"Hey, buddies! Happy New Year's Day! The end of the world is far away from us, a new year has just begun, buddies, happiness and peace to you all!"

  Thanks to Xiao Jingchen's blessing, the Bai family had another New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. However, it's unknown whether it was because they ate too much greasy food at noon and didn't exercise enough in the afternoon, so everyone's appetite wasn't as good as at noon. Only Xiao Jingchen was eating very happily, and the young people couldn't help but have a black line on their faces. It's said that almost all the snacks from the supermarket were stuffed into the dog's belly in the afternoon!

  Although the New Year's atmosphere in the city is not as strong as that in rural areas, the traditional custom of staying up late on New Year's Eve has been preserved. The whole family sits together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, laughing and making noise, which is a deeply rooted memory in my mind. Unfortunately, nowadays, the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse and worse, watching it has become more of a formality, and people have developed more and more ways to kill time.

  The home theater room is slightly larger than the main living room, no way, too many and too large equipment.

  On either side of the large sofa, an automatic mahjong table was placed. Granny Bai led three daughters-in-law at one table, and four brothers with names containing the character "Jing" sat at another: Big Brother Bai Xuchen, Second Brother Bai Xichen, Third Brother Bai Weichen, and Fourth Brother Bai Zechen. Additionally, Da Shan and Xiao Shan each held a laptop and sat cross-legged on the plush carpeted floor in a circle, forming a team to brush BOSS.

  Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi dragged Bai Luo Chen to play poker with Xiao Jingchen. Although Bai Luo Chen looked disgusted and unwilling, he was the most enthusiastic when playing.

  So, the only one in the family who was really watching TV for the Spring Festival Gala was Grandpa Bai, who had a poker face. He sat on the sofa with his arms crossed, but his eyes were not on the TV at all, instead he slightly looked down, and Xiao Jing was leaning against the sofa, studying the cards in her hand with a serious expression while holding a reference card.

  The little guy didn't recognize Arabic numerals, and couldn't understand the JQKA on poker cards. Bai Xi Jing kindly wrote a comparison card for her, with Chinese characters "壹贰叁肆伍陆柒捌玖拾" below corresponding to "A234567910", and "JQK" above written as "拾壹拾贰拾叁". The service was so thoughtful and considerate. Unfortunately, it seemed that Xiao Jingzi really didn't have any talent for gambling, and soon her face was covered with small paper notes, looking like a silly cat with a towel hanging from its chin.

  A long time.

  "A J."

  "Two One"

  Bai Luo Chen killed two tiles, the small six and the small seven. He smiled with satisfaction, his face gleaming with delight, just as he was about to continue playing cards. Xiao Jingchen took a look at the reference card, excitedly shouting "One three."

  Bai Luo Chen: "......" His face was covered in dark veins and he gritted his teeth, "How can a Three like you control a Two like me, you bastard."

  Three is bigger than two.

  "But in poker it's the smallest damn thing."

  Xiao Jingchen: *silence*, pouting, reluctantly took back the small three, innocently staring at Bai Luochen who was furiously angry. Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi covered their mouths and giggled, it seems that little sister is indeed the nemesis of fifth brother! Haha, watching them compete in wits and bravery (?!), it's more interesting than playing poker itself.

  Bai Luo Chen took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and glared at the small Jingchen in front of him before continuing, "One against three."

  "One to four."

  "One to six."

  All three brothers had played their cards, and it was Xiao Jingchen's turn. She puffed out her cheeks, looking like a serious old scholar, comparing the cards in her hand to those on the table. Suddenly, Xiao Jingchen's eyes lit up, "A pair of eights."

  "Cough...!" Grandpa Bai suddenly let out a loud cough that almost made him spit up his lungs.

  Xiao Jing dust's subconscious head turned to look at Grandpa Bai, Grandpa Bai's eyes were wide open like copper bells, his face full of disapproval. You idiot, there are clearly four eights that can be used as a bomb, why did you dismantle it? Didn't you see that having two sevens is redundant?!

  Little Jing's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and in this moment, she somehow connected with Grandpa Bai. She moved her paws away from the 8 and towards the 9, her big eyes fixed on Grandpa Bai. Seeing him cough again, she quickly let go of the 9 and moved to the 10. Grandpa Bai's face suddenly turned very ugly. Little Jing's chubby cheeks felt like she had made a wrong move, which was why Grandpa was getting angrier. So, the little guy moved her paws back to the other side of the 8...

  The old man was completely speechless, the silly child's cards were all over the place, neither sorted by size nor grouped together, this wasn't even a game of competing for the top spot, it was simply playing with building blocks. The old man couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he sat down on the ground, pulled Little Jing into his arms, took the cards from her paws and rearranged them all over again.

  Grandpa Bai: "......" He still underestimated Little Sun's talent!

  He cast a chilly glance at the other three grandsons, and Grandpa Bai slightly narrowed his eyes. When he made this non-committal gesture, it meant that his mood was extremely good or extremely bad - "One against two."

  "Cough...". This time it's the three little ones who are coughing. How did they suddenly play to such a big extent?

  The three young men shook their heads simultaneously, indicating they couldn't afford it.

  Grandpa Bai's eyes narrowed in delight, "Three threes, three fours, three fives, three sixes, and four pairs."

  Three little kids: "......" Dumbfounded!!

  Old White threw away all the cards in his hand with satisfaction, "Five eights!" One of the eights was dressed up as a big devil.

  I'm going crazy!

  Bai Luo Chen: "......" Stunned speechless!

  Bai Xuechen: "......" was dumbfounded!

  Bai Ze Chen: "......" Dumbstruck!

  Is that it?

  Although not quite understanding how Grandfather White suddenly threw away all the cards, Xiao Jingchen at least understood that this represented their victory. So, she happily crawled out of Grandfather White's arms, pulled off the small paper strip on her face, licked it with her tongue, and then "pia~" stuck it right in the middle of Bai Luo Chen's forehead.

  Bai Luo Chen: "......" The card hasn't been played yet, he isn't necessarily the lowest one, just stick to him!

  A limp strip of paper floated on his upturned nose, looking like a small zombie that had been petrified in place. Xia Liu and Xia Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing at the sight, their laughter attracting the attention of two tables of mahjong players. Everyone who saw Bai Luo Chen's new look couldn't help but laugh.

  In the end, Bai Luo Chen indeed lost, and the zombie didn't get it undeservedly.

  A new round begins, Xiao Jingchen doesn't look at the cards and just grabs them, stacking the poker cards neatly in her hand. After grabbing them, she opens up her grandfather's paw and stuffs the cards into it. Then, she tilts her head with a curved eyebrow and smiles, revealing two dimples on her cheeks. Behind her, it seems like there is a fluffy tail wagging back and forth, selling cuteness.

  Grandpa White stared expressionlessly at his little granddaughter, who was laughing more brightly than a spring flower. His facial lines were rigid and stern, then he slightly raised an eyebrow and looked up at the three little grandsons. The three boys shuddered in unison, their body hair standing on end, with a very... not-so-good... feeling!
