After his sister-in-law, Li Shuyuan, parked the car, she got out excitedly and returned the car keys to Zhang Long.
At that moment, Zhang Long and his two cousins were warming themselves by a brazier under the osmanthus tree by the door.
As it turns out, once you succeed, you'll be surrounded by good people.
Even their father's status among his brothers rose accordingly.
At this point, Jun suggested that the four of them play mahjong. The two sisters-in-law did not refuse. Perhaps it was because Zhang Long was there, but they both wanted to make a deeper impression on this young, handsome, and wealthy brother-in-law.
Who knows, maybe I'll need his help someday?
He was truly impressed, watching the seemingly frail Jun carry the mahjong machine with incredible speed and agility...
The group didn't play for much, just ten or twenty yuan.
Although Zhang Long's skills are not very good and he doesn't count cards, he has a lot of luck.
The four played all afternoon, and when the final tally was tallied, Jun, who had the most wins that afternoon, only won twenty or thirty yuan, less than Zhang Long, who hadn't made a sound.
The only loser present was his other cousin, Zhang Kang.
With a pained expression, he took out his phone from his pocket and started transferring money one by one using WeChat.
I had just finished dinner and hadn't even had a chance to rest when Jun dragged me away without saying a word, using the same old but irresistible excuse of "we're one short for mahjong".
He didn't believe that Jun-ge couldn't find someone else, but it was the New Year, and he didn't want to think about those messy things.
Zhang Long quickly opened his phone, logged into his Weibo account, and casually posted a hilarious "We're one short for a game of mahjong" meme, along with the caption: "We're one short for a game of mahjong tonight, so the live stream might be a little late~"
He casually dismissed the group of resentful fans who were eagerly waiting for his broadcast.
Time flew by and it was New Year's Eve. The whole village was filled with a strong festive atmosphere.
The village was filled with children running around in their new clothes, and the sounds of firecrackers and laughter were constant.
He turned on his live stream and said to his viewers, "Today, I'm taking you to set off firecrackers!"
As he spoke, he flipped the camera over to point it at the small cart of fireworks and firecrackers behind him.
He said smugly, "It's a pity that you city kids can't enjoy this kind of boyish happiness."
It's that same old face again.
Unexpectedly, the comment section was filled with the same sentiment today. It felt so good!
Instead, Zhang Long completely baffled him, and he frowned, beginning to question his own existence!
Zhang Long, dressed in heavy pajamas and holding a cell phone, followed by the miserable Zhang Hu pushing a cart full of all sorts of strange and wonderful fireworks, swaggered towards the crystal-clear stream in the village.
Because the truck was passing through a village, it didn't take long for the load of firecrackers to attract a lot of little kids with snot hanging from their noses.
When Zhang Long saw the notification in the live stream chat, he turned around and exclaimed, "Wow!"
There were at least a dozen kids following him, and he didn't want to cause trouble during the Chinese New Year.
So he took out 100 silver dollars and went to a nearby shop to buy a bunch of firecrackers for children to play with, and then gave them to the children to play elsewhere.
The main problem was that he wasn't sure how powerful these things were, and it would be difficult to handle if they accidentally hurt a child.
They stopped at an open spot by the stream, carefully observed for a moment, and finding no flammable items, called Zhang Hu to bring the cart over.
He first proudly showed off his treasures to the viewers in the live stream, then took out two incense sticks and lit them with a lighter.
I gave one to Zhang Hu. Since we're already here, let's play together.
Zhang Long placed his phone on a rock at a good angle, where he could clearly see the two people's activities.
Zhang Long took out a large firecracker, about the thickness of a thumb, lit the fuse with incense, covered it with a large stainless steel bowl he had brought from home, and then ran away.
After a while, a deafening roar was heard.
With that loud bang, the stainless steel bowl seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force and flew straight into the sky.
The viewers in the live stream were all shocked, and some complained in the chat that Zhang Long was doing something inhuman.
He just saw the firecrackers were about to go off, and in his fright, he put his phone away...
Just as many viewers were about to offer some words of comfort, that viewer added the following content.
He shoved the phone into his dog's ear.
His dog is still baring its teeth at him, and he even posted a picture of the dog baring its teeth while talking about it.
Fellow fans...
What's wrong with this world?
Fortunately, a series of explosions followed, pulling the group of viewers back to reality.
With each sound, the large bowl would fly a little higher into the air.
Today's MVP is undoubtedly that stainless steel bowl. After Zhang Long's eighty-one bombardments, apart from the inner wall being a little blackened, everything else was fine.
Fortunately, it's not the era of everyone selling products online yet, otherwise his fans would be criticizing him for trying to sell this stainless steel bowl.
Before we knew it, more than two hours had passed. Indeed, happy times are always short.
After the fireworks ended, Zhang Long picked up his phone and realized that it had run out of battery and shut down automatically.
Back home, Mom told the two brothers to start putting up Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns.
My dad was the one cooking in the kitchen; he was the head chef today.
In rural areas, the family reunion dinner on New Year's Eve usually starts around 2 or 3 pm, and then the dishes can be eaten for several days in a row.
After the two brothers finished their work, it was already past one o'clock, so they were too lazy to move and simply sat down next door at their second uncle's house with their two cousins to warm themselves by the fire.
Strangely enough, in his previous life he would have avoided his second uncle's two brothers like the plague. It seems that money is what gives a man courage.
Now there's no resistance, but I've actually become a bit more distant from the other brothers.
Just then, a white Volkswagen Tharu with a license plate from the neighboring Haizhou drove up.
Jun leaned close and whispered in his ear, "Just listen to whatever that liar Zhang Qing says for fun, don't take it seriously!"
Looking at the familiar car, his dead memories began to resurface. In his previous life, he wanted to buy a car, and Zhang Qing happened to find out. So he wanted to sell him this car, which looked quite new, for 80,000 yuan, and even swore that he was the older brother and would never lie to his own brother.
Fortunately, his other brother, Afu, found out and immediately called him to stop it.
He said that Zhang Qing has already cheated several of his brothers out of money, but you've never been home, so you have no idea about it.
Later, he secretly checked the vehicle's VIN and found that the car was almost totaled, yet it was still being called a "brother".
From then on, he never spoke to that person again.
