Chapter 203: She Enjoyed This Blessing First
After the fireworks were over, most of the neighbors who came to watch the show went home, and only a few stayed at Zhou's house to chat for a while.
By almost ten o'clock, everyone who needed to leave had left.
But no one in the family slept, even Zhou Dabao, who forced himself to stay awake to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new with the adults. Of course, more importantly, as the youngest in the family, he could get a red envelope.
Especially when the aunt told him, "Dabao, don't sleep. If you fall asleep later, you won't get the red envelope."
Therefore, in order to get the red envelope smoothly, Zhou Dabao forced himself not to fall asleep, for fear that if he really fell asleep, he would not be able to get the red envelope.
In this country where there are no mobile phones, no Internet, and even no television or radio at home, we can’t even watch or listen to the Spring Festival Gala.
In order to pass the two hours faster, Rong Mei suggested playing poker.
It only takes three people to play Landlord, but it is obviously not suitable for so many people at home. So we can only play with more people so that everyone can participate.
How about playing poker? Three cards is easy.
Unfortunately, except Rong Mei's parents and Zhou Nanxu, everyone else said that they had never played it.
Finally, after some discussion, the project was determined - Red Cross
And the staffing was just right.
There are four people playing, namely Rong Mei, Natalia, Uncle Li, and Zhou Zhengfu.
Except Zhou Zhengfu who is good at playing, the other three are players who reported to the Novice Village. Therefore, each of them has three military advisors, Rong Mei corresponds to Zhou Nanxu, Natalia corresponds to Rong Sheng, and Uncle Li corresponds to Liu Rong.
Everyone was traveling with two people, except Zhou Zhengfu, who was alone. Unwilling to accept the defeat, he hugged Zhou Dabao, who was already drowsy, and said, "Son, don't fall asleep yet. Come and cheer up your father. When we go to battle together, we will definitely kill them all without a single piece of armor left."
When Zhou Dabao heard that there was going to be a "fight", he immediately perked up and cheered for his father.
Unfortunately, it was not known whether it was because Zhou Dabao’s encouragement was not strong enough or Zhou Zhengfu’s luck was too bad tonight, but he and Uncle Li were the only ones with a “bad fate”, and Rong Mei and her daughter were so angry that they went crazy.
"How about it be your turn?" Uncle Li looked at the bad deck of cards in his hand and handed it to Liu Rong behind him.
Liu Rong was also a little tired of directing. She didn't know whether she should doubt Uncle Li's luck or her own direction. She felt it necessary to give it a try herself.
So, he took the cards from Uncle Li's hand and sat down.
As soon as Liu Rong sat down, the atmosphere at the card table became lively again.
"Look what this is!!!"
"Take it back for me. Did I let you go?! With Double Ten in hand, the world is mine!!!"
At this moment, several people on the field have become "unfair" and don't care about their relatives. They throw as many cards as they can, wishing to crush the opponent to death, and their momentum is also one-on-one.
There’s a saying that goes, even if you lose the cards, you can’t lose your momentum.
The room was filled with laughter and joy, and everyone completely forgot about time.
Liu Rong glanced at the clock on the wall and stood up in a hurry. "Oh, it's already 11:45. There are only 15 minutes to 12 o'clock. It's no good. It's too late. The dumplings are not cooked yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Li's voice came from the kitchen.
"You guys are not going to fight anymore after this one. The dumplings are ready. Let's get ready to eat them."
It turned out that after Liu Rong took the cards, Uncle Li only stood by for a while, then while no one was paying attention, he sneaked into the kitchen to boil water and cook dumplings.
"Okay, Uncle Li." Rong Mei responded and looked at Liu Rong with a smile.
Liu Rong pretended not to see anything and continued to play the cards in her hand.
After the last round was over and everyone put away their cards, Zhou Zhengfu woke up Zhou Dabao in his arms, and the hot dumplings were soon served on the table.
Liu Rong distributed bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Everyone, eat as much as you can. Let's see who has the best luck today and eats the most coins."
The dumplings were filled with celery. Everyone worked together to make them in the afternoon. Some of the fillings even had coins stuffed in them, but it depended on who had better luck getting the coin.
Of course, the more you eat, the greater the chance of winning.
There were two large plates, and everyone was rushing to use their chopsticks to get into the plates. Even Zhou Dabao, who was no longer sleepy at this moment, joined in the scramble, with his cheeks bulging. However, since he didn't get the coin, he kept pushing his chopsticks into the plates.
Just when everyone was rushing to eat, Rong Mei's frequency of using chopsticks was out of tune.
The speed of eating dumplings is also extremely slow.
However, while eating, his eyes were fixed on the dumplings in the plate, and he would only pick up the dumplings and put them into his bowl after he had spotted the target.
"Aunt, why are the dumplings you eat so ugly?" Zhou Dabao, who was half-kneeling on a stool next to her, looked at the dumplings in her aunt's bowl that were so ugly that they didn't even look like dumplings, and showed an expression of "disgust".
When he saw such dumplings, he would deliberately avoid picking them up.
Rong Mei smiled at Zhou Dabao with her eyes curved, "Ugliness doesn't affect the eating, because I'm the adult, and you're the child, so you should give the beautiful dumplings to the child."
This reason sounds very plausible, but in reality, only Rong Mei knows it best.
Just because she also participated in making dumplings this time. As for the dumplings she made, it was obviously not of the same level as those made by Liu Rong and others. They were so ugly that you could tell the difference at a glance. Rather than dumplings, they looked more like a bunch of buns?
You know, Chen Chunlan once said that whoever eats the dumplings made by her is a blessed person.
So, she enjoyed this blessing herself.
Poor Zhou Dabao didn't know that he had been tricked by his aunt. He looked at her shyly, "Aunt is so nice to Dabao~"
In the end, both plates of dumplings were eaten up.
Zhou Nanxu and Uncle Li each ate three coins, Liu Rong ate two, Rongsheng and Natalia also ate two. Zhou Dabao ate the least. The little guy ate one, but since he was small, he ate less, so it was good luck for him to eat a little guy.
Zhou Zhengfu ate a lot, five. However, he was still far behind Rong Mei. Rong Mei was always successful. She ate ten and got ten right. Zhou Zhengfu ate dozens of them and only got five right.
"Wow, you are so awesome, little aunt!" Zhou Dabao's eyes were full of stars, and his heart and eyes were full of admiration for Rong Mei.
"Yes, your aunt is really amazing." Liu Rong knew it clearly, but she still followed her grandson in praising her.
As for the others, they all turned their heads away as if they didn't know...
Next comes the red envelope distribution session that Zhou Dabao is most looking forward to.
As the youngest in the family, of course he took everyone's red envelopes. The little guy was also very satisfied and could finally sleep peacefully.
