Wang Gang thought that after Zheng Guangming won the championship, it would not have much impact on his life, but it turned out that he underestimated the gold content of this championship.
The day after Zheng Guangming won the championship, leaders from the district came to visit Zheng Juan to express their condolences.
The leader was so enthusiastic that people who didn't know better thought he was some relative of the Zheng family.
Next, the dean of the Chess Academy came to express condolences to Zheng Juan on behalf of the Chess Academy. He kept asking her about any difficulties in life and study, saying that the Chess Academy would definitely find a solution.
Zheng Juan was shocked by this battle. It was Wang Gang who came to send these people away.
At school, Zheng Juan also received special treatment. The leaders of the department talked to her and asked her if she had any idea of staying in school to study for a Ph.D.
You should know that Zheng Juan has not even graduated with a master's degree.
Her mentor, a nationally renowned scholar and expert in special education, even expressed his desire to meet Zheng Guangming and learn about his experience of being blind and achieving great success.
Zheng Juan also received invitations from some classmates. Intentionally or unintentionally, they were asking about Guangming's personal situation, but she just explicitly said that she wanted to introduce someone to them.
Zheng Guangming only returned to China on the third day after the game. The airport was surrounded by people picking him up, as well as a large number of reporters.
Wang Gang and Zheng Juan could only stand in the back row, watching Zheng Guangming come out of the gate and be surrounded.
Genius boy, blind chess master, Go hero, these titles have long been placed on Zheng Guangming's head, making this young man in his early twenties seem very embarrassed, even at a loss.
Wang just managed to squeeze into the crowd and brought Zheng Guangming out.
After returning home, Zheng Juan and Wang Gang breathed a sigh of relief.
"These reporters are so crazy." Zheng Juan gasped and patted her chest.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "It's hard for those reporters to squat at the airport early in the morning waiting for Guangming to come back. After all, he is the first domestic Go champion in more than half a century."
Zheng Guangming said shyly: "That's as powerful as my brother-in-law said."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Okay! Don't be humble. The leader of your chess academy came to your home two days ago and said that the house you live in is a bit small. He plans to give you a bigger house and a nanny.
All the money comes from the Chess Academy."
Zheng Guangming said in surprise: "I live quite well now."
"Your one room and one living room is enough for you to live alone. When you get married and have children in the future, it won't be enough." Zheng Juan held Zheng Guangming's hand and said:
"Originally, your brother-in-law bought three houses, and I planned to leave one for you, but now I have saved all the money. My brother is now capable. He not only won the Go championship, but also brought glory to the country. I heard that the prize money for the championship this time is not limited to young and old!"
Zheng Guangming took out a thick envelope from his bag and handed it to Zheng Juan.
"Sister, this is my prize money for winning the championship. Part of it will be given to the Chess Academy, and the rest will be given to you." Zheng Guangming said solemnly.
Zheng Juan directly pushed the envelope back and said: "You take your bonus, why do you give it to me? I'm not short of money."
Zheng Guangming said seriously: "I know that you and your brother-in-law have spent a lot of money to take care of me over the years. I will pay you back this little money."
Zheng Juan's face immediately dropped.
"What are you doing? If you win a championship, you don't want to recognize me as your sister. Why don't you take money to draw a line with me?"
Zheng Guangming said in a panic: "Sister, I didn't mean that. I didn't have the ability before, so I couldn't help it. Now that I have the ability, I naturally want to compensate you. Giving you money is not to draw a clear line, but just to express my gratitude to you.
"
Zheng Juan's face softened slightly, she put the money into Zheng Guangming's hand, and said: "We are siblings, it is only natural that I take care of you, and you don't need to pay it back.
It’s not easy for you to get this bonus. I know how much you have suffered in order to play chess over the years. It’s a pity that my mother didn’t get to see you grow up, otherwise I wouldn’t know how happy I would be.”
As she spoke, Zheng Juan's tears fell again.
Wang Gang stepped forward to help Zheng Juan and said, "Why are you crying? Today is such a happy day, so we won't shed tears."
Zheng Juan laughed and wiped away the tears on her face.
Wang Gang said: "If you ask me, Juan'er, you should keep this money. First, help Guangming get a passbook and save it as his wife's book. I believe he will win many, many championships in the future, and he will be soft on bonuses."
"Brother-in-law is right, sister, please save the money for me first." Zheng Guangming said with a smile.
Zheng Juan reluctantly accepted the money, and then said: "That's okay! Leave the money with me first, and wait for you to use it when you get married later."
"By the way, many young girls in my school have asked me about you. You can meet them when you have time, and if you find the right one, you can develop them. I'm still anxious to be an aunt."
Zheng Guangming was confused when he heard this. He had no intention of getting married so as not to drag down his girl.
"Sister, I'll just disappear! I'm still young and don't want to get married so early." Zheng Guangming planned to delay it as long as he could.
"What are you talking about?" Zheng Juan said unwillingly: "You are not young either. At your age, I am already married to your brother-in-law."
Zheng Guangming was helpless. Wang Gang stood up and said, "Don't be in a hurry for the blind date. Summer vacation is about to begin. Can we find a time to go back to Jichun to pay homage to your mother and let her know that she is happy to know that Guangming won the championship?"
"Yes, I haven't paid homage to my mother for a long time," Zheng Guangming said.
Zheng Juan thought about it and it was right. Since they came to the capital to study, they have indeed not gone back for several years.
This time I just took this opportunity to go back.
Wang Gang told Li Suhua this idea and received her full support. She even called Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi back and asked them if they wanted to go back together.
"Mom, I won't go back. I'm busy with work and have few vacations. It would be too soon to go back to Jichun." Zhou Bingyi refused.
"You and Dongmei haven't seen each other for a long time. She will graduate soon. Should she stay and work in Jichun, or go to the capital to reunite with you?" Li Suhua asked.
Zhou Bingyi shook his head and said: "Dongmei may stay in Jichun. I heard that his father is not in good health."
Li Suhua said in surprise: "Ah! Is Mr. Hao not in good health? I never heard you say that, so you have to go back even more!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Bingyi shook his head and said: "I talked to Dongmei on the phone. His father's condition is quite stable. He has now retired from the front line and is recuperating at home."
Li Suhua complained: "Why are you talking about such an important matter now? Our two families are in-laws after all. If our in-laws are sick and we can't be there, we should send some condolence gifts."
Zhou Bingyi was very embarrassed. There were some things he couldn't tell his mother openly.
Senior official Hao never recognized the Zhou family as his in-laws, and he specifically told his daughter Hao Dongmei not to tell Zhou Bingyi when he fell ill this time.
Later, Hao Dongmei felt something was inappropriate and secretly called Zhou Bingyi.
From this incident, Zhou Bingyi completely stopped thinking about it and no longer asked for the approval of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Wang Gang on the side also knew that because of his own reasons, Zhou Bingyi moved out of Hao's house early and lacked the opportunity to get along with Hao Guan and his wife.
These two snobby couples did not see the potential in Zhou Bingyi, and they did not agree with their daughter's marriage. Everything they did was to draw a clear line.
"Brother, since you can't go back, let's buy some condolence gifts and go visit your father-in-law." Zhou Rong suggested on her own as she didn't know what was going on inside.
Zhou Bingyi was startled and said, "No need! Dongmei's family is lacking in everything."
Li Suhua complained: "You kid, why are you so ignorant? It's a courtesy for us to send condolence gifts."
Seeing his mother being so determined, Zhou Bengyi felt a little dizzy.
"Otherwise, I'd better go back to work and ask for leave, and let's go back to Jichun together!"
Zhou Bingyi was worried that the two families would be unhappy if they actually met, so he had no choice but to take leave and return to Jichun.
Wang Gang bought the train tickets the next day, all sleeper berths. This time he was worried about Li Suhua's motion sickness, so he made some preparations. Not only did he buy motion sickness medicine, but he also bought a lot of plum blossoms.
Sure enough, Li Suhua started to get motion sickness as soon as she got on the train. She took medicine and put a plum in her mouth to feel better.
When the train arrived at the station, Li Suhua was obviously much better than the last time she went to the capital. She could get off the train without anyone's help.
When he came back this time, Wang Gang notified Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing in advance. In addition to asking them to pick up the train, he also had to clean the original house.
Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing have been renting Wang Gang's house in the past few years, so they are still willing to help with this small favor.
Li Suhua was very excited to set foot on the land of Jichun again after six years.
What made her even more excited was that he saw an unexpected person at the train station.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Li Suhua actually saw Zhou Zhigang!
"Old lady, I'm retired and will never leave you again." Zhou Zhigang said with a smile.
"Ah! Retirement!?" Li Suhua said to herself in disbelief.
"Mom, this is a surprise from my dad." Wang Gang stood up and said to Li Suhua: "Are you surprised or not?"
Li Suhua looked at the smiling faces of the children around her, then looked at her wife in front of her, and said happily: "My life is complete."
