"See you at 10 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, at the basketball court in Zhaibei!"

That evening, Long Xiaochuan made an appointment with everyone and went home happily.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father squatting in the yard to check and dry a basket of hemp rope, and he knew that his father was going to go to the back mountain to harvest this year's first wild honey.

Cliff bee wild honey is a special product of Thundering Mountain, but the hive is mostly suspended on the cliff 100 meters high from the ground, cutting honey is the work of exchanging life for money, not only to be careful of falling off the cliff, but also to beware of the siege of the earth bee, the slightest carelessness is the end of the broken bones, not to tolerate the slightest sloppiness.

In order to avoid further disputes with his father and affect his work mood, Long Xiaochuan said hello and entered the house with interest.

Compared with her brother's caution, Long Xiaomei didn't have so many worries, and told the trip to the county like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Long Zaitian "let's da" smoked a cigarette bag and pot, pretending not to be alarmed on the surface, but in fact he was very happy in his heart.

So much so that when Long Xiaochuan entered the house to change his clothes, the man who was nearly fifty years old ran out of the yard with brisk steps.

He had gone to visit the old fellows of the village.

You must know that agreeing to play with his son to determine the future of Leizhai basketball is just his impulsive statement.

If he really wants to play with young people the day after tomorrow, he has to go and say hello to these old guys first, in case he can't get anyone on his side at that time, how embarrassing will it be?

Lobbying the old guys to play is not much less difficult than Long Xiaochuan's trip to the county seat.

He called Luo Xiangdong, Yang Hongbing, Pan Qingguo, and Sun Shengli to the village committee and held a meeting around the fire pond.

Five old men sat barefoot together and smoked dry cigarettes, and the four were not in high mood when they heard that they were going to play basketball again.

Everyone is an elder in the village, playing ball with young people, and winning means that there is no successor and they are not happy; If you lose, it means that you are really old, and you don't look good on your face!

So Long Zaitian first excited: "The basketball game in Yeyu Village is like that, I don't blame you." The main thing is that it's raining, and the plastic court is wet and slippery, and our old arms and legs can't be used. In addition, the lack of light affects my vision, and I can't see the basket clearly because of my old eyes, so it's understandable to lose the game. However, others don't care about these objective reasons, now not only the people of Yucun look down on our jokes, but even their own juniors look down on us, and they are ready to build a team to seize power! Can this be endured? ”

The two lords lobbied almost exactly the same routine, first arching the fire to provoke emotions, and then luring to play the emotional card, he took out two catties of high-grade flue-cured tobacco leaves, and promised to send ten catties of aged bud grain roast after playing, before saying that the old guys would accompany his son to "play".

Luo Xiangdong spat and rolled his eyelids: "Your baby's four years of college are really in vain." How good is the flower world outside, there are more opportunities to make money quickly, and whatever you do, isn't it better than going back to this poor country? ”

Long Zaitian slapped his hands and spread them out: "Who said it wasn't!" I thought, let's have a good game and strangle his unrealistic idea. You think, he can't even win against us old men, so he won't worry about basketball anymore! ”

Pan Qingguo slowly spit out a smoke ring: "Then fight hard this time, teach these little rabbits a lesson." ”

He was on fire in his heart, yesterday's friendly match was originally planned to ask his nephew Pan Lei to play, this kid was fat and lazy, making up nonsense and making excuses not to come, so he was forced to save the game, and as a result, he lost face in Yucun.

Yang Hongbing stretched out his cigarette pouch and pot and confronted Long Zaitian: "Yes, kill them, otherwise, I really think we are old and useless!" ”

The Yang family in Leizhai went to other provinces and cities for development, and only Yang Hongbing was left in the village.

He thinks that he is a person in the Yang family, and he attaches great importance to his reputation and status, and he must not be despised by the juniors.

Long Zaitian knocked off the ashes in the cigarette pouch pot: "Okay, it's decided, at 10 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, gather on the basketball court, all come!" ”

When Long Zaitian was running around to "block" his son's unreliable business plan, Long Xiaochuan was worried about the start-up capital.

He returned to the village with enthusiasm, saying that he wanted to start a business, but in fact, he didn't have much money in his pocket.

Sun Changxing is right, five people practice out of production, and the daily expenses are not small.

If there is no income for just one or two weeks, everyone "generates electricity for love" and goes home for dinner, and maybe they can still persevere.

But what if it's three or five months? Who can hold on?

Basketball requires at least five people to form a team, and if one person leaves halfway, the Leizhai basketball team will be scattered.

So don't look at Long Xiaochuan's understatement at the time: "I will find a way to deal with the funding." ”

But in fact, what can he do as a college student who has just graduated for less than a year? It's just to ask Aba Long to borrow some money from Zaitian to deal with the current situation.

However, when he entered the door just now, Long Xiaochuan saw that Abba was about to go to the cliff to collect honey again, and when he thought that the family's savings were all exchanged for his father's life, he couldn't say anything about borrowing money.

"Alas, let's take one step at a time, win the basketball game in front of us first, and get the qualification to represent Lei Zhai in the 'village BA'."

Long Xiaochuan sat under the eaves and swiped Douyin, watching the basketball anchors he followed receive advertisements to make money, and the rural anchors brought goods and sold agricultural products, and suddenly felt that this career was not as easy as he imagined.

Long Xiaomei knew her brother's difficulties, but she couldn't help herself, so she could only do it in a hurry in the stove room.

Suddenly, she thought of a person's name, and came out with a spatula: "Huh? Brother, don't you want to ask Cadre Yu? In the past few years since you were not at home, the county's poverty alleviation team has provided a lot of help to our village, the fifth grandfather and the second aunt Yu have been lifted out of poverty by relying on the lambs and piglets they provided, and Uncle Hongbing's village doctor qualification certificate has also been helped by them. ”

Long Xiaochuan's eyes lit up: "Yu Yan? Isn't she in charge of organizing basketball games? Whatever? ”

"Then I don't know, anyway, now the people in the village have trouble finding Abba, and in the end they are all looking for them to help solve it."

Hearing his sister say this, Long Xiaochuan seemed to see the dawn, and immediately took out his mobile phone to contact Yu Yan.

But after all, the two of them only have a one-sided relationship, and it is a little difficult to ask for help as soon as they open their mouths, thinking about it, the information is edited and deleted, and he finally only sends out two words: "Are you there?" ”

Long Xiaomei was anxious for him: "If you have something to say, say it directly!" ”

"We don't know each other."

"Talk and talk!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'll go, didn't you talk about girlfriends in college? Do you still need me to teach this? ”

"It's different, I'm not talking to Cadre Yu!"

Long Xiaochuan and his sister were not on the same channel at all, and while the two were talking, there was a smell of burnt paste in the stove.

Long Xiaomei screamed, crying and crying to save the pot of rice.

At this time, Yu Yan called directly: "Hello Xiaochuan, have you formed a basketball team?" ”

Long Xiaochuan hurriedly told the current situation.

I could hear that she was very happy on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'll definitely go to watch the game the morning after tomorrow, see you at the stadium!" ”
