Lin Lao Wu's home is in the west of the town, the place is easy to find, you can smell the smell of wood far away, and you can see the wood piled up like a hill through the wooden fence that is more than half a person high, as well as the tables, chairs, furniture, plaques, and wood shavings everywhere on the ground.

"Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle!" There was no one in the courtyard, Tan Xiaotian was still probing his brain at the door, and he didn't know if he should go in directly, Tian Qingyou had already opened his voice and shouted loudly.

"Here we go!" Hearing the shout, Lin Lao Wu ran out of the house, with a smile on his face, brighter than the expression of the welcome guy at Juyou Restaurant.

"Every day, why did you come here, waiting for you to be old for a long time, hehe, little fat man, you are also joining in the fun?" Lin Lao Wu first greeted Tan Xiaotian with a smile, and then asked Tian Qingyou.

"Fifth uncle, why do you call Tiantian by name, and call me Little Fatty, it's very unfair." Tian Qingyou protested dissatisfiedly.

"Hehe, little one, how is it unfair? Is there any kid in town who is fatter than you? You just name one, and I'll never call you a fat little man again. Lin Lao Wu asked with a smile.

This question stumped Tian Qingyou, because it was impossible to find an answer, and he puffed out his cheeks angrily for a while to express his dissatisfaction.

"Brother Qingyou, don't be angry, don't you still have something to ask him?" Seeing that the two of them had an awkward quarrel as soon as they met, Tan Xiaotian hurriedly secretly tugged Tian Qingyou's arm and reminded him in a whisper.

"Uh", thinking of asking Lin Lao Wu to make a set of chess sets for himself, Tian Qingyou's confidence suddenly lost half of it.

"Heh, two little ones, what are you muttering secretly?" The situation of the two children biting their ears did not escape Lin Lao Wu's eyes, and he asked with a smile - the work he prepared for Tan Xiaotian was very easy and there would be no danger, so it didn't matter if he added Tian Qingyou, anyway, the two children were people who often stayed by Qiu Ju's side, and there was no harm in having a good relationship.

Tian Qingyou's face has always been thick-skinned, what his father taught, 'thin-skinned, can't eat, thick-skinned, eat enough', if you want to get what you want, you have to dare to open your mouth, if you bring it up, others may not accept it, if you don't bring it up, others will not take the initiative to give it to you.

"Fifth uncle, I heard every day that you want to make him a game of Go, can you make me a payment too?" With what he thought was the most ridiculous smile, Tian Qingyou asked flatteringly, like a little poodle.

"Oh," Lin Lao Wu turned his gaze to Tan Xiaotian when he heard this.

"It was Brother Qingyou who asked me." Knowing that he was looking for trouble for Lin Lao Wu, Tan Xiaotian explained a little weakly, worried that he would make the other party unhappy.

"Heh, little fat man, your father has been planning to buy you a payment for a long time, can you use it for me to make it for you?" Lin Lao Wu asked with a smile - one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also released, since he has already started to make chess sets for Tan Xiaotian, it is not bad for Tian Qingyou to make a payment, anyway, he is not bad at that little effort, but this is not in his plan after all, if he agrees too happily, wouldn't it be too cheap Tian Dayi, that profiteer.

"However, my father said that Ah Fu will only go to Qingyun City next month to buy goods, and it will take more than ten days at the earliest." Tian Qingyou replied.

"More than ten days is not long, and you can sleep for half a month in a row." Lin Lao Wu joked - the Tian family is not without money, this reason is not sufficient.

"Then, the fifth uncle, you can help. Every day I accompany you to play chess for half an hour, can't I accompany you for the next hour? "A child's heart, what others have is good, even if it is better than that, not to mention that the Go promised by my father doesn't know where it is, and Tan Xiaotian may get it today, Tian Qingyou can't give up easily, shaking Lin Lao Wu's arm, he begged pitifully.

"What? Chess with me for the next hour? Haha, what kind of condition is this. Listening to Tian Qingyou's offer, Lin Lao Wu was stunned at first, and then laughed - this fat boy really thought that he was short of opponents to practice chess.

"Fifth uncle, what are you laughing at, is it okay?" The two children were confused by Lin Lao Wu's laughter, and the two of them asked anxiously.

"Hehe, it's okay, but your sparring partner for that hour is still forgotten. If you're looking for practice, it's better to spend an afternoon in the chess room. Lin Lao Wu laughed so much that his stomach hurt--wasting time at Tian Qingyou's place, does Tian Dayi still have a sister? Even if Tian Dayi really has a younger sister, with Tian Dayi's dignity, he has to dare to marry.

"You don't need to be a sparring partner, so what do you want?" Tian Qingyou is the son of the innkeeper, the so-called dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse will make a hole, he knows that everything has a price, if Lin Lao Wu does not make conditions, he may have a greater price if he finds a future account later.

"Well, it's really a problem, so let's do it, for the sake of helping you intercede every day, I won't embarrass you, just help work together." Lin Lao Wu thought about it and said with a smile--Can he really be embarrassed by an eight-year-old child? If he really did that, wouldn't the spread of the matter make people laugh at him for being a manly man and a big man bullying children?

"Really? Talking counts?! Tian Qingyou was overjoyed - of course he can do the work that a five-year-old child can do every day, and he will get something for his efforts, since Lin Lao Wu has put forward this condition, he will not make other requests in the future.

"Of course, when do I speak and don't count?" Lin Lao Wu said with a smile.

The conditions were negotiated, and the three of them began to work, saying that they were working, but in fact, Lin Lao Wu was playing with the two children - he had prepared more than a dozen wooden sticks with a diameter of about half an inch, with the same width and narrowness of the carved lines drawn on them, and sawed them down by hand, with his basic carpentry skills, a thin round piece of wood fell, Tian Qingyou and Tan Xiaotian were responsible for smoothing the burrs on the wood chips on the rough stone, and the other was responsible for brushing black and white paint on the wood chips. After the lacquer is dry, the wooden chess pieces are finished, and the two of them wear gloves when they work, and they are not afraid that the wooden thorns will hurt their hands.

Although the work of grinding burrs and painting is not tiring, but more than 700 chess pieces are also quite a considerable project for the two children, even if Lin Lao Wu came to help after sawing the wood chips, when they were all completed, it was already the sun, looking at the dense fruits of labor neatly arranged on the two three-foot square wooden boards, Tian Qingyou and Tan Xiaotian took a long breath, and their hearts were full of a sense of achievement.
