Chapter 227: Chapter 227: A Good Omen
Although she quickly got the three special dumplings, Yuan Bao wasn’t happy at all. What she wanted to eat was authentic meat dumplings, not these symbolic but impractical special ones.
However, seeing her grandparents and little uncle so joyful, she had no choice but to obediently eat the three special dumplings.
After Yuan Bao finished eating, the remaining dumplings on the table were quickly devoured, and all the special ones with symbolic meanings were eaten.
After all, every dumpling was eaten!
As a result, everyone ended up eating a special dumpling with different fillings.
"What a game!"
Looking at the empty dishes on the table, Yuan Bao lost all interest in these so-called good omens.
The way they were eating, unless someone was particularly unlucky, everyone would end up with a special dumpling.
In fact, despite its simplicity, some people just couldn’t play the game right.
For example, Mrs. Xiao Li!
Due to the family split, the Yuan Family made their dumplings separately on New Year’s Day.
Mrs. Xiao Li, thinking differently, made too many dumplings. As a result, neither she nor Yuan Zhaodi got a single special one, even though Yuan Zhaodi stuffed herself, she didn’t get any.
As for Yuan Shouhu, he only ate one, so naturally, he didn’t get any special one.
Yuan Bao didn’t believe in this New Year’s good luck, but she couldn’t do anything about others believing it.
Mrs. Xiao Li ate so much she was about to puke but still didn’t get a special one, which left her quite upset.
In the end, Yuan Zhaodi said nothing and put down her chopsticks with a heavy heart.
The little kids had gone out early to give New Year’s greetings, and the adults also needed to do the same. They had already delayed quite a bit at home, so they needed to head out soon.
The two left one after another to go to the main hall to wish Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng a happy New Year.
When they entered the main room, they overheard Yuan Pandi, Yuan Wangdi, Yuan Laidi, and Yuan Yindi talking about how many special dumplings they ate in the morning.
The four brothers all had good omens.
Yuan Pandi was the first to bite into the Copper Coin, and Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi got them in their first bowls.
Yuan Yindi didn’t talk about himself, just mentioned Yuan Bao.
"You don’t know, Jiaojiao’s luck is incredible!"
"She randomly picked three dumplings from the dish, each a different one!"
"Brother, you should have seen the look in our parents’ eyes, they were stunned!"
"Xiao Wu, what are you saying? Do you want a scolding on New Year’s Day to feel like it’s the holiday?"
When his youngest son revealed his shortcoming, Old Yuan playfully threw a melon seed at him.
Yuan Yindi immediately gave in, saying, "Hehe, actually, I was stunned too!"
"With the luck our Jiaojiao has, this year we’re bound to have great fortune."
...
Everyone was overjoyed.
Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li entered with this cheerful atmosphere, first bowing to Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng to wish them a happy New Year, then doing the same for the three brothers and their wives.
Yuan Yindi, in turn, promptly wished Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li a happy New Year.
Of course, the conversation about the morning dumplings ended with the arrival of Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li.
Next, Yuan Pandi took the four brothers to the village to give New Year’s greetings.
Although newly arrived, both Old Yuan and Yuan Pandi were remarkable at building neighborly relations.
