Chapter 84: Last Contact
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Coach Chen came to the table tennis training venue on time.
Next week is the "Tax Cup" sports meeting, which is the first sports meeting after the tax reform, and everyone is taking it seriously and preparing to play well.
Coach Chen also wants to train everyone to the best condition.
Guan Yalian and Sister Mei fought five games in a row, and finally defeated Sister Mei by a narrow margin.
followed by mixed doubles, Sister Mei and Zhao Dong played against Guan Yalian and Lao Liu, the battle was fierce, Guan Yalian and Lao Liu have been working together for a longer time recently, winning three games in a row.
The fight was intense, and Yunxiao next to him took his mobile phone and read:
"@ζζδΊΊ, important urgent notice!
Units:
The city's tax system 'Tax Cup' table tennis and badminton tournament, which was originally scheduled to be held next week, has been postponed due to work reasons.
The specific time will be notified separately. All units are requested to promptly notify the implementation and inform each other.
The team leaders of each unit received a reply. β
Several people in the fourth game of the duel immediately stopped, and Coach Chen asked, "What?
Yunxiao said: "It's just delayed, the message sent by Meizi to the group shouldn't be wrong." β
Meizi and Phoenix are busy with work and haven't come to train yet, after all, they are middle-level leaders, and there are more things to do.
Coach Chen began to pack up his things, "In this case, you can't tell if the game is not a game, right?"
Yunxiao said: "When we were the original IRS, there was also a time when the Lotus Spoon City Bureau held a sports meeting, and there was no competition in the end. β
Sister Mei also said: "It's once, this time it won't be and can't be compared, right?"
Coach Chen picked up his sports bag and said to everyone: "Then I'll go first, I haven't walked and shopping with my wife for a long time, and people have big opinions." β
"You practice, I'll go first!" Yunxiao also stood up with a racket.
Lao Deng said: "The city bureau is making a lot of trouble, everyone is ready, and the training is boring." β
Guan Yalian said: "I don't know if there is a game, everyone must be bored." β
Sister Mei said: "Finish this game first, so that you won't stop practicing immediately." β
After Guan Yalian went upstairs, she found that there was always something strange in the house, there was a very delicate thing on the ground, Guan Yalian picked it up, and after looking at it for a long time, she didn't see what it was.
Suddenly looked up, I always felt that something was missing on the window, and then I looked closely, on the head of the bed, the curtains and the pole hanging the curtains all fell down, and the delicate small objects in Guan Yalian's hands turned out to be decorations at both ends of the curtain rod.
The metal rod on the window behind the curtain was hung with screws fixed at both ends.
The window was bare in front of her, and Guan Yalian was glad that she didn't fall off when she was sleeping in bed, otherwise she would have been really frightened.
Meizi came, called and said, "Yalian, take your racket off for me! β
"Okay!"
Guan Yalian was wearing pajamas, knocked on the window, and handed her racket in.
Guan Yalian never thought that this would be her last contact with this racket.
"I was in my pajamas and I didn't go in. β
Meizi took Guan Yalian's racket and entered the training ground with a smile.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Guan Yalian received a call from Meizi, "Yalian, I'm going back, your racket Wanqiang is using, what should I do?"
"Use it, just use it, and put it down when you're done. Guan Yalian said, Wan Qiang doesn't have a racket, just use it, he will be wearing pajamas, and he is in a hurry to code, so he has no time to go down and watch.
At ten o'clock, everyone outside was laughing and laughing, and Guan Yalian only thought about going down to get the racket tomorrow morning, so she continued to code.
The next day was Saturday, the faucet was broken, and the sluice gate was turned off by the old man who was the porter.
Because Guan Yalian didn't like to turn on the air conditioner, it was hot and stuffy last night, and her body was sticky and uncomfortable.
Guan Yalian found it out, prepared to go for a good swim, and got everything ready.
When I was about to go, I remembered that my table tennis racket was still below, so I hurried to the table tennis room, and only the racket cover was placed alone on a chair.
A bad premonition hits my heart, could it be that the racket has been taken away?
Guan Yalian carefully looked at all the windowsills, cabinets, and tables, no, Guan Yalian took the deflated racket set and returned to the dormitory in disappointment.
Although this racket is not very expensive, it is an old object that has accompanied me for 20 years, and at that time, the original local tax bureau held its first sports meeting, and the bureau glued a racket to every table tennis player.
Guan Yalian felt that the sticky racket in the game was a bit heavy for her, so she spent 200 yuan to stick a racket, which was very easy to use.
200 yuan in 1999 should be about the same, this racket has accompanied Guan Yalian to play many games, Guan Yalian is a nostalgic person, and cherishes the old objects that have been with her for 20 years.
Who thought that it would disappear like that, only colleagues from their own unit played downstairs, Guan Yalian asked in the WeChat group, no one responded to see Guan Yalian's racket, Guan Yalian was finally disappointed.
This matter can only be stopped here, the performance is too reluctant, Meizi will blame himself, Wan Qiang will be embarrassed, there seems to be a racket in the basement, it is the kind of quality that is very inferior, and when the time of the sports meeting is set, then ask Coach Chen's friend to stick it, that is, a matter of dozens of yuan.
Guan Yalian felt distressed for a while, and then let go, I don't know how many people and objects, there will always be a day to leave, things have happened, only accept reality.
Guan Yalian picked up her swimsuit and bathing things, walked downstairs, and the wife of the old man in the concierge asked, "Get out!"
Guan Yalian smiled and nodded.
"You live upstairs alone, and I don't see you cycling, and you usually walk?"
"It's not far away, it's time for exercise. β
"Why haven't I seen your baby coming?"
"My daughters are all working in Chang'an. β
"Then your baby is too old!"
Old ladies are generally like this, with a strong sense of curiosity, Guan Yalian believes that if she hadn't been walking out without stopping, the old lady would definitely ask endlessly.
Guan Yalian walked out of the yard and came out into the street, thinking about one thing, whether to go to the basement to get a swimming cap, this pool seems to require a swimming cap.
If you take a swimming cap, you will have to walk twice as long and you can save ten yuan.
In the end, Guan Yalian still decided, but she just walked more, and she had the right to exercise.
When I walked to the swimming pool, the foundation was being dug and the house was being built by the pool, and the gate was changed from west to east, and Guan Yalian walked for an hour and a half to arrive.
After buying a large bottle of honey tea in the supermarket next to her, Guan Yalian dragged her tired steps into the front desk of the swimming pool.
The pool staff took the swim ticket and said, "When did you get your swim ticket?"
"I don't think you guys have a time limit!"
"There is no stamp on this ticket, and it can only be used if it is stamped. β
"If you can't use it, forget it, I'll give him the ticket back. β
Guan Yalian picked up the ticket and walked out, this swimming pool is too irresponsible, this ticket must have been given by their swimming pool, why can't it be used?
Guan Yalian suddenly expressed doubts about the six swimming tickets she took out, and she didn't know if the tickets issued by the event were still valid.
The six swimming tickets will not be used in July and August, and they will only be tried in September, and when Guan Yalian came out of the pool, her legs were as heavy as lead.
After walking too far, Guan Yalian couldn't walk anymore.
took out her mobile phone and called Guan Yaping, "Hey, where is it?"
"I'm in the Courtyard!"
"If you're not busy, come and pick me up. β
"Where are you?"
"At this intersection of the swimming pool west 3rd ring road. β
"I haven't been to the pool, I don't know where?"
"It's at the intersection of the first little point further south of the square. β
"Is it the parking lot on the Third Ring Road a little further north?"
"Yes, go north, I'm on the west side of the road. β
Hung up the phone, Guan Yalian just came to the intersection, a hundred meters to the north, a white car slammed into an electric motorcycle, the front bumper of the car was knocked off, a loud sound, followed by a child's sad cry.
Guan Yalian hurriedly walked to the place where the incident occurred, wanting to see if the child was okay.
A few people quickly ran out of the nearby commercial port, ran forward with arrows, and pulled the woman on the motorcycle out from under the motorcycle, and the woman didn't care about her pain, pulled the little boy who fell to the ground and hurriedly hugged her in her arms.
There are really a lot of enthusiastic people, some people put the motorcycle up and put it on the side of the road, and the car driver is also a woman in her twenties, picking up the bag on the ground for the woman, and anxiously watching the two sitting on the curb of the road.
The little boy's cry gradually became smaller, Guan Yalian hadn't come to the front yet, and she couldn't help even if she came to her.
Guan Yalian still sighed that in recent years, the quality of the people has improved rapidly, and when they encounter difficulties, they have walked a little slower, and they can't grab help.
The female driver of the car was concerned about where the child fell, and called the police at the same time, this spirit of responsibility should also be commended.
Guan Yalian retreated to the intersection, her legs were so sleepy that it was very difficult to squat down.
Originally, Guan Yalian was a little overwhelmed by the recent high-intensity training, and she walked a lot of roads, which would be very sleepy.
Guan Yaping arrived in a while, Guan Yalian got in the car, and Guan Yaping shuttled on the path.
Because she wants to walk the streets and alleys to sell snacks, Guan Yaping has been getting familiar with the smaller streets and alleys recently, so she will be familiar with each street first, and then she will have the bottom of her heart.
Guan Yalian shouted, "How did you get here?"
Guan Yaping suddenly woke up and quickly turned around and left.
This street is the street where Li Xinlin and Guan Yalian once built a faΓ§ade house and a single courtyard, and Guan Yalian didn't want Li Xinlin to see herself and Guan Yaping riding a half-used electric car.
No matter what Li Xinlin thought, Guan Yalian didn't want to see Li Xinlin at a glance.
One of the things that made Guan Yalian very angry, after divorcing Li Xinlin, Guan Yalian lived in the dormitory of the unit, and before the Spring Festival, Li Xinlin very sincerely asked Guan Yalian to go home for the New Year.
Guan Yalian also agreed, and went home every day, but for the sake of prudence, Guan Yalian did not go through the remarriage procedures with Li Xinlin.
Under such circumstances, Liu Zhimei called one afternoon: "Yalian, how did I see your husband shopping in the supermarket with a woman." β
Guan Yalian said, "Is it in which supermarket?"
"Pagoda supermarket. β
"Maybe it's his classmate!"
"I don't think they are like it, the woman is losing her temper with Li Xinlin. β
"yes, I see. β
Guan Yalian called Li Xinlin, and Li Xinlin said, "I'm busy now!"
hung up Guan Yalian's phone.
Hehe! I'm busy apologizing to other women!
Guan Yalian silently packed up her things and resolutely left her former home.
When she was about to walk out of the house, she met Li Xinlin who came back, Guan Yalian was reluctant to talk more, and Li Xinlin pulled Guan Yalian and didn't let her go.
Guan Yalian left with a shake of her hand.
In fact, Guan Yalian knew about Li Xinlin and his later wife, after Li Xinlin was laid off, he said that he wanted to learn a driver's license, and Guan Yalian also supported it, and it was her mother-in-law who took Guan Yalian's salary card and took the tuition fee to let Li Xinlin take the driver's license.
At that time, Xiuxiu, who ran a beauty shop, happened to be in the same group as Li Xinlin, and Xiuxiu divorced, and the two met during the driver's license test and had a good impression of each other.
Li Xinlin is reluctant to divorce, but just wants to have two women at the same time.
In front of Xiuxiu, Li Xinlin has absolute self-confidence, and once told Guan Yalian that after getting married for the second time, the TV remote control at home has always been held by himself.
is nothing more than wanting to convey a message to Guan Yalian, Xiuxiu loves him much more than he loves Xiuxiu, and he has the absolute right to speak at home.
divorced Li Xinlin, Guan Yalian only had relief, and this selfish man Guan Yalian was not nostalgic at all.
Li Xinlin, who is divorced, is angry and keeps saying bad things about Guan Yalian outside, but Guan Yalian doesn't even want to mention his name.
Maybe it's really the reason for not loving it! All the things about this person have nothing to do with herself, Guan Yalian even hopes that he will live better, only if he lives well, can he better help Li Xinran.
It was a really bad day, the faucet broke and the water stopped, the curtains fell, the racket was lost, and the swimming was not successful after many walks......
Fortunately, she still has her family, Guan Yaping is on call, and she braves the sun to pick her up without saying a word.
Guan Yaping is more like a sister, she has always worked hard, and she always pays silently at home.
As soon as she arrived at the independent hospital, Guan Yalian immediately ran to her parents' room, and to her surprise, there was no one in the room.
Guan Yalian asked Guan Yaping, "Where did Mom go?"
It has been like this for decades, and the first person the three sisters Guan Yalian will see when they return home is Comrade Li Juan.
Guan Xiaofu has always been working under the gate house in the countryside, and he should be the first person the children see.
And the three children always enter the door with the same sentence, "Dad, where is my mother?"
Guan Xiaofu once had a lot of opinions, obviously he is the main force who works hard to make money to support his family, why is he always ignored by the children!
For this reason, Guan Xiaofu also protested to Comrade Li Juan, and Comrade Li Juan laughed at him, who made him not have a good popularity?
Guan Xiaofu was not convinced and had no choice, and every time a little one asked: "Dad, where is my mother?"
Guan Xiaofu always glared, "I don't know!"
Comrade Li Juan would always come out of the house as soon as he heard the child's voice, and then, the mother and son spoke happily, completely treating Guan Xiaofu as air.
After a long time, Guan Xiaofu also accepted his fate, these little ones didn't look at his face at all, so Guan Xiaofu accepted his fate, and when he encountered such a problem again, he was much calmer, "In the house!"
