Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

"Then Qiangzi, guess what this blessing is."

Father Ran picked up the pen and wrote another word "Fu", wanting to see if Zhang Zhiqiang had guessed it just now.

When Zhang Zhiqiang took a look, he was surprised. This "Fu" didn't even look like it was written. It seemed like it was painted on. It only takes two strokes to write the word "Fu". Isn't this the legendary Jingye Fu, the most difficult character to draw?

“Is this Jingyefu?”

Zhang Zhiqiang asked tentatively.

"I didn't expect you to really understand. This is the blessing of dedication."

Father Ran nodded and said, he originally thought Zhang Zhiqiang was just guessing, but he didn't expect that he really understood it.

"Qiangzi, you are amazing and know so much."

Ran's mother gave Zhang Zhiqiang a thumbs up, saying that her son-in-law was really awesome.

Ran's father looked at Ran's mother with dissatisfaction, saying in front of him that other men were capable, but even his own son-in-law was not as good as him.

Then Ran's father wrote two more characters for "Fu", and Zhang Zhiqiang accurately said "Patriotic Fu" and "Friendly Fu".

Ran's father felt bored and continued writing couplets. He wrote quite a few. Zhang Zhiqiang said he wanted to give them away as gifts, so it didn't matter if it was just a handy thing.

Although he was working, Zhang Zhiqiang would praise him, which made Ran's father feel a little proud. So after Ran's father finished writing, he felt very happy and wanted to write dozens more.

"Qiangzi, come on, let's play two games together?"

Father Ran said to Zhang Zhiqiang while fiddling with his chess piece.

"Dad, it's almost noon. I have to prepare dinner. Would you like to take a rest first?"

Zhang Zhiqiang asked tentatively, somewhat reluctant to play chess with Ran's father.

Those who have read the previous parts should know that Ran's father's chess skills are average, and every time Zhang Zhiqiang has to think of every way to lose, which is really brain-racking.

"It's okay, Qiangzi, you can stay with your dad. He has been feeling very depressed for a while. I will make lunch, so you don't have to worry about it."

Ran's mother waved her hand and took on the task of making lunch.

"That...okay then."

Zhang Zhiqiang now had no reason to do so and could only agree.

Sitting opposite Ran's father, Zhang Zhiqiang thought about how he could try hard to make Ran's father happy and win. After all, he was his father-in-law, so he still had to take care of him.

"A shot in the arm."

Ran's father played the red chess piece first and directly used a cannon to knock down one of Zhang Zhiqiang's soldiers.

Zhang Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment. That’s good. It seems that Ran’s father has practiced a lot after leaving here. At least now he knows how to play chess.

"Mount."

Zhang Zhiqiang jumped onto the horse on the other side to prevent Ran's father from attacking the soldiers on the other side.

Ran's father decided to quit while he was ahead and also jumped onto a horse.

Zhang Zhiqiang became a little more serious. From now on, it seems that Ran's father definitely knows how to play chess, but his skills are definitely not that high.

The two played the first game for nearly fifteen minutes, and Ran's father's forehead was sweating. Looking at the limited pieces on the situation, Ran's father didn't know how to break the game.

In the end, Ran's father was defeated by Zhang Zhiqiang with a hindsight move, and Zhang Zhiqiang won the first game.

"Qiangzi is good, he won the first round."

Father Ran didn't care. This was just a practice. If he lost, he lost.

"Haha, Dad, please don't let me, this is definitely not your full strength."

Zhang Zhiqiang said with a smile that he knew the level of Ran's father through the first game, and he would know why he lost in the next game.

"One more, one more."

Ran's father did not deny it, and the two of them continued playing after setting up the chess pieces.

…………

It’s time to eat. How’s the game going for you two?

Ran's mother prepared the meal and came to see what was going on with Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Mom, I just won once at the beginning, and I never won again."

Zhang Zhiqiang said with some regret.

"Old Ran, you are so old, and you don't even bother to give way to Qiangzi."

Ran's mother blamed.

"Haha, playing chess is boring if you give in. Qiangzi is great. He has such a high level at such a young age."

In fact, Ran's father knew that Zhang Zhiqiang was asking him to do something. By talking, Zhang Zhiqiang was actually telling Ran's father what to do next. Ran's father was not stupid, so of course he could hear it.

Of course it feels great to win. Ran's father felt that he was the elder, and it was only right for Zhang Zhiqiang to give way to him. Thinking back to the time when he wanted to gain his father-in-law's concern, he even took his father-in-law with him... Well, I won't go into that.

"Okay, both of you stay here and come over to eat."

Mother Ran rolled her eyes at Father Ran and spoke.

"Come on, Qiangzi, let's continue after dinner."

Father Ran patted Zhang Zhiqiang on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, let's go, Dad."

Zhang Zhiqiang nodded in agreement. This time, Ran's father was much easier to take care of than last time. Zhang Zhiqiang was also willing to take him with him. At least it was not very tiring.

Ran's father sat down at the table with a swagger, and Zhang Zhiqiang helped Ran Qiuye to sit down first, and then went to help Ran's mother bring out the meal.

…………

In the Central Courtyard, Qin Huairu, who had been out, came back and bought everything she needed to write couplets.

"Mom, what is this for?"

Bang Geng fiddled with the things Qin Huairu brought back and asked, "They don't look like food at all. But if they're not edible, why buy them?"

"This is for writing couplets. Your grandma asked you to help write a few couplets for our family."

Qin Huairu took out the pen, ink and paper and said that there was no inkstone. When she bought it, she thought she would not need it, so she could just find a small bowl to replace it.

"Ah? Couplets? How do you write them?"

Banggeng had no idea what couplets were and was a little confused by this sudden task.

"Look over there, it's just like the one on that door."

"Seven characters on the left and seven characters on the right, and just five characters in the middle."

Qin Huairu explained, then felt unsafe and explained again.

"If you feel you can't write, you can follow the one above."

Banggeng stared at the posted couplet, his head a little confused. There were several characters he didn't recognize. Of course, it might be because of the way the calligraphy was written, some characters were not easy to recognize.

"Can I say I can't?"

Banggeng shook his head and refused, he really couldn't write.

"you guess?"

Qin Huairu asked back, why did you spend a lot of money to buy things back? Just to make money from the stick, and now you say you can't do it? How can I not do it? I must know how to do it.

"Bang Geng, your mom has bought some things, show off your skills and write a couplet for our family."

After another nap, Jia Zhang woke up and saw the things Qin Huairu bought. She immediately started shouting at the top of her voice.

"Grandma, I can't write."

Banggeng said bitterly that he had just looked at it and the tip of the pen was soft, so how could it be used for writing? He couldn't use it at all.

"No, I've studied for so many years, how could I not know it?"

"Bang Geng, this is what we use to make money, a pair of couplets costs ten cents."

"Grandma has made the decision. I'll give you three cents, no, five cents, for a pair of couplets. You can spend the money however you want."

Jia Zhang said seriously that being able to take out half was her limit, and the other half, needless to say, would definitely go into her own pocket.

"Okay, let me try."

There is always a brave man under a huge reward. Bang Geng's eyes lit up when he heard that a pair of coins cost five cents. This person must make five or ten dollars a day.

It’s several dollars. Banggeng said he had no idea how to spend so much money and agreed excitedly.
