Chapter 44: Hidden Meaning

When Chen Jun and the two brothers of the Zhang family came back, Zhang Liang's wife had already fallen asleep, lying on the futon of the old Liu's daughter-in-law Xiaohong and snoring gently.

"I'm sorry, Sister Hong, I'll let my daughter-in-law get up."

After Zhang Liang laid out the futon, he scratched the back of his head and came to Sister Hong's side and said with some embarrassment, after all, they are newcomers, and it is not good to grab the position of Lao Liu's daughter-in-law as soon as they come up.

"It's okay, let her sleep, one of the reasons why the illness hasn't gotten better before may be because the room you lived in at the time was really too cold, and the second may be psychological factors, you may have been scared, and it's really not easy to get a cold, it's okay, child, I'll ask Xiaosun to help you bring it, you just tidy up your things first."

Although a little unkempt, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law has a good temperament, and after covering Zhang Liang's daughter-in-law with a quilt, she said to Zhang Liang gently.

"Thank you so much, sister-in-law, I ...... Thanks, thanks, trouble. ”

This is the first time that the Zhang brothers have felt the warmth of family after the end of the world, yes, it is family.

After entering the stronghold, their relationship with these old people was not as indifferent as the Zhang brothers thought, but quickly got acquainted with each other, and then supported each other, this feeling was ...... That's nice!

However, Zhang Liang was still embarrassed to let his woman lie on Xiaohong's bed, and gently picked up his daughter-in-law and put it on his futon, although it was definitely not as warm as Xiaohong's, but it was much stronger than in Zhang Xiang.

After looking at the time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Liu beckoned everyone to play cards to kill time, while the women went downstairs to the fourth floor to light a fire and cook, and add dinner tonight!

Xiao Zhao didn't know how to play poker, and the newly joined Zhang brothers felt that they were newcomers, so they didn't play, so they gathered around and watched Chen Jun and the four of them play cards.

"Four sharp! I'm gone. ”

Lao Liu held a cigarette in his mouth, stepped on the bench with one foot, threw the last four cards, and stretched out his hand to the three of them with a smile, without the appearance of a criminal policeman at all.

After all, he didn't care about gambling before, and he usually likes to play cards with his family when he has nothing to do with his family during the New Year's holidays, and he doesn't have much bad feeling about gambling, and now in the last days, there is no entertainment, and playing cards has become the best way for big guys to spend time.

"You're so lucky today, no wonder you can get so many things back, and you can still find two brothers to come back."

Lao Guo smiled and nodded to the Zhang brothers, then took out a large stack of red banknotes from his pocket and threw them to Lao Liu.

They gamble money, and they play not small, of course...... In the last days, money is as useless as waste paper, it is purely for fun, fooling oneself and playing with oneself.

happily put the money of the three people into his pocket, Lao Liu threw the cigarette butt on the ground, wiped his mouth, spit out a puff of cigarette and said.

"I'm glad to show you my poker skills, hey! It's hot, so eat it while it's hot. ”

I touched a box of canned braised pork on the stove, and when I found it hot, I asked my daughter-in-law to get some rice, opened the canned food and poured it over the rice.

"Damn it, I really haven't eaten meat for too long, it's really his grandmother's fragrance."

Mixing a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, Lao Guo's mouth was not idle, and he let out a sigh of praise while eating, and kept shouting cool.

"By the way, you've hidden this card deep enough, and there are two hits."

"Isn't that right? I wouldn't dare to play with you with both hands? You gang of grandson thieves who play poker with old ladies and hide big and small kings, you play too dirty! ”

Lao Liu pulled the rice and laughed heartily, so that everyone followed the joy.

Just pulled another mouthful of rice into his mouth, Lao Liu suddenly felt that Lao Guo's words meant something else, his smile froze slightly, and he looked up at Lao Guo, what meaning was in the eyes of the two, except for Chen Jun, it is estimated that no one present can know.

"What do you mean that we play cards with the old lady and hide the king? I said don't ruin our reputation, let's be careful? I can't even remember the cards! I can't play with you, I can't play with you~"

Eating the last grain of rice into his mouth, Lao Guo burped, threw the rice bowl aside and shook his head again and again, taking the initiative to admit defeat.

"Smack."

Chen Jun lit a cigarette, scratched his sideburns with his little thumb, and looked at Lao Liu and Lao Guo laughing slightly, and the three of them laughed happily in the inexplicable expressions of others.

"At first glance, you are not a person who often plays cards, when to play straight, when to play big cards are not good, so what are you playing? You have to kill with one hit! Keep your cards in your hands! Learn more from me, your brother Liu will teach you! ”

"I'm really not used to playing this card, how can I spend that little money a month? What else is poker played? I don't have that talent, I can't learn it......."

"Brother Liu, are you still playing? If you don't play, I'll take Ryoko and Matsuko to do some work. ”

Hearing Chen Jun say this, Lao Liu Yi frowned and asked curiously, "Work?" What do you do? ”

"It's getting colder and colder, and we're too far away from the stove, so we're going to go to the village to find a stove to press, otherwise it's really freezing enough."

To say that the cold is enough to choke is pure nonsense, Lao Liu The stove they are looking for is very big, and the fire is hot, plus there are so many people in the house, the thermometer has never dropped 20 degrees, it may be cooler than the temperature next to the stove, but it will definitely not freeze to death as Chen Jun said.

Therefore, what Chen Jun said about pressing the stove is definitely not superficial, Lao Liu looked at the two brothers of the Zhang family beside Chen Jun and nodded and understood.

Chen Jun is going to start anew!

"I see that you are not as cold as you say, otherwise Xiaotong will definitely be cold, if you want me to say what to do with that effort, I can make do with it, and I still waste firewood, you young people are still unwilling to look at the stove, don't give a room of people carbon dioxide poisoning when the time comes."

Chen Jun could hear the threat in Lao Liu's mouth, but he didn't hesitate at all, as if he didn't know what Lao Liu meant, and kept pretending to be stupid.

"No, Zhang Tong originally said that it was cold in the house, but at that time, it was just the two of us, and we could stand up, isn't it that Liangzi's daughter-in-law has a cold now, and she has a child, why don't you get a stove?"

Lao Guo also lit a cigarette, listened to the conversation between Lao Liu and Chen Jun with a hint of a smile, and watched the play silently with Erlang's legs crossed.

"Okay, then you hurry up and get it, otherwise it will be dangerous when it gets dark in a while, so hold on tight."

Lao Liu finally understood what it meant to raise tigers, and from this moment on, he suddenly found that he was a little out of control of the situation.

At the beginning, Lao Guo was good with him, Lao Cheng was his brother, Xiao Zhao was his loyal brother, Lao Hu and Xiao Zhang didn't dare to have any bad intentions because these four people were very united, he could easily command the overall situation.

Chen Jun has just started to enter the stronghold, and there is no change, so when did this situation start now?

After Lao Cheng's death!

Lao Cheng died, Lao Hu asked Chen Jun to kill, Lao Guo began to doubt himself, which led to him being estranged from Xiao Zhang, and the Zhang brothers identified Chen Jun because Chen Jun saved the life of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.

This series of accidents has led to the current situation, and after thinking about it for a while, Lao Liu found that the only one who is really standing in line with him now is this stupid Xiao Zhao!

However, Chen Jun has transformed into a small gang with the largest number and the strongest combat effectiveness among them.

Could it be that all this has been calculated by Chen Jun all along?

Lao Liu thought back to Chen Jun's previous words, as if he was really suspected of selling flaws to Lao Guo, but what Chen Jun said was much more hidden, he didn't think much about it at the time, and now that he thinks about it, it's really a bit wrong.

"That's okay, you guys play "fighting the landlord", let's go out, go. ”

Seeing Chen Jun patting his ass and letting the two brothers go downstairs with him, the banknote that Lao Liu was holding in his hand was squeezed tightly, turned his head to look at Lao Guo and Xiao Zhao who were smiling, exhaled lightly, opened a new set of pokers and threw it on the table and said.

"Open!"

“.......”
