Although the training of Qingdao High School baseball team is very hard, Zhang Han still tries to find time to go home.
There are two women in the family. Although Ms. Lan He is already a mother of two children, her mental age is still in her teens.
My sister’s mental age is about the same.
Zhang Han felt a little worried about leaving the two of them at home.
Considering that I will go to college in the future, it is very likely that I will not see my two closest relatives for several years.
As long as conditions permit, Zhang Han is willing to spend as much time as possible with his two relatives.
This will save me from not going home for several years and feeling regretful.
After taking the tram for more than half an hour, Zhang Han finally arrived at the community where his home was.
It was still early and most of the uncles and aunts were still at work, so the whole community was very quiet.
It was not until he reached the door of his house that Zhang Han heard someone talking in his house.
" Oh , Hanhan, this kid, I think he has a bright future, look, he's even been featured in a magazine."
"It's just that the person taking the photo is not good. Look at how pale Hanhan's face looks, as if he is malnourished."
"I've heard that kids who can appear in magazines like this will have great potential in the future."
"The eldest sister has finally made it!"
"Look at Hanhan, and then look at those two brats in our family. Oh, I won't say anything. This is fate."
Several women were talking in the room, and the whole room looked like a market .
Lan He's voice came out, sounding very happy.
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his voice rose several degrees.
"Sister Wang, it's not as good as you say. That brat is just lucky to be valued by Mr. Ono..."
"Don't be so modest! If Hanhan didn't have that talent, how could anyone be so eager to invite him to study Little League?"
"I heard that they didn't charge any money, right? It's said that playing Little League makes tens of thousands a year! (Mainland currency)"
"It's not that exaggerated. I heard from Xiaohan that it's only about 10,000 yen. A few hundred thousand yen a year seems to be..."
There were sighs of envy all around.
Zhang Han himself also felt it was very novel.
When the Matsukata Little League team won the national runner-up title, several TV stations broadcast the event.
Zhang Han originally thought that it would definitely cause some ripples around the circle where he lives.
The result is nothing.
The uncles and aunts around him are low-level workers who come to Tokyo to work.
Normally, people don't care much about the situation in the island country. Even though they know that Zhang Han has made it to the national competition, they don't think it's a big deal.
Some people even talked about it privately, saying that Zhang Han was not doing his job properly.
In other words, Ms. Lan He is more open-minded and thinks there is nothing wrong with having a hobby.
Just think of it as exercise, and that didn't stop him from playing baseball.
I didn't expect that an unexpected effort would lead to a great success.
Zhang Han received several million dollars in scholarships because of baseball.
That’s not all, he was featured in a magazine also because of baseball.
Not only in school and on the Internet, but now even things around him have changed.
"Mom, I'm back!"
After Zhang Han entered the house, the aunties around him patted his head and praised him.
To be honest, Zhang Han really doesn't like this feeling.
Because he has been fair-skinned since childhood, the elders around him like to pinch him. In the past, they pinched his face, but now they just touch his head. Zhang Han hates this.
But every time he saw the satisfied smile on Lan He's face, he couldn't bear to refuse and could only let her do what she wanted.
As a result, even now, he has become a big man of 1.8 meters tall, and the women around him have not changed this habit.
They enjoy doing this and even get worse.
Zhang Han tried hard to maintain the image of a good boy.
Lan He was standing aside, smiling very happily.
Zhang Han waited until these aunts left before going to take a shower in a bad mood.
His hair was already a mess and he looked miserable.
When he was on the team, everyone knew that Zhang Han had a bad temper.
He can usually maintain politeness, but once he gets angry, he will immediately put on an expression that keeps people at a distance.
It looks particularly bluffing.
So much so that when he was in Matsukata Little League, many players of the same age called Zhang Han "Zhang Sang".
Sang is a respectful title used by subordinates to address their superiors, and by junior students to address senior students.
"How's school going?"
"Not bad! This is my last warning. Tell those aunties not to touch my head anymore, or I'll get really mad. Don't blame me for not giving you face and making you lose face."
"I see!"
Lan He responded.
She said that, but it didn't seem like she took it seriously at all.
Zhang Han was speechless.
She has taken advantage of me so much that sooner or later I will let her know how powerful I am.
"How come they have a Baseball Kingdom magazine? When I was on TV before, they were fine, weren't they?"
Zhang Han asked curiously.
Baseball doesn't have much of a market in its own country. Strictly speaking, there isn't much of a market for any sport in its own country, let alone baseball.
It's okay to treat it as a hobby, but you can really pursue it as a career.
90% of parents would object.
This did not change even when they went to a foreign country.
The children of these aunts just joined a school club to follow the crowd and did not take the club activities seriously at all.
They pay more attention to academic performance and getting into a good school.
To them, even playing baseball and being on TV is no big deal.
Not to mention being in a magazine.
"It's all about money! They heard from somewhere that you didn't take the school selection fee and that you received a scholarship. They all regretted it so much that they would have let their children join a sports club. I can't say about other things, but they are pretty confident about playing table tennis."
Table tennis is really suitable for Chinese people, no joke.
No training or study is required, just stay at the ping-pong table for three days and play for three days.
Basically, you can play like a real player.
"Plus, they heard that you got paid thousands of dollars for the magazine shoot, so..."
Zhang Han originally wondered how those aunts knew the significance of playing baseball and the future prospects of baseball players?
Unexpectedly, that was not the case at all. It was all about money.
It's really a Chinese way of becoming famous.
"Is that magazine still looking for you to shoot?"
"I heard from their reporter that if our school allows, I can take a few promotional photos for them, and occasionally appear on the cover or something, maybe once or twice every two months!"
"Doesn't that mean you earn 18,000 yuan a month?"
"It should be about the same..."
"Where's the money?"
"what money?"
"Why are you pretending to be stupid? Hand it over to me. I will save it for you and use it to marry you a wife in the future."
