"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you suddenly inviting us here?" Aunt Zhu's heart suddenly jumped when she saw so many people here.

——Isn’t it?

——Will someone make my sister-in-law unhappy again?

The others also looked serious, looking at Ye Yuran's expression, fearing that she would explode.

Old man Zhu wished he could hide in a corner, for fear that Ye Yuran would turn over "old accounts".

Others told him about Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei's marriage, and wanted to get him to agree while he was drunk, but didn't he agree?

He always thought that this matter had passed. Could it be that this matter had never passed at all? She was still here waiting for him, right?

My heart beats faster and I always have a bad feeling.

Old man Zhu also regretted that he took advantage of others and went to other people's houses to drink.

No matter how free he is, he can't...

Ye Yuran didn't know this. She asked someone to move the checkers out and said: "There is something, but it's not a big deal. Our children are all grown up now. I'm afraid that everyone will be busy, so I want to find something for everyone."

Do... Come, let us introduce you to a checkers game. You can play it regardless of whether you are literate or not. It is mainly..."

Ye Yuran didn't talk nonsense to them and directly introduced how to play checkers.

Old man Zhu on the side breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this was what he was talking about. It scared him to death.

Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu also relaxed: It’s not just about taking care of people!

"The way to play checkers is very simple. Just jump down. You see, the colors on the opposite side are the same, so what you have to jump is to jump from the color in front of you to the opposite side of you. Whoever jumps them all first

Whoever goes over will win."

"This is called continuous jumping. If you go through this line, there will be an empty space every other space, so you can jump directly there."

"Like this, you can't jump continuously, you can only jump once."

…

Listening to Ye Yuran's explanation, everyone around the table became interested.

It happened that there were eight of them, and they could set up two tables. However, almost no one wanted to sit at the same table with Ye Yuran. She could see it and did not force her. She withdrew and let them play by themselves.

Anyway, checkers only needs two or more people to complete the game. Whether it is three or four, it doesn't have much impact.

Originally, the checkers pieces were made of glass, but there was no glass in this world, and there was only something called "glazed glass"? And colored glaze was a valuable item, and it was impossible for Ye Yuran to let others buy it just for a game.

Such expensive stuff.

There is no glass, but you can use other beads, such as bamboo or wood. As long as they are round and painted in different colors, you can use them.

At the beginning, Mr. Zhu, Mrs. Zhu, and Mr. Zhu were not very good at playing. From time to time they would remind each other: "You can still go forward here."

Or they exclaimed: "How can I still play here? There is no chess here!"

"Hahahaha...Brother, are you stupid? If you leave like this, aren't you just walking into someone else's territory? How can you come back?"

"Puch... you just made a wrong move, I'm going to win, hahaha..."

…

Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu were old and slow to react. They were quickly disliked by their sons and daughters-in-law. They were assigned to a group alone, and the other five started playing by themselves.

Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Zhu listened to the laughter at the next table and cursed a few words of "unfilial piety" in her heart.

However, they are indeed not very happy to play with their sons and daughters-in-law.

It's so embarrassing that at such a young age, he still can't play with his own son!

They lost the first time and they felt uncomfortable.

Ye Yuran saw that they were getting the hang of it, so he stopped caring about it. He told the maids and women around him to be more attentive and left their space to them.

This was only the first day, and Ye Yuran didn't plan to bring out too many things. One reason was that there weren't many people there yet, so it wasn't necessary; the other was that she was afraid that she would bring out too many things and they wouldn't be able to remember them.

It's better to play with one toy and wait for them to get used to it, then switch to another one, so that you don't have to worry about which toy they can't play with in the future.

Probably because it is a new toy that they have never touched before, and Ye Yuran made it specially for them. Whether it is Zhu Laozi, Zhu Laozi, Zhu Laosan, or Zhu Laosi, they all play with it very seriously.

Because someone brought lunch, they played until dark, and then they suddenly realized: No, the day has just passed?!

"Ah, it's dark?!" Aunt Zhu looked at the sky outside and couldn't believe it. "I haven't done anything all day, just playing with this thing!"

"No, I've been playing all day!" Aunt Zhu moved her sore neck and arms.

The two of them had some unpleasant quarrels before due to matters involving their son and daughter-in-law. After playing this day, although they were still a little angry, they finally became more harmonious. They sat together and chatted, and they didn't seem to be so dissatisfied.

.

The two looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.

Comparatively speaking, Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosi were brothers, so there was not so much awkwardness. They just said it was getting late and it was time to go back. Let's play checkers tomorrow.

Just then, a housekeeper in charge of the bridge room also came over to inform them that the place was going to be closed.

Zhu Lao San, Zhu San Aunt, Zhu Lao Si, and Zhu Lao Si lived in one direction. Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu lived in the same direction. The group of people came out and separated at the door.

Before Mrs. Zhu left, she did not forget to tell her sons that their daughters-in-law should go back and live a good life and stop quarreling. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings...

Obviously, there was a rift between Aunt Zhu's third and fourth aunts' sisters-in-law, and the two elders had also heard about it, otherwise Mrs. Zhu would not have said what she said today.

Mr. Zhu patted Mrs. Zhu's hand and said, "Oh... Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We are getting old, we are getting old..."

"I know, I will worry less in the future, I just..." Mrs. Zhu did not finish her sentence.

It's said that you should worry less, but as a mother, who can really let go of their children?

In the past, when Old Zhu was having a hard time, she was worried about Old Zhu; now that the eldest daughter-in-law is capable, she built a big house by herself, and even brought the two elders over to enjoy her life. Logically speaking, she should be relieved.

But when she turned around, she saw that her third and fourth sons were in a mess again, and she became worried again.

She also knew that compared with Old Man Zhu, Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosi were a little behind, but compared with other people in Zhujiacun, there was such a capable brother in front of them, Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosi

The living conditions at home are already good.

But what is rational is rational, and emotionally, even if Mrs. Zhu can't help it, she can completely leave it alone.

As for Aunt Zhu who was told such an explanation by Mrs. Zhu, Fourth Aunt Zhu did not appreciate it, and she only felt that Mrs. Zhu was a little speechless.

When I lived with them before, I was still on their side, hello, me, hello, everyone. However, not long after arriving at my sister-in-law's house, my heart went to that other side.

--snort!

——Proper snobbery!
