After school started, there were only four months left until the high school entrance examination. In order to create a good learning environment for Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan, Song Ying even lowered her tone of voice a lot. She usually argued with others about things that would make her blush.
, and can solve it calmly.
The neighbors all thought she had changed her gender, and the friendliness of the masses skyrocketed. If it were at the end of the year, she would probably be the one to be awarded the title of advanced worker.
Huang Ling silently provided logistical supplies, always making various soups in different ways to supplement nutrition for the two of them.
Zhuang Tunan studies very hard. When others are playing, he always closes the door and studies silently. Qin Hao rarely reviews and never takes notes in class, but he always ranks first in grade in every exam.
Even Zhuang Chaoying had to retract his previous remarks.
"Genius really doesn't require hard work."
Lin Dongzhe also does not need to work hard. Although he is not as good as Qin Hao in terms of IQ, he is much better than Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting. The reason why his academic performance is not good is because his mind is not on studying at all.
Before each exam, Lin Dongzhe can achieve good results as long as he pays a little attention and reviews seriously for a period of time.
For this reason, Qin Hao specially customized a set of rules for Lin Dongzhe. There is no problem in playing. He can even play with Lin Dongzhe. The premise is that he needs to spend an hour every day to study. In this hour, Lin Dongzhe needs to give 100%
Be focused, and your play time will be deducted if your mind wanders.
Gradually, Lin Dongzhe got used to this method. It was only one hour a day. He still had a lot of time to play. Moreover, Zhuang Tunan was so focused on studying that he had no time to talk to him. Zhuang Xiaoting and Wu Shanshan were girls and couldn't play with him.
Go, as for Xiaojun, he is just a kid. If Qin Hao doesn't play with him, he will have to play alone.
The key is that Qin Hao can always come up with some particularly fun games that make Lin Dongzhe unable to stop.
For example, in a game called "Monopoly", you can buy land and build houses, and you can also charge a certain toll when the other party passes by, until the other party is completely bankrupt.
Lin Dongzhe has had a bright mind since he was a child. In addition to the pocket money given by his parents, he also collected some waste products by himself, such as toothpaste rinds, homework books, and even copied Zhuang Tunan's summer homework for other children. Making money not only made Lin Dongzhe rich
Reading Little People's Books also gave him a strong sense of self-identity.
The game "Monopoly" perfectly satisfied Lin Dongzhe's two major needs, because as long as he won once, Qin Hao would give him a dollar. Although Lin Dongzhe won only a handful of times, it made him want to stop even more.
At first, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng also tried to play "Monopoly" with Lin Dongzhe. As a result, the couple, without exception, went bankrupt in a short period of time. After many times, Lin Dongzhe stopped playing with them.
In Lin Dongzhe's words: It's boring to be too dishonest. I only compete against masters.
With Qin Hao in front of him, Lin Dongzhe's academic performance also increased steadily. He even surpassed Zhuang Xiaoting in the mid-term exam and ranked fifth in the grade. Song Ying once wondered if he had cheated, but then she thought about it.
Lin Dongzhe did better than Zhuang Xiaoting, who else could copy for him?
"So, Lin Dongzhe has a chance to go to No. 1 Middle School. Does being able to go to No. 1 Middle School mean that he can go to college?" Song Ying held the transcript in her hands and couldn't help but think about it in her mind.
Lin Wufeng was relatively stable and asked Zhuang Chaoying privately for his opinion.
Zhuang Chaoying's expression was a little strange. Forget about Qin Hao, someone who won the national championship under the age of ten was definitely not an ordinary person. But in his impression, Lin Dongzhe was an out-and-out poor student. A few years ago, he was lying on the ground and following
He was like a mud monkey, being chased by Song Ying and running around the yard.
Why did his academic performance suddenly improve and surpass Zhuang Xiaoting?
"It's too early to talk about college. After all, there are relatively few knowledge points in elementary school. With Haozi helping Lin Dongzhe to attack, he can still keep up. If he can still be among the best in high school, then we can look forward to it."
As a result, when Song Ying heard this, she immediately expressed her position. From now on, Zhuang Xiaoting would do a few exercises and Lin Dongzhe would do a few.
However, when it came to the final exam, Lin Dongzhe's grades plummeted, falling directly to below average, which instantly lowered Song Ying's expectations.
Zhuang Xiaoting performed normally and was ranked among the top ten in her grade. This also made Zhuang Chaoying secretly relieved. Qin Hao was enough, and adding Lin Dongzhe to the mix might undermine the self-confidence of the two children.
After the small exam is the high school entrance exam.
Qin Hao ranked first in his grade in terms of total score, and Zhuang Tunan also got top five grades in his grade. Both of them were promoted to the high school section of No. 1 Middle School.
On the day the results came out, Song Ying took Huang Ling to buy red silk and hung a slogan on the wall of the courtyard.
In Song Ying's words, she had endured her anger for more than four months and usually didn't even dare to speak loudly. Now she finally has good results, and if she can't show off, wouldn't she be suffocating herself to death?
During the summer vacation, Song Ying and Huang Ling's logistical tasks were greatly reduced, and they finally had free time.
There is a saying that goes well, both body and soul must always be on the road. When you have free time, the void in the spiritual world needs spiritual food to fill it.
Therefore, the magazines Qin Hao borrowed from the library became Song Ying and Huang Ling's pastime in their spare time at work.
At one point, Song Ying and Huang Ling were no longer interested in watching TV.
Compared with those long talks on TV, articles in magazines pay more attention to the expression of "personal emotions". This is a complete opening for Song Ying and Huang Ling, who have always been taught that "the collective is greater than the individual".
Open the door to a new world.
"These articles are so well written, with beautiful sentences and interesting stories." Song Ying only graduated from junior high school and couldn't say what was good about her. The deepest feeling these articles gave her was a resonance: It turns out that outside the collective
, I am still a human being, a human being of flesh and blood.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Huang Ling often sheds tears when reading. Educated youth literature, scar literature, and poetry are simply a dimensionality-reducing blow to those who have lived through the era of big-character posters.
During the summer vacation, Qin Hao only stayed at home for half a month, and then went to the Jiangsu Sports Bureau to report and prepare for the 1980 National Go Championship. Last time, Qin Hao received a special recommendation from the Chinese Chess Academy to represent an individual in the competition.
It is said that when the leaders of the Jiangsu Sports Bureau learned that Qin Hao was from Suzhou, they were so depressed that they called the leaders of the Suzhou Chess Academy and scolded him severely.
Therefore, this time, as soon as Qin Hao went on summer vacation, the Jiangsu Sports Bureau kept calling Qin Hao, fearing that he would represent an individual in the competition again.
The neighbors in Family Lane of the Cotton Mill were no longer surprised by Qin Hao's participation in the Go tournament. They were no longer as excited as before when they occasionally saw Qin Hao's news on TV.
Not surprisingly, Qin Hao once again won the national championship. This time the opponent he defeated was not Nie Weiping, but an equally young player, Liu Xiaoguang, who was only 20 years old.
Originally, the Chinese Chess Academy was planning to recruit Qin Hao to participate in the World Amateur Go Championship, but Qin Hao refused because he was "busy with studies."
In an amateur Go competition, the participants from other countries are either retired players or not professional players at all. Such a competition is really meaningless. The key is that the prize money is not high.
After the National Day, the news reported that a Chinese chess player lost the World Amateur Go Championship, causing an uproar.
"Aren't these people too stupid? This Imamura civilization is 76 years old. It's a shame that a group of professional chess players can't beat a 76-year-old man."
"You can't say that, after all, Japanese Go is really good."
"Huh, what a great game. What can an amateur competition say? If you have the ability, let their professional chess players compete with our top players."
"Ahem, Japan's six top-class chess players have never lost a single game."
"...That was before. Didn't a very powerful kid appear among us recently? What's his name..."
"Qin Hao!"
"That's right, it's this kid who has won two championships in a row, as well as the National Games championship. Let him go and win."
Qin Hao didn't know that he had gained another wave of popularity due to the World Amateur Go Competition, and he was still leisurely enjoying the high school life in the early 1980s.
Recently, the Education Bureau issued a document saying that on the premise of strictly prohibiting school drills, the boundaries between men and women will be broken and students of the opposite sex can get along normally...
In response to this, all the teaching staff of No. 1 Middle School had wry smiles on their faces after the meeting.
Under the huge pressure of the college entrance examination, the single-point cramming education and boring question-answer tactics make students physically and mentally exhausted. In addition, children of this age group are all in love. Originally, they were strictly guarded and there were still fish that slipped through the net. At this time, "
Wouldn't it add fuel to the fire if "open the floodgates and let out the water"?
However, they had to comply with the Education Bureau's documents, so the teachers could only choose a stupid method: to strengthen patrols. Any place on the campus of No. 1 Middle School where two people could hide must be patrolled in place.
Even the middle school attached to the Cotton Mill where Zhuang Chaoying worked was no exception. He often had to be on duty until very late.
Song Ying was initially worried about Qin Hao's "puppy love", but Lin Wufeng woke her up with one sentence.
"Haozi is at least three years younger than their classmates."
Only then did Song Ying realize that Qin Hao was three years younger than Zhuang Tunan. How could a twelve-year-old fall in love so early?
It has to be said that the teachers' strict defense has had a certain effect. The students of No. 1 Middle School had just ignited a small flame of desire for the opposite sex, but it was extinguished before they had a chance to fight for a few more times.
Therefore, many students choose to relieve stress by making pen pals. Both parties obtain each other's contact information through newspapers, magazines, etc. After exchanging several letters, if the conversation continues, they can develop into regular pen pals.
Of course, there are also those who are "careful". Qin Hao's deskmate maintains pen pal relationships with many people and writes several letters almost every week, but he just doesn't know whether the contents are similar.
At first, Qin Hao didn't plan to make any pen pals until he saw a familiar address in a magazine.
So, Qin Hao tried to send a letter to this address.
A week later, the postman rode his bicycle and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard: "There is a letter signed: Xiaoxiang Yeyu, is it here?"
"Xiaoxiang Yeyu? How could anyone be called by such a strange name?"
Lin Dongzhe blurted out the mocking words, and saw Qin Hao step forward to take the envelope and glance at him. The smile on Lin Dongzhe's face froze instantly.
Back in the back room, Qin Hao opened the envelope. The handwriting on the letter was very graceful and neat. It should have been written by a girl.
The girl’s pen name was: Muzi. She first praised Qin Hao’s beautiful handwriting, asked him how he practiced and how long he had practiced, and then talked about his opinions on poetry and magazines.
"Muzi, surnamed Li, lives here again, it should be the same person, right?" Qin Hao replied a letter to the other party, and then sent Lin Dongzhe to buy a stamp and send it out. Of course, legwork fees are indispensable.
In the next few weeks, Qin Hao would receive letters from each other every week. At first, the conversations were about art, but gradually the other party began to talk about life issues.
Judging from some information revealed by the other party, it should be "Li Jia".
Qin Hao's reply to the other party not only encouraged her but also gave her some suggestions. Over time, the frequency of correspondence between the two parties also increased from one message per week to three messages per week.
It was not until a period of time later that Li Jia suddenly lost contact. Just when Qin Hao was confused, he received another letter from the other party, and then he knew why Li Jia suddenly "lost contact" and she had no money to buy stamps.
According to Li Jia, her parents were educated youths from Shanghai who went to Heilongjiang. After getting married in Heilongjiang, they gave birth to Li Jia and her younger brother Li Wen. When Li Jia was learning to speak, she first learned Shanghai dialect; her family bought a radio and listened to it.
The most popular ones are Yue opera.
After the policy was loosened a few years ago, her parents sent her to her grandparents' house in Shanghai. However, in that small, cramped and unsoundproofed house of only 20 square meters, her grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt and cousin were already crowded.
As a child, she could only sleep in the kitchen at night.
Qin Hao did not use too many words to comfort him, but shared his experiences in the past few years, and then put ten eight-cent stamps in the letter paper.
Lin Dongzhe was stopped by Song Ying just as he was about to go out to send a letter. After so long, she also noticed Qin Hao's unusual behavior, but she did not get Qin Hao's permission, and she never opened Qin Hao's letter.
"Aunt Song, don't worry, Haozi just made a pen pal. High school is very stressful, and many people in our class have made pen pals."
Seeing that Zhuang Tunan had caught her, Song Ying was at a loss for a moment. Lin Dongzhe's words instantly relieved her embarrassment.
"Brother Tunan, why didn't you make a pen pal?"
Zhuang Tunan rolled his eyes. He didn't have time to make pen pals now. He studied hard and could only see Qin Hao's back. If he wastes time on these things, it would be like what Qin Hao said.
You can't even see his back.
A week later, Qin Hao received a reply from Li Jia again, and all the ten stamps he sent last time were returned intact.
Since then, the frequency of correspondence between the two parties has returned to once a week.
