Hu Laoqi left home full of anger. He felt that he was so cowardly and had been cheated on. As a result, Xiaolan not only had no intention of repenting, but instead felt confident. This cowardice left Hu Laoqi nowhere to vent, and he was extremely depressed.

Thinking about the people in the family, except for Guishou Tang who was called here by himself, none of the others are related to him by blood. He has no way to express his grievances and can only hold it secretly.

This home made him feel cold, and he didn't want to stay for a moment, but when he thought about it carefully, there was no place to go in the entire Xiaolizitun. He wandered on the street, feeling like a lonely ghost.

In addition to Tiger Laoqi's lack of enough trust in Xiaolan, Xiaolan also bears a lot of responsibility for today's result.

As the saying goes, "men and women are not close to each other." Although Xiaolan did not have any distracting thoughts and Xiao Chengzi drank too much, after all, their behavior exceeded the generally recognized boundaries of friends, which caused Yang Xiangwen's misunderstanding and eventually Hu Lao

Qi can't let go.

Hu Laoqi walked aimlessly on the street, the snow under his feet made a "creeping" sound. He saw that every household was busy preparing for the Spring Festival, and felt very uncomfortable. This kind of happiness seemed to be far away from him.

.

"Lao Qi, what are you doing?" Tao San, a bachelor, greeted Hu Lao Qi as he walked towards them.

Tao San was idle and liked to entertain cats and dogs on weekdays. He once tried to take advantage of Xiao Lan when Tiger Lao Qi was not at home, but he was tortured by General Dabai so badly that he fled.

Of course, Hu Lao Qi didn't know about Tao San bullying Xiao Lan. When Tao San called him, Hu Lao Qi said, "It's nothing, just come out for a walk!"

"What's the point of strolling around in the freezing cold outside? If you're okay, come with me to Mingde?" Tao San said, stamping his feet.

"What are you doing in Mingde?"

"There is someone in Mingde who promotes Pai Gow, let's go try our luck!"

Hu Laoqi also played several times in the village in the past few days, but it was always "four against one" poker, and the winning or losing was very small. Now that Tao Sanyi encouraged him, Hu Laoqi became more excited.

If Hu Lao Qi and Xiao Lan hadn't had any quarrel, and Hu Lao Qi had promised Xiao Lan not to gamble anymore, he would have definitely not been tempted. Now that he has nowhere to go, and being angry with Xiao Lan, he is wavering.

"Isn't it a big deal? I don't have much money in my hand!" Hu Laoqi only had five yuan in his body.

"You are not the banker. You can bet as much as you have. If you win, we will continue to win more. If we lose, we will leave. What do you think?" Tao San continued to encourage.

Hu Laoqi thought for a while, he only had five yuan anyway, so if he lost, he would lose, so he thought it was just to relax, so he followed Tao San.

Although Xiaolan was angry with Hu Laoqi, she had no idea of ​​divorce, so when she made dinner, she also brought Hu Laoqi's share. But after everyone finished eating, Hu Laoqi still didn't come back until it was time to go to bed.

, Tiger Lao Qi is still missing.

When Hu Lao Qi was playing poker in the village for the first few days, he sometimes didn't come home until late at night, so everyone didn't pay much attention and went to rest.

The next day was the New Year's Eve, and every household hung lanterns and posted couplets, making the New Year atmosphere more and more intense. Xiaolan distributed the new clothes she had made to everyone, and Dazhi and Xiaoyu sang and danced happily wearing their new clothes.

Guishou Tang felt warm in his heart when he saw that he also had new clothes. He forgot how many years he had not worn new clothes during the Chinese New Year. He touched the new clothes and praised Xiaolan's needlework.

Everyone has new clothes, except Xiaolan and Hu Laoqi. Xiaolan is very happy to see everyone wearing new clothes. Although she is wearing patched clothes, she is very contented.

"Why didn't you make new clothes yourself?" Kang Jing put on new clothes and looked particularly beautiful.

"I always hang around the pot, and I can't look good in new clothes. I look good now!" Xiaolan patted her patched clothes.

"I knew you weren't willing to make new clothes for yourself!" Kang Jing said as she took out a new set of red clothes from her bag.

"Put it on and let me see!" Kang Jing handed the clothes to Xiaolan.

"You are buying ready-made clothes. Our supply and marketing cooperative does not have them. You bought them from Xideng, right? How much will they cost? Do you think you can return them? Return the clothes and keep the money for your schooling!"

Xiaolan waved her hands repeatedly.

"Look what you said, I bought this specially for you, can I return it? If you don't want it, I'll cut it off! I'm telling you, there are only a few of these red clothes in the whole department store. You will definitely wear them.

It looks so good! Hurry up and put it on!" Kang Jing said while taking off Xiaolan's coat.

"I'm from a rural area, and wearing this red is too eye-catching, so I'd better not wear it!" Xiao Lan felt a little embarrassed.

"Auntie, please put it on, it will definitely look good!" Dazhi looked at Xiaolan expectantly.

"Auntie, wear new clothes!" Xiaoyu also shouted.

Xiaolan put on new clothes under Kang Jing's supervision. Dazhi looked at Xiaolan intently and said loudly: "Auntie, you are so beautiful! When I grow up, I will find a wife like you!"

Tong Yan Wuji, Dazhi's words aroused laughter, and even Xiao Hong, who was wearing new clothes for Xiao Song, gave a rare smile.

"Come and take a look in the mirror, you're so excited!" Kang Jing praised sincerely.

Xiaolan came to the mirror with a blushing face and looked up and down. Xiaolan in the mirror was neither fat nor thin, her belly was slightly bulging, and she had a delicate face that looked like rouge against the red clothes. Her facial features were well-proportioned and delicate, and she looked lifelike.

Take off your beauty look.

Xiaolan likes this red dress so much. In the era when blue and green are the main themes, wearing this red dress and walking into the white snow, the touch of red in the white snow is definitely the most beautiful painting!

"I bought a set for Lao Qi for you. I won't give him his clothes for free. When you have money, you must pay me back!" Kang Jing spoke very measuredly.

"He's been fooling around and hasn't come back yet. I don't care about him!" Xiaolan got angry when she mentioned Tiger Lao Qi.

"If you can't clap, I've thought about it. You two are at odds, and there's something wrong with Lao Qi. But think about it, is there something wrong with you?" Kang Jing said.

"What's wrong with me? I have no regrets!" Xiaolan didn't think she had any problem.

"Just think about it, Yang Xiangwen has already misunderstood, isn't it normal for Lao Qi to misunderstand?" Kang Jing directly said the key to the problem.

When Xiaolan heard this, she thought about it carefully and said nothing.

At this time, Hu Laoqi, who had not slept all night, was still placing bets in the Pai Gow venue. His eyes were bloodshot. He looked at the cards in his hand and threw them on the table with a curse.

"Tao San, if you lend me another ten yuan, I don't believe I can't win!" Hu Laoqi said to Tao San.

Tao San looked at Li Dabi, the person in charge of the game. Li Dabi nodded slightly and stretched out a finger without revealing any trace.

"Lao Qi, I only have the last ten yuan left. This is the last time. If you lose, stop playing!" Tao San said while taking out the money.

"Okay! When I win, I'll pay you back together!" Hu Laoqi promised.
