After the small exam was the college entrance examination. Li Yiming and his cousin, who had come to Zhuang Chaoying for tutoring before, also took the college entrance examination. Compared with the college entrance examination last winter, there were more people taking part this time and it was relatively more formal.
Zhuang Chaoying, as the last college entrance examination marking teacher, was once again invited to conduct centralized marking. Huang Ling and her two children were the only ones left at home.
Just a few days after Zhuang Chaoying left, Qin Hao also went to Shanghai to participate in the National Go Championship. Song Ying and Lin Wufeng both had jobs and could not go, which made Song Ying feel very guilty. When bidding farewell, she burst into tears as soon as Qin Hao turned around.
of.
At first, Lin Dongzhe couldn't eat well or sleep well, but after a few days, Lin Dongzhe came back to life. For Lin Dongzhe, summer vacation means that he has two months without going to school, and without Qin Hao staring at him,
He can cause havoc in heaven again.
The result was that just two days after Qin Hao left, Song Ying couldn't bear it anymore.
"Oh, I missed Haozi just now. When will he come back? Lin Dongzhe is already lawless."
Lin Wufeng was worried: "I don't know how he is doing alone in Shanghai. How about we go to Shanghai on Sunday?"
"This is a good idea. It's decided. I'll go to Shanghai on Sunday."
Although Shanghai is not far from Suzhou, it is still a long trip in this era. At first, Song Ying planned to entrust Lin Dongzhe to Huang Ling to take care of him. However, when Lin Dongzhe heard that his parents were going to Shanghai to see Qin Hao, he left him alone.
I was immediately unhappy when I left it behind.
"Song Ying, you are unloyal and leave me alone. No, if you don't take me, I will pick up the train by myself."
When he sent Qin Hao off last time, Lin Dongzhe found that the train was not very fast when it just started. He thought that he should be able to get on it with his nimbleness.
Song Ying was so angry that she wanted to fix Lin Dongzhe, but Huang Ling quickly stopped her and whispered.
"I think you'd better bring Lin Dongzhe with you, otherwise he might really pick up the train."
Song Ying thought about it. With Lin Dongzhe's fearless temperament, maybe as soon as they left, Lin Dongzhe would disappear, and Huang Ling wouldn't be able to lock him up.
"That's okay, but I've agreed in advance that you have to listen to me when you go to Shanghai and you are not allowed to leave my sight, otherwise I won't take you out in the future."
Lin Dongzhe agreed wholeheartedly and jumped up and down in the courtyard.
"Oh, I'm going to Shanghai. I want to watch Brother Hao play chess."
Song Ying thought for a while: "Sister Ling, do you have anything you want to buy? I will go to Shanghai to bring it back for you."
"I want to buy a lot, but I don't have much money at home." Huang Ling said with a wry smile. She had nothing to show off in front of Song Ying.
When Song Ying heard this, her face was full of disbelief: "Sister Ling, Teacher Zhuang's monthly salary must be fifty or sixty yuan, right? Even if you both work and raise two children, you shouldn't have no savings at all, right?"
"Every month after Chaoying's salary is paid, he will hand over one-third to his parents, and we both spend the money separately."
Song Ying didn't know what to say for a moment, so she held Huang Ling's arm for a long while and said quietly: "Sister Ling has really suffered for you these years."
Huang Ling wiped away her tears and forced out an ugly smile: "It's okay. I've gotten used to it over the years. Fortunately, Tunan and Xiaoting are both on par with each other. As long as they are good, I'll be fine."
…
The days of waiting are always difficult. Lin Dongzhe spent the most difficult three days in his life. Finally, on Sunday, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng both had a holiday. Early in the morning, they went straight to the train station.
"So this is what's like inside the train." Lin Dongzhe's eyes kept rolling as soon as he got on the train. Last time he could only take a look outside, but this time he finally got his wish and was able to come in.
Song Ying didn't dare to take her eyes off Lin Dongzhe for a moment. This monkey was a typical loser. Fortunately, the neighbors could help keep an eye on him in the alley. There were so many people coming and going on the train that they might disappear in the blink of an eye.
Lin Wufeng and Song Ying sat outside, leaving Lin Dongzhe alone by the window, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, Lin Dongzhe was very excited. Sometimes he danced while looking at the receding scenery outside the window, and sometimes he started chatting with the passengers next to him.
"I'm not going to Shanghai to play, I'm going to see my brother."
A young couple sitting next to him saw that he was very playful and happy to talk to him.
"Oh, what is your brother doing in Shanghai? Going to school?"
Lin Dongzhe crossed his arms, raised his chin, and said with a proud face: "My brother is going to Shanghai to participate in the competition."
"Oh? What kind of competition is it?"
"Go game."
The young couple sitting next to each other looked at each other: "The Go competition held in Shanghai now is the National Go Championship, right?"
"Yes, that's it." Lin Dongzhe was even more proud.
The young couple sitting next to them couldn't help but admire Song Ying and Lin Wufeng and said: "How old is your eldest son? If he can participate in the national Go championship, he may become a national player in the future."
Before Song Ying could speak, Lin Dongzhe couldn't wait to say: "Brother Hao will be ten years old soon."
"Ten years old?" The faces of the young couple sitting next to them froze. They thought that Song Ying and Lin Wufeng got married early, and that they were already very talented to participate in the National Go Championship in their twenties. But when they heard that they were only ten years old, they automatically
Lin Dongzhe's words can be classified as "childish talk".
Unexpectedly, Lin Dongzhe was very sensitive and saw that the two of them did not believe in him, so he pulled Song Ying to prove it to him.
"Mom, tell them, is Brother Hao participating in the Go tournament in Shanghai?"
However, even if Song Ying nodded, the young couple sitting next to her just thought that Song Ying was taking care of her child's face, or that she had something unspeakable that she couldn't tell her child, so they looked for an opportunity to change the subject.
During the chat, Song Ying learned that the young couple sitting next to her had just gotten married and were going to Shanghai to visit relatives.
When they arrived at the train station, the two parties parted ways. Song Ying and Lin Wufeng held Lin Dongzhe's hands tightly, fearing that he would get lost.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! We took the bus all the way to the Shanghai Chess Academy, where the National Go Championship was held. However, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng were neither players nor reporters.
, the guard refused to let in.
Lin Dongzhe pointed at the guard and cried loudly: "You are a bad person. We came all the way from Suzhou to watch my brother play. You bully us because we are outsiders and don't let us in."
Immediately, everyone who was coming in and out looked over, and the guard was sweating. There were many reporters from newspapers coming and going. If any reporter with a strong sense of justice published this matter in the newspaper, he would be scolded by the leader.
"Children, don't talk nonsense. I didn't bully you."
However, Lin Dongzhe took advantage of the victory and pursued it: "It's you who bullied me and didn't let me see my brother."
The guard was completely panicked: "What's your brother's name? I'll check it for you."
"His name is Qin Hao, and he came from Suzhou to participate in the National Go Championship!"
Lin Dongzhe shouted at the top of his lungs. The guard still had no reaction, but there was a burst of exclamation from the onlookers.
"Qin Hao? Is he the kid who lost two national players in a row?"
"It turns out they are Qin Hao's family. Your children are awesome and amazing."
Everyone was talking about Song Ying and Lin Wufeng. They lost to two national players in a row?
The Chinese language is broad and profound. Is this losing streak what they think it is?
When Lin Dongzhe heard that people around him were praising Qin Hao, he stopped pretending to cry and said proudly: "My brother is amazing. He just won the National Children's Go Competition Championship."
In Lin Dongzhe's view, champions are powerful, but they don't know that the Children's Go Competition and the National Go Championship are not competitions of the same magnitude.
However, the onlookers got more information about Qin Hao from his mouth, especially several reporters, who had already begun to take notes.
Song Ying learned from reporters that when Qin Hao first participated in the National Go Championship, almost everyone believed that he was here to accompany him and would be eliminated in one round.
But as he passed two rounds of preliminaries and entered the main competition, he gradually attracted some attention.
However, what really made Qin Hao famous was that he met a national player from the Chinese Chess Academy in the first round of the main competition. Everyone thought that he was unlucky and was about to be eliminated, but the result was shocking. Qin Hao was
A clean 2:0 victory directly eliminated the national players.
This moment shocked all the contestants, organizers, and reporters.
There has never been a shortage of talented young people in the Go world. Those who can become national players are all the best among their peers. However, throughout the entire history of modern Go, there has never been a genius who can defeat a national player at the age of ten. Not even Nie Weiping can do it.
.
As a result, this was not over yet. In the second round of the main competition, Qin Hao met another national player, and it was also the prestigious national Go player Cao Zhilin. You must know that this old man just won the runner-up in the National Go Championship last year.
At the beginning of the game, everyone thought that Qin Hao, the dark horse, was about to be ended by Cao Zhilin. However, after only 158 moves in the first set, Cao Zhilin gave up and gave up.
At this time, everyone just felt that Cao Zhilin underestimated the opponent. As a result, Qin Hao's attack was even more rapid in the second set. After only 153 moves, Cao Zhilin was already sweating profusely and fell into a five-minute long test. Then he reluctantly played 167 moves and finally gave up.
Zi admits defeat.
There was chaos at the scene, and the game was almost interrupted. However, Qin Hao also used the victory in these two games to completely establish his reputation as a dark horse.
A reporter handed a newspaper to Song Ying: "Do you think this is your child?"
Song Ying took it and took a look. It was a local Shanghai newspaper. In the center was a photo of Qin Hao playing chess. The title was: National Go Championship. The mysterious boy lost two national players in a row. The future is promising.
, the gap between China and Japan in Go is expected to narrow.
"Haozi is in the newspaper again?" Song Ying always felt that the Qin Hao she saw in the newspaper was a bit unreal.
Lin Wufeng patted Song Ying's hand and said with a smile: "He has been on TV, so it's not surprising that he was in newspapers."
Song Ying thought so too.
Lin Dongzhe became impatient and pointed at the guard: "Will you let us in?"
The guard smiled bitterly: "You are really the family members of the contestants, so please register."
"Humph, I already told you that Qin Hao is my brother."
Song Ying's family of three entered the chess academy. Since it was still game time, the staff arranged for them to sit in the auditorium.
"Mr. Qin, please just watch the game here for a while. Player Qin Hao will be on stage soon." When the staff heard Lin Dongzhe calling Qin Hao brother, they subconsciously thought that Lin Wufeng's surname was Qin.
Lin Wufeng felt that it was quite troublesome to explain, so he did not correct him.
Sitting in the audience were either coaches or players' families, and the style of Song Ying's family of three seemed a bit out of tune with them.
"Comrade, which player are you a family member of?" a middle-aged man sitting next to him asked in Shanghai dialect.
Before Song Ying and Lin Wufeng could speak, Lin Dongzhe said first: "Qin Hao is my brother!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression suddenly became a little strange.
When the people around heard that they were Qin Hao's family members, they immediately started talking.
"You are Qin Hao's parents. How did you raise your child?"
"It's amazing. I've lost two national players in a row. When will I join the national team?"
"Who is your child's teacher? He has taught such great students. Let's go back and visit him as a provincial team to learn from him."
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng didn't know how to answer for a while. What kind of teacher? Not only had they never seen Qin Hao's teacher, they hadn't even seen Qin Hao touch a Go board. But no one believed what they said. They thought they were...
shirk.
"Comrade, what you are doing is wrong. If you don't applaud a person, our country is still far behind Japan in Go. You are delaying the development of Go in our country by hiding it like this."
"Yes, comrades, Go requires not only talent, but also a lot of experience. Your children also need strong opponents to make progress together, right?"
Just when Song Ying and Lin Wufeng didn't know how to fight, Qin Hao and another player entered the stage, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.
Although Qin Hao's opponent this time is not a national player, he has lost two national players in a row before and has become the biggest dark horse in this competition. Everyone wants to see whether he is just lucky or whether he wants to be the winner.
Song Ying looked at Qin Hao, who was sitting in the competition seat with a meticulous expression, her eyes filled with pride.
"Our Haozi looks good in this outfit."
The small jacket Qin Hao was wearing was made by Song Ying, who took out the cloth stamps that she had saved for a long time and asked Huang Ling to help. She only came out the day before leaving. In addition, Song Ying also gave her 50 kilograms of national food stamps saved at home.
Qin Hao said that his family was poor but he was rich, and he was afraid that Qin Hao would starve in Shanghai.
Lin Wufeng clapped her hand and said softly: "The game has begun."
In fact, Song Ying couldn't understand Go at all, so she could only listen to the whispers of the coaches and family members next to her while watching the game.
Whenever someone said that Qin Hao had made a bad move, Song Ying wanted to stand up and remind Qin Hao. When someone said that Qin Hao had made a wonderful move, she was so excited that she clapped her hands.
Fortunately, this opponent was not too strong, and Qin Hao scored another clean 2:0, successfully advancing to the knockout round.
It wasn't until the referee announced that Qin Hao had won that Song Ying let out a sigh of relief, while Lin Dongzhe jumped up excitedly and waved to Qin Hao.
At this time, Qin Hao also saw Song Ying and the others and trotted over quickly.
"Aunt Song, Uncle Lin, why are you here?"
"There is still me." Lin Dongzhe loudly declared his existence.
