Chapter 15: Playing Mahjong

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Mo finished breakfast, Han Bing came. It turned out that he had been home for more than a month, and he had not played mahjong yet, and his heart was itchy. Usually, because people can't get together, they are always missing one of the three, and they only have an addiction. And Li Mo came back just in time to get together a table, so Han Bing would come out to invite people so early.

Playing mahjong is very popular in Li Mo's hometown, especially in his free time, he is about four people to play mahjong to consume time. Li Mo himself likes to play mahjong, and before he is reborn, he only has time to go home for the Chinese New Year. The rest of the time I work in Shanghai, how can I have time to play? And the mahjong outside is different from the rules that Li Mo is familiar with, and the mahjong rules in Li Mo's hometown are to remove the flower cards, a total of 136 cards. There is a God of Wealth, you can't eat cards, you can only touch, and you can only draw cards, and others can't fire guns. When you win, you can't be a flat Hu, for example, 20,000 or 30,000 in your hand, 10,000 and 40,000 can not win, unless your cards are all the same. Self-draw winning cards must be cards: such as a 40,000 and 60,000, listen to 50,000, touch 50,000 to win, and 120,000, touch 30,000 can also win. But 50,000 is bigger than 30,000 and wins.

"Han Bing, who else will wait?" Li Mo, who followed behind Han Bing, asked curiously, this is not the time to farm, and he knows when he sees his parents working every day; In addition, Li Mo's village is not big, only more than 20 households, and young people are either studying or going out to work, how can anyone still play mahjong?

"You'll know when you get there, and you know them all."

In the hall of Han Bing's house, Li Mo knew who Han Bing was talking about, yes, Li Mo knew both of these two people, and both of them were from this village. It's just that both of them are women. The younger one is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he is Chen Hua, the daughter of Uncle Chen's family behind Han Bing's family. The young children in the village call her Sister Hua, who married to a foreign country a few years ago, and I don't know why she is back to her parents' house now. The other older one is Jiang Yu in the east of the village, and the child is only two years younger than Li Mo.

"Li Mo, when did you come back?"

"I went home yesterday, and now it's a holiday." Because there was no mahjong machine, several people had to shuffle the cards by hand.

The rules of Jingcheng mahjong are not to play a game and pay once, but at the beginning, each of the four families will have 20 foundations. Playing cards are generally used instead. Each card from 1 to 10 counts as one, and the poker face and king cards count as five each. When a family loses all 20 foundations, it is counted as a game. And before the mahjong starts, you must agree on some detailed rules, such as some people can bring a flat beard when playing mahjong, and some people can only touch themselves.

Ordinary people play mahjong for entertainment, a base is counted as five cents, and a game is ten yuan. Play Jingcheng mahjong, which changes and the algorithm of winning cards more, for example, in a game, only one person wins, until the other three of the foundation at the same time all lost, the winner wins in addition to the foundation itself of ten yuan, but also add double the bonus. The most bonus is in the opening of the first card, a color double float (must be three God of Wealth)., in the last card to touch the fourth God of Wealth, the bonus to be multiplied 5 times, because of this card, each of the other three have to pay 20 (player) or 21 (dealer) a base, that is to say, just so a card three family of the foundation once lost. The game is over, and each family has to pay 60 yuan to the winner. There is also a wind and a color, the wind is a color of the low, the lowest is 4 times the bonus, the highest is 7 times. So for rural people, this kind of play is neither big nor small.

The first game ended quickly, Li Mo's luck was not good, he lost his foundation first, and he had to add Han Bing's all-color Pinghu, and he paid a total of twenty yuan.

"Han Bing, how about we go to the field in a few days?" Li Mo said while playing mahjong that for the sake of the mold business, Li Mo decided to go to Zhejiang Province with Han Bing once, because Han Bing is now working in a machinery factory, and there must be mold manufacturing machinery for sale, and he can also see if there is a chance to make up the principal of the business in the field.

"Okay!" Han Bing was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Mo's words, and said indifferently, "Then where are we going to play?" ”

Sister Hua and Jiang Yu kept playing the cards in their hands, but their eyes looked at Li Mo, and there were strange questions in their eyes, although Li Mo was in his twenties, he was only a freshman in high school now, and he was still a child in their eyes; After all, this is a rural area, different from the city, teenagers will definitely not rest assured when they go out at home, and in the countryside, most of the family situation is similar, and it costs money to go out. They didn't know that Li Mo was not going to reach out to his family to ask for money, Li Mo's own money was enough to travel by himself.

"Let's go to Zhejiang Province, you have been there for so long, you should be more familiar. You're going back to work, and I'm just going to go out and relax. Li Mo didn't explain it carefully, because the matter itself needs to be kept secret; Han Bing may have understood why Li Mo asked this question now, but he didn't show any discoloration on his face, just nodded slightly.

Jiang Yu and Sister Hua were even more surprised when they saw the mysterious expressions of the two, but seeing that Li Mo and Han Bing didn't have the idea to say it, they didn't continue the topic, and several people's minds returned to the mahjong table.

When the four of them ended, it was already 12 noon, and in the morning, Li Mo's luck was not too bad, and the four of them won or lost. As soon as I walked to the door of Han Bing's house, I saw a person in gray clothes walking into the courtyard of Han Bing's house, it was his father Han Jiancheng, Han Jiancheng was very kind, Li Mo These young people in the village liked him more, mainly because every time he came to Han Bing's house to play when he was a child, Han Jiancheng would take out some candy for the children to eat, when he was a child, he was poorer here, and the children couldn't eat snacks a few times a year. For this reason, Han Bing also had several conflicts with Li Mo's companions, because Han Jiancheng was generous, and the candy he bought was quickly distributed every time, Han Bing felt that the children in the village had robbed him of his candy, so at that time, Han Bing was very reluctant for the children to come to his house to play, until he was older, every time several people chatted together, Han Bing was the object of ridicule.

"Uncle Han, it's hot, isn't it? Why are you home so late today? As soon as Li Mo went out, his scalp was hot from the scorching heat. The fire on the ground rushed upward, but the heat wave above his head rushed downwards in bursts. If you stand outside in this weather, it won't be long before people will be dried and pried.

"It's Xiao Mo, there aren't many things to do today, so I decided to finish it in the morning, and I don't have to go out in the afternoon." Han Jiancheng said with a smile, "It's better to be cool at home, it's hotter on the mountain." ”

"Farmers are really hard!"

Hearing Li Mo's low sigh, Han Jiancheng smiled disappreliably, children don't know the hard work of running a family, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which don't have to be earned by hard work, if an adult talks like this, Han Jiancheng will definitely say that he will be beaten up, but Li Mo is still a child, Han Jiancheng naturally doesn't care, and children have no experience.

After Jiang Yu and Sister Hua went home, Li Mo also said goodbye and left, went to his grandfather's house first when he got home, and after saying some words with his grandfather, he went home to prepare to cook, seeing that his parents had not come back yet, Li Mo couldn't help but complain in his heart, don't you have to work so hard, right? When is it now? It's the peak of summer, and 12 o'clock to 2 p.m. is the peak of the hot day, and if you don't go home at this time, what if you get heat stroke. Thinking that his parents were still working against the flames, Li Mo felt distressed, in this life, Li Mo valued nothing more than family affection, and left too many regrets to himself in his previous life, Li Mo would never let some things happen again.
