"Hahahaha, my luck is off the charts today!"
In the evening, Chen Yan returned to the shop. She had just stepped through the door when she started telling Shu Yun, face full of excitement, about how lucky she'd been today.
Every scratch-off lottery ticket she bought had a prize. She spent five hundred yuan on scratch-offs and scratched out twenty to thirty thousand. After that, she went to claw machines, raffles, the basketball-shooting game—she swept them all.
"You didn't see it— I emptied three claw machines. Those little kids were so jealous their snot was bubbling, kept praising how awesome this auntie was. I got so happy I gave all the dolls I grabbed to them, and they immediately changed how they called me and started shouting 'big sister'… Kids these days have seriously high emotional intelligence."
After she finished, she scooped up Dundun in her arms:
"Little baby, is Auntie's good luck today thanks to that little pat from you? Thank you, Auntie is very happy."
