Chapter 27 Running away from home
"It's nothing, it's just that the basketball coach is forcing me, I can't do anything." Yang Xiao scratched his head and said helplessly.
"You have no choice? If you don't want to, can someone else force you with a knife? When do you want to lie to me?" Qiu Zhang ignored Yang Xiao's tricks and asked directly.
"It's nothing. Participating in sports activities is beneficial to physical and mental growth, can also exercise, and can also meet many friends. Why is it not good?" Another plan came out, and I don't know where Yang Xiao learned so many explanations.
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't need you to teach me!" Qiu Zhang ignored his son Yang Xiao's tricks and said bluntly, "If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, it doesn't need any reason!"
Walton was secretly talking, and the education method of this Chinese family was obviously incompatible with the modern social spirit.
"Why? Do I have no autonomy at all?" The topic of the past has reached its end at this time, but today's situation is a little different. Yang Xiao seemed to have not realized his mistake and asked.
"You can have autonomy, but this matter is not possible. You should study hard and then get into a good university. Basketball is not something you should touch. Don't waste your studies and make a lot of bad friends. It will be troublesome at that time!" Qiu Zhang said.
Yang Xiao thought about the virtues of the famous basketball player Walton, and agreed with Qiu Zhang's words, but he never seemed to have no opinion on Yang Xiao, but he was not ready to give in at all today.
"I know what kind of friends I should make. I think participating in the basketball team will not delay my studies." Yang Xiao said with his neck twitching. He didn't know why he had the courage to say these words. Before he knew it, his personality had changed a little.
There was a silence in the room.
"I don't think there is any benefit to joining the basketball team. You won't really think that you have potential as the coach said, right? Why can't you put your energy into where you should? You can play basketball with those black people?" Qiu Zhang lowered his voice and looked at her son who was far taller than her, saying, "Why do you do something that will never succeed? What if you accidentally get hurt?"
Maybe this is nothing in Qiu Zhang's eyes, but Yang Xiao only felt a burst of passion rushing to his forehead and said in a rough voice: "I think I can play basketball and I can become a basketball player. Why do you think I can't do it?"
"If it doesn't work, it won't work. You can't talk nonsense!" Simple and rough is Qiu Zhang's way of dealing with male members in his family. Since it seems that Yang Xiao didn't listen to her, Qiu Zhang naturally resumed his rough rule, simple and direct, without any room for negotiation.
Obviously Qiu Zhang did not realize that Yang Xiao's personality had changed. It seemed that this usually high-pressure method was not applicable to him now.
Since the wrong method was chosen, Qiu Zhang would not get the right result.
Yang Xiao’s choice to resist was very simple. Of course, he was not so bold that he had a breakup with his mother. He just picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the house without hesitation!
A life without running away from home is imperfect.
"Don't come back when you leave!" Qiu Zhang also gave a standard and badly used line behind him.
――――――――
According to Walton's idea, Yang Xiao was at most outside for a while and then went back. Qiu Zhang thought so, but obviously Yang Xiao was not wandering around aimlessly. He seemed to have a place to go. After leaving home, he took a taxi to the entrance of a bar in Carson City not far away.
"Yang Xiao, long time no see, why are you here today and not going to class tomorrow?" As soon as you entered this bar, a Chinese girl greeted Yang Xiao. Her figure was about 1.70 meters. Among Chinese girls, she is tall. A typical oriental woman has a big face and a tight outfit that shows off her curves that are not moving but look a bit delicate and stylish.
"I like Ai. You kid don't show off your appearance oriental beauty. I didn't expect to know such an oriental beauty. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Walton came out at the right time and said, obviously he would always appear in time at this time.
Yang Xiao was not in a good mood at the moment, so he didn't mean to pay attention to Walton.
"Sister Lin Jia, my mother and I have a quarrel, so I'm out and stroll!" Yang Xiao sat in the corner and said to Lin Jia, who was hitting the waiter.
"It turns out that I ran away from home. We don't welcome minors here. You can sit in the corner for a while first, and I'll come to find you later." Lin Jia handed Yang Xiao a glass of juice and said.
Obviously, Yang Xiao didn't like the fact that he was a minor, but he had to sit in the corner.
"She is a friend of mine, so put away your nonsense!" Yang Xiao said to Walton, who was still chattering.
"It doesn't matter, friends can have many kinds of things, and they can develop slowly." It seemed that she felt that Yang Xiao was not in a good mood, so Walton said casually, and then disappeared into Yang Xiao's consciousness.
This is a pretty good bar near the center of Carson City. It is the most lively time. There are several of the best lighted basketball courts in Carson City nearby, so it is also one of the gathering places for streetball enthusiasts in Carson City. In every city in the United States, there are a large number of streetball enthusiasts, and there is a street basketball culture that is unimaginable to people in other countries.
Lin Jia is also a student of Mayer High School, but she is in the third year of high school, and is the first grade higher than Yang Xiao, which is in the twelfth grade. Lin Jia came to the United States from mainland China to attend high school. Because of some unknown reasons, at least Yang Xiao didn't know, Lin Jia had to do some part-time jobs in her spare time to do living expenses. Because there are not many Chinese in Mayer High School, Lin Jia and Yang Xiao have a good relationship.
Yang Xiao held a straw in his mouth and watched Lin Jia busy in the bar aimlessly. To be honest, he really had no place to go. Lin Jia was the only place he thought of. After calming down, Yang Xiao finally began to remember that he should consider how to face his mother Qiu Zhang's problem. This time his behavior was one of his few actions to resist. Of course, it was rare in the history of the Yang family.
