The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 282 Death
Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen have traveled frequently with Wang Gang's family in the past two years, because Ma Shouchang likes Wang Gang's novels and also likes to play chess with Zheng Guangming.

The most important thing is that Wang Gang never thought of learning anything from Ma Shouchang and his wife, so the two families get along better.

Today Wang Gang wanted to ask Ma Shouchang for something.

"Old Ma, do you know a professional Go player?"

"Why do you ask that?" Ma Shouchang asked suspiciously.

"I see that you like playing chess so much, and you are a leader because you know professional chess players." Wang Gang said.

Ma Shouchang took a deep look at Wang Gang and asked, "Is there anything you want from me, kid?"

Wang Gang was a little embarrassed, and it happened that Qu Xiuzhen brought Feng Yue out, and when he heard Ma Shouchang's words, his face immediately became displeased.

"Xiao Zhou, let me tell you that even though Uncle Ma and I are leaders, it doesn't mean you can go through the back door through us."

Qu Xiuzhen is a very principled person, and she dislikes those opportunistic people the most.

Wang Gang quickly explained: "You misunderstood, I am not looking for you to go through the back door, but I want to ask you about professional chess players."

"Two days ago, my brother-in-law came back to celebrate the New Year and played a few games with Guangming. He said that he has the qualifications of a professional chess player. I want to find a professional chess player to understand the situation.”

Qu Xiuzhen's face finally cleared up, and she said: "So that's what happened, that kid Guangming does have a talent for Go."

Wang Gang saw that Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen's expressions had returned to normal, and said, "Guangming has been blind since childhood and is about to graduate from a special school. Finding a job has become a problem. Now Jichun's employment situation is quite tense."

Ma Shouchang nodded and said, "Yes! Bright eyes can't see, so there's not much work that can be done."

Qu Xiuzhen sighed: "Unfortunately, we don't know professional chess players, otherwise I will definitely help."

Wang Gang was a little disappointed when he heard this.

Ma Shouchang suddenly laughed and said, "Your boy is usually very smart, why are you confused at this time?"

Wang Gang looked at Ma Shouchang puzzled.

"We don't know professional chess players, but it's not difficult to find one," Ma Shouchang said proudly.

Qu Xiuzhen looked at her husband in surprise, thinking that he was going to use his power to seek personal gain for Wang Gang.

"Old Ma, you can't make mistakes in principle." Qu Xiuzhen reminded.

"What kind of wrong principle is this? It's just helping to find someone, not directly arranging bright work." Ma Shouchang said indifferently.

Qu Xiuzhen frowned and said: "Old Ma, if you ask for someone, even if you don't say so, the people below will flatter you and arrange bright things."

Wang Gang hurriedly said: "Mr. Ma, forget it. I will find a way to find the person myself. It is really inconvenient for you to come forward."

Ma Shouchang was silent for a moment, then said: "Well, I can help you find a profile of a professional chess player, but I won't come forward, you can talk to him yourself, and you are not allowed to use my name, so you can get the best of both worlds."

Qu Xiuzhen thought for a moment, and felt that Ma Shouchang's method was reliable.

"That kid Guangming is poor. If he can really become a professional chess player and win glory for the country in the future, I will also have a share of the credit." Ma Shouchang laughed.

Seeing that Ma Shouchang said this, Qu Xiuzhen no longer objected.

The two played with Feng Yue for a while before leaving. Before leaving, Ma Shouchang told him to give him ten copies when Liangjian was published.

"You shouldn't have mentioned that to Ma Lao." Zheng Juan said to Wang Gang after Ma Shouchang left.

"I just said it casually, and besides, Mr. Ma also said that he only helps me find a professional chess player, and he will not show up." Wang Gang said.

"I'm worried that once this opening is opened, Mr. Ma will not dare to associate with us in the future." Zheng Juan said worriedly.

"It shouldn't be so, Mr. Ma is not that kind of person." Wang Gang pondered for a moment and said.

Facts proved that Zheng Juan was right. Three days later, Mr. Ma sent Wang Gang a piece of paper with his name and address written on it. He ran out of the house.

The professional chess player that Ma Shou often looks for is Liu Qiming, a native of Jichun, who participated in the national Go competition many years ago and achieved a good result of No.6.

Wang Gang bought some gifts, and brought Zheng Guangming to visit his teacher directly.

Liu Qiming was originally unwilling to accept Zheng Guangming as an apprentice, but in the end he accepted the student.

Because Wang Gang gave too much.

Wang Gang paid Zheng Guangming to learn chess from Liu Qiming, and soon the teacher Liu Qiming discovered the Go talent hidden in Zheng Guangming.

The game of Go is very universal, even the blind can learn it, but it is very difficult to play it well.

Zheng Guangming can't see, but it doesn't affect playing chess, and even blindness has an advantage.

He is more focused than ordinary people, and it is easier to concentrate without being disturbed by the outside world.

Liu Qiming found that Zheng Guangming's chess moves were tricky, probably because of invisible relations, Zheng Guangming's chess playing angle was never attached to a corner of the chessboard, but looked at the whole board.

After learning chess for half a year, Liu Qiming suddenly found that he had nothing to teach, and he might not even be able to beat this blind student.

Liu Qiming approached Wang Gang, and solemnly returned the gift he gave him, and said that Zheng Guangming had already achieved professional standards and could participate in the competition.

Wang Gang sought Zheng Guangming's opinion and took him to participate in a small Go competition held by Jichun.

There were not many participants, and Zheng Guangming was the youngest.

At that time, many people were not optimistic about Zheng Guangming, thinking that he was too young and invisible, so he couldn't even pass the preliminaries.

As a result, Zheng Guangming's performance severely slapped everyone in the face. He went all the way from the preliminaries to the finals and won the championship.

There is no prize money for the champion, and there is no reward, except for a big tea mug and a certificate.

But the meaning of this competition to Zheng Guangming is different. He proved one thing to the world.

Even people with disabilities can become professional chess players.

After the game, Zheng Guangming became well-known in the Jichun Go world.

The main reason is that Zheng Guangming's game was widely reported by the newspapers, and the topic of a blind Go champion was too high.

What was even more unexpected to Wang Gang was that after Zheng Guangming won the championship, Zheng's mother's complexion improved a lot.

Since the Chinese New Year, Mother Zheng moved back to live in Taiping Hutong, her complexion is getting worse day by day, and her appetite is getting worse.

Seeing this, Zheng Juan felt anxious, and Wang Gang also spent money to buy supplements for Zheng's mother.

It's a pity that Zheng's mother is exhausted, and it's useless to eat anything.

Mother Zheng's only concern now is Zheng Guangming, so she can hold her breath.

Zheng Guangming won the championship and officially started his career as a professional Go player. Seeing that her son has acquired a skill, Zheng's mother let go of her anger.

Zheng's mother ate a big meal, she was in a good mood and her face was rosy, but both Zheng Juan and Wang Gang knew in their hearts that this was already a flashback.

On the third day after Zheng Guangming won the championship, Zheng's mother passed away on a quiet morning. She passed away in her sleep, with a smile on her face, as if she was dreaming some sweet dream.

Mother Zheng's funeral was relatively simple. Apart from Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming, she had no relatives, let alone friends.

At the funeral, Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming cried into tears, and Li Suhua was in a bad mood. Wang Gang took care of the whole funeral.

For Wang Gang's sake, Xiao Guoqing's friends also came to mourn Zheng's mother.

Li Suhua also entrusted letters to Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong.

Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi were too far away to attend the funeral. Zhou Rong did not attend the funeral on the pretext of being busy with work.

On the day of Mother Zheng's burial, apart from Wang Gang's family, only Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chaochao came to help.

After dealing with Zheng's funeral, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was officially notified, and Ji Chun also set the time for the college entrance examination.

December 12-11.

It took only a little more than a month from the announcement to the official exam, but the enthusiasm for applying for the exam could not be resisted.

Tens of thousands of people in Jichun City signed up for the college entrance examination, and many of them participated in the optical film.

Both Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao signed up, but Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao did not sign up.

Wang Gang and Zheng Juan signed up for the competition immediately.

On the day of the college entrance examination, Li Suhua specially bought deep-fried dough sticks and boiled eggs, wishing his son and daughter-in-law a smooth exam.

After entering the examination room, Wang Gang got the test paper and looked at it, and his whole heart was at ease.

In the first session after resumption, the questions were really easy, as long as you study carefully, it is not difficult to get a good score in the test.

Zheng Juan is stable in college.

After the exam, Wang Gang and Zheng Juan waited patiently for a while, and then received the admission notice.

Wang Gang was admitted to the Chinese Department of Peking University, and Zheng Juan was admitted to the Education Department of Beijing Normal University.

The moment Li Suhua received the admission notice, Li Suhua wept with joy. Zheng Juan took her younger brother to worship Zheng's mother and told her the good news.

However, the couple passed the exams in the capital's schools at the same time, and another problem arose.

What do they do at home when they go to school?
