The Yu family, Qin family, Xi family, and Feng family gathered together.

After eating and drinking, the table was obviously divided into several parts.

The Dad Party, led by Yu Weimin, gathered together to discuss current affairs and talk about development prospects.

Qin Zhiheng became the center of the younger generation. Sun Zehua was also very interested in studying abroad. When they talked about computer technology, they became more and more excited.

Cao Xiu waved her hand and pulled Wang Yuerong, Bai Lan and Feng's mother to sit together and play mahjong.

The children gathered together, staring at the dumplings on the plate and were reluctant to eat them.

In the north, people must eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and copper coins must be stuffed inside the dumplings.

Yu You and others strictly followed the requirements and only put one in the big pot.

Several elders have said that whoever eats the copper coin will receive a big red envelope as a reward!

To make it fair, the children choose first.

An An: "I'm not in a hurry, you guys choose first."

Ning Ning: "My brother is smarter than me, so I decided to let him choose my dumplings for me too."

Yanyan took direct action, grabbed two at random, and did not forget to give one to Yueyue.

"Eat, eat. There are so many dumplings for only one copper coin. It's too hard. It's better to eat the delicious ones first."

Feng Yuan and Feng Shuai followed closely behind. Before they took the money, they promised to give the copper coins to Yueyue.

The remaining children were still too young, so the older children just took some to eat, but unfortunately, no one got to eat.

Yu You sat in front of the sofa with a plate in hand, "It's our turn now, sister, you pick one first?"

The adults don't have an obsession with copper coins, they just want good luck.

It was divided quickly in a few seconds.

Everyone looked at each other, waiting for someone to spit out the coin.

But after a long time, no one spoke.

"Youyou, did you forget to put the copper coins in?"

Cao Xiu also found it strange that after all the dumplings had been distributed, no one spit out the lucky money.

Yu You shook her head. She remembered it clearly. That copper coin was a genuine Tongbao. It was impossible for her to forget it.

"Oh no, it couldn't be in Teacher Wan's share!"

Yu Rou suddenly slapped her forehead.

Their whole family came out to celebrate the New Year, but there were only three people in Wan Jingjing's family, which was a bit lonely.

But she was afraid that it would be uncomfortable to invite others over, so Yu Rou specially made an extra portion of dumplings and asked someone to deliver it.

But she clearly ordered a separate portion.

"It's likely that the kitchen added it all together and I didn't notice."

After all, it’s not your own kitchen. New Year’s Eve dinner is the busiest day for state-owned restaurants. The seats are always full, so it’s normal for mistakes to occur.

When the children heard this, they all said that it didn't count and they wanted to wrap the copper coins again.

Yu You didn't want to tire himself out, so he immediately raised his hand and said:

"Stay up quietly until midnight, and you'll get lucky money!"

When they heard that there would be lucky money, the children excitedly gathered together to discuss how to distribute the money.

The copper coin that they had forgotten about just happened to hit Wan Jingjing's teeth at this moment.

She frowned slightly and spat the heavy copper coins onto the table.

"Ouch!"

Wan Fu squinted his eyes and came closer to examine it carefully. "Qianlong Tongbao, it looks like a real thing."

In previous years, Wan Jingjing had New Year’s Eve dinner at the Peng family, and the old couple would just cook a few more dishes as if it were the New Year.

Now that there is only one more person, the house is brightly lit and there is finally a New Year atmosphere.

Wan Jingjing poked at the other dumplings again and confirmed that this was the only one in the portion sent by Yu Rou that contained a copper coin.

"Putting copper coins inside dumplings will bring good luck to anyone who eats them in the coming year. It's a good omen."

Wan's mother was very considerate and even when she sent someone a gift, she never forgot to put a prize inside.

The little episode added a bit of fun. Although only her parents were with her, Wan Jingjing felt that this New Year's Eve dinner was extremely warm.

Wanjia has the habit of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year. What's more, there are alleys outside the old courtyard, and the neighbors around gather together to set off firecrackers and compete with fireworks.

After your family finishes setting off their fireworks, I will go on stage. The sound of fireworks exploding one after another is so lively.

I can't sleep even if I want to.

However, there were no programs on TV, so the family of three sat under the eaves, drinking tea and chatting around a stove.

Wan Fu sighed, "Yueyue and you are so much alike. She will definitely notice it when she grows up."

"Yueyue is a very independent-minded child." Wan Jingjing pursed her lips. As Yueyue's teacher, she knew it best. "She knows what she wants. Even if she senses it, she will make her own decision."

She would not interfere with any of Yueyue's choices.

Even if it is like this for the rest of her life, it is good as long as she can stay with her daughter.

Wan's mother quietly wiped away a tear.

Her daughter had a miserable life. She married Bloomberg and seemed to be living a happy and prosperous life, but after her child was lost, she was left alone in the quagmire.

As for Bloomberg, he left a long time ago and has now married a new wife and is preparing to have a baby.

It is impossible to say that Wan's mother has no complaints.

Wan Fu gave her a reproachful look, fearing that her emotions would affect Wan Jingjing, so he deliberately changed the subject:

"I still remember when you were little, you were so ambitious. I wanted you to learn to paint, but you sneaked off to a dance class with your sketchpad on your back."

"That teacher is also weird. He let you in without even noticing."

"Of course I didn't notice. The first time, he saw I was cute and wanted to tease me. Later, he realized I was indeed a good material and wanted to keep me."

At that time, Wan Jingjing's drawing board was bigger than her, and she really couldn't muster up any interest.

Only the dancing figures in the dance studio were deeply engraved in her mind.

Therefore, the name Wan Jingjing is bound to be entangled with dance for the rest of her life.

Wan's mother also recalled: "You had just met Ying Kui at that time. He was smart and learned quickly. He was always lazy but still danced better than you. You came back so angry!"

Wan Jingjing suddenly smiled.

How can I not be angry?

The things you struggled to reach, others got them easily, and did it better than you and in less time than you.

The reason she hasn't given up because of Ying Kui's passion for dancing is that she hasn't given up yet.

"He's only good at dancing," Wan Jingjing said. "The rest of the time he acts like a playboy. He definitely came to our house for free meals."

"The first time Ying Kui tried to eat for free, he scared me. I remember it was your first time participating in a competition, and you were practicing in the dance studio before the competition. I went to bring you food, and that kid came over with a bowl."

"If you don't know, you might think the dog has become a spirit, its eyes are shining."

"His parents are not around, the nanny isn't taking good care of him, and it's normal since he's still growing."

The Wan family's parents were old after all, and they chatted with Wan Jingjing for half the night. After the sound of firecrackers outside gradually died down, they both fell asleep in their chairs.

"Dad, Mom, go back to your room and rest. Don't get sick from the cold outside."

Wan Jingjing called out softly, helped the two elders back to the room, and forced herself to clean up and prepare the New Year's dinner.
