Chapter 325
Although the New Year's Eve dinner is not a sumptuous meal, it is the most important meal of the year after all. It is also a rare "New Year's Eve dinner" for the family. The adults poured out their accumulated words over the New Year's Eve dinner.
The three brothers occasionally talked about their own affairs, but more often than not they listened to what the adults had to say. These words included memories of hardships and sweet memories, as well as current reflections, and more importantly, they expressed high expectations for the future.
Mu Yi and his father had two drinks, but they were not drunk. Because the four of them, father and son, were about to stage a "poker battle" - Dou Shi4.
Everyone helped Mother clear the table and prepared to put the table on the stove to warm the fire while playing cards.
Mother: "Hey, at this time in previous years, we should have fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, fried glutinous rice balls to wash away the sand. This year, there is no need to fry anything."
Father: "You are still not at ease waiting for you to play. I have bought melon seeds, peanuts, glutinous rice balls, noodles, tangerine and orange sugar ready-made for you. Go and grab some for everyone to eat."
Mother was cursing and grabbing melon seeds and peanut candies.
The four father and son have "rounded" the card table and are counting corn kernels.
Mother came out carrying the things with a smile.
"I didn't expect that you bought everyone's New Year clothes, pants, shoes and socks? Why didn't anyone tell us?"
Only then did my father reveal a proud smile. "Then I'll let you tell me. I didn't even have time to take it out when I came back yesterday, and you scolded me."
Fortunately, the adults did not continue to dwell on yesterday's topic.
At this time Xiaojie asked: "How big are we fighting?"
Brother Jun: "Just be careful. I haven't given out the new year's money yet."
Hearing Brother Jun say this, my father quickly stood up. "Pay it right away, pay it right away." After saying that, he ran into the bedroom. Soon he came out with a brand-new stack of banknotes. It was a brand-new ten yuan.
Father quickly counted ten and handed them to Brother Jun. Brother Jun took the money and counted them one by one slowly. After counting, he smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He kept saying, "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Dad."
I sent out the ones from Brother Jun, and then I sent out the ones from Xiaojie. They were also ten. Muyi watched his father send out the ones from his younger brothers, and he was still wondering if they would be sent to him. At this time, his father spoke.
"Boss is already at work, so I won't send any more messages."
Mu Yi smiled and said: "No more, no more."
Brother Jun looked at Mu Yi slyly: "Brother, you have joined the work and have a salary. Shouldn't you show us some respect?"
In fact, Mu Yi was prepared. He stood up and said, "I want to give it, I have to give it. Go and get it right away."
When he arrived on the second floor, Mu Yi opened the box and took four one-hundred-dollar bills. This was almost his monthly salary.
Mu Yi first gave Brother Jun a piece of money. After getting such a big piece of money, Brother Jun was naturally very happy. His mouth was like honey, and he called this "big brother" sweetly.
Then he sent another one to Xiaojie. Xiaojie smiled and put the money in his pocket.
Mu Yi then gave one to his mother.
Mother smiled and said: "Why does the boss still want to give us money?"
Mu Yi: "This is my filial piety to you. Even though it's not much, it's still a little bit of my heart."
Mother put the money away with a smile and praised Mu Yi for being sensible.
After his mother collected the money, Mu handed the last piece of money to his father.
Father: "Boss, what are you doing? Take it back quickly. You will have many places to use your money in the future."
Mu Yi: "Dad, just accept it. We'll talk about the rest later."
Seeing that my father was still pushing back, my mother took the money. "Your father is too embarrassed to ask for it, but I want it. I'll keep it for him."
Father: "Okay, okay. You can take it and keep it for safekeeping. You must keep it properly."
With the "huge sum" of new year's money, Brother Jun was a little excited. "Brother, let's go big."
Mu Yi: "How big is the fight?"
"It's five cents."
"It's hard to make up for five cents, and it's hard to calculate. Let's just get a lump sum." Xiaojie calmly doubled the number that Brother Jun said.
Mu Yi: "That's a bit big. If Suhu is all one piece, it would cost two yuan for one piece, four yuan for two times, eight yuan for three times, sixteen yuan for four times, thirty-two yuan for five times, and sixty-four yuan for six times.
The win or loss is really too big, right?”
Father: "We are all one family. If you lose, you will lose to one of your own, so we can seal it three times."
Xiaojie: "It's still the same old rules. If you make a mistake, cheat, or owe money, you'll be guaranteed three times."
Brother Jun: "No problem. Everyone rides everyone's horse."
Father: "Let's continue counting the corn kernels. There are twenty for each person. When the corn kernels are dry, buy them."
The four father and son began to shuffle, cut and draw the cards, playing Dou Shishi nervously and excitedly.
My mother, who is sitting aside, watches the Spring Festival Gala on TV for a while, and then looks at everyone's cards. She can't read, and she doesn't know how to play cards. The only thing she can understand is which of the cards is red. If all of them are red cards, she will
She would say "I got a good hand of cards". If all were black cards, she would say "It's all black". If it was red, three, black, four or red, four and black, she would say, "Three of the same, life is hard."
". Also, just by looking at which person has more money in front of him, she feels that he is lucky enough to win money.
My father was very lucky this year. After playing for a while, he almost won a pile of corn kernels. The first person to lose all the corn kernels was Mu Yi. He happily took out twenty yuan and took the lost corn kernels.
Redeemed.
The game continues...
"The four of you, father and son, are playing cards, and I don't know how to play cards. It's hard to play well. It would be great if I had a wife to watch TV with me." Mother seemed to be talking to herself, but also looked like she was talking to herself.
I deliberately told everyone, especially Mu Yi.
His father, who was holding the cards, took over the words. "Wan Qiu, what are you so worried about? A girl is clever, and a dog bites itself. The baby has grown up, and everyone has his own fate. Everything is fashionable now."
Free love is a 'two-way choice'. When the opportunity comes, maybe I will bring your wife back to you. When the time comes, let them teach you how to play mahjong. You four, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, will play your mahjong, and we, father and son,
Four people fight against us, fourteen. It’s so lively. It’s so comfortable.”
Mother: "You put it lightly. Which girl nowadays is not a good match for her husband's family? You don't even think about the conditions of your Mu family. Even if that girl falls in love with your son, what about his parents?"
If the parents don't agree, the play will not be easy to sing."
The conversation between his parents seemed like a casual conversation. Although Mu Yi's face looked calm, in fact, his world was already turbulent. Although he tried hard to control his emotions on the surface, but judging from the situation of his playing cards,
From the looks of it, his heart was no longer at peace. Continuous mistakes soon caused him to lose all the corn kernels.
He had no intention of fighting for the fourteenth day to redeem the corn kernels. However, the mother did not stop her topic. She continued to "strike while the iron is hot" and brought the topic to the wedding wine on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
"Old man Mu, you said that on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, we can get a lot of gift money?"
"Look at his uncle, they are chasing so many people, so we can only catch them. We can't get them here."
"They may be able to catch up to 500 yuan at most. But the second sister is still good to our family. The tuition fees for the eldest son's education were all borrowed from others, and they didn't ask us for a penny of interest. If they only catch up with that
I’m really sorry if I said a little bit.”
"So how many are you planning to catch?"
"There is a lot of catching up. You can take it and you can get it back. The exchange of favors is just for the eyes. Today I have something to do, so you rush to me. Tomorrow, if you have something to do, I will rush to you again. Rush over, rush over.
, just mess up this life."
Unexpectedly, my mother, who didn't know a single word, understood this human relationship thoroughly.
"So how many are you planning to catch?"
"I'm going to get five hundred yuan. Although this money is really not much money in their eyes, I only have this little ability."
"Okay. I'll give you the gift money when you leave. You guys should dress decently and go to the wedding banquet."
"The second sister said that the boss and her niece will meet on that day. The two of them can get along."
Mu Yi knew that his mother would definitely talk about this. Finally, he got to the point.
Mu Yi: "If you want to go, you can go. I won't go to the wedding banquet on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
Mother: "Look, old man Mu. This is your good son. Where is he still? He doesn't listen to your words anymore. His wings have grown hard and he is about to fly into the sky..."
