Chen Zigeng was drawing chess records for Mr. Dongli in the yard, while Mr. Dongli watched, stroking his beard.
Li You stood aside watching Mr. Dongli. In principle, Mr. Dongli should not be interested in these simple chess records that even a child could understand.
"Mr. Li," Chen Zigeng suddenly called out to Li You, "Do you also know how to play chess?"
Li You nodded, "Yes." However, he learned it quite late, only after he met Mr. Dongli.
Chen Zigeng said, "Is it true that many people in the capital know how to play chess?"
Li You replied, "Yes." In fact, it's not just the capital; the children from wealthy families all learn. It's surprising that Chen Zigeng knows these things given he's from a place like Chen Family Village.
Li You was moved, realizing that most places in Daqi are like Chen Family Village, with the majority of the populace living as villagers.
