Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1054 You are harming him

The red silk at the entrance of the Children's Palace was crowded with curious parents and children, talking all the time, making it as lively as a vegetable market.

"Whose child is this? He really brings honor to Suzhou."

"Yes, the national competition is a big deal."

"Tsk tsk, it would be great if this was our child."

"Sister Sun, if this was your child, you would have to find an altar to worship him."

"Haha, it's too light to offer them as a gift. You may not know that this National Children's Go Competition selects future national players. What does the champion mean? They are the national players among the national players. In the future, they may represent our country in international competitions and compete for honors."

"Oh, so we'll see this kid on TV in the future?"

"Of course. Children like this must be trained with emphasis."

Since it was Sunday, Song Ying and Huang Ling also sent Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting to the Children's Palace to attend interest classes.

Lin Dongzhe had sharp eyes and saw the content on the banner from a distance. When he got closer and heard the adults praising Qin Hao, Lin Dongzhe could not stay any longer and ran to the front of the crowd to show off.

"Qin Hao is my brother, and my brother is the champion!"

This caused the adults watching to exclaim: It turns out that genius is right among us.

Huang Ling teased Song Ying, "Later, these parents will probably ask you how you trained Haozi to be a champion."

"Our Haozi is a genius and does not need any training." Song Ying said with a smile, her tone full of pride.

Lin Dongzhe, who was surrounded by onlookers, was able to get Song Ying's existence in just a few words. Just as Huang Ling expected, all the parents gathered around and asked Song Ying about her "secret recipe" for cultivating geniuses.

Song Ying cleared her throat: "Our Haozi has been very smart since he was young. He can learn anything quickly. I didn't really care about him..."

It was not until the class was about to start at the Children's Palace that the parents let Song Ying go and hurriedly sent their children in.

Song Ying had just caught her breath when she and Huang Ling hurriedly sent Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting to class.

The two of them still found a place to sit down nearby.

"Sister Ling, do you know how funny it was just now? Someone actually asked me what I usually feed Haozi, as if their child could become a genius if he ate it."

Huang Ling covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's normal. When I went to a parent-teacher conference for Tunan, I was also asked this question. I told them that Tunan likes to eat radishes. Later, Tunan came back and said that a classmate in his class complained to him: It's all your mom's fault. She said eating radishes can make you smarter. Now we have radishes for every meal in our house."

"Haha." Song Ying laughed loudly, and then said, "Sister Ling, you don't know, I used to go to parent-teacher conferences for Lin Dongzhe and I was scolded. This is the first time someone has asked me how to educate children. I am really proud."

Huang Ling was also happy. The person she admired and envied the most was Song Ying. She envied Song Ying's open-mindedness and optimism. She never took problems to heart. She envied Song Ying's straightforwardness and boldness even more. When she encountered people and things that made her unhappy, she would fight back on the spot and never held grudges overnight.

"By the way, Sister Ling, let's go back first. We'll pick Lin Dongzhe and Xiaoting up after class."

Huang Ling was a little confused: "There's nothing to do if I go back now..."

Song Ying leaned over to Huang Ling's ear and whispered, "Haozi brought back a TV, and Lin Wufeng went to find someone to install the antenna early in the morning. It should be ready to play now."

"television?"

"It's a prize from a Go tournament."

Huang Ling opened her mouth slightly, and after a long pause she said quietly, "No wonder Qin Jianjun and his wife threw a tantrum yesterday and insisted on taking back Haozi's custody."

"Humph, they are wishful thinking. They were so cruel back then. I feel heartbroken just thinking about it now."

Huang Ling saw Song Ying's eyes were red, so she quickly pulled her home and said, "Let's go to your house and watch TV."

The two of them went all the way back to the cotton mill staff lane, only to find that quite a few people had gathered at the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey, Song Ying is back."

"Song Ying, you are so lucky."

"This is called good deeds are rewarded. Song Ying, why don't you put this TV outside so that others can also benefit from it."

Amid the respectful greetings of the neighbors, Song Ying and Huang Ling took great effort to squeeze into the courtyard.

I saw the workers who were installing the antenna were debugging it, while Qin Hao and Lin Wufeng were tinkering with the TV.

After a few minutes, amid the cheers of the surrounding neighbors, the TV screen finally stopped being filled with snow and gradually began to show images and sounds.

"The program that Beijing TV Channel 2 will bring to our audience is: All over the world: Kuwait..."

Qin Hao brought two benches and asked Song Ying and Huang Ling to sit in the middle: "Aunt Song, Aunt Huang, you sit here, you can see clearly."

"Thank you Haozi. I'll be welcome then." Huang Ling was also attracted by the exotic scenery on the TV screen and her eyes never left it.

Song Ying was not as polite as Huang Ling. She pulled Qin Hao to sit on her lap. In the eyes of others, Qin Hao was a genius and a national champion, but in her eyes, he was no different from Lin Dongzhe.

Lin Wufeng went to hand cigarettes to the master who was installing the antenna, and gave him the wine and cakes he had prepared in advance. People would not dare to accept money directly, but giving gifts could be considered a favor, and there was room for circumvention.

"Mr. Lin, Haozi has earned a big TV for our family at such a young age. You two can enjoy the good life in the future."

"Yeah, a TV this big would cost several hundred dollars. Even if we save up for two years, we still can't afford it."

Before Lin Wufeng and Song Ying could speak, Qin Hao said, "This TV is not for Aunt Song alone. Everyone can come and watch it. If you uncles and aunts hadn't stood up for me, I wouldn't have won the championship. Just consider it my thanks to you all. If you want to watch TV, come over. Don't hesitate."

The expressions on the neighbors' faces when they heard this were very interesting, some were jubilant, some were secretly ashamed.

Lin Wufeng also responded quickly: "Haozi is right, everyone has contributed to this championship."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the courtyard was smiling. Zhuang Chaoying looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh to Huang Ling beside him: "This kid is not only good at chess, but also has an easy grasp of the ways of the world. In this regard, Tunan is far behind."

Huang Ling heard this and said quietly, "I would rather Tunan never have to understand these ways of the world for his entire life."

Zhuang Chaoying was speechless for a moment. He naturally knew what Huang Ling was referring to, so he could only respond casually.

"Watch TV, watch TV."

In 1978, there were not so many TV dramas and entertainment programs. Many of the programs broadcast by TV stations were very practical science and technology lectures, such as radio, mathematics, physics, etc. Many of them were knowledge points only available in high school and above. Among the neighbors whose general education level was only junior high school, the programs were actually a bit high-end, but everyone watched them with gusto.

"Oh, it's getting dark, I have to go home and cook."

"Oh no, I was so engrossed in watching TV. It's already past five o'clock. I have to go pick up the kids."

When they heard "pick up the child", Song Ying and Huang Ling also jumped up from their stools.

"Lin Dongzhe."

"Xiao Ting is still in the Children's Palace."

Just as the two were hurriedly preparing to go out to pick up the child, Lin Dongzhe, pulling Zhuang Xiaoting, had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard with a gloomy face.

Lin Dongzhe pointed at Song Ying and scolded her: "Song Ying, you are disloyal. You said you would wait for me to finish class and then meet me. But Zhuang Xiaoting and I waited for you at the Children's Palace for more than an hour! We didn't even see you! You are just sitting here watching TV for the whole afternoon."

Song Ying felt a little embarrassed and tried to pull Lin Dongzhe, but was shaken off.

"In fact, it took less than an afternoon. It took a long time to install the antenna, and the TV just had a signal not long ago."

Lin Wufeng also helped to cover up the lie: "Yes, not long after."

Lin Dongzhe puffed his cheeks, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Qin Hao laughed and said, "Okay, if your favorite show is not available during the day, I'll let you sit in the front row and watch it at night."

"Humph, that's better." Lin Dongzhe glared at Song Ying in dissatisfaction: "I'll let you go this time, but if you do this again next time, I will never forgive you."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Wang Yong's wife next door joked.

"Lin Dongzhe is so powerful. When you grow up a few years, it will be your turn to be the master of this family."

"It's just that he's too spoiled. If it were our child, he would have been treated to a meal of bamboo shoots and fried pork."

Wu Jianguo echoed, but he didn't know that Wu Shanshan, who was standing behind him, was looking at Lin Dongzhe with envy in her eyes.

On the other side, Huang Ling was also apologizing to Zhuang Xiaoting: "Xiaoting, it's all Mom's fault today..."

"Mom, it's okay. I'm back now." Zhuang Xiaoting said obediently.

Huang Ling was still frightened: "Why did you and Lin Dongzhe come back by yourselves? Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

"No, Lin Dongzhe knows the way and taught me to watch out for cars when crossing the road."

Now Huang Ling had a new understanding of Lin Dongzhe. Although this kid was naughty, he was still quite smart.

At dinner time in the evening, Huang Ling specially fried an egg and brought it to Lin Dongzhe and Qin Hao.

"This egg is for thanking Lin Dongzhe for sending our Xiao Ting back home, and this egg is for thanking Haozi for letting our family watch TV."

Qin Hao didn't hesitate to say thank you, but as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Dongzhe ate up his fried egg.

"Brother Hao, eat quickly, it's delicious while it's hot."

"Look at how greedy you are, and no one is competing with you for it." Song Ying wiped Lin Dongzhe's mouth with helplessness on her face. Her son had a special ability to make himself sloppy anytime and anywhere.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, the courtyard was already full of people, and Lin Dongzhe's favorite news broadcast began.

At that time, the news broadcast time was not fixed at 7 o'clock. Sometimes it was earlier and sometimes later. There was no announcer to announce the program in real time. All programs were pre-recorded.

But this does not prevent ordinary people from liking the "News Broadcast", which is one of the few channels for ordinary people to understand national policies.

"** made an important instruction at the meeting: We must adhere to the socialist principle of distribution according to work. Distribution according to work means distribution according to the quantity and quality of work. Spiritual encouragement is necessary, but material encouragement is also necessary. We must restore various measures that were effective in the past. The bonus system must be restored. The system of royalties must also be restored..."

As soon as the news came out, there was a burst of discussion in the courtyard.

Zhuang Chaoying whispered to Lin Wufeng, "Mr. Lin, what do you think of this policy?"

Lin Wufeng shook his head: "It's hard to say. In fact, every factory now has a bonus system. There is a lot of resistance to fully implementing distribution according to work."

"Yes, after so many years of eating from the same big pot, it's hard to change." Zhuang Chaoying sighed.

Qin Hao listened quietly at the side without saying a word. Even a child prodigy like him couldn't understand everything, otherwise he would easily be regarded as an alien.

After the news broadcast comes the entertainment period that the general public loves most. Although the movies played are some old ones, they are still very enjoyable to watch.

The feature film played today is: The Visitor on the Iceberg. I have to say that Teacher Aishamu was really beautiful when she was young.

By the time the movie was over, it was almost nine o'clock.

"How about we stop here today? Tomorrow is Monday." Lin Wufeng stretched. He was mainly worried that Lin Dongzhe would stay in bed the next day.

The neighbors also took their reluctant children back home.

After packing up and moving the TV home, Lin Wufeng suddenly thought of a question.

"Haozi, do you still have to go to school tomorrow?"

Qin Hao was happy: "What are you doing at home if you don't go to school?"

Song Ying also looked at Lin Wufeng in confusion, and Lin Wufeng took out Qin Hao's admission letter to the Chinese Chess Academy's Junior Class.

"Doesn't it say Haozi should go to the training camp?"

Zhuang Chaoying paused when he heard this, took the letter and saw that the admission letter had the exact time and location of the training camp.

"Uncle Lin, I'd better go to school. There's no point in playing chess all day."

Qin Hao's words made Song Ying and Lin Wufeng look at each other in bewilderment. This was the junior class of the Chinese Chess Academy. Many people had tried their best but still couldn't get in.

"Nonsense, this is a great opportunity to reach the sky in one step, and you just say no?"

Song Ying and Lin Wufeng looked at Zhuang Chaoying with an excited expression and were somewhat confused. Huang Ling also didn't quite understand why her husband suddenly became so excited.

Zhuang Chaoying held up the notice and said, "I heard from my colleague Lao Wang that this Chinese Chess Academy Junior Class is specifically for training national players. Once you become a national player, you will immediately have a Beijing hukou, and your salary and benefits will all be paid according to the cadre establishment. Isn't this a quick ascension to heaven?"

Huang Ling opened her mouth slightly: "If that's the case, doesn't that mean Haozi can get a cadre salary when he's still a teenager?"

Song Ying and Lin Wufeng did not expect that the treatment of national players would be so good. Not only were the salaries good, but they were also given a residence permit. To see how popular a Beijing residence permit is these days, just look at those educated youth who are trying their best to return to Beijing.

What is the purpose of studying, taking the entrance exams for technical secondary schools, high schools, and colleges? Isn't it to get a good job after graduation? Qin Hao now doesn't need to go through those layers of selection and can embark on another smooth road. This is something that many people can't even dream of.

"Aunt Song, I still want to go to school."

Qin Hao looked up at Song Ying and said seriously.

After staring at each other for more than ten seconds, Song Ying softened her heart: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. The capital is so far away, and I'm worried about you being alone."

Zhuang Chaoying sighed and said, "How can you let a child decide about a matter that concerns his life? You are harming him." (End of this chapter)
