Chapter 178: Dedication
After a short breath of superfluous silence, Old Man Diao got up from his chair in surprise, his face turned from red to white, but in the blink of an eye, "Impossible, this is impossible." ”
Jiang Shixian didn't know whether he was a step slower to react or wait to watch the play, in short, after the old man Diao exclaimed, he spoke, but there was pride in his words, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard to be convincing, maybe this girl is wise and foolish, and she is also a little creative in chess, God has mercy." ”
Although there was not a word in these words mocking the old man Diao, to his ears, it was solid and sarcastic, as if he had been slapped hard.
If he wanted to put it on hold in normal times, he would have turned his face at once, but now he can't.
Old man Diao ignored Jiang Shixian's harsh words, and continued to stare at the black and white chess pieces for a while, as if asking them why the girl just put two of them and cracked them, and he had spent a few months and hadn't figured it out yet.
If you want to say that Jiang Xiaotuan has this strength, the old man Diao doesn't believe it, they have been together for half a month, her strangeness to playing chess can't fool her, but if you want to talk about talent, it's not necessarily true, this girl can't even play her sister, and if she is really talented, she won't be like this.
Come to think of it, it's just luck.
That's right, this girl is just lucky.
But if you think about it for a while, it's not easy to be lucky, and it's not easy to break two games in a row.
Old man Diao's eyes widened, as if he had never seen Jiang Xiaotuan look at her so much, and finally shook his head, still thinking it was impossible.
Jiang Shixian doesn't care how Jiang Xiaotuan came up with it, all he wants is the result, when the daughters didn't come back just now, the old man Diao had already reprimanded him like a grandson, if it weren't for the prestige of the old man, he wouldn't be angry, and it was really his own daughter who was not angry.
But now it's different, Jiang Shixian turned over in an instant, he didn't even smile before, now it's like throwing into a honeypot, and his mouth can't close when he laughs, "Xiaotuan, this is your mistake, even if you are a little smart, you have to learn with an open mind, you must know that there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, and there is no end to learning." ”
Jiang Xiaotuan smiled indifferently, "Dad taught me a lesson." ”
"Well, it's not a lesson, it's just to tell you." Jiang Shixian corrected.
"Make amends to Mr., and then take your sister back first, tell your mother in the evening, I will go to you, it seems that you are not only talented in cooking, you also have some talent in chess, our father and daughter will learn from each other in two nights." Jiang Shixian rarely praised him so unsparingly, and only said that these were not for Jiang Xiaotuan, but for Old Man Diao.
Jiang Shixian is also yin enough, and he must compare, and the little resentment that he was just trained by the old man Diao was returned tenfold, and he only killed the shame that the old man's son said, and he couldn't wait to find a crack to get into.
Even the two sisters of Jiang Xiaotuan apologized, he didn't dare to respond, the old man asked himself if he lived so big, and he was quite accurate in seeing people, and he hadn't missed it, but this time it was planted on Jiang Xiaotuan's body, whether she was talented or not was unknown, but he knew that he couldn't teach this girl.
To be a gentleman must have the dignity and pride of a gentleman, now that he has lost an adult in front of this girl, how can she convince herself in the future, and the words she said before, within a few days, she remembers it, and that girl will definitely not forget.
So as soon as the two sisters left, the old man Diao resigned from Jiang Shixian, if he didn't crack the chess game, Jiang Shixian would definitely show his face to keep it, at this time, he also felt that the old man Diao was not competent, and he kept a few words in a fake way, and the old man Diao had made up his mind, returned the silver, and it was over.
Old man Diao only taught Jiang Xiaotuan's sisters for two and a half months, and then he quit, the Jiang family knew that he couldn't teach him, so he was shallow in learning, but when it was spread outside, it became another version, Jiang Xiaotuan was stubborn, disobedient to discipline, wild and untamable, in the end, she grew up in the countryside, and no matter how good a gentleman was, she couldn't teach her.
Those who have seen Jiang Xiaotuan have doubts, but those who have not seen it believe most of them, and the original stream of people who came to the door to ask for relatives suddenly plummeted, Jiang Shixian tried to tell the truth, but it was too outrageous, and no one believed it.
Of course, that's another story.
That night, Jiang Shixian had dinner with the Li family, and then he accompanied his two daughters to play chess in a leisurely manner, Jiang Xiaotuan lost a game, won a game, and played a draw, Jiang Shixian was very satisfied with this result, because Jiang Xiaotuan's strength before, he was quite satisfied with his chess skills.
Jiang Xiaotuan actually can't beat him, and her level is about the same as a three-year-old doll, but she has chess games, and she learns how to play from above, but Jiang Shixian is also dazzled, and finally collapses.
Jiang Xiaoyue relied on her own strength, but she was a child until she died, she didn't have such a deep mind, and after losing a game, the little girl was also a little competitive, thinking about the next game.
Jiang Shixian waved his hand and glanced at the fresh and elegant Li family, "Another day, today Dad is tired, you also go back to rest, Mr. Diao has resigned, tomorrow I have to find a better gentleman to teach you, especially Xiaotuan, you have this talent, you can't waste it, the next time Ling Xiaowang asks you to play chess, you can play with him, chess opponents, people like him will like it." ”
His teachings to his daughter were all purposeful, Jiang Xiaotuan endured the nausea, if it weren't for his sister, she wouldn't talk nonsense with him, "Dad, if Mr. can't find it for a while, I have someone to recommend." ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
"The eldest lady of the Lu family is docile and patient, I am very happy to see Xiaoyue when she taught Xiaoyue to play chess this afternoon, it is better to let Xiaoyue go to her to learn chess these days."
"This ...... What about you? "Jiang Shi's obvious focus is not on Jiang Xiaoyue, but when she comes in handy in the future, she naturally can't be left behind.
"I'll go too."
Jiang Shixian had heard of Lu Qiuyan from Zhen Li's mouth before, but he didn't have any good words, hypocrisy, pretense, etc., he was a big man, and he didn't have the heart to participate in the little girl's noisy noise, but he listened to it a lot, and his impression was not good.
But when I saw it before, although I didn't say anything, Lu Qiuyan has quite a beautiful demeanor and temperament, and I heard that she is also a talented girl.
"That's okay, in addition to your sisters learning chess with her, you can also learn something else, she is a daughter who grew up in the capital since she was a child, you have to be modest."
Jiang Xiaoyue likes Lu Qiuyan very much, and she does mean this, but she doesn't want her eldest sister to have already arranged it for her.
"Wait for tomorrow when you prepare some gifts to send over, don't shave your head and pick your hair hot, but also ask what people mean."
"Yes, just gift money...... And the cost of learning chess......"
Jiang Shixian was rarely happy, "I'll go and talk to you Erniang." ”
"Okay, dad is tired, you go down."
Jiang Shixian wanted to send the two sisters away, and he wanted to say something to the Li family.
"Xiuhe, you are getting more and more beautiful, but you don't look like a woman in her thirties, and you look like the children's sister."
Jiang Shixian is used to coaxing Yin Mei'er with rhetoric, but he forgets that the simple Li family in front of him doesn't like flamboyant men.
Li didn't have much joy, the children were the same age as flowers, she was all old, how could she be like a sister, this self-knowledge is still there, but in the past two years, the small group has helped to clean up a little better, but the traces of hard work before are still there.
"Don't tease me, they're all children's mothers, and they're old."
"Not old, not old, come and do it, let's talk to each other as a couple." Jiang Shixian looked at the slender Li family, and his heart was a little nervous.
I was going to warm up first and then speak, but it was such a coincidence, Li said that she was not clean, Jiang Shixian was immediately disappointed, but there was still an infatuated smile on his face, "It's okay, just talk, I know you have some misunderstandings about me, alas...... Don't mention the previous things, I will take you to the capital, and you will only enjoy the happiness in the future, and you will never have to work hard to show up again. ”
Li suddenly thought of Jiang Xiaotuan's shop that was about to open, and his heart was shocked, and he had been greeting all kinds of people all these years, and it was not so easy to show his thoughts.
"Ahem, you opened a shop in the countryside before, and you can earn a few hundred taels a year, you should have some money on hand, right?" Jiang Shixian asked.
Li's smile was mixed with some intriguing bitterness, "I didn't save much, a few hundred taels a year was calculated according to the recent period, the shop had just opened before, and there were not many customers, and the eldest brother and they came to make trouble once every three days, and they barely made ends meet before." ”
Although Jiang Xiaotuan has not explained, the Li family is not stupid, although the silver is in her hands, it is all earned by Xiaotuan girl, she has never spent it indiscriminately, so she wants to help her keep it first, and when she gets married in the future, these are all to be brought to her.
"Damn, big brother, they're just too much of a bully, you've suffered all these years." Jiang Shixian took the initiative to take Li's hand and looked at her with affection.
It can be seen that Li is a little uncomfortable, but he didn't withdraw his hand, in the end it is husband and wife, this kind of touch is normal, "It's not hard, I can live all these years, it's all up to Xiaotuan girl, Xiaoyue is small at that time, and the first year of junior high school has not been born yet, if it weren't for this girl being forced to get up, we really have no way to live." ”
The current Jiang Xiaotuan is all good, but when Li sees it, there is always an indescribable sadness, in her opinion, these are all forced out, but when she thinks about it, she will fight for her own strength, otherwise she doesn't know what to do.
"Xiaotuan's temperament is indeed different from when he was a child, and I wonder why I didn't follow your gentleness and thoughtfulness......"
Jiang Shixian was just about to reach out and touch Li's face, but at the critical moment, there was a rapid knock on the door, and he was about to curse unhappily, but he heard someone shouting:
"Master, it's not good, Madame's stomach is upset."
