Chapter 114: Returning Home
After listening to Su Jing's words, Su Quan fell silent again.
The nephew is not convinced, how can he, who is the second uncle, be discouraged? Tan Xiaotian's talent in Go may be stronger than his nephew, but if he has high talent, will he definitely win? There is still a month and a half before the start of the Go competition at the end of the year, and there is still a lot to do in a month and a half.
In a very short time, Su Quan made a decision.
"Jing'er, you go to the east of the town to Zhang Man's family in a while, let him prepare the carriage, and pick us up at Wanjuan Building tomorrow morning to go to Qingyun City." Su Quan commanded.
"Huh? Going to Qingyun City? Su Jing said strangely when he heard this.
Of course he was happy to return to Qingyun City - he had left his parents to study with his second uncle for half a year, and he only went back to live for a few days during the Mid-Autumn Festival, how could a child who was only eight years old miss home? In fact, he is looking forward to the end of the year as soon as possible more than anyone else, first, to compete with Tan Xiaotian, and secondly, at the end of the year, he can go back to Qingyun City to celebrate the New Year with his family, and it is naturally better to go back one more time in the middle. It's just that the second uncle is sick at this time, and the journey from Meilong Town to Qingyun City is not short, so it is obviously not a good time to go back to visit relatives at this moment. "Yes." Su Quan repeated.
", Dr. Yuan said that you should have a good rest these days." Su Jing kindly reminded that he knew his uncle's character, and once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change.
"It's okay, I'm much better, drink the medicine, and rest for the night, and it should be about the same tomorrow morning. Zhang Manquan's carriage has a canopy, so as long as there is no wind on the road, it is not a big problem. Su Quan replied.
"Oh." As expected, the uncle did not change his mind, Su Jing sighed, and left the bedroom to run errands.
Su Jing walked away, Su Quan sighed lightly, and then lay down again - he is a gentleman who specializes in teaching children, but what he is good at is not Go, his own chess strength cannot be considered weak, and he may be stronger than Yuan Lang in actual combat, but it does not mean that he can teach his own chess skills to his nephew, and Yuan Lang's situation at this time is almost the same, in terms of chess strength, he barely let Su Jing's three sons still hold on, but that is based on his advantages in playing Go for more than 20 years, vision, and overall situation judgment, specific to specific technical and tactical aspects, He was already lackluster and had nothing to teach, and his role at this time was more like a strong sparring partner than a teacher who taught his skills. thought that with Su Jing's first-mover advantage of learning Go a few years earlier, he would be able to gain the upper hand in the year-end game, but now the basis of confidence no longer exists, and he has no way to anesthetize himself and revel in the dream of his own design.
With Su Quan's arrogance, he originally didn't plan to ask for help, and completely relied on his own and nephew's efforts to defeat the opponent, but the situation was stronger than people, with his ability and Su Jing's chess strength, if he wanted to achieve this goal, he couldn't say that there was no hope at all, but there was also little hope, and he couldn't talk about any certainty, in the face of the harsh reality, he had to change his original intention.
- Meilong Town is very small, with Yuan Lang and Su Quanchun's chess ability, they can become undisputed top masters, but in Qingyun City, the level of the two of them is not even ranked third-rate, there are not only teahouses for people to chat and play chess, but also special chess halls, chess houses, the owners and lecturers in it are all people who rely on chess to eat, that is the real master, and they are people who specialize in teaching chess, have rich experience in teaching chess, take advantage of the month and a half to the end of the year to invite the master to give Su Jing a special training, When he comes back from Qingyun City, his strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and at that time, are you afraid that he will not be able to stabilize Tan Xiaotian?
Qingya Zhai, one of the many teahouses in Qingyun City, the two-storey small building stands on the street, the east side is the bustling street, the west side is the small river that flows slowly, the river channel is bent and bends, there are nine curves, the green trees and grass on the bank, the boat on the river surface moves lightly, the scenery is very good, especially when the sun sets, when the golden glow falls, its scenery is even more beautiful, it makes people linger, it can be called a scene of Qingyun.
The boss of Qing Ya Zhai is surnamed Su Minghao, it is Su Jing's father, Su Quan's eldest brother, Qing Ya Zhai is in a good position, Su Hao is good at dancing with long sleeves, and is very sociable, so Qing Ya Zhai's business has always been very good, especially when it is near dusk, it is overcrowded and business is prosperous.
Familiar with the guests, Su Hao came downstairs, ready to go to the account room to check today's accounts, looking at today's situation, it is estimated that it is full of money, and it is another good harvest for another day.
"Dad!" The voice of a small child suddenly sounded behind him.
What's going on? Is it my own heart that is causing auditory hallucinations? Su Hao was stunned when he heard this, and froze for a while, thinking that he had misheard - it was less than two months before the end of the year, so he didn't expect his son to come back at this time.
"Dad! What happened to you? Why don't you ignore me?! The voice was getting closer and closer, and soon it was behind it, and this speed was probably trotting all the way, and there was a bit of dissatisfaction in the tone. His own son!
It was only then that Su Hao dared to believe that his son had returned, and hurriedly turned around--isn't it, who else could it be that the son who was thinking about him day and night was rushing over with his arms open? !
"Son!" A pair of father and son hugged each other affectionately, the children screamed and jumped, not to mention how happy they were, when Lao Tzu was also full of smiles, and there were a few more lines on his head.
After making out for a while, Su Hao's mood gradually calmed down, "Didn't you say that you would come back at the end of the year?" Why did you come back at this time? He asked, stroking his son's head.
"Huh? I forgot, the second uncle is sick and is now in the cart at the door. With a slap on the head, Su Jing shouted, and hurriedly pulled his father out the door.
"What? Is your second uncle sick? What disease? Is it serious? Ah Guang, Ah Yi, come and help! Hearing that Su Quan was sick, Su Hao was also very anxious, and while he was busy asking about the situation, he beckoned the guys in the teahouse to come out to help.
A few people went out of the door, and there was a black canopy carriage parked in front of the teahouse, the curtain was hanging, and the canopy was tightly covered, and a middle-aged man stood in front of the car, holding a long horsewhip in his arms. At first glance, it was a groom who drove the car.
"Second brother," Su Hao shouted when he came to the car, he was afraid that the second brother would catch the wind, so he didn't dare to lift the curtain immediately.
The curtain of the car was lifted from the inside, and Su Quan poked his head out, his body was already weak, and after dozens of miles of bumps, he was even more exhausted at this time, "Big brother." He shouted.
"What did you say, come, come into the house, Ayi, you go and ask Doctor Xue." Seeing Su Quan's face, Su Hao was even more anxious, and hurriedly instructed the man to ask for a doctor, while he took matters into his own hands and took the second brother out of the car and into the teahouse.
