"Haha, thank you Mr. Guo for the reward!"
At around ten o'clock in the night, Chu Heng, who relied on his superb skills of cheating and substituting, took the money from Guo Kai with a smile, and then raised his hand to look at the time. Seeing that it was already late, he proposed to the others with a smile. : "Are we done? It's already past ten o'clock. We have to go home and eat dumplings."
"Then let's break up. We're almost losing money anyway." He Zishi smiled bitterly, picked up the only fifty cents left on the table and put it into his pocket. He glanced at Chu Heng and sighed: "I won't say anything next year. I’m kidding you, I’ve saved all my pocket money for a year, and you won it all in the blink of an eye! How will I live my life in the future?”
"Squad leader, you are really good at playing mahjong!" Hu Zhengwen couldn't help but sigh. As for the money he lost, he didn't feel bad about it. His family Xiao Zhang was very kind to him. He never limited his pocket money and gave it to him after he spent it. , I don’t know how many people envy you.
"Master Chu, why don't I call you master? Can you give me a refund? Five yuan, just five yuan." Guo Kai, who had to wear his pants as a loser, held Chu Heng's hand pitifully and begged regardless of his shame: "That's three months of my pocket money. If you win all of it, I won't have any money to buy cigarettes for three months!"
"Gungun, it's useless to call me ancestor. I won it with my own ability, why should I give it back to you?" Chu Heng pushed him away ruthlessly, turned to greet Ge Erni who was making dough and preparing to make dumplings: "Let's go. Brothers and sisters, take your children to my place for a walk someday when you are free, Ni Yinghong has talked about you several times."
"Are you leaving now? Let's eat the dumplings here before leaving. I made extra noodles on purpose." Ge Erni quickly put down what she was doing and tried to persuade them.
"No, how can you eat dumplings at someone else's house during the Chinese New Year?" Chu Heng shook his head with a smile, and then he and He Zishi came out of the house accompanied by Guo Kai and his wife.
"See you later, monitor."
"Hey, I'll treat you to a drink at Donglaishun another day."
"Who will invite you if you don't invite me? My pocket is cleaner than my face now."
"Tsk, tsk, look at your aggressive nature. It's embarrassing for a man to let his wife control him like this!"
"Come on, who among us doesn't know who? Your Ni Yinghong looked at me, you are more obedient than a dog!"
"That's my love!"
"Am I not?"
"tui!"
"tui!"
After chatting with He Zishi downstairs and waving to Hu Zhengwen, Chu Heng turned around and got into the cold Volga, started the car and drove away.
After he arrived all the way home, he was also making dumplings at home.
Except for Little Huniu and Chu Zhecheng who had already fallen asleep, the whole family was gathered lively in the main room, listening to the model opera on the radio and making dumplings while talking and laughing.
The second uncle was still sleeping at this time, and his loud snoring could be heard outside the courtyard.
"Squeak!"
"It's so cold!"
Chu Heng pushed the door open and entered the house. He had just come from the cold outdoors to the warm indoors. He couldn't help shivering, so he quickly took off his clothes and hung them on the hangers at the door.
"How is it? Lose or win?" Ni Yinghong put a snow-white dumpling like an ingot aside and looked at her husband with a smile.
"Kill everyone!"
Chu Heng walked forward with a glowing face, took out more than forty odd bills from his pocket and handed it to his wife: "Take it and spend it on whatever you want, go out to a restaurant with friends, buy clothes or whatever, don't leave anything behind. This windfall must be spent.”
"Yeah." Xiao Ni happily put away the money, but in her heart she was thinking about buying another piece of Deliang to make a shirt for her husband. He looks best in shirts.
"so much?"
The second aunt glanced at the thick wad of money and roughly estimated the amount. She couldn't help but frown and asked, "How big are you playing?"
"Hey, this is just the New Year. Guo Kai and I have to come to this event every year." Chu Heng quickly explained. After seeing that the second aunt's face became better, he turned around and went to the washstand to wash his hands. , then returned to the table, sat down, and made dumplings with the others.
The family chatted and laughed, and soon the dumplings were wrapped.
"Cooking dumplings!"
With a shout, Yang Guizhi and her eldest cousin walked out of the main room carrying the freshly made dumplings and walked to the front yard kitchen.
Chu Qi and Chu Xue, who couldn't wait any longer, followed closely behind, euphemistically saying they were going to take action, but in reality they wanted to eat a few to satisfy their cravings after the dumplings were cooked.
A child's mouth is always a bottomless pit, and no matter how much delicious food he eats, it is never enough.
After a while, the dumplings were cooked. Yang Guizhi also heated up some of the leftovers from the evening and served them together with the dumplings.
"Second uncle, second uncle!"
While they were bringing dumplings and vegetables into the room, Chu Heng came to the Arhat bed, pulled up Chu Jianshe who was still sleeping soundly, and pulled him back to the table to sit down after his phone was forcibly turned on. , poured wine for him, and touched them together.
"cheers!"
Chu Jianshe took a drowsy sip of wine and ate dumplings like a puppet. He didn't come back to his senses until he came out of Chu's courtyard with his wife and children after eating the dumplings and was driven home by Chu Heng. He came, frowned and rubbed his temples with a painful expression, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never drink rice wine again.
It didn't take long.
Chu Heng sent his second uncle and his family back to the family home of the Grain Bureau. After he helped send his second uncle, who was still a little dizzy, back home, he didn't stay long, turned around and drove away.
When he returned home, Ni Yinghong, Yang Guizhi, Duan Fenchun, and Qin Jingru set up the mahjong table in the main room again, and threatened to fight until dawn.
After Chu Heng watched happily for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore. He went to add some coal to the boiler in a huff, and then ran back to the bedroom to sleep.
The main room was buzzing with thoughts, and from time to time I could hear my eldest cousin’s laughter like a barbell.
It looks like he won.
…
The next day.
At around six o'clock in the morning, after playing mahjong for most of the night, Ni Yinghong and the girls, who went to bed at almost four o'clock, had to get up from the bed with dark circles under their eyes. They ate some breakfast in a hurry, feeling regretful that they should not stay up late. Went to work listlessly.
Chu Heng also had to go to work at the Grain Management Office today, but because he had to go to Kande to hand over, he needed to wait for someone from the bureau, so he didn't have to go too early, so he didn't go with Ni Yinghong and the others.
After he had breakfast, Little Hu Niu took him to the yard to play with a ball.
The gameplay between the two is also simple. Chu Heng kicks the ball out, and Little Huniu picks it up and puts it back at his feet. After that, she kicks the ball again, picks it up again, and so on.
This is what Huniu learned two days ago when she watched Chu Heng playing with dogs, and she liked it very much...
"Dong dong dong!"
The father and daughter had been playing in the yard for a while. At almost seven o'clock, they heard someone knocking on the door.
Chu Heng immediately guessed that someone was coming to pay New Year's greetings, so he bent down and picked up the little Huniu who was getting ready to pick up the ball. He said softly: "There are guests at home. My godfather has to entertain us. How about we wait until godfather comes back from get off work and play again?"
"Um."
Although he was not fully enjoying himself, the little guy nodded obediently and did not cry or make a fuss.
"So good!"
Chu Heng smiled and kissed Huniu on the cheek.
