Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 36: Go

Cen Huai'an didn't know where his mother was taking him, but he knew that he couldn't sell things with Brother Bang today.

He counted the money in his mind; National Day is the most crowded, he can earn more money than usual, and he realized that he was missing out.

Thinking about this, Cen Huai'an was so heartbroken that he could not wait to insert wings and fly to Brother Bang's place.

In the 1980s, there weren't specialized interest classes everywhere, like in the future, but there were places aimed at cultivating the interests of young people—the Youth Palace.

This is where Chu Xia brought Cen Huai'an.

The Youth Palace offered a wide variety of courses, and it is still a place with a public welfare nature. In addition to cultivating hobbies and interests, there are a lot of facilities to have fun and visit activities related to science, the arts, sports, and more. Parents love to bring their children here to play.

Upon entering the Youth Palace, one could sense the lively atmosphere, with many children playing in the courtyard.

But that's not what Chu Xia is there for; she takes Cen Huai'an and wanders up from the ground floor. In each classroom, there are dozens of students learning things.

There were music learners, dance learners, drawing learners, and students watching the teacher do a little physics and chemistry experiment.

It was as if Cen Huai'an had suddenly opened the door to a new world, so this was what his mother had been talking about; this was something he had never been exposed to before, and the light of exploration was regathering in his eyes.

Cen Huai'an was a bit hesitant to go in to see the science experiments, and before he could think about it, his mother took him to the next classroom, where he saw two people with black and white disc pieces playing a game he didn't know how to play.

Although he had never learned it before, Cen Huai'an was instantly fascinated, as if he could understand it, and lay down on the classroom window and watched in fascination.

When Chu Xia wanted to take him for another stroll, Cen Huai'an immediately pointed to the two people playing a game inside and said, "Mom, I like this one!" He's afraid that if his mom takes him away, he'll never be able to watch such a game like this again.

"This is Go, little friend; do you like it?"

"Like it." When Cen Huai'an finished speaking, he didn't even realize that it wasn't Chu Xia who asked this question, but a middle-aged man who appeared here at an unknown time.

The man wanted to say something, but Chu Xia put a finger to her lips, signaling him not to disturb Cen Huai'an and letting him focus on watching.

That game of Go was played for half an hour; Cen Huai'an and Chu Xia watched from outside for an hour, and the man remained there the entire time, gazing lovingly at the children playing.

The two children playing Go walked out; a seven- or eight-year-old girl saw the man; her eyes revealed a happy smile; she ran all the way over and hugged the man's waist: "Little uncle."

Another boy close to ten years old walked over, smiled, and shouted "Hello, Teacher," with the same tone of moistening intimacy.

The man stroked the two children's heads and turned to Cen Huai'an, who was looking at him curiously. "Little friend, I'm the one who taught the two of them Go, do you want to play a game with me?"

Cen Huai'an doesn't have the usual shyness and withdrawal that children have when they meet strangers; he looks up at Chu Xia and asks for her opinion.

Finding that his mother's gaze was one of soft encouragement, with no intention of stopping him, he asked the man earnestly in a childish voice, "I don't know how to play Go; can we play Five in a Row?"
