The years of red flags

San'er slapped his head: "Oh, it's true. When I was on the street a long time ago, a computer cost tens of thousands. In those computer rooms, you can get thirty or forty yuan for an hour of playing. It's a lot. It was out of reach. Later, when I made up my mind to open an Internet cafe, I already had thousands of computers left. Now I pat my head and dare to think about buying hundreds more computers. Things are getting cheaper and cheaper. It’s getting higher and higher.”

“It’s just that some things are getting cheaper, and some things are getting more expensive.”

San'er shook his head: "I used to think it was awesome when people drove Santana. After half a year, I think I can even get a Bluebird or something with just my teeth."

"So, computers will become cheaper and cheaper. By then, ordinary people will have computers in their homes. How many people will still go to Internet cafes?"

San'er suddenly realized: "My mother once said, let me get closer to you more. Uncle, what you said is true. You just said that I should get some money to buy a front house and collect rent. I just listen to you. I'll look back. I bought my Internet cafe house, and I will buy a front-end house when I have more money.”

"Don't buy blindly, you have to choose the market."

San'er said happily: "Don't worry, I can be considered a businessman now. How can I not know where to choose the market?"

"Now that you understand everything, get out of here. I won't let you eat."

San'er quickly moved the big and small bags into Jiang Hua's yard and placed them on the stone table under the pomegranate tree. He turned back and bowed to Jiang Hua: "Then I'll go first. See you later, uncle."

After San'er left, Jiang Qiuyun asked in confusion: "Dad, San'er is just a street gangster. Don't you think it's a shame to ignore him?"

"Why do you have this idea? First of all, we are also a human being. We are all equal. They are just not as rich as you, and they have nothing to do with anything. Morally, everyone is on the same starting line. If you look down on others, you are looking down on yourself. ”

"Some parents in our school look down on people from poor family backgrounds just because they are rich, and their children are also affected. They also have this problem."

Jiang Hua nodded with satisfaction: "From your tone, I know you despise this kind of problem."

"I look down on him, but I think dad has always been aloof. I didn't expect you to be able to get along with San'er."

Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Go forward thirty years, Dad, and your Uncle Zheng, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle, they were all little gangsters hanging out on the streets. As the saying goes, don't bully young people into poverty. Maybe he will be successful in the future and make a lot of friends. As long as the person you are dating does not break the law or has bad morals, it will be an experience for you, and he will definitely help you one day in the future. The most important thing is , You can’t look at people through colored glasses.”

Jiang Hua said solemnly: "Have you ever suffered anything since you were a child? When you were born, your family was already very rich and your life has always been very superior, so you naturally have a sense of superiority, but never let this superiority Feeling ruined you.”

"Dad, I understand. Sometimes I wonder, our family is so rich, but we still live in a hutong. Do you live here on purpose, just to keep me grounded since childhood?" Jiang Qiuyun looked serious. He said with understanding: "Some of my classmates also have rich families. They lived in villas since they were young. They always talk about how much upper class society they have been in contact with since they were young. Their nostrils are almost pointing to the sky."

"You can finally understand the painstaking efforts of being a father."

At this time, you have to pretend. When you first started living in the courtyard, it was purely because Jiang Hua felt that living in the courtyard was quite comfortable. As for making Jiang Qiuyun and Jiang Qiubai more grounded, that was unexpected, but it was indeed very effective.

At the end of October, Jiang Hua flew to Houston again at Xia Song's invitation, because the 30th was Yao Min's first official appearance in the NBA. It was not a preseason game, not a summer league, but an NBA game. It was very special. It was attractive, so Xia Song invited Jiang Hua to watch it live with him. Yao Ming rarely asked the management for two sideline tickets. In the Rockets' opening game of the new season, the Rockets challenged the Indiana Pacers away from home. Jiang Hua and Xia Song were sitting behind the players' seats.

Jiang Hua smiled and asked, "Xiao Yao, are you nervous?"

Yao Min shook his head: "I'm not nervous. I've played more than a dozen preseason games and summer league games. Although their players are not as strong as the regular players, I'm already prepared for what kind of rhythm it will be. I don't dare to say anything." And Hong, I can definitely score a few more points and grab a few more rebounds today.”

Francis, who was preparing for an event on the sidelines, saw Yao Min chatting with two flower growers, so he came over and said, "Yao, is this your friend?"

Without waiting for Yao Min to answer, Francis asked Jiang Hua again: "Are you flower growers? Are you Yao's friends?"

Jiang Hua smiled and nodded, and Xia Song's team member Francis stretched out his hand: "I am Yao Min's Chinese manager."

"Nice to meet you." Francis shook hands with Xia Song and Jiang Hua: "Do you know? Yao is incredible. He is Optimus Prime under the basketball hoop. His efficiency makes me jealous."

"Francis, today is your little brother's first appearance." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "You have to pass a few more good balls to your little brother and try to let him knock down the opponent's basketball stand."

Francis smiled and bumped fists with Jiang Hua again, and said with a smile: "I hope so too, but unfortunately he does not have the weight of Shaq, but I believe Yao's fiery touch will set the Indiana Nets on fire."

The head coach brought all the players together to lay out tactics, with Yao Min standing next to Francis.

Today the opponent is the Indiana Pacers. They have Reggie Miller, O'Neal, and Ben Wallace, and none of them are bad guys.

At the beginning of the game, Yao Min pressed O'Neal and succeeded in jumping the ball. Although O'Neal's bounce was higher than that of Yao Min, he was a little frightened when faced with Yao Min's height, so he easily let Yao Min pass the ball to him. Francis.

Francis dribbled down quickly, passed three inside the three-point line, and then jumped high into the air for a dunk.

Xia Song said dissatisfied: "It's too showy. The ball should have landed on the spot. Play steadily and pass the ball to Yao Min. He has the highest height and the greatest confidence in the paint area."

"At this stage, the boss of the Rockets is Francis. So this first point is his responsibility, his obligation, and his privilege." Jiang Hua shook his head: "You have to calm down. At this moment, Yao Mingmin is just a rookie in the NBA.”

After the change of sides, O'Neal's layup was directly blocked by Yao Min, which immediately aroused cheers from the audience. Although there were only a few Rockets fans here, it was overwhelming.
