Next to me, the old lady and Aunt Hu were sitting on chairs making tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hat for Doudou.
The prototype has come out, delicate, cute and festive.
The courtyard is equipped with heating equipment, including coal stoves.
Once the stove was on, the hall was warm.
The old man and the old lady were old. Their bodies had been damaged in the past and were too severe. They were afraid of the cold, so they only changed their thick cotton-padded clothes and trousers into thin ones.
Doudou was different. The kid, who was only wearing a sweater and woolen trousers and a pair of woolen socks, had a red face and was still sweating on his forehead.
He grabbed a chess piece, slapped it hard on the old man's face, and shouted loudly, "Check!"
The old man was embarrassed and said, "Great-great-grandson, your soldiers need to cross the river step by step before they can defeat my army."
"The pawn has no ability to fly."
"Besides, this is not a general, but a prime minister."
The little kid doesn't understand, or maybe he understands and doesn't want to talk about it and just wants to follow his own rules.
So, he grabbed the chess piece again and took a picture, "Check!"
The voice is louder.
Regardless of whether his rule is correct or not, at least the general's determination and momentum are not ordinary.
"Smelly chess basket."
The old man was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, and emphasized again, "I have already said that I am a prime minister, not a general. I don't think you can play chess like this."
"I'm great!"
Xiao Zai'er proudly replied, "General again."
This time, the phase was replaced by a cannon.
Jian Yuelan couldn't hold it in anymore and said warmly, "Hey son, this is the general."
She showed him a shogi piece, but the little boy responded by throwing away the chess piece in his hand, throwing himself into her arms and calling her mother with a milky voice.
"Do you miss mom?"
Jian Yuelan hugged the fat little boy who smelled like milk and kissed him hard on the face.
After kissing the baby on the left, he consciously moved his right cheek towards me, then his forehead and nose. After kissing them all, he chuckled and said, "I want to."
Just when Jian Yuelan was feeling happy, he started to complain.
Her habit of talking baby talk when she gets excited still hasn't changed. After a long sentence, she could clearly hear that she didn't mean what she said. She said she would go and reply quickly but she didn't reply.
Of course, it's not stated so clearly, but that's what it means.
Jian Yuelan expressed that she was ashamed.
"It's mom's fault."
She apologized seriously to her little boy, "Mom doesn't keep her word. She has disappointed us Doudou. Can Doudou forgive mom this time?"
"Mom didn't mean it either..."
"grandfather!"
Jian Yuelan interrupted the old man's explanation and said warmly, "It's just a mistake if it's wrong. It doesn't matter whether there is a reason for it! Even if there is a reason, the reason is still on me and cannot be used to excuse Dou Dou."
A child is a blank slate, and the colors and patterns that appear in the end depend entirely on the graffiti of his parents, that is, their words and deeds.
Even if a child before the age of three has no memory, Jian Yuelan doesn't want to rely on the child's lack of memory to make excuses and prevaricate even though he obviously eats too much but refuses to admit his mistake.
So, she looked at Doudou again and said sincerely, "Mom was wrong. Can Doudou forgive mom?"
"able!"
The little kid made a loud noise, and touched her face with his little hands, "My mother loves her!"
This is what I love my mother, but it’s an inverted sentence.
"Mom loves you too!"
Jian Yuelan kissed him again, hugged him, sat down and said warmly, "Can mom teach you to play chess with your great-grandpa?"
"Okay~~~"
The little milky voice was long and drawn out.
Then, Jian Yuelan and the old man played chess again.
Start teaching little Doudou how to play chess.
As a result, of course I couldn’t understand it. The rules of chess are not very complicated, but they are very complicated for a baby who is only about 10 years old.
My little brain can't remember it at all.
But this did not prevent him from learning happily and messing with the generals with chess pieces.
This made the old man angry and helpless. After playing two games in a row, he quit.
"I know you're going to go down with him."
He finally figured out that his great-great-grandson was a bad chess player.
Ignore the rules and mess around.
You can't be angry with him yet, after all, he is young and ignorant.
He couldn't handle this terrible child anymore, so he let the child's mother take over. It would be a good idea for the mother and son to fight each other.
Jian Yuelan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do it."
Then, she sat across from Xiao Doudou and asked him like he was playing the piano to a cow, "Have you memorized all the rules that mommy taught you before?"
"Remember Bird!"
"Okay, now that you remember it, let's get started?!"
"good."
Xiao Zai'er nodded, and the chubby hand grabbed Xiang Feihe. Jian Yuelan was confused for a moment. After two seconds of torn between whether to follow the rules or ignore them with Xiao Zai'er, she decisively chose the latter.
Isn't it just ignoring the rules? It doesn't matter, as long as her little cub has fun.
The old man who was watching looked at the mother and son who were messing around and felt that his breath was stuck in his throat and he could not get out. This feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
"You are just playing, not chess."
The old lady said something fair, "It's just for fun. If you expect a one-year-old child to remember the rules of chess, I think you are worse than a child."
These words are quite hurtful, since the old man was seriously injured anyway.
The key point is that he can't refute it, after all, this is his old wife who has been with him through hardships for most of his life.
So, he endured it.
He picked up the teapot and took a sip of tea. He said, "Is everything settled?"
"solved."
"Is the process difficult?"
"······fine."
The old man took another sip of tea. Not only was it okay, his granddaughter-in-law's performance was quite good.
but--
"Jian Huaishan is your grandpa?"
Jian Yuelan, "······"
The old man is very well-informed, and all the conversations he had with the old leader reached his ears.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the old leader said it.
"yes."
The old man pulled out the large group of relatives and friends of the Jian family from his memory, and found that Jian Huaishan was not there. He wondered, "Which master? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"still······"
The old man didn't say the word "sacrifice", but Jian Yuelan understood it.
"You've seen him alive, and you've even had a drinking contest with him."
As soon as these words came out, the old man suddenly realized, "Jian Qixian is Jian Huaishan?"
"right!"
"Is Huaishan a word or a name?"
"Character!"
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched, "This word doesn't match the name at all."
"Grandpa Gaozu took it."
Those who have a genealogy, the genealogy is well hidden.
The older generation all have literacy, including her father, but until their generation there was no literacy.
"Do you have any words?"
"No."
Sighing, she said, "My father said that times have changed and we won't be able to use Chinese characters in the future, but I think these are all excuses. The main reason is that he is not well-educated and cannot learn Chinese characters well."
The old man chuckled and said, "You are a narrow-minded girl. If you ignore your father like this, he knows he will beat you."
"It's okay. He hit me and my mother hit him. It's even."
Aunt Hu couldn't help but answer, "Can this also be equalized?"
"can."
Aunt Hu laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I've always been curious to know how your nickname came about."
"Well, it is said that when I was born, it was when the cicadas were chirping. My mother said that I talked a lot. A cicada was chirping in the yard outside, and I also followed the chatter. It happened that my grandma came to see me, and she started talking when she saw me.
My nickname is Zhi Zhi, and you can see from the looks of it that he can’t stop talking."
"Then my nickname became Zhi Zhi."
"It's something an old lady can say."
The old man was deeply impressed by Tai Nai and said, "A capable person in the family."
"You too."
"What happened to us?"
"As the saying goes, a family does not belong to the same family. If you were not a capable person, I would not be able to become the granddaughter-in-law of the Ye family. Grandpa and grandma, do you think this is true?"
"I think it's unreasonable!"
The old lady scolded, but Doudou said, "Mom, great!"
Without waiting for anyone's reaction, he added, "I'm great!"
He patted his chest with his little hands, then chuckled proudly.
