"I ate the gold coin."

Shen Baili bit the gold coin and held it in her hand with surprise.

The gold coin doesn’t weigh much, but it is real gold.

Gold!

And it is gold that represents good luck.

Shen Baili looked at Jinzi, her pretty face full of smiles and her eyebrows and eyes curved.

Happiness is that simple.

"Wow!" Xie Tingsi looked at Shen Baili in surprise.

"Xiao Lihua, you are amazing. You are the first one to eat the gold."

"You must be extremely lucky this year!"

Xie Tingsi ruffled her soft black hair and said, "Let my second brother have some good luck."

Shen Baili was in a good mood and didn't bother with him.

"Rub it for you."

Shen Wan looked at her daughter with a smile, her eyes full of love.

In the past six months, Shen Baili has obviously become much more lively.

Shen Wan wants her daughter to be happy, rather than taking on family responsibilities at an age when she should be enjoying her youth.

This should have been her responsibility.

"Our Shunshun is really a lucky little star." Xie Liuzhengsi made no secret of her love for Shen Baili.

Shen Baili smiled sweetly: "Aunt Xie, you should try it too, maybe the next gold coin will be in your bowl."

Xie Liuzheng: "Okay."

She bit into a dumpling with great anticipation. The dumpling had a thin skin and large fillings, and was very delicious.

Xie Liuzheng was not disappointed: "It's stuffed with crab meat, very good."

Xie Tingsi: "Hahahaha, mine is also filled with crab meat. The dumplings I make myself are just delicious!"

In the first round, except for Shen Baili, no one else got to eat the gold coins, but the atmosphere at the dinner table was very good, lively and warm.

Xie Tingsi ate ten dumplings in one go. There were all kinds of fillings, but he didn't get the ones with gold coin filling.

"This is the last one."

Xie Zhiyu handed him a glass of water.

Xie Tingsi drank up all the water and ate the last dumpling in one gulp.

It tastes like sauerkraut beef.

Xie Tingsi almost burst into tears.

"I have no chance of getting gold coins."

He had a very positive attitude: "But my sister was very lucky. She got the gold coin, which means I got it too."

Xie Liuzheng: "Shameless."

"Then you have to give Sui Sui a big red envelope."

Xie Tingsi: "Of course!"

Shen Baili said very politely: "Thank you, second brother!"

Xie Tingsi smiled brightly: "You're welcome. Second brother will definitely give you a huge red envelope tomorrow."

"Eat the dumplings first, they will get cold later." Shen Wan reminded.

Xie Tingsi was very much looking forward to this segment. Although he didn't have the chance to eat the gold coins, it didn't stop him from watching other people eat.

"Dad, hurry up!"

"And big brother, do you want me to help you share some of the burden?"

Xie Zhiyu: “No, thank you.”

…

Afterwards, Shen Wan and Xie Chengyue ate twenty-two dumplings together, and Xie Liuzheng and Xie Zhiyu each got a gold coin.

Shen Baili deserves the title of little lucky star. She ate three gold coins in one breath.

As a little lucky star, it is very reasonable for you to make yourself prosperous first!

"Xiao Lihua, you are a lucky star." Xie Tingsi was shocked.

Shen Baili touched her slightly bulging belly, which was full of dumplings.

"Thank you. Thank you."

Xie Tingsi was inexplicably tickled by the joke and laughed heartily.

"Xiao Lihua, you talk like a heroine, hahahaha."

Shen Baili tilted her head, not understanding what was so funny about her.

Xie Zhiyu was rarely sharp-tongued: "When you laugh, you look like a Husky."

"What is Erha?" Xie Chengyue didn't understand the jokes used by young people, but he could identify the nature of words based on the context, half out of curiosity and half out of teasing.

Xie Tingsi: "It's a dog."

"Brother! You called me a dog!!!" He realized it belatedly.

"I didn't." Xie Zhiyu said calmly, "You said it yourself."

Xie Liuzheng's lips curled up: "I heard it too."

"Listen, you are the one calling yourself a dog."

Xie Tingsi fell into their logic and was successfully led astray: "Really?"

Xie Chengyue: “Yes.”

Shen Baili and Shen Wan looked at each other and saw the corners of each other's mouth curled up.

Xie Tingsi said seriously: "Let me clarify, I am not a Husky, nor am I a dog."

“I am a human being.”

There was silence at the table for a second, then laughter broke out.

Xie Tingsi was the first to laugh.

The New Year's Eve dinner was spent in laughter and joy.

"Let's watch the Spring Festival Gala together." Xie Tingsi took the initiative to suggest.

"You wouldn't go to bed so early, would you?"

Xie Tingsi's beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with great expectations.

Shen Baili: "Okay!"

She glanced at her watch: "There are only five minutes left before the Spring Festival Gala starts!"

Xie Liuzheng couldn't wait: "I'll go turn on the TV!"

The Xie family does not have the habit of watching the Spring Festival Gala together. After the New Year’s Eve dinner, it is time for each of them to have their own time.

Sometimes Xie Chengyue and Xie Zhiyu are both busy with work on New Year's Eve, while Xie Zhiyu usually goes out to party or play games with friends.

Xie Liuzheng and Duan Xing went back to their room to watch a romantic movie or something.

In short, New Year's Day was no different from any other day for the Xie family.

The joining of Shen Wan and Shen Baili injected vitality into the Xie family.

There is a strong vitality surging in their bones.

People outside said that Shen Wan was a Cinderella who married into a wealthy family and got lucky, but in Xie Liuzheng's view, being able to marry a girl like Shen Wan was a blessing in his brother's life, and she was also blessed by it.

Shen Wan and Shen Baili are both lucky stars of the Xie family.

…

This year's Spring Festival Gala was very interesting.

The songs and dances are wonderful, the skits are interesting and close to reality, and the magic show is amazing...

Shen Baili was eating durian and watching with gusto.

Xie Tingsi slumped on the sofa, laughing from time to time.

"When I participate in the Spring Festival Gala next year, I will perform a song called 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau' for you."

Xie Zhiyu: "...Don't make it hard on yourself."

Xie Liuzheng recalled his nephew's fatal song: "Let the audience go."

"I'm just not good at the bass, but my high notes are pretty good." Xie Tingsi opened his voice and prepared to sing a song.

He had just started to sing when it broke.

Xie Tingsi blushed: "Uh..."

Xie Chengyuesi didn't give him face at all: "Even the high notes are not good."

Xie Liuzheng comforted her: "It's okay, you still have your acting skills and your face."

"This is the confidence that gives you the courage to enter the entertainment industry."

Xie Tingsi sank into the sofa again and said weakly, "Aunt, thank you."

Xie Liuzheng: “You’re welcome.”

She thought for a moment and said, "If you perform on the Spring Festival Gala next year, then I won't be able to celebrate the New Year at home."

She subconsciously believed that Xie Tingsi could perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

"Yes." Xie Tingsi was very confident.

"How about the whole family go on a trip with me? Spend the New Year in Beijing?"

Xie Chengyue: "Let's talk about it after you perform on the Spring Festival Gala."

He didn't refuse.

Xie Tingsi smiled happily: "Okay!"

"Wait." He straightened his back proudly, then collapsed again after a moment.

There's nothing I can do. The sofa is too comfortable.

"There are still ten minutes until midnight!" Xie Tingsi sat up again.

"Let's go set off fireworks together."

“How can we count down to the New Year without fireworks!!!”

Xie Liuzheng was used to his eccentric personality and his ability to do whatever he wanted.

"Where are the fireworks? It's too late to buy some now, right?"

Xie Tingsi smiled slyly: "Follow me."

"I'm ready."

As a top student representative of the second-generation rich who enjoy life, Xie Tingsi knows the New Year's Eve process very well.

This year, for the rare occasion, Xie Chengyue and Xie Zhiyu were both at home, and both of them allowed him to watch the Spring Festival Gala with them. How could he miss this rare opportunity?

Opportunity is fleeting.

Xie Zhiyu was not disappointed. He stood up and said, "Let's go. Where should we put it?"

"Of course it's in the yard!" Xie Tingsi sneered, "If you want to put it here, it's not impossible."

"Tomorrow the house needs to be renovated."

Xie Zhiyu: "...This cold joke is not funny."

"It's a bit cold outside, you need to wear a coat." Xie Tingsi reminded very reliably.

The villa is equipped with fully automatic central air conditioning, so even if the temperature outside is below zero, the indoor temperature is as warm as spring.

“Hurry up, hurry up!”

"No need to go upstairs to get them. I've already prepared some thick clothes!"

“Thump, thump, thump!”

Xie Tingsi took out a big bag from the corner and took out six identical green military coats from it.

Xie Liuzheng: "Where did you buy it from?"

Xie Tingsi: "Secret, put it on quickly, it's warm."

Xie Liuzheng shook his head: "You are really not fashionable."

The head of the family, Xie Chengyue, took two sets, one for Shen Wan and the other for Shen Baili.

“It’s not fashionable, but it’s warm.”

As Xie Chengyue spoke, he leaned over and took out two more pieces, and put one on Xie Liuzheng.

Xie Tingsi, who was standing next to him, naturally reached out to take it, and Xie Chengyue put it on himself: "You two, put it on quickly too."

“Time waits for no one.”

Xie Tingsi's shoulders sank. He looked back and saw Xie Zhiyu had already put on his military coat. "Let's go."

With his height, figure, and aura, he turned the two-hundred-yuan military coat he bought from the market into something luxurious.

Xie Tingsi: "Let's go!"

"When we go out, people come back a lot."

The cold wind blew towards his face and Xie Tingsi closed his mouth.

"It's so cold." Xie Liuzheng huddled in his military coat: "This coat is really warm."

Military coats are available in both men's and women's sizes. Xie Tingsi took the height of the girls in his family into consideration and bought the smallest size.

Shen Wan and Xie Liuzheng were not short in height, and the military coats just reached their calves, enveloping their entire bodies in warmth.

Shen Wan held Xie Chengyue's arm, and stretched out her other hand in the air.

"Sui Sui?"

Shen Baili poked her head out from behind Xie Zhiyu: "Mom, I'm here."

Xie Zhiyu was tall and big, perfectly blocking the oncoming cold wind.

Hearing her mother's call, Shen Baili mustered up the courage to face the cold wind and quickly moved to Shen Wan's side.

Her military coat was the smallest one, but it was still too long for her and dragged on the ground.

In order to avoid dirtying the hem, Shen Baili cleverly put her hands in her pockets and then lifted her clothes. She looked clumsy and cute, like a silly penguin.

Xie Zhiyu just wanted to help her lift the hem of her clothes, but the little penguin Shen Baili found the perfect solution herself.

"Watch your step," he warned.

Xie Zhiyu took a few steps forward and found another person following him.

Xie Liuzheng smiled faintly, very satisfied: "Zhiyu, it's warm here."

Xie Zhiyu moved to the side to block the remaining cold wind.

"Aunt, follow me."

Xie Liuzheng: "Okay."

…

Xie Tingsi lifted the waterproof cloth, and a row of fireworks appeared neatly in front of everyone.

This place is not far from the living room, and through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the Spring Festival Gala being broadcast on the big-screen TV.

"Three minutes left!"

"Xiao Lihua, big brother, come and help me."

Shen Baili said happily: "I'm here."

Shen Wan pulled Xie Chengyue along: "Let's help too."

"Sui Sui, be careful and don't fall."

"Okay!" Shen Baili heard it.

Xie Liuzheng also joined the fireworks transporters.

The six people worked together and quickly placed the fireworks in the designated location.

"One more minute!" Shen Baili held her mother's hand, looked at her watch, and was extremely excited.

"Thirty seconds." Xie Tingsi said.

"Fifteen seconds." Xie Zhiyu walked towards the fireworks barrel: "Get ready to light it."

"Five seconds."

"Three seconds, two seconds, one second!"

"Happy New Year!" Shen Baili shouted.

"Happy New Year!" Shen Wan smiled and rubbed her head.

"Happy New Year!" Xie Tingsi responded loudly, his face filled with joy.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Points of light rose into the air like arrows piercing the clouds, exploding into countless fireworks, and then fell from the night sky like meteors, blooming brilliantly, lighting up the entire night sky and the faces of everyone in the yard.

Shen Baili looked up at the sea of ​​flowers, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

She held her mother's hand tightly and made her first wish for the New Year.

I hope my mother will be healthy and happy, and that their family will live happily together forever.

They were all watching the fireworks, and Xie Chengyue glanced sideways at Shen Wan beside him.

The fireworks illuminated Shen Wan's face. Her smile was more eye-catching than the fireworks. Xie Chengyue's mouth corners curled up slightly.

Happy New Year.

"I will never forget this night, I will never forget this night, no matter where in the world..."

The huge living room was filled with the soulful and loud singing of a female singer, and the new year had begun.

***

Different from the bustling and noisy outside world, all the major prisons in Haicheng ended their Spring Festival parties at 10:30 and returned to silence.

The prisoners developed a good schedule and went to sleep early.

In a prison cell, the prisoners were secretly playing homemade cards, while Gu Yeliang was numbly cleaning the toilet.

From the moment he entered prison, Gu Yeliang clearly understood that he had been abandoned by the Gu family.

Life in prison is not easy. People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. He became thin due to hospitalization, his right hand is disabled, and he has no one to rely on. It is obvious that he is being bullied.

In fact, this is true.

It is impossible for prison guards to monitor every corner of the prison at all times, and bullying happens all the time in places they cannot see.

Gu Yeliang was the main target. He fought back hard but was no match for the group of people besieging him. Not long after he was discharged from the hospital, he received another hospital package.

He was in pain both physically and mentally, and the hopelessness and despair that had led him to the abyss of despair was corroding his heart all the time.

At that time, the only thing Gu Yeliang thought of was Sang Ya.

When he was imprisoned, the Gu family had not yet taken action against Sang Ya, so he did not know the news.

Did Sang Ya go abroad? Was she plotted against by Gu Yi and Gu Yue?

Without him as an opponent, Gu Yue and Gu Yi would start fighting, and the first person to suffer would be Sang Ya. It was unknown whether the Sang family could protect her.

Gu Yeliang thought a lot, but before he could figure it out, he saw the news that Sang Ya was also imprisoned.

His first reaction was that Sang Ya went to prison with him.

The next second, I was amused by this absurd idea.

Gu Yeliang anticipated Sang Ya's outcome. He thought that Old Master Sang would pick her up, but he didn't expect that she would also be abandoned.

Will Sang Ya be sad? Will she be heartbroken? Is she doing well in prison?

"Get lost, pretty boy."

Gu Yeliang was kicked down by a strong force. The man looked at him with disgust, took off his pants without hesitation and urinated.

The liquid splashed everywhere, splashing onto Gu Yeliang's cuffs. He suppressed his disgust and moved back silently.

The man glanced at him without even flushing the toilet: "Clean it up."

Gu Yeliang felt like vomiting.

Although he was an illegitimate child, he had lived a life of luxury for many years and had never suffered such a disgusting humiliation.

He couldn't hold it in and vomited while bending over. When he saw the yellow liquid in the toilet, he felt even more nauseous.

Everyone in the room laughed.

"Girlface is just hypocritical."

Gu Yeliang ignored the mocking voices. He flushed the toilet with an expressionless face, picked up the brush and scrubbed the toilet again.

He would rather stay in the hospital than in prison. Every second he spent there made him feel uncomfortable and want to vomit.

…

Sang Ya, the ex-girlfriend whom Gu Yeliang was thinking about, was hiding under the quilt and crying secretly.

She didn't dare cry out loud and could only bite her lip and shed tears silently.

Every day here is hell for her.

The spoiled young lady had never lived in a dormitory before. As soon as she entered the prison, she was assigned to a six-person room, which was not even as big as her own toilet.

Sang Ya was extremely disgusted, but there was more to it than that.

The prison enforces a strict schedule for prisoners. They go to bed at 10 a.m. and get up at 5:30 a.m. every day. They start doing handicrafts at 7 a.m. After finishing handicrafts in the morning, they have to do them in the afternoon as well. Sometimes they operate sewing machines, sometimes they make dolls... Anyway, there is work to do every day, and their arms are sore from working so hard.

After finishing the work, I still have to learn various correct ideas and write reviews after reading or watching a book...

She had never been so tired in her life. As soon as she closed her eyes and opened them again, a new nightmare came.

My roommates were also difficult to get along with. There was a big sister who was sentenced to life imprisonment and was said to kill people without blinking an eye.

Sang Ya was disciplined on the first day he arrived.

She lost her temper like a spoiled little princess and tried to avoid collective labor by being lazy. Others tried to persuade her but to no avail. She was slapped in the face by the big sister and became obedient. Then they told her about the big sister's various deeds.

From then on, Sang Ya's princess syndrome was cured. She learned courtesy and consideration and became the most hardworking person in the prison cell.

You can neither eat well nor sleep well. The food in prison is not for human consumption. Not only is it unpalatable, but you can also find different things in it from time to time, such as bugs, hair, and even Band-Aids!

After less than two months in prison, Sang Ya lost ten pounds and the flesh on his cheeks became sunken.

She wanted to go home, she wanted to have New Year's Eve dinner with her grandfather, she didn't want to stay here.

Wuwu ...…

Dad, Mom, Grandpa, she can’t hold on any longer, someone come and save her, wuwuwuwuwu…

With a "bang", Sang Ya was hit on the head by the pillow.

"Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry. You've cried away all your blessings."

“Bad luck!”

The irritable female voice cursed, and Sang Ya immediately shut up, sobbing and choking, and politely returned the pillow to the big sister: "I'm... I'm sorry, big sister."

"Go to sleep! Don't force me to slap you on New Year's Day!"

"Hehe..." Lin Ran beside him couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The big sister couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up and gave Lin Ran and Sang Ya a big fight each.

“Snap! Snap!”

The sound was clear and pleasant, but the big sister was still angry after being woken up: "If you keep making noise, you two bad guys will have to sleep in the toilet!"

A neurotic love brain and a liar who likes to add fuel to the fire are not good people.

The big sister lay back and soon fell asleep.

Lin Ran and Sang Ya looked at the slap marks on each other's cheeks, rolled their eyes at each other, and dared not say anything.

They don't want to sleep in the toilet.

Tonight, someone else is sleeping in the toilet.

Gu Yeliang curled up in the corner of the toilet, looking up at the small iron window of the toilet. The sky was pitch black.

…

Winter vacation is over.

Shen Baili's chemistry and physical fitness have improved by leaps and bounds, and she has grown one centimeter taller.

She is very satisfied.

On the first day of school, Shen Baili went for a morning run as usual, and then went to school full of energy.

"A Deng, has your energy bar changed?"

"Sui Sui, I found my bug!" Ah Deng's mechanical voice was extremely happy.
