Chapter 14: Befriending the "Sitting Tiger" (2)
Zhao Chunhua came back after the phone call and said to Yongliang: "Yongliang, Jing Shaoping said that the secretary of their Siguan brigade happened to play mahjong at his house, if you don't mind, please go to his house, just get to know each other together." ”
"Playing mahjong?" Wang Yongliang used to be a "veteran of mahjong", and he played well. Hearing Zhao Chunhua mention it for the first time in this life, I was immediately moved.
The way to play mahjong is not complicated, but there are different ways to play it from place to place. Gao Ping's gameplay is the simplest one - "bumper Hu", chaotic, can only touch the cards, can not eat cards, only the cannon loses money, of course, except for self-draw, after listening to the cards must be reported, after the report can not be changed. Ming touched doubled, Ming hit quadrupled. The main purpose of this provision is to avoid the disadvantages of cooperation to the greatest extent.
Although playing mahjong is not a serious matter, Yongliang knows that he can accurately understand a person's character at the mahjong table. Since you want to make friends with the "sitting tigers", you might as well go for a dozen, contact your feelings, and get to know their respective personalities.
Having made up his mind, Yongliang said, "Sister, let's go, go play for a while, please invite them in the evening." ”
Yongliang put on a white shirt, green military pants, and black sandals, this dress is the most ordinary at the moment, and no one can tell that this is a multimillionaire, more like a young student.
I don't know how big they played, it was estimated that it was five yuan at most, so Yongliang grabbed a handful of money, and he didn't count it, anyway, it was not less than three hundred yuan, even if he played ten yuan, it was enough, unless the idea was very memorized.
After packing up, Yongliang shouted Zhao Chunhua out of the door, and Li Honglin dutifully followed them from a distance.
On the way, Yongliang inquired about Jing Shaoping's family situation, and Zhao Chunhua said: "Jing Shaoping's wife died of an illness last winter, and a son and a daughter are all in elementary school. ”
"Oh, there is no hostess, who will take care of his two children?" asked Yongliang.
Jing Shaoping is less than 40 years old this year, his parents are still alive, and the child is usually taken care of by them. Zhao Chunhua said.
"This Jing Shaoping is not too old, and he is the secretary of the brigade, and the matchmaker still has flattened the door frame of his house?" Yongliang was puzzled that Jing Shaoping had not continued so far.
"Who knows? We just ask people to do things, can we still inquire about other people's private affairs?" Zhao Chunhua said.
"That's too. Sister, you can introduce me in a while, and then go home, you don't have to wait for me there. Yongliang said.
"I see. Zhao Chunhua squinted at Yongliang, "You're too careful, aren't you?"
"Yes, sister, it's better to avoid it. "Yongliang Road.
While the two sisters and brothers were talking, they arrived at Jing Shaoping's house.
Jing Shaoping's house is a red brick house, bluestone as the base, red lacquered iron gate, the door opening is relatively wide, much better than the adobe houses of the surrounding people, it can be seen that his family is very wealthy.
Zhao Chunhua was the first to enter the gate and walked into the courtyard, Yongliang had already heard the sound of playing mahjong in the main room. Hearing this familiar voice again after seven or eight years, Yongliang felt a sense of intimacy and an urge to hurry up and fight.
When she arrived at the door of the main house, Zhao Chunhua shouted: "Secretary Jing, are you at home?"
With Zhao Chunhua shouting, there was a sound of chairs moving in the room, and with a middle-aged man coming out, Yongliang knew that this was Jing Shaoping, and stared at it.
I saw that Jing Shaoping was thirty-seven or eight years old, about 1.8 meters tall, with dark skin, flat head and short hair, eyes and eyes, wearing a big vest on the upper body, and a pair of green military pants on the lower body.
"Spring flowers are here, this is Brother Yongliang, right?" Jing Shaoping showed a reserved smile on his face, stretched out his hand to Yongliang, and looked at it without being pretentious, Yongliang had a good impression when he saw it.
"Secretary Jing, hello, I'm Wang Yongliang. Yongliang hurriedly walked up a few steps, took his outstretched hand, and shook it twice.
"Brother Yongliang, hello, please come in. Jing Shaoping enthusiastically let the Yongliang sisters and brothers into the house.
Yongliang entered the house with Jing Shaoping, and saw that the door was facing a table of eight immortals, the main and guest seats each had a high-backed wooden chair, the east side of the table of eight immortals against the wall was a set of simple sofas, in front of the sofa was a wooden rectangular coffee table, and a simple wooden table by the window, this is the table for playing mahjong, and there was a piece of woolen cloth used in a paper mill of the same size as the table, which was a necessary thing for playing mahjong, which could greatly reduce the sound of mahjong slapping on the table.
One person sat in the north, east, and south directions of the mahjong table, all of whom were around fifty years old, and when they saw Jing Shaoping leading in two people, they all looked over, but no one stood up.
Jing Shaoping said to the three of them: "Three big brothers, let me introduce you to you, this is Wang Yongliang from Nansi Town, everyone knows Degao Flour Mill and Nansi Food Factory, he is the factory director, but because he is going to school, the factory is entrusted to others to operate." This is his sister Zhao Chunhua. ”
After introducing the Yongliang sisters and brothers, Jing Shaoping pointed to the three of them in turn to introduce Yongliang: "This is Yang Yuqi, secretary of the Nanguan Brigade, Yu Xiangdong, secretary of the Dongguan Brigade, and Gao Changsheng, secretary of the Beiguan Brigade." ”
The three "sitting tigers" stood up one after another, and Yongliang shook hands with them one by one to say hello.
Although they were all smiling, Yongliang still felt that the three of them had a difference in their attitudes towards him.
Yang Yuqi and Yu Xiangdong were really polite to Yongliang, and they could see appreciation in their eyes, and the smile on Gao Changsheng's face was squeezed out, and there seemed to be a sense of contempt in his eyes, Yongliang's heart moved: Although he is in the South Temple, his reputation should not be small, and he has never had any intersection with Gao Changsheng, according to common sense, he should not be cold to himself, Gao Shan and Gao Ling are both from Beiguan, could it be that this Gao Changsheng has something to do with his brothers?
Although there are many doubts in my heart, this is not the time to ask, so let's learn about it slowly in the future.
"Since you're here, let's play for a while, right?" Yu Xiangdong said to Yongliang with a smile.
"What's the matter? You guys have a good time, I'm not involved, you play, you play. Yongliang said politely.
Wang Yongliang knows that there is a problem with playing mahjong, and a few acquaintances have a good time, and they are most disgusted that others join halfway, not to mention that they are still strangers.
"You're welcome, this is Shaoping's home field, just ask him to let him out, let's play." Yang Yuqi also warmly invited.
"Director Wang, although the three of us are older, our card style is absolutely positive, and we won't bully children. Gao Changsheng also opened his mouth to invite, but this is a bit too much, although Yang Yuqi and Yu Xiangyang are older, they don't mean to underestimate Yongliang, this Gao Changsheng's attitude seems to be a bit problematic.
"Secretary Gao, don't call me any factory director, just call me Yongliang. Wang Yongliang hurriedly said.
"Brother Yongliang, you can fight, Sister Chunhua and I just have something to say, you will take care of me for a while. Jing Shaoping said.
This shows that Jing Shaoping's emotional intelligence is indeed high. It not only gave Yongliang an excuse to play at the table, but also did not make the other three feel uncomfortable.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, then I'll play for a while, but it's okay to say, whether you win or lose, I'll treat you in the evening, and I ask the secretaries to give me face." ”
"Okay, okay, that's settled. Jing Shaoping, Yang Yuqi, and Yu Xiangdong all agreed, but Gao Changsheng did not answer, and everyone looked at him with inquiring eyes.
"I'm sorry, I made an appointment for a drink party in the evening, so I won't participate, let's find another opportunity. Gao Changsheng said.
