Chapter 21 Extra Story: If They Celebrate Chinese New Year in Hangzhou

[-] is destined to be an extraordinary year, mainly reflected in the unprecedented cold wave before the Chinese New Year. The water pipes at home were frozen and cracked three times, and there was no water to brush my teeth when I woke up early in the morning.

It’s okay to cut off the water, and I can live with pure water. The worst thing is that it also cuts off the power. I don’t know if the circuit is aging or what’s going on. The power cuts out in the middle of the night, and I have to get up when the power cuts out. Xiu, otherwise we would both be frozen into popsicles in less than an hour.

In this situation of water and electricity cut off, there are still people who come to make trouble for me. Fatty and Xiaohua don’t know if it’s because they can’t stand the cold in Beijing. They are begging for nothing to come to my place to celebrate the new year. Maybe it’s because of the swallows in the textbooks. The text about winter in the south is misleading. I feel that the four seasons are like spring for me, and I would rather give up the heating and come to me.It's a pity that these two forgot me. This is the south of the Yangtze River. The birds that have spent the winter will definitely not be able to return this year or next year.

Jokes aside, what a bleak scene it is for four big men to celebrate the New Year together. In Xiuxiu's words, there is only one hanging rope. Playing mahjong can make a table, but my room is so small. Where can I sleep when I come here? , I can't sleep even if I stack a piece of it.

Fatty said nicely on the other end of the phone, don’t trouble me, bring your own military bed, if you really can’t go out and stay in a hotel, saying that this is not the first year of our retirement, it’s easy to have a solid year, and we have to be lively together.

When I think about it, this is indeed the truth. Chinese people have a feeling for the New Year, which is deeply rooted in their bones. I don’t usually think that when the firecrackers go off on the New Year’s day, all the firecrackers will pop up. Otherwise, I would have to collapse every Chinese New Year.

I said, "It's fine for the two of you to come. Let me first say that I'm cold here, but I don't have heating. I'm not responsible for freezing!"

The fat man said: "Look at what you said, you don't have to be responsible if you freeze to death, okay? Oh yes, the soup our uncle made last time was quite good, can you trouble him to make a pot for the Chinese New Year?"

My parents won’t be able to celebrate the New Year with me this year. They have to go back to their hometown in Changsha. It’s nothing serious. When they see that I have guests, they tell them to go by themselves and let me spend the New Year in Hangzhou. After my dad knows what the fat man said, Before I left, I made a big pot of soup and asked me to save it for the Chinese New Year.

Since you are going to visit, you can’t do without ordering food at home. On the 29th of the year, Poker Ping and I went to the supermarket, cleaned up some New Year’s goods, cleaned the house, and made a sofa and a wire bed. For Fatty and Xiaohua, it's not good to let them live in a hotel after the Chinese New Year, it's too outrageous.

On the morning of the New Year's Eve, Fatty and Xiaohua came in big bags, and the fatty even brought a piece of pasta, saying that he bought it from an old lady with a lot of money, and the old lady's family saved it year after year. The steamed buns made by the yeast on the street are not authentic. He used this to make steamed buns for me, which was guaranteed to be delicious.

My family has been busy since I was 23 years old. Our family started to distribute facials only when I was [-] years old. I didn’t even post a pair. The whole street was bare at the door of my house. As soon as I got home, I started working non-stop. First, I had to post the right Son, after posting the pair, cook again.

There are quite a few pairs at home, all of which were given by the bank or insurance. A huge LOGO is printed on it, which is bigger than the words on the couplet. write it yourself.

I was about to pick up my pen, but was stopped by the fat man. My words are not suitable for writing Spring Festival couplets in the words of the fat man. I am too thin and have no festive atmosphere. A thin line of words was pasted on the door frame. Those who heard it were sad and others shed tears. Passers-by can tell at a glance that the family is having a bad year.

I put the pen into the fat man's hand: "You do what you want! Come on, come on, you are so rich, write it, you will be rich as soon as you post it!"

The fat man turned his face and pressed the pen into Poker's hand, and said with a playful smile: "That's all right, fat man, I won't write the right words easily, otherwise the luck will come to our house, how can they celebrate the Spring Festival? Brother Write, brother's handwriting must be richer than yours!"

I recalled Pokerfing's handwriting. How should I say his handwriting is quite satisfactory, and it is just that good-looking. I have practiced it even if I have not practiced it.

Poker-Face didn't shirk, he picked up the pen and wrote, and Xiaohua smiled when he saw it: "Okay, this couplet is classic enough, how did I remember that this was the one posted at the airport?"

When I saw it, it was true. Poker-Face’s four consecutive writings were all aimed at the Spring Festival couplets at the airport. He himself didn’t think there was a problem at all. After writing, he washed his hands and boiled the paste. I wrote a little post about looking up and seeing you, and posted it on the head of the bed, on the stairs and so on.

Not to mention, the big red pair came as soon as it was posted, and the small shop that I have been depressed for many years has somewhat warmed up. Even Brother Xiaoman, who was reluctant to go out in the cold weather, also rushed out, opened his mouth and barked .

"I have to do the cooking, Fatty. I'm not bragging. If I change my career to be a chef tomorrow, all the cooks in the ten miles and eight towns will lose their jobs! I'm so innocent, have you cooked the dishes? I'll wait for your dishes!" Fatty The shovel was swishing, and the big buttocks took up half of the kitchen. I cut vegetables on the left, and Boyouping rolled dumpling wrappers on the right.

The only one among the four of us who is free is Xiaohua, and Xie Yuchen is the young master of everyone. He doesn't touch Yangchun water with his ten fingers, even if the oil bottle is upside down, he doesn't help him. Sitting on the sofa like a master, he just waits for food, just wait, and take advantage of the three of us When I'm too busy, I send out red envelopes in the group. When I'm done, I look at more than a dozen red envelopes in the group, and I miss more than a billion yuan by cooking a meal.

There is a difference between the north and the south in the New Year's Eve dinner, but Fatty and Xiaohua are from Beijing, and Poker Ping is from the Northeast. I am a southerner who is very passive when celebrating the New Year with three northerners. They decide what to eat and drink, not at all. respect me.

In the case of three to one, I have no room to refute. I can only eat dumplings with them for the New Year's Eve dinner. The dumpling filling is prepared by my mother before she leaves.

I can't see Xiaohua being idle, so I taught him the simple way of making dumplings, and asked him to make dumplings with Poker Ping. The first few dumplings he made were a bit strange, but after he became proficient, the ones he made were basically the same as Poker Ping's. , put together very beautifully.

Fatty is very passionate about the New Year’s Eve dinner. He made eight cold dishes, fried, fried, and deep-fried. The New Year’s Eve dinner was cooked all afternoon, and I didn’t watch any of it. , More than 500 dumplings were made in one go, and all the flour at home was ruined.

I looked at the dumplings all over the floor, and I was in a bad mood. Even if these dumplings were frozen into quick-frozen, it would be enough for our family to eat for half a year, and the culprit was still using the most expensive towel in my family to wipe his hands. I grabbed a handful of dumplings and smacked them: "Xie Dahua! If you don't finish eating these dumplings today, don't even think about leaving!"

Xiaohua dodged my dumpling attack vigorously, backhanded a handful of flour, who is the master, the master was avoiding the little expert, and immediately got short, but the flour sprinkled on my head.

As soon as the fat man came out after cooking, he saw that the living room was full of flour. Xiao Hua and I had flour on one head and the other on the face. Poker-Face and Brother Xiaoman were standing at the stairs watching the battle with indifference.

The fat man yelled: "How old are you two? How about a snowball fight? It's time to serve the food, and today I'll let you try my handicrafts! Ah Hua, don't brush off your dandruff! It's all dropped into the soup !"

Although I was covered in flour, Xiaohua didn't take advantage of it. I made me very embarrassed. My carefully prepared hairstyle and clothes were all messed up. My face was covered in flour. It was whiter than singing on stage. He grabbed his hair and said in dissatisfaction. : "That's your dandruff! I'm flour! Don't slander me, okay?"

The fat man waved his hand: "Whatever he is, it's time to get some food, aren't you hungry? Oh my god, can you turn off that TV? What kind of broken Spring Festival Gala? The opening ceremony is all about serving the motherland. What are you guys doing?" ?It’s not bad if you don’t pay the whole reimbursement, it’s shocking to hear it, close it quickly!

In terms of cooking, Fatty really didn’t brag, the dishes are really good, since it’s the Chinese New Year, drinking is inevitable, drinking and vomiting blood is not just talking, Xiaohua brought several boxes of good wine, and the first round of white wine was opened Four or five bottles, I was not allowed to drink more from the stuffy oil bottle, and I was not allowed to add more after pouring a full glass. The fat man winked at me and said that my family was strict.

I am a very generous person, I don’t care about him, I pour plain water after the wine is finished, and I pick fat people to toast, I sip the water and he sips the wine, after a few glasses, the fat people don’t want to drink with me, saying I’m cheating .

Halfway through drinking, the fat man suddenly wanted to play some games. The dining table was pushed towards the corner and a small folding table was set up. It sounds good to play games. I know it was because his hands were itchy and wanted to gamble. A few hours trying to make a fortune.

There are only four of us, we can’t play Pai Gow, the money is too slow to play Mahjong, and the atmosphere is not so enthusiastic after more than a dozen rounds. The most important thing is that Poker is very good at playing Mahjong. Finally, Xiaohua found poker to talk about playing gold Flowers, Boyouping can't, let him stand aside to observe the first few, and he will be able to see.

In addition to luck, this kind of game also tests the guts and wisdom of the players, cheating on gold flowers and cheating on gold flowers, three-point betting and seven-point cheating. To put it bluntly, it is to scare the opponent and make him believe that you have a good hand.It seems that playing Pai Gow is smaller than that of Pai Gow, and every handful is doubled. It is not a dream to go bankrupt overnight.

Because we are all on our own, we gamble for fun, and if we can't come up, we will pick up the bottom line, finalize the ante bet of [-], raise the bet to [-], and double the bet.There was still some cash in the small cabinet in Pokerfinger, so I took a bundle and slapped it on the table. It was very rich. Xiaohua and Fatty didn’t bring that much cash, so I borrowed it from Pokerfinger. I stopped them and asked them to transfer it first. Alipay will take the money again, otherwise what will I do tomorrow with the excuse of drinking too much.

The fat man took out his mobile phone and murmured: "I didn't mean you, naive, look at the face of that housekeeper of yours, and look at your stingy appearance, what the hell, the fat man can still rely on my little brother's money Don't pay it back? As for the back of the ass, do you want it so much!"

I don't care what he said, I just ask Poker Face to give them the cash when the money arrives. I don't know these two guys yet.

With the money, the game officially begins. Poker Ping is responsible for dealing cards, one person has three cards. Xiaohua and I are talented in cheating, and Fatty is also a veteran of gambling. It's boring for us three old foxes to fight each other. He directly played the dark bet without checking the cards, and one person chased another three hundred.

Xiaohua touched the three cards on the table, took a sip of wine and said: "The first one is good luck, I wish everyone a wealth of wealth, and chase another six hundred!"

I wondered what to pretend, you don’t have special powers, can you still know what’s inside, and you can make a lot of money, if it’s not a leopard or a loose card, it’s up to you to cry.

The fat man has always been very confident in gambling, and it seemed that he was trying to win over the big players, his eyes lit up, he grabbed a handful of money and threw it away: "Follow!"

Either I can't gamble, I don't have the madness to spend a lot of money or the courage to ruin my fortune, but when the atmosphere comes up, it's easy to get angry, so I yelled three times, and I threw it out for thousands of dollars.

When I hit No.12, I finally couldn't bear it anymore. The hidden bet was pure luck.

As expected, I had a bad hand, Xiaohua was better than me, there was a small pair, the fat guy got a straight flush, the corners of his mouth were cracked to the back of his ears, and he pulled the money in front of him with a blushing face: "Oh, I just went out today Seeing magpies croaking on the eaves, I said I was lucky today! Shuffle the cards! Come again!"

Gambling pays special attention to the luck of the first hand. If the first hand is not lucky, it will be over later. I was a loose card at the beginning, until the sixth hand, the biggest one is a pair. Li took the money twice more, Xiaohua neither lost nor won, and the banknotes in front of him remained neither high nor low. The biggest winner was Fatty, and all the money on my desk went to his desk in half an hour.

Either gamblers are easy to lose their fortunes, no matter how good my brain is, I can't hold back other people's ideas, the more I try to pretend to be lucky, the more I suppress them. In the end, I was really bluffing, and he was really bold. I wanted to flip the table when I was so angry.

"Innocent, what did you touch when you got up in the morning? Such stinky luck, Fatty, I'm too embarrassed to beat you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll give you a little red envelope later!" The fat man counted the money while returning Don't forget to run on me, saliva sprayed all over the table.

I scratched my head and pushed the last 300 yuan on the table forward: "Come again! Don't be complacent, fat man! You'll have to take off your underpants if you win!"

The fat man flicked his waistband triumphantly: "Okay, naive needs to exert strength, naive quadratic, come, come, let's see who loses in a while without any pants left!"

Poker-Face has been acting as the younger brother who dealt the cards. He didn't blink when he saw that I sent out almost half of his cabinet's money. It looked like he had watched the meeting and wanted to play by himself.

As soon as the fat man saw him sitting down, he yelled that he wanted to change seats, and wouldn't let my little brother sit next to me, saying that we are a husband and wife team who are prone to cheating, and Xiao Hua followed suit, insisting on separating us.

I thought to myself, this is bad, it’s the first time Pokerfing plays this game, how can I do without me watching, I have touched him in the morning, how can he be better if I am so unlucky, what about New Year’s Eve Forget about the good fortune, and if you lose all your underpants, it would be too miserable for two old men to live on the street with no clothes on.

As soon as the cards were opened, I kept winking at Poker Bottle, telling him not to feel bad about the ante, and just throw it away.Or I don't have a tacit understanding with him, my eyelashes are almost blowing out, and I took out a pile of money and slapped it in the middle: "Add."

When the fat man saw Poker Bottle coming up, he was playing so big, and immediately picked up a pile of money and followed him, not to be outdone. He looked determined to win, and he seemed to have a good hand.

Xiaohua looked at the cards for half a minute, and pushed out two piles of money: "I double, how about it? Do you want to follow?"

Poker-Face was stupid and generous, and followed two stacks. I couldn't sit still and stood up to go over, but Xiaohua grabbed my gown and said, "Why go! Sit down honestly, I won't take you to be so shameless."

I said: "What am I kidding, I lost all my cards, and I'm out of the game! I'll go over to see how his cards are. He bets so big for the first time you play, bullying the idiot?"

Xiaohua pushed me back to the stool: "That's not okay! What if you went over and changed the cards for him? Besides, you didn't listen to others, beginners are lucky when they play for the first time, don't worry about it, just be open-minded if you are a man." point!"

"That's right, naive, just sit down!" The fat man pointed at the Poker bottle and said, "Look at how happy my little brother is! In this way, let's not deal with those vain ones, this one will cost me a hundred thousand! Just open it! Little brother!" Brother, what do you think? It’s all gentlemen, hurry up!”

Xiaohua is so smart, she knew that the fat man had a good hand when she saw that he was determined to win, and she immediately threw away the pawn to keep him handsome. When I saw that he still had a straight flush in his hand, he was in a bad mood, and began to wonder if I really had a straight flush today. What is not clean, why they are all good cards, and I am all bad cards.

Under my various obstructions, the happy Northeast men and the happy Beijing men still bet tens of thousands. The fat man was dumbfounded when the cards were opened. He is indeed a good card, three sixes, leopards, what a pity, little brother It's also a leopard, and it happens to be a number bigger than him, and I won all the boring oil bottles I lost just now.

Then the whole situation reversed without any suspense. Not only the fat man, but Xiao Hua lost his eyes. Later, the fat man even took off the brother's shirt. Deal the cards in person, and lose in the end.

I stood by the side dumbfounded, thinking what the hell is going on, I can just move to Macau, and Poker Fing will be crowned king and emperor in no time.I also suspect that he is cheating. If it is not cheating, he is just a little bigger than Xiaohua or Fatty every time, which is a bit too lucky.

At the end of the loss, there was no cash to lend to them. The two losers started to gamble and drink, and the three of them gambled like crazy. I turned a deaf ear to my words, and just ignored me, the head of the family. .

Happy to hear, Fatty and Xiaohua fell down on the sofa and snored loudly after drinking too much, Duyoupin was responsible for carrying them upstairs to resettle them, so I had no choice but to accept my fate as a coolie, collect the odds and ends on the table, and go alone One person washes and washes alone in the kitchen.

The New Year’s Eve dinner pays attention to surplus every year, and I basically put the leftovers in the refrigerator. Even so, the pots and pans that need to be washed are still piled up in a sink. No wonder people say that the party cannot be held at home. The table, cups and dishes were in a mess, and the person who cleaned up last looked sad at the first sight, and had to clean it himself when he was sad.

I brushed the bowl about halfway before I came down. I went into the kitchen and squeezed directly next to me to pick up a bowl and started to brush. He cleaned the bowl very neatly, and the dirt was basically gone after turning the steel wool bowl around.

I hurriedly said: "Brother, don't move, I've got my hands dirty, and there are not many left, I can just swipe!"

Although the water pipes are still not very good when the weather is warmer, there is basically no hot water at this point, and the dishwater is freezing cold, I have already wet my hands, so why let him suffer from the cold.

Pokerfing didn't say a word, and took the bowls of Baijie Brisso, so I had to ask him to share some of the dishes for me. Remembering that he had killed everyone at the gambling table just now, I couldn't help but ask: "Brother, did you cheat just now?" What did you do when you were in Jinhua? Why are your handles a little bigger than theirs?"

Poker-Face shook his head: "It's luck that they didn't do anything, they were unlucky."

They were unlucky... I couldn't help but think about my bad hand. If straight flush and leopards are bad luck, then what is good luck?For a person like me who can’t blame the society for suffering and the government, this is blatant showing off. The two of us are together every day, so how can the good luck not come to me?

I suddenly turned my head and stared at him and said hello, it turned out that you took my luck away, I said why I kept losing today, no, you have to give me half of the money you won, just treat it as if I gave it away Luck lends you labor fees.

It doesn't matter when I shake my head, a pile of flour that hasn't been dusted off is thrown out, fluttering like snow, and the whole person is embarrassed. Before I can open my mouth to explain, suddenly several groups of fireworks burst into the sky outside. , The sound of firecrackers came in an endless stream, and my ears suddenly hurt from the shock.

I didn't know the time until I watched the Spring Festival Gala. Only after the firecrackers were set off outside did I realize that it was another year.We agreed to spend New Years Eve together, but at such an important moment, Fatty and Xiaohua had already slept like pigs, and Poker-Face and I stood in the kitchen washing dishes, which was really full of realistic absurdity.

It's only 360 days and five days. I don't remember where I spent the New Year at this time last year, and who I spent it with. Life is only more than 2 days and nights, seventy or eighty New Year's Eve, Last year must have been a very sad year, so I will forget it so completely.

But this year's Chinese New Year, I have to remember, I have to remember the person next to me, I remember everything that happened today, even if it takes another year, five years, or ten years, I still have to remember.

I shook my wet hands and hooked Pokerfing's neck. Regardless of whether he could hear me or not, I leaned into his ear and shouted, "Happy New Year!"

Happy New Year, Boyouping, I hope you will give me advice for the rest of my life.
