Chapter 65 Mother's Support

Chapter 64 Mother's Support
Regardless of whether he signs with Manchester United in the end, he is going to play in the professional league anyway.After experiencing such two fantastic FA Cup games, how can he be willing to hang out in the amateur arena?Any man with a football dream would not be willing to stay in the amateur league under such circumstances.

But men also have family members. When pursuing their dreams, they also need the support and blessings of their families.

Since Li Qingshan has made such a decision, of course he needs to discuss it with his parents to obtain their support.

After a night of training in the world of football training camps, Li Qingshan seemed to be fished out of the water, sweating profusely all over his body.

After a brief wash, Li Qingshan wore gray-blue jeans, put on a white T-shirt, and put the books needed for today's class into his backpack.

Even though he was the hero who almost saved the team on the court yesterday, now the hero must go to class on time. Before Li Qingshan came to England, he promised his mother that he would study hard and never skip class.

It stands to reason that Li Qingshan has already made up his mind to take the road of professional football, and it doesn't matter if he goes to school today, but for Li Qingshan, as long as he doesn't sign a contract for a day, he is still just a student of the University of Manchester.He is a person who can find his own position very well. As a student, he naturally has to study hard. On the contrary, as a player, he also needs to train hard.

Having said that, Li Qingshan was a little out of his mind during this morning's class.Since I was a child, my mother has always been opposed to playing football by myself. What if my mother disagrees?He thought about it all morning, but he couldn't figure out why.

As the morning classes passed, Li Qingshan walked out of the teaching building with his backpack on his back, went to sit on a small bench under a big tree in the campus, and took out his mobile phone.After a long while, he sighed—what should come will always come, he can't hide it from his mother by dropping out of school to become a professional player, if he can hide it for a while, can he hide it for a lifetime?
Maybe when I earn my first professional salary, my mother's attitude will change.He turned on his cell phone and dialed the number at home.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Li Xiong, who had not long after dinner, was mopping the floor with a mop, while his wife, Gao Meili, was washing dishes in the kitchen.

Just then, the phone in his pocket rang.

Li Xiong put the mop against the wall, took out his mobile phone, and it was his son who called back: "Son, when you call back at this time, is there something wrong?"

"Dad, I want to discuss something with you." Li Qingshan whispered on the other side of the phone. He chose to call his father's mobile phone instead of calling his home landline or mother's mobile phone because his father supported him in playing football. I got the call first, it’s okay to talk about playing football, although my mother objected, but because I am used to playing football since I was a child, the most important thing is that he mainly wants to talk about two things today, the first one is of course to play professional football , the second is not to go to school.This second part is definitely something moms vehemently disagree with, and even dads might not necessarily approve of.So we must first start with the easy aspects, so that parents can be prepared.

So Li Qingshan said this: "Father, I plan to play football."

"Kicking football, aren't you playing now?"

"I mean, I'm not playing amateur football anymore, I'm going to play professional football."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and Li Qingshan anxiously waited for the news from the other end of the phone.

When Li Xiong heard his son say these words to him, he was not surprised at all.In fact, a month ago, when he saw his son's FA Cup match with Liverpool, he had a premonition.

What kept him silent was naturally he was concerned about his wife's attitude. He looked towards the kitchen, then retracted and said in a low voice, "Where's the university?"

"I don't plan to go to school anymore. Now that I have decided to sign a contract, I will train every day to become a professional player."

"Well, is there a team looking for you?"

"After yesterday's game, the head coach of Manchester United personally sought me out." Li Qingshan explained the conversation between himself and Ferguson in detail.

"It's what it is, I've been thinking about it all night, Dad. I love playing football and now I have an opportunity like this, I can't say no."

Li Xiong listened carefully, occasionally saying "um".

After Li Qingshan finished speaking in one breath, he said: "How are you going to tell your mother?"

"I..." Li Qingshan hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "I want to talk to my mother."

Li Xiong on the other end of the phone smiled: "That's right, son, if you want to play football, your mother's support is very important. If your mother doesn't agree, can you play football with peace of mind? I'm glad you can do this , when you talk to your mother later, pay attention to your tone, don't be in a hurry, don't make noise, be calm, your mother is doing it for your own good, as long as it makes sense, she won't object, just wait a moment, I'll give you my phone Your mother, she's in the kitchen now."

Gao Meili was washing dishes in the kitchen when she suddenly saw her husband appearing at the kitchen door, "What's going on?"

"My son misses you and wants to talk to you." Li Xiong said and handed over the phone.

Gao Meili wiped her hands on her apron and ended up with her phone.

"Hey, son."

"Ah, Mom, it's me." Li Qingshan sat on the bench and carefully organized his words for a while. "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter? Are you running out of living expenses?"

"No, Mom, by the way, I heard from Dad that you watched me play football with him last night."

"Yes, I'm so sleepy at work today." Gao Meili thought that she would yawn almost all day at work today.

"Then look at how your son is playing." Li Qingshan said with a smile.

Gao Meili was silent, she was not a fool, and she understood what her son meant. "Are you going to play football?"

"Yes, Mom, I'm going to play professional football." Having said this, Li Qingshan said without any hesitation, very sure and straightforward.

"After yesterday's game, the head coach of Manchester United approached me." Li Qingshan recounted the conversation between himself and Ferguson, and introduced Manchester United and Ferguson to his mother who didn't know much about football. The weight of English football.

"I thought about it. I still like playing football. I have always liked it. Now that I have such an opportunity in front of me, I can't give up, mom."

Gao Meili was silent, Li Qingshan heard the silence on the other end of the phone, and his heart started beating faster and faster.What is your mother's reaction now?

"I know you loved playing football since you were a child." After a while, Gao Meili's voice came from the phone. "It's not impossible if you want to play football."

Li Qingshan who heard this sentence on the phone was not too excited.

"But." Sure enough, Li Qingshan knew that his mother would not be so easy to talk about playing football.

"I know you like playing football, but I'm also worried." Gao Meili said.

"First of all, you are going to play professional football. Have you thought about it? If you don't succeed, you don't make money from playing football, and you don't go to college, what will you do in the future?"

"I"

Just as Li Qingshan was about to defend himself, his mother interrupted him: "Listen to me first, even if you succeed and become a professional player, but this industry is a youthful meal, and it is easy to get injured. When you don't What should I do after playing football? I have a pension, and your father plans to buy the pig farm in a few years to get back some pension money. Why don’t we have a bowl of rice to eat when we are old, and we won’t starve to death. What about you? What will you do in the future? Do, when you are old, what else do you have?"

"Okay, answer my two questions first."

Li Qingshan thought for a while, organized his language, and replied: "The first question, Mom, I think as long as I work hard, I will succeed. You see, I played football since I was a child, and I am no worse than others, right? I am eleven or twelve When I was young, I trained and played football with those thirteen and fourteen-year-olds, and they never played me. The football school closed down and I went to high school. At that time, many relatives said behind my back that I got into it through your relationship. How was the result in high school? I didn’t let you down, did I? Playing professional football is the same, no matter how difficult it is, I will grit my teeth and persevere.”

After answering this, Li Qingshan waited for his mother to give him a score.

"What about the second question?" Gao Meili didn't make an immediate comment, but continued to ask.

"Well, you know me, I'm not a big spender, mom. If I succeed in playing professional football, I will definitely earn more money than the average person, and then I will make a financial savings plan. And even in the future I retired, I can go to college again, I can go to a sports management or something, now there are quite a lot of retired players to be coaches, no matter how bad it is, I can go to school as a physical education teacher to teach children Playing football, as long as you are not lazy in today's society, people will not starve to death."

"I'm done, Mom."

After Gao Meili listened to her son's words, she said, "Son, mom is from here, and I don't want you to be rich, but I hope you live a safe and stable life and don't suffer too much. Isn't mom harm you, do you know?"

"Well, I know, Mom."

"If you have to choose the path you want to go, I can't help it. You are my son. Now you are almost [-]. When you grow up, what else can I do if you have to play football?"

"I just hope that you will not regret your decision today, and I hope you will have a good life in the future, so I have nothing to say."

Li Qingshan didn't know how he hung up the phone, he sat alone on the bench in the campus in a daze, he really didn't expect his mother's answer to be like this.Before that, he thought his mother would strongly oppose his decision to play professional football.

Can I really pursue my long-standing goals without any worries?
Am I dreaming?
He pinched his arm, grinning in pain, and then he laughed—it was true!I can really play professional football with confidence and boldness!Ah ha ha!
