Chapter 77 Chess is like life

He hasn't figured out the matter about his second uncle yet. Grandpa told him not to be impulsive and to think carefully about marriage and divorce.

No matter how stupid a person is, it is impossible for him to have no feelings in his heart. Grandpa still hopes that his second uncle can live a good life with his second uncle.

Listening to his soft words of persuasion, Wu Jiangshan felt as if those bad things were nothing.

Although grandma was very dissatisfied with the second uncle, she never argued with grandpa. At most, she would just nag a few words.

It is said that an old person in a family is like a treasure. Now that there are two old treasures in the family, Wu Jiangshan just hopes that they can live a long and healthy life and not have to worry about their children and grandchildren.

The family had lunch quietly, and Wu Jiangshan played a game of chess with his grandfather, using the new chessboard given by Mr. Cui from the provincial capital.

Wu Jiangshan concentrated his efforts, but in the end he lost his troops. He scratched his head and thought about playing another game, but his grandfather had already started to pack up the chess pieces.

"Jiangshan, being a human being is just like playing chess. There are gains and losses, but you have to think about what you can gain and what you can lose before playing chess."

“If you lose at chess next time, you can start over again, but in life and work, if you act impulsively, many things cannot be repeated.”

Grandpa put away the chessboard and touched Wu Jiangshan's head with a smile: "Grandpa is happy that you stood up for your second uncle and found the cow for the family. But if you get injured by a cow or break it, you have to squat.

In this prison, grandpa will not be happy guarding the cows, and your parents will have to worry about your milk. Do you think this is true?"

The old man spoke softly, but these words seemed to penetrate Wu Jiangshan's eyes and heart.

"Master, I remember." Wu Jiangshan's eyes turned red.

"Okay, just remember it, go ahead and play, I'll go take a nap."

Grandpa smiled and took the chessboard back to the house. Wu Jiangshan sat under the eaves and let out a long sigh of relief.

Even if he were reborn ten times, he might not have the thorough mentality and wisdom that his grandfather had.

After sitting for a while, he looked at the clothes his mother had washed for him hanging on the long rope in the yard. On the fence beside the yard gate, his two shoes were hanging upside down, and they turned snow-white again.

There was also a big yellow cow in the cowshed, waving its tail leisurely to drive away mosquitoes and flies, and suddenly felt very peaceful in his heart.

After changing into the clothes he wore when going out, it was still a thin double-breasted cloth jacket made by his grandma and black cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, but Wu Jiangshan managed to show off the superiority of a big-name brand.

After being nagged by his mother and saying hello to his family, Wu Jiangshan carried a cloth bag and went to town again.

...

Zhong Dagu's business was not done at noon today. A female worker bought two lunch boxes of spicy fried river prawns from him yesterday evening. After going back to eat, she had diarrhea all night long.

When Zhong Dagu came to set up his stall at noon, the men in her family came to knock down his stall.

Three pots full of fish and shrimp, and two pots of spicy fried crabs were all placed on the floor.

Zhong Dagu fought with the man, and finally the factory workers pulled him away.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and sometimes a sip of cold water can make you feel sick, but it doesn't necessarily mean eating the shrimps sold by Zhongdagu is bad.

The workers in the knitting factory have been buying the small fish and shrimps from Zhongda Ancient Stall for a while, and no one has had any problems with it.

Besides, one yuan gives you a full lunch box, which is really cheap and delicious.

Therefore, many people who bought it advised them to separate the two.

When the man saw that there were so many people helping him to speak, he couldn't take advantage, so he threw his arms and walked away.

As for Zhong Dagu, he lost dozens of yuan for nothing.

When Wu Jiangshan walked to the town, he saw that it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. He estimated that Zhong Dagu was probably going to Weitang again.

But when I arrived at Zhong Dagu's house, I found that the doors and windows of his home were wide open, and the pots and pans were all cleaned and hung to dry everywhere in the yard.

"Are you going to clean up? Why are you suddenly so diligent today?"

As soon as Wu Jiangshan said something, Zhong Dagu, who was working vigorously, turned around and said, "Come here, I'll clean up. Hey? What's wrong with your head?"

"Oh, don't mention it. Why did you remember to clean up the kitchen?"

When Zhong Dagu heard the inquiry, he was a little dejected: "Someone came to see me today and said that they were upset after eating the shrimp I cooked."

"Then what?"

"He destroyed all my stalls. I didn't make a penny at noon today, and I wasted all my seasonings and oil."

"Who?"

Zhong Dagu shook his head: "I don't know him. He said that his wife bought my shrimp yesterday and kept him there all night."

Wu Jiangshan frowned slightly: "It's inevitable to eat snacks. No fight, right?"

"No, the people in the factory opened the door."

"As long as it's okay, then I won't do it today." Wu Jiangshan patted Zhong Dagu on the shoulder: "If there is anything left that has not been finished, I will do it for you."

Zhong Dagu poured out the dirty water in the bucket: "It's okay, it's all done. I'll make it cleaner this time. The fish and shrimp are all fresh, and they can't be eaten bad anymore."

Wu Jiangshan didn't say anything. When someone is deliberately looking for trouble, it doesn't matter how clean he is.

"Jiang Shan, are you okay now? Why don't you go sell it? I will go down to Weitang specifically."

"I still have something to do. Come on, I'll take you for a walk." Wu Jiangshan smiled and pulled Zhong Dagu up.

The two locked the courtyard door and rode away on Zhang Denna's bicycle.

Wu Jiangshan carried Zhong Dagu to the entrance of the cinema. There was no one at the entrance of the cinema.

The door was also closed tightly, and the whole building looked dusty and desolate from the outside.

I rode my bicycle around the cinema. Behind the cinema, there were bungalows of different heights and haystacks.

There is a small door on each side, one of which is open.

Wu Jiangshan parked his bicycle at the door and locked it, then led Zhong Dagu through the small door.

As soon as you enter, you will find a corridor, which is dark without sunlight. Walking further in, you will see a shirtless man coming out.

They were probably in their forties, and when they saw Wu Jiangshan and the others, they looked a little impatient.

"What are you doing? There's no movie today, we're going out."

Wu Jiangshan smiled: "Uncle Shen, we are not here to watch a movie. We want to come to the cinema."

"What movie theater are you going to see? It's not open now, so get out quickly."

"You can't chase me away. The leaders of the town government asked me to come."

"Town government? Which leader?"

"Ningleshan, let me take a look at the current facilities and area of ​​the cinema. The government is planning to reopen this place."

The middle-aged man looked suspicious. He hadn't received the notice.

Wu Jiangshan smiled and led Zhong Dagu forward: "Uncle, please show me the way. We can just take a look. We may also ask you a few questions. I hope you will cooperate with the work."

Seeing his appearance and tone, the middle-aged man couldn't tell whether it was true or false for a moment, so he could only follow him inside.

"Uncle Shen, you've been working here for almost two years, right? How much salary can you get per month now?"

Shen Hongxing was sure that he didn't know Wu Jiangshan. He didn't have much contact with people after coming here to work.
