Lianfeng basketball team's victory over the strongest team of Zhennan Middle School, although this news is not a national sensation, it can also be said to be a buzz in D City.

Therefore, within two months, He Qizheng had already received invitations from no less than twenty middle schools to fight, and in the face of so many challengers, of course Ning Chen could not agree to all of them, so the former, as the spokesperson of the Lianfeng team, could only choose some of the strongest schools in the city to compete.

However, even against these top teams, Ning Chen and the others still swept them with a devastating momentum as always, and as of now, the Lianfeng team has won all 8 games, proud of the middle school basketball world in D City. But just when no one could stop their pace of advancement, an invitation had to let Ning Chen leave the team temporarily.

On the last day of 1988, at night, the weather was very cold, Ning Chen finished his training at Linhan Middle School as usual, and ran home in a casual Nike tracksuit, yes, this set of sportswear was specially bought by his father Ning Haibo yesterday for half a month's salary, saying that it was a gift for his 9th birthday.

The clothes are new, but the shoes Ning Chen is wearing are still the pair of domestic children's basketball shoes called "Huili" that Ye Zhijie bought for him more than two years ago. Since the former wears it every day these days to either run or compete, even if the quality of this pair of "pullback" shoes is passable, it can't withstand his destruction, as evidenced by the few small openings in the heel.

Finally returned home, Ning Chen stood in front of the door, and just as he wanted to take the key to open the door by himself, he suddenly heard several unfamiliar voices from inside the house, "Is there a thief?" Oops! Mom and Dad, they're not going to have an accident, right? ”

When Ning Chen was thinking nonsense, Ning Haibo's laughter dispelled his guess in time, "Hehe! A few have won the prize, how can you say so well about dogs? ”

Hearing his father's voice, Ning Chen's heart immediately calmed down, but then he became curious, who would come to his home at this time? Thinking about it, he opened the door.

In the hall, as soon as he heard the sound of the door, Ning Haibo immediately said happily: "It must be Xiao Chen who is back!" ”

Before the words fell, Ning Chen appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and at this time, the former also began to look at the two men standing next to his father, and after seeing their appearances, Ning Chen immediately recognized the two from the memories of his previous life.

They are all from Lianfeng Village, and the slightly short middle-aged man is called Zhou Jingsheng, who is the head of the village; And another taller young man is called Xu Dehai, this person Ning Chen is very familiar with in the past, because his identity is the captain of the Lianfeng Village basketball team, and Ning Chen in his previous life also grew up watching him play.

"Little friend! You are Ning Chen, a talented basketball child who has become popular recently, right? Uncle, I am the head of the village, do you know uncle? ”

Seeing that the protagonist he had been waiting for for a long time was finally back, Zhou Jingsheng hurriedly greeted Ning Chen happily, and the latter was not ambiguous, and immediately replied: "I know, you are the village chief of Zhou, I have seen you in the village before." ”

"Oh? The memory of the young age is so good, not bad, not bad! Surely that's one of the reasons why you learned to play basketball so quickly, right? ”

Several people sat back on the chairs, Zhou Jingsheng did not forget to praise Ning Chen again, and when he stopped, Xu Dehai beside him finally had a chance to speak: "Xiao Chen, do you recognize my brother and me?" Brother, I'm also a basketball player. ”

Hearing Xu Dehai's question, Ning Chen immediately replied: "Yes, you are Xu Dehai's elder brother, I saw you play on behalf of our village at the beginning of this year." ”

"Really? Then Xiao Chen, would you like to play with my brother and me in the future for our Lianfeng Village? It's almost the Chinese New Year, and this year's Lianfeng Community Basketball Game is about to start, Uncle Zhou and I hope that Xiao Chen can join our team and win the first place in the community basketball game for our Lianfeng Village. ”

Xu Dehai said excitedly, no wonder he is like this, because in the Wutiao Village of Lianfeng Community, their Lianfeng Village either wins fifth or fourth every year, and their village has not tried the taste of the championship for more than ten years, you must know that Lianfeng Village is still the village of Lianfeng Community, so this is too ugly.

At this time, Zhou Jingsheng answered again: "Xiao Chen, as long as you are willing to join the basketball team in the village, uncle, I will immediately buy you a new set of shoes and new sportswear, see that the shoes under your feet are broken like this, don't you know that it is easy to get injured?" ”

Hearing that there were new shoes to wear, Ning Chen's eyes immediately flashed a bright light, but he was instantly covered up again, and he pretended to mutter: "This~? But I have to train with my classmates every night. ”

"You don't have to worry about this problem, because Wang Yang and they will definitely be poached by the teams from other villages to play the game, and there is only one week left before the day of the game, so it doesn't take you half a month to add the game, only the finals will still be held on the first day of the Lunar New Year as in previous years, so it's not too late for you and your teammates to wait for the New Year to go to training."

Because of Ning Chen's words, Xu Dehai was afraid that he would not agree to join the team, so he hurriedly answered the other party's doubts.

"Yes, yes! Xiao Chen, in order to show the sincerity of the village, no matter whether you win or lose, as long as you are willing to join the basketball team of Lianfeng Village, after the game, your uncle will promise you that you will be rewarded with 50 yuan for the village committee, and if you can enter the finals, the amount will be doubled, and it is not over, if you can win the championship in the end, your uncle will reward you with 100 yuan. ”

Zhou Jingsheng offered a larger amount of money every time, which not only moved Ning Chen, but even Xu Dehai, Ning Haibo, and Xie Yueqing, who were sitting next to him and listening, were stunned, if Lianfeng Village could really win the first place, wouldn't Ning Chen get a bonus of two hundred yuan at that time? You must know that this is the salary of Ning Haibo and his wife for several months, and Xu Dehai, as the captain of the team, has never tried to exceed 50 yuan in the past.

Seeing that Ning Chen still looked considerate, Xie Yueqing, who had always been in charge of the family's finances, immediately agreed: "Join!" I promise to join your team for Xiao Chen. ”

"That's great! With Xiao Chen's joining, if we dig up the golden dragon who is known for its defense, is the championship just around the corner? ”

Hearing that his goal was finally achieved, Zhou Jingsheng slapped his thigh excitedly, and his joy was self-evident. Although Ning Chen didn't agree in person, with his mother's approval, it was no different from his own promise.

But he didn't wait for Village Chief Zhou to be happy for too long, and Ning Chen's discordant voice immediately came again: "Wait, Uncle Zhou, remember the reward you promised me just now, and in terms of shoes, I want to wear the latest combat boots of the Jordan series, can I do it?" ”

"Haha! I thought something was going on? Don't worry, what Uncle promised you will definitely be done. ”

After listening to Ning Chen's words, Zhou Jingsheng immediately patted his chest and said, just kidding, these hundreds of yuan are nothing in the former's heart, because this village chief Zhou was originally a local tyrant, although the land at that time was not valuable, but fortunately, at that time, a foreign company wanted to build a factory on one of his land, and that tens of thousands of square meters of land alone brought him hundreds of thousands of income, such a net worth was already a small rich man at the end of the eighties.

The matter was finally implemented, and Zhou Jingsheng and Xu Dehai did not stay for long, and the two left together after saying goodbye, because they would go to He Jinlong's house to be lobbyists later.
