Everyone sat quietly in their seats and waited and waited, and finally the good news came.
Xiaoxin won! Xue's father said excitedly: "The next step is the championship and runner-up competition! Even if you lose, you are still 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!
smart!"
Xue's father's eyes were red and he whispered: "This is hereditary..." The Xue family's ancestors were all good at playing chess, but later on, everyone was running around for survival and life, and they had no time or thought to develop their chess skills.
The third uncle has always upheld the wishes of his ancestors and often plays 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 excited yet and take Xiaoxin back.
You have to go to school tomorrow, it can’t be too late.”
"oh oh!"
Dad Xue explained: "The finals will be next weekend, and we will come back then."
Xue Zhilan explained excitedly: "There will be a TV station coming to interview us! No matter whether we, Xiaoxin, are the champion or the runner-up, we will definitely be interviewed.
She is still the youngest contestant to reach the finals!"
Xiao Chong was filled with envy and said "Wow!"
There was a sound.
"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: "Xiao Xin is very talented at playing chess. Sometimes you really can't figure out her moves. She is very smart and thoughtful and can always catch her opponent off guard.
Her chess skills are also very stable, and children several years older than her cannot do this."
"Ha ha!"
Father Xue said happily: "Quick! Call her back! Let's come back next week to hold the Champions League!"
Everyone laughed.
...... Perhaps due to the influence of his third son, Cheng Tianyuan was not too entangled in 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 no big deal."
Xue Huan smiled and explained: "Uncle just didn't drink enough water and had some signs of heat stroke.
I asked my colleague to prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine, and I already made a bowl of it for my uncle to drink.
He has recovered 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 hot these days, and the old people are running in and out..." Cheng Tianyuan also tanned a lot, and whispered: "It's all my fault for not convincing Dad. He didn't have much energy in the morning. I
Let him stay at home, but he said he has to go and help..." "It's okay."
Xue Huan said: "It's just a slight heat stroke, it's not a big deal.
Uncle's other examination items are considered normal, so there is 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 on call on weekends!”
Xue Huan was very happy and said: "Then it's settled! After you have studied in school for more than a year and a half, I also plan to take you into my medical research project, starting from the basic level and slowly learning
Learning from it will definitely be of great benefit to your future postgraduate studies.”
"Listen to you!"
Cheng Huanran replied with a smile.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said: "Listen to your Uncle Huan, it's absolutely right.
Ah Huan, I’ll leave this bastard to you.
If you need to run any errands, let him do it."
"Ha ha!"
Xue Huan nodded.
Xue Ling rubbed her temples and asked, "Isn't Yangyang on vacation yet?"
"without."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I heard that he will go abroad to compete in September, and he is now stepping up training.
I only have 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.
"Whenever you are free in the evening, take your brother and sister to see Lao Er.
Before you go, remember to buy the snacks he likes to eat, and tell him to train well, not to be lazy, to do his best, and not to work too hard."
"OK!"
Cheng Huanran took the coins and said with a smile: "Xiaoxin probably won't be free.
Recently, she has to participate in recording programs during the day and practice chess at night, so she is as busy as a little spinning top."
Xue Ling shook her head: "Enough is enough. I won't accept any programs from now on. Let her concentrate on learning chess first.
Don't be a little famous, just make it so grand, her little tail will be raised to the sky.
It's true that your grandpa indulged her in everything, and he himself became tired and sick."
"I'm fine."
Father Xue on the hospital bed said weakly: "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 yet, do you?
Our Xiaoxin has become extremely popular recently and is extremely popular.
A lot of people follow her show, and many of our classmates have become 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 young artist and train her
She has become a little star!"
Xue Ling: "..." Xue Huan smiled and said: "Xiao Xin is even more photogenic, especially her seriousness in playing chess, which is particularly attractive.
Many colleagues in my office praised how good the little girl looks! I heard that Xiaoxin is my niece, and they kept asking me to go to Xiaoxin to get her 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.
"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 only thirteen years old, what does she want with all that unrealistic fame?
What's the use?"
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 doing advertisements."
Xue Ling asked funnyly: "Is our family short of money?
She is of learning age now and should study hard.
Chess is her hobby, and we as parents will support it.
But there is no need to sacrifice your study time and precious youth to strive for fame and money - our family does not need it!"
