Chapter 326 Being pressed to the ground and rubbed by him
Seeing his cousin's eyes looking at him, Fang Minglang was inexplicably nervous.
Why does it feel like... my cousin is angry?
It is certain that I don't want to play chess with him, but it would be inappropriate for me to say that I don't want to play now.
He nodded with a stiff upper lip: "Okay, cousin, let's play a game
." Mingzhu looked at Jiang Duo, a little curious: "Are you good at Go?"
Jiang Duo pursed his lips: "I'm not sure, I'll try with Minglang."
"Okay," Mingzhu moved to the side: "Then I'll watch the game."
The two brothers started playing chess.
At the chess table next to them, Fang Shuhuai put away the chess and came to watch the game.
At first, Mingzhu could barely keep up with the rhythm of the two people, and even occasionally thought in his heart that Jiang Duo made a good move in this move, and Fang Minglang blocked that move very well.
But gradually, she felt that both of them were playing incorrectly, because the places where both of them placed their pieces were completely beyond her chess skills, and the only thing left in her heart was the exclamation that "it turned out that chess can be played here."
After nearly half an hour, Fang Shuhuai stood up and shook his head: "Okay, it's getting late, I'll call your aunt to have a rest, you young people can play slowly."
As soon as he left, Fang Minglang looked at Jiang Duo uncomfortably: "Cousin, I lost."
Jiang Duo looked at the chessboard with a calm face: "Really?"
Mingzhu counted the chess pieces, smiled and shook his arm "I won, I won. You won. Husband, you can do it."
Jiang Duo looked at her with a softer look in his eyes: "I'm lucky."
Fang Minglang was actually relieved in his heart. It didn't matter if he lost. Finally, he didn't have to rack his brains anymore. He was about to say "No more."
But Jiang Duo said slowly: "Let's play another game."
Fang Minglang was speechless. Another game?
In recent years, no one in the Jiang family or the Fang family, except his father, was willing to play chess with his cousin.
After all, playing chess with others is entertainment, but playing chess with him, you will lose even if you use your brain. Whoever plays will be pressed to the ground.
Now that his cousin is trying to crush him, he must be angry.
After picking up the pieces, they started again.
In the new game, he always leaves you some chances, and when you are about to find a way to crack the game, he will gently block it for you.
In less than ten minutes, he lost again.
He frowned: "Cousin..."
"Come again."
Mingzhu looked at Jiang Duo in amazement: "Husband, you are really good, you won two games in a row."
Jiang Duo pursed his lips: "My eldest cousin deliberately gave me a handicap."
Fang Minglang: ...
Is it because I deliberately gave Mingzhu a handicap that my cousin got angry?
He didn't say anything and continued to play.
For four or five games in a row, he didn't win a single game.
At first, Mingzhu couldn't help but praise Jiang Duo for his good chess skills.
But in the back, Mingzhu was already sleepy from watching and fell asleep leaning against the sofa.
Jiang Duo ended the fight quickly. In order not to wake Mingzhu up, he lowered his voice and said, "No more, you clean up, I'll take your cousin's wife back to sleep first."
After he finished speaking, he slowly turned sideways and gently picked up Mingzhu who was leaning on the sofa, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
Mingzhu felt her body suddenly suspended in the air, and she squinted her eyes slightly and took a look. When she saw Jiang Duo's face, she nestled into his arms at ease and fell asleep again.
Fang Minglang looked at the backs of the two people, with a bit of loss in his eyes.
Jiang Duo took a few steps, then stopped and looked back at him: "Minglang."
Fang Minglang raised his eyes and quickly gathered his expression: "Cousin, what's wrong?"
Jiang Duo's voice was still not loud, but he was sure that Fang Minglang could hear it: "Don't wait for the bus at other people's final stop, find your correct bus and take the way you should go."
After he finished speaking, he left again.
Fang Minglang was stunned for a moment and realized what Jiang Duo meant.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, took out the pen from his pocket, and stroked it gently, with mixed feelings in his heart.
The next morning, Fang Shuhuai's driver changed a car from the car company to take Jiang Duo and Mingzhu back to the suburban camp.
When the two got off the car at the door of their house, they were seen by Wang Cuiju who was pouring water in the yard.
Wang Cuiju was so excited that she trotted to Mingzhu's door: "Zhuzhu, you are back. We missed you so much."
Mingzhu hugged Wang Cuiju gently, "I missed you too."
Jiang Duo looked at the time and said to them: "Go in first. I'll light the stove for you and then go to work."
The three of them went into the house together. Jiang Duo brought in the bags. The two women went into the bedroom to chat while Jiang Duo lit the stove in the kitchen.
When the heat began to spread out, Jiang Duo boiled some water, said hello to the two, and went out.
Mingzhu sat with Wang Cuiju on the bed and asked her about her business in the past few days.
Wang Cuiju asked her to wait a moment and ran back home. She came back with her bag in a few minutes.
"You don't know, Guimei has been leaving all the money she should give you with me these days. It adds up to hundreds of dollars. I'm really nervous. If I leave it at home, I'm afraid someone will come in and take it away. If I keep it on my body, I'm afraid it will be stolen by pickpockets."
As she said, she stuffed the account book and a pile of neat and tidy money into Mingzhu's arms.
"Hurry up and count them."
Mingzhu put the money and the book aside. The few people she found were all honest and would not play tricks on her.
"No hurry, are there any raw materials left?"
"The plaster is okay, it can last for another two or three days, but the cream is not. If you don't come back today, we will have to stop supplying it tomorrow."
"Are there still so many people in the two stores?"
"Yes, the situation at the mall is not bad. People come here and the people who come are of good quality. But there was a commotion at the supply and marketing cooperative. Someone quarreled with our people because he couldn't buy medicine cream. Zheng Min couldn't calm him down no matter what he said. In the end, he went to the police station. The other party said that we were speculating. Later, Zheng Min's father came forward to solve the problem."
Mingzhu was relieved. Sure enough, bringing Zheng Min here was equivalent to bringing his father into the partnership.
At least before the policy was opened up, she didn't have to worry about not being able to do business in Nanshi.
"Okay, Uncle Zheng helped us this time, we have to remember the favor. I will go to the mall tomorrow and buy some presentable things. As a good friend of Zheng Min, I will send them to Zheng's house to repay the favor."
"I thanked Director Zheng at that time, but Director Zheng said that this was all out of gratitude for you helping Zheng Min heal her face, and it was what she should do."
Mingzhu chuckled, "There are not so many things that should be done in the world. The Zheng family knows how to do things, and we can't always take Zheng Min's face for granted. Friendships last long and money can be earned long-term if there is give and take in human relationships."
Wang Cuiju nodded, "You are still thoughtful, sister. I will listen to you."
Mingzhu smiled and was about to get up to get the gift for her, but Wang Cuiju thought of something else, "Oh, oh, there is another big thing——"
