stop, don't move

The housekeeper who went out to buy groceries came back and started to work as a coolie. He wiped the mahjong machine locked in the utility room and dragged it out. Duan Yi and Wen Shiyan also went to help.

Qiao Le also wanted to go there, but was held down by Shi Xin.

"Baby, I heard that you used to be called Qiao Le, right? I'll call you Lele like Ayan, okay?"

"Of course, as long as Auntie likes it."

Qiao Le is standing next to Shi Xin, and now he has relaxed eight points, and the remaining two points are unshakable, used to remind himself not to make mistakes at all times.

"Do you really know how to play mahjong, but you lied to please me, if you don't know anything at the poker table, I will be angry."

Seeing Shi Xin's childlike appearance, Qiao Le couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly waved his hands.

"My family used to play mahjong a lot, and I learned it too, but my card skills are not superb. If I lose, auntie, don't think I'm deliberately letting go."

When he was still in Tongzilou, Qiao Shan almost always made a living from playing cards, and sometimes he would ask Qiao Le to play for him a few times.

After the mahjong machine was plugged in, several people sat down. Wen Shiyan and Qiao Le sat opposite each other, Shi Xin was on Qiao Le's right, and Duan Yi was on Qiao Le's left.

Mahjong looks like a work of art, the other side without printing is transparent, with delicate lotus flowers printed inside, as if it has been injected into it.

"Let's say it first, we don't play gambling, we lose stickers, and finally make mooncakes with me all over our faces."

The other three had no objection, and all said, "You are the boss and you have the final say."

Shi Xin was the banker in the first round. He sorted the cards very quickly and seemed to be an experienced player, so he dealt the first card very quickly.

"In red."

The others didn't respond, Wen Shiyan followed a red middle and then drew a card, Duan Yi played a north wind, Qiao Le looked at the two red middles in his hand, and broke one out.

Qiao Le is very lucky, as long as he touches the red middle, he can listen to the card, but if he touches the future mother-in-law's card at the beginning, will it be considered a blow to the horse, and Wen Shiyan's one can't be touched, and it will be revealed after touching it up.

Qiao Le played cards calmly, successfully discarded another red middle after a few rounds, dismantled a deck of cards, and "accidentally" gave Shi Xin three pairs.

After five rounds, Qiao Le had already pasted three notes on his face, all of which were lost to Zhong Yun.

The other two rounds came from Wen Shiyan.

He had tried to find out what cards Qiao Le had won through his eyes, lest he lose too embarrassingly, but after discovering his wife's intentions, based on the idea that "a husband and wife should have the same difficulties", he also began to unintentionally release water.

After ten rounds, Qiao Le lost five rounds and won one round. The other losses came from Wen Shiyan and Duan Yi, and Shi Xin didn't have a single note on his face.

"Old Wu, come here and replace me. I'll show my daughter-in-law Lele. It's a pity to have such a beautiful face decaled."

The butler moved a chair next to Qiao Le, and Shi Xin sat aside and began to conduct off-site.

"Mom, you're being biased like this. It's ugly for me to lose. Why don't you show me the cards."

"You don't feel ashamed to say it. How could I give birth to a son like you? You just wait to make moon cakes."

After Shi Xin was not at the poker table, Qiao Le relaxed a lot. Of course, he would play cards a little slower, pretending to let Shi Xin guide him, and Wen Shiyan was no longer polite. He was even a veteran of the poker game, and the worst loser in the end was actually Duan Yi.

One afternoon passed, Duan Yi, who had lost nothing, had notes all over his face, and Duan Qiqi, who had just woken up, hesitated seeing his father's appearance.

When Shi Xin went upstairs, everyone except Qiao Le collapsed on the sofa.

"You guys are so ruthless... We are all friends, yet you let me lose so embarrassingly."

Duan Yi sighed tiredly, as if she had been ravaged, she let Duan Qiqi lie on him and help him tear the note.

"Are you tired? When my mother was sitting next to you, you collapsed. You were scared."

"No," Qiao Le shook her head, "Auntie is very nice, very kind, and gentler than I imagined."

"As I said, my mother will definitely like you. Lele is so good, who wouldn't like it."

"Where there is, you will say these good things."

"I am telling the truth."

"Your dad wouldn't like me."

"..."

When Shi Xin came down, he was holding a small box in his hand, and handed it to Qiao Le. Before Qiao Le refused, Shi Xin was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything. Wen Shiyan also patted him and told him to accept.

"It's worthless things, the daughter-in-law is here for the first time, of course you have to give them a gift, open them to see if you like them."

"Thank you auntie."

Qiao Le opened the box, and there was a watch inside. The watch was exquisite in appearance and seemed to be of great value.

"Let's eat first. Aunt Li has been busy all afternoon. Her craftsmanship is really good."

Qiao Le sat between Wen Shiyan and Shi Xin, and both of them picked up food for him from time to time. Qiao Le's chopsticks were full before reaching the plate, and there was still a lot left in the bowl.

He felt that it was inappropriate to leave a large pile, but he couldn't hold it anymore, so he looked at Wen Shiyan for help.

"Mom, Lele is full, so there's no need to bring food for him."

Wen Shiyan transferred what was in Qiao Le's bowl to his own, and successfully made Qiao Le put down his chopsticks.

"Why eat so little, is it not to your liking?"

Seeing his chicken-like appetite, Shi Xin asked worriedly.

"No, Aunt Li's cooking is delicious, but my appetite is too small."

"I have always set him as a goal to gain weight, but I haven't achieved it until now. Instead, I have lost a few pounds."

Wen Shiyan was also very helpless when he mentioned this point, Qiao Le's buttocks were a little fleshy all over his body, but luckily he wasn't so skinny, otherwise he would force Qiao Le to eat again.

"Baby is quite thin, A Yan, you can't take care of others."

"It was my fault, my fault."

Wen Shiyan listened to Shi Xin's lesson humbly, and admitted helplessly.

Qiao Le was afraid that he would not be able to speak again, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a smile, "Auntie, eat slowly, I'll help Aunt Li make mooncakes."

"Lele, you don't need to be busy. What you said during the afternoon card game was just a joke."

"It's okay, auntie, I can make moon cakes, you can eat slowly."

After Qiao Le finished speaking, he sneaked into the kitchen, not needing to speak any more to let him breathe a sigh of relief. He turned his head, and Aunt Li, who was next to him, looked at him with a smile.

"Young man, how old are you this year?"

"..."

During the ten minutes of helping in the kitchen, Aunt Li searched half of Qiao Le's family background. Qiao Le still replied politely. He guessed that all these words would reach Shi Xin's ears in the end, and he still thought about what he said. In a few minutes, he said everything about the recent situation and Wen Shiyan, but didn't mention anything about his past.

Duan Yi took Duan Qiqi home after eating, and escaped the catastrophe of making mooncakes. Taking advantage of Qiao Le's absence, Shi Xin and Wen Shiyan sat down to talk.
