Chapter 417: Watching the Battle of Go
In early winter, it is rare to have a warm sunny day.
Most of the plants in Ji Hongyuan's small courtyard are evergreen, only a few sycamores and hibiscus, the leaves have fallen this season, and the branches are bare and a little depressed.
The yard is cleaned, and occasionally a few fallen leaves can be seen.
Ji Hanchen and the old man sat at the stone table, and there was a game of Go on the table.
Lin Siyue has been watching the battle from the sidelines for a long time.
The old man's chess style is steady and steady, not impatient or impatient, but when he encounters Ji Hanchen's breakthrough, he is often a little stretched.
Ji Hanchen plays chess just like his character, he seems to be sharp and enterprising, and often surprises the old man by surprise, but in fact, every step is thoughtful and stable.
In the end, the two played to a draw.
Ji Hanchen's demeanor was lazy and lazy, with a slight impetuousness between his eyebrows.
The old man glanced up at him and dropped the chess pieces in his hand.
Lin Siyue didn't know much about the way of Go, but she could also see that this was the result of Ji Hanchen's pretending negligence to let the old man and his two sons.
She poured hot tea for the two of them on the side, and then said with a smile: "The housekeeper told me just now that this is your favorite best Tieguanyin, and it is really good, just smell the fragrance of this tea and know that it is good tea."
The old man picked up the teacup, blew down the foam, tasted it carefully, and said, "I haven't tasted any tea over the years, but I slowly discovered the beauty of this tea when I got older."
"This life is sometimes like this tea, with ups and downs, twists and turns, in order to taste the taste."
"Han Chen, do you know why this tea is called Tieguanyin?"
Ji Hanchen looked lazily at a kumquat tree under the root of the wall in the courtyard.
The trees are full of yellow, orange and orange oranges, but no one picks them, and the leaves of the orange trees have already fallen this season, but because the branches are full of fruits, it is pleasing to the eye.
Ji Hanchen pointed to the orange tree, "I don't drink tea." ”
Lin Siyue secretly pushed him, and then got up to pick oranges for him.
Ji Hanchen felt it, hesitated for a moment before adding, "I really don't drink much tea on weekdays."
The old man nodded and was not angry.
Probably choked and choked and was used to choking.
I can explain to him today that this is already a big step forward in the easing of the relationship between father and son.
The old man continued to taste his tea, "You young people don't love tea very much, maybe you won't know the benefits of tea until you reach my age." ”
Ji Hanchen didn't bother to answer.
Originally, he planned to rely on Lin Siyue on the weekend to do something he wanted to do, or live a world of two people.
Who knew that the old man had to let people come to their side, and he didn't talk about business, and chatted blindly after playing chess.
He didn't think he had anything to talk about with the old man, so he seemed a little impatient.
Ji Hanchen took the oranges picked by Lin Siyue and asked, "What kind of variety is this, can you eat it?"
As he spoke, he had peeled off the orange peel.
Lin Siyue didn't know what kind of variety this was, so she only said: "South orange and North orange, this orange is probably sour and bitter."
Ji Hanchen peeled a petal and put it in his mouth, but said unexpectedly: "It's not bad, it's quite sweet."
Lin Siyue glanced at the old man, and always felt that the atmosphere between the father and son made people feel uncomfortable.
She had no choice but to go around and say: "The Phoenix Mountains and Waters are good, and the gardeners here will also maintain them, and it is not unusual for this orange to be sweet."
The wind was a little cool, Lin Siyue bent down and picked up the coat on the side and put it on the old man.
I heard Ji Hongyuan say: "This orange tree was transported from the south in the original soil and pots, and the fruit will naturally not be sour and bitter."
