Everything can be negotiated
It was several days ago that Jian Jianan discovered that something was wrong with her brother. In the past few days, Jian Jiabei was like a lit firecracker, quarreling with everyone he met.
For example, today, he had another argument with his father.
"Xiaobei! Dad asked you to go to the factory to take a look for your own good!"
Jian Yangping said earnestly outside, "You'll be a senior next month, but look at you now, confused and lost, like you can't find your future goals. What are you going to do with me in the future?"
Jian Jiabei immediately became unhappy after hearing what his father said.
"Dad!!! What do you mean by aimless and muddleheaded? I've been running outside every day these past few days, and you still say I'm aimless and muddleheaded!"
Jian Jiabei was very unconvinced. He knew that he would be in his third year of high school after this summer vacation, but it wasn't over yet, so why couldn't he have some fun for a while longer!
Jian Yangping was furious when he heard his son's rebuttal. "You have a goal? You run outside every day, so you have a goal?"
"Do you know what your biggest goal should be right now? As a student, shouldn't your biggest goal right now be thinking about the college entrance examination a year from now? Let me ask you, have you thought about the college entrance examination a year from now? Have you thought about where you can go to? Have you thought about which university to apply to? Have you thought about what major to choose?"
The older you get, the wiser you become. Jian Jiabei wanted to make a final struggle, but was defeated by his father's long questions.
Jian Jiabei felt a little guilty. He scratched his head and, though he was extremely reluctant to admit it, he could only mumble, "Which university should I go to and what major should I study in the college entrance examination? Of course I've thought about that, but I just haven't thought that far ahead!"
"Yeah?"
Even though Jian Jianan was in the room, he could hear Jian Yangping's cold snort, followed by a long and merciless scolding. Jian Jianan sighed deeply, "Brother, brother, why do you say these things to coax dad? Dad is already in his forties. He can tell from your words whether you are just perfunctory to him or you really do it. Is this necessary?"
"Jian Jiabei! I'm telling you, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to take responsibility. If you continue to act like this, I'll make sure you don't get hurt!"
Jian Jiabei has always been a soft-hearted person. When he heard what his father said, he immediately stood up and yelled even louder than Jian Yangping, "Alright, alright, then I'll see how you're going to make me pay for it! What's this about taking responsibility? Tell me, when have I ever failed to take responsibility? And why do you want me to go to the factory? Do you need me there? Are you going to make me stand there and stare at the busy employees?"
Jian Yangping roared, "You, you are simply unreasonable! Who told you to stare at others? Can't you just be more considerate and offer to help?"
Jian Jiabei sneered, "I'm going to help? When haven't I gone to help? But do they trust me to help? Don't you know that they don't know? Every time I tried to help, I was kicked out because I was clumsy. If this goes on for a few times, do I still dare to help?"
Jian Yangping: "You..."
Jian Jiabei: "I..."
The quarrel between the father and the son continued. It was simply that the husband claimed to be right and the wife claimed to be right, and neither of them could come up with an absolute reason to convince the other.
Jian Jianan sighed deeply, pulled the quilt aside and wanted to continue sleeping with his eyes closed.
It is just the beginning of summer vacation, but Jian Yangping and Jian Jiabei have been arguing for several days. This kind of quarrel has happened between them several times. Jian Jianan also went from being panicked at the beginning and immediately came out to mediate, and gradually developed to the current calm and natural situation of turning a blind eye to everything.
I don’t know what’s wrong with my brother. During the holidays, his mouth has been as poisonous as if he had eaten pesticide, and he even sprays out poisonous juice.
Sometimes, when Mom and Dad were just talking about something very ordinary, Jian Jiabei would feel that they were targeting him and would react strongly and refute them, just like today.
The quarrel between the father and son continued, and it seemed to be getting more intense. In fact, their conflict was just a small matter, and the father and son were connected by heart and blood relationship. Jian Jianan didn't know why they could quarrel like this over such a small matter!
They quarreled louder and louder, so loud that Jian Jianan couldn't stop the sound of their fierce quarrel from entering his ears even though he pulled the quilt to cover his ears.
"Jian Jiabei!"
Was Dad so angry that he didn't even call her brother by his nickname? He just called him Jian Jiabei, which showed that he was really angry. Every time Jian Jianan heard her parents calling her by her full name, she would shudder, because it meant that they were about to talk about something very serious, and she couldn't help but take it seriously.
As expected, Dad's next words were, "Jian Jiabei! I'm so disappointed in you, so disappointed! Well, look at you now, all muscle and no brains, what do you look like? My partners don't know your inner qualities, and they might even say, "A tiger father will have a dog son" out of respect. But looking at you now, how can you look like a tiger? You look like a dog!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Jianan jumped out of bed and said, "Dad, you can't say such hurtful words! How can you call my brother a dog?"
Jian Jiabei laughed out of anger. From the sound, he seemed to pull over the dog Hua Maw who was watching the fight unawares nearby. After a few weak whimpers, Jian Jiabei argued back, "What's wrong with being a dog? I'm happy to be like a dog! Look at our Hua Maw, he can guard the house and scold people, he's smart and alert and so capable. How dare you say anything bad about Hua Maw?"
Jian Yangping was simply stunned by his son's behavior. Although their family's fish maw was indeed very good and he could not find any fault with it, but listen to what his son said here. Moreover, the focus of the argument between the father and son was not on the fish maw. Now they were talking about Jian Jiabei's refusal to go out to the factory to help!
Jian Yangping was so overwhelmed that he didn't want to argue with his son anymore. His face was full of disappointment. "Xiaobei, Daddy has watched you grow up day by day, from a wrinkled baby at birth to the 1.80-meter-tall man you are today. I don't know how proud I am in my heart. Mom and Daddy know that when you were little, we were too busy and our family was poor, and the adults were busy making money, so we didn't have much time to take care of you. Even when Nannan was just born, we didn't have much energy to take care of her. It was you who, without us even seeing you, shouldered the responsibility and pride of being an older brother and raised your sister to be as good as she is now."
Jian Jianan got up quietly, walked to the door of the room carefully and tried not to make any noise, put her head close to it, and listened to her father using a conciliatory policy towards Jian Jiabei and talking about the glorious past.
"I still remember when we were in Hainan. Your mom and I were often in a panic, not knowing what to do. It was you, the little man, who stepped forward, lectured Mom and Dad, and then gave them orders. Our family worked together to get everything done. Also, when we first came to Shenzhen, you also made great efforts and helped a lot. When we were selling things at the train station, one time the cart wouldn't move because the wheels were broken. Your mom was so anxious that her eyes were blazing, but you just squatted down, carried the stall on your back, and ran over..."
Jian Yangping really watched his son's every move. When he talked about it like this, Jian Jiabei couldn't help but be moved by what happened before. Both father and son were tough guys, but they were also gentle. Now, not only were their eyes moist, but they were obviously touched in a sad place.
Jian Jianan, who was eavesdropping behind the door, felt relieved. It seemed that he didn't need to worry about today's quarrel anymore. His father and brother would be able to handle it well!
But later, facts told Jian Jianan that it was better not to be too confident and not to give up too quickly. She didn't understand why, after just a few seconds, the two people outside the door had reached an irreconcilable point where they were at each other's throats.
"Later, you and Nannan grew up and became your current selves, which your mother and I would never have recognized. Nannan devoted herself to our Nanbei Hotel, answering questions for Mom and Dad. Especially a few years ago, before Shenya was founded, Nannan went to the Nanbei Hotel every day to attend meetings. I don't know how many problems she solved for your mother. And, Nannan...
Jian Yangping was originally reminiscing about the past, and for some reason he mentioned Jian Jianan's name. Perhaps he wanted to stimulate his son to work hard by mentioning his daughter's name. However, Jian Jianan, who was eavesdropping behind the door of the room, immediately felt that something was wrong. Oh no, his brother might explode again!
Jian Jianan was right. Jian Jiabei, who had been comforted by his father's gentle words of reminiscing about the past, was immediately furious after hearing what he said. He was even angrier than before. "Nannan Nannan! Why are you talking about Nannan all the time? Then go find her! Hasn't she been through all the big and small matters of Shenya Clothing? She must be very familiar with it. So why don't you go find her and let her help you deal with it? Why do you have to come to me? Aren't you asking for a scolding? You talk about Jian Jianan every day. My ears are about to get calluses from listening to it. Don't you and mom feel the same? Why do you compare me with her every day? I've said hundreds of times that I don't like those things about the family business. I don't want to..."
Jian Jiabei didn't understand why his parents still wanted to drag him out to gain experience even though he had told them thousands of times. Jian Yangping didn't understand even more. The business he and his wife owned was something that many people outside were jealous of, but why didn't his son like it? Not only did he dislike it, he wasn't even interested in it at all. Every time he and Su Qinxuan wanted to hand something over to his son, he would throw it away in a hurry as if he had received a hot potato.
"You asked me why I always mention Nannan's name! She's so smart and capable, mom and I have our own plans for her! We want to talk about you now, so don't keep changing the subject!"
Jian Jiabei then started to argue excitedly, but because he was too excited, his words became slurred and Jian Jianan could not hear clearly what his brother said.
Jian Jianan secretly thought that something terrible was going to happen, and he didn't even bother to eavesdrop. He immediately opened the door and went out, loudly admonishing, "Stop arguing, stop arguing! We are all family, why can't we just sit down and talk it out!"
But unexpectedly, she came out too late, leaving Jian Yangping with just enough time to say the last words.
"If only you were like your sister, your mother and I would feel relieved..."
Jian Yangping's face was full of disappointment as he said these extremely hurtful words.
"Dad! Dad, what are you talking about!" Jian Jianan looked at Jian Yangping in disbelief. She looked at her father and then at her brother, only to see her brother sitting on the sofa with his face covered, making it difficult to see his expression. It was obvious that he was deeply hurt by Jian Yangping's last words, otherwise why would he not react to even the most serious words? He had completely lost the look of someone who was arguing and jumping up and down in anger just now.
After Jian Yangping said this, he actually felt a little regretful, but spilled water cannot be collected and broken mirrors cannot be mended. Words spoken are like spilled water, which can never be taken back. No matter how much Jian Yangping regretted it, he could not travel back to the previous second and strangle himself to death for saying such hurtful words to his son.
"Nannan, you, you, you came out? Did we talk too loudly and wake you up?" So, Jian Yangping knew that what he had just said was very inappropriate, but he had no experience in apologizing. He didn't know how to express his apology to his son, so he had to look at his daughter who had just come out of the room and carefully change the subject.
Jian Jianan looked at his father helplessly. "If you want to say sorry, go tell your brother. Why are you using me as a topic? Do you think that using me as a raft will make your brother understand your apology?"
But Jian Jianan knew that his father's illness had been going on for a while, and now was not the time to add fuel to the fire, so Jian Jianan had no choice but to sit next to his brother.
The most urgent task is to comfort Jian Jiabei and prevent his brother from being really upset by his father's words.
"Brother, don't listen to what Dad said. He said that because he was angry." Jian Jianan comforted his brother with soft words that he would never say normally. Normally, he would blush when he heard such a soft tone.
"Hmph," Jian Jiabei snorted coldly, showing no sign of being comforted by his sister. "Are you so angry that you're confused? I don't think so. This is clearly what Dad really thinks. People are most likely to speak their minds when they are emotionally excited! I think he's been wanting to say this for a long time, and today he finally got the chance to scold me!"
Seeing his sister come out, and knowing that the culprit was right next to him, Jian Jiabei had found a good opportunity to vent his grievances.
"You have no idea! Dad is like he's taken some crazy medicine today. He started asking me all sorts of questions early in the morning and insisted that I go with him to the factory to work. But I already promised to go to the gym with my friends to play ball and exercise. Who wants to go?"
Jian Jiabei looked indifferent. Jian Yangping was also amused by his son's attitude. He wanted to say something, but finally held back and turned to Jian Jianan and spoke.
"Nannan, tell that brat that he doesn't want to go, and I don't want to ask him to come! He's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing how to appreciate a good person! He can come if he wants, but he really thinks I'm begging him!"
Jian Jianan hasn't spoken yet.
My brother snorted again in a strange tone, "Nannan, please tell that guy for me. It's up to him to come or not, right? Okay, that's best! I don't want to go at all. It's better for him to go to work early. Otherwise, if he's late, Boss Jian will lose hundreds of dollars in business every minute!"
Jian Jianan: "..."
Although my brother said this to me, anyone with eyes knows who he is really talking to.
I say, can't you two just sit down together and talk it out?
I think you guys have so much free time! The person in question is sitting right next to you, can't you just communicate directly? Why do you have to go through me?
It’s a good thing that you, Dad, are the one who started your own business. Don’t you know that you should avoid middlemen making a profit from the price difference?
There is a huge difference between the news being spread first-hand and second-hand. Do I need to teach you?
Jian Jianan was both angry and amused.
Jian Jianan was caught between his father and brother, and was in a very difficult situation.
"Nannan, help daddy tell that brat..."
"Nannan, please help your brother talk to that person who hasn't been going to work..."
"Wait! Wait! Stop, stop, stop!"
Finally, Jian Jianan couldn't stand it anymore and stood up from his chair. "You two, stop talking to me. Why don't you talk to each other directly?"
Jian Jianan was furious. She turned around and looked at the two awkward men in front of her, "Dad! Brother! I beg you! This is clearly a good thing for each other, and both of them are clearly thinking about each other, so why can't you just sit down and talk properly? Do you have to quarrel over such a small matter?"
Jian Jianan was speechless.
"Hmph! Who wants to quarrel with him?" This was Jian Jiabei who was still speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Hmph! Who wants to argue with him?" This is Jian Yangping who is still unwilling to give in.
Jian Jiannan's expression became serious, and he first said to Jian Jiabei, "Brother, Dad is doing this for your own good. He wants you to get more exposure to his business and understand the process, so that you can lay a solid foundation for what's next."
Then he said to Jian Yangping seriously, "Dad, my brother has you in his heart. I think you should also listen carefully to the reason why he refused to go. Didn't my brother say that he had already made an appointment to play basketball at the gym? Besides, he himself said that he is clumsy and can't help you."
Jian Yangping looked up at the sky and down at the ground, refusing to meet his daughter's eyes. He muttered, "I know! Can't he just talk it out nicely? He's so angry so early in the morning. If someone didn't know me, they'd think I was his enemy! How can he be a son at all!"
Jian Jianan frowned with a helpless look on his face. He looked at this and then that, and finally gave up the idea of verbal persuasion.
She said to her father, "Dad, are you going to be late? Why don't you hurry up and get to work? Didn't you say you had a meeting with Sister Tongtong today to discuss the interest-free loan? If you don't get going now for something so important, you'll definitely be late, right? And then Sister Tongtong will stand on the conference table and rage."
Jian Yangping thought about what his daughter said and realized that it was indeed true. He felt a little scared when he thought about the possibility that Deng Bitong would burst into anger.
"Okay, then Dad, I'll leave now. I'll go ahead." Jian Yangping took the key and was about to go out. Before he left, he still didn't give up. He pointed his finger firmly in the direction of Jian Jiabei's head and said, "You little bastard! Just wait and see if I don't teach you a lesson when I get back!"
Oh my goodness, Dad! Why are you still not willing to give up even at this point? Can't you just talk to me properly?
Before Jian Jiabei could answer, Jian Jianan acted decisively, used a little strength in his hands, and pushed his father out through the crack in the door.
"Dad! Have a good trip! Stay safe! Have a successful career! May your wealth roll in!"
"Goodbye, Dad!"
Before Jian Yangping could say anything, Jian Jianan slammed the door shut, shutting out all the words he had yet to say.
Oh, it’s too dangerous for these two people to be in the same room. They are both like gas tanks, and they can easily explode with a little spark. The most important thing is to separate them, otherwise there will be another big quarrel!
Finally, one of the plague gods was sent away. Jian Jianan was so exhausted that he leaned against the door. Alas, although mediating a fight only required his mouth, it was also physical work!
So tired!
It's not just a waste of saliva, but also a waste of energy and effort. You know, it's such a hard job to hold these two men down! Especially these two men, neither of them is willing to give in!
For every word Jian Jiabei says, Jian Yangping will retort with ten or eight words. Who can stand this?
Jian Jianan wanted to escape from this environment immediately. If he hadn't been concerned that one of these two people was his biological father and the other was his biological brother, he would have wanted to take action.
Fortunately, one of them has finally been sent away, so the remaining one will be easier to deal with.
Jian Jianan took a breath and rested for a while, then turned to face Jian Jiabei. She tried to smile the most gently and thoughtfully, and showed Jian Jiabei a smile that was the most kind, gentle and approachable after many attempts and adjustments, and the one that made people let down their guard to the greatest extent.
"Brother, let's talk..."
"Wait brother, what are you going to do?"
Jian Jiabei ignored his sister's words. He was now carrying his badminton club on his back, with a black headband on his head, looking like he was about to go out to play.
"What are you talking about? Don't you see how busy my brother is? I've already made an appointment to play ball with someone, and I'm going to be late! Please make way, please don't block the door, I need to go out!"
"Brother, wait for me! Wait for me, brother!"
Jian Jianan kept calling her brother's name from behind, asking him to walk slower and wait for her, but Jian Jiabei acted as if she didn't hear anything and kept walking forward stubbornly.
When they reached the bus stop, Jian Jianan finally pulled his brother along, but when he saw his impatient face, he finally got a little angry.
"What are you running for? Brother, are you hiding from me?" Jian Jianan was exhausted and panting, and she didn't look happy to her brother.
Jian Jiabei knew that his sister would not turn back until she hit the wall, so he deliberately slowed down his pace and waited for her to catch up. He also knew that his anger was a bit excessive, so he quickly looked at his sister's face and handed her a cup of tea, "You must be tired from running. Drink some water to moisten your throat."
"Brother! You haven't answered my question yet!"
Jian Jiabei scratched his head awkwardly, feeling very embarrassed. "Hey, don't I know what you want to say when you chase me out? You're so eloquent, of course I can't just stand there and wait for you to catch up! Otherwise, what should I do if you convince me?"
He had already experienced his sister's eloquence. Jian Jiabei had no doubt that with Jian Jianan's eloquence, she could make black appear white and white appear black.
If one day she pointed to the sky and said to him that the sun rises from the west, and then gave various reasons, Jian Jiabei felt that he would believe it without hesitation.
From this we can see that the saying "beware of fire, theft and sister" is very reasonable. Of course he had to run faster. He could guess with his toes what Jian Jianan wanted to say to him. Wasn't it just to adjust the relationship between him and his father?
He was worried, but Jian Jianan softened his heart with just a few words. Then he felt that what she said made sense and he shouldn't be so angry with his father. Then, out of guilt and soft-heartedness, he agreed to all of his father's unreasonable requests and went to the factory with him to help.
That wouldn't do! He had already planned out his one-month summer vacation, and he had thought about what he would do every day, and those activities didn't include helping out at the factory!
Jian Jianan: "..."
She was speechless. It turned out that this was what her brother was thinking. If you said he was not smart, he knew that he was good at talking and had to hide a little. If he didn't want to be persuaded, he had to run far away. But if you said he was smart, he stopped after running a little bit, and then when she asked him, he told her the reason in detail without any intention of hiding anything.
I really don’t know how to evaluate it.
Jian Jianan sighed and squeezed out a few words with great difficulty, "Brother, don't run away. I didn't expect to follow you this time to convince you of anything."
Jian Jiabei's eyes lit up, and he asked in disbelief, "What? Are you serious? You really don't want to convince me of anything?"
Jian Jianan sighed helplessly. What else could she say after having such a useless brother?
"Isn't your attitude clear from what you said to Dad? You simply don't want to help out at the factory. I don't know why, but I think you're going to be an adult in a few months, so you should have some judgment. As your parents, Mom and Dad should respect your wishes."
Jian Jianan rarely spoke a fair word. She knew what her father meant. Now Su Qinxuan owned the Nanbei Group, and Jian Yangping owned Shenya Clothing. It was impossible for such a huge industry under the names of both parents to fall entirely on Jian Jianan's shoulders in the future, right? They also had a son, Jian Jiabei!
Even if Jian Jiabei's talent is not as good as his sister's, he is still a living person after all, and a living person with blood ties to his family. If he learns more relevant knowledge now, he can assist Jian Jianan in handling business when he grows up!
No matter who of them will be in charge in the future, they will feel at ease handing over the business to Jian Jiabei, and it can also help relieve some of the pressure on their daughter. Why not do it?
But seeing how resistant Jian Jiabei was, the plan of his parents might be dashed. Jian Jianan sighed slowly. She could foresee that as long as her parents and brother did not change their minds, the tense atmosphere in their family would not be reversed for a long time.
Jian Jiabei got his sister's promise and knew that she didn't want to convince him on this matter. He immediately became visibly happy, "Okay, okay, that's fine. As long as you don't have the intention of trying to convince me, we are still siblings from the same mother!"
He waved his hand cheerfully, tightening the badminton racket on his back a little, and turned back to his sister in a heroic manner and said, "That's all right. Drink some water and take a breath, then go home. Didn't you say last night that you wanted to sit in on the meeting at Mom's? I have to go to the gym to play now and can't take care of you. You should go home first, and remember to ask the driver to pick you up!"
Jian Jianan had no intention of going home. She stared at her brother for several seconds, then suddenly said, "Forget it. I won't attend the meeting today. Mom will give me the minutes after the meeting, so I can know what happened. Brother, I'm going to the gym with you to play basketball today. Let's go."
Seeing Jian Jiabei's shocked and disbelieving expression, Jian Jianan suddenly burst out laughing, covering his mouth and saying, "What's wrong, brother? Why do you look so embarrassed? Do you think your sister is not presentable enough and don't want me to introduce her to your friends who play basketball with you?"
Jian Jiabei quickly came to his senses and shook his head, saying that he didn't mean that at all! His sister always liked to misunderstand him like this, "No, no, I didn't mean that at all. But don't you always want to play basketball with me? Why do you suddenly want to go to the gym with me today?"
Jian Jianan used to dislike participating in her brother's sport. She said that the gym was full of men playing sports, and it was a closed space, with all kinds of sweat and ball odors mixed together. How could she describe the smell?
Jian Jianan really disliked the smell. In the past, whenever her brother went to the gym to play ball or do exercise, she would never go with him. Why did she change her attitude today? It was really strange!
"Leave me alone!" Jian Jianan said coquettishly, "I've suddenly changed my mind and want to go watch you play basketball. Is that not okay?"
"Okay, okay! No problem, no problem! If you want to go, go ahead. Anyway, I'm here to watch you and I won't be able to do anything!"
Jian Jiabei was in a headache. He had seen how difficult Jian Jianan was. If he rejected this little devil now, when his parents came back in the evening, this spoiled brat would definitely complain to them immediately! Then, wouldn't he still be the one who got into trouble?
It would be better to agree to her at the beginning. After all, it’s just taking Jian Jianan to the stadium to broaden his horizons. It’s not a big deal!
Where her brother couldn't see, Jian Jianan lowered her head successfully, not letting her brother see the expression on her face. Jian Jiabei had been particularly abnormal during the period after the summer vacation, and his abnormal state was obvious to everyone.
Even if it's not for the sake of the rare summer vacation, it's also for the sake of the harmonious family atmosphere. Jian Jianan must of course find out what's wrong with him, and then nip this conflict in the bud in time, so as not to let the problem grow like a snowball and eventually become a mess!
Just like that, the handsome young man Jian Jiabei, along with his very difficult and spoiled sister, took the bus to the Shenzhen Gymnasium, which covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters, to start today's exercise quota.
As soon as Jian Jiabei entered the gym, he saw his golfing buddies who had made an appointment with him for the day had been waiting for a long time. Jian Jiabei was late, so he hurried to greet them.
As soon as his teammates saw Jian Jiabei, they said angrily, "What's wrong with you, Brother Xiaobei? We've all been waiting for you here for such a long time, and you're just here! You've never been late before, didn't you learn this from Xiao He? If you keep this up, I think you'll be the 'latecomer king' of our team!"
Xiao He is a member of their team who is often late. His full name is He Mi, so his teammates call him the "King of Lateness".
Jian Jiabei chuckled. He knew that he was in the wrong first. He had made an appointment with someone but was late, which aroused everyone's anger. Therefore, he did not defend himself, but admitted it directly.
"Oh, oh, I'm so sorry! Actually, I was about to go out a long time ago, but something happened at home, so I'm a little late! I'm so sorry, guys! How about this, after we finish playing ball, I'll treat everyone to some iced sour plum soup? How about that? Consider it my apology to everyone?"
Although Jian Jiabei was late, he did not tell others the specific reason for his lateness, nor did he expose Jian Jianan, the culprit beside him.
Seeing that he was so sensible, everyone stopped pursuing him and just laughed and let the matter go.
"Hey, Brother Xiaobei, why did you bring a girl here today? Who is this girl..."
Someone glanced behind Jian Jiabei, and Jian Jianan stood up and greeted people in a graceful manner.
"Hello, I'm Jian Jianan."
"This is my sister! She's on summer vacation now, and no one's at home. My parents are worried, so I brought her out! Don't worry, she's just watching us play ball. She's fine!"
In fact, as soon as you hear Jian Jianan's name, all the golfers will naturally know who she is. Now after hearing what Jian Jiabei said, everyone understands it even better.
Seeing that there was a little girl next to them, they all stopped playing and cursing like Jian Jiabei, and responded to Jian Jianan's other greetings.
"Hey sister!"
"Hey sister, come and watch our brother Xiaobei play basketball!"
"Sister, you have to watch carefully, your brother is such a great basketball player!"
Jian Jianan smiled and agreed to whatever they said. Jian Jiabei was a young man who had just reached adulthood, so naturally he looked for teammates who were of the same age as him.
Some of them are from the same school as him, and some are from other high schools. They are from different schools, ages and classes, but they just got together because of a common interest.
Jian Jianan was led by his brother to sit on a bench nearby. He stuffed two glasses of mineral water into his hands and listened to his brother's detailed instructions, just like his mother. "Just sit here. I've observed that this is a blind spot. It's very safe. Even if a ball hits here, it won't hit you. If you're thirsty, drink some water. If you're hungry, go outside and buy a small cake..."
"Okay, okay, I know. Brother, you better hurry up and get on stage. I see everyone else is getting impatient. I'm afraid if you don't get on stage, you'll be torn to pieces and eaten by the others!"
Jian Jianan found it funny. He thought that he didn't need such warnings at such an old age, so he quickly urged his brother to go on stage.
Jian Jiabei touched the back of his head, thought that there was nothing else that needed his sister's attention, so he took his badminton racket and went to the court with peace of mind.
Badminton is an intense sport that requires speed, agility, and physical fitness. Whether in doubles or singles, athletes' vision and physical strength are both indispensable.
Jian Jianan sat on the bench for more than half an hour, watching Jian Jiabei's teammates being replaced one by one, while his brother was still as energetic and lively as when he first started playing, as if he had endless energy.
