Chapter 1112 Five Joys
"Dad, no need. I have enough living expenses. You can take it back to grandpa and grandma."
Zhuang Chaoying's outstretched hand froze in mid-air: "Tunan, this is a little gift from dad. Dad will send you half of his salary every month in the future..."
"Dad, I can earn money as a tutor now. If you really want to, give the money to Xiaoting." Zhuang Tunan still had no intention of taking it. Before, the family did not have enough money, and his mother often asked his father to go to grandpa and grandma to get the money back, but what they received was endless quarrels. He couldn't believe that his father asked grandpa and grandma to get back half of his salary for him. What's more, they quarreled like that before the Chinese New Year.
"Tunan, I..."
"Brother Tunan, come quickly, the Legend of the Condor Heroes has come to an end."
Zhuang Tunan hesitated for a moment, but still said slowly: "Dad, you should keep this money for yourself, save some money, and buy a house in the future. Living in the school dormitory all the time is not a solution."
When Zhuang Tunan entered the house, Zhuang Chaoying came back to his senses. His hand holding the envelope kept shaking, and he choked up on the spot.
Zhuang Xiaoting was about to go out when she saw this scene, but was stopped by Huang Ling: "Your father cares about face the most. You will only make him feel more embarrassed if you go to comfort him."
"But, Mom, is face really that important?" Zhuang Xiaoting asked puzzledly.
Huang Ling glanced at Zhuang Chaoying, who was sobbing silently in the yard, and said quietly: "For some people, face is worthless, but for your father, face is more important than anything else. He lives his life on the praise of others. He is happier to be praised than to receive a year's salary."
...
Early the next morning, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan rushed to the train station and set off on their journey in the reluctant eyes of Song Ying and others.
After the start of school, it was the senior year. The courses in the first half of the year were quite heavy. The teachers seemed to have discussed it and left many important courses in this half semester, so that the students wailed, and every night in the study room, the bitter faces of the architecture department could be seen.
In the words of Professor Sun, "Students, don't complain about the hardship or tiredness. Our architecture major is different from other majors. Other majors will only lose some bonuses if they make mistakes, but if we make mistakes, it means the building collapses. Think about the lives that are under your pen, and you won't feel hard or tired."
During the past six months, Zhuang Tunan had to work as a tutor to earn money to supplement his living expenses and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. He squeezed every minute to the extreme, which also led to him developing a habit of paying special attention to time. Sometimes he would go to class and leave immediately after teaching a class, which made some parents very dissatisfied. Fortunately, Zhuang Tunan's tutoring effect is not bad. Most of the children who have been tutored by him have significantly improved their grades.
Li Jia was busy striving for a place in the Planning Bureau, running for the vice president of the Student Union, and building a good relationship with the Dean of Teaching. Finally, at the end of the semester, he finalized the place for internship in the Planning Bureau. After reporting for school next year, he can go directly to the Planning Bureau for internship.
After sharing the good news with Qin Hao, Li Jia did not forget to ask: "What about you? Didn't you say you wanted to join the Planning Bureau?"
"Me? Forget about the internship. I'll find connections to get in later." Qin Hao replied casually.
Li Jia frowned: "It's not that easy to get into the Planning Bureau. Besides, if you don't do the internship, who will give you the internship certificate?"
"The internship certificate will be handled by the chess academy for me. Besides, the third China-Japan Challenge Tournament is about to start, and I don't have time." Qin Hao spread his hands.
In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer. Before Qin Hao had time to return to Suzhou, he followed the Chinese Go team to Japan to participate in the third China-Japan Go Challenge Tournament.
This time, the Japanese team sent the strongest lineup they could send, six top-notch players, and powerful players such as Kobayashi Akira and Lin Haifeng.
In the words of the Japanese media, this will be a revenge battle for Japanese Go.
At the beginning of the game, the Japanese team sent Lin Haifeng to play, and as expected, they gave the Chinese team a head start with a score of 6:0.
Until Ma Xiaochun played, he ended Lin Haifeng's winning streak with a slight advantage of two and a half points.
However, Ma Xiaochun lost to Kobayashi Koichi, and the Chinese team was left with only Qin Hao and Nie Weiping again.
This time, Nie Weiping played as a deputy general, while Qin Hao was the main general. This was not because Qin Hao performed outstandingly in the previous two competitions, but because Nie Weiping took the initiative to volunteer. In two consecutive challenge matches, he did not even have a chance to play. It was a pity to miss such a good opportunity to compete with the top Japanese chess players.
Nie Weiping played very well. After defeating Kobayashi Koichi, he won three consecutive games until he met Takemiya Masaaki and lost in the middle game.
Just when the Japanese media began to promote that Masaki Takemiya would break the "Qin Fear Curse" of Japanese players, Qin Hao not only defeated Masaki Miyamoto, but also won four consecutive victories again, with the sword pointed directly at the Japanese main player Kato Masao.
So, the Japanese media began to promote that Kato Masao was the last hope of Japanese Go.
As a result, Kato Masao lost again by 5.5 points. After the game, Kato Masao said helplessly that this was the best game he had played in his life, but he still lost in the end.
Qin Hao became an indelible dark cloud hanging over the Japanese Go world for a while. All Japanese Go fans wanted to tear this dark cloud apart, but they could do nothing.
"Who can beat him?"
This title appeared on the cover of the Tokyo Evening News. The photo above was a picture of Qin Hao holding a gold medal, which deeply hurt the hearts of Japanese Go fans.
There were even media reports calling on every Japanese citizen to donate 10 yen to reward the Japanese chess player who defeated Qin Hao.
This news quickly received an enthusiastic response from the Japanese people, and some people even came to Tokyo TV with their money bags.
You must know that Japan at this time can be said to be rich, and "100 million middle class" is not a joke. Let alone 10 yen, even 10 US dollars is a small matter for most Japanese people.
In such an atmosphere, Fujitsu Co., Ltd. of Japan was the first to stand up and said that they would take out 100 million yen as a total prize money to hold a World Professional Go Championship.
This news instantly detonated the world Go circle. You must know that this was 1987, and the yen appreciated all the way, and the exchange rate with the US dollar had risen to 123:1.
100 million yen is equivalent to 813,000 US dollars. What is even more shocking is that Fujitsu said that the champion will monopolize the prize money of 56 million yen, which is 450,000 US dollars.
For a time, all the professional Go players were crazy, and even the players of the Chinese team were red-eyed.
You have to know that their monthly salary is only about 100 yuan. Even if they don't win the championship, the remaining 44 million yen is a considerable amount.
So, everyone unanimously decided not to return home and stay in Japan to wait for the exact news of the Fujitsu Cup.
Fujitsu didn't let them wait too long. Just three days later, it came up with a detailed competition arrangement and announced the audition plan.
There were only 24 final places for the main competition, seven from Japan, five from China, five from South Korea, one from Europe, one from North America, and one from South America. As for the remaining one, it was Qin Hao who didn't need to participate in the audition.
Fujitsu knew very well that the reason why this competition was so popular was entirely because Qin Hao aroused the foreign psychology of the Japanese people. If he didn't participate, he would definitely lose all his 100 million yen prize money.
As if fearing that Qin Hao would not participate, Fujitsu sent a president to personally deliver the invitation letter.
Qin Hao also pretended to decline and accepted the invitation.
In fact, this Sino-Japanese Challenge Tournament has no appeal to Qin Hao. Not only is the prize money low, but it also requires a long journey. If it weren't for the promotion of "Bubugao", Qin Hao would have stopped participating.
This time, the Fujitsu Cup not only has a high prize money, but also the honor of winning the world championship. Why not?
However, since auditions will be held in various regions, the main competition is expected to start next year, so Qin Hao boarded the flight back home with the Chinese team.
Compared to being surrounded by reporters and chess fans at Shanghai Airport, the neighbors in the Cotton Mill Family Lane have long been accustomed to Qin Hao's victory.
Grandpa Li was sitting on a rocking chair in the grocery store. When he saw Qin Hao, he just shook his palm-leaf fan gently: "Haozi is good, he won the championship again."
"Irritate those little Japanese!"
When Qin Hao returned to the gate of the courtyard, he found two red silks hanging on it. One read "Warmly congratulate Zhuang Xiaoting for being admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University", and the other one had exactly the same content, except that the name was changed to Lin Dongzhe.
"Brother Hao, haha, I passed the exam, I passed the exam to Jiaotong University." Lin Dongzhe spotted Qin Hao with his sharp eyes and rushed over excitedly.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
Qin Hao patted him on the back: "Well, not bad, finally these years of hard work have not been in vain."
Lin Dongzhe giggled, his eyes drifting in the direction of Zhuang Xiaoting from time to time.
Unconsciously, Zhuang Xiaoting has grown into a graceful young lady. When she saw Qin Hao, she smiled implicitly and turned her eyes to one side.
Zhuang Tunan handed Qin Hao a piece of iced watermelon: "I have passed the postgraduate entrance examination interview, and I didn't notify you when you were in Japan."
"So our courtyard is a triple blessing, so we have to celebrate it well?" Qin Hao took the watermelon with a smile and took a big bite.
Lin Dongzhe shook his head and said, "It's not three good things, but four good things. Brother Hao, you won the championship again. We saw it on TV."
"Yes, four good things. How about having a meal at Deyue Tower? I'll treat you."
"Oh, we can have a big meal."
Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting were very happy, but Zhuang Tunan was a little hesitant: "Will it be too expensive?"
"Money is earned to be spent. If it is kept in the bank, it is just a number. It's rare that everyone is so happy, so don't spoil the fun."
Zhuang Tunan was very tactful and didn't persuade him again. Qin Hao made the decision: "Then wait until Aunt Song and the others get off work, and we will go together. I'll go and reserve a seat first."
After speaking, Qin Hao suddenly realized: "By the way, where is Pengfei? Why don't I see him?"
Speaking of this, the smiles on the faces of Zhuang Tunan and the other three froze.
"Pengfei went back to Guizhou. He didn't do well in the college entrance examination. Aunt Zhuang wanted him to repeat the year, but he didn't want to study anymore, so she called him back." Lin Dongzhe was the most familiar with Xiang Pengfei, and he knew more about Xiang Pengfei's affairs than Zhuang Tunan and his sister.
"Aunt will definitely let him repeat the year, but with Pengfei's attitude towards study, he may not be able to pass the exam even if he repeats the year." Zhuang Tunan sighed.
Zhuang Xiaoting said: "Peng Fei said that uncle bend over under the big sun to clean up the gravel under the pillow wood every day. It was half a day when he was dry. It took him to send him a living expenses. He didn't want his uncle to be so hard. If you can't get it for two years, he is afraid that his uncle's body will be exhausted. Besides, the university will have four years ... "
Qin Hao thought about it: "Individuals have personal creation, and they may not be able to go to college. When Pengfei returns, if he really doesn't miss it, let me find a job."
"But there is no professional knowledge of Peng Fei. What can he do?" Zhuang Tunan hesitated.
Qin Hao was funny for a while: "Zhuangtu Nan, are you brainwashed by Mr. Zhuang? It is only a few who can be admitted to college. After graduating from high school, there are more than many people. "" "" "" "" ""
Zhuang Tannan thought about it. Song Ying and his mother Huang Ling both joined the job after the junior high school.
"Then wait for Pengfei to come back. In case he decides to repeat it?"
Qin Hao does not refute. For Zhuang Tunnan, it is his personal experience to change his destiny. People have always been convinced of what happened to himself.
It didn't take long for a crisp bicycle ringtone in the alley, Song Ying and Huang Ling came back in the morning class.
"Haozi."
"Haozi is back."
After a while of greetings, Qin Hao stopped the two who were going to cook.
As soon as she heard that she had to go to Yuelou to eat a banquet, Huang Ling subconsciously wanted to persuade not to spend money. As a result, Song Ying hugged her arms and hilariously.
"It's rare that Haozi is east today, then I have to eat some good. Seriously, I really eat my own meals every day, and I will eat and vomit."
Huang Ling watched Song Ying envy for a while, not to envy Song Ying's respect, but was envious that she could not hide her joy and sorrow.
And she seems to have lost the ability to make herself happy. I don't know when she starts, her joy and dislikes need to be obtained from a pair of children, and she is happy to be happy.
In the afternoon, Qin Hao and his party were mighty to the entrance of the compressed machine factory and waited for Lin Wufeng to get off work.
Lin Wufeng also announced a good news. He has been nominated for the "Deputy Factory Director". Although the official appointment has not yet come down, the director has already asked him to talk about it.
Song Ying's first thought was: "Can the deputy factory director add a salary of several levels?"
Huang Ling ridiculed for a while: "Look at your wealth, when the deputy factory director is for that salary?"
"Is it true? Is it a picture of the people?" Song Ying said straightforwardly.
