Extra chapter (2) The happiness I want - Mao Xianyong

What is the happiness I want,

Suddenly, tears welled up in my eyes,

Thinking of my grandparents, parents and parents at that time,

10,000 pampered me,

My sister who just got to my waist,

Chasing me with his little feet,

I was still running and waiting for the ridicule,

Do the crops of my hometown remember me?

In the spring, there are queues for sowing and fertilizing,

Autumn is full of harvest,

When night falls,

We're tired and we're lying on the wagon pulling firewood,

Counting the stars is so pleasant,

now

Such happiness and joy are gone like smoke,

and as if at hand,

When you reach out to touch,

but they have weathered into sand......

Two years ago, a small mountain village was located around Jinling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

“1234! 1234! The neat slogan of ......" came from the only paved path in the small mountain village, and a group of basketball players dressed in China Southern Airlines No. 1 Middle School ran to the vicinity of a basketball court that had just been built in the village. In addition to a few large trees to cool off the bare playground, only the field remained, and the scorching heat floated in the air.

"Settle, disband! Free & easy! A tall young man who appeared to be the captain of the basketball team of China Southern Airlines No. 1 Middle School shouted.

"Zhou Chenlin, are you still used to it here?" A middle-aged man and the basketball captain named Zhou Chenlin found a shade to sit under a tree.

"Coach Yang, it's far away from the city, there is no temptation, there is no wifi, it is very suitable for our quiet training." Zhou Chenlin replied.

"Haha, it's a pity that some people don't think so." The middle-aged man replied slowly.

Sure enough, the players of China Southern Airlines No. 1 Middle School, who were sitting on the shady ground not far away, began to complain; "What a, I don't have a mobile phone signal." "I'm dying of heat, I really miss the chilled watermelon at home." "Look, there are pheasants in this barren mountain and wild place." ......

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"They complained, but they trained hard, and this year we're sure to get a ticket to the national competition so you don't have to go."

"Oh ha." The middle-aged man's hearty laughter attracted the attention of several players sitting nearby, "I won't change this decision, I hope that in my last year of coaching, China Southern Airlines No. 1 Middle School can get a national ticket." ”

This tall young man named Zhou Chenlin is the captain of the basketball team of China Southern Airlines No. 1 Middle School, and he is already in his third year of high school this year, and he only has one last chance to participate in the basketball game. The middle-aged man who spoke to him is named Yang Xiang, the coach of China Southern Airlines No. 1 Middle School, and after this year's basketball game, he will officially retire from the position of coach and go to other schools to work. The reason for leaving the post is said to be because he never entered the national competition when he was in office, but in fact, I heard that the reason was that the coach was forced to leave because he had a strong personality and offended the school leaders.

On the empty court, the scorching sun scorched the concrete floor on the field, and when the players were not training, a tall boy and a young girl came to the field.

"Come, Yingzi, vote for one." A farmer-like boy smiled and walked with the girl to the basket and gave the ball to the little girl who was only up to his waist. After receiving the ball, the little girl's eyes smiled like a crescent moon and let out a cute "giggle" laugh.

"What a tall lad." Yang Xiang looked at the boy standing on the court, and couldn't help but make a comparison with the team's center Gao Peng, feeling that his height had reached 1.95 meters.

The little girl threw it hard, and because of her short stature and small strength, the ball fell far from the basket and fell into the hands of the boy standing under the basket.

"Yingzi, make it harder, my brother will help you guard under the basket." The boy encouraged his sister.

"Good!" After a crisp sound, the little girl picked up the ball and put it back, "Hey! The ball was pushed out, although the ball used a lot of force, but because the direction of the shot was wrong, the ball did not fly high just now, but flew far away.

"Oops!" The ball thrown by the little girl hit the foot of Gao Peng, who was sitting on the edge of the court.

"Where did the little village girl come from! Still playing such a bad basketball, the skin is gone! Gao Peng picked up the basketball, ignored the little girl in front of him who was about to catch the ball with open hands, and threw the ball out of the little girl's head and threw it far away.

There was a burst of laughter from the resting players.

The little girl's eyes slowly turned red, and tears began to roll in her eyes, but they never flowed.

"Hey, what are you doing!" The little girl's brother ran over, hugged his sister, and shouted angrily at Gao Peng.

"What? Are you not convinced? Gao Peng stood up from the ground, and his height of 2.02 was half a head taller than the already very tall boy.

The boy glared at Gao Peng angrily, the little girl wiped her tears, gently tugged the corner of the boy's clothes with her hand, and whispered: "Brother, Yingzi is no longer playing, let's go." ”

The boy let go of his clenched fist, glared at Gao Peng fiercely, and turned around to leave with his sister. As soon as he picked up the basketball that was thrown away, Gao Peng's voice came from behind him: "Hahaha, coward, hurry up and go home and farm, that's where you and your sister should stay." ”

The boy's fists clenched again, turned around, and slowly walked in front of Gao Peng, the brave momentum made Gao Peng can't help but put away the arrogance on his face.

The boy looked at Gao Peng's jersey, grabbed the basketball with one hand, held it up in front of Gao Peng, and said coldly: "I went head-to-head with you, you lost, apologize to my sister." ”

Gao Peng smiled confidently, stretched out the index finger of his right hand and pointed at the boy's nose: "If I lose, you can learn to bark, if you lose, take off your pants and run around the village." ”

"Hahaha!" The players next to him let out another burst of laughter, apparently not believing that their team's main center forward would lose to a redneck.

Gao Peng picked up the basketball next to him and walked to the court, threw the ball to the boy standing on the sidelines, and said with some contempt: "Your ball is too bad, with this, you can attack three goals, and if you can score one goal, you win." ”

The boy stared blankly at the basketball in his hand, stroked it a few times, and his eyes flashed with a strange light. Coach Yang Xiang on the sidelines saw the scene on the court and couldn't help but be attracted by the light in the boy's eyes, what a longing look.

The boy held the ball and rushed to the basket, and threw the ball directly in front of Gao Peng without any feints, "Smack!" A loud cap sound, and the ball thrown by the boy was slapped out of the field by Gao Peng.

"Hahaha." The players on the sidelines erupted in laughter again.

"Second ball." Facing the boy who picked up the ball and stood in the middle circle again, Gao Peng shouted contemptuously again.

"Drink!" With a loud shout, the boy still rushed to the basket with the ball as he did last time, but this time the boy jumped high and threw the ball higher than the highest point of the ball he threw last time.

"Drink!" With another shout, Gao Peng roared and jumped up, barely touching the lower edge of the basketball he had just thrown with his fingers, and the ball changed its trajectory and hit the front of the basket and landed outside the basket.

There was no more ridicule on the sidelines, and the boys' amazing bounce made them stunned, including Gao Peng, who was confronting the boys on the court, and he struggled to block just when he happened to touch the basketball, which also contained an element of luck. On the other hand, with only one ball apart, the boy's bounce seemed to change as if he had changed into a person, which was simply terrifying.

Gao Peng took a good defensive posture and waited intently for the boy's third goal.

The boy stood in the middle circle, not in a hurry to attack, he put the ball on the ground, and slowly took off his vest, revealing a pair of strong muscles and a dark body that had been working in the sun for a long time. Picking up the ball again, Gao Peng unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Ah~~!" As the boy accelerated and sprinted, Gao Peng seemed to see a moving tank rushing towards him, and his instinctive reaction was to dodge, but because he had just boasted about Haikou, he could only fight the boy in the air.

"Boom~~!" With a loud bang, Gao Peng sat on the ground and looked at the boy hanging from the basket in surprise, and he didn't have time to react to what had just happened.

"Brother is so good!" The little girl cried out happily when she saw the boy win.

After the boy fell from the basket, he was still at a loss to look at the basketball that was still playing on the ground.

"Good shot!" Coach Yang Xiang on the side and Zhou Chenlin, the captain of the team of China Southern Airlines No. 1 Middle School, also blurted out involuntarily.

Yang Xiang walked up to the boy's side and asked with a smile, "What's your name, how old are you this year, and do you like to play basketball?" ”

When the boy saw Coach Yang Xiang's amiable smile, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and replied, "My name is Mao Xianyong, and I am 16 years old this year. Then he said with a very determined expression, "I love playing basketball very, very much. ”

......

In the evening at Mao Xianyong's home, Coach Yang Xiang and Zhou Chenlin sat on two separate low stools, and a few benches were placed in front of the low table next to them, sitting on Mao Xianyong's grandparents and parents, while Mao Xianyong stood nervously aside, and Yingzi leaned closely on Mao Xianyong's side, the only light bulb in the room emitted a dim light, but reflected everyone's clear faces.

Mao Xianyong's father spoke first: "Since there is a scholarship, I think our baby can try, it's better than staying in the village for the rest of his life." ”

Mao Xianyong's mother also nodded and said, "Coach Yang, we believe what you say, and our family Xianyong will ask you to take care of it more in the future." ”

Yang Xiang looked at the expectant expressions of Mao Xianyong's parents and nodded solemnly.

......

At the entrance of the village, Yingzi sent Mao Xianyong far away and was reluctant to go back, Mao Xianyong stroked Yingzi's head and said: "Good, Yingzi, when my brother becomes a basketball player in the future, he will earn a lot of money, and he will definitely buy you a lot of gifts when the time comes." ”

Yingzi nodded with red eyes, and when Mao Xianyong walked a long way, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Brother, Yingzi will help with the farm work at home, you can rest assured that you can play well." ”

The man didn't flick when he had tears, Mao Xianyong finally left tears of excitement, and in the distance, Yingzi's figure had been standing there for a long time.

What is the happiness I want?

All I want to be happy is to hope that my family is doing well.
