Chapter 139 This is just shit luck
Xu Nan didn’t get her wish in the end. Xu Jinyu finally got down from the mahjong table—it was because Xu Rui couldn’t stand it anymore and felt that he couldn’t be a good brother anymore, so he “persuaded” her to get down. But as soon as she stood up, Xu Rui sat down right after her! Xu Nan couldn’t occupy this position! Xu Nan was so
angry that he almost cried!
Why is his family status so low?
Because of mahjong, this year’s New Year’s Eve passed especially quickly!
At dawn, a servant came in to serve, and Xu asked subconsciously: “What? Dawn? So soon?”
It felt like only an hour had passed, how come it was already dawn?
"Dad, of course you don't feel that time has passed quickly, you have mahjong. I think if you keep playing, you won't even remember my mother's name."
Xu Nan's voice was as sad as a woman who had been widowed for ten years.
Xu Jiang glared at his little son, "What are you talking about?"
Don't you just want to play? Why should he learn to play cards at such a young age? The most important thing he should do is study!
"It's a win!"
Xu's mother suddenly shouted excitedly, and pushed her own cards down with trembling hands, "Look, is it a win? It's still Thirteen Yao!"
Xu Muhua was shocked, and stood up involuntarily, leaning forward to stare at Xu's mother's pushed cards. After seeing clearly, he opened his mouth and couldn't find words to say!
It really is Thirteen Yao!
Is her mother lucky? A novice actually drew Thirteen Yao?
Xu Jiang looked at his wife's cards, and he was so jealous!
She hadn't even figured out how to play mahjong yet, but she actually drew a Thirteen Yao!
"Haha, it seems that Madam is very lucky. I believe that she will be very lucky in the coming year!"
Jealousy is jealousy, but nice words still need to be said!
Xu Rui looked at his mother's cards and exhaled, "Yes, mother, you are so lucky!"
Xu's mother also knew that she was lucky to draw Thirteen Yao, but she still snorted, "Why, it's not possible, is it my own ability?"
Xu Rui and Xu Jiang looked at each other, a smile flashed in their eyes, and they said at the same time: "Maybe!"
Xu's mother smiled so hard because of this Thirteen Yao that she could hardly see her eyeballs!
"Come again, come again!"
Seeing that she was getting addicted, Xu Muhua said quickly, "Mom, it's almost time. It's almost dawn. It's the first day of the new year. There are still many things to do. There is no time to play mahjong. Let's do it another day, another day!"
Xu's mother was reluctant to get up. Xu Muhua listened anxiously and said, "Mom, I heard the sound of firecrackers. We can't fall behind!"
"Really? Why didn't I hear it?"
"Really, other people have started to set off firecrackers. Let's move faster!"
"Okay, okay, then get busy first, and continue after you're done!"
Xu's mother was still not satisfied.
With an order, the people below quickly prepared everything.
General Xu and Xu's mother first took their children to the ancestral hall. Even the old lady got up and came to worship the various gods and the ancestors of the Xu family. After the worship was completed, they prepared to set off firecrackers at the gate.
These firecrackers are usually set off by men in the family. In the past, when Xu Jiang and Xu Rui did not come back, this task was handed over to Xu Nan. After all, he is a child of the Chengguo Mansion. Even if he is young, he has to take the responsibility of setting off firecrackers. So he is very experienced! The
servant opened the door, and the father and his two sons stood at the door, one at a time, and quickly lit up and left. The sound of firecrackers immediately rang out, and the crackling sound was incessant. The doors of other houses around also heard sounds one after another, and it can be said that the sound of firecrackers was deafening.
Families who lived nearby would also congratulate each other, and the sound of firecrackers, congratulations, and laughter made people involuntarily show a celebratory smile on their faces.
Xu Muhua's heart also became lively.
In the past, there was no special mood for celebrating the New Year in modern times. Firstly, she didn't have many relatives around her. Secondly, modern people have too many restrictions during the New Year. They are not allowed to do this or that. The New Year atmosphere has long disappeared and it is very boring.
After setting off the firecrackers, Xu Jiang walked back to his wife and put his arm around her shoulders. Xu's mother looked up and smiled at him, and then they watched the eldest son and the younger son playing crazy in front of them. The eldest daughter also did it from time to time, causing the younger son to scream. As for the younger daughter, she stood quietly aside, and she was used to it.
Every child has his or her own personality. As long as he or she doesn't hurt himself or others, there is nothing wrong with it.
Xu's mother thought about not forcing her children, but Xu Jinyu had another idea. She just felt that their family was biased and stupid. They didn't favor their own children, but favored outsiders instead.
She didn't even think about how much worse she was than Xu Muhua! After all, Xu Muhua was brought back by the Xu family to be raised, but she had viciously snatched away Xu Jinyu's body, and had stolen her home, harming Xu Jinyu!
Perhaps she had been a human being for too long, and had forgotten who she was.
In the end, it was Xu's mother who was worried that it was too cold outside and that the children would catch a cold, so she urged everyone to go back to the house to keep warm.
Then they went to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.
The old lady sat in the upper seat in new and festive clothes, watching her son, daughter-in-law, and several grandchildren kneeling down to wish her a happy new year, and she smiled so hard that her gums were exposed.
The children of Xu Rui's grandchildren all received a considerable amount of New Year's money, as well as a handful of fruits.
After the New Year greetings, it was time to eat dumplings.
Xu Muhua even found a copper coin in the dumpling!
"Wow, big sister, you are so lucky!"
Xu Muhua looked at the copper coin and didn't know whether to be happy or thankful that she didn't use too much force just now, otherwise two of her teeth would have been broken!
She giggled: "That's not the case, my intuition tells me that in this new year, my luck will get better and better! I will definitely get what I want!"
She looked at Xu Jiang and Xu Rui and said: "I hope that in the new year, Dad and big brother will be safe and healthy!"
After that, she looked at the old lady and Xu's mother, "I hope grandma will live a long and healthy life! I hope everything goes well for mom!"
"And Anan and Jinyu, I hope my brothers and sisters will be healthy and smart!"
"Okay, okay, we all hope that Muhua can achieve her dream, and hope that our family will be safe and healthy!"
said the old lady.
Her biggest wish is that her whole family can be safe and healthy! She doesn't ask for anything else, just that her children are well!
"Grandma, don't worry, you will definitely achieve your dream!"
Xu Muhua said loudly.
In short, she will never let the Xu family end up in a miserable ending like in the novel!
