In the living room where the lights were not turned on, Jiang Zhao took Xiao Siye's hand and walked upstairs quietly.
Lao Jiang's snoring sound could be faintly heard from the master bedroom downstairs. Jiang Zhao was worried all the way, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he brought Xiao Si to the guest room.
There was only one wall between the guest room and his bedroom. Jiang Zhao stuffed him into the guest room and told him, "Don't go out tomorrow morning. I'll get up early and tell my parents before you come out."
He could almost imagine how Ms. Xu would look at Xiao Siye with teasing eyes when she saw Xiao Siye tomorrow morning, and her scalp would tingle when she thought of this scene.
But after all, he was the one who asked Xiao Si to come to his house himself, and once he said it, it was hard to follow.
Xiao Si also looked down at him, his voice was lowered, and there was a hint of guilt in his expression: "I was too impulsive tonight and caused you trouble."
Jiang Zhao's heart softened, he has always been a master who takes soft things but not tough ones, and Xiao Si also apologized to him pitifully, which made his only trace of grievances suddenly dissipate.
"Aren't you unhappy at your relative's house?" Jiang Zhao raised his eyebrows. Some kind of responsibility as a patron made him straighten up a little, "If that's the case, then don't think too much about it. My family is free to play."
The melancholy on Xiao Siye's face was swept away immediately, and replaced with a light smile: "Well, I see."
Jiang Zhao was slightly taken aback, he coughed lightly, turned his head and said, "Then I'll go back."
"Good night," Xiao Si also leaned against the door, and seemed to mutter to himself again, "This seems to be the first good night I said this year."
Jiang Zhao's footsteps paused.
Then, he pushed open the door of his room, and with the wind blowing when he opened the door, a soft voice also floated over and fell into Xiao Siye's ears:
"Good night."
—
"Happy New Year!"
"Hello Uncle, Hello Auntie!"
"Oh, Xiuxiu and Dudu have grown taller, come, take the red envelope!"
…
Jiang Zhao deliberately got up at six o'clock in the morning, but his relatives arrived earlier than he expected, so that when he walked downstairs, many people had already come to the living room.
Jiang Zhao could only greet these strange relatives one by one with a stiff smile, and incidentally accepted a lot of enthusiastic praise from the three aunts and six wives.
He repeatedly signaled Ms. Xu with his eyes that he wanted her to stay away from the circle of relatives, and then reported to her that Xiao Si also came to their house. But Ms. Xu probably hasn't chatted happily with anyone for too long these days. She sits at the center of the circle of relatives like a queen with melon seeds in her hand and slippers on her feet. She slaps her legs and laughs from time to time. come out.
After five minutes of hard work, Jiang Zhao gave up, but when he turned around, two cute little girls who looked exactly the same appeared in front of him.
"Hello, little uncle!" Xiuxiu raised her face.
"Happy New Year!" Dudu blinked.
Jiang Zhao looked at his nieces who had grown from two tender and well-behaved little balls to sloppy little radish heads, and sighed resignedly: "Wait for me to go upstairs, and I'll get red envelopes for you two."
The little girls giggled and followed Jiang Zhao bouncingly.
The two little ones are just five years old, just at the age of beginning to understand, but each loves mischief more than the other. Jiang Zhao originally asked them to wait downstairs, and they hugged Jiang Zhao's leg each, like two large pendants: "We want to be with little uncle!"
Jiang Zhao couldn't move an inch, and tried to dissuade him unwillingly: "Wait obediently downstairs, okay? I'll find cartoons for you to watch. Do you like Team Miaomiao, Xilanglang or Piggy Pecho?"
Xiuxiu blinked her eyes wide: "But I want to play with the handsome guy."
Dudu nodded: "Handsome guy!"
Jiang Zhao: "..."
Although he was very reluctant to accept it, he had to admit that he was completely controlled by these two little guys.
The eyes of the little girls were shining, as clear as the dewdrops on the treetops in the morning, exuding a sense of innocence, so that Jiang Zhao sighed deeply.
He explained to his cousin next to him, and led a happy little carrot head upstairs with one hand. The little guys are full of curiosity about the world upstairs. In the past two years, Jiang Zhao was busy outside and never went home for the New Year. Lou has no memory.
There are many rooms on the second floor, except for Jiang Zhao's bedroom and two or three guest rooms, which are the study room, chess room and game room. Jiang Zhao asked them to wait at the door. He had already made plans. There were video games and dance machines in the game room. When he got the red envelopes, he would drive the children to the next game room.
However, when Jiang Zhao just found out the red envelope in the room, he heard the little girls talking:
"What room is this?"
"My little uncle said it was a game room."
"What's in the game room?"
"Go in and have a look."
Jiang Zhao's expression froze, and then he suddenly realized something - that room is the guest room where Xiao Si also lives!
He almost sprinted out of the room at a speed of 100 meters: "Wait a minute!"
Xiuxiu and Dudu looked at him ignorantly, their little fists were still on the door of the guest room, as if they were knocking on the door.
Jiang Zhao heaved a sigh of relief. He was extremely thankful that his two little nieces had good tutors, so he didn't just push the door to go in: "It's not that one."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the door opened with a "click".
Under Jiang Zhao's desperate gaze, Xiuxiu and Dudu Qiqi opened their eyes wide. After a while, Xiuxiu was the first to let out an exclamation:
"Little uncle hid a handsome guy in the room!"
Dudu covered his red face: "Handsome guy!"
…
Before the two little bastards ran downstairs to expose him, Jiang Zhao chose to cover his mouth with a red envelope each, and carried them downstairs.
Xiao Si also followed beside him, whispering: "Sorry, I thought it was you."
"It's okay," Jiang Zhao sighed, thinking that if he couldn't hide, he still couldn't hide, "Just follow me downstairs."
A gleam of light flashed across Xiao Siye's eyes, but he still looked anxious on the surface: "Now?"
Jiang Zhao's expression was a little numb: "Yes, otherwise all my relatives would know that I hid a man in the room."
Xiao Si also: "..."
He pressed the curve of his lips, and replied: "Well, then I will try not to embarrass you."
It was only then that Jiang Zhaozhe noticed that Xiao Si was already dressed in suits and leather shoes, and he was meticulously dressed from head to toe, obviously ready for a long time.
In other words, before he got up, Xiao Si had already packed himself and was ready to meet his relatives.
Jiang Zhao's understanding of his professionalism has once again risen to a higher level.
Five minutes later, under the surprised gazes of all the relatives of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhao coughed lightly: "This is... my boyfriend."
A hint of surprise flashed across Ms. Xu's face, but then she understood something. She smiled and introduced to everyone naturally: "This is our little girl, isn't he handsome?"
"Hey!" Uncle Jiang exclaimed, "I've seen this guy on TV!"
The relatives of the Jiang family have known about Jiang Zhao's sexual orientation for a long time, but this is the first time in so many years that Jiang Zhaozhen brought a boyfriend home, and they immediately became very interested:
"How old is Xiao Ye? Are you traveling with Zhao Zhao?"
"How long have you known Zhao Zhao?"
"When are you going to get married?"
"Oh, you look so pretty. Do you have any brothers who are not single yet? Auntie knows a girl..."
The oncoming question bombardment had already made Jiang Zhao's scalp tingle, but Xiao Si sat down in the crowd calmly, with a warm smile on his face, and answered every question in an uncluttered manner:
"I'm twenty-eight this year. I'm a colleague. Xiao Zhao has always taken care of me."
"We've known each other since college, almost ten years."
"Marriage? I haven't considered this for the time being. The current living conditions are very suitable for him and me. However, if he is willing, I will fully cooperate."
"Sorry, there is only one younger brother who is not yet an adult."
…
Neither humble nor overbearing and approachable, within a short while, Xiao Si won the strong favor of all the relatives of the Jiang family.
Jiang Zhao wiped off Xiao Si's sweat in his heart, and at the same time he was secretly glad that Xiao Si was there, allowing him to escape the bombing from the seven aunts and eight aunts every time he went home for the New Year.
If it was him, he would have found an excuse to run away in less than ten minutes.
This passionate gossip lasted for more than an hour, and when the relatives of the Jiang family arrived one after another, the kitchen began to cook in full swing. Different from the habits of other families, the cooks of the Jiang family are mainly Lao Jiang and a few men from his uncle's generation. A group of old men rolled up their sleeves and put on floral aprons.
The ladies gathered together in the open space of the living room - setting up a table and playing mahjong in full swing.
"Five barrels!" Ms. Xu's Sichuan and Sichuan DNA will be awakened at this time of year, which can be called the brightest moment of the year, "Nonsense! Come and give me money!"
Jiang Zhao coaxed the two little nieces to watch the wolves, and when he had time, he and Xiao Si stood beside the two card tables, and introduced to the people beside him in a low voice: "When my mother was young, she used this hand of cards. She beat all the old men and women in the alley of her house, and was kicked off the poker table several times by the angry old man."
Xiao Si also sighed with emotion: "It's amazing, what about you?"
Jiang Zhao: "..."
Jiang Zhao coughed dryly: "I inherited this aspect from my father."
Xiao Si also looked at him: "For example?"
Jiang Zhao: "For example, responsible for lighting my mother's cannon."
Xiao Si also bent his eyes, and just as he wanted to laugh, Jiang Zhao stared at him: "Don't laugh."
Xiao Si had no choice but to lower his head and hide the smile in his eyes: "Well, I have been professionally trained... I can't laugh."
Jiang Zhao: "..."
No way, card skills really depend on talent and metaphysics. Ms. Xu was able to fight on the mahjong table when she was pregnant with Liujia.
Just at another poker table, Jiang Zhao's cousin called. When she got up, she saw the two of them and raised her hand to say hello, "Which one of you will play for me?"
With a thought in his mind, Jiang Zhao pushed Xiao Siye's back: "He!"
After a while, Xiao Si also sat at the card table, sitting in a shirt, his overly formal appearance was incompatible with this card table.
The three aunts, aunts and sisters all looked at him sideways and smiled, with kind tones, like a pack of wolves looking at a little lamb that strayed into a pack of wolves: "Young man, can you play mahjong?"
Xiao Si also: "Slightly understand."
"It's okay," Jiang Zhao's cousin waved her hand grandly, "Don't worry, just play as you like, we are very kind."
Jiang Zhao couldn't help asking, "Are you going to release water on him?"
He has not forgotten that every time he went to the table in the past, he was tricked by his relatives all over the world, but when he was a child, he still had a stubbornness, and he had to lose his pocket money every time He just walked down the table with his fists clenched, but when he grows up, he learns to be smart. No matter how much his sister-in-law at home persuades him, he will never participate.
Hearing this, the cousin gave him a fussy look: "What are you thinking? I mean I will leave him with a pair of pants."
Jiang Zhao: "..."
Looking at the hostile smiles of his relatives, he really felt a little uneasy. He looked down again, and saw that the whole set of mahjong in Xiao Siye's hand had never been arranged, and the order he found was the order. Obviously, it looks like a beginner who is too new to be new.
So Jiang Zhao became even more anxious. He hesitated for a moment, then bent down and patted Xiao Siye on the shoulder: "Don't get on top, run away if you lose everything."
Xiao Si also smiled at him: "No problem, I know."
Jiang Zhao looked at his innocent look, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart—it's over, I'm afraid that if he really loses, there will be no pants left.
However, within a few minutes of his feeling, Xiao Si pushed the mahjong in his hand: "Nonsense."
Jiang Zhao: "?"
relatives:"??"
Xiao Si also showed a gentle and harmless smile: "It should be good luck."
The relatives reacted immediately, yes, novices may also be lucky and play cards.
The next game of cards started soon, and Jiang Zhao looked a little more serious, waiting to see how Xiao Si would play.
However, the more he watched, the more shocked he became, because each of Xiao Si's cards seemed to be like divine help. It didn't take long before the others even started to listen to the cards, and Xiao Si had already pushed the mahjong: "Sorry, all of them."
Relatives of Jiang Zhao's family: "??"
In the shock of everyone, the mahjong machine was replaced with another set of cards. This Xiaosi is also the dealer. Jiang Zhao was completely awake at this moment from the fatigue he had just had, and he was fully focused on waiting to see Xiao Siye's performance.
But after drawing the cards, he didn't even read all of Xiao Siye's cards, and saw Xiao Si also suddenly push the cards in his hand:
"Sorry, Tianhu."
relatives:"… "
Jiang Zhao: "Fuck?!"
Even the attention of Ms. Xu's table was attracted by this side, and they all leaned over to look at the legendary Tianhu, while Xiao Si still sat in his seat calmly, showing a calm smile:
"Maybe my luck today is indeed a bit good."
Jiang Zhao: "..."
You call that, kinda good
The author has something to say:
Tianhe, that is, Tianhu, is a form of winning cards in mahjong, which refers to the situation where the dealer uses the first 14 cards and cards drawn. Only the banker can achieve it, which is quite rare. According to calculations, the probability is about one in 300,000. [From Baidu Encyclopedia]
The nigga said he never saw Tianhu qaq;
It's the first watch, and the second watch is probably in the daytime, so I'll watch it when I wake up—
