Chapter 729: I Have to Finish the Dumplings I Served Myself Even if I Die!
"Forget it, forget it. I'll let you go this time. I'll lie down and rest for a while. You wait until I fall asleep before leaving, okay?"
Yuanxiao nodded quickly. Of course, this is fine.
Bai Xin lay on the couch in the small round hall with her clothes on, and she really fell asleep with her eyes closed. At first, she lay on her back, then turned over and faced Yuanxiao sideways, with her eyes closed. Under the illumination of the night pearl, it was quiet and moving.
Yuanxiao sat on the stone bench opposite, watching quietly, without moving. About half an hour later, Yuanxiao saw that Sister Bai was breathing evenly, so he gently got up and prepared to go back. Seeing a thin blanket next to the couch, he gently picked it up and put it on Bai Xin, and then left gently.
As soon as Yuanxiao left, Bai Xin opened her eyes and showed a sly smile.
The next morning, it was really dumplings. In folk tradition, dumplings are homophonic to Jiaozi, and there has always been a saying that menopause is Jiaozi, which means the alternation of the old and the new. At the same time, the shape of dumplings is a bit like gold ingots, which means wealth and fortune in the new year.
My parents reminded me early in the morning that one of the dumplings for today's meal should be wrapped with a clean copper coin in advance to see who is lucky enough to eat it, and whoever eats it will make a fortune.
When Brother Zhaiyue heard this, he immediately became excited and said that he must eat the copper coin into his mouth. Yuanxiao didn't indulge him and said it was impossible, so the two brothers started betting.
Brother Zhaiyue cheated. In order to increase the probability of eating the copper coin dumpling, he actually used a small bowl to hold dumplings and put three or four bowls of dumplings in it at once.
Yuanxiao was so angry that he laughed: "Brother, you are really amazing. You can think of this trick! Let me say it in advance. No matter how many dumplings you put in, you have to eat them all later, and you are not allowed to waste them!"
"You don't need to say this. For this copper coin dumpling and to make a fortune, I will fight today!" The brother made a bold statement.
Yuanxiao ignored him, leisurely filled a bowl of dumplings, and then slowly began to taste. Brother Zhaiyue, however, was like a pig snatching food, putting his head close to the basin and eating fiercely. The scene was really unbearable to watch.
As a result, the brother finished a bowl of dumplings, rolled his eyes, and did not see the copper coin. Still unconvinced, he ran to the kitchen, replaced the basin with a bowl, filled another bowl of dumplings, and then brought it back to force himself.
"Oh, the God of Wealth really came to see me!" Yuanxiao suddenly bit into a hard object, picked it up with chopsticks, and saw that it was indeed a copper coin.
Brother Zhaiyue was stunned, holding a mouthful of dumplings in his mouth, unable to speak for a long time, and then took a lot of effort to eat it into his stomach. Since the copper coin had been found, the brother suddenly felt that his stomach was about to explode, and he could not eat the remaining half bowl of dumplings.
"Brother, help me share some of the food. I can't finish this half bowl."
"I have made a vow, I have to fulfill it even if I kneel down; I have to finish the dumplings I have served myself!" Yuanxiao flatly refused.
"Then why did you help eat when Bai Xin distributed food to you yesterday?" The elder brother questioned.
"You are not as pretty as her!" Yuanxiao shot an arrow through his heart, showing no mercy to Brother Zhaiyue.
He immediately made the elder brother speechless, so he had to risk his life and finish the dumplings. Seeing the old and the young bickering, Yuanxiao's parents were also very happy and laughed several times.
Not long after, Xiaoying and the little fat man came to pay New Year's greetings. The little fat man said a lot of auspicious words, and Xiaoying was well-behaved and cute, which made Yuanxiao's parents very happy. They took out all kinds of nuts and snacks, let several people eat together, and helped them put them in their pockets.
Yuanxiao's parents keenly noticed that Xiaoying and Xiaopangzi had changed, without any flaws on their faces and hands, and guessed that Yuanxiao might have helped them cleanse their marrow with Yijing.
Especially Xiaoying, who was originally a typical beautiful girl from a small family, with a charming and lovely figure and a well-behaved person. Now her skin is white and rosy, and she is in high spirits, which makes people like her even more. Yuanxiao's mother even helped Xiaoying peel the nuts and put the nut kernels directly into Xiaoying's hands, letting her just eat them.
The happy time was short, and the New Year's holiday was over soon. On the afternoon of the third day of the New Year, the four of them gathered at the gate of Yuanxiao's yard to return to the Golden Sect together. Xiaoying's parents and Xiaopangzi's parents also came to see them off, and they all brought a package with various snacks prepared by their families.
Brother Zhaiyue took the lead in flying with a sword and walked in front. Xiaopangzi summoned the ice wolf, stepped on it and patted it lightly, and the ice wolf immediately spread its wings and flew high, which made Xiaopangzi's parents very proud.
Yuanxiao summoned Xiaohuang, sat down and waited for Xiaoying.
Xiaoying said a few more words to her parents, then took the package and walked towards Xiaohuang. She naturally sat on Xiaohuang's back, turned back happily, and handed the package to Yuanxiao.
They both greeted their parents again, and then Xiaohuang took off and gradually went away.
Xu Kai sighed, and understood everything. His daughter's thoughts were written on her face, and he was not blind. As the saying goes, a girl is not under the control of her mother, and a girl is even more not under the control of her father. Who can watch her every day? As long as she is healthy and happy, let her do whatever she wants.
However, forgiving cabbage is not the same as forgiving pigs! Xu Kai still gets angry when he thinks of the pig that pushes his own cabbage: You stinky boy, you have been eyeing my cabbage since you were a child, right? You are still quibbling!
Yuanxiao's parents saw Xiaoying take the initiative to leave with Yuanxiao on Xiaohuang. The two talked and laughed, and they immediately knew what was going on. The two grew up together and had a close relationship. Now it seems that we have not become more distant as we grow older, but instead seem to be closer.
Especially my mother-in-law, she suddenly remembered the names of the five friends her son had mentioned last time. One of them was Xiaoying. She felt a little guilty: Silly son, you treat these five people as good friends and friends. I may not treat you as a friend! Not to mention the three I haven't met yet, just talking about Bai Xin and Sakura just now, they may not just treat you as friends!
"Xu Kai, we haven't had a drink together for a long time. Let's drink at my house tonight!" Yuanxiao's father took the initiative to grab Xu Kai and walked towards his home. Auntie Yuanxiao also stepped forward to grab Aunt Xiaoying and asked them to have dinner together in the evening. The two adults had a very good relationship. Now because of the two children, the relationship has invisibly taken a step forward.
Above the clouds, Sakura peeled another sugar orange, turned around and whispered, "Now that daddy can't see, you won't be afraid of eating this sugar orange anymore, right?"
Yuanxiao looked embarrassed, took the sugar orange and said while eating: "It's really not my fault that I'm afraid of him, it's just a shadow of my childhood! I was..."
Xiaoying immediately stuffed two more sugar oranges into Yuanxiao's mouth: "I want you to mention it again! I want you to mention it again! I have to seal your mouth." There is something in Yuanxiao's mouth, so she just needs to stop talking.
Under the setting sun, the sea of clouds was illuminated fiery red, and the two of them rode away slowly on top of the clouds, forming a beautiful picture.
After returning to the mountain gate, Yuanxiao began to enter the world of Apocalypse, refining elixirs and weapons in seclusion, and continued to study formations. First, he ensured that he had a large amount of elixirs with him, and secondly, he also had to reserve a batch of elixirs and spiritual weapons in advance for convenience. Time supply to Fairy Yuan. The third is to continue to improve his attainments in formations, because Yuanxiao discovered that formations are becoming more and more useful.
And all of this is preparation for the Lantern Festival to travel around the world!
