Fox in the Penalty Area

Xie Lan, who was at work, received a call from her son Hu Lai.

"Mom, we are here and we are waiting to pick up our luggage. The school has a car to pick us up. Go back to school first, so you don't have to worry about me. Besides, I should go home at the normal time after school..."

Xie Lan interrupted Hu Lai's report, but lowered his voice and asked, "Son, did you really sign with that Poseidon club?"

"...I'm sorry, mom, I didn't listen to you. I won't play after this session. I still want to play. I don't want to wait another year..." Hu Lai heard her mother mention this matter, thinking that her mother was If you want to ask the teacher about the crime, you have to act preemptively and take the initiative to apologize.

When Hu Lai said this, Xie Lan had already got up from his desk, walked out of the office quickly, and walked all the way to the end of the corridor.

When she leaned against the window, she sighed and said, "Hu Lai... Mom doesn't blame you, it's just... Your dad really hit the mark. After you taste the sweetness of playing football, you will definitely not be so happy." Maybe you will listen to me and give up the third year of high school and not play football."

"dad?"

"I haven't told you that before your finals, your dad found out that you played football without telling him, and he was very angry... I was afraid that it would affect your performance in the game, so I didn't tell you. Your dad won't agree with you going to that Neptune Club..."

Hu Lai on the other end of the phone interrupted her mother eagerly: "I won the national championship, the top scorer and the best player, can't I make him change his mind?"

When Xie Lan heard her son say this, there was still a hint of expectation in her tone. She was silent for a while before sighing: "It has nothing to do with these things... In fact, if you really just finish this tournament, you won't play football anymore. Don't worry. Prepare for the college entrance examination. Maybe your dad can pretend that the things you played in school didn’t happen before, and don’t pursue it... But now you want to play professional football, he will absolutely not agree.”

"Why? Mom? Why does my dad dislike me playing football so much? I've never seen him so paranoid..."

Xie Lan was about to speak when he saw the director poking his head out of the office, and after finding her, he waved to her.

She quickly said: "Mom has something to do here, so I won't talk to you. Anyway, you listen to me. When you see your dad at night, don't mention professional football. I'll help you persuade your dad... That's it , hang up first."

After speaking, Xie Lan ended the call, held the phone in his hand, and walked towards the office.

At the same time, in the busy luggage hall, Hu Lai squatted against the wall,

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he stared blankly at his teammates frolicking around the luggage conveyor belt.

A feeling of unwillingness welled up in his heart.

Why is it that everyone else is elated and looking forward to going back to announce the good news to their parents after winning the honor of the national championship, but I have to go back and face a storm?

For a moment, he didn't even want to go home when he thought of his father's rage.

※※※

Carrying a schoolbag, Hu Lai, who had already changed back into the uniform of Dongchuan Middle School, was still standing downstairs in the end, but he was not in a hurry to walk into the doorway of the dark apartment building.

He had already seen his father's battery car parked in the door opening, charging.

That means his dad has returned.

That's why he didn't go in.

In fact, he had been wandering downstairs for quite some time.

Every time he wanted to go in, he couldn't help but turn around and back out.

The black doorway was like a den in the dark, as if once he walked in, he couldn't get out again.

After lingering like this for a while, Hu Lai gritted his teeth: It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided!

Then stepped in.

When he was about to climb to the fourth floor, he stepped lightly, wanting to hear what was going on at home, such as whether his mother and father were arguing fiercely... at least it would let him know the current situation.

But he heard nothing, and the room was silent. If it weren't for the light leaking from the crack in the door, it would be as quiet as if no one was at home.

Hu Lai just put his ear to the door and listened for a few minutes. During this time, apart from the occasional movement from the kitchen, he didn't hear a word from his parents.

In desperation, he had no choice but to raise his hand and knock on the door. At the same time, suppressing the wild beating in his heart, he took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

As the breath was exhaled, he saw the door open and his mother stood in the doorway.

After seeing him, his mother made a look at him, signaling him not to say anything unnecessary, and then let him in. At the same time, she pretended to be calm and said, "You're back? Hurry up and put away your schoolbag, wash your hands, and get ready to eat."

When he walked into the house, Hu Lai saw his father, who was sitting on the small sofa in the living room, looking down at the screen of the mobile phone, and didn't even lift his head when he heard what his mother said.

So Hu Lai didn't say hello to him, quickly changed his shoes, went back to his room to put down his schoolbag, and then went out to wash his hands.

The mother, on the other hand, glanced at the two worriedly, and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes: "Eat now."

She wanted to ease the tense atmosphere between the two of them with the food she cooked so hard.

In fact, since his husband came back from get off work until now, he hasn't said a word, just sitting on the sofa and looking at his phone.

This made Xie Lan already have a premonition—tonight, I am afraid it will not be good...

※※※

Xie Lan's premonition was correct. When Hu Lai finished washing his hands and sat down at the dining table, Hu Lixin put down his mobile phone, looked up at him and said, "Forget about the football you've already played. But professional teams, Don't go."

Hu Lai glanced at her mother in surprise——Mom, I heard you didn't mention this, it was my father who brought it up...

Then he looked at his father, took a deep breath, and asked, "Why?"

"No reason." Hu Lixin said blankly. "If you say you are not allowed to go, then you are not allowed to go."

"Dad, you are always like this!" Hu Lai couldn't help it, and protested loudly, "It used to be the same, when I asked you why when I was not allowed to play football, you said there was no reason, and if you asked me not to play football, I would not play... Not a three-year-old anymore! In a few months I'll be eighteen and an adult!"

"I'll be your old man again when I grow up!" Seeing that Hu Lai dared to yell at him, Hu Lixin also slapped the table emotionally.

Xie Lan, who was serving dishes in the kitchen, heard the sound of quarrels erupting in the living room, put down the dishes she had picked up, put her hands on the stove, and pressed her lips together tightly.

"So what if you are my dad? You are my dad and you can't restrict my personal freedom! You are my dad and you can't let me do what I have to do! There is no such reason in the world! Why don't you let me I play soccer?! If it's because I'm not talented, I'm telling you, Dad, I'm talented now! Even the pro scouts and managers say I'm talented! If you don't believe it... "

Having said that, Hu Lai turned around and rushed into his bedroom, and when he came out, he held the schoolbag he had carried back in his hand. He opened the schoolbag, took out the contents and placed them on the empty dining table one by one.

A Golden Boot, a Golden Globe, and a gold medal.

"I led the team to the championship in the national competition. I scored twelve goals and was the top scorer. I was also the best player in this national competition! There are so many high schools in the country, but in the end there are only thirty-two The national competition that the school team can participate in, I am the strongest here! Even Chen Xingyi was defeated by me! And it took me less than two years to do all this! I have talent! Why can't I try professional football..."

Hu Lai asked loudly and repeatedly, as if he wanted to vent all the unwillingness and injustice in his heart.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his father's shout: "Because I can't get through!"

"It doesn't work? How do you know it won't work if you don't try?" Hu Lai snorted.

"I've walked, I know it won't work!"

Hu Lai was stunned: "You... walked by?"

"Your dad... used to be a professional player." Mom's voice sounded.

Hu Lai turned her head to look over, and found that her mother was standing at the door of the kitchen at some point, leaning against the door frame weakly.

Then he turned his surprised eyes to his father.

Sitting on the sofa, Hu Lixin snorted coldly: "What kind of professional player? How can there be a 'professional player' who has never played a professional game?"

Then he looked at Hu Lai again, pinched his knee and said, "Do you know why my knee hurts on a rainy day?"

"Didn't you say... rheumatism?" Hu Lai said the standard answer his parents had told him before.

"Actually, it's not rheumatism, it's an injury from playing football..." Xie Lan gave the correct answer.

"Injury from playing football?" Hu Lai froze for a moment, then grinned, "Dad, you were injured because of playing football and didn't go this way, so why don't you let me go this way?"

Although he didn't like his father, he never thought that his father would be a coward who yelled that football would not work out because he was injured and retired...

"You know what a fart!" Hu Lixin shouted suddenly, startling Hu Lai. "Do you think my knee was injured when I bumped into someone in the game? Or did I sprain it myself? Let me tell you, kid, my knee was kicked by my teammates during training!"

Hu Lai looked in shock at the right knee his father was pointing at.

"Do you know why he kicked my knee? Because I competed with him for a spot in the first team! He beat me in training just for this spot in the first team! Why don't I want you Going to play professional football? That's why! It's okay if you're not talented, but you say you're talented, and you're going to be a thorn in the side of that guy! You think professional football is what you see on TV Look? With fans, money, luxury cars, mansions... what you see is just an illusion! What is real professional football? It's thousands of ignorant kids like you competing for a spot! A success Under the feet of the losers are countless losers!

"Those losers have no luxury cars, no mansions, no fans, and no money! They worked as hard as the winners, but in the end they became losers for one reason or another! Don't think they didn't work hard enough, they worked harder than you now Ten times! But what?! There are only 16 Chinese Super League teams, 18 Chinese A teams, and 32 Chinese B teams. In such a big country, with a population of 1.4 billion, there are only 66 professional teams in total. Team, every kid who plays football says they're going to be pros...there's no fucking place for you guys!"

Hu Lixin roared angrily, and stood up from the sofa. He was half a head taller than his son and glared at Hu Lai condescendingly.

Seeing this, Xie Lan wanted to come up to persuade her husband, but Hu Lixin seemed to want to spit out the breath that had been held back for decades. He had a lot to say in his heart, so he threw away his wife's arm abruptly, and used Staring at Hu Lai with cannibalistic eyes.

"Do you think you are walking on a bright road?! No! This is a fucking single-plank bridge! You know ideals, ideals, ideals all day long...Is the ideal edible or spendable? What's so great about having ideals? You can't even afford a bigger house Do you think I want to be a security guard? Do you think I want to stand outside the gate every day to salute people? Do you think I want to be scolded by the owners of luxury cars so that I can’t even lift my head! As long as I have a degree, read more After a few years, I can be a security guard?! Fuck!"

In Hu Lai's eyes, Hu Lixin was always serious and often criticized him, but it was the first time he had seen such a swearing-mouthed appearance that almost lost his composure like today. He was frightened and dumbfounded. He stared straight at his father.

Or, no longer a father, but just a raging middle-aged man.

Hu Lixin panted heavily, and sat down slowly, his voice finally stopped being high-pitched, and he was much older: "I don't allow you to go to the Sea God team, the Sea King team, you just go to school honestly and take the college entrance examination. Even if you take the exam No matter how bad the university is, it is better than you playing professional football!"
