Bonnie picked out Sanqi's teeth, removed the coins, and threw the rest away.
"It's alright, keep eating. Don't put the whole dumpling in your mouth this time."
Bonnie gave her a little reminder; her son was so focused on his dad that he forgot to be careful.
"Sanqi, may you get rich!"
Gu Xuanyi had already eaten five or six coins, but hadn't found a coin yet. He was about to be full.
The second person to find the coin was Bonnie. She'll have another house to rent out after the New Year, so she's going to make a fortune!
Liu Jiu and Xuan Yu also got the coin, but Gu Xuan Yi was still struggling.
Nobody can help him. The dumplings with coins inside weren't marked, so nobody knows which one is which. It's really a matter of probability.
Finally, Gu Xuanyi couldn't eat anymore. He felt like he had eaten all the dumplings, and since he didn't have any coins, he gave up.

Bonnie went back to her room first. She lay on her bed and thought about her past life.
Every year during the Lunar New Year, her father almost never comes home, leaving only her and her mother to stay up late and eat dumplings.
When she was eight years old, her front tooth was knocked out by a coin during the Lunar New Year. As a result, she didn't dare to speak for the entire month of the Lunar New Year, for fear of showing her gap-toothed tooth.
Later, Lao Jiang even teased her, saying that she was small for her age but had a lot on her plate, and that she already knew about beauty and ugliness.
That was one of the few times in her memory that Old Jiang and she laughed together.
Bonnie didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she was in a warm embrace. Gu Ye had returned.
She gently moved Gu Ye's arm away, got dressed, and left the room.
On the table, the plate of dumplings was gone, and a coin remained on the side of the plate.
