Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosi were not as thoughtful as they were. They kept talking about checkers without saying a word.

"If I hadn't made the wrong move, I would have definitely won this round."

"Impossible, even if you make the right move and go that way, I can still beat you."

"Impossible! You are not as good at playing as I am, and you will lose to me..."

"How can there be so many? It's obviously you who lost to me..."

…

Two people say one thing to you and the other to me. No one is willing to admit that he loses more than the other person.

After a while, they actually got a little more angry and their voices got louder.

No, I happened to bump into an old man coming back from the fields.

"What's going on? Why did you two get into a quarrel? What do you mean by losing or winning?" The old man looked confused.

——Aren’t these two families at odds with each other?

——What, have you reconciled?

"Is it you? Have you just come back from going to the fields outside?"

"Well! I just came back. Where are you? Where did you come back from?"

"We just came back from our sister-in-law's place. Our sister-in-law set up a bridge room and asked us to help her maintain the place. We accidentally spent the whole day playing..."

"What? What's the bridge?"

"Bridge Room."

"What's that for?"

"It's just a place for us seniors to kill time and play."

…

After Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosi's explanation, the old man finally understood that it turned out that Aunt Zhu, an old woman, had cleared out the old yard and made a place for the elderly to play, called a bridge room.

Zhu Laosan, Zhu Laosi and their family spent the whole day there today.

"What kind of thing can you play for a day?"

"Is it really that fun?"

"Really?! Then...can I go tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow too, we agreed."

…

The old man heard that the bridge room was so interesting, how could he miss it?

He is so old, even older than old man Zhu. As a result, he can stay at home and have a place to play. It's good for him. He has to work in the fields behind his sons and grandsons. It's such a loss.

.

When he got home, the old man told the old woman about it.

The old woman looked surprised: "Aunt Zhu's new thing?! Is it really that fun? We are no worse than them. We are building new houses, selling maids, buying land... If you really want to play,

What about the work in the fields?”

"What? The autumn harvest is over. We are not waiting for the rice from the fields to be cooked. It doesn't matter if we delay it for a day." The old man said unconvinced, "Besides, I have given birth to so many sons, let them help me with some work.

What's wrong with the work in the fields? I'm not going alone, so Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosi are also going, too?"

You can't compare with Mr. Zhu, but you can always compare with Mr. Zhu Laosan and Mr. Zhu Laosi, right?

After saying this, the old lady didn't persuade her any more.

She thought about it, and estimated that she had been there once or twice. With her knowledge, she estimated that the old man at home would not go.

But what the old woman didn't expect was that as soon as the old man left, he would be like a meat bun beating a dog and never come back.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the old man said hello to the old lady and went to Old Man Zhu's old house.

Sure enough, when he entered the yard, the old man discovered that the Zhu family's old house had been renovated.

Unlike his yard at home, where the ground was full of potholes, it had long been filled in with wooden boards one after another.

Only around the corner were some flower beds, in which some common flowers and plants were planted.

I don’t know how Old Man Zhu’s house is tidied up, but it looks better than the ones in their own yard.

"Here you go, sit down quickly and I'll teach you how to get off."

"Oh..." The old man entered the room and looked at the things on the table, a little confused, "Is this the checkers you mentioned?"

"Yes, this is checkers, this is the chessboard, these are the beads..." Zhu Laosan introduced enthusiastically. While introducing, he and Zhu Laosi demonstrated to the old man.

The gameplay is very simple, even people who don't read will understand it after a little explanation.

The old man was very happy and thought that the reason why Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosi were so enthusiastic was because they thought highly of him.

Who knows, people think he is a newcomer and wants to "bully" the newcomer.

The poor old man had no idea how badly he would be bullied by the Zhu brothers who worked together to calm him down.

When Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu saw it, they only felt a little sympathy in their hearts and stopped caring.

They are older and probably not as good as this old man. If his sons and daughters-in-law hadn't been "filial", they would have been "bullied".

As usual, they did not go down together with their son, daughter-in-law, and they were alone. Occasionally they looked up at the fierce battlefield next door and ate.

"Zhu Laosan, why are you running so fast?!"

"It's alright. Look, is there a gap between them?"

"Wait a minute, why can't I jump over?!"

"Hey! Didn't you see that I could have jumped over just now, but in order to block your move, I gave up and jumped here... just in time to fill your path." A look of pride on his face.

"Zhu Laosi?!" He gritted his teeth angrily.

"Hehehehehe..."

"Why did I lose?!"

"Hahahaha... don't worry, it's just the beginning. You've just learned it. It's normal. Once you practice it a few more times, you won't be like this anymore."

…

The poor old man was bullied miserably by Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Zhu.

The old man was so angry that he couldn't do anything about them, because he was the one who lost, and it wasn't them who cheated.

When he got down to the back, he was almost so angry that he didn't want to get off.

Fortunately, he was not the only newcomer. When Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosi went out this morning, they met the old men in the village and invited a few of them.

It's just that those old men came later.

So, the old man finally had a chance to "win" someone else, and the anger in his heart dissipated.

Within a few days, the young people in the village discovered that their old men and women no longer wanted to work in the fields, so they turned to them one after another, and they disappeared without knowing where they were.

"What's going on? Why did dad go out so early in the morning?"

"I don't know," Aunt Liu said, "I seem to have made an appointment with someone. It's been like this since the past few days. I go out early and come back late. I don't know what I'm doing. Except for coming back for dinner, I've been there all day.

No one was seen."

…

When there are too many people in the bridge room, the few pairs of checkers are not enough to play, so everyone comes in line to play one game at a time.

Seeing that this was not the solution, Old Man Zhu told Ye Yuran and asked her to make more copies.

Ye Yuran didn't expect that the bridge room would be crowded with so many people so quickly, but thinking about the number of elderly people in Zhujia Village, she picked up some games that were easier to learn and moved them out, such as backgammon, flying chess, etc.

Only then did everyone realize that besides checkers, there were so many other types of chess that could be played.

Ye Yuran started to play new chess games, while asking those who learned chess, Go, playing cards, Mahjong's subordinates, see what they think.

In contrast, the entry of Go is simpler than chess, but it is difficult to put Go to Go.

However, Ye Yuran doesn't need to be so good, knowing the rules, you can take the elderly in the village to play together.

There are more card players than Mahjong, and there are many simple ways of gameplay, which can be raised at a level and one level.

Ye Yuran decided to let the subordinates bring the old man to play cards. Starting from simple gameplay, when they are familiar, they will be complicated.

If the card is well played, not only has a lot of tricks, but also a lot of fun. If you don't pay attention, it will pass in half a day.

In this way, under the arrangement of Ye Yuran, the bridge room of Zhujiacun opened quietly. The elderly in the village were stationed here. Except for three meals a day and the housing house, they didn't want to leave.
