The old man is obviously well versed in chess, even if there are only five chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him, the old man can still look at it with fascination.

The old man is not looking at chess, but life!

After staring at the chessboard for a long time, the old man smiled helplessly.

Then he picked up the teacup next to him, which was no longer hot, and took a sip of all the tea in his stomach.

The old man's movements can be described as very rough, completely different from the quiet and comfortable appearance before.

The tea was quickly finished, and the old man put down the teacup, and then looked at the chessboard on the stone table.

Five chess pieces, the old man can look at it for so long, and I don't know what the old man thinks when he watches chess.

At this time, an old man wearing a black robe with a kind face walked out of the door of the front yard, came to the stone table, and said to the old man with a smile: "Master, Zhengping is back, saying that he wants to see you." ”

The old man raised his head slowly, glanced at the old man, but did not speak, and then set his eyes on the chessboard.

After a long time, the old man sighed, and then said, "The boss is back?" Then let him come over, it's all a family, don't be so polite. ”

"Yes!" The old man smiled and walked out slowly.

At this moment, on the other side of the door where the old man came, a tall man in military uniform was waiting.

The man was tall, handsome, energetic, in his forties, and looked a little similar to Shi Fatzi.

It's just that the guy who is a little too fat is so fat that the fat guy is a little obscene. Compared with this tall and handsome man, there is a big gap.

When the man saw the old man walking out with a smile, he immediately bent down to greet him, and shouted respectfully, "Second uncle, what did my father say?" ”

The old man, who was called the second uncle, still smiled and said: "Zhengping, you are too polite, the master is your father, if you want to see him, just go over directly, why do you call me to report every time?" The habits you developed when you were young really can't be changed by saying that you can change them. ”

The man known as Zhengping smiled and said, "When I was young, my father taught us brothers to be polite, especially at that time, my father was still in that position, and he was very busy every day, so every time he wanted to see his father, he was informed by you, second uncle."

After so many years, once this habit is formed, it is really difficult to break it, after all, it has been used to it for more than 30 years, but it is also good to do this, so as not to disturb my father's rest by our brother who dares to see him. ”

Zhengping is Shi Zhengping, the eldest son of Shi Yide, the eldest son of Shi Yide, the old man of the most special Tianzi family historian in Yanjing, and the eldest brother of Shi Fatzi.

"You, just be too polite, and it's okay to be polite to others, but you and the master are a family, and if you want to be so polite, isn't it a little too distant?

The master is old, and the family affairs are enough for him to worry about, so you should take the time to communicate more with the master, after all, you are the closest people, and you have the same blood in your body. ”

The old man was called the second uncle by Shi Zhengping, and his status in the Shi family was very high, even if he was not a member of the Shi family, this did not prevent the Shi family from respecting him.

If others spoke to Shi Zhengping in such a slightly instructive tone, he might have been unhappy a long time ago, but the old man said no, Shi Zhengping would only listen happily.

"Okay, you're going in, the master is waiting for you, remember, don't make the master angry, the lord's recent health is not very good." The old man instructed.

Hearing the old man say this, Shi Zhengping's face turned pale, and he said, "I know, second uncle, I'll pay attention." ”

After speaking, Shi Zhengping stepped directly into the backyard.

Walking outside the pavilion, as soon as Shi Zhengping saw Shi Yide, he immediately shook his spirits and showed a strong respect.

For his father, Shi Zhengping has only respect in addition to the love between relatives, and from childhood to adulthood, Shi Yide has been Shi Zhengping's idol.

"Father, I'm here." Shi Zhengping bowed his head and saluted Shi Yide and said respectfully.

Shi Yide beckoned at him and said, "Zhengping is here?" Sit, it's rare that you have time today, so accompany me to play a game of chess. ”

Shi Zhengping's face froze, he really didn't have that much time, this time he came because he had something to say.

However, thinking of what the second uncle said before, his father's health was not very good, and he should meet his requirements, so he nodded and sat down on the stool opposite the old man.

Seeing that his son really decided to play chess with him, Shi Yide was very happy.

His son, who is good everywhere, is a bit old-fashioned, usually busy, and rarely goes home, let alone has time to communicate with him as a father.

Now that Shi Zhengping can decide to accompany him in the next game of chess, Shi Yide is still very satisfied.

Put away the five pieces on the chessboard, you and I played with one hand.

Shi Yide and Shi Zhengping played chess very fast, as if they didn't need to think at all, and finally, after both of them played forty or fifty pieces, they stopped together.

"Zhengping, have you been busy with things in the military region recently? You must be tired from working a lot, right? ”

Shi Yide's eyes when he looked at Shi Zhengping were very soft, and he was full of distress.

It was the first time Shi Zhengping saw such a meaning in his father's eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.

Shi Zhengping has always been strictly in accordance with Shi Yide's requirements, in Shi Yide's view, Shi Zhengping is not satisfied with Shi Zhengping, he must do everything to the best.

So suddenly being so concerned by Shi Yide, Shi Zhengping was a little unaccustomed to it, but his heart slowly softened and calmed down.

"I have a little more work, but I'm not tired, but I can't be by my father's side often." Shi Zhengping said.

"Hehe......" Shi Yide laughed, "I Shi Yide has a total of three children in my life, you and the second child stay in the army all day long, busy non-stop, and the third child refuses to come back, I am destined to be lonely for a lifetime."

Fortunately, with your second uncle with me, the two of us usually play chess, which is funny, which is a good life, and I don't expect anything else. ”

Shi Zhengping frowned, his face was a little helpless, and said: "Father, when I am busy for this time, as long as I am busy for this time, I will definitely come back to accompany my father more often." ”

"Haha, okay, then I'll wait." Said with a smile.

However, Shi Yide knew in his heart that although his son said so, he was too busy, and he was hardly busy for a stage, and he would not be more and more idle, but only busier.

Now that the situation of the historian has reached a very critical period, as the spokesperson of the historian, Shi Zhengping is under great pressure, and at the same time, he must also set some examples.

Suddenly, Shi Yide seemed to think of something, and said: "Zhengping, it will soon be the day of the change of the Standing Committee of the Military Region, you must go further this time, no matter whether you can achieve the position of the number one leader, at least you must rush into the top three, otherwise our historian will really face a big problem." ”

Hearing his father say this, Shi Zhengping's face was a little ugly, and he said: "Yes, father, I know, I will definitely work hard to do it, this time, I must rush to the position of the number one and keep the reputation of the Shi family."

It's still my fault to say this, I didn't educate Yuhao's kid well, he ran back without making any effort, so that he delayed his previous plan, and he was really an unfilial son. ”

Shi Zhengping is of course talking about his son Shi Yuhao, after being compared to Hong Xiao that time, Shi Yuhao and Shi Fatzi talked heartily and returned to Yanjing.

Shi Yuhao, who returned to Yanjing, changed his previous style, and after explaining the affairs of Mingzhu City a little, he began this period of retreat and cultivation, and he wanted to take his strength one step further.

Moreover, Shi Yuhao said that he would not get out of the customs until he broke through to the next small realm, so let everyone not bother him.

Although Shi Yuhao's behavior of wanting to improve his strength was supported by everyone, he did not complete the task assigned to him by the family after all, so as Shi Yuhao's father, Shi Zhengping felt that his son had done something wrong.

Shi Yide shook his head and said, "Zhengping, don't blame Yuhao, as the child of the Shi family, he has done a good job." That thing was originally what we did wrong, how could we put all the heavy responsibilities of the family on his shoulders, after all, he is still a child, and it is good to be able to do this step now.

Moreover, this kind of thing is reluctantly possible, Yuhao is very good, and the granddaughter of Old Man Shen is also very good, but not two excellent people will definitely be together, we want to rely on the relationship between the two children to save the family, it was originally a wrong decision, don't mention this matter in the future. ”

At that time, Shi Yide was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, so he agreed to such a plan proposed by his eldest son.

Thinking about it now, I am really a little panicked, and I want to rely on the feelings and marriage of the two children to save the family, which is a very humiliating thing, and the Shi family has not fallen to this point.

"Zhengping, I don't know how long this body of mine can last, but I don't think there is much time, and in the future, this family will still fall on you.

So, no matter what you do, you have to think twice, I believe in your ability, and I believe that you can take the family to go further, but you must be humble.

Also, you can't have the heart of harming people, but you can't do without the heart of preventing people, the water in Yanjing is too deep, you must be cautious at all times, otherwise there will be big problems. Shi Yide said indifferently.

Shi Zhengping raised his head sharply when he heard this, and said: "Father, don't say that, your health is strong and strong, and there is still a lot of time in the future, and the Shi family has to continue to move forward under your leadership!" ”

Sterd shook his head.

"Zhengping, don't be too persistent, I know my own body, birth, old age, sickness and death are irresistible things, I am this age, and I am very lucky to have fought on the battlefield for decades without dying.

The brothers I used to fight with are no longer there, and I often see them in my dreams lately, and they say that they miss me very much, and I think this is also a kind of omen.

In my life, Shi Yide, I have lived far more vigorously than ordinary people, to be fulfilling, when I was young, I fought on the battlefield, and when I was old, I trained one after another excellent soldiers for the country, and they are still sticking to the post of dedication to the country, in this life, I have nothing to regret. ”

"Father, I ......"

Shi Yide waved his hand.

"Zhengping, for my father, in this life, I am worthy of the sky, and I am worthy of the earth, and I will fight all my life, for the country and the people, even if I leave now, I will die without regrets.

It's just that over the years, I have always had a knot in my heart, a dead knot that can't be opened, I hope that before I leave, I can see you open this knot for me, what do you say? ”
