People are on the road, there is snow, there is rain, listen to the rain and enjoy the snow.

On the snow-covered streets, there is a potholed and crooked path. The path was not swept or shoveled, but trodden by early risers.

Yang Zheng held an umbrella and walked alone on this path.

The wind, snow and rain wet his umbrella and his face. But it didn't seem to have extinguished his heart.

He squinted, lifted his umbrella with difficulty, and walked step by step with his head held high on the path that others had trodden.

Step by step, he stepped on this crooked path neatly, and he also stepped on this potholed path step by step.

Although he knew that no matter how hard he tried, this path would change back to its previous appearance with the wind, rain, and snow in a few moments. But he also knew that there were still pedestrians like him behind him.

As long as the pedestrians behind can follow the footsteps of their predecessors like him, then this path will eventually be able to withstand the snowstorm and become a real avenue.

Today's Yang Zheng is in a good mood.

Because, he finally found a satisfying job. This job was introduced by Uncle Li, and it is also a job that I have some hope for.

Although the job was difficult and different from all the jobs he had worked before. But remembering what Uncle Li said, there is almost no overtime in this job, and the salary is not bad, and more importantly, this job should also be able to help Huanhuan.

At the thought of Huanhuan, the lines of his face, which had been frozen by the wind, snow and rain, gradually softened. The cold pale face without a trace of blood, and because of the soft lines, he gradually became ruddy, he pursed his lips, and clenched the hand that had been trembling while holding the umbrella, only to calm down the sound of his heart that had just remembered Huanhuan and pounced to the piercing heart.

He sighed vigorously, his eyes returned to his former firmness, and his steps were more steady on the snow-covered path.

Huajia Chess Club.

It is the largest chess club in Shangjing, it is a Go and chess-based training institution, with more than a dozen amateur Go players registered in the fifth dan or more, in addition to hundreds of training teachers. It is said that this chess club has nearly 2,000 students of different levels and re-examination students.

In this era of Go and chess can add points to the college entrance examination, learning Go and chess has long become a trend, a choice, and it can be said that they are a great future.

The place where Yang Zheng wants to work is the famous Huajia Chess Club.

But he's not teaching Go and chess, nor is he a teacher. Just as a teaching assistant in the chess class of the Huajia Chess Club.

Chess was also a feature of the Huajia Chess Club, but no matter how good you play, you can't add points to the turning point of your life in the high school entrance examination. Even the college entrance examination does not enjoy extra points in most cities. Because of this, in the past ten years, the five classes of chess have been reduced to one class and one teacher.

In line with the new business model of self-financing, the chess class in the Huajia Chess Club is more like a classroom contracted by outsiders. After all, the teacher of the chess class not only does not have a salary, but also has to pay his own rent.

But the chess teacher of the Huajia Chess Club is not an ordinary person, at least in Uncle Li's mouth, the teacher of the Huajia Chess Club is an upright and ruthless person.

Why do you want to describe her as upright and ruthless, because she is upright and upright, and she is ruthless in chess. I heard Uncle Li say that this woman plays chess quickly and ruthlessly, and many chess masters of the older generation have been defeated by her.

This woman is not only ruthless in chess, but also even more ruthless in herself.

She could go two days and two nights without eating or drinking, and indulged in specializing in chess and chess games. She can also play more than 40 games a day, at most with five or six opponents at the same time, and she will not regret or retreat.

is also because she is so cruel to herself and so obsessed with playing chess. In addition, when she debuted at the age of seven, Liang Yingdi's "Chess King" was a hit, and everyone called her in awe the nickname of "Chess King" protagonist Wang Shengsheng's chess nerd.

She doesn't care what she is called a nerd or not, for her, as long as she can play chess and play against different masters, even if she is called a nerd and a fool, it seems that it is not so important.

Uncle Li and her are old chess friends. Uncle Li will always inadvertently regret when mentioning her, regretting that this chess nerd was born at the wrong time. If he was born more than 20 years early, he would definitely become a generation of grandmasters, or even the kind of grandmasters who can bring Chinese and Chinese chess to the world stage. But born in this frozen era, no matter how good you are at chess, it is just a trail, and you will never be able to walk on the sunny road.

At that time, Yang Zheng looked at Uncle Li, who was smiling all day, and for the first time because he admitted that chess was a small way, he revealed his powerless remorse, and he also inexplicably felt empathy.

It seems that the world is developing rapidly with the times, and many things have been frozen since birth.

The so-called avenues are three thousand, and there are countless small roads, and there are passages. It's like it's just a joke in this day and age!

……

Yang Zheng stepped on the piercing class bell of the Huajia Chess Club and stepped into this building with a very modern design.

The single rooms of the building, which are separated from each other, resemble the intersection points on the Go board.

The 361 rooms also correspond to the 361 intersections on the Go board.

The location where the Xiangqi Chess Club is located used to be Tianyuan.

When the heyday of "The King of Chess" was on the air, its position should be Tianyuan.

Later, it changed from Tianyuan to Xiaomu, Gaomu, and Outside the Eyes to today's Sansan.

It can be seen that the owner of this chess club still has certain expectations for traditional chess.

Perhaps, he has expectations for chess nerds.

When Yang Zheng found the location of the chess class, it had been about fifteen minutes in class.

In the forty-square-meter chess room, there are nine neat chess tables.

Except for the one in the middle of the nine chess tables, where a woman sits, each of the remaining eight tables houses four teenage children.

Just looking at the back, the woman sitting in the middle, dressed in a loose Hanfu, with her hair coiled high, her neck white and slender, and her ears are small and cute.

She also spoke softly, and spit out a series of professional terms that Yang Zheng couldn't understand. She also spoke slowly, but with a sonorous power to the hearts of the observers.

Her voice is also very good, it is not an exaggeration to use the spring breeze, and the spring breeze and rain are just right, it seems that as she falls word by word, the snow and rain outside the window also melt with the unfathomable four-word words in her mouth, turning into bursts of white mist and nailing to the window.

"You're finally here." The woman seemed to hear Yang Zheng's footsteps.

She paused.

"Well, I'm here." Yang Zheng was a little embarrassed, he was late for the first day of work, and he was arrested by the boss, which made him even more embarrassed.

"Listen to Li Jiangang Uncle Li, you are a chess master?" She didn't seem to care about Yang Zheng's tardiness, her voice rose, and with her high-pitched voice, the wind outside the window seemed to be much warmer.

"Why don't we kill the two of us first?"

The chess nerd turned his head, and his face, which was very clean without any modification, bloomed with a seemingly weak look.

It was a pair of eyes full of light, and the fluorescent lamp hanging high in the chess room seemed to hit the "horse" pinched by her two slender fingers because of her retrospective eyes, and it also seemed that she also grabbed the light in her hands...
