Chapter 112 Pink Mahjong Oolong
Chapter 112 Pink Mahjong Oolong
The topics on the table gradually dissipated. Zhou Xi and her elder sister Zhou Yue learned about Qu Zixian's adjustment to work, and they would also drag this little nephew together. The two elders of the Zhou family mainly chatted with Guan Boxuan about archaeological matters.
Yu Jinghai drank a few rounds of wine with his eldest brother-in-law Qu Liuyi, and when he was free, he noticed that Zhou's father, Zhou mother, and Guan Boxuan were chatting enthusiastically, talking about professional things, and people who don't know how to talk can't get in the conversation at all.
After drinking, Yu Jinghai, who had received the praise, was in a good mood, so he said casually, "Xiao Guan is quite good, he understands a lot."
"That's right," Qu Liuyi praised immediately, "Even though Xiao Guan is young, he is not much different from Ah Xi in age. He is already a professor in the archeology department of a famous university."
"You are a professor at such a young age?" Yu Jinghai gave a thumbs up, "You are really capable."
"Just an associate professor, my brother-in-law is overrated." Guan Boxuan waved his hands modestly, "I still have a lot to learn from my uncle and aunt in this regard..."
"Boxuan, excellence is excellence. Both your uncle and I recognize your talent. How well-written your essay is, it's that one..."
Zhou's mother pulled Guan Boxuan in a friendly manner, and soon chatted about things within the scope of archaeology...
After lunch, everyone ate the fruits and then set up a table to play mahjong.
The two siblings, Zhou Yue and Zhou Xi, have inherited their father's preference in this area, and they don't like mahjong. They would rather accompany their father to drink tea, digest food and chat.
Qu Zixian only likes to play games, holding back on the single sofa to play the new switch very well.
The last four seats on the mahjong table were Zhou Mu, Yu Jinghai, Qu Liuyi, and Guan Boxuan.
"I'm not very good at this. Auntie is merciful, please forgive me." Guan Boxuan first reported to Zhou's mother when he was on the table.
"It's okay, just play casually." Zhou's mother shook her hand very kindly, then turned her head and said casually to Yu Jinghai who was sitting on the other side, "I'm sure you will. Come on, let's start..."
Nine out of ten men know how to gamble, and no matter how serious or casual the game of mahjong is, it still has some entertainment in it.
For a Chinese teacher like Zhou Xi with a refined style, or a professor like Guan Boxuan who is doing academic research, it is reasonable to think that he can't play.
But if a man like Yu Jinghai said he couldn't... not many people would believe him.
Facing his mother-in-law, Yu Jinghai, who really doesn't know how to play mahjong, said "I don't..." but didn't dare to say it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit at the table right now.
Sometimes the big guy pushes and pushes, and the seat is taken, and you can't withdraw immediately if you want to.
When Yu Jinghai was young, he used to play mahjong with his relatives, but later some relatives got into trouble with bad gambling, and his mother used this lesson to warn him in earnest, and he has never played mahjong since then.
After so many years, he always detoured when he saw mahjong, and now he sat at the table, sweating on the back of his head, not because he was afraid of breaking his vows, playing cards with his mother-in-law was not a real gamble, and his old mother would not cut it for this. he.
He was nervous because all the rules had been forgotten, and no one had told him before that when he saw his father-in-law's test, he would have to play mahjong. He had no time to make up for the temporarily arranged game.
After the green mahjong tiles were set, Yu Jinghai's face turned blue, he turned his head stiffly to look at Zhou Xi on the sofa, and seized the opportunity to ask for help.
He also laid out the cards fast enough, and he was able to take the lead at this time. The others hadn't done a good job, especially Zhou Mu, an old man.
Zhou Xi was sitting right next to Yu Jinghai's chair, and his gaze moved over by chance. He was a little curious, and wanted to see how his partner was playing cards, but he saw that the other party looked at him with a bitter face, and opened and closed his mouth in a hurry, as if he had something to say. to say.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xi stretched out her hand and wiped the sweat off his face, "Is it hot because I'm sweating so much? I'll turn down the air conditioner..."
After speaking, he turned around to get the remote control of the air conditioner.
Seeing that foreign aid was about to disappear, Yu Jinghai immediately called to stop him, and approached him abruptly, his low and deep voice quickly fell into Zhou Xi's ears, "Daughter-in-law, I'm not hot, I'm not good at it. I didn't make up this stuff! "
Zhou Xi raised her eyebrows in surprise, and just about to speak, the old lady over there finally laid out her cards, and in turn urged Yu Jinghai to return to her seat.
"Playing cards, are you tired of this time? Play hard!"
Yu Jinghai twisted his body with a look of lovelessness, leaned back to the mahjong table, frowned and looked at the cards, and then almost closed his eyes to play the cards.
He had already forgotten all about it, and he played it on the spot in a flustered state. Yu Jinghai played this hand carefully, but still played it sparingly. In the end, there was a ridiculous draw.
A table of people stared dumbfounded at the missing deck.
The creases on Zhou's mother's face twitched continuously, holding her row of cards that didn't go smoothly, staring at her son-in-law who seemed to be disrupting the situation in front of her, "Are you kidding me?"
The bones of Yu Jinghai's fingers that were holding onto a certain piece of chicken suddenly tightened tightly.
The atmosphere at the mahjong table froze quickly.
"Maybe I'm too nervous." Guan Boxuan, who was sitting opposite Yu Jinghai, found an excuse to smooth things over.
"I just saw Xiaoyu's hand gesture for drawing cards, and I seem to be less familiar than Boxuan," Qu Liuyi said, "But Xiaoyu like you, it's impossible that you can't do it."
"——he won't." Zhou Xi's voice suddenly sounded at the table, and the person did not know when he had walked around the sofa and walked to Yu Jinghai's side.
He raised his hand to hold down Yu Jinghai's hand on the mahjong tiles, pushed away the red chicken, then took that big hand into his palm, and patted it lightly as if comforting.
"I was wrong." Zhou Xi then solemnly apologized to his partner, "I'm sorry."
Yu Jinghai was stunned and his heart was beating with question marks, daughter-in-law, what are you doing wrong and why are you sorry for me? !
"Ah Xi, where are you going to admit your mistake?" Mother Zhou spread out the mahjong tiles in her hand and complained childishly, "Look at this tile that I am going to draw myself!!"
"Yes, you should also apologize to your mother." Zhou Xi turned her head graciously, and admitted her mistake to her mother, "Mom, I'm sorry, I had to force Jinghai to take the table, which disturbed your good cards and interest."
"I know he can't play mahjong, even better than me..." Zhou Xi said while rubbing Yu Jinghai's hand, who was completely stunned by his step by step, "I just want to be lazy... ..."
"Sis, she doesn't want to play with you, so I can ask my brother-in-law to help. I really don't want to play, so I learned my sister's trick..."
Zhou Yue: "??" Flying to the pot?Are you my brother?Just explain to mom, what are you doing with me?I don't want to play, but your brother-in-law wants to play very much, and he is voluntary.
"Mom, you see, my sister and I don't understand this very well. I thought it would be enough to get the number of people together. It doesn't matter if you can play or not. I didn't expect such an oolong..."
