As the ancients said, "When your parents are alive, don't travel far."
Wang Yi had always made sure his parents knew where he was going, but they were growing older, and having him constantly thousands of miles away from them wasn't ideal.
Wang Yi had actually suggested bringing his parents to Toronto when he went there to play, so the whole family could be together and look after one another.
But for one thing, Wang Jianhua had no friends or acquaintances in Toronto, and he found it terribly dull.
Back home, he could shoot the breeze and trade jokes with his old buddies.
But abroad, all he could do each day was take a walk around the neighborhood.
For another, the National Team had Wang Jianhua coach at major tournaments these past few years, so he couldn't get away.
That was why the family could never all be together.
It seemed they would have to wait until Wang Yi retired and returned to China.
That afternoon, after Wang Yi, Nicole, the two children, and Wang Yi's mother finished their meal, they stayed home.
Wang Yi's mother and Nicole chatted, while Wang Yi played Black Myth: Wukong 3 at home with the two children.
The family was having a wonderful time together.
The only thing missing was Wang Jianhua, who was still at the Basketball Training Camp in Ning Province.
Wang Yi planned to take his mother with him when he went to the training camp in a few days.
That way, the family could reunite there.
While he was in Chang'an Province, Wang Yi also found time to visit his old home in Copper City.
He chatted and shot the breeze with a few childhood friends.
Li Yongfeng, Wang Tao, and Wang Gangfeng had all returned to the village too.
