"Dad, you know the Dublin Literary Prize, right?"

"What Berlin? I think I've heard of it. It's from Germany?"

Young Joo resisted the urge to roll her eyes, not knowing what she was expecting.

If those who usually work in the five-day market can understand the origin of the name of the literary award, it is indeed inconsistent with their daily life.

"It's about the talented young writer who won an international award, which was all over the news last month," Young-joo explained.

"Oh, the pride of the Republic of Korea, 16 years old, freshman in high school, pretty impressive, what does this have to do with us?" Hao Xi looked puzzled.

"The boy who came with his grandparents and the family who came to our place for vacation two weeks ago is Lin Guyu, who won the Dublin Literature Award!" Yingzhu said with certainty.

"Him?!" Haoxi recalled and looked shocked.

Although they never spoke, he was selling ice cream at the market, and he often saw his grandmother Yin Taishu taking Gu Yu to the market to buy vegetables.

I didn't expect such a famous person to be so close to an ordinary person like him.

"He is handsome, has good grades, and his family is rich. He has achieved so much at such a young age. He is really a winner in life."

Hao Xi shook his head and sighed. He still didn't understand the purpose of his daughter's words.

"This is my chance. No one here recognizes his identity, and he will spend most of the winter vacation in Jeju Island.

As long as I can get along well with him, I can ask him to write a recommendation letter for me.

As long as I perform well in the high school entrance exam and get an ideal score, key high schools in Seoul will definitely be willing to admit me and even give me a scholarship! "

Young Joo's eyes were bright and energetic, as if she had achieved her goal.

Father Haoxi recovered from his surprise. After listening to his daughter's words, he frowned and thought.

Although Hao Xi acknowledged his daughter's excellence, he also believed that Yingzhu would have a bright future and live a life different from his own.

But after so many years of hard work at the lower levels, he realized that this matter was not as simple as Young Joo said.

Also, can a letter of recommendation really have such a big effect? ​​Lin Guyu is a world-renowned writer, not a member of Congress. Will the key high schools in Seoul buy into his letter?

"Young Joo, I understand what you mean. A recommendation letter is easy for that writer, but why does he have to help us?

There must be a lot of people who know him and want to get close to him. Will he help them all?

For these people, we are not in the same circle as them."

Haoxi sighed, organized his words, and tried to express his disapproval of his daughter's idea as tactfully as possible.

"Of course he can distinguish and won't help everyone. Moreover, he also has to decide how much effort it takes to help.

I didn't say that I would succeed, but for me, even if I failed after trying, I wouldn't lose anything. I would just continue to study in high school in Jeju Island for another three years.

But if I succeed, Dad, I can go to Seoul to study in advance and get better educational resources. In three years, I may be able to get into SKY, one of the three best universities in South Korea."

When Haoxi heard the names of SKY, Seoul, Korea, and Yonsei universities, his eyes couldn't help but fly upwards, and he couldn't help but fantasize.

If Young-joo could get into these colleges, it would be a real honor for the family.

Then he would have to wander around the five-day market every day,

"It's a nice day today,"

“Yes, it’s Seoul National University.”

"Have you eaten?"

"My child worked hard on his own and I didn't put much effort into it. I don't know how he got into Seoul National University."

"Boss, give me ten pounds of ice cubes,"

"Haha, I don't know if I can make a lot of money in the future. Getting into Seoul National University doesn't mean I will have a bright future. I'm very open-minded about this."

When Haoxi thought of this, the corners of his mouth cracked wider and wider, and his smile became more and more exaggerated.

"dad!"

"Ah? Oh, hey, Young Joo, Dad is happy just to hear you say that.

If you really get into Seoul University, our family will be so proud!"

Haoxi came back to his senses and said excitedly, completely forgetting that he was trying to persuade his daughter to calm down.

"If I can get Lin Guyu to write a letter of recommendation for me, then all this will become a dream.

So, Dad, if I succeed, I will go to Seoul to study in high school. You will support me, right?" Young Joo asked seriously.

"Of course! I will definitely support my baby daughter! Don't worry, if this money is not enough, Dad can earn more!

If it doesn't work, there's no loss. Just do it as you want! What else do you need Dad to do for you?"

Haoxi patted his chest and showed his sense of responsibility as a father and a man.

"Confidentiality,"

"?" Hao Xi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

"Don't tell anyone about Lin Guyu's identity. He came to Jeju Island to avoid the attention of the media and the public.

If his identity is exposed, regardless of whether I will have more competitors, he will definitely leave here."

The corner of Yingzhu's mouth twitched, but she still patiently explained,

The reason why there are no secrets in this place is that both men and women are big mouths.

"Don't worry! Your dad is the most tight-lipped person! He won't tell anyone!"

Haoxi nodded heavily to show that he understood, and he couldn't help but think of the family downstairs.

That’s right, we must not let anyone else know about this, especially Yin Quan!

My daughter always gets the top score in the school, but his son Ah Xian just had a few good performances and surpassed Yingzhu by luck, but they still promote Ah Xian as the top scorer every day.

Oh, when Young-joo goes to a key high school in Seoul and is admitted to Seoul University, I’ll see if he still has the nerve to brag!

"By the way, during the winter vacation, I will go to help Aunt Enxi process the fish in the afternoon."

Young Joo ignored the silly smile on her father's face and quietly ate her Korean beef bibimbap.

"Oh? My Young Joo has grown up and knows how to help the elders. Aunt Eun Hee has taken good care of our family. She watched you grow up. It's time for you to help.

Just be careful not to delay your studies. After all, you are in the third year of junior high school now. Whether you can go to Seoul or not, you must maintain your grades and suppress that Ah Xian downstairs!"

Hao Xi showed a gratified expression, put a piece of hairtail into Yingzhu's bowl, and picked up some kelp for himself, eating with relish along with the bibimbap.

The whole person was still immersed in his own world. When he thought of something exciting, he laughed out loud and clapped his hands. It was so lively.

Yingzhu couldn't help rolling her eyes after all. She couldn't stand this environment anymore and went back to her room after dinner.

Sitting at the desk, I continued to read the "Missing Children Files".

On the bookshelf next to it are other works by Gu Yu, such as "Museum of Tricks", "Memorandum about That Person", and "The Last Narrator".

It can be seen that Young Joo wants to completely immerse herself in the role of a fan.

Including proposing to go to Aunt Eun Hee to help, it was also to find an opportunity to get close to Gu Yu's grandmother Yin Taishu and Gu Yu,

Such painstaking efforts can only mean that girls mature early and start planning for their lives at this age.

Gu Yu is once again favored by a beautiful girl. His love star is moving, but he doesn't know whether it is a peach blossom disaster or a peach blossom luck.
