After a few steps back and forth like this, the situation on the chessboard gradually became clear. Even though Dong Xiaokui has a good way of playing chess, it is gradually declining after all. She didn't give up, and went more and more cautiously. Grandpa Xu also walked back and forth cautiously. The two of them were silent for a moment, both focused on the chessboard.

The situation is stalemate, and the confrontation between one and the other back and forth is later, after all, Dong Xiaokui's chess is one move, and there is no way to defend it. He smiled and said: "This game is really eye-opening for me, I only have to defend along the way, and I have no power to fight back later." ”

"Are you saying that grandpa's chess style is too sharp and aggressive?" Grandpa Xu said slowly, placing chess pieces in his hands.

This was said very aggressively, Dong Xiaokui was stunned for a moment, her face was full of smiles, and said: "Grandpa, this is a big open and close, easy to come, where did you come from aggressively?" I didn't mean that. It's just that this game is tense, but it is incisive. ”

When Grandpa Xu heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Open and close, you can speak." However, whether it is true or false, I have not lived in vain for so many years. ”

Dong Xiaokui didn't pay attention to the old man's urgency, but just changed the topic and said: "The night wind is rising, the climate in Shuzhong is cold at night, I'll go close the window." As she spoke, she got up to close the window, turned around, and saw Grandpa Xu half-leaning on the cushion, a game of chess on the chessboard. A few chess pieces show the vastness of the chess game.

"Grandpa has seen all kinds of people for so many years, and his eyesight is naturally good, and any falsehood, grandpa has his own measure. I won't say anything, grandpa has his own judgment. Dong Xiaokui said slowly.

"The Xu family needs to be inherited. Sometimes it's one thing to have an umpire, it's another to take care of the big picture. Grandpa Xu said, probably implying that she was not the right person.

Dong Xiaokui sat down on the other side of the desk, looked at Grandpa Xu, and said slowly: "There are many ways to inherit the family. I look at that history, only families who are not confident in themselves will tie their rise and fall to women. Grandpa is proficient in this history. ”

"Aoi also reads the history well. But life doesn't know how. For a family to prosper, 'the female protagonist is inside, and the male protagonist is outside', all of which are indispensable. Therefore, from ordinary people to royal families, they are very cautious about the choice of hostess. This does not mean that the rise and fall of the family depends on the woman. Grandpa Xu said, got up and turned off the gramophone, and there was a lot of silence in the house, only the sound of the wind blowing the woods outside the window, and the sound of cicadas.

"Oh? So what standard does grandpa think is a good hostess throughout history? Dong Xiaokui asked. She thought that even if the old man had the heart to bring up this topic, she couldn't back down, and some things could be solved at once, which was better than dragging it like a blunt knife cutting meat, so she simply asked.

"Understand the general situation, take into account the overall situation, and do not flatter the smoke. You have to be smart. Grandpa Xu said, thought for a while, and said, "Have courage and commitment." It will not be thrilling to gain or lose power, wealth, or wealth. ”

"Grandpa's standards were high. A woman who is indifferent to fame and fortune must be familiar with the maneuvers between people, and she must have courage and commitment, this woman is tired enough. Even if there is such a woman, the male owner doesn't like it, so how can she gain a foothold. It's not to force Wu Zetian. Dong Xiaokui's words were more or less unpleasant.

Grandpa Xu was also a little displeased, snorted coldly, and said, "You are too presumptuous." ”

"I'm just talking to my grandfather about history, discussing life, and saying my own opinions, and I don't mean to offend my grandfather." Dong Xiaokui was neither humble nor arrogant, she replied calmly, and then continued: "I still have little experience, and I haven't seen much of the world. The elders of the family died early, in my mind, a family should be harmonious, the male and female owners of the family must love each other very much, cherish each other, and then they will unite and twist into a rope for this family. Because in life, no matter how much money and power you have, it is not easy to live. I think it's very cruel that there is no one around me who doesn't even speak to himself, but he has to work hard all the time. So, Grandpa just said that the prosperity of a family, I think that the most important thing is to love each other. Of course, I am a child, and my vision is naturally not as wide as that of my grandfather, nor is I as thoughtful as my grandfather. ”

Grandpa Xu half-leaned on the cushion, turned over slightly, half-lowered his eyes, snorted, and said, "You are so sharp-toothed, you are so aggressive." At this point, the cultivation is a little worse in the end. ”

When Dong Xiaokui heard this, he immediately stopped talking, just sat there, just waiting for Grandpa Xu to continue to speak. Grandpa Xu didn't speak for a while. Dong Xiaokui was bored and listened to the cicadas outside.

In this silent confrontation, Grandpa Xu finally said "um", smiled, and said, "The girl is sulking? ”

Dong Xiaokui shook his head and replied, "It's not that I'm sulking, I just don't know what to do." When I was a child, my grandparents didn't want to see me because of some family reasons, and my grandparents had to take care of my cousins and cousins. Later, my father also passed away, and my mother missed him, so she often didn't speak. So, although I want to get along with Grandpa Xu, I don't know how to make you not angry and make you happy. ”

She said slowly, and when it came to the future, she was also a little depressed. Yes, in fact, she is very bad at getting along with people, especially elders. She basically spends her time in observing.

Grandpa Xu sighed, slowly sat upright, and said, "You girl, grandpa just said something about you." Don't you know, Zhong Lin is often beaten. Lingxiu, I don't know how much they have been criticized. If you don't understand, you think grandpa doesn't like you. ”

When Dong Xiaokui heard this, she couldn't help but look at him, pouted, and said, "Then, I'm afraid that grandpa won't like me and be unhappy." So—"

"It's good to be yourself, to speak your own words, it's been a long time since anyone has spoken to me properly, discussing this historical art of war, playing chess or something. Zhonglin's stinky boy didn't come back to see me for a long time when he was free. When he came back to see me, he was not happy to say a word, and left immediately. That boy——, I don't believe he won't come back to see me. Grandpa Xu said that his tone was still slightly sad at first, and then it seemed that he was all indignant at Xu Zhonglin.

Dong Xiaokui's heart suddenly relaxed, and Grandpa Xu's implication was that he didn't like himself. She couldn't help but be happy, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Thank you, grandpa." ”

"Silly girl. When others tell me that you are smart, I see you as smart, but sometimes it may not be. Grandpa Xu said, smiling unfathomably.

Dong Xiaokui was stunned aside, but Grandpa Xu continued to fiddle with the broken chess, and while fiddling with the chess pieces, he said casually: "The inheritance of the Xu family is very important for the selection of heirs. To take on this burden, it really takes some courage and commitment. My wife was originally just a woman raised in a deep boudoir, but after she married me, she used 120,000 points of effort to support me. Learn to hold a gun, learn to sleep in the open, learn to manage family affairs, and learn to put up with my bad temper. She had a hard time, and ordinary people couldn't do it at all. I often think that I was full of spirit in those years, and in those years, I was always entangled in official duties, and I never cherished her. Now that I think about it, there are so few memories to make. ”

Dong Xiaokui sighed in his heart when he listened to it, this is a man's apology and nostalgia for a woman. Listening silently, Grandpa Xu talked about his first encounter with Grandma Xu, and there was a different brilliance on his face.

He said: "That year, I went there, the bluestone street, but I only saw it at a glance, and I felt that it was the person I wanted, and the wind was still a little cold that day, but the sunlight was very good." ”

Dong Xiaokui listened silently, and couldn't help but think of the love legend that Uncle Chen told about the grandfather and grandmother of the Xu family. What a beautiful beginning, and now, life and death are separated by a boundless distance.

Dong Xiaokui occasionally answered in the process, asking some innocuous questions. Grandpa Xu seems to have been suppressed for a long time, but he doesn't have a suitable person and a suitable environment for him to confide, and now it seems that because of Dong Xiaokui's dispute with him, such a suitable environment for confiding has been triggered. So, he actually narrated it slowly, missing the person in his heart.

At this moment, Dong Xiaokui is a spectator and an audience. Grandpa Xu narrated there, intermittently, all fragments, including battles abroad, disputes at home, and joint education of children, travel together, nights with red sleeves and fragrance, and even a certain dish on a certain day. When he wantonly missed Grandma Xu, Grandpa Xu's face was full of happiness.

Maybe love is like this, life and death can't be blocked, because love is originally a kind of spiritual remembrance that can transcend life and death.

She listened quietly to Grandpa Xu's recollections. During this period, Old Man Li and Xu Lingxiu came a few times, but they only stood outside the screen, looking at the situation inside, they felt inconvenient to come in, so they retreated.

Speaking of which, Grandpa Xu felt guilty in the end. Dong Xiaokui couldn't help but comfort and said, "Grandpa, there's nothing to feel guilty about." That's what Grandma wants to do for you, even if it's to change herself. Because she cares about you, she can't bear to let you have the slightest bit of unpleasantness. Therefore, no matter how bitter Grandpa is, he will not feel tired or unsteady. Because even though grandma is gone, you still have so many good memories. Those are out-of-print amber, and there is no more in this world. To be honest, what my grandfather just told me made me so envious. It's obviously a trivial part of ordinary life, so ordinary, but put it together bit by bit, it's a legend. Therefore, I envy my grandmother, who can be by my beloved's side like that, and do my best for him, and I envy my grandfather, who can be accompanied by my grandmother, and I am not lonely in my whole life. This is where Xiaokui has always been obsessed, and maybe this obsession makes grandpa really difficult. I'm not prepared to back down, though. ”

Dong Xiaokui finished speaking slowly, saying every word very carefully, and after finishing speaking, he didn't look at Grandpa Xu's reaction, but just looked down at the remnant chess.

The game is clearly a game of pawns coming to the city, and Black seems to be at a loss, and it is a dead game. ......
