Chapter 64 It’s hard for someone like you to find a wife!

"I feel quite bored. I sleep and eat all day long. How can I not be bored? Don't you have any entertainment activities here?" Is there nothing else to do besides eating and sleeping?

Huo Jianguo said he didn't understand: "What is entertainment?"

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Mei's question about "you guys here", and thought that Su Mei's "you guys here" referred to the military compound.

"That is..." Su Mei thought for a moment before speaking in a way that Huo Jianguo could understand: "For example, playing games, playing mahjong, watching TV, singing, reading, these all count."

"Don't talk nonsense." Huo Jianguo glanced at Su Mei nervously, then looked outside and said coldly, "Why are you still so aggressive? You will be shot if you play mahjong, and you dare to talk nonsense!"

"Oh, I forgot!" Su Mei hadn't thought much about it, but when she heard Huo Jianguo's reminder, she remembered that the social unrest in the 1970s was severe, and Greater China had very strict control over all aspects of the entertainment industry.

Playing mahjong is not allowed in public places. I heard that there were even people who were mass-shot for gathering together to dance socially...

During such a sensitive period, there are some things that cannot be mentioned.

Huo Jianguo even broke out in a cold sweat just after Su Mei mentioned it: "Luckily I'm the only one who heard this today, if it was someone else you'd be in big trouble.

I can cover everything else for you, but you can’t say a word more about these things.”

"I know I was wrong. I just forgot it for a moment!" Su Mei was also a little scared. This is indeed an era that requires one to be extra cautious in words and actions.

Don't eat too much, and don't talk nonsense.

Seeing Su Mei's fear, Huo Jianguo thought of the changes she had made, and suddenly softened his heart unconsciously:

"It's okay. Just remember this for the future and never mention it again.

If you really feel bored, you can read a book. Didn’t you say that reading is also entertainment? Aren’t there enough books in the house for you to read?"

"Reading?" Su Mei glanced at the books on the table. These books were divided into three major categories: one was geography, one was history, and the other was military science.

They were all liberal arts books, the kind that made Su Mei, a liberal arts reader, fall asleep after reading them. These books were even more boring than boredom itself. What was so interesting about them? "Forget it, just ignore me and let me be bored!"

This time she simply didn't move, and lay on the quilt bored, quietly waiting for the night.

Seeing Su Mei lying on the quilt with dull eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, Huo Jianguo suddenly felt a little bored.

The reason why he was not bored was that he regarded her busy life as fun.

Now that Su Mei stopped moving, his eyes suddenly lost contact.

It's quite boring.

After spending five minutes with Su Mei in a daze, Huo Jianguo suddenly had an idea and said to Su Mei with great interest:

"How about we play chess?"

Huo Jianguo thought, this should also be considered entertainment, right?

"What chess?" Su Mei was not interested. Playing chess was not fun, but it was a good way to kill time. Su Mei still asked:

"It's Gobang, Chinese chess, or Go. I know the first two, but not the last one."

"Neither, it's military chess." Huo Jianguo pointed to the desk and said, "There's a military chess set in the second drawer under the desk."

"I don't know how to do this either!" Su Mei became even less interested.

Unexpectedly, Huo Jianguo insisted on playing: "It's okay, take it out, I'll teach you!"

Although she found it boring, Su Mei finally got up and opened the second drawer of the desk as Huo Jianguo had instructed.

You have to do something before the sky turns dark.

There was indeed a military flag in the drawer. She sat on the kang with the chess piece and placed it in front of Huo Jianguo.

Huo Jianguo explained the general rules to Su Mei, and then began to teach her as he went down.

At first Su Mei had no interest. As time went on, she was always defeated by Huo Jianguo, which actually aroused some desire to win.

Competitive people don't like to admit defeat.

It was no use refusing to admit defeat. No matter how hard Su Mei tried, she still couldn't get any advantage in front of Huo Jianguo, the veteran.

Games are only interesting if there are wins and losses. If you keep losing, it will become boring.

After being defeated by Huo Jianguo for the last time, Su Mei threw away the chess piece in her hand in frustration:

"Huo Jianguo, you don't even know how to let go. It's hard for someone like you to find a wife."
