Xie Lan sat on the couch with her phone in hand, and she had just finished watching a video of her son's highlights from the semi-finals of the national competition.

Her son's achievement in the final did not make her happy, but rather worried.

Because before reaching the finals, the husband asked himself why it had been so long and his son had not returned.

Although he was prevaricated by himself with an excuse at that time, this does not mean that his husband's suspicions can be completely dispelled.

Now Dongchuan Middle School has reached the finals, and she went to check the time of the finals just now, which is to kick off at four o'clock in the afternoon next Monday.

It's Friday, which means even if the team leaves for home the day after the game, there will be five days before my son comes home.

It's been more than two weeks since my son went out.

What kind of activities can't be completed for such a long time? It's time for summer camp to end, right?

What should I do if my husband doubts it again? What excuses can I make for myself?

If her husband finds out that her son is playing football, it will be over......

Sheeran knows her husband's temper and resentment of football too well.

At this moment, she heard the sound of unlocking the door, so she quickly put away her mobile phone, and then got up and pretended to go to the kitchen to stir-fry.

At the same time, he said behind him without looking back: "Back? ”

The tone is as calm and natural as possible.

"Hmm." Her husband's muffled voice sounded behind him.

"I'm going to stir-fry ......"

"Wait a minute."

Xie Lan stopped a little unexpectedly and turned her head to look at her husband: "What are you doing?" You're not hungry, are you? ”

At this time, she found that Hu Lixin was standing at the door, looking directly at herself, and she felt a little ...... Hair.

"What's wrong?" Xie Lan squeezed out a smile and asked.

"A question suddenly occurred to me, why hasn't Hulai come home yet?"

When Xie Lan heard this question, she chuckled in her heart, because her husband had only asked this question two days ago, and she had been fooled by herself at that time. But when he asked such a question in a short period of time, Xie Lan couldn't help but think about it, he probably didn't just express his doubts......

"Didn't you ask before?" Xie Lan forced his composure.

"Because I called the school to ask, this social practice activity of the science and technology group has long ended." Hu Lixin raised the mobile phone in his hand.

If there was a thunder explosion outside the window at this time, Xie Lan would not feel any disobedience.

Because thunder was already ringing in her heart.

"Did he play football? What kind of national tournament are you going to play? Hu Lixin stared at his wife and asked.

"Yes......" Xie Lan understood that her husband should know everything at this time, so she no longer hid it and nodded directly.

"You know where my injuries came from. You also know that because I play football, I have to have no education, I have no ability, and I can only be a security guard until now......"

Although Hu Lixin's voice was not loud, Xie Lan could already hear the suppressed anger in his voice, because he gritted his teeth when he was a security guard in the end.

"You know that, Sheeran. Then why do you want to allow him to play football and help him hide it from me?! ”

Facing her angry husband, Xie Lan lowered her hands and sighed: "That's why I said that you didn't care about your son at all." ”

"What does it have to do with whether I care about him or not......"

"Of course it does!" Sheeran raised his voice suddenly, "Since he started playing, he has also become physically stronger, and the most important thing is that the smile on his face has become more and more...... He's happier than ever, so that's why I thought about keeping him playing. He always cowers in front of you, and if he goes on like this, he has no confidence at all. Football has given him confidence, he can now score goals in national competitions, he can talk to reporters in interviews, and he has a fan base online...... Aren't these bad? ”

"What's so good about that? These are all fake! The confidence is fake, the exposure is fake, and the fans are fake! Hu Lixin said angrily, "Except for injuries, everything is fake!" He doesn't understand the cruelty of football at all! ”

"Hu Lixin! You don't want to be a football victim yourself and be so paranoid! How brutal can he be when he just plays football on the school's varsity team, exercises and participates in a soccer game between middle school students? Xie Lan was also angry, and she looked directly at her husband without flinching. It's nothing more than the cruelty of losing! Besides, he can only play until the second year of high school, and I have already told him that he will quit the school's football team in the third year of high school and concentrate on preparing for the exam. What else do you want? ”

"Quitting the team in your junior year of high school? Are you not concerned about your son's recent situation? Hu Lixin snorted coldly, "He said he wants to be a professional player!" ”

How could Sheeran not know that his son had said this? She has been secretly paying attention to her son's performance behind her husband's back, and naturally she also saw what her son said in an interview.

But she felt that it was just the child's wishful thinking, a beautiful vision, and it did not mean that it could be realized.

"Just talk, can you do it? Didn't you say it wasn't that easy to become a professional footballer? She asked rhetorically.

"Don't kid yourself, Sheeran. Let me tell you, Hu Lai will never give up football easily, you let him taste the sweetness for two years, how can he obediently listen to you when he reaches the third year of high school, quit the football team, don't touch football for a year, and then concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination? ”

"So what? Even if he does go to professional football, so what? ”

"So what? We borrowed so much money, not so that he could play football! Otherwise, why do you owe a lot of debt? You think I want to stay up three nights a week! Do you think that staying up late is like eating and drinking?! ”

Xie Lan gritted her teeth and was silent in the face of her husband's rhetorical question, unable to refute, because she knew that her husband was really working hard to repay his debts, and she also felt sorry that her husband stayed up late and worked overtime.

"Every time I was on duty to keep vigil, it turned out that it was when he was training at school...... Why do I have to suffer this? Wouldn't it be okay to say earlier that you wouldn't borrow the 350,000? Do you think I'm willing to borrow money? I'll just say it bluntly, Xie Lan, do you know who I borrowed this money from? ”

"Isn't it your former teammate......" Xie Lan asked suspiciously.

"Heh, I have cut off contact with them a long time ago, and I can't even find anyone, where can I borrow money?" Hu Lixin sneered, "I borrowed money from your eldest brother!" ”

Xie Lan's mouth opened wide and he was stunned on the spot.

"I know that your relatives over there look down on me, yes, who made me have no education and can't make money? That's why I don't want Hulai to go my way! I'm an outsider, and I don't have any relatives or friends here. Your eldest brother has money, but you fell out with them, and it is definitely impossible for you to go to them to borrow money, so I am the only one who goes. It's not a big deal to be laughed at by them, and I'm used to being a security guard...... As long as you can borrow money. ”

Although Hu Lixin said it lightly, Xie Lan, who knows his eldest brother very well, can still imagine what kind of trouble her husband suffered from her eldest brother. The money was borrowed, but it was definitely not like what he said, just a few jokes......

"If I knew you were going to borrow money from him, then I would rather not let Hu Lai go to Dongchuan Middle School......" Xie Lan complained. If you don't go to Dongchuan Middle School, you can't get into college? Besides, what good is this practice that makes you uncomfortable, makes me uncomfortable, and makes our son uncomfortable? ”

"What's in it for you? As long as he can be admitted to university, learn an ideal major, and get a good job when he comes out, it is the biggest benefit! ”

"It's okay to make everyone unhappy for this?"

"Happy? I used to be happy when I played football, but do you think I'm happy now? People in their forties, one of the big men, still have nothing to do...... It's been so many years since my parents died, how many times have I gone back to see them? Why don't I go back to the grave? Because I feel ashamed! No face to see them! I now regret that I didn't listen to my dad and go to school and go to university, but I had to play football...... Did you kick something out? After practicing for more than ten years, I didn't even play a professional game, and I retired! I wasted the opportunity to go to school and study, wasted my most precious youth, and what did I get back in the end? Got back to a knee that hurt on a rainy day! Why should I support him to play?! In order for him to be injured like me in the future, can't he find a good job?! ”

Hu Lixin roared at his wife emotionally.

Xie Lan knew how much of a blow and excitement it was to her husband to end up like this because of playing football, so she really couldn't fight with her husband anymore, so she could only sigh: "I'm going to cook ......"

With that, he turned around and plunged into the kitchen.

Hu Lixin was still standing at the door, he was so excited just now that he felt that his head was not supplied with enough blood and was a little dizzy, he leaned back lightly against the door panel, and his chest rose and fell violently.

With the sound of heavy breathing, he slowly closed his eyes.
