Chapter 18: Rushing to the Meeting (I)

On the eighth day of the third lunar month, this is a special day - the rally!

Adults are afraid of the meeting, and they have to spend a lot of money to catch the meeting, and children like to catch the meeting, a total of four times a year, and the far place may not be able to go, because you don't know if it is a weekend that day. It doesn't matter if you can't go far away, it's close, and it's near the school, even if it's not a weekend, it's fine, and you won't delay the meeting after school.

It just so happened that it was Saturday, so I was even more excited, and I was sorry for myself if I didn't have a good time. Some families are poor, so it would be good to give ten yuan, and those with wealthy families will give more, but it will not exceed thirty. But just like that, only ten yuan has to be deceived by the ring to take one or two dollars, (the ring is that the trader spreads a piece of red cloth on the ground, sprinkled with a dollar of coins, and uses a small plastic circle to set, and the set is his own, whether a dollar is seven circles or eight This cold soul forgot, but this thing is very pitiful, why?) The small circle will rebound, it's not that you want to set it up, pay attention to it, the set is the coin in the small circle, and the stick doesn't count) The ring depends on luck, sometimes you can aim at it but it's difficult to set it, but inadvertently lose it, but you can set it, and use a dime to exchange it for a dollar, this deal is really worth it, there are a lot of adults who also play this, and you can't get a set of seven or eight chances? It is too easy to make money, if you get 20 times in the set, it is almost a day's salary.

Most people have the psychology of taking advantage, and the elderly are no exception, anyway, they only know that they can only shake their heads and sigh and leave after spending a dollar, but they may still set next time. The set will continue to be set, and the set will be played several times at a time, so that the traders will make money, nonsense, if you don't make money and lose money, fools will do this. It's such a simple truth Lu Linghan understands when he is six years old, and those old people still believe that they can make money, Lu Linghan wants to laugh when he thinks about it: You live so old in vain, you still worship me as a teacher.

There are several kinds of rings, the above is to pay for money, and there are sets of things, all kinds of things, toys, household goods, anyway, there are a lot, but the circle used in such a ring is much larger, but compared to the things that are covered, this big circle is very small, how difficult it is to set it, but there are many people in the set, the people in the set are 190% earned, and the set will definitely lose miserably, but it can't cost a lot of money, three dollars at a time, so that people can also accept it, and the right to play is not in the set.

In addition to the ferrule, there is also a coin-operated game:

The vendors have five or six machines filled with coins (not money), most of which are expensive cigarettes (more than 20 yuan is already very expensive), and one machine has five coin slots, each of which can be moved from side to side. There are five platforms in the machine that move back and forth like drawers, each of which has a cycle of two seconds, and some of the platforms have coins and some do not, and some of the coins are also thrown in by the player. The player sees the right time to put the coin in the slot, and when the machine inside is about to stretch out, the hand puts the coin and slides down a small slot, if it falls on the platform, there is a chance to squeeze out something, if it falls under the platform, it can only be a coin in vain, and it is squeezed out again by someone else or himself.

When I was a child, Lu Linghan also played, but after playing once, I felt that it was very pitted, because it was not easy to squeeze, and the moving platform was not a layer of coins, but many layers, and the coins that were squeezed down by the partition of the platform would be squeezed under the thick layer of coins again, and it was difficult to squeeze out things and coins at all. So Lu Linghan played once and then stopped playing, his family was already poor, and he didn't get anything after playing once, but he was very disappointed and sad, it was really a tricky thing, although someone squeezed out coins and cigarettes, it was also the effect of the people in front of him paving the way for him.

In addition to playing most of the food, there is also the fact that every year when there is a meeting, there will be a troupe on stage to sing, but what makes Lu Linghan wonder is who invited the troupe? People can't sing it for you for nothing, and it's a day to sing. But the common people don't care so much, just listen to the play, don't care who invited him, anyway, don't pay out of your own pocket.

Thinking of eating, Lu Linghan unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth with a hint of curvature. I remember when I was a child, my father only gave him five yuan, and he bought it all, marshmallows, jelly beans, steamed buns, sugar porridge, spicy soup, melon seeds...... All kinds of delicious food, which is not usually available, and it is very cheap, you can eat one for a few cents. He didn't fall for those tricks, except that the coin investment cost a dollar, and he was originally going to be able to squeeze out a pack of cigarettes for his father to smoke, even if he sold them, who knew that he was fooled, and since then he has vowed not to play again, and he can't play it, because that was the last time he rushed to the meeting, and the next ten years were really foreign.

Recalling the past, Lu Linghan smiled, his innocence was unobtrusive on his face, at this moment he was a young man full of beautiful yearning, his innocent and lively temperament was revealed, he didn't have to disguise himself, he lived a real life.

Lu Lingyan doesn't think like his brother, although every time he plays it, he knows that it's a lie, but the temptation to play is too great, he can't care so much, let's play it first, as for the idea of regret, it's a matter after playing.

"Brother, I want to eat popcorn"

"Boss, come to ten" Lu Linghan said generously, of course he was generous, and he didn't want to pay for it himself, he had a dragon soul, what are you afraid of.

"Okay, but you have to wait for a while, you can't fry so much in one pot" The boss replied enthusiastically, ten copies, this is a big customer!

"Damn, you're quite willing, and I don't want you to pay," the dragon soul muttered quietly.

"What? Ling Fei, you don't want to eat, then the boss will bring me 9 servings" Lu Linghan's ears are smart, more than a cat's ears.

"No, I mean ten is not enough" The dragon soul hurriedly responded to Lu Ling Han, but he knew how thick this guy's face was.

After waiting for ten minutes, two pots of popcorn came out, Lu Lingyan's two copies, the dragon soul's portion, and the rest belonged to Lu Linghan, and he said: I'll keep it first, and I'll take it when it's not enough. But in less than five minutes, 7 servings of popcorn were solved by him.

"My day, are you from Africa?" said the dragon soul dissatisfied, this was the popcorn he bought out of his pocket, and he only ate one-tenth of it, and most of it was knocked out by this kid.

"If you want to eat, you can buy another ten servings, don't waste it if you can't eat it, with me, popcorn doesn't support people" Lu Linghan was still reminiscing about the taste of popcorn after eating, listening to the complaint of the dragon soul, and no longer blackmailing him, a little sorry for himself.

"I'm full......"

Lu Lingyan didn't know what these two living treasures were doing at all, she only knew that today was an unusual day, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it wasn't fun, it would be too sorry for herself, and she didn't have to worry about not having enough money.

"Brother, I want to play with rings"

"Don't say you think about it, what you want to play, what you want to eat, just say it, brother will settle the bill for you"

The dragon soul on the side really wanted to strangle Lu Linghan, why is this guy so shameless, he came out to invite his sister to spend without money, and he still charged a lot of money on the side, it's really shameless, no, he doesn't have a face at all!

"Boss, come for ten dollars"

The boss was stunned, it was the first time he had met such a generous guest for so many years, and a mouth was ten yuan, so what are you waiting for, hurry up and serve this master, this is a rare God of Wealth.

"Okay, okay, I'll count with you, 70, send you ten" The boss handed a large stack of small circles to Lu Linghan, and Lu Linghan glanced at it and felt that it was wrong.

"Isn't it 80? and 10 more."

"Six for one dollar, isn't it exactly seventy for ten"

No treachery, no business, this is Lu Linghan's first thought.

Divide 30 circles to Lu Lingyan, 20 each for himself and the dragon soul, and soon Lu Lingyan threw down more than a dozen circles, but none of them were in the trap, most of them were circled on coins, but this doesn't count, if you throw it away, it's the vendor's, if you want to throw it again, you can, take the money to buy it.

threw more than a dozen loops in a row and didn't hit it, Lu Lingyan was a little frustrated.

"Brother, why don't you throw it away?"

"Then you look at it, brother will give you a demonstration" Lu Linghan smiled slightly, with a slight force on his wrist, the small circle was thrown out, and it happened to hit a one-yuan coin, and there was no rebound.

"I've hit it," Lu Lingyan jumped up excitedly.

The boss was a little puzzled, why didn't he rebound? I didn't think much about it, anyway, it was not easy to set up, and in the end I earned it myself, maybe the land was tried, a little soft.

Then Lu Linghan threw out nineteen of them one after another, each of them hit, and some of them also hit two coins (the two coins were almost stacked on top of each other).

Looking at the boss's face again, it is all green, this is too pitiful, but now he is still losing himself, losing more than ten yuan, and the dragon soul and Lu Lingyan still have more than 30 circles in their hands. But you can't say that you can't let Lu Linghan trick it, in this case, who will patronize your business in the future.

"This young man's hand is really good at throwing, hehe" The boss praised Lu Linghan in his mouth, and he had already greeted Lu Linghan in his heart.

"You don't need to give me coins, just give me a 20 yuan bill" Lu Linghan looked at the boss with a smile, in the boss's opinion, this is the devil's smile, damn, you kid is too good at throwing it.

"Ling Fei, it's your turn, you can also give Ling Yan a demonstration" Lu Linghan looked at the dragon soul with a wicked smile, his eyes moved slightly, and motioned to the dragon soul not to show mercy and pick up those coins in the place.

The dragon soul didn't know Lu Linghan's thoughts, "Let's let Ling Yan set first, I don't know how to do it, I haven't learned the method you set just now."

As soon as the boss heard Longhu's words, his heart was much more stable, just now Lu Linghan's "You can also give Ling Yan a demonstration" scared the boss a lot, can this kid also be caught in the trap?

"Well, I'll try it too, and see if I can get it like my brother."

It must be luck that you can get it, Lu Linghan and the dragon soul thought at the same time.

The remaining dozen laps were quickly thrown down, but only one was hit.

"Alas, my luck is not good, I am not as powerful as my brother" Lu Lingyan said discouragedly, but it was not bad, at least one more than last time. Then he turned his head to the dragon soul and said, "Ling Fei, it's your turn"

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to set it well, so let's let Ling Han come," the dragon soul pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"Look at what this little brother said, what is the ring diagram? The picture is fun, right, they have both played, you don't regret not playing" The boss said hurriedly, hearing the dragon soul say that he wanted to throw the ring to Lu Linghan, so what did he do.

"Are you sure?" the dragon soul looked at the boss playfully.

"Ling Fei, let's have fun, it doesn't matter if you can't escape or not, just like the boss said, the picture is to have fun"

Listening to Lu Linghan's words, the boss was relieved, looked at Lu Linghan with grateful eyes, and thought to himself that you had finally done a good deed, but the next thing made him have the urge to die.

"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey, I'll try, don't blame me if I don't get it"

"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" threw down twenty small circles in a row, the dragon soul was not as gentle as Lu Linghan thrown, each small circle seemed to be aimed at the target, and flew down powerfully, falling in a straight line, and each circle was at least two coins.

The boss's eyes widened, he didn't believe this scene in front of him, the scene in front of him could be described as spectacular, a group of people had already gathered around when Lu Linghan was in the ring, and after the dragon soul was thrown, everyone was talking about who this is, so powerful, and some also said, "Dude, I want to worship you as a teacher"

"How is this possible?!You must be cheating, how can you be caught in the trap" The boss cried in the last sentence.

"If you don't cheat, everyone's eyes are bright" Lu Linghan looked at the boss with a smile, and the boss once again thought that this was the most terrible smile in the world, more terrible than the devil!

If Lu Linghan knew what they thought, he would definitely scold: Have you ever seen such a gentle devil in the fuck!

"Why do you say that people are cheating?"

"yes, we're all watching."

"How to cheat in a circle, you're fucking sick!"

"If you can't afford it, don't show it here!" (a shameful abbreviation, which also belongs to our dialect)

The power of the masses is huge, and when everyone says this, the boss can only obediently take the money, and his heart is dripping blood without taking out a banknote.
