Episode 3 Mahjong Battle
For the first day of the Lunar New Year, the village has the rules of the village, Guo Kaiqing and Chen Shuqin have not been at home for many years, they naturally don't know, for this 'head pillar incense' everyone wants to go up, but why don't everyone go to it, just because the whole village wants to let 'Guo Lao Liu' go up.
Guo Kaiying, also known as 'Guo Lao Liu', is a 'clear descendant' in this village, as the saying goes, 'a good dog protects the mountains and forests, and a good man protects the three villages,' Guo Kaiying is another one that makes the people in the village admire after Guan Jianguo, especially in helping the people in the village, as long as any family has difficulties to find him, it can be done, and does not charge 'profit is money', most of them are taken inside.
The old Guo family Guo mother believes in Buddhism, this is very early spread, there is an old man in the hometown, the youngest son is the 'person who serves the stove', so Guo Kaiying every New Year's Day, Zhun Bao took his wife to the temple to incense, because most of the villagers have received Guo Kaiying's favor, so no one will fight with him anymore, for the monks in the temple, but also because Guo Kaiying gave the 'sesame oil money' high, do not see him coming, will not open the 'mountain gate'.
When Guo Kaiqing and his wife Chen Shuqin returned with a smile, they happened to meet Guo Kaiying and his wife walking this way.
"Fifth brother, it's still early for you, what's the matter, is there someone in the temple?" Guo Kaiying looked at the road with a flashlight in his hand, saw Guo Kaiqing coming over, and handed the flashlight to the fifth brother.
'I sneaked in, you also go to incense, go, go! Guo Kaiqing said disapprerovingly.
Seeing Guo Kaiqing and his wife walk away, only then did his wife speak, "Sixth, do you think your fifth brother knows that we will also go to incense?" ’
Guo Kaiying said casually, "I shouldn't know, the fifth sister-in-law is from the south, I think the fifth brother will take her to see the excitement, let's go, it's time for us." ’
"I've asked Wang Jinhe to help you figure it out." In the past few years, the head pillar of incense in our village has to be on you, if you change someone else this year, something will definitely happen, can your fifth brother stop! The woman has always been suspicious, and she said what Wang Jinhe had said before her early years.
'What can happen, you are always surprised, the fifth brother is not an outsider, isn't it all from the old Guo family. It's only been half the night, I think the Buddha hasn't woken up yet, don't say anything like this in the future, don't be angry. ’
After Guo Kaiqing left, the old monk in the temple did not sleep again, but sat in the 'ear room' in the 'mountain gate'. You're late this year! ’
"It's not too late, it's not too late, don't you just say that my fifth brother just left, I know he came first, he doesn't come home often." I let him! Guo Kaiying has always been humble and forbearing, especially during the Chinese New Year.
"It's better for you buddies, the cigarette on the head pillar won't be burned for a while and a half, or you won't come into my house." Will you knock? The old monk wanted to pull out the high incense stick on Guo Kaiqing, but when he heard that Guo Kaiying asked his brother to come, although the giant incense burner in the courtyard was big enough. But at the same time, two pillars of high incense can't be put on it.
"No, Shifu, my fifth brother will leave in a few days, I will come back in fifteen, today we will put a few pillars in front of the Buddha!" Guo Kaiying put the 'one thousand yuan' prepared in advance into the hands of the old monk with both hands.
After the old monk happily accepted the money, he said, "Humility is not respectful and moral, and the money is scattered and comes back, Guo Lao Liu, please in the Daxiong Treasure Palace!" ’
The old monk led the way, Guo Kaiying first entered the 'Daxiong Treasure Hall', after the Buddhist ceremony, he retreated, and his wife walked in, she had written the 'document' of the 'suing' earlier at home, and it was incinerated on the spot in the hands of the old monk.
In the next few days, the men played mahjong overnight, the women kept preparing to eat, and the children were even more happy.
Stopping in front of a 'small second floor', Chen Shuqin inevitably shouted, 'Drink!' Guan Yue, is this your home? ’
"What's the matter, Shuqin, it's okay, my parents don't like to live in the city, and I also built this for me and my son to come back, what's the matter, let's go in," Guan Yue is now a wealthy person, spending money is like running water, and he never sparess it.
'Mom, I've seen all three of them, and her house is the best house in the village! Guo Xiaoqing leaned on his mother's ear and said.
'What are you two underestimating, mother, you're here! Guan Yue naturally heard what the two said, although she was secretly happy in her heart, but she also took a word, the night was deep, she couldn't hold on, a few days of continuous rotation, Guo's mother also fell on the kang to make up for sleep, it seems that this 'look at small cards', is not easier than playing mahjong at all.
'Yo, don't say it, let me guess, you must be Guo Xiaoqing, your father is Guo Lao Wu? Guan Yue's mother hugged Guo Xiaoqing and kissed several times in a row, the old man is not as good as an ordinary rural old woman, this old woman brushes her teeth every day, and she still uses Hong Kong-made toothpaste and toothbrush.
'Call Grandma!' Chen Shuqin saw that Guan Yue's mother was so polite, so she didn't mean to take her son back.
'Happy New Year, Grandma! ’
'Yo, this little mouth, it's the New Year, grandma can't call it in vain, there's a red envelope, you can take it to buy candy! had already said hello in advance, and Guan Yue's mother stuffed the red envelope into Guo Xiaoqing's pocket.
The two-story small building, each room has a fire pit, but this fire pit is not burned with firewood, but with coal for heating, a small boiler, in the warehouse, a row of earthen heating, is designed by Guan Yue specifically looking for an engineer from the "Architectural Design Institute", the most peculiar thing is that the toilet is indoors, which makes Chen Shuqin feel a little comfortable.
"Auntie, your house is quite high-end, and this 'Yangjing' is also in the house?" Chen Shuqin saw good things, of course, she had to praise them.
"I don't know, this is all done by the girl, saying that it is put outside for fear of freezing, come, this is the toilet, if you run out, press this karma, and it will be flushed down," Guan Yue's mother knew that the toilet was the most important thing for women, so she brought Chen Shuqin here directly.
"It's still a toilet, okay, I said third sister-in-law, you're quite good at enjoying it, it costs a lot of money, right?" ’
'The 10,000 RMB, my mother and I went to Hong Kong to pick it, the domestic one is not good, and I specially found someone to sit in the water. Straight to the drainage ditch at the head of the village, 'Guan Yue is indeed very good at living, everything she has now, either Hong Kong or Nissan, basically no longer buys domestic products.
The Guo brothers' mahjong battle lasted for 48 hours, during which the five brothers were tired and who got off, the battle of the wheels. After two days and two nights, the victory and defeat have been divided, Guo Kaiwei played the best, he almost won more than 3,000 yuan, Guo Kaishan and Guo Kaixin are the book, most of the money lost is Guo Kaiqing's, Guo Kaiying is the latter, he also lost some, but not much.
Another day passed. When Chen Shuqin was still dreaming at Guan Yue's mother's house, Guo Kaiqing suddenly ran in, he didn't say a word, and directly opened Chen Shuqin's handbag.
Even though his son was still asleep. But Chen Shuqin's hearing is still extraordinary, although it is not yet dawn, but she knows that there are people in the house, and her first expression is. 'Thief', but immediately dismissed again, 'Is it Kaiqing?' ’
'Yes. It's me, I said where did you put your money? Guo Kaiqing turned on the lights in the house.
'Money? What do you want money for? ’
'Nonsense, if you lose, give it to me, they're still waiting for me,' Guo Kaiqing's eyes were red, and he was already covered with bloodshots, and he really looked like a 'gambler' at this time. ’
Chen Shuqin turned over and got off the kang, "I don't have it in this bag, I gave you more than 3,000, why did you lose?" ’
"Well, I had a good idea for the first two days, but yesterday I lit a few cannons, and you give me another two thousand, and I will bring it back!" ’
'Two thousand? The money is all given to you, what should you do if you lose, you won't go back,' Chen Shuqin wanted to get money for her husband, but after thinking about it, she didn't continue.
Guan Yue lived in the house next door, and after nightfall, the big iron gate in the yard had been locked, and there were dogs guarding it, but when she heard Chen Shuqin's house, she also got up and came over, "Old Five, when did you come in, why didn't the dog in the yard bark?" ’
Guo Kaiqing smiled, "You said this dog, he is afraid of me, the dogs in this village are afraid of me, third sister-in-law, it's okay, you can go to sleep." ’
Guan Yue pulled Chen Shuqin aside, 'Is it that the fifth child lost again, looking for you for money?' ’
Chen Shuqin didn't answer, just nodded.
'Give him, let him lose, Guo Lao Wu, you really look like the people of your old Guo family, you don't admit it if you lose, you want as much as you want, you say the number, the daughter-in-law doesn't have it, I'll give it to you the third sister-in-law! Guan Yue watched Guo Kaiqing grow up, since she was a child, she has regarded herself as a 'third sister-in-law', and he has absolutely the right to speak when dealing with the few uncles below.
"That's okay, third sister-in-law, you give me three thousand first, and then I will pay you back, if you lose everything, I will go back to the army and send it back to you, I Guo Lao Wu never owes money," Guo Kaiqing has to ask for money today, no matter who gives it.
Guan Yue's money is available everywhere, in Chen Shuqin's house, she also has money, I saw that she took out a few bundles of 'Great Unity' from a large brown paper envelope as if by magic, and said, "Three thousand, it's still five thousand, the third sister-in-law's money is marked, you have my fortune, I promise to win back what I lose, take it!" ’
'Thank you, sister-in-law! Guo Kaiqing took the money, but he didn't turn his head back, so he ran out.
"Third sister-in-law, look at him, what should he do if he loses this time, let's be honest with you, this five thousand is too much, and the two of us really can't afford to pay it back," Chen Shuqin had no choice but to tell the truth, because she and her husband went home, and only prepared more than 5,000, and now there is nothing left.
Guan Yue smiled, "Who asked you to return it, look at me," I saw Guan Yue take out 'Big Brother' from next door, and after pulling out a few trumpets, he started to make a big noise.
'It's me, your third sister-in-law, I'm not looking for Guo Laosan, I'm looking for Guo Laosan! Guan Yue closed his eyes and knew that the 'results' between these brothers, Guo Kaiwei is a veteran in the card field, and those who don't lose playing mahjong outside will be even more powerful when they go home.
"Is it the eldest brother, what are you doing as the boss of Guo, what about fighting local tyrants, if you fight local tyrants, you have to find our family, you have the ability to win Guo Kaishan, Guo Lao Si, Guo Lao Liu, you can bully the poor, I can sue you, the New Year, don't let me find you unhappy, I just lent the old five money, you look at it as a big brother, hang up! Guan Yue was angry today, maybe she wanted to show it in front of Chen Shuqin, she came to a 'nonsense'. ’
Guan Yue's phone call was really good, when Guo Kaiqing returned to the table, it didn't take a few hours to win back all the money he had lost in the past few days, and when Guan Yue and Chen Shuqin got up the next day, he ran over happily.
'Wow, Wow! When the dog in the yard saw that it was dawn, he became very powerful.
"Hey, look at this dog, people don't bark at night, it's noisy in broad daylight, is the third sister-in-law up, is the third sister-in-law up!" Guo Kaiqing didn't rush in, he only shouted in front of the door, his shout was terrible, the dog was so frightened that he ran back to the kennel and didn't dare to come out again.
Guan Yue walked out with a tooth jar in his hand, "Listen, you are going to the funeral early in the morning, are you losing again, and you are looking for me to borrow money again!" ’
Guo Kaiqing said with a hippie smile, "How can it, it's really like you said, your money is really spiritual, there are marks, I didn't take out a few of them at the beginning, and I ran back with what I originally lost, third sister-in-law, give, this is your book to borrow from me!" ’
Guan Yue took the money, put it on the kang in the house, held a toothbrush, and squeezed the toothpaste, "Be polite to your daughter-in-law in the future, don't tie up all day, go in, your daughter-in-law is up too!" ’
Guo Kaiqing pushed the door and walked directly to Chen Shuqin's house, took out all the 'great unity' in his pocket and said, "Son, you're still sleeping, wake up quickly, help your dad count the money, your dad and I won!" ’
Guo Xiaoqing was half asleep and disturbed, but after seeing Man Kang's money, he also became excited, "My dad wins Luo, my dad wins Luo, my dad is the best!" ’
Chen Shuqin knew that it was Guan Yue's phone call, but in order to cheer up her husband during the Chinese New Year, she pretended not to know, "It's not that you are powerful, it's the third sister-in-law who borrowed your money, but people are people who do big business, unlike us, it's not enough to win some money, what's the matter, why don't you play?" ’
Guo Kaiqing was lying on the kang, and then he felt the feeling of lack of sleep, "It's not that I don't play, it's that they all ran away, the eldest brother received a call and said that there was a big case, it seems that there is an old man who let people be stabbed to death, he has to go back, the sixth child is too, the leaders of the people are not looking for him, he also followed, three are missing one, I have to stop fighting, don't call me for a while, let me sleep!" ’
"Old Five, who did you say died?" Guan Yue finished brushing her teeth and happened to hear this.
"I didn't say who it was, I just said it was an old man, by the way, my fourth brother also wanted to come, but my fourth sister-in-law didn't let me," Guo Kaiqing said a few words in a daze, and his snoring became louder.
Who is it? Is the fourth really going? Guan Yue said to herself.
Chen Shuqin is a foreigner, she doesn't know what's going on, at this time Guo Xiaoqing is getting dressed, and she plans to take her son to the Guo family's old house to help and help the women make breakfast. (To be continued......)
