Lu Tao didn't react for a while, because his mobile phone didn't have a caller ID function.

In front of so many relatives, it is not very convenient to answer the phone, not that he is afraid of people hearing something, but he really can't stand the gossip of these people. If you know that it is a woman calling, you will have to ask questions for a while.

He stood a little farther away with the phone before saying, "Happy holidays." ”

"Is it fun at home?" Yan Chunjiao asked with a smile.

"That's it, what about you?" Lu Tao asked rhetorically.

"I'm fine. A coquettish laugh came from the phone. Speaking of which, Lu Tao was still a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Yan Chun to call him at all.

At this time, there are not many students with mobile phones, and even some teachers still use BP machines, let alone students. So on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he just called some customers with phone numbers to greet the New Year and greet, which can be regarded as guest maintenance. As for the classmates, except for his roommate Zhang Jian, several other landlines are very troublesome, so they haven't been contacted for the time being.

With Yan Chun is now an ordinary classmate, there are not many topics to talk about, talking about family life, talking about some interesting things during the New Year, and when it comes to the end, Lu Tao can't help but take the initiative to ask: "When are you going to school?"

"I'll leave on the ninth day of the first month, what about you?" Yan Chun asked.

"I'm far away here, I guess I'll have to go out on the eighth day of the new year, doesn't it mean that the eighth day of the new year is good? “

"How are you and your girlfriend?" Yan Chun asked about the phone on the other end of the phone.

Lu Tao replied directly: "It's a breakup." “

"Huh?" came a voice of surprise.

Lu Tao didn't want to talk about it, so he made an understatement: "The emotional thing is like this, what's surprising." ”

"Well, too, haha, just find one at school when the time comes. Yan Chun didn't give a comforting word, but said with a smile, which was quite in line with her optimistic attitude.

The two chatted a few more times before hanging up.

"Tao'er, who called, didn't you talk about your girlfriend at school?" Mother has always remembered this matter, even if Lu Tao deliberately ran to a distance to call, it still couldn't stop her curiosity.

"Yes, brother, is it my sister-in-law calling? Isn't it beautiful?" For this kind of thing, the gossip is particularly strong, and her sister Lu Lan also came over and looked at her brother with a sly wink.

"Sister-in-law, school is about to start, you have to go home early and finish your homework. Lu Tao made a straight face and said directly.

"Hmph, don't say it, don't say it, my brother is so stingy. “

Lu Tao ignored her, walked straight to her father, sat down again and asked, "Dad, how is your luck?"

Lu Dayou had a smile on his face and looked extremely happy: "I won more than a hundred." “

"Yes, Dad. Lu Tao looked at his aunt whose face was like the bottom of a pot, and secretly laughed in his heart.

The time of the three rounds passed quickly, and it was already said before, whether it was won or lost, it had to be over.

After playing mahjong, it is essential to take stock of their wins and losses. Under normal circumstances, if you win, you should be humble, say that you have won a little bit, and then comfort the players that they have just lost a lot, and it is harmless. As for those who lose, they are generally staring at the winners, and they will say a few words like "oops, who is lucky, how much you won, how much you should treat".

"Lu Tao, you have won a lot. Although my aunt was not very happy, she still had a smile on her face.

"Auntie, how much I won, it's just more than 800 yuan. ”

"More than 800 yuan, I'm afraid it's more than that, your uncle took out 1,000 yuan, my side is also seven or eight hundred, and Mr. Huang's side, it's also a few hundred yuan, almost all of them are in your hands, let alone more than a thousand, right?

Lu Tao pretended to be embarrassed and smiled: "I didn't win them all, it's really more than 800 yuan." “

Several people put mahjong into the box while cleaning up the table, Lu Tao's cousin, that is, his aunt's son, is about the same age as Lu Lan, and he is also in junior high school, and he has been watching TV upstairs before, and now he has also walked down.

Walking up to Lu Tao's aunt, he was a little dissatisfied, and said, "Mom, I've lost money again." Dad has been talking in the room for a long time. “

Aunt Lu Tao's face changed, and she shouted: "What is he talking about, it's not his money that he loses, besides, it's a celebration for the holidays, and losing is not losing to Waireen, how much I lost." ”

The most annoying thing for anyone who loses money is that someone keeps nagging about it, and it will only make me feel more unhappy, and when I see my son running down to say about myself, my aunt is a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Lu Tao directly pulled his cousin over and said, "Cousin, what time are you in junior high school?"

Lu Tao, a cousin, doesn't have much knowledge, a typical left-behind child, who has always lived with his grandparents, and is usually a little timid and afraid. looked at his cousin a little timidly and said, "The second day of next year." ”

"You, you know how to watch TV one day, and you don't know how to study hard, and when you get old, you still have to support you two of us?"

The aunt lost the money and sprinkled her anger directly on the child.

Lu Tao smiled bitterly, took out two hundred pieces of money directly from the money won with his right hand, stuffed them directly into his cousin's hand, and said: "Cousin, you have to study hard, these 200 yuan is the living expenses given to you by your cousin, and it can be regarded as a red envelope for the New Year." Then, he looked at his aunt, who was a little pale, and said with a smile: "Auntie, this is my pocket money for my cousin to study for my cousin, don't take it back then." ”

Seeing that he was so good at behaving, my aunt couldn't help but smile and replied: "How can it, we don't miss his living expenses." He glared at his son again, and pretended to scold, "Don't thank you cousin yet." ”

"Thank you, cousin. ”

In Lu Tao's eyes, all the money won at this gambling table is the money of several relatives, although my aunt looks down on her family on weekdays and feels that her family is poor, but in the final analysis, it is also a relative. Don't look at the monk's face but also look at the Buddha's face, my uncle has always been good to his family, and he can't be too much, and he can't be too careful. Divide these two hundred yuan, firstly, to make my aunt feel more comfortable, and secondly, others will think that they can be a person, and my parents also have face.

The effect of two hundred pieces is obvious.

"Lu Tao, when do you plan to go to school, or if you are not in a hurry, you can play at our house for a few more days before leaving. Aunt smiled at him.

"I'm going to leave on the eighth day of junior high school. Lu Tao replied.

"On the eighth day of the new year, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people by then, have you bought the ticket? Or ask your uncle to buy it for you. ”

Lu Tao is in a mountain village, and there is no train ticket sales point in the town, every time he buys a ticket, he books a ticket by phone, and he often can't book it. “

"Say that, it's all a family, what's polite. Aunt will go cook first, and then drink some wine tonight, the big guys will be lively. “

"Where do you want to buy a ticket?" asked my aunt when she went to the kitchen, and her uncle Zhang Chengcai asked.

"Imperial capital, just on the night of the 8th, buy a ticket, it's not far from here, and you have to transfer there when the time comes." ”

The uncle nodded, and his sister agreed, so why was he embarrassed to shirk it. This matter is even a given.

"Half price of the ticket over there is 110, uncle, I'll trouble you about this. Lu Tao directly took out two 100 sheets and handed them to Zhang Cheng, please.

Zhang Cheng, who was big on the card table, pretended to excuse himself, reached out to take the money handed over by Lu Tao, lit a cigarette, and said in his mouth: "It's all a family, and if you see your uncle, it's just one or two hundred yuan, and you have to give it." ”

"Doing things is doing things, and favors are favors. Lu Tao looked at him with a smile on his face, his eyes half-squinted.

"Brother, I haven't pressed the New Year's money yet. Lu Lan saw that her brother directly gave her cousin two hundred, she was a little dissatisfied, pouted, walked over, and looked at Lu Tao coquettishly.

"Give, give. Lu Tao said in his mouth and gently flicked his sister's forehead.

The younger sister directly stretched out her right hand and took it into the pocket of his clothes: "Huh." ”

Lu Tao was about to stop it, but it was too late.

The first to take it out,It was won by playing mahjong just now.,In fact, there are about a thousand.,It's just that the money is won.,Of course, you have to keep a low profile.,Except for the two hundred that I gave to my cousin.,It's good to have more than 800.。

Then, it is a brand-new 100 yuan bill, a full 3,000 yuan, a dark green of water, the big back is particularly eye-catching, and there is a faint fragrance.

"Brother, why do you have so much money on you?" the younger sister asked as she looked at him before she could react.

"Wait, is it okay to leave the change for my brother to take the car?" Lu Tao looked at his sister, and when he saw that she was about to take the money to his mother, he hurriedly said with a wry smile.
