Zhang Guangyue let me not have to worry about locking the door, the hot pot restaurant downstairs will only close for the New Year in a week, and then let the staff downstairs help lock the iron chain upstairs.

The next day, other teammates and coaches said goodbye one after another, dragging a big suitcase home for the New Year, but I learned a sad news, because of the tight logistics before the holiday, my express delivery had to be delayed for another day. I told my parents about this sad news, but fortunately, there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year, and it is completely too late to rush back before the New Year.

I walked around the city during the day to buy souvenirs that I could take home as gifts. When I returned to the base at night with a large bag and a small bag, I was surprised to find that the lights were still on in the training room. When I went upstairs to take a look, I saw that everyone else had left, but Xie Liuying was still playing games in front of the computer.

Me: "Why haven't you left yet?" ”

Xie Liuying: "I'm waiting for you." ”

Me: "I'm serious. ”

Xie Liuying: "I'll leave in two days, I didn't buy a ticket to go back a few days ago." ”

She didn't look at me when she said this, her eyes still on the game screen on the computer screen, and she seemed a little absent-minded.

I suddenly realized one thing, the Spring Festival is a good festival for everyone, I can go back to City C, which I think about day and night, and see my parents who I haven't seen for a long time. Invite three or five friends to have a hot pot or skewers, everything is familiar and beautiful. But that doesn't seem to be the case for Xie Liuying.

According to what she told me before, her grandparents, who were close to her, have passed away and she has disowned her parents. Even if she had some friends when she was a student, her friends were no better than her family after all, and she seemed to be used to being alone on the days of this family reunion. Compared with others, she naturally didn't look forward to going home so much.

I sat down in the gaming chair next to her, pondered what I was going to say next, and then said, "Do you have any fun and delicious food at home?" ”

Xie Liuying: "The food is okay, and the play is average." ”

Me: "Can I play with you in the future?" ”

Xie Liuying: "Aren't you going to come back to train after the year?" How can you play kung fu? "She still didn't look at me and seemed really focused on the game.

Me: "No, I mean I'll go around the fourth day of the new year, play until the Lantern Festival, and then let's go back to the base together." ”

Xie Liuying finally put down the game in her hand and looked at me suspiciously: "You came in the fourth year of junior high school?" Then your family will not have an opinion? I only went back once in half a year, and I didn't have to stay for a few days before leaving. ”

Me: "I'll discuss it, it shouldn't be too difficult." ”

Xie Liuying seemed to see my intentions: "You don't have to worry too much about me, haven't you all been like this all these years?" Besides, I have a lot of friends in my hometown, so I may not have time to receive you. ”

I knew she was being stubborn, so I ignored it and called my mom straight away, hoping to get her permission.

I talked about the matter in general, but I just said that there was no one in Xie Liuying's family, and the Spring Festival would be spent alone, but as for the details of the reason, I didn't explain it, and my mother tacitly didn't ask more. I heard that I was going to Y City in the fourth year of junior high school, and my mother on the phone seemed a little irritable.

"What are you doing? The fourth day of the Lunar New Year? Will you be a human being? How did your dad and I teach you on weekdays? ”

"No, Mom, listen to me......"

Xie Liuying saw that I was embarrassed and tried to explain on the phone, but it seemed that the communication was not going well, so he spread his hands and signaled that I didn't have to work in vain.

Mother: "Tell me about you, you only went on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year?" Isn't that little girl going to spend Chinese New Year's Eve alone? Well? ”

Me: "......"

Mom: "Why don't you speak?" It's not right for you to do that. ”

Me: "So what do you say?" ”

Mom: "What should I do?" It's too simple, you brought her back to celebrate the New Year with our family, you also said, there is no one in her family, and the New Year with our family is lively, how good. ”

“…… This is not appropriate, "I peeked at Xie Liuying, "What is the relationship between taking it home for the New Year, we haven't reached that point yet." And people have to go home to see friends and old classmates or something. ”

Mother: "You don't come, what do you mean you haven't reached that step?" Oh, you also know that she still has friends and old classmates, such a good girl, you don't make the first move, what if someone else's old classmate takes the lead? ”

Me: "Where is this, we e-sports players try not to fall in love, it will affect the results, what is the first step, you think too much." ”

Xie Liuying put down her headphones and looked at me with interest, as if my conversation with my mother had aroused her interest. At this moment, I thought I was still young, and I had an epiphany that should only be understood in ten years - how did the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law come about?

In fact, in most families, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law do not have any direct conflict of interest, but the man caught in the middle has a relatively low emotional intelligence, and he does not think twice when acting as a mouthpiece:

"My mom said the clothes you bought last time were too expensive and a waste of money."

"Mom, XXX said that she has no time to take care of the child recently, please help."

……

In this way, the contradictions between the two sides have intensified.

And now, my mother is on the other end of the phone, and Xie Liuying is on the other end of the phone. Fortunately, my mother on the other end of the phone seemed to understand whether the so-called twisted melon was not sweet, so she said: "Okay, I won't force you, next year, next year you must bring it back, do you understand?" ”

Me: "Uh...... Can't we wait until I retire? ”

Mom: "Don't think too much about yourself, why did you squirm when you invited a friend to play at home for a few days?" Yuntian, that kid and you, your other fox friends and dog friends, have you come to our house to play less since you were a child? ”

Me: "Okay, yes, I'll do my best." ”

Hanging up the phone, I looked at Xie Liuying: "I came to you on the fourth day of junior high school, so it's decided." ”

Xie Liuying: "You can't live without me, you have to come to me, it's none of my business." ”

Me: "Yes, yes, it's none of your business, it's all my hot face sticking to your cold ass." ”

She pouted, "It's good that you know." ”

A few days later, as the plane landed, I finally saw the familiar pandas, bamboo forests, hot pots and other elements at the airport. Growing up, I had never left my hometown for such a long time, and this time, in order to pursue my career dream, I left for half a year.

And when I came back this time, I was also treated like a hero, my parents didn't come to pick me up at the airport, they came by car in Yuntian. At the same time, he asked several friends from his teenage years to pick me up. Although "Book Title" is not good now, it is also a memory for many people back then, and I became a professional player, and won four consecutive victories on the first stage, which is indeed something worth bragging about to my friends.
