01 A new life

The news that Dongdong won the second place soon spread throughout the Huajia Chess Club. Almost everyone who knows Dongdong feels incredible, who would have thought that a child who has only been learning chess for more than half a year can become a second-level chess player after a few games?

The overwhelming praise and countless doubts made Dongdong's name the focus for the first time.

At the entrance of the Huajia Chess Club, there are also posters of Dongdong real people.

Dongdong on the poster swept away the confusion of the past, and the second-level chess certificate in her hand and the close-up of her tears in her eyes really attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Yang Zheng looked at Dongdong's life-size poster, and he couldn't help but smile.

He suddenly remembered a sentence he had read in the newspaper, which he could no longer remember, but he remembered probably, presumably, that no one would remember the second place, and people would only cheer for the first place.

But in reality, there are many people who will remember the second, third, or even fourth and fifth places. Because whether it is the first place or the first place, they are actually very good, and they also have stories worth singing behind them.

Sometimes I can't remember the second place, the third place, just because the second and third places are not good enough.

Dongdong's life has also changed a lot because of the title of second-level chess player.

She will have an income of 1,000 yuan a month, and she can also participate in professional teams around the world, participate in chess competitions of all sizes, and use her own strength to earn money.

Although Huaxia Chess cannot enjoy the policy of extra points in the college entrance examination now, if she gets a good ranking in the national, Asian and world-class competitions, then her future study path will be much smoother.

What's more, since Dongdong learned chess, her patience and mentality have been improved a lot, which will also help her daily learning and growth.

The future always has to be handed over to the future to have results, isn't it?

"Teacher Yang, it's early."

Not only Dongdong changed his fate because of chess, but Yang Zheng also became Teacher Yang from a young teacher to Teacher Yang because of Dongdong.

He already has the official establishment of the chess club, and because of Dongdong's outstanding results, he has also increased his salary by 2,000 yuan every month, and he has also brought a beginner class.

Today is the first day of his junior class, and unlike the adult amateur class, most of the beginner classes he takes are children.

Some parents even forcibly arrange their four or five-year-old children in Yang Zheng's class, hoping that their children will become second-level chess players like Dongdong within a year or two.

This also made Yang Zheng cry and laugh, some of these four or five-year-old children can't even recognize the words on chess, and their parents still fantasize that they will become second-level chess players at the age of six or seven, which is really beyond his imagination.

He also looked at these parents who wanted their sons to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes, and patiently explained that chess is actually a step-by-step process, and children of their age must lay a good foundation first, and never rush to achieve success. But those parents didn't seem to listen to Yang Zheng's words, although they all nodded on the surface, but the trace of "expectation" in their eyes betrayed their true thoughts in their hearts.

Yang Zheng is also a person from the past, although he has no experience in marriage and raising children, but at the age of thirty, he also slowly understood his father's and mother's thoughts in some things, he learned to tolerate, learn to understand, and learn to be quiet.

He, because he learned, looked at these parents who wanted their sons to become dragons and daughters to become phoenixes, and no longer persuaded anything, he only felt that there seemed to be something more on his shoulders.

These things were heavy, even heavier than his own weight.

The beginner class is not easy to bring, and in just one morning, Yang Zheng felt exhausted.

The students are very well-behaved and not noisy, but some are too young and too introverted, and they don't even dare to tell the teacher when they go to the toilet, causing Yang Zheng to ask every ten minutes, do you want to go to the toilet?

This unexpected carefulness also made him not pee his pants like other beginner classes all morning.

He is very attentive, treats each student with heart, and also focuses on cultivating students' interests as the first lesson of today.

He also taught the students only the simple rules of chess and the imagination of the chess pieces, and let the group of children play against each other, which also made the beginner children more or less interested in chess, and he also felt as if he had figured out the teacher's doorway.

But being a teacher is too tiring, not only to keep an eye on all students, but also to treat every student equally, when Yang Zheng returned to the office, he felt that he didn't want to do anything but sleep now.

He looked at the radiant Pengfei, and couldn't help but have the illusion that the young man's energy was really good.

Peng Fei also took the beginner class, as a master-level professional chess player, he led the beginner class obviously a little overkill, but he enjoyed it.

Of the four beginner classes, Peng Fei took two, but unlike the students who liked Yang Zheng, the students in Peng Fei's class were a little afraid of Peng Fei.

Pengfei's teaching is very strict, and parents are always required to supervise students to go home and practice at least two hours on the game after class.

After the professional chess player assessment, his requirements became stricter, and he could often hear the children's cries in the beginner class taught by Peng Fei.

However, few parents will feel that Pengfei is doing something wrong, and even they feel that Pengfei's strict requirements for their children are a preference.

However, it is right to favor them, but it is not necessary to favor their own children.

Peng Fei, who came out of the chess academy, only prefers children who he thinks are promising, such as those who are outstanding in memory and logical thinking, and as for other children, he only asks to be on the average line.

What he advocates is the elite education of the chess academy, and it is precisely because it is an elite education that he will irresponsibly use the method of survival of the fittest and put most of his energy on the good children in his eyes.

One pair of fifty and one pair of five, it is obvious that one pair of five retains more energy.

He looked at Yang Zheng, who was exhausted, and he didn't say anything.

He also advised Yang Zheng before not to give anything equally to every child, and he also told Yang Zheng that chess is about talent.

But Yang Zheng seems to be very stupid and naïve, he always feels that as long as parents put their children in his hands, he must be responsible for all children and treat them equally.

Although Pengfei does not approve of Yang Zheng's education method, it does not mean that he is against it, on the contrary, in this complex world, idealism is also indispensable.

The world is beautiful because of tolerance, and the world is wonderful because of its different landscapes.
