The little guy immediately took Gu Licheng's dumplings happily, and looked very loyal: "Then I will help grandpa eat one."
Gu Licheng smiled and thanked the little guy. The little guy held the dumplings with his children's auxiliary chopsticks. He was still very nervous, fearing that there were no coins in the dumplings.
He looked at the dumpling and muttered in a low voice: "God of Wealth, you must bless me to eat a coin."
Although the little guy's grunting was quiet, Gu Nian was nearby and still heard it.
She looked at the little guy, his forehead covered with black lines.
Since when did this little guy become so obsessed with money? He even learned to worship the God of Wealth.
The little guy was very nervous and took small bites. Finally, when he took the second bite, he suddenly saw the coins hidden in the dumpling filling, with only a small silver edge showing.
The little guy screamed in surprise, and immediately opened the dumpling stuffing to reveal all the coins.
"Coins, they are coins! Grandpa, this one you can't eat has coins in it!" the little guy said to Gu Licheng excitedly.
Gu Licheng smiled and nodded: "Little Millet Cake was kind enough to help grandpa, but he ended up eating the coins. This is a good intention that pays off."
The little guy did not doubt that he was there, and nodded vigorously. He felt that what his grandpa said was right, and good intentions were rewarded.
He helped his grandpa eat the dumplings that he couldn't eat. Didn't he just get coins?
The little guy didn't take the coins out of the dumpling stuffing immediately. Instead, he pretended not to know and took small bites of the dumplings, experiencing the feeling of having his teeth nicked by coins when eating dumplings.
This feeling was so novel and indescribably interesting, so he picked out the coin.
Mu Lanshu took all the coins she had eaten, cleaned them, scalded them with boiling water, and left one for the little guy. She said, "Here, this is what you ate. You keep it. There will be them every year this year."
The little guy happily took it and suddenly ran away. After a while, he brought a coin purse.
This was Mu Lanshu's birthday gift to the little guy. It was not very expensive and suitable for children.
Gu Nian didn't like to develop the little guy's extravagant habits since he was a child. Even though he comes from such a high starting point, these were unavoidable.
The little guy also became a money addict for some reason. He liked this small coin purse so much that he carried it with him every day.
Carrying his little monster schoolbag, there must be a small coin purse inside.
The coin purse was not big, but the little guy's hands were also small, so it seemed a bit big in his small fleshy hands.
He carefully put the dime in the pocket of his coin purse and said, "This is my lucky coin this year."
The little guy looks very serious, and no one has debunked this superstitious theory.
When the little one was full, he became sleepy.
He thought about it but did not allow him to sleep immediately.
He just finished a meal of dumplings.
Although she has always felt that such a custom was actually very harmful to the body, as it required staying up late and accumulating food.
At least she let the little guy move around for a while to digest some of the dumplings in his stomach before letting him go to sleep.
Chu Zhaoyang hasn't cut off the video yet. Gu Nian saw that he had finished eating the dumplings and was now in the bedroom, leaning comfortably on the bedside.
She didn't know when he changed into pajamas.
She was so focused on watching the little guy just now that she forgot about the video chat with Chu Zhaoyang.
Looking at the screen now, the man pursed his lips and looked unhappy.
Gu Nian quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was busy coaxing Little Millet Cake to sleep just now."
Chu Zhaoyang pursed his lips and remained silent.
Gu Nian said, why is this man so angry now?
He was jealous of his son, just like a child.
But even if he put on his pajamas and looked comfortable, he still looked mature and steady.
Who would have known that he might have a bad temper?
Gu Nian coaxed him for a while, and finally said that she missed him, which made Chu Zhaoyang's expression turn from gloomy to clear.
Because she had to watch the New Year's Eve, she stayed late with her elders. She didn't go back to the hotel because she cared about them, and slept together at her elders' house.
There were a lot of people, and Gu Nian was worried that chatting with Chu Zhaoyang would disturb other people's rest, so she whispered good night to Chu Zhaoyang.
***
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the little guy was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.
To celebrate the New Year today, there were firecrackers at home, and many children were playing in the yard with some small firecrackers, such as flying monkeys.
The little guy couldn't sleep. He ate so much in the past two days during the Chinese New Year that his belly was full and he had no appetite.
He barely managed to eat two mouthfuls in the morning, but he couldn't eat anymore.
Gu Nian didn't force him. The little guy was worried about the sound of firecrackers outside, so he shouted to go out and play.
Mu Lanshu found a throwing cannon for the little guy. This thing was not dangerous and was about the size of a fingertip.
With such little strength, the little guy can throw it hard on the ground and it will make a "pop" sound.
Set off firecrackers just to listen to the sound, which could satisfy the little one without getting hurt.
At this time, the fat boy from the neighbor came over.
After entering the door, he sweetly asked the elders one by one how they were doing.
Little Fatty was five and a half years old and has not yet gone to school. Because he has been fat since he was a child and was very honest, he was always bullied by the children in the courtyard.
They all thought he was fat and couldn't run.
They didn't like to play with him or talk to him. They always laughed at him when they saw him.
Even not allowing his companions to play with him, he always said he was fat and ugly, and made fun of him when he saw him.
It was useless for the parents to go to the other parent. After they did, the children laughed even harder when they saw him, saying that he knew how to complain if he didn't have the ability.
The little fatty was an honest child. He went home crying when he was ostracized, but he didn't talk back, let alone start a fight.
Finally, the little guy came, and he didn't dislike him and became good friends with him. Little Fatty was very happy.
