Saturday, 1 December 2001.

Early in the morning, Su Zu was pulled up by his mother Ye Qingmei to pack up and salute, and after Xie Caiwen visited the door twice in a row, Su Yuanhua and Ye Qingmei finally agreed to let Su Zu go to Jianping Sports School.

"Go to a sports school, go to a sports school, why are you in such a hurry?"

Ye Qingmei helped Su Zu sort out his clothes, and said in his mouth, obviously having a grudge against Su Zu for going to Jianping City in such a hurry.

Su Yuanhua stood at the door, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and didn't light it, he was also a little confused in his heart, so he had to comfort: "That Coach Xie said, now is the time when Su Zu is body is critical, you can't delay every day, if you miss a day, you can't make up for it in the future." ”

Ye Qingmei also knew in her heart that Su Zu had grown rapidly in the past half a year, and she was about the same height as her at the beginning of the year, but now she is half a head taller than her. It's just that the reluctance of a mother to see her children leave still makes her very sad.

"Otherwise, when the car comes, you can go and see it together, Jianping City, we have been there once more than ten years ago."

"Don't go. To go, you go. Ye Qingmei turned her head and said in a low voice, "I just can't bear it." ”

"I'm definitely going to go to the sports school to have a look, I can't be so unclear, I don't even know where my son will live in the future." Su Yuanhua clipped his ear and sighed lightly, "Don't worry, my son is older, and he has to go out." If you don't go to a sports school, you have to go to high school and college, and Jianping City is not far away, and it will take three or four hours by car to arrive, and we can also go to see him when we are free. ”

In front of the big willow tree outside the door of Su's house, Su Zu sat on the wooden pier under the willow tree in a daze, but he didn't expect that it would only be more than a month after he came back from this rebirth, and he would have to leave home again.

In fact, you can also choose not to go to the city sports school, there is a system in hand, only you have not slackened your training, and the attributes are improved, and you can naturally produce good results.

It's just that if you really want to take the road of sports competition, it's a pity to miss such an opportunity.

And with the improvement of various attribute points, Su Zu has clearly felt that his understanding of competitive sports is too shallow, and if there is no special person to guide the training, it is easy for him to deviate from practice. If you accidentally get hurt, it's not worth it.

Besides, next year will be the high school entrance examination, and if he wants to put down his mind to study, it will be difficult to adjust his mentality, let alone three years of high school in the future.

The dream of youth, the flower that never withers......

Since you have decided to chase a dream that you have not been able to achieve, of course, the sooner the better. Such a simple, pure, and hard work for the ideal is what many people dream of.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, the car that picked up Su Zu arrived at the door. Having made two U-turns, Zheng Wei, the assistant coach who was driving, didn't make much effort.

Originally, Su Zu needed to go to the sports school to report, but Xie Caiwen didn't know what to think, maybe he loved it, or he was afraid of encountering Su Zu's parents' sudden change, so he simply asked someone to drive to pick him up.

Zheng Wei, the assistant coach who drove the car, felt that it was too exaggerated, this talent level was good, but recruiting a student would not be able to do this. It's a pity that the leader opened his mouth and broke his leg below. In order to pick up people and transfer procedures, he arrived in Wuxing County a few days in advance.

Such an emphasis really made Su Yuanhua feel a lot more at ease. After all, going to a sports school is also a school, and being able to send a car to pick it up is already grand enough.

Su Zu and Ye Qingmei finally said goodbye, dragged their luggage and got into the car with Su Yuanhua.

All the way from the township road and county road, and then to the national highway, I drove for more than three hours and entered the urban area of Jianping City. Then I drove around the city for more than ten minutes before finally arriving at Jianping Sports School.

Along the way, assistant coach Zheng Wei basically introduced the situation of the sports school to the two.

Jianping Sports School is approved by the Provincial Department of Higher Education, and it is also the only secondary vocational school in Jianping City that carries out systematic competitive sports training and cultural and physical education. It has established a step-by-step "integration of sports and education" lesson model covering technical secondary schools, middle schools and primary schools, and is a municipal, provincial and national high-level sports reserve talent base.

After entering the school, Zheng Wei introduced the school's stadium buildings to Su Zu and Su Yuanhua all the way, where is the student dormitory, where is the training ground, where is the gym, and the school canteen and the like.

Su Zu is okay, he has experienced high school and college, and the conditions of this sports school, he seems to be ordinary. Su Yuanhua was a little eye-opener, and exclaimed a few words from time to time, this school is really big.

When passing by the track and field training ground, you can also see many children of all sizes training. There are also people who sit in pairs and in twos and dwellings under the shade trees on the side and play in the lawn.

Because it is a weekend, some registration procedures still have to be handled on weekdays, but the dormitory has already been arranged in advance.

Zheng Wei led the two into the student dormitory, the dormitory building has six floors, it can be seen that it has just been built for less than two years, and the brick walls are quite new.

Su Zu's dormitory was assigned to a two-person room on the sixth floor, the kind with a bathroom, and generally ordinary students lived in eight-person or four-person rooms. This kind of two-person room is basically for students who have achieved certain grades, but Su Zu transferred halfway, and those dormitories couldn't vacate beds for a while, plus Xie Caiwen's attention, so he arranged it directly.

"Who's in this room?" Su Yuanhua looked at the conditions of the dormitory, it was really good, and asked about the roommate who lived with Su Zu.

"It's a kid who practices long-distance running, and I went to the province for training some time ago, and I don't know if I'll come back. This room was arranged by Coach Xie. ”

This kind of sports school athletes follow to the provincial team for training, which is generally recommended by the sports school, or is favored by the provincial team coach, and follows to train and observe, but in the end, whether they can stay depends on the performance of the players themselves.

From Zheng Wei's mouth, Su Zu also learned that Xie Caiwen is not only the head coach of the track and field team, but also in charge of the sports training department, and recruitment, training, scientific research, transportation, competitions, coach assessment, base construction, etc. are all within the scope of his work. He personally went out to recruit students, and no one would have any objections to enjoying some special treatment.

Zheng Wei, the assistant coach, was made by Xie Caiwen to turn around, and he was still in a mess.

At noon, Xie Caiwen, the head coach of the track and field team, appeared at the door of the dormitory.

Xie Caiwen heard that the parents were also coming, so in order to show his attention, he came from the office to have lunch with them in the cafeteria.

Probably because of the weekend, the huge cafeteria seemed a little empty, there were not too many people, only some students who boarded and did not go home.

The food in the canteen of Jianping Sports School is good, large pieces of chicken, fish stewed pork ribs and soup, etc., and the canteen master can also make it if you want to eat pasta and stir-fry vegetables alone, but this depends on how much money is spent and the level of status.

As for the first-class stove, the second-class stove, the champion stove or something, Su Zu couldn't see it for a while when he first arrived at the sports school.

"Brother Su, and Su Zu, you see that the food in our canteen is still good, you can order whatever you want, just one request, you have to finish eating."

Standing in front of the window of the cafeteria, Xie Caiwen said happily to Su Yuanhua and Su Zu. This meal was swiped with his card, in order to let Su Yuanhua and Su Zu see the usual food, and there was no such thing as stir-frying vegetables and opening a small stove alone.

"Thank you so much Coach Xie, I will entrust this kid to you in the future. Su Zu, he belongs to the wooden fish, knock it once, you should beat, you should scold. So far, Su Yuanhua is very satisfied with Xie Caiwen's arrangement.

"Brother Su, if you put a hundred hearts, I will definitely be optimistic about Su Zu. You and Sister-in-law Su can often come to our sports school to see him when you have time. ”

Su Zu didn't pay attention to what the two were talking about, smelling the smell of meat, to be honest, he was a little greedy. I asked for a big pot of rice with the canteen master, there were a lot of meat and vegetables, and the whole rice bowl was almost spiky.

He used to eat enough, but since this month, he has exercised a lot, and his body's attribute value has improved, and the amount of food has doubled compared to before.

At the dinner table, Su Yuanhua looked at Su Zu's eating like he was eating, and couldn't help laughing, if he didn't farm at home, the rice tube would be enough, and he wouldn't be able to raise this big-bellied man alone.

Xie Caiwen didn't care, and smiled, "Su Zu's amount of food is average, and those who practice sports are all pot-bellied men." I'm still growing my body, so I have to eat more. ”

Ordinary people can't be completely at the same level as athletes.

Later news reported that there was a basketball player in the national team who used to eat fritters in a basin. Ordinary people may not be able to consume two thousand calories a day, and athletes are at least four or five thousand upwards. The American flying fish Phelps exposed the meal, the daily energy intake is tens of thousands of calories, and the amount of food is five or six times that of the average person.

After having lunch in the cafeteria, Su Yuanhua followed Su Zu to his dormitory to tidy up his things, and prepared to go back to Wuxing County.

"You are in a sports school, you have to study hard, train hard, this path is your own choice, you have to work hard."

Su Yuanhua sighed silently, no matter how you can see it, the first time a child leaves his parents' life, he always can't put his mind at ease.

"I talked to a few of my former comrades-in-arms on the phone and learned about the situation, and they all told me that it is better to be talented and take the road of sports than to study honestly. In the future, I will have the opportunity to be a teacher, a coach or something. If you have good grades, you may also work in the government department. ”

"Be careful when you're training on your own and don't get hurt. Be polite when getting along with others, don't conflict with classmates, but don't suffer from being bullied. You don't have to be afraid of them, you can find the coach of your school if you have something. ”

Su Yuanhua instructed impatiently, as if he was eager to teach Su Zu all his life experience.

At the end, he hesitated for a moment, "I want to ...... If it's really hard, come back and continue studying, and if we can't keep up with the progress, we will make up for a year. ”

"Don't worry, Dad, I know."

Su Zu nodded solemnly, his heart was extremely warm, but he couldn't do anything like hugging.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Su Yuanhua was ready to set off, and before going out, he took out another three thousand yuan from the pocket of the inner layer of his jacket and stuffed it into Su Zu's hand.

"You can put away the three thousand yuan, save some flowers, if it's not enough, call Lao Li Tou's house, he will call me to pick it up."

Su Zu's nose was slightly sour, and he also knew the conditions of the family at this time, which was almost all the living money that the family could take out. For a moment, Su Zu wondered if he had made a mistake in choosing the path of sports.

In the past and present lives, my parents never asked for anything in return, but just stood silently behind them to support.

After sending his father Su Yuanhua away, Su Zu went back to the dormitory to rest for a while, and when he had lunch at noon, Xie Caiwen had already said that at half past two in the afternoon, he would start training with the sprint team.

Su Zu understood that his sports school life had begun.
