Tang Yue's heart clenched. Her wish might only be half fulfilled. She simply couldn't stand those classes with students nodding and swaying their heads; she would fall asleep instantly.

So she scratched her head and said somewhat awkwardly, "Studying isn't for me, so I don't need to include my sister in this wish. Just tell me yours first."

Jun Lingmo firmly rejected Tang Yue's idea, "No, I want to go to school with Sister Yue."

"Ah, well... alright then," since the candle is fake anyway, half of it is fine too.

She'll just say it got damp and can only be half-realized; she's so clever.

Tang Yue took out a lighter, lit the candle, and placed it in front of Jun Lingmo. Jun Lingmo put his hands together and sincerely expressed his wish, then blew out the candle in one breath.

"Alright, I believe that our little Lingmo's wish will come true soon. Come on, let's go pick out some clothes. We're going out to eat together tomorrow, so we can't not dress up nicely."

"Wow, we're going out to eat together tomorrow? Is it the kind of meal we go to?" He had never been to a restaurant before.

Tang Yue chuckled and echoed Jun Lingmo, "Yes, it's the 'eating' in 'going to a restaurant'."

"That's great! After Sister Yue helps me pick out clothes, I'll help her pick out clothes too."

Tang Yue's mouth instantly tightened. Haha, no need for that.

She led Jun Lingmo back to the room, picking out clothes one after another, all of which she had worn and bought for Jun Lingmo.

Finally, she chose a light blue long robe.

Jun Lingmo looked like a little fairy, incredibly handsome.

As the last rays of sunlight faded and night fell, everyone drifted off to sleep.

Some people have wonderful dreams and keep smiling, while others have nightmares and can't stop crying.

Tang Yue and Jun Lingmo were having a wonderful dream; they were chewing their food like they were gnawing on a chicken leg.

Tang Yue lives in a town called Egg Town, named for its resemblance to an egg.

Meanwhile, on the commercial street in the center of town, a uniquely shaped shop was surrounded by a crowd.

The two strings of firecrackers hanging in front of the shop kept popping and crackling for a long time, making it look as festive as Chinese New Year.

Da Niu and Zhu Zi, each holding a gong, banged it loudly, "Come on, everyone, look this way! Today is the first day of our Bao Fu Mala Tang opening, and our boss is very happy!"

"Any customer with an interest can come and enter the lottery. The lucky winner will receive a free serving of spicy hot pot for seven coins, plus a free serving of broth. Anyone interested can come and try it."

Pedestrians on the street had never seen a restaurant offer free meals right after opening, so they asked, "Are you kidding us? What restaurant lets people eat for free?"

"My sir, you may not know this, but our boss is rolling in money, which is why he's giving it away for free today as we're opening."

"Besides, we're not saying we'll give it to everyone. I have a box here with a hundred slips of paper inside. The slips of paper list the rewards, which vary in size. Some give away free spicy soup, some give away broth, and there are also coupons for discounts, buy-one-get-one-free deals, cashback coupons, and other similar offers."

"There will be no blank slips of paper for those who draw them. Think about it, we usually spend five coins to eat a bowl of noodles. Today we are just drawing a prize. If we are lucky, we can get a free meal worth seven coins. Why not?"

“That makes sense. Anyway, I’m free today, so I’ll draw one first,” a man dressed in coarse linen clothes stepped forward and drew one.

Unfold the note and suddenly discover that he is illiterate.

Man: ...

"Excuse me, shopkeeper, could you take a look at this? What does it say here?"

Da Niu took the slip of paper and glanced at it, discovering that this big man had actually won a free serving of spicy hot pot worth seven coins. He was really lucky.

He and Zhu Zi had nothing to do last night, and it took them almost half an hour to draw this fortune stick.

He smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations, sir! You've won a free seven-copper-coin serving of spicy hot pot. Please come in; just take the slip of paper with you."

"Really...really?"

"Of course it's true. So many people are watching. Hurry up and go in, don't delay the people behind you from drawing the prize."

The burly man smacked his lips, then went inside with the note, satisfied.

Tang Yue pulled Jun Lingmo along, and like an eel, they slithered to the lottery box.

She said softly to Da Niu, "Uncle, can we participate in the lottery?"

Da Niu looked at his young boss and forced back the corners of his mouth, "Of course you can, young lady. You and this young master can both smoke."

Da Niu took the raffle box off the table and placed it in front of Jun Lingmo and Tang Yue.

Tang Yue and Jun Lingmo each drew a card and handed it to Da Niu, saying, "Uncle, can you help us see what we won?"

Da Niu glanced at it, and his eye twitched involuntarily. So it seemed that only he and Zhu Zi were unlucky.

"Uncle, what is it?" Actually, she saw it, but her current persona meant she couldn't read.

"Congratulations, you two young customers! Two free servings of spicy hot pot. Here, take the slip of paper and go inside."

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Lingmo. Come on, let's go inside first."

"Yes, Sister Yue."

Tang Yue called out to Tang Ruhua and Ling Yi, who were still pushing their way forward, "Mother, we're going in first, you two hurry up."

Jun Lingmo also said to Ling Yi, "Daddy, hurry up, let's go in and pick out the vegetables first."

"Okay, I know, Xiao Mo, hold Xiao Yue's hand tightly, don't let her get lost," Ling Yi said with a slight smile.

"Okay, Father."

Tang Ruhua muttered helplessly, "These two kids are really greedy."

Tang Yue led Jun Lingmo into the shop, picked out a lot of delicious food for him, and then picked out two large baskets full of food for Ling Yi and Tang Ruhua before obediently sitting on a chair and waiting for Ling Yi and Tang Ruhua.

Seeing that three people had won in a row, the people outside couldn't wait to step forward and draw a prize, and for a moment, the entire area outside the shop was filled with screams.

Passerby A: "Damn it, watch your step, you're going to step on someone!"

Passerby B: "Who is it? Can't you watch where you're going? You stepped in dog poop, it stinks!"

"Don't push, don't push, one at a time, let me finish first," a young man with decision-making difficulties spent a long time drawing from the box, but stubbornly refused to take his hand out.

Passerby C: "Hurry up and take it out, the people behind are waiting."

Passerby Ding: "Yeah, how long has that hand been in there? Why don't you take it out?"

The person next to the young man got impatient and simply reached out and lifted the arm out.

Da Niu snatched the note from his hand with lightning speed, opened it, glanced at it, and said loudly, "Congratulations, young master, one serving of spicy hot pot for seven coins. Please come in."

The young man was still in a daze when he heard him say, "I won! I won! Thank you, brother. I'll go in first." He bowed to the man who had pulled his arm and went inside.
