The next morning, Xiao Mu and Meng Ze were strolling around the village, and Gu Yihuai was busy at home. There was still a lot of meat left over from the meat that Meng Ze bought yesterday, and Gu Yihuai was cleaning it up, preparing to make bacon and sausages.

The two came to Uncle Li's supermarket and saw Uncle Li watching TV. Li Ying and Aunt Li reported a child and were playing with the child.

When Uncle Li saw them come in, he got up and asked, "What are you buying when you're here?" ”

Meng Ze sat down, "Don't buy anything, pass by, come and have a look." ”

Li Ying asked, "What about Yihuai?" Why didn't I accompany you? ”

"I bought too much meat yesterday, and I made bacon at home."

Xiao Mu also teased children in the past, Xiao Mu never looked at children before, he was not married in his previous life, and he had no children, and when he saw other people's children, he hid far away. I always feel that children are very noisy and troublesome.

I don't know why, now I feel very fun when I see a child, touching the little hand, the little fleshy hand grabbed Xiao Mu's fingers, and it was quite strong. That fleshy little foot really wants to go up and take a bite. A pair of big round eyes, staring at Xiao Mu, not afraid at all.

Meng Ze sat and chatted with Uncle Li, "Uncle, when are you going to go to town?" ”

"What's wrong? Are you going back? ”

"Isn't it almost the New Year, I'm afraid that if we don't have a car, we have to rush back to school."

Li Ying also asked, "Aren't you on vacation?" What are you going back to school for? ”

"What do you think we're doing?" Meng Ze was swaggering, straightening up.

"Aren't you Yihuai's classmates? Students. ”

"In addition to being students, we are also our school's basketball team, and Xiao Mu is also our captain. We started training after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and this year's goal is to win the championship. ”

"I said why are you so tall, your feelings are basketball." Uncle Li exclaimed.

"So, we came over to ask, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back."

Uncle Li introduced them, "Our long-distance bus from Luohe Town to Pingchuan will stop in two days, and it won't start until the tenth day of the new year." ”

Meng Ze and Xiao Mu glanced at each other, and Xiao Mu said, "Then let's go back tomorrow, don't delay." ”

"Then I'll send you tomorrow, it's almost the New Year, I'll go and get some more goods."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Li."

"It's okay, you come to me tomorrow at 8 o'clock."

"Okay." Xiao Mu decided on the return trip and teased the child again. Meng Ze and Uncle Li talk about TV series.

At lunchtime, Xiao Mu told Gu Yihuai about going back tomorrow.

Grandma was anxious first, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Let's go back after the New Year. ”

Meng Ze said first, "Grandma, the amount of food we ate before the Chinese New Year emptied our house." ”

Grandma was happy, "If you are empty, you can buy it again, and you can still be hungry." ”

Xiao Mu said, "Grandma, we are going to start training after the New Year." We won't be able to open until the tenth day of the new year, so we have to hurry up, and the service will be suspended in two days. ”

Gu Yihuai had already calculated it, knowing that they had to go, "Then, what do you want to eat tonight?" ”

Meng Ze raised his hand, "I can't get it anymore, I have eaten in the past two days, you can see that my stomach is up." Don't get too greasy, let's be light. ”

"Okay, leave it to me. The fish sent by Wang Li the day before yesterday, let me put it in the water tank and raise it, and make fish soup for you at night. ”

"Yihuai, you do this, we will go back to school in two days, and we won't starve to death." Meng Ze had a bitter face, "It's easy to go from thrift to luxury, it's difficult to go from luxury to thrift, how can I eat those meals in the canteen in the future." ”

Gu Yihuai suddenly realized, "Yes, it's still a mountain vegetable that night, I'll go buy a piece of tofu later." The soup was also changed to radish soup and served with kimchi. It is also healthy and nourishing. ”

Meng Ze criticized Gu Yihuai, "You kid, the last dinner, you are still so picky." We have to eat better to cushion our stomachs for the Chinese New Year. There aren't many people in the school these days, and there's not much to eat in the cafeteria. Why don't you take advantage of the moment to make us something good and nourish our fat. ”

A few people laughed, as long as there was Meng Ze, there would definitely be laughter.

After dinner in the evening, grandma and Meng Ze both went back to their rooms to rest. There were only Gu Yihuai and Xiao Mu in the courtyard.

Xiao Mu took out 1,000 yuan from his pocket, "I'll leave this for you." ”

Gu Yihuai smiled, "What are you doing?" Food? ”

"No, I didn't buy anything for my grandmother, and I didn't have anything here. It's the New Year, and I want to buy something for my grandmother. You can do it for you, and my mom also called me to buy something for grandma on their behalf, so you can do it for you. ”

"You really don't need to, you also tell your aunt, you're welcome."

"It's my first time here, it's a must, you look at grandma and need to buy it. Let's just say that we can buy it for grandma. ”

"Why did we buy it for grandma together?" Gu Yihuai looked at Xiao Mu and smiled.

"Whatever you want." Xiao Mu also smiled evilly.

The moon in the sky is very round and the temperature is very low, but Gu Yihuai's heart is hot.

People in the countryside get up early in the morning, and when they set off at 8 o'clock, there were already many people on the road.

Xiao Mu found that Meng Ze had been here for two days, and many people had known each other, saying goodbye to this one, making an appointment with that, and there were several who could still be called by name, or called brothers. It seems that Meng Ze is a standard field-dependent character.

Uncle Li and Gu Yihuai sent them to the bus station in Luoshui Town before leaving, and they bought a car at 10 o'clock. After sending them to the car, Gu Yihuai went to find Uncle Li to go back. At 12 o'clock, Xiao Mu and Meng Ze arrived in Pingchuan City, and arrived in Qingyang City at 7 o'clock in the evening.

There is little gossip, and the day before the start of school, Xiao Mu went to the train station to pick up Gu Yihuai.

The two have been separated for less than a month, and it seems that there is a feeling of reunion after a long absence.

Back at school, after eating, the two of them came to the bench on Yiqiu Road again. Although we chat on WeChat every day, there are still a lot of words to talk about this meeting. Although everyone already knows a lot of things, I still say it again and again.

It doesn't feel verbose at all, it doesn't feel boring at all.

Xiao Mu told Gu Yihuai that the New Year was spent with Meng Ze, and there was a big meal in the canteen on the thirtieth night, which was still free. A few days later, I ate the leftovers from that day's meal. There is no way, Meng Ze and Xiao Mu can only cook and eat by themselves, at least scrambled eggs or something, and make do. On the seventh day of the first month, the whole team arrived. The training began on the eighth day of junior high school, and the two-day intensive training ended. After the start of school, I will train and study normally.

There is also the single apartment that the school gave Xiao Mu to live in has also been refunded, and he has moved back to the dormitory yesterday.

Gu Yihuai also told Xiao Mu that the New Year was spent with her grandmother, and she also went to Yingzi's house for a meal. On the day of the New Year, he chatted with Xu Lanqing by video for more than an hour, and Xu Lanqing and his grandmother chatted for a while. On the day she sent them away, she bought a dress for her grandmother in Luohe Town, and said that Xiao Mu bought it, and her grandmother was happy, and when she saw people, she told people that she would put them away after the New Year, and she was reluctant to wear them.

"Did you mean I bought it, or did we buy it?"

"Is there a difference?"

"It's a big difference."

"Yes, I think it's about the same," Gu Yihuai didn't tell Xiao Mu.

"Why are you so skinny, say it quickly."

Gu Yihuai was a little shy, "I said we bought it together." ”

Xiao Mu was very happy, and put his arm around Gu Yihuai's waist with all his might, "What did grandma and everyone say?" ”

"Said that it was bought by the future granddaughter and son-in-law. This time, you're happy. ”

Xiao Mu was still very satisfied with this, and kissed Gu Yihuai's face, "Great." ”

Once school started, everything returned to normal.

Xiao Mu still accompanied Gu Yihuai to class in the morning, and the afternoon was a training session. In the evening, I went to the Northeast restaurant for dinner, and then went back to the training hall to train and study.

Xiao Mu's knee has almost recovered, and the school and hospital have customized a knee brace for him. Now, Xiao Mu can train normally with the whole team, and he can also conduct confrontation training. However, the coach still claimed that Xiao Mu could not participate in the training yet, and the real situation of Xiao Mu was only known to the team and some school leaders.

Everyone is also looking forward to the start of the knockout round, due to Xiao Mu's injury, the second half of the game lost more, and the final ranking was eighth in the South Region, and the first opponent was the opponent of Central South Jiaotong University in the South Region final last year.

CCCC's tactics are mainly positional offense and defense, and the two generals are small forward Liao Jingxing and center Shen Chisong. Liao Jingxing is 204 tall, good at breaking through and shooting, invincible in the world alone, his weakness is that his body is relatively thin, and he likes heads-up, and he is not good at team-up. Shen Chisong is 218 tall, the highest center in the league, no one can defend the hook hand under the basket, and he also has a hand shot, which is generally no one can defend. The two of them are one outside and one inside, can shoot suddenly, can be fast and slow, and beat invincible opponents all over the southern region, and they are the champions of the southern region the year before and the year before last. It's a pity that he lost the two finals, and last year he lost to the Southwest Institute of Technology led by Xiao Mu, and failed to break out of the southern region to enter the finals.

This year, China Jiaotong University saw that Xiao Mu was injured, and there was no opponent in the southern region to stop them, and the whole team was highly motivated, gearing up for the finals.

Coach Li and Xiao Mu also took this situation into account, the first two games were still away, and it must be difficult to play. Coach Li let Xiao Mu not play the first two games, let Meng Ze and them fight for a victory, and then returned to the home court, Xiao Mu played, caught them off guard, and won the game in one fell swoop. Therefore, Coach Li strictly forbade Xiao Mu's injury to be spread. And informed the team members of their tactics, and everyone's training camp during this winter vacation has improved a lot. The tactical execution has improved, the whole team has cooperated more tacitly, the physical strength has also increased, and the confidence has naturally increased. But for the absence of Xiao Mu, let them fight against CCCC, everyone is still a little bottomless.

Coach Li mobilized everyone: "Don't let Xiao Mu play, first, let Xiao Mu have more time to rest and recover, I went to the hospital yesterday for a check-up and took a film, and the doctor still recommends not playing this year, there is a certain risk." But your captain is determined to play the game and must fight with you at the critical moment. So if we can play one more game, he will have more time to recuperate, and the risk will be a little less.

Second, this also depends on the opponent's situation, we have a hole card not out, that is, wait for the most important time to play, then it depends on you, you play well, we can put it at the end and then play, if you see the situation is dangerous, we can let Xiao Mu play at any time.

This year, our goal remains the same, it is still the championship, and you have to have the momentum and confidence of the championship. We have been preparing for this final race for a long time, and it is time for the mules and horses to pull them out. All the teachers and students of the school looked at us, we lost the game last year, but the whole school still held a celebration meeting for us. This year, we are going to really hold a celebration, and we want to hold a perfect celebration. ”
