Chapter 361 Gathering
Shi Xinhou decided to have a good talk with Hang Zhuyu. When he and Hang Zhuyu said that he wanted to talk to her, Hang Zhuyu just happened to have something to tell him. The two hit it off and closed the door and had a secret conversation in the room.
tried to persuade each other, but they broke up in the end, and Hang Zhuyu disappeared in the county town a few days later.
The youngest son of the Shi family, Shi Zhixiang, and most of the valuables and cash in the family disappeared with her.
Shi Xin was furious, and declared in the newspaper that he and Hang Zhuyu were divorced. After that, the Shi family never saw Hang Zhuyu again, nor did he even bring the third child of the Shi family.
February 5th, Spring Festival.
The Hu family, the Yang family, and the Li family next door all gathered in the Li family's large courtyard. When they came, they brought two of their own specialties.
It is called a dinner party, but in fact, everyone thinks of the Li family to have a lively time, and by the way, they eat the good food of the Li family.
Grandpa Li welcomes everyone who comes here. The family has not been so lively for a long time. As people get older, they like to be more lively. When they see a lot of people, they also eat two more bites.
The only regret is that Father Li didn't come home. Grandpa Li regretted in his heart, and was attracted by the excitement in front of him again.
It turned out that a group of people were playing mahjong around the table. Speaking of mahjong, the history of mahjong is still very long, but the current way of playing is different from the later ones.
The later ones are more entertaining and easier to pick up. Li Xiaoyu's idea is to let everyone in the family know it, and in the future, they can form several groups, and everyone can have fun.
Old man Yan is quite familiar with this, because he played a lot when he was young, and they called it 'horse hanging'.
Now it is called "Mahjong" by Li Xiaoyu, and the gameplay is also different, what is called "Blood Battle".
The word is a bit new, so old man Yan has been immersed in mahjong, which makes Grandpa Li feel itchy and itchy. Seeing him firing guns, he was in a hurry and wanted to pull Old Man Yan off the table and let him do it.
This phenomenon has occurred in the Li family from time to time, but it has always been between more people and less mahjong, so it can only be played in turns.
Whoever loses gets out of the table, making a group of newbies anxiously circling around the table, looking around, commenting that the people at the table are playing badly, and all the cards of the people at the table are leaked.
Li Xiaoyu, who has a great sense of achievement, lamented that someone can finally play mahjong together. But after teaching a group of people to fight 'blood battle', Li Xiaoyu was gone, because she lost her share.
The mahjong I use now is still from the old man Yan’s house. This is a pair of mahjong made of white jade. It is hand-carved and has a warm texture.
There are more people and less mahjong, so he didn't dare to take heavy games, so Li Xiaoyu had to teach a few people who were sitting on the sidelines to make mahjong made of paper.
Although the paper ones don’t feel very good, just like playing poker, they are still very interesting for new learners.
Grandpa Li, Old Man Yan, Ergu Li, and Chengyi Li played jade mahjong, while Hu Jianshe, Yang Kaiwen, Li Weiguo and Li Chengji played paper mahjong.
Li Xiaoyu didn't play mahjong, so he focused on catching the husband and mahjong of the people at the table. Later, as long as she stood by that person's side, she would be bribed with a penny.
There were three little ones behind her. What was even more funny was that the two dragons and phoenixes each carried a basket in their hands, which was full of penny, coin, and banknote.
The one-cent mahjong game played by the people on the table, but Li Xiaoyu and the three little ones were the big winners. In the end, the four people evenly shared fifty-two cents.
Although mahjong is small, it has brought endless joy to the whole family, and it has also made them think about mahjong during the party.
As long as he has free time, he will gather at Li's house to play mahjong, and the whole Spring Festival is happy and annoyed. Happy to have such a fresh card as mahjong, but annoyed that the card is wrong.
How about the other people, Li Xiaoyu takes the three little ones and doesn't care, as long as they have the money to collect them. Under the coercion of money, there are very few Xianggong and Ma paste appear.
The four people were also unemployed, and the dragon and the phoenix sighed for a long time, saying that such a good opportunity to make money is gone? Let the people at the poker table stare for a while.
On the eighth day, Li Wuye, Li Shuangming, and Li Jianyuan entered the county seat. Li Wuye, who had stayed in the provincial capital, felt that he had returned to the countryside for many years at the moment of leaving the station. He walked out for the first time, but he was a little unsuitable for the crowded environment.
A few people followed the address left by Li’s father at the time, and found Zhuangyuan Street all the way. Shocked by the quaint large courtyard of the Li family, even Fifth Master Li was a little timid. Looking at his muddy shoes, a few people stopped at the gate for a while.
"Grandpa Fifth, why don't you go in! There are people at home." Li Chengji, who came back from Yuan Hui's house, saw three people standing at the door of the house, and he was still thinking, who is standing at the door of his own house, maybe he has some ideas.
I didn't expect it to be someone I knew, and hurriedly greeted the slightly reserved three people into the courtyard.
"Grandpa, look who's here? Didn't you keep saying that no one came to see you? That's it!"
Grandpa Li, who heard Li Chengji's shout, went out of the main room to see who came to see him, the old guy. Seeing that it was his younger brother, he was so excited that he quickly stepped forward and pulled Li Wuye.
"You are finally willing to come and see me. If you don't come out, I will go into the ground. You can't even see it."
"Bah, third brother, what are you talking about? You can't say auspicious words when you are a New Year's Eve. Third brother, give me a cigarette, I haven't smoked real tobacco for a long time."
Grandpa Li brought him the wrapped cigarette, and said, "I wrapped it, it's not because that person can't smoke it, Old Man Yan has to do it himself.
You must be smoking weeds at home! Those old things must be the same, they didn't grab your cigarettes? "
Li Wuye clenched the cigarette stick tightly, lit it, and took a few puffs. He didn't even have time to reply. After a cigarette is finished, there is time to talk.
"Why don't you grab it, I don't even dare to take out the door, even if I leave it at home, I have to hide it, otherwise they will definitely be picked up by them."
Grandpa Li saw that he had finished smoking a cigarette, and then handed him another one, so that he could enjoy himself first. The old smoker naturally understood the taste of smoking without cigarettes.
"It's rare to come out once, so should you stay for a few more days? You give me a good deal of the village affairs. After this, it will not be easy for me to go back once.
They are all busy, and no one accompanies me back. When people are old, they don't let anyone go out by themselves, saying that they are afraid of what will happen. "
Humph, the third brother is showing off that his nephew's family values him again and wants to make him envious. He is not, his son is also very good, and he will be with him when he goes out.
After the two brothers finished smoking, they started talking about some trivial matters in the village. Even if it was trivial, Grandpa Li enjoyed it.
Old Man Yan sat and listened to them quietly, as if he was a stone, but he was very envious of Old Man Li in his heart.
