It's close to noon.

River dam bungalows.

Jiang Ning rode on a small bench at the mouth of the earthen stove, he took a piece of firewood, filled it into the hearth, and let the flames burn.

It's late November, the temperature is dropping, and it's a pleasure to burn a fire in this weather.

The oil in the iron pot above the earthen stove was hot, and Aunt Gu picked up the carp cut into an oval shape, the body of the fish was coated with a layer of starch, and it did not look like a fish, but like a string of fish.

She threw the carp into the oil pot, and suddenly, the oil and water boiled, making a "sizzling" sound.

When the fish is fried, Aunt Gu will serve out the fried carp.

Xue Yuantong, who was studying cooking next to him, smelled the aroma of fish and exclaimed, "Mom, I'm hungry~"

Aunt Gu glared at her daughter and reprimanded: "Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat every day!" ”

The stern tone and extremely fast speed of speech made Xue Yuantong pout, secretly unconvinced.

Aunt Gu took out the pre-squeezed tomato juice from the juicer, which was squeezed from the tomatoes picked by Jiang Ning from Huqi Mountain, which was rich and sweet and sour.

Xue Chuchu on the small bench could almost think of how wonderful it would be to drink it.

Aunt Gu boiled tomato juice with sugar, white vinegar, etc.

The aroma wafts through.

Finally, Aunt Gu poured the boiled tomato sauce on the fried carp, and a dish of squirrel fish was ready.

……

Outside the door.

Yan Bo learned about Jiang Ning's residence from Boss Yang, and he scolded in his heart, how long has it been since he was so unhappy?

The last time it was like this was when he started a small factory and the wires were cut.

Yan Bo walked over angrily, ready to confront Jiang Ning.

As the distance got closer, he suddenly smelled a fragrance, and at first glance, Yan Bo's saliva almost flowed out.

'What smells so good?' This fragrance is much better than that of Boss Yang's chef.

Yan Bo stood at the door, stretching out his head to look into the small courtyard.

At this time, Jiang Ning walked out of the house, and when he saw this young man, Yan Bo's face changed, he never expected that he would be tricked by the other party.

Especially since the other party is just a high school student, this is a very shameful thing for Yan Bo.

He thought that with his social experience, it was easy to deal with a student, but he didn't expect the other party to be so scheming.

However, Yan Bo admitted that the more reason was that the girl was so beautiful that he lost his cool and would easily believe the other party's words.

Yan Bo dragged his tone: "Brother, you are not sincere, obviously you are your object, why do you say that it is your sister?" ”

While Yan Bo questioned, he asked again about the relationship between the two by the way.

Because he feels that the relationship between the two may be unusual, and knowing oneself and knowing each other can win all battles.

His thoughts were clearly seen by Jiang Ning, once a man chases a girl, his IQ often declines in steps.

Jiang Ning smiled: "I am a neighbor with her, we play together every day, she often comes to my house to play games at night, and I am older than her, so I call her sister, is there anything wrong?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Yan Bo in surprise.

Hearing this, Yan Bo's heart suddenly cooled, especially the sentence Jiang Ning said, 'Come to his house every night to play games...'

Yan Bo is an adult, and the angle and content associated with it are naturally adult-oriented, a girl goes to the boys' house every day to play games, is it really just a simple game?

For a moment, he looked shocked.

Now he finally understands the relationship between the two, they live close to each other and play together every day, isn't it called a childhood sweetheart?

The difficulty of digging the foot of the wall has increased by more than one notch in an instant.

Yan Bo even wondered, 'Can I withstand the bond between them?' ’

Yan Bo forced his composure, and thought that it was difficult for his childhood sweetheart to last long, and he still had hope.

It's just that when he thinks of that beautiful girl and such a good relationship with other boys, Yan Bo is very unhappy, and he can't wait for Jiang Ning to be hit by a car now.

The girl he fancies, no one can touch.

Once Yan Bo was looking for a secondary school girl, he was all looking for a clean girl, and the reason why he fell in love with Guo Ran was not only because the other party was beautiful and a teacher in the establishment, but also because the other party had never been in love.

It is precisely because of the flowers he plays with that Yan Bo understands the relationship between the sexes very well, so he pays special attention to the history of the woman.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Ning's eyes moved, saw the plastic bag in his hand, and asked, "What is in your bag?" ”

Yan Bo was originally going to treat Heiyu as filial piety, after all, he planned to chase after his sister.

Now that he has learned the truth, he still sends a ghost!

Yan Bo dialed in a plastic bag and showed the black fish in the bag.

He raised his head and showed off: "After leaving the pond, I suddenly transferred and caught two black fish, which are not big, only about two catties." ”

In the face of the 'rival in love', Yan Bo naturally has to pretend well, he is old, he can't fish as well as a high school student, right?

Although the fish he caught was at the level of two catties, the other party was fishing for carp, and he was fishing for black fish, which was obviously not a level, and the gap was obvious.

Jiang Ning said bluntly: "I bought it in the vegetable market, right?" ”

Yan Bo's lie was exposed, he was stunned, and then he became angry, his voice raised several levels, and asked:

"Why do you say I bought my fish? It's clear that I fished it! ”

"You're lucky, I'm not lucky, are you?"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm still competing with you!" Yan Bo's attitude was aggressive, and the anger of being exposed to the lie made his dignity feel trampled on, and he was particularly angry at the moment when he refuted it.

Because the movement was too loud, the two girls, Xue Chuchu and Xue Yuantong, came out of the kitchen to watch the excitement.

Yan Bo caught a glimpse of this scene, and became even more vigorous, and his fragile dignity drove him to continue: "It's okay if you can't catch a black fish, but you can't conclude that I can't catch it, right?" ”

"Brother, you're narrow-minded enough to see others well, right?"

Yan Bo hit a critical blow again, he felt at this moment that he was like a player in the junior high school debate competition, and a happy scolding made this boy feel calm.

He even felt that he was surrounded by a layer of light, scolding Fang Xuan, pointing out the country, and impassioning words!

At this moment, Yan Bo vaguely noticed the gaze cast by a beautiful girl not far away.

Is this your childhood sweetheart? Let's see what he really is! Yan Bo found a sense of vanity that good triumphed over evil for a long time.

Jiang Ning looked at his bluffing and inward-looking, and said leisurely: "Who caught two big black fish and would use them in a black plastic bag?" ”

Although Jiang Ning's voice was not loud, it was exceptionally clear.

Xue Yuantong cheered: "The boss of the fish seller in the vegetable market likes to use black plastic bags the most, because black plastic bags are the strongest and are not easy to be punctured by fish fins and tails." ”

Yan Bo's momentum weakened suddenly, and he scolded in his heart: 'What the hell, why do you even know this? ’

His face changed repeatedly, and finally he still insisted: "I just like black plastic bags, can't I?" I'm a low-key person. ”

Jiang Ning looked at the black plastic bag in his hand again.

Yan Bo subconsciously closed the bag, for fear that the other party would find some other clues.

When Aunt Gu went out, there were only three familiar people in the yard, and she asked, "Who was shouting just now?" ”

Jiang Ning said indifferently: "The guests of the farmhouse next door have already been sent away." ”

Aunt Gu: "Wash your hands and eat." ”

……

At noon, there are a total of four dishes, squirrel fish, braised crucian carp, yellow beef, and a lotus pond stir-fry.

Especially the fragrance of squirrel fish, which drifted to the farmhouse, Yan Bo ate the black fish in his mouth, and felt that it was not fragrant.

After eating, the afternoon sun is still warm.

Boss Yang took a pair of chess pieces outside, basking in the sun while accompanying his father-in-law to play chess.

After losing three games in a row, Tang Yaohan shook his head and sighed: "Why are your chess skills still regressing more and more?" ”

Boss Yang took advantage of the situation to flatter: "It's not that I'm going backwards, it's that Dad, your chess skills are improving too fast." ”

Yang Fei is not working in his father-in-law's company now, but many contacts in the farmhouse are related to his father-in-law.

Besides, after all, he is his elder, so he has always spoken very politely.

Tang Yaohan Education: "You are still too young and impatient, like a chess industry, you have to be patient and study slowly." ”

Well, he began to preach his patience again. Yang Fei had a headache.

Tang Yaohan instructed his son-in-law a few more tricks, and Yang Fei listened carefully to the experience.

Regarding the chess skills of the old man, Yang Fei has a general situation, which is one level stronger than the old chess man in the park, and he is a master in the amateur.

This technique is absolutely sufficient, and ordinary people can't win him at all, after all, in reality, it's not so easy to meet professional chess players.

Teacher Qian next door is also basking in the sun, knocking melon seeds, with Mr. Qian's 20-year career as a teacher, he can see at a glance that the old man is by no means an ordinary person.

The clothes and momentum were there, and the stinky old man was talking, with his nose facing the sky, and he couldn't do it.

Mr. Qian's eyes moved, and he made an idea: "Do you want to play chess?" Why don't you try to find Xiao Gu's daughter, that little guy is very good at chess! ”

After Boss Yang heard this, he looked at the door of Sister Gu's house, and sure enough, he saw Xue Yuantong sitting on a small bench.

"How old is she?" Boss Yang shook his head, not caring too much.

Teacher Qian arched the fire: "Don't look at her young age, strong chess skills!" ”

Tang Yaohan originally disdained to worry about the young man, but when he thought of fishing in the morning, before the little girl left, the words poked him in the heart, even though Tang Yaohan was a big boss and had the capacity to accommodate people, he was also very angry.

He glanced at his son-in-law: "You call her to play two games, I want to see the level of young people!" ”

Yang Fei felt that his head was big, there was no way, his father-in-law had always said the same, so he had to go to Sister Gu's house.

Two minutes later.

Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning came to the door of the farmhouse, and Xue Chuchu also came to see the excitement.

Tang Yaohan looked like a master, sat and didn't move, just raised his eyelids, and said to himself: "I usually play chess in the company, from the marketing department to the factory, no one can play me." ”

Xue Yuantong: "It's amazing! ”

Tang Yaohan smiled, smiling like a lion in the twilight of his life on the grassland, although he was old, he was still full of authority.

In the next second, Xue Yuantong said again: "Could it be that they don't dare to win you?" What if they win you and you fire them? ”

Tang Yaohan's smile stiffened.

He looked at the little girl, cleared his throat, and said in a loud and hearty voice: "If they can win against me, I will not only not fire him, but also reward him!" ”

"You are the same today, you can win me, I will go back and ask Xiaofei to pick a gift for you."

How many years has Tang Yaohan been the boss, and he speaks with all his words.

Xue Yuantong: "Okay, okay, Jiang Ning, Chu Chu, did you hear that!" ”

Xue Chuchu, who joined in the fun, had a very deep understanding of Tongtong's chess skills, and she looked at the old man sympathetically, "I'm a lot older, I'm really afraid he won't be stimulated."

Yan Bo didn't leave, he still stayed at the farmhouse, not only him, but also the previous fishing guy and the two young women, after hearing the movement, they ran to watch.

Yang Fei helped set up the chessboard, and Tang Yaohan read: "It is a good thing for young people to play more chess, and chess cultivates people's patience and perseverance. ”

He behaved lightly, Tang Yaohan was a master of chess in their circle, and he rarely failed, as for this little girl, he didn't pay attention to it.

Many young people's chess skills are the best among their peers, but once they meet the older generation like them, they often lose.

It's good for young people to be able to see five moves, but when they are older, they can easily see seven moves and nine moves.

Xue Yuantong chose the red side and began to walk the flag.

The first few rounds were very dull, Xue Yuantong played chess very quickly, the chariots and horses were parallel, and the edge was exposed.

Tang Yaohan shook his head and educated: "Young people like frizz the most, but they don't know that chess is a game, what they look at is patience, and if you have enough patience, you can wait for the opportunity." ”

After a while.

Xue Yuantong's combination of carriages and horses jumped left and right, like a fish in water.

On the contrary, Tang Yaohan's chess pieces were glued together, and it was difficult to move an inch.

Tang Yaohan spoke a lot less, frowned, and meditated.

A moment later.

Tang Yaohan looked at the missing 'shi' and was silent.

Xue Yuantong kindly reminded: "Grandpa, why don't you look for a chance?" I'm going to put you to death! ”

After a while, Tang Yaohan looked at the only 'general' left on his chessboard, and then looked at the little girl's complete carriage and horse artillery, and his eyelids jumped.

or son-in-law Yang Fei really couldn't stand it, so he ended the game with a voice.

Teacher Qian next door was satisfied, and he was unhappy to see the stinky old man.

In the second game of chess, Tang Yaohan didn't say his big reason anymore.

Xue Yuantong still uses offense instead of defense, at most she uses flanks to contain her, she left enough time for Old Man Tang to slowly eliminate his chess pieces one by one, and let him patiently look for opportunities.

But Old Man Tang couldn't find a chance at all.

It's the end of another three rounds.

Seeing that the old man's voice was hoarse, it was estimated that he was about to lose his eyes, Yang Fei couldn't let them go down again, he raised the thermos cup, pretended to have his hand slippery, and suddenly didn't hold it steady, and suddenly fell to the chessboard, smashing all the chess pieces.

Tang Yaohan was relieved, he actually felt a kind of ease, it was finally over!

But on the face, he still showed great anger and taught his son-in-law: "What's the matter with you, see that my chessboard is messed up, this game was about to be won, and I was disturbed by you, how can I play now?" ”

Yang Fei hurriedly said: "I didn't hold it steady." Didn't hold it steady. ”

Xue Yuantong smiled innocently: "Uncle, don't panic, you can still play, I remember the position of the chess pieces." ”

As she spoke, she restored the pieces to where they had just been placed.

Tang Yaohan's face turned green.
