Chapter Twenty-Nine: Gambling
After solving the trouble of the Lin family, Lin Qiu's family passed calmly for a few days, and Lin Qiu would always take monkeys and dogs and children to get up early to go to the town to sell the braised meat made by his mother.
However, on a cloudless morning, an unexpected man came up to the door.
"Lin Qiu, good morning." Zhou Zhennan walked in the door with a smile.
"Uncle Zhou, why are you here?" Lin Qiu was surprised when he saw this person he hadn't seen for a long time, and he subconsciously looked back.
"Lin Qiu!" At this time, a little girl wearing a floral skirt suddenly appeared in his field of vision, it was Zhou Xiaotong, who had been carefully dressed.
The girl's figure is good, her dense hair is tied into a long braid, and the bottom of the braid is tied by a yellow ribbon, which is pulled by the girl and put on her shoulder, adding a touch of gentleness and vitality to the girl who has always been grinning.
The ribbon swayed with the girl's movements, looking like the tail of a kitten, attracting people's eyes, Lin Qiu was unconsciously dazzled, until Zhou Zhennan's cough reached his ear, making him come back to his senses.
Lin Qiu suddenly realized that he was staring at his daughter for a long time in front of the girl's father, and couldn't help blushing.
Zhou Zhennan took care of the young man's shame and did not continue to laugh.
"There's a live football game on TV tonight, do you want to watch it with me? It's in the city, I'll take you there, and I'll bring you back, and it won't take a few days. ”
Lin Qiu suddenly remembered that there was indeed a big football game at this stage of time, and there was even a big upset, and this matter was talked about for a long time, and there were still people discussing it until he started school.
This is also an opportunity to make money, he can try his hand at gambling, and with the help of this big upset, he should be able to make another big profit.
"But Uncle Zhou, won't this be too troublesome for you? You took us last time, this time ......"
Zhou Zhennan saw the young man's hesitation, and said directly: "The football game is only beautiful when someone accompanies it, and Xiaotong also wants to go, she asked me to call you too, how can I not agree."
Hearing that it was Zhou Xiaotong's suggestion, his heart was sweet, and he no longer cared about it so much.
He nodded and agreed to Zhou Zhennan's proposal, and then asked his mother's suggestion under Zhou Zhennan's reminder.
Hearing that Zhou Zhennan was going to take them, Lin Qiu's mother no longer objected, but just whispered to Lin Qiu: "You follow your Uncle Zhou, you must remember to be obedient, don't cause any trouble to others, do you hear?"
"I know." Lin Qiu replied seriously.
Seeing her son's serious look, she knew that he had listened, and Lin Qiu's mother didn't say anything more.
went back and simply packed up his things, and got into Zhou Zhennan's car with the monkeys.
Once again, he set foot on the road to the city, but this time the car was more lively than the last time, a group of teenagers chatted with Zhou Zhennan, and arrived at their destination unconsciously.
As soon as they got out of the car and said hello to Zhou Zhennan, they took Zhou Xiaotong out to play together.
Zhou Zhennan just told them to remember to come back at night and pay attention to safety, so he didn't say anything more, after all, they had been here for a while two days ago, but they were also familiar with this section of the road.
It was the first time for the three of them to come to the city, so they were extremely excited to see this novel scene, and Lin Qiu had no choice but to pay more attention to them to prevent them from getting lost.
Until the evening, they returned to the hotel, and Zhou Zhennan beckoned them to watch a football match.
They went to a relatively simple broadcast hall, and they could see that the protagonist of the day was surrounded by everyone, and the television that broadcast scenes thousands of miles away was dimly lit, but the figures could still be seen clearly.
There are already a lot of people gathered there, and it is very lively.
There was a table in a corner, and Lin Qiu knew that it was the location of the gambling ball, and it was also the place where he was going to make money in a while.
The atmosphere in the broadcast hall reached a climax as the broadcast of the football match appeared on TV.
The images broadcast on TV mobilized everyone's emotions, and every time a goal was scored, the crowd in front of the TV would hear a cheer or a sigh.
People who come here to watch TV, they all bring some snacks or home-brewed wine, and people who don't know each other bring their own wine glasses to talk about what they know.
In the face of these, Lin Qiu just sat quietly in his place and watched TV, occasionally cheering or sighing with the crowd.
Finally, the two countries of Maldona and Barry played, Lin Qiu finally saw the game he was looking forward to, he pulled Zhou Zhennan's sleeve and said to him:
"Uncle Zhou, I want to try gambling, can I go?"
Zhou Zhennan thought in his heart, anyway, this little activity is harmless, just let him go, but there is a mixture of fish and dragons here, and it is a little uneasy to let him go by himself as a child.
So Zhou Zhennan decided to go with him.
"Yes, but I'm going to follow you so I don't get lost." Zhou Zhennan said.
Lin Qiu knew that he was kind-hearted, so he didn't refuse.
When they arrived at their destination, there were already some people there to gamble. Obviously, Barry has the highest win rate, and there are not many of them.
Lin Qiu stepped forward, took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and said, "I want to press Maldona to win." ”
The staff who recorded there heard a relatively immature voice and looked up to see that it was a young boy who had just become an adult and said that he wanted to gamble with a hundred yuan.
"Child, whose family are you? You can't steal this money from your parents, right? I want to remind you, if you lose this money, you will lose, and if you don't come back then, are you sure you still want to gamble? ”
The people around heard the movement here, turned their heads to see that it was a child, and some well-wishers persuaded Lin Qiu and said: "You may not understand it very well, but Bari has always won a lot of football in these two countries, if you want to win, it is best to choose Bari." ”
"That's right, kid, it's not us Kuang you, we've watched football for so many years, don't talk about anything else, let's just say who plays better, we still know better."
Of course, the vast majority of people still stand aside and watch the excitement, not participating or stirring up.
Lin Qiu knew that the two people who talked to him were kind, but he knew that this game would be an upset, so he shook his head firmly, indicating that he was choosing Maldona.
Seeing that this child was so determined, those people didn't say anything, just shook their heads and sighed, it is estimated that this child will cry for a while.
The movement here attracted more and more people, and after the science popularization of the people next to them, they understood what the situation was, and more and more people chose Barry in order to join in the fun.
Only occasionally a few people saw that the child was so determined, and their hearts were shaken, and they invested a little money in Maldona, and regarded it as a play.
