Zhang Qiu greeted them and sat down around the dining table.

Jiang You reached out and took out a small piece of honey cake.

Soft and soft, with just the right amount of sweetness and a slight burnt flavor.

Zhang Qiu made tea for them again.

A sip of fruit tea, a bite of cake, and another piece of fruit.

"Is it delicious?" Xu Zhihai asked.

"It's so delicious." Jiang You praised sincerely.

"Take a few pieces back, the kids like to eat."

"I came here and I didn't have enough to eat, so I took it from home. I'm so embarrassed."

After having afternoon tea, Xu Zhihai felt that after playing three games of chess, his brain power was a bit unable to keep up, so he said he would take a nap for half an hour.

Jiang You looked at the five empty cake cups in front of him. He touched his stomach and felt that the food was stuck in his esophagus. "Then I will go for a walk to relieve my appetite."

Liu Jun said: "I will go too."

After walking downstairs, Liu Jun took out a pack of cigarettes. After pulling out one, he handed it to Jiang You, "Mr. Xu really likes you. If you get older, he will definitely chase you to become his son-in-law."

"Then you will pick your nose and eyes, and you won't like it." Jiang You took the cigarette, "It's also a hit."

"Yes," Liu Jun laughed, "that Zhang Lin, I think he wants to use his connections to get into college."

"The relationship between teachers and students is normal. It's normal to help."

"You don't know the secrets inside..." Liu Jun took a puff of cigarette, "Mr. Xu is very popular in college. As long as he treats Jiajia well and has some purpose, I think it's okay. He's not a young girl in his early twenties.

Right?"

"It's not necessarily true. There were few divorces in the past, but now even if you have children, you will still divorce."

"That's true. In the past, it was really a big deal for someone to get divorced in the workplace," Liu Jun lamented. "It's not easy for you to raise a child by yourself."

"It's okay."

After walking out of the community and walking around the streets outside the community, Mr. Xu was already awake when he walked back.

"Come on, let's continue!"

"Come on, come on," Jiang You changed into his slippers and walked into the study.

"Xiao Jiang, your official career is too low." Zhao Lijun looked at the chess records of the previous three games.

"I can't calculate clearly. My brain hurts when I do it." Jiang You sat down at the desk. He looked at the bookshelf full of books and said, "I also transformed the small living room into a study room.

I don’t read physical books very much, the shelves are empty.”

"What type do you like?" Xu Zhihai asked.

"It's not bad. I read a book about food two years ago. It seemed to be about all the fragrances in the world: I really wanted to try it. I read two pages every night before going to bed, and then got up and cooked instant noodles. It took me half a year to read it.

Finish that book."

Zhao Lijun looked at Jiang You's belly and said, "Your belly needs to be reduced. It wasn't so obvious last time."

"I've lost some weight a while ago. I don't know what's going on lately and I don't want to move." He glanced at the blue sky outside the window. "And the workers in the yard are also keeping an eye on me."

"Then it doesn't matter if you come over to play chess today, right?" Xu Zhihai asked.

"It's almost done. It'll be fine for a day."

They started playing chess.

After playing two games in a row, Jiang You won one and lost one.

Xu Zhihai rubbed his temples, "I can't do it anymore. I can't do it today. I'm getting older. When I was young, I spent several nights checking information and writing papers. I can't do it now."

"I also feel a little headache. Let's seal it today and continue next time."

Zhao Lijun said: "Then it won't rain tomorrow?"

Xu Zhihai waved his hand to Zhao Lijun, "I can't do it anymore, my head is swollen and my eyes are swollen."

"It's the next day. It's hard for a professional chess player to play five games in one day. Moreover, Mr. Xu plays chess seriously and thinks carefully."

They walked out of the study and sat on the sofa for a while.

"Shall we have a simple meal here tonight?" Zhang Qiu asked.

"I'm going back," Zhao Lijun stood up, "My grandson is coming for dinner tonight."

"I'm going back too," Liu Jun stood up, "call us again next time you continue."

"Xiao Jiang, you want something to eat, right?" Xu Zhihai asked.

"Eat, eat."

Shortly after sending Zhao Lijun and Liu Jun away, Xu Jiaqi and Zhang Lin returned.

Zhang Qiu was a little surprised, "You didn't have dinner out?"

"There's nothing delicious." Xu Jiaqi's expression was obviously a little angry.

Zhang Qiu asked Zhang Lin with his eyes.

Zhang Lin explained: "There are too many people queuing up at the store Jiajia wants to go to. Even if you get your number in advance, you still have to wait in line for more than two hours."

Zhang Qiu nodded.

In the evening, Zhang Qiu prepared four dishes and one soup for the five of them, and made noodles with chicken soup for them.

"I won three games today. In the last game, if I hadn't ignored the white chess piece in the upper right corner, I could have won four games today." After eating half a bowl of noodles, Xu Zhihai's energy was up again.

"Want to play Go?" Zhang Lin asked.

Xu Zhihai nodded, "We played Shiban chess. Wu Qingyuan relied on Shiban chess to demote all the Japanese masters at that time."

“What is demotion?”

"That is, if I lose, in the future when I play chess with Mr. Xu, we will not win first, but first," Jiang You explained to Zhang Lin, "That is, in the three games of chess, the first and third games

I held black in the third round and white in the second round."

Zhang Lin nodded and asked again: "What's the point?"

"This is a status symbol. From now on, Mr. Xu will be the one to take action, and I will be the one to take action. Of course, if I win, it will be the other way around."

"They are just playing around," Xu Jiaqi bit into her noodles, "Don't take it seriously."

Jiang You smiled and picked up a chopstick of shredded celery and pork.

"How did you and Teacher Xu meet?" Zhang Lin asked Jiang You.

"We met in the tea room. I was sitting in a daze drinking tea that day. Mr. Xu came over with chess pieces and asked me if I knew how to play chess."

"Are you good at chess?"

"About 18k." Jiang You replied.

"What's 18k, at least Ye 3." Xu Zhihai rectified Jiang You's name.

Jiang You smiled.

"How long will it take for your yard to be completed?" Xu Zhihai asked.

"It's almost there," Jiang You thought for a while, "The project will be completed at the beginning of next month. I'm going to do the green planting part myself. I will go to Wenbing Mountain next month to soak in a hot spring and take a look.

Can you bring back some leaf mold?"

"It's troublesome to get leaf mold."

Jiang You nodded, "Let's give it a try. If you can't get it, just buy nutritional soil online."

"This season, it's good to soak in hot springs." Xu Zhihai said.

Zhang Lin thought for a while and said, "I have a friend whose hot spring hotel is located over Wen Bingshan. Teacher Xu, let's go together?"

"You and Jiajia go ahead. We are old and soaking in water that is too hot is not good for our cardiovascular system."

Zhang Lin looked in the direction of Xu Jiaqi.

Xu Jiaqi asked: "Is it a natural hot spring?"

"It's natural."

"How many pools are there? Are there many people?"

"He runs a boutique hotel and provides services to high-end customers."

"It's so good," Jiang You took a sip of the noodle soup, "Which restaurant is it? Is it too late to make a reservation now?"

"Let me ask for you."
