Kneeling in front of my wife’s tombstone and crying bitterly, I was reborn

"Next round!"

The old man said: For this game, explain it to me while you play, I want to see your thinking!

This is a tough job. Now that you have expressed your thoughts, how can you proceed?

But since the old man asked, Shen Qiansan had no choice but to cooperate.

An old man and a young man played chess. After a few moves, they retreated every few moves and then started over again. This went on over and over again. After Shen Qiansan's detailed explanation, the old man benefited a lot and said with emotion: "If I was your age and played chess at your level now, I would have governed the North..."

Suddenly he paused, waved his hands, and laughed, "Ah... let's not talk about that!"

"In short, being good at chess can give people more ideas when dealing with problems. Mr. Shen, you have such chess skills, and your future career achievements will definitely be limitless."

The old man only said half of his words and didn't say the rest because he didn't want to reveal to Shen Qiansan that he once ruled Beihu Province.

Little did he know that Shen Qiansan already knew his identity when he recognized him at the chess stall on the first day.

If not for this, why would Shen Qiansan go to the chess stall to play chess?

Of course, since the old man doesn't want to reveal his identity, Shen Qiansan naturally won't take the initiative to reveal it.

However, the words that the old man did not say did cause Shen Qiansan to think.

He smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, old man!"

The old man was startled and said, "I didn't mention anything to you."

He was not being modest, he really didn't think his words had given Shen Qiansan any hint.

Shen Qiansan said: "In the morning, I played games with my daughter. To be honest, I haven't bought her any toys yet. Her toy is just a square that she folded herself..."

The old man looked at him in surprise, still not understanding what this had to do with the advice Shen Qiansan had given.

Zhao Hanyu was the same, and he didn't understand anything. But he got one piece of information, that is, Shen Dandan didn't have any toys.

Shen Qiansan blamed himself, and he also blamed himself.

Since I have acknowledged Shen Qiansan as my brother, then the third brother's daughter is my niece.

My own niece doesn't even have toys. Isn't that a dereliction of duty for me as an uncle?

No, I have to tell Wang Jianlin about this, and together we can buy lots of toys for my niece.

Shen Qiansan didn't know what Zhao Hanyu was thinking. If he knew, he would have to say, "You really never forget Wang Jianlin!"

Wang Jianlin: Good brother, well done, that’s how it should be!

Just when Zhao Hanyu was planning what toys to buy for Shen Dandan, Shen Qiansan continued, "After listening to what the old man said just now, I thought, I'll buy a chess set and teach my daughter how to play chess from now on. This will not only cultivate her interest, but also train her observation, concentration, calculation, and spatial thinking abilities..."

Zhao Hanyu was shocked when he heard this.

Puzzled, he said, "Third brother, you said teaching Dandan to play chess is to cultivate her interest and hobby, I can understand that, but why do you say it can train her observation and other abilities?"

Before Shen Qiansan could speak, the old man laughed and said, "Hanyu, you don't understand this. What Mr. Shen said is not only correct, but also very correct."

"To play chess well, you must first be able to see the chess pieces. If you can't even see the chess pieces, then you are bound to lose. Therefore, the strength of observation is the first factor that determines the level of chess playing."

Zhao Hanyu can also play chess, but his skills are average. When he plays chess with the old man, the old man can give him a horse or a cannon.

He recalled some experiences of playing chess with his grandfather, and it seemed to be true. Many times when he lost pieces or lost the game, it was often when he didn't see the pieces. He would lose the game inexplicably and lose the game unknowingly.

With this experience, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's true. I didn't expect that playing chess on a small chessboard would have such a logic."

Hearing what he said, the old man nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile: "Do you think that I usually ask you to play chess because I am really bored and have to play chess with a bad chess player like you? I just want to cultivate your observation and thinking ability, right?"

He shook his head and said, "You, you never understand, and you still think playing chess with me is boring..."

Zhao Hanyu curled his lips. He thought it was boring for his grandfather to ask him to play chess. It was because his third brother talked about this theory today that his grandfather said this.

However, he certainly didn't dare to refute the old man's face, and said with a smile: "I didn't understand grandpa's good intentions before. In the future, I will definitely play chess with grandpa more often and learn the great path of life from it."

"Hahaha..." The old man laughed heartily, feeling that playing chess with Shen Qiansan today was not in vain!

"Dad, what are you so happy about?"

Just then, Zhao Deming came over and asked with a smile.

He hadn't heard his old father laugh so heartily for a long time since his eldest brother passed away unexpectedly.

"Dad, my third brother and grandpa are talking about chess theory!" Zhao Hanyu replied.

So it’s about chess theory!

Zhao Deming smiled. He knew his father liked it, but he didn't like playing chess and didn't understand the fun of it. He said, "The food is ready. Let's eat!"

When the old man heard about eating, he smiled and said to Shen Qiansan: "Mr. Shen, let's go and eat!"

Shen Qiansan stood up and walked towards the dining table with the old man.

There were six dishes and one pot on the table. The pot was filled with roasted fish fillets. The six dishes included three meat and three vegetarian dishes. The dishes were not rich, and they were all home-cooked dishes, but they were all delicious and fragrant.

As the old man sat down, he smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, Hanyu's father is mediocre at everything else, but he cooks well. If he retires in the future, he can open a small restaurant to make a living."

Zhao Deming listened to this and his face turned dark.

After all, he is a mayor. How come in his old father's words, he can't do anything else except cooking?

But since it was his old father who said it, he couldn't refute it and could only listen awkwardly.

Zhao Hanyu said: "Grandpa, you don't know that Third Brother is a great cook. The dishes he cooks are the most delicious in the world!"

"Really?" the old man asked in surprise.

He only knew that Shen Qiansan was good at playing chess, but he didn't know that Shen Qiansan was good at cooking. When he suddenly heard it, he was really surprised and happy.

Zhao Hanyu smiled and said, "That must be true!"

After that, he pointed at Zhao Deming and said, "If you don't believe me, ask my dad. He always says that the food my third brother cooks is delicious."

The old man didn't disbelieve what Zhao Hanyu said, he just looked at Zhao Deming naturally.

Zhao Deming: …

It feels so painful, a father and a son, both of them are pressing me to the ground and rubbing me.

He smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "Let's drink some Qingwa Daqu!"
