    Short Story: Big Brother

    “What is this?”

    It was another rare gathering of six people. Yue Yuanao flipped through a deck of playing cards in Du Dongcui’s study and asked curiously.

    Du Dongcui, who was reading a book, raised his head and looked at the old paper and whitish patterns of the playing cards. Thinking of the high spirits he had when he learned to play cards, he smiled and said, “This is poker, similar to mahjong and chess. Come on, I’ll teach you how to play.”

    She put down her book and walked to the living room.Gu Qianqian is nestled on his favorite sofa, seemingly taking a nap, but actually he is practicing.Hu Zhenzi jumped up and down in front of the TV, waving the Xbox handle in his hand.Lang BaoBao sat at the dining table, reading medical journals on his mobile phone and testing the state management software written by Yue Yuanao on his computer. He was also able to discuss various topics with Hu Zhenzi at the same time.

    Du Fengqi is in the kitchen.Speaking of which, these men are really outrageous. When the six of them got together, they refused to go to a restaurant or order takeout. The reason was that he would only cook for her. Of course, he should seize this opportunity to have a few meals.

    How could they have never eaten what he cooked before? This made Du Fengqi, who didn’t particularly adhere to this principle, really never cook for anyone except her.

    Except for Du Fengqi, she invited them to sit at the dining table together, took the playing cards from Yue Yuanao’s hand and started shuffling them.

    “So you like to play poker?” Lang Baobao turned off the computer and mobile phone screens.

    Du Dongcui nodded, “Well, I always won at the beginning, which gave me a sense of accomplishment. I was enthusiastic about it for a while.”

    “Which one to play?”

    “Big dick.”

    Du Dongcui, who was shuffling the cards with his head lowered, noticed that all the men’s eyes were on her.

    “The name refers to the fact that the biggest card in the game is two! You are not allowed to say anything more!”

    It’s a pity that her little threat can’t control Yue Yuan’ao and Hu Zhenzi’s bad words.

    “You like to play with the big dick…” Hu Zhenzi glanced at Du Dongcui up and down mischievously.

    “Well, that’s actually right.” Yue Yuanao nodded, he didn’t say anything more!

    Du Dongcui glared at the two of them, and after dealing the cards to the four people, he showed the cards and placed them on the table, and began to teach the rules, “Clubs are the smallest, then diamonds, and the largest is spades. Three is the smallest, and two is the largest. To put it simply, this is a game where whoever gets the bigger card and can reveal all the cards the fastest wins, but the skill of playing the cards can also determine the outcome.”

    She pointed to the cards in front of Yue Yuanao and said, “Yue took the three of clubs, and he was the first person to play the card. At this time, heIt depends on how many cards can come out at most, preferably five, a full house or a straight. A full house means three identical cards paired with two identical ones, and a straight refers to consecutive numbers like three, four, five, six, seven. If you don’t get five cards, you can just play two. For example, a card like the moon can only produce a pair of three. The worst combination is to play out one by one.In this way, the number of cards played increases and the probability of winning the top spot becomes lower.”

    As she was talking, she slowly noticed that the four men were unusually quiet, and asked strangely: “What, what’s wrong?”

    “You not only explain the rules, but you also have great tips on winning cards.” Gu Qianqian patted her head.

    Du Dongcui smiled, “I study numbers! I started playing when I was six years old! Unless my poker luck is really bad, not many adults can beat me.”

    She demonstrated three more times, and then dealt the cards to the four men to start a fight. She sat beside her and held her chin up to watch the fun.

    Hu Zhenzi clearly had a K-house in his hand that could defeat Wolf Baobao’s J-house, but he passed and planned to wait until the next round. Unexpectedly, Lang Baobao won. He sighed, “If you don’t take advantage of the opportunity, you will lose completely!”

    In the second round, Gu Qianqian held the two of spades, the largest card in the hand. As long as he played this card and pushed everyone to pass, he won by throwing out the last four, but everyone was playing a pair. Until the wolf threw out the last pair and won the card, Gu Qianyan couldn’t play the big two in his hand. He couldn’t help but exhale, “Even if he has an ace in his hand, he can’t win if the situation doesn’t cooperate!”

    In the third round, it was Yue Yuanao’s turn to be proud. The last card in he’s hand was the King of Spades, which was a guaranteed win. However, Hu Zhenzi on the opposite side played out five cards at once and two at a time. When everyone was left with a single card to play, Hu Zhenzi played a three of diamonds, and Wolf threw the last three of hearts in his hand, winning again!

    Yue Yuanao, who was ranked last in the order of playing cards, glared at Hu Zhenzi angrily, “It’s useless to strive for success. The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits!”

    The four of them looked at the playing cards on the table in silence, and then started playing cards seriously.Du Dongcui was swaying with laughter at the side. These men could start talking about the art of war, state affairs, and even enlightenment while playing cards!

    At this time, Du Fengqi shouted, and everyone put down their fighting, cleared the table, served the dishes, arranged the bowls and chopsticks, and had a wonderful dinner.

    After the meal, everyone cleared the table together, the playing cards were taken out again, and washing the dishes was used as a bet.This game is most suitable for four people, so they decided to win two out of three games. Unexpectedly, Du Fengqi played well. After one round of playing, Hu Zhenzi and Yue Yuanao were washing the dishes.

    The two of them finished washing the dishes, wiped their hands and walked out with the intention of making a comeback. Yue Yuanao was more alert and asked one more question, “This is the first time Hu Zhenzi and I have come into contact with this game. Is there any trick we don’t know?”

    Du Dongcui was kind-hearted and explained: “There are only fifty-two cards. Keep track of the cards! I can probably remember whether some of the big cards have been played or not. You can remember all the cards in the whole deck of cards that have been played and which ones have not been played, right? In this way, you will know very clearly whether the cards in your hand can be used against others after they are played out.”

    The two of them suddenly realized that after the war started again, it became increasingly difficult for Du Dongcui to win, while the others lost and won. After all, in addition to their card skills, they also had to gamble on their luck.”Would you like to bet something?” Wolf suggested.

    Du Dongcui looked at he, paused for two seconds, then smiled and shook his head, “No.”

    Lang Baobao looked at Yue Yuanao, who was about to speak when Du Dongcui said again: “Don’t bet on me!”

    “Then let’s gamble!” Wolf Baobao suggested again.

    In the next five times, the wolf storm always won three times, and the others lost all their money and silver.

    “Do you still want to play?” Wolf asked violently.

    “You want to run away even if you win! If you don’t have money, you’ll bet on corvées, and the loser will do errands for the winner!” Hu Zhenzi sounded like a bad gambler.

    Although Yue Yuanao didn’t make a sound, he sat firmly.

    Gu Qianqian and Du Fengqi smiled and said they were done with it, leaving the three of them to fight alone.

    Time passed in annoyance and screams. It was not until Yue Yuanao and Hu Zhenzi lost for five years and one lost for ten years that Du Dongcui, who had gone to the study to read, ran out to stop them from continuing to gamble.

    “You two, don’t be a wolf, you can’t win against he. The first few times he lost, only once or twice he really got bad cards. The rest were just pretending to lose on purpose, so that you would bet with him.” Moreover, Wolf Baobao has been merciful, otherwise one person may have lost for fifty years, and the other person may have lost for a hundred years!

    Yue Yuanao was stunned, “What other tips are there?”

    Du Dongcui gave Wolf a sideways glance, “Usually when we play cards, the loser shuffles the cards, but Young Master Lang always naturally takes over the task of shuffling the cards… I guess you are secretly happy when you see him doing it, right?”

    “Isn’t shuffling the cards just shuffling the cards?” Hu Zhenzi asked innocently.

    As he said this, Lang Baobao dealt out cards to four people again, with thirteen cards for each person. He spread out his own deck, and he didn’t even have to worry about the order. It was a dragon from A to K, or a spade flush!

    Yue Yuanao and Hu Zhenzi beat their chests and beat their chests. It turned out that the secret was that they didn’t expect to be cheating!

    “That’s not right!” Hu Zhenzi, who was outspoken and outspoken, wondered, “Is Mr. Lang such a merciless person? Why didn’t you take advantage of the chaos and increase the stakes to win fifty or a hundred years?” Du Dongcui was also puzzled.

    The proud smile on Lang Bao Bao’s lips faded a bit, and he looked at Gu Qianqian, who was lying lazily on the sofa.

    If Lang Bao Bao is the god of gambling, he has been the gambling saint for thousands of years. Does he have special powers compared to cheating?He can get the biggest card every time by using this spell.In ancient times, this big brother must have secretly warned Lang Bao Bao not to go too far with a look or expression.

    Du Dongcui burst out laughing.

    Later, Du Dongcui discovered that Lang Baobao cleverly used the “corvee years” he won this time to transfer Hu Zhenzi and Yue Yuan’ao to do errands, reducing the time they spend with her, which is equivalent to gambling with “she” in disguise!However, this is all a story for another day.
