Chapter 1481 You must eat everything inside and outside
“Stop playing, let’s eat.”
At noon, Yang Guizhi and Ni Yinghong brought lunch from the kitchen to the main room and stopped the fierce battle. A hearty poker game.
“Tsk!”
Chu Heng dropped the leaf card in his hand with a look of reluctance, and looked at the two old ladies who were deaf and blinded, and the second aunt with a big belly who was confused from time to time. In fact, I don’t understand how I could win a dollar from the three of them?
It’s not a bad game either!
“Let’s continue playing later!”
The second aunt who won two cents smiled happily and put the cents worth of cents in front of her into her pocket.
“Yes!”
The two old ladies happily agreed.
"I don't want to play anymore, I'm not interested." Chu Heng, who had been losing money, pouted in excitement and was short of money. He got up and put on his shoes. Together with Ni Yinghong, he helped his second aunt and two old ladies to sit down at the dining table.
Because there was another big meal in the evening, Yang Guizhi and the others didn’t do much for lunch. They just fried a plate of shredded potatoes, steamed an air-dried chicken, plus a portion of mapo tofu and a plate of fried goods. , simply made four dishes.
The family had a casual lunch, and the little Nis who had already made preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner coaxed Huniu and Chu Zhecheng to sleep, and then set up in the old lady's room. A table of mahjong, watching the children play at the same time, without delay.
Seeing this, Chu Heng wanted to follow him to play mahjong, but his second aunt and the deaf old lady pushed him back and continued playing leaf tiles with a sigh.
Brothers Chu Qi and Chu Xue, who no longer had to look after the children, took the one dollar they asked Chu Heng for after dinner and ran to the grocery store to buy a bunch of firecrackers, setting off firecrackers all over the street. Went.
In this way, the time quickly and unconsciously came to three o'clock in the afternoon.
“Haha, what a fool!”
In the main room, Chu Heng, who had been losing for most of the day and almost three yuan, finally got better and made a little fool of himself. Putting down the leaf cards in his hands with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hands to the second aunt and the three of them, urging: "Give me money, give me money."
"I think you are really poor and crazy, what? You're so stupid with all the bad cards!" The second aunt, who was holding a good hand of cards, frowned and threw away the cards in her hand. She gave him a penny and waved her hand sadly: "I won't play anymore. I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. I'll go later."
"Just in time, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the house to rest, otherwise I won't be able to eat dumplings at night." Seeing this, the deaf old lady got up and prepared to put on her clothes. Shoes back to the house.
Mrs. Wu Xiumei followed closely behind.
"No! What are you doing? I just won once and you won't play anymore?" Chu Heng sat on the Arhat bed in a daze.
“What are you talking about?”
The deaf old lady was selectively deaf again. She glanced at him blankly, then held hands with her sister and walked out of the house, supporting each other. .
The second aunt also silently held her belly and walked out together, going to Chu Heng’s room to rest.
Now that this kid has started to win money, this game of leaf cards is no longer interesting. Why play?
“You guys really did it!”
Chu Heng looked at them dumbfounded and ran away after winning the money. After cleaning up the mess in silence, he lazily went to the Arhat bed. I lay down, turned on the radio and listened to the cross talk, and fell asleep in a short while.
Not long after he fell asleep, Xiao Ni and others who were playing mahjong in the old lady's room came out of the house, went to the kitchen again, and began to formally prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. Not long after, bursts of fragrance filled the courtyard, and finally rushed into the sky, blending with the smoke of fireworks that shrouded the sky above Sijiu City.
At around five o'clock, Chu Jianshe came over after get off work and woke up Chu Heng, who was sleeping soundly.
“It’s time to get off work, second uncle.”
He sat up in a daze, looked at Chu Jianshe who was sitting at the dining table eating melon seeds, and asked casually: “Where are you today? What's going on in the bureau?"
The second uncle curled his lips and said, "That's right. The work has been done long ago, what else can I do? Just drink tea and chat. I drank a lot of tea and ran to the toilet four or five times. "
"Then you. Who can be blamed? You didn’t decide not to take a holiday at thirty, it’s your own fault!” Chu Heng bared his teeth in amusement.
"Are you looking for a fight? Have you ever said that about your second uncle?" Chu Jianshe glared at him and said angrily: "You think I am willing to go through trouble? Don't you have to follow the crowd, otherwise you will definitely get it? Someone is talking about something."
"Yes, the tide of troubled times..."
Chu Hengdian. He nodded to express his understanding, then dropped the topic and asked instead: "Hey, by the way, have you decided where the Kant we are talking about will be arranged?"
"Retired in the bureau Being appointed deputy director of the Cadre Department is considered a promotion." Chu Jianshe smiled and picked up the teapot on the table and got himself a cup of tea.
“Why is he still working in the elderly care department at his age?” Chu Heng asked in surprise.
It is difficult to achieve anything in a place like the Retired Cadres Office, so the people assigned there are basically people in a semi-retired state.
And Kant is indeed in the prime of life now, which is not true.
"Otherwise, where else would he want to go? Who would dare to use someone like him who eats everything inside and out?" Chu Jianshe snorted disdainfully, obviously not liking this person very much: "That's all for my sake. You are trying your best to save your face. When we met before, there were still people who wanted to He is sent to stay in the countryside."
"Tsk, I don't know what this guy is thinking. He doesn't know who he is living with." Chu Heng also knew that Kande was close to Leader Li in the district. He shook his head and didn't mention him again, and chatted with his second uncle about the focus of the Grain Bureau's work this year.
We chatted like this for almost half an hour. After drinking a few cups of tea, Chu Heng got up and went to the toilet. When he came back, he happened to meet Ni Yinghong coming from the front yard.
Seeing the man, Xiao Ni quickly said: "I was looking for you. Hurry up and take the big table to the main room. Dinner will be served soon."
"Okay!"
Chu Heng hurried back to the main room and called out his second uncle. The two of them went to Ni Yinghong's bird-raising room and brought out a table large enough for fifteen or sixteen people to sit and eat together.
He specially asked Mavericks and Xiao Ma to touch this tabletop two days ago, just to deal with a situation like today when there are many people at home.
The uncle and nephew carried the tabletop to the main room with a squeaking noise, and piled it on the dining table. After a while, the eldest cousin brought a tray over first, with four cold dishes in it, namely Zhayou, spiced peanuts, croquettes, mustard mounds, and a bunch of bowls and chopsticks.
"Second uncle, what kind of wine do you want to drink?" After Chu Heng helped place the dishes and chopsticks, he turned to look at Chu Jianshe, who was leaning on the Arhat's bed and playing with the radio.
The second uncle glanced at him and said with a smile: "I want to drink your jar of fifty-year-old Shaoxing Nuerhong, are you willing to give it up?"
"You have such eloquent words, but we have to take it even if you are not willing to part with it. Ah." said Chu Heng turned around and left the room, went to the room where he kept the tiger penis wine, and randomly selected one of the several small jars in the corner where the other party was next to each other. Then he got a basin of warm water and brought it back to the main room to warm the wine. Come on, get ready to drink.
Second uncle looked at it with a smile on his face. He had been coveting his eldest nephew's jars for a long time, but he never found a chance to let the boy take them out to drink. Today he can finally get what he wanted.
