Chapter 124: Relief

On the weekend, Lu Yuan got up early in the morning, but he refused to get up from bed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He knew that today was the day of the finals, and he had cut off almost all contact with the outside world for a week, and he tried to listen to his mother, tried to read books seriously, did his homework seriously, and tried not to think about anything related to basketball.

The book "A Basketball Player's Self-cultivation" was put by Xu Qian somewhere, and Lu Yuan used to take it out every night to read it for a while before going to bed.

So he didn't sleep well for the past two days, but when he woke up in the morning, he couldn't sleep, and he often sat on the bed in a daze. looked at the mobile phone and computer, it has been closed for a week, I don't know if Bai Ye and Wang Yourong are looking for themselves?

They must be busy with classes, training, and preparing for the finals of the county competition, and they won't have time to find themselves.

I hope they can win the championship, so that they can rest assured, Lu Yuan thought so in his heart, but immediately shook his head, saying that if you don't think about basketball-related things, you can't think about it at all.

Lu Yuan is not a person who likes to escape, but there are only a few issues that he can't face directly, about basketball, about his father, about the memory of ten years ago.

Lu Yuan sat on the bed for a while and heard the sound of his mother getting up to make breakfast for himself.

Xu Qian goes to work later than Lu Yuan's class time every day, but in order to let her son go to school with a full meal, Xu Qian never gives her child ten yuan to buy breakfast at the breakfast shop like some parents, but will get up very early to make a hearty breakfast for her son.

This has been done for ten years, except for illness and business trips, and has never stopped. When she was younger, Xu Qian had to send Lu Yuan to school and pick him up from school, and at that time, the two were still living in a cubicle in a rental house and sharing a kitchen with others.

Sometimes Xu Qian had to quarrel with her neighbors over a green onion and an egg in the kitchen, and at that time, Lu Yuan would always stand on her mother's side and stand in front of her mother like a little man. In the summer, when electricity consumption peaks, there will be occasional power outages in rental houses, Xu Qian is afraid of the dark, and Lu Yuan will hold his mother's hand until the power is restored.

Now that Lu Yuan has grown up and the family's situation is better, he can go to school by himself, and eat in the cafeteria for lunch and dinner. Only this breakfast, my mother is still rain or shine.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. Today he is going to go out for a walk, this week he is hiding at home, and everyone is about to be wasted.

"Get up, I fried two eggs for you, as well as soy milk, and the steamed buns I bought yesterday. Are you hungry, if you're hungry, mom will go down and buy you something else?" Xu Qian asked when she saw her son get up.

"Enough, enough to eat. That old mother, I wanted to go out for a walk today, I didn't move for a week, and my bones fell apart. Lu Yuan and his mother said.

Xu Qian looked at Lu Yuan, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, don't play around outside, pay attention to safety." ”

So, Lu Yuan finished eating the eggs and soy milk, nibbled on another steamed bun, and went out with the key.

Before leaving, Lu Yuan looked at the shoe cabinet, and finally took a pair of ordinary casual shoes and put them on his feet, and put the pair of Kobe 11th generation into the deepest part of the shoe cabinet.

Xu Qian cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and watched her son go out, she was not worried about Lu Yuan going to the basketball hall, she knew in her heart that Lu Yuan would not go to play without her consent.

Lin Sifan got up very early today, because she was going to Teacher Zeng's house to practice the piano in the morning.

Yesterday, she told Teacher Zeng on the phone that she would go over early today and finish at 10 o'clock in the morning, because in the finals of today's county competition, all the students in the first and second years of high school will go to the Olympic Sports Center to watch the game.

So she arrived at Teacher Zeng's house at half past seven, and today the cold wind outside blew her little face red, and she kept puffing into her hands after entering the door.

At home, An Yi was already sitting there reading the score, while Teacher Zeng was cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

"Sister An Yi, you came so early. Lin Sifan greeted An Yi.

An Yi smiled and said, "Because our school is going to play a basketball game with you today, we have to go to the game to watch it." ”

Lin Sifan then remembered that An Yi was from a foreign Chinese school, and the two sides in the finals of this year's county competition were Lizhong and foreign Chinese.

"Oh, then we're rivals!" Lin Sifan said in an exaggerated tone.

These words amused An Yi and said: "What nonsense, what is the same sky, what words are used." ”

The two talked and laughed, and Teacher Zeng gave them a bowl of millet porridge and put it on the table, and said, "Let's eat something first, we have to go to the game today?" ”

The two nodded, Lin Sifan put the violin box on the stool next to him, put the bicycle key in his hand on the dining table, and then sat down to drink porridge.

An Yi glanced at the small pendant on Lin Sifan's car key, which was a small gray hamster, fluffy lying on the table.

An Yi's heart jumped, looked at Lin Sifan, and asked, "Sifan, this... This little hamster keychain is pretty cute, where did you buy it?"

Lin Sifan replied: "A friend gave it to me. ”

An Yi asked again, "It was sent by a boy, right?"

As soon as An Yi said this, Lin Sifan blushed a little, picked up the key and stuffed it into his pocket, and then hummed softly.

Looking at Lin Sifan's expression, An Yi's heart continued to sink, she cleared her throat and said, "Let me guess what kind of boy it is, is it the basketball team?"

Lin Sifan was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "How do you know ......?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sifan hurriedly closed his mouth and drank porridge with his head down. didn't know that her words hit An Yi's chest like a hammer, and An Yi only felt that his chest was stuffy and his eyes were swollen.

It turned out that the girl Bai Ye said he wanted to give a gift was Lin Sifan, and it turned out that he taught me to play the piano just to know what to give the girl.

Yes, for high school girls, what is a simpler and more affectionate gift than a keychain, which is not expensive, and at the same time can be carried with you every day.

Thinking about this, An Yi's heart was so confused that he couldn't drink the porridge in the bowl in a sip. And Lin Sifan has already drunk the porridge cleanly.

"Sister An Yi, why don't you drink it?"

"No, I actually had breakfast, I'm not hungry. ”

After drinking the porridge, Mr. Zeng first took Lin Sifan to practice the violin for a while, and then took An Yi to practice the piano, but found that both of them made a bunch of mistakes. Especially Anyi, who is not in a state at all, was fine when he came, but now I don't know how to do it.

Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, Teacher Zeng said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you both go to watch the competition, see that you don't have much heart to practice." ”

Lin Sifan stuck out her tongue at Teacher Zeng, her mind was indeed not on practicing, but not on the competition, but thinking, how happened to Lu Yuan today, will he go to the competition?

And An Yi looked at Lin Sifan in a complicated mood, but she didn't know that she completely misunderstood Lin Sifan and Bai Ye, just thinking that she had said that she was going to the game site last week to cheer for Bai Ye, now do you want to go?

……………………

After Lu Yuan went out, Xu Qian began to prepare lunch at home, thinking about what vegetables to buy at noon. packed up and was about to go out, but I heard the doorbell of the downstairs access control, and when I opened the access control camera, I saw that it seemed to be Lu Yuan's homeroom teacher, Mr. Mao.

Xu Qian hurriedly opened the door, but she was calculating in her heart, Teacher Mao must have come for Lu Yuan's affairs. She has already thought about it, no matter what Teacher Mao says, she will not let go.

But after opening the door, she found that it was not only Teacher Mao who came, but also Jia Yumeng's father and Jia Yumeng. There are three people in total, and it seems that the lineup is very strong.

Xu Qian was still silent, handed the slippers to the three of them, then turned around to make tea, and said, "Hello Teacher Mao, why are you here Jia Zhonghai too, and Xiaomeng? Lu Yuan is not at home today, he went out after breakfast." ”

Jia Yumeng shook her head and said, "I'm not here to find Lu Yuan today, I'm here to find Auntie." ”

Today, Jia Yumeng was originally going to participate in the cheerleading performance, but without Lu Yuan, she didn't have the heart to dance at all, and insisted on following her father and Teacher Mao to Lu Yuan's house.

Xu Qian saw that the three of them had a clear purpose, and they didn't want to go around in circles, so she sat down and said, "Teacher Mao, I know what you came here for." I've thought a lot about it in the past week, I can only put my words first, I will never agree to Lu Yuan joining the basketball team to play basketball!"

Before the conversation began, Xu Qian threw out her attitude first, and she looked extremely resolute.

Jia Yumeng was anxious when he heard this, and wanted to speak, but was stopped by his father, and he signaled Jia Yumeng with his eyes not to talk nonsense. With Teacher Mao here, everything is up to Teacher Mao.

Mao Jiaping didn't look impatient, took a sip of water, and said, "Xu Qian, I remember that when I was just a class teacher, you and Jia Zhonghai were both my students. I was quite young at that time, and now for more than ten years, your son has been my student. ”

When Mao Jiaping said this, Xu Qian and Jia Zhonghai were a little emotional, and the hair on Mr. Mao's head was not so little at that time.

Mao Jiaping continued: "I remember that I had just become a homeroom teacher at that time, and I was also enthusiastic, and I wanted to communicate with the students and mingle. At that time, I still remember that at the class meeting, there was a 'dream exchange meeting', where each of you wrote down your future ideals on a slip of paper, and then everyone exchanged them. ”

When Mao Jiaping said this, Xu Qian and Jia Zhonghai were impressed.

However, Xu Qian heard the meaning of Mao Jiaping's words, so she said: "It was all when I was a child, who didn't have messy dreams when I was a child, and now my son is so old, don't think about it." ”

Teacher Mao did not answer Xu Qian's words, but continued: "I remember that Xu Qian's dream is to be a fashion designer. What about Jia Zhonghai? Jia Zhonghai, what did you write?"

"Drive a tractor ......"

Mao Jiaping and Xu Qian both laughed when they heard this, but Jia Yumeng leaned like his father, embarrassed.

"Later, during the college entrance examination, Xiaoqian, you wanted to go to a design school, but your parents insisted that you go to a comprehensive university. Then your parents came to me, I was young at the time, and I didn't dare to be responsible for the future of my students, so I couldn't help it, and I worked with your parents to persuade you to get into a better comprehensive university. Then, you go to Beijing. ”

Mao Jiaping turned out the past of that year, and with Xu Qian's grades at that time, he could indeed be admitted to a good key undergraduate school. But what she really liked was those design colleges with low scores, but her parents didn't agree, so she could only obey her family's advice and chose to be admitted to a university in Beijing.

Xu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't it good now, if you study any design major, it is estimated that you will be tired of drawing." ”

Mao Jiaping said: "The road of life is neither short nor long, sometimes just a few key choices can change a person's fate." High school is a critical period, many people will listen to their parents, teachers, and experts, but few people will listen to themselves. ”

Xu Qian said: "What's wrong with listening to parents, what do children understand? What did I understand at that time." ”

Mao Jiaping nodded and said: "That's right, children don't understand, and many of their parents' words are right, after all, people who have come over have suffered losses and have been deceived, and they always hope that their children will take fewer detours." But do you know what your parents wanted you to do at a comprehensive university at that time? They told me that it was to be able to stand up in the village. The children of the family next door have been admitted to Nanjing, so their family is going to Beijing! Beijing is the capital, and it is said that children who go to Beijing to study have more face than to go to Nanjing to study!"

What Mao Jiaping said, in fact, Xu Qian already knew in her heart that sometimes some of the parents' ideas are so simple and naΓ―ve. For the sake of their own face, in order to follow the crowd, for the sake of a few decent words from relatives and friends, they can make decisions about the future fate of their children.

However, Xu Qian still suppressed the excitement in her heart, pursed her lips and said: "Teacher Mao, the past is over, I will be like this for the rest of my life, I have nothing to be dissatisfied." Let's talk about my son, I know you're here for him. ”

Mao Jiaping said: "I am here for your son, your son is talented in basketball, and he is very happy in the basketball team, and it has not affected his homework at all." I don't understand, as a mother, what reason do you have to hinder him, to deprive him of his hobbies and dreams?"

At this time, Xu Qian couldn't help but get excited, and said loudly: "What hobby, what dream? It's just a game! Dream, Mr. Mao, the last thing I want to hear is this word, dream dream, is to think in a dream." If you look at today's children, look at today's television programs, and dream and dream all day long, what is their dream? That is, they sing and dance, play ball, play games, and then they become famous, they have money, and they have no worries about food and clothing! However, so many people in this world want to live, eat, drink, and wear, and everyone dreams of singing, dancing, and playing ball, and what they eat, wear, and use? Some people let their parents be cows and horses for what dreams, and they themselves have unrealistic dreams all day long! There are also some people who keep saying that they have great dreams, but in fact they are doing dirty and shameless things! What's wrong with having dreams? Are dreams great? Can you do whatever you want if you have dreams? If you have dreams? What a dream. I just hope that my family Lu Yuan will be a down-to-earth person, grow up peacefully, live a healthy and healthy life, no illness or disaster, and live a long life. ”

Xu Qian's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, she clenched her fists tightly, and her bones turned white.

The living room fell into a brief silence, and Xu Qian's words were like a knife piercing the ears of three people, a mother's heartfelt cry, and a painful wail from a wounded person.

Jia Zhonghai, who hadn't spoken much, finally spoke up, and he said: "However, Lu Yuan's playing is real, he didn't spend a penny of his family's money, I heard Xiaomeng say that the school gave subsidies instead." His playing has not affected his studies, and his homework has always been at the top of his class. Lu Yuan didn't say that he had any great basketball dreams, I think he just likes to play and make friends, and he is different from those who have unrealistic dreams. And... Moreover, Xu Qian, you can't blame basketball for Lu Zihao's departure from you back then, and you shouldn't be angry with Lu Yuan because of this incident!"

Jia Zhonghai finally said the crux of the problem, as Xu Qian's classmate, as an old friend who understands this matter, Jia Zhonghai has been careful not to touch this minefield in Xu Qian's heart for many years.

But today he knows that if he doesn't touch it, he will touch it, not only for Lu Yuan, but also for Xu Qian herself. She is angry with her son and basketball like this, and if she doesn't solve it, this heart disease will never be eliminated.

And Jia Zhonghai's words made Xu Qian stand up from the sofa suddenly, her face was full of anger, her face turned from white to red, and then from red to white, and finally turned into a tear that flowed out of her eyes.

"I didn't, I didn't get angry with him, no. ”

Xu Qian shook her head, but Mao Jiaping obviously didn't believe it, he said: "Xu Qian, what you are doing now is exactly the same as your parents back then, or even more excessive. For the sake of something that is not really related, move to another thing, even affecting your own son. Let me ask you, if there was no basketball, would your ex-husband definitely not leave you? If he likes football, volleyball, cars, and fishing? Can Lu Yuan play basketball? Xu Qian, you are an adult, in fact, you know in your heart that your husband left you not because of basketball, but because..."

Mao Jiaping did not continue to say the following words, because Xu Qian could no longer cry.

Jia Zhonghai continued: "Xu Qian, for so many years, my Xiaomeng and Lu Yuan grew up together, went to elementary school together, went to junior high school, do you know what Xiaomeng said about Lu Yuan after she came back? She said that no boy in school likes to play with Lu Yuan, because Lu Yuan never participates in sports, he doesn't play ball, he doesn't play football, he always plays table tennis like a girl. Some of the little boys bullied him, saying he was a sissy. Every time he has a sports meeting, he can obviously participate, he can take the first place, and he can be praised by the teacher, but you don't let him participate, saying that he has congenital heart disease. Do you know how painful it is for a boy to be looked down upon for not doing good sports in school? You said that you want him to grow up in good health, but is he growing up in good health?"

Jia Zhonghai's words pierced Xu Qian's heart like a needle, for so many years, she didn't want to see Lu Yuan participate in any sports, just because she would think of Lu Zihao and the person who abandoned her for the basketball dream. She was afraid that her son would become like this.

In fact, she didn't know that basketball, football or anything had nothing to do with this kind of thing. But she couldn't think about it, she couldn't let it go, she couldn't forget the poster, she couldn't forget the sentence on the title page of the book, it was like a spell between her and Lu Zihao.

Now, the spell had hurt her son, and she didn't know it.

Xu Qian quickly wiped away her tears, in the past ten years, she had cried countless times in one difficult and lonely night after another, and wiped her tears countless times to welcome the next day's sun.

Teacher Mao and Jia Zhonghai's words opened her heart, but what really made her sober and guilty was Lu Yuan, her obedient and sensible son.

In the past ten years, her son has never caused much trouble to worry about herself, and he has never been as rebellious and unruly as other adolescent teenagers.

He goes to and from school on time every day, does his homework, does housework for himself on weekends, and spends his leisure time to walk and go shopping.

During the holidays, he would go out to work to earn some pocket money, not smoke, not go to Internet cafes, not play video games, not provoke right and wrong, and not provoke girls.

Lu Yuan is her good son, her spiritual pillar and the motivation to live, and now he has a little hobby of his own, which is healthy and upward, and does not affect his studies. Not only exercised his body, but also made friends, that boy named Bai Ye is so tall, he must be a teammate of the basketball team, right?

Why should I, as a mother, stop him? Why should I lock him up at home, like a little bird, can I keep him for the rest of my life?

My dear son, how selfish it is for my mother to destroy your beautiful youth without giving you a happy and complete home.

Xu Qian fell into deep self-blame, she pondered for a long time, and said to Teacher Mao: "Teacher Mao, Zhonghai, you are right, I was stunned, and I didn't care about Lu Yuan's heart to understand his thoughts. And... And he was still so obedient, without any resistance or justification, I think he must be very sad, he must be struggling. ”

Mao Jiaping saw that Xu Qian was about to shed tears again, and hurriedly said: "Okay, it's good to be able to solve the problem." Since I lifted the lid, I naturally asked me, as the head teacher, to solve the problem. Then Lu Yuan will return to the basketball team?"

Xu Qian nodded and said, "Well, if he likes it, let him go back." However, Mr. Mao, there are a few things I want to make clear, as a mother, I agree with my son to join the basketball team, but I have a few requests that I hope Mr. Mao will convey to their coach. First, training should not excessively affect children's learning; second, the training time and amount should be controlled so as not to harm children's health; third, they should go to other places to play in the future, right? We must pay attention to their safety and let them report the situation to their parents every day. ”

Xu Qian's several requirements are actually the requirements of many parents of basketball team members, no matter how the ball is played, the child's learning and health and safety must be dealt with.

Mao Jiaping agreed to these things one by one, and now the question is how to inform Lu Yuan of this matter. This guy didn't know where to go after breakfast, and he didn't have his phone with him.

It's just half past ten, and the game should just start, and if Lu Yuan is found, he still has a chance to participate in today's final.

But where will Lu Yuan go?

"I'll go find Lu Yuan, I know where he's going!" Jia Yumeng, who had been sitting on the side and hadn't spoken, jumped up and said.

Saying that, she ran to the door and put on her shoes, went downstairs with a smoke, and went to find Lu Yuan.

"Hey, hey, don't go, slow down! You don't even want your father!" Jia Zhonghai chased to the door and found that his daughter had long since run away.
