Returning from the metropolis of Shenzhen, it is called returning home.

People who work in Shenzhen, who have made some money, will try their best to ask for some leave, and no matter how many days they are stuck in traffic on the road, they will drive their cars back to the homes of relatives and friends to show off their prestige and feel their praise.

If you don't make any money, you can only find an excuse that you can't go back, and you won't be able to grab a ticket this year!

If you don't make any money outside for a year, you haven't gone home after seeing the New Year, and most of those who go home have made money.

On that day, Wang Shiyi followed behind his mother, crossed a green hill, and arrived home.

In winter, it was cold outside, but the home was warm, and a group of people were surrounding the table of the Eight Immortals in his house, while roasting the charcoal fire in the fire pit, while happily playing the "running beard", which was quite popular in the area of Chungcheng, relying on this ancient game, people passed the boring time in the mountains.

Usually play the beard card to gamble some money to be exciting, the old people in this village, who do not regard money as more important than life, they are from two cents can buy a popsicle in that era, so they play a dime a hand of cards, Hu back, earn a dime, although the gambling money is small, but they play happily, reluctant day and night.

"Xiao Qi!

"Huh, Huh!"

"Alas, one card is a red card!"

There was a constant sound of excitement coming from the side of the Eight Immortals' table.

"If you lose a dime, you only have a ten-dollar ticket in your hand, if you can't find it, I'll take credit first. "It's the voice of Wang 11 and 2 uncles, his card skills are not good, often lose, but he loves this line, can reach the realm of forgetting to sleep and eat, fortunately, a dime a hand of cards, a day to win or lose within a few dollars, even so, after the end of the home, the second uncle and his daughter-in-law will also find him to quarrel, the sound is as sad as the rural slaughtering pigs, often make a yard, chickens fly and dogs jump.

"Do you want to scare people when you take a 10-yuan ticket? I don't believe in this evil, take it, I'll find you a scatter, you can't pay for playing cards, who will play with you! One cent, two cents, three cents......" An old man smoking dry tobacco in the next village raised his head to look at the ten-dollar bill dangling in the air, took out a pile of change from his pocket, put down the cigarette stick, stuck a little saliva with his fingers, and carefully counted the money.

Wang Shiyi's second uncle took the scattered money and said, "It's not that you don't give it on credit, what are you worried about?"

"Hehe, you owe me a dime, I can't sleep in the middle of the night, I'm such a weird character, you have the ability to win this big ticket of ten yuan in my hand. The old man who smoked dry cigarettes had already picked up the cigarette stick on the table, and while smoking, he stimulated the other party with the smell of gunpowder.

If it's just a "running beard", after a long time, everyone will lose interest, just like you eat chicken every day, you will be bored, but in this entertainment, money games are added, verbal wars are added, and the cheers of the surrounding spectators come out, and it becomes a table full of Han, which makes people want to stop every day.

Wang Xiuhe ran into the house at this time, went to make sugar boiling water, people can play cards from home, that is a guest, she finished making tea, and hurriedly served it to those who played "running beard".

"It's still my sister-in-law who is virtuous, if you don't serve tea again, my mouth will dry up. Uncle Wang Shiyi said while picking up the tea and drinking it, but his eyes kept staring at the cards in his hand, and the tea accidentally fell into his nostrils, coughing and coughing several times, causing everyone to laugh "hahaha".

"When did you learn to drink water through your nose?"

"He's learning about elephants, and elephants drink water with their trunks. ”

At this time, Wang Shiyi's mobile phone suddenly sang, and he took it off his belt, and when he saw it, it was the number of the cunning brother.

"Hey, brother, it's very lively over there!" said the cunning brother on the phone, and after thousands of miles, he clearly heard the sound of everyone beating their beards.

"I'm bored, watching others 'run the beard'!" replied Wang Shiyi.

"You're looking, why don't you play a few hands? You don't play cards, so are you free now?"

"Available. "Wang Shiyi is very strange, you asked me in Shenzhen if I have time to do something? Can I fly over and have a few drinks with you? Could it be that the cunning brother is back?

"Wang Shiyi, if you have time, come over and help immediately!" the cunning brother begged eagerly.

"Brother cunning, don't be joking, you won't let me fly over, it's thousands of miles away from Chungcheng to Shenzhen. Wang Shiyi smiled, he thought that the cunning brother was joking.

"I drove back from Shenzhen, and I was about to get home, and my car is now stuck in the mud puddle of Turtle Ridge and has stalled, and I can't move, so you come and help me push the cart." Brother Cunning pleaded.

"Did you buy a car?" Wang Shiyi didn't believe his ears at all.

The cunning brother is a general worker, 800 yuan a month, he has been back for more than a year, where did he make so much money? Could it be that he won the welfare lottery? Impossible, the lottery won the jackpot, unless the sun came out of the west!

Brother Cunning, you're blowing up your cowhide! You must be asking me to go over there to play!

"Yes. Even if the cunning brother answered in the affirmative, Wang Shiyi was still skeptical.

"Wait, I'll be there shortly. After Wang Shiyi finished speaking, he walked into his yard and pushed the motorcycle out.

"It's so late, where are you going?" said her mother, Wang Xiuhe, who was very sensitive, and shouted at her son.

"Jiang Hua drove back, and the car got stuck on Turtle Ridge, so I asked him to help him push the cart. Wang Shiyi shouted loudly.

As soon as Wang Xiuhe heard that Jiang Hua was driving back, he immediately climbed into the back seat of his son's motorcycle, and the mother and son ran towards Turtle Ridge, all the way were muddy roads, and there was standing water from time to time, so the road was slippery.

When they arrived at Turtle Ridge in a hurry, they saw a tall man in a black leather coat, a pair of dark green glasses on the bridge of his straight nose, a cigarette in his mouth, and leaning on the body of the car.

"Is that Jiang Hua?" Wang Xiuhe saw Jiang Hua from afar.

"Let's go over and have a look!" Wang Shiyi couldn't believe it, the cunning brother didn't wear glasses before.

At this time, the tall man shook his hand at them and shouted, "Wang Eleven, Wang Eleven!"

That's right, that person is Brother Cunning!

"Yo, it's pretty good to mix outside, I haven't seen you for a year, not only have you gained weight, but you've also driven your own car. Wang Shiyi parked the motorcycle next to the cunning brother and said.

"You are also very comfortable at home, the air in Chungshan is much fresher than in Shenzhen!" said the cunning brother, moving his nose a few times.

"The air at home is good, and there is no money to make!" Wang Shiyi sighed.

"Where's your girlfriend? so beautiful, you are so face-saving that you left her alone to work in Shenzhen, and now she must have run away with the big boss." Brother Cunning shook his head and sighed.

"We have broken up peacefully. Wang Shiyi said.

"Look at you, Jiang Hua, you were born to be the boss's material, where can Wang Shiyi compare with you, not even your little thumb. Wang Xiuhe jumped down from the back seat of the motorcycle, wiped the mud on the rubber shoes with paper, raised his head, and said with a smile.

"Auntie, although the world of Shenzhen is wonderful, it is not all gold and silver mountains, there are also barren mountains and wild mountains, and there are even many pits and traps in it, if you want to make money, it is not easy, and you have to rely on your own skills to eat. Brother Cunning sighed.

"Brother Cunning is really capable. Wang Shiyi said complimentally, thinking that this cunning brother hadn't seen him for a year, he spoke much deeper, and he opened his mouth to rely on his ability to eat, and now that he has bought a car, isn't he just boasting that he has ability?

"Where, in our Shenzhen, the bosses all drive Mercedes-Benz BMWs, and they don't look down on my little Japanese Toyota. The cunning brother said, he especially said that Shenzhen is our Shenzhen, as if he intended to draw a clear geographical boundary with Wang Shiyi.

"Although the Japanese devils are hateful, but their Toyota cars are very good, we only have big officials and big bosses here can afford to drive this kind of car, the average small boss can only drive a domestic car, you have a good life, you were born to be a boss to make a fortune. When Wang Xiuhe spoke, her eyes kept staring at the car next to her.

"Auntie, my car is a good fart, I only bought it for two months, you see the power is so virtuous, such a small pit on the ground can't be washed away, I'm afraid that after a few years of warranty period, I can't afford to pay the expensive repair fee." The cunning brother said, and when he said this, he clearly felt a kind of pride.

Wang Shiyi also took a closer look at the car, except that the paint on the outside was brand new, through the glass window, he saw that the interior inside was already very old, and the sofa seats were broken, revealing the aging sponge inside.

"Come on, come on, take a look at it, help push a cart and try it. The cunning brother beckoned Wang Shiyi with his hand.

"Okay, you get in the car and start the car. Wang Shiyi said.

The cunning brother got into the car and started the car, his car was a manual wave, so he put the gear in neutral position, the mother and son were behind the butt of the car, shouting the slogan "Come on!", and together they pushed the Toyota car at the same time, only to feel the "whoosh", the car rushed out of the mud puddle with high spirits, and the wheels stirred up mud, splashing mercilessly on his and the mother and son's faces and clothes.

"Thank you, auntie, thank you old classmates for your help!" said the cunning brother as he parked the car and drove away.

"Brother Cunning, your car is good, the big Japanese car, whoosh!" Wang Shiyi said.

"The quality of my car is not bad, in the first month, when you have a car, just say it, I will be there and be a groom for you. Cunning said.

"Jiang Hua, don't be so polite!" Wang Xiuhe said.

"I'll go back first, and I'll come to the door tonight to thank you in person!" the cunning brother dropped such a sentence, slammed the accelerator, and ran away.

Looking at the Toyota car that was pulling a butt of blue smoke away, the mother and son came back to their senses for a long time, and at this time, Wang Xiuhe found that his son was a sludge face, so he said to him strangely: "Son, you put on makeup today and wore a yellow dog face shell." ”

"Mom, you wear it too. Wang Shiyi also replied to her strangely.

On the way home, Wang Xiuhe sat behind her son, silent, and all the way, only the monotonous sound of the motorcycle engine and the melodious chirping of the occasional white bird that slipped down and passed by floated in the sky.
