Chapter 36 Parenthood

Hu Lai's body aches and pains didn't get better within a day, so when the school team started training after school in the afternoon, his awkward movements became the most eye-catching boy in the school team...

Naturally, Li Ziqiang's roar sounded unceremoniously.

"Hu Lai! What are you doing? You can't even do the warm-up moves properly. If you want to get hurt, just say it!"

"Give me the right moves!"

"Warm up! You can't even do such a simple warm-up, and you still want to practice with the team! What are you dreaming of!"

Such shouts resounded throughout the stadium, and again and again aroused the laughter of the people on the sidelines and in the stands.

Li Qingqing, who was also standing in the stands, didn't smile even once. She kept her lips pursed and her brows tightly frowned.

When it was time to eat at night, she expressed her doubts to her father: "Dad, I think you are a little too strict with that Hu Lai? The amount of training arranged is obviously more and heavier than others... "

"I have to be strict enough with him to be worthy of his talent." Dad replied.

"Ah?" Li Qingqing didn't realize the relationship between the two all of a sudden.

Facing his daughter, Li Ziqiang changed his ferocious appearance in front of the players, and explained to her gently and patiently: "You are right, Qingqing, that Hu Lai is very talented, so I finally decided to give him a chance. Get into the team. But just being talented is not enough. As you can see, the kid can do almost nothing but talent. He has so much to learn, but time is limited, we can't give him ten years to come Practice slowly, like those children who receive football training from a young age. He has very little time, if I don’t increase the amount of training and make strict demands on him, when will he realize his talent?”

This rhetorical question made Li Qingqing silent. She knew that her father was right, but when she thought of the laughter against Hu Lai that was heard from the sidelines of the training ground today, she was unwilling to admit it, as if once she admitted, those people The ridicule of Hu Lai became a matter of course.

Facing his speechless daughter, Li Ziqiang said earnestly: "I am so strict for his own good, maybe he will resent me in his heart now, but I think one day, he will appreciate the rigorous training he received today of."

Hu Lai confirmed one thing more and more, that is, the [Smart Potion] he drank back then was working.

Today's training is more intense than yesterday's training, and the effect of training improvement is more obvious.

He found that this degree of obviousness was even more serious than what he felt after drinking the [Marrow Cleansing Potion].

He wished that tomorrow's training volume would be bigger and the storm would be more violent. After all, the time for three training sessions this week was about to run out, and it would be next week when the school team resumed training.

Of course, it would be better if the body is not so sore after training.

He has already decided that since this [Potion of Wisdom] is so effective, he plans to exchange all the 2,000 points in his hand for lottery tickets, and then take them to the lottery, hoping to draw more [Potion of Wisdom].

Then after the 30-day bottle of potion expired, he would drink another bottle, so seamlessly connected, wouldn't it mean it was permanently effective?

Thinking of this bright future, Hu Lai couldn't help laughing.

Sheilan had been surreptitiously watching her son during the meal, but she later found out that she didn't have to "sneak" at all because her son didn't notice her gaze.

He seemed to be immersed in his own spiritual world, and eating was nothing more than a mechanical movement—reaching out to the plate, picking up anything, whether it was a piece of meat or ginger, and putting it into his mouth, chewing repeatedly, Swallow it again.

His eyes didn't need to focus during the whole process,

The brain doesn't need to think, even if he chews ginger, his brows won't frown.

And now there was an undisguised smile on his face.

Such a thing had almost never happened to Hu Lai before. Or how long has it been since a mother has seen her son smile so happily?

Since he was in junior high school, since he entered puberty.

He is more and more used to burying his thoughts in his heart, not telling them, and not writing a diary, so even if parents want to peek at the diary to understand their children's psychological state, they can't do it .

When was the last time he spoke his mind outright?

Oh, that time he overheard that we borrowed 350,000 foreign debts just to send him to Dongchuan Middle School.

He said what he really thought, and in exchange for a slap from his father.

Xie Lan certainly knows that this kind of hiding his true thoughts is not good, and of course he knows that there should be more communication between parents and children, but those educational books only tell you these principles, but they don't tell you what to do.

What should you do when your child closes his heart to you?

Seeing Hu Lai's undisguised smile, Xie Lan asked, "What's so happy about it? Tell mom about it?"

Then she saw that the moment her son came back to his senses, the smile on his face disappeared. Soon a smile appeared on her son's face again, but based on Xie Lan's understanding of him, she knew that the two smiles were completely different.

She saw her son smiling and saying to herself: "Dopamine, Mom. This is the theory I told you. After exercising, a lot of dopamine will be secreted. Dopamine can make people feel happy and energetic! So you see Playing football is actually helpful to my studies, right?"

Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?

Xie Lan showed a gratified smile: "Oh, is it? That's not bad..."

She sighed inwardly.

The son is covering up with a hippie smile and gags, which is gentler than closing the door directly, putting on headphones and not wanting to listen to his parents' nagging, but he still doesn't communicate or communicate.

The door on the physical level is not closed, but the door of the heart is very tightly closed.

Forty-six-year-old Hu Lixin is standing on the guard platform outside the security booth. His slightly loose security uniform makes him look a little funny. If someone puts his image together with those soldiers, they are all wearing uniforms , everyone will easily draw a conclusion-look, this is the difference between the puppet army and the regular army!

Hu Lixin wore a big hat and raised his hands to salute everyone who passed by him.

Most of those hurrying people looked down at their mobile phones, showing no sign of Hu Lixin's salute.

They carried things and mobile phones, lowered their heads and passed in front of Hu Lixin, then took out their access control cards or directly touched the gate with their mobile phones, and walked into this well-managed, green five-star community like a park.

Those gardeners who are taking care of the green plants in the community will also take the initiative to bow to them and smile when they see these owners.

This is the most expensive neighborhood in this community, and the unit price of houses is generally 30 to 40% more expensive than the surrounding neighborhoods.

But there are still many people who choose to buy a house here. Looking at the park-like community environment and the reassuring security team, everyone who lives here feels that their houses are expensive and worth the money.

Hu Lixin applied to be the security guard of this community five years ago. His advantage is that he is tall, has a good image, and his strength is not low at first glance.

Although the work is hard, the salary is high anyway, and Hu Lixin is very satisfied with the job.

After another owner was sent away, Hu Lixin lowered his saluting arms. At this time, a person wearing the same uniform came out from behind, holding two lunch boxes, and sat on a chair next to the sentry platform. On the table.

"Old Hu, I've called you for dinner."

"Thank you, Lao Fan." Hu Lixin said without looking back.

"Eat first, I'll replace you when I'm done." Lao Fan said as he opened his lunch box.

"No rush, take your time."

"Oh, Lao Hu, you are on the night shift again today." Lao Fan took a mouthful of rice, wrapped it in his mouth and chewed, while sighing. "Three overnight shifts in a row every week, I think you're working too hard, right?"

"Just get used to it." Hu Lixin responded, and at the same time saluted another owner of the community who passed in front of him, welcoming the owner home.

Behind him came the sound of Lao Fan slurping his mouth while eating.

"Your body is indeed better than mine, tsk tsk... I work the night shift one day a week, and I feel like I'm going to die when I shift. It's too painful to stay here all night." Because there was food in his mouth, the old man Fan's voice was a little slurred.

"But it's worth the hard work. Your son is so proud that he was admitted to Dongchuan Middle School. That's the key point! Tsk tsk! If my son is as successful as your son, I would be willing to work three night shifts a day." !"

Hearing his colleagues praise his son, a smile appeared on Hu Lixin's face.

At this time, another owner passed by him, and he immediately raised his hand to salute and said loudly, "Good evening!"

This startled the owner, who was so absorbed in his mobile phone, he turned his head to look at the security guard with a sincere smile on his face, and for a moment didn't know what expression and tone to use to respond.

After swiping the card to enter the community, they all turned their heads and looked at the security guard with doubts.

I don't know if the security guard took the wrong medicine...
