Busy with things at home, for Yao Aijun, the rest time after the game is almost over. I took my schoolwork and the seaside specialties I brought back, and went to visit Professor Xu.

The professor's wife saw him coming, her eyebrows and eyes softened a lot, and when she was older, she was very happy to have a young man in the house.

"It's okay with the competition, it's not on TV, it's all going well?"

"Well, it's all going well, and the board is the first to qualify." Yao Aijun said with a smile.

"That's nice!" Shen Yijun patted him on the back shoulder lovingly and led him to the small living room to sit down.

Hearing the sound, Professor Xu, who came out of the study, held a pot of tea in his hand, and was very happy when he saw someone, and began to tease him after greeting him twice: "Your hobby is on the national team and you are going out to compete, when will you be busy with serious things?" ”

In Professor Xu's eyes, diving is definitely not a "serious thing"! Yao Aijun never argued with the professor on this point, and quickly took out the schoolbag he brought over and took out a thick stack of printer paper.

"This is my previous correspondence with Professor Smith, and he asked the senior brother in their lab to test the motion model they had done before, and accumulated a lot of data. The distribution of male and female athletes is quite large. Comparatively, the senior group on their side is a lot better than our own team. ”

"Well, I'll see."

Yao Aijun is not short of money now, this year's expensive computer printers and other equipment are equipped at home, a thick stack of materials includes communication information, including their own data processing documents, all are printed in a standardized format, looking very clean and tidy.

Professor Xu looked very carefully, page by page, in detail, especially in the comparative array of data analysis and the derivation of conclusions, and for a while only the sound of the paper was turned over.

Professor Xu carefully discussed with him the key points of some issues, emphasizing the rigor of derivation logic and the long-term comparison of data cases.

"You are now experimenting with your own derivation model step by step, have you thought about the direction of the future?" Professor Xu asked.

At Yao Aijun's age, it is really not easy to have this kind of application model results. However, without a clear and detailed direction plan, future exhibitions will be very limited.

Yao Aijun hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly: "I think that the more I read, the more I feel that I know too little." I often go up to check the address you gave me and the one on Professor Smith's side. I don't think many of the issues discussed above are incomprehensible. I am afraid that it is not enough to talk about the future direction now. ”

Professor Xu opened his mouth in slight surprise, leaning less, but smiled.

"Yes. How old are you! ”

Professor Xu picked up the teapot and took a sip.

He loves Yao Aijun very much, even if he doesn't have a full apprenticeship, Xu Peizhi values him very much.

The most important thing is this steadfastness and honesty.

Young Tianjiao, most of them are conceited and proud; But Yao Aijun here, he never hides his ignorance, and he will not hesitate to ask for help when he is confused.

People know their own inadequacy, and they are not arrogant, which is something that no one who is too old can do!

Professor Xu did not explicitly give him a path to choose, but changed his direction and asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?" ”

Yao Aijun shook his head for a moment, and before he could react, he said very directly: "I want to take the college entrance examination seriously, strive to be admitted to a good university, and study systematically. ”

"It's not subdivided until graduate school, but when you go to university, you have to think about studying literature, science, engineering or medicine." Professor Xu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "It seems that you really dare to think without knowing anything." ”

"I was asking, how many years do you want to do diving as a target direction?" Professor Xu put down the teapot in his hand and knocked his fingers on the glass of the coffee table, making a crisp sound.

"Let's not mention liberal arts, presumably you won't be studying literature in the future. Then for the rest, whether theoretical or applied, a lab project starts, there won't be time for you to run around. If you want to be a professional athlete, at least in China, there will be no conditions for you to concentrate on scientific research. Do you know that? ”

Yao Aijun's whole body tensed all of a sudden, and his body trapped in the sand seemed to be under a tight spell, and he didn't dare to move.

The sound of the professor tapping on the glass table was as if it were pounding in the body, hitting the bones, hard, cold.

Walking to the intersection, the diving stage and the once unfinished school are the two ends of the road.

Don't have both!

Seeing the student who he valued in his heart sitting so stiffly in front of him, Professor Xu couldn't bear it.

How old is this, although he was studying abroad when he was his age and suffered a lot, but in retrospect, there are still more sweet and beautiful times. I always feel a little tolerant of the juniors.

Professor Xu took out a tea tray from under the coffee table, lifted the turned tea cup and put it in two, lifted the teapot and poured two cups.

pushed a cup to Yao Aijun. "Don't be too anxious, you still have at least 2 years to take the college entrance examination, and you still have time to think about it. During this time, you should not overthink it. This model in your hand is enough for you to eat for a while, so you can eat the related knowledge points first. Our school and Purdue's two libraries are enough for you. Although it is said that you can't chew too much, you can always know what you are better at when you see more. ”

"Well......" Yao Aijun was still immersed in a dilemma.

"When you take the college entrance examination in two years, we will talk about the future." Professor Xu's face was calm and light. At the moment, the teenager is too eager, and sometimes the accumulation of time is necessary in life. It brings you precipitation, brings you thinking, and will also bring more guidance in the dark......

"Professor, then I'll ......" Yao Aijun wasn't sure what the old professor meant, and said hesitantly: "Then can I still come over usually?" ”

"Of course!"

"Can I go with you to class?"

"It's okay to give big lectures in schools, but not to professional summits."

"That lab ......"

"I can take you to play when I have time." Professor Xu smiled, feeling very happy to tease the little classmates, but he couldn't make people anxious, "You can ask whatever you want, the old man is still waiting for you to come to school." Keep up your good work, our school is not easy to test! ”

Yao Aijun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you, professor, I will work hard!" ”

In the days that followed, Yao Aijun was also carefully considering it over and over again. How can I balance diving and schoolwork?

The final conclusion is that there is almost zero chance at the moment!

The reason why there are so many athletes abroad who have achieved something outside of sports is because they only regard sports as a personal hobby. All training is done in personal time, going to the club to train and getting a personal trainer! And there is no such sports education system operated by private capital in China!

In a few years, after the rise of private capital in China, various sports education institutions in the form of clubs will appear. For example, tennis, swimming, ice skating, and so on. However, diving is still a very specialized sport.

Fortunately, he still has two years to go, and he has to think about this important decision that has a bearing on his future.

Right now, his more urgent need is an exam!

The "nominally" head teacher of Tian Shichang Middle School, who had not been in contact for a long time, called him to inform him that the final exam of the first semester of the second year of high school was about to begin. Even if you borrow it, you have to go back to take the final exam twice a year! This is an important task for schools to participate in the rankings! (To be continued.) )8
