At the same time, in a room decorated in a Chinese style, Sun Jianjun sat down on the sofa and adjusted the TV channel to the CBS sports news program.
Although he didn't have time to cheer on his eldest nephew, he still knew Li Kaiming's schedule well.
Today was a game between Memphis and Michigan. When he was in the restaurant in the morning, he heard two customers talking about today's game. One of them swore that there was absolutely no way Memphis could beat Michigan.
When he heard the man's narration, Sun Jianjun clenched his fists instantly.
Although he didn't know much about basketball games, he knew that his precious nephew was at the University of Memphis, so he naturally wanted to support the University of Memphis.
So when he heard someone saying that his nephew would lose, he wanted to rush out and refute it on the spot!
But he still restrained himself. Most of the customers in Chinese restaurants were regular customers. If he offended the customers, the popularity accumulated over the years would be destroyed.
Moreover, what the man said was quite reasonable, and his analysis seemed to make some sense to his ears.
Could it be that Kaiming would really lose today? Sun Jianjun's heart suddenly tightened.
So as soon as he got home, he rushed to the living room and turned on the TV. Counting the time, the game should be over by this time, and he didn't know what the result would be.
Sun Jianjun felt uneasy in his heart. He had full confidence in Li Kaiming, but the customer's analysis sounded so professional, so professional that he was also a little pessimistic about the outcome of the competition!
In the kitchen, Sun Lan was busy cooking. She looked back at her husband sitting in the living room, curled her lips secretly, and murmured in a voice that only she could hear, "Why didn't I see you look like this when I was working?" Be positive, you look like a monkey in the zoo waiting for tourists to feed bananas..."
Sun Jianjun's posture was indeed very monkey-like. He was huddled on the sofa, craning his neck and staring at the TV, for fear of missing some important news.
Just when he was almost going crazy waiting, the familiar NCAA logo finally appeared on the TV screen!
Sun Jianjun immediately sat up straight, staring at the screen without blinking. At the same time, his hand involuntarily clenched the remote control, squeezing the plastic shell loudly.
Sun Lan in the kitchen also heard the noise coming from the TV. She slowed down her cooking speed and stretched her ears to listen to the news.
"Welcome to today's NCAA sports news phase. First, let us introduce the results of today's March Madness games. There are 8 games in the four divisions today. There are two games that have not been played tonight, and the other 6 games It's all over. In the Midwest Division, the most eye-catching game was held at the Veterans Memorial Arena in Spokane, Washington. The University of Memphis Tigers defeated the University of Michigan Spartans 82:63 and entered the Sweet Sixteen. In this game, the University of Memphis starting center Li Kaiming performed well. He scored 36 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals. Five statistics were the highest in the game. He broke the NCAA historical record and became the first person in history to complete this game. Feat player!”
Sun Jianjun rubbed his eyes and stared at the TV twice to confirm that the person in the video was his nephew Li Kaiming.
Then he twisted his thigh unbelievingly, and after feeling the burning pain on his skin, he clapped his hands and started laughing!
In the kitchen, Sun Lan held a half-peeled potato in one hand and a peeler in the other, staring blankly ahead, as if someone had cast a body-holding spell.
Sun Jianjun ran to the kitchen excitedly, "Hahaha, my wife, Kaiming won again! And what kind of record was set? I don't understand it, but this record is very impressive when I hear it, and it also made history!"
Sun Lan turned around with an unnatural smile on his face, "Old Sun, I heard it. Is Kaiming definitely going to be in the NBA in the future?"
Sun Jianjun didn't seem to notice the change in his wife's mentality, and the excitement on his face had not subsided. He said casually, "That's natural. If Kai Ming is so good at playing, why would anyone want him in the NBA?"
Sun Lan's body swayed. She quickly grabbed the table next to her, stabilized her body, and said with a bitter smile, "Old Sun, Kaiming will get better and better in the future. Will he retaliate against me? I was so right back then. he……"
There was a hint of crying at the end of the sentence.
Sun Jianjun was stunned. He didn't expect his wife to think so much.
But when he thought about what Sun Lan did to Li Kaiming, he also fell silent.
When Li Kaiming became an orphan, he felt pity for his nephew and wanted to take him back. Since he didn't have a son, he adopted him as his son.
But his wife Sun Lan was firmly opposed, and the two had a few big quarrels over this.
As the head of the family, he later took Li Kaiming in despite the pressure from Sun Lan. But Sun Lan saw that the deal was done, so he no longer objected, and instead made every possible effort to make things difficult for the young Li Kaiming.
When Li Kaiming reached school age, Sun Jianjun wanted to pay for Li Kaiming to go to school, but Sun Lan also obstructed him in every possible way. In his daily life, he did not give Li Kaiming a good look at all!
Later, when Li Kaiming became famous in the basketball field, Sun Lan had some opinions on him, but he did not become close to him because of it.
Until Li Kaiming ruptured his Achilles tendon during a high school game, Sun Lan came out halfway and said bluntly to Li Kaiming on the hospital bed, your life is over, you might as well drop out of school and come to their restaurant to help!
And how could Li Kaiming, a five-star high school student and a proud man of heaven, give up his basketball dream? After being discharged from the hospital, he knelt in front of his uncle Sun Jianjun, kowtowed three times, and said with tears streaming down his face, "Uncle. , Kaiming has lived for more than ten years now, and has been involved in basketball for at least ten years. I really can’t give up on it! Can you lend me the money to go to college? When I make a name for myself, I’ll give it to you The profit will be returned to you!"
How could Sun Jianjun, who regarded Li Kaiming as his son, watch his eldest nephew become a passerby from now on, and how could he lend him money.
Behind his wife's back, he took out half of the family's savings and let Li Kaiming go to college at his own expense. After being discovered by Sun Lan, he slept on the sofa for a whole year and is still sleeping in the living room.
Sun Jianjun patted his wife on the shoulder, sighed and comforted, "Kai Ming is probably not the kind of person you think. Be nice to him in the future and he will understand you..."
Sun Lan sniffed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, turned back and stared at Sun Jianjun and said, "How about, Old Sun, you can go back to the bedroom to sleep tonight."
Sun Jianjun's body trembled, and there was unconcealable excitement and disbelief in his tone, "W-what did you just say?"
An imperceptible red color appeared on Sun Lan's face. She turned her head away and said, "I will let you go back to the bedroom to sleep tonight. Will you go back?"
Sun Jianjun nodded immediately, "Hua Hua Hua!" He was afraid that Sun Lan would regret it the next second.
Sun Jianjun sat back on the sofa, touched the sofa nostalgically, and murmured, "It's been a year, and I still feel a little reluctant to leave you..."
Sun Jianjun couldn't help but smile when he thought that it was because of Li Kaiming that he could go back to the bedroom to sleep.
This brat, my training was not in vain...
