Yang Zheng had only one class in the afternoon.

At three o'clock he packed his things and prepared to go home.

Dongdong's standing out not only made Yang Zheng improve his salary, but also made Yang Zheng become a "famous teacher" in the Huajia Chess Club.

Not only did the teachers of the chess classification know Yang Zheng's name, but even the teachers of Go, Guoxiang, and even the newly opened shogi club also had a deep impression of this unattractive young man.

"Hello Teacher Yang" along the way kept appearing in Yang Zheng's ears, and Yang Zheng looked at such enthusiastic classmates and colleagues, and inexplicably sighed a little more in his heart.

He seems to have truly integrated into the Huajia Chess Club and returned to society.

He thought that if his father was still alive, he might feel proud of himself.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of his age that Yang Zheng's vision and angle of looking at things have gradually become as pragmatic as his deceased father.

This kind of vision and perspective is very wonderful, it is completely beyond the growth of adolescence, the maturity of adulthood, and slowly becomes a little vicissitudes.

After Yang Zheng dealt with those enthusiastic people with sincerity, he saw two familiar shadows at the door of the chess club.

These two familiar shadows are Xi Xi, who is learning Go, and the female Go intern teacher who used to be a "temporary worker" like herself.

In the past six months, the female Go intern teacher seems to have not changed, and she is still diligently recording the punch-in records of the students who came to learn Go at the gate.

Although it is now the 21st century and mobile punching has become mainstream, not everyone has a mobile phone.

This may sound ridiculous, especially in a metropolis like Shangjing, which is basically full of mobile payments, and not having a mobile phone is even more incredible than going out without clothes.

But in fact, when you think about it, it's normal.

Electronic payment has indeed facilitated the lives of the vast majority of people, but there are also many people who refuse to enjoy the convenience of electronic payment for various reasons.

Xixi is one of them, she is very "earthy", and soil here is not a derogatory term, but simply said that she is very resistant to electronic devices.

This also has something to do with her family's long-standing concept of education, and her mother's expectations for her are so high that others feel unacceptable.

Her mother, since Xixi's childhood, decided to train her to become a professional Go player, and for this reason, her family's TV can even be turned on only three times a year.

In order to better cultivate Xixi, her mother worked very hard, often leaving early and returning late, and even had to go out as a part-time nanny on weekends.

The long-term depression also made Xixi's mother open and shut her mouth, and always told Xixi about her difficulties. Xixi also had an inferiority complex because of her mother.

If it weren't for Yang Zheng's appearance, Xixi would probably go astray and completely lose herself in the high-pressure family education.

For Xixi, Yang Zheng has a good impression.

Although he didn't know much about Go, he could tell from Dongdong's eyes and the surprisingly thick calluses on his hands that this girl was definitely the hardest working student she had ever seen.

Therefore, in the past six months, he has also paid great attention to Xixi.

It's just that in the past six months, Xixi seems to have been unhappy.

She has a certain talent for Go, but compared to the real geniuses in the class, her talent is not enough.

Not only that, but the difficulty of the test is arguably the most difficult of all chess games.

There are millions of students learning Go across the country, but only a few hundred can actually register as professional Go players, which shows that the cruelty and professionalism of Go are also incomparable to other chess sports.

Even if Xixi is really lucky enough to become a professional Go player, she will suffer a lot in the fixed stage competition. After all, there are only 20 places in Go every year, 17 men and 3 women, and the difficulty of admission can be more difficult than taking the doctoral exam.

But even though she knows that the road ahead is slim, Xixi still practices day and night.

Perhaps, for this little girl, Go is not only carrying her future, but also the future of her whole family.

She is too strict with herself, this is Wang Fugui's evaluation.

At the same time, Wang Fugui also gave her another evaluation, that is, her life is destined to be different from many people's.

Yang Zheng didn't understand Wang Fugui's evaluation at the time, and it wasn't until he saw Dongdong's tears that he understood that carrying the hopes of one person and the hopes of the whole family were absolutely different.

Xixi wasn't late today, or she hadn't been late since she went to the advanced class.

She is different from Dongdong, her family lives far away, and since her mother has a part-time job, she is also used to going to and from school alone.

Fortunately, it's summer, and even if it's eight o'clock in the evening, it's still bright sometimes.

She loves summer evenings and comes home alone after school.

Half a year has changed her a lot, she has grown a lot taller, the calluses on her hands have become much thicker, and there are a lot more smiles on her face that she didn't have before.

Different from Dongdong's passive change, Xixi is actively changing.

She and the female intern teacher found Yang Zheng who was about to go home from work almost at the same time, and unlike the intern female teacher, she still called the teacher good.

It seems that no matter how much Yang Zheng has changed, in her heart, Yang Zheng is still the man who is like her father.

Yang Zheng looked at Xixi as always, and he was inexplicably a little more ashamed in his heart.

He seemed to have noticed it, and realized that he had actually changed.

Dongdong's success made the joy of harvest for the first time for himself, who was always unsuccessful.

Stimulated by this joy, I was actually affected a lot.

I used to be full of passion, but now I always feel tired.

I used to love to play chess, but now I haven't finished a game of chess face-to-face with someone for a long time.

What's even more terrifying is that I also like to make excuses.

I began to attribute my tiredness to my age, and my laziness to the nature of my work.

What when a hobby turns into a career is a pain.

In the final analysis, it's just because I don't love it enough.

"Teacher, are you going home?" Xixi looked at Yang Zheng carrying her schoolbag, and she asked curiously.

"No, I remember that I haven't finished my work yet, and I have to go back to work." Yang Zheng touched Xixi's head thoughtfully and said, "Why don't we go up together?" ”

"Good!" Xixi is very happy, since Yang Zheng has become a famous teacher in the chess club, she rarely meets her favorite teacher Yang in the chess club.

She will occasionally think that Teacher Yang will be like other teachers, after "success", she will ignore her little transparency.

But what I didn't expect was that Mr. Yang was still so gentle, and his attitude towards himself was the same as before.

She must play chess well and must get ahead.

Otherwise, how could she be worthy of her life, which was very miserable in the eyes of others?
