Long Lancui looked at the gloomy sky. I haven't touched the cards for more than ten days, and my heart is itching and panicking, and I am restless.

If it weren't for the fact that the youngest grandson was sick, the daughter-in-law would have to carry the grandson to the town for an infusion, and the housework would not have fallen on her. At this time, she was sitting in the mahjong parlor in Liuye Lane in Pingzhen, playing cards with a spring breeze on her face.

I paid the card money and took care of the rice. She ate at noon and went out, and she could play cards until the end of the game.

The sick old man couldn't go out. And he is honest by nature, and he never asks her whereabouts. Either sit in the hut all day watching TV, or come out to feed the original local dog and the newly bought German wolfdog.

Since the daughter is engaged. The blinding yellow platinum jewelry became a topic of conversation among the villagers in the nearby villages. People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Although the folk customs here are simple and the atmosphere is still good. But it is inevitable that there will be people with evil intentions.

In a short period of time, the Xia family has already visited several times. But fortunately, they only targeted her bedroom and Xia Jie's bedroom, so there was nothing to lose.

She can hide it in a small bag with her underwear sewn, unless she ......

in this case. The family had a meeting. Xia Jie finally came up with a good idea. It is said that only when there is wealth can thieves be worried, but if there is no wealth, thieves will not be worried.

Their family is united in their mouth, whenever they have the opportunity. will tell people in the form of grievances that Xia Yu's engagement jewelry is just a formality. They took their jewelry back the same day they left.

These fabricated lies worked, and the house was much quieter. It's just that Xia Jie is still not at ease. So a few days ago I bought a wolfdog to watch the house.

As soon as the ferocious wolfdog came, the original earth dog became lively and fierce. At night, if there is the slightest movement outside the yard, the two dogs will pounce and yell in the direction where there is movement. This time. It's completely safe.

In front of the courtyard gate, Lin Laohan, who walked slowly, glanced in. Tear up her voice and shout, "Xia's mother! Didn't go to play mahjong? ”

The two dogs who were on a leash during the day saw someone come to the courtyard gate. Immediately he bared his teeth and claws, barking wildly.

Long Lancui yelled at the dog, the dog stopped barking, and she smiled at Lin Laohan and said, "This time is not free." Didn't go. Come in and sit down. ”

As soon as the woman's words fell, Xia Lin walked to the door on crutches, and when he saw that it was Lin Laohan, he grinned innocently with an anxious face, raised his hand tremblingly, and pointed to the stone bench in front of the door. Motioned for Lin Laohan to come in and sit.

Lin Laohan smiled and said that he was busy with farm work, so he would come at night.

"Dead old man! I've been busy for a long time, and I haven't seen you go out to take a look. It's going fast now. After Lin Laohan left, Long Lancui glanced at Xia Lin, sat down on the stone bench with a heavy face, and swallowed melon seeds.

Xia Lin smiled dumbly. Knowing that Long Lancui annoyed him, he didn't pay attention to it, turned around on crutches, and walked slowly towards the hut.

When will my little grandson's illness get better? Long Lancui spit out the melon seed shell in her mouth and began to look at the courtyard gate in a daze.

Willow Leaf Lane in Pingzhen. A woman hurried along with two large bags of vegetables.

A middle-aged man walked out of the narrower alley. He asked the women, "Excuse me...... Do you still have to go into the mahjong parlor in this alley? I'm lost......"

As soon as the woman heard the man inquire about the mahjong parlor, she immediately looked at the man.

The man's facial features are upright, and his upper lip has a small handful of well-groomed mustaches. Wearing a plain light corn t-shirt. The sleeves are rolled up to the arms, and the pants are loose and the texture of the black leather shoes looks very good. The upper has two deep creases. But it's still shiny black.

"Are you ......," the woman asked.

"Oh!" The man patted his head and said in a friendly manner: "I'm from Jiulian No. 1 Factory." Xiao Wang in our factory came to the mahjong parlor to play mahjong once. It's not. I'm idle today, but I can't find it. ”

The workers of Jiulian are guaranteed to harvest in drought and flood. Rich. The woman's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "You are asking the right person." I opened the mahjong parlor. ”

The man smiled amusedly, "That's it! ”

The proprietress led the man deeper and asked him how big mahjong he usually played.

The man said: "Big gambling hurts the body, small gambling is pleasant." Ten yuan, five yuan, two yuan can be. ”

After a few words, the two came to the deepest part of the alley in a blink of an eye.

Two dilapidated courtyard gates leading to guò. An old locust tree hides three quaint blue brick and black tile houses.

In the middle of the room, there was a lot of commotion. Two tables of mahjong have begun. Two more people were watching.

The proprietress said to the two people sitting on the sofa watching: "Little Qiumei and Lao Liu Tou, hurry up to the table!" ”

The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, greased and powdered, the woman in her thirties looked up, flashed her eyes at the strange man, and said, "No one." How to fight? ”

"Someone!" The proprietress shouted to the inner room, and a thin black old man came out of it, and the proprietress gave all the dishes to the old man, and told him to stay for a while to cook and cook, then walked to the empty mahjong machine and sat down, and beckoned to the strange man and the other two, "Plus I happen to be four." ”

It was full of women and old men, so the table was small, five dollars.

Mahjong is played small, and there are naturally many words. Unnaturally talked about Long Lancui.

Speaking of the Xia family, there are even more words. It's just that her family was so poor in the first few years, the walls were empty, and in the past few years, she has been rich with her daughter's light, and her life is prosperous.

There are many people who answer, some are jealous, and some are really funny.

No one noticed that the strange man seemed to be concentrating on playing cards, but he was listening with his ears pricked up.

After the proprietress played a card, she asked the old Liu Tou on the opposite side strangely, "Why haven't you seen Sister Long come here in the past ten days?" ”

Before Lao Liu could answer, a woman at the next table preemptively said, "I met her at the gate of the hospital yesterday morning." Her little grandson is sick. ”

The proprietress grinned helplessly, "No wonder! ”

The strange man's five fingers are slender, and his posture of playing cards is very good-looking, which inevitably makes Xiao Qiumei look at it twice, and she said to the boss: "Boss!" You bring someone new. I won't introduce it either. ”

The proprietress didn't know what the man's surname was, and was about to say two jokes, but the man who didn't want to be engrossed in staring at the cards took over and said: "The surname is inferior, and the single name is Jizi." Call me Brother Bunch! ”

The man's expression was rigid. didn't look at Xiao Qiumei, and Xiao Qiumei, who wanted to talk again, was also dumbfounded. Sometimes, though, men will tell a joke or two to cater to them.

He's very bad luck right now. After a few rounds of cards, he lost a lot of money. I didn't care, just as the boss lady thought, the workers of Jiulian No. 1 Factory were rich.

Losing money and winning have a good impression. In a short period of time, he got along very well with the friends here.

At the time of dinner. The man bought a bottle of mid-range liquor from outside, and the men of all ages at the table were stained, and he suddenly became the most popular person here.

After eating, Xiao Qiumei lost the money and left under the pretext of something. There were fewer people.

The proprietress made a few phone calls and couldn't invite anyone, afraid that Beiji would never come. Then he said flatteringly to Beiji: "Ming'er, I will ask Sister Long from Peach Blossom Village to come." Although Sister Long said that the brand was not good. But there is money, and if you lose, you will not withdraw. ”

Beiji smiled and his eyes narrowed into two slits. I watched everyone play cards for a while, and then left. (To be continued......)
