Chapter 82: I'll Catch Up with You
"Qingqing is ready, the car is here." Li Ziqiang stood downstairs and asked.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Soon, Li Qingqing, who was wearing a sports coat, rushed downstairs with a sports bag.
Looking at his spiritual daughter, Li Ziqiang nodded with satisfaction: "Today is the first game, perform well." β
"Good!"
Li Ziqiang touched his daughter's head lovingly, and then went out with her to change his shoes, get into an online car-hailing, and move towards the destination of the game.
"Hello, welcome to take the grapefruit car, are you going to the South Gate Compound?" The ride-hailing driver glanced back at the two people sitting in the back seat, and said in accordance with the greeting stipulated in the company's articles of association.
"Yes, go to the South Gate Compound."
β»β»β»
"Hu Lai, a new real chicken shooting hall has opened on the first basement floor of the South Gate Compound, are you interested in going to see and see with my brother?"
Such a message popped up on Hulai's mobile phone at home.
This fat man really wants to lure himself to eat chicken all the time, what's so fun about eating chicken......
He wanted to refuse, but when he thought of it, it didn't seem interesting to stay at home, so it was better to go out and play with Fat Song.
So he replied, "You wait for me to ask my mother." β
After speaking, he put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, jumped out of bed, and ran to the door of his parents' bedroom: "Mom, Song Jiajia asked me to go out to play......"
Hu Lixin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, frowned, but Xie Lan preemptively said, "Okay, you can go if you want." Going out for dinner? β
"I don't know."
"If you're going to eat out, be sure to let me know in advance." Xie Lan waved his hand, "Let's play!" β
"Thank you, Mom! Goodbye Dad! Hulay cheered and turned to run.
"You're too good for him...... Hu Lixin complained about his wife.
"You still chained him to the house on New Year's Day?" Xie Lan retorted. "Isn't it normal to go out and play with your classmates?"
"It's going to be a final exam soon, and I'm going out to play......"
"Oh, it's a holiday. Oh, there's a final exam, so it's not a holiday? Besides, Hulai has been learning a lot more recently, and it's okay to relax once in a while. Xie Lan said this, and lowered his voice, "Don't care about him too strictly, he is now sixteen years old, and he is no longer a six-year-old child." You glare, yell at him, slap him, and he will listen to you? β
Hearing his wife say this, Hu Lixin couldn't say anything more.
Soon, they heard Hulai putting on his shoes at the door in the bedroom.
"Ah, wait." Sheeran came out and gave Hulai a hundred dollars, much to Hulai's surprise, his mother had never given him a hundred dollars in pocket money.
Mom said with a straight face: "Don't keep asking Song Jiajia to invite you to eat, you two are friends, and you can't always take advantage of friends." β
"Yes, Mom! Thank you Mom! β
"Don't come back too late." Xie Lan watched the child run downstairs at the door, then closed the door, turned back to the bedroom, stood on the side of the bed and looked at her husband who was looking down at his mobile phone: "The children are gone, where are we going to be chic?" β
"It turns out that you ...... this idea," Hu Lixin suddenly realized.
"I just suddenly thought that the children can go out to play, and we can also go out to play, today is the holiday."
"Okay, why don't you go to the movies, I'll see what time it is......"
Looking at her husband who picked up the phone again, Xie Lan laughed.

Just listening to the name of the South Gate Courtyard will make people think that this is a tourist attraction similar to the "Qiaojia Compound", or a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city, with a pool for fishing, a teahouse for tea and mahjong, and a restaurant for eating.
But in fact, this "South Gate Compound" is neither a historic landowner's compound nor a leisure farmhouse.
It is a creative industry park built in the middle of the city.
The park is home to a large supermarket, a cinema, a gourmet restaurant, and a variety of creative shops.
From the outside, this gray reinforced concrete building has an industrial loft style, like a factory more than a shopping mall, and the name of the traditional Chinese rural land and wealth lord style such as "South Gate Compound" is even more incompatible.
However, when you walk through the entrance made up of thick pillars, walls and ceilings with bare gray cement, you will find that there is a hole inside.
Surrounded by four-storey shops closed on three sides and a hollowed-out semi-open inclined walkway on the north side, there is a huge "patio".
The "patio" is surrounded by a closed-loop slope that is made up of columns that spiral upwards and downwards on all sides, paved with a special soft material, turning it into a greenway for strolling in the sky. This walkway, which allows people to walk in mid-air, is the most recognizable visual element of the South Gate Compound. The trail starts at the back entrance, extends into the compound on the second floor, circles the interior and then returns to the north, and then continues to the top floor in the form of a ramp.
Directly below the greenway, a circle of green bamboos is planted, and even in winter, most of these bamboos are green. The "bamboo wall" composed of green bamboo is like the fence of an ancient Chinese house, dividing this huge "patio" into various areas with different functions, and there are open-air mahjong stalls with many tables, chairs and benches.
But the most eye-catching thing in this "patio" is the large green ...... Football.
Yes, in an interior that is more like a leisure mall, there is a huge football field, albeit with artificial turf, and the visual effect is quite stunning.
This football field is the size of a standard football field, but it is usually divided into several small fields of different sizes by billboards and other things, which can meet the needs of several teams to play football here at the same time.
Usually it is rented to a football training institution to provide football training services for children in the surrounding area, and on weekends, someone will pay to rent a venue to meet up for games.
Li Ziqiang is now standing on the second level of the volley trail, his hands on the railing, watching the game being played in the largest field below.
A match between women's soccer teams.
Pure women's football matches are quite unusual for people in Dongchuan, a third-tier city, so there are now many people standing on the trail near the stadium, and they are watching the game below with curious eyes.
"Wow, that RED team 10 is amazing!" Beside him, a girl from a young couple who stopped to watch made such an exclamation.
Her male partner was also dumbfounded, and let out such a sigh: "It's really amazing......"
On the court, Li Qingqing, who wore a ponytail and a red No. 10 jersey, used a beautiful Marseille slalom to fall off the opponent who came up to defend her, and the ponytail was flung up like a proud flag.
Then she dipped past another defender, entered the penalty area, faced the attacking goalkeeper, pretended to shoot, but used the sole of the shot to step on the football and pull it to the side, shook the opposing goalkeeper, and then easily pushed the empty goal.
The whole process was as easy as having fun on the training ground.
Her teammates rushed up to her and hugged her, laughing and screaming as they hugged.
There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd watching the race on the trail. There are very few people who see girls playing football, and even fewer people who see girls playing football so well.
"That sister is so amazing!" A little girl shouted excitedly. "I'm going to play football too!"
If it is an ordinary father, when he sees this scene, he will definitely show a relieved smile, and feel that his daughter can also influence others, and there are successors to women's football......
But Li Ziqiang is not such an ordinary father, at least not in football.
He just frowned and shook his head imperceptibly.
The opponent is too weak and the level of the game is too low.
I finally looked forward to a daughter's game, but now I feel like a kindergarten child playing at home......
Although China already has a Women's Super League, the penetration rate of women's football in third-tier cities is still low.
Li Ziqiang also knew that the strength of the women's football team he asked his friends to find was not much better, but he just wanted his daughter to receive a fairly systematic training, so that her skills would not be wasted.
However, after seeing the survival status of the Dongchuan women's football team, he still felt that the low level was a bit beyond his imagination.
Now it seems that his movements may be a little faster, and he still has to send his daughter to a higher level stage as soon as possible.
Although he was a little reluctant to let his daughter leave his side, it seemed that this was the best choice now.
He didn't want to be the kite string that bound his daughter's future development.

"I'll tell you Hu Lai, the newly opened real chicken restaurant on the first floor is big. The bullets are made of sponge, and it doesn't hurt at all when it hits the body, just wear a pair of goggles to ensure that there is no danger. It's fun to play as a team...... Eh, where are you going? Go downstairs and walk this way! β
Song Jiajia watched Hu Lai go straight into the "patio" in the courtyard of the South Gate, and then went to the place where there were cheers and whistles......
Of course he knew what it was, it was a football stadium!
"! I shouldn't have proposed to come to the South Gate Compound! Song Jiajia slapped her thigh and quickly chased after her.
When he proposed to come here, he just thought that he could bring Hu to enjoy the fun of eating chicken, but he forgot that there is a football stadium here!
Hu Lai, when he sees a ball game, will definitely not be able to walk......
Still counting on him to play real chicken with him? Eat a ghost!
The two men walked in the direction of the football field, and from a long distance, they saw that there seemed to be two teams playing inside.
"What's so nice about this kind of amateur competition? A group of middle-aged uncles walked around the field with a big belly, playing health football...... Let me tell you, the level of the campus games you participated in is far from the same......" After watching a few campus games, Song Jiajia seemed to have confidence in and out of her words, as if she had been watching the football for many years.
He still wanted to persuade Hu Lai to play real chicken with him.
As a result, when they approached and came to the barbed wire, they were all collectively stunned.
"It's a women's football game? This is really rare......" Song Jiajia was surprised, and then suddenly turned her head to look at Hu Lai as if she remembered something: "Isn't Li Qingqing the women's football team?" β
Hulai pointed to the pitch and said, "Oh, she's there." Red Team Ten. β
Song Jiajia turned her head to look at the court, and followed the direction of Hu Lai's finger to find the red team No. 10, the tall and straight figure, the fluttering ponytail, the pink and slender neck, and the pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes...... Who is not Li Qingqing?
Then it dawned on him: "Wow, Hulai! You two are connected behind my back! You already knew that Li Qingqing would come here to play the game! β
Hu Lai glanced at him: "Can you have some normal thoughts in your head, I also met by chance." β
"Isn't that what a normal person thinks?"
"If I had really premeditated, I should have asked you to come here, not for you." Hulay had full contempt for the fat man's IQ. "Besides, I don't have Li Qingqing's contact information......"
Song Jiajia turned her head and thought about it, it was really like this, he brought up the matter of coming to the South Gate Compound.
"Okay......" he could only mumble. It's amazing......"
"What do you say?"
"It's nothing, I'm doing it myself!"
Hu Lai didn't understand Song Jiajia's inexplicable words and emotions, and continued to stare intently at the court, watching Li Qingqing play - speaking of which, this was the first time he watched Li Qingqing play.
The two of them watched for a while, and Song Jiajia was shocked by the strength shown by Li Qingqing.
He had only heard Hu Lai say that Li Qingqing played football before, but he didn't know what the level was.
This is the first time he has seen Li Qingqing play.
Li Qingqing on the field has sharp eyes, a confident expression, and free movements, where does it look like he is playing football? It's just dancing on the court, okay?
He was even a little skeptical - was this really the Li Qingqing he knew?
"It's all hanging, isn't it?" He asked.
"Hmm. Li Qingqing said that she is a professional and has practiced in a professional football school for ten years. β
Song Jiajia was speechless: "Luo Kai is afraid that Li Qingqing is an ordinary female fan who likes football, but this is the big devil at all......"
β»β»β»
The game on the field entered the halftime break, and the players of both sides left the field and came to the sidelines to drink water and rest.
And Li Qingqing, who scored eight goals in the first half alone, was naturally guarded in the center by his teammates.
"Wow, although I usually trained, I knew that Qingqing was very powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful......"
"Qingqing, I'm afraid you haven't only practiced for a few years, right?"
In the face of everyone's praise, Li Qingqing always maintained a faint smile on her face, until she suddenly saw a familiar ...... outside the barbed wire fence No, two familiar figures.
She hurriedly made an apologetic gesture to her teammates around her, and then walked straight over and said to Hu Lai and Song Jiajia in surprise: "Why are you here?" β
"The fat man asked me to come here to play real chicken, but I didn't expect to meet you to play here tooβis it a game?" Hu Lai tilted his head and glanced at the court behind Li Qingqing.
"Uh-huh, it's a game! We're going to play with another women's football team! How's that, I'm amazing, right? Eight of our 10 goals in the first half were scored by me and two were assisted! Li Qingqing raised his head slightly, waiting for Hu Lai's praise.
Song Jiajia gave a thumbs up: "You are much more powerful than Luo Kai!" β
Hulai: "Awesome. β
Li Qingqing keenly heard the perfunctory tone in Hu Lai's tone, and she frowned: "Your praise is too perfunctory!" β
Hu Lai spread his hands: "Your opponent's strength is too weak, with your level, you are just bullying kindergarten children......"
"Yo, classmate Hulai, after playing the Anton Cup, my horizons have been broadened, and sure enough, it is different. They're so much better than you were back then. If they are all kindergarten children, aren't you even as good as kindergarten children? Li Qingqing crossed his hands on his hips and fought back.
Hu Lai pointed at Li Qingqing and said, "That was before!" Now I'm going to go to the national competition! Wait and see, I'll catch up with you soon! β
"Hehe, there are so many powerful characters in the national competition, don't be too proud! You must know that there are people outside the world, and there are ...... heavens outside the sky."
"I'm a stronger person than Chen Xingyi!" Hulay poked himself with his thumb.
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment: "Who is Chen Xingyi?" β
β»β»β»
At halftime in the game, Li Ziqiang watched his daughter suddenly walk to the sidelines, he looked over, but unexpectedly found a familiar face.
Hulai!
Is this kid haunted?
Why is he everywhere!
Seeing his daughter talking to him, she was really happy to laugh.
It's even happier than scoring a goal on the pitch......
Li Ziqiang thought so sourly in his heart.
β»β»β»
Li Qingqing, who was talking to Hu Lai and Song Jiajia, suddenly remembered something - her father was still watching from above, would he also see Hu Lai?
She twisted her neck as she pretended to be natural, looking at where her father had stood.
No one!
She twisted her perspective again, but she didn't even see her father.
She was a little confused, did she go to the toilet?
ββ¦β¦ In short, I will prove it to you in the national competition, I am much better than Chen Xingyi and the like! While she was squirming to find her father, Hulai was still yelling at her.
In this regard, Li Qingqing nodded casually: "Okay, good ......"
β»β»β»
Squatting in a blind corner that his daughter couldn't see, Li Ziqiang suddenly reacted: Why should I avoid them?!
Thinking of this, Li Ziqiang suddenly got up from the ground and walked to the railing under the surprised eyes of others, but was surprised to find that Hu Lai and his fat classmate had leftβand his daughter had returned to the team, talking and laughing with her teammates.
Let's go?
Li Ziqiang still didn't react.
β»β»β»
After seeing Hu Lai and Song Jiajia leave, Li Qingqing turned around and came back with a smile. As soon as she turned around, she was surrounded by enthusiastic and gossipy teammates.
"Qingqing, who are those two little boys just now?"
"It can't be your little boyfriend, right?"
"Boyfriend? Eh, you look down on Qingqing so much! The boyfriend of such a beautiful girl must also be a handsome guy! Do you see that the two little boys just now look like handsome guys? β
In the face of such a joke, Li Qingqing was not angry, but waved his hand and explained: "They are my high school classmates, and they just met each other when they came here to shop." β
"There is no gossip ......," the women were disappointed.
"That skinny boy is our school team, the school team of Dongchuan Middle School." Li Qingqing said with a smile.
"Huh? Dongchuan Middle School? ......, who won the Anton Cup this year, "My teammates really know about high school football."
"That's right, in March, they will represent Andong Province in the national competition." Li Qingqing nodded.
"Oh, I can't see it at all! So thin, wouldn't you fall down as soon as you hit the game? "Everyone was surprised.
Li Qingqing shook his head with a smile, and said with some pride: "No, he is super powerful." It was his goal that helped Dongchuan Middle School reach the national competition, and he was the key gentleman of Dongchuan Middle School! β
"Wow! What a human being is unseemly! β
β»β»β»
"Eh, Hulai, shall we go eat chicken?" Song Jiajia didn't expect Hu Lai to stay and continue to watch Li Qingqing's game, he was very happy, and asked expectantly as he walked.
"What a chicken! I'm going to practice! It's hard to come out for a trip, wouldn't it be a waste not to practice? Hulai gritted his teeth.
"Practice? But I don't like football......"
"Big brother, you are my big brother, you can help, I want to practice shooting, how can I practice alone, you help me guard the door......"
"But I won't be guarding the door!"
"It's okay, you're standing in the door, and it's very intimidating to stand there with your size...... I'll take you to my secret base...... No, I haven't been to the secret base for three months, and it is estimated that the grass has grown two meters high...... So, let's find a stadium like this and rent it for an hour...... I want to prove to that woman that she should be impressed for three days! β
Hu Lai pushed Song Jiajia, walked as he spoke, and walked out of the South Gate compound.
Song Jiajia wailed: "I shouldn't have called you out!" β
