In the Second Generation of the Trench, He Changed To the Ruanfan Script-Chapter 51:
When the Wei family makes dumplings during Chinese New Year, they have always had the habit of stuffing a pitted red date in the dumplings. Those who eat this special dumpling represent the luckiest person this year.
Seeing Mother Wei take out a red date from the kitchen and was about to wrap it in dumplings, Wei Lizhou's eyes lit up, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
He hastily said: "Mom, let me wrap the red dates."
Mother Wei looked at Wei Lizhou suspiciously for a moment, "Why are you so active about this all of a sudden?"
"Is there?" Wei Lizhou smiled guiltyly, got up hurriedly and took the pitted red date from Mother Wei's hand.
Wei's mother and Wei Shengnan beside her looked at each other, and they both saw suspicion towards Wei Lizhou in each other's eyes.
After Wei Lizhou took the red date, he didn't immediately wrap it into dumplings, but put it aside.
He waited patiently for a while, and noticed that Wei's mother and Wei Shengnan were making dumplings and chatting intently, while Yu Yiqing was concentrating on rolling the dumpling wrappers. No one paid attention to him, and Wei Lizhou felt instantly There was a flash of joy.
He hurriedly wrapped the pitted red dates beside him into the dumpling, and secretly made a special mark on the dumpling, and then put the dumpling into the dumpling plate as if nothing had happened.
Mother Wei and Wei Shengnan, who had been secretly watching Wei Lizhou from the corner of their eyes, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile.
Wei Shengnan leaned close to Wei's mother's ear, and smiled softly, "Mom, your son is too immature. How old is he, yet he still plays tricks like this."
Mother Wei smiled: "Forget it, forget it, just pretend you didn't see it. Since he cares about this so much, give this to him."
Wei Shengnan laughed and said, "What a childish ghost."
Wei Lizhou and the others quickly finished making the dumplings.
In addition to the staple food of dumplings, there are also hard dishes such as sweet and sour carp, steamed shrimp with garlic vermicelli, and stewed abalone soup with coconut greens on the table of the Wei family New Year's Eve dinner.
As the delicious dishes come out of the pot and served on the table, the rich and attractive aroma wafts in the air, making people appetite.
Father Wei, who was the chef of the New Year's Eve dinner, stood by the dining table and said cheerfully, "The dishes are ready, everyone can start eating."
Wei Lizhou took the initiative and said, "Let me help you make dumplings."
Wei Shengnan glanced at him knowingly, and said with a smile: "Be courteous for nothing, Wei Lizhou, do you have some bad idea?"
Wei Lizhou pretended to be innocent and smiled, "What a bad idea, I just picked up some dumplings for everyone."
Wei Shengnan didn't bother to expose his little trick, so he didn't say anything, and directly handed his bowl to Wei Lizhou.
Wei Lizhou picked up the dumplings carefully, for fear that he would give the dumpling he marked to the wrong person.
But gradually, he began to have doubts.
Looking at the remaining dumplings, Wei Lizhou frowned in wonder, why he hasn't found that dumpling yet.
Wei Lizhou didn't find the dumpling he marked until he finished picking up the dumplings for everyone and finally for himself.
Wei Lizhou frowned suspiciously, it's impossible, he clearly marked it, how could he not find it.
Moreover, he watched his mother put all the dumplings into the pot, so there is no possibility of missing dumplings.
Wei Lizhou cautiously glanced at the dumplings in everyone's bowls on the table, but found no signs.
Just when he thought the dumpling had disappeared out of thin air, he looked down and found it tightly stuck to another dumpling at the bottom of his bowl.
Wei Lizhou: "..." This dumpling is really easy for him to find! 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m
Seeing that there were two more dumplings suddenly in his bowl, Yu Yiqing looked up at Wei Lizhou suspiciously.
Wei Lizhou looked calm and natural, "I have too many dumplings here, and I may not be able to finish them later, please help me eliminate two at the same table."
Yu Yiqing glanced at the dumplings in Wei Lizhou's bowl, a little puzzled flashed in his eyes, considering Wei Lizhou's appetite, these dumplings are not too much.
Although he was a little confused, Yu Yiqing still picked up one of the dumplings sent by Wei Lizhou.
He took a bite, and the salty and sweet taste of the dumpling filling instantly made him frown slightly.
Noticing Yu Yiqing's expression, Wei's mother looked at him, saw half a red date in the dumpling stuffing, she instantly connected everything together, smiled suddenly, and said to Yu Yiqing: "Fortunate luck, booming! Fire. It seems that you will be the luckiest person this year."
Wei Shengnan didn't expect that this red date dumpling was actually eaten by Yu Yiqing. But after thinking about it, she instantly understood, and said to Yu Yiqing with a smile: "It seems that Yu Yiqing, your luck this year should be good, and you have a good New Year's Eve."
Father Wei laughed ignorantly when he saw this, "I ate this dumpling in previous years, but this year it can be regarded as a change."
Wei Lizhou also smiled calmly, and said to Wei Lizhou, "I want to rub your happiness at the same table!"
After he finished speaking, he rubbed his hand on Yu Yiqing's shoulder.
Yu Yiqing felt a little weird, he glanced at Wei Lizhou, this dumpling wrapped with red dates came from Wei Lizhou's bowl.
Wei Lizhou pretended to be stupid and looked back blankly, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Big Lucky Star, what are you looking at me for?"
Hearing Wei Lizhou's address, Yu Yiqing moved his fingers slightly, and he pursed his lips. This was the first time he heard someone call him a lucky star.
During the Chinese New Year in the past, what he heard most often was "unlucky" or "broom star" in Yu Gang's mouth.
Wei's mother smiled and said to Yu Yiqing: "Although the salty and sweet taste is not good, you still have to finish eating this dumpling so that the new year can be complete."
Hearing Mother Wei's gentle exhortation, Yu Yiqing's brows and eyes gradually softened, and he nodded slightly.
He slowly chewed this unique dumpling, obviously the taste was a bit strange.
But he still chewed slowly, and couldn't help reminiscing about the slight sweetness that came to his heart unconsciously.
Although the Wei family's New Year's Eve dinner is simple, there is always a warm and happy atmosphere on the table.
In this warm and harmonious atmosphere, Yu Yiqing's previously indifferent brows and eyes were gradually imbued with the festiveness of the New Year.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone helped clean up the dining table, and the task of washing dishes was handed over to Wei Lizhou and Yu Yiqing.
After washing all the dishes and chopsticks clean and shiny, Wei Lizhou asked Yu Yiqing, "Would you like to go out for a walk, I feel that I am full."
Yu Yiqing: "Go to the garden."
When he walked to the door, Wei Lizhou glanced at Yu Yiqing and noticed that he was not wearing a coat. Thinking of Yu Yiqing's fear of the cold, he blurted out: "It will cool down outside at night, you go and get a coat, let's go for a walk again."
Yu Yiqing nodded, turned around and walked towards the living room where he put his coat.
Wei Lizhou went out first, and as soon as he walked out, he was blown away by the oncoming cold wind.
Wei Lizhou muttered: "Fortunately, I asked Yu Yiqing to go back and get the coat."
Wei Lizhou looked back at the villa, wanting to see if Yu Yiqing had come out, but suddenly heard Huang Shiyuan's voice behind him.
"Xiao Wei, what are you doing in the garden by yourself?"
Wei Lizhou looked back, and saw Huang Shiyuan standing outside the Wei family garden.
Wei Lizhou walked to the door, smiled and said to Huang Shiyuan: "Aunt Huang, Happy New Year."
Huang Shiyuan smiled, "Happy New Year. But why are you wandering in the garden alone?"
Wei Lizhou explained with a smile, "I'm full from the New Year's Eve dinner, so I plan to go out for a walk. But I'm not alone, my friend Yu Yiqing, he went back to the room to get his coat, and he will come out later."
"So that's it." Huang Shiyuan smiled and took out two red envelopes from her coat pocket, and handed the red envelopes to Wei Lizhou, "Come on, these are New Year's red envelopes from Auntie for you and your friend Yu Yiqing."
Wei Lizhou wasn't embarrassed at all. He accepted the red envelope with a smile, clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Huang! On behalf of me and my friend, I wish you all wishes and wishes come true in the New Year."
Huang Shiyuan was amused by Wei Lizhou's appearance, "You're welcome, Auntie also wishes you good health and success in your studies."
After chatting with Huang Shiyuan for a while, Wei Lizhou suddenly looked at Huang Shiyuan with some doubts, "Aunt Huang, didn't you go to Yan Kaichen's house to celebrate the New Year? Why did you come back suddenly?"
When Huang Shiyuan was about to explain that she came back to get something, Yan Kaichen's voice suddenly sounded beside them.
"Auntie, we should go. My mother called and asked why we haven't gone back. The family is already waiting for us."
Yan Kaichen walked up to Huang Shiyuan while talking. He nodded to Wei Lizhou as a gesture of greeting.
Wei Lizhou directly turned his head away, his eyes turned round and round, as if he didn't see Yan Kaichen.
Hearing Yan Kaichen's urging, Huang Shiyuan smiled at Wei Lizhou embarrassedly, "Xiao Wei, I still have something to do, let's talk another day."
Wei Lizhou nodded, "Aunt Huang, go slowly."
Before Yan Kaichen left, he glanced at the two red envelopes in Wei Lizhou's hand, and he immediately guessed that these two red envelopes were most likely given by Huang Shiyuan.
Thinking of the Wei family's children besides Wei Lizhou and Wei Shengnan, Yan Kaichen didn't think too much about it.
After returning home, he accidentally heard the conversation between Huang Shiyuan and Yan Daichuan, and his heart sank instantly.
Yan Kaichen originally came to the living room to ask Huang Shiyuan and Yan Daichuan to eat, but he heard Huang Shiyuan ask Yan Daichuan: "Do you have any extra red envelopes?"
Yan Daichuan was a little puzzled: "Didn't you prepare two? You said one for Wei Lizhou and one for Yan Kaichen? Why is it suddenly not enough?"
Huang Shiyuan: "It was like this. But when I went home just now, I ran into Xiao Wei, and when I heard him say that his friend Yu Yiqing was also there, I gave out both red envelopes."
When he heard the name "Yu Yiqing" from Huang Shiyuan's mouth, Yan Kaichen's ears suddenly exploded like thunder, and his face was instantly pale and bloodless.
But Huang Shiyuan and the others did not notice the existence of Yan Kaichen behind him.
Yan Daichuan said to Huang Shiyuan: "I don't have any extra red envelopes here. And now it's all paid on the Internet. You'll know where to find cash now."
Seeing Huang Shiyuan frowned, Yan Daichuan didn't want her to bother, and said, "You can just transfer the money to him online, it doesn't make any difference."
Huang Shiyuan curled her lips: "How can there be a sense of ritual in online transfers such as red envelopes?"
Recently, Yan Daichuan felt that Yan Kaichen was a bit weird, so he didn't want to see Huang Shiyuan worrying about Yan Kaichen, he said directly: "Yan Kaichen doesn't care about such trivial matters, you can transfer the money to him directly, and save him the trouble of going to the bank to save money .”
When Huang Shiyuan said this, she suddenly felt that it seemed reasonable, "Then let's transfer money directly online this year."
Yan Kaichen stood at the corner of the living room, listening to their conversation with bated breath. Seeing that Huang Shiyuan just casually mentioned Yu Yiqing and didn't show any strangeness, he guessed in his heart that perhaps Huang Shiyuan didn't see Yu Yiqing's face.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, he pretended to casually mention to Huang Shiyuan the two red envelopes that Wei Lizhou was holding just now.
He turned left and right, and after trying his best to confirm from Huang Shiyuan that she didn't see Yu Yiqing, he breathed a sigh of relief. But when he thought of Yu Yiqing, the string in his mind tensed up again.
He gritted his teeth in his heart, it seemed that there was not much time left for him, and he had to make them never have the chance to meet as soon as possible. Otherwise, once they meet, all the hard work he has put in all this time will be in vain.
Yan Kaichen's eyes suddenly filled with a cold and cruel intent.
He and Yu Yiqing are destined to live forever. As long as Yu Yiqing is around, he is destined to have no peaceful day.
Just like the red envelope given by Huang Shiyuan, once the red envelope is given to Yu Yiqing, what he gets will only be a defective product.
Once Yu Yiqing returns to the Yan family, Yan Daichuan and his wife will definitely leave the Yan Group to Yu Yiqing, and then he will end up in a ridiculous ending.
On Wei's side, just as Huang Shiyuan disappeared from Wei Lizhou's sight, Yu Yiqing walked out.
As soon as Wei Lizhou saw Yu Yiqing, he complained: "Didn't you just go back and put on a coat? Why have you been in for so long?"
"You should ask why your own coat is so hard to find." Yu Yiqing handed the coat in his hand to Wei Lizhou.
Yu Yiqing originally got his coat, so he wanted to come out to find Wei Lizhou. But when he got to the door, he remembered that Wei Lizhou was wearing a thin sweater, so he went back to find Wei's mother and asked her to help bring out Wei Lizhou's coat.
Wei Lizhou took the coat from Yu Yiqing's hand, and said with a playful smile, "I happen to be a little cold. Well, I forgive you."
Yu Yiqing glanced at Wei Lizhou, pretending to be a good boy when he got a bargain.
Wei Lizhou took out the two red envelopes he got from Huang Shiyuan just now from his pocket.
He waved the two red envelopes in front of Yu Yiqing, and said with a smile: "The red envelopes given by Aunt Huang next door are a windfall!"
Yu Yiqing was not interested in red envelopes, so he said perfunctorily, "Congratulations."
"Same joy, same joy!" Wei Lizhou handed a red envelope to Yu Yiqing.
Yu Yiqing frowned suspiciously, he pushed Wei Lizhou's hand away, "Others gave it to you, you don't keep it yourself, what are you doing for me?"
Wei Lizhou directly stuffed the red envelope into the pocket of Yu Yiqing's jacket, and he patted Yu Yiqing's pocket, "You just keep it, Aunt Huang gave it to you, so I take it for nothing."
Yu Yiqing took out the red envelope from his pocket, feeling the heavy thickness of the red envelope, he frowned, "I am not related to him, so you should return it for me."
There was a brilliant smile on Wei Lizhou's face, "I will introduce you to another day, and you will be considered relatives. At that time, if you want to return the red envelope to her, you can return it yourself."
Yu Yiqing: "..."
