Chapter 187 Telephone
After leaving the old stadium and riding home, Zhuang Yu had a smile on his face. Those primary school students were really funny.
Seeing him perform explosive dunks, a group of primary school students were all stunned.
This was a slam dunk. They had never seen it with their own eyes. That kind of scene impacted their young hearts and gave them a huge shock.
When he came back to his senses, a group of primary school students surrounded Zhuang Yu. Some asked him if he was a professional, and some asked if he could become a teacher, if he wanted to have a few drinks first, or if he had to pay teaching fees. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and they had
money......
Zhuang Yu was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to run away.
"Haha, hahaha..." The more he thought about it, the more funny he felt. He couldn't help but burst into laughter. He laughed and then became depressed again. "It seems that I can't go to the old golf course anymore during this period."
Because a group of primary school students chased him and shouted that they would be waiting for him there tomorrow.
...
New Year's Eve.
Years ago, her grandparents called and asked the mother and son to go back to celebrate the New Year, but Li Huilan was reluctant to leave the business of the store and kept it open until the 29th, then refused.
Grandpa and grandma raised three children in total, one son and two daughters. Li Huilan is the youngest in the family. She also has an older brother and older sister. The older sister married out of town and usually doesn’t come back until the next year. She won’t come here.
New Year's Eve.
Zhuang Yu's uncle works out of town and would come back to celebrate the New Year every year.
But this year I couldn't come back due to work reasons, so my grandparents thought of it and went to Zhuang Yu's house to spend time with their mother and son. Zhuang Yu and his grandfather were posting Spring Festival couplets, and my mother and grandma were busy in the kitchen, which was quite lively.
After the Spring Festival couplets are pasted, the food will be ready.
Halfway through the meal, the phone rang. Li Huilan answered the phone. Then the smile on her face disappeared and her voice became deeper: "Are you okay?"
I don't know what was said over there, but Li Huilan turned to Zhuang Yu and said, "It's your dad, asking you to answer the phone."
For a while, everyone was quiet.
Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and came to his mother's side, then took the phone and said, "Dad."
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaoyu, have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
"Oh, are you and your mother at home?"
"And grandpa and grandma."
After a few questions and answers, the atmosphere became a little weird. There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, and then he said: "Xiaoyu, if you want in a few days, I will pick you up and come to dad's place to play for a few days. I will take you everywhere."
Let’s go shopping and buy you some clothes.”
Zhuang Yu glanced at his mother's face and said, "No, I still have to train. School will start in fifteen, so I don't have time."
"Training for what?"
"basketball."
"You made the school basketball team? Why didn't your mother tell me?"
Zhuang Yu really wanted to say, "When have you ever cared about me?" But he still didn't say it out loud because he was celebrating the New Year. He said in a low voice, "It just happened not long ago."
At this time, a woman's voice came faintly from the phone, seemingly calling Zhuang Yu's father's name. Zhuang Yu's father responded and then said to the phone: "Xiao Yu, dad just wants to...
."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhuang Yu interrupted: "If nothing happens, I will hang up. Grandpa and grandma are waiting for me to eat."
"Oh." There was silence again, and finally he seemed to be sighing. After a few seconds, he said: "Happy New Year, Xiaoyu."
"Happy New Year." Zhuang Yu said and hung up the phone.
He looked at his mother.
Li Huilan wanted to reach out and touch his head, but found that her son was much taller than herself. She said warmly: "He is your father. Divorce is a matter for us adults and has nothing to do with your child. If you want to go, let him go."
I’ll pick you up and go play for a few days.”
Zhuang Yu shook his head: "No, I'm busy training. I have to play in the Southern District Competition after school starts, so I don't have time to play."
Li Huilan didn't try to persuade her, and said with a smile: "We also need to balance work and rest. It's okay to have a few days of fun during the New Year. Okay, let's eat."
Back to the dinner table.
Grandpa opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but grandma stopped him with her eyes. In the end, he just sighed and said nothing.
The few of them were eating without saying much.
The joyful atmosphere before seemed to be gone all of a sudden.
Just then, the phone rang again.
Before his mother could answer the call, Zhuang Yu answered the phone first: "Hello?"
Li Huilan asked: "Who is it?"
"My classmate." Zhuang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Fei's silly voice came from the phone, shouting inside: "Zhuang Yu, Happy New Year. Haha, am I the first one to call you to say New Year's greetings, right?
Very touched.”
Among a group of classmates, this guy is indeed the first.
But looking at the time, Zhuang Yu said speechlessly: "Do you know why you are the first among so many classmates to call to say New Year's greetings?"
"Why?"
"Because it's only half past nine."
"Is there a problem?"
"Well......"
The two chatted for a while and hung up the phone.
Not long after, someone called again. It was Fatty Zhao. He wished Zhuang Yu New Year, said hello to Li Huilan, and asked Zhuang Yu to go out with him the day after tomorrow. Zhuang Yu thought about it and agreed, going out for half a day in the morning and training in the afternoon.
Later, there were calls from Wu Xi, Li Guangmao, Wang Hongfei and other classmates.
Zhuang Yu didn't remember that he had given them his home phone number, but when he thought about it, he understood that he probably asked Fatty Zhao.
Ever since the first call rang, the calls had not been disconnected. There were calls from uncles and aunts, but most of them were Zhuang Yu's classmates and teammates. What surprised him was that Zhang Yuan also called.
He even called Li Huilan and asked to talk to Li Huilan and said Happy New Year.
This made Li Huilan's eyes change when she looked at Zhuang Yu.
Yuan Feng, Han Hui, Zhang Yong, Xiao Qingyang...all the teammates called.
Zhuang Yu has never encountered such a situation before, and this is the first time. Li Huilan and his grandparents are also a little surprised, but more of them are happy. Their son and grandson have so many good classmates in school, and they will definitely not be bullied.
He answered more than a dozen phone calls intermittently, and Zhuang Yu didn't eat much, but his previously gloomy mood improved inexplicably.
And it was already past eleven o'clock.
Zhuang Yu thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called coach Yang Guohui and several other teachers who had their own phones to wish him a happy new year.
After a while, the clock already pointed to twelve o'clock.
On the TV, the host of the Spring Festival Gala held a microphone and announced the countdown, and the phone rang again.
"Hello?"
"It's me."
"Senior An Xin."
At this time, only the countdown sound was left on the TV: "8, 7, 6..."
The same sound came from the phone. Apparently the Spring Festival Gala was playing on the opposite side. When the final countdown reached 0, the TV and phone turned into the sound of fireworks exploding. Only then did An Xin's voice come. She seemed to be waiting.
This moment: "Happy New Year!"
Chapter completed!
