Qin Yongjun has been busy calling friends to play mahjong every day recently, and the original East House guest room in Zhang Lan's old house was changed into a temporary chess and card room by her, and the air conditioning in the East House has never stopped, and there are more and more people playing mahjong gathered here in the old house.

On the sixth day of the new year, Zhang Lan simply cleaned up one of the two westernmost treatment rooms and lifted the table to the original treatment room. Now the resting place in the east is much quieter.

After eating at noon, Zhang Lan was lying on the sofa in the hall watching TV, and Qin Yongjun walked in from outside. Zhang Lan looked at her and said, "Why don't you fight?" ”

Qin Yongjun walked to the side of the sofa, slowly sat down on the sofa, and said with a sigh of relief: "What kind of mahjong are you playing with these two little things?" It's a game every three or five minutes, and it's too tiring to get up for a while. ”

"Just play two as a pastime, and I'm going to keep it all the time." Zhang Lan is not interested in playing cards and mahjong.

"It's okay to pass the time, there are more and more people gathered here, I see that the fun is getting bigger and bigger, you have to take care of it." Qin Yongjun opened his mouth and said.

This Zhang Lan really didn't know, he originally thought that it was Qin Yongjun who passed the time, and the top of five and ten pieces was actually getting bigger and bigger. He sat up from the couch and said, "How old are you all playing now?" ”

"I'm playing for five. I didn't want to play just now, they will be twenty as soon as they are on the table, and there are fishing, and some can get more than two hundred. Qin Yongjun said a number that surprised Zhang Lan.

"Isn't there a chess room in Murakami? What are we doing here to play so big? Zhang Lan asked with some confusion.

"I don't know, maybe it's because we don't draw money, or because no one checks. Now there's another table over there. Qin Yongjun thought for a while and said.

Zhang Lan was speechless, picked up the phone and called the village chief Zhang Dashan.

"Hey, Happy New Year, Zhang Lan, what's the matter with the call?" Zhang Dashan asked happily on the phone.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Dashan. It's nothing, it's up to you to be at home? I'm going to get you a drink. Zhang Lan also said with a smile.

"Come on, this will be a table with the people in our village at home, this is not much at the beginning, you are here just in time." Zhang Dashan invited Zhang Lan with a smile.

"Alright, I'll go over now. I've got good wine here, I'll bring it with me later. ”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yongjun asked, "What are you going to do when you call someone?" ”

Zhang Lan took two bottles of wine from the cabinet in the back suite, walked to the door and said while changing his shoes: "I'll go to the village chief to see, this can't be a chess and card room in our house, while this is just beginning, I'll ask what's going on." ”

When they arrived at Zhang Dashan's house, several people from the village committee were there, and Zhang Lan smiled and began to sit down and drink after greeting them one by one. After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Dashan asked with a smile: "Zhang Lan, what's the matter with you, the people in this village are here, and everything that can be solved will be solved for you." ”

After listening to Zhang Dashan's words, Zhang Lan looked at Zhang Dashan's smiling appearance, and said casually: "What can I do during the New Year, I just came here to find Uncle Dashan to drink some of you, this is not a year after I contracted the barren mountain in our village, what is going on over there in the future, Uncle Dashan, you can help me." ”

The smile on Zhang Dashan's face deepened, and he said, "Zhang Lan, you are too polite, this is all within your responsibility." Needless to say. ”

Coming out of Zhang Dashan's house, the smile on Zhang Lan's face instantly put away. After returning to the old house, sitting on the sofa, Zhang Lan thought about it and called his eldest brother Zhang Jialin, who was a senior friend of mah, and he must know the reason. After getting through, Zhang Jialin was playing mahjong in Zhang Lan's old house, and he came over after receiving the call.

"What's the matter with the call?" Zhang Jialin sat on the sofa and took a bite of the apple on the coffee table.

"Why don't these people who play mahjong go to the chess and card room in our village these days, why do they all come to my house?" Zhang Lan asked.

"There is a chess and card room in our village, which was opened by Zhang Dashan and his brother. His machine swiped the card one at a time, and the card was originally ten yuan a piece and swiped ten times, but this Chinese New Year became twenty yuan a piece ten times, and some people were reluctant to go. Zhang Jialin opened his mouth to explain.

"Then why is there no one else to open it?" Zhang Lan asked casually, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she knew how to ask more.

"Why didn't anyone open it before, and it couldn't be opened by the police station every day." Zhang Jialin said the reason.

Zhang Lan nodded thoughtfully, and said that when he was looking for Zhang Dashan to drink today, what he said sounded so awkward, it turned out that the chess and card room in the village was opened by his brother's family. A mahjong machine has at least ten games an hour, and there are five or six in the chess and card room. More than 100 net income per hour was mixed up by him.

Zhang Lan sat on the sofa and thought about the problem. It's not a matter for this old house to gather more and more, so after thinking about it, he asked, "Big brother, do you want to open a chess and card room?" ”

Zhang Jialin's hand stopped eating apples, looked at Zhang Lan and said, "I'm starting at home today, and there will be a police station at night, believe it or not." ”

Zhang Lan couldn't help but laugh and said, "According to your eldest brother, don't think about it except me." ”

"I'm telling the truth, who in the village doesn't know that Zhang Dashan and his brother's chess and card room give him more than half of the money in January, that is, you are at home for the past two days, otherwise try another one."

Zhang Lan sighed and said, "I don't want to open it at home, if it weren't for your brother and sister playing at home these two days, I would have put the table away." ”

"You can do it yourself. That's all there are now, and more in two days. Zhang Jialin said.

Zhang Lan turned around and asked, "Big brother, do you know what Zhang Hu is doing now?" ”

"I work part-time in Xiangshi, and I heard that I am selling second-hand cars. What does this do, you ask? ”

"If I can't see it, let Zhang Hu and his daughter-in-law Fang Xia become a chess and card room at home. Zhang Hu also knows a few people, and I heard you say that it is much better than going to work in January, but I don't know if he is willing or not. Zhang Lan said his suggestion.

"That's okay, what's not to want to do. I called Zhang Hu and asked them to come over. Zhang Jialin took out his mobile phone and began to call Zhang Hu.

After a while, Zhang Hu and his daughter-in-law Fang Xia came to the old mansion, exchanged greetings and sat down on the sofa. Fang Xia immediately spoke: "Zhang Lan, you can't repay your money in the past two years, and I will start to pay you back when I earn the money." It's just that I can't estimate it so much at once, and I have to pay you back separately. ”

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law just has your words." I came to you today to talk about this, or I have a business I want to ask if you and my brother are willing to do it? ”

"What kind of business? We don't have any capital now, and the tens of thousands of dollars on the credit card will be repaid at the end of the year to your brother's friend, and they are almost empty. Fang Xia said with some embarrassment.

Zhang Jialin on the side spoke: "Zhang Lan, you don't speak well at all. Fang Xia, let me tell you, in the past two days, there have been more and more people playing mahjong in Zhang Lan's family, and Zhang Lan is annoyed, so she wants to find someone from our family to form a chess and card room to pull people away. Now ask you two if you two dare to take this hand. ”
