Annie patted Dave on the shoulder like a little adult and said, "How about you perform when setting off fireworks, Big Beard? If you succeed, I will delete a request."
Olive wants to see what he can do, "But there's no rope at home to drag the car." said Dave.
"Well okay, Big Beard, then next time, don't forget." Annie advised repeatedly.
Dave couldn't help sighing, "Oh, Annie, you are such a tough little guy and hard to get along with, I bet when you grow up, the guy who marries you will suffer a headache from you."
"That's not gonna happen, I'm not going to marry a coward who's going to get a headache from me." Although she was a little girl, her tone was very big.
"Wow, such a little girl has a big tone." Dave and others laughed.
Many years later, this matter would always be mentioned as a joke, Aniet really regreted what she said at that time, and other people laughed at her, which was not fair, because at that time, she was just a child understand nothing.
Back to now, Aniet's mother chose two of the dumplings, each of which quietly put a disinfected coin, Ivy ate one of them and noticed the coin inside.
It was said that if a person who eat the dumpling with the coin in it on New Year's Eve, he or she will be very lucky and happy in the new year.
Although it was superstitious, people were willing to put their wishes on dumplings with coins, which can also enhance the atmosphere of New Year's Eve.
So people around the table began to scramble for another dumpling with coin.
Xenia never knew there was such a funny thing, because in her home, the atmosphere was always depressed around the New Year, not like here, happy and interesting, she murmured, hoping she could got the last dumpling with coin inside, finally, she found the dumpling as expected and jumped up happily, "I got it, I got it, I got it, I am so lucky." said Xenia.
She was so excited that she repeated several times.
Olive could saw that what made Xenia happier was that she and Ivy had dumplings with coins inside. What a auspicious omen.
It was definitely a lively New Year's Eve, after dinner, everyone gave Annie the lucky money in a red pocket, and it was a lot of money, which embarrassed Olive because the money was really too much, but everyone just spoke with one voice to put an end to her embarrassment, "it's a blessing for Annie."
Annie, the girl who lost her father, was loved by so many people, and that made Olive felt happiness still exists.
When setting off fireworks, Olive looked at the gorgeous night sky and thought, "Alan, although I don't want to bless Ophelia, I do hope you can be happy."
