Liu Zhenhua arrived at the unit early in the morning, and after picking up today's newspaper in the mailroom, he began to tidy up the office. Today's young people, as soon as it is time to get off work, they disappear, and the documents on the table are so scattered, not to mention tidying up. Lao Liu sighed with a smile while cleaning up, and looked up at the winter morning sun shining from the window, it's the end of the year, after he retires in the spring, these little cubs have to learn to clean up by themselves!

After cleaning the office, Lao Liu carried two red kettles and prepared to change the boiling water used in the morning. As soon as I walked to the door, I was greeted by a young girl with a ponytail. "Director Liu, you're so early today!" The ponytail said hello with a big grin, took out an oil cake bought from the breakfast stall outside the door from his bag, and shook it in front of Lao Liu, "Director Liu, do you want one?" ”

"This thing is so greasy! You young people eat wow! Lao Liu shook his head with a smile and went out with a kettle. When he returned, he saw Ponytail with oil cake in his mouth, turning the desk in front of her into a mess.

"Xiao Kong! Look at you, I just cleaned up the table for you, how did you make it like this in a while! Lao Liu counted the ponytail girl surnamed Kong like a father blaming his child.

Xiao Kong replied vaguely: "It's not like you were in a hurry to ask me for the league list yesterday!" You said the league is going to be soon, let me quickly sort out these things, they got it done yesterday afternoon, and they forgot to send it to you, and now they are looking for it! ”

"Oh? Got it all done? Then you hurry up and find it, and if you find it, send it to me as soon as possible! After making himself a cup of new tea, he put the hot water kettle back on the shelf, returned to his seat with the teacup, and anxiously waited for the report sent by Xiao Kong.

The kind old man in front of us is Liu Zhenhua, the director of the Qingshan Basketball Association. Twenty years ago, after the Basketball Association was separated from the Sports Committee and became an independent organization, Liu Zhenhua has been presiding over the work of the Basketball Association. This old man dedicated the most precious 20 years of his life to the development of basketball in Qingshan, although he did not achieve any earth-shattering achievements, but it is precisely because of his efforts for so many years that there will be a booming basketball market in Qingshan City.

I don't know if I deliberately delayed eating the oil cake before I came, or if I really looked for it for so long. In Lao Liu's anticipation, Xiao Kong came over with a piece of paper, "Oh, Director Liu, this is the league list you want!" He handed over the paper in his hand, maybe he was too full for breakfast, Xiao Kong burped slightly, and unceremoniously picked up the teacup on the director's table and took a big sip, so that his stomach felt a little more comfortable.

"Drink slowly, beware of the heat!" Xiao Kong was like his daughter in Lao Liu's eyes, and when he saw that she would drink hot tea and cow, he couldn't help but admonish. Sure enough, the freshly boiled water scalded the little girl's teeth.

On a piece of A4 paper, there were only a few names, but Lao Liu could see that he was surprisingly serious, pinched the paper and pondered for a while, frowned, picked up the pen and wrote something on it.

"Xiao Kong! We have held the league in Qingshan for so many years, and it will always be these teams, so what's the point of comparing it! Like this Renmin Road Primary School and Feiyang Club, people have been beaten by big scores year after year, so there is no need to arrange them for such a team! Lao Liu handed the list back to Xiao Kong, and Xiao Kong saw that he had a big red cross behind the Feiyang Club and Renmin Road Primary School, and the scores of the last two years were also recorded in detail.

"Director Liu, if these two teams are not allowed to participate, we only have six teams to play, how to arrange this competition system? Is there going to be a bye for two teams? Xiao Kong was also serious when talking about work, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "It's okay to have a bye!" Just let the champion team Panthers have a bye, and the other place will be drawn by the remaining five teams! Wouldn't that be even more exciting! ”

"Stimulate your size!" Lao Liu laughed angrily at her, leaned back in the chair, and suddenly looked a little depressed, "This is my last league." Eight teams, we've been holding on for 20 years, and I don't want to see it reduced to six in my last year, and I don't want it to become four, or two, and then slowly disappear! ”

Xiao Kong looked at Director Liu who was slumped in the chair, he has been following him since he graduated and was admitted to the civil service, although he usually has times when he is strict with himself, but how can he not feel the old director's love for young people? Although everyone has avoided talking about the retirement of the director in the office, it seems that the director is indeed old.

"No, it won't! Our Qingshan league can only become more and more lively in the future, and it will definitely not be without! Xiao Kong secretly wiped his damp eyes, "Director, don't worry, this year is still eight teams competing, and I will go with Daqi to find other teams in a while." I don't believe it, our Qingshan is playing basketball so well now, and we can't find two teams that can play! ”

As he was talking, the young man named Da Qi from Xiao Kongkou came in whistling, "Ouch! Today is the last time I'll arrive! Director, Xiao Kong, morning! ”

"You're early!" Xiao Kong learned Lao Liu's tone just now and scolded Da Qi, "Why don't you come a little later, we can just go to lunch!" ”

"Hey! Sister Kong, what you said makes sense! Then it's decided, you tell me where to eat at noon tomorrow, and I'll go directly to the restaurant at noon to meet you! Da Qi is quite thick-skinned, and he didn't forget to joke with her.

Xiao Kong glared at him, handed him the list in his hand, and said, "Don't be poor, there is something important today!" The director has an order to change the two teams that draw the red cross this year! ”

Daqi picked up the list and took a cursory look, and said nonchalantly: "It's not simple, last year we established a new primary school in our city, which is full of children of foreigners, there must be people who love to play ball in this little foreigner, just let their school participate!" It can also promote our friendship between China and foreign countries, hehe! ”

"Huh? That's a great idea! Director Liu, we have never had such an international competition in the history of Tsingshan, and it is also a kind of attempt and progress for this school to join in! Xiao Kong thought it was good when he heard it, and quickly turned his head and proposed to Director Liu.

"Well, well, Daqi's brain is lively, I also think this is a good idea, then you can discuss it with others later, and see if they can participate!" Director Liu also felt that Daqi's idea was good, so he couldn't stop nodding his head and praise, and didn't forget to count the small holes, "Xiaokong, you should learn more from other Daqi!" ”

"What do you do with him? Learn from him to be late and leave early? Xiao Kong was not convinced at all, and when he saw Daqi's complacent face after being praised, he was angry and said, "This is only one team, and there is another, where to find it?" ”

"Huh! There are two teams in total, I solved one, and the other should be your task, Sister Kong, think about it yourself! Da Qi shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Damn fellow!" Xiao Kong's teeth rattled loudly, but he was also worried, and fell into deep thought: "Where can I find the rest of this team?" ”

"Jingle bell-" The office phone rang to break the short silence, Director Liu picked it up, and an old voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Hello? This phone number is still not from the Basketball Association? ”
