English Translation #

On Valentine’s Day, Lìlì went to her grandparents’ orchard to help. The orchard was full of apple trees, pear trees, and orange trees. Her good friend Xiǎomíng came along as well.

“Lìlì, Xiǎomíng, today we are going to pick oranges!” Grandpa said happily. They carried baskets and began picking oranges in the orchard. The oranges were big and sweet, and Lìlì and Xiǎomíng ate a few while picking.

After finishing the orange harvest, Grandma took them to the kitchen to teach them how to make dumplings. Grandma said, “In China, making dumplings is an important holiday tradition.” Lìlì and Xiǎomíng learned attentively. Even though their dumplings didn’t look very pretty, they were happy.

After lunch, Grandpa took out a small box, which contained a pair of beautiful red gloves. He said to Lìlì, “This is a Valentine’s Day gift for you. I hope you won’t feel cold in winter.” Lìlì smiled with gratitude.

In the evening, they sat together in the orchard and watched the sunset. Lìlì felt that this was her most special Valentine’s Day ever.
