Chapter 11 Family
Chapter 11 Family
On the same day, at 10 pm, in the underground garage of Wanyuan Times Community, Dongjiang City.
"What are you doing standing there? Come on up! It's not like you don't have the key."
Rui Guoquan glanced at his daughter who was standing by the car with a serious expression, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Well...I'll definitely wait for you!"
There was nothing strange in Rui Zhao's tone.
Hey, I wanted to smoke a cigarette in the car!
Rui Guoquan didn't know what to say for a moment, but after thinking about it, he packed up for a while and got out of the car.
Normally, this girl would get off the car and go upstairs by herself without even looking at me. Today, I guess she was waiting here just to please me.
Although it's a bit deliberate, it's better to have it than not.
And God knows when we will be able to enjoy this kind of treatment again, so we should cherish it!
"Let's go then."
"Oh!"
...
The two walked through the garage and quickly entered the elevator.
Rui Zhao took a quick look at the atmosphere and felt that it was not very tense. Besides, he was basically "home" now, so he tried again:
"Dad, today, I won four games in a row! And I won the world championship! Look..."
At this moment, Rui Guoquan's facial muscles twitched involuntarily.
Rui Zhao quickly changed the subject: "Can you please let me rest early? I am a little tired too!"
Rui Guoquan glanced at his daughter: "Aren't you hungry?"
Hungry?
Rui Zhao was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he had not eaten since noon, and his stomach had been protesting against him for a long time!
Ah... I am really absorbed in it!
She said with embarrassment, "Yes, a little. Maybe I need to eat something when I get home... Ah, you haven't eaten either, right? Then I'll make you a bowl of noodles when I get home!"
"Forget it, you? You're lucky you didn't burn down the kitchen!"
Rui Guoquan sneered, thinking that this kid who had never done any housework would do anything to please him.
You even dare to talk about cooking noodles in your sleep... Do you really want to play Go that much?
"I can still cook noodles!" Rui Zhao insisted, "If you don't believe me, try it later!"
Rui Guoquan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Hey, how can I wait for you? I sent a WeChat message to your mother a long time ago, saying that there is food to eat when you get home! I won't bother you so much!"
"Oh, okay, okay!" Rui Zhao then shrank his head and didn't insist any more.
After the elevator reached the 15th floor, the two walked out one by one, and Rui Guoquan took out the key and opened the door.
"Guoquan, Zhaozhao! Why did you come back so late?"
The hostess, Li Xinyin, is a 45-year-old middle-aged woman with an elegant figure and dignified appearance. She works as the chief physician at the Longshan Hospital in Dongjiang City.
She was sitting on the sofa in the living room at this time. When she heard the sound of the door, she immediately rushed to the door with a worried look on her face.
"Also, Guoquan, why didn't you answer the phone? You kept sending WeChat messages saying we'd talk more when you got back. I was getting so anxious!"
"Hey, the situation is rather complicated!" Rui Guoquan said perfunctorily: "Is the food ready? Zhao Zhao and I haven't eaten since noon. Let's eat first!"
"Yes! I'll bring it to you now!" Li Xinyin wanted to continue asking, but when she heard that her husband and daughter were still hungry, she went to the kitchen to get the food on the warming board.
As soon as the food came, the father and daughter started eating.
Seeing that Rui Guoquan had no intention of talking about today's events, but was eager to know the situation, Li Xinyin asked her daughter, "Zhao Zhao, how was your visit to that Go dojo today? Do you want to strive for a higher rank?"
"I think so!" Rui Zhao swallowed a mouthful of fried eggs with chives: "I am more confident now!"
"Ah?" This answer left Li Xinyin stunned.
She imagined that even if her daughter suffered setbacks, she would not turn back until she hit the wall.
But what does this “more confidence” mean? !
"Zhao Zhao played four games today and won all of them."
Just as Li Xinyin was confused, Rui Guoquan explained expressionlessly. "Ah?!!"
"Don't say 'ah' until we finish eating first."
"Dad, you mean... you agreed to let me play chess, right?" Rui Zhao asked carefully again.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Rui Guoquan denied three times in a row with a calm expression.
"Can……"
"Don't talk for now. If you continue talking, you won't have any chance at all."
"okay."
Rui Zhao lowered her head in grievance, but she soon realized something. She suddenly looked up at her father, but did not dare to say anything more.
Rui Guoquan still ignored his daughter's actions: "Go take a shower after dinner. I just want to talk to your mother alone."
"Oh!" Rui Zhao quickly agreed.
...
...
"Then Dad, Mom! I'm going to take a shower!"
Before entering the bathroom, Rui Zhao greeted his parents.
"Go! It's getting late today."
After Li Xinyin responded, she saw her daughter close the bathroom door and immediately asked her husband:
"Guoquan, what happened to Zhaozhao today? You're driving me crazy!"
Rui Guoquan then answered: "To put it simply! We played four games today, and not only did we win all of them, we also alerted the head coach of the Human Dojo and a former world champion, and even called the chairman of the Go Association. They all said... Zhao Zhao is very talented in playing Go, and he can definitely go professional."
"Ah?" Li Xinyin couldn't hide the surprise between his brows. "I checked online and it said that it's very difficult to get into Go. If you don't study hard for seven or eight years, there's no hope at all, right?"
"But that's the fact." Rui Guoquan's tone remained unchanged: "She beat the professional chess player today - in a completely fair game."
"What?!" Li Xinyin was shocked: "Beat a professional chess player? Is it so easy to beat a professional chess player?"
"Logically, that's not the case, but I still say: this is the fact, I saw it happen with my own eyes." Rui Guoquan pointed to his eyes.
"This this……"
Li Xinyin was stunned for a moment, but came to her senses within two seconds.
"But... but even so, we can't let Zhao Zhao play professional Go! People on the Internet say that the competition in this industry is very fierce. Our family doesn't need her to make money, so why should we let her suffer like this!"
"That's the truth...that's indeed the truth." Rui Guoquan looked at his wife and said.
Seeing her husband like this, Li Xinyin immediately realized something was wrong: "Guoquan, are you...thinking?"
Rui Guoquan narrowed his eyes and did not directly answer his wife's question. Instead, he asked:
"Wife, do you feel that this child has changed a bit since he started asking to learn Go yesterday morning?"
"changed?"
"Yes, let's not talk about anything else..." Rui Guoquan glanced at the bathroom: "Just take a shower. In the past, it took you at least 20 minutes to get into the bathroom? Today, it only took three minutes!"
"Ah..." Hearing this, Li Xinyin couldn't help but bite her lip, as if thinking about something.
What my husband said is absolutely right. With my daughter's previous temper, she would either touch her phone or spend a long time looking for her pajamas. Twenty minutes was considered too little!
But today, I got all my things into the bathroom without any delay.
This...is indeed different.
"Also, I think we may have to talk quickly." Rui Guoquan added: "I'm afraid... she'll come out in a quarter of an hour after taking a shower this time!"
I started to enter the public pool today~ I guess I will wait for a week with high hopes, but still no one will fish (laugh)
But it doesn’t affect anything, please feel free to read on. Regardless of whether the contract is signed or not, I can still guarantee that I will finish the update.
