That Year the Flowers Bloomed 1981

Chapter 936 Are There Any Rules in This House?

Li Ye and Wen Leyu took their children back to their home on Fuyou Street. As soon as they entered the gate, the door of the small reception room in the front courtyard opened.

Grandma Wu Juying stood at the door with a sullen face, pursed her lips at Li Ye, and motioned for him to come in and talk.

Li Ye's face hardened, he handed the two children to Wen Leyu, and entered the small reception room with his grandmother.

"What's wrong, grandma, what big thing do you want to discuss with me?"

"Humph, it's not a big deal, but it's not big either."

Wu Juying snorted coldly and said: "The unhealthy tendencies of the bourgeoisie have spread to the house. As the head of the family, you have to go and take care of it."

"I have grandpa and you at home, so who am I to be the head of the family?"

Li Yimei was amused, but when he saw his grandma's unkind expression, he was startled and asked seriously: "Grandma, please don't be angry. Tell me what's going on with that unhealthy trend?"

Wu Juying turned to look at the inner courtyard: "You kindly sent Xiaoying to study abroad in Hong Kong Island, but she and her mother didn't learn from each other and actually learned to play mahjong. During the Chinese New Year, they gathered people at home to play cards.

How is this different from those landlords and wealthy people in the old society? What's going on? Is this Hu Hansan coming back again? "

Only then did Li Ye focus on the direction of the front yard. Sure enough, he faintly heard the sound of mahjong pieces falling on the table, and the sound of the two sisters bickering.

"Bang, three cakes~"

"Eat, Liutiao~"

"Second sister, didn't you just hit six? Why another six?"

"Yes, I won't let you do anything wrong~, you have already won two and a half yuan, and you have won all my New Year's money."

"."

Listening to the bickering between Fu Yiruo and Li Ying, Li Ye smacked his lips and said, "Grandma, playing mahjong is not necessarily gambling. Playing mahjong is a normal entertainment activity on Hong Kong Island.

Xiaoying and her mother-in-law were not familiar with each other in Hong Kong Island. They played mahjong with the neighbors, which was similar to the old women here playing croquet. It was a small bet for fun. If it was just a dime or two, it wouldn't matter. What a big deal."

Playing mahjong is indeed very popular on Hong Kong Island, and there are even many interesting stories related to playing mahjong.

For example, there was a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong who married three wives and concubines. There was no peace at home all day long, and he was constantly called to take him back from the company for review, which annoyed the wealthy businessman.

Later, the wealthy businessman had no choice but to ask an expert for advice. The expert came up with a clever idea - to marry another concubine.

The wealthy businessman didn't understand, but he was originally "a widower and a sick man", so he immediately married his fourth wife.

Then the family instantly became peaceful, because the four daughters-in-law put together a card table, and all kinds of calculations were used on the card table. Even if they quarreled, they should be measured, otherwise the card rack would fall down.

But after listening to Li Ye's explanation, grandma Wu Juying sneered and said: "It depends on how big they are? Why, a handful and a dime don't count as money, right?"

A few gentlemen fell asleep drunk, and a group of women gathered around the table to play cards. Are there any rules in this house?"

"No, no, no, no, there are rules, there are rules, I'm going to take a look! Stop it immediately, stop it immediately."

Li Ye couldn't afford to offend the old guerrilla, so he quickly left and ran to the front yard. If he stayed for a while, he might be on the line for him.

But when Li Ye opened the door of the west wing, he understood the reason why his grandmother found out that the children at home were "gathering for gambling" but did not stop them vigorously.

Because the person in charge at the moment was Fu Guiru, Han Chunmei, Li Ying, and Fu Yiruo were accompanying the fight, while sister-in-law Li Mingxiang, sister Li Yue, and sisters Li Juan and Zhao Meiwen were watching.

[Are you collectively applying eye drops to grandma? 】

If Han Chunmei and Li Ying were gambling for a while, Wu Juying would have come over and overturned the table. Even if Fu Yiruo took the lead in playing cards, Wu Juying would probably have the guts to reprimand them. After all, she has "bloodline suppression".

But my old lady Fu Guiru took the lead. Hehehe~

Fu Guiru saw Li Ye coming in and asked while touching the cards: "Li Ye, why did you come back so early? Doesn't your mother-in-law care about dinner?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "How can we ignore dinner! We came back because the two children happened to be asleep. Otherwise, we would have been crying in the car and the car would have been unsteady."

"You were crying in the car because you didn't feed them well. When I took Xiaobao'er and Xiaodou'er out to play, they really liked riding in the car. Touching yourself, it's crazy~, give me money, give me money, give me money~"

While Fu Guiru was talking to Li Ye, she drew 80,000 random cards.

Fu Yiruo gave Fu Guiru two cents angrily, pouting unhappily.

While giving the money, Xiao Liying praised: "Auntie, you are playing cards very well."

As for Han Chunmei, she stood up after giving the money and said: "It's almost four o'clock. I'm going to cook. Xiaoye, you can cook for me for a while."

But as soon as Han Chunmei stood up, Fu Guiru said: "Sit there and let the children make dinner tonight. Mingxiang, you take the place of Xiaojuan, and Xiaoye, call your grandma over to take the place of Xiaoruo."

"."

Li Ye clicked his eyes and said in a dumbfounded way: "Mom, do you want me to call grandma over to play mahjong?"

Fu Guiru raised her eyelids and said, "That's right! Your grandma wanted to beat her just now, and she wasn't happy if I didn't call her!"

Li Ye: "x-on:¥#x-on:%%......&*%#"

[Mom, are you slandering the character of an old guerrilla? 】

"Why don't you go quickly? Why, you are so old and you are waiting for us elders to cook for you?"

"Hey, I'm going right now!"

Li Ye couldn't afford to offend his mother Fu Guiru, so he had to turn around and look for another grandmother Wu Juying who he couldn't afford to offend.

However, Li Ye was a man of quick wits after all. He came up with a suitable excuse in just the time it took him to walk from the backyard to the front yard.

"Grandma, I went over to see that you really misunderstood my mother and Xiaoying. They thought that their relationship with my mother was too awkward, so they were playing mahjong to promote harmony in their family relationship!"

"Oh? Did your mother say that, or did you make it up?"

"."

Wu Juying looked at Li Ye calmly, waiting for her grandson's explanation.

Li Ye laughed and said, "Grandma, don't worry about who said it. Go and play a few rounds to see if the family relationship has improved."

Wu Juying's eyes became strange: "You want me to play mahjong? Are you trying to drag me into it? Or is it a sugar-coated bullet?"

"Hehe, help us test the depth of the water! If it is really a perverse trend, then we must never have mahjong in our family in the future. If it is beneficial to the harmony of family affection, then playing a little bit is fine!"

Wu Juying's eyes narrowed, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and she stood up and walked out.

"Okay, I'll see what your two mothers have learned."

"."

Li Ye looked at his grandmother's brisk footsteps and seemed to understand something.

She told him that "there are no rules in the family". Could it be that she resented the two daughters-in-law for playing cards without her, leaving her, an old woman, to cook by herself?

Thinking of the daughters-in-law in later generations who did not help to cook, but waited for their mothers-in-law to do the work, Li Ye seemed to have guessed what his grandmother was thinking.

Twenty minutes later, Li Ye, who was busy in the kitchen, heard his grandmother's happy voice.

"Win, all the same color, give me money!"

"Mom, it's just a few cents, is it worth it? I don't have any change."

"If there is no change, I will give you the change. Is this about money?"

Li Ye couldn't help laughing.

The Spring Festival in 1988 was much more lively and warmer than in previous years.
