my old life

Chapter 36

"Actually, it's not because of Brother Long that you are not allowed to take water money... Anyway, you will gradually understand in the future, remember that you can't take other people's water money in the future."

"Well, I see." I nodded vigorously, and went back with a few bottles of drinks, thanking Sister Feifei very much in my heart, I don't know if it was because she looked at my second uncle's face.

If I were someone else, maybe I would lose my temper directly. After all, I made mistakes first, and I indirectly understood a truth, that is, you can't take any kind of money casually, even if it is given for nothing. Can't take it either.

My second uncle once said that to be a human being, you must know what you can and cannot do. You may not be able to do what others can do, just like a group of elephants soaking in the crocodile pond to enjoy the cool. Why can't I go?As a result, he was bitten to death by a crocodile as soon as he jumped...

I stood beside the middle-aged man and continued to watch, but his winnings were getting less and less, and the bottom of the pot soon bottomed out, and the last one was directly thrown out of the pot, and he lost nothing left. Three old gamblers Happy to share the money, they are the final winners.

The middle-aged man scratched his scalp vigorously with red eyes. The spring breeze on his face just now disappeared completely, and he turned into a blushing and thick-necked appearance. I feel a little worthless for him. If he just won five thousand It's great, it's much better than losing everything now.

But there are not so many ifs in the world, otherwise there would not be so many people who lose their pants. In the past, in my hometown, it was not uncommon to see people who lost in a hurry and finally went to a dead end, and it was not uncommon to see people who lost their entire family because of gambling. Uncle, not only was his finger chopped off when he cheated, but even his wife ran away with the child...

When it was someone else's turn to sit in the dealership, the middle-aged man looked at his empty wallet, as if he could no longer get any money, turned around and said to me: "The water money I gave you just now, let me use it first, and I will give it to you when I win." .”

My mouth twitched a few times and I couldn't say a word. To be honest, I never thought that the water money given to others would be taken back, and I only now understood what Sister Feifei meant by not letting me take the water money. It turned out that it was because She had known for a long time that something like this might happen...

I bought cigarettes and water just now, and I have already spent part of the money. Should I pay for the rest?

Seeing me dawdling, the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and he urged impatiently, "Hurry up! I gave you two hundred just now, quickly give it to me!"

really!He clearly knew that I went to buy a pack of Su cigarettes just now, and now he bought a few more bottles of drinks, and he asked me to take out 200 yuan, clearly to let me put the money on the back, and my original sympathy for him was instantly Disappeared cleanly, thinking that he deserved it if he lost!

The people playing cards around looked over and didn't know what was going on. I thought it would be 200 yuan, even if I spent money to buy a lesson!
Just as I was about to pay, someone suddenly grabbed my arm, and Sister Feifei took a step forward and said, "He gave me all the water money you gave him just now, and who ever heard of getting water money back? Since you are short of this water money, don't give it just now!"

"I……"

The middle-aged man's face was red when he said something, and the people around him watched the excitement and said everything. I knew in my heart that Sister Feifei was speaking for me, but I didn't want to make the relationship stiff because of the 200 yuan, and I didn't want to occupy others. 200 yuan cheap!
"Sister Feifei, don't talk about it, I'll just give it to him." As I said that, I took out two hundred and handed it over, thinking that I should take it as a lesson. My second uncle said before that if a man doesn't pay some tuition fees, he will never be able to live in this society. After graduating from high school, spending a little money is nothing, the most important thing is to learn a lesson!
The middle-aged man curled his lips and was about to reach for the money, but Sister Feifei snatched it away, and said angrily, "People like you are really rare! Just now he was paid for water, but he bought cigarettes and To buy water, do you really have the face to ask for this money while smoking and drinking water? I said, are you really shameless?"

"What did you say!" The middle-aged man stood up suddenly, his face was flushed with embarrassment, but several people stood up around him at the same time, and they were all from Brother Long.

"What the hell, Feifei said you are still not convinced? Why do you still want to do something?"

"That's right, there's no reason to go back the money for fetching water. Besides, if someone buys you cigarettes and water, it's almost enough!"

The middle-aged man didn't dare to answer back, his eyes were full of helplessness, he looked at the big fat man and his group, but the big fat man didn't raise his head and pretended not to see it, I thought that the big fat man would definitely not help, because they We used to be together...

Immediately, there was everything in the mahjong parlor, but most of them were laughing at the middle-aged man. What he did was really disgraceful, but it didn’t matter to me. I shouldn’t have taken other people’s money in the first place, let alone I also don't want to make things big, because 200 yuan will cost the mahjong parlor a customer, and I will have no face to see Brother Long in the future.

"Forget it, just treat it as if I was spending money to buy a lesson..." Sister Feifei glared at me before she finished speaking, and I immediately shut my mouth obediently.

"Forget it, let's stop playing." The middle-aged man waved his hands helplessly, and left the mahjong parlor with his head down and his face blushing. He is already in his 40s, and he was so embarrassing just now. I don't think he will come back again in the future. here.

The little turmoil subsided quickly, Sister Feifei dragged me to the bar, my heart was in a turmoil, if it wasn’t because I was cheap and took people’s water money, how could this happen, to be honest, I regret it... …

"I'm sorry, Sister Feifei, it's all my fault for causing you trouble. If it wasn't for me, what happened just now would not have happened, and he wouldn't have left. I'm really sorry." I apologized from the bottom of my heart. I feel ashamed, my second uncle once said that if you do something wrong, you have to admit it.

Sister Feifei brought me a bottle of water, and said earnestly, "Sanming, you have seen what happened today. After all, you are young and don't know many things. Here, you can't take money from anyone, unless it is you. The money I won at the table.”

I nodded to show that I understand, but I don’t know how to gamble, because I know that this thing is harmful, and I know that my second uncle will not let me go easily. He asked me to come to the mahjong parlor to gain insight. If I really If you play here, you will be really ignorant...

"By the way, why haven't I seen Brother Dong recently? Do you know where he is?" Miss Feifei asked in a low voice, and I quickly shook my head to express that I didn't know. Now that my second uncle is out to avoid the limelight, I will never reveal anything about him Any news, besides, I really don't know where he is.

"Sister Feifei, thank you for your help just now, but I don't know if Brother Long will blame you..."

"Huh? Why did Brother Long blame me?" She looked curious, and I leaned over and whispered: "He was so shameless just now, I'm afraid he won't come to play again in the future. If there is one less customer in the mahjong parlor, Brother Long will definitely be angry... "

Unexpectedly, she laughed immediately, rubbed my head and said, "It's okay, do you really think that a few words can make him never come again? You are too underestimating people who look at gambling and the attraction of gambling." Don't worry, he will definitely come, maybe he will come back after tonight!"

I was very surprised. Sister Feifei looked very confident, but she clearly said everything just now. The middle-aged man really lost face. How could he come back?

Strolling around and watching for a while, the mahjong hall is very lively at night, it is already past ten o’clock, and people keep running here, the hall on the first floor of the huge mahjong hall is overcrowded, there are no free tables at all, Miss Feifei Also busy collecting money.

Everyone who enters the door can look at it casually, but as long as they want to sit down and play, they will charge a little tea fee no matter how long they play. No matter how much the chips are exchanged, the ratio is one for one when changing, and ten for nine when refunding.

To put it simply, playing cards like Fried Gold Flower is very fluid, and the number of times is fast, so there is no limit to the time and number of times, but you must change the chips to play. There is no need to pay for tea, and those who win want to exchange their chips for cash, and don’t care about changing a little less, which is invisibly charged for tea.

After seeing Sister Feifei running back and forth, I took the initiative to help. I didn’t directly ask others for the tea fee, but just followed Sister Feifei to help find change. Although everyone’s tea fee was not much, it quickly added up. , There are hundreds of yuan.

Although a few hundred dollars doesn't seem like much, the mahjong parlor is full of people coming and going all day, and the income is also very considerable. It is similar to Liu Ye's way of collecting money, but it is slightly different. The amount drawn There are also some differences.

Sister Feifei and I are very busy. Although the money is not mine, it feels really good to collect the money. I didn’t expect so many people to come at night, and some people even came here in slippers and pajamas, sitting in a hurry. Just play, it looks like he should have sneaked out from home.

In the past, when I wanted to surf the Internet at night, I would sneak out after my parents went to bed, and then sneak back before dawn, without making any movement, lest my parents would find out. It feels like being a thief, guilty conscience!
I really don’t think gambling is more attractive than surfing the Internet. Maybe I haven’t entered the world of gamblers, but I don’t want to enter it in my life, and I don’t want to be like the people here. It’s good to live in peace...

After collecting the money, Sister Feifei was tired and sweaty, even though her suspenders were already cool, but she was still wearing transparent stockings on her legs, and she seemed to like wearing shiny platform slippers, which perfectly set off her feet Ya's slender.

She was sitting at the bar smoking a cigarette, looking very tired, so I stood by the bar and watched her count the money, thinking that if I was busy again later, I would help, not for anything else, just because she spoke for me just now.

The second uncle said that to be a human being, you must know how to repay your kindness, no matter how small a kindness is, it is also a kindness!
