Chapter 1057: Learning first leads to learning later (Additional update! Please give me a monthly ticket!)

The next day, the news that Qin Hao was on TV spread throughout the cotton mill.

Whether Song Ying is in the workshop, in the cafeteria, or on the way to and from get off work, she always encounters colleagues who ask her about things with envy on their faces.

"I heard that your Haozi was on TV, and it was on Beijing TV. Oh wow, that's amazing. If my child could be half as good as him, I would be able to enjoy a happy life."

Whenever this happened, Song Ying would say, "Hey, it's just that I have a little talent in Go, not worth mentioning."

In fact, I was already very happy in my heart.

"Okay, stop laughing. You're getting crow's feet from laughing."

When getting off work, Huang Ling teased Song Ying.

Song Ying covered her face in embarrassment, but laughed even louder.

"You didn't see it. When Secretary Zhang and Section Chief Lu met me before, their noses weren't noses and their mouths weren't mouths. But today, they saw me smiling so brightly that I felt a little embarrassed."

Huang Ling took Song Ying's arm and laughed: "Does this count as being a mother's status due to her son?"

"This word is used aptly. It seems that marrying Teacher Zhuang has its advantages. Even an uneducated person can be influenced by him." Song Ying joked.

Huang Ling said with emotion: "At the beginning, I saw that he was educated and well-mannered. Otherwise, I would not have married him based on his family conditions. But the result is..."

Song Ying smacked her lips. "Ah, I thought Teacher Zhuang was pretty good at first, but when he pissed you off last year, I finally understood. You can't just look at the surface when judging a person. Others think you're married to a teacher, and your children are smart and obedient, and you seem to be living a good life. But in fact, only you know the pain in your heart."

Huang Ling held Song Ying's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. After so many years, she finally met someone who truly understood her.

Seeing Huang Ling's tearful eyes, Song Ying quickly comforted her: "Sister Ling, don't be sad. Your crying makes my nose sore."

"Don't cry, I won't cry anymore. I've almost run out of tears over the years. Now I just want to focus on bringing up my two children. Everything else doesn't matter to me." Huang Ling wiped her tears and returned to the courtyard while speaking.

After lighting the fire and boiling water, Huang Ling and Song Ying went to the Children's Palace to pick up the children. After school every day, Qin Hao still went to the Go class as usual, mainly to keep an eye on Lin Dongzhe and prevent him from running around.

The courtyard was still lively in the evening, with TV playing outside. Qin Hao watched Lin Dongzhe finish his homework before letting him go out to watch TV.

Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting were also doing their homework in the room. They were about to take a midterm test, so Zhuang Tunan was under a lot of pressure. Zhuang Chaoying would give him extra lessons after get off work every day. When it comes to his child's education, Zhuang Chaoying is a competent father.

Huang Ling was altering Zhuang Tunan's pants in the room. The 12-year-old child had already started to grow taller. Just as she finished altering one pair of pants, Song Ying walked in mysteriously.

"Sister Ling, are you free now?"

"I'm free, what's the matter?"

Song Ying took out two pieces of cloth from behind her back and said in a low voice, "I see Shanshan has already started to grow and develop, and Zhang A-mei doesn't care about her. I thought I had some scraps of cloth at home, so I wanted to ask you to help make two bras for Shanshan."

Huang Ling couldn't help but sigh when she heard this: "Time flies by so fast. Shanshan and Tunan are already 12 years old. Girls develop earlier than boys. No wonder Shanshan holds her chest when she walks."

"Okay, leave it to me. When it's done, give it to Shanshan quietly. Don't let Zhang A-mei see it. It will make her embarrassed."

"Alas, doing good things in secret, what kind of thing is this?"

"Then you still do it."

"Hehe, I am happy to do so. I just can't bear to see others harshly criticizing children. The children are innocent."

Huang Ling was silent. Perhaps this was the reason why Song Ying stood up when Qin Hao was abused.

"The snake melons in the yard can be eaten soon. The yield of this thing is really high, but it looks a bit scary. I have to drag Lin Wufeng with me to go to the toilet at night."

After finishing the serious business, Song Ying took Huang Ling aside to chat about family matters.

Huang Ling whispered to Song Ying, "The yield is high, but I don't know if it tastes good. If it tastes better, it would be perfect. You don't know how much Tunan eats now. I used all our meat coupons to buy pig fat, and it's still not enough. This little brat is really eating me out of my money."

"Then your family can take more of these snake gourds. We originally planted snake gourds to save money to buy a TV. Now Haozi has got a TV, so we don't have to save money." Song Ying said generously.

"Then I won't be polite to you."

"Hey, why are you being so polite to me? Just tell me if your family needs anything. Lin Wufeng and I only have one child, and Haozi can't spend all the twenty yuan subsidy he gets every month."

Huang Ling didn't say anything, but just held Song Ying's hand, her eyes full of gratitude. The luckiest thing in her life was to be assigned to the same courtyard with Song Ying.

"Speaking of the child, are you really not going to send him to the junior class at the chess academy?"

Song Ying shook her head. "Although Haozi is young, he has very positive ideas. Lin Wufeng and I respect his decision. Besides, universities are now fully restored. Lin Wufeng's biggest regret in his life is that he didn't finish four years of university. If Haozi can do it for him, that would be great."

"Haozi is so smart, he must be good at studying, but haven't you ever thought about letting Lin Dongzhe fulfill this wish for Lin Gong?"

"Lin Dongzhe? Him? I'd be happy if he could get into a technical secondary school, but I don't even dare to think about going to university."

It seemed that Song Ying's voice rose unconsciously. Lin Dongzhe in the courtyard heard Song Ying talking about him, so he shouted back, "Mom, are you calling me?"

"No, I'm chatting with your Aunt Huang Ling. Watch your TV."

"Oh."

Song Ying pointed at Lin Dongzhe, who was staring at the TV in the yard and wanted to get in: "With his condition, how can we expect him to get into college?"

Huang Ling covered her mouth and chuckled. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if Lin Dongzhe was admitted to university.

Soon, it was another weekend. On this day, someone was selling enamel products in the alley. They were all daily household items. However, even after the old man pushing the cart shouted for the whole morning, no one dared to buy. The main reason was that they were afraid of being regarded as speculators. Not only would they lose their money, but their products would also be confiscated. If things went wrong, they might even be criticized by the factory.

Huang Ling asked Zhuang Tunan to inquire about the price.

Song Ying was surprised and asked, "You don't want to buy it?"

At this time, Zhuang Tunan came back and brought an enamel pot to get boiled water.

After asking the price, Huang Ling immediately decided to buy an enamel basin.

"Look at the quality, it's only 1.8 yuan, and you don't even need a ticket, how great is that."

Song Ying knocked on it: "It's good, but why did you buy this?"

Huang Ling lowered her voice and said, "Xiaoting is almost eight years old now. She should pay attention to hygiene. This basin will be used by her alone from now on."

At this time, the whole family basically shared one basin. Those who were more particular had two basins, one for washing face and one for washing feet. Those who had no money could just make do with one basin.

Song Ying thought for a moment, then took out some money from her pocket and gave it to Lin Dongzhe: "Go buy one too."

"Why did you buy it too?" Huang Ling had just put the enamel basin away when she found that Song Ying was holding an identical one in her hand. She almost thought she was dazzled.

"You're right. The child is older now, and it's not appropriate for us to use it together. I'll buy one for Lin Dongzhe and Haozi as well."

As the end of the semester approached, Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting were trying their best to get good grades. However, Lin Dongzhe was leisurely and acted as if nothing had happened. For him, as long as he could pass the exam and give an explanation to his family when he returned, it would be enough. Anyway, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng did not have too high expectations of him.

Qin Hao pretended to be a good student listening attentively every day, but in fact he was already "wandering in the sky".

That day, after returning from the Children's Palace, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan were doing their homework when they heard the sound of a bicycle bell coming from the alley.

"Is Comrade Qin Hao home?"

The door of the courtyard was pushed open, and the man in the green shirt looked at the envelope in his hand: "The address is right here, isn't Comrade Qin Hao here?"

Song Ying was a little confused. There was a guy named Qin Hao in her family, but how did they define gay?

Lin Dongzhe was the one who reacted the fastest: "Brother Hao, your letter."

After Qin Hao came out, the postman repeatedly checked his identity information before handing him the envelope.

"This is an important document sent by the Chinese Chess Institute and needs to be treated with caution."

After the postman explained, he left, muttering as he walked: "It's said to be an important document, but the recipient turned out to be a teen-year-old kid. What the hell is going on?"

After the postman left, Qin Hao opened the envelope. It turned out to be a letter from Nie Weiping, and also an invitation letter from the Chinese Chess Institute.

The content of the letter was just one simple sentence: Looking forward to seeing you in the finals.

The invitation letter was a personal invitation from the Chinese Chess Institute to Qin Hao to participate in the competition.

The National Go Championship is somewhat similar to the National Games, with both individual and team events. Players generally represent local Go academies to participate in the competition, and the competition for places between regions is also very fierce. After all, in this kind of national competition, if you perform well, you will have the opportunity to join the national team.

Nie Weiping probably had no way of getting a spot for Qin Hao in the JS provincial team, so he had to use his connections at the Chinese Chess Institute to get Qin Hao a spot in the individual event.

However, this also means that Qin Hao has to pay for his own food, accommodation and transportation when participating in this Go tournament.

Moreover, the prize money for domestic Go competitions is relatively low. For example, the champion of the National Go Championship only receives 1978 yuan. Of course, in , yuan was already considered a relatively high prize.

However, compared with international competitions, this amount of money is really not enough.

For example, the prize money for the Fujitsu Cup held ten years later was 1500 million yen, equivalent to 13.5 US dollars, and the prize money for the Yingshi Cup was as high as 40 US dollars.

In comparison, the NBA's salary cap in 1988 was $616 million, and the US Open champion prize money was only $20.

The income of professional Go players in this era is actually very ideal. Of course, the prerequisite is that they need to have sufficient strength.

"Oh, Brother Hao is going to participate in the National Go Championship." Lin Dongzhe's shout startled all the neighbors nearby.

At first they thought Qin Hao was going to participate in some children's competition, but when they looked at the invitation letter, they found out it was for the adult group.

"Was this invitation sent to the wrong address?"

"Yeah, Haozi, a kid, went to participate in the adult competition, but he was eliminated in the first round, right?"

Song Ying's face was also full of worry. She was not afraid that Qin Hao would not get a good ranking in the competition, but she was afraid that it would undermine his self-confidence.

"Don't worry, Aunt Song. I will win the championship."

The neighbors didn't take it seriously. Wu Jianguo even teased Qin Hao: "Okay, if you win the championship, Uncle Wu will give you a set of thirty-six kicks for you to use when you get married."

"It's a deal!" Qin Hao smiled wickedly and stretched out his hand.

Wu Jianguo was delighted: "Good fellow, this is to high-five Uncle Wu and swear an oath, OK, if you can win the championship and bring honor to Suzhou, Uncle Wu will sell everything he has to get you these thirty-six legs."

Zhang A-mei, who was standing by, was anxious and complained in a low voice: "What are you talking about? What if he really wins the championship?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? How can a little kid like you beat so many national players?"

Zhang A-mei thought so too and let go of Wu Jianguo's arm.

The National Go Championship is scheduled to start in mid-July, which happens to be Qin Hao's summer vacation, so he doesn't have to waste time asking for leave.

By June, when summer arrived, the snake gourds in the yard had fully matured. Huang Ling happily picked a few and fried them. Not to mention that they tasted quite good, the whole family enjoyed them very much.

With the TV, Song Ying no longer had to save money on purpose. As a dual-income family, plus Qin Hao received a 20 yuan subsidy a month, they no longer had to eat snake melon twice a day like Huang Ling's family.

After eating it for a month, Huang Ling's family finally couldn't stand it anymore. Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting lost their appetite when they saw snake melon, and Zhuang Chaoying also found it difficult to swallow.

Huang Ling had no choice but to share the snake melons with her neighbors. However, within half a month, the neighbors also became sick from eating the melons, and no one took any of them even if they were left outside.

"Shall we dig up the snake melons and plant some grapes?"

Qin Hao's proposal was approved unanimously by Huang Ling's family, so he used his connections to get a few grape seedlings transplanted into the yard.

"Finally I don't have to be afraid of those snake gourds when I go out at night." Zhuang Xiaoting was very happy, her little face was filled with a happy smile. More importantly, she didn't have to eat snake gourds for every meal.

At the end of June, Qin Hao, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting had their final exams, while Zhuang Tunan had his midterm exam.

As expected, Zhuang Xiaoting's grades were among the best, Lin Dongzhe barely kept to the middle line, and Qin Hao was tied for first place in the grade. There was no way around it. There were too few knowledge points in the first grade of elementary school, and many students scored 100 points.

With the unanimous suggestion of the teachers, Song Ying also agreed to let Qin Hao skip a grade and go directly to the third grade next year. The whole family unanimously agreed with this decision, except Lin Dongzhe.

"Brother Hao, you are disloyal and left me alone."

"You can also learn all the knowledge points for the second grade in advance, and then you can skip a grade with me."

If someone else said this, Lin Dongzhe would definitely sneer, but he really didn't want to be separated from Qin Hao, so he really started to learn the second-grade knowledge points under Qin Hao's guidance.

Zhuang Xiaoting didn't want to be outdone by Lin Dongzhe, so she also started studying hard.

The happiest ones were Song Ying and Huang Ling.

"Sister Ling, I never dreamed that Lin Dongzhe would study so hard one day." Song Ying sighed, holding the table. Everything in front of her seemed a little unreal.

Huang Ling also had a smile on her face: "Well, with Tunan and Haozi taking the lead, Dongzhe and Xiaoting will definitely not be far behind in the future."

"Sister Ling, when you say that, I feel like I can even envision Lin Dongzhe getting into college in the future. When I go to bed tonight, put my pillow up a little higher, and don't wake me up."

"Haha~~~"
