Siheyuan: Rebirth of Shazhu, Many Children and Blessings

Zhou Ziyi's eyes lit up when he saw the handful of coins Liu Lan handed over.

It had been many years since he had eaten dumplings stuffed with coins.

He had only eaten this kind of dumplings once or twice when he was very young, and he still remembers the excitement he felt when he ate them.

Even You Fengxia was interested. She had always had bad luck, so even though she had eaten dumplings when she was a child, she had never eaten dumplings with coins inside.

Almost every time, her brother got to eat the only dumpling with a coin in it.

For this reason, You Fengxia secretly envied her for a long time.

However, seeing Liu Lan's huge pile of coins, You Fengxia smiled and said, "Sister Lan, aren't there too many coins in this bag?"

"Not much." Liu Lan said with a smile: "This way everyone can have at least one chance to eat it."

"Sister Lan, you are so thoughtful." You Fengxia found that Liu Lan really knew how to take care of everyone's feelings.

You Fengxia felt very happy living with Liu Lan for the past year.

She finally enjoyed the feeling of being taken care of.

After the dumplings were wrapped, Liu Lan, You Fengxia and others sat at a table and started eating dumplings.

You can tell at a glance which dumpling was made by whom.

The dumplings made by Liu Lan are very beautiful and standard, while the dumplings made by You Fengxia are more compact and smaller, but the meat inside the dumpling skin is round and plump, and looks like it is about to burst.

The dumplings made by Zhou Ziyi are the easiest to recognize because each one he makes is a little different, but they all look a little ugly.

Zhou Ziheng ate his dumplings and laughed at Zhou Ziyi, "Brother, these dumplings you made are really ugly."

"Even eating can't stop your mouth." Zhou Ziyi blushed, which was rare. He himself felt that the dumplings he wrapped were a little ugly.

"Next time, it's your turn to make dumplings, and I'll take care of my brother and sister."

"Hehe, my skills are definitely better than yours." Zhou Ziheng was very confident.

As he spoke, he chewed the dumplings in big mouthfuls.

"Ouch, brother, what did you put in these dumplings? They're hurting my teeth."

Liu Lan suddenly laughed, "Ziheng, come on and spit it out so we can see."

Zhou Ziheng spit out the thing in his mouth and took a look, and said excitedly, "Mom, it's a coin!"

"Yes." Liu Lan said with a smile: "If you eat the dumpling with the coin, you will have good luck in the coming year."

"Hehe, good luck." Zhou Ziheng looked at Zhou Ziyi provocatively. This time, he was luckier than Zhou Ziyi.

"I got it too." You Fengxia suddenly spoke, and then spat out the coin in her mouth.

"That's great! This is the first time I've eaten a coin since I was a child." You Fengxia smiled happily, but there were tears in her eyes.

Next, Zhou Ziyi and Liu Lan also ate the coins one after another.

Everyone is happy.

......

On the other hand, Yu Li and Yu Haitang were in a more awkward situation.

After Yu Li brought Yu Haitang back home in the morning, their mother started to give Yu Haitang a cold shoulder, making Yu Haitang so angry that she almost left.

Fortunately, Yu Weichang and Yu Li were able to mediate.

"Haitang has finally come back, why are you giving her such a cold shoulder? Who was the one who kept complaining about Haitang not coming home?"

"I'm angry." Yu Haitang's mother felt upset. "She has been out for so long, and now I don't even know where she lives. She hasn't even come home once."

"But Haitang would send money home every month after she got her salary. Didn't you keep all the money?"

"I don't want her money." Yu Haitang's mother said, "I hope the obedient daughter I used to be can come back."

Yu Li also advised Yu Haitang that she had finally returned and she should not quarrel with her family.

The bloodline of this family cannot be severed, not to mention that she and her mother only had different ideas.

However, Yu Haitang exploded again when she heard her mother say that she hoped the obedient daughter she used to be could come back.

"Mom, my being so obedient before was just an illusion." Yu Haitang looked at her mother and said word by word.

"I never want to listen to your twisted ideas, and even if I did, I wouldn't follow them.

I've said it countless times, I have my own ideas.

So if you really want to control my thoughts like before, I don’t want to come back to this home anymore.”

After Yu Haitang finished speaking, she kept looking directly into her mother's eyes.

The poor middle-aged woman finally realized that Yu Haitang was not just being upset from the beginning.

She was rebelling against the discipline and control she had been under for so many years.

The two of them kept looking at each other, and no one spoke.

Yu Weichang and Yu Li were not in a position to say anything at this time and could only watch quietly from the side.

After all, the conflict between this mother and daughter can only be resolved by themselves.

Finally, Yu Haitang's mother took a step back.

"It's New Year's Day, let's not talk about this. I'm going to go cook."

"Mom, let me help you." Yu Li followed her mother into the kitchen.

Yu Haitang also knew that her mother had already made a concession, so she did not continue to act like a thorn in everyone's heart.

Yu Wei sighed, "Haitang, you are grown up now, but I still hope you remember that your mother always loves you."

“If you want to be alone out there, take good care of yourself and don’t make us worry.

Also, come back more often. Last time it was your birthday, your mom prepared a table full of food for you to come home.

You didn't come back that day, and your mother was actually very disappointed."

Yu Haitang felt uncomfortable listening to Yu Weichang's earnest words. She nodded gloomily.

"I see, Dad."

Now that both sides have taken a step back, the New Year atmosphere is no longer as tense as it was at the beginning.

At the dinner table, Yu Haitang's mother sighed, "Since Xiaoli got married, our family has never had a New Year's meal like this."

"Yes, Mom, there are always some inconveniences after getting married."

Yu Weichang suddenly looked at Yu Haitang, "Haitang, didn't you have a boyfriend before? Why didn't you spend the New Year together?"

"Dad, his place is far away, and he rarely comes back even during the Chinese New Year."

"How can you be a couple if you don't see each other all day?" Yu Haitang's mother frowned.

"Just correspondence will do." Yu Haitang said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry to get married or anything."
