"Xiao Yong, why do you ask that? Aren't we Xiaodong's parents?" said Wei Xiaodong's mother. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"But you look really young now!" Daniel Zhang said.
"Really, thank you, Xiao Yong, don't leave for a while, eat at my house!" Wei Xiaodong's mother happily went to cook.
"Xiaodong really thanks you this time! If it weren't for you, I might not have gotten this job. Daniel Zhang said everything in his heart.
"The two of us really don't have to be polite, by the way, did your mother have a headache again?" Wei Xiaodong asked.
"I haven't done it, and it's strange that you say that a small white radish can cure a headache. Daniel Zhang said.
"Xiaodong, let's play chess in a while, it seems like we haven't played it for a long time. Daniel Zhang said.
"Then you don't have to go to work today?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"Because the beauty potion you have is good, Mrs. Li will give me a few days off so that I can have a good rest. Wages are paid. Daniel Zhang said happily.
"Do you think time flies?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"It's very fast, I think when a child hasn't played enough, he will become an adult in a blink of an eye. Daniel Zhang said.
"yes! Time flies. Sometimes it may not be a good thing to think that people are too attached in this life. Wei Xiaodong said with all his thoughts.
"Xiaodong, I don't understand what you said, what is too persistent, I think you are good at everything, but it is not good at all, that is, it is a little too old-fashioned. Isn't it good for people to be happy in life? Isn't there a saying that life is short? Isn't it good to look at things better?" Daniel Zhang said.
"However, I don't think it's the same thing as struggle, and it doesn't conflict. People have this life, at least now, if they don't work hard, then what's the point of living?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"Forget it, you are more knowledgeable than me, I can't talk about you, don't talk about it. Let's go, let's eat! I'll eat at your house today. Daniel Zhang said.
"The meal is ready, Xiao Yong, Xiaodong is here to eat. Wei Xiaodong's mother said.
"This dish is so delicious, I will come back again when I have the chance. Daniel Zhang said.
"Eat more, and when you're done, you'll play together and play chess. Xiaodong, you also relax, you see that you are busy all day. It's not good to be too nervous. Scatter your mind, and you will be more energetic in doing things. Wei Xiaodong's mother said.
"Okay, I'll play chess in a while, I won't do anything else, maybe it will be better to relax and the effect will be better!" Wei Xiaodong said.
"Xiao Yong, I remember your chess very well, you are very Xiaodong playing chess, it is estimated that Xiaodong rarely wins!" Wei Xiaodong's father said.
"That's what Xiaodong asked me, not my chess game. Daniel Zhang said.
"Okay, don't be modest, I'm a stinky chess basket, I know how many pounds and taels I have. Wei Xiaodong said self-deprecatingly.
"Hurry up and eat! The food will be cold in a moment. Let's talk about it after eating. You see my memory, I forgot to bring you a bottle of wine. Wei Xiaodong's father said.
"No need uncle, we will not drink when we have to play chess in a while. Let's drink it next time!" Daniel Zhang said.
Wei Xiaodong and Daniel Zhang had dinner. I went to Wei Xiaodong's house. Although there is no air conditioning in the house, it is not very hot, and the temperature inside the house is different from the outside of the house!
The two of them set up the chess.
"I'll go first. Wei Xiaodong said.
"Have you ever heard of a saying that chess is like life? Daniel Zhang said.
"Of course, it's just that you are playing this game of chess with yourself. Or that you are under the control of your own fate. Wei Xiaodong said.
"When I was young, how fun it was! This one grew up, it was really not fun, so many things, if it didn't grow up, it would be much better!" Daniel Zhang said.
"That's impossible. People have to do things, otherwise, you will be annoyed to death, and I will use one as a cannon. Wei Xiaodong said.
"I used to pick the horse every time, but this time I'm going to change the trick, I'm on the elephant. Daniel Zhang said.
"I'm a little unaccustomed to you walking like this all of a sudden. If I beat your soldiers, you won't lose it. Wei Xiaodong said.
"Then you can try it. See how it ends in the end?" Daniel Zhang said confidently.
"Let me think about it, I remember there is a saying that you should first set the game, and then try to forge ahead. You walk like this, which kind of means it. Wei Xiaodong said.
"I don't know what you mean, it's a trick I learned from someone else. If you come over, you will take advantage of it on the surface, but as soon as my chess pieces come up, you will be passive everywhere. Daniel Zhang said.
"Let me think about it. In fact, this also shows a truth, people can't be too eager for quick success. If it's too much of a rush. It's not a good thing. This has been very useful to me. Although, I'll use the opportunity now, but maybe it would be better if I waited?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"Are you telling me, or are you talking to yourself?" Daniel Zhang said.
"Half and half, it's usually for you, it's generally for yourself. Actually, now that I think about it, the reason why I lost so badly in chess was because I only looked at the move I took every time I played chess, and I didn't look too much at it. You are taking at least three steps to take one step, so you always win. Wei Xiaodong said.
"You finally understand, I heard the old man say that it is better to lose a son than to lose a first. So, my purpose is to be a general, and the others can sometimes be abandoned. Daniel Zhang said.
"That's a good point! Life is like chess, and chess is like life. There are many truths in the world that are the same. Yes, yes, yes, the truth is the same. Wei Xiaodong seemed to understand something. The last sentence was repeated over and over again.
"You're going to lose this game, you're too distracted!" Daniel Zhang said.
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose in chess, as long as it's a game of chess in life, it's good not to lose. In this life, as long as you dare to think and dare to do, there are infinite possibilities. I firmly believe that. I'm going to do it all the time. In this life, I definitely live a wonderful life. Wei Xiaodong said.
"Yes, that's where you're better than me, although I can see a few moves in chess, but I'm a bit short-sighted in terms of doing things, and I'm too unlucky. Daniel Zhang said.
"There is a saying that character is fate, in fact, this is inseparable from your character, for you, I have some opinions, you think about it, what do you do is what you recognize before you do it. Wei Xiaodong said.
Daniel Zhang thought for a while and said, "There really isn't anything I think about and then do." I listened to other people's words when I went to learn to repair motorcycles, but after studying for almost a year, I suddenly gave up, and then I wanted to do something else, I just did a little bit of everything, and then gave up. Now that I think about it, it's like this. Daniel Zhang said.
"However, now I want to repair the machine in the factory of Li Shoufu, but I want to do it myself. Daniel Zhang said.
"So, I said do it well, but Li Shoufu won't think about it for you, I will, wait until I get a firm foothold outside. You come to help me, and we will fight the world together. Wei Xiaodong said.
"It's exciting to listen to. Don't worry, I'll definitely go. Daniel Zhang said.
"One more thing, it turns out that our junior high school classmate Shi Lotus Ye is getting along with you now? I heard Shao Qiang mention it, how is it now?" Daniel Zhang asked.
"She's a nice person, and I'm quite impressed. However, she wouldn't let me go out and let me stay at home, which I didn't agree with. Wei Xiaodong said.
"And then?" Daniel Zhang asked eagerly.
"No then, that's the end of it. Wei Xiaodong said.
"Because there is no beginning, there is actually no end. Now let's make it clear that it will hurt everyone the least, and if you wait for a long time, it will hurt people's hearts even more. Wei Xiaodong continued.
"I have a feeling that you can't cross the word love in your life. You are a person who values love and righteousness, although this is your advantage, but sometimes it is also your biggest burden!" Daniel Zhang said.
"I know, but I don't want to be a heartless person, because I think it's too painful. It's not my purpose in life. I will try to help those I can help in the future. Although, I may be tired in this way, but I have no regrets. Wei Xiaodong said firmly.
"It's really nice to talk so much today! It's been a long time since I've talked to someone like this. Comfortable. It's so comfortable. It's more comfortable than drinking. Wei Xiaodong said again.
"What about you, do you have a favorite girl?" asked Wei Xiaodong.
"Of course there is, but my parents don't agree, and I'm also very distressed!" Daniel Zhang said.
"Your weakness is that you listen to your parents too much, I dare to give you such a prediction, you will definitely not be able to get along with the person you like in the end, you will listen to your parents. Wei Xiaodong said.
"I think so, I don't want to upset my parents. They are also well-intentioned. It's right to listen to your parents. Daniel Zhang said.
"However, you have no ego, what you do is what your parents asked you to do, do you think you are worthy of yourself?" Wei Xiaodong asked.
"That's the kind of person I am. I don't want to change, just like you. I don't want to change. Daniel Zhang said.
"Okay, as long as you don't regret it. People are like this for a lifetime, and the most important thing is not to regret it. Wei Xiaodong said firmly.
"I will not let myself regret doing things in the future. Wei Xiaodong said to himself.
"I'm not going to make my parents feel bad, and even if it makes me uncomfortable, I'm going to do that. I can't make them uncomfortable. Daniel Zhang said.
"It's really nice to be nice to be nice. I admire you. It seems that whatever you want to do in the future, just tell your parents. They told you to do it, and you're going to do it, right?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"You can say that!" Daniel Zhang said.
"Life is like chess, chess is like life!" Wei Xiaodong said with emotion.
