Chapter 52 Family Mahjong

(I don’t know why, all the comments have been swallowed by Dianniang recently. The author’s background shows it, but Dianniang can’t show it.)

——————

After the northeast wind.

The sky is clear on Dandan Island, but the temperature has not risen, but has dropped.

At night, the sea breeze blows.

People’s hands and feet are cold.

But for Li Duoyu, who grows kelp, he naturally hopes that this winter will be as cold as possible, so that his kelp will grow better and better.

Taking advantage of the sunny day.

Everyone took out their winter bedding to dry, and they also dried it.

Lao Li lay on a rocking chair to bask in the sun.

Chen Huiying was drying oysters.

The fat boy held a clothes drying rack and kept beating the quilt.

Li Duoyu, who was sitting on the stone bar, was holding a small plastic notebook and calculating the accounts of these days.

There were 13 people who picked up kelp seedlings,

21 yuan per person on average;

70 yuan was given to my uncle;

25 yuan to the local dog Chen Wenchao;

15 yuan for cigarettes and drinks for the master and workers of the kelp seedling transport ship;

17 yuan for the fuel of the diesel engine sampan;

15 yuan for the tractor freight;

55 yuan for the lunch for these 13 days;

And the fat boy Li Haoran also earned 6 yuan by picking up kelp seedlings on Saturdays and Sundays;

Total: 476 yuan.

In fact, there are two other sums of money that Li Duoyu did not include in the statistics, namely his parents' wages and the money spent on worship.

Li Duoyu gave them this money.

But his parents said they would not take it.

They also gave him a lecture, saying that he was too polite and calculated too clearly, which made Li Duoyu speechless.

Originally, after the division of the family,

his parents did not have much money left.

Over the years, they have been subsidizing them in various places, so it is impossible for them to have any money left.

In addition, some time ago, in order to help him take care of the kelp rope, Lao Li spent money to buy a small rowing boat.

Li Duoyu guessed.

His parents are very likely to not be able to take out even 30 yuan now.

Li Duoyu has also been a parent, and understands that his parents' efforts are often subconscious and unconditional.

They would rather eat pickles themselves, and want to give their children good food, clothes and things, so that they can live a rich life.

But since Li Duoyu has been reborn, he naturally hopes that his parents can treat him better and live a better life.

And Li Duoyu always feels that his father's death so early in his previous life is probably related to his eating habits.

They are too frugal, often eating the same dish for several meals, always eating pickled mustard, pickles, sour bamboo shoots, and various salted fish and crabs.

These are foods with high nitrate and nitrite content. Long-term consumption will damage the esophagus and gastrointestinal mucosa.

Li Duoyu was thinking about how to hand the money to his parents. Conventional ways would not work, but there was a way that might be worth a try.

Seeing that everyone was there, Li Duoyu shouted:

"Is there anyone who wants to play some mahjong?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Li Duoyu, and Old Li even sat up directly from the rocking chair.

"Play mahjong, sure."

Even Zhou Xiaoying turned her head with an expectant look on her face, but then frowned and said, "But we don't have mahjong at home."

"Wait a minute, I'll go buy it right away."

In this era of extreme lack of entertainment activities, how can a family not have something like mahjong?

Before these people refused.

Li Duoyu had already ridden on his 28-inch bicycle and ran towards the cooperative.

Mahjong in this era is considered a luxury. A set of mahjong with ox bone and bamboo back is sold for nearly 50 yuan in the cooperative.

When Li Duoyu was buying mahjong at the cooperative, he happened to meet Wang Jinjun, the president of the cooperative.

Because he was the most active in reporting, he was often scolded, but after the goods were taken away, the business of the cooperative was obviously much better.

At the time of settlement, Wang Jinjun took the initiative to greet him: "Duoyu, I want to ask you something. Do you know the leader who came to our village some time ago to seize the goods?"

Li Duoyu frowned and replied.

"No."

Wang Jinjun didn't believe it and laughed twice: "Don't pretend. The captain secretly told me that your name was on the report list, but it was crossed out by those leaders."

Li Duoyu frowned, almost forgetting that Wang Jinjun's brother was the captain of Dandan Island, and his younger brother worked in a government unit in Rongcheng.

On Dandan Island, their family is relatively powerful. In many things on the island, their family often took advantage.

Li Duoyu hated Wang Jinjun very much. It should be said that all the fishermen on Dandan Island hated him very much.

He did a lot of things, even Zhou Xiaoying's parents.

"Maybe they made a mistake." Li Duoyu laughed, too lazy to have too much interaction with Wang Jinjun.

After buying the mahjong, Lao Li wanted to scold him for being a spendthrift, but as the sound of mahjong sounded, he had already sat on the chair, and the pregnant Zhou Xiaoying also took a seat.

"Ahem."

Lao Li coughed twice and said to Chen Huiying who was still drying oysters: "Why don't you have a good eye? Three people are missing one."

"But I'm not very good at playing." Chen Huiying replied.

"Let's talk about it first."

After the four people sat down, Li Duoyu suddenly said: "Let's play big or small today."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying said awkwardly: "Can you not pay money? I may be worse than my mother."

"No, it's boring to play mahjong without money."

Lao Li also thinks it makes sense. If you don't pay, everyone will just play blindly, which is really meaningless. Besides, there are people at the table, so the books are not all from the family's money.

Chen Huiying then said: "How about we beat the smaller one and get one point."

"Okay." Zhou Xiaoying nodded.

Perhaps because of her novice aura, Zhou Xiaoying was very lucky and kept touching herself.

"It seems like I touched myself."

"Touching myself again."

"Grab the gold."

Zhou Xiaoying's novice aura seriously disrupted Li Duoyu's money-losing plan, forcing Li Duoyu to resort to ruthless tricks. After reading the cards, he hit a big pie on the spot.

"Just listening to the big cake is nonsense." Lao Li shouted.

Next.

Li Duoyu kept firing off cannons all the way.

"Lost again."

Zhou Xiaoying was very depressed: "Why are you always firing? I haven't won in several rounds. You don't even feed me. I can't get any cards. You have heard so much, but you just don't give me any cards."

Li Duoyu pretended to be innocent there.

"I'm terrible at cards."

"What can I do."

Not long after, Li Yaoguo and Zhu Xiuhua came back from outside and saw that Li Duoyu and Zhang Xiaoying were so bad at poker and lost so much money.

Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua is also eager to try.

"Mom and dad, let me play with Yao Guo."

Lao Li looked at the change in his hand and found that it was a bit exaggerated. In less than two hours, he actually won more than 20 yuan. Adding in Chen Huiying's money, it was almost 50 yuan.

"Forget it, there's no point in winning anymore, I'll let you guys do it."

Lao Li reluctantly left the mahjong table.

But after Li Yaoguo and Zhu Xiuhua sat down, Li Duoyu's entire painting style suddenly changed and he instantly became a master.

After listening to seven cards, the second sister-in-law thought she was sure of it, but as soon as she played a card, she heard Li Duoyu shout: "Sorry, Jinque."

"Defan, 60 times."

The second sister-in-law's eyes widened and she quickly checked Li Duoyu's cards, only to find that he was not cheating and was really a golden bird.

The second sister-in-law, who did not believe in evil, thought that he was just lucky, but she didn't expect that Li Duoyu had touched himself again before he played a few games.

But Zhou Xiaoying was even more ruthless and went straight to Tianhu.

Less than an hour after sitting down, Zhu Xiuhua lost more than 20 yuan.

After losing to the end, he didn't dare to fight anymore and ran back to the room dejectedly.

She lost all the money she earned from collecting kelp seedlings these days, and she was so angry that she shed tears.

After seeing Li Haoran return to the house, Zhu Xiuhua quickly asked: "Haoran, you just sat behind your uncle, did your uncle cheat?"

Li Haoran shook his head: "No, my uncle is just very good at playing cards. He deliberately broke the pairs to let my grandpa and grandma win."

"Little bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier."

"Mom, I didn't expect your poker skills to be so bad."

Zhu Xiuhua: "."

Li Yaoguo, who didn't lose much money, returned to the house and sighed: "With your little skills, you still want to win a lot of fish. It's obvious that you lost money to your parents on purpose."

Zhu Xiuhua’s eyes turned red:

"It's more than twenty yuan. I worked hard for more than ten days to earn it from my brother-in-law, and I haven't even finished it yet."

I will post two chapters in the early morning, asking for reading. During the new book recommendation period, I will look at the reading data on Tuesday. Please let me meet the reading standards, please.
