Fragrant spring

The second quarter is a thief

Lin Hua felt uncomfortable when he thought of this. At this time, Shaowang's chaimen was concealed, and no one was at home.In the chicken coop in the corner of the courtyard, an old hen clucked and clucked happily, and it seemed that it had just laid an egg.Lin Hua looked around, but there was not even a dog.He bit his lower lip, pushed open the broken wood door and slipped in.When the old hen saw a stranger coming in, she was so frightened that she spat hot shit and screamed "cluck, cluck, cluck".Before Lin Hua reached the chicken coop, he was already scared away. There were more than a dozen fresh and shiny eggs in the chicken coop.This egg was deliberately not picked up by Shaowang's mother, she wanted to keep it in the nest for the old hen to hug.Lin Hua was fine this time. Lin Hua went up to spread out the shirt and put the eggs on the clothes one by one.With a smirk at the corner of his mouth, he scooped up the egg and ran away from Shaowang's house. He chose a remote path and returned home in hiding.Ready to have a big meal, when he opened his clothes, he found that two of them were torn by nervousness on the road.The egg liquid covered his clothes, he didn't care about it, but felt sorry for the two broken eggs.He closed the door, whistling and started a fire to boil eggs.The white rice I ate at noon was tasteless, and my stomach was already starving to death.Soon the eggs were cooked, and he eliminated them one by one. He burped and patted his stomach and went back to sleep.

In the evening, Lin Hua's family was having dinner.Lin Hua could hear her mother nagging.He took a few mouthfuls of rice, threw away the rice bowl, lifted his buttocks, and slipped out of the house.The bowl was still dangling on the table, and the person had disappeared.Lin Fen chased him out and shouted: "If you don't come back at night, don't leave the door early." When the voice stopped, Lin Hua was already [-] meters away.

Lin Hua came to the home of Housan, the head of the village. Housan was in his 40s, a bachelor, short in stature, with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.A pair of small eyes are sneaking.I usually idle around and do some sneaky things.Lin Hua played with him all day long after he didn't study, and he learned many bad habits from him.Because no one cares about being single, she is single-family.So everyone likes to gather here to make money in their spare time.Lin Hua gambled with some gamblers here last night, and lost hundreds of dollars.Tonight, Lin Hua wanted to see if Hou San had won any money, so that he could borrow a few dozen or a hundred dollars to move back to the capital.

It was not completely dark yet, there were already six or seven people playing around the table in the room, and the smoke was lingering under a [-]-watt light bulb.The gamblers were either shirtless or wearing clothes, and the light from the light bulb shone on their dark chests.The smell of smoke and stinky feet in the air is mixed together, and only a gambler can bear that smell.

The game of playing money in this area is a game called "Ganzibao".That is, one person stands on the table with two copper coins, flips the copper coins quickly with one hand, picks up a bowl cover with the other hand, and pushes it forward.Gamblers guess whether the copper coins in the bowl are on the same side or one face and one reverse.The same face up is a "pair".One positive and the other negative are "dry sons".The person who helps to operate is called "Bao Guan".

Tonight's "Baoguan" is Guiqin's husband, Shaoqiang. He is shirtless, holding a cigarette sideways, and half-closed his eyes.Take the bowl in your left hand and go towards the two rapidly spinning lids.The gamblers dropped fifty cents, one yuan, and occasionally ten yuan.With the bowl as the boundary, in front of the "Baoguan" is the "Ganzi", and on the opposite side is the "Dairie".

Lin Hua had no money in his pocket, so he felt itchy when he heard the sound of covering the bowl.He quickly walked over and got close to Hou San.Monkey Three glanced at him and said, "Here you come?"

Lin Hua nodded.Hou San took out a pack of shredded tobacco in an old salt bag from his pocket and handed it to Lin Hua.Hou San is not only a gambler, he is also a smoker.He does not smoke ordinary tobacco, he only smokes the dry tobacco grown by himself.In his words, those cigarettes are tasteless to smoke, and he grows them himself with chicken manure, so the tobacco leaves are wide and thick.Dried and cut into shredded tobacco, it is mellow and thick to smoke. Monkey San usually does not do any work, but growing tobacco is definitely hardworking.

Lin Hua took it, took out the shredded grass tobacco inside, rolled a pagoda-shaped dry tobacco, lit it, and took a sharp puff.He coughed violently a few times and spewed out thick smoke.He asked Monkey Three: "How's your luck tonight?"

Monkey Three sighed: "It's a fair pass." Monkey Three also lost last night, but he didn't lose all.

Shaoqiang has been lucky during this time, and he has won about a hundred dollars since tonight.Seeing Lin Hua coming, he said, "Hua Zi, did you bring any money tonight?"

Lin Hua looked at him contemptuously: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, you just owed it last night and you're going to collect the debt tonight, and the gods are not so fast."

Shaoqiang raised his voice and said, "I'm not chasing you, I'm just reminding you, don't forget." Shaoqiang is very stingy, and he can remember clearly the needle you borrowed from him ten years ago.Moreover, this person values ​​money more than righteousness, so people in the village do not like to associate with him.On the contrary, her wife Guiqin has a carefree personality, and she laughs when she sees everyone.And it's also generous, willing to share with everyone if there are any small things to eat and use.Shaoqiang often talked about her, but she didn't take it seriously.

Hearing Shaoqiang's question, Lin Hua said impatiently, "I can't do without you." He regretted to the death in his heart that it was not good to owe anyone, but this debt collector.If I didn't bet with him last night, I wouldn't lose money!well!If there is regret medicine in this world, he promises to be the first to buy it, if, if...If there is, he has no money to buy it.

Shaoqiang is a man who is not forgiving when he is in power, he said in a strange way: "You can set a time, pay it in three days or five days, there must be a time?"

Hou San couldn't stand it any longer, he came out to fight and said: "Shao Qiang, don't force Hua Zi, you can't get any money even if you pick him up now, you won so much again tonight, just Forgive him for a few days, talking too much will ruin your luck tonight."

Shaoqiang saw that he was playing with money at Housan's house, and Lin Hua really had no money, so he made a favor: "The third brother said so, then Huazi, you can find the money and return it to me as soon as possible, it won't take too long. .”

Lin Hua didn't bother to pay attention to him, and lowered his head next to Hou San and Hou San, staring at the copper coins spinning on the table without blinking.When the copper coins were turning tightly, Shaoqiang raised the bowl and slammed it down.

Monkey Three looked at Lin Hua, and gestured two fingers under the table.This meant that he guessed that the copper coin with a low bowl was a "pair". Lin Hua nodded, and he also guessed that it was a "pair".So Hou San pressed a hand of heavy treasure, ten yuan.The other gamblers matched Monkey Three's ten yuan with one for you and two for me.Hou San held his breath, staring at "Baoguan" Shaoqiang taking the bowl away.Sure enough, there were two identical copper plates lying inside, and the monkey smiled with yellow teeth.Take the money back with hands like crawlers.Lin Hua was also happy for Monkey Three. This pair of brothers and sisters often help each other.

After an hour or so, Hou San won a little, gave Lin Hua 20 yuan, and said, "Let's play a few hands. Win back last night's game."

Lin Hua took the money gratefully, and among the group of gamblers, Monkey Three had the best relationship with her.It is also common for people to help each other frequently at the gaming table.Lin Hua joined the gamble, with little money in hand, so he could only play piece by piece.However, his luck was mediocre, and he gambled until midnight and still couldn't win or lose.I got up and wanted to leave.

At this time, Shaoqiang saw that he still had the 20 yuan in his hand, and immediately asked, "Huazi, can you give me some back first?"

Huazi stared at Shaoqiang for a few seconds, then threw the 20 yuan in his hand in front of Shaoqiang.He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, you are too deceitful. I will chop wood and sell it back to you in a few days." After speaking, he got up and left fortunately.Almost got knocked over at the door.
