Chapter 94 Little Gambling Dog
  I was thinking in my mind and answered a few questions to my uncle casually, when I saw a noisy argument coming from the door of the butcher shop.

It was said to be a dispute, but in fact it was just a male voice yelling unilaterally:

"Bai Zhaodi, are you crazy?"

"Why are you trying so hard to catch me back? I'm just lucky! There are more than a dozen dominoes, and they haven't been turned over yet!"

"It's ten yuan a piece! See if I don't beat you to death, see if I don't let my parents beat you to death!"

Dominoes is a very popular card-fighting activity in Anxing and surrounding areas. People ranging from 80-year-old men to eight-year-old children will still watch the cards even if they can't hold them.

At the most exaggerated level, I once saw a middle-aged man with no arms sitting in front of the card table, facing the card table, with a basin of rice in front of him, inserting the cards one by one in the middle of the rice, and using the Play dominoes with your mouth.

In other words, this activity is no different from gambling.

How old is this kid, fifteen or sixteen?

Just start gambling?
  When I thought about it, I frowned slightly, and then I heard a small, firm voice from the door. Bai Zhaodi said:

"My parents asked me to call you home."

"There are big things going on at home, so you can't open your mouth and pee. The beautiful sister you almost bumped into today is here to find a bride. She is our sister, the daughter of our aunt's family."

"You can't be a bastard and make her angry!"

At the end of the sentence, Bai Zhaodi raised her voice slightly and repeated it again. Bai Yaozu laughed disdainfully, but did not lower his voice at all, and did not prepare to open the door:
  "Tch, the girl I haven't seen for twenty years has stopped interacting with her a long time ago. Do you know her name? You don't even think about it. Grandma has been hurting me for so long. When did she ever mention that aunt? Maybe it was before. You just ran away with the man, and you are the only one who stupidly talks about an aunt!"

"Now I'm eager to get it back. In addition to trying to get money and meat from our family, I might be trying to catch some autumn wind!"

"you!"

Bai Zhaodi was so angry at this younger brother that she heard the rest of the sentence and immediately realized that I was still in the house. She hurriedly tried to cover her younger brother's mouth, but Bai Yaozu was tall and strong, and she was not inferior to this older sister. She refused. She covered her mouth and said nothing, and took advantage of her weak hands to pinch Bai Zhaodi several times.

Next to me was my uncle. When he saw Bai Yaozu attacking Bai Zhaodi, he didn't scold him. He just said to me with some embarrassment on his face:
  "My eldest niece, this bastard has been spoiled by his grandma since he was a child."

"As a young man, it's inevitable that he won't keep his mouth shut. He doesn't mean that. As a niece like you, how can I not take care of you?"

This is to excuse his son.

I was noncommittal, with a calm expression on my face, and shouted from outside the door:
  "Zhao Di, Yaozu."

The two people who were still fighting one-sidedly outside the door immediately stopped and walked in one after another. I put my hands in my pockets but did not take out the wallet I had prepared.

Bai Zhaodi was thin and small, with many red and swollen pinch marks on her body. She lowered her head very low when walking, and I could only vaguely see the tears on her face.

But Bai Yaozu still looked carefree and indifferent. When he walked in front of me, he looked at me condescendingly and raised his chest unconsciously, as if he didn't seem to think that I would scold him.

My heart moved, a smile appeared on my lips, I took out five loose bills from my pocket and handed them to him:

"Isn't it just playing dominoes without turning over the cards? What a big deal?"

"How can our family reunion be better than a dozen cards? Sister, just give you the money for the cards."

"When I leave, you can use this money to make money again."

"Yaozu is so smart, he can definitely do it." Bai Yaozu opened his mouth slightly and looked confused when he was stuffed with five hundred dollars. First he couldn't believe it and rubbed the money, and then he was surprised after realizing it. With an expression of indifference, he immediately said one eldest sister on the left and one eldest sister on the right:
  "Sister! Thank you, sis!"

"A dozen cards are nothing, hahaha, you can play this for a long time."

"Okay, okay, I will use the money to buy a pair and practice by myself. When I finish reading the book, I will tell my eldest sister, hahahahaha."

Obviously, although his uncle's family has a storefront and favors boys over girls, it is not normal to give five hundred yuan to his son all at once. Bai Yaozu felt the money and fell into a state of excitement.

The uncle shouted a few times symbolically that it was difficult to collect the money, but Bai Yaozu still held on to the money tightly and kept it firmly in his pocket.

So my uncle let him go and laughed a few times:

"Although it's the first time you two siblings have met, I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship!"

“I’ll have to move around more in the future.”

Bai Yaozu immediately agreed with a playful smile. The two fathers and sons had acted like a loving father and a filial son, but Bai Zhaodi stood alone with her head lowered, wearing that gaudy short-sleeved body. At first glance, she looked like a ghost.

When I saw this scene, I just thought it was funny. I felt a little cruel in my heart and said with a smile:
  "Yaozu said he wanted to buy cards, right?"

"That's a good relationship. Auntie still needs time to cook. I'll go to the big supermarket to buy some things. I'll buy everything you want."

"Forget it, Yaozu, come with me. Whatever you want to buy, I'll have to spend it today."

"Is it convenient, uncle?"

How could my uncle object? He declined once to save face, and when he spoke the second time, he agreed with an expression that said he wished I could bring it up.

Bai Yaozu was so happy when he got a five-hundred-yuan bill. Now when he heard the last sentence, "You can buy everything with the money, I will pay for it." He suddenly felt as if he had won a million-dollar lottery, and he didn't care to cover his pockets. He immediately came forward to hold me in his arms, and said with a smile:
  "Sister, you are really my dear eldest sister! How tender are you!"

"What I just said were all angry words. I shouldn't have said those words and misunderstood my sister. Don't be angry, sister!"

Sure enough, this kind of person knows what to say and what not to say.

So what if you just know?

The evil nature is already there!

I slowly withdrew my hand that was being held, but the smile on my face remained unchanged. Under the double surprise look from my uncle and nephew, I took a few steps toward the door of the store. Then, as if I suddenly remembered something, I turned my face and said:
  "There is a little sister, right? Since you call me big sister, let's come together."

Bai Yaozu's originally cheerful expression suddenly turned a little angry, and he glared at Bai Zhaodi several times:
  "Sister, a little girl can spend any money on a movie, just take me."

If this loser follows, won't he take away the money that the eldest sister wants to spend on him?

My eyes passed over the faces of the people present, becoming colder and colder:
  "Follow and help us get our things."

This time, even Bai Yaozu didn't speak and became a squib.

Bai Zhaodi walked out of the house quickly and stood carefully behind me.

This time, I held her hand.
