went back to the sports store to say hello to Uncle Long, and Zhang Yi returned home.

Mother Liu Lanzhi had already prepared a meal for him, but Zhang Yi didn't eat much.

Since childhood, my mother thought that although Zhang Yi was big, the amount of food was small.

But she didn't know that every night, Zhang Yi would jump out of the window on time to go to Uncle Long's place to add food, and he ate nutritious meals specially prepared for athletes.

This night, she sat on the other side of the dinner table and looked at Zhang Yi. The strange gaze made Zhang Yi a little uncomfortable.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Zhang Yi touched his hair, "Do you think your son is more handsome?" ”

Liu Lanzhi smiled lightly, "Yes, my son has been handsome since he was a child!" ”

Zhang Yi burst out laughing when he heard this, thinking that the woman who would praise himself for being handsome might be the only one in the world.

She suddenly remembered that she couldn't remember when her child started working and studying.

Zhang Yi never told her about working outside. Every time he asked, Zhang Yi would only say that the boss was very good and a serious part-time job.

"Tell me about where you work. Is it a store? Mom asked with interest.

"Yes, they sell sporting goods." Zhang Yi put down the dishes and chopsticks and replied seriously.

He understands his mother's thoughts, and naturally, today Zhang Yi is also ready for a showdown with his mother.

Liu Lanzhi nodded, because it was similar to what she expected, "So you've been playing basketball behind my back all the time?" ”

"Hmm. It's been almost seven years. Zhang Yi said with some embarrassment.

There was a hint of displeasure on Mom's face, but she immediately calmed down.

"So your decision to play in the United States is true?"

"Yes!" Zhang Yi's answer was categorical.

One is the word, which makes Liu Lanzhi's mood complicated, Zhang Yi has always been the whole world in her heart.

Once upon a time, she even felt that she was the happiest mother in the world, because she had the most sensible and protective son!

She recalled that when her son was very young, he had a fight with his neighbor's uncle for a small loss......

And now, is he going to choose to leave him like his husband, Liu Lanzhi looked a little dazed.

"What if I don't agree? I should say, I just don't agree! ”

Liu Lanzhi suddenly stood up and said emotionally.

Zhang Yi also stood up and said with a firm gaze.

"I know you'll disagree, but there's a place I'd like you to see!"

Liu Lanzhi was stunned for a moment, then watched her son walk past her, put on his shoes and said back to her.

"Mom, come with me, it's not far."

She followed her son out of the house, and they barely spoke all the way.

"We're here!" Zhang Long slammed the store's roller shutter door three times.

Liu Lanzhi looked up and saw that the store logo was Long Kee Sporting Goods Store.

She didn't expect that the place where her son had been working part-time was so close to her home.

Suddenly, a man's heavy voice came from inside, "Why did the stinky boy come here so early today?" The meal is not ready yet! ”

I saw Uncle Long, who looked like a giant, wearing a small apron, and opened the closed roller shutter door from the inside.

It's just that it is not only the time when Zhang Yi appeared, but also the fact that there is a woman who looks to be in her forties behind him.

It's not beautiful but it's very dignified, there's no makeup on his face, and he doesn't dress up anything, but a pair of big eyes just can't take his eyes off it.

Uncle Long instantly understood that this woman was Zhang Yi's mother.

"Hello, ma'am. I'm the manager of this store, and I'm Zhang Yi's kid's basketball teacher, sort of. ”

Wang Lung took off his apron as he spoke, he thought to himself why Zhang Yi didn't say anything in advance, which made the atmosphere so embarrassing now.

"Uncle Long, this is my mother."

After the introduction, Zhang Yi grabbed his mother's shoulders with one hand and pushed Uncle Long into the store with the other.

Liu Lanzhi simply glanced at the goods on display, with more basketball supplies, and carefully examined this man with a scruffy beard who was much taller than his son.

"Mom, I actually don't eat a lot of food."

As he spoke, Zhang Yi led her to the table with seven or eight dishes in the backyard.

"Although your cooking is very delicious, I can only eat a little bit a day... Uncle Long prepared nutritious meals for me that meet the high-intensity training of athletes..."

After all, Liu Lanzhi's husband is a sports reporter, so she still understands that the diet of athletes is different from ordinary people.

But suddenly his son said that he was secretly eating these things every day, and it was from the hands of a rough man, Liu Lanzhi couldn't believe it for a while.

"Is that so, ma'am, would you like to hear us explain?"

After listening to Uncle Long's words, the anger in Liu Lanzhi's heart, which had been suppressed, suddenly broke out.

She shouted at the strange man, "I don't listen to your explanation, who the hell are you?" Why should you let him practice basketball? I don't allow it! ”

Uncle Long and Zhang Yi were stunned at the same time, a woman's sudden outburst may be more terrifying than the anger of a wicked man.

"Madam, my name is Wang Long, and I am a former basketball player..."Uncle Long replied.

"Wang Lung! It's the same Wang Long who played in the NBA! Liu Lanzhi reacted suddenly, with an incredible expression!

"Well, it's me..." Wang Lung didn't look half proud, on the contrary, his face was gloomy.

"Then you are the half-murderer of my husband! Why did you make that incident, what a happy family we would have without that......"

Liu Lanzhi's face was raining down tears at the moment.

For more than ten years, Zhang Yi has never seen his mother cry, she has always been a strong woman, and he also believes that he has inherited this.

After hearing this, Zhang Yi's face turned pale, and his mother never told him about his father's previous work and how he died.

Although, Zhang Yi knew everything very early.

He also resented for a while, but everyone has their own lives, and his father's death not only did not stop Zhang Yi's determination to embark on the road of basketball, but also strengthened his belief in basketball!

Uncle Long was in a heavy mood, he blamed himself for the death of Zhang Yi's father, and grieved for the unfortunate woman in front of him.

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point at this moment.

Zhang Yi's voice suddenly broke the cold silence.

"Is sports journalism a job where you can risk your life? Apparently not! ”

"But I think Dad will not have half a complaint until he dies, because he sacrificed for the basketball he loves, and he made the chaotic basketball world go to the right track, Dad, he maintained the basketball holy land with his life!"

"A love that can give up even life! This is a point of respect for your sir, and at this point, I also lost to him as an incompetent basketball player! Wang Lung continued Zhang Yi's words.

"I inherited not only the regrets of Uncle Long's career, but also my father's love for basketball." Tears also hung on the corners of Zhang Yi's eyes.

Liu Lanzhi's excited mood calmed down a little.

"Mom, do you know how excited I feel every time I secretly ask my father's former colleagues how he usually plays and how he likes basketball?"

Zhang Yi said as he grabbed the T-shirt on his chest.

"I haven't met him, or I don't have the slightest memory of him."

"But every time I touch the basketball, I feel like I can see him on the court, which makes me sure that my father is real too!"

"Basketball is the only bond between our father and son!" For the first time, Zhang Yi buried his head on his mother's shoulder and sobbed like a child.

"Laneige, I have been admitted to Dagong Sports! From now on, I'm officially a basketball journalist! Hahaha! ”

"Laneige, I interviewed Wang Lung! It's the Chinese who I'm telling you about the super strong, or our Yunhua fellow, haha! ”

"Mom, look at my goal! Although I can't deduct the blue, our future children will definitely be able to! ”

Liu Lanzhi's eyes flashed fragments of her husband's life with her.

didn't be silent for too long, Liu Lanzhi raised her son's stubborn face, wiped away tears for him, and then said.

"I know, Yi'er, you go, go to the United States! Inherit your father's love and fulfill his unfulfilled dream..."

Once, Liu Lanzhi thought that only her husband was so obsessed with basketball.

Now, looking at her son, this woman understands that it turns out that hot-blooded men are all stupid!
