Su Aimin was stunned. "What chess?"
"Chess, of course."
"I know a little bit." Su Aimin said uncertainly. When he was a child, Su Dalin had a chess set that he had picked up before. He didn't know how to play chess very well, so Su Aimin followed him all day long to figure out how to play chess. By accident, he did learn a little bit.
"But I only know a little bit." Su Aimin scratched his head, "Uncle Wu, why don't we just forget it? I'm afraid my performance will be too bad and you won't find it interesting."
No? Wu Chengcang's eyes lit up. He just wanted him to be good. If Su Aimin was too good at chess, he wouldn't want to play with him.
"Come on, next game." Wu Chengcang couldn't wait to take out the chess pieces.
Wu Xiangdong understood his grandfather's thoughts very well, and immediately smiled helplessly. With the old man's current level, it was really not easy to find someone with chess skills that were "equal" to his.
Obedience is worse than respect, so Su Aimin had no choice but to sit down and look at the chessboard. He muttered softly, "How do I play it? What's the first move?"
Su Qingyun touched and covered her face. Her father was really not very good.
Wu Chengcang's eyes sparkled, "Xiao Su, you are a promising talent! Uncle will teach you how to play chess." It was so rare that he would have the chance to teach others how to play chess.
Wu Chengcang perked up and began to teach Su Aimin how to play chess seriously.
"The first move in chess is usually..."
Su Aimin listened carefully.
One of them dared to teach and the other dared to learn. The other three watched from the side and couldn't help laughing at their interaction.
After a few games, Su Aimin gradually understood the specific rules. He smiled, a little embarrassed, and said, "After all these years, this is the first time I know how to play chess."
Wu Chengcang was also very surprised. He looked at him and exclaimed, "This young man is teachable."
But after two more rounds, he gradually stopped laughing.
"Check." Su Aimin pushed a chess piece forward, directly checking Wu Chengcang's army. He scratched his head, unable to believe it. "I won?"
Wu Xiangdong looked at his father's face, the smile gradually disappearing, and tried hard to suppress his laughter. "Yes, you win."
Wu Chengcang looked at the chessboard in silence for a long time, then gnashed his teeth at Su Aimin and said, "You are truly a rare talent!"
Su Aimin, who always knew how to read people's expressions, immediately shrank his neck. "No, no, I just said I can't play it well. Uncle Wu, how about we not play it anymore?"
"No, try again!" He didn't believe that someone who just learned to play chess could beat him. This time it must be luck!
Another twenty minutes later, Wu Chengcang quietly cleared the chessboard and said, "That's all for today's game. Let's call it a day."
Su Qingyun smiled and said that it would be impolite to go any further.
"It's time to eat, Ai Min, come and serve the dishes!" Qin Ying shouted from the kitchen.
Su Aimin was as if granted amnesty and ran to the kitchen. "I'll go take a look."
Wu Xiangdong and the other two laughed heartily, completely ignoring Wu Chengcang's dark face.
"What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? Eat!"
The two families sat down and started to eat. They talked about their recent situation. The atmosphere was very harmonious. It was rare that Wu Xiangdong and Su Aimin, two people with very different identities and experiences, could talk to each other. Both of them were surprised.
Wu Xiangdong was very surprised. In his opinion, although Su Aimin was a rural man and not very educated, he had profound insights into various things. His words were not just casual remarks, but obviously he had his own thoughts behind them, which was very rare.
"It's a pity that a talent like Brother Aimin is stuck in the fields. If he had studied for a few more years, he might have had the opportunity to do something for the people. I haven't thought of some of your ideas. They are very rare."
Su Aimin chuckled, "This isn't really an opinion. I grew up in the countryside, at the bottom of society, and have seen a lot. I'm just stating what I've seen."
"Sometimes, when you stand too high, you tend to neglect what's below you. That's normal."
Su Aimin's words made Wu Xiangdong stunned for a moment, and he began to think seriously. Finally, he said seriously: "Brother Aimin, you are right. Maybe sometimes people like us are standing too high. We are used to looking straight and looking up, and forget to look down."
"Look, Brother Xiangdong, I can't say things like looking up to others or looking down on others. I can only use some blunt and crude words. You are still better."
Wu Xiangdong laughed, "It's better to be straightforward! Pure, unadulterated things are the most real."
In this world, it is always the most sincere and straightforward things that touch people's hearts the most.
