Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Fortune and Sweetness
"..."
After hearing Mrs. Xiao Li’s words, which spilled out like beans from a bag, Yuan Zhaodi fell silent.
He understood what his wife was thinking, but he also realized that it would be very difficult to change her mind.
The current situation was like a debate where each side had its own reasoning, and ultimately, it was unclear who was right.
After a long silence, Yuan Zhaodi slowly exhaled a breath and said, "You say that luck and fortune might be brought by our son, so let me ask you, who found the eagle and the Golden Eagle?"
"If it really was Shouhu’s luck, then why was it Jiaojiao who found them, not him?"
"That’s because Shouhu’s luck influenced that little girl!"
Mrs. Xiao Li replied confidently and continued, "You guys went hunting in the mountains and had a great harvest, even catching a tiger on the way. Does that mean it was your luck?"
"Uh... ?!"
At this point, Yuan Zhaodi was completely at a loss for words.
According to Mrs. Xiao Li’s theory, it all made sense.
"Forget it, I won’t argue with you anymore!"
In the end, Yuan Zhaodi compromised, or rather, he was tired.
Such things really are situations where everyone has their own reasoning, and it’s impossible to make sense of it or explain it clearly.
"Now, Jiaojiao has already been adopted by Xiao Wu, and in the future, she won’t be related to us anymore!"
"Once the New Year is over, Dad, Mom, and Xiao Wu will take Jiaojiao to move to the city. In the future, I guess, we’ll only see them during holidays; let’s leave it at that!"
No point in talking if it can’t be figured out.
Anyway, from now on, it’s like two separate families.
Hearing Yuan Zhaodi’s words, Mrs. Xiao Li said nothing.
It was unclear whether she agreed or was just lost in thought.
...
On New Year’s Eve, in the Yuan Family, only the adults stayed awake until late, while the little kids, including the half-grown Yuan Shoucheng, were sleeping soundly.
However, the morning of New Year’s Day was quite eventful.
Yuan Shouhu wet the bed!
He hadn’t wet the bed for months, but he did last night.
Mrs. Xiao Li found out about this when she woke up in the morning, and her good mood quickly turned gloomy.
She suddenly remembered that their daughter, Yuan Bao, seemed to have never wet the bed from just a few months old, and rarely wetted her pants. When she was around, Yuan Shouhu also wet the bed or his pants very seldom.
Though Mrs. Xiao Li wasn’t pleased, she had to quickly clean up the mess.
As for Yuan Shouhu, he woke up, got dressed, and excitedly went out to give New Year’s greetings.
On the first day of the New Year, there were red envelopes for New Year’s greetings.
The little kids in the Yuan Family had been eagerly looking forward to it.
Yuan Bao didn’t stay idle either; she went around greeting everyone and collecting red envelopes.
But when she went to give New Year’s greetings to Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li, Yuan Zhaodi’s expression was evidently awkward as his own daughter now called him Fourth Uncle. Meanwhile, Mrs. Xiao Li looked at Yuan Bao with a strange gaze, not knowing what she was thinking.
However, after the greetings, Yuan Bao quickly left.
She didn’t want to engage much with these two parents whose heads weren’t clear.
The memories in her head told her that brainlessness could be contagious, and she was afraid of being infected.
Breakfast was still dumplings, but some had special fillings symbolizing good fortune for the New Year.
Yuan Bao, being young, only ate three dumplings, and one contained a Copper Coin, another had a date, and one had sugar.
She didn’t miss a single dumpling with the special fillings.
Prosperity and sweetness!
Such good luck, Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng had lived for so many years and experienced it for the first time.
