Three or Two Things about Rebirth

After playing mahjong for three hours, the game ended. In the end, Ma Mingjun and Mou Shanjiang, who lost, went out to buy some barbecue and cooked food, and brought back a portion of sweet and sour pork from the restaurant, saying it would be the ladies' dish for today.

Lu Jiaming cooked some rice in the kitchen and heated up the ready-made dishes he brought from the Qin family. He divided eight dishes into twelve plates and placed them on two tables put together. Then eight people sat around them, instantly filling up the small living room.

This time, no one dared to drink too much, and everyone spent most of the time chatting.

Qin Huifang asked Ma Mingjun, "Hey, Old Ma, why didn't you bring your partner? And Meifen, you said you would bring Fu Xinyang, why didn't you come?"

Han Meifen smiled and said, "He has something to do and can't come. Maybe next time."

Ma Mingjun laughed and said, "I won't bring him. We have only been together for a few days. None of these wolves have partners, especially Brother Yang Dawei. He is too charming. I am afraid that someone will steal his partner. And with this handsome Brother Mou here today, I dare not bring him!"

When everyone heard about Wei Ge, they all laughed. Yang Dawei raised his glass and clinked it with Zheng Wei, "Come on, Wei Ge, let's have a drink!"

Zheng Wei sighed helplessly and clinked glasses with him, "Who the hell came up with this name?"

Lu Jiaming smiled, "Isn't he your dad?"

"Get lost! Where's the medicine?"

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Lu Jiaming was very proud. "Hurry up, my daughter is almost one year old, and you still don't even have a partner!"

Zheng Wei said, "Lao Ma has a girlfriend, and no one likes me! Lao Yang has too many girlfriends!"

Ma Mingjun said, "You deserve it! Who told you to be so stubborn?"

Qin Huifang asked in confusion, "What do you mean by stubborn?"

As soon as Ma Mingjun opened his mouth, Zheng Wei covered his mouth.

Ma Mingjun opened it and said, "Did you wash your hands before eating? You smell like stinky feet!"

Zheng Wei laughed, "My feet don't stink, but my hands do, so I lost the mahjong game!"

Qin Huifang said, "Tsk, Old Zheng has a terrible hand, he doesn't know how to play mahjong at all, he doesn't know how to look at the next player, he makes Lu Ming very happy, he either wins or loses, I haven't even got a chance to listen and Lu Ming has already won, isn't it infuriating? Mou Shanjiang is the same, he looks down on me, it's harder than climbing to the sky to win a card! Lu Ming won the whole deck of cards!"

Yang Dawei looked at Zheng Wei, then at Mou Shanjiang, "Tsk tsk, this is not incompetence, this is too good! Old Zheng is deliberately providing for the next buyer!"

Qin Huifang and Qiu Luming looked at each other blankly, "Really?"

Yang Dawei snorted and laughed, "Well, both of them have white beards now!"

Everyone laughed.

Lu Jiaming said, "It's okay, daughter-in-law, you lose, buddy, I win!"

Yang Dawei snorted again, "It's like winning the house or the land. When his luck is just a little bit off, he immediately changes the banker. If it's a tie, he laughs out loud. If it's a tie, he complains. I just changed my socks, but in less than an hour, they're so stinking again. I don't know how Lao Qin can bear it!"

Lu Jiaming pointed at Yang Dawei with a braised chicken claw in his hand, "We are offended by each other, so you better stop talking to me in the future!"

"You f*cking think I'm one of those self-employed people under you, just clicking with a broken chicken claw, why don't we go out for a walk!"

"Just go ahead, who's afraid of who?"

"I think you two are really incompatible. From childhood to adulthood, you always fight whenever you get together!" Qin Huifang warned, "I'm finally letting you go once, so don't make trouble for me and ruin my good mood!"

Yang Dawei bowed to her and said, "I can't beat you. You two are in the same group. I can't beat you." He turned to ask Qiu Luming, "I heard that you and Fei Yuanhang broke up because of your conflicting physiognomy?"

"Old Yang!" At least three or four people called out to Yang Dawei at the same time.

Yang Dawei didn't care. "Old Qiu isn't the kind of weak person who cries all the time. Besides, are you going to keep this a secret for the rest of your life?"

Qin Huifang stood up and tapped Yang Dawei on the head with chopsticks. "This is a rumor. After they broke up, Fei Yuanhang got hurt again. This has nothing to do with us Lu Ming. He is just too unlucky!"

"Old Qiu, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and restore your relationship with him! Then you can follow him to Beijing. It will be so nice to live in the capital!" Yang Dawei said, rubbing his head.

"You still have something to say!" Qin Huifang pretended to hit him again, but Yang Dawei snatched the chopsticks away, "I'm not your Lu Jiaming, you can hit me if you want. If you make me angry, I dare to hit even an old lady!"

"Hey, try touching my wife!" Lu Jiaming slammed the table.

Qiu Luming raised his hand to look at his watch, "My second brother and his wife are going to Yi City to celebrate the New Year. I have to go and light the stove for them."

"Why not cook it at any time? Wait until after dinner!"

"You guys play first, I'll come back after I light the stove." Qiu Luming had already put on his down jacket and leather boots.

Seeing that she couldn't keep him, Qin Huifang could only say, "Then hurry up! By the way, let Brother Shanjiang take you there!"

"No need. I can do it myself." Before he finished speaking, Qiu Luming had already gone downstairs.

"Hey? Zheng Wei, where are you going? Hey! Hey!" Lu Jiaming shouted several times in a row, but Zheng Wei had already rushed downstairs without even turning his head back.

Ma Mingjun said, "Don't worry about it. Old Zheng has that kind of temper. When he gets angry, even ten cows can't stop him. Let him take Old Qiu away. It will be safer. Let's continue eating. Brother Mou, come on, let's drink for the first time..."

******

Qiu Luming went to Qiu Jiashu's house. The house was cold. Zheng Wei helped her carry firewood to start a fire, and then put a few pieces of coal.

Qiu Luming couldn't help, she stood by the stove and said, "Zheng Wei, why did you come out with me? I want to go home directly later!"

"I'm here to take you home." Zheng Wei swept the entrance to the stove with a broom and looked down at the firelight coming through the stove ring. "We all regret what happened that day. Fortunately, you two are fine, otherwise we would really commit suicide to apologize."

Qiu Luming said distressedly, "It's been a year since the incident happened. Can we not bring it up?"

"can."

Seeing that the stove was lit, Qiu Luming put on her hat and gloves and prepared to leave, but Zheng Wei suddenly stopped her.

Qiu Luming seemed to have just realized Zheng Wei's size and body shape. He stood in front of him like a bear and said in a muffled voice, "I have a tough life."

"What?" Qiu Luming was confused and looked up.

"Beep, beep!" A sound came from Qiu Luming's purse. She took out her pager, pressed two buttons, and was stunned.

——It’s Fei Yuanhang!

"What's wrong?" Zheng Wei had a bad feeling and asked.

Qiu Luming stuffed the pager into his bag and strode out in a hurry, almost locking Zheng Wei in the yard.

Zheng Wei looked at Qiu Luming, who rode away without saying a word, and slapped himself hard on the mouth, "What the hell are you talking about!"
