The man didn't squirm when he heard Meizi's words. Then he sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks and tasted the steamed dumplings in front of him.

Meizi always watched the man's movements with a smile on her face. But the man swallowed the steamed dumplings in his mouth. Then you open your mouth and ask.

"And big brother, what do you think of the taste."

When Heping heard Meizi's words, he looked up and met the little girl's smiling eyebrows.

"Well, it's delicious. This dipping sauce is also delicious. ”

The smile on Meizi's face deepened a little when she heard this. A pair of bright eyes bent into a crooked crescent shape. The small dimple on the side of his cheek was deeply sunken. It's impossible to take your eyes off it.

Umeko moved the potsticker in front of her to peace.

"And big brother, you're trying this and see how it tastes."

The man seemed to be bewitched by Umeko's smile. I didn't look carefully at what was in front of me, so I lifted my chopsticks and picked one up and put it in my mouth.

I couldn't stop eating this one, and I ate several in a row.

When he reacted, his ears turned red unconsciously.

The man coughed slightly embarrassed.

"Ahem... Cough...... It's weird and delicious. Hehe............"

Meizi looked at the honest appearance of peace and didn't feel funny.

"This is a potsticker, I put the steamed dumplings in the pot and touched a layer of oil to fry them. If you like it, it's fine. ”

After Meizi finished speaking, she picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up the steamed dumplings in the bowl and ate them.

The man glanced in the direction of the plum, and ate it with a smile in his dark eyes.

The two of them finished eating. The plum boiled hot water and washed all the dishes and chopsticks that the guests ate this morning. The man rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help, but was stopped by Meizi.

After washing the plums, Heping helped take the dishes and chopsticks out of the shop outside, and turned back again.

Meizi looked at the man curiously.

"You're okay in the afternoon, so idle."

The man looked at Meizi and smiled.

"Well, I'm taking turns off today, and I'm idle too."

Meizi let out a faint "oh".

"Then why don't you go back to Big Bend Village to see Uncle He!"

Peace raised an eyebrow.

"My grandfather only came to the county seat two days ago and stayed with me for two days, and he just went back yesterday."

Meizi nodded her head and said "oh". It's hard to say anything, it's hard to drive people away! Saying that this man did himself a great favor this morning, and it wouldn't seem impersonal if he drove people out.

"Then you and the eldest brother go to the hall and sit down, and I'll make you tea."

After saying that, he turned around and went in the direction of the stove.

Heping naturally knew what Meizi didn't say, but the opportunity was rare, and he was usually either busy or there were other people on Meizi's side. Today, I finally have this opportunity to be alone, so I naturally have to grasp it.

Meizi naturally doesn't know what a man thinks in his heart, if he knows Meizi, he can only say "hehe".

When Meizi went in with the tea, the man was looking down and fiddling with the things on the table, and Meizi looked over curiously.

"Hey, when did you bring this thing with my eldest brother, I didn't see it."

The man stopped what he was doing and looked up at the little girl with a puzzled expression.

Laughed a little. A pair of narrow eyes, if you look closely, you can see a little doting smile.

"When I came here today, I originally wanted to find you a game of chess, and the last time I heard you talk about it, you will also play this backgammon. Can you please accompany me for a few games today? I didn't find anyone who could go down. It's a pity to see this chess piece lying down. ”

Meizi looked at the brown paper that the man had placed on the table, and the black and white chess pieces in the two small wooden boxes that had been opened.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"You've laid it out. I can't talk about it if I don't play a few games with you, can I? ”

After speaking, he lifted the teapot and poured two cups of tea for himself and Heping.

The man only smiled when he heard Meizi's words, and the expression on his slightly serious face softened a little.

"Do you want white or black letters."

Peace looked at Meizi with a slight inquiry.

Meizi glanced at the black and white chess pieces on the table.

"I can do it all, you choose first!"

After hearing this, Heping's smile deepened a little.

"Okay. Then you're welcome. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his slender and powerful hand and took the wooden box containing the white child to his side.

Then he raised his head and looked at Meizi with a pair of narrow and slightly heroic eyes with a slight smile.

"Alright, this one is yours."

Slightly arched up and handed the sunspot placed in the middle of the table to Meizi.

Meizi looked at the sunspot in her hand and was stunned, although she said it casually, but don't most men and women usually choose sunspots when playing chess?

With this doubt in her heart, Meizi picked up the sunspot in her hand and looked at it in her hand for a moment.

"You come first, or I do it first."

The man smiled and looked at Meizi's two white fingers pinching the chess pieces, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes, which was quickly submerged again.

The reason why Heping didn't want to choose sunspots was because the last time I saw the little girl pinching the sunspots, I still can't forget it in my mind for a long time.

I saw this chess piece today and thought about it again. That's why there is a scene where Baizi is chosen first.

"You come first."

After Heping said this, a pair of dark eyes stared at the black chess pieces on Meizi's fingertips.

Meizi felt that her fingers were a little hot when she was seen by the man, so she hurriedly dropped the chess pieces, hurriedly withdrew her hand behind her back, and unconsciously pinched it tighter, and the tips of her ears were also a little red.

Heping looked at the reddish ears of the plum with the corner of his eye. Hurriedly put away the eyes just now, and reached out and touched his nose uncomfortably. Then he pinched the white child and fell.

After the two of them just came out, their eyes were glued to the piece of brown paper on the table, and they slowly became concentrated.

The two of them stopped and walked on a par, and played a game.

Peace is addicted and invites Meizi to play another game.

Meizi also nodded in response, mainly because she came to this other world, and she was running around for life every day, and she didn't have this time. Even if there is time, there is no opponent. Today and peace played a few rounds. I haven't played such a game for a few years, and I have also aroused interest. I gladly agreed.

The two of them went back and forth for a few plates, and by the time they came back to their senses, the sun had already set.

"It's too late, let's stop here today! I have time to talk to my big brother. ”

Meizi glanced at the sky outside, turned her head to look at the peace, and said.

Peace also looked outside, and felt that it was about the same.

"Well, okay, when we have time, let's have two more rounds."

Meizi hurriedly agreed.

Heping rolled up the brown paper on the table, sorted the chess pieces into the wooden box. and into a long box.

Picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

It is estimated that it took too long to pour it out, and the tea in the cup was cold. The man frowned slightly, and quickly put it back in. I still swallowed the tea in my mouth.
