Siheyuan: After being reincarnated as a master's daughter
Chapter 191 New Year 3 Landlord
There were more than a dozen dishes on the dining table, only a few of which were vegetarian, while the vast majority were mouth-watering meat.
You know, in such an era, such a sumptuous banquet is already considered top luxury! After all, at this moment, those from poor families might be satisfied with just a meal of steaming dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, the table full of delicious food with a fragrant aroma made everyone present stare with joy, drool, and their hearts filled with endless desire and yearning.
Everyone sat around the antique round table, staring at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, their throats rolling unconsciously, their mouths drooling as if they wanted to devour the delicacies alive. However, despite their desire for food, everyone still sat there upright, not daring to cross the line.
This scene is not accidental, but comes from an unwritten rule that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day: when a family has a meal, you must wait for the elders to start eating before others can start eating. This rule carries the thousands of years of etiquette culture of the Chinese nation and embodies the traditional virtues of respecting the elders and the order of seniority. Therefore, even if the delicacies in front of them exude an enticing aroma and make people salivate, the children can only hold back their saliva and quietly wait for the elders to give the signal to start eating.
Yi Zhonghai was the first to stand up with a glass of wine in hand and said with a smile: "Today, our whole family is together again to celebrate the New Year! First of all, we want to thank Zhuzi for preparing this sumptuous meal for us. Zhuzi, you have worked hard today!!"
"Secondly, I hope that everyone is in good health and everything goes well. I also hope that you children will continue to make progress in your studies and achieve success in your studies."
"Finally, I wish everyone in our big family happiness and may all their dreams come true."
"cheers!!"
Not only did the adults raise their small wine glasses to toast, but the children also raised their brown sugar water or malted milk and followed the adults in standing on stools to toast together.
After finishing the first sip of wine, Yi Zhonghai took the lead in picking up a piece of tender pork elbow with chopsticks and put it in the bowl of the deaf old lady. Then he smiled at everyone and said, "Let's eat quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone picked up their chopsticks and reached for the dish they wanted to eat the most.
The deaf old lady loves to eat meat the most. Although her teeth are not good and most of them have fallen out, it still does not stop her from happily eating pork elbows.
Although there is no shortage of meat in the space where Yi Jiale lives, and in real life, his parents always prepare a lot of meat for him every time they cook, and often take him to restaurants to enjoy delicious food, but that is only about ten times a month at most, which is not comparable to the large variety of meat dishes in front of him that can be chosen and enjoyed at will.
At this moment, everyone present was eating with relish, wolfing down the food. They were unaware of the grease stains around their mouths, and their faces were filled with smiles of great satisfaction and happiness.
He Zhiguo is only a few months old now. When he was put on the bed, he smelled something and started crying and making a fuss.
Lin Ying went straight over and hugged him, holding him in one hand while eating with the other.
He Zhiguo was held by his mother. Although he stopped crying, he was still struggling in the cradle, trying to grab the food from his mother's mouth.
The aunt quickly finished her meal and took He Zhiguo over: "Yingzi, give Zhiguo to me, you eat quickly!"
Lin Ying smiled sheepishly and said, "Auntie, are you full? Do you want to eat more?"
The lady took He Zhiguo's food and waved her hands, smiling, "I'm full! The kids are greedy when they smell it, so hurry up and eat yours!"
Lin Ying then gave up and continued eating.
After the meal, Lin Ying followed the aunt to collect and wash the dishes, and then the whole family gathered around the stove, eating the dried goods that had been bought in advance, such as melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts, and fruit candies.
Yi Zhonghai gently held He Zhiguo in his arms, gently stroked his back, and hummed an old and beautiful nursery rhyme. The child seemed to feel the warmth and care, and his restless mood gradually calmed down, with a satisfied smile on his face.
At the same time, Lin Ying and an auntie sat beside them, each holding a thin silver needle in their hands, concentrating on weaving between the colorful silk threads. Every stitch and every thread contained their love for life and their deep affection for their families. The pairs of exquisite insoles gradually took shape, like pieces of art, exuding a unique charm.
On the other side, Sha Zhu was holding the lovely He Zhiyuan in his arms, and he sat with Yi Jiale and Lin Xiong, playing the Landlord game with great interest. At this moment, the playing cards in their hands were not ordinary cards, but a special version called "Dream of Red Mansions Poker". The cards of this deck of poker were carefully printed with cartoon images of many classic characters in "Dream of Red Mansions", which were lifelike and irresistible. Whenever a card was turned over, those familiar characters came to life, as if leading everyone into the poetic and dreamy world of the Grand View Garden.
The deaf old lady was either watching them play Landlord or chatting and gossiping with Lin Ying and the other aunt.
There was already a pile of candies in front of Yi Jiale, all of which were lost by Sha Zhu and Lin Xiong.
Yi Jiale has a high IQ and is very good at counting cards. He can easily figure out what cards other people have in their hands and how they will play them, so Yi Jiale cannot lose no matter how hard he tries.
Sha Zhu looked at the cards in his hand and scratched his head. He and his sister-in-law Lin Xiong only had a few candies left. If they lost again, they would have no candies left. This made him very unwilling.
Yi Jiale has always been the banker, and Sha Zhu and Lin Xiong are the opponents, but they have never been able to defeat Yi Jiale, which makes them both very distressed.
Shazhu looked at his sister-in-law, then looked at Tuanzi, and came up with an idea.
Yi Jiale smiled slightly and hit the mark just right, directly 10, J, O, K, A.
Sha Zhu looked at Lin Xiong with hope.
Lin Xiong directly came up with a king bomb.
Yi Jiale: “No.”
"No." Sha Zhu said. Now Sha Zhu hoped that his sister-in-law would throw away all the cards at once and win directly.
But hope is only hope after all, and reality is very bleak. Yi Jiale had already calculated the cards in everyone's hands. He had just deliberately lured down the king bomb. He still had 4 2s in his hand. No matter who played what, he could win with a bomb and then a three-and-one.
