Chapter 702: 077 The Death of Le Lin Family_2

The wish she expressed really fit someone’s mind perfectly, and it was still the apprentice who was the most sensible and understood her master’s thoughts the best.

But before Lao Fan could laugh out loud, Xiao Linshuang’s little paw was already reaching out in front of him, "Master, master, give me the red packet! The bigger the red packet, the more delicious food you’ll get next year!"

Lao Fan’s face began to twitch, this little wolf cub was indeed a wolf cub, so cunning!

"You brat, take it!"

Lao Fan stretched his hand into his bosom and pulled out three red packets, throwing them one by one into the hands of Lin Yuan’s three sisters, his face darkened. Maybe he was worried that he really wouldn’t have any delicious food to eat next year, so when he put the red packet into Xiao Linshuang’s hand, he carefully turned his back and secretly doubled the amount of silver inside.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but smile at their childishness, which was just like Xiao Linshuang. Despite their various complaints, he still cherished them and had even prepared red packets for them ahead of time.

Xiao Yongyan, although young, also received a red packet. Even Lin Yi was called in by Lin Jiaxin and given a large red packet. The seven-foot man stood there dumbfounded like a boy, clearly not expecting to receive a red packet.

"Come on, time to eat dumplings!"

After paying respects to the elders in the family and eating the dumplings on the first day, it meant growing a year older.

Following the customs from her past life, Lin Yuan originally planned to hide a Copper Coin in the dumplings to see who would have the fortune to find it.

But a Copper Coin is not like a coin, it’s really a bit too large. With no choice, she had to settle for a few peanuts instead. To avoid giving it away, she carefully wrapped the peanuts with the dumpling filling so that the cooked dumplings looked the same as the others.

With Lin Yuan’s announcement, the whole family ate their dumplings with great enthusiasm. Xiao Linshuang and Lao Fan even ate an extra large bowl, but in the end, no one found a dumpling with peanuts in it.

Clutching his overfilled stomach, Lao Fan complained with a pained expression, "I say, girl, did you put too few peanuts in there? We might have eaten them without noticing."

Xiao Linshuang also slumped in her chair, drawing circles on her stomach to help digestion, "Exactly, there must have been too few peanuts, we didn’t eat any. Oh, I should have known to eat them one bite at a time, not a whole dumpling in one go! Ouch, my stomach hurts now."

Lin Wei put down her chopsticks and began rubbing Xiao Linshuang’s stomach, humming with concern, "If you had listened and eaten slowly, your stomach wouldn’t hurt. I told you so, but you didn’t listen. Now suffer, you deserve it."

Xiao Linshuang hadn’t finished her complaint when suddenly they heard Lin Jiaxin exclaim from across the room, "Huh? Something’s off with this dumpling."

This immediately drew everyone’s attention, as they saw several white round balls peeking out from the bite Lin Jiaxin took from his dumpling.

"Peanuts?!" Xiao Linshuang’s stomach pain vanished as she excitedly jumped up from her chair, "So it was with Dad! Dad is the one with the best fortune!"

Lao Fan frowned, put down his chopsticks, and turned back to rubbing his stomach. He had thought about eating a few more dumplings to try his luck, but now that was unnecessary, no need to torture his stomach further.

Lady Liu also looked at her husband joyfully, her lips curled in a smile.

But Lin Jiaxin fed the rest of his dumpling to his youngest daughter, smiling as he said, "Indeed, Dad is fortunate to have several good children like you. Here, you should also have some good luck."

Xiao Linshuang chomped down the dumpling in one bite, clapping her hands and laughing as she chewed, "I’ve got fortune too, I’ve got fortune too!"

It was only after breakfast that daylight began to break. Because it had just snowed, everyone’s departure to pay New Year’s visits was much later than usual.

As a man, after eating, Lin Jiaxin had to go around the village to offer New Year’s greetings. In previous years, he didn’t have to go because of his bad leg, but now that he was healed, he naturally had to make the rounds.

Worried that he might be cold, Lady Liu fetched him a cotton shoulder wrap. Lin Jiaxin dressed and kissed Xiao Yongyan on the cheek, his unevenly shaved stubble causing the little one to dodge away.

"Ha ha, you rascal, grow up quick. When you’re grown, Dad will take you around the village for New Year’s visits!"

The girls like Lin Yuan, being unmarried daughters, didn’t need to go out for New Year’s visits. Logically, daughters-in-law should also go, but since Lady Liu had to take care of the baby at home, Lin Jiaxin insisted she not go out.
