That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 936 Are there any rules in this family?

Li Ye and Wen Leyu returned to their home on Fuyou Street with their children. As soon as they entered the front door, the door of the small reception room in the back house of the front yard opened.
Grandma Wu Juying stood at the door with a sullen face. She nodded at Li Ye and motioned him to come in and talk.

Li Ye's face darkened. He handed the two children to Wen Leyu and went into the small reception room with their grandmother.

"What's wrong, grandma? Is there something important you want to discuss with me?"

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

Wu Juying snorted coldly and said, "The evil tendencies of the bourgeoisie have blown into our home. As the head of the family, you have to go and take care of it."

"I have grandpa and you at home, how can I be the head of the family?"

Li Ye was amused, but when he saw his grandmother's unhappy expression, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked seriously: "Grandma, don't be angry first, tell me what is going on with that evil spirit?"

Wu Juying turned her head and looked towards the inner courtyard: "You sent Xiaoying to study in Hong Kong Island with good intentions, but instead of learning from her mother, she learned to play mahjong. During the New Year's Day, she even gathered at home to play cards.

What’s the difference between this and the landlords in the old society? What’s going on? Is Hu Hansan coming back again?”

Only then did Li Ye focus his attention towards the front yard. Sure enough, he could faintly hear the sound of mahjong pieces falling on the table and the sound of his two sisters bickering.

"Bang, three cakes~"

"Eat, six~"

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

"Yes, I just don't want you to win. You've already won two dollars and sixty cents. You've taken 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 all about gambling. Playing mahjong is a very normal entertainment activity in Hong Kong Island.

Xiaoying and her mother are unfamiliar with Hong Kong Island, so they play mahjong with their neighbors, just like the old ladies here chatting, a little gambling for fun, if it's just a dime or two, it's not a big deal."

Mahjong is indeed very popular in Hong Kong Island, and there are even many interesting stories related to mahjong.

For example, there was a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong who married three wives and concubines. There were quarrels all day long at home and they always called him back from the company to settle the dispute, which made the wealthy businessman very annoyed.

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

The rich businessman didn't understand, but he was ill anyway, so he married a fourth wife right away.

Then the house instantly became peaceful, because the four daughters-in-law gathered around a card table and used all kinds of calculations at the card table. Even when they quarreled, they knew when to stop, otherwise the card stand would collapse.

But after listening to Li Ye's explanation, Grandma Wu Juying sneered and said, "How big do they have to be? What, ten cents a handful doesn't count, right?

A few old men got drunk and fell asleep, while a bunch of women sat around the table playing cards. Is there any order in this house?"

"No, no, no, there are rules, there are rules, I'll go check it out! Stop it immediately, stop it immediately."

Li Ye couldn't afford to offend the old guerrilla fighter, so he quickly left and ran to the front yard. If he stayed any longer, he might get into trouble.

However, when Li Ye pushed open the door of the west wing, he understood why his grandmother did not stop it swiftly when she found out that the children were gambling together.

Because the dealer at the moment was Fu Guiru, Han Chunmei, Li Ying, and Fu Yiru were playing with her, while her aunt Li Mingxiang, sister Li Yue, and younger sisters Li Juan and Zhao Meiwen were watching from the side.

[Are you guys collectively giving grandma eye drops? ]

If Han Chunmei and Li Ying were gambling for fun, Wu Juying would have come over and overturned the table long ago. Even if Fu Yiru took the lead in playing cards, Wu Juying would probably have dared to scold them, after all, she had "bloodline suppression".

But my old lady Fu Guiru took the lead. Hehehe~
Fu Guiru saw Li Ye coming in and asked while drawing cards: "Li Ye, why are you 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 just happened to be asleep. Otherwise, they would have been crying in the car and I wouldn't have been able to drive steadily."

"They kept crying in the car because you didn't feed them well. When I took Xiaobaoer and Xiaodouer out to play, they loved riding in the car. I won by myself, give me money, give me money, give me money~"

While Fu Guiru was talking to Li Ye, she drew 80,000 and won the game. Fu Yiru gave Fu Guiru two cents in a sullen manner, pouting and looking unhappy.

Little Li Ying gave the money while praising: "Auntie, you play cards really well."

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

But just as Han Chunmei stood up, Fu Guiru said, "You sit there, let the children cook dinner tonight. Mingxiang, you take Xiaojuan's place, Xiaoye, you call your grandmother to take Xiaoruo's place."

"."

Li Ye blinked his eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, you want me to ask grandma to come over and play mahjong?"

Fu Guiru raised her eyelids and said, "Yes! Your grandma wanted to hit you just now. She will be unhappy if you don't call her!"

Li Ye: "@￥#@%%......&*%#"

[Mother, are you slandering the character of an old guerrilla fighter? ]

"Why don't you go now? Why, at your age, are you still waiting for us elders to cook for you?"

"Hey, I'll go right away!"

Li Ye couldn't afford to offend his mother Fu Guiru, so he had to turn to another grandmother Wu Juying whom 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 the time it took him to walk from the backyard to the front yard.

"Grandma, I went over to take a look. You really misunderstood my mother and Xiaoying. They think their relationship with my mother is too awkward, so they are playing mahjong to promote harmony in their family!"

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

"."

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

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

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

"Hey, can you help us test the depth of this water? If it is really an evil trend, then we will never allow mahjong to appear in our home again. If it is beneficial to the harmony of family relationships, then playing a little bit is not a bad thing!"

Wu Juying narrowed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, stood up and walked out.

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

"."

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

When she told me that "there are no rules anymore" at home, could it be that she was resentful of her two daughters-in-law for playing cards without her, leaving her, an old woman, to cook by herself?

Thinking about those daughters-in-law in later generations who did not help to cook but waited for their mother-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's no change, I'll make the change for you. Is this about money?"

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The Spring Festival in 1988 at the Li family was much more lively and warmer than in previous years.
