CHAPTER XIII

I haven't been home for four months, and the feeling of going home is so urgent. Sitting on the familiar train and listening to the unique rhythm of the "Katakata" train again, Zhao Hongyi was very excited. After getting off the train and taking the boat, I just felt that the boat was going too slowly.

When passing through Willow Town, I need to change boats, and I just happened to encounter the street again, and there are many boats going home, so I am not in a hurry. Walking on the familiar street, Zhao Hongyi was in a good mood. The junior high school alma mater has not yet been on vacation, Zhao Hongyi seized the time to go to his alma mater, visited his junior high school teacher, and reported his study and life in the past few months. In the past six months, due to the nutrition to keep up, Zhao Hongyi has grown to 1.60 meters, and his body has become a lot stronger. When the teachers saw him, they all felt that the change was quite big, and the head teacher, Mr. Yang, encouraged Zhao Hongyi to study hard, not only to pay attention to the accumulation of knowledge, but also to pay attention to the cultivation of ability, and to be a person with both ability and political integrity.

After returning home, Zhao Hongyi has always spent time in a busy manner. After the twenty-third year of the lunar month, all nearby families asked Zhao Hongyi to write couplets. The reason why he was invited was that his handwriting was indeed good, and secondly, he wanted to be touched by the joy of the "new champion", so that he could show off to his relatives and friends. Zhao Hongyi is not polite, just pick up the pen and go, if he is too modest, the villagers will think that he is proud and look down on people.

From cutting paper, picking up pairs, to writing and drying, Zhao Hongyi only needs a helper, and he is familiar with the road in one go. His handwriting is very atmospheric and beautiful. The content of the couplet is nothing more than a few words familiar to the old family, such as "Xiangyangmen is often in the spring, and the good people are more than happy", "the days increase the years, the people increase the longevity, the spring is full of blessings", "go out to seek wealth and wealth, and succeed in starting a business at home", "the wealth is lush and reaches the three rivers, and the business is prosperous and leads to the four seas" and other words, he usually practices calligraphy when these words are often practiced, and now he writes the couplet, which can be said to be familiar with the road and a wave.

Needless to say, from the beginning of the first month, Zhao Hongyi began to pay New Year's greetings to various relatives on the orders of his father, and ran until the fifteenth day of the first month, drinking a lot of wine and receiving a lot of red envelopes.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, when I returned to school, my sister prepared a big bag of delicious things for Zhao Hongyi, he said that it was too heavy, and my sister said that there were many people in school, and good things should be shared with others. There are too many people going out during the first month, especially this slow train, and finally squeezed into the car, only to see that it was crowded with Sichuan people who went out to work, and it was too difficult for people to insert their feet. Fortunately, it didn't take long, only 20 minutes to arrive at the station. Although it was winter, Zhao Hongyi was already sweating profusely when he got off the bus.

By the time I arrived, most of the students in the dormitory had already arrived. At this time, everyone took out all kinds of delicacies from their bags like a trick and began to live a communist life. Zhao Hongyi secretly thanked his sister, fortunately he was prepared, otherwise how embarrassing it would be.

Everyone started to raise money and went to buy alcohol. The wine is the kind of double groove of four or two, because after the wine is drunk, the cup containing the wine can be used as a teacup, and it has become the favorite of the students for a while. Of course, according to the school's regulations, students are not allowed to drink alcohol, and this kind of thing cannot be done. I haven't seen each other during a winter vacation, everyone is very affectionate when they meet, endless New Year's fun stories, endless parting feelings, everything is in the wine, don't drink a little wine, not only does not have face, but it is really unreasonable.

There was no wine cup, three or five classmates drank a big glass of wine, and the big guy said, we don't have any infectious diseases, what are you afraid of? In an instant, more than a dozen Shuanggou Daqu have been swallowed, and most of the students have long been overwhelmed by the strength of alcohol, and they have begun to stare in a daze, and at this time, there are still a few students who have a large amount of alcohol are still challenging everywhere.

"Hello brothers, three peach orchards, five leaders, six or six shun, eight horses."

In the dormitory, the second stage of the drinking contest began, the boxing competition. Rowing is a unique wine culture in the Liangzhou region. The two of them shouted to start the ascension, each with their fingers (called out), 0 to 5, of course, there are taboos, such as when out of "one", you can only give a thumb to show respect, and you can't give a thumb and index finger when you come out of "two", which will make others think that you are hitting him with a gun, which is impolite. When two people punch, they should shout a number (between 0 and 10), and then look at the two of them, add up the number shouted in their mouth, whoever shouts will win, and the loser will drink. This kind of game is very rhythmic, and it can test a person's brain reaction, and people who punch well tend to respond well and have enough brains.

Zhang Bo has good punches and a good amount of alcohol, and it is basically difficult to meet opponents in this dormitory. In an instant, several challengers were defeated by his men, which made him even more proud, shouting, "Who's coming again?" "The taste of being alone and seeking defeat is uncomfortable!

"I'm coming!" Zhao Hongyi appeared. Zhao Hongyi drinks averagely, but when it comes to boxing, he is generally worthy of others. I grew up watching and listening to my father's boxing, and when I was in junior high school, I often drank boiled water with my classmates in a boxing competition when I didn't have games.

At this time, he and Zhang Bo were on the bar. "Rise high, five leaders, treasure to your house, nine longevity!" The dormitory was lively. Both of them are masters, and sometimes they have to make more than a dozen strokes in a round, and it is still difficult to decide the winner. At this time, it is necessary to be patient, to see who is old, the other party will catch the punch, and quickly win the punch. The master has made a move, not only to compare IQ, but also to look at emotional intelligence, but also to see the situation. These two are opponents in boxing, and good in wine. Whether it is skill, rhythm, and momentum, it is all excellent. Zhao Hongyi drank less just now, he was lightly traveling, and now his mind is clearer than Zhang Bo, after Zhang Bo's first three axes, Zhao Hongyi grabbed the flaws in Zhang Bo's fist, and succeeded in arresting him again and again, so that Zhang Bo drank a few more big sips.

Zhang Bo could only say mercy, "Brother, you are tall!" Gaojiazhuang's high! Today, my brother is willing to bow down, and next time I will fight you for 500 rounds. The whole dormitory is boiling, Zhao Hongyi, this kid is not only a "test god", but also a "boxing god", talent, rare talent.

The drinking came to an end for the time being, and everyone either fell asleep, or chatted and bragged, so unhappy. At this time, Jin Yongduo from Fengli County took out a deck of poker and said that he wanted to teach everyone to play a game that had just been passed from Hubei during the Chinese New Year, called "Fraud Jinhua". At that time, the TV series "Vice Casino" was being screened, and everyone admired Shi Zhikang's gambling skills in it. Gambling is the root of all evil, everyone has only heard about it before, and they will never dare to touch it, it is said that this thing is like a drug, once you get it, you will be addicted, and it will be difficult to quit.

Kim Yong-dork began to introduce the rules of the game. After a deck of playing cards remove the size of the king, there are 52 cards, after moving a little, decide who is the dealer, the hander lifts the cards, and gives the player three cards in order in turn, than the size. This game can be played by a small number of people. The three cards have different sizes and suits, which are called chaotic pieces, and they are compared in order from largest to smallest; Two of the three cards have the same number, called "pair", and a pair of aces is the highest; Three cards are three adjacent natural numbers called "straight", such as 234, 567, AKQ is the largest; The three cards are exactly the same suit, for example, all hearts and all squares, which are called "golden flowers"; The three cards have exactly the same number, which is called a roller, and the three aces are the highest. The rules of mutual restraint of these are: the roller eats the golden flower, the golden flower eats the straight, the straight eats the pair, the pair eats the mess, and the smallest 235 in the chaos eats the largest roller three A.

In the past, the students who had been distracted and devoted to their studies were excited to practice when they heard it. Some students comforted themselves and said, let's just try our luck, and we don't gamble, what are we afraid of?

Seven or eight classmates started to get started. After playing a few handfuls, everyone felt that it was not exciting enough.

Jin Yongduo said, in fact, the beauty of this game is to gamble money, the color can be big or small, the key is to have, before the card can be on the bottom of the money, means to obtain the license qualifications, you can stew the card (that is, do not look at the card directly bet), you can also look at the card, feel that you can also bet on the big card, but it must be more than 2 times the bet placed by the braised card, of course, can not exceed the amount of the cap. As the name suggests, the focus is on the word "fraud", and the highest level is that you can sit on the "chicken", which is virtual and real, and people can't tell the truth or falsehood.

Jin Yongduo said, just talking and not practicing the mouth style, we can play a dime foundation, five cents cap, and you can also serve a meal ticket. Good guys, seven or eight people have gone up, and after a few cards, the winning person's eyebrows are dancing, and they want to make persistent efforts; The loser has a depressed face and longs for the next hand to win back. Everyone quickly became addicted, and when the lights went out, the interest was still strong, and they refused to stop the fire, lit candles and fought again, only until three o'clock in the morning, and finally the initiator Jin Yongduo won a big victory and won more than 20 yuan. There are not a few people who lose money, and they all feel very painful in their hearts and vow to find a chance to win back.

In the next week, the students who played cards fell into a vicious circle, and some students lost all their living expenses for a month. After walking for a long time at night and encountering ghosts, someone finally told the head teacher, Mr. Wang Dashun. Those who participate in gambling are all reported and exposed, and no one is missed. Mr. Wang was furious, called the gamblers to the office and severely criticized them for four lessons, and the winners were all returned to the losers, vowing not to play again. At the end of the day, each participant walked up to the podium for a review.

Teacher Wang, in line with the mentality that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, did not report to the school security department. Otherwise, it is light to call parents, and if it is heavy, it will be punished, and a heavy note will be made in the file. Everyone's review was very profound, and the initiator, Kim Yong-do, received the most criticism and complained the most.

Don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys really can't be contaminated with gambling. Gambling and crime have always been twin brothers, endangering not only the individual, but also the family and the collective, and even more so the society. Zhao Hongyi was secretly glad that he resisted the temptation and didn't get started. Fathers often warn their children that gambling skills are not healthy, gambling is nine frauds, and getting rich depends on working with both hands, and not opportunistic
