Chapter 12: The Breeze and the Moon
"Hello!" Wen Yu's father put down the newspaper in his hand and asked Wen Yu's mother, "Is the meal ready?" β
Wen Yu's mother replied, "Okay, okay! Let Wen Yu and her classmates sit! β
Wen Yu's father, who got up from the sofa, was shocked by Xia Wei and Zhong Xiao, the two "little friends", and following the posture of Wen Yu's father standing up, the eyes of the two slowly rose up, and the person in front of him was definitely more than one hundred and ninety centimeters tall! Unlike the tall man who is like a big bamboo pole among ordinary passers-by, Wen Yu's father has a very well-proportioned figure, to be precise, and a little strong!
"Come, come, sit down and eat! I don't know if it's to everyone's taste, usually we don't cook at home, we hire an aunt to come and cook, it's rare to be able to cook, if you don't do it well, don't mind the children! Wen Yu's mother smiled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The chairs and cutlery had already been placed, and the six of them were sitting right together.
Before the dishes were ready, Wen Yu's big eyes were already staring at a plate of fried shrimp, and finally when everyone finished sitting, she picked up the chopsticks and picked up a clear and crystal shrimp and sent it to her mouth. Lu Yue, who was sitting on her right, and Zhong Xiao and Xia Wei opposite were all sitting respectfully.
"Wen Yu, don't you talk about politeness at all?" Wen Yu's mother was a little angry and patted Wen Yu's hand holding chopsticks!
"It's okay! They are all my best classmates! Wen Yu replied to her mother confidently.
"Then you should also introduce your classmates first." The head of the family spoke.
Wen Yu put down his chopsticks, looked at Lu Yue, and said, "Lu Yue often comes to my house, so there is no need to introduce it, right?" β
Then he spread out his right hand and put it in front of Xia Wei and said, "Both of them are my classmates. His name is Xia Wei, the 'Xia' of summer, the great 'Wei'. β
"Hello uncle! Hello Auntie! The shrewd Xia Wei smiled and was polite again. As he spoke, Wen Yu's right hand moved in front of Zhong Xiao: "This is Zhong Xiao, 'Zhong' is Zhong Lingyuxiu's 'Zhong', 'Xiao' is the chic 'Xiao', and he lent me the poncho on Monday." Zhong Xiao thought to herself: The first time I heard someone introduce her surname, she used this beautiful idiom. The corners of his mouth are slightly raised.
"Oh! Are you Zhong Xiao? I used to hear teachers praise you when I had parent-teacher conferences! Wen Yu's mother interjected on the side; continued: "Wen Yu, you have to study hard from Zhong Xiao!" Look at you're biased! Wen Yu's mother will always take the trouble to tell her.
"Got it! Mom, don't keep talking about it, my ears are almost calloused! At noon, I asked him how he improved his grades. Don't believe you ask him! Wen Yu was annoyed, and she pouted a little unhappily.
"Uh-huh, okay! It's your birthday today, we won't mention your shortcomings, let's start eating quickly, the dishes are almost cold. The head of the family spoke again.
β¦β¦
Not to mention that Zhong Xiao and Xia Wei didn't know about Wen Yu's birthday today, even Lu Yue, who had the best relationship with her, didn't remember it. The three of them were stunned, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Xia Wei, who was the most shrewd and least shy, was the first to speak: "You say it in advance, and we'll prepare, no matter what, I wish you a happy birthday first!" After that, Lu Yue and Zhong Xiao also picked up drinks with Xia Wei to bless Wen Yu.
Wen Yu hurriedly explained: "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be in trouble, I just wanted to ask everyone to have dinner together..."
The bell must be tied to the bell, and Wen Yu's words immediately broke the slightly embarrassing atmosphere!
Xia Wei, who was still chewing a mouthful of braised lion's head in his mouth, looked at Wen Yu's father and asked, "Father Wenyu, you are so tall!" Hopefully I'll grow as tall as you! β
"Yes! It would be nice to play basketball at your height! Ha ha! Zhong Xiao said.
"Huh? Do you also like to play basketball? You're still young, you're growing, eat more, you're getting bigger! As he spoke, Wen Yu's father pointed to a table of dishes in front of him with chopsticks and asked them to eat more.
"Haha, I'm afraid you don't know that my dad used to be the main force of the city basketball team, right?" Wen Yu added in an arrogant tone.
"Ahh Yes! Basketball team... City... The basketball team's... Main! "This is the third time that Xia Wei and Zhong Xiao have been shocked when they go to Wen Yu's house!
"That was all in the past, when there were fewer people playing basketball. Now, Yao Ming has joined the NBA, and basketball is becoming more and more popular. Wen Yu's father, who mentioned basketball, seemed to have a lot of tirade to say, and continued after taking a sip of wine: "I was selected to try out for the basketball team because of my height and high jump, and I didn't think that I could make much progress on the road of playing basketball.
"Stop! After drinking a little wine, I talk a lot, and every time I talk about your old past, I have the heart to take care of your girl's grades! Wen Yu put a bowl of soup in front of Wen Yu's father, and interrupted his "speech"!
A table of people are talking and laughing and enjoying this sumptuous dinner...
It's almost half past seven after eating the birthday cake. Entering the door until now, Zhong Xiao has not had time to visit Wen Yu's home, at this time you can take a look around while resting after dinner, Wen Yu's house is obviously relatively spacious and luxurious, in addition to three more stylish bedrooms, there is also an antique study, clean ground and desktop.
Wen Yu's father, who drank some liquor, was a little fluttery, lay on the sofa and turned on the TV, and said: "You can go to the study to surf the Internet if you have nothing to do, I also like to play games when you have nothing to do, and the online games you play are basically available on the computer." β
Wen Yu's father's casualness really made Zhong Xiao and Xia Wei envious, and they were not polite and walked into the study. The most dazzling thing in the whole study room is the trophy display case, where all kinds of trophies and certificates of all sizes are placed in the display case in an orderly manner. Through the transparent glass, there are about ten pieces, all of which are related to some provincial and municipal basketball games, and when the time is calculated, almost all of them were obtained by Wen Yu's father before he was thirty years old. They also saw Wen Yu's father's name for the first time - Wen Zhendong.
At the same time that Zhong Xiao and Xia Wei turned on the computer, Wen Yu and Lu Yue ran to the room and took a box of brand-new "Monopoly" chess and put it in front of them: "You guys play with the computer, what are we doing?" Get out and play chess! β
In this way, the two who were still struggling to register whose number first were "invited" out of the study. The careful Wen Yu took out four mats and put them on the clean wooden floor, unfolded the chess cloth, carefully arranged the props, and the four people also sat cross-legged on the mats in turn.
Wenyu's mother, who had washed the dishes, walked to the balcony and opened the window, a gust of early summer breeze hit, not in a hurry or impatient, I can't wait to bring the beautiful moonlight outside the window, blowing away the drowsiness after being full of wine and food. On the balcony, there is Wen Yu's mother who is packing her clothes, Wen Yu's father on the sofa in the living room is quietly tuning the TV, and the four junior high school students on the floor are carefree and immersed in the virtual world.
"This is CCTV, CCTV!" Love basketball, no reason', I'm xx, I'm xx, this is "Basketball Park" every Friday night..."The host on TV is broadcasting the show with passionate background music.
Since being attracted to a basketball magazine last week, the bits and pieces about basketball have attracted Zhong Xiao's thirst for knowledge the most. What's more, usually at home, the only TV is still in the parents' room, and the control of the remote control is naturally also with the parents, and the most frequently watched program is "News Network". During prime time on Friday night, Zhong Xiao's parents, who are not interested in sports events, will never watch a show like "Basketball Park". Tonight, Zhong Xiao can be regarded as having met, this is the first time he has watched "Basketball Park", and the first time he knows that there is this show about basketball every Friday night, and at this moment he is like a cat that has tasted fishy!
"Hey! It's your turn to roll the dice! Why is it like a stunned person, and the reaction is so slow! Xia Wei pushed the absent-minded Zhong Xiao.
"Oh."
The hands showing the time walked regularly on the wall above the TV, and at the end of the game, Zhong Xiao was the first to "go bankrupt" and be out!
"Haha! You're also so unlucky that you're out so quickly. Wen Yu felt sorry for Zhong Xiao. Zhong Xiaoxun adjusted his sitting posture, let himself face the TV screen, and secretly rejoiced: I can watch TV with peace of mind! Wen Yu's father on the sofa also saw Zhong Xiao's thoughts, and deliberately turned up the volume of the TV!
"Audience friends! I'm Yu Jia, are you ready? Here are the top 10 NBA goals of the week!!! The voice on the TV made Zhong Xiao very excited, staring at the two little eyes and waiting for the wonderful picture that was about to be presented!
"The tenth goal, come and see Carter of the New Jersey Nets receive a pass from his teammate Kidd, and there is a thunder on the ground!" The TV screen reads: The Nets steal the fast break, Kidd passes the ball to Carter who follows up in the middle on the weak side, and the latter ends the offense with a one-handed powerful basket!
βWOWοΌβ couldn't help but be excited, Zhong Xiao shouted! The three classmates who didn't know what was going on and Wen Yu's mother looked at Zhong Xiao, but Wen Yu's father still looked at the TV calmly and just smiled.
"What are you doing! Are you really stunned? Suddenly a shout startled me! Xia Wei looked at the embarrassed Zhong Xiao with disdain.
"I watched "Watching the Ball Park"! Carter's dunk just now was so exciting! Look, now play back in slow motion! Zhong Xiao motioned for Xia Wei to watch TV as well.
"OMG!! Handsome! I didn't expect Xia Wei's reaction to be even more "excessive" than Zhong Xiao! Xia Wei clapped his hands excitedly!
The two girls didn't think so, and Lu Yue said in her usual slow speaking rhythm: "Xia Wei, you are in 'prison'..."
Look at the chess game, everyone is happy! The spring breeze continues to blow, the chess game continues, and the top ten balls continue to play.
"The Goal of the Week came from Josh. Smith, from blocks to dunks, defense to offense! Josh. Smith is using his actions to show his opponent what a true all-rounder is! The top ten goals of passion have passed, but Zhong Xiao is still unable to extricate himself in the world of basketball!
After "Basketball Park" ended, Wen Yu's father lowered the volume of the TV and said, "Zhong Xiao, you also like basketball?" β
"Uh-huh, I like it, but I've just started getting started with it recently!" Zhong Xiao immediately answered Wen Yu's father's question.
"Do you usually play basketball? Or do you just like to watch a basketball game? β
"I also just played some time ago, and I just learned to make a three-step layup, hehe!" Zhong Xiao, who was a little excited, seemed to be waiting for the guidance of the master in front of him.
"Uncle Wen, Zhong Xiao's shooting is accurate!" Xia Wei, who didn't want to take him to play chess, also pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two of them.
"Oh? Is it? Where do you play? β
"I can shoot when no one is defending, and some time ago Xia Wei took me to the Normal College to play twice!" Zhong Xiao replied.
Although Zhong Xiao can feel that his shooting ability is outstanding, he still maintains the modesty and low-key he should in front of his predecessors and in front of Wen Yu's father. Xia Wei, who was single-minded, smiled secretly on the floor. Looking at the situation of the chess game on the floor, Xia Wei and Wen Yu's "inventory" is already very few.
......
βGAMEOVERοΌβ The final winner of this game was Lu Yue. A humming sound came from the clock on the television, the hour hand pointing to nine, and the minute to twelve.
Zhong Xiao stood up abruptly and said, "It's nine o'clock, I have to go home!" If you go back late, you'll be scolded! Xia Wei also signaled that he should go back. At the same time as they got up, Wen Yu's father also got up from the sofa, walked up to Zhong Xiao and Xia Wei, and said, "If you have time tomorrow afternoon, go to the indoor stadium of the Normal College to play, I have a basketball training class in it!" β
