Chapter 177 My happiness and luck are all yours
Su Qingyao laughed at his words, accepted the red envelope, and said, "Then I won't be polite."
"Don't mention it, don't mention it."
Jiang Shubai then took out two more red envelopes from his pocket.
"This was prepared by my parents for Ayu's fiancée. Remember to come to my house for dinner next time!"
Su Qingyao accepted the red envelope and said, "Please thank your uncle and aunt for me."
Wen Zhaoyue walked over, holding two exquisite red envelopes in her hands.
"Yaoyao, Happy New Year." She smiled and handed it over, "This is for you, it's not much, it's just a token of my appreciation."
Su Qingyao's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Thank you, Yueyue!"
Wen Zhaoyue handed another red envelope to Wen Yu, saying, "Here, take good care of yourself and get well soon."
Wen Yu nodded.
Qin Yue was the last to walk over.
He stood by the hospital bed, rubbed his hands together somewhat awkwardly, took out two red envelopes from his pocket, and handed them to Wen Yu.
"Young master, this is a small token of my appreciation... It's nothing, just for good luck."
Wen Yu looked at him, a warm feeling flashing in her eyes.
Qin Yue smiled and continued, "Giving red envelopes during the New Year is the custom. Please accept them, young master. When you recover, give me a bigger year-end bonus."
Wen Yu chuckled, then took it without saying anything more.
Qin Yue then turned to Su Qingyao and handed her another red envelope.
"Miss Qingyao, Happy New Year, thank you... thank you for being so kind to the young master."
Su Qingyao accepted the red envelope and felt a pang of sadness as she looked at Qin Yue's reddened eyes.
"Qin Yue, thank you for taking care of him all this time."
Qin Yue nodded vigorously, turned around, and secretly wiped the corner of his eye.
After receiving the red envelopes, the custom in northern China is to eat dumplings.
Last night, while staying up late to welcome the New Year, everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala and made a lot of dumplings.
Ruan Xinhe prepared the filling, Wen Zhaoyue kneaded the dough, Su Qingyao was in charge of rolling out the wrappers, and Jiang Shubai made several oddly shaped dumplings, which Zhang Miaoke mocked as "alien creatures".
Even Wen Tianyao, for the first time ever, bought two. Although they were terribly ugly, Ruan Xinhe still set them aside, intending for him to eat them himself so as not to harm others.
Most importantly, Ruan Xinhe hid several real gold coins in the dumplings.
The gold was made to the same size and thickness as a coin, and I went to a jewelry store to have it made, hoping for good luck in the new year.
Whoever eats it will have good luck this year.
Qin Yue carried in a large bowl of steaming dumplings, and the aroma instantly filled the entire ward.
"Here they come! The first batch of dumplings for the New Year!"
He placed the bowl on the round table and invited everyone to come and eat.
A small table was set up on Su Qingyao's hospital bed, and Wen Yu and she each had a bowl and sat side by side.
Su Qingyao picked up a dumpling, took a small bite, and encountered something hard.
She looked down and saw a gold coin peeking out from the dumpling, gleaming warmly under the light.
Ruan Xinhe smiled so broadly her eyes narrowed into slits, "As expected of Yaoyao, our little lucky star! She tasted gold on her very first bite!"
Su Qingyao took out the gold coin, weighed it in her hand, and found it to be quite heavy.
She smiled and shook herself, "Then I'm sure I'll have great luck this year."
Jiang Shubai stared at the scene, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Without saying a word, he buried his head and began to eat dumplings like crazy, one after another, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster's, and he couldn't stop eating with his chopsticks.
The bowl was empty; I didn't get to eat anything.
He put down his bowl in utter dejection, wailing, "Why?! Why don't I have any?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qingyao took a bite, and it was another gold coin.
Jiang Shubai's eyes widened.
Su Qingyao was also a little surprised, but she smiled and took out the piece, continuing to eat.
The third bite.
The third gold coin.
Jiang Shubai jumped up from his chair, pointed at Su Qingyao's bowl, and exclaimed in shock, "Aunt Ruan! Did you cheat?!"
Ruan Xinhe glared at him. "We made the dumplings together last night, and I didn't mark them. How could I have cheated?"
"Then what happened to her...?"
"Just lucky."
Wen Zhaoyue slowly picked up a dumpling, took a bite, then looked up at Jiang Shubai with an innocent expression.
She also got to eat one.
Jiang Shubai turned angrily to Qin Yue, his gaze blazing, "Steward Qin! Was it you! Did you tamper with the dumplings while they were cooking?!"
Qin Yue shook his head innocently, "Young Master Jiang, it's completely random."
Jiang Shubai wanted to cry but had no tears, and slumped in his chair.
But he was a man whose emotions came and went quickly. He glanced at Wen Yu, who was eating slowly and deliberately, just like him, without getting a single bite.
Jiang Shubai instantly regained his composure.
But then, Su Qingyao handed all three gold coins from her bowl to Wen Yu.
"My darling Yuyu, what's mine is yours."
Her voice was soft and tinged with laughter.
"I give you all my luck and happiness."
Wen Yu looked at the three gold coins in his palm, then at the person in front of him, and put the gold coins back into Su Qingyao's hand.
"What the baby eats is for the baby."
Su Qingyao took one of the coins and gave him the remaining two. She winked at him and smiled like a little fox.
"Then I'll just take one. You can't refuse; you have to accept what I give you."
Wen Yu lowered his head and carefully put away the two gold coins.
Baby, having you is all my happiness.
He didn't say it.
But Su Qingyao heard it.
Because her hand quietly hooked around his hand.
Their fingers are intertwined.
The two spent the following New Year together, laughing and joking.
Although they cannot leave their hospital rooms, these people still have many ways to entertain themselves.
On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two counted the red envelopes they had received. When they saw the bed covered in red, Su Qingyao was shocked.
"Does your family give out this many red envelopes during Chinese New Year? This must be worth over 100,000 yuan."
Wen Yu affectionately stroked her head, "When you become my wife, the red envelopes will be even bigger."
Su Qingyao blushed and continued to happily count the red envelopes.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Shubai had a top-of-the-line VR device brought in so that the two of them could experience VR New Year greetings in an immersive way.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Zhaoyue brought a private cinema setup, and a group of people watched all the movies released during the Spring Festival in this hospital room.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Ruan Xinhe organized a "hospital fashion show".
Su Qingyao and Wen Yu were the referees, and they watched with a mixture of amusement and exasperation as everyone took turns wearing either quirky or flamboyant outfits.
Jiang Shubai, in particular, was just too flamboyant and hilarious.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we welcome the God of Wealth.
They started decorating the ward early in the morning, putting up images of the God of Wealth, setting up an offering table, placing fruit, and lighting incense and candles.
Everyone was worshipping the God of Wealth with great devotion.
......
On the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, several people gathered together to make handmade lanterns.
Once finished, the lanterns were hung up one by one and lit.
Su Qingyao stood under the lamp, looking up at it, her eyes reflecting the light.
Wen Yu sat on the hospital bed, looking at her.
The lanterns were lit all night.
The next day, after examination, the doctor confirmed that Su Qingyao's injuries had fully healed. Except for her dislocated thumb, which still needed rest, she was completely healthy and normal.
Zhang Miaoke said she was like a little rabbit that had been locked up for too long and was finally released. She laughed and chased after Zhang Miaoke playfully.
After they finished laughing and joking, Ruan Xinhe came over and gently took her hand.
"Yaoyao, come with me for a moment."
Su Qingyao followed her to the end of the corridor.
Ruan Xinhe turned to look at her, her eyes red-rimmed. She opened her mouth but hesitated to speak.
Su Qingyao sighed and stepped forward to hug Ruan Xinhe.
"Auntie, no need to say anything, I know, I understand."
