So, before they knew it, the two were locked in a fierce battle, and when the old ladies returned from their shopping trip, the game was still undecided.
"You're finally back! They've been sitting like that for almost an hour, my eyes are getting tired." Seeing that someone had finally returned, he could finally speak. During that hour, seeing how focused they were, he hadn't dared to say a word for a while.
"Has it been going on for so long? Who won and who lost?" After putting down what she was holding and walking over to them, the women watched for two minutes and then said, "Never mind, it's getting late, let's go cook."
A few minutes later, as Ruan Ruan finally found an opportunity and placed a piece, Grandpa Gu finally found a weakness, and the hour-long game of chess finally came to an end. Ruan Ruan lost to her grandfather by half a piece.
"Thank you for your mercy, Grandpa."
"Alright, you little brat, you deliberately lost to me by half a point at the end, otherwise, this game would have been a draw. You said you were going easy on me, do you think I can't see through you? Do you think I'm your grandpa? This old man can afford to lose!"
Grandpa Gu didn't think he had won. On the contrary, Ruan Ruan deliberately lost to him by half a point, which showed that her chess skills were superb, even better than his.

Huo Songhuai was skilled at chess, and at home, the old man would fight fiercely with her. How could he possibly lose today? However, just as the old man said, he didn't say much. He understood the plea for help in his daughter's words, so he followed his lead.
"Okay, let's take a look together in a bit."
After dinner, Ruan Ruan's grandmother and maternal grandmother talked about the things to pay attention to when going to the girl's family in the capital to propose marriage. Then they looked at the things they had bought in the morning, which were mostly food and supplements. They also wanted to buy some clothes and shoes for the girl, but they didn't know the girl's size. It would be embarrassing if they bought something that didn't fit.
So, in the afternoon, Ruan Ruan took her parents to browse the Overseas Chinese Store.
Then I bought a new outfit for each of the two girls. As the younger sister-in-law, Ruan Ruan also bought each of them a pair of little leather boots, which they can wear in winter.
After everything was prepared, Ruan Ruan spent the rest of her time taking her parents sightseeing around the capital, waiting for them to arrive.
