Chapter 350 The In-Laws Are Coming
“Second brother, you lost again, give me the money.”

The last round ended quickly. As expected, Chen Ming lost again as the landlord. He counted several receipts in a sad mood. It seemed that this round was a bit miserable.

“Clean up and get ready for dinner.”

Chen Jun came over and took a look, and saw that they had finished, so he asked them to clean up and come over to serve the dishes.

“So, how are you three doing?”

Chen Guo, who was putting out the firewood in the kitchen, stood up and asked with a smile.

“It’s similar to previous years. Big brother and Xiao Yuan won a little, and I was the only one who lost. Fortunately, Xiao Li was not here, otherwise I would have lost more.”

Chen Ming shook his head and spread his hands, but the bitter expression on his face was no longer there.

Just a normal rhythm.

Moreover, compared with previous years, the losses this year were considered to be less. After all, Chen Li was the best among them.

Besides, it was just for fun, and it wasn’t a big fight.

“Your technique is not good. You don’t bomb when you should, and you insist on rushing when you shouldn’t. From what I saw you do just now, you will definitely win if you separate the three twos.” Chen Guo shook his head and smiled.

They definitely know how good the kids are at playing cards. They watch them play a few rounds every year and play together at night when they stay up all night to welcome the New Year.

“You need to learn to count cards, remember which cards are on the table and what types of cards your opponent may have.” Chen Jun gave clear instructions.

“Hurry up and serve the dishes. We have nothing to do after dinner. We can have fun in the afternoon.” Tang Ying, who was serving the dishes, greeted Chen Jun and others to serve the dishes and said casually.

During the Chinese New Year, not only children have fun, but adults who have worked hard all year also want to relax and have fun.

This has been the case in previous years.

The two families played together, with the adults at one table and the children at another.

“Let’s go play at Laotang in the afternoon.” Chen Yuan took the dishes and went to the main room.

“It’s okay to go over there and play. There are more people and it’s more lively.” Chen Jun thought it was okay.

This year is different from previous years. In the past, the two families were just enough to play together, and it was the same to play together at home. But now that I am doing business in the village, I should play more with the villagers.

“Open a bottle of good wine today.”

The sumptuous dishes were served on the table. Chen Jun came over with a wine glass and asked Chen Yuan to open the wine.

“You can drink something today.”

Chen Yuan chuckled and said that it didn’t matter whether to toast or not when it came to family members.

The square table was just right for seven people. Chen Jun and Chen Guo sat at the top, Tang Ying and Lin Cuiju sat on one side, Chen Yuan and Chen Mo sat on a long bench, and the fattest Chen Ming sat alone.

In the past, Chen Yuan sat with Chen Li. This year, Chen Li was not at home for the New Year, so Chen Ming had more space.

“Jingle Bell.”

Just as he was about to say something, the phone in Tang Ying’s pocket rang. It was the notification tone of a WeChat video. He knew who it was without having to guess. It had to be Chen Li.

really.

As soon as Tang Ying clicked to answer the call, Chen Li’s voice came from the other end.

“Mom, Auntie, Happy New Year.”

In previous years, we celebrated the New Year together. This year, we were not at home, but we must send New Year’s greetings. In addition to Chen Li, Yang Yangyang also sent his blessings.

Most importantly, Chen Li also handed the phone to Yang Yangyang’s mother.

“Mom, Auntie wants to talk to you.”

Tang Ying, who was chatting casually at first, became a little nervous when he heard this. He subconsciously put down his chopsticks and took the conversation seriously.

The two of them greeted each other warmly and wished a happy new year, and then Yang Yangyang’s mother took the opportunity to invite them over for dinner.

According to the local customs, when discussing marriage, the man must go to the woman’s house first. Yang Yangyang’s mother’s words were obviously sending a signal.

Tang Ying understood instantly and had already made preparations, inviting them to come over for dinner on the second day of the New Year.

Yang Yangyang’s mother agreed.

After chatting for a few words, he returned the phone to Chen Li, and after chatting for a few more words, the call ended.

“It looks like this is going to work.”

After ending the video call, Lin Cuiju said with a smile.

“Xiao Yang is a good kid and a good match for Xiao Li.” Chen Guo said with a smile.

Even Chen Guo and Lin Cuiju recognized Yang Yangyang, not to mention Chen Jun and Tang Ying. After half a year of contact, they were very satisfied with Yang Yangyang.

Now his face was full of bright smiles.

As for Chen Yuan, it was not surprising at all. Even according to the rhythm of the previous life, the marriage between his elder sister and Yang Yangyang would have been settled after this year.

“Look at you two. The older brother has fallen so far behind. Even if you don’t want to get married this year, at least find a girlfriend. Start writing your destiny first.”

Chen Guo suddenly talked about Chen Mo and Chen Ming.

I worry about both children.

The eldest is not young anymore, and the second is still so fat. If he doesn’t find a girlfriend quickly and have a serious relationship, he will be almost 30 in two years, and it will only become more and more difficult.

“Dad, it’s New Year’s Day, why are you talking about this?”

Chen Mo and Chen Ming were concentrating on their meals and didn’t want to talk about this topic, but their father lectured them anyway and they couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“Come on, Mom, Dad, Uncle, Aunt, let’s have a drink.”

Seeing that Chen Guo wanted to talk more, Chen Yuan picked up his wine glass and changed the subject. Although he was not too worried, he was worried that the topic would be brought up again.

The reunion dinner took quite a long time, from 11 o’clock to about 1:30 in the afternoon, when the whole family finished eating and drinking and cleared the table.

“Let’s go and play over at Laotang?”

After cleaning up, Chen Yuan took out his cigarette box and spread it around, inviting everyone to come over and play.

“I’ll give Quede and the others a call.”

Chen Jun took out his cell phone while taking a cigarette. Every generation has good playmates, and Chen Jun and his friends are no exception. They will definitely call out to play together for a while.

Chen Yuan also called Zhou Lin and others.

“Wow, so much information.”

I took out my phone and saw it was filled with WeChat message notifications. I clicked into the WeChat page and the screen was full of New Year greetings.

There are blessings from relatives and friends, messages from customers, and blessings from the employees of Yucheng Village Film and Television. If you scroll down, there are at least hundreds of messages.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, call Brother Lin and the others.”

Chen Yuan said something to Chen Mo and Chen Ming, and then replied to their messages one by one. No matter if it was copy and paste or group messages, it was all a token of his thoughtfulness.

Of course, Chen Yuan’s reply was also very simple: either have a happy new year or make a fortune.

Finally, he sent blessings to the fishing ground group, member group, and Yucheng Village group, and gave a friendly reminder that there would be a red envelope rain at 11 o’clock in the evening.

This is a real blessing.

“Hehe, I like people like Boss Chen.”

“Boss Chen is really honest. Sometimes blessings for prosperity can be solved with money. It doesn’t necessarily have to be sincere.”

“Set the alarm and wait until eleven o’clock.”

“Looking forward to the red envelope rain.”

The fishing ground group is the most lively. There are already many anglers popping up, and occasionally you can see some red envelopes flash by, creating a very festive atmosphere.

As Chen Yuan’s message came out, the atmosphere became agitated.

Everyone knows how arrogant Chen Yuan is. If he says there will be red envelope rain, it will definitely rain. And it is definitely not a drizzle, but a real rainstorm. The red envelopes will be given to everyone until their hands are full.

Every time the number of members in the fishing ground group exceeds a thousand, Chen Yuan would be very generous and send down heavy rain. The most recent time, it rained almost ten thousand yuan.

It’s Chinese New Year, how can there be less red envelopes?
According to Boss Chen’s mindset, any red envelope gift during Chinese New Year that is less than ten thousand yuan is not called red envelope rain.

“This way, this way.”

When they arrived at the third floor of Laotang, Chen Dequan, Zhou Jianming and others stood up and waved to Chen Jun and others.

A lot of people have gathered in the dining area. Some have gathered at a table and started eating, while others are grabbing a handful of melon seeds to watch the fun. It really looks like a chess and card teahouse. “Boss Chen, Brother Mo, Xiao Ming, this way.”

Zhou Lin and the other younger generation waved to Chen Yuan and the other two.

“Go, go, go over there.”

Chen Yuan pushed Chen Mo and Chen Ming towards Zhou Lin and the others.

“There are many people here today, let’s play Golden Flower.”

Zhou Lin and his friends drew three stools and asked Chen Yuan and his friends to sit down.

“No problem, deal the cards.”

Chen Yuan smiled and took out a few packs of cigarettes from his pocket and threw them on the table, then sat down and asked them to deal the cards.

There were more than a dozen people squeezed into a big round table. With so many people playing together, basically only Jinhua could satisfy them, and other landlord mahjong games could not be played together.

“Hehe, it’s so relaxing to hang out with Boss Chen. There’s no shortage of good cigarettes.”

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

A friend picked up a pack of cigarettes that Chen Yuan had thrown out, opened it, flicked it twice, and took out several cigarettes with one hand, scattering them all over the table.

Finally, he lit one for himself, took a deep puff, knocked on the table, exhaled the smoke and said, “One more mouthful.”

“Follow Men, and keep some money for the water.”

The action is dull.

The first round was basically a dull one, and then someone looked at their cards. If the cards were too bad to play, they would just fold, and those with better cards would continue to follow.

Of course, there may be some who are trying to catch chickens among those who follow the cards.

“I give up.”

Chen Yuan looked at the cards. They were all high cards, and none of them had crossed the river. There was no possibility of catching a chicken, so he discarded the cards decisively, and then glanced at Chen Ming next to him.

“Fuck, this card cannot be doubled.”

Chen Ming was ready to fold, but when he heard Chen Yuan say that, he couldn’t help but look at him, and then, under Chen Yuan’s instigation, he followed to the end.

“Wow, I actually won. Can I win with this card?”

In the end, there were only two players left to open their cards. Chen Ming couldn’t believe that he won with just a pair. In surprise, he swept all the money on the table with a smile on his face.

“You were just about to discard this card?”

Gangzi, who was dealing cards with Chen Ming on the opposite side, glanced at Chen Ming’s cards and looked at Chen Ming with a wry smile.

Gangzi’s cards are not big. Just now I saw Chen Ming was about to give up, but Chen Yuan instigated him to continue following. I thought Boss Chen wanted to catch the chicken.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a pair for crossing the river.

“Yeah, I think this card is too small.”

After Chen Ming collected the money, he started to shuffle the cards.

“More than a dozen people are playing Golden Flower, and a deck of cards is almost dealt out. Just imagine the probability of getting a good hand. Not to mention a pair, even a single point has a high chance of being a winner.”

A companion nearby explained.

Chen Yuan and Chen Mo also analyzed it for him.

The more people there are, the more diluted your card rights become. If you match the first card, there will be more than ten people competing for the card you want. Your card rights will be diluted and the probability will become small.

Therefore, the probability of getting a good hand is very low. Getting a pair is already considered a good hand, and a single card has the potential to kill all.

“Keep going.”

Chen Ming shuffled the cards, cut the cards for the player in front of him, then stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, and dealt one card to each player in turn. Finally, he pinched the cigarette butt and exhaled a long smoke.

There was a large round table, a dozen chimneys, and smoke rising from the tables next to it. The entire dining area was filled with smoke as if it was on fire.

Accompanied by lively noise.

This is the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

“Oh my gosh, I won again?”

“Chen Ming, you are not pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, you have won several times in a row.”

“My goodness, you are going to beat the master to death with random punches. Gangzi, this card is not good, so just forget it.”

For several rounds in a row, Chen Ming was the one who laughed last. The companions at the table were all surprised, and some of them looked at Gangzi, laughing and joking.

Gangzi’s card playing skills are impeccable, he has mastered all kinds of playing methods, he won all the cards yesterday and also won after playing for a while this morning. But now he has encountered the luck of a novice, and the old master can only pay with a bitter face.

“It’s still early, keep going.” Gangzi smiled calmly. As long as he didn’t leave the table, there was a possibility of winning back, not to mention that it was just the beginning.

that’s the truth.

Although there is a certain element of luck in playing cards, those with good skills are still those with good skills. In the end, Gangzi still managed to win a small prize.

But if you play small, there are limits on the bottom, top, and number of rounds of following cards, so the overall win or loss is not big.

Only Chen Yuan lost more, but he was in the mood to play together with everyone, and didn’t think about winning or losing. It was the New Year, so just having fun was fine.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ming won several games in a row from the moment he sat at the table, and he didn’t lose until the end. After finally counting the money, he found that he had won a small sum of several hundred yuan.

“Haha, let’s continue in the evening. We still have to stay up tonight, so why not have some entertainment?”

They left the table at around six o’clock because they still had to eat. Gangzi, who won the money, counted the money and put it in his pocket, then started to plan the game for the evening with a smile.

“I’m OK.”

“Okay, let’s continue tonight.”

Many friends said that it was no problem, as that was how the New Year was celebrated in the village, especially on New Year’s Eve when they had to stay up all night. Basically, there were entertainment activities at regular intervals, and they would play until midnight, set off a round of cannons, and then go to bed.

“Boss Chen, let’s continue in the evening.”

Gangzi and his friends made an appointment to play with them and also invited Chen Yuan and his friends.

“It will be all right.”

Chen Yuan did not refuse. He had given himself a few days off during the Chinese New Year, so he decided to have fun since he had nothing to do in the evening anyway.

“Then go home and eat first, and come back to continue later.”

Everyone goes back to their homes.

“How’s your luck?”

On the way home, Chen Jun rode a tricycle with a big smile on his face and looked very energetic. It was obvious that he had won money.

“I lost a little, my second brother won a few hundred dollars, and my eldest brother almost broke even.” Chen Yuan smiled and tightened his military coat.

I didn’t feel cold in the dining area with the heater on, but the temperature difference is so big now, and it feels a bit chilly when the wind blows.

“I lost twenty dollars.” Chen Mo smiled.

“Twenty dollars is not a loss.”

Chen Guo shook his head. He lost nearly two hundred dollars, but Lin Cuiju won a small amount, and Chen Ming also won some, so the overall gain or loss was not much.

“Are you going there tonight?” Chen Yuan asked.

“Go ahead, Que De and Zhou Jianming are calling you. We have to stay up tonight anyway, so continue playing after dinner.” Chen Jun said with a smile.

Anyway, he was winning money, so he wasn’t afraid to continue at night.

The family was chatting and laughing. They didn’t have to cook any dishes when they got home. There was still more than half of the food left on the table from lunch, and they couldn’t finish it tonight.

Division of labor and cooperation.

Chen Yuan and his friends brought the cold dishes to the table and prepared drinks and wine. The adults heated up the dishes in the kitchen, and everything was served on the table in less than half an hour.

After dinner, we went to Laotang again.

Chen Yuan played until after ten o’clock, and left the table twenty minutes before eleven.

We left the table at around eleven o’clock.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he pulled over a bench and sat next to him, preparing for the red envelope rain tonight.
