"In-laws, it's almost two o'clock in the blink of an eye. In this way, I must take a nap at noon. Can I follow you when I wake up?"
Su's father and Su's mother came to Kang's house that day. As guests, after lunch, Su's mother and her mother's second brother and second sister-in-law were chatting in the living room, while Su's father and Lao Dou were playing chess aside. After descending more than thirty steps, Su's father hit the wildebeest general. Lao Dou originally wanted to advance five to one, but when he saw that the car on the other side was also ready, he proposed to take a nap.
"Hey, hey, hey, we're not missing this step. There's only one more step. If you're handsome, go into one, my car will go into eight, then you'll be dead. No matter how sleepy you are, just finish this step before going to sleep. "Of course Father Su refused to let Lao Dou go, and there was only one last move left.
"Why is it the last step? There are still many steps to go." Lao Dou naturally refused to admit that he was going to lose. "Soon, I slept until 3:30 and got up. You wait for me, Wait for me." After saying that, he ignored Su's father and went back to his room.
Su's father sighed and muttered helplessly: "If you are not satisfied, you have to wait for him even if you are short of it."
My mother quickly smoothed things over and said, "I'm really sorry, my dear uncle. My uncle is like this. He is very strict about his work and rest time. He must take a nap at noon."
"Oh, hubby, you just took a lot of steps. If you take one less step, you won't die. My relatives need to sleep." Su's mother also said, but at the moment you couldn't tell whether she was being yin and yang or really trying to persuade Su's father. .
"No, this step is different. This step will kill him." Father Su waved his hand and emphasized: "It is rare for me to beat him once, he always beats me, and it is rare for me to intimidate him. But he has to go to bed, you said he... It's true." Su's mother touched Su's father in time, and Su's father finally changed his mind and didn't say anything unpleasant.
At this time, the second sister-in-law also touched the second brother quietly and asked in a low voice: "Is your old man cheating?" The second brother said nothing but smiled meaningfully, and the second sister-in-law said He continued: "Why don't you finish it."
"Me?" The second guy was surprised.
"Otherwise, what should I do? There's no reason to ask me to wait for two minutes for him? Go ahead, go ahead." The second sister-in-law begged the second brother, and even the mother asked the second brother to finish the game of chess on behalf of Lao Dou. The second brother had no choice but to walk to the chessboard and said: "Father-in-law, are you bored? I will continue to play with you. The father's debt will be repaid by the son. If he wins, it will be Kang Qizong's, and if he loses, it will be my Lao Dou's."
One sentence made Su's father laugh. Su's father, who was depressed and unhappy just now, said with a smile on his face: "Why is the father's debt so serious? It's just a game of chess."
The second brother looked at the chess pieces and said with a smile: "I, Old Dou, don't even know how to play. I will kill you in one move." He lifted the chess piece and hit the checkmate with a hindsight check. Su's father was shocked and shouted : "Hey, hey, what are you going to do? My horse is chasing you, you have to respond."
"Is this horse green?" The second guy thought it was a red horse, he He had no choice but to withdraw his plan as a hindsight and take one step forward. Su's father's car advanced two and eight to make a decisive kill.
(This is the chessboard position that the second guy saw, it’s the red chess’ turn to move)
"Are you relieved now? You won!" Su's mother said to Su's father who looked excited: "Let's go, let's go home." When she sent them out, she kept giving them Apologize, "I'm sorry, in-laws."
During dinner in the evening, the second brother and the second sister-in-law talked about what happened at noon as a topic of conversation. After listening to this, Kang Qirui said helplessly: "Old Dou, you're only one step away from losing your good intentions. Just finish the game. It's normal for you to beat me and me to beat you in chess. Just make my second sister-in-law, Old Dou, happy." ”
“That’s right, after so many steps, what’s the one step left?” The second sister-in-law said in a strange tone next to her, “If you are one step short of winning, I think you can use sulfuric acid. You won't even go to bed, right?"
"You just got to know me, Old Dou, okay?" The second guy said very straightforwardly. The more Lao Dou listened, the more irritated he became. He said angrily: "What are you trying to expose? It's just a game of chess. Why can't I afford to lose now?"
"Old Dou, how long has it been since you played chess with Tianxiu?" Kang Qirui's words left Old Dou speechless. Only after Tianxiu defeated Old Dou in three consecutive games the year before last, Old Dou no longer wanted to play chess. I played chess with Tianxiu. You must know that Tianxiu was only 9 years old the year before last.
Lao Dou lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice. Suddenly an idea occurred to him. He raised his head and said, "Then do you think life is more important or playing chess is more important?"
Everyone was confused. What is this? Brain circuit? Can this also be discussed together?
Just listen to Lao Dou continue to say: "You all know the chicken man De at the end of the street. He usually sounds loud and full of energy, but I said he was gone early this morning."
"What? Gone?" Cantonese said that if you leave, you will die. Kang Qirui asked in surprise: "Is that Uncle De who usually has a loud voice and is in good health?"
"That's him. So when you get older, you must cherish your life." Lao Dou can always find reasonable-sounding reasons. He looked at his second sister-in-law and said: "Tell me, if you want to live a long life, You have to pay attention to yourself, especially take a nap at noon."
Zhu Wanling, a former nurse in a tertiary hospital, also nodded in agreement with Lao Dou. She said: "It is indeed a good habit for the elderly to take a nap appropriately. Yes, relevant data proves that most healthy and long-lived elderly people have a good habit of taking a nap half an hour after lunch. It is more scientific."
Lao Dou was even happier after hearing this, so he washed himself thoroughly. The suspicion of cheating and deliberately not wanting to lose was cleared. He thought for a while and then said: "By the way, the street office organizes free physical examinations for the elderly. As everyone knows, our whole family has physical examinations every six months at the expense of Rui. So this free physical examination for your mother and I I won’t go, I’ll leave it to my second sister-in-law.”
“Is this allowed?” the second sister-in-law asked uncertainly.
Lao Dou nodded, "I asked Director Ye, and she said it's okay."
Of course, the second sister-in-law is very happy to be able to send herself to the hospital for a physical examination without paying any money. After eating, she asked her second brother to drive her to Su's house, but Su's father was unwilling to receive this free physical examination.
"Well, nothing happened, why should I go for a physical examination?" Su's father said.
"Why don't you go for free? You smoke so many cigarettes every day, you can just go and get your black lungs treated." Su's mother was in favor of it. The second brother was also advising from the side: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law are right. Also, I heard that there is a special car to pick you up."
"Go, go, where are you going?" Su's father listened. After hearing this, he became furious. He slapped the table and shouted loudly: "We are going to the hospital now, not the park. Sir, please go to the hospital properly. Even if you are not sick, you can see that you are sick."
"I myself Don’t I know my health? If I’m sick, I’ll go see a doctor. But I’m not sick now. Why are you forcing me to go to the hospital? As long as we have three big meals a day, eat well, absorb it well, and digest it well. Okay, isn’t that enough?”
Su's father said that his mouth was dry. After drinking a large amount of water, he continued to his second sister-in-law: "Look, your great-grandfather is eighty-six years old. Your grandpa is ninety-two years old. Have you ever heard that they went to do a physical examination?" What about taking a nap? It's a blessing to be able to eat. As long as you can still eat, your health will be fine. You, I'm only sixty today. I have a lot of time to live. Don't ask me to go to the hospital day after day. I've heard that. I have a headache.”(End of Chapter)
