Chapter 122: Passionate Old Man Loves Shooting
"Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest. The grocery store function is being updated."
"You have new rewards to claim, please check them in time."
As the system finished speaking, bags of seeds wrapped in paper appeared on the shelves of the grocery store. The name and planting precautions were written on each paper bag.
The seeds were neatly placed in a small uncovered wooden box, which was enough to prove the owner's care.
Xiao De's exclamation sounded at the right time: "These are seeds from the farming plane, famous for their high quality and high yield."
"Host, there is a note next to it."
Lin Qinglan picked up the note. The beautiful and neat handwriting was pleasing to the eye: "Stranger, if possible, go home for me."
On the back of the note there was a line of small words that looked a little blurry as if they had been wet by tears.
She said she wanted to go home.
"Host, I want to remind you."
"This world has many folded parallel time and space, which means that the address the person wrote may not be the person she wants to meet."
What Xiao De meant was that although she and the girl lived in the same "modern times", they were not necessarily in the same space, so her wish would be difficult to achieve.
"She asked me to do it, so I have to give it a try." Lin Qinglan felt the heavy weight of the request from the note.
Because of this wish, Lin Qinglan went out for a while after finishing her school work on Monday morning.
It's just a pity that she returned empty-handed.
According to the neighbors, an elderly person lived at that address. She returned to her hometown some time ago and her son and daughter-in-law are now living in the house.
Lin Qinglan arrived at an unfortunate time because the old man's son, daughter-in-law and their family of three were out traveling.
When Lin Qinglan asked whether the family had a daughter in her twenties, the neighbors' answers were surprisingly consistent.
"They said the family only had a three-year-old son and no daughter."
"Xiao De, I feel very strange."
If a girl from the farming plane wants to go home, she must have someone she cares about.
But now the house is deserted and Lin Qinglan can't find out where the old man's hometown is, so this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.
……
On the other hand, a "basketball friendly match" is also being prepared.
Because the participants are all elderly people, the rules have been changed for safety reasons.
The game actually involves three people shooting on the spot. Each person has ten balls. They stand outside the three-point line and shoot. The team with more points wins.
To be on the safe side, the basketball hoop was replaced with a shorter children's basketball hoop.
Their purpose is to let the uncles and aunts exercise their bodies, not to play professional games, so the fun is greater than winning or losing.
However, uncles and aunts who want to be strong all their lives don’t think so.
In the classroom, Lao Fu, who calls himself the "Evergreen Most Valuable Player", is recruiting his top basketball team.
Instead of getting the response he had hoped for, Lao Fu ran into obstacles everywhere and failed to recruit a single person.
His "best buddy" Uncle Li was the first to reject him.
"I have old cold legs, rheumatism, and bone hyperplasia."
"The nail of my right index finger is three millimeters shorter than my thumb, which makes it easy to get injured, so I can't play."
Uncle Li's voice was powerful.
"I have knee pads, wrist guards, sneakers and gloves, and a helmet. I guarantee you will be safe and sound."
"You are such a poor student and you have so many stationery." Uncle Li's retreat was blocked and he couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"What do you know? This is called sending food and fodder before the troops move out. We are prepared for any eventuality and will definitely come first." Old Fu said proudly.
Uncle Li blurted out: "You wish, first place is mine."
Old Fu rushed to Uncle Li and asked, leaning on his desk, "What do you mean?"
Uncle Li slammed the table and stood up, saying decisively: "Now that things have come to this, I will not beat around the bush with you. I, Li Dangjian, will sever ties with you, Fu Zhicai."
"I want to form my own basketball team, and we will definitely be first."
"You are so good, Old Li. I was wondering why you were pretending to be sick when you are not. You kept making excuses and didn't want to be on the same team with me. It turns out you were planning to take advantage of my first place."
"Let's break it off. Only the strong can join my team. Just wait to be defeated by me."
"It's still unclear who will win or lose, but my team is definitely better than yours."
"I am better than you."
"I'm stronger."
"I am the strongest."
The two old friends were arguing again, with Uncle Liao caught in the middle.
Lao Fu put his arm around Uncle Liao's shoulders and said, "Lao Liao, whose team do you want to join?"
"He will definitely choose me." Old Fu was determined to get Uncle Liao, who was strong and had well-developed athletic ability and was a "hot commodity".
Uncle Liao chose to avoid Old Fu's sight and hesitated.
"Of course Old Liao chose me. Some people should know their own limitations." Uncle Li pulled Uncle Liao over and said provocatively.
Uncle Liao didn't understand what they were arguing about. "It's a three-on-three basketball game. Isn't it just right for the three of us to form a team?"
The two turned back at the same time and rejected it in unison: "No!"
"I don't want to be on the same team with him, I want to be the captain!"
"I won't be on the same team with him either. I want to win the Best Organization Award!"
The two people answered at the same time again.
The captain of the winning team will receive a separate award - the Best Organization Award.
Both Lao Fu and Uncle Li wanted to win the award, so they became enemies and fought for each other.
Uncle Li took the lead and captured Uncle Liao, a great general. Old Fu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and decided to publicly recruit the strongest person.
He stood on the podium and preached passionately:
“Students, sports are also an indispensable part of our lives in old age.”
"In order to respond to the school's call, I, Fu Zhicai, will form the strongest team in the senior university. Everyone is welcome to sign up actively."
"As captain, I have fifty years and six months of basketball experience. Join my team and our goal is to win the championship."
Uncle Li was the quickest to respond, saying, "Fifty years of basketball experience, how old are you now?"
"I'm 67 this year."
"So you haven't played since you were 17?"
"That's not right. I practiced basketball for six months when I was eight years old."
"You've recorded almost 6 years of basketball career in just 60 months. You're really good."
The two people in front of him were about to quarrel again, so Uncle Wang quickly changed the subject, "I heard that there is another mysterious team that will also participate. We can't fight among ourselves, we must unite to face the outside world."
"Is your information true?" Uncle Li and Old Fu stopped arguing and looked at him at the same time.
"First-hand information is honest and trustworthy. I will never lie to old men."
Uncle Wang assured solemnly, "I heard it in the school clinic. Principal Lin was discussing the issue of medical care for the competition with Doctor Fang. I happened to hear them saying that there would be people from outside the school participating."
Uncle Li and Old Fu looked at each other, rushed out of the door at the same time, and ran to the square dance class and Tai Chi class upstairs.
After finishing his math problems, Uncle Fan happily accompanied Aunt Wen to enjoy the scenery. Looking at Uncle Li and the others running up and down, he sighed, "It's true that they are passionate old people, so energetic."
