"Have you heard? Vice Hu was chased by many people to sign today! ”

"Really?!"

"Of course it's true, I've seen it with my own eyes!"

"I heard that there were girls who ran to the door of Hulai's class to block him and ask for autographs......

"Holy, really?"

"Really, really, and it seems that there are still people chasing after the toilet to ask for autographs......

"Exaggerated, exaggerated......"

“666！”

The players of Dongchuan Middle School in the locker room were chatting while changing clothes, and the content of the chat was naturally inseparable from their vice-captain Hu Lai.

In fact, since the players in the first year of high school came to the team, they learned that although Yan Yan is nominally the captain and does everything, the topic of conversation in the locker room is always the vice-captain who doesn't seem to be very reliable.

Hu Lai doesn't look like a captain no matter how he looks, and when everyone gets along with him, it is inevitable that they will forget his identity a little.

But no one dared to underestimate their vice-captain because of this.

After all, people's performance is really here.

The team's top scorer, the Anton Cup Golden Boot, can complete a hat trick against Jiaxiang High School.

Whoever dares to underestimate such a person has water in his head.

So although the captain is Yan Yan, the core of the team is indeed Hu Lai.

At this moment, Hulai, the focal point of their conversation, was standing at the door of the dressing room, with his ear to the door panel, eavesdropping on what his teammates were saying about him.

When he heard the front, he had a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden.

But when he heard what was chased to the toilet to sign an autograph, the smile on his face disappeared, and he quickly pushed the door in.

"It's true that a girl went to my class to ask for an autograph, but what the hell is chasing to the toilet?" As soon as he entered, he kept a straight face and tried to make his voice more majestic.

"Ah, Deputy Hu......"

"No, no, I just heard, I just heard......"

"Haha, go to the toilet and ask for an autograph?" Meng Xi, who came in from behind, laughed, "Let me think about it, Hu Lai, you hold a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, how can you hold that thing?" ”

As he said this, he glanced sheepishly at Hulai's bottom.

The others laughed as well.

Hu Lai crossed his hands on his hips and pushed out a little underneath: "Help? Why do you want to help? Uncle, I never help when I pee! ”

The laughter in the dressing room exploded, almost toppling the stands overhead.

In the classroom, a boy opened his notebook, and two large characters that were not good-looking, "Hulai", appeared on the paper.

The same table glanced at it and was a little surprised: "Wow, you kid even went to Hu Lai to ask for an autograph?" ”

"At that time, I saw so many people asking for it, so I wanted to go and have a good ......time," the owner of the book explained with some embarrassment.

"That's not a very ......," said the tablemate, with some disgust. Since it's an impulse, let's tear it off and throw it away. ”

The boy looked at the signature on the notebook and was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "No." Keep it, it's a souvenir. When Luo Kai left, many people regretted that they didn't ask him for an autograph or something. ”

As he spoke, he tore the signed page from his notebook with a ruler.

"Do you think Hulai can play professionally?" His table mates were surprised by his attitude.

"I don't know." The boy shook his head and said, "But this is also the signature of the top scorer of the Anton Cup, and it doesn't take up space when you put it away, so why throw it away?" ”

He sandwiched the piece of paper in his history textbook.

The Anton Cup is over, but the training of the Dongchuan Middle School football team will not end there.

They have to practice at a normal training rhythm until New Year's Day.

After New Year's Day, as the school's final exams approach, the training will stop.

Then during the winter break, we will have another training camp. It's exactly the same as last year's arrangement.

And Hulai's response is exactly the same as last year, this time he didn't even have to discuss with his mother, but his mother took the initiative to ask him if the team was going to train during the winter vacation.

After receiving Hulai's affirmative answer, his mother picked up her mobile phone and signed him up with a smile and signed up for two winter vacation tuition packages for mathematics and English.

In other words, although the school cannot directly and blatantly conduct cram schools due to policies, it does not prevent teachers from taking the initiative to recommend various off-campus cram schools to students' parents.

And the words are particularly stark - everyone else goes to tutoring, and if your children don't go, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep up after school starts.

When parents hear this, how dare they not give their children tutoring?

So in fact, the above has been shouting about reducing the burden, but no parent really dares to reduce the burden on their children.

After all, if you really reduce the burden on your children, who will you find to reason with you if you can't get into college at that time?

Hu Lai didn't know whether it was good to reduce the burden, but from a personal point of view, he very much hoped that the burden would not be reduced, so that the school could openly hold a winter vacation cram school, and he could take advantage of this opportunity to train in the school openly, without being forced by his mother to run at both ends......

The final exams were over, and the players of the Dongchuan Middle School soccer team threw themselves into training on the second day of winter vacation, not worrying about whether their academic performance would satisfy their parents.

The training content is mainly technical and tactical training, supplemented by physical training.

Li Ziqiang designed some offensive tactics around the trident composed of Hu Lai, Xia Xiaoyu and Shen Yulin, and required the team to master it in the two-stage training camp during the winter vacation.

In his vision, if Dongchuan Middle School wants to achieve good results in the national competition, the cooperation of these three people is very important.

And the performance of these three people must be based on the cooperation of the whole team. It's definitely not that only these three people are involved in the attack, and the others are focused on defense.

He asked the team to keep all three lines compact, everyone was not allowed to stand still after passing, they had to run to the next position, and if they didn't do that, there would be no chance to play.

It is necessary to try to form a situation in which more is fought less in some parts.

If you lose the ball, you have to organize a counter-attack on the spot, and everyone must act in unison, no one can go on and some people don't.

In fact, these are the tactics adopted by Dongchuan Middle School in the Anton Cup, but Li Ziqiang has refined it a little more, and at the same time, through repeated training, the team has mastered it more deeply.

Make it form the style of the Higashikawa Middle School football team.

Just like Jiaxiang High School focuses on defense, Dongchuan Middle School focuses on overall offense and defense.

Even a striker like Hulai needs to be involved in the defense - not to mention whether he can break the ball, but when he is needed, he has to be in position so that his team does not lose one man in defence.

Doing so is very demanding on Hulai's physical fitness, but fortunately, after two years of training, Hulai's physical fitness has made great progress.

And Li Ziqiang didn't arrange too many heavy defensive tasks for Hu Lai, just asked him to fall into position. So don't worry about the return to defend affecting his performance in attack.

In the intense training camp, time flies very quickly, and for Hu Lai, a person who has to run at both ends of the training camp and tutoring, it passes even faster.

In the blink of an eye, the first training camp ended, and the Spring Festival was only two days away.

During the Spring Festival this year, Hu Lai heard from his mother that his grandfather in Jincheng said that he wanted his daughter to go back for the New Year, but his mother rejected him. Under the pretext that the unit is on duty, the time cannot be made.

In fact, it takes only 35 minutes to take the high-speed train from Dongchuan to Jincheng, so where can you not make up the time?

It's just because Hu Lai's mother is unwilling to take her husband and children back to be angry.

Hulai didn't really care about this, and he didn't have a good impression of his grandfather's relatives anyway.

When he was a child, he used to look down on his father because of his relatives and children over there, and scolded his father for being a toad, and Hu Lai also had a fight with the other party. With one against four, the thin Hu Lai of course lost without suspense, and was beaten into a pig's head by four cousins. Hulai, on the other hand, can only leave some nail marks on the other party.

But the other party also sued the villain first, saying that Hu Lai stole their toys, causing Hu Lai to be cleaned up by his grandfather - Hu Lai knew that his grandfather actually didn't like his father, and he didn't like himself.

Because of this, Hu Lai's mother quarreled with her father on the first day of the new year, lifted the table in front of dozens of relatives, and then took her son and husband straight to the bus station, and returned to Dongchuan on the same day by long-distance bus. Angry, her father pointed at the backs of the three people and scolded him for severing the father-daughter relationship, but Hulai's mother didn't look back.

For several years after this incident, my mother almost cut off contact with her relatives in her own family, and never returned to her mother's house in Jincheng.

It wasn't until my grandfather became seriously ill that he started moving around again, and he didn't move around very often, and he didn't go back if he didn't have anything necessary. But unlike before, when she had to work hard to maintain harmony in front of her relatives, Hulai's mother rarely cared about the face of her relatives and her own parents, and she didn't even bother to do superficial work.

As for Hu Lai's father, Hu Lixin, in order not to make it difficult for his wife, he never mentioned going to Hu Lai's grandfather's house.

In short, for Hulai, the grandfather who was close at hand, and the aunts, uncles, aunts, cousins, cousins, etc...... It's not his own family, the family is a family of three, he, mom, and dad.

As for my father's relatives, because they were too far away, and my grandparents passed away early, they didn't move around much, so they were naturally even more emotionally indifferent.

He is used to the New Year with three people, and he doesn't think there is anything bad about it.

He didn't envy the big family reunion of more than a dozen or dozens of people in other people's families, but he felt that there were more relatives and more.

What the?

You say that there are fewer relatives and less money?

But there are more relatives, and there are more New Year's money sent out by my parents. At that time, my parents will give less, and it will make people laugh, so don't give anyone at all. Hu Lai is not uncommon with relatives' New Year's money, and his parents don't have to be looked down upon for giving New Year's money.

It's clear that they are happy to spend the New Year, but they still have to be angry, who rarely celebrates the New Year with them?
