Chapter 36: New Year's Greetings (Part II)
"Play mahjong, play mahjong!" Qin Jianye spread out the mahjong table and sprinkled the heavy mahjong on it, Qin Jianhua pulled Li Xingdong, who was sulking, Li Xingdong snorted, and after glancing at Qin Feng, he sat down at the table very reluctantly.
The two families of aunt and uncle naturally occupied the four positions, Qin Jianguo was a little embarrassed, and said softly: "I'll go and give my mother a hand." Qin Jianye laughed, as if it was natural for Qin Jianguo to give the old lady a hand.
Qin Feng didn't say anything more, silently walked out of the living room and walked outside.
Qin Miao took the initiative to act as Qin Feng's follower every year during the Chinese New Year, and when she saw Qin Feng leaving, no matter what happened just now, she immediately shouted loudly and followed: "Brother, let's go downstairs and set off firecrackers!" β
"Not in the mood."
"It's okay, I'm in the mood!"
The corners of Qin Feng's mouth twitched, and he lost to Qin Miao's heartlessness.
Grandma Qin Feng's family lives in an old-fashioned community, and the spacing between buildings is very short, and there is only a small open space where firecrackers can be set off. At this time, there were too many private cars in Dongou City, which was not outrageous, Qin Feng found an open space where only 3 cars were parked, and estimated that it should not be enough to carry Cheng DΓΉ, who would set the car on fire, and said to Qin Miao: "That's it." β
"Alas, brother, you are too timid, it would be good to stand downstairs and put it down, and you still ran so far." Qin Miao complained, took out two boxes of firecrackers from his pocket, handed one to Qin Feng and said, "Here you go." β
Qin Feng shook his head and said in principle: "I'm not in the mood." β
"Then I'll be all by myself!" Qin Miao had a feeling of taking advantage, smiled and took the firecracker handed to Qin Feng back into his pocket, and then took out a lighter.
Qin Miao solemnly lit the first firecracker of the year, and the moment the red phosphorus from the mouth of the firecracker burst into flames, Qin Miao was scared and excited and threw the firecracker far away, just under a car.
"Bang!" With the sound of firecrackers, Qin Feng's eyelids jumped violently, and he couldn't help but remind: "Please pay attention when you throw it, what if the car explodes?" β
"What a fuss, how can it be so easy to explode?" Qin Miao said nonchalantly, and then lit the second one.
Bang! Syllable!
After throwing three or five firecrackers, Qin Miao gradually regained the feeling of last year, and after ordering half a box, this kid began to be dissatisfied with simply throwing them around, but began to recall the fancy games of the past few years, such as throwing firecrackers into the manhole cover, or getting a hibernating toad out of nowhere, and unscrupulously stuffing firecrackers into the toad's mouth.
Such a ferocious and brain-dead gameplay quickly stimulated the passion of Qin Miao's whole body, and Qin Miao, who had played with it, quickly consumed firecrackers, abusing the small animals and various pipes in the community again and again, and when there were only ten firecrackers left in the second box, Qin Miao finally realized that it was time to be diligent and thrifty.
"It's so cool......" Qin Miao put away the remaining firecrackers with a satisfied face, and then said with a look of regret, "It's a pity that there is no dung pit here, if it is in the countryside, it will be more fun." β
Qin Feng couldn't help but make up the picture of Qin Miao throwing firecrackers into the dung pit, and instantly lost his appetite to go back for lunch.
At this time, Qin Miao suddenly asked, "Brother, can you really earn more than 3,000 yuan a month now?" β
"So what?" Qin Feng asked rhetorically.
Qin Miao showed a flattering smile, grabbed Qin Feng's arm and said, "Brother, can you buy me some firecrackers?" Wait until tomorrow when you go to the country! Firecrackers in the countryside are sold on the side of the road, and we sneak out to buy them when we eat, and my parents won't know about it. β
Qin Feng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay." β
"Brother, I knew you were the best for me!" Qin Miao's sycophant is quite explicit, and he has not learned the essence of his parents slapping horses without leaving a trace.
Back at my grandmother's house, the house was already filled with the smell of food.
"Coming back? Miao Miao, go wash your hands, and wait for about half an hour to eat. Grandma said to Qin Miao with a smile.
Qin Feng looked up at the clock, it was only half past ten now, thinking that if he hadn't had a quarrel with his uncle just now, his grandmother wouldn't have started making lunch so early, and he was able to eat early today, half of the credit was due to him.
Qin Miao washed her hands and came out, went to the living room to look at the card game, but after a few glances, she was driven out by her mother Ye Xiaoqin.
"Brother, let's play chess." Qin Miao, who had nothing to do, took out the chessboard from the drawer in her grandmother's room and didn't know who bought it in what year, Qin Feng was idle, so he nodded and agreed.
Qin Feng played chess until he was 25 years old, but when he got older, his mind gradually calmed down, and his chess strength improved by leaps and bounds. And Qin Miao and Qin Feng are just the opposite.
In order to cultivate Qin Miao, Qin Jianye sent this kid to learn all kinds of things when Qin Miao was very young, calligraphy, chess, chess, anyway, what he could learn at that time, Qin Miao basically signed up. With the guidance of a special teacher, Qin Miao has been crushing Qin Feng on the chessboard since he was in elementary school, until Qin Feng went to high school and opened his brain in the process of being promoted to a top student, which broke Qin Miao's unknown hundreds of consecutive victories against him.
Today, Qin Miao still didn't treat Qin Feng as an opponent, and playing chess with Qin Feng was purely boring and looking for pleasure.
The chess pieces were placed, Qin Miao picked up the cannon, snapped, and put it heavily in the middle, pretending to shout: "The cannon is two and five!" β
Qin Feng didn't say a word, and jumped off the horse casually.
"You're playing chess, huh?" After watching mahjong in the morning, Li Xinran heard Qin Miao's shout and also came over. However, this cousin was obviously still worried about what happened before, so she specially stood behind Qin Miao and silently expressed to Qin Feng that I just want to do it against you.
Qin Feng didn't think as much as Li Xinran, and when he saw her coming, he greeted lightly: "Sister." β
Just rushed at this sister, Li Xinran's hostile attitude towards Qin Feng instantly decreased by fifty percent, and he said with a straight face: "Who of you is powerful?" β
"Of course it's me! My brother loses dozens of games to me every year! Qin Miao said with a smug face.
"In this way, then I will win a few more games today and vent my sister's anger." Li Xinran smiled and touched Qin Miao's head.
Qin Miao was suddenly greatly encouraged, patted her chest and said, "Wrap it up on me, brother, if you don't lose enough ten games today, you are not allowed to run!" β
Qin Feng sighed in his heart, and said helplessly: "Good ......"
The chess game continued, and Qin Miao played chess very quickly, almost every move without thinking. Qin Feng followed unhurriedly, and under Qin Miao's urging, he maintained his rhythm. The two of them were fast and slow, but they didn't make any mistakes, and before they knew it, there were only a few pieces left on the chessboard, and they entered the endgame.
"Huh?" Qin Miao looked at the situation in front of him and glanced at Qin Feng strangely, "Brother, you have improved." β
Qin Feng smiled faintly, stepped on the horn of the horse, and called softly: "General." β
Qin Miao was stunned when she heard this, looked down again, and her face suddenly changed. γ
"I'm going to die." Li Xinran was a little surprised by Qin Feng's layout, if you don't take a serious look, people with low chess skills really can't see that this is a dead game for a while.
"You, you, don't you say you're amazing? How did you lose? Li Xinran touched Qin Miao's head.
"Don't touch it!" Qin Miao, who had just been broken the myth of invincibility, slapped Li Xinran's hand away angrily.
Li Xinran smiled disappreciatively and said, "If you lose, you lose, and if you win back, it would be good to win back!" β
"Shame...... Qin Miao gritted her teeth and stared at Qin Feng and said a very vivid analogy, "It's like the Hainan team lost to Miuratai." β
Qin Feng said: "Isn't it Xiangbei?" β
Qin Miao said disdainfully: "How can you have the level of Xiangbei, you are at most the level of the Wuli team!" β
"What team is Buri?" Qin Feng said that he couldn't remember.
Qin Miao shouted, "Top four! The top four! β
Qin Feng nodded suddenly in realization, the age of this cartoon is too old, and I really can't remember the names of the various teams.
