Xue Yifu and Erfu also got off the brick bed and brought two high tables over.

They placed them beside the bed and moved the melon seeds, tea, and other things somewhere else.

Once the chessboard was brought over, everyone made space for it and crowded around it.

After Xue Yan taught them some basic information, Erfu and Xue Sifu somewhat understood it. Liu Guixia and the others did not quite understand it, so their interest slowly faded.

Jiang Yue, who was sitting on the same side as Xue Yan, saw that Liu Guixia and the others were a little sleepy when they heard it, so she said, “How about this? As long as the five stones can form a line, can it be considered as winning?”

Actually, what she suggested was a game called Gomoku.

Gomoku was easy to learn and suitable for both young and old ages.

It just so happened that no one played like this here.

“That’s it. Whether you place a horizontal line, a vertical line, or a diagonal line of five in a row…” Jiang Yue said as she placed the five same colored chess pieces in a row on the chessboard for everyone to see. ‘You will win.”

“That’s easy!” Liu Guixia immediately said.

The others were interested in how simple this game was. It was too simple; Xue Yan merely glanced at Jiang Yue wondering if this was a game from the future or if it was Jiang Yue who had the solution.

“Let’s all take turns trying this game,” Liu Guixia and the others were no longer sleepy after being able to participate in such a simple game.

Then, they started playing.

As they played, everyone started to add in their opinions with each move, making everyone participate in the game.

It was Xue Sifu and Xue Yan who were playing Gomoku with the chess pieces.

Xue Sifu picked up another black piece, but before he could put it down, Liu Guixia and the rest started munching on the melon seeds with relish while staring at the chess pieces on the board without blinking.

“Sifu, you need to put it there!””

“Shouldn’t you put it at the bottom?”

“Why don’t you put it here instead of there?” Even Li Hehua tilted her head in confusion.

“You’re all wrong, it should be here.” Erfu also pointed to a place on the chessboard.

Xue Yifu also pointed to a place with a silly smile. He even scratched his head in embarrassment. “Why do I feel like this is the place where the last five pieces are connected together?”

None of them knew how to watch the game silently.

However, what Jiang Yue wanted was for everyone to participate, so she naturally did not say anything about interrupting the game.

Xue Yan also wanted everyone to participate. Just now, he felt that it was inappropriate to teach chess. Now that everyone in his family could participate, his mood naturally lightened up. He silently listened as everyone imputed their own suggestions.

On the other hand, Xue Sifu was getting a headache from Liu Guixia and the rest as they tried to butt in. He didn’t know where to place his next piece. At the same time, he was also happy how everyone was able to participate in the game. He thought to himself, “This is how a household should be like, lively.” Everyone was in high spirits. After a while, no matter where he placed his piece, he would be questioned.

“Sifu!” Liu Guixia immediately shouted and pushed her son. She was so focused that she even got up from the bed. “You fool, you should have put it here! If Xue Yan puts it here, he’ll have four in a row. When it’s his turn, you won’t be able to block it no matter where you go. You lost! Are you that st*pid?”

After shouting, she saw that everyone was looking at her and immediately smiled. “Haha, I’m getting a little excited, aren’t l? Haha… You can continue… I’ll watch…

She quickly sat back down.

Erfu and the others were overjoyed by the reaction. This was the first time they had seen their mother so interested over something like this.

Xue Yan smiled.

The corners of Jiang Yue’s mouth curled up as well.

Xue Sifu laughed out loud. Just now, he almost thought that he was hopelessly st*pid. His mother was really… Haha… But this was really fun!

“Hey, Xue Yan, hurry up. It’s your turn.” Everyone started to urge him when he took too long. Each of them also felt that it was fun to see what might happen next..
