Travel memories - falling into the gambling trap in Shenyang

In January 1989, the factory party and mass organization was reorganized, the Youth League Committee was abolished as a permanent institution, and I was placed in the factory office as an administrative secretary as a diversionary personnel, and at the same time managed the work of the regiment. Not long after arriving in office, he received a work task - to go to Shenyang with the colleague in charge of telephone maintenance in the switchboard class to pick up the program-controlled telephone equipment. The truck in charge of transportation had already arrived in Shenyang first, and my colleague from the switchboard flight and I were taking a long-distance bus. This guy from the switchboard was a little older than me, had been a soldier, and was a kind of "social person" in my eyes. At that time, the long-distance bus from Chaoyang to Shenyang took six or seven hours to walk, and it was already dark when we arrived in Shenyang.

Guess the Peach A scam

Our factory basically stayed in the Shenyang Military Region Air Force Guest House to do business, one is because it is cheap, and the other is that it is opened by the troops, which is relatively safe. I was getting up in the morning to wash up, the door was open, and a person who was supposed to be a guest passed in front of the door, and the probe came in to ask if there was a fire, and at the same time shook the cigarette in his hand. My colleague, who is a smoker, enthusiastically handed over matches. Naturally, the visitor handed my colleague a cigarette, and the two of them began to talk while smoking a cigarette, and when they said that, they went into the room and sat down. Before A cigarette was finished, someone pulled out a deck of playing cards and asked the two of us if we could play poker. I've never had much interest in playing mahjong, chess, poker, etc., especially in the face of a stranger. But my "social" colleague immediately came to interest and asked how to play. From the playing cards, the visitor finds the A of Spades, plum A and The A of The Red On the bed, changes positions a few times, and then asks us both to guess which one is the A of the Peaches. The two of us followed suit, about half right or wrong, but interest seemed to have been mobilized by him. At this time, the person who came to ask whether to come to some money, otherwise it was not interesting. I looked at my colleague and he motioned for me to pay for it. It took less than ten minutes, and more than a hundred yuan of business trips installed on me went into the pockets of the people. At that moment, my mind was blank, a little overwhelmed, because one hundred yuan was almost my monthly salary! The colleague's "social person" attribute played a little role at this time, and he forced the visitor to return twenty yuan, which was a lunch saved for both of us.

When returning by truck in the factory, the driver master who went south and north laughed after hearing what happened to the two of us, saying that this kind of thing is often encountered, and we both have too little knowledge. At night, I spent the night in the North Ticket Pot Camp, lying on the earthen kang, and almost did not sleep all night. This "gambling debt" of more than eighty yuan was repaid by my colleagues and I for several months.
