The next day, someone from the nearby village came to the school and hurriedly shouted that Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo were going to answer the phone, which turned out to be the phone from the city swimming center, and the phone said that Liu Dazhu had a few days off after participating in the swimming competition, and he would return to the mountains tomorrow to let someone go to the town to pick him up.

So, Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo hurriedly informed the children and Liu Dazhu's parents of the news, and everyone was very happy when they heard that Liu Dazhu was back. It's a pity that except for Lin Ping, other people don't know that Liu Dazhu has achieved excellent swimming results, and has entered the provincial youth swimming team from the municipal youth swimming team, otherwise they will be even happier.

The day when Liu Dazhu came back happened to be the weekend, Lin Ping asked Ma Zhongguo, who had inconvenient legs, to stay at school with the children, and then he and Liu Dazhu's father went to pick up Dazhu in person.

The two of them set off from the mountains on bicycles before dawn, and when they arrived in the town, it was close to noon, and the car of the city swimming center was already waiting at the gate of the town government.

Seeing Teacher Lin Ping and his father from a distance, Liu Dazhu ran down from the car and trotted all the way to his father's arms.

Liu Dazhu's father hugged Liu Dazhu distressedly and asked this and that, touched his head, touched his shoulders and touched his waist, and then said distressedly: "Dazhu has lost weight." ”

"How can there be, Uncle Liu, Dazhu is obviously fat, okay?"

Lin Ping said with a smile that in the hearts of parents, children will look like they are thin even if they are fat when they go out.

Liu Dazhu came out of his father's arms, and then plunged into Lin Ping's arms and sobbed aggrievedly.

"Da Zhu, what's wrong? Don't cry, are you being bullied?" Lin Ping touched Da Zhu's head and asked distressedly.

"Teacher, Dazhu only won the second place in this swimming competition," Liu Dazhu said and cried even more, "I can ...... I can take the first place, but I can't coach it...... Don't let me take it, only allow me to take the second ......"

At this time, Coach Li, who sent Liu Dazhu back, happened to come over, smoking a cigarette in his mouth, and sighed when he heard Liu Dazhu's words and said: "Aren't the first and second all the same? Anyway, you can enter the provincial swimming team, and no one will grab your place." ”

Lin Ping handed Liu Dazhu in his arms to his father, and then walked aside with Coach Li with a smile and asked, "What's the matter?" Coach Li, can such an excellent child take the first place, or should he be allowed to take the first place?"

Coach Li glanced at Lin Ping: "Do you think I don't want him to take the first place?"

Lin Ping said with a smile: "That's what Director Liu meant." ”

Coach Li threw the cigarette butt on the ground: "Director Liu also wants him to take the first place!"

Then Coach Li looked around and said to Lin Ping, "Do you know who won the first place?"

"Who?" Lin Ping asked curiously.

"The son of the head of the Yuan district in charge of the city's sports association. Coach Li said indignantly.

"Well, his son also joined the provincial swimming team?" Lin Ping asked.

"That's not true, people's sons don't look down on the provincial swimming team. Coach Li said, "His son is going to study abroad, and you also know that those famous private high schools and universities abroad not only look at your grades, but also look at what honors you have won for your personal qualities......

A week before the swimming competition, District Mayor Yuan invited Director Liu and Coach Li of the Municipal Swimming Center to dinner, and first politely said an official word, which is nothing more than to hold the swimming competition next week, and must ensure the safety of the participating team members, let them swim out of the wonderful swimming level, and at the same time ensure the fairness and justice of the competition, and present a wonderful game for the people and the Provincial Swimming Association.

After three rounds of drinking, District Chief Yuan grabbed Liu Wanlong's neck and said with a smile on his face: "Director Liu, my son plans to study abroad after a while, and there is no problem with his grades, but the school not only examines this achievement, but also examines this personal quality, for example, has he won any awards, has he won any first place, alas, I always feel that my son is a little bit worse when I am a father......

This sentence woke up the half-drunk Liu Wanlong with fright.

Then District Chief Yuan turned his head to Coach Li and said with a smile: "My son likes swimming, and he also applied for the swimming class of your swimming center, and he also participated in this swimming competition." ”

Coach Li's wine also woke up scared.

Coach Li lit another cigarette and said to Lin Ping: "Damn, it's all about this, does Director Liu dare not give this face?"

Coach Li said: "His son and Liu Dazhu reported that Nima is in the same swimming event, there is no way, you can only grieve Liu Dazhu." ”

Then Coach Li said with a happy smile: "However, Liu Dazhu is really competitive, the game is divided into qualifiers and finals, Liu Dazhu won the first place in the qualifiers of their group, and Nima broke the record of our province, you don't know that the eyes of those people from the Provincial Swimming Association are straight, just like seeing a baby, it is really awesome." ”

Coach Li leaned into Lin Ping's ear and said shyly: "In the finals on the second day, I can only let Liu Dazhu go without eating for a day to swim slowly, Liu Dazhu, this kid is stubborn and unwilling at first, so I can persuade him to give the son of District Chief Yuan a face." Hey, District Chief Yuan and his son didn't give it their hand, so Liu Dazhu waited for two seconds at the turnaround point to let his son get the first. ”

As he spoke, Coach Li laughed: "After the results came out, the deputy director of the Provincial Swimming Association knowingly asked and said, 'Are you tying something to this Liu Dazhu?'Why did he swim so slowly today?'What kind of thing did he swim for the first time?'How could he not even swim this kind of first?', let me tell you, District Chief Yuan on the side at that time heard this sentence, his face turned green!"

From Coach Li's happy expression and image description, Lin Ping imagined the picture as if he was watching the live broadcast.

After telling Lin Ping about this, Coach Li was in a very good mood. Although Liu Dazhu failed to win the first place in the city swimming competition, he still created his own history and reflected his own value, and was favored by the Provincial Swimming Association, and he was very important.

The two walked back from the side, Liu Dazhu was still crying, and said unhappily after seeing Lin Ping: "Teacher, I can take the first place!"

"It's okay," Lin Ping squatted down and pressed Liu Dazhu's shoulder and said, "Remember the teacher's words, the more you go up in this world, the fairer it will be, and the more you go up, the brighter it will be, you have to keep swimming, swim hard, swim to the province and then swim to the national team, swim to the world championship, and when the time comes, as long as you have the ability, no one will stop you from winning the first place!"

The world is always not absolutely fair, each of us will encounter some unfair treatment to a greater or lesser extent, and the more at the bottom, the more possibilities there are, but in any case gold will always shine, and then with a fair and righteous heart to work hard, go farther and climb higher, and when we stand high enough, look back and look at those unfairness, you have the ability to eliminate those unfairness.

The people need fairness, the society needs justice, and young people are the main force in building a harmonious socialist society and a fair society.

However, I am afraid that the dragon slaying boy will eventually grow dragon scales.

After Lin Ping encouraged Liu Dazhu with positive words, Coach Li on the side said leisurely: "The higher you go, the brighter it is? ”

Lin Ping turned his head and said with a smile: "No, Coach Li, can we not black the national football team?"

"Does the national football team still need black?" said Coach Li with a smile.

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

That is, does the national football team still need black?

"Let's go, let's eat, and celebrate Liu Dazhu's entry into the Provincial Swimming Association!" Coach Li said happily, "Director Liu asked me to treat him for him." ”
