Chapter 184 Playing Poker
Chapter 184 Playing Poker
In the mid-1980s, the early winter in Northeast China was already quite cold, and the water in the ditches would be covered with a thin layer of ice in the morning.
Naughty children like to step on the ice, often breaking the thin ice and getting their shoes wet, and then being beaten by their parents when they see them.
I would get up early the next day and continue to play this exciting game secretly.
Han Changping put on his newly bought leather jacket early in the morning, tied cotton leg guards on his legs, put a layer of protective cover on the handlebars of his motorcycle, and then set off towards today's destination.
But when he actually rode it, he still felt very cold. Han Changping thought to himself that it seemed that this motorcycle had to be put aside for a while. He would try to get a used car and would not be able to ride a motorcycle anymore.
When winter really gets coldest, won’t you freeze to death if you ride this thing down to harvest food?
The car soon arrived at the village of second sister Han Yueyun. Xiao Desheng, who was still busy making ointment, saw Han Changping coming and quickly put down his work and came over.
"Xiao Si, is it cold out here?"
"It's better to ride a bike. It's really cold to ride a motorcycle. The wind is too strong."
As Han Changping spoke, he pushed the motorcycle into the yard and took off his helmet.
"Come inside and warm up."
Han Changping looked at the Acanthopanax senticosus that had fallen low and said,
"Third brother-in-law, I came here this time to tell you that the work of making ointment this year is over. You have to boil all these Acanthopanax senticosus stems.
We will start construction next spring when the flowers bloom."
"Okay, I've been thinking about calling you these days. Go in and have some hot water, and then we'll talk slowly."
Han Changping followed Xiao Desheng into the house, drank a bowl of hot water, and immediately felt warm.
"I'll finish the rest of these, and I'll have a truck come over in a few days to take them all away. I'll call it a day for this year."
"Xiao Si, Third Brother-in-law really has to thank you. If you hadn't helped Third Brother-in-law, how could we have made so much money?"
"We're a family, why are we being so polite? If it weren't for your ability, you wouldn't be able to earn this much money even if I wanted to help you."
Xiao Desheng smiled innocently, and seeing that there was no more water in Han Changping's bowl, he quickly filled it up again and sat down.
"You came just in time. As you can see, I don't have much work left. Why don't you stay here tonight? I'll have your third sister cook a few dishes and have a few drinks with your third brother-in-law. Okay?"
"Okay, we've been working hard all autumn, it's time to have a couple of drinks to celebrate."
"Okay then, Xiao Si, you go back first. I'll go to the store to buy some things and bring them back. I'll let your third sister cook."
"No hurry, brother-in-law, you work for a while. It's still early for dinner. I'll go back and see my third sister first."
"Okay, you go back first, I'll be back to talk to you soon."
Han Changping stood up, planning to leave the motorcycle here and walk towards Xiao Desheng's house.
Who knew that after just a few steps, he was called down by a middle-aged woman who looked familiar.
"Boss Han, it's Boss Han, right?"
The woman yelled and hurried towards Han Changping, saying with a smile on her face,
"When did Boss Han come? Hey..."
This woman was very different from the ordinary villagers. Her hair was combed so shiny that it looked like she had put two kilograms of hair oil on her head. It was so shiny that the oil was almost dripping down her neck.
They came closer, circled around Han Changping, and began to look at him, making praise sounds all the time.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at it, you are a rich man after all. It's a blessing for ordinary people like us to even take a look at this leather jacket. If a girl from another family marries you, it would be a blessing from eight generations of ancestors."
Han Changping couldn't remember who this woman was for a moment, but he still had his usual smile on his face and said,
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Have you finished harvesting the rice at home?"
"Well, it's over, it's over. Boss Han, you came at the right time today. I've just talked to your third sister about it and want to introduce you to someone first.
This girl is beautiful and looks very lucky. Whoever marries her will definitely have a good life in the future."
When Han Changping heard this, he hurriedly said,
"Sorry to bother you, sister-in-law. I haven't thought about finding a partner yet. Well, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Let's talk another day..."
"Hey hey hey...Okay, Boss Han, I'll bring the girl to you later. It doesn't matter if you take a look. Besides, if you two fall in love, isn't that a great thing?"
Han Changping quickened his pace, not wanting to chat about useless things with this woman whom he could not even remember.
"Uncle?"
Liangzi, who was playing Blockbuster with someone on the road, looked up and saw Han Changping. He immediately stood up, shouted something, turned around and ran away, making Han Changping frown.
Although Han Yueyun's Liangzi is two years older than Wang Xiaoyan, his IQ seems to be much lower.
Wang Xiaoyu has the personality of Hu Zi, who never suffers any loss and is fearless, but he never gets nervous when meeting people.
He wouldn't be like Liangzi, who just shouted and ran away without a trace.
"Mom, mom, mom, my uncle is here, my uncle is here..."
Han Changping saw that Liangzi did not run towards his own home, but ran towards a house opposite. Just as he was about to run, he heard a noise coming from the house.
"No, you can't leave. You can't leave after winning money."
"That's right, if you want to leave, just put down all the money you won before you leave."
"That's right, you want to leave just because you won money? How can that be possible?"
At once, the voices of men and women were heard, and then Han Yueyun's domineering voice shouted,
"Didn't you hear my brother is here? Besides, I've been losing money these past few days. Why should I leave it to you just because I won some money today? No."
"If you don't want to stay, then don't leave. Let's have fun later."
"What's wrong with you bullying me? I'm leaving today, what's it to you guys?"
"Every day you're arguing about how your family is rich, rich, huh... so all this money is so lame?"
“…”
Han Changping listened to the sound of Han Yueyun being surrounded and mocked in the house, raised his eyebrows, and walked into the yard.
As soon as I opened the door and walked into the inner room, I saw Han Yueyun, who had stood up, being blocked at the door by a woman and two men, who were pulling and tugging at her and wouldn't let her leave.
"Xiao Si, you're here?"
When Han Yueyun saw that it was Han Changping, her cheeks immediately turned red, like a child who had done something wrong, and she didn't dare to look over.
"What's going on? Do we have to wait until the winning time to play poker?"
"You want to leave after winning money? Are you playing?"
The woman who was pulling Han Yueyun shouted angrily.
"Xiao Si, me?"
"Okay, Third Sister, what time do you play until every day?"
"One o'clock in the afternoon,"
Han Yueyun said timidly.
"Okay, it's almost time for two meals. How about this, Third Sister, you go back and cook, and I'll play for you."
"Xiao Si, you never play with these things. Forget it, I'll just return the money to them."
"If you don't know how to play, you won't lose?"
Han Changping smiled and pulled away the two men blocking the door.
"Third sister, go back and cook. Come find me at the appointed time. It's okay to lose a few coins. We can leave at the agreed time."
