Chapter 39: Call (Thanks for the Nine-Cent Meeting)
Lu Tao saw that his father and mother looked at him with some worry, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Since my uncle has said so, then it's okay to hit 5 yuan, I don't have any opinion." ”
"Young people are like this, refreshing, upright, what can be done by mother-in-law and mother all day long. Lu Tao, don't you want your dad in the future, you can take care of everything, what kind of money can you make?" Zhang Cheng, who was a little drunk, nodded and said.
"Uncle, let's play cards, my dad and my mom earn a lot a year. My annual tuition fee is more than 4,000, as well as my sister's tuition and living expenses, plus the family's expenses. Lu Tao didn't want to make his parents sad, so he opened his mouth to argue.
"If you don't say that you don't have much knowledge, you have been staring at the village? How much money can you make from farming, you see your aunt, now the house in the family is beautifully repaired, and you come back once or twice a year, what's not good. ”
Some people like to sleep after getting drunk, some people are chattering after getting drunk, and more people actually belong to the kind of cat with a lantern after drinking, looking for the biggest appearance in the world. Zhang Cheng is slightly better, somewhere in between.
The more Lu Tao talked about it, the more he went too far, he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to say how his family was, he didn't know anything, and he was a little angry in his heart.
"Uncle, what about us, we are not as capable as you, but ah, who can see what will happen in the future. Isn't it good now that doesn't mean it's good in the future, right?" Lu Tao was patient, and he was a little concerned about the faces of his relatives.
"Okay, one of my elders told you what to do, play cards, and said okay, 5 yuan doxxing, 20 cap, don't rely on anyone if you lose at the poker table. “
Lu Tao is not very good at playing mahjong, and in his previous life, he was just gathering with his classmates on weekends or holidays to play a few games, and his level is not high, but he now has money in his pocket, and he doesn't have to worry about losing and not being able to lose.
I thought that my level would be beaten down this afternoon, and I would lose one or two hundred. How do you know that the result is really true to the old saying, no matter how well the cards are played, it is not as good as luck. At the beginning, Lu Tao also lost a few times, and when he saw that there were only 15 out of the 100 yuan on the table, he just came to work.
By the time it was almost over, Lu Tao's front was already full of thick stacks of banknotes, some of which were ten yuan and one hundred yuan, most of which were won from the hands of three people.
"It's really strange, Lu Tao, why did you make a big mistake 5 times in a row?" Although my aunt said that she was richer than Lu Tao's family, this money was not blown by the wind, and seeing that she was losing more and more, and all of them went to Lu Tao, she was still a little depressed.
"Sister, where is this, just two or three hundred yuan to be sad?" Zhang Cheng also lost more than three hundred, but he didn't care.
"Today in front of the elders, I am so lucky, I will be given the New Year's money by my uncle and aunt. Lu Tao had a smile on his face.
"Cheng, it's time to press the New Year's money. “
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Lu Tao took the money in his hand and counted it, and said, "I still have to eat at night, so let's play here." ”
There are times when playing cards and playing in a hurry, Lu Tao's aunt doesn't say it, but she still wants to turn over the book in her heart. It's not that you can't afford to lose these hundreds of dollars, but it's pure gambler psychology. It's like playing a game, you don't have any monetary benefits, and you still want to win back if you lose.
"How can this be done, I've just started to play, how can I win money and want to slip away." Lu Tao's aunt took out another 300 yuan from her pocket.
"I don't care, I don't have much money anyway. Zhang Cheng spread his hands, and the wine dispersed a little.
Lu Tao looked at his aunt with a smile and said, "Auntie, don't you still want to win back, if I really keep winning, then I don't have to eat dinner." ”
"Why, you were lucky before. After a while, my aunt and uncle had the money ready, and they were afraid of losing. He said unconvinced.
Lu Tao knew from his aunt's posture that if he didn't spit it back, he might have to play for a while.
He thought for a moment and said, "Just like this, just play five more games, win or lose, how about it?"
"How's that going to work? "My aunt secretly pondered in my heart, this play 5, even if I do the biggest card, I can only return 100 yuan, so I naturally don't want to.
Lu Tao saw what she meant, and asked Zhang Cheng: "Uncle, didn't you say that you play 10 yuan in the city, in the last five games, it's okay to play 10 yuan directly, 80 is capped, and no one will say anything when it's over." Then he looked at his aunt and asked, "Auntie, do you say this is okay?" 5 rounds, if you get bigger, that's 400 yuan, if you're lucky, you can not only get back to your roots, but also win some." ”
"80 capped?" My aunt was a little hesitant, and she was afraid that Lu Tao would lose more if she was as lucky as before, but if she didn't agree, she wouldn't be able to recover what she lost before.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind, slapped the table, and said, "80 is capped at 80, and if I lose, I'll cook." ”
Lu Dayou has been watching the game from the side, and when he saw Lu Tao win before, he had been quietly signaling him to stop playing, but he didn't expect that in the last few games, he played even bigger, directly quadrupled, and his eyes quietly glared at Lu Tao.
"Then 80 capped. "After all, Zhang Cheng is a person who has seen a big scene, and the last 5 are only, and there are only a few hundred yuan in the sky, and it is nothing if he loses.
So, the four of them played the last few rounds.
Luck is indeed changing, in the first game, Lu Tao directly lost 40, looking at the eyes of his father on the side, he was so distressed. That's 40 yuan, the family raises a pig to sell, a pound of pork is only 1 piece 5, this time he lost more than 30 pounds of pork out, how can he not feel distressed?
In the second game, his luck was even worse, Lu Tao directly played a wrong card, and he lost the largest 80 pieces directly.
Lu Tao didn't mind, anyway, the money he won back, but Lu Dayou didn't think so, if he won, it would be his own, and if he lost, he would also lose his own money, and from time to time he kicked Lu Tao's feet under the table with his foot.
"Lu Tao, now I don't have the good luck I had before, hehe." My aunt, who had won back some of the money, began to laugh on her face.
"Dad, you're going to play the last three rounds. Lu Tao was a little helpless because his father kept making small moves next to him.
Every time he saw Lu Tao lose money, Lu Dayou felt terrified. Anyone who plays cards knows that the people watching from the side are sometimes more anxious than the people at the table, and they can't wait to play in person, and they are thinking that they will definitely play better than others. At this time, Lu Tao's father's heart was in such a state.
However, he has never played such a big mahjong, and the maximum is 80 in one game, and when Lu Tao called him to play, he was really a little stage frightened.
"Dad, you play, it's okay if you lose this money, you win anyway. Lu Tao said directly to his father.
"I ...... I ......"
When Lu Dayou was still struggling, the phone that Lu Tao had been holding in his pocket rang, the ringtone was crisp and melodious, and everyone's eyes looked directly at Lu Tao.
After connecting the phone, a crisp voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, Lu Tao, Happy New Year." “
"Peng Ying?" Lu Tao didn't even think about it, he didn't know many girls, and even fewer were able to call during the New Year, so he said directly.
"So her name is Peng Ying?" "I can't help her, I don't think you'll miss her." ”
"Yan Chun. Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, at that time on the train, the two stayed for a while, and it was normal for them to leave a phone call for each other, but he never thought that this contradictory complex that combined the cold on the surface and the playful on the inside would take the initiative to call him.
