The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 193 Playing Poker

The rainy season in Central Shandong begins at the end of June in the Gregorian calendar. After July, there will be more cloudy and rainy days, and there will even be consecutive rains for several days.Wang Shaodong remembers that when he was in the second grade of elementary school, the longest time was cloudy and it rained for nine days.

It has now entered the middle of June in the Gregorian calendar, and a sudden torrential rain announced the arrival of the rainy season.

The warm and humid air from the Pacific Ocean, carrying a large amount of rainfall, has been nourishing the farming and civilized mainland people for thousands of years.

"Brother Dong, your family has built such a beautiful small western-style building, why don't you care about going home and staying here at night with our two stinky brothers?" Zheng Tao ate melon seeds while watching Watching the rain outside.

It is already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be time for dinner in one and a half hours, but the rain has no intention of stopping.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhao Shihai couldn't sit still.His wife is about to give birth, and no matter how heavy the rain is, he has to go back at night.Wang Yuliang, on the other hand, can consider staying on the mountain tonight.

Now there are [-] red jade roosters on the mountain, and another [-] Nongda No. [-] laying hens, so there is no one at night.

"Where you live is different. I admire those who use the ground as a bed and as a blanket."

Like Hong Qigong, he is happy wherever he goes, and such a life is actually very enviable.

Happiness is more often a state of mind, and there is no necessary connection with matter.Some people are born to be happy, and some people are not born to be happy.In fact, sometimes, the more you pursue material things, the more empty your heart will become and the less happiness you will feel.

"The ground is the bed, the sky is the quilt, that's a beggar." Zheng Tao is a very smart person.

"Yes, I met a beggar when I arrived in Quancheng. Just in front of the north gate of Qilu Normal University, there was a beggar who was missing a leg. The beggar always looked at everyone with a smile every day. According to media reports, he also funded four What about orphans?"

Zheng Tao frowned, carefully thinking about what Wang Shaodong said just now.

Zhao Shihai finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up.

"Dongzi, your little concubine's due date is in these two days, I have to go back."

Seeing his uncle fidgeting, Wang Shaodong said, "It's raining heavily at the moment, why don't you wait a little longer until the rain subsides before leaving."

The pouring rain was pouring down, and the temperature, which was gradually heating up, suddenly returned to a cool level.

Zhao Shihai had already put on his raincoat, looked at Wang Yuliang and said, "Liangzi, you can stay here tonight, I'll go home and tell your mother."

Then, Zhao Shihai walked to the door and said to Wang Shaodong: "Dongzi, no, I have to go back quickly."

Zhao Shihai carefully wrapped the mobile phone in a plastic bag and put it in his arms, then rolled up his trousers and ran into the rain screen.Wang Shaodong looked at Zhao Shihai's figure, which gradually disappeared into the misty rain.

Zheng Hui picked up the thermos bottle and wanted to drink water, but found that there was no hot water, so he carried the kettle and went to the kitchen next door to boil water.

On the Songbai Mountain side, Wang Shaodong and the others usually cook their meals on the simple pots and stoves built by Zheng Hui with mud outside, and then drink water with a heartburning pot to boil water.There is a lot of firewood on the mountain, so it is very convenient to use a heartburning pot.

However, now that it is raining heavily, it is not possible to use the heart-burning pot outside, and inside the house because the roof is relatively low, it will be dangerous to use the heart-burning pot to boil water, so you can’t use the heart-burning pot, you can only use a kettle, and the gas Water boiled on the stove.

Wang Shaodong built a row of sheds on Songbai Mountain, which were divided into ten chicken coops, and now there are [-] red jade roosters in the henhouse on the west side of where Wang Shaodong lived, and counting eastward from their room. Except for the [-] No. [-] laying hens of the Agricultural University in the second room, the other chicken coops are still vacant for the time being.

Zheng Hui and the others tidied up one of the chicken coops and temporarily used it as a warehouse and kitchen.

There is a lot of fish bone meal mixed in the premix, which makes the whole kitchen have a fishy smell.

After Zhao Shihai left, Wang Yuliang suggested: "Dongzi, we can't do anything else if it rains, why don't we play cards."

There are fewer topics between each other, and then we need to find some topics, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing, and playing cards is indeed a good way.

Among the fourteen administrative villages in Dazhai Township, several villages have a tradition of gambling. For example, in this Dazhai Village, the older generation has been fond of gamblers.The folk customs in Taohualing Village are not bad, and the habit of gambling is not serious. It is also a good pastime for everyone to get together in twos and threes to play poker during holidays and slack seasons.

The main methods of gambling in Dazhai Village are mahjong, Pai Gow and poker.And the way this poker is used to gamble money is basically Doudizhu, Zhajinhua, three-on-one and hand one.

No gambling, pure pastime, in Taohualing Village, playing poker, four people is level up, five people is royalist, six people is enough level.Among them, because only four people are needed to upgrade, it is relatively easy to join the game.

Wang Yuliang's proposal immediately got Zheng Tao's approval: "Brother Dong, that's a good idea. We managed to gather four people, and we can't stop until two o'clock in the morning."

Wang Shaodong smiled: "It's okay to play twice, but it's not good to play it at two o'clock in the morning."

The leader agreed, and Zheng Tao and Wang Yuliang hurriedly set up tables and seats in the middle of the dormitory.

Zheng Hui went to boil water, and the next thing was to wait for Zheng Hui to come back.

Three people sat on the seats, and there were two washed decks of poker on the table.

Zheng Hui came in with an umbrella, carrying a kettle. The spout of the kettle was still steaming, and the water inside was boiling.

"I can only eat instant noodles at night, and the gas tank is out of gas."

For food, several people don't care much.

"Brother, it's still early for dinner. Maybe the rain will stop by then, and then we can go out and catch a hare and roast it."

On Songbai Mountain, barbed wire has basically surrounded all of them.In order to catch up with the progress of the project, Wang Shaodong arranged for multiple construction teams to go up the mountain.

There are a lot of hares and pheasants on the mountain. When Zheng Hui and his team were patrolling the mountain a few times, they saw the pheasants and hares got stuck on the barbed wire, and they just carried them home.

In addition, Zhao Shihai often went to the mountains for a walk, and he would gain something if he made a rabbit trap or something.

The hare and pheasant are now the creatures at the top of the food chain on Songbai Mountain. The next step is to eliminate them and replace them with his own chickens.

"That's enough."

After filling the water, Zheng Hui rubbed his hands together and came over to start playing poker.
