Chapter 1909 - Struck Lottery (2/2)

But now, Lin Liye also became so lively.

Lu Man smiled really happily and just stuffed one whole dumpling into her mouth.

Yet the moment she ate it, her expression froze.

Han Zhuofeng burst out laughing. “It can’t be that your luck is so good that you got it on your first bite?”

Lu Man swallowed the dumpling with difficulty. It was really like what Han Zhuofeng said. She got it on the first bite.

“I didn’t expect it either. I thought the chances of it was so small, so my luck couldn’t be so good.” Lu Man did not know whether to cry or laugh when she said that. “I wonder if the lottery booth is open on the first day of Chinese New Year. I think I can go and buy some.”

“Hahahaha, how does it taste like?” Old Mrs. Han asked curiously.

“Erm… it’s not too bad.” Lu Man tasted it carefully in her mouth. “The spicy strip isn’t as salty as before since it’s been cooked. It’s probably partially absorbed by the dumpling skin. But it’s not exactly delicious.”

“The only dumpling with the spicy strip had been eaten by you. The spicy strip looks red and fiery, so I wish you have a red and fiery year ahead this year,” Lin Liye said, smiling.

“Many thanks, Auntie,” Lu Man quickly said.

After they ate a few more dumplings, Lu Man’s phone rang.

Usually, people did not send text messages or made calls to wish someone a happy new year.

Especially for young people. In this era where people used chatting software, most people would just mindlessly mass-forward the new year well-wishes messages they received from other people to their own chat groups.

This kind of mission-completing style of wishing people a happy new year was very meaningless.

When Lu Man received such messages, she would just ignore them and not reply.

And the people who would send such things happened to be those people whom she did not contact often.

As for the people she contacted often, even if she only said a simple “Happy New Year,” it would be enough to show her sincerity.

Lu Man also sent her New Year well-wishes to Zheng Yuan and the girls, as well as to Sun Yiwu, Ji Cheng, Lu Dongliu, who always took care of her, and to other people whom she had worked with before and got along quite well with.
