The ups and downs of the urban jungle

Although Sun Jian was discharged from the hospital, his body had not fully recovered. After all, he had injured his muscles and bones and underwent major surgery. Therefore, Ding Pei did not push Gao Ming too much when it came to finding a job. Therefore, Sun Jian is still recuperating and spends time with his parents every day. This is also the filial piety that modern children lack the most towards their parents.

Ding Pei's father has been a scholar all his life, he has been pure and devoid of desires, and he has been aloof and proud. Such intellectuals didn't feel that much when they were on the job, but they were really lonely after retirement. The fun activities are all vulgar and he doesn't know anything about them; he scorns and doesn't get along with them in entertainment and leisure activities. Until now, the only leisure game that I can still accept and admit to myself is playing chess. Play chess, just play chess. Under the shade of a tree or by the flower bed, you can usually see those old men with their faces red and sweating. Ding Pei's father also dismissed and sneered at this. He could wander around all day long, looking here and there, but he would never participate in a battle in person. He would not be able to escape if he won, and would lose face if he lost. He still couldn't let go of this air.

This also destined him to live in his own world for the rest of his life, reveling in his own nobility and savoring his own loneliness.

Sun Jian was ill at home, and Ding Pei's father first asked him if he could play chess.

Playing chess, Sun Jian is a child who grew up in the countryside. He has watched adults play this kind of game since he was a child, and he has mastered it himself. He is not yet at the age to prepare for the college entrance examination with all his strength. Between children, children and adults In between, they often set up a battlefield to fight for several games. But basically by the time you reach high school, you have neither the time nor the interest to play this kind of game anymore. I don’t know if I can be happy with the old man at this level.

Since you can play, you're welcome. The old man even bought a collectible chess set for this purpose. The two began to test each other and fight. Although the old man doesn't do much actual combat, he has seen a lot and his level is naturally not bad. At the beginning, Sun Jian was completely killed and was unable to resist. At first, the old man had a sense of accomplishment, but this kind of game is not on the same level, and it will become boring after a long time. Now it's Sun Jian's turn to be embarrassed

"Why! My dad has only had this hobby in his life. If you are really filial, then improve your chess skills. As the saying goes, when you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent. My dad hopes that you can beat him and he will be happy."

"dad! Then can you give me a few days, I will definitely satisfy you"

"How many days can you give me to satisfy me? well! The train is neither pushed nor blown. How about I give you three days?"

"Three days should be enough!"

"Three days? Can you beat me? hehe! Ambitious, I like it."

Ding Pei's mother happened to come out and smiled happily at the two men:"Look at you! It's nice to have someone to play with you. Do you need to be so serious? Xiaojian! Ignore him, he always likes competition in his life"

"mom! My dad is testing my IQ. I will definitely get his approval within three days."

"real?"

"I have always been a top student in school and have a very high IQ."

"real? Are you still a top student? How could that happen?——"Ding Pei suddenly felt that he had made a mistake and quickly stopped talking. Sun Jian also heard what he was saying, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Clean up and eat quickly."

Ding Pei's mother quickly interrupted to ease the embarrassment.

After dinner, the elderly are used to taking a nap. Sun Jian returned to the room and began to search for information on the Internet. Ding Pei put away the dishes, knocked on the door gently and came in, leaning against him from a distance. Looking at Sun Jian by the door frame

"sister——"

"sorry! I just——"

"sister! What are you doing? This is what it is. I just felt uncomfortable, and I'm not angry with you. Ding

Pei felt relieved and stepped in front of Sun Jian, staring at the computer screen:"Can you really beat my dad in three days?""

"I played this game when I was a kid, and I still have the basics, but I haven’t played it for a long time and lack practical experience. I just played a few games with my dad, and I also saw his shortcomings. He has a lot of practical experience, but his foundation is not solid. I have been reading more chess records and practicing more endgames in the past few days. My dad is no match for me."

"Hey hey hey! Don't take it too seriously, okay? My dad - do you know the old and young restoration?"Ding Pei then raised his head and glanced at Sun Jian.

"Of course I know that. Even if my level improves, I can only win one game and lose two every time, just to make my dad happy."

"You kid, you have a good IQ and a decent emotional intelligence, so you can be my father’s son."

"I don’t deserve to be your younger brother?"

"Okay!"

"What?"

"Don't be too proud. I used to be a top student in school, you know?"

"She should still be the school beauty, right?"

"Of course!"

"But sister——"

Sun Jian blurted out but hesitated. The two people's eyes touched each other inadvertently, and they were both nervous for a moment. Ding Pei calmed down and asked weakly

"Are you still angry with your sister? Sister, I didn’t mean it"

"No, no, me too - I think if I go out to pursue a career, I might become a big star."

"So what? Is that happiness?"

"Yes, reality is too cruel, and all snakes bite. In my life - meeting my sister is the greatest happiness."

Sun Jian said, his eyes were red and moist. Ding Pei casually passed by and immediately showed a relaxed look on his face.

"younger brother! In the vast sea of ​​​​people, we can meet each other like this, and still have such a fate as brother and sister. This is also my sister's luck. Those of our generation who grew up in the city are basically only children and have been lonely since childhood. Now that parents are old, girls are thrown out of the water when they get married, and the old people feel more and more deserted and lonely. I have always felt guilty, but now I feel better. Now that you have shown me my filial piety, I feel much more at ease."

"Um! I must honor my parents and work hard to never let my sister down."

"Sister believes in you and thinks highly of you!"

Although Sun Jian and Ding Pei have known each other for so long by accident, they have never had the opportunity to communicate like this. Maybe there is some connection and fate between people. Otherwise, the two It was the first time for complete strangers to talk and communicate like this, and it was as if they had a tacit understanding, so familiar and tacit understanding.
