Urban Life: Our Youth

One day, I was playing at a relative's house. A friend of the relative's house said, "Hey, can you play chess?"

"Absolutely." I said with a smile.

"Come on, come on, let's have a fight, and I'll let you drive, horse, and cannon," he said.

"It's better not to stop." I said.

"It's still early to eat, and there's nothing to do anyway. Come on, let's kill a game. I've been studying chess records for many years, and I've never met an opponent. It's not a shame if you lose to me." He said confidently.

"In that case, fine, but you don't have to give me the pieces." I said.

"Then I'll give you a rook." As he said that, he had already laid out the chess piece.

"No, you don't need to let me play chess pieces, and I won't let you play chess pieces. I'll learn from you." I said with a smile.

"Young man, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers! Okay, let's get started."

As a result, he was killed by me before the fifteenth move in the game.

He looked at me in astonishment, with sweat pouring down his forehead, and said: "You can do it, you are so secretive! I admire you, I admire you! It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each generation becomes stronger than the last!"

"You're flattered, I just won this game by luck." I said.

On the morning of the next day, my uncle Li Rendong led me to No. [-] Villa, a high-end villa community near the city's court.

"Uncle, why did you bring me here?" I was confused.

"Don't ask yet, you will know when we get there." Uncle said.

"Ding dong!" The uncle came to a door and rang the doorbell.

"Here, here!" The person who opened the door was a short lady, about 40 years old, whom I didn't recognize, with a smile on her face, very enthusiastic, "Director Li, Xiao Li, your uncle and nephew are here together. , come in quickly.”

Does she know me? I feel a little strange.

"Hello, Mr. Hu!" The uncle greeted her with a smile, "This is my nephew, Li Shaozhe!"

"Hello, aunt!" I said quickly.

"Okay, come in quickly."

With that said, we entered the living room. To be honest, this living room is really big and the European style decoration is quite impressive.

My mind was spinning rapidly, and after thinking about it, I was sure that I had never seen her before and didn't know her, but it seemed that she was quite familiar with me.

My uncle and I sat on the sofa.

Hu Yun poured us each a cup of tea.

"Xinyi, come out quickly, everyone is here." Hu Yun said, "Let's get to know each other."

What do you mean? I'm a little confused.

At this time, I saw a girl walking out of the bedroom.

She is about 165 centimeters tall, neither fat nor thin. She wears a white short-sleeved T-shirt on the upper body, a pair of tight jeans on the lower body, a pair of black high heels on her feet, and short black hair. She looks more energetic and has a pair of big shoes. His eyes looked left and right, a little shy.

"Come on, Xinyi, come over and let me introduce you," Hu Yun said, "This is Hu Xinyi, my niece. She works in City A and just came back yesterday. This is your Uncle Li, and this is Li Shaozhe."

My uncle and I both stood up.

"Hello, uncle," she said hello to my uncle, and then extended her right hand as if to shake my hand, "Hello!"

Is this the rhythm of introducing someone to me? I thought to myself, uncle, you may have done something wrong. Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I was not mentally prepared at all.

My uncle touched me with his arm, and I stretched out my hand and shook her hand. I also said "Hello!"

After the four people sat down again, they heard Hu Yun say: "Shaozhe, I don't know if your uncle has made it clear to you. Maybe you still don't understand it. That's it. Do you often go to the East Gate Sinopec No. Refuel at the second gas station?”

"Yeah." I'm surprised, she knows all this.

"Your Aunt Hu is the general manager of our city's Sinopec branch," the uncle added. "She manages all the Sinopec gas stations in the city."

"Director Li, you are so complimentary. I am just a cog, serving the people." Come on, are you familiar with Station Manager Zhao of their gas station?"

"Yeah." I answered.

"So I asked Stationmaster Zhao for some information about you," she said, "Then I was thinking, you are not married, and our Xinyi family doesn't have a partner yet. I think you two are quite suitable. I just don’t know if you have this fate. Just two days ago, I had dinner with your uncle because of work matters, and we talked about this matter. Unexpectedly, it turns out that you are Director Li’s nephew. So, I want you to Let’s meet and get to know each other.”

Hu Xinyi's cheeks turned red.

That’s it, I didn’t understand until then. But all I wanted to do was leave immediately.

After Aunt Hu's repeated attempts to persuade us to stay, and at my uncle's suggestion, we had lunch at her house.

After lunch, everyone sat for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Xinyi, Shaozhe, you two go out for a walk in the park next to us," Hu Yun said, "Go and have a chat to increase understanding and enhance your relationship."

Uncle winked at me again.

It's not too far out, and the park is on the left. We walked along the winding path of the park for a while, and no one spoke.

I thought to myself: This uncle of mine is really capable. He introduced me to someone, but he didn’t tell me clearly in advance. No.

"Then let me add your WeChat account." Hu Xinyi suddenly said this, her voice still trembling a little.

"Okay, then scan it for me." As I said that, I opened the QR code of my WeChat business card.

"Then let me give you my mobile phone number, too?" she said.

"Okay," I said, "I'll make a note."

I have a habit of writing the other person’s mobile phone number after their WeChat friend’s name.

"My mobile phone number is——." As she spoke, she began to scratch her head and froze there.

I looked at her strangely and waited for her for 2 minutes. She actually forgot her mobile phone number.

I thought to myself, this guy is really interesting.

"Oh, it's okay, you can send it to me when you get back." I saw that her head was stuck, and she looked so embarrassed, so I quickly found a step for her to get off.

"Okay, I'll send it to you when I get back." She blushed and said embarrassedly.

"Uncle, why are you here?" As she walked, she saw a person in front of her and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

But I saw a man playing chess with an old man. When I saw it, it was Hu Ming, and I quickly turned my face away.

"Xinyi? Why are you here? Didn't I hear your aunt say that you are going on a blind date today?" The man stood up. He was the one who played chess with me last time.

"Isn't that Li Shaozhe? This world is really small, and we meet you everywhere in life! I didn't expect to meet you again here." Hu Ming laughed.

Being recognized by someone, I couldn't pretend not to see him, so I had to say hello to him.

Hu Ming asked: "How did you two get together?"

Hu Xinyi blushed and said, "Uncle, it turns out you two know each other."

"Oh, I understand. He is the person your aunt introduced to you today." He touched his head, "Okay, we are destined, Shaozhe, come on, come on, I lost last time, let's fight again One plate.”

I was a little embarrassed to hear him mention the last time he played chess.

"You are really good at chess. Come on, add my WeChat account. I will recommend you to the chess association in our city later." After saying that, Hu Ming took out his phone and asked me to add his WeChat account. "Shaozhe" Ah, this is my niece, and I am Hu Yun’s brother. We all live in this No. [-] villa. From now on, we will be a family. If you have any difficulties in life or work, just say it, as long as I can If you can help, I will definitely help!”

"You're welcome, please stop. My uncle is still waiting for us to go back." I said.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's still early, come on, come on, let's play a game, it's better to meet by chance, right?" he said.

The old man who was playing chess with him heard what he said and said, "Young man, don't be humble. Since Director Hu said this, it means you must be good at playing chess. Come on, I'll let you two play, and I'll come next to you." Take a look and learn."

I thought to myself that despite his age, this old man also loves to join in the fun.

There is no other way, so I put the chess on the table and kill another round.

This game lasted a long time, and before the winner was decided, my uncle called us and asked us to go back.
