After a few words, the two families separated, one going up the mountain and the other going down the mountain.
Li Mingyuan looked at the winding path and said, "I don't think we'll encounter any wild boars today. There won't even be any pheasants or rabbits."
"With so many people coming and going all day, there's no way there would be so many wild boars."
"That's right. Zhang Jinong encountered a wild wolf in the mountains last time. We shouldn't be so unlucky."
Old man Li said, "Don't talk too much, just say the good things and the bad things."
The four brothers quickly shut up and said nothing more.
But there shouldn't be any problem in broad daylight, so it's better to be cautious.
I didn't feel completely at ease until I reached the main road.
When we were almost at the village, we met the village chief and his family.
Li Mingqing was about to ask about the village history and family tree when the village chief spoke first:
"Mingqing, you're here just in time. Come to the village office this afternoon."
"Okay, where are you going?"
"Go to Wujia Village."
As soon as he heard this, he understood that they should go to Li Mingfu's father-in-law's house.
Li Mingqing looked at the half bag on his shoulder. Judging from the bulge, it should be some sweet potatoes.
The two families get along well and visit each other often.
afternoon.
When Li Mingqing arrived at the village office, the village chief and the team leader were sitting there playing chess.
A group of people gathered around to watch the fun.
The game commonly known as "Big Six" involves drawing six horizontal and vertical lines on the ground, creating thirty points.
The flags used by both sides were decided at random and made from local materials.
Whatever you catch is what you get, as long as the materials used by both parties are different.
For example, one party uses short branches and the other party uses small stones.
Although "Da Liu Qi" is simple, the villagers enjoy it and play a few games when they are free.
The team leader and the village chief are equally good at chess.
The onlookers watched with great interest, more absorbed than watching a movie.
Only in the twelfth lunar month can we have such a comfortable and relaxing time.
The rest of the time, I am either at work or on my way to work.
Li Mingqing said, "Uncle, who do you think will win?"
"That's hard to say."
"The village chief is really good at chess. I think the captain will lose a piece."
"I don't think so. I bet on the captain to win."
"No matter who wins, I don't have such good chess skills. Last time I played chess with the village chief, I was defeated without a single piece of armor left."
Everyone in the circle was talking to each other, but the two people playing chess were not affected at all.
Ten minutes later.
The village chief and the team leader still couldn't decide the winner.
The two men's legs became numb from squatting on the ground, so they supported themselves on their knees to get up.
"Come on, we have something else to do."
"What could possibly happen in the dead of winter? Just one more game, I haven't had enough yet."
"Business is more important."
Li Mingqing stood aside with them.
Asked: "Uncle, what's the matter?"
"The New Year is coming soon. You're the best calligrapher in the whole village, but this year's big-character posters haven't been written yet. It's a new year, a new atmosphere, so we need a new batch. Everything is ready."
