The other members of the Han family were not very interested in playing chess, but they all gathered around because they wanted to see their sister-in-law's skills.
Before they started, Han Zheng suggested, "Today is New Year's Day, let's have some fun. Grandpa and Huaying will play chess. Let's have some prizes to liven things up."
"Okay."
Han Jue was the first to agree. He took out ten yuan from his trouser pocket and placed it in front of his grandfather. "Grandpa, I support you. Come on!"
Old Man Han smiled and patted his arm, "Grandpa will do his best."
The family members knew a little about the old man's chess skills. He had a 50-50 record when playing chess with those shrewd old men in Kyoto, and his chess skills had been well-developed. They all supported the old man and put money in front of him one by one.
Grandma Han also took out ten yuan to cheer her up, and placed it in front of her husband, saying to her granddaughter-in-law: "Huaying, it's not that grandma doesn't support you, it's to cheer up your grandfather."
Yun Huaying chuckled, her fighting spirit intensifying as she pointed at the pile of money in front of her grandfather and confidently said, "All of this will soon be mine."
"Ha ha..."
Han Zheng laughed heartily. He liked her confident and outspoken side. He bet all his belongings on her, "Huaying, I support you. Defeat Grandpa."
Old Man Han was very happy, "Huaying, come on."
"You start first."
Yunhuaying respects the old and loves the young, and lets the old generals give birth first.
The elder chose the black piece, and as soon as it was placed, Yun Huaying followed closely with a white piece without any hesitation.
"Why did you end up here?" Han Jue couldn't understand her intentions.
"Juezi, if your first move in chess is seen through, you will definitely lose the game." Yun Huaying said in an unfathomable tone.
"Too."
Han Jue agreed with this.
Next, the two of them sped up their moves. Every time the old man placed a chess piece firmly, Yun Huaying would follow closely behind without any hesitation or thought. It seemed as if he was placing the piece casually.
Those who couldn't understand thought she made her moves too casually, but those who did understand saw more and more clues, and all their heads turned to the chessboard.
"What's going on? Why are they all huddled together?"
When Li Suyao came back, she saw the whole family, men, women, young and old, gathered together. They were all very quiet, without even the sound of talking.
"Shh." Han Lin shushed her and whispered, "Grandpa and sister-in-law are playing chess. We just placed our bets, and they are watching and learning."
"I've placed a bet." Li Suyao said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law looks amazing."
Han Lin said with a grin, pointing to a stack of money in front of Grandpa, and whispered to her, "Except for my second brother, everyone else bet on Grandpa to win, but now it seems that the outcome is uncertain."
Seeing that the two people playing chess looked extremely serious and focused, Li Suyao did not say anything to disturb them, but turned around and went to pour tea.
Half an hour later, Han Jue spoke to determine the winner: "Grandpa lost."
When the white piece falls, the victory or defeat is determined.
Old Master Han lost but was not angry. His eyes were shining. Seeing Yun Huaying was about to put away the chessboard, he quickly stopped her and said, "Huaying, don't put it away yet. Let me take a good look at it."
Her chess moves were sharp and unconventional, unlike the thoughtful and cautious approach of their older generation. This game of chess gave him a long-lost sense of exhilaration and refreshment.
Han Zhangjiang hadn't taken his eyes off the chessboard just now, and every move was memorized in his mind. He also saw the subtlety of her chess playing. Now the father and son gathered together and started to communicate.
While they were chatting, Han Zheng took the wad of money from Grandpa and put it into his wife's pocket with a smile on his face. He also said to the others: "Next round, uncle will be in. Those who want to place bets, hurry up."
Grandpa lost, so my uncle must be in trouble.
However, in order to save face and suppress the arrogance of the second brother, they still paid money to bet on the uncle.
Han Zhangjiang smiled as he took the old man's seat. He had inherited the old man's true skills in chess and also enjoyed playing chess. Over the years, playing chess was his biggest hobby after work. He had a lot of experience fighting on the chessboard and was full of fighting spirit. "Huaying, come."
A new game started, and after five pieces were played, Yun Huaying could see that her uncle's strength should not be underestimated.
She then changed her tactics and no longer used the moves she had used against her grandfather. Her uncle's style of play was sharp and tricky, so this time she chose to be roundabout and use softness to overcome hardness.
The old man was a good student. When they started, he took out paper and pen and started copying down the notes like a good student. He planned to study it carefully later and have a good fight with the other old guys when he returned to Kyoto.
Another half hour passed, with all kinds of competition and fighting, and Yun Huaying narrowly won.
“Great!”
Han Zhangjiang was the first to applaud her.
"Not bad, not bad. Huaying's chess skills are really good." Old Master Han was also completely impressed.
Seeing that both the father and son were defeated by their grandson's wife, Grandma Han looked at her as if she were looking at a treasure. Neither of them was a well-educated person. They had earned their status and honor by fighting for their lives when they were young. To put it bluntly, it was a family of warriors.
The two elders actually also pay attention to the education of their children and grandchildren, but except for Bingyu who is a college student, the highest education level of other younger generations is high school. In terms of cultural level, they are much worse than the Yun family, a family with a scholarly background.
Now they are looking forward to their grandchildren improving their academic qualifications, marrying well-educated intellectuals, and changing the genes of the fourth generation of great-grandchildren of the Han family.
Yun Huaying is capable, excellent, and smart, with good academic performance. When the college entrance examination is resumed, she will definitely be able to be admitted to a prestigious university with her grades. She is definitely the most outstanding college student in the family. Grandma Han couldn't help but feel happy when she thought that Zhengzi's children in the future would inherit her intelligence and learn the Yun family's character and temperament.
No one else knew what grandma was thinking, and they all gathered around to listen to them talk about chess. Only Han Zheng was counting money with a smile on his face.
He can play chess, but he is not very good at it. Every time he plays chess with his grandfather and uncle, he always loses and almost never wins. Today, his wife helped him save face.
Seeing that he was grinning so hard that the corners of his mouth stretched to the back of his ears, Han Jue rolled his eyes and said, "Second brother, that's enough."
Han Zheng ignored him. He stood behind Yun Huaying, massaging her shoulders with both hands. He smiled and said, "Huaying, when Dad comes back, play another round with him and help me dampen his spirit."
Yun Huaying chuckled and patted the back of his hand. "Let your uncle teach you later. He's an excellent chess player. He's definitely a king in this field."
"Really?"
Mr. Han and his son were both surprised when they heard this, and they also made up their minds: "Shao Fan will come over tomorrow, and we will have a good fight with him."
Yun Shaofan is also a very low-key and introverted person. He seldom publicizes his skills and abilities to others. Except for those who have a particularly good relationship with him, no one else knows that he is proficient in chess. However, everyone who knows him praises him highly.
