"Black-faced Cai, didn't you say you were going to pick up your nephew? Why don't you move yet? In the room rented by the third uncle, four people chatted while playing mahjong.

"Don't really say it, I'm actually a little afraid of my nephew." The third uncle told them about his situation, "Do you know that I have congenital disorder? This nephew of mine will be fine if he calls me uncle, but if he calls out to the third uncle, it will be terrible, and I will lose control immediately and can do anything. ”

"Is it that serious? What will you do? Hua Gu, who has always had a crush on the third uncle, asked.

"I'm going to rape you!" The third uncle's face showed an evil light, but Hua Gu was secretly happy in her heart, wishing that she would meet the third uncle who was out of control to achieve good things.

"Hahaha, I've been self-drawn for eighteen villages in a row, and I can't afford to lose this if I sell Ah Ping by self-drawing!" The third uncle laughed proudly, this is thirteen, if you touch yourself, you will win big.

"Alas, even if Ah Ping wants to sell it, she will sell it to me!" The fish seller who liked Ah Ping expressed his dissatisfaction.

It's the turn of the third uncle to touch the cards again, this time the card just pinched into his hand he felt wrong, carefully rubbed the cards out, and saw that it was 90,000, thirteen self-drawn! The third uncle stood up excitedly, holding 90,000 to announce the victory, who had heard someone behind him shouting at this time, the third uncle suddenly lost control, made a mess of the card table, and the thirteen were wasted.

"It's you kid!" The third uncle hated it so much that he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't wait to eat Ah Xing.

"Third uncle, it's me, I'm your nephew Ah Xing!" Ah Xing didn't know anything about this, and he still leaned on the fence gate and waved to the third uncle, "I'm coming to Xiangjiang to join you!" ”

The third uncle lost control again, holding the fish and making obscene movements, and screaming "sticky bada, sticky bada" in his mouth; Can it really get out of control? Hua Gu was tempted, and when Ah Xing called the third uncle again, she hurriedly rushed to the third uncle, wanting to throw herself into the net, but who expected that the third uncle suddenly sobered up when he saw her face, "What are you doing, you think you are a boba!" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm out of shape, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape!" Hua Gu fled in shame.

With one less person, mahjong naturally couldn't be played anymore, Ah Ping and Yu Sheng also went back, and there were only three left in the room: Third Uncle, Ah Xing and Shen Long.

"Third uncle, this is my cousin Shen Long, Ah Long is my good brother, he just came back from retiring from the army, and he didn't have a job, so he came with me." Ah Xing introduced Shen Long to the third uncle.

The third uncle had already reached the self-touch thirteen and was shouted by Ah Xing, and he was depressed in his heart, and when he saw Ah Xing like this, he directly began to scold, "Look at your virtue, three points like a human and seven points like a ghost, and even the long hair is like a fake ......"

Before he finished speaking, Ah Xing took off the wig, "I thought Xiangjiang was popular." ”

"Pop you're big! You still wear it, can you take it down? ......" The third uncle scolded while taking out a cigarette and looking for a lighter all over his body.

Shen Long didn't speak next to him, just quietly looked at the layout of the room, the living room was very small, and the space on the smallest mahjong table was full, he and Ah Xing were squeezed on a double sofa, and through the crack in the bedroom door, you could see that there was a bunk bed inside, which was probably where Ah Xing and the third uncle lived.

The room is messy, it is estimated that the third uncle usually doesn't clean much, and he can't see any high-end things, it can be seen that the third uncle's life in Xiangjiang is not very good, and he is still at the bottom of the society after decades.

His friends are similar, as the name suggests, it is estimated that they open a small shop to sell fish, not only have to get up early and go to bed late to be busy, but also have to pay rent and pay protection money to the underworld, and they can't save much money; Ah Ping is a dancer, drinking and dancing with others for a living, Hua Gu seems to have been a dancer before, but now she is old and has no guests to do it.

Xiangjiang is a city with a serious gap between the rich and the poor, and rich people such as Li Ka-shing live in luxury villas in Taiping Mountain, while the bottom of the third uncle and Ah Ping can only be squeezed into such a narrow rented house.

Xiangjiang's small territory and large population, coupled with years of full development, have made every level of the market extremely saturated, under this pressure, it is very difficult for the bottom to turn over, not by hard work.

In the mainland, if you are a small merchant such as Yusheng, you can still accumulate initial capital to expand your store through hard work and honest management, but it is difficult in Xiangjiang; Most of the money he earns every day is given to the landlord, and the rent of the shops in Xiangjiang is not cheap, and the rest has to be provided to the underworld, and the rest of the profits are not much left except for daily life.

Moreover, housing prices and rents often rise far faster than the rate of economic growth, and the development of Xiangjiang's economy has created many super-rich people, but it has not benefited the people at the bottom.

Therefore, many people at the bottom of Xiangjiang like to gamble, on the one hand, to find something to do to pass the time, to relieve the pressure of life, on the other hand, to pin the hope of making a fortune on gambling, because gambling, stock speculation, horse gambling and slim hope to turn over, it is basically impossible to work hard and get rich.

They have no culture, no capital, no way to be lawyers, white-collar workers...... It is even very difficult to start your own business, only a handful of strength or youthful body, but there are too many young people like this in Xiangjiang, and they can only mix food and clothing when they go to work in factories, and over the years, the factories in Xiangjiang have moved in batches, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities to find jobs, so they can only mix gangs, play cards and gamble.

This is also one of the reasons why gambling and gangster movies are popular in Xiangjiang, if you were born at the bottom of Xiangjiang, you graduated from a public school with average teaching quality, and you can't get into college and can't find a job, how many choices do you have?

"Where's my lighter?" Shen Long thought about it for a long time, but the third uncle still hadn't found his lighter.

Ah Xing's eyes blinked, pointed to the biscuit jar on the table and said, "Third uncle, the lighter is in that tin can." ”

The third uncle opened the biscuit jar, reached in and touched it, and really found the lighter, lit a cigarette and took two puffs, and continued to scold Ah Xing, but he didn't react yet, and didn't notice that Ah Xing could see the contents through the tin can.

Listening to this, Ah Xing suddenly became nervous, pointed to the opposite wall and shouted, "That little girl is going to fall, be careful, be careful, fall down!" ”

As soon as the words fell, they heard the sound of falling down next door, and then the cry of the little girl sounded, Hua Gu and the others hurriedly opened the door to see, and saw that the little girl was crying on the ground.

The third uncle turned his head suddenly, you can also see it through the wall?
