Chapter 224 Uncle
Amidst the continuous sound of firecrackers, the Chinese ushered in the New Year's Eve.

In a small city like Licheng, fireworks and firecrackers are unavoidable during the Spring Festival, and the urban area is full of crackling noises, not to mention the towns and villages in the countryside.

After staying at Wang Yourong's house for a few days, Xu Qian came back from BJ, and Lu Yuan took Wang Yourong back to his house for two days. After crushing a stool in Lu Yuan's house, it was almost New Year's Eve. The two parted, and Wang Yourong Going home for the New Year, while Lu Yuan followed Xu Qian to his grandmother's house in Dukou.

Except for the few years in BJ, after returning to Licheng, Lu Yuan spends the New Year at his grandmother's house every year, with his uncle, aunt, and younger brother.

Another year, the whole family got together. As soon as Lu Yuan saw his cousin, the two happily went out to set off firecrackers.

Lu Yuan grew up with two joys and one fear. The two joys are that he likes lucky money and setting off firecrackers, but he is afraid of dogs.

One of the reasons why I like to set off firecrackers is because they can scare dogs away.In the past, my grandmother's family still lived in the village. Before I moved to Dukou Town, Lu Yuan lived in my grandmother's house, and he always carried firecrackers in his pocket when he went out.

Once he sees a dog, Lu Yuan will light one and throw it in front of the dog to scare the dog away, so as long as he has firecrackers in his pocket, Lu Yuan will not panic when walking on the road.

After moving to Dukou Town, my grandmother's house has a yard, and there is no dog at home, so naturally there is no need to scare the dog with firecrackers.

And playing firecrackers in the town is far less fun than in the country. In the country, you can blow up water, trees, dogs, and even shit, but there is really nothing to do in the yard of grandma's house.

So the two of them felt boring after playing for a while. After all, Lu Yuan had already entered high school, and his cousin was about to enter junior high school, so they had already grown up.

At this time, Lu Yuan proposed to play basketball in the yard. Since Xu Qian allowed Lu Yuan to play, he bought a basketball with the money he saved from grabbing red envelopes in various groups.

But there is a ball but no basket, so Lu Yuan decided to make a basket by himself.

He found a long iron wire and a wooden pole from his grandfather's small warehouse, wound the long iron wire into a round frame with a diameter of about two basketballs, and tied the round frame to one end of the wooden pole with the remaining iron wire.

Then use a tape measure to measure the length of the wooden pole, and tie the wooden pole to the water press beside the well with a wire, and a tattered simple basket is completed.

Because the iron wire is thin and soft, once the ball hits the basket, it will smash the basket. In addition, there is no basket, so it must be hollowed into the basket to keep playing. Otherwise, if it is smashed, you have to use a stool to stand Go up and straighten.

Seeing his cousin smashed it crookedly a few times, Lu Yuan had to pick up a stool and climb up to straighten it several times. Later, he got annoyed and said, "Okay, you don't vote anymore! Let me do it, and you just need to watch it!"

Said that Lu Yuan snatched the ball from his cousin, and wanted to show his real basketball skills in front of his cousin.

Lu Yuan stood under the basket and easily made a shot; then stepped back a few steps, shot again, and went into the basket again hollowly; stepped back three meters away, shot, and still made it.The cousin was stunned. He didn't expect his cousin to be so good. He didn't know that Lu Yuan and his school team had already won the Suxichang Municipal Championship.

Lu Yuan had already felt the shot, he retreated to the corner of the yard, about five meters away from the basket, he shot again, the ball still went into the basket hollow!

My cousin has grown his mouth. In the past, he always thought that his cousin was a brother who only used firecrackers to scare dogs, and spent all his skill points on setting off firecrackers and grabbing red envelopes. He did not expect his shooting level to be so high.

Lu Yuan rubbed his nose triumphantly, asked his cousin to bring the ball, then opened the gate of the yard, and ran out of the yard, he wanted to throw a super long-distance ball through the yard wall.

Lu Yuan had no experience in shooting three-pointers in the past. During his daily training, Bai Ye would not let him practice three-pointers. After the shooting is done, practice three-pointers.

Lu Yuan had never tried a three-pointer during the game, and felt that although the line could be added by one point, the distance was too far.

But today, Lu Yuan feels that his shooting touch is very good. Although it is an irregular basket, he still wants to try to see if he can make a shot from a long enough distance.

Lu Yuan retreated to a far enough distance, looked over the courtyard wall, stared at the simple basket, then took a deep breath, and shot quickly!Lu Yuan's shooting posture is very standard, very beautiful, my cousin's eyes are dumbfounded, as if he saw those NBA superstars.

The ball draws a high arc, over the courtyard wall, and flies to the basket.

Then fell straight into the well.

"Ah! It's over!"

When Lu Yuan saw the ball fell into the well, he yelled that it was not good, rushed to the yard, lay down on the side of the well and saw that the ball was floating on the well water.He hurriedly brought the bucket and fished up the ball in the well.

The cousin beside him made his stomach hurt from laughing, and Lu Yuan scolded: "What are you laughing at! I aimed at the well and threw it, don't you think it is more difficult than throwing it into the basket? I am standing outside the courtyard wall and can see The basket, but you can't see the well!"

When my cousin heard it, he felt that what he said was very reasonable, and he couldn't help admiring Lu Yuan even more, and asked him why he is so good at basketball now.

Therefore, Lu Yuan told his cousin about joining the basketball team, going to Nanjing to play a game on National Day, winning the championship in the county competition, and winning the championship in the city competition. , I didn't expect my cousin to be such a powerful person.

Seeing his cousin's expression of admiration for him, Lu Yuan felt a little proud. Compared with the cheers and encouragement of the fans, he hoped to be recognized by his closest family members, even if it was just a younger brother who did not graduate from elementary school.

"Brother, I heard from my mother that my uncle was very, very good at basketball before. As expected, you are also so good." Cousin said to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan felt a little strange when he heard the word uncle, who is uncle?whose uncle?
Looking at his cousin, Lu Yuan's mind turned for a while before he remembered that his cousin usually calls his mother and aunt, so isn't that uncle his father?
Xu Qian has two siblings, so there will be no other uncles.

My dad is very, very good at basketball, good at basketball?Why have I never heard of it?But who is his father?Who is it?
Lu Yuan felt dizzy and groggy, and felt that many things were vague, tangible and intangible.

The cousin just said something casually, and saw Lu Yuan frowning there, not knowing what to think, so he took the basketball and went to play by himself.

It was getting dark soon, and the family began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, and another year had passed, but Xu Qian found that Lu Yuan, who used to eat three bowls of white rice for the New Year's Eve dinner, didn't seem to have much appetite today, and after one bowl, he could Put down the dishes and stop eating.

After dinner, Xu Qian helped grandma wash the dishes, found Lu Yuan who was reading alone in the room, and asked him what happened today, why he ate so little for dinner.

Lu Yuan put down the book, thought for a while, and said to Xu Qian: "My younger brother said today that his uncle is very, very good at basketball, I really don't want to remember."

Xu Qian understood at once, isn't my cousin's uncle the same as Lu Yuan's father, Lu Zihao, it seems that many things cannot be hidden from the children's ears.

Xu Qian didn't know how to explain it to Lu Yuan. She bit her lip and thought for a while before she said, "Lu Yuan, mom knows you like playing basketball. If you can go to BJ to play, would you accept it?"

Lu Yuan said: "Go! This year's national finals will be held in BJ, I want to try to get to BJ! Although it is very difficult, I thought before that the national competition will be held in BJ. Who knew that we are from the Southern District, and the national competition will be held in BJ! The competition will be played first in Wuhan."

Xu Qian shook her head and said, "I'm not talking about going to BJ to play games, but I mean you go to BJ to study and play there."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan quickly said, "Then I won't go, I will stay in Licheng."

"However, BJ's basketball level is higher, and the teaching level is also better. You can learn more things when you are there."

"No, if I go, what will happen to Wang Yourong? I will tell him that I will teach him how to shoot next semester."

"There are always friends."

"It's different, it's different, and..." Lu Yuan wanted to say that Jia Yumeng was still in Licheng, and if she knew that she was going to study in BJ, she would definitely die of heartbreak.

There is also Lin Sifan, but he dare not say this in front of his mother.

"However, if mom, you want to go back to BJ, I will go back to BJ with you." Lu Yuan finally added.

Xu Qian shook her head and said: "I won't go back to BJ, I will never go back to BJ." Saying that, she hugged Lu Yuan, patted his head, and left the room.

Seeing his mother leaving, Lu Yuan thought something was wrong, obviously I was the one asking her a question, why did it end up like this?What's going on here?
Lu Yuan couldn't figure it out, but his mood improved.Because on the mobile phone, New Year greetings from friends poured in.

Jia Yumeng's, Lin Sifan's, Wang Yourong's, Wu Peng's, Zhang Fan's, Peng Tianzuo's, and even Baiye's - this guy actually took the initiative to send a message to Lu Yuan, although the content was only one word - Le.

In the past, there have never been so many people sending him New Year greetings, and Lu Yuan was overjoyed.

Then he replied to everyone in a unified way - instead of blessing, it is better to send a red envelope.

........................

The Chinese New Year holiday is over quickly, and the Lunar New Year has begun again, but the school is still on winter vacation.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the basketball team gathered in the school gymnasium. They hadn’t seen each other for more than two weeks. Everyone missed them very much and chatted endlessly in the locker room.

Lu Yuan came early, and after changing his clothes, he practiced shooting with the ball on the court. It feels good to have a normal basket, and he has already thrown enough of the broken basket at his grandmother's house.

By [-] o'clock in the morning, almost everyone had arrived. Lu Yuan found out that he hadn't seen him for two weeks, and everyone's faces were much ruddy.

Even Gao Jing looked plump, Lu Yuan said directly to Coach Gao that you seemed to be fat, and Gao Jing gave her a hard look.

However, Bai Ye did not show up in the arena, and everyone was a little surprised. Gao Jing explained that Bai Ye would stay in BJ for two days, and after the competition started, he would go directly to Shanghai to meet everyone.

And there are still two days left before the start of the competition in the East China region. Whether or not they can enter the national competition depends on this battle.

But Gao Jing fell into the same troubles as in the city-level competition, because their grouping form was really not optimistic.
