Chapter 480 Lucky Coin
Jiang Wanwan slowly slowed down her humming and touched Xiao Nuonuo's hair. His little face was still a little red because he had fallen asleep.
She calculated the date and had to take the college entrance examination after the New Year (due to misremembering the information, taking Guangdong as an example, the college entrance examination should be in December. I remembered it wrong here and it is difficult to change the previous text, so I changed it to after the New Year. Please forgive me). The spring of 1978 was the first season for students to enter school.
Time is running out and things will get tense after the New Year.
Jiang Wanwan coaxed Xiao Nuonuo to sleep, then got up and went outside to help with cooking.
Seeing that she really wanted to get involved, Shen Xingjiang didn’t say anything to her.
It’s usually boring to cook alone, so a group of women sit together to roll out dough and make dumplings.
Cheng Lingxue washed two five-cent coins and said, "Pack them up later."
This year's dumplings have hard fillings, pork and sauerkraut.
The sauerkraut filling is appetizing and fresh.
If I don’t eat for a few days, I’ll just make a sauerkraut pork box and eat one at noon. It’s enough to dig a few ridges of land.
Cheng Lingxue gave Jiang Wanwan one: "Sister-in-law, you take it in."
The dumplings made by Jiang Wanwan don’t look that nice and upright.
She put the coin in it and said, "Tell me, is it because I make dumplings ugly, slowly and in small quantities that you let me make them so that you can choose the ones I make when the time comes?"
Cheng Lingxue chuckled: "You think too much, sister-in-law."
What nonsense are you talking about.
She just wanted to eat her sister-in-law's dumplings, so she could get coins from them.
Qin Xiao also saw through her little thoughts and kindly reminded her: "Then you have to think carefully. When you sit at the table, you will be able to grab the dumplings from your second brother. Do you believe that your second brother will definitely not eat dumplings made by others?"
Cheng Lingxue believed it, so when dinner started that night, the dumplings served to the men's table did not include the ones made by Jiang Wanwan.
She just went up and clapped her hands.
I found that there was a fat and a little ugly one in the dumpling in front of Shen Xingjiang: “Ah, one is missing.”
Shen Xingjiang noticed her gaze and found a fat dumpling on the plate.
Jiang Wanwan is the only one in the family who can make such plump dumplings.
Shen Xingjiang frowned. He saw her making a lot of dumplings in the afternoon, so why was there only this one on the plate?
He picked up the chopsticks and put it in the bowl.
There were plump white dumplings at the bottom of the bowl, and I said goodbye to Cheng Lingxue in tears.
Cheng Lingxue: “…”
Made a mistake.
It’s a bargain for my second brother.
Although Cheng Lingxue felt pain, she comforted herself that it was okay.
She pinched her waist and said, "Eat it. It's just this one, and you can't tell the difference."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound of something hitting the bottom of Shen Xingjiang's bowl.
Shen Xingjiang picked up the five-cent coin and raised his eyebrows: “You’re looking for this?”
"Your sister-in-law packed one and you thoughtfully put it in my bowl, thank you."
Cheng Lingxue covered her mouth and pointed at the coin: "Why is it with you? I, I want to eat!"
"Because my second sister-in-law makes fewer dumplings and has her own unique style, I deliberately asked her to make one, and then one slipped onto your plate, so you had to eat it!"
When the people in the room heard this, they burst into laughter.
Cheng Wenyuan smiled and raised his glass of white wine: "I'm sorry to make you laugh at these kids."
Shen Yejun narrowed his eyes and took a sip of wine, his neck and face turned red.
He clinked glasses with Cheng Wenyuan: "I've never seen Xingjiang laugh with anyone like this before. He likes Lingxue very much."
"Come on, brother. Without your cultivation, I wouldn't have such an outstanding son. I thank you. Let's have a drink."
Cheng Wenyuan expressed his sincere thanks.
Shen Xingjiang was recognized back, but Cheng Wenyuan respected him and did not force him to change his name...
Shen Yejun is also a father, and he knows that this decision is difficult for a man. Of course, Shen Xingjiang will not recognize him, which is the main reason.
But Cheng Wenyuan was able to do this and even spend the New Year here with his children. He was happy and grateful from the bottom of his heart.
"No, no, that's too polite. You're just born lucky."
The two exchanged greetings for a while and felt warm inside.
Cheng Lingxue's heart still felt cold.
"Sister-in-law... my coins are gone."
By the time Jiang Wanwan went to feed the child, her sister-in-law's eyes were filled with tears.
"So soon... who's eating?"
Cheng Lingxue pouted, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Qin Xiao, who witnessed everything, also said, "Ling Xue just delivered the dumplings and placed all the ones you made on our table, except for one that was left for your man."
Jiang Wanwan thought it couldn't be such a coincidence, so she asked, "So? That one is the one that slipped through the net?"
"What? Was he eaten by Shen Xingjiang?"
Cheng Lingxue was really about to cry.
"Wow... He ate that one and he even thanked me. How could this person be so mean?"
So annoying.
Her lucky coin is gone, gone! ! !
Cheng Lingxue was heartbroken.
"Sister-in-law, why do you like my second brother? Why do you want to give birth to three children for him? He is so mean, just like my eldest brother."
Cheng Hanzhang was unhappy: "Just attack him, why bring me along?"
Qin Xiaoye: "You have some knowledge of yourself. Your sister is right."
It's New Year's Day, and this incident is really heartbreaking.
Jiang Wanwan coaxed Cheng Lingxue: "Be good."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll make you another one tomorrow and give it to you.
Of course Cheng Lingxue would not be fooled: "But it's not Chinese New Year, so it won't work."
Still sad.
Why is she the only one sad during this Chinese New Year?
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry out of grievance, Xu Lan said distressedly: "It's okay, there is another one, your sister-in-law also bought one."
"Besides, your sister-in-law makes it even uglier. Look for it quickly. You might eat it."
Qin Xiaoye: "..."
"Wait a minute? What did I just hear?"
Xu Lan gave her a look, indicating that she should not worry about it and just deal with this matter first.
Cheng Lingxue thought about it, but she was still upset: "I always pack my sister-in-law's dumplings separately."
Too ugly.
She didn't really want to eat.
Jiang Wanwan: "Look at what my sister-in-law makes. The skin is thick and the filling is small. It's not a burden to eat. You can eat three of them for one of mine, right? Come on and eat."
Cheng Lingxue thought about it and agreed.
She suddenly felt that her lucky coin had been found.
She thought the fewer coins there were, the luckier she would be, so she only shuffled two.
Who knew that one would be gone at the very beginning.
When Cheng Hanzhang heard what they said, he glanced at the dumplings on the plate.
Pick up the chopsticks and put all the ugly ones into your bowl.
When Shen Xingjiang saw it, he also wanted to follow suit.
Then I felt a very threatening gaze.
He went to eat something else in silence.
Jiang Wanwan withdrew her gaze and helped Cheng Lingxue pick dumplings.
"Here, my sister-in-law didn't make that many. You can eat all five of these."
Cheng Lingxue nodded. Even though she disliked the skinny dumplings, she still picked one up and started eating.
She just ate three.
Cheng Hanzhang, who was sitting on the kang table, took a coin out of his mouth and said, "Hey, what is this? It hurts my teeth so much."
