This is Jiangcheng City Wangjiahe Street, Mulan Township, Huangpo District, which is very far away from Jiangcheng City area. It is remote and rundown. It is also the place where Wang Chao and Wang Mei have lived for eighteen years. (I would like to declare: this is written completely casually, and the place names are all from Baidu, please do not take the wrong place)
Today, the "Wang's Restaurant" that has been open for decades on the street is very lively, because a young couple is getting married here. There is no red tape, and there are no aunts or uncles. There are only a few daily friends invited by the two newlyweds. Two tables were seated. The wine was Baiyunbian, a local specialty, and the cigarettes were Yellow Crane Tower. Everyone ate and chatted, talking warmly and eating cheap home-cooked food. They neither made a fuss nor drank too much. They just waited until the food was finished and the drinks were gone. The wedding was considered over.
The bride is of course Wang Mei. She gave birth when she was 17 years old and is only 35 years old now. In this day and age, it is actually very common for women in their 30s to get married.
The groom is naturally Tony teacher, oh, now he should be called by his real name, Wang Zhongzhu. Because he is the second eldest in the family, his nickname is Er Zhuzi. He is one year younger than Wang Mei and is 34 this year.
Wang Mei has no family members he wants to contact, and Wang Zhongzhu is married for the second time, which is not suitable for big things, so the two discussed it, keeping everything simple, doing things in a low-key manner, and not inviting any relatives. Speaking of which, the two have been flirting with each other for a long time, and their lives have not changed much in the future. They just changed from being secretive to living together in a legitimate way.
But Wang Zhongzhu always felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, he took advantage of Wang Mei's opportunity to go to the toilet and chased after him, secretly asking Wang Mei: "You really didn't tell your son, did you?"
Wang Mei rolled his eyes at him. "What are you afraid of? It's the seed in my belly. Even if he knows about it, can he still turn against me?"
It's just that although she said it forcefully, her voice sounded a little weak in the end. Although Wang Mei has a fierce personality, he still has the mentality of a small citizen. Now Wang Chao's name is in the news of China Television 1 Zhongdu has heard it many times, and she is already a well-established and respected figure. Even though she still tries hard to maintain the majesty of her mother, she has not seen Wang Chao for more than half a year. Now she wants to get angry, but she lacks the confidence.
So she quickly lowered her voice and said comfortingly, "Okay, okay, it's okay. My son is not unreasonable. When he comes back during the New Year, let's just make it clear to him. Don't be afraid. Just stand up. I still hope that he will call you dad."
Wang Zhongzhu could only smile bitterly and tremble with fear. He still had the momentum to scold Fang Qiu when he was doing Tony teacher in the barber shop.
"I don't dare to think about this stuff... Your son is a big shot now. I guess the head of state has met him." Wang Zhongzhu was a little looking forward to it, but also a little afraid. "As long as he doesn't reject me, just call me by my name."
Wang Mei glanced at him and wanted to scold him, but suddenly heard a commotion in front of him. She and Wang Zhongzhu hurried over, took one look, and were stunned.
It turned out that Wang Chao was carrying a big backpack and was standing in front of the table looking at him with a smile. He looked very energetic. Only the sweat stains on his face, the dirt on his neck and the dust on his hair could still tell that he was a bit dusty. He had obviously just gotten off the plane and took a taxi here.
"Mom, what a great thing, why didn't you inform me?" Wang Chao took off his backpack and threw it in the corner. He walked over and hugged Wang Mei hard. He patted Wang Mei's back gently twice, as if to comfort him, then let go, and his eyes fell on Wang Zhongzhu next to Wang Mei.
Wang Zhongzhu was extremely nervous.
A year ago, Wang Chao was just an apprentice in his shop, and he could occasionally teach a few words. But a year later, Wang Chao has become a big shot who often appears on TV. Occasionally, I heard people talk about Wang Chao, and he also appeared in various ways. There are endless praises and exclamations, and Wang Mei always makes all kinds of comments on the street as "World Champion's mother", so although Wang Chao is not on the street, he has already become the most handsome boy on the street.
Seeing this most beautiful boy again today, Wang Zhongzhu has no way of judging whether he is pretty or not. He just feels that the aura of Wang Chao, which is set off by great success and confidence, is completely different from the past. Although Wang Chao is the youngest, standing in the private room of this small Wang's restaurant, he has naturally become the center of everyone's attention.
Tony teacher has read three hundred online articles in his spare time, and knows that this thing is intangible and qualityless, called "aura". If it were put in a fantasy novel, it can be called "field". It is a very impressive thing that only big people have.
He wanted to retreat a little bit, but still mustered up the courage to stand in front of Wang Chao without taking a step back, and stammered, "Wang Chao... I'm not sure... No, I mean me and your mother... Don't worry, I have no other thoughts... If you have children in the future, your surname will be Wang. You don't have to take my surname... Oh, that... instead Since everyone's surname is Wang, your son should continue the family lineage instead of ours. Anyway, my eldest brother has a son, so it's not my turn... Also, what else? Oh, I don't want to take advantage of your family, I just like her. Your mother saves all the money you earn, and I won't touch it... Well, Amei, please remind me..."
"Uncle, if you want to marry my mother, you must agree to two conditions." Wang Chao said with a smile.
Wang Zhongzhu quickly shut up. His hands were obviously clean, but he subconsciously wiped them hard on the red clothes he wore today. He swallowed and said, "You tell me."
He was still looking forward to it, because Wang Chao called him "Uncle" when he opened his mouth, which showed that he still recognized himself. Today's accident may not be a bad thing.
"First, don't open a milk tea shop after you get married. That will ruin every shop." Wang Chao raised a finger.
Wang Zhongzhu is a little confused.
"Second, you are not allowed to join a celebrity chain hot pot restaurant after getting married. That thing is just for cutting leeks." Wang Chao raised his second finger and asked with a smile, "Can you do it?"
Wang Zhongzhu blinked, feeling dumbfounded.
He didn't know what it meant.
Wang Mei, however, had already reacted. His mother's dignity returned to him, he glared at Wang Chao hard, and then stabbed Wang Zhongzhu hard on the waist. "My son is joking with you, but you are talking."
Wang Zhongzhu woke up from a dream and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, I can, I can definitely do it."
"Then I'm relieved." Wang Chao stood in front of him, his smile dropped, and his attitude became serious. "Then, I will ask you to take care of my mother from now on... She has a bad temper, is stingy, talks a lot, and is very strong. Even though she is a womanizer, you may not be able to beat her. She also likes to talk, take advantage, and show off..."
Wang Mei The more he listened, the more wrong he became. His face turned a little dark. The guests at the two tables also covered their mouths, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
Wang Chao rambled on for a long time, and finally stopped, bowed formally to Wang Zhongzhu, and said sincerely, "In short, no matter how many shortcomings she has, since you want to live with her, I can only ask you to be more patient in the future..."
Having said that, there is actually still a final finishing touch to be made.
Wang Chao paused, looked up at Wang Zhongzhu, and shouted seriously, "Dad."
Wang Zhongzhu was stunned, his whole figure was like a piece of wood, and he didn't react at all. On the contrary, Wang Mei beside him burst into tears at this moment.
Everyone in the box also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. I don't know who took the lead, but everyone applauded.
At this moment, everyone was sure that Wang Chao was really here to congratulate, not to cause trouble.
"My son, Wang Chao." Wang Mei pulled him over with force. At this moment, she resumed her identity as the aggressive proprietress of the canteen. Her whole person became alive. She spoke in a loud voice, with a broken voice, and cried, "World Champion!"
"Well, now there is only the Open Championship and one World Cup champion, but there will be World Table Tennis Championships and Olympic Games champions in the future."
Wang Chao understands Wang Mei so well. My mother has lived in this street all her life. She has suffered a lot and suffered a lot of ridicule. What she wants in her heart is for a loser to counterattack and pretend to be a slap in the face. Ever since she got her grades, my mother has been bragging about it everywhere on this street, which made some people feel disgusted. It is precisely because she wants to vent the negative emotions accumulated in the past.
Therefore, when I return to my hometown in glory today, I must hold on to this situation to the end. As for whether my nature is low-key and humble or domineering, it doesn't matter at all.
Today is my mother's first marriage in her life, but she did it in such a low-key and shabby way. This is because after all, Wang Mei gave birth to a child out of wedlock, Wang Zhongzhu was also married for the second time, and both of them are at the bottom of society, so naturally it can only be like this.
But my mother is a woman after all, and she has never been married.
Which woman deep down in her heart doesn't look forward to a glorious wedding?
If mom can't do it herself, then help her yourself.
"Fortunately... I finally still have some energy."
A smile appeared at the corner of Wang Chao's mouth, and he said in Wang Mei's ear, "Mom, the show is about to begin, you should like it."
Wang Mei said "Ah", wiped the tears just now with his sleeve, smiled and cursed, "Bad boy, what did you do again?"
Wang Chao Without saying anything, there was a sudden noise outside, and then someone shouted at the door, "Wow, the big shot is here!"
The big shot is indeed coming.
Large cars and small cars entered this narrow street, filling the entrance of Wang's Restaurant. Then many people got out of the cars, some of them were Jiangcheng City Team's coaches, some were Hubei Provincial Team's coaches, as well as reporters and photographers from the TV station. The TV station staff quickly got into the mood. In the blink of an eye, this place seemed to have turned into an interview scene, and the whole style was different.
The one holding the microphone at the front was Wang Chao's old acquaintance, Jiangcheng City TV Sports Channel's reporter Luo Xiaoyu. She winked from a distance at Wang Chao who had just come out to watch the fun, and began to report on the spot seriously.
"Hello, audience friends, this is an ordinary street in the suburbs of Jiangcheng City. Why are we here? It's because there is a wedding taking place here. The bride's name is Wang Mei. She also has another identity. She is the mother of the well-known table tennis star World Champion Wang Chao. Today, I We are fortunate to be invited by World Champion Wang Chao to give a brief on-site report. Now, let us see what kind of great mother Wang Chao is, and what is the origin of this wedding? Who is the mysterious groom? Let me reveal it all.
Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu were crowded to the front by everyone. Their faces were as red as monkey butts. Although they were nervous, they really felt honored.
Luo Xiaoyu walked to Wang Mei and faced the camera. "Everyone, what you see now is the winner of the first T2 Invitational World Champion, a total of 5 open Men's Singles World Champion winners so far this year, a two-time mixed doubles World Champion winner, and a global winner. The only owner of Unrivaled talent, the record holder of the only two-line clean sheet in history, the youngest player in history to win the World Cup championship, a local talent trained by Northern Hubei Province Jiangcheng City ourselves, the mother of table tennis player Wang Chao... Wang Mei."
He was about to die when he said this, but Luo Xiaoyu said it with passion and radiance, as if he had earned these honors by himself.
The onlookers also responded with good-natured laughter.
Then Luo Xiaoyu began to interview Wang Mei. The interviewer stuttered and made many mistakes throughout the process. The onlookers burst into laughter and looked like a complete mess.
But it doesn't matter, because there is something called "post-editing", which will ensure that the output will be beautiful.
Problems such as stammering, unclear enunciation, and incoherence are not important at all. You can use copywriting to modify it, saying that "poor words make you appear honest", "lack of words makes you appear honest", "speak in plain English", "down to earth", etc.
In short, the limelight is definitely coming.
But it's not over yet.
When the interview ended, Luo Zhihong, the head coach of Jiangcheng City Team, came up first, grabbed Wang Mei's hand and shook it violently, thanking Wang Mei for cultivating Wang Chao, which is the best seedling of Jiangcheng City Team in ten years.
Then Hubei Provincial Team's head coach Jiang Tiansheng came up, grabbed Wang Mei's hand and continued to shake it, thanking Wang Mei for cultivating one of the best young talents in Hubei Provincial Team in the past ten years.
Notice the difference? Jiang Tiansheng adds "one" because Luo Jiu was released seven years ago. It is difficult to say who is better between the two until World Table Tennis Championships is finished.
Next came various group photos, and these "precious" image materials will be posted online. At the end, everyone went to Wang Mei's canteen that was just opened at the beginning of the year. This is an extra benefit and free advertising. As for whether this place will become a check-in place for Internet celebrities in the future and become a mess, it is unknown.
Did you think it was over?
Not yet.
Wang Chao's face is really great now. Maybe it's just that outside the table tennis world, but within the table tennis world, everyone is really willing to give some face.
So when the Jiangcheng City sports channel broadcast the news that night, the news "World Champion's mother got married" was broadcast for five minutes.
It's not that the announcer speaks slowly, it's that there's so much to follow that I have to read.
For example, He Jingping, the current No. 1 coach of Huaping, sent a congratulatory message through the air. Do you dare not read it?
For example, Qin Huachang, the former No. 1 coach of China Table Tennis Team, sent a congratulatory message through the air. Do you dare not read it?
For example, Cai Guodong, the chief rudder of China Table Tennis, publicly praised Wang Mei for his great contribution to China Table Tennis. Do you dare not read it?
For another example, the Beautiful Country professional player Lilith, who had nothing to do with her, sent her a congratulatory message over the air. Although she is not of great importance, she is an international friend. Do you dare not read it?
In short, after the day's hard work, the young couple felt physically exhausted but extremely excited mentally, so Wang Mei simply chatted with Wang Chao, talking about their honeymoon.
"You can go wherever you want, Mom, I've made a lot of money this year, enough for you to play outside for a year." Wang Chao smiled.
When he first came to this world, he was eager to make money and took the initiative to sign a betting contract with Fan Xiaofan. However, after entering Chinese National Table Tennis Team, he never paid attention to how much money he had because there were so many various bonuses that they turned into meaningless numbers in the end.
Not to mention that Zhu Zeshi directly gave him an apartment in the Imperial City. If enough of this was sold, Jiangcheng City would be able to eat it all his life.
In Chinese Table Tennis base, you really don't need a penny. Everything is handled by the state. This is the benefit of the nationwide system.
"Just use the money that Boss Fan sent you last year. Your son no longer values that little money."
Wang Mei has an open-minded character, she said, "Really?"
Wang Chao said, "Really."
Wang Mei said, "Let me see how much money you have now."
Wang Chao Log in to mobile banking immediately.
Then Wang Mei felt relieved. "I have raised you for more than ten years, and now it is reasonable to spend some money on you... I didn't plan to go out originally, but since you are so determined, then Er Zhuzi, let's go out to play?"
In front of Wang Chao, Boss Tony still couldn't let go. He smiled honestly and nodded, "Yeah!"
Wang Chao only stayed at home for one night, and went directly to Spade Q training base the next day.
On the one hand, he didn't want to disturb his mother's honeymoon, but on the other hand, he did have some things to do.
After half a year, he met Wu Li again.
(12k+, the attitude is commendable, please give me a vote, thank you.)
