Huang Hongliang opened his sleepy eyes, and suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, he got up from the sofa, put on his slippers and went to the water machine to pick up a large jar full of water, and poured it down in one gulp.

He had never been so thirsty before, and it was only then that he realized that the meal at noon had been too salty.

Huang Hongliang, who was full of water, stretched his waist and walked lazily to the window to look at the sun outside in the west, it was time to prepare dinner again, but he was bored and had no appetite at all.

He had been at home for almost a day today, and now when the sun was setting, he suddenly felt the urge to go out for a walk.

He changed into leather shoes, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and brushed his hair in the mirror.

Because he was curled up on the sofa to sleep when he took a nap, he didn't have the heart to get up to find a pillow when he was sleepy, so he grabbed a few clothes and folded them and put them under his head.

When I looked in the mirror at this moment, I found that my face was marked by the folds of my clothes with two dark red marks, as if I had two faint scars on my face.

Huang Hongliang's face is not soft in the first place, coupled with his usual lack of smile, just from the perspective of appearance, it is easy to classify him as a type of person who is not good. Now these two faint marks on his face made his face look a little hideous.

He quickly wet the towel with hot water, pressed it on his face and rubbed it vigorously, trying to erase the two scar-like marks. But he didn't see any effect after rubbing it for a long time, his face was red, and the two marks were still faintly there.

He looked at the mirror carefully, and felt that it was not a big problem, and it was estimated that after more than half an hour, these marks would dissipate by themselves, after all, it was not a real scar.

After packing up, he locked the door and walked downstairs, thinking as he went: Where the hell are you going?

As soon as he walked out of the door of the unit, he heard someone greet him: "Lao Huang, why are you going?"

Huang Hongliang followed the voice and looked over, and saw three people sitting on the wall in the courtyard of the community, and the person who greeted him often saw him upstairs and downstairs, but people knew him, he didn't know others, he didn't know what unit they belonged to, and he didn't know who his surname was. The other two people should also be in this community, familiar with each other, but they haven't spoken much.

When people called him by name, he didn't want to ignore him, so he said, "Don't do anything, just come out for a walk." ”

The man was happy when he heard this, and grinned: "Then you came just in time, we are missing one of the three here, come here!"

When Huang Hongliang heard this, he was a little reluctant, and shirked and said, "What kind of mahjong are you playing this afternoon?"

The man said, "It's just entertainment, why bother when, anyway, you're fine, just come over and play two rounds." ”

Huang Hongliang thought about it, he went out so aimlessly, it was nothing more than wandering on the road, it was better to play mahjong with a few of them and have fun.

So he walked over and said, "Okay, do two rounds, do two rounds." ”

He walked over and sat down to take a look, the mahjong on the table was placed there, and the three people sitting at the table looked unfinished with a look of unfinished in their eyes.

Huang Hongliang thought to himself: No wonder they are not too familiar with a few of them, and they have to call themselves over to make up a number, it seems that a few of them are addicted, they can't stop at all, and they won't let anyone go.

Huang Hongliang asked, "What are the rules of your mahjong?"

The man who greeted him happened to be sitting opposite him, and when he heard him ask, the man said: "It's nothing special, it's the rules of local mahjong, push down and, 20 cards per person, a card counts as a dollar, and among the three people who lost, except for the one who lit the cannon is to lose two cards, the rest of the one loses one." ”

Huang Hongliang laughed after hearing this, and said: "The biggest win or loss is only 60 yuan, and the three of you dare to put up such a big battle in the courtyard? ”

The man on the other side said, "Hey, isn't this just to have fun and pass the time, we can't compare to you, the big boss, the car goes in and out." Besides, if you win or lose big, won't this nature change?"

Huang Hongliang used to be used to being lavish, and in recent years, the price of copper has risen all the way, and most of the entertainment outside is spent by customers with smiling faces to invite him, and there are few times when he asks others. So just now, when he heard that the overall win or loss of this mahjong game was only 60 yuan, he couldn't help but laugh a little dumbly.

But today is different, not a customer treat, and now he is no longer than before, after the divorce, he has a huge debt, most of the monthly salary and bonuses are taken to pay off the debt, and the hand is also very tight, if this mahjong wins or loses hundreds of thousands of dollars, it is estimated that he himself can't stand it.

But the three people on the mahjong table didn't know about his actual situation, just like the man said just now, everyone saw him usually driving the company's car in and out, and they all thought that he had a lot of money.

After listening to the words of the person opposite, Huang Hongliang himself also had a hard time. However, he was secretly glad that these people didn't know his actual situation, and in the eyes of outsiders, his boss's shelf was still there, which gave him a little comfort in his heart.

He took out a cigarette and walked around, and the person sitting next to him took the cigarette and looked at it, and said, "What the hell is the big boss, this cigarette is only two or three cards!"

Huang Hongliang's cigarettes are really not cheap, a pack costs dozens of yuan. However, these are all business cigarettes for the company, and a company manager of his level can receive several business cigarettes of this grade every month.

With Huang Hongliang's current economic situation, he has to pay off his debts and pay his son's child support with his monthly salary and bonus, and he can't afford to smoke such expensive cigarettes if he is asked to pay for such expensive cigarettes himself.

While talking, several people lit cigarettes and played mahjong in a loud voice.

First, Huang Hongliang's cards seem to be a little messy, and the left and right don't match. But after he carefully placed it, he found that the cards were not bad, and there were four small pairs in one hand.

The pairs of cards are red, eighty thousand, four and chicken, such cards if you dismantle and play something else, but to play a small seven pairs, and the hope of the card is still great.

Because one of the single cards is a blank slate, this card is generally rarely kept, and even if you keep it until the end, it is very possible to draw the cards by relying on it. In this way, you only need to ** two pairs to bid.

If you don't play like this, it is relatively easy to touch the red in the few cards that have been paired, but 80,000 and 4 of a kind are hot cards, and no one will easily play them, and it is more difficult to touch these two cards.

That is to say, the red can not be easily touched, the red touch, the small seven pairs can not be played, and the 80,000 and four of these cards do not match each other.

But if you want to play a small 7 pairs, only the last card can rely on others to light the cannon, and the rest have to rely on their own touch, which is actually not small.

Just as he was pondering how to choose, the opposite side was already playing cards: "Blank slate." ”

Before Huang Hongliang complained that the whiteboard on the other side was played too early, his upper family immediately came out with a red one.

This can give Huang Hongliang a problem, whether to eat or not?

After a little hesitation, after taking another look at the cards in his hand, he finally decided to play the small seven pairs.

He reached out and grabbed a card, picked it up and saw that it was 10,000. One of the single cards on his table is 20,000, and if he plays a small seven pair, this 10,000 is useless to keep, so he stretched out his hand and played out.

After another round, he reached out and grabbed an eighty-thousand. To stay or not to stay, Huang Hongliang made a difficulty: if this card is kept, if you still play a small seven pairs, a total of only 4 80,000, you now have three in your hand, the last one wants to be really Haidilao, it is more difficult to keep it and cards.

If you don't play the Little Seven team, then you can only start dismantling now. Just when he was entangled, the other side urged him: "Lao Huang, it's time for you to play cards." ”

Huang Hongliang thought to himself, this card can not be kept, and the probability of leaving a blank board and cards is greater than it. He put the cards on the table: "Eighty thousand." ”

Sure enough, in the next process, Huang Hongliang made a whiteboard, and now he has five pairs.

Huang Hongliang's boss asked him: "Old Huang, are you bidding?"

Huang Hongliang said: "No, it's still early." ”

His master said: "Then your cards are good enough, and 80,000 will be played casually." ”

Huang Hongliang smiled: "Listen to your tone, are you waiting for this card?"

His master said, "Yes, but my mouth is not long enough to eat." ”

Huang Hongliang said: "I think so, your mouth is really not long enough, you can't eat this card." ”

His boss said, "Not necessarily, only one has come out now, and there are three more." ”

Huang Hongliang joked: "The remaining three, the three of us can take one in each of our hands, so we won't play it, aren't you waiting in vain?"

His boss said: "I don't believe that I can't wait for an 80,000 yuan." ”

Huang Hongliang said: "You're definitely not bidding, right?"

His boss said, "Of course, otherwise I won't be able to eat your 80,000 yuan?"

Huang Hongliang said with a smile: "That's right, I still have two here, and the remaining one, unless it is played by your master, otherwise you still can't eat, don't wait, dismantle the cards." ”

His master didn't believe it: "Don't talk about it, if you still have two 80,000 cards in your hand, what are you doing with this one?" After speaking, he reached out and grabbed a card, took it in his hand and rubbed it vigorously, and slapped it on the table with a "snap" and said, "Four." ”
