Father Xue was very happy because his little granddaughter was so good at chess that she wiped out all the seniors of the "Imperial Capital Chess Association" and secretly gave grandpa a sigh of relief, giving him a new subject to brag about.
So, he couldn't wait for his daughter to come back, so he hurriedly called his daughter secretly while his son-in-law was going to work.
--dad?
Are you looking for me?
Something happened?
Xue's father hurriedly said: "Of course! It's very important. It's so important that I have to discuss it with you carefully."
--What's up?
About what?
Xue’s father smiled and asked, “Are you free tomorrow night?
Let me tell you—hurry up and free up your time tomorrow night, you must be free!”
--Why?
Anything important tomorrow night?
Dad Xue replied: "Xiaoxin is going to participate in the chess competition tomorrow night, have you forgotten?
This is a very crucial match!”
--oh?
Hasn't she already been there several times?
Why are you still competing?
Dad Xue explained: "That's because the previous few times were promotion competitions! Lingling, let me tell you some good news, Xiaoxin has already entered the finals! Tomorrow she only needs to defeat one player to enter the top three.
Regardless of whether she is the champion, third runner-up or runner-up, she can get a trophy anyway! I guess if she performs normally, she will most likely be the runner-up! You must watch her match tomorrow night and cheer her on! - Is that so?
I seem to have a very important event...that's all, I asked the vice president to go for me.
We will go out to eat tomorrow evening and then go to the competition with Xiaoxin.
You ask the children to finish their homework first after school, so as not to delay their studies.
Father Xue couldn't help but suggest: "I plan to ask Xiaoxin for leave tomorrow so that she can have a good rest at home to prepare for the finals tomorrow night and recharge herself."
--it's not good?
Didn't she take time off from previous games?
Most games are held at night, aren't they?
If my children like to engage in such hobbies and activities, I am very supportive.
But it would be bad if you delay studying and reading.
Father Xue frowned slightly and whispered: "You all value grades too much... Your children have been going to school since they were young. They go to school every day, from the age of five or six to the age of twenty-six or seven. It takes about twenty years! Is it just such a day difference?
?
Is it really bad?
It’s not a big deal if you don’t go to class for a day, right?”
——Dad, you can’t say that.
If you don't study hard every day, how can you achieve future results?
Only by paying attention to every day can your child's attitude be correct.
If we, as parents, just let our children take leave and not go to class casually, most of them will become neglected and slack off in studying.
Father Xue muttered dissatisfied: "This is too exaggerated! Xiaoxin only took one day off. This competition is nationwide, and many people took several days off to come to the Imperial Capital to watch the finals.
Those of us participating in the competition do not get the attention we deserve.
If Xiaoxin doesn't win the grand prize, she will definitely be very disappointed."
——This... haha! Chess is not something that can be improvised, and it is not a test, right?
You have to let her live her life as usual, live her life as she should, and don't worry too much about her grades.
"How can I not care?"
Father Xue hurriedly told his daughter what he had just said to his son-in-law, and analyzed it carefully: "In short, we must seize this opportunity well.
Let me tell you! The TV stations in the imperial capital have already broadcast it, and this program is welcomed by many people! There are so many chess fans from all over the country, and many of them are paying attention to me, Xiaoxin!"
——Dad, this still needs long-term consideration.
Turning your hobby into a career is not easy.
Our family already has a Yangyang, and I really don’t dare to add another Xiaoxin.
Furthermore, Yangyang can be recommended by the national team to go to college, but Xiaoxin may not.
Father Xue muttered: "How do you know it's impossible?
There will still be many opportunities in the future! Besides, what’s the benefit of going to college?
Not necessarily that good?
How many people in this society are living well without going to college?"
——Dad, are you old and confused?
Haha! When I was studying in the past, who was chanting in my ears all day long that "study is the most important thing, everything is inferior, only studying is good"?
Going to college may not necessarily be good, and not going to college may not be bad, but I hope the children will consider it carefully, after all, it is related to her life.
Dad, the child is still young and cannot make the decision himself. As parents, we must be responsible for this choice, so we have to be cautious.
Let's wait and see how her results are before deciding.
Father Xue seemed to remember something and whispered: "I know - you are afraid that your child will receive too much attention and cause unnecessary trouble, right?
Yangyang is a boy, and he is not afraid of suffering no matter where he goes.
But Xiaoxin is a girl after all, so we have to be more cautious."
——Yes, this is partly the reason.
Dad, do you still remember Shanyue’s daughter Xiaoyouyou?
Father Xue replied: "I remember, of course I remember.
She's that cute little girl who sings beautifully! Oh! Come to think of it, I haven't seen her in years.
Back then, her parents came to the Imperial Capital for a while and returned to the South Island for a while, so she lived in the Imperial Capital on and off for a while."
——Yes, her parents are not very reliable and change their minds all day long.
Seeing that my daughter had a chance to become a big star, I simply asked her to drop out of school.
Later, I signed a contract with a bad entertainment company and was delayed for more than two years.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl can't study well and can't be an artist. She's stuck in an awkward position in the middle and doesn't know what to do.
Later, Sangoe simply broke the bank and invested all his money in making movies. The condition was that Yu Koyama should be allowed to act in the movie and she should be promoted to become a big star.
"oh oh!"
Xue’s father asked curiously: “What happened next?
Have you become a big star?"
--without.
Chen Shuiyu called me the day before yesterday, crying and saying that the movie had been shot for a long time and was finally released this year. Unexpectedly, it failed miserably at the box office. It was so bad! The money was wasted, and the future of her daughter was also bleak.
Shanyou is now lying in the air, neither up nor down, and is in a very difficult situation.
I originally suggested that they invest money in their daughter's education and let her go to a professional acting academy. Once she has settled enough, she will naturally shine in the future.
But they couldn't wait any longer and thought it would be better for their daughter to make a living as a young girl and become popular first.
Maybe one fire is enough for them to spend a lifetime.
Now Shanyou is unknown and cannot find recognition in the industry. He is young, confused and at a loss, which is very pitiful.
Father Xue couldn't help but ask: "Then their business...is it okay?
Is there no problem in life?"
——There is still some aquatic business, and there is no difficulty in life, but the level of prosperity is naturally not as good as before.
Chen Shuiyu said that Shanyou's energy was very poor. She slept at home every day, didn't like to go out, and didn't eat much and couldn't sleep well, which made her very worried.
I suggested that they come to the Imperial City for a walk and a change of environment, which might be helpful to their children.
