On Saturday, Liu Biao took an early morning, breathed in the air around him, and stretched comfortably.

There is an old man who sells breakfast in a cart outside Chishui Middle School, and he comes out of the stall at six o'clock and closes at eight o'clock, two spoonfuls of tofu brain that is more crystal than jelly, plus a spoonful of old vinegar, which has become the memory of all teachers and students back then.

The air after the rain is mixed with moist moisture, and it is pleasant.

Pulling out the plastic stool next to the low table, Liu Biao sat up and let out a long breath: "Lao Dong, here are 10,000 tofu brains and two oil cakes!"

After eating too much, he became familiar with the old man who sold tofu brains, Liu Biao casually called his breakfast, and then rubbed his hands, he hadn't eaten a mouthful of hot tofu brains for some days, and he really missed it a little.

Lao Chen had a white towel tied to his head, just like the old Balu in the play, smiled honestly, and brought the tofu brain to Liu Biao: "Serve it hot." ”

The voice was a little hoarse, it was a tone that had been brewed by the friction of the years.

Liu Biao was not polite, grabbed the oil cake on the table, first let the crispy oil cake explode in his mouth, and then poured a mouthful of tofu brain blackened by old vinegar into his mouth, as if the whole person was transparent up and down.

"That's the taste, Lao Dong, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to eat it in the future!" Liu Biao smiled as he ate.

Lao Dong was praised by Liu Biao, and he didn't speak, but smiled at Liu Biao.

Here Liu Biao was eating happily, but a smoke beside him made Liu Biao frown, he had to smoke when he was eating!

This tofu brain is the most taboo smoke to run in, and this person still wants to smoke here!

Liu Biao turned his head as he spoke, and his tone was a little low: "Hey, I'm eating, can you please put out the smoke?"

After a while, I saw that it was Shao Bin sitting next to him.

Shao Bin's cigarette was also taking the last puff, he took a deep breath, extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground, turned his head, and called a bowl of tofu brain and two oil cakes in Liu Biao's tone, and then looked at Liu Biao in front of him with a little smile.

"Shao Bin, it's early today!" Liu Biao smashed his mouth, Shao Bin doesn't live in Chishui Town, although it is not far, but it is definitely not close, he must have something to say when he came to find himself so early.

Shao Bin nodded, it was really uncomfortable to sit on the low stool, and he twisted his body up and down, and then said: "Liu Biao, I came to you today because I have something to say." ”

Liu Biao didn't want the oil cake in his hand to cool down, so he poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth, and after chewing, he nodded with satisfaction: "Say, I guessed that you must have something to come to me." ”

"It's about the junior high school student Zhou Wen, this kid has always been very well-behaved, but in the last few days, I don't know what's wrong, and he hasn't even come to training without saying a word. Shao Bin stirred the tofu brain that Lao Dong had just served with a plastic spoon and asked.

Liu Biao picked up the bowl, poured the last drop of old vinegar into his mouth, and smashed his mouth unsatisfied: "Zhou Wen, this student, I don't need to check, I can tell you directly." ”

"He is a man of the year in the school, not only has the athletic ability not to lose to Liu Ziming, but also takes the lead in learning, which can be called a group of dark horses in the school, and he has personally accepted the award of the three good students in the county!" Liu Biao said with a bit of mystery.

It is simply an all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor. Didn't you want to be a captain before?

"What you said is useless to me, I want to know, why didn't he come to train in the past two days?" Shao Bin frowned.

Liu Biao smiled and patted Shao Bin on the shoulder: "You are wrong, in fact, what I said is closely related to you, and it is precisely because Zhou Wen is so good that it will happen today." ”

Shao Bin thought about it for a while, but didn't react.

"What do you mean? ”

Liu Biao sighed: "College entrance examination, he is a graduate of the third year of high school, because he studies well, the expectations of his family have always been very high, this is probably because he was caught by his father and went home to study hard." ”

Shao Bin smashed his mouth: "Study hard, give up basketball halfway in order to study hard, I can't understand this kind of thing!"

"What's incomprehensible about this, coming to school, mainly to get admitted to a university, twelve years of hard work have survived, is it possible to fall short at the end of the door?" Liu Biao reached out and asked for a bowl of tofu brain, but he saw this matter very thoroughly.

After chewing Liu Biao's words in his mouth, Shao Bin still shook his head: "No, I can't let my team members give up halfway, where is their home?" ”

"I advise you not to go, this Zhou Wen's father is a stone head, you can't make sense," Liu Biao stopped.

"You just say where you can find Zhou Wen. ”

Liu Biao sighed and knew that Shao Bin's stubborn temper would not be able to pull back even ten cows, so he could only explain honestly: "There is a grocery store in the northeast corner in front, which was opened by Zhou Wen's father, if you want to find Zhou Wen, where can you go." ”

Shao Bin patted Liu Biao on the shoulder: "Thank you Liu Biao, I will invite you to dinner later." As he spoke, he ate the tofu brain in the bowl, and without paying, he rushed towards the grocery store.

Liu Biao smiled helplessly, and returned to school with Lao Dong with two people's premature birth money.

When you cross the corner, you can feel the scorching temperature of the high-powered incandescent bulb, and the person who wants to shine on it is really a little uncomfortable.

Coming from the street is an old song by Jacky Cheung: "Writing love letters with tears......"

It makes people nostalgic for the years and the grandeur of those years.

Beyond the corner wall, you can see all kinds of food on the three rows of shelves in the distance, plastic bottles of Coke, which looks very attractive under the white light, and the black stereo placed at the top of the three-story shelves has become the only flavoring agent for this small store, and there are not many customers on Saturday mornings, only sporadic diners who come to buy things, squeezing in front of the cash register with their fat bodies.

The person who received the money was a bespectacled Mediterranean, old, but similar to Zhou Wen, this person should be Zhou Wen's father, Zhou Shuyang.

Zhou Shuyang sent the last moment of the guest away, and then took a long breath, took out a cigarette from under the cash register, and was about to light it, when he found that the light in front of him was blocked by a tall figure.

"May I ask if you are Zhou Wen's father?" Shao Bin tried to calm his tone down.

Zhou Shuyang looked at the man in front of him, a little flattered: "Are you?"

"I'm Zhou Wen's basketball coach, and my name is Shao Bin. Shao Bin introduced himself and politely stretched out his right hand.

Hearing the words basketball coach, Zhou Shuyang's face changed significantly, but he still shook Shao Bin's hand politely.

"Hello, hello, it's for Zhou Wen's business. The face that has been through the vicissitudes of life leaks a touch of moisture and thick sadness.

Shao Bin nodded.

Zhou Shuyang sighed, walked to the door, pulled down the roller shutter halfway, pulled out a green chair from behind the cash register and put it in front of Shao Bin, and said in a deep voice: "Sit down." ”

Shao Bin was not polite, and sat directly opposite Zhou Shuyang: "I came today to find out, why didn't Zhou Wen come to participate in the basketball team's training recently?"

Zhou Shuyang took out a thermos from the back of the counter and poured a glass of water for Zhou Wen, and then said: "Coach Shao Bin! I once heard Zhou Wen talk about you, to be honest, I don't hate people like you, but Zhou Wen may not be able to play basketball again in the future." ”

Shao Bin was silent for a moment: "Is it the child's own will?"

"Does it matter what, coach, I think you should also know that the college entrance examination is coming, and I can't watch Zhou Wen distracted by the basketball matter. Zhou Shuyang smiled.

Shao Bin pursed his lips: "Do you know, this is Zhou Wen's dream, since the child has his own basketball dream, shouldn't we as parents support it?"

"And I've checked, and the results of Zhou Wen in the latest monthly exam have not dropped. ”

Zhou Shuyang smiled bitterly: "Coach Shao Bin, you and I are both from the past, this is an era that doesn't talk about dreams, and Zhou Wen's grades have not declined but have not risen." You know, I hope that Zhou Wen can get a better university entrance exam, and don't come out and become a grocery store owner like me. ”

"But, you know, giving up halfway is absolutely not good for your child's development, I understand your feelings, but please also understand your child's feelings. Since we now have the conditions to let our children chase their dreams, why don't we let our children chase them?" Shao Bin was still unwilling to give up, but his speed of speech was a little fast, obviously not a lobbyist!

Looking at Shao Bin deeply, Zhou Shuyang's smile became even more bitter, and that smile was the expression after being teased by life after he came back to life: "But, dreams, can't be eaten!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to Shao Bin, pulled up the sleeve of his shirt, and then he could see the tattoo on his wrist that had not been washed off. It says 'football'.

"Actually, it's good to dream of this thing, but it's best to keep it in your heart and don't take it out. Just like I did back then, desperately trying to play a good game?" Zhou Shuyang smiled wryly and pointed to this grocery store.

"In the end, I gave up my dream and worked part-time for three years to earn this grocery store, which was barely enough to support my family.

"We still have to face life in the end!"
