Chapter 253: Competition
Blowing, blowing, blowing, and beating lasted for a total of seven days, and on the evening of the seventh day, the children of the Xu family cried all the way to an intersection, burning those paper items to send the way for the old man of the Xu family.
Early the next morning, Mr. Xu and his wife, who had already been buried in his hometown, were placed together.
After that, there were customs such as Erqi and Sanqi, but the day after Old Man Xu was buried, Lin Xiaoxiao and Su Qingyu got into Li Wanyu's car and returned to N City together.
The most important thing is the death of grandpa and his entry into the ground, and in order to show the grand ceremony, whether it is Lin Xiaoxiao or Li Wanyu, there is no need to participate anymore.
In addition, there is another point, the Go game is about to start, and Su Qingyu needs to go back to participate in the preliminaries.
Unlike Lin Xiaoxiao, Su Qingyu had not participated in the competition before, so naturally he couldn't directly prepare for the final selection competition in N City like Lin Xiaoxiao.
And Lin Xiaoxiao also needs to go back, practicing the piano and playing Go, these are all plans that have been made, and grandpa ...... It has been firmly imprinted in her heart, even if she doesn't think about it, he is there, silently blessing her and protecting her.
"Call me when you go to Beijing in a few days, and grandma will pick you up when you go." Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao kindly, Li Wanyu smiled and touched her hair.
"Well, Grandma Li also pays attention to her body, I've been bothering you these days." Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, this old lady was not as sad as she imagined, because of her grandfather's death. Of course, the feeling of sadness could be seen in her eyes, but for someone of this age, this kind of life and death parting had already been seen through.
"There's nothing troublesome or troublesome, just call me if you have something, there's no grandpa, and Grandma Li loves you." hugged Lin Xiaoxiao again, Li Wanyu let her and Su Qingyu get out of the car, waved her hand, and the car drove away.
"I've troubled you these past few days......" After getting out of the car, Lin Xiaoxiao said to Su Qingyu embarrassedly.
"It's nothing, it's all adults, and I haven't done anything." Su Qingyu smiled, he is just a child, what can he do to help? It's just to accompany Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, whether he helped him or not, he knew in his heart that this friendship would be remembered in her heart.
The two turned around and walked towards the courtyard of the Lin family, and in the distance, they heard a rooster and duck crying - no matter what happened, life continued, so remember what we should remember, and live what we should live.
"Sister?! Sister is back! Sun Ming, who was chasing chickens around in the yard, saw Lin Xiaoxiao enter the yard and ran over with two yells.
Glancing at the chickens in the yard that were almost half missing, Lin Xiaoxiao asked with a dark face, "Say, how many of them have you trampled to death?" ”
Sun Ming's figure paused and smirked twice: "Sister...... I didn't trample to death...... My mom said the chicks weren't easy to feed......"
Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao knew that the chickens were not easy to raise, and they were quite difficult to raise, not to mention Sun Ming, it was not easy for herself to raise about half of the chickens that could be left now, she just found a reason to stop Sun Ming from pounceing on herself.
When she entered the house, Aunt Lin was sitting in the living room watching TV, and when she saw Lin Xiaoxiao coming back, she asked in surprise, "Are you back?" Where's your mother? ”
"My mom has to wait a few days to come back." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded at her, turned around and walked towards the second floor.
Grandpa had already told Dad Lin by phone a few days ago, presumably Aunt Lin and Grandma Lin already knew, and there was no need for her to report it again.
After going out for so many days, she was tired, very tired.
I didn't wake up until midnight, Lin Xiaoxiao lay on the bed and opened her eyes, from today onwards, you have to work hard!
Only by working hard can you rest assured that Dad Lin and Mom Lin, and only by working hard can you make yourself and your family happy. Keep your mentality, just like before, even if there are such joys and sorrows around you, you must insist on guarding your heart......
I closed my eyes again, and the figure of a small person appeared in my mind, although he was still very thin and looked very thin, but he could really rely on ...... The corners of his mouth curled involuntarily.
At the beginning of July, the Go trials in N City began, and on a hot summer day, some of the men and women who participated in the competition gathered in the field, and one after another the chess pieces fell into the board.
"Huh? Why is there a little girl sitting here? Several players who won in the middle game came out of the field and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao in surprise.
"Maybe it's waiting for the parents, right?"
"Waiting for parents? Who still brings their children to this kind of competition? The man laughed and complained.
"What's that? You don't know yet, do you? A 10-year-old boy has been competing in the past few days, and he has already won several races in a row! Even Mr. Wang, who was selected as one of the top five in N City last year, lost in his hands! ”
"What's that?" Another person who came out of the venue heard the conversation between the two and snorted, "A few years ago, there was a little girl who was only five or six years old and entered the top three, and won more than a dozen places in the national competition!" ”
"Five or six?" The two were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao was holding a book, and she was addicted to it, when someone suddenly called her: "Xiaoxiao? Is this a laugh? ”
As soon as he looked up, Lin Xiaoxiao stood up with a smile: "Uncle Li." ”
"It's really you! Growing so tall? Li Zhong sighed, "Why are you here?" Didn't you have to wait for the finals in N City without participating in the preliminaries? ”
"Oh, I'm waiting for someone." As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he saw Su Qingyu walk out, "How is it?" ”
"Win." Su Qingyu smiled and walked over to the two of them.
"Huh?! Are you waiting for him?! Li Zhongsheng was taken aback, this Su Qingyu's results in the past few days have been very good, and their staff are also paying attention to him, but they didn't expect to know Lin Xiaoxiao?
"yes, is there anything else Uncle Li is up to? We're going back. Lin Xiaoxiao put the bookmark into the book and asked casually.
"No, no, you two come on, our N City is still counting on you!" Li Zhongsheng shook his head again and again, and said goodbye to the two with a smile.
Although he wanted to be close to Lin Xiaoxiao and Su Qingyu, he had no choice but to have Lin Xiaoxiao's little girl's idea right, and Su Qingyu was brought by her...... Forget it, anyway, my relationship with Guan Lin Xiaoxiao is okay, and I'll talk about it later.
"Director Li, is that little girl just now the same one from a few years ago?" Several Go players gathered around and asked curiously.
"Yes, it's her, she had something to do two years ago, and she couldn't participate, and it's not easy for her to call her this year." Li Zhongsheng answered, nodded at everyone and left.
"Hey, she was powerful in the past few years, but she may not be so powerful now, who knows if she has made progress in the past two years?"
"Yes, yes......"
"It's still a child, how good can it be?"
While comforting themselves, the players dispersed.
Two days later, Lin's mother went home.
Entering the house with her head down, Mama Lin put things into the living room, and under the surprised gaze of Sun Ming, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Su Qingyu, Mama Lin entered Grandma Lin's room, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and returned to her room after reporting the funeral......
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Qingyu helplessly, walked to the phone, and called Lin's father.
Comforting Lin's mother still needs Lin's father to come back, even if she can speak well, she can't comfort a daughter who has just lost her beloved father.
