Chapter Seventy-One: Stubbornness
Li Yi walked over and called out respectfully: "Hello! ”
Old Man Li's eyes flashed with tears, but when he heard Li Yi say this respectful greeting like an ordinary person, his straight body stiffened, his two thick eyebrows bent slightly, and his thin chin raised: "Don't you want to call me grandpa?" ”
Li Yi said: "The young and the old are orderly, when my mother calls you Dad, I will naturally call you Grandpa!" Until then, I didn't dare to trespass. ”
Old Man Li didn't expect him to answer like this, and looked at him a little angrily. His sharp gaze gave people an invisible coercion, but Li Yi held his head high, met his gaze, and met the battle with a firm attitude.
"Good!" Old Man Li's nervous expression suddenly relaxed, and a smile of approval floated: "My personality is really stubborn, just like when I was young!" ”
Gu Heng walked over with a smile: "Old Li, I have completed the task you entrusted to me." Now that your grandchildren have met, is there nothing wrong with me? ”
Old Man Li said: "Old Gu, I see that you are staying in the Southern Province quite nourishingly." What's the matter, thinking about going back to Beijing? ”
"Hey! The piles in the southern province are good, but there are few opponents who play chess! Haha, your grandson is one, but it's a pity that the level is too high, and I don't know how to respect the old and love the young, so I don't have any temper at all! Elder Li, even if it's you, I'm afraid you may not be his opponent! ”
"Oh? Is it? Old Man Li's eyes flashed, as if he had found prey: "Then go back and kill a game?" ”
Li Yi hadn't agreed yet, Gu Heng pushed him into the car: "Let's go, it's not a big girl who gets on a sedan chair, what are you so reserved?" ”
The red flag car drove slowly, seducing envious eyes all the way. Among them, there was a gaze from Zhong Xiu, who stood not far away, dragging a trolley suitcase, watching the red flag car merge into the traffic. Zhong Xiu, who witnessed the scene just now, became interested in this Li Yi.
The Hongqi car passed through the bustling street and turned into a verdant hill.
There is a guard post at the intersection of the hill, see the red flag car coming, salute and let go, drive in for more than ten minutes, pass a guard post, and drive up for a few minutes, only then I see a villa hidden in the green mountains and green trees.
It is said to be a villa, but it is actually similar to the old houses in the countryside, and the use of green bricks is actually antique.
Seeing Li Yi's surprised expression, Li Juan snorted coldly and said, "Don't think this is an ordinary farmhouse!" It was built in the style of my grandfather's hometown. Grandpa Taizu lived in his grandfather's house back then, and after his grandfather participated in the revolution, all his family members were buried alive, and the house was also burned down. Taejo asked Grandpa what he needed? Grandpa replied that a mountain house, one acre of paddy field is enough. So, Grandpa Taizu took special care of the comrades of the General Office of the State Council, built this house here, and personally drew sketches, indicating that it must be built exactly the same. ”
Li Yi sighed softly, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve! It seems that this old man, who has been through a lot of mulberry, also has a lot of unspeakable pain in his heart. I feel a little closer to this old man in my heart.
The surroundings were very quiet, and even if there was more money or less money, he didn't know when he disappeared, only Li Juan accompanied him and walked towards the house behind the two old men.
Li Yi suddenly felt a sense of weakness. After all, all this does not belong to him.
The house is not luxurious, quaint furniture, simple utensils, but everything is so clean, elegant, it can be seen that the owner of this house is a person with a high taste of life.
The warm sun shines on this small courtyard, and the late autumn wind blows down from the mountains.
At this moment, on the side of a tree-carved table and chair in the courtyard, Li Yi and Li Lao sat opposite each other, holding a game.
The old man said: "Playing chess alone, it's a little boring, so let's make a bet, how about it?" The losing side should listen to the winning side and do one thing! No matter how difficult it is, it must be done! ”
Li Yi is quite confident in his chess skills, he played chess battles on the Internet when he had nothing to do in his previous life, and often studied the chess games of Tianyuan chess saints in various countries in his spare time. Thinking that Li Lao was old, his energy was limited, and his calculation ability must be lacking, and it should not be difficult to beat him, so he smiled and said, "Okay! Then take a gamble! ”
Li Lao said: "You are a junior, you are black." Hugh made people laugh at me for bullying the offspring boy. ”
Li Juan shouted beside her: "That's not good, Li Yi, do you know how to respect the elderly?" This is not fair, Li Yi is young and strong, he should let his grandfather have ten sons! ”
Li Yi glared at her: "Do you know how to play chess?" Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Playing chess is a mental activity, what does it have to do with being young and strong? ”
Li Juan said a big truth crookedly. Li Yi couldn't stand it anymore: "I didn't say I want to be black now, can you shut up?" Watching chess without saying a word, a true gentleman! ”
Li Yi stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm not a gentleman, I'm a lady!" ”
Li Yi shook his head and took the white chess pieces over.
Li Lao said: "Xiaojuan, don't be mischievous. ”
"Oh!" Li Yi was honest at this time, standing behind Li Lao, watching chess quietly.
Playing Go is the most exquisite mind and eyesight, and the chess player needs to pay full attention and have no distractions, which can be seen in the ancient legend of Rotten Ke.
The two of them played chess and gradually integrated into the chess path, and every time they fell, they had to go through a precise analysis, and the more they played, the slower they became.
The people who watched were also fascinated, and they were all thinking about what to do next. If the person under the fall is better than he thought, he will show an expression of sudden realization.
Li Yi knew that this was not a simple game of chess, it was a test for him by the old man, an assessment, and a bet. The old man will not bet easily, he is not completely sure or not 10% attractive, he will not have this kind of Yaxing? Therefore, Li Yi played with the spirit of 120,000 points to deal with this chess game with the old man.
Hours flowed away like flowing water.
Li Yi touched the white seeds, thought for a long time, put the two white seeds in the lower right corner of his side, and sighed: "I lost!" ”
Li Yi really lost convincingly this time, with Li Lao's age and playing chess for such a long time, it is really not easy to win against him.
Li Lao Haha smiled: "Boy, you are not bad!" When I was your age, I didn't even know what Go was! ”
A person next to him said coldly: "Dad, you only narrowly won half of this game, if it weren't for the fact that you were holding the black first, you would definitely lose." ”
Li Yi raised his eyes and looked, good guy, the surroundings were already full of people at some point, and Uncle Li Zhengyu was also among them. The person who spoke just now was a man about thirty years old, who was a little similar to Li Zhengyu, dressed very foreignly, and heard him call Li Lao his father just now, it can be concluded that this must be Li Lao's youngest son, Li Yi's little uncle, Li Yuanxiao.
Li Yuanxiao smiled and patted Li Yi's shoulder: "Xiao Yi, that's good!" ”
Li Yi greeted with a smile: "Hello, uncle." He said to Li Zhengyu again: "Uncle, hello." ”
Li Yi, the other adults, didn't know him, but he was tactful and shouted them one by one, and it was exactly the same.
The second uncle, Li Zhenghe, said with a smile: "This child is so handsome, and he is carved out of the same mold as the third brother." ”
Aunt Li Yuanying took Li Yi's hand, looked him up and down, and hugged him affectionately, like holding her own child, so kind and natural.
A few children, but Li Yi was difficult to guess, so Li Juan introduced him one by one.
The second uncle has a son and a daughter, the son is named Li Shilong, who is a few years older than Li Yi, and the daughter Li Zhi is slightly older than Li Yi.
My aunt married in the Wu family and had two sons, the eldest son Wu Hao and the youngest son Wu Jie, both of whom were younger than Li Yi.
Li Shilong is a bold man, born tall and big, and he had a bear hug with Li Yi, so he smiled, touched his head and didn't know what to say.
Wu Hao and Wu Jie were relatively cold, said hello to Li Yi, and retreated to the side to play.
The only sister, Li Zhi, is very enthusiastic about Li Yi, pulling Li Yi to talk a lot and asking a lot of things, it can be seen that she is the most friendly to Li Yi among these young people.
Old Man Li was dissatisfied: "Xiao Yi, you even recognize your youngest brother and sister, why don't you recognize me as a grandfather?" ”
"I've heard my mother say that the original incident was your fault, and there is no need to anger others." Li Yi smiled: "Didn't I lose to you in chess?" You can call you grandpa instead. ”
Li Laocai is not fooled, he has his own plans, smiled slightly, and was noncommittal.
Li Lao looked at the full house of children and grandchildren, and was very relieved, and called Li Shilong and said: "Shilong, you are not too young, you should set an example for your brothers and sisters, and bring a granddaughter-in-law back to grandpa as soon as possible, grandpa can think of hugging his great-grandson!" ”
Li Shilong, a big man, actually blushed, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this matter is not in a hurry." I'm still young, and when my uncle gets married and has a son, it's not too late for you to scold me again. ”
Li Yuanxiao's heart was not good, this dead boy actually shifted the target of fire. Sure enough, Li Lao glared at his youngest son: "Don't you want to slip away, call everyone back today, there are two main ideas, one is that Xiao Yi will go home!" The other is a big marriage event! You older youths, don't even think about running away! ”
Li Yuanxiao smiled: "Dad, it's coming, it's coming, it's time to talk about marriage." ”
"Then why don't you bring her back to show us?" Li Lao asked.
"She is a foreigner and is not interested in blind dates. When the time came, I naturally took her home. Li Yuanxiao said with a smile.
"Foreigners? No way! Li Lao said in a fierce voice: "How can the child of my old Li family marry a foreigner as a wife?" It's so unruly. ”
Li Yuanxiao shrugged, with a helpless expression that he knew he was like this.
The old man sighed, didn't make a sound, he glanced at Li Yi, turned around and entered the room.
Li Yi looked at Li Zhengyu, Li Zhengyu nodded, and motioned for him to follow.
