Xue Yan had yet to go down when Liu Guixia could not help but excitedly point out, “Xue Yan, if you put it over there, you’ll get four in a row.”
The two boys’ eyes suddenly lit up.
Xue Sifu immediately frowned to express his dissatisfaction. “Mother, which side are you on? You were just telling me to place my piece somewhere else, why are you helping Xue Yan now?”
“It’s because you didn’t want to listen to me!” After saying that, Liu Guixia urged her youngest son with shining eyes, “Xue Yan, hurry up and put it there.
This…
“Okay okay!” Xue Yan held back his laughter and nodded, listening to his mother’s words, and obediently placed the chess piece where she pointed at.
Xue Sifu didn’t even need to continue — he had lost anyway.
Erfu quickly switched places with Xue Sifu and rubbed his hands. “Move. It’s my turn now.”
“Mother, you can come over here.” Xue Yan gave up his position.
“Alright.” It was rare for Liu Guixia to partic.i.p.ate in such things.
Xue Sifu and the others were amused that their mother was still this energetic at this time.
Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes. Today’s New Year’s Eve was much different from the last.
Jiang Yue smiled watching her family.
Just now, the way Xue Yan held onto the chess pieces and moved them was elegant and beautiful. Although Xue Sifu’s movements were a little clumsy, it was because it was his first time holding a chess piece, but he tried to mimic Xue Yan. However, it was different for Erfu and Liu Guixia to move the pieces around. Erfu and Liu Guixia also tried this gesture at the beginning, but they really felt awkward. The problem was that they were worried that the chess piece would break, so they did not use this gesture. They directly used their thumb and index finger to press the chess piece on the board.
“Why do I feel like the game got weird all of a sudden?” Xue Sifu laughed until he collapsed.
“Who cares, it’s fine as long as we don’t break anything.” As Liu Guixia spoke, she placed a particle on the chessboard with her thumb and index finger.
This time, even Erfu laughed.
However, when it was Erfu’s turn, he did the same. Then, everyone laughed even more from the gesture.
Li Hehua laughed until tears came out. She lowered her head and asked the two children softly, “Are you tired? Do you want to go to sleep soon?”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both shook their heads.
It indicated that they were not sleepy.
“If you’re sleepy, just say it. You don’t have to force yourself to stay up late.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both agreed.
As soon as she finished talking to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, Li Hehua called out, “Mother, weren’t you the one that told him to not do something like that? Why did you put it there?”
The corners of Jiang Yue’s mouth curled up again.
“Ahhh, I put it in the wrong place!” Liu Guixia also shouted. “This doesn’t count! This doesn’t count at all! As she spoke, she quickly picked up the chess piece that she had misplaced and placed it where she had originally planned to place it.
“Does that count as cheating?” Erfu had just sat down when he fell over laughing. His mother was being too shameless!
The others laughed along to their antics.
Unknowingly, the night had pa.s.sed and New Years was finally coming. Finally, Liu Guixia and the others began to yawn.
Everyone was ready to sleep.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also returned to their respective rooms and went to sleep.
During the New Year’s Eve, they ate to their heart’s content. Their stomachs were still full, so they didn’t need to eat anything before going to sleep.
Everyone slept until noon.
The people in the village basically woke up at this time as well.
Everyone woke up to eat the leftovers from last night for lunch.
Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year. This was when people would go and visit their relatives to pay their respects..
