Qin Yongjun has been busy playing mahjong with friends every day recently. She has converted the original east room of Zhang Lan's old house into a temporary chess and card room. In addition, the air conditioner in the east room has never been turned off. There are more and more people playing mahjong.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Lan simply packed up one of the two westernmost clinic rooms and moved the table into the original clinic room. Now the resting place in the east is much quieter.

After lunch, Zhang Lan was lying on the sofa in the main room watching TV when Qin Yongjun walked in from outside. Zhang Lan looked at her and said, "Why don't you go get a fight?"

Qin Yongjun walked to the sofa and slowly sat down against it. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why don't you play mahjong with these two little things? A game lasts three to five minutes. I wake up every now and then. I'm so tired." People."

"Just play a few games for fun, and I plan to keep playing." Zhang Lan is not interested in playing cards and mahjong.

"It's time to pass the time. There are more and more people gathering here. I think the fun is getting bigger and bigger. You have to take care of it." Qin Yongjun said.

Zhang Lan really didn't know that he originally thought it was Qin Yongjun who passed the time. The price of five or ten yuan was as high as the sky, and it actually got bigger and bigger. He sat up from the sofa and said, "How old are you guys now?"

"Everything I play is five yuan. I didn't want to play just now. They were twenty as soon as they came to the table. There are also fishermen, and some can get more than two hundred." Qin Yongjun said something that surprised Zhang Lan. number.

"Isn't there a chess and card room in Murakami? Why do you come here to play so much?" Zhang Lan asked with some confusion.

"I don't know. Maybe it's because we don't withdraw money, or because no one checks. Now there's another table set up over there." Qin Yongjun thought for a moment and said.

Zhang Lan was speechless, picked up the phone and called the village chief Zhang Dashan.

"Hello, happy New Year, Zhang Lan, what are you calling about?" Zhang Dashan asked cheerfully on the phone.

"Happy New Year to Uncle Dashan. Nothing to do. I just want to see if you are at home right now. I'll come over and have a drink with you." Zhang Lan said with the same smile.

"Come on, I'm having a dinner with people from my village at home. It's just the beginning of a small meeting, so you're here just in time." Zhang Dashan invited Zhang Lan with a smile.

"Okay, I'll be there right away. I have some good wine here and I'll bring it over in a minute."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yongjun asked, "What are you planning to do when you call someone?"

Zhang Lan took two bottles of wine from the cabinet in the back suite, walked to the door and changed his shoes and said: "I'll go to the village chief to see if we can't have a chess and card room in our house. Taking advantage of this trend, I'll go Ask what’s going on.”

When they arrived at Zhang Dashan's house, several people from the village committee were there. Zhang Lan smiled and exchanged greetings one by one and then began to sit down and drink. After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Dashan asked with a smile: "Zhang Lan, what do you want to do? Everyone in the village is here, and everything that can be solved will be solved for you."

After listening to Zhang Dashan's words, Zhang Lan looked at Zhang Dashan's smiling face and said casually: "What can I do for this Chinese New Year? I just came here to ask you, Uncle Dashan, for a drink. Not even a year ago, our village just contracted The barren mountain, what happens there from now on, Uncle Dashan, please help me tell me."

The smile on Zhang Dashan's face deepened, and he said, "Zhang Lan, you are too polite. This is all within your scope. There is no need to say that."

After coming out of Zhang Dashan's house, the smile on Zhang Lan's face dropped instantly. After returning to his old house, Zhang Lan sat on the sofa and thought for a while and called his eldest brother Zhang Jialin. The eldest brother Zhang Jialin is a senior mayou, and he must know the reason. After getting through, Zhang Jialin happened to be playing mahjong at Zhang Lan's old house. He came over after receiving the call.

"What are you talking about on the phone?" Zhang Jialin sat on the sofa and took a bite of the apple on the coffee table.

"Why don't these people who play mahjong go to our Murakami chess and card room these days? Why do they come to my house?" Zhang Lan asked.

"There is only one chess and card room in our village, opened by Zhang Dashan's brother. His machine swipes the card one at a time. The card used to be swiped ten times for ten yuan a piece. During the Chinese New Year, it became twenty yuan a piece ten times. Some people don't want to go." Zhang Jialin explained.

"Then why doesn't anyone else open the door?" Zhang Lan asked smoothly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that he would ask more questions.

"Why didn't anyone open it before? The police station checked every day and couldn't open it." Zhang Jialin said the reason.

Zhang Lan nodded thoughtfully and said that when he met Zhang Dashan for a drink today, what he said sounded so awkward. It turned out that Murakami's chess and card room was owned by his brother. A mahjong machine can play at least ten games an hour, and there are at least five or six machines in the chess and card room. His net income of more than 100 an hour was messed up by him.

Zhang Lan was sitting on the sofa thinking about the problem. It was not a problem for this old man to gather more and more people. After thinking about it, he asked: "Brother, do you want to open a chess and card room at your home?"

Zhang Jialin stopped eating the apple, looked at Zhang Lan and said, "I'm going to make a scene at home today, believe it or not, someone from the police station will come over tonight."

Zhang Lan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother, no one else but me can think of it."

"I say this is the truth. Who in the village doesn't know that Zhang Dashan's brother's chess and card room gives him more than half of the money every month, which means you will be at home these two days, otherwise try another one."

Zhang Lan sighed and said, "I don't want to play at home either. If your siblings hadn't been playing at home these two days, I would have put the table away long ago."

"You can figure it out yourself. There are only so many people here now, and there will be more people in two days." Zhang Jialin said.

Zhang Lan turned to ask: "Brother, do you know what Zhang Hu is doing now?"

"I'm working in Xiangshi. I heard that I'm selling second-hand cars. What do you do here?"

"If it doesn't work, let Zhang Hu and his wife Fang Xia set up a chess and card room at home. Zhang Hu also knows a few people. From what you said, it will be much better than working in a month, but I don't know what he and his wife are doing." Are you willing or not?" Zhang Lan said his suggestion.

"That's okay. Why don't you want to do that? I'll call Zhang Hu and ask them to come over." Zhang Jialin took out his mobile phone and started calling Zhang Hu.

After a while, Zhang Hu and his wife Fang Xia arrived at the old house, greeted each other and sat down on the sofa. Fang Xia then said: "Zhang Lan, I haven't been able to pay you back the money in the past two years. I will start paying you back as soon as I can make enough money. I guess I won't be able to pay back that much at once, so I have to pay you back separately."

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's enough if you say this. Today I'm not talking to you about this, but I just have a business and want to ask if you and my brother are willing to do it?"

"What kind of business is this? We don't have much capital now. The tens of thousands of dollars on the credit card will be almost empty if we pay it back to your brother's friends at the end of the year." Fang Xia said with some embarrassment.

Zhang Jialin on the side spoke: "Zhang Lan, what you said is not eloquent at all. Fang Xia, let me tell you, there are more and more people playing mahjong in Zhang Lan's family in the past two days. Zhang Lan got tired of it, so she wanted to I'm looking for people from our family to set up a chess and card room and drag them away. Now I want to ask you two if you dare to accept this move."
