465 Can't afford to lose
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Su Taotao's family formally paid New Year's greetings to the two elders of the Hu family and had a New Year's dinner at their home.
On the third day of the Chinese New Year, Fu Zhengtu took Su Taotao and Chenchen, and brought special products to visit his former mentor, who is now his superior.
When the mentor met Fu Zhengtu, he was very excited, but he didn't say anything. He just patted his shoulder hard and told him to do a good job.
The two twin grandsons of the mentor's family are a little older than Chenchen. They are just in junior high school this year and like to play with their younger brother.
Chenchen is not afraid of strangers now and can play with them.
The twins thought their younger brother was younger at first, so they gave in to him a little in all games.
As a result, the more he played, the more he felt something was wrong. He found that no matter what game he played, even if he tried his best, he still couldn't beat his brother.
"Chenchen, tell me, are you really only seven years old? Did you lie about your age? You are actually seventeen, not seven? You are just short?"
Chenchen puffed up his cheeks and glared at him: "...You are short, I am the tallest and strongest among my peers!"
Yesterday, he was accused of taking ripening and enlargement drugs, how come today he is accused of lying about his age?
The elder brother was not convinced. If he couldn't beat his younger brother in games, he would play chess!
The result is predictable.
No matter whether it was chess, flying chess, go, checkers, or gobang... As long as it was a game of chess, the two brothers would lose miserably. Even if they played together, they would still lose miserably and not win a single game!
The twins were about to cry!
The old man's attention was still on Su Taotao and Fu Zhengtu at the beginning, but later on, he couldn't help but look at Chenchen frequently.
The twins still refused to admit defeat and decided to take out their textbooks to test Chenchen. After all, they were always in the top three in their grade, so
they couldn't lose in studying, right? As a result, they only wanted to cry when playing games and chess, but when it came to studying, they really cried!
From multiplication tables to poetry, from arithmetic to equations, from painting to writing, and even English...
without exception, they all lost miserably!
The children who had never suffered any setbacks, had a good family background, looked good, were well-educated, and studied well, and had been raised by everyone since childhood, suffered the biggest blow in the past twelve or thirteen years. They lowered their heads, sobbed with their shoulders moving, and cried like a helpless child of two or three years old.
They were obviously much older than Chenchen, but they couldn't play games, play chess, or even study. Are they really that useless? Were
their previous honors all tricked on them by others?
Su Taotao was somewhat embarrassed. It seemed that nothing she said was right at this time. Should she scold Chenchen for showing mercy and letting his big brother go?
It didn't seem right, right? Isn't this just poking at someone's heart?
You said my son has been invincible in the base since he was young, so you didn't deserve to lose?
It also seems like showing off.
I went to my superior's house on the second day of the Chinese New Year to pay New Year's greetings, but ended up "beating" his two grandsons to tears. I really don't know how this will end.
Unexpectedly, the old man laughed out loud: "Well done, Chenchen! Zhengtu, your son is better than you, you taught him so well." His
two grandsons are already outstanding, and Fu Zhengtu's son can be said to be a genius that is rarely seen in a century.
The old man pulled his two grandsons to his side and said, "You guys, you've always thought you were special because you're smart, right? Now you know that there are always people who are better than you, right?"
His two grandsons seemed to have no flaws, they were calm, humble and polite.
However, having no flaws was actually their biggest flaw. They were arrogant because they were well-educated. They always ranked first and praised everyone who saw them. Even if they were very happy and thought "you guys are not as good as me", they would still pretend to be humble. Over
time, they could no longer tell what was true humility and what was false humility.
Once such people were frustrated when they grew up, it would be fatal.
Chenchen's appearance was just right, letting them see what it meant to be outsiders.
It was easier to correct a blow when you were young, but it would be more difficult to correct it after your personality was set.
Chenchen was a little overwhelmed. He knew he was powerful, except for peers like Pangpang, for
whom he was used to "showing mercy". But he had won many games against Uncle Xiao, Uncle Mumu, and Uncle Kangzi since he was a child. When fighting against older children, he usually did what he wanted without thinking too much. But
who would have thought that they would really cry? Uncle Mumu and Uncle Kangzi lost, and at most they howled a few times, and they would not cry even if they were tickled.
"Don't cry, I'll let you win next time, okay? My little uncle and Uncle Mumu are older than you, and they often lose to me!"
So it's normal for you to lose to me? The smart Chenchen didn't say the latter sentence to his face.
It would have been better if Chenchen didn't say anything. After he said this, the two brothers no longer cared about face or reserve, and just burst into tears!
Chenchen was scared and didn't know what to do.
"Chenchen, come here." The old man smiled and waved at Chenchen.
Chenchen looked at his parents, then at the old man, and when his father gestured, he walked towards the old man.
It's New Year's Day, and it's really not a good look to cry like this. Chenchen bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I shouldn't have won over my brothers."
The old man sighed and touched the child's head: "Chenchen, you are right, no need to apologize, they can't afford to lose, they are the ones who should apologize."
The old man asked the twins in a gentle tone: "Have you two stopped crying?"
The two brothers sobbed: "Grandpa, uh, Grandpa, cry, cry enough..." They
cried so hard on New Year's Day that they could even speak through their little hiccups.
The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's the big deal? Just because you haven't lost before doesn't mean you won't lose now or in the future. Isn't it normal to win and lose when playing games? Is it worth you crying like this? Chenchen must be scared. He won't dare to play with you next time."
The twin brothers have lost before, but this is the first time they have been crushed like this.
Chenchen pursed his lips. He really won't dare to play with them next time.
The two brothers are good kids after all. The elder brother said: "Chen, uh, Chenchen, I'm sorry. I, uh, we're not, not going after you. We're just, just..."
Just as the grandfather said, they couldn't afford to lose and felt ashamed of themselves.
Chenchen shook his head: "It doesn't matter. If I meet someone younger than me who beats me, I might cry too."
Chenchen loses to his father most of the time, and occasionally loses to his uncle. He accepts it calmly and learns from experience to beat them next time.
He still can't beat his father in playing Rubik's Cube, but he didn't cry.
But there is no one younger than him who can beat him yet, so Chenchen doesn't know if he will cry.
In fact, even if Chenchen loses to someone younger than himself, he won't cry. He will only think of ways to beat him next time and keep fighting.
This is the importance of Fu Zhengtu's IQ and blood suppression. He is the one who keeps Chenchen in a fighting state, and the reason why Chenchen has not been arrogant or crazy so far.
Chenchen is strong in all aspects, from technology to psychology.
The two brothers: "…………" The tears that were held back with great difficulty were about to flow out again.
After leaving the tutor's house, Chenchen, holding his mother's hand, was still a little distressed.
Although he shook hands with his brothers and sisters in the end, he was still a little distressed.
"Chenchen is still thinking about what happened just now?" Su Taotao asked.
Chenchen nodded: "Mom, can I never have fun in the future?"
If the opponent cries when he loses, then he really doesn't know what to do.
Su Taotao shook her head: "Didn't Grandpa just say that? What does it have to do with you if others can't afford to lose? Chenchen doesn't need to take the blame on himself, just follow his own heart."
It's unreasonable to let a child of a few years old to accommodate an older child.
"But Chenchen can first explain the rules to the opponent in the future. Since you are on the field, you will take responsibility for winning or losing. Enjoying the process is more important than the result. You can afford to win, but you also have to be able to lose." Chenchen
thought about it and nodded: "Okay, mom, I get it. Winning or losing is not important. Enjoying the process is more important. Going all out is also a kind of respect for the opponent."
Su Taotao and Fu Zhengtu looked at each other and saw the relief in each other's eyes.
The family of three held hands. Su Taotao said:
"Chenchen has always been great, but never arrogant. Mom and Dad are proud of you."
Chenchen smiled shyly: "Because my mom and dad are also great."
