Chapter 214 New Year's Luck
Several children knew that there were copper coins in the dumplings and Yuanxiao today. Their mother told them that whoever ate them would be blessed.
They don’t know what blessing can bring, but they all hope that they can be blessed.
The children didn't rush to eat, but they still picked up their chopsticks a little faster than usual.
On normal days, each person would have a bowl of dumplings, but today, since he wanted to use his luck, the dumplings were served in three large plates. There were not many Yuanxiao (Chinese Yuanxiao), just one bowl, with only about ten Yuanxiao in total.
Erhua looked at the copper coin in front of his father with envy. That was the first Yuanxiao that his father had just eaten, and he got a copper coin.
So the children knew that there would be no more copper coins in the Yuanxiao, so they ate dumplings in silence.
However, at this moment, Erhua looked at the fewer and fewer dumplings on the plate and asked doubtfully, "Mom, are there really copper coins in the dumplings? Why haven't I eaten any yet?"
Dahua also looked at the dumplings on the plate, then lowered her head to look at her stomach. What should she do since she was already very full?
Even Daxin sat upright, as if this would allow him to eat more.
Seeing that the children were eating so hard that the food was almost stuck in their throats, Gu Qingqing felt embarrassed by her own carelessness.
The truth was that she had made a lot of dumplings yesterday and left them there. When she was about to cook them today, she found that she couldn't tell which ones were for copper coins. In order to eat them as the first meal this morning, she simply cooked two meals' worth of dumplings.
At this time, Gu Qingqing said firmly, "Of course there is. I wrapped them myself, and there are no broken dumplings today. The copper coin must be in the seven dumplings."
To prove it, Gu Qingqing took one herself, but she didn't see the copper coin when she took a bite. She was a little disappointed, and showed the remaining half dumpling to everyone, "Look, it's not here. Pick one from the rest, and you will definitely be able to tell the difference."
Gu Qingqing said solemnly.
As a result, when all the dumplings on the plate were divided up, no one found a copper coin.
Not only was the child unhappy, even Gu Qingqing couldn't sit still, "No, I'm wrapping copper coins. Wuyan, you saw me wrapping copper coins last night, right?" Gu Qingqing finally realized herself and looked at Wen Wuyan in confusion.
Wen Wuyan nodded firmly.
"I was just checking inside the pot. Could it really have leaked inside?" Gu Qingqing said.
At this moment, Wen Wuyan looked at Dahei who was running past the door, and for some unknown reason he suddenly said, "Qingqing."
Gu Qingqing turned around, looked at Wen Wuyan with a puzzled tone, and said "hmm".
She saw Wen Wuyan raised his hand and pointed outside, "Could it be in the dumplings you just fed Dahei?"
Gu Qingqing looked outside suspiciously and asked uncertainly, "No, right?"
As he spoke, he walked out. Several children followed him as if curious. Even Wen Wuyan couldn't help but follow to see what was going on.
When everyone looked at the broken bowl that Dahei used to eat, especially the shiny copper coin lying at the bottom of the bowl, they had different expressions.
Gu Qingqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's the big deal? It's a good thing today."
When the children saw that it was Dahei who found the copper coin in his meal, they immediately cheered, "Mom, look, the copper coin is in Dahei's bowl. Dahei found it in his meal."
"Mom, what should we do if Dahei eats it? Will this copper coin belong to Dahei?" Dahua asked happily. As she spoke, she reached out to pick up the copper coins in the basin and rubbed them on the ground to wipe off Dahei's saliva.
Dahei has eaten all the food, so why should she ask for a penny back?
Gu Qingqing smiled and waved her hand indifferently, "Return it to it."
Dahua's eyes instantly turned into crescents, and she said happily, "Okay. Mom, can I find a rope to string them together and tie them around Dahei's neck?"
After Gu Qingqing nodded, she caught a glimpse of what Erhua was about to do and hurriedly shouted to her, "Erhua, you can't hold Dahei today. You have to wear your new clothes when you go to grandma's house tomorrow."
Erhua's outstretched arms froze in mid-air, "Mom, I don't think Dahei is dirty at all."
"That's because you don't look dirty. If you get your clothes dirty, we won't take you with us tomorrow. You'll have to stay at home and watch the door by yourself."
Erhua immediately put her arms behind her back and grinned at Gu Qingqing, "Mom, I don't want to hold Dahei anymore."
Dahua then turned to Erhua and said, "Erhua, come with me to find a piece of cloth so we can give the copper coins to Dahei."
"Okay, sister, I'll help you." Erhua said and ran towards Dahua.
Daxin wanted to help Gu Qingqing clean up the dishes, but was rejected. "You can play with them. Your uncle and I are here."
Daxin nodded at Gu Qingqing with bright eyes, and then chased after Dahua who was going back to find strips of cloth, "Dahua, find two strips of cloth of different colors. I can twist them together and then put them on Dahei. Not only will they be strong, but they will also look good."
"Okay, Daxin."
Dahei didn't know what happened, he just saw a few little masters looking at his food bowl, very happy. They were happy, and he also happily wagged his tail and chased after them.
In the kitchen, Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing were chatting idly. At the same time, Wen Wuyan wiped the water from the bottom of the dishes she had washed with a clean towel, then turned around and put them in the cupboard.
Not sure what they were talking about, Wen Wuyan suddenly asked with a smile, "Qingqing, do you really plan to use broth to make rice for Dahei every day from now on?"
Gu Qingqing paused what she was doing, turned her head and noticed that Wen Wuyan was teasing her. At this moment, she blinked her eyes and said "ah" with an expression that said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Then she started to play dumb. "Meat soup? What meat soup? What are you talking about? Is this true? How come I don't know? I didn't say that. I didn't say anything like that."
Hahaha, Wen Wuyan was amused by Qingqing's appearance. He shook his head helplessly and said, "One dumpling and one Yuanxiao, whether you can eat out a copper coin depends on your luck. If you can eat out a copper coin, I will let you eat meat and rice for the next half month. Qingqing, do you think this sentence is familiar?"
Gu Qingqing stared with round eyes and shook her head frantically, "I don't know, I don't understand, I'm not familiar with it."
Gu Qingqing showed her ignorance of everything vividly, with the main theme being "I never said such a thing."
Wen Wuyan smiled awkwardly. Qingqing said she didn't know. What could he do?
I could only look at her lovingly, letting her deny it, while also following her words, "I also feel that this statement is unfamiliar."
Gu Qingqing was not happy with this and started to bully him, "Mr. Wen, you are about to take the Tongsheng exam, how can you not be determined?"
Wen Wuyan was stunned by what she said. He stared at Qingqing blankly. Suddenly he felt like he had no way to defend himself. What was going on?
