Chapter 53

when night falls, the lanterns start to rise, pushing a baby stroller, Yang Guo is taking Qiqi for a walk in the lush small garden of the community. In the flower bed and among the trees, several street lights of different shapes are faint. Walking in the meantime, cicadas chirp and insects sing, which is very pleasant. At this time, Yang Guo heard a call behind him.

"Xiao Yang!"

Looking back, it turned out that it was Uncle Jin who played together last time. He walked unsteadily in a white sleeveless T-shirt, beach shorts and flip-flops. When he approached, Yang Guo saw the sweat on his head by the light.

Yang Guo asked with a smile, "Uncle Jin, what did you do just now? Why did you sweat so much?"

"What are you doing?" Uncle Jin took out his handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiped it, saying, "it's too hot to sweat when you come out for a walk."

Uncle Jin is not only a big man, but also a typical beer belly. His already large T-shirt is also tightly supported by him. With such a fat body, it's strange to walk around without sweating! Yang Guo thought it was interesting, but he didn't expose it. Isn't there a lyrics sung like this? "Life has been so difficult, don't expose some things!"

The two walked along the path, chatting while walking, and slowly talked about basketball.

"Xiao Yang, why haven't you come to play recently?" Uncle Jin shook the hem of his T-shirt and asked.

"There's no way," Yang Guo said with a smile, "I have a daughter to take care of! When I go to play ball, no one will take care of her."

Although there are many sports venues in Jinli community, Yang Guo is not often used. First, song Zhiwen is not free on weekdays, and it's boring for him to play alone. Second, Yang Guo can't leave Qiqi aside and run to the court by himself.

So now he only occasionally goes to the gym with Qiqi in the evening to exercise his muscles, play sandbags and barbells. For basketball, only on weekends, when the kitten comes to help look at Qiqi, Yang Guo has a chance to play with song Zhiwen on the court.

"Don't you just let women take care of the children?" Uncle Jin said suspiciously, "is your wife so busy?"

YangGuo shook his head and said, "no, Qiqi's mother left when she was born, so now it's me and her who depend on each other."

Uncle Jin learned about this for the first time. Although they had a brief chat last time, they didn't talk about it. He was very shocked and said with some embarrassment, "sorry, I talked about your sad things."

Yang Guo waved his hand and said, "it's all right, it's all right. It's long gone. We're doing well now."

"The child is so small, do you care for the child at home now?" Uncle Jin frowned and asked, "what about your work?" He is also a passer-by and knows the difficulty of taking care of a child less than one year old.

Yang Guo said with a smile, "no problem. I'm a freelancer now. I can do some work at home."

Uncle Jin nodded vaguely, and he didn't break the casserole to ask the end, because it had involved Yang Guo's * *, talking in a simple way, a gentleman warned, how could he not understand after so many years of mixing in the unit.

Since we talked about basketball and both of them are basketball lovers, we talked about this. Although Yang Guo didn't pay attention to the NBA for a while because of Qiqi, he still knew well about the famous stars in various teams, and the two talked very happily.

Chatting, uncle Jin sighed and said, "Yi Jianlian has no team in the NBA, Yao Ming has retired again, and we Chinese are really going to have no one in the NBA!"

"Wait!" Yang Guo frowned and asked, "Yao Ming retired? When did it happen?"

Yi Jianlian landed in the NBA in recent years, but his strength is not enough, and no one is optimistic about him. Whether he can play in the NBA or not, Yang Guo doesn't care, but Yao Ming is different!

Yao Ming can be said to be a flag of China on the basketball court, which is not just the reason for strength. After so many years of hard work in the NBA, he led the national team to win countless honors in the world, which made him the spiritual sustenance and pride of the Chinese people, and also became the representative of the Chinese people standing in front of the world after Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.

At the end of last year, Yao Ming was once again reimbursed for his ankle injury, which has affected the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. After hearing the news, Yang Guo prayed silently for him, hoping that Yao Ming could recover as soon as possible, put on the red shirt again, and lead the Rockets to the championship. However, he didn't pay attention to the news for more than a month. Why did Yao Ming retire? Yao Ming is still in the year of singles. At the age of 31, he has just passed his peak period. As long as he cultivates his foot injury again, he can still continue to fight!

Yang Guo only felt as if he had lost some support in his heart, and his belief in basketball seemed to collapse.

Uncle Jin said in surprise, "don't you know? Yao Ming held a press conference two days ago and officially announced his retirement!"

"Why did he retire like this?" Yang Guo felt very difficult to accept, he mumbled.

Uncle Jin lowered his head, picked up a big leaf that fell from the tree, and took it in his hand to fan himself, He said: "what else can we do without retiring? Yao Ming's foot injury is not a matter of two days. His feet have been injured continuously in the past two years, and he can't support his huge body! He is now 31 or 2 years old. If he continues to fight, it's just that every day is worse than every day, and it's better to retreat in a hurry. I think his choice is very wise."

Uncle Jin is right. Yang Guo can still understand this truth, but he still can't accept it, because Yao Ming is the person who opened the basketball temple for him after all! He left. Is there still basketball in China? Is there still a place for China in the world basketball?

"Without Yao Ming, the NBA can only watch a group of foreign muscle guys jump around." Yang Guo shook his head and chuckled.

Uncle Jin was also full of worry. He nodded and said, "there are few domestic young players who play well. It is estimated that they can't even touch the threshold of NBA. It's really time for China to be out of touch. Whether it's football or basketball, the level of domestic youth training is really too poor!"

The two of them chatted, from Yao Ming's retirement to the system of China. Uncle Jin angrily scolded the Basketball Association, saying that all their systems were unreasonable. Yang Guo was deeply impressed. He echoed and talked about Cuba. Unlike foreign university leagues, domestic university leagues are simply a small fight, in which many excellent talents have been buried by the shortsighted Basketball Association.

The more they talked, the more energetic they became. Under the common hatred, they felt that it was too late to meet. Walking out of the garden from childhood, uncle Jin also warmly invited Yang Guo to visit his home. It was difficult to be gracious, so Yang Guo was gladly invited.

Uncle Jin's house is the second phase house in the community, with more than 200 square meters, four rooms and two living rooms, which is much more spacious than that rented by Yang Guo. When entering the door, what you see is magnificence. Yang Guo not only sighed in his heart, this is the rich man! Such a big house, in a place like Yangcheng, at least four million!

There are three people in uncle's family, and their daughters are 14 years old. They are going to the second day of junior high school this year. After the summer vacation, they play crazy every day. Recently, uncle Jin has been locked up at home to do summer homework with a dark face. When Yang Guo came, she was forced out by her sister-in-law to say hello, and then went into the room with her mouth pursed. Sister in law Jin is a gentle and virtuous woman, but she is a little petite. Standing with uncle, she is simply a real version of beauty and beast!

After Yang Guo came in, sister-in-law Jin ran forward and backward enthusiastically, making tea for a while, and then went to make a plate of fruit platter, which was simply unstoppable. Sister in law Jin was very interested in Qiqi. She pulled the stroller and teased on the sofa next to her. She only raised her head and talked softly when talking about her.

After a conversation, Yang Guo learned that uncle Jin was originally called Xu Caijin, and that he was from his own family with Yang Guo's mother. He is now a department level cadre of the Provincial Department of education. In addition to being shocked, Yang Guo felt in his heart that people really can't be judged by appearances. Uncle Jin should be only 40 years old, and he has already been in a high position!

However, uncle Jin is very nice. He doesn't have a bit of official accent in his chat. Just like ordinary people, he has a very open chat with Yang Guo, and he will scold those who should be scolded without scruple. Although there is a big gap between the two in age and status, they are similar in temperament. It's not too much to say that they forget their old friends.

Sister-in-law Jin said that she ran a small business by herself. Yang Guo felt that sister-in-law Jin was absolutely modest. She opened a coffee shop in the CBD center of the new city. Is such a business that earns money every day still called small? What made Yang Guo more shocked was that although Jin's sister-in-law spoke softly and acted like a housewife, she was like a little daughter-in-law from the countryside. She turned out to be a doctor of economics from Dongshan University! This simply subverted Yang Guo's cognition.

At this time, Yang Guo felt small. Although he was also a graduate of Dongshan University, he could earn a lot of money, and he could speak three foreign languages, but he followed up with his sister-in-law and realized that he was a little idle. What can I do with a small undergraduate degree?

Uncle Jin didn't look down on him. After hearing Yang Guo's experience again because of sister-in-law Jin's question, he was also full of praise for Yang Guo's love and righteousness. Sister-in-law Jin's eyes were red with tears.

Uncle Jin turned the fan to the highest, and the palm of Pu fan patted Yang Guo on the shoulder, Said: "Xiao Yang, don't belittle yourself. I've met many young people in the Department of education, including a large number of excellent young people, but there are really not many who can do it to your level! For a person, the most important thing is not how much money he can earn, but whether he can be a person. Without good quality, even if he earns more money, he is at a loss."

Sister-in-law Jin also smiled and said, "yes, Xiao Yang, you are still young. You still have a lot of time to do what you want to do. Your ability is not bad. I believe your future achievements will not be worse than your sister-in-law."

"What do you mean no worse than you?" Uncle Jin put his arm around Yang Guo's shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm very optimistic about my little brother. Over time, he must be able to do well."

"Yes, yes, my mouth is stupid. I should be a thousand times better than my sister-in-law in the future." Sister in law Jin covered her mouth and laughed.

Infected by their cheerful optimism, Yang Guo also smiled brilliantly.
