Junior Basketball says

Chapter 12 I Want to Play Basketball

Although Gangcheng No. [-] Middle School only arranges one day of rest a week, there are relatively few homework assignments. For a student like Xu Hao, three self-study classes on Saturday afternoon are enough for him to complete all the homework on the weekend. nailed it.

At night, while Xu Hao was absent-mindedly looking at the tutorial book in his hand, he listened to the movement in the living room with his ears sideways.At about 7:[-] in the evening, Xu Ansheng finally returned home tired, sat down at the dinner table and ate voraciously.

Xu Hao gently put down the book, tiptoed to the door, and vaguely heard the conversation of his parents: "It's not an important day now, why did you come back at this point? Is there anything that can't let young people What are you going to do?"

"Cough... It's not like you don't know about the affairs of our office. How can I, with my senior qualifications, command them? Moreover, this time the task is still pressed down by the superiors and assigned to me by name. If I don't do it, no one will do it." Take care of this thing."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about something tomorrow, and I'll get you another bowl of rice."

"This braised pork ribs is not bad, by the way, help me go to the refrigerator and get some hot sauce for dinner..."

Xu Hao sighed, and quietly returned to the desk, doing those problems that seemed simple at first sight.He felt that he should stop talking to his father about playing basketball later, and let him take a good rest.

But there are some things that others don't know if he doesn't tell them. The couple at the dinner table have already begun to discuss in whispers that he spent a lot of time playing basketball this week.Xu Ansheng didn't object to this. He said to Xia Jing: "My wife, my son likes to play basketball. Isn't that a good thing? Do you really want him to sit there and study for hours every day without moving his nest? What a man! It’s okay to get some exercise, not only to build willpower, but also to reduce the likelihood of getting sick, so that’s great.”

Xia Jing felt that what her husband said was also reasonable, but after thinking about it, she still said: "Old Xu, my son is willing to tell you anything, I think, you should go and have a good talk with him later, playing basketball is fine." , don’t affect your academic performance.”

Xu Ansheng smiled and said: "Don't you know our son? This kid usually doesn't seem to have a good job, and he doesn't study hard, but his test results have never let us down. Don't worry about it, eat I'll go talk to him after dinner."

Xu Hao didn't know that his parents had reached a united front. After finishing a set of test papers, he was planning to rest for a while, but Xu Ansheng walked into the room and moved a stool to sit next to him.He patted Xu Hao on the shoulder and said, "I still don't believe your mother said. It seems that she has been in the sun for a long time. Please tell me the specific situation!"

After lowering his head and being silent for a while, Xu Hao said in a low voice, "Dad, I want to play basketball."

The sound was very small, not much better than the humming of a mosquito, but Xu Ansheng could hear it clearly. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Xu Hao's head, and said bluntly, "Just play basketball, it's so mysterious. What are you doing? I brought you in, boy, and I definitely support you in playing basketball. Exercise more, it is good for maintaining your health and improving your reaction power..."

"But... the basketball I'm talking about... refers to professional basketball..." Xu Hao couldn't help interrupting his father's continuation.

Xu Ansheng's high-spirited speech came to an abrupt end. He dug his ear with his little finger and asked suspiciously, "What did you just say?"

"I said, I don't want to play basketball like a child playing house, I want to be a professional player."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Ansheng laughed so hard that tears came out.But Xu Hao didn't smile, just sat there and looked at him fixedly, without any playful expression on his face.Xu Ansheng's laughter gradually weakened, he shook his head and said, "Stinky boy, don't make fun of your father and me, and to be honest, this joke is not funny."

Xu Hao shook his head and said, "Dad, I'm not joking. I mean it. I want to play professional basketball."

Xu Ansheng was silent for a while, and looked back at the living room. Xia Jing was still reading her Korean drama with tears streaming down his face, so he secretly took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out the lighter, lit it, and took a deep puff. , and then asked: "Xiaohao, tell Dad the truth, how did you think of going this way? You must know that your mother will never agree!"

Since Dad asked this question, Xu Hao had to say it, but he didn't intend to tell the whole story about the system, otherwise he would probably be sent to slice for research.He thought for a while, and decided to use Xue Yubing's words as an excuse. As the daughter of a former outstanding basketball player in China, although she couldn't believe everything she said, it should be fine to use it to fool his parents.

After Xu Hao told the truth about the so-called incident, Xu Ansheng was stunned for a while, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect Xue Yong's daughter to be your classmate. In this way, her judgment may indeed be a bit off. reason……"

"Dad, are you his fan? Or do you just feel sorry for what happened to him?"

"Hehe, there are not a few fans of our generation who like Xue Yong. Although he is not considered a top star, he has a superb three-pointer. I have been heartbroken for a long time because of match-fixing for the sake of gambling, but I never thought that the truth of the matter would be like this.”

Xu Hao quickly interrupted his father's reminiscence of the year, and asked expectantly: "So is this agreed?"

"Little brat, I have to warn you in advance that you can play basketball, but your academic performance cannot be lowered, and your mother and I will not let you drop out of school early to become a professional player. But if you are really talented, I will not I will hold you back and not let you go, your father and I are old, and it is basically impossible to go up in the unit, you can succeed, that is also a comfort to me."

Xu Hao clenched his fists, said yes in a low voice, and then asked nervously, "Then what about my mother?"

Xu Ansheng patted his chest and said: "If you can play, I will do the work on your mother's side. Don't tell me, I was also a fierce player on the basketball court back then. Your mother just saw me in the game. She is so majestic and heroic, and she married me in the end. It was for your own good that she didn't let you turn your attention to basketball. At least we have a way out after going to college, right?"

Dad, did you take the wrong script book?How did a good chat turn into dog food?Xu Hao suddenly felt that he didn't need to eat the supper tonight, maybe he could give up the breakfast tomorrow morning, there was no way, he was full...
