Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 157 Riddle
A Yao and the doctor had a quarrel over whether a machine or a human referee is better. A Yao firmly believed that human referees were in line with the development of football. In the end, he and the doctor parted unhappily and left without even seeing the patient. Kang Qirui couldn't stop him, so Lao Dou had no choice but to apologize to the doctor and followed Kang Qirui to the parking lot. When they left, the doctor was still shouting something like "relapse every four years", which was really difficult for him.

After they went home, A Yao went back to his room with an angry look on his face. Kang Qirui ignored him and went back to his room to play with his daughter after washing his hands. After Kang Siqi was born, he basically spent all his time around Zhu Wanling and Kang Siqi, except for work. Mrs. Zhu was no longer able to compete with him. As long as he was at home, Kang Siqi would definitely stick to him.

On June 6, after dinner, A-Zu took the remote control and tried to change the channel. He tried again and again but couldn't find the sports channel. He asked in confusion: "Second brother, where is our sports channel? The semi-finals will start in a few minutes."

The second brother was also stunned for a moment, and then he sat up straight from his slumped position and said, "Huh? Is there no signal? Adjust it."

A-Zu looked at Er Lao as if he were a fool and said speechlessly, "How could it be a signal problem? All the cable channels are gone. It must be because they didn't pay and their service was suspended."

The second brother looked at me like a fool and said loudly, "Do you have a brain? Cable TV subscriptions are paid annually. It's only a certain month now. How can you be in arrears?"

"Have you seen the sports newspaper?" A Yao had been looking for the newspaper everywhere, ignoring the quarrel between Er Lao and A Zu. He found that the sports section on the newspaper was gone.

"No." Kang Qirui shook his head.

Ah Zu thought for a moment and said, "I see. It must be that Dad knew that Ah San had the aftereffects of the World Cup, so he didn't allow him to watch anything related to sports."

"Oh, so that's how it is, you are such a bad apple." Er Lao pointed at A Yao and blamed him, "It's fine if you are sick, it's fine if you are sick, but you also made it so that we can't get any treatment."

A Yao spread his hands and said, "You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame the referee. If he had made a fair decision, I wouldn't have behaved like that that day, and my father wouldn't have taken me to see a doctor." He was afraid of arousing public anger, so he quickly passed the blame on to others.

"I know what happened." The second brother looked carefully, then ran behind the TV, pulled out the antenna, and said angrily: "Look, Dad cut off the antenna."

"No way? How can dad do this? He doesn't allow me to watch sports, but everyone else has to watch TV dramas." A Yao felt that dad's one-size-fits-all approach was indeed a bit harsh.

"It's okay, I have a way." A-Zu's antenna could be connected even without a connector. He took the antenna and bit off the outer rubber with his mouth. This operation stunned Kang Qirui.

After A-Zu plugged in, "OK, there's a signal." Er Lao and the others shouted excitedly, and A-Zu let go and planned to sit back and watch. As a result, as soon as he let go, there was no signal again. "Don't move, why did you come back? Hurry up and connect it."

"No way? You're doing this to me?" A Zu's face was a little bitter. He had been used as an antenna to receive signals before, and now it's happening again. Kang Qirui shook his head and said, "We brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time. Let's go. I'll treat you to go out for a drink and watch the game."

A-Zu was the first to nod and agree. He could watch the game and drink, and most importantly, he didn't have to be a human antenna. Er Lao and A Yao followed closely behind, and Er Lao didn't forget to call on Da Lao Guang. After leaving the house, A-Zu found that everyone had walked to the street corner. Kang Qirui didn't show any intention of driving yet, so he asked, "Ah Rui, don't you want to drive?"

"Don't you want to drink with me?" Kang Qirui was speechless.

A-Zu also reacted and said awkwardly: "Haha, I'm too excited."

That night, the South Korean team was finally eliminated. The German team defeated the South Korean team, which was considered evil by the fans, 1-0. The atmosphere in the bar was suddenly excited. In this excited atmosphere, the five brothers of the Kang family drank too much and didn't return to the Kang family until after o'clock in the middle of the night. When the old man opened the door, his face was black.

It was already past three in the afternoon when Kang Qirui got up. "You're up, you have a headache?" Zhu Wanling saw that Kang Qirui had been frowning since he woke up, so she started to scold him, "You're such a fool. If you want to drink, just drink. Why don't you come back in the morning? Just wait and see how the master will deal with you tonight."

Kang Qirui didn't care about this at all. After yesterday's game, there were only three games left, and the results of all the previous games were exactly the same as in his previous life. Although there were a few games with the same win-loss relationship but different scores, he didn't think that the results had changed, but that he remembered it wrong. Now there are only three games left. No matter what the result is, he has already made a lot of money, and all of them were bought at the sports lottery store, which is completely legal income.

Sure enough, during dinner, Daddy said that we would have a meeting after dinner, and then he stopped talking, but his face was really dark. Everyone didn't dare to neglect it, and quickly finished dinner, and held the first collective meeting of the Kang family in 2002 in the living room. Daddy gave a speech: "Now our family has the sequelae of the World Cup, and some people, I won't name them, are deeply poisoned. In view of the situation at home, I am ready to rescue you from this football maze."

"Dad, it's prime time now, the game is about to start." After getting up today, the first thing A Yao did was to go out and buy an antenna connector and fix the antenna. Dad originally wanted to cut it, but was stopped by his second sister-in-law, who still had to watch TV series.

"No, you can't watch it tonight. I'm going to organize a family entertainment activity to change things up." The old man pointed at Xianglan and continued, "Sister-in-law, start."

Xianglan stood up and said a little nervously, "I'm following Dad's request and giving everyone a riddle to guess." Everyone immediately became excited and clamored that they didn't want to participate. Dad was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "So many opinions? If I ask you to participate, then just participate. Sister-in-law, continue."

"Everyone listen carefully: upper half, lower half, and there is a line in the middle that can rotate freely." Xianglan gave the riddle.

A Yao said impatiently: "Football."

Xianglan shook her head, "No, it's not the football, it's the earth."

Ah Yao was not convinced. How could a college student like him be stumped by a junior high school student like Xianglan? He made a gesture like a soccer ball and said, "They are all round, and half on top and half on the bottom."

“But there is no line in the middle.” Xianglan replied.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop arguing. I thought of something fun. A hemp house with a red tent, and a fat white man sleeping inside. Guess what food." Sachiko stopped Ayao and Xianglan from arguing, and quickly came up with a new question to divert attention.

A-Zu frowned and asked in confusion: "No way? The fat white guy is a person, not food." The second brother also agreed: "That's right, it's Schlapner." Schlapner, the former head coach of the Chinese national football team.

"Oh, why haven't you guessed it after all this talk? Forget it, I'll tell you, the answer is peanuts." Sachiko suddenly felt bored and announced the answer directly.

The old man waved his hand and continued to preside over the meeting: "Second sister-in-law, you come."

"He sits in Taichung with a load on his shoulders. He treats people fairly and never does anything biased. Everyone praises him for being fair." The second sister-in-law took out a riddle book and began to read.

Everyone scratched their heads, wondering what the answer was. Kang Qirui didn't care at all. He hugged Kang Siqi and teased her. And A Yao responded, "I only know that there are many unfair things in the world."

"Okay, okay, since you don't want to play riddles, then let's play the second program, couplets. I'll give the first line, and you guys give the second line." Lao Dou waved his hand and decided to do it himself, "Everyone listen, Nantongzhou, Beitongzhou, and the south and north are all Tongzhou."

It was A Yao again, who said immediately: "I got it, you fake it and I fake it, you and I both fake it."

A-Zu also got an idea, "Real black whistle, fake black whistle, real and fake, both are black whistles."

Da Lao Guang, who had not spoken a word during the whole process, quietly asked A Yao to teach him a sentence. After A Yao whispered it in his ear, Da Lao Guang excitedly said: "Dad, I can do it too. League A, League B, and League AB are all leagues."

My father slammed the table for the second time tonight. "How many times have I told you that you must talk about football? Can't we talk about so many things?"

At this time, Kang Qirui also began to persuade his father, "Dad, it's just football, it's not a big deal, why make such a fuss. Playing football can also exercise your body, it's much better than those weird hobbies. Besides, the World Cup only happens once every four years, it's okay for them and us to have some fun, right? After the World Cup is over, we will return to normal."

The mother also advised: "Forget it, Uncle, it's not a bad thing. A Rui is right, football is still a sport after all, and it's good to exercise your body."

In fact, it is good for fans that this World Cup is held in Asia. If it were held in Europe, you would have to get up in the middle of the night to watch the game, which is the real aftereffect of the World Cup. You sit in front of the TV in the middle of the night with great interest, and the game starts. After a round of cheering or angry roars, you look closely and find that it is already five or six in the morning. The alarm clock rings as expected, and you turn it off. Can you still work hard after getting up tired?

When you watch football games, your days and nights are reversed, your daily routine is messed up, and your work is listless and out of balance.
This year, it's right next door. Take Kang Qirui for example. He came home from get off work and had dinner just when the game started. After watching the game, he took a shower and it was only ten o'clock. He was still able to maintain the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. So he thinks the aftereffects of this World Cup are very low in harm to fans, and there is no need for the old man to make a fuss. It's something that happens once every four years, so what if everyone is happy? This is also the reason why he invited everyone out for a drink and watching the game yesterday.

The class only lasts four years. It would be such a pity if you can't wait for four years to see it.
