[Comprehensive Korean Drama] "Core" Life

Xin Ai came back from the outside with an easel on her back, and saw Cui Yingxiong sitting in the house watching TV, put away the painting utensils on her body, poured water, and asked, "Brother, you are alone at home. Bin went to the Go dojo again?"

Cui Yingxiong lazily took the remote control and flicked the channels, and said with a sullen expression: "Since Zhibin started learning chess from Gao Jiuduan, when did you see him at home at this time? He will never come back when the dojo is closed, he is extremely diligent, and the family can no longer lock him up, it's all because of you."

"Why did I provoke it?" Xin didn't like to hear this, and retorted: "If Cui Zhibin didn't have the will, it would be useless even if I broke the sky. I usually talk a lot with Cui Zhibin, and I haven't seen him yet." I’ve heard it. Besides, it’s a good thing that Cui Zhibin is willing to go out. The doctor also encouraged Zhibin to go out. As long as he is willing to go out, get in touch with the society and people, it will be of great benefit to his illness. If he becomes normal, It's good for him, it's good for us. What can you complain about?"

Since Cui Zhibin learned Go, he has to catch Xin Ai and play several games with him every day.Xin Ai was abused, but could not resist, and finally one day, Xin Ai came up with a trick and said to Cui Zhibin, "To improve his chess skills, he needs to play chess with different people, and it is best to play chess with masters. For a rookie like her to play chess, even if she wins [-] games, it’s useless.” Xin Ai didn’t think this trick would be successful, after all, Cui Zhibin has autism and doesn’t like contact with the outside world.

Unexpectedly, Cui Zhibin actually listened to Xin Ai's words, and pulled Cui Yingxiong to let him accompany him to the Go dojo to play chess.After Cui Yingxiong accompanied Cui Zhibin to several nearby Go dojos, Cui Zhibin finally chose one to stay there.Playing chess with others, the Go dojo has to charge game fees. Cui Zhibin doesn’t have that much money to support him to play chess with others without restriction. If a person plays chess with him and he wins, the other party will pay the game fee together with him.

At the beginning, Cui Zhibin played chess with others, losing more and winning less. Gradually, he won more and more times, which attracted the attention of professional chess player Gao Dongzhe, the owner of Kaishe, a Go dojo.Gao Dongzhe, the backbone of the Korean professional Go player in the 80s and [-]s, [-]th dan, ranked first in the world for six consecutive years, and the first Korean player to win the "Grand Slam" in the world Go game. Working behind the scenes, the energy is focused on supporting the backward, promoting the internationalization of Go and the development of Go in Korea.However, he did not completely give up on the study of Go, and continued to study Go every day, and accepted several disciples to guide them in Go.

The Go dojo opened by Gao Dongzhe is divided into two parts. The first part is the Go dojo for people to play chess, and the latter part is where he teaches his disciples.Because Gao Dongzhe's disciples often go to the Go dojo in front to play or give instructions, so the chess skills of those who come to this Go dojo are not low.After Cui Zhibin won several games in a row against the apprentice Gao Dongzhe taught, who was about to reach a certain level of chess, Cui Zhibin got Gao Dongzhe's attention.

It’s not a big deal for an amateur chess player to win a game against a professional chess player once in a while, but for Cui Zhibin to beat his opponent several times in a row, it shows that his chess strength is already superior to the opponent’s.Go is about inheritance, if you don't have a teacher, it's hard to learn it.Of course, it is not impossible, but a very small number of them, most of them are taught by teachers.Cui Zhibin has no teacher to teach, he is completely self-taught, and Gao Dongzhe noticed that Cui Zhibin's chess is very clean, and he has not been infected with such and such messy problems of other amateur chess players.

Because of Cui Zhibin's illness and his age, Gao Dongzhe, who was happy to see Lie Xin, hesitated again and again. After all, he did not accept Cui Zhibin as a disciple, but allowed Cui Zhibin to participate in the seminar that he prevented.If Cui Zhibin has any questions about Go, he can ask him, and he will give guidance.Gao Dongzhe is going to inspect Cui Zhibin for a while.

Therefore, although Cui Zhibin is not an official apprentice of Gao Dongzhe, he is similar to a "named disciple".Cui Zhibin doesn't care about the status of master and apprentice. He is happy that he finally has the opportunity to learn chess, so he spends almost all day in the Go dojo.Cui Yingxiong is not used to this.

Cui Yingxiong put his hands behind his head, fell on the floor, and sighed: "I'm not complaining, I'm just bored. Mom is busy with the store all day, you go learn to draw, Zhibin is bored at home all day The guy also started to run out, just me, doing nothing, it’s really boring, it’s so boring.” Before, he was busy all day in the village, looking forward to being free, but when he came to Chunchuan, he was really free, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Xin Ai sat down next to Cui Yingxiong, snatched the remote control in his hand, picked a show she liked to watch, gave Cui Yingxiong a sideways look, and said with a sneer: "Isn't it good to be idle? You really don't have a good life, Mom loves you, and thinks that the family earns enough money, and there is no need for you to make more money. She loves you, so she stops you and doesn't let you go to work. It's good that you don't appreciate it, but sigh here instead. I really owe you beat!"

After thinking about it, Xin Ai sincerely suggested: "But brother, if you really feel bored, you don't need to pay attention to your mother, go out and look for it, look slowly, and you will definitely find a job that suits you. Or you Just like me, learn something you are interested in. Anyway, now I have time and money, not to mention the skills are not overwhelming. It is always good to learn. Even if you can’t learn anything, it’s okay to use it to pass the time .”

After getting acquainted with Chunchuan, Cui Yingxiong also worked several jobs one after another, but he didn't do it for a long time.The reason is that compared with the job in the resort hotel, the subsequent work seems to be hard work, and the income is not much.In fact, the salary of being a caddy is not high, but the customers give a lot of tips, and sometimes the tip income is even several times the salary, so the total income is very objective.

Seeing that Cui Yingxiong didn't respond, Xin Ai said again: "Didn't you say that Han's resort hotel is a national chain? There are all cities in South Korea, and Chuncheon is no exception. Why don't you call your original supervisor, See if he can help and arrange you to work in a resort hotel here."

Cui Yingxiong shook his head and said: "Don't worry about it. At the beginning we were in a hurry and time was tight, so there was no time to resign in person. I resigned by phone, and I asked Junhe to help me with the follow-up matters. Because of this, my supervisor Very angry, I feel that I am disorganized and undisciplined, how can he help? Besides, although the hotels in various cities belong to the Han Group, they are only responsible to the head office, independent, and not under the control of each other. Even if he wants to help, there is nothing he can do. He can’t get in at Chunchuan’s side at all. What’s more, Chunchuan’s staff has already been arranged and there is no shortage of people. It’s just a caddy, but it’s just an insignificant position. It’s not that no one can be found.

Stretching his waist, Cui Yingxiong said: "We have not finished our studies now, and there are not many capable jobs. We want to relax and earn more. How can there be such a good thing? Mom is right, there is no shortage of jobs at home. With the little money I earn, I don’t have to work hard. As you said, since you have the time and money now, let’s learn something.”

Speaking of learning things, Cui Yingxiong couldn't help laughing at Xinai again. "Speaking of this, I don't want to learn from you. My ears hurt when I get on the sedan chair. You said that you are learning to draw now. When you learn it well, I guess your comic book should be finished. It's really worthless! Haha!" Smiling, he suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Isn't it that you still blame Han Taihua now? Tsk tsk, your mind is small enough, and you still hate him even now."

After moving to Chuncheon, Xin Ai obtained the consent of Shun Ren and began to learn painting.Through Cui Zhibin, Xinai showed Gao Dongzhe her comics. Sure enough, Gao Dongzhe saw the influence and introduced Xinai to the Korean Chess Academy, so as to help Xinai publish and promote her comics with the power of the Qiyuan.Because Xin Ai's drawing skills are not good enough, the current comics are still drawn according to Xin Ai's requirements.Cui Yingxiong thought that Xin Ai learned painting because he wanted to draw manga and not invite others, so as not to encounter a similar situation like Han Taihua, but he felt that Xin Ai was a bit late to learn now.

Xin Ai looked at Cui Yingxiong helplessly, and sighed, "Brother, is your brain full of paste, why don't you turn around. Who said it's too late to start learning painting now? It's not too late at all. , I can’t draw this book, so why can’t I draw the next one? As long as I learn it, I don’t need to hire someone to draw again. Besides, whoever said that I learned to draw is just to draw manga, so I’m not allowed to do anything else In this world, drawing manga is not the only profession that needs to be able to draw. And who is Han Tae-hwa? Do I know him?"

Cui Yingxiong was speechless after what he had said. He yelled sadly, shaking his hands like a stroke, pointing at Xin'ai, and vomiting blood: "Cui Xin'ai, you are cruel! You are amazing, I can't beat you! I admit defeat, okay?"

Seeing Cui Yingxiong make such a ghostly look, Xin Ai gave him a blank look and giggled.Cui Yingxiong and Xin Ai fought for a while, and finally they collapsed on the floor powerlessly.Cui Yingxiong looked at the ceiling and said quietly: "Xin Ai, do you think Zhibin will become a professional chess player?"

"I don't know." Xin Ai turned her head to look at Cui Yingxiong in surprise: "Hey, why did you think of asking this?" Isn't it very good now, as long as Cui Zhibin is willing to go out, the doctor said he is very likely will return to normal.When Cui Zhibin returns to normal, what does it matter if he is a professional chess player?

Cui Yingxiong sighed and said: "Although the doctor said that Cui Zhibin is improving, who knows when he will return to normal? Although our family's conditions have improved now, we still cannot afford Cui Zhibin to go to a special school. No education, no education. Diploma, no skills, just like Cui Zhibin, when he grows up in the future, what will he live on? Do we want us to support him for the rest of his life?"

After a pause, Cui Yingxiong continued: "What's more, we all know about Cui Zhibin's illness. Even if he returns to normal, he is still a little short of a normal person, and he is different from us. Since Cui Zhibin and Gao Jiuduan learned Go, I have learned a little bit about it. Regarding the situation of professional chess players, they don’t have any requirements for academic qualifications, they only need to play chess well, and the circle of Go is relatively narrow, and they don’t need to play too much with others. I think it’s quite suitable for him. Gao Jiuduan said Cui Zhibin He is talented in Go, so I thought that if Cui Zhibin takes the professional exam and becomes a professional chess player, I don’t have high requirements, as long as he can support himself, he can support himself.”

Xin Ai was silent for a while, before saying: "Those are too far away at present. Even if you plan to make Cui Zhibin a professional chess player, you have to wait until his situation gets better and there is no big communication barrier. Although The circle of Go players is narrow, and they pay attention to using chess to speak. They don’t need too much communication, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need to talk. Wait a little longer, and when his illness is better, his chess skills are higher, and his confidence in passing is greater, then he will go again. It's not too late to let him take the exam."

Cui Yingxiong didn't speak, and didn't comment on Xin Ai's words.But in the days that followed, he enrolled in a Taekwondo class and an English tutoring class, and filled his spare time. At the same time, he also did some work such as distributing leaflets, delivering posters, and doing surveys. Regular temporary work for a little money.

Although the family conditions have improved, Shun Ren began to give pocket money to several children for the first time, but the amount was not much. Cui Yingxiong and Xin Ai handed over all the money to Cui Zhibin and asked him to save it to buy Go-related books. .When Xin Ai went to the Korean Chess Academy to draw comics, under the guise of looking up information, she went to the reference room to copy chess records in her free time, and brought them back to Cui Zhibin.When Cui Yingxiong has time, he will go with Xin Ai and copy together. The two try their best to create conditions for Cui Zhibin in playing Go.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Cui Yingxiong graduated from junior high school.Cui Yingxiong is discussing with Shunren where to go on a graduation trip.Xin Ai and Cui Zhibin walked in together from the outside.Seeing Cui Zhibin's happy face, Cui Yingxiong asked with a smile: "Why, Zhibin, you are so happy today, did you win chess again?" Although Cui Zhibin has not yet become a professional chess player, but now his chess skills have already reached a professional level If it wasn't for his illness, they would have let him take the vocational exam.

Cui Zhibin pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't speak.Xin Ai rushed to say: "Brother, what you said is really meaningless. It's normal for Zhibin to win chess. There's nothing to be happy about. It's strange to lose chess. But today, Zhibin really has a big happy event to announce."

"Senior called me today and said he would formally accept me as an apprentice." Cui Zhibin smiled happily.Don't look at him running to the Go dojo every day, because he is not Gao Dongzhe's official apprentice, so he can only ask Gao Dongzhe questions and accept the other party's guidance during the half-monthly research meeting during the discussion.

After Cui Zhibin became a teacher of Gao Dongzhe, he was able to study with him every day, and he was able to play against the opponent.If Choi Ji-bin enters the world of Go, having such a teacher around will be of great benefit to the Korean tradition that likes to rank seniority.

Shun Ren said happily: "Since you are a teacher, Zhibin, it is not appropriate for you to call 'senior' again, so quickly change the address. By the way, is the date of apprenticeship set? What do we need to prepare here? The tuition fee is How many?"

Because of the good business, Xinai developed new varieties such as sauced meat and jar meat, and the business of Shun Ren's small shop became more and more prosperous.Because Shun Ren also had to supply stewed vegetables at roadside stalls, a waiter was hired to look after the shop. She was freed to specialize in product processing, so Shun Ren no longer needed to be busy all day, but had free time.

The business is booming, so he earns more. Now Shun Ren has money in his hands, and he doesn't hold back Cui Zhibin as much as before. Although he is still reluctant to send him to a special school, but Cui Zhibin has the money to learn Go from a teacher. Still willing to spend.

Cui Zhibin slowly jumped out word by word: "The teacher said that there will be no tuition fees. Next Tuesday will be the day of formal apprenticeship. The teacher invited his colleagues from the chess academy to watch the ceremony."

"Next Tuesday?" Shun Ren ran to the calendar hanging on the wall, glanced at it, and wailed, "It's only a few days away. Zhibin apprentice, as your family, we must be there, But if we want to attend, we should wear our country’s traditional costumes, Hanbok, which is not only polite, but also solemn. But there is no time to make a new Hanbok in these few days. I can’t wear it anymore! What can I do? What should I do!” Shun Ren spun around the room anxiously.

Xin Ai thought for a while and said: "Mom, don't worry. My aunt's cousin specially made a new Hanbok to attend her grandma's birthday. You are about the same size as your cousin. Borrow it to wear it, and then pay for it and make another one for my cousin. Anyway, her grandma’s birthday is next month, and it’s not as urgent as ours, so we can make another one in time.”

Even though it was the first time for the family to visit the aunt, it was not very pleasant.But Shun Ren felt that it was better to have such a relative than not at all, so he visited him a few times after that.Originally, Park Si-eun's wife, Li Jiayuan, was worried about helping Shun Ren's family from time to time, so she was so indifferent to them.But later she found that Shun Ren's family lived well, and she didn't need his help, and she was willing to have another relative, so the two families moved around again.

After school started, the two families discovered that their son, Park Yongguo, and Shunren's daughter, Xin Ai, were still in the same class, so their relationship became closer.Afterwards, Cui Yingxiong and Xin Ai were also taken by Shun Ren to visit Pu's house many times, or went to play alone, so they are not unfamiliar at all.Therefore, Xinai gave this suggestion.

With Xin Ai's reminder, Shun Ren suddenly realized, and hurriedly called Li Jiayuan to borrow clothes.Even though Gao Dongzhe accepts Cui Zhibin as his apprentice without tuition fees, Shun Ren has to say so, so under the advice of Li Jiayuan, he prepared a lot of gifts and planned to give them to Gao Dongzhe on the day Cui Zhibin apprenticed.

In Shun Ren's words, this is their family's affection for Gao Dongzhe, and it is courtesy.Looking at the expensive gifts, Xin Ai knew that this was not for Gao Dongzhe, but Shun Ren's for Cui Zhibin. She didn't want Cui Zhibin to be laughed at because of his empty-handed apprenticeship, which would embarrass him.

Although Shun Ren never mentioned what happened in the school, it seems that Shun Ren helped the child get back the place, but it's hard to say who wins and who loses!That incident left a deep impression on Shun Ren, and made her remember this "lesson". Since then, she has tried her best to avoid letting her children fall into that situation again.

Thinking of the "turmoil" in the school mentioned in the welcome letter, the school leaders were replaced, and a large number of teachers were transferred away.Xinai felt relieved.It's just that she didn't expect Pei Renxiu's father to be so ruthless. According to Xin Ai's intention, it was enough to mail the photos to the Municipal Education Department, but he actually sent them to the National Education Department.

But the advantage of being ruthless and ruthless is that because of his move, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China has severely cracked down on school ethos across the country. Once school leaders and teachers accept gifts and red envelopes from students' parents, once they are reported, they will take severe punishment measures if they are found to be true.The atmosphere of the school has changed a lot, even though she was in Chunchuan, she also benefited accordingly.
