After dinner, Gao Hongjun called Lin Dong to the study room and started a chess game, "Boy, play a game with me."
Lin Dong said: "Dad, my chess skills are not very good. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand a few attacks from you. When my old man comes, you will have an opponent. He knows this very well."
Gao Hongjun nodded, "Given the time, your dad will be here soon, right?"
Lin Dong said: "My friend will send him over tomorrow."
While talking, the two of them had already made a few moves. Gao Hongjun can think of the next ten moves after one move, while Lin Dong is not very good at chess and can only think about the next five moves after one move. Lin Dong knew that her chess skills were not as good as Gao Hongjun's, so she only wanted to protect herself and had no intention of defeating Gao Hongjun. Therefore, she took a defensive stance at the beginning of the chess game, assembled a large number of troops, and blocked the door of her house tightly in an attempt to restrict Gao Hongjun. Red Army attack. Contrary to expectations, his "veteran" was suffocated to death in the Nine Palaces just because of his own conservatism.
"This is not how you play chess." After the game, Gao Hongjun educated Lin Dong in a timely manner, "If the disparity in strength is too great and you just defend blindly, your strength will be gradually eroded by the stronger side, and then the remaining If you are alone, you have no chance of winning, so it is better to make a desperate move while you still have the ability to fight, maybe you can win in a dangerous way."
"One more game."
Lin Dong suffered a terrible loss in the previous game. He took the offensive decisively at the beginning of this game. Gao Hongjun, on the other hand, restrained his edge and set up a formation in front of his own door. He eliminated all the chess pieces that Lin Dong came in without moving his expression. . Lin Dong lost even more miserably this time. Only two soldiers were left to protect the veteran after being killed by Gao Hongjun.
"We lost again. We can't defend or attack." Lin Dong said dejectedly.
Gao Hongjun chuckled, "There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. If you attack blindly, the other side will just sit behind closed doors and sit at home. If all the forces that come to you are strangled, you will be defeated without any soldiers by then." "
Lin Dong looked at Gao Hongjun blankly, thinking that you just said that you shouldn't blindly defend, and now you are criticizing the offense. I really don't know what to do.
Gao Hongjun saw Lin Dong's thoughts and smiled: "People say that playing chess is like being a human being. In fact, life is very different from a chess game. If you lose a game of chess, you lose, but as a human being, you can fail once. You can also fail ten times and a hundred times, and you have many opportunities to start over. Maybe as long as you seize one opportunity, that may be the beginning of your success."
General Lin Dong savored Gao Hongjun's words in his heart. Suddenly something dawned on me. He nodded, understanding that Gao Hongjun was telling him that he should be perseverant and that failure is not terrible. The scary thing is to give up on yourself, learn to be patient, and wait for the opportunity. There will always be a time when you can turn defeat into victory.
"It's getting late. Go back and rest until your dad arrives. I have to have a good discussion with him." Gao Hongjun said with a smile.
Lin Dong stood up to say goodbye and returned to the room. Gao Qian is trying on newly bought clothes for Mrs. Lin.
"Husband, come here and see if we look good in this?"
Seeing Lin Dong come in, Gao Qian called Lin Dong over.
Mother Lin is wearing a purple Tang suit, which looks festive. It looks noble and generous, which adds to her temperament.
"My mother seems to have become much younger." Lin Dong exclaimed.
Gao Qian smiled and said: "That's right, I took our mother to have her hair done today. Look how fashionable she is now."
As soon as Lin Dong entered the door, he noticed his mother's hair, which was permed into curls and dyed burgundy.
Mother Lin sighed: "Qianqian, you are trying to make a fool of me. When I return to the village, I don't know how many people are going to point fingers behind my back!"
Gao Qian smiled and said: "Mom, you are wrong. I promise, not only will the villagers not point fingers behind your back, but they will all envy you. Maybe you can lead a trend, and then the village will Everyone follows your example and styles their hair like this.¡±
Lin Dong smiled and said: "I'm afraid that the barber shops in our town don't have the ability to make them so beautiful."
"No matter what, I will do whatever my daughter-in-law says looks good." Even though Mother Lin said that, she was actually very happy in her heart.
"Mom, my dad will arrive tomorrow."
On the way back to Suzhou in the afternoon, Qiu Weijia called Lin Dong and said that he had borrowed the car and would come over tomorrow.
Mother Lin said: "You are getting married in five days. How long will you wait if he doesn't come over? This old man's family has been busy for a long time, but he just can't come. When he comes, I will have to interrogate him." "
¡¡
At three o'clock in the morning, Lin Dong's cell phone suddenly rang, waking him up from his sleep.
Opening his eyes and looking at the number, he saw that it was Cheng Siwei calling. Lin Dong was so excited that he immediatelyHe sat up from the bed.
"Hello¡¡"
Cheng Siwei's voice was very panicked, "Mr. Lin, Zu Xiangting may have found out that I'm looking for dirty information about him, and I can't stay with him any longer. I've brought all the materials I've collected with me. Let's meet." Let¡¯s have some noodles.¡±
"Where are you?" Lin Dong asked in a deep voice.
Cheng Siwei said: "I'm on the highway, almost to Xizhou City."
"I'm not there, you drive to Sioux City. I will wait for you when you get off the highway."
Gao Qian was also awakened by the ringtone just now. When Lin Dong hung up the phone, she asked: "Husband, what happened?"
Lin Dong said while putting on his clothes: "It's nothing, it's a good thing. You can go to sleep, I have to go out."
"Be careful on the road." Gao Qian warned.
Lin Dong drove to the yard and left Gao's house. He called Li Longsan on the way. The phone rang for a long time before he got through.
"Lin Dong, what's wrong so late?" Li Longsan said in a daze.
Lin Dong said: "Third brother, excuse me, something unexpected happened. Please prepare a safe place for me. I want to send someone there."
Hearing Lin Dong's cold voice, Li Longsan immediately woke up and said without asking any more questions, "Okay, I'll do it now. I'll contact you when I'm done."
Lin Dong drove straight to the highway intersection. He arrived before Cheng Siwei and waited in the car for an hour before Cheng Siwei appeared in his sight driving a Santana.
Lin Dong didn't get out of the car and called Cheng Siwei, "Mr. Cheng, have you seen my car? Follow me and don't get out of the car."
Lin Dong flashed his headlights twice, and Cheng Siwei said "hmm" on the phone.
Lin Dong drove in front, and Cheng Siwei always kept a distance of more than 100 meters from him.
At dawn, Li Longsan called, "Lin Dong, I have arranged the place. You can bring the people to the steel factory in the north of the city. I will wait for you at the door."
Lin Dong dialed Cheng Siwei's phone number again, "Mr. Cheng, I'm taking you to a safe place now. I'm going to speed up. You should follow closely."
"Um."
Cheng Siwei was so nervous that he forgot the other words.
