Because there was no direct flight from where Tang Qian lived, he had to get off the plane and transfer home. Fortunately, the distance was not far. After Tang Qian got off the bus, he chartered a taxi and went straight to his home.

This driver seemed to have never watched sports, so he didn't know Tang Qian. Along the way, he just kept talking to him about the changes in Y City in the past few years. What about going to the provincial capital and re-building roads for airplanes, and what about driving in XXXX places?

He went to a large shopping mall chain, about a certain beautiful star coming here to take pictures, etc. In short, although he talked about it in detail, Tang Qian listened with interest.

The country is undergoing rapid urbanization recently, and it is no exaggeration to say that one change occurs every year. As for Tang Qian himself, he has not been back for nearly two years, and many of the places and places he remembers have changed in detail.

However, these are all good changes. Y City is more prosperous and comfortable.

After paying the money, Tang Qian looked at his community, and suddenly a wave of emotions such as "excitement, hesitation, fear" came to his mind. He took a slight breath, then picked up his luggage and strode in. It might be that he was close.

It was time for lunch, so he didn’t meet anyone he knew along the way, but there were a few children he looked familiar to. If he thought about it carefully, his children must have grown up. Two years is not a long time for an adult, but

For children, it is an earth-shaking change.

From height to appearance, everything is different and changing with each passing day.

When he walked to the unit building where he lived, his breathing and heartbeat suddenly accelerated uncontrollably for some unknown reason.

There are 2 floors, and 1... Because it is an old house, there is no elevator. Tang Qian's huge figure walking in the corridor makes the space become increasingly narrow and cramped. But go up

The people in the building were not affected at all.

He was just counting the layers silently in his mind.

Walking to a slightly rusty gray security door, Tang Qian secured his luggage, then reached out and knocked on the door. In an extremely dull voice, he squeezed out: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

…

After a sumptuous home-cooked meal, Tang's mother began to take Tang Qian and look him up and down, constantly muttering the words "stronger", "firmer" and "more like a calf". Tang's father began to ask questions.

Tang Qian’s American Life.

Obviously, since their son started playing in the NBA, the old couple have been extremely concerned about things in the United States.

What about "shootings", about "California's new policies", about "unusual bad weather in the United States", etc., etc., etc., it seems that they know about it no less than Tang Qian, a person in the United States. However, Tang's father and Tang Qian

My mother was very understanding and didn't mention the negative news about Tang Qian at all. It was as if they didn't know about it at all.

In fact? It is impossible not to know that certain things about Tang Qian are causing a stir in both domestic and foreign sports circles. How could Tang's father and mother, who are extremely concerned about Tang Qian's news, not know about it? It's just that

In order to make their son feel at ease when he returns home, they had discussed it a few days ago and tried not to mention this aspect if possible, so as to avoid having to worry about their son when he came back.

Tang Qian's nose felt a little sore when he thought of this. His parents' love for him was absolutely exquisite.

So he took the initiative and said: "Dad, Mom, don't believe too much in those things on the Internet. There is no final conclusion about whether they are true or false. As long as your son and I play basketball well, everything will disappear in the end." Tang's father and Tang's mother nodded, as if

It is because he accepted Tang Qian’s statement.

But when Tang Qian found out that his parents were still "laid off", his anger suddenly increased. He wanted to argue, but was stopped by Tang's father, saying: "Forget it, we have guessed the general reason. If there was interference from above,

It's no use if you go to see Boss Zhang, there's no way he can disobey it. Besides, my son is promising, so it's not impossible for me to retire early and take care of myself."

"Dad, you..."

Tang's father waved his hand to signal Tang Qian not to continue talking. After all, they still stayed in the country most of the time. There were many things and they couldn't make the same decisions as Tang Qian.

On the first day, Tang Qian practiced strength using simple equipment at home, and then went to bed to end the first day after returning to China.

Early in the morning, he received a call, saying: "Tang, where are you? I've arrived at your house, why is there no one there?"

Is this voice? Taylor Swift? Tang Qian woke up and said, "It's Taylor. I'm not in Los Angeles now. I'm back in China." "Back in China???" A voice on the other end of the phone said excitedly: "When will you return to China?"

"Didn't you say that you would spend the entire offseason practicing?" Taylor's words clearly meant she complained about Tang Qian "cheating" her. After hearing this, Tang Qian said with a wry smile: "

I was planning to keep practicing, but my parents missed me, and I just wanted to relax, so I came back to China."

"When did you arrive? Did you go back alone?" Taylor asked a little confused.

"I just arrived yesterday. Of course I was alone, otherwise you would have traveled so far with me?" After Tang Qian finished speaking, Taylor said: "Well, okay, I understand, see you later." Then, the phone displayed.

, the call is over.

What the hell? See you later? Is she angry? Oh, woman, it’s really troublesome.

It was not easy for Tang Qian to return to his country. He was too lazy to think about it and quickly put the matter behind him.

After spending another whole day with his parents, Tang Qian called Lu Yang in the evening and asked him if he had time to come to Y City for a gathering. He could reimburse all the expenses. As for why Tang Qian didn't go there, firstly because

It's inconvenient. After all, Tang Qian is now a moderate celebrity and can easily cause blockage. Secondly, his main purpose of returning to China is to accompany his parents, so it's just one more day to spend time with him. You must know that during the Chinese New Year, foreigners

But it doesn't matter. So when he comes back this time, he will try not to stay away from Y City and his parents.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yang scolded Tang Qian as soon as he heard this, and then said loudly: "You look down on your brother so much? I'm not a poor guy? Do you still care about the transportation fee? Just wait, I will leave immediately, and arrive at Y City at about 7 o'clock in the evening

,We won’t come home until we get drunk tonight!”

After saying hello to his parents, Tang Qian put on a mask and went out. I used to think that celebrities wore this to "pretend to be cool", but now I know that it's not just to "pretend to be cool", no one wants to do it themselves

Their private time has become "public time", and celebrities also need their own "independent space".

Otherwise, wearing a "smile mask" every day will easily lead to physical and mental fatigue.

Of course it was impossible to stay up all night, but Tang Qian made an exception and drank some wine with Lu Yang. The two found a private room and chatted. The initial feeling of "stagnation" quickly dissipated. Lu Yang also felt that Tang Qian

They were friends enough that they had become big football stars, and they had no airs about themselves. Everything they said and said was the same as before. In this way, the two of them ate and drank, and soon it was 12 o'clock in the morning. Tang Qian opened a room nearby for Lu Yang.

Then take a taxi home.

There was an episode while taking a taxi. The driver happened to be a fan of Tang Qian. After he recognized Tang Qian, he asked Tang Qian to sign an autograph for him without asking for money, and then left happily. It can be seen that Y

Local fans in the city still maintain a lot of goodwill towards Tang Qian. As the saying goes, oh, we are fellow countrymen after all~

But after all, basketball stars are no better than entertainment stars, and only a limited number of people know about them. If you don't watch this sport, you won't even know his name, which saves Tang Qian a lot of trouble.

On the third day, Tang's father and Tang's mother told Tang Qian that his uncle and aunt were treating him to dinner and asked Tang Qian to clean up and go together. Although Tang Qian didn't want to meet these "snobbish" people, they were still relatives, so he could only nod in agreement. 10 am

At around 0:00, Tang Qian's family took a taxi to the community where his uncle and aunt lived. This is a mid-to-high-end community in Y City. The price is expensive, at least it is much higher than Tang Qian's home. I used to hear my aunt brag about it at parties.

, how hard it was for them to get this house, and it is the "king building" of this new development. Ordinary people don't even think about it. The people living in this building are either rich or officials, XXXX

That's awesome.

In the past, Tang Qian believed it to be true. Ordinary people did not have much knowledge or channels for understanding, so people said that wind is rain. But it is different now. Tang Qian spent a little money to inquire and found out that although this so-called "Lou Wangdong"

It is true that there are some well-known people living there, but the most they are worth is between a few million and ten million. This may not be bad in Y City, but it is definitely not as powerful as my aunt brags about. As for the officials, the biggest

He is only at the deputy director level, and he is still an idle unit, so he does not have much real power.

This is the real situation of this "Louwangdong".

Although Tang Qian doesn't have much money, he still has tens of millions of dollars. When converted into RMB, he has more than 70 to 80 million RMB. Among those with a net worth of tens of millions, he is considered to be in the upper reaches, and in the future, his wealth will only increase.

More, not less. So when he came to a place like this again, Tang Qian's confidence and mental state had fundamentally changed.

As soon as he entered the door, Tang Qian felt a sense of discomfort, because it was obvious that many relatives were called to his uncle's and aunt's house today, which was not exactly the same as what he said at the beginning.

"Oh, it turns out that Xiaoquan has been promoted, oh, to the rank of deputy section chief? That's very gratifying, that's great to congratulate. We didn't prepare a red envelope this time because we didn't have time. I hope my sister-in-law will forgive me. Please forgive me." Tang's mother had actually been saying this.

She doesn't even like the wife her brother married, because she always feels that her brother used to be filial and gentle, but it was with this wife that his whole temperament changed a lot. And this is the aspect she dislikes the least.

"Oh~ It's okay, it's okay. Your family's conditions are not good, and you've all been laid off. We won't care about it~ Come on, everyone, go and sit, everyone, go and sit~" What is meant by "a knife hidden in a smile" and "a needle hidden in a cotton pad"? This is daily life

The situation in the life version. It seems that it is okay, but I am not sure what to think. Otherwise, how can I just say things like "the conditions are not good" and "all are laid off again"? In front of so many relatives, it is purely for myself.

Parents are embarrassed.

My aunt has really not changed at all in all these years.

This surprise attack is just to prevent your family from escaping, right?

Indeed, my mother has given up on her aunt's banquets many times before. Why did she do this? Isn't it true that she has to "set the table" every two days and "receive red envelopes" for big things?

And you can't give less every time, otherwise she will not only take your money, but also tell you behind your back, making you feel uncomfortable.

How much does your parents earn per month? In City Y, the total income is just over 5,000. In addition, there are elderly people on both sides who need to be supported. There is not much spare money to "fight the autumn breeze" for my aunt. You can earn 500-1,000 once you do it.

, it happened too many times, Tang’s father and Tang’s mother really couldn’t bear it.

City Y is not a big city, even the second and third tiers are poor. In addition, the geographical location is not along the coast, so the salary level has always been far from what it is in "TV series" and "novel". In fact, except for provincial capitals, big cities and coastal cities,

In ordinary inland provinces, wages are generally not high, and these cities are the true face of more than 70 to 80% of China's cities. After all, 1.4 billion people cannot all be distributed in these places. Ordinary third-tier, fourth-tier and even small cities

In the county town, apart from those doing business, how many ordinary office workers can you think of?

If everything was as written in the "TV series" and "novel", China would have already caught up with Europe and the United States and dominated the world.

People often tend to ignore the most common things, because the eyes, from a physiological structure, are on the head, not the feet. But these are the life of ordinary people, and they are the basic necessities of life for ordinary people.

Tang Qian didn't want these relatives to see his joke, so he was about to pay the bill, but his father saw this action. He stopped Tang Qian with his hand, and then shook his head inaudibly.

When Tang Qian saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and then stopped taking out his wallet.

Tang's father's actions made him understand that he still thought too simply. The relationship between people, even relatives, is sometimes very complicated. They are all in the same city, and you can't see each other without looking up unless necessary.

, there is really no need to criticize others and make them feel resentful.

Appropriate forbearance is an Eastern philosophy, and the older generation is very familiar with this principle.

Just after returning home, Tang Qian didn't want to undermine his father's wishes, so he chose to obey.

But soon, another "story" happened.

Because Tang Qian's family did not give any "gift money", my aunt was ridiculing Tang's father and Tang's mother intentionally or unintentionally during the whole conversation. However, Tang's father and Tang's mother had calm expressions on their faces and did not mean to vent their anger at all. This was not the case before.
