Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

The noise of talking here quickly attracted the attention of Mr. Wang. He subconsciously looked at the position of the chessboard.

When he saw the chess pieces clearly, his eyes widened and he could no longer chat with Ouyang Zhen.

He walked to the chessboard in two or three steps, and deduced the changes in the chess situation step by step. The more he watched, the more frightened he and Old Ye were.

After playing chess for so many years, the two have become equally skilled at chess, and after several rounds of fighting, they have only ended up in a draw.

I didn't expect to meet a master today. Old Ye also had such a day. Now it seems that every step taken by Heizi at the beginning,

These were all traps that had been set long ago, luring the white piece into the encirclement step by step, while also eroding the white piece's retreat route.

This chess skill is really superb, and I feel like playing it myself.

"This chess game is really wonderful. You don't lose shamefully. Old Ye, I never thought you would end up like this."

After saying that, he looked at the old man and said, "Brother Wenhai, you are really good to Li Hao. Can I ask you for some advice?"

"I'm just playing for fun, there's no point in asking for advice. It's still early, so let's play a game! Please~"

Mr. Ye stood up and gave up his seat. At the same time, he was thinking that as a spectator, he had to take a good look at what kind of chess style Brother Wen Hai played.

In the end, he actually suppressed me all the way and I had no power to fight back.

The chess pieces on the chessboard were quickly cleared. Just like the last game, Mr. Wang chose the white pieces. Mr. Xiang was the winner in the last game.

He should have made the first move in this round. He played chess based on his mood and the position of the move was random.

So after the first move, Elder Ye and Elder Wang looked at him in confusion, not knowing that he had changed his play style in this game.

Facing the two people's confusion, he said calmly, "No regrets, Brother Yiming, please go ahead!"

"Let me think about it. Brother Wenhai is so skilled in chess that I dare not make a move easily."

Old Master Xiang did not rush him, and then said slowly, "I am a person who makes moves more casually, so it doesn't matter if I take it slow."

As the black piece fell, the white piece immediately set another trap. As they fought back and forth, the two gradually became serious.

Watching chess is like watching people. Both of them are careful thinkers. Every time they make a move, they have to look three steps ahead. In the midst of a fierce battle,

After a long time, the winner was not decided. The black pieces used an unconventional sword and were fierce wherever they went, while the white pieces were like Tai Chi.

Facing the black man's attack, he was able to turn it into nothingness every time, and the situation suddenly became fierce.

The actions of the two players made the three chess spectators hold their breath several times until the next piece fell.

Just when everyone thought it was a draw again, in just a moment, the white piece had the intention to engulf the black piece.

Soon, the black guys were beaten without any chance to fight back, and the situation that seemed to be going well before suddenly became scattered and disorganized.

There is no need to continue.

It seems that it is not that their chess skills are not good, but that the opponent's chess skills are too superb. They are completely incomparable with each other.

Thinking of this, Ye Bosheng felt relieved. Fortunately, Old Wang lost this round, otherwise he would have a great chance of

I'm going to be teased by Old Wang.

"I don't know who was making sarcastic remarks just now, but what was the result? He is the same as me. Brother Xiang Hai is really an expert.

It's been a while since I've seen such a fun chess game. If you have nothing to do in the future, you can always come and play with us."

Although they both lost, isn't that the way chess works? If the position of the pieces is the same every time,

What's the point? Competing with such a master will only expand your chess range.

They had just arrived here, and one more person meant one more friend. Besides, the chess skills of these two were really to his liking.

Thinking of this, Xiang said to the old man without hesitation, "Of course, of course I will talk to you more often when the time comes. Mancang's chess skills are comparable to mine.

Let me take a break and have a cup of tea, how about you guys play the next game."

Hearing him say this, the two elders' eyes lit up. The old saying is true: there are always people better than you. These two people are their soulmates!

In order to get the first round first, Mr. Wang didn't even move his chair, which made Mr. Ye very anxious, and a new fight began.

At this time, a military jeep stopped outside the courtyard. The first to get off were Gu Yueze and Lou Junyao.

Then the back door was opened, and the person who called the police and wanted to get out of the car was a white-haired old lady.

On the other side was an old man who looked very energetic. As soon as they got off the car, they were stunned by the scale of the courtyard in front of them.

You know, there are only two types of people who can afford to live in this kind of house, one is powerful and the other is influential. I secretly wondered if this brother and sister,

It's no wonder they speculated that he was the grandson of some hermit family and returned to Beijing after noticing the situation had improved.

This kind of family does exist. If there are talented people in the family, once they find that the situation is not optimistic, they will immediately evacuate to preserve their strength.

It's just that it's rare. "Your comrade and Qing girl are both very good people. I didn't expect that their family backgrounds would be so good."

"This location is quite good. Jingyao, are you sure the little girl's home is here?" the old lady asked.

"Grandma, don't worry! It was the three of us who went to the train station to pick someone up yesterday and then brought him here."

Yes, the visitors were the old couple Bai Junshan and Yin Wanyu. Their ancestral home was in Haidian. They had been through so much.

He had long lost interest in power, so after being rehabilitated, he did not return to his original position like others did.

Instead, he chose to step down. His eldest son's family and his eldest grandson did not follow his path, so he stepped down so quickly.

It did not cause any impact on the family, and he returned to his ancestral home to live a semi-secluded life.

It was just during the Chinese New Year that the old couple heard their eldest grandson mention this matter. They were grateful for Ouyang Qing's kindness to them. After hearing the news,

They told Bai Jingyao that if the little girl and her family came, they must go to visit together, and so the current scene happened.

The old lady was quite disgusted and pushed away her grandson's hand that was supporting her, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot?

Hurry up and help carry the things. Your grandfather and I have received so much kindness from the little girl, and this time we can finally thank her properly."

This attitude made Bai Jingyao a little uncertain. Wasn’t he his grandmother’s most beloved grandson?

I just heard what he said, but I always feel something is strange. When he came back years ago, the old lady loved him very much.

How could it become like this in just a few days? I really can't understand.

Seeing that he was slow to act, the old lady was about to step forward and do it herself, but Bai Jingyao didn't dare to let her do it.

He stopped the man and said, "Don't you trust me to do the job? It's just a small matter, why would you and Grandpa be needed?"

After saying that, he took out many oil paper bags and department store packaging boxes from the back seat. Seeing that he could not hold any more,

He also gave part of it to Lou Junyao and Gu Yueze.

It was Chinese New Year itself, and today had a different meaning, so Gu Yueze and the others prepared some gifts.

Not long after the knock on the door, the gate was quickly opened. Seeing the newcomers, the people in the yard said happily, "I guessed it was you.

Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai, why are you here too? Everyone, please go inside quickly."

It was Ouyang Bai who came to open the door. He saw that the time was almost up, so he waited in the outer courtyard. What he didn't expect was that

The two old people from the Bai family also came.

Perhaps seeing his confusion, Mr. Bai smiled and explained, "Are you surprised? A few days ago, we heard Jingyao say,

You all came here, and you plan to live in Beijing City. And you brothers and sisters were very kind to us old couple when you were in Qingshan Brigade.

I've been very helpful, so I decided to come visit you and bother you without asking."

"Grandpa Bai, what are you talking about? How can you be bothering me? We welcome you to be our guests. Grandpa Ye and his friends just arrived not long ago.

I will lead you there now!"

"Master, you didn't even tell me about this important thing. If it weren't for Jingyao, we wouldn't have known about this news.

Thinking back to when we first went to Qingshan Brigade, if it weren't for Qingqing, we wouldn't have been able to live so freely.

So I wanted to come visit your elders to learn how they raised Qingqing to be so outstanding. "

Hearing his younger sister being praised like this, Ouyang Bai felt proud and said, "Grandpa Bai, you are too kind. If Qingqing and the others knew you were here,

I'm sure you'll be very happy."

After closing the gate, Ouyang Bo led a few people directly to the study. Halfway through, they met two old ladies who were supporting each other.

Ouyang Heng and Qian Yanpeng came back from a walk outside and were surprised to see their parents again.

"It's been a long time since we last met! Happy New Year, Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai."

When he was still in Qingshan Brigade, Qian Yanpeng often went to the cowshed with Ye Lihao to help out and do things within his ability.

So the two elders were very familiar with him. Seeing him again, Mr. Bai was very happy and hurriedly said,

"It's you, Yan Peng! I heard that you guys were admitted to Jingshi University. Congratulations! I heard that you guys came to Jingshi,

I just wanted to come and visit you.”

"Thank you, Grandpa Bai, for your compliment. We are lucky. Please go to the study room quickly! We just came from there.

Grandpa Ye and the others are playing chess?"

Hearing this, Mr. Bai was very interested. After returning to Beijing, Mr. Li and his wife quit their jobs and went to Shanghai to join their son.

When they got into trouble, Mr. and Mrs. Li took the initiative to sever ties with their children by publishing an advertisement in the newspaper. Two days after the couple returned,

Their eldest son and grandson rushed over from Shanghai upon hearing the news. Because of this, the old friends could only write letters or make phone calls.

We can only get in touch with them now. I’m afraid we’ll see these old guys less and less in the future.

"By the way, why do I see you here? Where are Qing girl and the others?"

"They are all helping in the kitchen. Why don't you go to the study first, Grandpa Bai? We are going there now.

By the way, I'll give you a shout."

Hearing this, Mr. Bai waved his hands and said, "No need, Yanpeng, let them do their work first!

It's nothing important, we'll see each other after we're done, we just need my cousin here, by the way, who are these people?"

After a brief introduction and a few more pleasantries, the group separated. Old Mrs. Bai wanted to go to the kitchen to help,

Soon, the two old ladies refused, saying that it was unreasonable for a new guest to help in the kitchen. Seeing this, Old Lady Bai could only give up the idea.

They followed him to the banquet room next to the study.

The people busy in the kitchen soon learned that there were new guests at home. When they heard that they were the two elderly people from the Bai family,

Ouyang Qing and the other two were also very surprised, but they also welcomed it. Fortunately, there were only two more people.

Guests are welcome, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you don’t prepare enough!

Of course, considering the tastes of the elderly, Zhou Guilan and her sister-in-law specially prepared several light dishes. The good food and good wine made a great feast.

You can imagine how much fun everyone had. Because they had things to do in the afternoon, Wang Lao and Ouyang Zhen only had two drinks.

He stopped drinking. He learned from the dinner table that several people were going to the vicinity of Beijing University in the afternoon. Gu Yueze thought that his old man would be there anyway.

Since there was nothing to do today and I didn't need a car, I suggested, "Ouyang, why don't I drive there? I'm familiar with the road over there.

I can come back earlier after finishing my work."

It would be good to be able to drive there, after all, Beijing University is not that close to them, and a round trip would take a lot of time.

Since his good brother said so, he wouldn't be polite.

"Thank you very much, brother. Let's come back early after we finish our work. We can have a good drink tonight."

So, after dinner, Gu Yueze drove out with Mr. Wang, Ouyang Zhen and his son (daughter).

Zhou Guilan was going to go with them at first, but then she changed her mind and decided that even if her sister-in-law and mother-in-law were there, as the mistress of the house, she would not be able to go.

It is always bad to entertain guests not at home. Driving is fast and saves almost half the time.

According to the address given by Mr. Huang, they came to Jiaojia Hutong, not far from Peking University. Just from the outer wall at the entrance of the hutong, they could see that

This alley has some history. After getting off the bus, before I had time to ask, I saw a very kind old lady walking towards me.

"Old Wang, I didn't expect you to be so punctual."

Seeing her, Mr. Wang hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, you've been waiting for a while, right? I'm really sorry to bother you."

The old man called Lao Zhang had a smile on his face when he spoke, "No, I just got here.

This person must be your friend!"

The old woman had a sharp eye and quickly identified Ouyang Zhen from among the others. She and Old Wang lived in the same alley.

But she had never seen these people before, so they couldn't be Wang's relatives. Ouyang Zhen, who was suddenly named,

He hurried forward and introduced, "Hello, Comrade Zhang. I am Ouyang Zhen. These are the younger generations of my family.

I'm sorry to trouble you with today's matter."

"It's just a small matter, how can it be considered troublesome? Lao Wang and I have been neighbors for decades. Let's go over there quickly!

The owner is waiting at home?"

On the way there, Old Lady Zhang introduced the surrounding environment and the specific location of the second courtyard to a few people.

"You guys are lucky. When I came here this morning, I came to take a look. I didn't expect this courtyard house to be so popular.

In just one morning, three or four people came to ask about it, but those people saw that he was in a hurry to sell,

I wanted to lower the price, but I couldn't contact Lao Wang and could only worry about it. Fortunately, we didn't reach an agreement. "
