Chapter 268 The summer solstice has not yet arrived(1/3)
After getting off the car, you need to walk the rest of the way.
Different from the bustling traffic outside, the further you go inside, the more you feel as if you have traveled through time and space and returned to the past.
There are many scenery that Zhang Mingyang has only seen on TV before, but this is the first time he sees them now.
"Actually, you don't need to buy anything, they just want to see you." Liu Shuhe said.
This aunt seems to like to change her mind at the last minute.
Even though he said he had something to do and couldn't leave, he went to the airport for a surprise inspection.
Just now, he said that he would treat the two of them to dinner, and now he brought them to his parents' house, that is, Xia Xingruo's grandparents' house.
As soon as he got off the bus, Zhang Mingyang felt something was wrong.
After hearing Liu Shuhe express his thoughts, he secretly thought that it was true.
The last time he went to his future father-in-law's house, he didn't bring anything with him.
Now when he came to Sister Ruoruo's grandparents' house, he was still empty-handed.
A son-in-law as awesome as him is definitely rare now.
Should the next step be to consider asking the mother-in-law to light up a cigarette?
In fact, it’s not impossible to ask my aunt to order.
Speaking of which, every time Liu Shuhe was called "aunt", he had a strange feeling.
He has many aunts, but no aunts.
When he was a child, he was very confused and asked his mother why he didn't have an aunt. Did his aunt pass away?
Then he was beaten.
On the way, he told this childhood experience, and even Liu Shuhe couldn't help laughing.
"Your aunt is living well now."
After telling this joke, Zhang Mingyang clearly felt that Liu Shuhe's hostility towards him had reduced a lot.
In fact, it was not hostility at all, but concern for Xia Xingruo, so he was vigilant.
On the way, she actually said those very classic words.
"I feel like yesterday I was the same kid who fought with me every day, and now I'm back with my boyfriend."
This was the first time she acknowledged the identity of Zhang Mingyang's boyfriend in her words. Just now she had been calling him "the godfather of online dating."
"Then when will aunt find a boyfriend?" Xia Xingruo teased.
"Besides, I'll ask my best friends to work hard and raise their sons well. I'll wait for them."
Along the way, Zhang Mingyang discovered that although Xia Xingruo and Liu Shuhe were different in generation, they seemed to get along like two sisters.
As a junior, Xia Xingruo often makes small jokes, joking that her aunt is not as good as herself and why she hasn't found a boyfriend yet.
While chatting, the three of them walked through several alleys and finally stopped in front of a gate.
This door is no different from the ones next to it. It exudes a simple atmosphere, and the cracks on the door seem to be able to lock in time.
When Xia Xingruo and Liu Shuhe stopped in front of them, Zhang Mingyang knew that he had arrived.
He subconsciously adjusted his sleeves and corrected his attitude.
Before he was ready, Liu Shuhe opened the door and walked in.
"Mom and Dad, I brought someone back."
Before entering the door, Xia Xingruo stood next to Zhang Mingyang and silently held his hand.
"Are you afraid that I will get lost?" Zhang Mingyang asked knowingly.
"Well, I'm afraid you'll get lost."
After saying that, the two walked hand in hand into the quaint courtyard house in front of them.
As soon as Zhang Mingyang entered the door, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
The small courtyard is square in shape, with a few small trees planted in the middle, giving it a sense of age.
He immediately took a fancy to it and wondered why he hadn't been reborn in the last century, otherwise he would have bought one.
But he was only five or six years old at that time and had no ability to buy one.
"My eldest grandson is back, come in quickly!"
As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a very kind-looking old woman.
Behind the old woman stood a thin old man with a straight back.
Time has not been able to bend his back.
He was originally expressionless, but after seeing Xia Xingruo, a smile finally appeared on his face.
"This is Ruoruo's boyfriend, I brought him here for you." Liu Shuhe patted Zhang Mingyang on the shoulder and said.
Zhang Mingyang also took advantage of the opportunity to say hello: "Hello, grandpa and grandma, my name is Zhang Mingyang."
"Hello, hello, come in and sit down!"
The expected vigilance and questioning did not appear.
Grandma warmly welcomed them in, and even Grandpa had a smile on his face, which did not match his resolute face at all.
Perhaps because they were related by another generation, even his grandson-in-law liked him.
Several people walked into the small courtyard, and the old man quickly brought stools and asked them to sit down.
"You guys have some tea first. The food will be ready soon."
After Xia Xingruo sat down, a fat orange cat jumped out of nowhere and circled around her feet.
"Nannan, why are you fat again?"
It took a lot of effort for her to pick the cat up from the ground and put it in her arms.
Zhang Mingyang also wanted to touch the fat orange, but the grandfather beside him suddenly said: "Can you play chess?"
Without even thinking about it, these words must have been spoken to him. The old man would never ask his daughter or granddaughter if they knew how to play chess.
"I know a little bit." Zhang Mingyang responded.
He didn't have much exposure to chess, but he used to watch old men playing chess in the community.
As the saying goes, if you can't compose poetry, you can still recite it. If you read a lot, you will know a little bit about it. It is absolutely no problem to coax the elderly to play.
Grandpa took out the chess set and Zhang Mingyang followed suit.
"Don't mess with my dad by looking for a chess app on your phone. If you win, you'll say you were playing on your phone and not paying attention." Liu Shuhe said with a smile.
"Our Yangyang family is very well-behaved, okay? How could he be like you?" Xia Xingruo stood by and defended her boyfriend.
"How am I doing? I am a young man using high technology rationally." Liu Shuhe curled his lips.
Hearing this, Zhang Mingyang wanted to complain, but in the end he held back.
Co-author, you have played like this before!
A weapon to defeat the old chess player, a master-level computer.
When playing chess, you hold your mobile phone and the computer makes one move, and you make one move.
After you win, you can taunt and say, "I'm not serious yet."
It will definitely leave an indelible shadow on the hearts of old men.
However, Zhang Mingyang really didn't intend to do this. Losing was a normal thing and he just treated the old man as happy. He had not yet reached the point of competing with an old man to win or lose.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That was what he thought at first, but his grandfather’s few words began to make him doubt his life.
"You don't want to show off like this, you can't jump like this."
Actually it doesn't.
"No, no, I was distracted just now. Give me back and take another step."
Forget it, just give in one step.
"Your rook has taken all my rooks. If we are playing against each other, you have to take it too."
How come even the military flag rules have appeared!
"I was just preoccupied with drinking tea, so I wasn't serious..."
In the end, the old man lost.
Zhang Mingyang is really not good at chess, but he didn't expect anyone to be worse than him.
The two of them were playing chess like novices pecking each other.
Liu Shuhe, who was sitting aside to watch the show, was already laughing so hard.
"Now you know why none of us want to play chess with my dad!"
