Chapter 246
Fu Zhengzheng hears Han Siqi’s phone ring and thinks it’s Han Sixian to urge him for the video meeting, but Han Siqi takes out his phone, has a look and says it’s not his brother .
She moves closer to have a look and finds it’s her brother Zhen Chao .
Why does her brother call Han Siqi instead of her? She feels strange, and Han Siqi connects the phone .
“OK . But I will have a video meeting soon . Later . OK . ” Han Siqi talks a few more and then hangs up the phone .
“What did my brother say?”
“He made an appointment with me . ”
“Where?”
“South of the city . ”
“South of the city? Is my brother back again?”
“It should be . ”
Fu Zhengzheng is confused, “Why is it so mysterious? Why will you meet each other in the south of the city instead of meeting at home?”
“He didn’t tell me what it’s about . But now that he asked me to go to the south of the city, I think it should be related to the resort . I’ll go to the video meeting now . ”
Then Han Siqi walks out of the kitchen .
Fu Zhengzheng stops him immediately, “Where Qiao Keren lives is near to the south of the city . I want to go with you . I will go to see them when you talk to my brother . ”
“OK, but the meeting will last for quite a while . I’ll call you after it’s over . ”
Fu Zhengzheng nods and Han Siqi goes upstairs .
After Fu Zhengzheng tidies the kitchen, she goes to the sitting room . The laptop has been closed . Fu Xing is doing homework, and her father Zhen Mingzhi is studying his chess skill – he is playing chess with himself, while Han Tengyue is sitting nearby and staring at the chessboard . Her mother Chen Yuying is sitting close to Fu Xing and knitting the sweater . Ji Yashu is sitting on a stool beside Fu Xing, watching him do homework and teaching him occasionally .
Fu Zhengzheng serves a glass of tea to Han Tengyue and puts it on the edge of the table lightly .
For fear that Han Tengyue will feel bored, she wants to turn on the TV, “Dad, let me turn on the TV for you . I’ll ask Fu Xing to do homework in the room . ”
Han Tengyue waves to stop her immediately, “I don’t want to watch TV . Just let him do homework here . ”
Fu Zhengzheng knows if Fu Xing enters the room to do homework, her parents won’t allow them to enter it, so she says nothing . Looking around, she says, “How about giving you some books?”
Han Tengyue stands up suddenly and rushes to Zhen Mingzhi, which startles Fu Zhengzheng . Before she makes a reaction, Han Tengyue says urgently, “Hey, old man, how can you move like that? You will lose if you move in that way! The white chessman should move here! Even a three-year-old kid won’t move there!”
Zhen Mingzhi manages to work out such a move after racking his brains . When he is about to drop the chessman, Han Tengyue stops him . He looks unhappy and moves the chair on purpose to block Han Temgyue’s eyes .
“Don’t you know that a true gentleman should keep silent when he watches chess . ”
In fact, he admires Han Tengyue’s warning, because the white chessman can get the upper hand immediately after it drops . But how can he bear Han Tengyue’s disdainful tone? Therefore, he doesn’t follow Han Tengyue’s advice deliberately .
Of course, Fu Zhengzheng sees the benefit of that move, so she smilingly puts the white chessman that just dropped to where Han Tengyue points .
“Dad, I think Fu Xing’s grandpa is right . The white chessman should move like that, or you will lose soon . ”
Zhen Mingzhi throws a glare at his daughter instantly and is discontented that she helps an outsider, but he doesn’t move the white chess again .
“I play chess with myself . Failure is also a victory . ”
Listening to his arrogant words, Han Tengyue laughs coldly and then goes back to his seat .
Fu Zhengzheng serves a glass of tea to her father too and smiles, “Dad, Fu Xing’s grandpa is accomplished at chess . If you hope the uncles in the military area command look at you with quite different eyes, you should learn from Fu Xing’s grandpa . ”
What Fu Zhengzheng says makes Han Tengyue complacent . He looks sideways at Zhen Mingzhi .
Zhen Mingzhi snorts with a darkened face, “Don’t I know the old guys’ chess skill? So long as I spend time studying it, I will outstrip them for sure . I don’t need to learn from others . ”
Then he picks up a black chessman and plans to drop it . Han Tengyue rises in a rush again .
“If your black chessman moves here and the white chessman drops here, you will be beaten!”
Zhen Mingzhi’s hand suspends above the chessboard . He looks at where Han Tengyue points with a more disapproving expression . Then he throws away the chessman angrily .
“You only give directions behind . If you are so capable, just play it!”
“Why not?” Han Tengyue carries a stool over directly and sits down opposite to Zhen Mingzhi .

Fu Zhengzheng helps them collect the chessmen quickly and adjust the position of the chessboard .
Fu Xing, who is doing homework, puts down the pencil, runs over and cheers, “Grandpa and grandfather play chess . I am the judge . Let’s see who is better . ”
Zhen Mingzhi has seen that Han Tengyue has outstanding chess skills . Hearing what Fu Xing says, he throws the chess box on the chessboard, “I won’t play it . ”
Fu Xing is disappointed, “Grandfather, why?”
Han Tengyue says complacently, “Your grandfather knows he can’t beat me, so he doesn’t dare to accept the challenge . ”
Zhen Mingzhi is irritated and grabs the chess box immediately, “Who says I don’t dare to accept the challenge? I have never encountered anything I don’t dare to do in the past sixty years since I was born!”
Fu Zhengzheng mediates at once, “It’s only a game to practice the chess skill . Don’t take it so seriously . ”
Fu Xing says suddenly, “The competition is less important than friendship . When we compete in kindergarten, teachers always say that . ”
His words make them look at each other and then laugh out . The atmosphere becomes less tense .
Ji Yashu and Chen Yuying give a thumbs-up to Fu Xing simultaneously and praise, “Xingxing is great . ”
Fu Zhengzheng lays out chessmen on the chessboard again and smiles, “Even a kid knows that . As adults, we should set up a good example for him . ”
Then she turns around and whispers to Zhen Mingzhi, “Dad, you can take advantage of this chance to learn the chess skill from Fu Xing’s grandpa . I promise your chess skills will make great progress! Then you can show off in front of the uncles in the military area command . ”
Zhen Mingzhi reaches out and says generously, “You first . ”
Han Tengyue waves his hand lightly, “You first . ”
Zhen Mingzhi is looked down on, so of course, he is reluctant to move first .
Seeing them give way to each other, Fu Xing begins to persuade them at once, “Rock, paper, scissors! Grandpa, grandfather, come on . I want to watch you play chess . ”
They glance at Fu Xing with loving eyes and don’t want to disappoint him . Then they reach an agreement that Zhen Mingzhi moves first in the first round while Han Tengyue moves first in the second round .
Ji Yashu carries a stool for Fu Xing . Then he sits down, bends over the table and looks with great interest .
Seeing them play chess carefully, Fu Zhengzheng feels relieved and goes to cut fruit .

Chen Yuying measures the mostly finished sweater on Fu Xing and asks, “Honey, do you think the sweater should be longer?”
Twisting her head, she finds Fu Zhengzheng is not in the sitting room .
Ji Yashu, who feels bored, hears that and looks at the sweater with beautiful patterns . She says in a favorable tone, “Knit it longer . It will be hot soon and the sweater will be useless . In the next half of the year, Xingxing will grow taller . ”
Chen Yuying agrees with her . She sits down with the sweater and says, “I think so too . Children grow taller clearly . Their heights change more apparently in their teens . ”
“Not only they grow taller, but also their feet grow longer . I remember when Muxian was a teen, his shoes bought in the first half of the year became small definitely in the next half of the year . ”
“Yes, you are right . So was my son Chaochao . ”
Ji Yashu sits beside Chen Yuying unconsciously, touches the semi-finished sweater and says, “The sweater knitted by hand is very warm, but it takes a long time to knit one . It’s too troublesome . It can save trouble to buy one . ”
“It has a different meaning to knit for your own children, and it will be warmer to wear . ”
“But it looks difficult to knit . ”
“No . ” Chen Yuying slows down her actions warm-heartedly to show her .
When Fu Zhengzheng comes out with fruit, she finds her mother and Han Siqi’s mother are having a small talk . She feels very surprised and glad secretly . She passes a fruit tray to them calmly and smiles, “Mom, have some fruit . ”
“OK . ” Chen Yuying responds, but she doesn’t stop knitting .
Ji Yashu ignores Fu Zhengzheng too and keeps staring at Chen Yuying’s hands as if she wants to have a try .
Fu Zhengzheng smiles and doesn’t disrupt them . She moves her eyes to the two fathers, who both look serious . Because Fu Xing is watching beside them, the two old men appear generous and modest, especially her father . When he hesitates, Han Tengyue gives him some advice quietly, and he accepts it . They also study a certain move .
Fu Zhengzheng feels cheerful in her heart .
At this time, she hears some sounds upstairs . Looking back, she sees Han Siqi coming downstairs .
Seeing the scene, Han Siqi feels surprised too .
Fu Zhengzheng winks at him naughtily, looks at the time and asks, “The meeting only took one hour?”
“Yeah . There is nothing important . I left it to Zhongxu . ”

“Shall we go now?”
“Yes . ”
“I’ll tell my mom . ” Fu Zhengzheng walks to her mother and says quietly, “Mom, I’ll go out with Siqi to deal with something . ”
“Go ahead . ” Chen Yuying responds .
“We’ll come back as early as possible . If we come back late, the dinner…”
“I’ll cook it . ”
“Thank you, mom . ” Fu Zhengzheng turns her head sideways and smiles at Ji Yashu, “Mom, I’ll go out . ”
Ji Yashu nods too . Then Fu Zhengzheng takes her coat and goes out with Han Siqi .
In the car, Fu Zhengzheng begins to be worried, “Will they quarrel after we leave?”
“Aren’t they getting on well now?”
“You didn’t see they almost quarreled again because of playing chess at the beginning . I think your father’s temper becomes much better, but my father is still bad-tempered and stubborn . ”
“Your father isn’t so bad-tempered . He is stubborn towards my parents because he is afraid that they will take Xingxing away . ”
“You are right . If your parents won’t mention it again, I believe they can definitely get on well with each other . By the way, have you made an appointed with my brother?”
“Yes . ”
“Now that you’ll go to the south part of the city, I’m sure my brother will talk about the resort with you . I heard dad mention it to my brother that night . Now he calls you to go there so quickly . I guess dad has imposed pressure on him again . ”
Han Siqi reaches out one hand to stroke Fu Zhengzheng’s hand and smiles, “I just come to sound him out . If I feel it’s difficult for him, I will turn to other means . ”
“OK . My brother becomes a division commander at such a young age, and it’s the result of his striving step by step . He hasn’t depended on my dad’s influence . I don’t want to influence him because of our business . ”
“It won’t happen . ”
Fu Zhengzheng smiles at him and then turns her head sideways to look out of the window .
Suddenly, she shouts, “Siqi! Stop!”Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
