A few men, after setting off firecrackers, went into the house, washed their hands and faces, and ate.
I haven't digested last night's meal yet, and I didn't have much energy to eat this morning.
Only the third brother's eyes were as big as light bulbs, and he was staring at his stomach.
Wu Zhiqiu couldn't eat more after eating a few, and he didn't care if he couldn't eat the coins! The old man and the old lady didn't eat much either.
Although the young men were in low spirits, they managed their brains and mouths separately. In order to get rich this year, they ate even though they were not hungry!
I couldn't eat while sitting, so I stood up to eat, but I didn't get a single coin after eating for half a day.
Finally, there was only one plate left, with about a dozen items on it. Several people were so busy with their chopsticks that they stuffed food into their mouths one after another without even waiting to swallow it.
They were also staring at each other to see who would eat it first!
Until the last dumpling on the plate was eaten, not a single coin was found!
Several people who were so full that they couldn't even bend down looked straight at Wu Zhiqiu and the other women. They were the ones who wrapped it! The coin was so big that it was impossible to swallow it.
Wu Zhiqiu didn't know either. He must have been wrapped up, so how could he fly away?
When everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, Liu Cuihua slapped her thigh
"I gave Wangcai some dumplings. Did I feed them all to the dog?" Wangcai's family's guard dog was tied up in the backyard because there were many people at home during the New Year.
After cooking dumplings last night, Liu Cuihua fed Wangcai a small bowl of dumplings. The dog is also a member of the family and should eat dumplings too.
Several boys quickly ran to the backyard
After a while, several people came back with their heads down.
"The one who will get rich this year is Wangcai!" The third brother was holding a few coins in his hand, all of which were found in Wangcai's dog food bowl!
Everyone in the room was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. How could they be so mean? They just fed everything to the dogs!
Liu Cuihua was also very embarrassed. She just picked it up casually, how could it be such a coincidence!
"Uncle, can you give me Wangcai?" The third brother didn't get the coin, so he wanted to take away Wangcai who got the coin!
"Where can you raise it if you want it? Why don't you just divide it up and live on your own?" Wu Zhiqiu showed a threatening look on his face. Where could there be a place to raise a dog in such a slum?
Third brother…why his wishes on New Year’s Day were not fulfilled!
After dinner, I quickly cleaned up. Just as I finished, some young people from the village came to pay New Year's greetings.
Li Mancang and Li Mantun also took their children to the village to pay New Year's greetings to other elders.
Wu Zhiqiu and her friends stayed at home to entertain the guests. Children loved candy, and no matter whose house they went to, they would take a few pieces.
Dabao and Erbao had their pockets full of firecrackers. They ran around the village, picking up the unexploded firecrackers from house to house.
The adults got together and started organizing a game and playing cards.
The Li family never played with outsiders. They were stingy and felt bad when they lost money. It was better not to play at all, and make themselves unhappy during the New Year.
Don’t play with outsiders, you can play with family members. If you lose, you can cheat. Just treat it as a way to sharpen your claws when you have nothing to do.
The old lady brought her two granddaughters-in-law, Fenglan, to play cards and win corn kernels. It was just for entertainment!
The whole family seemed to have forgotten about Li Xingguo and his wife. Li Mantun and Liu Cuihua did not ask.
At this time, Li Xingguo was in the house that Wang Yue rented for the Wang family.
Wang Yue took great pains to find a house for his family. Since he couldn't find one in the city, he moved to the suburbs and rented a small, shabby courtyard with two adobe houses. Even so, he still paid three yuan a month for the rent!
Wang Yue really couldn't find a suitable place, and couldn't afford to live in a guesthouse, so he had to rent one.
