My husband and I have been coming to Jiamusi for three years.

For three years, we met with our relatives often.

Needless to say, there is a big event and a small affair, and it is inevitable to gather. There is no situation and also partying. Ten days and a half months, a month at most, get together.

Most of the meetings come to my house, and I rarely go to other people's houses.

At the beginning, when my husband and I came to settle here, we planned to pay for family gatherings, so we bought a 70-square-meter building, two rooms, and a generous hall.

Relatives came, there was a place to eat, live, and play.

In the years when my sister was alive (at that time, we had not yet come to Jiamusi), she often summoned her relatives to her house for gatherings, which was necessary for the New Year's holidays, and she usually gathered.

After the death of his sister, the younger brother inherited the fine tradition of his sister and gathered his relatives to his own house for a meeting, just like his sister.

Unfortunately, my sister and brother passed away one after another. They were separated by two years.

The younger sister died of a cerebral hemorrhage on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve; the younger brother died of encephalopathy or heart disease two days before the Spring Festival.

Now that my sister and brother are gone, my husband and I moved from Beijing, so we naturally inherited the fine tradition of my sister and brother and let our relatives celebrate the New Year and gather in our house.

Relatives gathered, and it was the elder brother, brother-in-law and stepsister who often came. The sister-in-law didn't come much, because her family opened a supermarket, she was the main character, and when she came, her son and daughter-in-law replaced her. My younger siblings went to Beijing to work. The nephew went to work in other places, and occasionally the nephew and daughter-in-law brought the children. The nephew is working in the field.

By the time of the Spring Festival, there were more people, and people who had worked outside the home had returned.

After the death of my sister and younger brother, my brother-in-law and younger brother and sister still corresponded with us, just like my sister and brother were alive, and they did not change in the slightest.

There are two main activities for family gatherings, one is to have a dinner and the other is to play mahjong.

When my relatives come to the party, I buy chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, fruits, liquor, beer, drinks, etc., and I don't care how much it costs. Relatives also bought delicious food, and of course, my family was the main buyer.

When I bought something, the chef was my husband, he was very good at cooking, and every dish was delicious and delicious.

The meal is opened, the dishes are all over the table, ho, it is really seven dishes and eight bowls, colorful, meat and vegetables, fragrant, and fascinating. Everyone sat down, pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and drank heartily. Chew on it and enjoy the delicious meal.

Everyone was eating and drinking, chatting at the same time, really talking and laughing, and having fun.

My brother-in-law and husband are both very laughing people, they make fun of each other, they talk humorously, make everyone laugh, and my brother-in-law also makes hearty laughter from time to time.

Hehe!

Rice, eat extra fragrant, wine, drink extra sweet.

The dinner party has a strong atmosphere, harmonious feelings, and far-reaching artistic conception.

After the meal, my husband played mahjong with his relatives.

I hated mahjong, it turned out to be very hateful, so, my son patiently taught me before his death, I just couldn't learn, at that time there was a husband, son, daughter-in-law at home, Leng is three missing one, can not become a game.

Now, as I get older, my perception of it has changed, but I still don't like it, however, not to hate it.

Starting Point Chinese Network Wen Youxiang said in his novel "My Life Record": "Mahjong, wisdom gymnastics, is a noble wisdom gymnastics that integrates multiple sciences, it requires people's independent thinking, good memory and logical reasoning ability, and has the function of mediating nerves, developing wisdom, and enhancing memory and judgment." ”

I think what Youxiang said is still very reasonable.

However, there are drawbacks to playing mahjong.

Some people are addicted to playing, have no moderation, and delay the right thing. There are also people who play mahjong, gamble, become addicted to gambling, lose nothing, are in debt, their wives are separated, and they fall into the abyss.

In fact, there are no pros and cons of mahjong itself, it is all up to people to grasp. If you grasp it well, it will be beneficial to people, and if you don't grasp it well, it will be harmful to people.

My husband and I moved to this city, and this is where we both end up.

The son was killed, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter were still far away in the capital and lost contact again. The ones who can meet and get along with us often are the relatives here.

My relatives all play mahjong, and I like to play it very much, so I am used to it.

I also took the initiative to save change for my husband, he was so good at losing, I didn't care how much he lost.

Before and after eating, my husband played mahjong with his relatives.

Most of them, husbands, brothers, brothers-in-law, and stepsisters, sat around the table.

The table is covered with mahjong mats, and there is a small pocket at the four corners of the mahjong mat, which is used to hold money, and they play small money, and it is not interesting to play with money, and there is no motivation and no fun.

Then, putting the mahjong on top of the mat, they shuffle the cards with a bang. This voice turned out to be the most annoying to me, and it made my heart tingle when I heard it. Now, it's treated very blandly, neither liking nor hating.

This, for me, has been turned upside down.

As soon as the mahjong sound sounded, the emotions of the four people came up, all smiling and energetic.

They set up four short sections of the Great Wall and started a game of mahjong, all of them engrossed in waiting and seeing.

Then, the cards are officially played.

I can't describe the process of fine boys, I don't know the knowledge of mahjong.

I just see that they are all very engaged, you come and go, you draw a card, look at it, think about it, or play it, or put it in your own pile. Very serious, very brainy, very cautious.

Hehe, this is like directing a battle on the battlefield?

The smoke of gunpowder was thick and the flames of war were raging. The fighting between the two warring sides was extremely fierce. Because that's a matter of life and death. As a commander, you must be cautious, cautious, and cautious, otherwise, you will lose everything if you are not careful.

This is a battle of wits and courage, depending on whose IQ is higher.

However, war is also about the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Mahjong, do you also talk about this? But I heard in a trance that playing mahjong is also about luck.

With excellent IQ, superb card skills, and good luck, you can make peace.

However, the four of them are not silent, they use their brains, fight wisdom, play cards, and talk and laugh, the atmosphere is very harmonious, warm and peaceful.

Playing mahjong between relatives is not gambling, it is entertainment, and mahjong has become a bond to enhance feelings.

I rarely watch them play mahjong, I serve them tea and water, and serve the game.

I also pick vegetables, wash vegetables, cut vegetables, cook rice, and prepare for cooking by myself.

In my free time, I go to play with the computer.

We all have our own pleasures.

When my relatives come to my house, it is like in their own home, casually and uninhibitedly, without being polite, without pomp and circumstance, and without formality. They feel that it is not pleasing to the eye, so they start to fix it, and if there is any problem, they eliminate it.

My husband and I went to a relative's house to buy things and work, as if we were in our own home.

When relatives gather together, it is warm, harmonious, happy and comfortable.

Yes, relatives are the constituents of a big family, and they are inextricably linked by blood and nepotism, and they have a common relationship.

Therefore, relatives should come and go with each other often. Deepen your relationship, care for each other, help each other, and take care of each other. If one person is in trouble, all sides will support.

This is the joy of family gatherings, this is the unbreakable family affection!
