553: Meeting Ono is the greatest luck
Because Xu Ying said there was a coin stuffed in the dumplings, and good things would happen to whoever ate the coin, everyone stuffed the dumplings into their mouths with all their might, fearing that if they were a step late, the coin would end up in someone else's mouth.
Even Yu Xiaoye, who usually chews slowly, swallows the food in big mouthfuls, keeping his teeth ready at all times, just in case he can bite a coin in one bite.
For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of people swallowing dumplings. No one had time to talk, and no one paid attention to the braised bighead carp, pork stewed with vermicelli, and pork head with green onions on the table.
No one has time to drink.
Yu Jiahui finished his bowl of dumplings and looked around. Seeing that no one had eaten the coin, he couldn't help but feel suspicious:
"Did you put the coin in?"
"I'll let you go, I promise."
"Then why haven't you eaten it yet?" Yu Erye asked with food in his mouth.
"There's still half a basin left. Who knows, maybe it's in that half basin of dumplings?"
So everyone continued to eat dumplings.
After finishing the dumplings in the bowl, he rushed to grab dumplings from the basin.
Seeing that everyone else was rushing to grab the dumplings, while he still had half a bowl left, Yu Xiaoye said anxiously:
"Don't eat so fast, can't you wait for me?"
Yu Daye said:
"Eat based on your ability, who will wait for you?"
While taking dumplings from the basin, Yu Jiahui whispered to Xu Ying beside him:
"Did you make any marks?"
Xu Ying deliberately raised her voice and said:
"No, there are no marks. I don't know whether the dumplings are in the bowl or the basin. Who gets to eat them depends entirely on luck."
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered up and continued to work hard.
Yu Xiaoye was anxious, so he simply bit off half of the dumpling. When he was sure there was no coin in the dumpling, he quickly bit off the next one.
Yu Daye complained:
"Mom, look at her, she's just biting and not eating!"
"I don't have any, I'll eat in a minute!"
Xu Ying glared at Yu Daye:
"You're the only one who talks too much. Eat your own food and don't bother others!"
“…”
Yu Xiaoye finished half of the dumplings in her bowl and found that there were no coins. She really couldn't eat the remaining half of the dumplings, so she had to silently put the dumplings in her second brother's bowl:
"Brother, eat more. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work as a blacksmith."
Yu Erye had no objection. He was so kind that he took the half-bitten dumpling from his little sister and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that the whole pot of dumplings was almost finished, but the coin was still nowhere to be seen, even Xu Ying began to wonder.
The coin was clearly placed in the dumpling, so why didn’t anyone eat it?
Could it be that the dumpling with the coin in it fell into the stove?
Just when Xu Ying was suspicious, Zhou Ziheng suddenly stopped.
Yu Xiaoye, who was standing next to him, was very sensitive to Zhou Ziheng's abnormality and immediately stared at him, not daring to speak, as if he was afraid that the coin would be scared away if he spoke.
Zhou Ziheng moved his mouth, and then slowly spat out a nickel from between his lips.
There was a silent exclamation in the room.
Everyone looked at Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng spat out the nickel, held it in his hand, and showed the coin to everyone as if showing off his trophy.
"Ah! You are so lucky, Director!"
Yu Xiaoye was the first to exclaim.
Then Xu Ying laughed heartily:
"I told you there was a coin. How could I lie? Look, it's out now."
Yu Erye and Cuihua were also very happy. Although they did not get the coin, the director did, and they were happy for him.
Only Yu Daye, watching his own coins being eaten by outsiders, gritted his teeth secretly:
My luck is still a little bit bad!
How could a coin that represents good luck be eaten by an outsider?!
What kind of luck does this guy surnamed Zhou have?
"Xiao Zhou, since you ate the coin, it means you will have good luck in the coming year."
Zhou Ziheng smiled, turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoye beside him, and suddenly said emotionally:
"Meeting Ono is my greatest luck."
Yu Xiaoye felt as happy as if he had eaten honey when he heard this. In front of everyone, he leaned towards Zhou Ziheng and smiled sweetly at him.
The two people's intimate behavior without paying attention to others made Yu Daye shiver and get goose bumps.
Yu Erye and Cuihua were not surprised by such scenes and could only watch with envy.
Yu Erye was even madly envious of the director's mouth. He was really good at talking. Why couldn't he think of such nice words?
Only Yu Jiahui was still holding his rice bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, watching his own cabbage being forced into the pig's mouth. His mood was as chilly as the weather in the twelfth lunar month:
Anyone can eat this coin, why did it have to be eaten by this bastard?
Yu Jiahui glanced at Xu Ying beside him with a depressed look, blaming the old woman for being too talkative and saying that good things were going to happen.
Just wait and see, nothing good is going to happen!
The coin representing good luck was finally eaten out, and the others realized that their stomachs were almost full from the dumplings.
Everyone put down their bowls of dumplings and started drinking and eating.
After finishing the food and drinks, it was only eight o'clock.
At this time, you can hear some people setting off firecrackers outside.
This year, the Yu family also bought a string of 2,000 firecrackers and a set of double-kick firecrackers.
So the whole family rushed to the door to set off firecrackers.
Yu Daye struck a match and lit the firecrackers. The crackling confetti filled the sky and his nostrils were filled with the pleasant smell of sulfur.
Everyone waited until the smell of firecrackers gradually dissipated before returning to the house.
Late at night, the people of the Yu family prepared to wash up and go to bed.
Seeing that Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying were not there, Zhou Ziheng quietly pulled Yu Xiaoye to
In the innermost room, Yu Xiaoye’s bedroom.
This was the first time in these days that Zhou Ziheng dared to come to Yu Xiaoye's bedroom at night.
Yu Xiaoye excitedly said to Zhou Ziheng:
"Happy New Year, Director!"
"I'm happy to have you here."
After saying that, Zhou Ziheng quickly took out a red paper bag from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Is it a red envelope?"
Zhou Ziheng smiled and nodded, then whispered in Yu Xiaoye's ear:
"It's a red envelope. Inside is your New Year's money."
Yu Xiaoye chuckled:
"Thank you, Director!"
Yu Xiaoye happily accepted the red envelope.
Receiving red envelopes is the happiest thing!
I didn’t expect that I could receive a red envelope.
In the past, they received a lot of red envelopes every year during the Chinese New Year. This year, the old couple had thought about giving red envelopes to their children at home. However, there were too many children in the family, and they could not favor one over the other and only give red envelopes to one person, so they had to give red envelopes to all three.
After giving red envelopes to their own children, Zhou Ziheng and Cuihua can't just stand by and watch, they have to give the same amount, right?
When you think about it this way, giving red envelopes to five children is quite a burden.
The old couple looked at their salary and savings and decided to give up.
After giving out the red envelopes, the old couple can basically be declared bankrupt.
So I just don’t send it to anyone.
We are all adults now, so it doesn’t matter if we don’t send it.
Yu Xiaoye thought she would not receive any red envelopes this year, but Zhou Ziheng gave her a surprise.
