"Dad, Mom, I'll go first." As soon as he swallowed the last mouthful of milk, Hulai got up from the table, grabbed the bag next to him, and changed his shoes and went out.

"Be careful on the road." The mother peeked out of the kitchen and admonished.

"Yes!" When he answered this, Hulay was already outside the door.

Listening to the echoing footsteps in the corridor, Xie Lan glanced at her husband who was eating breakfast, and said with a smile: "Our children are becoming more and more sensible, and they go to school every day to study early, I said that you should also rest assured, right?" ”

"It depends on his test scores." Hu Lixin said while peeling the shell of a boiled egg.

"He rose 10 places in the final exam last semester compared to the last semester of his first year of high school. Moreover, as long as our son has this attitude, you should be happy. Xie Lan took the tablecloth and went to where Hulai was sitting, and cleaned up the piece. Hu Lixin, I'm serious, you should also be a little more tolerant of our son. Sometimes, you're so strict that I wonder if you're your own......"

Hu Lixin frowned and said: "I am strict with him now, and it is also for his good." You also know that this kid has no shape all day long, if you dare to relax a little, he will dare to uncover the roof for you. ”

"That being said, you are too strict, it will make him afraid of you, and the relationship between the two of you father and son is too stiff and not good, aren't you afraid that he won't love you?" Sheeran swept the shells of the two eggs that Hulay had eaten into the cup from which he drank milk with a tablecloth.

"I just want him to be doing well, it doesn't matter if he loves me or not." Hu Lixin said.

"You're saying this again!" Xie Lan stared at her husband and said dissatisfied.

Hu Lixin looked down at his knees and said: "I don't want him to follow my old path, he went to write and play football at a young age, studied for more than ten years, and retired without even playing a professional game, what else is left except for an injury?" When I came out of society, I found that I didn't know anything, had a low education, and had no ability. At first, I worked hard, but then I couldn't sell my strength...... Study hard, go to university, and get a job is much easier. ”

"Haven't you heard that it's hard for college students to find a job now?"

"No matter how hard it is to find, it is better than me."

Seeing that her husband was so stubborn, Xie Lan couldn't continue to talk about this topic, she could only sigh in her heart, and turned around and walked to the kitchen with the dishes, chopsticks and cups used by Hu Lai.

Behind her, Hu Lixin, dressed in a security uniform, stuffed a peeled egg into his mouth.

When Hulai arrived at the school, he parked his bicycle in a special carport outside the school gate and ran straight to the football field.

Li Ziqiang was already waiting for him there, just like every morning before.

When there were not many people on campus, and the stadium tracks and stands were not occupied by students memorizing English words and political texts, Hu Lai had already started training under the guidance of Li Ziqiang.

This time they didn't train directly on the court, but went to the single parallel bars area.

Standing in front of a pair of parallel bars with the highest height, Li Ziqiang said to Hulai: "Upper body strength training is divided into arm strength, neck and shoulder strength, chest strength, back and hip strength, and abdominal strength. We practice the same. Start with arm strength first. See this parallel bars? ”

Hulai nodded.

"Watch me demonstrate." Li Ziqiang turned around, raised his arms, grabbed the parallel bars with both hands, jumped up a little harder, and then straightened his arms to support his body.

After his body was still, his arms slowly bent and his body slowly descended, until his upper arms were almost parallel to the ground.

Then his body began to move upwards again, and his arms slowly straightened from a ninety-degree bend, and when they were fully straightened, his body returned to its original position.

The next step is to repeat this elbow flexion and stretch.

After doing this, Li Ziqiang jumped down from the parallel bars, clapped his hands and said to Hu Lai, "Do you see clearly?" There are a few things to keep in mind when doing this, the first is that you should only lower your upper arms parallel to the ground, don't go any further, and don't raise your elbows higher than your shoulders. If you move correctly and train properly, there will be a stretch in front of your shoulders. ”

"Okay, I see, Coach."

"Okay, then you can do it." Li Ziqiang retreated and gave up the place to Hulai.

Hulai spat into the palm of his hand, grabbed the parallel bars and jumped up, then pushed his body up with all his might, and then slowly descended.

"That's it, keep ......" Li Ziqiang watched him make movements below, while constantly correcting and reminding him. Don't shake your body, steady! The more you shake your body, the more tired you get! ”

"The elbow height is not right, continue to lower the position...... The upper arm is parallel to the ground, that is, the elbow is at 90 degrees. yes, yes, yes, that's the location, you remember the feeling here. Is there a stretch in the front of the shoulder? ”

Hulai gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes, the coach ......"

"That's right, go on, go back!"

Hulai slowly stretched his body up with the strength of his upper arms.

When his body reached the top, he quickly entered the system to take a look at his current "BUFF": in the space to the right of his avatar, the effect of the strength training scroll was displayed, and the countdown under the icon told him that he had nine lessons left.

Seeing this scroll effect, Hulai felt relieved.

Come on special training, when I have developed a muscle, I must buy that skinny T-shirt to wear!

It's like Chen Rui's muscle-showing maniac!

"Xiaoyu, Deputy Hu was actually asked by the coach to train his strength, and at noon, he was lifting iron there......" During the lunch break, Chen Rui came to chat with Xia Xiaoyu.

And the topic is naturally the special training of their vice-captain.

In fact, since joining the team, every high school player has gradually come to terms with the fact that their vice-captain has to undergo additional training and has been scolded by the head coach.

The captains and vice-captains of other teams seem to be the highest level in this team, but this is not the case in Dongchuan Middle School.

Their vice-captain is a rookie who only started to get into football training when he entered the school team in his first year of high school, and he has a weak foundation and has left a lot of homework to make up.

Therefore, every day before reading and during the lunch break, he will conduct special training under the guidance and supervision of the head coach.

Before, it was about his movement and shooting, but now it's about his strength.

Freshman players privately discuss their vice-captains.

It stands to reason that such a person will not be able to play in other teams, let alone vice captains, and he may not even be able to play.

But Vice Hu was not only a starter at Dongchuan Middle School, but also scored five goals in three games.

In everyone's opinion, such a performance is already very good, but the head coach is still not satisfied, or Deputy Hu himself is not satisfied.

So the two of them hit it off and continued to practice.

"How else can it be said that Vice Hu was able to score three goals in the national competition in just half a year of contact with football?" Xia Xiaoyu said, "I want to go to see Deputy Hu's training, do you want to see it, Chen Rui?" ”

"Go, I'm fine anyway."

※※※

As soon as the two walked into the playground, they heard the head coach's voice: "Hurry up, don't slow down." If you're slow, I'll tell you, you'll hit the ground with your chin, and don't blame me if you're disfigured when the time comes...... But you kid can't be ruined......"

Then came the panting voice of their vice-captain: "Coach, don't say that...... Eighteen changes in the male college ......"

Then, Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui saw their vice-captain crawl past them in a very strange posture - his hands were bent to support his body, staggered forward, like a lizard, and his legs were held by the head coach in his hands, and he was being pushed forward.

"I'll ...... The old man's cart! Chen Rui blurted out his words.

He quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing, but neither the coach nor the vice-captain ignored him as if he hadn't heard him at all.

"Whew, it's dangerous......" Chen Rui patted his chest.

"What old man cart? This is training the strength of Hu's upper limbs. Xia Xiaoyu glanced at Chen Rui and explained.

The two of them stood in the shadows under the doorway at the entrance to the stadium, watching Hulai being pushed around the football field by the manager.

When the manager let go of his hand, Hulay lay motionless on the artificial turf, as if he were dead.

"It's a lot of training...... Xiaoyu, I sometimes wonder if our head coach has a grudge against Vice Hu, and he is called a ruthless ...... Remember what the manager said when we first came in? At that time, many people were so frightened that they retreated, but when it was time to train, when everyone saw Deputy Hu's treatment, many people were balanced in their hearts......" Chen Rui muttered as he looked at this scene.

"But it really works. I don't know what Vice President Hu was like when he was a freshman in high school, but I guess he was able to score three goals in the national competition, which must have something to do with this kind of training. Chen Rui, I suddenly have an idea, do you want to listen? Xia Xiaoyu looked at Hu Lai on the field and said.

"What thoughts?"

"Didn't the coach say that? The team's goal is the national competition, but I don't think it's going to be a round of the national competition, right? The coach's ambition will not be limited to matching the results of the last national competition. And if you want to perform better in the national competitions, you need to invest more in training. I think I can also come to school half an hour earlier in the morning like Vice Hu, and I don't have anything to do at noon anyway, so why can't I join the coach's special training? ”

Chen Rui looked at the best of the freshman team members with some surprise: "But Xiaoyu, you are already very powerful, there is no need, right?" ”

"Awesome? I don't think so. Xia Xiaoyu shook his head. Our goal is the national competition, and there must be stronger opponents in the national competition than the opponents in the Anton Cup, so if we stand still, how can we guarantee that we can beat the strong opponents in the national competition? So I think I should work hard to improve myself, and only in this way can I go to the national competition to ensure that I don't become that shortcoming. Do you want to come along? Come to school half an hour early every morning, and then use the lunch break to do special training. ”

Chen Rui was a little hesitant, after seeing Hu Lai's appearance, he was afraid of such training.

Seeing that Chen Rui didn't say anything, Xia Xiaoyu walked straight out of the shadows, walked towards the sunny football field, and walked towards the head coach.

"Tsk, forget it!" Seeing this, Chen Rui also chased out, and walked beside Xia Xiaoyu in three steps and two steps. "You can do it with this little body, so can I!"

Xia Xiaoyu looked at his midfield partner and laughed.

Then the two of them walked up to the manager together.

"Coach!"

Li Ziqiang looked at the two of them: "What's the matter?" ”

"Coach, we know that you are doing additional training for Deputy Hu, I want to apply to join, is that okay?" Xia Xiaoyu said.

Hu Lai, who turned over and was lying on the ground panting, heard Xia Xiaoyu say this, and was so shocked that he propped himself up with his arms and cast a surprised look at them - why did he take the initiative to find abuse these years?

"Why?" Li Ziqiang didn't show a surprised expression on his face, but asked.

"Because I want to work hard to improve myself so that I can perform better in the national competition, I don't want to just go to the national competition and see the world." Xia Xiaoyu said.

Li Ziqiang set his eyes on Chen Rui again, and the latter hurriedly nodded: "Me too, coach!" ”

"I think coaching you to teach Deputy Hu is also teaching, and teaching us is also teaching. I was also able to come to school half an hour early every day, and I didn't have to take a nap, so I can also use my lunch break for training, and I hope you agree, coach. ”

Chen Rui withdrew his gaze from looking at Xia Xiaoyu, turned to look at the head coach, and nodded: "Me too, coach!" ”

Li Ziqiang looked the two of them up and down.

It's not the first day he's been training for Hulai here, and it's been almost six months since March, in addition to the summer vacation. This is the first time that someone else in the team has offered to follow suit.

He asked, "Do you eat too much at noon?" ”

"Huh?" This time, even Xia Xiaoyu didn't react, and he didn't understand what the head coach meant by asking.

Chen Rui wondered if the coach was tactfully scolding them for "having enough to eat, and having nothing to do"?

Hulai, who had already sat up, explained to the head coach: "He is afraid that you will vomit out your lunch in a while, what a waste of food." ”

Hearing Deputy Hu say this, Chen Rui was frightened - it's just training, can you still practice vomiting? How much training is this?

But at this moment, he heard Xia Xiaoyu beside him say: "I haven't eaten much, coach, promise not to vomit!" ”

Chen Rui gritted his teeth: "Me too, coach!" ”
