Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 859 Coin Dumplings

Liu Jingxue was busy celebrating the New Year with everyone else in the cowshed, but she didn't know that some places in the Japanese country were very lively at this time.

When looting things, although Liu Jingxue took most of the things from secret rooms or treasure houses, she also took away some antiques, calligraphy and paintings that some people put out in the open.

If something is placed in plain sight, the owner will naturally discover it when he gets up and will make a fuss.

After searching everywhere in the house without success, if you suspect that there is a thief in the house, you have to call the police to alert the thief.

The police stations in the cities that Liu Jingxue visited were very busy today. Many people who found something missing from their homes ran to report to the police.

Because so many people called the police, the news naturally spread. Some people who got the news checked their belongings at home to see if anything had been stolen.

As a result of the investigation, someone naturally discovered that things in the house's treasure house and secret room were missing, causing another round of chaos.

The police station became even more lively.

The whole city became lively.

As for Tokyo, which suffered the heaviest losses, one can imagine how busy the royal family and various families were.

They also used their power and mobilized all the manpower they could to start a large-scale search in an attempt to recover the lost items.

But the things were put into the space by Liu Jingxue, so how could they find them?

However, the people they sent out found some good things during the search. Regardless of whether they were lost by the royal family or various noble families, they were all brought back as stolen goods.

After all, time was short and Liu Jingxue couldn't take away everything, so naturally some things would slip through the net.

Naturally, those people refused, claiming that these were their own things, not lost by the royal family or other noble families, but how could an arm twist against a thigh?

The searchers had received a death order from above to recover the items. Otherwise, they would be severely punished.

But after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find the lost items. Now that they finally found the suspected items, how could they let it go?

Even though they knew that they were not the stolen goods, they could only pretend not to know, hoping that the big shots would get these things, make up for some of their losses, and then show mercy and let them go.

As a result, the Japanese country was in chaos, and the culprit behind all this was happily celebrating the New Year with my uncle's family, Grandpa Zou, and Grandpa Wu.

However, if she knew this, she would not feel guilty but would be happier instead.

Except for the Little Tiger's meal, everyone drank some wine at the New Year's Eve dinner and didn't finish until after nine o'clock.

After they worked together to clean up the mess, little Huzi was too young to resist the drowsiness and went to bed first.

The remaining eight adults, five men and three women, just formed two card tables and stayed up all night playing cards.

This deck of cards was brought over by Zhou Mingxuan some time ago. He played with it during the Chinese New Year last year and is continuing to use it this year.

We played until about eleven o'clock in the evening, and then cooked some dumplings, one bowl for each person.

But I will go to bed soon, so the portion in each bowl is not too big, just for good luck.

Liu Jingxue wanted to eat more, probably because she was afraid that she would be busy all night long. However, in order not to arouse suspicion, she did not make any request.

With a "crack" sound, Mr. Zou smiled and spat out the coin in his mouth.

"Haha, it looks like I'll have good luck in the new year. I'll be the first to eat the coin dumpling."

As Mr. Zou spoke, he thought of the letter from Mr. Zhang. Although he knew that most of the dumplings tonight were filled with coins, it was not surprising for him to eat one, but he was still happy and full of hope.

"Old Zou, you are so lucky. I have eaten several, but why didn't I get a coin?" Old Wu said deliberately.

"No, I want to eat a few more, and I must eat a coin-sized dumpling.

We can’t let you, Old Man Zou, take all the good luck.”

As Mr. Wu spoke, he picked up a dumpling and took a deliberate big bite.

Wang Xiulan and Xie Yumei were engaged in a lawsuit.

The coin dumplings were made by the two of them, and they made special marks on them when they were making them.

When I was serving dumplings to everyone just now, I also paid attention to it and deliberately put one or two in each person's bowl.

But so far, only Mr. Zou has eaten it, and they are somewhat suspicious whether they remembered the mark wrong.

But the next second, they were no longer worried.

Mr. Wu took a bite and cried, "Ouch!" "My teeth."

"Hahahaha, Brother Wu, are you stupid?

You clearly saw me find some coin in my food and knew there was something hard in the dumpling, but instead of taking it slow, you bit it hard.

This is really a teeth breaking problem.

You only have a few good teeth left, so don’t break them.”

Wang Xiulan quickly asked, "Brother Wu, are you okay? Did you really break your tooth?"

If his teeth break, it would be his fault.

After all, I made these coin dumplings myself.

Mr. Wu smiled and shook out the coins from the dumplings. "Don't worry, my teeth are fine. They're not broken."

He proudly picked up the coin that had just fallen on the table, held it up in front of Mr. Zou and shook it a few times. Mr. Wu said proudly,

"Old man Zou, did you see that? I also ate the coin.

This good luck is not just yours, I will also have good luck in the New Year."

Mr. Zou said cheerfully, "Yes, yes, you are lucky, and so am I. In the new year, we will all be lucky."

In the end, everyone found coins in their food. Liu Jingxue and Liu Jianjun were lucky enough to get two coin dumplings. This was naturally a special arrangement by Wang Xiulan.

Knowing that in the new year, Liu Jianjun might go to a secret unit to carry out the most confidential and dangerous mission, how could she not be worried.

But she knew her son's character very well, and it was impossible to persuade him not to go.

Thinking of her son's current abilities, Wang Xiulan felt more at ease, but she was also completely worried. After all, nothing in the world is absolute.

But she could do nothing but use these methods, hoping to bring some good luck to her son and let him have peace and happiness in the new year.

In fact, if Wang Xiulan hadn't been afraid of giving her son a bad experience, or causing Liu Jianguo and Xie Yumei to have any bad thoughts, she would have wanted to prepare a whole plate of coin dumplings for Liu Jianjun.

Even his plate of dumplings was filled entirely with coin filling.

As for Liu Jingxue, Wang Xiulan was also worried that if they really left and Xiaoxue was left alone here, she would be lonely.

Besides, the child's marriage is indeed a headache for Wang Xiulan, and if her ability is leaked, it will bring her great danger.

With so many rooms stacked up together, it was hard for Wang Xiulan not to worry about her.

So we can only pin our hopes on these things, hoping that in the new year, the child will have good luck and everything will go well.

As for Liu Jianguo and Xie Yumei, the couple each ate a coin-shaped dumpling, which was enough for double luck.

I hope there will be good news in the coming year.

After eating dumplings, it was already past midnight. Everyone greeted each other and said auspicious words, then ended their stay-at-home party.

Originally, the elders said that they should stay up until dawn, but Liu Jingxue, who had other plans, had already dispelled the idea by saying that the elders were too old to stay up late and that staying up until 12 o'clock would be enough.

As for the young people, although it was okay for them to stay up all night, they did not believe in the customs of the older generation. If their elders did not insist, it would be impossible for them to stay up all night.

Liu Jingxue and the other three left the cowshed and went back to rest, and several elders also prepared to go to bed.
