Lin Ze was extremely aggrieved, Xia Shuzhu was extremely shy, and Xia's father was extremely ashamed and angry!
What's going on with this old woman? She was fine just now, so why did she blink and ask such a sensitive and embarrassing question? Xiaozhu is not a child, so she would have no sense of herself? If I want you to go back to your room and ask your daughter, in front of a whole table
People ask, where can I put this old face?
Xia's mother was too nervous about her daughter, so she asked such inappropriate words. But now that she had spoken, she put aside her dignity as a university professor and stared at Lin Ze calmly.
Lin Ze coughed hard, spit out the pig's feet in his mouth, wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and said awkwardly: "Xiao Xia had a stomachache that day, so I sent her home, but I went home that night and didn't
Stay overnight.”
After hearing this, Xia's mother turned to look at her daughter and saw her nodding. Then she felt a little relieved, but then she thought about it, those days were her daughter's menstrual period, and she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to. She couldn't help but secretly blame herself for caring, and chatting casually.
Two sentences changed the subject.
After dinner, Xia Shuzhu accompanied her mother to clear the dishes. Xia's father pulled the embarrassed Lin Ze and smiled and said, "Can you play chess?"
"Backgammon?" Lin Ze asked curiously.
"——" Father Xia hesitated. "Chess."
Backgammon? That is played by children. I, an old man who is nearly fifty years old, play backgammon with you? Are you afraid that you will lose your face enough?
Lin Ze nodded, and then the old man and the young man set up a battle formation in the living room to fight.
Xia's father chose this opportunity to play chess, not because he wanted to show off his superb skills. Although his chess level is indeed very high, several national chess players in Yanjing's circle of friends also call him a professional among amateur players.
player.
It can be seen how good his chess skills are.
A chess piece is like a person. This is an old saying in the chess world, and it can stand up to scrutiny.
When young people play chess, they are always eager to win, and their tactics are quite radical. They are not as steady and steady as the old Jianghu disciples.
By dragging Lin Ze to play chess, Xia's father wanted to conduct a final assessment of Lin Ze. His character and style could be inferred from his chess skills. If he was too aggressive and impetuous, Xia's father would give him a bad impression.
a discount.
The two sides laid out their chess pieces and showed humility to each other. In the end, Lin Ze made the first move.
At the beginning of the game, Lin Ze was like an old twilight shepherd, advancing with a sluggish style. Even for a person with an extremely gentle temperament like Father Xia, this was quite puzzling.
To say that you are not radical, you are not so conservative, right? Is this playing chess? It is completely sealing yourself off and not fighting with yourself.
Three minutes later, seeing that Xia's father still had no intention of opening up the situation, he jumped on his horse and crossed the river for the first confrontation.
Lin Ze lit a cigarette and calmly dealt with Xia's father, setting up a formation without leaving any trace.
Father Xia lost his temper because of Lin Ze's steady approach. Just when he was about to attack on all fronts, Mu Ran realized a serious problem.
Why is Lin Ze so stubborn and unwilling to attack?
He was simply planning. At this moment, some of Xia's father's chess pieces had already entered Lin Ze's camp, but they were unable to achieve a fatal blow. This made it impossible for the chess pieces in front and behind to complement each other.
On the other hand, after Lin Ze used psychological tactics to force Xia's father's army to advance, he launched an offensive without warning. And every offensive was a series of chess pieces. Even if Xia's father wanted to turn the gun and return to the camp to rescue him, he failed.
There is nothing we can do.
In this gap, the only thing Xia's father could do was to keep attacking Lin Ze, leaving him in a panic.
But Lin Ze had already figured out Xia's father's way of playing chess in the first five minutes, and had already calculated his possible attack methods when attacking. He only waited for the soldiers to block it, and the water to cover it up.
"Whoops——"
Father Xia took a long puff of cigarette, twitched the corners of his eyes, put down the chess piece in his hand, the frustration on his face disappeared in a flash, and said with a smile: "What a good boy, you actually tricked me."
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon." Lin Ze pretended to smile and handed Xia's father a cigarette.
Xia's father took the cigarette and said, "If you come again, I won't let you do this."
"OK."
After placing the chess pieces, Xia's father took the lead in this round. Lin Ze's tactics also underwent a 360-degree reversal.
In the previous game, Lin Ze used defense as an offense. After the layout was completed, he exposed his ferocious fangs and pounced on Xia's father's camp. In this game, he polished his spear at the beginning and attacked with fierce firepower.
Thanks to Xia's father's superb chess skills, otherwise he would have been beaten to pieces by Lin Ze's fierce attack. After nearly three minutes of head-on confrontation, Lin Ze fell into a stage where he was unable to follow up, and Xia's father also got a short period of recuperation.
The situation became a little calmer.
At this moment, Xia Shuzhu and Xia's mother finished clearing the dishes and came to the living room to watch the two play chess.
"Oh, Lin Ze, hurry up and eat General Xiang." Xia Shuzhu was giving instructions in a very thoughtless manner.
She also knew a little bit about chess, but there was a big gap between her and Xia's father. Seeing that Lin Ze seemed to be in trouble, she couldn't help but raise her opinion.
"A true gentleman watches chess without speaking." Lin Ze said calmly.
"I'm not a gentleman to begin with!" Xia Shuzhu curled his lips.
Lin Ze smiled and did not respond. Instead, he made a very dangerous move, trying to turn the tide, break the deadlock, and start another brutal offensive.
Seeing this, Xia's father raised his brows and hurriedly struck a decisive blow to cut off the lone chess piece, sealing it firmly in the encirclement.
Lin Ze frowned slightly, and Xia Shuzhu also screamed and patted his back hard: "What if you didn't listen to me just now? Even the last powerful chess piece was choked to death, right?"
"I lost." Lin Ze smiled shyly, not minding Xia Shuzhu's ridicule.
But Xia's father smiled and said, "It's quite remarkable that you can have such chess skills at your age."
Lin Ze responded humbly. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said, "Uncle and aunt, it's getting late, I should go back."
Father Xia stood up and said, "Well, let Xiaozhu take you downstairs. Come and play often when you have time."
After saying this, Lin Ze and Xia Shuzhu went out side by side.
"Old man, how do you feel?" Xia's mother waited for the two of them to go out, then asked her husband curiously.
She didn't believe that the old man and the young man were playing chess out of boredom. It seemed like the old man was testing his future son-in-law with his unique skills.
"A very remarkable young man." Xia's father was very addicted to cigarettes tonight. He just put out one, and within three minutes he lit another one.
"Will you die if you smoke less?" Xia's mother complained angrily.
"I'm not happy." Xia's father puffed out a puff of smoke leisurely and said happily.
"What's going on? You should tell me quickly, I'm so anxious."
"Except for not being very well-dressed, in other aspects he is the most knowledgeable young man I have ever seen." Xia's father spoke highly of Lin Ze.
"Not even the doctoral students you led can compare to him?" Xia's mother looked incredulous, "Are you trying to comfort me?"
"Am I going to comfort you for this kind of thing? My daughter is your daughter, not mine?" Xia's father's self-esteem as a man was exposed, which made Xia's mother stop talking and just glared at him unhappily.
"This young man has good qualities in all aspects. Don't look at him as if he is casual and ignorant of the general situation. In fact, he is just informal. In some aspects, he does better than middle-aged people in their thirties and forties." Xia
Father said seriously.
"Is he that good?" Xia's mother asked.
"Just take the chess game I just played. I lost completely in the first game. You know my chess level. How old is this young man? He could kill me and come back defeated. But in the second game, even if he changed his tactics, he was still defeated.
You can win. But in order to save face for me, he went to great lengths to create an illusion. Why? Isn't it because he was afraid that I would see that he deliberately let me down and hurt my self-esteem." Xia's father looked relieved and sighed. "Oh, before.
I always feel that the daughters of my old colleagues have found excellent boyfriends and husbands, but the boyfriend our daughter has found is much better than them."
"Xiao Lin is really as good as you said. Let's entertain him well next time. In fact, I was too nervous about my daughter, so I gave him a look. In fact, his behavior after coming out of the bathroom was still very good.
"Xia's mother said with some guilt.
"Don't worry. Judging from his chess skills, this kid is not a petty person. He won't take your thoughts to heart." Xia's father seemed to appreciate and like Lin Ze very much.
"Bah, you seem to be talking about me as a very unqualified old woman." Xia's mother was unhappy.
"Then tell me what your performance was like tonight?" Xia's father retorted.
"I -" Mother Xia was stunned and said angrily. "Then tell me, are Xiaozhu and Xiaolin suitable for each other? I always feel that our daughter should find a polite doctoral student. Don't you have many students among them?
An excellent one?"
"I said, what are you, an old woman, thinking about all day long? Xiaozhu is not a child. Doesn't she have some ability to distinguish? Besides, I also like Xiaolin very much. Don't act recklessly, or something will happen.
Please, don’t blame me and my daughter for ignoring you."
"Bah, it sounds like I really like you talking to me." Mother Xia stood up from the sofa and said disdainfully. "You must have the guts to sleep on the sofa tonight and don't sleep in the room."
"This is not your home, go and ask Xiaozhu if he can bear me sleeping on the sofa?" Xia's father immediately took out Xia Shuzhu as a shield.
Xia's mother was speechless and went back to her room to make the bed.
