The next second after Liu Cong finished writing the couplet, the family was shocked beyond words.

Especially Zhang Guimei, in her memory she had never enrolled Liu Cong in a calligraphy class.

It was incredible to her that Liu Cong could learn calligraphy and write so well.

"Son, when did you learn calligraphy?" Zhang Guimei asked curiously.

Hearing his mother ask this, Liu Cong slowly placed the brush in his hand next to the inkstone, looked at the couplets on the table where the ink had not yet dried, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"I have nothing to do at school to practice."

Liu Jianguo next to him couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard Liu Cong say this.

I thought to myself: What else is this grandson hiding from him?

"Can you get like this with just a little practice?" Liu Yang asked from the side.

As a professor in the Chinese Department of Yenching University, he has read many calligraphers' works.

He thinks that Liu Cong's couplet has been written very well, although it is still far behind professionals.

Liu Cong watched the family look at him with surprised eyes, spread his hands helplessly, and then said: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it?"

"Grandpa, am I great?" Liu Cong turned to his grandfather and said.

Liu Jianguo looked at the couplet written by his grandson and was a little lost. Then he nodded slightly and said, "You are great, but I, the old man, lost."

What a face-saving person Liu Jianguo is, it is obvious to all the family.

Now he actually admitted that Liu Cong was great in front of his family, which was undoubtedly a slap in his face.

Liu Yang saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward at this time, and immediately came over to adjust the atmosphere.

"Dad, I will post the couplet you wrote later."

"There are still dumplings that haven't been made yet. Mom can't make so many by herself. Why don't you two go and help?"

Hearing what Liu Yang said, the two looked at each other and then nodded.

Just like that, the three people at the table were making dumplings, and Liu Yang was pasting the couplet Liu Jianguo had just written outside the door.

Because Zhang Guimei was still injured, although she could now walk alone, Liu Yang refused to allow her to move, so she had to sit on the sofa alone and watch.

Soon it was noon, and all the preparations for the home were completed.

Because everyone had eaten too much in the morning, and because they were not hungry at noon, they casually ate dumplings.

Taking advantage of the empty bed in the afternoon, Liu Yang and Li Xiulan cleaned every corner of the room again.

Liu Cong and Liu Jianguo in the living room are still playing Go.

And Zhang Guimei is often amused by her two living treasures, her grandfather and grandson, who make her laugh out loud.

"No more playing, no more playing, it's not interesting at all." Liu Jianguo said angrily.

Seeing his grandfather like this, Liu Cong couldn't help but feel a little distressed. This Chinese New Year guy still made him angry.

But Liu Cong looked back and thought about what his grandfather had done to him. Looking at his grandfather's expression, he felt happy again.

"Grandpa, we're only halfway through the chess game, haven't we lost yet?" Liu Cong said to Liu Jianguo.

Liu Jianguo became even more angry when he saw Liu Cong's proud look.

"You've got me surrounded. It's only a matter of time whether we lose or not."

"I'm an old man who traveled thousands of miles to come to Peiping. I'm so lucky that I don't enjoy it, but I'm angry because I'm full."

"No more playing, no more playing."

Liu Jianguo stood up and was about to walk towards the sofa. Liu Cong saw this and grabbed Liu Jianguo.

"Grandpa, if you're celebrating the New Year, don't be angry. You'll be in bad health if you're angry."

"How about I teach you how to play chess?"

Liu Cong took Liu Jianguo's hand and looked at him sincerely.

Upon hearing that his grandson was going to teach him how to play chess, Liu Jianguo became excited again.

"You asked me to play chess, can you do it?" Liu Jianguo said with some doubt.

But compared to the first few days after arriving, Liu Jianguo's attitude towards his grandson has softened a lot now, and he admires his grandson more and more from the bottom of his heart.

"Have you ever won chess with me?" Liu Cong asked.

Liu Jianguo looked at Liu Cong and shook his head honestly.

"Come on, keep going!"

…………

The lanterns are on and night falls.

At this time, the round table was filled with a variety of dishes.

There are beef pot, mutton pot, twice-cooked pork, braised fish...

Liu Yang was very happy to see his family reunited and took out the Maotai liquor that he had collected for many years from the wine cabinet at home.

Liu Cong looked at the bottle of wine with the mouth sealed with wax and the wrapping paper had turned yellow. He knew that this bottle of Moutai was many years old.

Liu Jianguo, who saw the bottle of Maotai wine, spoke.

"Son, is this the bottle of wine I gave you twenty years ago? Why are you still keeping it now?"

Liu Yang was a little surprised to hear that his father still remembered this bottle of wine.

"Dad, how do you know? This bottle is what you gave me at that time."

"There are three bottles in total, and there are still two bottles left. I have never been willing to drink them."

After receiving confirmation from his son, Liu Jianguo laughed heartily.

"I sealed the wax on this wine bottle. I am the only one who knows how to do this."

"I still have many bottles of old wine at home, and I have been reluctant to drink them."

Liu Jianguo took the Maotai handed over by Liu Yang and played with it repeatedly.

"Boy, can you drink it?" Liu Jianguo looked at Liu Cong and said provocatively.

Seeing Liu Jianguo's provocative look, Liu Cong's desire to win was instantly aroused again.

"Yes, how can we not? I'm afraid that by then, this bottle won't be enough for us to drink."

Li Xiulan and Zhang Guimei on the side couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw the grandfather and grandson having an argument at the dinner table again.

"Boy, let me tell you, your grandfather was also a top scorer in science."

"Although your father studied literature, he is now a professor of the Chinese Department of Yenching University. Why are you so unworthy?"

Liu Jianguo's cheeks were slightly red, and he pointed at Liu Cong and said.

Liu Cong had just drank two taels of Moutai and was already tipsy. When he saw his grandfather, he said that of course he would fight back.

"Grandpa, I told you the other day, you just didn't believe me that I was promoted from junior college to bachelor's degree and went to Huaqing University."

"Ha! If you can go to Huaqing University from junior college to bachelor's degree, I can build a photolithography machine."

"Young man, don't brag all the time. You should still think about how to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

Just as Liu Cong and Liu Jianguo were arguing fiercely, a loud noise instantly attracted the attention of the whole family.
