Chapter 1061 3 Perfect (Additional update! Please give me a monthly ticket!)
As a result, what you fear will come true. Wang Yong’s wife from the next yard suddenly said something.
"By the way, didn't Old Wu say that if Haozi won the championship, he would give him a set of thirty-six kicks?"
"I remember too, Old Wu said this."
Everyone started to make a fuss, making Wu Jianguo and Zhang A-mei look upset, especially Zhang A-mei, who glared at Wu Jianguo fiercely, then stood up and left the yard angrily.
Seeing this, Lin Wufeng tried to smooth things over for Wu Jianguo: "It's all a joke, don't take it seriously."
Wu Jianguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to back down when Wang Yong's wife said something else.
"Old Wu and Haozi high-fived each other back then, does that not count?"
Qin Hao was somewhat puzzled and turned to ask Song Ying: "Does Wang Yong's family have a grudge against Wu Jianguo?"
Song Ying lowered her voice and said, "It wasn't with Wu Jianguo, it was with Zhang A-mei. Zhang A-mei works at the street office, and Wang Yong's wife's brother just graduated, so she wanted to ask Zhang A-mei to help her brother find a temporary job. She also sent a few cans of yellow peaches, cigarettes and alcohol, but it didn't work out. When Zhang A-mei sent the things back, she said that the child was greedy and ate a can of canned food. Wang Yong's wife quarreled with Zhang A-mei on the spot, and it was considered a complete break-up."
Qin Hao was speechless. This Zhang A-mei was really a ruthless person. She didn't have the ability to help find a job, so she shouldn't have accepted other people's gifts. She accepted the gifts and didn't do anything. Even if the child ate the canned food, she could just buy another can to replace it. But she had to take advantage of this small advantage and make others suffer in silence. No wonder Wang Yong's wife always targeted Wu Jianguo.
Wu Jianguo was also put on the spot, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "The game hasn't finished yet."
"Hey, Old Wu, do you mean to say that Haozi lied?"
"I...I didn't say that...seeing is believing anyway."
Wu Jianguo was afraid that Wang Yong's wife would continue to pester him, so he returned home in shame.
That night, one could hear Zhang A-mei and Wu Jianguo having a loud quarrel, and even the sound of things being thrown. Given Zhang A-mei's stingy personality, the fact that she was throwing things showed how angry she was.
During breakfast the next day, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng asked Qin Hao indirectly about his opinion on the bet.
"It doesn't matter whether I want the set of thirty-six legs or not, but the problem now is that Uncle Wu has offended someone. Others will poke him in the back, and he won't be able to save his face." Qin Hao spread his hands.
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng stopped talking. The cotton mill family alley was a society of acquaintances. They saw each other every day. They were talked about every day. Even if Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei were thick-skinned, what about Xiaomin, Xiaojun and Shanshan?
"Forget it. This is not our business. Let Wu Jianguo and Zhang A'mei figure it out themselves." Song Ying was already a little unhappy with Zhang A'mei. If it weren't for Xiaojun and Shanshan, she wouldn't want to get involved.
As a result, just as Song Ying and Lin Wufeng left, Lin Dongzhe noticed Wu Shanshan lingering at the gate of the courtyard, but she didn't dare to come in.
"Hey, Sister Shanshan, you are here to look for Brother Tunan, come in quickly."
Wu Shanshan took the opportunity to back off: "Oh, yes, I came to borrow Zhuang Tunan's notebook."
"Wu Shanshan, do you want math notes or Chinese notes? I'll get them for you." Zhuang Tunan was a down-to-earth man and he really thought Wu Shanshan was here to borrow her notes.
"Oh, whatever...math." Wu Shanshan almost blurted out because she was too nervous.
"Okay, you wait."
After Zhuang Tunan left, Wu Shanshan stood in front of Qin Hao, twisting the corner of her clothes with her hands. Her white fingers looked a little white because of the force.
"Are you here about the bet that Uncle Wu made with me?" Qin Hao went straight to the point.
Wu Shanshan hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said nothing, not daring to look Qin Hao in the eye.
Qin Hao shook his head secretly. Wu Jianguo was a grown man, but he couldn't bring himself to do such a thing, so he asked Wu Shanshan to come and tell him about it. He was an extremely incompetent father. Growing up in such a family environment, it was no wonder that Wu Shanshan turned evil later.
"Go back and tell Uncle Wu that if he really wants to solve the problem, he should come over today after get off work. This is the only chance, and he won't be available again if you miss it."
Wu Shanshan was obviously stunned for a moment, her lips moved slightly, as if she was repeating Qin Hao's words. After making sure that she had remembered them clearly, she immediately turned around and ran out of the yard.
When Zhuang Tunan came out with the notebook, he found that Wu Shanshan was gone. He couldn't help scratching his head: "Where is Wu Shanshan? Doesn't she want the notebook?"
Lin Dongzhe sighed and said to Zhuang Tunan in a little adult tone: "Brother Tunan, Sister Shanshan is not interested in wine."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know the details. What Brother Hao said was probably that Sister Shanshan didn't come to borrow the notebook at all."
Zhuang Tunan was even more confused after hearing this: "If you are not here to borrow the notebook, then what are you here for?"
In the end, it was Zhuang Xiaoting who whispered in his ear, and Zhuang Tunan suddenly realized what was going on, which made Lin Dongzhe very proud.
"Okay, stop being so clever and quickly finish the questions I assigned to you. If you get one wrong, do ten more."
"Ah~~~"
Lin Dongzhe's painful expression made Zhuang Xiaoting laugh out loud. Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying heard the noise in the yard in the inner room but did not go out. Since Qin Hao came back, this naughty boy Lin Dongzhe has been completely subdued, and there is no need to worry that he will interfere with Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting's studies.
At around 2:20 in the afternoon, Song Ying returned to the courtyard after finishing her morning shift. She was dazed for a moment when she saw Lin Dongzhe sitting obediently at his desk doing his homework.
"Hey, what are you thinking about so intently? Are you thinking about Engineer Lin?" Huang Ling teased.
Song Ying pulled Huang Ling into the room and said, "Sister Ling, if Lin Dongzhe was Monkey King in his previous life, then Haozi must be Tathagata Buddha. Just now, when I entered the yard, I saw Lin Dongzhe doing his homework obediently. I didn't react at first until Haozi greeted me. Then I came to my senses. Haozi is back, and my good days are coming back!"
Huang Ling was happy. The period when Qin Hao went to participate in the Go Championship happened to be the summer vacation. Song Ying and Lin Wufeng both had to go to work. Lin Dongzhe was like a fish in water and lawless at home alone, which made Song Ying have to prepare herself mentally for a while when she came back every day.
Song Ying's roar could be heard almost every night, and from time to time Lin Dongzhe could be heard screaming in pain from being beaten. However, Lin Dongzhe simply remembered the food and not the beatings, and Song Ying and Lin Wufeng were reluctant to use force against him, which made Lin Dongzhe even more unscrupulous.
As the two were chatting, they heard Zhuang Xiaoting outside the door shouting, "Uncle Wu."
When Song Ying and Huang Ling went out, they found Wu Jianguo standing there awkwardly.
"Old Wu, is there something wrong?" Song Ying asked puzzledly.
Wu Jianguo became even more embarrassed and stood there hesitating. Fortunately, Qin Hao's words relieved him.
"Aunt Song, I invited Uncle Wu."
Huang Ling was about to leave when she saw this: "Then you guys chat, I still have some manual work to do."
"Aunt Huang, don't you want to make a compartment for Xiaoting?" Qin Hao didn't waste any words and turned to Wu Jianguo and said, "Uncle Wu, forget about the thirty-six legs. I can't use them for the time being. You can just help me get some old wood and windows."
Wu Jianguo was a little hesitant when he heard this: "How big is the compartment? How much wood is needed?"
"Uncle Wu, you are an old carpenter. How much wood can a small compartment use? If you don't want to, then you'd better make me thirty-six legs. I will move it home and keep it. I can still use it after a few years after I paint it with new paint." Qin Hao said unhappily. He was giving Wu Jianguo a way out, but this guy was still not satisfied.
Wu Jianguo was in a dilemma. He knew that the wood used for a small compartment was a drop in the bucket compared to the thirty-six legs, not to mention that it would take a huge amount of man-hours to make thirty-six legs.
He just had some doubts about whether Qin Hao won the championship. If Qin Hao didn't win the championship, then he wouldn't have to do the thirty-six kicks at all.
However, when Wu Jianguo saw Qin Hao's calm look, he felt a little guilty again.
"Okay then, I'll go get a ruler and measure the dimensions later so I can go find the wood."
After Wu Jianguo left, Huang Ling immediately said to Song Ying: "This favor is too great. I can't repay it."
In fact, Song Ying didn't react for a while, and it was at this time that Qin Hao spoke first.
"Aunt Huang, do you think Uncle Wu will keep his promise to give me a set of thirty-six kicks?"
Huang Ling remained silent. If Wu Jianguo was still single, he might have accepted it with a pinch of his nose. But Zhang A-mei was the type who could only take advantage and could not stand any loss. If Wu Jianguo really gave Qin Hao a set of thirty-six kicks, Zhang A-mei might have remarried with Xiao Min.
"So, this is great. Uncle Wu saves his face, we get a benefit, and Xiaojun and Wu Shanshan won't have to eat the rest." Qin Hao spread his hands.
Huang Ling wanted to say something, but Song Ying had already responded: "Sister Ling, I think Haozi is very thoughtful. This is good for everyone."
"No matter what, I still owe Haozi a favor. If you need your Aunt Huang in the future, don't hesitate to help." Huang Ling said to Qin Hao with gratitude on her face.
"We are all family, Aunt Huang, I won't be polite to you, and you don't have to be so polite to me in the future."
Huang Ling knew that the reason why Qin Hao was so nice to her was because of Song Ying. If there was a chance in the future, she would repay this favor to Song Ying.
Not long after, Wu Jianguo came with a ruler to measure the size of the partition. It was called a partition, but in fact it was just a partition built with wood above the bed in the inner room, which was considered to be an independent space. Apart from providing a little privacy, it had no other function. It was because Zhuang Xiaoting was old and needed privacy, and there was really no extra space in the house to squeeze out a room, so Huang Ling came up with this idea.
"Okay, I've got all the dimensions in mind. I'll prepare the wood and build it for you tomorrow afternoon."
Wu Jianguo patted his chest and said.
"Thank you so much, Old Wu."
Facing Huang Ling's thanks, Wu Jianguo was a little embarrassed: "You should choose Xie Haozi. I will listen to him too."
The next afternoon, Wu Jianguo brought in a pile of old wood and brought two apprentices with him. After working for more than an hour, they built the partition. They also specially built a ladder to facilitate going up and down. The work was done quite well.
After finishing the work, Wu Jianguo finally breathed a sigh of relief and dared to speak with his head held high. In the past two days, Wang Yong's wife had been making indirect accusations at work, causing him to walk with his head down.
Wu Jianguo helped with the work, and Huang Ling arranged a meal for them. Of course, Song Ying's family was also included, including Qin Hao.
During dinner time, the small courtyard was particularly lively, which made Wang Yong's wife from the next courtyard very angry. However, she did not dare to offend Song Ying. On the one hand, Song Ying's family was a notorious troublemaker and not easy to mess with. On the other hand, Song Ying's family had a TV. If their relationship became strained, how could they have the nerve to come over and watch TV?
"Haozi, tell Uncle Wu the truth, did you really win the championship?"
After a few drinks, Wu Jianguo asked Qin Hao drunkenly.
Qin Hao said playfully, "If Uncle Wu doesn't believe it, why would he agree to it?"
Lin Dongzhe on the side was not happy: "Brother Hao is the champion, the trophy is in my house."
"What trophy?"
Wu Jianguo's two little disciples asked curiously.
"The champion of the National Go Championship. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you."
After Lin Dongzhe finished speaking, he couldn't wait to get the trophy. Wu Jianguo and his two little disciples were dumbfounded. The two little disciples found it unbelievable that a kid in his teens could win the national championship. Wu Jianguo was glad that he would rather believe it than not, and spend money to avoid disaster. Otherwise, these 36 kicks would not only cost him half his life, but he might also lose his wife.
Just when everyone was halfway through their meal, Zhang A-mei suddenly came with Xiao Min.
"I'm afraid there won't be enough food for so many of you, so I'll add another dish for you."
Song Ying and Huang Ling looked at each other with disgust in their eyes, but they could only invite Zhang A-mei and Xiao Min to sit down and eat.
Although Zhang A-mei said no, she was very honest and pulled Xiao Min to sit down.
They happened to be sitting next to Qin Hao, and Zhang A-mei didn't forget to say to Xiao Min: "Xiao Min, learn more from Haozi in the future. He is a national champion. Maybe one day he can join the national team and participate in world competitions to win glory for the country."
Xiao Min nodded perfunctorily, then started the sweeping mode and ate with relish.
Huang Ling couldn't stand it, so she said to Wu Jianguo, "Old Wu, why don't you call Xiaojun and Shanshan to come eat together."
"No need, they've already eaten at home." Zhang A-mei said nonchalantly while eating.
Song Ying couldn't stand it anymore and said to Lin Dongzhe, "Go and ask your sister Shanshan and Xiaojun to come over for dinner."
"Ugh."
Lin Dongzhe responded crisply and trotted to Wu Jianguo's home, not caring what Zhang A-mei said at all. Lin Dongzhe had perfect execution ability in all matters other than studying.
Soon, Lin Dongzhe brought Wu Shanshan and Xiaojun over, but there were too many people in the courtyard and the table was too small, so they couldn't fit at all. Just when Wu Shanshan was at a loss, Qin Hao stood up.
"I'm full, Wu Shanshan, come and sit down."
After saying that, he winked at Lin Dongzhe, who was very good at observing people's expressions and immediately agreed: "I'm full too, Xiaojun, you can sit here with me."
"Thank you." Wu Shanshan whispered her gratitude as she passed by Qin Hao.
"You're welcome." Qin Hao replied indifferently and took Lin Dongzhe into the house.
After a while, Song Ying pulled Huang Ling into the house and said in a low voice with dissatisfaction.
"This picture of A-mei is too outrageous. She and Xiao-min are eating so much. Look how hungry Xiao-jun is. Such a young boy ate three big steamed buns in one go."
"There's nothing I can do about it. Xiao Min is her biological daughter."
Just as Song Ying and Huang Ling were sighing, Lin Dongzhe said something that made everyone silent.
"Then Hao Ge is not my biological son, why is mom so nice to him?"
Until Qin Hao rubbed Lin Dongzhe's head and said, "Because Aunt Song is the kindest person in the world."
Suddenly, Song Ying's eyes were filled with mist, but the corners of her mouth were raised very high. (End of this chapter)
