Xu Zhihai won the first game and was in a very happy mood.

While eating, he took two sips of rice wine and began to talk more, "When playing Go, two people still have to face each other and can see each other's expressions. It is not only a competition of chess skills, but also a psychological battle."

Jiang You peeled off the crab claws again and agreed, "That's right."

"When playing chess online, the screen feels cold," Xu Zhihai shook his head. "It feels like you're not playing against a human, but against a machine."

"A few days ago, you insisted on me getting you a computer to play chess." Xu Jiaqi exposed Xu Zhihai's words.

She wears a gray-blue sweater, has long hair, and is slightly fat.

Xu Zhihai smiled twice, "The Internet also has its advantages. You can be exposed to different chess styles." He changed his words and said, "Xiao Jiang, you haven't played enough chess recently? I think your chess ability has declined."

"Yes, I've been busy taking care of my kids recently." He peeled two shrimps and ate them, then picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. "I'm still working on the yard. This time I asked a designer to come up with the drawings. I'll wait until they're done.

Please come over and take a look. When the sun is nice, it will be very comfortable to bask in the sun and play chess on the terrace."

Zhang Qiu took out the soup and put it on the table.

"Try this chicken soup. It contains water gluten stuffed with meat. The person who made this is my old neighbor. Several restaurants in Tangjiang City have specially ordered it from him. It is difficult to buy it in bulk."

Zhao Lijun, Liu Jun, and Jiang You each scooped up a bowl of soup.

Jiang You first took a sip of the soup, then tasted a piece of water gluten, and then ate another piece.

"Last time I went to your place, I didn't see your child." Xu Zhihai saw that Jiang You was eating happily, and he also scooped a bowl of soup, "I heard from others that you are very precious to him."

"Last time?" Jiang You thought for a moment, "He was playing games upstairs."

"Aren't you going to teach him how to play chess?"

"Taught him to play backgammon. He likes that kind of brightly colored game." Jiang You raised his head and looked at Zhao Lijun, "Where is your grandson? How is his Go learning going?"

"I found a professional 7 online and gave him guidance on chess. A game of chess costs 500 yuan. I think I can try to play chess in two years."

"Are you ready to become a professional chess player?"

"That's not true," Zhao Lijun picked up a piece of water spinach with chopsticks. "My son has some ideas, but my daughter-in-law doesn't agree. She thinks Go has no future."

"The world's number one has been defeated by AI," Xu Jiaqi's voice interrupted, "No one will learn Go in the future, right?"

"Chess has long been defeated by computers." Jiang You picked up a piece of fish. "People can't run on bicycles, cars, and trains. Are all runners unemployed? In the past, Go was too mysterious. Now look at it.

It just doesn’t have enough computing power.”

As he spoke, he scooped up another bowl of gluten soup.

"You like this soup," Xu Zhihai noticed his actions, "I still have two packs at home, take one back."

"I won't do it even if I take it back."

"Then what should you do with your meal now? Or should you order takeout?"

"yes."

"Children can't keep up with takeout because they can't keep up with their nutrition."

Zhao Lijun suggested, "Find an aunt to come over every day at noon to cook a few dishes for you and help you with your hygiene."

Jiang You finished the soup and nodded, "That's a good idea."

Zhang Qiu asked: "Shall I serve you a bowl of rice?"

"I'll do it myself..."

"I'm coming, I'm coming, you are guests."

Zhang Qiu quickly walked into the kitchen, and after a while, she came out with six bowls of rice.

Jiang You scooped some soup and mixed it with the rice, peeled a few shrimps, soaked the crab meat in a bowl, and then ate it slurpingly.

"I should bring your child over for dinner."

"He is introverted and afraid of strangers."

The doorbell rang.

Xu Jiaqi put down her chopsticks, and Zhang Qiu stood up first, walked to the intercom, confirmed her identity, and pressed the unlock button.

Then she opened the door.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps going upstairs.

A man in a dark blue jacket walked in carrying a bag of fruit.

He is Xu Zhihai’s student Zhang Lin.

"Teacher Xu, Aunt Zhang, Jiajia..."

"They are all Lao Xu's chess friends." Zhang Qiu took the fruit and introduced the identities of the others to him.

After the greetings, Zhang Qiu asked him, "Have you eaten yet?"

"have eaten."

"Then you sit on the sofa for a while."

Shortly after Zhang Lin sat down, Xu Jiaqi walked out of the dining room and sat down next to him.

Zhao Lijun and Liu Jun glanced at the sofa from time to time.

Zhao Lijun lowered his voice and said, "It looks like a good match."

Xu Zhihai didn't answer. He asked Jiang You: "Are you full? Shall we continue?"

Jiang You was pulling the last piece of ribs into his mouth. He chewed and said, "It's almost done."

Zhang Qiu smiled and asked, "Would you like to serve you another bowl of rice?"

"No, no, no, I'm full," he emphasized while looking into Zhang Qiu's eyes, "I'm really full, I'm full."

"Let's go then." Xu Zhihai stood up.

Xu Zhihai and Jiang You returned to the study. After closing the door, Zhao Zhijun said, "Your daughter likes it. Why do you have such a long face?"

Jiang You was black in this game.

He placed the chess piece in the upper right star position.

"At that time, there were several places in the department for going abroad. Going abroad ten years ago was different from what it is now. He was not on the list. I don't know how he did it, but he went out."

Liu Jun was a little curious, "Didn't you say before that he was from the countryside of Xinlong? What kind of energy could he have?"

"That's why I felt strange. The female student he pushed out was not in my class, and I didn't ask about it."

Liu Jun said: "It doesn't matter if you have means. Jiajia is too simple and has been in school all the time."

"Have you talked to your wife?" Zhao Lijun asked.

"I said she thought I was overthinking it, and she was worried about what Jia Jia would do if we were no longer together..."

Jiang You's black piece breaks into the white formation.

Xu Zhihai's expression became serious.

They stopped chatting.

In the afternoon, Jiang You won two games in a row.

Xu Zhihai said he wanted to take a rest. After walking out of the study, they saw that the dining table had been cleared, with a fruit plate and snacks placed on it.
