Mocha hasn't let go of the traction rope yet, Gu Bai is afraid that it will destroy every plant and tree here when it gets excited. This is all the hard work of the old man.
Elder Chu saw this and asked, "Why don't you let Mocha go? I even prepared toys for him."
The housekeeper took out the toys that had been prepared in advance. Gu Bai looked at the toys that had piled up into a hill and was stunned for a moment. Mocha looked at those toys and tilted his head, then looked up at Gu Bai in confusion.
Gu Bai has set a rule at home: put away the last toy when you want to play with it. Generally speaking, there will be no third toy on the floor at home.
Now that there are so many of them, Mocha is a little bit flattered.
As expected, they were relatives from another generation. Elder Chu also asked Mocha if they were enough to play with, for fear that Mocha would not have enough fun playing in the old house.
Gu Bai released the traction rope of Mocha. Mocha did not rush to the toys immediately, but walked around and smelled to become familiar with this strange place.
A few minutes later, Mocha returned to Gu Bai again, just staring at the toys.
Mocha will be much better behaved outside than at home. For example, he will not play with unfamiliar toys casually like now. Although Elder Chu is an acquaintance whom he has met several times, this is the first time for him to come to this place.
Gu Bai lowered his head and said to Mocha, "Go and choose a toy you like."
Mocha, who was sitting, suddenly moved his ears, and then immediately ran towards the pile of toys. Obviously, it was not enough to choose one toy, so Mocha pulled the toy and picked it tangledly.
Elder Chu asked, "Why don't you give it all, prepare everything for it and let it take it home."
Gu Bai looked in the direction of Mocha and said, "If you give it so many, it will not know how to cherish it. It will think that toys are readily available. Choose one now and choose one when you get home. Grandpa, you put away the remaining toys and give them to it the next time it comes."
Mocha finally chose a favorite toy and walked towards Gu Bai proudly.
This look made Elder Chu laugh, "Okay, I'll have someone put it away later and give it back next time."
Mocha showed off to Gu Bai and then turned to show off to Chu Zeshen. Chu Zeshen cheered as always.
"Well, it looks good, let's go play."
Mocha chewed the toy and chose a comfortable place to lie down and play.
Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people came to visit Elder Chu, and half of the visitors were in the courtyard. Elder Chu called Ze Shen and took Gu Bai back to the back room to rest, and they would start worshiping at noon.
The back room is no different from the old house in the TV series, with a master's chair, a wooden table, and various porcelain vases.
There is no sofa in the old house, but there is a wooden floor with soft blankets on it, which looks very comfortable.
Gu Bai stared at the piece of wood, Chu Zeshen followed his eyes and laughed, "Go up and sit down, I don't know when I prepared these."
Gu Bai touched the blanket underneath when he sat on it. It was very soft. He asked, "Were there any blankets like these before?"
Chu Zeshen shook his head. "I have lived here for more than ten years, and these things have never appeared here. When I was a child, I thought this piece of wood was too hard to sit on. My grandpa told me, I don't like to sit on it."
Gu Bai asked with a smile, "You told grandpa, right?"
The day before, Elder Chu called and asked Gu Bai what he liked so that he could make preparations.
Chu Zeshen and Gu Bai have been living together for more than a year, and I know Gu Bai's daily life. He likes to eat sweets, doesn't like to move much, and prefers to stay on the soft sofa and play games.
A box of sweet pastries and a soft blanket on the wooden raft are all the care and love Elder Chu has for this junior Gu Bai.
The treatment when he returned to the Chu Family's old house was even better than when Gu Bai returned to the Gu Family. There was never anything he liked on the dining table. When he returned to the Gu Family, he couldn't just sit on the sofa and rest. He sat upright and listened to his father's lectures.
Gu Bai fell in love with everything in the Chu Family. This kind of life was what he yearned for.
Elder Chu also thoughtfully prepared a nest for Mocha under the fallen wood. Nothing from the Gu Family Mocha can appear in the living room, and can only play with toys in the room.
Mocha was tired from playing outside and lay down consciously in his little nest.
There is a chess set placed on the wooden collapse, which should be Elder Chu's favorite leisure activity.
Gu Bai said to Chu Zeshen with great interest, "Want to play chess?"
Chu Zeshen has started to divide the colors of chess. "Can you?"
Gu Bai said modestly, "I know a little bit."
Chu Zeshen really thought that he only knew a little bit, and when he was about to use a novice's move, he found that the opponent was using an expert's move to deal with him.
In the first game, Chu Zeshen was in trouble. He tapped the chess piece with his fingertips and looked at Gu Bai with a smile, "A little bit good?"
Gu Bai nodded. "Yes."
In the first game, the whole game was lost because Chu Zeshen underestimated the enemy.
Chu Zeshen laid out the second game of chess. "Are all literature students so good at chess?"
Gu Bai takes the first step. "Grandma is very good at chess?"
"Grandpa basically never wins when playing chess with her. If grandpa wins a game, it's because he and grandma are cheating."
Gu Bai raised his eyes and looked at Elder Chu who had just walked in, and couldn't help but give Chu Zeshen a look.
Chu Zeshen learned it in a second, and then went on to say, "But when I was a child, I often couldn't beat him, and he often guided me in playing chess."
Elder Chu hummed from behind Chu Zeshen: "What do you mean you couldn't defeat me when you were a kid? You can't defeat me now, okay."
Elder Chu is a famous chess player in the Chu Family, commonly known as a talent addict. When the old lady was still alive, she would let him off from time to time, which made him feel confident that he was very powerful, and he would catch little Chu Zeshen and play as much as he wanted.
Chu Zeshen learned from his grandma and his chess skills got better and better, but because his grandma told him to let his grandpa play chess as much as possible.
Little Chu Zeshen asked in confusion, "Why?"
Grandma touched his head and said, "Did the school teach you to respect the elderly and love the young? Grandpa is getting older, so let him."
This concession gave up the entire elementary school. After junior high school, Chu Zeshen seldom played chess with his grandfather.
