Chapter 347 An Everyday Day
The spring breeze was blowing gently as Jiang Chen and Wang Guoping played chess. Ye Rou moved a round stone stool and sat behind Jiang Chen. She played chess with Jiang Chen using her right hand and could only flip through her notes with her left hand, and her movements were a bit clumsy.
Zhou Yuqing was wandering around the yard with a pen and a notebook. Little Huihui seemed to find it interesting and followed him around the yard.
Liu Yutang was looking through the dried herbs and was annoyed that he was dizzy from wandering around, so he called out to him, "What are you busy with?"
"I want to build a pavilion in this yard."
Zhou Yuqing didn't come up with this idea suddenly.
He lived in Suzhou for a period of time when he was young and was particularly fond of Suzhou's garden architecture. Through clever layout, the landscape became a part of the building, and nature and architecture were integrated into a harmonious, natural, compact and exquisite design.
The scenery of this courtyard was arranged by him after he came to Beijing. In the small pond, there are fat frogs that he exchanged from Xiao Huihui's mouth for a chicken leg, as well as several round and delicate red-tailed carps.
But these are still too monotonous. The yard itself is not small, but with so many people living there, the space needed is naturally not small either.
Liu Yutang wanted to dry the medicinal herbs, Wang Guoping needed a place to dry his dried fish, and Zheng Zhiyuan's stone table for playing chess also took up a large area. Naturally, there was not much space left for the scenery in the yard, and naturally there was no room for him to show off.
But it's okay now.
The yard next door was taken back. Jiang Xiaozi said that there were many people living in their yard, so they would open up this wall to expand to the other side.
As the yard becomes bigger, it naturally needs to be designed well.
Liu Yutang saw Zhou Yuqing jumping up and down and shook his head.
He couldn't understand Zhou Yuqing's idea. In his opinion, it was just a waste of time.
It would be great if the yard was clean and bright, but you had to dig a pond to raise fish.
The fish in this pond are harder to take care of than people. They die easily. I bought twenty fish, and now only the Xitiao is dead.
Zhou Yuqing asked him to treat his fish, but he was a Chinese medicine doctor, not a veterinarian, and he didn't know how to treat fish at all. Zhou Yuqing even looked down on him in front of him, and he got angry when he thought about it.
Liu Yutang made up his mind that once the yard next door was cleaned up, he would live in a separate yard and let Zhou Yuqing do whatever he wanted.
Seeing Liu Yutang shaking his head with a look of disapproval, Zhou Yuqing became anxious.
The two old men started arguing with each other.
Ye Rou leaned against Jiang Chen, feeling drowsy in the sun, when the two old men suddenly started arguing, waking her up.
She yawned lazily, did not try to stop the fight, and lay on Jiang Chen's shoulder, hugged his neck, and watched him play chess with Grandpa Wang.
Jiang Chen's back was bent due to the pressure, and his left hand naturally supported Ye Rou, letting her press on him.
On the rosewood chess table, black and white chess pieces are fighting against each other.
"Who wins and who loses?"
Ye Rou rested her chin on Jiang Chen's shoulder and whispered in Jiang Chen's ear.
Jiang Chen tilted his head to look at her.
Ye Rou's hair was messy from sleeping, and there were some red marks on her face. Her little face was pink and white, and she lay softly on Jiang Chen, with a faint fragrance that was alluring.
Jiang Chen's narrow eyes showed some smiles, and he teased her: "Guess?"
Ye Rou was not troubled by him, and her already soft voice was lowered, becoming even sweeter.
"I guess you're going to win, am I right?"
She raised her little face, with an expression as if asking her how she guessed it.
Jiang Chen happily cooperated with her, "How did you guess that?"
Ye Rou thought his reaction was exaggerated, but she still explained it to Jiang Chen. She covered her mouth and whispered, "Grandpa Wang's face darkened."
She knew nothing about Go, so she naturally couldn't tell who was winning or losing from the pieces, but analyzing facial expressions was her strong point.
Grandpa Wang held the chess piece in his hand, his face full of bitterness and hatred. This expression did not look like he was going to win.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right." Jiang Chen chuckled softly and handed the warm white chess piece in his hand to Ye Rou. "Your trophy."
Ye Rou curved her eyes, took the chess piece with a smile, and was about to give a "thank you speech" for winning the award.
The mute woman came in and gestured to her: Someone wants to see you.
Ye Rou's "highlight moment" was interrupted. She wrinkled her nose and stood up reluctantly.
Seeing Jiang Chen was about to leave, Wang Guoping became anxious and no longer hesitated, and made the black move.
"The game isn't over yet, Jiang boy, don't even think about running away."
Jiang Chen placed the white chess piece down and said calmly, "I win."
He stood up and took Ye Rou away.
Wang Guoping stared at the last white chess piece he placed, and said with some regret, "I shouldn't have played here."
Zhou Yuqing laughed at him, "You lost, but you're still being stubborn."
Wang Guoping refused to admit defeat and said, "Today I persisted for almost half an hour before I lost."
Liu Yutang then stabbed in the back, saying, "That's because Xiaorou fell asleep leaning against Jiang kid, so he showed mercy to you."
Wang Guoping had to admit that they were right.
"The disciple is better than the master."
——
Seeing that the person coming was Jiang Weiguo, Ye Rou said excitedly: "Brother Jiang, you have worked hard and made such a trip."
"It's a small matter."
Jiang Weiguo glanced at their handcuffed hands and looked at Jiang Chen with a strange expression.
Seeing that Jiang Chen's expression showed no joy and seemed to be unwelcome to him, Jiang Weiguo snorted, not wanting to let Jiang Chen get his wish.
He took out his keys and took the handcuffs.
Ye Rou lightened her wrist, her joyful expression showing no sign of subsiding.
Jiang Chen's expression became even more unhappy, and he took his anger out on Jiang Weiguo, "The key has been delivered, you can leave now."
Jiang Weiguo was shocked by his attitude of getting rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose.
He rolled his eyes and sat down on the nearest chair.
If you want him to leave, he won't leave.
"Someone wants to see Ye Rou."
Ye Rou looked bewildered: "Who is it?"
Jiang Weiguo went out and brought the person in.
Seeing the person following Jiang Weiguo, Ye Rou said with some surprise: "Uncle Gu, we meet again."
Gu Xue smiled and nodded.
Jiang Chen's expression softened a little when he saw the person.
Thanks to him for reporting the news, Jiang Chen was able to find Ye Rou. He did not shout to drive her away, and even asked the mute woman to serve tea.
Gu Xue glanced at the vicious-looking old woman, then looked at the tall, handsome, sinister man, and felt strange.
He spoke more cautiously again, without first explaining the purpose of his trip, and first concerned about Ye Rou's health.
