Volleyball Youth

Chapter 46 Lan Lan's Difficulties

As the notification sounded that the gym was closed, everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.

At this time Lan Lan's phone rang, it was an ordinary mobile phone that couldn't be more ordinary.When Lan Lan saw the phone number above, she frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally answered it.

After picking up the phone, Lan Lan kept listening to what the other party said. Judging from Lan Lan's heavy expression, the other party's attitude was obviously not very good, but for some reason, Lan Lan kept enduring it. After waiting for a while, Lan Lan said: "It's very late today, why don't you go back?"

After Lan Lan finished speaking, she could only hear indiscriminate insults from the other end of the phone, but she couldn't hear the specifics clearly, so she finally hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lan Lan sighed helplessly, finally looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." After speaking, she left.

Everyone present didn't care about this, only Zhang Meiting showed a worried expression. Obviously, she knew some reasons, but she couldn't stop it, after all, it was her own business.

Seeing Zhang Meiting's worry, Sun Jiafei walked over and asked, "Senior, is there any difficulty for Senior Lan Lan?"

Seeing Sun Jiafei approaching, Zhang Meiting hesitated, sighed, and finally decided to tell the reason.

"Jiajia, it's already very difficult for Lan Lan to join the volleyball team." Zhang Meiting couldn't help recalling the past.

"I just joined the volleyball team when I was a freshman. At that time, the volleyball team had already gone downhill. However, at that time, there were seniors who were in the third and fourth years to support them. Their strength was much stronger than ours, just because of volleyball. The team was in decline and there was no training, so they were all busy with their own affairs. When they graduated, the team didn't play well, and they were crushed miserably by the economic and trade women's volleyball team. At that time, I was the only one who supported me. Because there was a senior who gave me the captain when she graduated, hoping that one day I could make a comeback for the volleyball team. However, I have worked hard for so many years, but I can only maintain the status quo without any improvement. I am sorry for that person. The trust of the seniors. Many girls who played well went to other teams because the volleyball team couldn’t develop, and eventually there were fewer and fewer girls.”

Zhang Meiting talked about the team's past, and everyone gathered together. Listening to her story, for the current team, only Zhang Meiting and Lan Lan are senior students, and they are the only people who know about this past. Well, some juniors only know a little bit, so everyone is interested.

"Lan Lan also joined the volleyball team as a freshman. At that time, her strength was not outstanding, and her training time was not stable. She could only come once in a while, but she still worked hard and never gave up. Slowly, everyone They all left, and only Lan Lan stayed with me to help me recruit people and develop the volleyball team."

When Sun Jiafei heard this, she suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, senior sister, I remember that senior sister Xinyan introduced me when I first joined the volleyball team. Didn't she always help? Also, why did she Why don't you come to training?"

When Sun Jiafei asked about Wu Xinyan, Zhang Meiting showed embarrassment.

"Speaking of Xinyan, I'm really helpless! Originally, I was the chairman of the club before, but the school has regulations that the chairman of the club cannot be a senior student, so I can only hand it over this year. Xinyan is a senior student this year. Three, and she joined the volleyball club when she was just a freshman, but she joined the volleyball club not for playing, but for other reasons."

other reasons?Aren't clubs self-selected?Why join the volleyball club if you don't like playing?
"Actually, Xinyan fell in love with a boy in the volleyball team." Zhang Meiting said awkwardly.

No wonder, now everyone understands that this kind of situation is actually not uncommon in universities. In order to be able to be with the people you like, so what if you join a club.

"The most embarrassing thing is that in less than a year, the men's volleyball team disbanded because no one was there. The boy went to other clubs. Xinyan stayed in the volleyball club because she was too lazy to change. Since Xinyan and I have a good relationship, In the end, she was entrusted to help become the chairman of the volleyball association and help recruit new students."

It's really dramatic, it seems that Wu Xinyan's life is really hard!

"Let's talk about Lan Lan, her life is really hard!" Zhang Meiting became sad when she mentioned Lan Lan.

"Actually, I didn't expect Lan Lan to participate in training this time, because she seldom participated in training before."

"Sister, is there any special reason?" Sun Jiafei noticed something and asked cautiously.

"That's right, Lan Lan didn't come to the training not because she didn't want to come, but because she couldn't come!"

Can't come?What's the situation, isn't college easy?And it's all up to you, so why can't you come?

"Because of the difficult family conditions, Lan Lan usually has to work and study part-time. The tuition is earned by herself, so she usually works part-time besides attending classes. It's just that she likes volleyball very much, so she comes whenever she has time. Playing, and working hard, because time is really precious to her."

Hearing this, everyone showed sympathetic eyes. University is the most beautiful place. There is no restraint, and you can make your own decisions, and the family will send money to provide living expenses. You can eat what you like, and you can play what you want. It is heaven. Of course, these are for them. For Lan Lan, it is already very difficult to go to school well.

"Then, senior sister, senior sister Lan Lan is in such a hurry to leave today, is she also going to work?"

"No, speaking of today, hey." As soon as she said this, Zhang Meiting couldn't help feeling a little worried. She calmed down and said slowly: "Lan Lan not only has to work part-time to earn tuition, but also takes care of her family."

Take care of the family?Are there any sick people at home?
"Lan Lan's parents divorced since she was a child, because her father liked to drink a lot, and always beat her mother and her when he drank too much. In the end, her mother couldn't stand it anymore and left the house, and her father left the house because of her mother's leaving , completely abandoning himself, drinking every day, either beating, scolding or yelling at Lan Lan."

Zhang Meiting spoke to herself, and everyone listened in their hearts, and couldn't help showing a trace of anger.It's really bad for a man to hit a woman.

"Actually, Lan Lan's family situation is pretty good. There is a supermarket at home. There is no problem with self-sufficiency. However, her mother used to run it, and her father didn't care. She has no choice but to take care of the supermarket by herself. She often gets drunk in the supermarket, which scares the frequent customers. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer people. It got worse, her father squandered all the tuition her mother left for Lan Lan, so Lan Lan went out to work. Her father didn't care about the supermarket, and asked Lan Lan to take care of it, so that he could go drinking. "

"Isn't this too much? If Lao Yang dares to do this, I'll just punch him and break off the relationship!" Yang Xueqing said angrily after hearing this, obviously she was too popular with her.

"That's what you say, but they are her dependent relatives. If she doesn't care, her father will really be left alone. Even you can't do it." Sun Jiafei said.There is no way for relatives to let go, especially parents, how can they sever the relationship so easily.

After hearing Sun Jiafei's words, Zhang Meiting nodded and continued: "Yes, there is no way to ignore it. So Lan Lan needs to go home often to take care of the supermarket, and today, after class at night, she should go back, but Lan Lan Because I wanted to participate in training too much, I didn’t go.”

"Then the call just now was from her father?"

"Yeah, it should be that her father drank too much. After waking up, he saw that the supermarket was closed. Usually Lan Lan is in charge of the supermarket at this time. If she disagrees, her father will beat her. Today I saw Lan Lan Lan was actually disobedient, that's why she called her so late and told her to go back and open the door, she would definitely be scolded, and maybe beaten, hey." Speaking of this, Zhang Meiting became even more worried.

"How can there be such a person!"

"Yeah, it's too nasty!"

"Yes, I really can't stand such a selfish person. If it were me, I would run away from home!"

"I really want to beat him up and help senior sister Lan Lan vent her anger!"

……

After Zhang Meiting finished speaking, everyone immediately aroused public indignation. Such a person is not qualified to be a father, and I wish I could chop him up now!
"Hey, Lan Lan really has a hard life. In such a family, she has such a kind heart. She refuses to give up on her father. She works hard to earn money and take care of the business. I hope her father can quit drinking." Zhang Meiting said helplessly.

"Her thinking is too naive. It is impossible for a person who is addicted to alcohol to quit. What I said made me a little angry. What should I do? Why don't I go and beat her father secretly?" Yang Xueqing said viciously, It was obvious that she really wanted to beat someone up.

After Yang Xueqing finished speaking, the atmosphere was a little off. Although everyone was full of righteous indignation, but if they really wanted to beat him up, how could they do it? Besides, they were the father of a teammate, so it was too cruel.

"Xueqing, don't be impulsive, don't try to solve the problem by violence." Sun Jiafei frowned and said, the main reason is that she is not afraid of Yang Xueqing going to beat him up, but even if he goes, can he beat him up, and he will suffer in the end Aren't you still yourself, and embarrassing Lan Lan.

"Then what do you think? You can't just ignore it, right? Let me tell you, there is another way. Her father is only short of money for drinking. If you give him the money, it's over. The money earned in the supermarket is enough for Lan Lan herself." flowers." Yang Xueqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with this solution.

"Lan Lan is a student after all, she can't earn much money by working part-time, and she has to pay tuition fees. The efficiency of the supermarket itself is not good, and her father basically took it away. Where is the extra money!" Zhang Meiting analyzed.

"It's okay. If it doesn't work, I'll help her share some of the burden. How much money can that kind of drunkard ask for." Yang Xueqing said domineeringly.

After Yang Xueqing finished speaking, Zhang Meiting was stunned for a moment. She clearly remembered that when Yang Xueqing first came to the volleyball team, she had conflicts with Lan Lan. He took another high look at Yang Xueqing.

If Yang Xueqing knew what Zhang Meiting was thinking, she would definitely be stunned.Yang Xueqing is a carefree person, she has long forgotten about this matter, and she herself is jealous, and when she sees something that makes her unhappy, she wants to take care of it.

Although Yang Xueqing said she wanted to help, she was stopped by Zhang Meiting.

"I can't do this. Lan Lan has a strong self-esteem. I tried to help her a few times, but she refused. Just like today, Lan Lan would not come to the gym. After all, it would cost money, but she still gritted her teeth and came. I originally wanted to help her get the money, but she still refused, hey."

"It's really a matter of saving face and suffering!" Yang Xueqing said casually, she is that kind of straightforward, and she doesn't know how to beat around the bush.

"I think senior sister Lan Lan has her own difficulties. If we want to help her, we should not help her with money, but help her where she needs help most. Only in this way can we really help her out of the predicament. Senior Lan Lan My sister is in her senior year, and she hasn't enjoyed college life well, it's really pitiful." Sun Jiafei thought for a while and said.

"What needs help the most? Jiajia, what can you do?" Hearing Sun Jiafei's words, Zhang Meiting said with a little expectation. She and Lan Lan have such a good relationship. If possible, she really wants to help Lan Lan.

"Senior Lan Lan is not short of money, but lacks the warmth of a family. If we can help her father stop drinking, I believe Senior Lan Lan will be very happy."

After listening to Sun Jiafei's analysis, Zhang Meiting became happy, but she was a little embarrassed. Her father was famous for drinking, and it seemed impossible to ask her father not to drink.

"Jiajia, there seems to be some difficulties! And how can we help?" Zhang Meiting said in embarrassment.

"It's really difficult, but it's not impossible. Try it!" Sun Jiafei smiled and said, as if she already had her own ideas.

After seeing Sun Jiafei's smile, Zhang Meiting felt less doubts in her heart. After all, the girl in front of her has brought her too many miracles. Maybe this time, she will create miracles!
