"I'm here today, you guys go back first."
Only after Song Yuehua's repeated urging did the brother and sister leave.
"Xiaobao, you guys can go down tomorrow." Song Yuehua urged, and went to the backyard to fetch water and clean up.
Xiao Bao raised his head, looked around, and nodded, "We'll continue tomorrow."
"I have guests at home tomorrow and I can't go out." Qi Juncai said.
Xiao Bao said, "Then the day after tomorrow. I'll be here the day after tomorrow anyway."
"No, that won't work. If I don't finish the game, I won't be able to sleep, eat, or feel uneasy." Qi Juncai said.
"Then what do you say we should do?" Xiao Bao frowned and said, "I can't stay up today, so I'll have to accompany you till the end."
Qi Juncai picked up the folding fan and tapped his palm, then looked at Xiaobao and said, "Come to my house tomorrow. It happens that my guests also like to play chess."
"You have guests at your house, just treat them well. We can play our chess game another day." Xiaobao said.
Qi Juncai shook his head and said, "I can't come out the day after tomorrow. After you go back, I have to wait for another five days. I feel uncomfortable thinking about the game until it's over."
"Which guest will be coming tomorrow?" Xiaobao asked.
"He is my cousin, only a few years older than me, and he also likes to play chess." Qi Juncai said.
Qi Fu's Xiaobao had been there several times, but he had never met this cousin, so he was somewhat reluctant to go.
"Tomorrow we will have peach cakes, almond cakes, pine nut cakes, lotus cakes..."
Qi Juncai named a series of dishes, which made Xiaobao laugh. "Okay, I'll go."
"I may not be free tomorrow, I will send Awang to pick you up."
Xiaobao yawned and nodded.
When they returned home in the evening, Xiaobao gave the peach blossom pastry that Qi Juncai had lost to Dabao to taste.
"Is it tasty?"
"tasty."
Dabao had fallen asleep, but Xiaobao dug him out of the quilt and ate cakes with sleepy eyes.
Xiao Bao propped up his chin and said helplessly, "Qi Juncai has to entertain guests tomorrow, but he insisted on asking me to play chess. This guy's chess skills are not that good, so why is he so obsessed? Isn't it strange?"
"If you don't want to go, don't go." Dabao became a little more sober.
Xiao Bao sighed and said, "I'll go if I can't help it."
"Then I'll go with you. It just so happens that I've never seen a courtyard of a wealthy family."
When Dabao was about to take another piece, Xiaobao grabbed his hand and said, "I'll leave these pieces for Brother Xiaohu to taste. Don't eat them. You'll have nothing to do at Qi's house tomorrow, so you can only eat some cakes."
Dabao licked his fingers and crawled back into bed.
After washing up, Xiaobao returned to the main house, where Song Yuehua had already set up the shop.
"Why did you come in just now?" Song Yuehua asked.
Xiaobao stuffed the remaining cakes into the cupboard and said, "I fed Dabao a piece of peach cake."
"Eating late at night can damage your teeth. Don't feed me next time." Song Yuehua muttered for a while before asking, "Did you rinse your mouth?"
"I have washed my face," Xiaobao approached Song Yuehua and said, "Big sister, I will take Dabao to Qi's house to play for a while tomorrow."
Song Yuehua was relieved that Xiaobao often went to Qi's house, so she just said, "Then you should keep an eye on Dabao and don't let him play too much."
"The Qi family has so many snacks and desserts that Dabao has no time to play."
