Jiang You sat opposite Xu Lao, and he picked up a sunspot and placed it in the star position in the upper right corner.

Xu Lao put down the white son in the lower left corner.

Liu Jun sat on the side and took notes.

"Xiao Jiang is good," Zhao Lijun ate the grapes, "Did you practice secretly at home?" ”

"Yes," Jiang You took a sip of tea, "After losing three games last time, I downloaded a Go book on my phone when I got home, and watched a game of chess every day before going to bed, listening to the commentary, don't say it, my sleep quality is slowly improving." ”

"Are you going to the qualifying tournament this month?" Liu Jun asked.

"Qualification? It's all children, right? I can't get down to them, some of them can be fixed in two years, like Zhao Lao's grandson, I played with him online, and he was killed. Jiang You said as he fell.

"It's easy for kids to win."

Jiang You looked up at Liu Jun.

"Children are very afraid of adults, you sit there when the time comes, the expression is a little fierce," Liu Jun made a very fierce expression, "They are afraid, they dare not play if they are afraid," Liu Jun imparted his experience, "I went there once a few years ago, that child, he always remembered me, I met him in a Go event last year, and he came to me and said, uncle, do you remember me, I played chess with you in the grading tournament......"

Xu Lao glared at Liu Jun, and he said, "Don't bother me for the long exam." ”

Liu Jun and Zhao Lijun glanced at each other with a smile and stopped talking.

Jiang You won the first game and lost the second game.

He stood up, stretched his waist and said, "Take a break, I feel a little lack of oxygen in the house, I'll go for a walk in the yard." ”

The three of them also stood up, and they walked around the courtyard.

Xu Lao and Zhao Lao went to the flower room, they looked at the flower seedlings in the flower pot and began to argue about the varieties.

Jiang You and Liu Jun walked to the terrace.

On Saturdays, Culture Street is lively.

Liu Jun scattered a cigarette to Jiang You, "You gave up too early in the second game, you didn't fall too far behind in the middle game, your chess style is thick, and you have a chance to win in the official stage." ”

"My will to fight is too poor, not tenacious enough," Jiang You lit a cigarette, he leaned on the railing and watched the flow of people on the street, "It may have something to do with my character, seeing difficulties, I always wonder if I can bypass it." ”

"There are some difficulties that cannot be overcome." Liu Jun sighed.

Jiang You glanced sideways at Liu Jun, "Have you encountered difficulties recently?" ”

Liu Jun took a puff of cigarette, "It's not difficult, a headhunter came to me and said that there was a position that was very suitable for me, and the treatment was good." ”

"That's good."

"My current work is not good or not," Liu Jun took another puff of cigarette, "What to do and how to do it every day, I am clear in my heart, very involutional, I want to move a little, but if I move, it will not necessarily go in a good direction." ”

"It's too late to make a decision in a few years, right?" Jiang You asked.

"It's after the year."

"I'm going to make a move after the year, I'm going to do a good job of this store, I have a son now, I have to lead by example, I can't raise him to my character."

After smoking a cigarette, they walked down the terrace, and Xu Lao and Zhao Lao also walked out of the flower room.

"Little ginger, what kind of flower is you?" Zhao Lao asked.

"I don't know," Jiang You replied: "I asked a friend of mine for the flower seeds, wait for the plants to come out and see, she has a good aesthetically, these flowers should be quite beautiful, right?" ”

They walked back to the store.

Zhaocai also climbed into the store, it jumped on the counter, glanced at Jiang You's sugar bowl, and nested in.

"I can't nest here, I still have to eat these sugars," Jiang You picked up Zhaocai, "I'll find you a bowl." ”

He walked into the kitchen, took out a large soup bowl, and after putting Zhaocai inside, he touched its head, "It looks delicious......

Zhao Cai meowed and jumped out of the bowl.

Jiang You watched it jump onto the long table, step on the chessboard, and jump onto the shelf, very sensitive.

Liu Jun looked at Zhaocai, and he said, "Mimi, come here, Mimi......"

Zhao Cai turned away and didn't look at him.

"It's called Zhaocai."

Liu Jun changed his title: "Beckon, come here." ”

Zhaocai still ignored him.

"Talent talent, my friend has been recruiting recently, so he gave it such a name."

"Your friend is quite interesting," Liu Jun turned around, "there are a lot of job hops at the end of the year." ”

"Yes, it's difficult to recruit the right person, it's too good to come and don't want to come, and there are this and that problems when you want to come," Jiang You took the teacup on the long table to the kitchen and refilled the hot water, and then brought it out, "Where are we going to eat dinner?" ”

"You don't finish playing chess yet, and you want to eat?" Xu Laoduan sat in front of the chessboard.

Jiang You put down the teacup, he took a cashew nut from the dried fruit bowl and threw it into his mouth, "It shows that I am serious in my chess today, I use my brain, and I need to eat a better meal to make up for it." ”

"If you don't go back for dinner today, your wife will be unhappy." Zhao Lijun's voice interjected.

"My wife and my daughter went out shopping, and they also came back from eating outside."

"Let's hurry up and finish it, and then let's go eat hot pot." Jiang You proposed.

"Okay." Liu Jun immediately agreed.

Xu Zhihai and Zhao Lijun also nodded.

After determining the content of dinner, Jiang You was more excited, and he won the first set after the halftime in a rage.

Old Xu's expression became more and more solemn.

Zhao Lijun and Liu Jun didn't dare to chat.

For a moment, only the sound of crackling was left in the store.

Two hours later, Jiang You surrendered in despair.

"Old Xu is getting braver and braver today," Zhao Lijun said: "Xiao Jiang, tonight's hot pot, please." ”

"I please, I please."

"I'm invited," Xu Lao smiled and stood up on the table, his voice was very neutral, "I won, don't rob me, Xiao Jiang, you still have to practice more." ”

"Yes, yes." Jiang You nodded.

"Your official is too bad, you need targeted training."

"I understand."

"It's useless to just look at the game and watch other people play. You have to play more to be able to play long. ”

"That's right."

"I can still play chess at my age, you are young ......"

Jiang You looked in the direction of the stairs.

"Meow." Zhao Cai screamed, and it jumped off the shelf and hid under the long table.

Jiang Mo slid down the handrail of the stairs.

Jiang You immediately stood up, "Hey, how many times have I told you to go down the stairs properly, you are very dangerous like this," he walked up to Jiang Mo and hugged him.

"Tired of playing? Ready to eat? ”

Jiang You looked at the thin pajamas on Jiang Mo's body, he turned his head and said to Xu Lao, "I'll go change his clothes, and then come down to the hot pot restaurant." ”

"Okay, we'll wait for you."
