I go north, you go south

The two people surrounded by the center were sitting on a simple small table and a mat, staring at the chessboard for a moment.

Especially the thin middle-aged man on the side holding the sunspot. He was wearing a slightly worn gray cotton jacket, and a few strands of gray hair could be clearly seen in his hair under the dim light.He is frowning tightly now, thinking about how to break the mess in front of him.

This person is Xu Huan's father, Xu Jinchuan.

Perhaps because he was thinking too seriously, Xu Jinchuan didn't notice that there were two more people behind him at all.

"Dad, can you figure it out?" Seeing that his father hadn't moved for a long time, Xu Huan bent down and looked at the chessboard with him.

But I didn't want to, the sudden sound of her made Xu Jinchuan very frightened.

"My God, when did you come here?" Xu Jinchuan suddenly raised his head to look at Xu Huan, with a trace of astonishment that had not yet dissipated on his face.

The middle-aged man sitting across from him who looked about the same age as Xu Jinchuan was Lao Zhong. He was a colleague of Xu Jinchuan, and he was the only chess friend who was still willing to play chess with him every day.

When he saw Xu Huan coming, he quickly said as if he was about to be amnesty: "Old Xu, if you don't know the way to do it, forget it, go back with your daughter, and the provincial teacher Lin will scold you again."

After saying that, Lao Zhong immediately planned to leave.

"No, no, no, please sit down." Xu Jinchuan immediately took Lao Zhong's arm: "I can see this chess right away, what's the matter with you now!? You can't let you win this afternoon, you come back and sit down."

Xu Jinchuan held on to the old clock to prevent him from leaving, and he had to stare at the chessboard to see what the trick was.It seems that if he doesn't win this game of chess, he doesn't plan to go back today.

However, Lao Zhong, who was pulled by him and refused to let go, had a look of lovelessness on his face.

"Hey, Old Xu, you've come here for so many games, and you say you'll come up with each one right away, but you can't do without one. When did you become a head?"

Old Zhong sighed unbearably, and turned his gaze to Xu Huan: "Xiao Huan, hurry up and find a way to bring your father back. Recently, your mother has a bad temper, and your father forced me to play chess all day long. If I go back late, your aunt Cen will have to scold me. I really don't want to go into the muddy water of your house again."

"Old Zhong, what are you talking about!?"

When Xu Jinchuan heard that Lao Zhong started complaining to his daughter, he immediately became unhappy: "When you and Cen Ning quarreled and got divorced, our family Shuwen was the one who negotiated a divorce. Now you come to play two games of chess with me and talk about it for a long time, really."

"Well, according to what you said, it was Mr. Lin who helped me persuade my wife. Should I be on Mrs. Lin's side?" Lao Zhong was not to be outdone: "Then I advise you to go back immediately."

"Hey, you're still alive"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xu Huan hurried up to smooth things over: "Hey, hey, two old comrades, you can't do this after so many years of friendship, it hurts too much."

"Xiao Huan, come and help your dad!" Xu Jinchuan slapped the table, "I must make your uncle Zhong feel convinced."

"How can I play chess!?" Xu Huan was shocked.

"I don't care, anyway, you can't watch your father get angry with me, can you?" Xu Jinchuan simply made a child's temper.

"Xiaohuan, look, I didn't mean your dad, he just doesn't grow up."

Having said that, Lao Zhong raised his finger and pointed to Xu Jinchuan quite speechlessly.
