Li Qingqing was holding the rice bowl, and her chopsticks were picking up the rice in the bowl, but she didn't put it into her mouth.
She was simulating what she was going to say next in her mind.
How can I point out the theme without leaving any trace, without making my father suspicious?
After thinking about it, she thought that Hu Lai's hat trick in this game was already very sensational. After all, everyone had seen his previous performance, and the way he scored three goals was too topical.
So now it seems normal for me to take the initiative to talk about it at the dinner table.
In addition, Hu Lai is his classmate, so it makes sense that he cares a little more than others.
Thinking of this, Li Qingqing cheered herself up in her heart, and then pretended to be casual and said: "Dad, did you know? The person who completed the hat trick with his face today is my classmate."
Li Ziqiang picked up a piece of green pepper with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He said without raising his head: "Oh, really?"
A bit perfunctory.
Li Qingqing curled her lips out of sight of her father, and then continued: "Can dad be selected for the school team?"
Li Ziqiang shook his head: "No."
Hearing this answer, Li Qingqing was a little anxious, and her voice suddenly became louder without being able to control it: "Why?!"
It was only then that Li Ziqiang raised his head and looked at his daughter strangely.
Under her father's gaze, Li Qingqing regained her composure. She quickly explained: "I found that he is still talented. His three goals were not just luck..."
Her words were interrupted by Li Ziqiang: "I know what talent you are talking about. His sense of smell is indeed very sensitive in front of the door."
"Yes, Dad, you also discovered it..." Li Qingqing pretended to be surprised.
"However, this alone is useless. His basic skills are far, far away from many things. It can be said that except for his sense of smell in front of the goal, he is useless." Li Ziqiang changed the subject, "He is just a blank piece of paper. If
When he was five or six years old, I would definitely recruit him. But now that I am a middle school coach, I recruit people who have a certain foundation, not those who have no foundation at all. No matter how good you feel in front of the goal, stop the ball.
If it can’t stop, is it useful?”
Li Qingqing knew that her father was right, but she still refused to give in and retorted feebly: "But he scored three goals..."
"Those three balls have a strong element of luck, which doesn't mean anything." Li Ziqiang shook the chopsticks in his hand, "Eat, eat."
Li Qingqing still wanted to try harder, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
She was afraid that if she continued talking, her father would be suspicious. If she asked, "Why are you so concerned?", wouldn't she be speechless?
So he sighed inwardly and put the rice in the bowl into his mouth.
At the same time, in her mind, she was already thinking about how to comfort Hu Lai - since her father had said so, then the matter of him joining the school team was considered completely dirty.

Hu Lai sat at the desk with an English book open in front of him.
In his hand was a small test tube with a capacity of about twenty milliliters. The mouth of the small test tube had a soft stopper.
There is a colorless and transparent liquid in the test tube.
This is the mission reward he got from the system - [Marrow Cleansing Potion].
Different from the excitement and impatience the first time, this time Hu Lai waited until he got home and his parents had finished washing and were lying on the bed before choosing to take out the reward from the system space.
He didn't eagerly open it in school just to enjoy this moment to himself.
Last time, he drank it in a hurry in the school toilet because of the pungent smell, and there was no sense of ritual at all.
Putting the [Marrow Cleansing Potion] in his hand on the book, he rubbed his hands together, licked his lips, stared at the bottle of [Marrow Cleansing Potion] and swallowed: "Wow! Awesome!"
After completing this ritual, Hu Lai unplugged the test tube and poured all the liquid in the bottle into his mouth.
He did not rush to swallow the potion, but put it in his mouth and rinsed it, wanting to feel the taste of the potion carefully.
The last time he was in the toilet, the smell in the surrounding environment was too strong, and he didn't know what the potion smelled like.
After tasting it so carefully now, Hu Lai found that the taste of the [Marrow Cleansing Potion] was no different from the mineral water he drank.
If you give it to people who don't know the inside story, they might really feel like they took a sip of mineral water.
After swallowing all the potion, Hu Lai did not throw away the bottle. After the last experience, he knew that the bottle and cork would disappear within a few seconds after he drank the [Marrow Cleansing Potion]
They are completely clean, as if they have never been in this world before. There is no need to worry about anyone discovering any clues through these bottles.
After drinking the [Marrow Cleansing Potion], Hu Lai closed his eyes and carefully experienced the changes in his body... Of course, he didn't experience any changes.
There is no feeling of pleasure all over the body, nor is there any warmth rising from the lower abdomen and spreading to the whole body...
There is no special feeling at all.
It seems that the effect of this thing can only be felt when he starts exercising.
After an experience, Hu Lai no longer worried about whether the [Marrow Cleansing Potion] was effective. He re-entered the system. This time, there was a shining golden treasure box floating in front of him, waiting for him to open it.
This is another reward for completing the hat trick mission, the mysterious gift package.
He opened the treasure chest without hesitation, and after a flash of golden light, a bottle of yellow test tube floated in front of him.
At the same time, information about this bottle of yellow liquid also appeared in Hu Lai's mind:
[Smart Potion]: After taking it, the training effect of the user will be improved for thirty days.
"I wiped it..." After seeing this message, Hu Lai couldn't help but cursed.
At first he was a little disappointed when he saw something came out of the shiny golden treasure box after opening it.
Because when I opened the novice gift package before, three things came out: [Marrow Cleansing Potion], [One Thousand Points] and a [Lottery Ticket].
As a result, this mission was more difficult, but only one item was released in the gift package. The system was too stingy!
But after seeing what this thing was, Hu Lai's previous complaints were all thrown out the window.
What is the biggest gap between you and Luo Kai?
Isn't it because Luo Kai has received various professional football training since childhood and has at least ten years of training accumulation, but he is almost a blank slate?
Although he has started training very hard and has the help of Li Qingqing, Hu Lai still knows that the gap between him and Luo Kai is like a chasm.
While he is training, Luo Kai will definitely be training as well. How can he catch up with Luo Kai when everyone is training in the same way?
Now this tube of yellow potion gave Hu Lai the answer.
Although the information did not clearly state how much the training effect would be improved, Hu Lai already had some experience through the [Marrow Cleansing Potion].
[Marrow Cleansing Potion] also did not say how much it would improve various physical qualities, but Hu Lai could still feel the changes to the body through training.
I think this [Smart Potion] should be the same. I won't tell you the specific value, but the change must be something Hu Lai can feel personally.
Although he would not catch up with Luo Kai soon after drinking it, it gave Hu Lai hope of catching up with Luo Kai.
And hope is something as precious as diamonds in this era...
Just have hope!
Thinking of this, Hu Lai felt that the bridge of his nose hit by the ball didn't hurt so much - everything was worth it!
The only regret is that it can only last for thirty days. It would be awesome if it could take effect permanently...
Because it was only valid for thirty days, Hu Lai didn't rush to drink the potion. He could only play football for one day this week, and then there was a three-day blank period in which he could not train. Drinking it now would not be a waste.
How many days?
He plans to wait until there is continuous training time next week before using it.
Despite this, he still took the potion out of the system space, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
There is a yellow liquid in the small glass tube, which looks like a bottle of orange juice, and it is also the kind of low-quality orange juice that must have added a lot of coloring.
But Hu Lai knew that this was probably the most delicious "orange juice" in the world.
After just admiring it, Hu Lai carefully took the [Smart Potion] back into the system space.
※※※
Lying in bed, Li Qingqing stared at the moon outside the window in a daze, and she thought of Hu Lai again.
I used to think that as long as Hu Lai completed the school team entrance examination, I wouldn't have to teach him how to play football.
But tonight her mind changed.
If she hadn't seen Hu Lai's talent, it would be difficult for her to give up on this boy now.
He is obviously talented, and he obviously does not need to bear the ridicule and contempt... Dad said that his foundation is too poor, she admits this. But so what?
Just start training, three days a week, in the open space outside, teach him by yourself, starting from the most basic things, and teach him for a year.
One year later, she couldn't believe it was still a blank piece of paper!
Thinking of this, Li Qingqing turned over, turned her back to the bright moon outside the window, closed her eyes, and fell into longing for that future...
The corners of her mouth turned up, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
