Everyone sat quietly in their seats and waited and waited, and finally the good news came.
Xiaoxin won!
Dad Xue said excitedly: "The next step is the championship and runner-up competition! Even if you lose, you will still be the runner-up!"
A tall and tall old man wearing a staff uniform came forward - Xue Zhilan smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Xiaoxin couldn't be more awesome! She won easily! Those last few steps made me want to applaud! It was so awesome!
So smart!”
Father Xue's eyes were red and he whispered: "This is hereditary..."
The ancestors of the Xue family were all good at playing chess, but later on, everyone was running around for survival and life, and had no time or thought to develop their chess skills. The third uncle has always carried out the last wishes of his ancestors and often played chess with his juniors.
It's a pity that each generation is not as good as the last, until Xiaoxin appears.
"Yes." Xue Zhilan smiled and said, "It's also a good teaching from you."
Xue Ling has never been interested in playing chess, but she understands the pain and joy in her old father's heart.
"Dad, don't get too excited now and take Xiaoxin back. She has to go to school tomorrow and it can't be too late."
"Oh!" Father Xue explained: "The finals will be next weekend, we will come back then."
Xue Zhilan explained excitedly: "There will be a TV station to interview us! No matter whether we are the champion or the runner-up, our Xiaoxin will definitely be interviewed. She is still the youngest contestant to enter the finals!"
Xiao Chong was so envious that he let out a long "Wow!"
"It's great to be on TV! Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy!"
Cheng Tianyuan was filled with joy and said with a smile: "I didn't expect... Xiaoxin could do it so well!"
Xue Zhilan explained: "Xiaoxin is very talented at playing chess. Sometimes you really can't figure out her moves. She is very smart and thoughtful, and she can always catch her opponent off guard. Her chess skills are also very stable, and she is a child who is several years older than her.
None of them can do this.”
"Haha!" Xue's father said happily: "Quick! Call her back! Let's come back next week to hold the Champions Cup!"
Everyone laughed.
…
Perhaps due to the influence of his third son, Cheng Tianyuan didn't worry too much about Xiaoxin's career as a professional chess player.
A week later, Xiaoxin performed normally and won the championship steadily. After the news column in the Imperial City reported it, the children's channel soon also came and even a columnist program team came, and she became famous for a while.
During the first month of Xiaoxin's summer vacation, she was almost contracted by various program groups.
Xue Ling was busy with the company's affairs and really had no time to care too much.
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue's father were busy accompanying Xiaoxin in and out.
The weather was hot and there were many things to do, and Father Xue soon fell ill.
Xue Ling received the call and rushed to the hospital.
"It's nothing serious." Xue Huan explained with a smile: "Uncle just didn't drink enough water and had some signs of heatstroke. I asked my colleagues to prescribe some Chinese medicine and I made a bowl for my uncle to drink. His energy has improved a lot.
After resting for a few hours, when the weather gets cooler in the evening, I will just send my uncle back."
Xue Ling shook his head helplessly: "It's hot and the weather is very hot right now, and the elderly are running in and out..."
Cheng Tianyuan also tanned a lot, and whispered: "It's all my fault for not persuading dad. He didn't have much energy in the morning. I asked him to stay at home, but he said he had to go and help..."
"It's okay." Xue Huan said, "It's just a slight heat stroke, not a big deal. My uncle's other examinations are normal, so there's no need to worry."
Cheng Huanran hurried over and explained: "I asked for leave. I will just stay here with grandpa in the afternoon."
Xue Huan smiled slightly and patted Cheng Huanran on the shoulder.
"Sister, brother-in-law, of course this young man is very good! He picked up on my work in a few seconds, and he learned so fast! Now I am starting to worry about what I will do when he returns to school.
"
Cheng Huanran studied with Xue Huan during the summer vacation, went to hospitals and pharmaceutical factories, and temporarily served as Xue Huan's assistant.
"Uncle Huan, don't be afraid! Don't I still have the weekend? As long as you don't dislike me, I will be here for you on the weekend!"
Xue Huan was very happy and said: "Then it's settled! After you study in school for more than a year and a half, I plan to bring you into my medical research project, starting with basic junior technicians and slowly learning
Learning from it will definitely be of great benefit to your future postgraduate studies.”
"It's up to you!" Cheng Huanran replied with a smile.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said: "Listen to your Uncle Huan, that's right. Ah Huan, I'll leave this bastard to you. If you need to run any errands, let him do it."
"Haha!" Xue Huan nodded.
Xue Ling rubbed her temples and asked, "Isn't Yangyang on vacation yet?"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I heard that he will go abroad to compete in September, and he is stepping up training now. He only has two or three days of rest this summer, and they are all separated."
Xue Ling looked at his eldest son, took out his wallet from his purse, and pulled out three one-hundred-dollar bills.
"When you are free in the evening, take your brother and sister to see the second child. Remember to buy his favorite snacks before going, and tell him to train well, not to be lazy, to do his best, and not to work too hard."
"Okay!" Cheng Huanran took the coins and said with a smile: "Xiaoxin probably doesn't have time. She has to participate in recording programs during the day and practice chess at night. She is as busy as a little top."
Xue Ling shook his head: "That's enough. No matter what program she takes in the future, let her concentrate on learning chess first. Don't be famous for a little bit, just make it so grand, her little tail will be raised to the sky. Your grandpa also
Really, she does everything, and she becomes tired and sick herself."
"I'm fine." Father Xue said weakly on the hospital bed: "I'm just a little dizzy..."
Xue Ling said: "Just have a good rest and don't worry too much."
Cheng Tianyuan seemed to remember something and whispered: "In the past few days, several entertainment companies have approached me through Uncle Zhilan, asking if they want to train Xiaoxin to debut."
ah?!
Xue Ling couldn't react and asked: "Debut?"
"Yes!" Cheng Huanran smiled excitedly: "Mom, you don't know, right? Our Xiaoxin has become extremely popular recently and is extremely popular. A lot of people follow her program, and many of our classmates have become
Where are her fans? The entertainment company thinks that the girl looks good, plays chess well, and sings well, so they plan to sign her as a little artist and cultivate her to become a little star!"
Xue Ling: "..."
Xue Huan smiled and said: "Xiaoxin looks even more beautiful on camera, especially her seriousness in playing chess, which makes her particularly attractive. Several colleagues in my office praised the girl for her good looks! I heard that Xiaoxin is my niece.
, and kept asking me to go to Xiaoxin for an autograph."
"Hahaha..." Xue's father said with joy on his face: "Our Xiaoxin is indeed very good-looking. She is more than good enough to be a star."
Xue Ling refused without even thinking about it.
"I won't be recording any more shows in the future. I'll first learn chess well, then read books well, and put off all other chores."
Cheng Huanran shrank his head and whispered: "Mom, if you have a good reputation, it would be nice to be a minor celebrity."
"It's very good." Xue Ling asked back: "But she is still only thirteen years old, what does she want with that unrealistic fame? What use can it be?"
Cheng Huanran whispered: "...it can make money and bring huge profits - that's for sure. Nowadays, those little celebrities can make a lot of money by endorsing products and advertising."
Xue Ling asked funnyly: "Is our family short of money? She is of study age now, so she should study hard. Chess is her hobby, and we parents will support it. But there is no need to sacrifice study time and precious money.
Spend your youth striving for fame and money—our family doesn’t need it!”
