Chapter 5 Playing Chess with the Old Man

Chapter 5 Playing Chess with the Old Man
It took almost half an hour to separate from the old man, but Zhou Wenhua was not in a hurry to go back. He walked about 100 meters and went to the coffee shop to buy a cup of iced coffee.

"Honey, let's go home."

After the old lady prayed, she came downstairs and said to the old man who was sitting at the door of the supermarket watching others play Go.

"Go back first, I'll be back later."

"Don't you know how to play Go?"

The old lady felt strange, the old man didn't like to watch people play Go here on weekdays, why was he so leisurely today.

"I'm waiting for someone, just take a look."

After finishing speaking, the old man looked up at the street in front of him, and a young man who was drinking coffee attracted his attention.

"Wait for who?"

The old man stood up smiling and said, "He's here."

Zhou Wenhua, who was drinking water, saw the old man waving at him, and he was almost choked.

The old man hasn't left yet...

He quickened his pace and walked over.

"Honey, what are you waiting for that child to do?"

the old lady asked puzzledly.

"He's very interesting, and he lives in our community. You should go back first."

It was rare for the old man to meet someone who liked him. He wanted to have a further chat with Zhou Wenhua, since he was idle anyway.

"Okay, you come back early."

The old lady walked slowly back to the community with a group of church members. Zhou Wenhua came over and nodded and said, "Old man, I thought you were home."

"No, I said I'll wait for you."

Why does this sound so awkward?

"Are you playing Go?"

Zhou Wenhua smiled awkwardly, then he glanced at the two old men who were playing Go and said.

"No, I don't know this stuff, but I can play chess, you know chess?"

The old head was trying to test him on purpose.

I don't know about chess?
"I know, and I can play chess."

"Great, let's go and play chess with me."

The old man almost clapped his hands and applauded.

Zhou Wenhua didn't expect that the old man could play chess. He was slightly surprised and asked, "Now? Where is chess?"

In South Korea, most people can only play Go but not Xiangqi. Only old people like the old man had the opportunity to play chess before.

"Yes, now, go to my house, I have it."

He used to do things like playing chess with the old man in Huaguo, but Zhou Wenhua still politely refused, "However, I have other things at home."

"What's the matter? Didn't you say you live here alone?"

The old man didn't want to let him go easily.

"I..." Zhou Wenhua said in a hurry, "I have to go home and clean up. There are a lot of unwashed clothes."

"Hey, it's fine to leave it to women. A big man does hygiene and does laundry."

The old man said dismissively.

"But I don't have a woman."

"You don't have a girlfriend?"

"No."

"Then play chess with me, and if you beat me, I'll introduce you to a woman."

amount……

The fuck is this okay?
"No, let me play chess with you for a while."

The old man couldn't be more stubborn than him, so Zhou Wenhua had no choice but to agree to accompany him to play chess at home.

Follow the old man to Building 101, and take the elevator to the 9th floor. Once the elevator door opens, you will see the garden of the old man's house.

Ganqing Building 101 is different from the building 103 where I live.

Zhou Wenhua's house is also accessed by an elevator, but the entrance is just behind the elevator door, and his house has no front garden.

"Greetings, this is my wife."

In the garden, the old lady was trimming the flowers and plants she planted. When she heard the old man's voice, she put down the scissors and looked back at Zhou Wenhua kindly.

"Hi, I'm Zhou Wenhua."

Zhou Wenhua bowed to the old lady according to the etiquette.

"Hello."

The old lady smiled at him.

"Honey, go and take out my chess, I want to fight with..."

The old man didn't listen carefully to the other party's name, so he asked Zhou Wenhua, "What's your name?"

"Zhou Wenhua."

"Oh, yes, I want to play chess with Wenhua."

After finishing speaking, the old man walked to the door of the house, and he shouted into the house: "Jinghua, there are guests here."

"Yes."

A middle-aged woman's voice came from the room.

The old man dragged Zhou Wenhua into the room to sit down in the living room, and the old lady also went to the room to look for chess.

A middle-aged woman dressed plainly came out of the kitchen. She looked at Zhou Wenhua with a smile and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

She was about 50 years old, and she seemed to be a servant of the old man's house. Out of politeness, Zhou Wenhua stood up and replied, "I can do anything."

"Is coffee okay?"

Just drank a cup of coffee, if I drink more, it will be difficult to sleep tonight.

Zhou Wenhua found a teacup in front of the old man, and he asked, "Is there any tea?"

"Yes, there is green tea."

"Then please give me a cup of green tea, thank you."

"Yes."

The helper returned to the kitchen to make tea for Zhou Wenhua, when he turned around he found the old man staring at him.

"You still drink tea?"

"Yes."

"There are not many young people like you now."

The old man patted him on the shoulder and said with relief.

The old lady came out of the bedroom. She went to the kitchen and asked the servant who was making tea, "Jinghua, where is your uncle's chess?"

"If there isn't one here, it should be at Bomundong's house, Auntie, didn't we take too many things when we moved?"

"That's right, it's at Bomendong's house."

The old lady came out and said, "Husband, chess is at home in Bomun-dong, and I didn't bring it with me when I moved."

"Why didn't you bring it here?"

The old man was spoiled, he asked with a displeased face.

"Haven't you played chess for many years? I thought you didn't need it, so I didn't bring it here."

The old lady explained.

"Jinghua, you can drive to get it for me now."

The old man's chess addiction was aroused, and he couldn't wait to play two tricks with Zhou Wenhua.

"It's getting dark now, let's go get it tomorrow. Besides, Jinghua has bad eyesight. Have you forgotten what happened when she drove into a car last night?"

The old lady persuaded.

The old man seemed a little sullen, "Then let Xiyue go to Pumen Cave and bring me the chess pieces."

"I think you are really confused. How can Xiyue help you go to Bomundong to get chess in Daegu?"

"So what about Xinyuan?"

"Xinyuan is busy too."

The old lady's tone was full of helplessness.

"Then I'll get it myself."

With his hands on his knees, the old man stood up and said.

"How do you go by yourself, I ask you to stop for a while, can't you not play chess today?"

The old lady kept suffocating and said.

"Yeah, uncle, I'll get it for you tomorrow morning, can I?"

The maid brought the green tea and put it gently on the tea table in front of Zhou Wenhua, and then mixed hot water into the old man's teacup.

"Ok."

The old man took a long breath, he was mediating his unhappy mood.

In this atmosphere, Zhou Wenhua had no choice but to say with a dry smile, "Old man, let me play chess with you again tomorrow."
