Chapter 972 I Know You Last Winter
Less than three days after Shen Qin got used to it, he was called short-term 1A by a phone call, and those newly issued jerseys and lockers could only be displayed temporarily.

The newly appointed assistant Xi Chuan didn't care about it: "When you come back to the major leagues, you will only prepare spring training jerseys. You can keep them in your collection? After all, this is the first time in your life?"

Shen Qin didn't understand Xi Chuan's teasing at all, and nodded approvingly, quite approvingly, obediently put away all his things and carried them back to the RV.Dumbfounded staff are left alone~
Forgetting the equipment, you even took away the jersey without a name?
"But why the rush?"

"It's an extended spring training here. You've been practicing there, so there's no need."

Shen Qin nodded, and asked again: "Then how long will I stay in the short-term 1A? But luckily you are here, I am so nervous by myself! I don't even know each other~"

"Pepe will also go. As for how long you stay, it depends on your performance. If you don't perform well, you can go to R+ or 1A. If you perform well, you can go to high-level 1A. The results will probably come out in a week's schedule. What? Are you afraid that you won't play well?"

"That's not true. I'm afraid that I will suddenly get angry and offend others. After all, it's your team. It's not good if something gets out. Have you ever heard of bullying?"

Xi Chuan couldn't help laughing: "My team still has to hold back, so why come here to play? You are not a vexatious person, just be free, everyone is young, don't think too much."

Shen Qin stared at him with his face in his hands: "I'm not afraid of what others will do to me. Yuri is here, I mean~ Oh, you know that when I was arrested, my emotional intelligence dropped. I was afraid of offending people. Professional players have a lot of contact with the media. Too much doesn't sound good."

Xi Chuan was stunned, what does it mean to have low EQ when squatting and arresting?Could it be that this baby's EQ can rise a little bit in life?
This self-knowledge is really...exceeding the standard.

"Let it be, do what you want, the most important thing is to play well. But let me tell you first, I won't sit in the lounge with you on the game day, since we are all going to watch the game, let's take a look at Miao Zi Gathering data, so you've got to be proactive and interact with the players, you know? You're the catcher."

When talking about this, Shen Qin nodded obediently, not without worry. Looking back on his baseball career, he really had never developed in an unfamiliar environment for a long time.

In middle school, high school, and even college, he was accompanied by Kou Chi, who was popular enough to get acquainted with his teammates quickly.

Uh~ No one is taking it now, so I can only actively communicate!At least have a good relationship with the pitchers, right?

It’s just that Xi Chuan added: “You don’t have to think too much about it. It’s impossible to play a full game by yourself at 1A in the short term, and even if you get on good terms with the pitcher, everyone will have to break up within a few days, oh ~ If you can't type well, tell me otherwise."

"Bah! No! Isn't that making the media and the public laugh at me? Not only do I have to fight well! I have to fight very well."

Xi Chuan raised his eyebrows: "It depends on your performance~"

……

No matter how far the two of them were arguing, they dragged the RV for nearly seven hours before arriving at Paquil, where the pandas were in Short Term 1A.

Paguire is a small town with few people, famous for having a big lake called Dika Dica Bodo Dokado. (I'm not kidding, seriously. Much weirder and longer than this name.)
It is called Dika Lake for short.

Paguire's winter is very cold, but the short-term 1A itself has a short season and an empty schedule, which is no problem for minor league teams.

Moreover, the local residents go to watch the game when it is hot, and go to the lake to enjoy the snow scenery when it is cold.

Panda’s short-term 1A is called Panda Panda. The stadium is on the edge of Dika Lake, and the outfield is directly connected to the lake. There are no spectator seats, so many local fans will row boats to the lake to watch even if they don’t buy tickets to enter the stadium.Of course, there is still a management fee.

It was already dark when Shen and Qin arrived, and many people were fishing when the car drove to the lake.

"Why are you twitching? Don't you want to be quiet?" He knew nothing about this.

"The creek that exits is more urgent." Xi Chuan explained to him: "This is hook fishing. If you have a chance, you can try it. You can play in this season. Winter here comes early, and this lake should be iced."

Shen Qin looked at the various wooden houses around in surprise: "It's so cold, do you have to burn a fireplace?"

"Correct."

"That's okay. Burning wood looks nice. It's unbearable in a cold place without these."

Xi Chuan hummed: "It's okay, Colorado is so cold, and the wood-burning stoves in the Rocky Mountains, that is, wood stoves and some old fireplaces are not acceptable. There is a height limit for burning them, for fear of polluting the mountain air or something."

"Huh? How do you know?"

"The 3A team is over there, and there are interesting bighorn sheep on the mountain. I wanted to buy a house on the mountain. Many houses are built on the cliff, which is very interesting."

Shen Qin was also aroused, and couldn't help being a little curious: "Then why didn't you buy it? Is it the Xuankong Temple?"

"Ha~ I thought too much and decided to build it with a suspended wooden frame. It's because of this that you have to climb a hundred or two hundred steps to get to some houses."

"Oh my God, won't you get dizzy after going to the supermarket?"

Xi Chuan couldn't help laughing: "First, it's a long way to go to the supermarket. The garbage station I went to is only open for a few hours a week. For them, transporting garbage is more practical than going to the supermarket." Second , that kind of house will pull something like a platform ladder, just like a board on the slide, which can hold things."

"Then you don't have to walk?"

"People can't go up, it's okay to go down."

Shen Qin has always been extremely curious about extremely cold areas.

Last winter, I had the opportunity to go to Alaska to experience it, but it was delayed because of my injury~
Rockies and Alaska!I want to go!
Seeing him curious, Xi Chuan said to him: "There is a staff member of the 3A team who is a hiking madman. His family lives at a very high altitude. He goes there during the offseason. He can't wait to jump on the skis every day. Come on, don’t say there is no electricity at home, there is no toilet, others say he is a survivalist, if you are interested, learn from him, and you can participate in a survival program in winter.”

Shen Qin blushed a little, not out of fright, but out of embarrassment, and punched Xi Chuan: "I told you I was wrong last year~ Don't make fun of me!" This was delayed last year, the pain caused by a little toe.

Xi Chuan patted his fists and laughed: "So take it easy! Don't want to see a deer that is taller than a car? Don't want to see a bear on a snow mountain slide? Or don't you want to try the outdoor special sauna? The kind that is tens of degrees below zero? "

ah!Shen Qin was about to scream, what did he miss last year!
