Chapter 146: The stinky chess basket
After accompanying Li Guangbo to dinner, Li Yansong was now strolling leisurely in the courtyard to digest his food. Having experienced several life-or-death situations during this mission, Li Yansong especially cherished and enjoyed the peace and tranquility he now had.
At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open with a creak. Li Yansong turned around and saw Gu Qingyu pushing the door in with two big pig's trotters in his hands.
For a moment, both sides were a little stunned. Gu Qingyu didn't expect to run into Li Yansong digesting his food in the yard as soon as he came in; and Li Yansong was startled by the two swaying pig trotters that suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Uh...what are you doing with these two pig's trotters?" Li Yansong looked at Gu Qingyu curiously and asked puzzledly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu quickly walked over to Li Yansong, leaned slightly closer to him, raised the pig's trotter in her hand high, and said with a malicious smile, "You ask this! My grandma heard that your hand was injured, so she asked me to bring it to you to nourish your body!"
"She said, 'Like cures like!' Our family got a lot of pig's trotters this year, and she saved them for you! Don't let her kindness go to waste, and be sure to eat a few bowls to replenish your body!"
"Please thank Grandma Li for me. My injuries are almost healed. I really don't need any more treatment!" Li Yansong waved his hand and refused when he heard Gu Qingyu's words.
Just kidding, he had only heard that pregnant women needed to drink pig's trotter soup to increase milk production, but he had never heard that it was also necessary to drink pig's trotter soup after injuring his hand. On the other hand, it was because his hand was really almost healed, otherwise the doctor would not have discharged him from the hospital!
If she took it back unsealed, Li Dahua would definitely tell her off. Gu Qingyu didn't want to listen to her grandma's nagging, so she said to Li Yansong in a very blunt tone, "I don't care. If you really don't want to drink it, go talk to my grandma yourself! But you have to accept these two pig's trotters I brought today. I'm not taking them back anyway!"
"Okay, I'll go and talk to her myself. I'm going to the Gu family to visit Grandma Li tomorrow!" Li Yansong said helplessly when he saw Gu Qingyu's expression.
"That's the best. I'll go to the kitchen and put these two pig's trotters away first!" Gu Qingyu said as he carried the things to the kitchen.
"Is that Miss Qingyu?" Li Guangbo just felt that the voice in the yard sounded familiar, as if it was Gu Qingyu's voice, so he shouted outside uncertainly.
Gu Qingyu, who was walking towards the kitchen, turned around and walked towards the main hall when he heard this, and replied, "Uncle, it's me!"
Hey, it really is Qingyu girl! How come she's here again not long after she went back? Li Guangbo was still wondering why Gu Qingyu came over when he saw her carrying a pig's trotter.
"What are you doing here with a pig's trotter, Qingyu girl?"
As expected of a grandparent and grandchild, they asked the same questions. Gu Qingyu had no choice but to repeat Li Dahua's words.
Seeing Xiao Wu cleaning the table, Gu Qingyu handed over the pig's trotter and said, "Brother Xiao Wu, remember to stew this pig's trotter tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, I will wash it clean tonight and simmer it in a casserole. I guarantee that it will melt in your mouth by tomorrow." Xiao Wu took the pig's trotter, patted his chest and promised, then went to the kitchen.
"Haha, I have 100% confidence in Brother Wu's craftsmanship!" Gu Qingyu praised with a smile.
Xiao Wu felt embarrassed by Gu Qingyu's praise. He said, "I'm going to the kitchen," and ran away in a hurry.
"Qingyu girl, come here, don't leave in a hurry. How about we play another game of chess before it gets completely dark?" Li Guangbo saw that Gu Qingyu looked like she wanted to leave, so he spoke quickly.
Today, Gu Qingyu played chess with Li Guangbo all afternoon, but the old man didn't win a single game. Now that he saw Gu Qingyu coming, his chess addiction, which he had finally overcome, came back!
When Gu Qingyu heard the word "playing chess", his scalp immediately went numb. If he didn't play, he wouldn't know that Mr. Li was really a terrible chess player.
This afternoon, the old man's hands were shaking and he wanted to take back his moves. His eyes were blurry and he misread the position and he wanted to take back his moves. Even so, he didn't win a single game of chess.
Gu Qingyu was really afraid of playing chess with the old man. Just as she was worrying about how to refuse the old man's enthusiastic invitation, she saw Li Yansong, who was digesting his food outside, walk in.
Hey, no worries now!
Gu Qingyu looked at Li Yansong's figure with golden light in his eyes, which made Li Yansong, who was about to step in, stunned.
Li Yansong was still secretly happy in his heart. Why did Qingyu look at me like that? Did he suddenly discover my strengths and have some feelings for me?
But before Li Yansong could continue his fantasy, Gu Qingyu rushed over, grabbed Li Yansong's sleeve, and dragged him in front of the old man.
"Grandpa, let Brother Li play chess with you. My grandma is waiting for me to go back. I'm leaving first!" After saying this, he ran away, leaving only the father and son of the Li family staring at each other.
"Qingyu girl, why did you bring this lousy chess player here?" Li Guangbo looked at Li Yansong, curled his lips and said with disgust.
Li Yansong's mouth twitched when he heard this. He muttered to himself, with your level, you still look down on others.
If he hadn't pretended to be even worse than the old man, he would have been tortured by the old man's poor chess skills. Didn't you see that when Gu Qingyu heard about playing chess, he ran faster than a rabbit?
"So, do you still play chess?" Li Yansong asked knowingly.
"What's the point of playing chess with you? I'm not going to play anymore. I'm going back to my room to rest!" The old man stood up angrily and walked towards the room.
Seeing this, Li Yansong stepped forward, held the old man's arm, and helped him back to the room.
But Gu Qingyu ran towards the Gu family like a gust of wind, which really scared Li Dahua, who was waiting at the intersection to greet Gu Qingyu.
"You silly girl, you are running so fast, is there a ghost chasing you? You are a leader, but you are still so unstable. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?" Li Dahua looked at Gu Qingyu and said with disgust.
"There is no ghost, but my uncle wants me to play chess with him, which is scarier than being chased by a ghost!" Gu Qingyu said with lingering fear while hugging Li Dahua.
"Is this old fellow Li Guangbo's chess skills still so bad?"
"Well, it's not that I don't want to play with the old man, it's just that my uncle's level is too low. Even when I let him win, I can't beat him. He keeps losing, and he's getting more and more addicted to it!" Gu Qingyu said with a bitter face as he looked at Li Dahua.
"When we were in the village before, no one wanted to play chess with him. I didn't expect that after so many years, his chess skills haven't improved at all!" Li Dahua said with emotion.
The two of them held each other's arms and walked towards Gu's house while chatting about this topic. The gentle moonlight shone on them. At this moment, Gu Qingyu felt a rare warmth and happiness in his heart.
