Siheyuan: Since 51

There was not a cloud in the sky, not a breath of wind in the air.

The scorching sun baked the earth hot.

The jujube trees in the courtyard have layers of leaves that curl up tiredly, interpreting the laziness and heat of midsummer.

Under the tree, stone table.

Lin Jialiang wore a long-sleeved shirt, trousers and cloth shoes, and held a palm-leaf fan in his hand.

Tima was shocked and shouted, "General!"

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses, scanned the chessboard carefully, and frowned, "Brother Lin, no, no, I wasn't paying attention just now, and I made a bad move."

Saying that, it’s time to get started.

Lin Jialiang quickly stopped him and said with a hearty laugh: "Brother Yan, this won't do. Don't regret your move!"

Yan Bugui forced a smile at the corner of his mouth, and with an idea, he moved the veteran out of the Nine Palaces.

Lin Jialiang's eyes suddenly widened, "Brother Yan, why... don't you play according to the rules?"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"Brother Lin, you have to speak with conscience! The command post has been surrounded by you. If the commander doesn't run away, is he waiting to die?"

Lin Zhiyuan just took a puff of cigarette and almost choked. He glared at Yan Bugui with a frown on his face.

Lin Jialiang was also a little dumbfounded, "You...according to what you said, I..."

As he said that, he picked up the soldier, took two steps forward, ate the veteran, and raised his hands, "Thank you."

"Brother Lin, how can a soldier like you take two steps?"

"Forced march, that's reasonable!" Lin Jialiang spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.

Yan Bugui hesitated for a long time and raised his thumb.

"Cattle!"

As he said this, he waved his finger at Lin Jialiang and Lin Zhiyuan, "You two are awesome, I won't let you down!"

Xu Fugui was not polite at all and pushed Yan Bugui, "If you don't want to get off, get out of the way. I'll do it."

The chessboard had just been set up when two people walked in through the Moon Gate.

Liu Haizhong was facing west and was the first to see it. He stood up and said, "Secretary Chu."

The others also looked sideways.

Lin Jialiang was stunned for a moment, took a closer look, then stood up and gestured, "Come on, Brother Yan, you go down."

As he spoke, he looked suspicious and stepped forward to ask in surprise, "Are you Chu Dashan?"

The people who came were Chu Chen and his son.

Chu Dashan smiled, "The crazy scholar, isn't that me?"

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I didn't expect to meet you here..."

As he spoke, Lin Jialiang was suddenly startled, "No, why are you here? Do you know my nephew?"

"More than knowing each other, we are relatives now!"

As he spoke, Chu Dashan raised his eyebrows, "Zhiyuan, you didn't even say hello when you saw me?"

Lin Zhiyuan came forward with a question mark on his forehead, "Uncle Chu, do you know my second uncle?"

Lin Jialiang was confused and looked at the two of them, "What's the matter with relatives?"

Chu Dashan asked with a smile: "Crazy scholar, you want me to chat with you here in such a hot sun?"

"Blame me. Let's go to my room and talk." Lin Jialiang said, and waved to Lin Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, come here and serve."

God damn, that’s Zhihui’s, okay?

Lin Zhiyuan rolled his eyes.

After three days of getting along, the uncle and nephew became quite interesting.

One is ordered around in various ways, the other is reluctant.

Others, including Wu Xia, mistakenly believed that the two had a good relationship and were not shy about being together.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't think much about it, Lin Jialiang had his own reasons.

East wing.

Lin Zhiyuan brewed a pot of tea and the four of them sat down in the living room.

Lin Jialiang extended his hand and gestured, "Try it, Yuhang Longjing."

Then, he nodded towards Chu Chen and said, "Is this your son?"

Chu Chen hurriedly greeted, "Uncle Lin, my name is Chu Chen."

Chu Dashan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and curled up the corners of his mouth.

"Crazy scholar, my niece married your nephew, do you think we are relatives?"

Lin Jialiang paused, frowned and asked, "Is Xiaoying your niece?"

……

After a few words, in less than half an hour, Lin Zhiyuan figured out the relationship between Lin Jialiang and Chu Dashan.

There were more than 5,000 classmates in the fourth class of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. Both of them were from Beijing and had contact with each other. However, since they were not in the same team, they could only say that their relationship was okay.

After graduation, one was sent to the Shanxi Provincial Army, and the other returned to the capital to do underground work.

Glancing at Chu Chen and his son, Lin Zhiyuan asked suspiciously, "Brother Chen, did you know this a long time ago?"

After all, they are relatives, so Lin Zhiyuan is no longer polite to Chu Chen in private and starts calling him Brother Chen.

"Don't think too much. I didn't know it at first."

Chu Chen explained first, then chuckled.

"After you helped my sister, she mentioned you at home. My dad mentioned Uncle Lin. After we talked to each other, I felt that it was probably true. After some investigation, I was basically sure..."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded thoughtfully.

"So, that's why you called me back home to meet Uncle Chu when I went to Xiaoying's house?"

Chu Dashan laughed, "I'm just confirming this! I have to say, everyone in your Lin family is pretty good looking."

We chatted for a while and it was almost noon.

Lin Jialiang ordered: "Zhiyuan, go make something delicious and treat your uncle Chu to a couple of drinks."

"it is good!"

Since there were outsiders present, Lin Zhiyuan didn't keep silent and responded cheerfully.

Several female comrades in the family went out early and went shopping together. Wang Aimin and Qin Huaiwu returned to the village, leaving only the uncle and nephew, and Lin Zhiyuan did not make much preparation.

I went out for a walk for half an hour and got a fish, two pounds of tofu, four bottles of Fenjiu, and some vegetables.

In Xiaokuayuan, the chess stall has been disbanded.

Considering his poor cooking skills, Lin Zhiyuan decisively went to find He Daqing.

The door of the He family's room was open, and Sha Zhu was sitting in the living room with a cigarette in his mouth.

Lin Zhiyuan stood at the door and asked, "Shazhu, your father is not here?"

Sha Zhu stood up quickly, "Brother Zhiyuan, he's out, what do you want with him?"

"Hey, there are guests at home, isn't this..."

Lin Zhiyuan said, raising his eyebrows, "Can you help me cook?"

"Okay, it's just a few dishes, leave it to me!"

Sha Zhu’s cooking skills were quite good, and in less than an hour, six dishes and a soup were ready.

The combination of meat and vegetables, plus Fenjiu, is both satisfying and filling.

The drinking party begins.

Lin Zhiyuan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Uncle Chu, Brother Chen, my second uncle has just been discharged from the hospital and is not fully recovered yet. I will take over today. I hope you can forgive me."

After eating the fruit, Lin Jialiang's body had recovered a long time ago, and he was a little craving for wine, so he waved his hand immediately.

"Zhiyuan, it's okay. It's rare for you to meet your uncle Chu. I have to accompany you no matter what I say."

Chu Dashan raised his eyebrows and advised: "Crazy scholar, don't go crazy. Anyway, we are in the capital, there are plenty of opportunities."

"It's really not a problem..."

Before Lin Jialiang finished speaking, Lin Zhiyuan could not help but remind him, "Second Uncle, if you want to drink, you should hold back for a few more days. If you really drink today, Second Aunt will not be in a good mood when she comes back."

"I..." Lin Jialiang sighed, "Okay, I'll accompany you for three cups, right?"

Three cups of wine were less than an ounce, so Lin Zhiyuan didn't insist any longer.

We didn't drink much, we just chatted and reminisced.

The show ended at around three o'clock.

He sent the Chu father and son to the gate and watched them leave.

Lin Zhiyuan was about to clean up the east wing when Lin Jialiang waved at him expressionlessly.

"Zhiyuan, close the door and wait for your second aunt and the others to come back and clean up. Come with me, I have something to ask you!"
