"Meng Hechuan, what do you mean? What do you mean she is yours?"
Cousin Xu's eyes widened in anger, and he stood up for Xu Qingqing, "What is the relationship between you two?"
Meng Hechuan didn't answer, but just removed his hand from Bai Yan's shoulder, took out a few banknotes from his wallet, and lightly placed them on the table.
"When you fight him, you are representing the Institute. The Institute never loses in brain games."
Lu Jili whistled as he played, urging cousin Xu: "Increase the bet!"
With the "gambling money", Bai Yan was obviously more confident and acted more decisively.
I don’t know if she was really possessed by the God of Gamblers or if she had adapted to the playing style of Jingzhou Mahjong.
After this round, I won three times by myself and won twice with my cousin Xu.
"It's the last lap, Brother Xu. If you lose again, you'll be in trouble!"
...
...
Xu Qingqing thought that there were people in the cottage who could support her, so she followed in.
After watching for a while, I saw that Bai Yan won every game.
But every time she won a game, she would raise her face and raise her eyebrows to Meng Hechuan.
Xu Qingqing's face looked even uglier than cousin Xu's cards.
She didn't want Bai Yan to be so proud, so she rolled her eyes and poked Zhihua calmly.
Bai Yan lazily leaned on her elbows and narrowed her eyes. "Don't bother Comrade Zhihua to tip off. You can go back and tell Squad Leader Xu that I want 400,000 or 80,000."
When she turned her head, her hair just happened to brush Meng Hechuan who was sitting nearby watching the game.
A few strands of black hair fell on the back of his hand.
He leaned back in his wooden chair, pressing against the backrest to control the itch in his heart.
Xu Qingqing frowned and didn't want to see the ending anymore. She glared at her cousin Xu fiercely before leaving.
I originally wanted to vent her anger, but ended up getting killed in return.
Not only did he lose face in front of Xu Qingqing, but he also lost all his allowance for this month.
He gritted his teeth. As the saying goes, all is fair in war. He didn't believe Bai Yan would tell the truth to Xu Qingqing.
After thinking about it, he opened the pair in his hand and threw out a card of 40,000.
"I won." Bai Yan pushed the cards with a smile and tilted her head excitedly, "I won, Chief Engineer Meng!"
Meng Hechuan calmly pulled away the hand that was grabbing his sleeve because of excitement, "As expected."
"What do you mean by expected? Everyone knows that you, Master Meng, have a physique that attracts money. It doesn't matter where you sit, the feng shui will be good! You will get whatever you want."
Although it felt good to make Cousin Xu lose, Xu Huiyun had lost all her chips, so no one would treat her to mutton hotpot.
Of course Lu Jili was unhappy.
Fortunately, Lian Xun came in with a big cream cake, and everyone surrounded Lu Jili to give him their blessings.
The cake on the table was decorated with pink cream petals, which were unique to the 1980s and 1990s.
Bai Yan was rarely seen in later generations, so he couldn't help but find it interesting and took a few more glances at her.
"You're from the countryside, haven't you ever seen a cake?" Xu Qingqing sneered again, pushing Bai Yan away, "Every year on Lu Jili's birthday, we have to take a group photo together. Move aside."
Bai Yan was pushed to the back.
She didn't care and continued to clapping along with the music on the tape and humming "Happy Birthday".
"Bai Yan."
Someone was calling her across the crowd.
Meng Hechuan stood beside Lu Jili, his eyes flickering under the yellow light, looking unreal.
Bai Yan wasn't even sure if he was calling her just now.
"Sister Ayan, come here! Let's take a photo together!" Lu Jili also noticed her and waved, "Don't be alone."
Meng Hechuan and Lu Jili stood side by side in the middle, one with the temperament of a pine tree, and the other as elegant as a crane.
Today I am surrounded and praised by everyone.
But who could have imagined what their future would be like?
One made a mistake and the other died young.
It's pitiful, regrettable and lamentable.
Bai Yan shook her head and said, "I'm just here to arrange the flowers temporarily, so I won't bother you."
I don’t know if it was because she thought of the bad endings of Meng Hechuan and Lu Jili in the original book, but Bai Yan’s originally happy mood suddenly became dull.
While everyone was dividing the cake, she hid in the yard outside.
There were a few people sitting in the yard, roasting a small charcoal stove with a few sweet potatoes on it.
Hearing someone coming out, he turned his head to look, then raised his hand and shook the glass bottle in his hand: "Want to drink, little comrade?"
Bai Yan played several rounds of mahjong and her mouth was dry, so she thanked him in a low voice.
The soda in the glass bottle is still yellow, and it tastes like bubbles when you take a sip.
At first, Bai Yan kept some distance from them and was quite reserved. She was only focused on drinking the soda she had just opened.
As a result, after one of them gave Bai Yan half of the sweet potato, she moved her chair and sat over to chat with them.
As we chatted, my eyelids gradually became heavy.
"Teacher, Teacher Bai..."
Bai Yan felt someone shaking her arm. She felt that she was conscious, but she couldn't open her eyes no matter what.
She finally responded, but she didn't expect that the real action was to swing her arm, throwing the dog who wanted to pull her to the ground.
Gouzi stamped his feet in anxiety, and turned to scold the few people who were in the yard with Bai Yan just now, "You brothers, it's fine if you secretly drank beer at Captain Lu's birthday party, but why did you give it to Teacher Bai?"
Those people looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected that they would pick up the wrong bottles of drinks and beer.
Otherwise, even if they had ten times the courage, no one would dare to get the brigade's new translator drunk in Commander Lu's yard.
"Why don't we ask her roommate to pick her up?" Someone saw Bai Yan lying limply on the table and gave a random suggestion.
"no!"
With a loud shout, Bai Yan raised her head from the table, "No Ruan Xiaohui."
Then he fell down again limply.
Gouzi refused when he thought of the rumors that Ruan Xiaohui spread about Bai Yan in the cafeteria. "No, the team has a clear rule that drinking is not allowed. It's okay for you to drink secretly, but Teacher Bai is drunk. If someone reports her, she will be punished."
There was also Class Monitor Xu in the small room. She and Teacher Bai didn't get along well and they had just had a fight.
She must not be allowed to know that Teacher Bai is drunk.
After all the calculations, only Chief Engineer Meng is left.
Gouzi stamped his feet and said, "Just keep an eye on Teacher Bai. I'm going to find Chief Engineer Meng!"
By the time Meng Hechuan was pulled out by the dog, Bai Yan had already stood up from the chair.
He was staggering and couldn't tell the way, but kept shouting that he wanted to go home.
The few people who were drinking secretly were afraid that her loud voice would cause trouble, so they hurriedly advised her, "Little comrade, please stop shouting! You are cold, I will lend you my clothes!"
After saying that, he took off his clothes and covered Bai Yan's head.
Bai Yan quickly blocked the wound with her hands in front of her chest, "I'm not cold, I'm not cold, I don't wear other people's clothes."
Lu Jili, who was following behind, squinted and said, "Sister Ayan is quite clear-headed. She can't wear other people's clothes, but she can wear Mr. Meng's clothes because they are expensive."
