Chapter 72 Scarlet Dedication (44) Mother and Son Blocking the Ball (I)
Seeing that Guo Kaiwei's home was so luxurious, Guo Kaiqing persuaded his mother to stay for a few more days, and he also 'borrowed' to stay for a few days, Guo's mother agreed, after all, the fifth son was not at home for many years, and the old man thought that it was too late, this is not too much of a request, and it can still meet him.
Guo Kaiqing and his nephew 'Guo Xiaoer' are in the same room, and while he tells him 'battle stories', he also 'talks about life' with him, saying that force cannot solve problems, the key is wisdom, and with wisdom, and then there is 'chivalrous spirit', that is the real man.
"Fifth uncle, when I reach the age in a few years, I will also go to the army."
"Okay, but you have to be honest in the past few years, don't do that last time, with a bad record, even if you are 'someone', you can't be a soldier."
"Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, from now on, I can just endure it, I can endure it, isn't it just a knife on the head of the word forbearance, I can do it." 'Guo Xiaoer' lives like a little adult, which makes Guo Kaiqing cry and laugh.
After two days, there were only Guo's mother and Guo Kaiqing in the family, Guo Kaiqing loved to sleep lazy, Guo's mother did not wake him up early, and after the family was gone, she would go to the 'morning market' to buy some meat and vegetables back, which was also her 'job'.
Guo Kaiqing and the third brother Guo Kaishan are different, Guo Kaishan is a 'hard-working man', since he became a soldier, he has always gone to bed early and got up early, after Guo Kaiqing became a cadre, when he encountered a day off, he would always open his eyes on the bed 'sleep', although he couldn't sleep, he thought that this was 'making up for sleep', which could replenish energy.
Guo Kaiqing looked at the wall clock on the wall until ten o'clock, but still didn't see Guo's mother come back. In a hurry, he got up and got dressed, and went downstairs.
Because Guo's mother said before that she would go to the morning market to buy vegetables in the morning, Guo Kaiqing also inquired all the way, came here, looked at the crowded crowd, he was dumbfounded, where would his mother be?
"This old lady is too tough. I told her to stop playing. She still played, and she lost more than two hundred. An old woman passing by was chatting with her peers, which attracted Guo Kaiqing's attention.
"Auntie. You said there was an old lady. What's wrong with her? ”
Today, Guo Kaiqing is wearing Guo Kaiwei's police uniform. Although there is no police badge, it can still tell that he is a 'good person'," comrade. It's over there, do you look at it, there are people who touch the glass balls, I said the old lady, still playing, I don't want the dishes, and throw them aside. ”
Guo Kaiqing was very nervous about his mother, he looked not far away, many people surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, as if he really heard his mother's voice.
Squeezed through the crowd and saw that it was really Guo's mother squatting there, Guo Kaiqing didn't dare to disturb her, watching how his mother 'lost money'.
The Guo family is good at gambling, which comes from Guo's mother, and Guo's father is not good at this, but all the people of the second generation of the Guo family are very interested in 'gambling' because of Guo's mother.
Guo's mother came to the morning market to buy vegetables in the morning, and saw a lot of people surrounding 'touching the ball', and the old man, who was already a gambler, walked into the circle.
This is a very old gambling game, the person who does the village is generally only one person, he has a stall in front of him, there is a very thick cloth pocket on the stall, there is a sign next to it, the book 'touch the ball game', and then there is a piece of black and white writing 'game instructions', touch five cents once, a total of 36 glass balls, there are six different colors of small flowers in the glass balls, divided into 'red, green, yellow, blue, purple, Plus miscellaneous flowers', each time touch 6 balls, according to the number of colors, divided into a variety of grades, if the six balls are the same color, for the first prize of 1,000 yuan, followed by 100, 10 yuan, varied, but what do people take to make money, that is, 'penalty color', he has a color, you touch, you have to pay 'twenty yuan' to the dealer, among these rewards and punishments, there is only this one situation, to lose money to people, the other worst is also five cents, this book does not owe each other.
When Guo's mother took out twenty yuan to the dealer again, Guo Kaiqing walked into the circle, he squatted beside Guo's mother, and said, "Won or lost?" ”
Guo's mother is gambling heartily, and she is addicted to losing money, so she is afraid that someone will ask her, 'Did you lose?' The old man stared at Guo Kaiqing fiercely, did not speak, and handed the money to the dealer.
"Shall I give it a hand?" Guo Kaiqing took out five cents from his body and threw it on the stall, and without waiting for the dealer to speak, his hand reached out to the cloth bag containing the ball.
"Yes, brother, you hit five dollars as soon as you came up." According to the 'game instructions', Guo Kaiqing touched out the 6 balls, and responded to the pattern of five yuan bonus, and the dealer happily gave Guo Kaiqing five yuan, and he kept talking.
"Okay, that's a lot of fun." After getting the five yuan, Guo Kaiqing stood up, he wanted to see his mother's next performance.
Guo's mother naturally wanted to continue gambling, she drew a piece, five cents, five yuan, and once again touched the "please pay twenty", helpless, Guo's mother took out another twenty yuan from the wallet and handed it to the dealer.
Seeing that his mother's wallet was already empty, Guo Kaiqing stepped forward, took a 'vegetable basket that no one wanted', and walked out of the circle upright.
Guo's mother saw that her fifth son took the vegetables and left, so she stopped 'gambling', followed Guo Kaiqing, and walked out of the morning market.
"Didn't lose less, did you?" Guo Kaiqing came to his mother's side and said with a smile.
"I didn't lose, I won at the beginning, I just saw you, I lost this one." Guo's mother has a hard mouth.
"It's good that I didn't lose, but I won anyway." Guo Kaiqing shook the five yuan in his hand, very proud.
"Win a fart, look at your beauty, you only touch a handful, you touch a few more for me to try, I am sure you will lose, I even forgot what your mother called." Guo's mother was so angry that she trembled, and she wished that someone was better than her in gambling.
"I've heard that there was an old lady who lost more than 200 dollars, and even lost all the money to buy vegetables." Guo Kaiqing was still adding fuel and vinegar to say.
"Who did you listen to?" Guo Mu stood still.
"Mom, this thing can't be played, this is a mathematical probability problem, you can see it by looking at the description, they are all prizes, and one is 'please pay twenty', which shows that it is impossible for people to lose money."
Guo's mother thought about it for a while, and turned into a smile, "I lost almost three hundred, but last month, I won by looking at the cards, so it happened to be 'flat'." "For winning or losing, Guo's mother has her philosophy, that is, the 'back and forth' policy, this month's idea back, lose some, next month may be good, and win back, she thinks so, and does this, over the years' gambling career', she generally wins, loses less.
"You're right to think so, I'll go back to you for the three hundred yuan." Guo Kaiqing has no money on him, but he still has to say that in order to please the old man, he has to get it from his sixth brother Guo Kaiying when he goes back, so as to make up for his mother's shortfall. ’
"This is my son, I know what the hell is good in this life, go, go home and my mother will make you braised pork."
The mother and son happily returned to Guo Kaiwei's house, Guo's mother was very happy, she didn't wait for the evening, she made a lot of dishes for Guo Kaiqing at noon, and let Guo Kaiqing eat a 'ditch full of trenches'. (To be continued......)
