  "Hmph!" Li Dongfang turned his head, muttering to himself "I didn't think this stinky little fourth-grader not only writes well, but also plays basketball so fiercely!"

  It's actually more accurate to describe it as "not that Su Zhan is too strong, but rather his opponents are too weak."

  Panting and gasping for breath, he returned to the rest area and shouted "You guys go ahead and play, I'll take a break." Li Dongfang somehow bought back a bottle of drink and handed it to Su Shicun "Here, water."

  "Thanks, Class Monitor." Half a bottle of drink was gone in one gulp.

  "How's that, class monitor? I'm awesome, right?" Li Dongfang hummed, "Awesome what? Not as awesome as those basketball stars in the league."

  "I'm dizzy, that's for sure, how can an amateur like me compare with a professional like him?"

  Drenched in sweat, but this feeling is really cool. Guys should be sweating under the sun and then win the victory.

  After resting, they went down and played for a while. Only when it got dark and couldn't see clearly did they return home separately.

  Returned home and took a bath, it's been a long time since I had dinner with my parents at home.

  In the movie "The Godfather", Marlon Brando, who played Vito Corleone, once said: "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man." Although Su Rui Chen is still just a boy and not yet a man, he remembers this sentence vividly and also thinks it makes a lot of sense.

  Today, I finally got to eat at home, so Su Rui Chen didn't code or write articles, but instead ran into the kitchen to help her mother Wei Xin. Writing and coding can be done anytime, but time spent with parents is getting less and less.

  After buying a new house, Su Xichen had never been to the kitchen and was still unfamiliar with it. However, he could still complete tasks such as chopping vegetables and cleaning fish.

  "A'chen, what are you doing here? The kitchen is fine with just me, these things aren't for you to do." Wei Xindai chased Su Rixing out of the kitchen.

  "What can't I do that you can? You're my mom and you can do it, what can't I do as your son?" Picks up the kitchen knife "How do you gut this fish?"

  Wei Xin saw that Ruan was being stubborn, but Su Xian didn't say anything else. "We're having spicy fish for dinner tonight."

  "Spicy fish is my favorite." As soon as Su Xichen said that, he felt his saliva was about to flow out.

  "Look at you, drooling like that, just like your dad." Wei Xin rolled her eyes. "Your dad has been wanting to eat it for a long time, but he never got around to making it. Cooking fish is quite a waste of time, and now that Ah Chen is back, it's just right."

  "Put down the knife, you'll hurt yourself in a moment." Wei Xin hastily snatched the knife from Su Rui Chen's hand.

  Su Shi couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. Was it that in his own heart, he could only hold a brush?

  Did he really think he was like Liu Xiyi's "Gongzi Xing" where "his ten fingers never touched the Yang Spring water"?

  "Mom, you're underestimating me too much."

  "Don't look down on him, your dad is coming back, don't cause trouble. Ah Chen, if you really want to help, just go peel the potatoes over there."

  Make trouble? Peel potato skin?

  It's really unbearable, I snatched the kitchen knife from my mother Wei Xin's hand, put the live fish on the chopping board, first stunned it with the back of the knife, then cut open its belly and took out its internal organs.

  Apart from fish bladder, nothing else is edible, of course people in Northwest China don't even eat fish bladder.

  Then use a knife to scrape off the fish scales, and finally cut the fish into slices. The slices cannot be too thin, as they will easily become overcooked, nor can they be too thick, or they won't absorb the flavors and it won't be spicy and numbing fish anymore.

  The whole set of movements was extremely familiar and smooth, like a flowing cloud. Old mother Wei Xin looked at it with wide eyes: "Wow, Ah Chen learned this skill from where?"

  "I'm a genius, I can naturally understand this kind of thing." Su Xichen said with an arrogant expression.

  "Look at your smug face." Wei Xin said so, but his tone revealed a hint of relief.

  Wei Xin added various seasonings to the pot while asking "Achen, how long will you be staying home this time?"

  "The filming is done, and this time I'm back home for good. Now I can enjoy mom's delicious cooking every day."

  "What delicious food, as long as it's not disgusting."

  "Mom's cooking is so delicious that even if I eat it for a lifetime, I'll still think it's great." Su Xichen said with a smile.

  "A-Chen, since the crew's work is done, can you go back to school now?" Again bringing up the topic of going back to school, previously because Su Xi-Chen was too busy working on the crew and couldn't attend classes, but just now he himself said that the crew's work is already finished.

  "My mom says that with my current reputation, I can choose any high school in Yangcheng, and even the best one, Yifan High School, would admit me through special recruitment."

  Wei Xin snapped her fingers at Su Xincheng's head, "Don't talk nonsense about fame, when doing things, look at your own ability, or you'll be gossiped about."

  It's been a long time since Wei Xin knocked on me, I forgot that my old mother still has this trick.

  Su Release's old mom is a traditional and fashionable person, traditional because of her traditional thinking, always telling others not to gossip even when she was in high school, and fashionable because Wei Xin especially likes to accept new things, such as some internet slang, often can be heard from Wei Xin's mouth one or two trendy phrases, and online shopping is more crazy than young people.

  At night, a family had a good dinner together. I don't know if it's because they hadn't eaten their own cooking for a long time, but the spicy fish was even more delicious than that of a five-star hotel.

  "Xiao Si, Xiao Si!" The next morning, Su Xian was woken up by a knock on the door and a shout.

  "Who is it? What's going on?" Su Rui Chen, who had just woken up, was the most annoyed when someone disturbed him while he was sleeping.

  "Little four is me, hurry up and open the door." Su Shichen had his own room and liked to lock the door when he slept. Su Shichen struggled to get out of bed, rubbed his eyes, and slowly opened the door.

  "What brings you here so early, Tiger?"

  "Did you watch yesterday's game?" Ma Jun sounded unhappy and his tone was gloomy.

  Su Shuangchen put on his clothes "What's wrong with the tiger?"

  "Did you watch the basketball World Cup last night?"

  "I didn't see it, I went to bed pretty early last night." Su Xichen shook his head.

  "Yesterday, the Huaxia national team lost to the Brunei national team in the World Cup. They lost the first set of the seven-set match." No wonder Ma Jun's face looked so ugly.

  "Tigers, you should be referring to Brunei Darussalam," Su Rui Chen said. "This Brunei is one of the richest countries in the world with natural gas and crude oil as its pillar, under the strong support of the country for basketball, it's normal that they can win."

  "Normal? Not normal at all! With our country's population of over a billion, and talents galore, this national team is even called the strongest one yet. And in such circumstances, we actually lost to Brunei, a tiny country with less than a million people! How can that be normal!!" This was the first time Su Xianchen saw Ma Jun so angry.

  "No big deal, aren't there six more games? Maybe this time was just an accident. Let's go online and see what the national team coach has to say."

  Turn on the computer, today's homepage news of web navigation is 【Explosive! National team lost to Brunei team】. After searching online, I found a statement from the coach of the Chinese national team: "The national team has just been integrated, and the players are still relatively unfamiliar with each other, but there won't be a next time, I dare to guarantee that we will definitely take revenge next time!"

  "Tigers, you see, the coach said it's because the team members are not familiar with each other yet, don't take it to heart. We have a seven-game winning system and we still have plenty of opportunities. Let this game go and let the Brunei national team be happy for now, then strike them unexpectedly." Ma Jun was soon comforted by Su Xichen.

  The Chinese national team and the Brunei national team's second game, three days later, was eager to avenge their previous defeat. However, they were already trailing by over ten points in the first half, and directly collapsed in the second half, losing by more than twenty points. This gap is not small.

  Confidently vowed to take revenge, but was beaten by more than 20 points, this is a complete reversal of God!

  The third game was finally won, but before the excitement of the next fourth and fifth games had even begun, the Brunei team and the Huaxia national team's match lost five games in seven innings, with two remaining innings one win and one draw.

  "What's the point of saying there's a chance to get into the top three, now can't even get out of the line, let alone top three, all nonsense!!" Ma Jun was really angry, and smashed his phone, but whether he would regret it later is unknown.

  "What made you so angry, Tiger? Is it because the Chinese basketball team didn't make it out of the group stage?"

  "No, I don't know why I'm so angry either." Ma Jun shook his head and remained silent for a while before speaking up. "The national team lost to Brunei's team, I was thinking of going to play a game of basketball to vent my frustrations today, but when I got to the basketball court, there was no one there. That basketball court is the only one in the area and it's usually very popular, people usually go to occupy the court early in the morning. I waited for a while but didn't see anyone coming, so I gave them a call..."

  "They told me that they won't play basketball anymore, even the national team of Brunei, a small country, can't beat them. What's the point of playing basketball? Playing tennis or soccer is better than playing basketball." Ma Jun said in a low tone.

  In short, it's because of the basketball World Cup in the past two weeks. The Chinese national team lost to Brunei, and before that, the country had been promoting this year as the strongest year for the national team, with a possible top three finish. However, the final outcome was a huge reversal, losing 1:6 to Brunei in the group stage and failing to advance.

  It's okay if we lost to some basketball powerhouses, but losing to Brunei, a country with less than one million people, is unbearable.

  Students play basketball just because of interest, this age is the age of youthful passion, can sweat for a basketball, and this interest can also dissipate very quickly, just like this time.

  Moreover, there were reports online that the national team's head coach had been dismissed, but what's the use, the fans' lost confidence cannot be regained in a short period of time.

  This blow to students' interest in basketball is fatal, just as Ma Jun said, his friends have all stopped playing basketball.

  "Tigers don't do that, this time it's probably just a mistake by the national team..." Ma Jun interrupted Su Xichen's words. "Don't mention it, Xiaosi, the national team is always making excuses. The first time they lost, they said it was because the members were still in the running-in period, the second time they lost, they said it was because of a bad state that day, the third time they lost, they said it was because of bad luck and Brunei's good fortune, what about the fourth time? The fourth time was because of unfamiliarity with the venue, until the fifth time when they were already eliminated, but there are always excuses, one by one."

  Ma Jun's tone had a somewhat disheartened and disappointed meaning "No one wants to play basketball, forget it, I'll just play video games instead."

  Ma Jun stood up and waved his hand "Bye bye, Xiao Si, I'll go first."

  Ma Jun left, Su Shichen didn't want to stay at home either. He walked onto the street and unknowingly arrived at the basketball court where he had played with Ma Jun and Li Dongfang three days ago. Two weeks ago, there were two teams competing in a half-court game on this very same court, but now it was empty without a single person.

  Seeing this scene, Su Rui's heart was suddenly touched somewhere, feeling that he should do something...
