"Brother Niu, good morning!"

"Brother Niu, it's early!"

……

In the warm greeting of the juniors, a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes responded with a smile. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a smile on his face, and his heart was extremely heavy, because he was about to say goodbye to the sports he had been fighting for many years, in the days before the Spring Festival had passed.

Sweat, tears and even blood, years of hard work but have to say goodbye, but this is the cruelty of competitive sports.

A bald old man in a coach's uniform sat alone in his office, took a few puffs of his cigarette and flicked the ash into a glass ashtray. But he didn't even notice that most of the smoke had bounced out of the tank.

He waited for his beloved disciple to arrive, but he didn't know what to say.

"Master, I'm here!" the young strong man went straight into the coach's office without knocking.

But the coach didn't mean anything dissatisfied, just motioned for him to sit down first.

The old man finally finished the cigarette in his hand, and then pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray so fiercely. Then he took out a document from the drawer in front of him and slapped it in front of his apprentice.

"Hey, there's nothing more to say, I made all the possibilities clear to you the week before, you can see for yourself, give me the final choice!

The old man's helpless words did not surprise the strong man, and he looked at the document in his hand carefully.

However, it didn't take long for him to pout and smile: "Just row me to the non-Olympic events, if you want to play dragon boat, I just go back to the township, and I don't need to go to such a professional place as the provincial team." ”

The old man touched his shiny scalp, and comforted his lover in a consultative tone: "Erniu, but this is a place to stay, you have been a gymnast for so many years, and you don't have much education, do you really want to go back to the countryside to serve the crops?"

The strong man named Erniu said with a smile: "Master, serving the crops is not as miserable as you imagined. Besides, my dad now runs a small supermarket, and life is still okay. ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Your father's small supermarket of less than 200 square meters can really keep your heart, I don't know what kind of person you are?"

"I want to go abroad to join my brother! Anyway, I won't go dragon boating, I just row and row all day long, what's the point?" Er Niu made an exaggerated emoji while gesturing his movements.

The old man with a cold face was instantly amused by this kid. There are always people in this world who will express themselves in such a way that ordinary people seem to be two-fold. Most people don't want to be like that, but they want to have friends like that.

"Da Niu, this young man, I know, the first undergraduate student in the township, he still studied Shuimu, and later went to the United States. Anyway, why is your kid not as smart as your brother, and he doesn't care about four or six all day long. ”

After speaking, he also patted Erniu's head gently.

Erniu stuck out his tongue and grimaced: "This is for my parents! My little sister is also a top person, why is the family stupid and stupid?"

The old man smiled: "Where are you stupid and stupid, obviously lazy and greedy, otherwise how can you grow so big?

Erniu hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said, "Yo, master, it's not easy, you even know the stalk of 'bright blind dog eyes'." ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "Go, go, you think you young people will go online? Oh, here is your proof of leaving, you will not be a member of the provincial team in the future, and I will ask you for the last time, are you really unwilling to obey the assignment?"

Looking at the old man's sincere eyes, Erniu gritted his teeth and said: "I still want to go and see it myself, I am also a national first-class athlete who has won the third place in the National Youth Championships, no matter how bad I go to other cities in the future, I can also be a physical education teacher who teaches gymnastics, right?"

The old man rubbed his disciple's hair dotingly, pouted and said, "With your body, you don't look like a gymnast!"

After speaking, both the master and apprentice burst out laughing.

Laughing and laughing, the two hugged each other again and cried softly.

……

That year, Lao Wu still had sparse hair on his head.

That year, Ruan Erniu was short and skinny, and he scurried around the woods like a monkey.

It was Lao Wu who pulled this leather monkey into the gymnastics team.

At that time, Ruan Erniu's family was indeed not wealthy, at least the hope and wealth of the whole family were pinned on the boss who was excellent in reading. As for this second child who doesn't like to study, it is naturally good to learn a skill.

A thin teenager grows stronger, and the training is devastating, day after day, year after year.

Participate in competitions again and again, and win honors one by one.

Pain, joy, tears, applause.

didn't usher in bloom at the most glorious time, can you really pass by with a sentence of youth without regrets?

I'm afraid no one can understand the master and apprentice who are like father and son.

But life has to go on, and it can only end with a hug.

……

Leaving the dormitory of the gymnastics center with a bunch of messy things, after saying goodbye to his friends from the gymnastics team, Erniu embarked on the journey back to his hometown.

However, his hometown is not the end of Ruan Erniu.

After working as a temporary cashier in his father's small supermarket for two days, he finally embarked on a journey to the United States.

"Don't trouble your brother when you go over there, be a good man, and listen to your brother!" Ruan's father told his son before he left for the distance.

"Dad, there's nothing else you want me to bring to my brother?, for example, find me a sister-in-law as soon as possible, and give the Ruan family an heirloom or something as soon as possible?" Erniu said with a smile.

Although Ruan's father is a farmer, he has an open-mindedness that is different from that of the older generation, and said with a wry smile: "You all go away from home, and you often can't come back for the Chinese New Year, even if I say it, what's the use? Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I can't take care of the old man!"

Ruan Erniu, who arrived at the airport 2 hours ahead of schedule with his luggage, sat in the lobby of Dubei International Airport, nibbling on the hamburger he had just bought, while listening to music with the headphones of the new iPod that his eldest brother bought for him.

To say that he wasn't nervous at all would be a lie, he was a 17-year-old after all. Although the other side of the Pacific Ocean has its own relatives to take care of it, it is a foreign land after all.

Busy people walked past him, and from time to time there were envious or jealous glances from people because of his large size.

At this moment, Ruan Erniu still doesn't know what will greet him?

He simply felt that his career as a gymnast was over, and the road ahead was still very confused.

What he didn't know was that his legend was unfolding.

And the people of the United States on the other side of the ocean would not have thought that a big boy from the countryside of the Celestial Empire would completely subvert their inherent thinking.

The old story will come to an end, and a new legend has begun!
