A different life with a system reborn

Chapter 72 Like a Dream

The game lasted all night, and the win or loss was not big, but it made Xiang Yong, who had not played cards for several years, get addicted to playing cards.

On the second day, I slept all morning, and in the afternoon I wandered around the houses of some relatives and friends. In the evening, I called some friends to come over to play cards, but they couldn't come, saying they were playing cards elsewhere and asked him to come over.

Xiang Yong was suffering from a card addiction, so when he heard a few friends asking him to come over, he went there too.

The place where a few friends played cards was near a factory in the next village. People played cards here all year round, and the games were all about golden flowers, and the games were relatively big. When he was at home, Xiang Yong only occasionally went over to take a look. But I've never played.

As soon as they arrived, Xiang Yong first watched them play from the sidelines. Because they were playing relatively big games, Xiang Yong didn't plan to play. Xiang Yong became addicted to playing cards just by looking at them. Then, after some friends' persuasion, he couldn't help it anymore. Just going to play a few games.

Xiang Yong was very lucky. He won several hundred yuan in just a few games. This money was earned faster than when he worked on the construction site. He was a loyal and honest man. There were also co-workers playing cards on the construction site, but he only wanted to make money, and The daily physical work left him with no energy to play cards.

As soon as he got home, he felt relaxed, and with the persuasion of several friends, he thought that he would just play a few games and lose 200 yuan before leaving. As a result, he won more and more. When he won more than 2000, he felt a little flustered and stopped. After playing, take the money and go home.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and he plans to take the money and go to town to buy some new clothes for his family tomorrow.

After returning home with the money, he tossed and turned in bed. In the morning, he drove his brother's motorcycle and took his two daughters to the street to buy new clothes, a new school bag, and some firecrackers.

All I spent was the money I won from playing cards yesterday, so I didn’t feel bad at all. The 1000 yuan was spent quickly.

After dinner on New Year's Eve, several friends called him again and asked him to play cards.

He wanted to spend time with his family at home, but when he remembered the more than 2000 yuan he won yesterday, he couldn't help himself and went to the card playing place again.

He had better luck today, winning more than 3000 in three or four hours, until his father called him and asked him to go back for the New Year.

There is a habit in their hometown in the countryside. Playing cards at other people's houses usually ends around 11:30 on New Year's Eve. They spend the New Year with their families, and then set off firecrackers and the like. Unless they are gamblers who have no family members. Except when playing cards is important.

Xiang Yong was very generous when he returned home after winning money. He gave each of his two daughters and his nephew a 200-yuan red envelope as a new year's gift. Winning tonight gave him a lot of confidence.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was a little absent-minded as he went around paying New Year's greetings in the morning. After lunch, he realized that he couldn't help it. This time, without the invitation of his friends, he went to the place where he was playing cards.

He won more than 5000 yuan in one afternoon. Including the money he won in the previous two days, he had won nearly 1 yuan in the past few days. Making money so easily made him feel a little elated. He didn't want to leave this poker game. The place is great and the money came in too quickly.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. By night, he was no longer so lucky.

First, I slowly lost the more than 5000 I won in the afternoon, and then started to win money again.

His money on the card table sometimes increased and sometimes decreased, and slowly he began to take out the money he brought back from his part-time job. Although he was slightly worried, he soon began to win money again.

The noisy atmosphere and warm environment at the card court made him lose track of time.

Win or lose, money went back and forth on the table, and soon the next morning came. Xiang Yong smoked and shouted all night, which made his voice a little hoarse, his hair was messy, his face was shiny, and his eyes were red, but he The spirit is still very high.

He was stunned until he touched the empty table, and then he touched his body. Except for five or six lighters in his pocket, there was nothing.

Xiang Yong's heart sank, and the pounding of his heartbeat suppressed the noisy shouts around him.

He searched his pockets again, and finally found only dozens of change left over from shopping in one pocket.

"Hey, Brother Yong, are you here yet? The cards are about to be dealt." The dealer couldn't help but shout when he saw Xiang Yong standing there stunned.

Xiang Yong raised his head in confusion and looked at the banker, his eyes unfocused. Recalling the whole night, Xiang Yong was a little lost.

He stood up, pushed through the crowd, and began to flee.

"Hey, Yongzi won't play anymore. Which of you wants to play? Hurry up, the cards will be dealt soon." When the dealer saw Xiang Yong's appearance, he knew what was going on. He had seen this a lot these days. So Brother Yong immediately became Yong Zi.

Xiang Yong walked out of the house and was shocked by the cold wind outside, completely waking up.

Recalling what happened last night, he slapped himself twice, and walked home in a daze.

Standing in front of the gate, he hesitated for a while, not knowing how to face his family and his daughter.Finally got up the courage to go in.

"Dad, Dad, come and have breakfast." The eldest daughter saw him coming back, and immediately brought him breakfast.His parents sat aside and didn't ask him why he went last night.

Xiang Yong ate his breakfast, stuffing it into his mouth like chewing wax.He walked into his room amidst his daughter's laughter and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He didn't feel sleepy at all after not sleeping all night.

He lay in bed like this all morning, and then he took a shower seriously. During lunch, he told his parents that the foreman called and hoped that he could go to work early and make more money.

After he finished speaking, he began to bow his head to eat. He didn't dare to look into the eyes of his parents and daughter.

After eating, he picked up the old backpack, turned around, looked around the room, found his brother, took 300 yuan from him, and then asked his brother to take him to town on a motorcycle.

He planned to leave immediately, taking with him his dream of opening a late-night snack stall and the hope of taking care of his daughter's parents.

Zhao Dongsheng had a very happy time during the New Year. The family gathered together and everyone was in good health. What could be better than this?

Grandpa, uncle's family, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law and their children, as well as the second sister and third sister's family came together and had a lively reunion dinner.

Zhao Dongsheng also received several red envelopes, including from uncles and aunts, from his parents, and from his married eldest sister.Happy~, even happier than receiving system rewards.

On New Year's Eve, Zhao Dongsheng received a New Year's reward from the system, a tube of reagents from Future Technology.

The name of the reagent is CBD-092 reagent. Its function is to immunize against all infectious diseases after oral administration. It is valid for one year. Because it was developed for Zhao Dongsheng’s physical constitution, it is invalid for others to take. Zhao Dongsheng drank it in one gulp that night. There is nothing special about it. Zhao Dongsheng didn't pay much attention to the reaction.He is in great health, and this potion is better than nothing.
