Marriage Counselor (Part II) Zhang Baotong

The recreation mahjong hall is on the first floor of the east household of a building in the northern suburbs of the railway community, and there is a big signboard of the recreation mahjong parlor hanging in front of the door. At about half past seven o'clock in the evening, when the sky was still bright, Wu Qian walked by the window next to him and heard the shuffling sound of the mahjong machine. Wu Qian thought that the more quiet it was in the dead of night, the louder the sound of the mahjong machine shuffling, I really didn't know if the surrounding neighbors could endure it all year round.

Wu Qian came to the door of the mahjong hall and saw that the door was open, and the light inside could be seen through the bamboo curtain. He lifted the curtain and entered the house. The living room of the house was full of three mahjong machines, while the next hut had only one mahjong machine. Because there are a lot of smokers in the house, the smell of smoke is very strong, and some are choking. As soon as Wu Qian entered the house, he began to sneeze constantly.

At this time, a woman in her forties came out of the big bedroom, saw Wu Qian enter the house, and asked, "Do you want to play mahjong?"

Wu Qian said, "If you don't play mahjong, why are you here?"

The woman went into the hut and pulled her husband up, "Get out of the way, there's a guest." ”

The man finished playing a handful of cards, got up and said to Wu Qian, "Master, you come and play." With that, he counted twenty chips and placed them on the table. They played a price of five and ten yuan, and those twenty chips were one hundred yuan. Wu Qian used to play mahjong in the newspaper office, and since he joined the Gucheng Marriage Consulting Company, he has rarely played mahjong again, but only played a few games with his brothers and sisters when he returned to his hometown during the Chinese New Year. One is the hand, mainly because the luck is not good, just sit at the table for a while, twenty chips were lost, and the boss had to bring another hundred yuan in chips.

It is Sichuan mahjong played here, there is no wind, you can't eat, you can only touch and bar. At the beginning, Wu Qian had a few hands of the Hu card without Hu, because the Hu card could only win 5 yuan. He wanted to touch the bomb so that he could win 30 yuan in one hand. Maybe this mahjong didn't want him to touch the bomb, but instead of touching the bomb himself, he released a beard to others. Therefore, after he is suspended, as long as others let him win. And this mahjong machine is also strange, whoever wins the card will keep letting him win, who if the luck is not good, even if the early stop Hu can not be Hu, but to others to put Hu. When the stall closed at 12 o'clock, Wu Qian lost 185 yuan.

After playing mahjong two or three times in the Kangle Mahjong Parlor, Wu Qian became familiar with the owner of the mahjong parlor. The mahjong parlor started at seven o'clock in the evening, and that night, Wu Qian came at six o'clock, and at that time, the boss and the proprietress were eating in the living room. Wu Qian sat at the mahjong table and waited for the night to start, while chatting with the boss and the proprietress casually.

Wu Qian said to the boss, "I heard that you have a person named Dong Laishun here who plays mahjong well, and he won't lose if he wins." ”

The boss immediately said, "Don't listen to him brag, he used to play cards with me, love to play ten yuan and twenty yuan with others, losing cards is also a common thing, once lost more than a thousand, the money on the body is lost, so he ran out and borrowed another thousand yuan from others, came back and continued to play, and lost more than five hundred." ”

Wu Qian asked, "Why haven't I seen him come over these few times, I really want to learn from him." ”

The boss said, "I don't know why, I haven't seen him come over recently, and his wife came here to look for him some time ago." Then, he asked, "Are you familiar with him?"

Wu Qian said, "I am somewhat familiar, I remember a young woman who always played cards with her. ”

The boss said, "That woman seems to be from Changwu's side." ”

Wu Qian immediately said, "You know where she is now, I want to find her, she played cards and borrowed a few hundred yuan from me and hasn't paid it back." ”

The proprietress said to Wu Qian, "She used to work as a nanny in the community, but she left a long time ago." Her name is Xiuqin. ”

Wu Qian asked again, "Do you know where she lives?"

The proprietress said, "She used to live in the master's house, but I don't know where she moved, she hasn't been here to play cards for more than three months." Some people said that they had seen her on the side of Fengcheng Ninth Road. However, I have her mobile phone number here. As he spoke, he took out a record book and showed it to Wu Qian. The record book contains the phone numbers of some of the people who often come to play cards, as well as some records of credit and repayment. Wu Qian flipped through the record book and searched for it, and found Xiuqin's name and phone number. This phone number is the same as the one given to him by Ms. Peng.

Wu Qian returned the record book to the proprietress and asked, "I heard that Dong Laishun has a very unusual relationship with that woman." ”

The boss said, "The two of them have been eyebrowning for a long time, but everyone pretended not to see it." Later, I heard that some people said that they saw the two of them coming out of the hotel, and others said that they saw them walking together arm in arm at Lantian Hot Spring Resort. Moreover, since Xiuqin left, Dong Laishun has not come here to play cards much anymore. That day, his wife came to him and said that he hadn't been home for half a month. I think he probably lives with Xiuqin. ”

Wu Qian thought for a while and said, "Xiuqin's person is not married, right?"

The proprietress said, "I don't know, anyway, I see her alone all day long, but I see that she is at least twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and a woman of this age has two or three children in the countryside." ”

The boss also said, "If it's a big girl who is not married, why will she follow Dong Laishun all day long? In my opinion, it is impossible for her not to be married. ”

At this time, Fan Lisha called, Wu Qian hurriedly ran outside the house to answer, Fan Lisha asked, "Where are you?"

He said, "I'm in the northern suburbs railway community, what's the matter?"

Fan Lisha said, "I have two movie tickets here, and I want to invite you to watch a movie. ”

Wu Qian said, "I'm sorry, I'm busy and can't go." ”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Qian returned to the house and said to the boss, "I'm sorry, there is an urgent matter at home, I have to go back, and I won't be able to call tonight." ”

The boss said, "It's okay, I'll come back when I'm free." ”

Wu Qian came to the light in front of a shop in the community, opened the record book and checked, today was the time for Dong Laishun to be on duty, so he stood under the tree in the community and called the woman named Xiuqin.

The phone was connected, and he said, "You're Xiuqin, right?"

The other person asked, "Who are you?"

Wu Qian said, "I am a friend of yours and have played mahjong together in the Kangle Mahjong Parlor. ”

Xiuqin said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Yes, what's your name?"

Wu Qian said, "You may not remember my name, but when you see me, you must know me." ”

Xiuqin asked, "Do you have something to do with me?"

Wu Qian said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to invite you to a meal and talk casually." ”

Xiuqin said, "That's just right, I haven't had dinner yet, but do you want to treat me to mutton steamed buns or cold rice noodles?"

Wu Qian said, "I don't like to eat any of these, why don't I treat you to a big meal?"

Xiuqin asked, "Where is it?"

Wu Qian said, "You said, it's better to be closer to where you live, otherwise, it's too inconvenient for you to come out and take the car." ”

Xiuqin thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to Defu Ji, okay?"

Wu Qian said, "Okay, where is it?"

Xiuqin said, "It's on Fengcheng 9th Road, not far from Sports City Park. Otherwise, you go to the intersection of Fengcheng 9th Road, and I will wait for you at the intersection. ”

Wu Qian said, "You wait, I'll drive over immediately." ”
