Chapter 22: A Splash

When the copper coin gently fell into the copper box, the dinging sound made me feel a little incredible, I didn't expect it to be so accurate.

"Young man, do you believe in fate?" said the old woman with a smile.

"I don't know, I didn't think about that." I scratched my hair and said.

After listening, the old woman smiled and nodded, although there were many wrinkles on her face, but wearing a hat, she also looked a little mysterious.

"Wow, Chen An, you threw it very accurately, what is this for?" Tang Ning held two strings of sugar gourds, looking a little curious.

I smiled helplessly, shrugged my shoulders, and looked at the old woman.

The old woman pressed the next button, and the slightly quaint copper box slipped down, and she took out a copper coin with a special symbol inside, and wrapped it in a red and yellow, slightly quaint paper.

The coin was much larger than the one-dollar coin we were using, and it was wrapped and placed in the palm of my hand.

"Young man, give this copper coin to the person you like, God will bless your pious love, and may the blessings you have cultivated in ten lifetimes and ten lifetimes can be turned into a life of true love." After saying that, the old woman closed her eyes and muttered something in her mouth.

Although I don't understand, but I feel like this thing is quite interesting, it seems to be pretty good, and this old woman is really mysterious, dressed in black, wearing a black hat, a bit like a wizard's hat, really, maybe it is a prop that makes people trust her more, right?

Thinking so, I stared at the paper-wrapped copper coin in my hand, which was kind of interesting.

"Chen An, it turns out that you believe in this kind of superstitious thing." Just now, Tang Ning had been watching from the side, and when she saw me holding this copper coin, she smiled.

"Ah...... I'll throw a fun one at random, what kind of marriage, it's all one-sided." I smiled.

After listening, Tang Ning's eyes flickered when he stared at my copper coin, and suddenly handed me two strings of sugar gourds: "Chen An, you take it, I'll also go and try a few."

......

"Hey, didn't you just say you wanted to go back quickly, isn't it good to go back late?" I said helplessly.

"Just for a minute! Downing looked serious.

Seeing her stubborn but slightly naïve side, I also smiled helplessly, and put up a stupid tablemate, hey.

Tang Ning bought ten copper coins in one go, and threw them into the copper box one by one, but the result was either biased or high, and almost none of the copper coins touched the edge of the copper box.

"Hey, why is it so hard to vote." Tang Ning looked very depressed, with an aggrieved expression.

I touched her hair angrily: "Okay, Sister Tang, hurry home, if you don't go back, your father will have to ask me!"

"No! I'm casting one last time!" Downing said, looking at me with a determined look in his eyes.

.......

"Okay, it's a matter of luck to vote for this thing, if you vote for dozens of them, you will be counted as one, is that accurate?" I couldn't help but pout.

"I want one too, this thing might be very smart." Downing straightened his jeans and said.

After listening, I reluctantly took her hand: "This copper coin is given to someone who is destined, you said that you don't even have a boyfriend, and you don't have anyone you like, what's the use of asking for this coin?"

"Well, I'll give you mine, I'll keep it anyway?" I pulled my copper coin out of my pocket and placed it in the palm of her hand.

"You really gave it to me?" Tang Ning looked a little happy when he saw the copper coin in his palm.

"That's not it, I'll give it to you, just a copper coin, I'm not rare, and I have many more in my family." I smiled, took her hand and hurried back.

Tang Ning glared at me after hearing this, but when she saw the copper coin in her hand, she looked very happy, and she was still smiling, which was her trademark smile, which made people feel very warm.

After going back, Tang Ning's father was already waiting at the door with the people from his hometown, there is a courtyard in the local area, and there is a custom of holding a banquet in the courtyard, and various local dishes are also endless.

When Tangning's father saw us, he still had that serious face: "Where have you been, why did you come back so late."

"Dad, I'm bored, and then let Chen An go out with me for a walk, okay?" Tang Ning winked at her dad.

And Tang Ning's grandparents and relatives also laughed, and Tang Ning's grandmother also blamed Tang Ning's father for being too serious or something, saying that Tang Ning was a good child.

"Did you hear me, I'm still a kid." Downing said playfully to me.

......

"You're eighteen, and in my hometown, some women are eighteen mothers." I said helplessly.

"You're going to die!" Tang Ning glared at me fiercely after hearing this, and stopped talking to me.

I smiled helplessly, and Grandma Tangning also asked me: "Hey, I forgot to ask when I'm old, who is this young man?"

Downing's father helped me reply: "Oh, he is the child of a relative over the child's mother's side, and the two children have a good relationship, let's play together."

Seeing that her father's face was not red and his heart was not beating, I thought to myself that I could really say it.

"Oh, yes, the lad is a talent." Grandma Downing is still very kind, and she is quite welcome when she speaks.

"Thank you grandma". I smiled too.

There are still a lot of relatives in Tangning's hometown, and the relationship seems to be good, when I was at home, there were many relatives, but they were all very mean, there were many of the seven aunts and eight aunts, but the human touch was very light.

Sitting on the chair and looking at the dishes on the table, I still feel a little homesick, in this Mid-Autumn Festival family reunion.

Downing sat in his chair, his eyes sparkling as he kept looking at the copper coin.

"As for it, it's just a copper coin." I said helplessly.

After listening, she flattened her mouth and put it away: "Chen An, you are so stupid."

Ahh

At this time, a chubby boy came over, about the same age as me, holding a gift box in his hand: "Sister Tangning, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember me, your grandmother's sister's third aunt's son and daughter-in-law's own brother!"

"Well, I think I saw you a few years ago, and I have a little impression." Tang Ning looked a little embarrassed, as if he knew.

"Well, that's not it, we're really related, I'm a year older than you, the last time you came, I saw that you were beautiful, it's an honor to have such a beautiful sister as you." The chubby young man smiled.

I was stunned from the sidelines, I was a little speechless, how could I become a real relative because of this relationship that couldn't be beaten by a few strokes?

"By the way, I know you're coming, I bought a watch for you, I think this watch is especially in line with your temperament, you said that you are a girl in the city, you have a good tutor, a good temperament, don't dislike my brother." The chubby boy looked a little shy, but still put the gift box on the table.

"Don't dislike it...... But forget about this watch, only couples send watches, I don't accept it, I have a boyfriend." Tang Ning directly refused.

After listening to this, the chubby boy's face immediately changed, and it became ugly, which was a feeling of heartbreak.

"Ahh......h No, be careful of being deceived, there are many bad people these days, and there are not many like your brother!" the chubby boy had a sad expression on his face.

"Well, I know, forget about the watch, I don't like to wear a watch". Downing looked a little impatient.

I've been watching, I know Downing is lying, she probably doesn't like this watch.

But Downing's father was at the same table with a few cousins or something, and after seeing it, Downing's father said: "Okay, Downing, people kindly gave it away, you can take it."

After listening, Tang Ning glanced at her father unhappily, and then reluctantly accepted the watch: "Hmm..... Thank you."

"It's okay! Seeing that she accepted the watch, the chubby boy was so happy that he was as if he had taken a stimulant, and his face was flushed.

I was quite speechless: "Tang Ning, you big cousin, are you okay?"

"Hey, annoying, I knew he was going to give me a gift, two months ago, I asked QQ every day what I liked, if it weren't for everyone's face, I wouldn't accept it!" Tang Ning casually put the delicate box aside.

I was a little helpless: "Don't you take a look?"

"You tear it down". Downing said.

And when I opened the package, I saw a delicate women's watch lying in the box: "Oh, this watch is beautiful, don't you want to take a look?"

"Hmph, do you believe it's definitely a copycat?" Tang Ning shook his head, obviously distrustful.

Seeing that she didn't like it, I also put it aside, hey, whatever, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I can't go home, just eat and drink enough!

It was about seven o'clock in the evening when they were full, but those relatives were still drinking, and it was estimated that it would not end at nine o'clock.

I walked around the neighborhood with Downing, and saw an empty lake in front of me, so I took a deep breath: "It's still a little cold this night, why don't you go back?"

.....

Tang Ning suddenly took the watch from my hand that the chubby boy had given him.

Taking out her watch and looking at it, she nodded: "This watch seems to be real, I know this."

After listening, I nodded: "Isn't that a good thing, it's okay to wear Daibei, why lie to him that you have a boyfriend, his expression is very hurt, okay?"

Tang Ning also smiled, obviously the boy's expression just now was too funny.

"You don't know, some people you don't say ruthlessly, he will get an inch, maybe you don't know me very well, before I came to this school, I only did what I liked, and I didn't like it, say it." Downing said, staring at the lake.

"Oh, you have such a big temper." I laughed.

After listening, Tang Ning put the watch into the gift box, and suddenly reached out and threw it at the lake, and a beautiful splash splashed on the calm lake........
