The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

The grandfather, grandfather, and grandson were among the first to arrive; there were only two or three other people scattered around the stone chess table.

"Old Li, didn't you say you were going back to your hometown for a visit? Why did you change your mind at the last minute?"

Li Shengli waved and greeted his old acquaintance.

"Something came up and I had to go. I'll find another opportunity later."

Everyone knows it's just an excuse, but no one will press the matter.

They'll say what they can say directly, without needing to ask further questions.

Li Shengli walked towards Old Zhu, who was sitting there.

"Old Zhu, wanna play chess?"

Old Zhu shook his head; he didn't want to play against Li Shengli.

Lee Seungri snorted.

"I'm not following you, I brought my grandson out today to broaden his horizons. Are you afraid of a little kid?"

"However, don't underestimate my grandson; his master is Wei Ping."

Wei Ping?

Mr. Zhu felt that the name was familiar.

"Is it that national player who has emerged in the Go world in the last two years?"

Li Shengli tilted his head back, a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Yes, becoming a Go master is just around the corner."

Old Zhu looked up and sized up Li Zilong.

"Little one, how long have you been learning from your master?"

"Hello Grandpa Zhu, I've been studying with my master for a year now."

a year?

Have you gotten started?

Old Zhu instinctively wanted to refuse, but there was no one else to play chess with at the moment, so he decided to teach the child a lesson.

"Let's play one more game. If you lose, go home and practice hard, but don't cry, okay?"

Li Zilong calmly sat down opposite Elder Zhu.

"Victory is a cause for joy, and defeat is also something to be happy about." (Su Shi, "Watching Chess")

Wow!

To be able to utter two sentences like that is worth playing the next round.

Old Zhu made a gesture of surprise.

"Good boy, you may take the black pieces."

"Thank you, Grandpa, you flatter me."

The black pieces landed, and the two armies went to war.

Li Shengli silently sat down next to Li Zilong.

Li Tian then began fiddling with the camera.

Anyone can press the shutter button.

But being able to take perfect photos with the simplest camera relies entirely on skill.

Focusing, finding the shooting angle, using light...

It is both knowledge and experience.

You need to learn techniques from others, and you also need to shoot and practice more.

The problem is that you can't see the shooting effect when you take a picture now, unlike in the digital age when you can immediately adjust the angle if you find it's not good.

Li Tian hadn't formally studied photography with anyone before; she had only learned how to use a camera.

There are no ready-made masters available right now, so we can only film one roll first and see what happens.

If the developed photos are really bad, it's not too late to ask reporter Lu Yuan for advice.

You can also use failed works to learn in a targeted way.

Li Tian walked around.

Life is not lacking in beauty, but rather in eyes that can see it.

I took pictures of vibrant flowers, crawling snails, towering trees, and distant houses and paths...

Anyway, I kept all the beautiful things that caught my eye as souvenirs.

With only a few negatives left, Li Tian returned to the chessboard.

I promised to film Li Zilong, I can't go back on my word.

When she arrived, the outcome of the match was still undecided.

But Li Tian could see the fine beads of sweat on Grandpa Zhu's forehead, and she could also see Li Zilong's ease and composure.

It seems Li Zilong has won his first battle.

This is the perfect opportunity to take a candid photo.

Li Tian picked up the camera and started looking for the right angle, but didn't get too close, not wanting to distract Li Zilong.

A young boy calmly and deliberately places a black piece on a board.

One picture showed a young boy with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, clearly pleased with what he had in mind.

Another picture shows a young boy with a determined look in his eyes, exuding a murderous aura.

In the last card, the young boy placed a black piece, deciding the outcome.

Old Zhu wiped his sweat, sighed repeatedly in admiration, and stood up, rubbing his back.

"Talented people emerge in every generation; the youth are truly formidable!"

Li Shengli burst into laughter.

He had never beaten anyone like this in chess before, but since his grandson won, it could be rounded up to the nearest win for him.

"Old Li, your grandson is much better than you. You should learn from him."

Lee Seungri's smile remained unchanged.

Praising his grandson is also praising him.

"I'm still learning, and I know my own limitations. How about we play a game and you see if I've improved?"

Old Zhu waved his hand.

"I'm getting old, I need to take it easy after this game, I'll play with you another day."

Lee Seungri wasn't annoyed at all; an hour of intense mental work is quite tiring.

He understands.

After looking around, I found that most of the regulars here were there, so I could just pick one more.

"Isn't my grandson pretty good? Anyone want to give him a try?"

"Meeting new opponents can also broaden your chess strategy."

Lee Seungri is right, and it wasn't exactly a provocation.

Old Guo stepped forward and sat down opposite Li Zilong.

You can learn something by watching a game of chess, but you only truly understand it by playing a game yourself.

Before it started, Li Tian quickly fed Li Zilong a piece of chocolate.

Milk candy and chocolate are essential items in Li Tian's pockets.

It won't stave off hunger, but it can provide some energy.

Mr. Guo generously said, "Child, do you need to use the restroom? Let's get ready before we begin."

Before Li Zilong could answer, Li Shengli spoke first.

"Zilong, go ahead, and stretch your arms and legs while you're at it."

It's tiring for the elderly to sit for more than an hour, and it's tiring for children too.

Taking a few minutes to buffer is necessary.

Li Zilong nodded, stood up, and walked towards the restroom.

Those small steps carried the confidence of a victor.

They walked at a leisurely pace.

Li Tian did not follow.

Li Zilong just needs to relax now and doesn't need to shower him with praise.

When he returned, Li Tian handed him a water bottle and let him drink a couple of sips to moisten his throat.

Everything was ready, both sides took their seats, and the battle began.

Li Zilong, like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, focused on offense.

Guo Lao fought battles his whole life, both offensively and defensively.

However, neither side has an overwhelming advantage in the short term.

In terms of age and experience, Li Zilong's performance is truly remarkable.

As long as he can stay calm, winning this game is not impossible.

Playing chess hones not only chess skills but also mental fortitude.

If your mentality collapses, you've already lost; it's just a matter of sooner or later.

This time, Li Tian didn't fiddle with the camera.

Watching chess games can reveal a person's character and stimulate thinking.

Black and white pieces fall alternately, and the time spent thinking varies...

The sun was rising higher, but no one left; in fact, a few more people left.

Everyone watched the game in silence.

But after Li Zilong hesitated and placed a piece, Guo Lao seized the opportunity and launched a full-scale counterattack.

After a few moves, Li Zilong stood up and conceded defeat.

It's just that I'm not as skilled as others; there's nothing shameful about it.

Old Guo stood up and said, feigning ease, "Old Li, your grandson has a bright future ahead of him!"

Lee Seungri smiled reservedly, without the slightest exaggeration on his face.

He could not afford to be the slightest bit negligent when facing Mr. Guo.

The feud between the two daughters deepened the rift between the two families.

There is no possibility of reconciliation.

"Old Guo, you flatter me. The kid should be proud."

Old Guo stood up and left the stone table.

Before leaving, I glanced at the two children from the Li family.

Li Tian pretended not to notice and did not look back.

She's still too inexperienced.
