Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 823 Eating Dumplings

"Wow! Sister, you are so lucky, right? The first dumpling you eat gets a coin! You will be very lucky next year!"

When Lan Ling'er saw that Lan Qiao'er had a one-dollar coin in her hand, she couldn't help but shouted with envy.

At the same time, everyone else looked at the one dollar coin with envy, wondering in their hearts why they were not so lucky?

You know, according to the rules passed down in the past, if anyone can eat dumplings with coins on New Year's Eve, it means that this person is very lucky, and it also means that he will be rich in wealth and all the best in the coming year.

Although in most cases, it is not that mysterious at all, it is just a matter of winning a lottery and enjoying the fun.

However, the feeling of being able to stand out among the crowd is still very desirable.

When Lan Qiaoer heard Lan Linger's words and felt the envious eyes of everyone, she felt very happy instantly and couldn't help but smile.

What she cares more about than her luck is that it means that God recognizes her status as the eldest lady.

Otherwise, why didn't Lan Ling'er eat it first, nor did anyone else, but she was the first one to eat it!
"Okay! Don't look at Qiao'er like that. I've included a total of more than ten coins in this dumpling. Each of you will have a chance to eat it. It depends on who of you eats faster and eats more. Got it!"

At this time, Lin Tieniu came over with a plate of dumplings just out of the pot, with a smile on his face that was not too big a deal to watch the excitement.

After hearing what he said, everyone's eyes immediately lit up, and then they all picked up their chopsticks and continued to stuff their mouths with dumplings. After a while, their mouths were full.

When Lan Qiaoer saw everyone like this, she couldn't help but feel funny.

Then, she calmly put away the coins in her hand, then picked up the chopsticks and continued eating dumplings.

Just eating like this, after a while, no one in the crowd could eat the dumplings with coins.

Just when they were wondering if Lin Tieniu was teasing them on purpose, suddenly, a "Huh?" came from their ears.

They were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound. Suddenly they saw Lan Qiaoer's increasingly dignified and beautiful face, and her pink and delicate red lips, and they felt a sense of surprise in their hearts.

No way?
Why did she get it again?

The next moment, Lan Qiaoer faced everyone's slightly unhappy gazes and spit out a one-dollar coin in her mouth with some embarrassment.

Seeing the coin in Lan Qiaoer's hand, everyone immediately became excited, and then they continued to eat without saying anything, as if they must eat a dumpling with a coin.

Lan Qiaoer suddenly felt even more embarrassed when she saw everyone's reactions.

So she put down her chopsticks and wanted to wait until everyone else had eaten the dumplings with coins before eating.

It didn't take long for Lan Ling'er to notice something strange about Lan Qiao'er, and then she couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Hey, sister, why don't you eat?"

"I'll eat it later!"

Lan Qiaoer was stunned for a moment, then replied awkwardly.

"Why? When the dumplings are cold, you'd better eat them quickly!"

Lan Ling'er raised her eyebrows, and then spoke with some confusion.

"Hey, Qiao'er, it's not fun for you to do this!"

At this time, Lou Xiao'e heard the conversation between Lan Qiaoer and Lan Linger, and then spoke with dissatisfaction.

"That's right! Since everyone eats the coins based on their luck, and if you don't eat it, Qiao'er, doesn't that mean you gave us this blessing?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu reacted immediately, and then spoke angrily.

Because she spoke loudly, she quickly attracted everyone's attention.

When everyone saw Lan Qiaoer stop using her chopsticks, they all understood what Qin Huairu meant, and then they stopped immediately.

Among them, Qin Jingru had the biggest reaction. She slapped her chopsticks on the table and said angrily: "Qiao'er, do you look down on us?"

"No, I didn't. How could I look down on you?"

Lan Qiaoer's eyes widened, then she hurriedly waved her hands and explained.

"Then why don't you eat the dumplings? Are you worried that you will eat all the coins? How is this possible!"

Qin Jingru curled her lips, and then spoke unhappily.

"I"

When Lan Qiaoer heard this, she was instantly speechless.

Yup!

Brother Tieniu, didn't he say that there were a total of more than ten coins in this dumpling?
Even if she is lucky, she can't possibly eat all the coins in her mouth, right?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly apologized and said, "Sisters and sisters, I admit that I did something wrong. There are a lot of you adults, so don't take it to heart!"

"Okay, Qiao'er, you don't need to apologize to us, that's all we said, we don't mean anything else."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she hurriedly waved her hands and spoke to smooth things over.

At this time, everyone else also reacted and said it didn't matter. It was like a scene of deep sisterly love.

In fact, the main reason why Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu and others opened their mouths to question and complain was because of some imbalance in their hearts.

Everyone is also a woman, so Lan Qiaoer is just one step ahead in terms of status, but now Lan Qiaoer is even ahead on things like eating dumplings and coins, which is a matter of luck.

Why?

Moreover, if it was just because of poor luck, Lan Qiaoer actually let them eat first. Wasn't this looking down on them?
According to this situation, even if they all ate dumplings wrapped with coins, it would not prove that they were as lucky as Lan Qiaoer.

Therefore, they have bad opinions towards Lan Qiaoer.

However, this opinion was easily eliminated with the dispute just now and Lan Qiaoer's apology.

Soon, they picked up their chopsticks and continued eating dumplings.

This time, they did not wolf down the food like before. Instead, they ate slowly while talking, and the main thing was just casual.

While eating, Lan Ling'er suddenly froze for a moment, then quickly spit out a one-yuan coin from her mouth, with an excited smile on her face.

"I ate it. Look, I finally ate it!"

As Lan Ling'er showed the coins in her hand to everyone with a proud look on her face, everyone couldn't help but look depressed.

Is it possible that they really don't have that blessing?

Just when they were wondering if it was their own problem, Lan Qiaoer suddenly stopped chewing, and then silently spit out a one-yuan coin from her mouth.

Seeing this scene, everyone's mentality couldn't help but collapse.

"Ah? Why can you two eat the coins, but we don't even see the shadow of the coins?" Qin Jingru yelled, and then stared at Lan Qiaoer and Lan Ling'er with an annoyed look on their faces, as if they were They are suspected of cheating.

Lan Qiaoer and Lan Ling'er also couldn't figure out why these dumplings with coins were only eaten by their two sisters?

Could it be that these coins also have eyes, so they know who is the mistress of the house?

The next moment, before they could figure out the reason, the others silently speeded up and stuffed dumplings into their mouths one after another.

They really don't believe it. After eating so many dumplings, they won't get a single coin in the end?

When Lan Qiaoer and Lan Linger saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then they slowed down their dumpling eating in a tacit understanding, trying to give others the chance to eat the coins.

However, they did not expect that until Lin Tieniu brought out two more large plates of freshly cooked dumplings, no third person would be able to eat the dumplings wrapped with coins.

"No, I can't eat anymore!"

At this time, Lou Xiao'e also put down her chopsticks, then reached out and rubbed her belly and said.

Her movements seemed to turn on some kind of switch. Soon, others put down their chopsticks one after another, leaving Jiang Xue alone eating silently.

Just when they were about to complain about whether Lin Tieniu had lied to them, Jiang Xue suddenly stopped chewing, and then spit out a one-yuan coin from his mouth with a look of surprise on his face.

Seeing this situation, others were stunned for a moment.

However, Lan Qiaoer and Lan Ling'er couldn't hold it back for a moment and burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing the laughter of the two of them, everyone except Jiang Xue couldn't help but look at each other silently, and then saw from the other's eyes that they seemed to be a fool.

God!

It’s just a little bit different!

Why can't we eat a few more?
If she eats a few more, then she may not be the one who gets the coins at this time.

"What's wrong? Why are you all looking so droopy? Don't you like the dumplings I made?"

Lin Tieniu felt happy when he saw this, and then he pretended not to know and joked.

"Come on, I think you did it on purpose. I dare say those dumplings you cooked earlier definitely didn't contain that many coins."

Hearing this, Qin Jingru rolled her eyes, and then spoke angrily.

"Hey, you have wronged me. I can pat my chest and assure you that there are indeed twelve one-yuan coins in those dumplings cooked earlier. You can't eat them yourself, so you can't blame me in turn, right? "

Lin Tieniu raised his brows, and then said in an annoyed manner.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stared at the remaining twenty or thirty dumplings, and then they unanimously reached out and picked up their chopsticks, scrambling to grab those dumplings.

After a while, the remaining dumplings on the plate were snatched up by them.

Afterwards, they carefully chewed the dumplings in their mouths while paying attention to other people's reactions.

Soon after, Qin Jingru was the first to eat the dumplings wrapped with coins, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Then, before she could spit the coins into her hand, He Yuyu, Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li, Yu Fengxiang, Jiang Xue, Lan Qiaoer, and Lan Ling'er also ate dumplings filled with coins one after another.

Only Qin Huairu ate all the dumplings she grabbed without even getting a single coin, which immediately made her very angry.

She reached out and slapped the chopsticks on the table, and then complained with an aggrieved look: "This is not fair, you all got the coins, but I was the only one who didn't get the coins!"

"Haha! Cousin, you should be more open-minded! Who told us that there are so many sisters here, but you are the only one who doesn't plan to give birth to Brother Tieniu's child!"

When Qin Jingru heard this, she immediately joked with a condescending look on her face.

After hearing her words, everyone was slightly stunned, and then they couldn't help but grin.

"I"

Qin Huairu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw Banggan and Xiaodang who were already a little sleepy, she silently closed her mouth again.

"Okay, it's Chinese New Year, so don't make random jokes! Let's all continue eating dumplings!"

Lin Tieniu felt a little happy when he saw this, and then hurriedly said something to persuade him.

"Yes! No matter what, we will be good sisters for life, and there will be a long time to come! We! We must be more considerate of each other!"

When Lan Qiaoer heard Lin Tieniu's words, her mind moved, and then she hurriedly gave instructions with a serious look on her face.

As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on Qin Jingru's face froze, and then she looked at Qin Huairu awkwardly, as if she wanted to say something.

But Qin Huairu immediately waved her hand, smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just that I can't do the same as you. I can't blame others, as long as you don't dislike me!"

Hearing her say this, the others suddenly felt even more embarrassed.

Qin Jingru, in particular, hurriedly took Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Cousin, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that to you!"

After saying that, she gritted her teeth, put the coins she had eaten into Qin Huairu's hand, and then continued: "In this way, I will give you my coins, so that you can be blessed in the coming year."

"Ha! What do you mean by this? The coins you eat are yours, so there's no point in giving them to others? You'd better keep them yourself!"

Qin Huairu chuckled lightly, and then said happily.

In fact, she has looked away now and will no longer be unhappy because she didn't eat the dumplings with coins.

After all, no matter what, she would never give birth to Lin Tieniu's child.

Moreover, she does not believe that a mere coin can determine her future fate.

"That's all right!"

When Qin Jingru heard what Qin Huairu said, she couldn't help but feel relieved, and then hurriedly took the coin back.

Just now, she was impulsive and did the thing of giving coins, and she already regretted it.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu didn't accept it in the end, otherwise, she might have been unable to sleep all night.

When Lin Tieniu saw that the matter was resolved, he didn't say much. He silently turned around and went into the kitchen, continuing to cook vegetarian dumplings for everyone, preparing for them to take some home and wait for them to wake up on the morning of the first day of the new year. Eat again.

At the same time, under the conscious guidance of Lan Qiaoer, Lou Xiaoe and others, the atmosphere in the living room quickly became harmonious again.
