Chapter 4: Friends
On Friday, October 16, 1987, the New York stock market was the first to fall, but most people were unaware of the crisis. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The next two days went into the holiday. The elite of Wall Street, taking off their suit jackets and starting a life of drunken money, did not feel the coming of disaster at all.
Jessica had a rare sleep, but when she woke up, she found that her stinky boy was nowhere to be found, leaving her alone at home. 'This kid can't be in love, right?' Jessica thought evilly. Completely forgot that Tiger was a, only 10 years old, well! Maybe she thinks that her son can already have a girlfriend at the age of 10.
And the 10-year-old Tiger child completely lived up to his mother's expectations. Tiger, who was in a good mood, got up early in the morning and did not disturb Jessica, who was sleeping lazily, and strolled through the nearby streets alone. After talking to Jessica that night, Tiger obviously let go of some shackles in his heart, and became much more cheerful, and began to want to touch some things around him.
In a neighborhood across the street from his home, Tiger saw an open-air basketball court in the middle of which two boys about his age were playing basketball.
This scene reminded him of his youthful years. Picture of a tattered basketball hoop, a basketball with its skin polished, and a boy struggling to practice dribbling and shooting. I miss it now! It seems that after getting married, I never touched a basketball again. Under the pressure of life, I have forgotten my childhood dreams in Java.
Tiger, who was reminded of the memories, unconsciously stopped, and just stood on the side of the court and watched. At this time, the little white boy in the field, with a poor and outrageous shot, deviated from the basket and flew directly towards Tiger. Another little black boy in the middle of the pitch immediately screamed to alert Tiger to his attention. Just as the basketball was about to kiss his head, Tiger subconsciously stretched out his right hand and grabbed the whistling basketball. And the two boys on the basketball court were also relieved.
"Hey! Big one, throw the ball over. The black boy on the field, grinning, shouted at Tiger.
Tiger smiled and gently slapped the basketball twice, and then passed the ball back to the court.
"Hey! Big, it looks like you're going to play too, do you want to come and play together? The black boy catches the basketball and invites Tiger on the sidelines.
Tiger who had just come to be interested happily accepted his invitation, and then the three friends sweated on the basketball court.
"Hey! Big, do you live nearby? Why haven't I seen you? By the way, my name is Jason Green, and you can call me Jason. What about you? "The black boy is a cheerful character. When he was sweating profusely and sitting on the sidelines to rest, he couldn't wait to say hello to Tiger.
"My name is Tiger Washington, you can call me Tiger. I live in the area up front and don't come here often, so I haven't seen you either. ”
"Hello! My name is Andy Smith and you can call me Andy. Another white boy introduced himself shyly.
The cheerful Jason turned on the sea chat mode, and learned in the chat that Tiger and Andy were the same age, and Jason was one year older than them.
"Hey! What did you grow up eating Tiger? It's taller than me. Although I can play basketball better than you, my height restricts my basketball skills. Jason said with a stinking face. It seems that he is very unhappy with being bullied by Tiger on the field just now. However, for the sport of basketball, the physical condition is indeed a hard injury.
"Hey! Jason, you're slandering! How can you play basketball better than me, my basketball skills completely throw you off the street! "In fact, I relied on experience to bully a teenager.
“ou! What are you kid talking nonsense about Tiger? How could I, Jason Green's future basketball superstar, be inferior to you, I'm going to go head-to-head with you right now. ”
"Come on, I'm afraid of you!" Saying that, the two big black men came to the court again and started a 1-on-1 heads-up. Andy kept smiling at them.
Andy has a handsome face and a highly intelligent mind. This made him very unpopular with boys at school, except for Jason, a stupid big man, who never cared about these and became friends with Andy. Jason is a basketball fan and dreams of becoming a professional basketball player, and Andy slowly fell in love with basketball under Jason's influence, but Andy really has no talent for basketball, just look at the shot just now. In Jason's words, 'all of his talent grows on, above the neck.' ’
There was no class this afternoon, so I accompanied Jason to play ball in the community next to Jason's house, and met Tiger, a high-IQ Andy, who can be very sensitive to other people's emotions. And the new black man he met made him feel very good. It puts him in a good mood! So Andy has been smiling on the sidelines, enjoying the bullfighting game between the two bulls on the court.
At six o'clock in the evening, Tiger said goodbye to Jason and Andy, and returned home with cheerful steps. Jessica looked at her son, who was obviously in a good mood, and her thoughts drifted again.
"Tiger, son, you're in a good mood today!"
"Yes Mom, I met two new friends today."
"Two? Son! How can you step on two boats when dating girls? That's not right. Balabalajessica, holding her chin in her hand, thought about it for a while, and felt that she had to do ideological work for her son.
"Mom! What are you talking about? Two of my friends were boys, and we played basketball together all afternoon. Tiger was furious. For the old disrespectful mother.
"Ahh It's not going on a date! It's boring. However, when are you going to bring a girlfriend back, son! ”
Tiger held his forehead, with an expression that he couldn't stand it. Suddenly, with a roll of his eyes, he looked at Jessica and smiled: "Mom, I don't like little girls, it's so troublesome, but I like boys, why don't I bring a boyfriend back another day to introduce you to you?" After saying that, he rushed back to the room, locked the door, and then leaned against the door panel and laughed.
Jessica froze in place as if she had been immobilized suddenly. Nani? Boyfriend! Oh! Oh my! Just as Jessica was about to faint, Tiger was in the room with a loud "haha" laugh.
Jessica, who knew that she had been tricked, went straight away, rolled up her sleeves, and shouted while banging on the door: "Open the door!" Open the door! Stinky boy, you have the ability to open the door for me. ”
