Chapter 41: A Dragon or a Worm?
In the middle of summer in July, the first day of summer vacation.
The fog of the early morning shrouded the entire Zichuan, the sky was gray and gray, the heat was grinding, many people were dreaming of stability in the air-conditioned room, far away in a dilapidated community in the west of the city, Jun Hao woke up from the wet quilt, he got out of bed neatly, and tiptoed open the door.
The living room is not big, there are two yellowed sofas, and the door opposite is half-hidden, black hole, Jun Hao secretly glanced at a few times, and found that everything was normal, so he gently came to the bathroom for a simple freshening.
A few minutes later, Jun Hao pushed open the door and walked out.
Xiangyang Community, is the name of this old community, there is an abandoned small park in the northeast of the community, and there is a dilapidated basketball court in one corner of the park.
Today, it is the secret garden of the Five Smalls.
In the sweltering early morning, Jun Hao and others came one after another, with the late arrival of the elephants, all the members of the five primary schools arrived, Jun Hao was still a little silent, and after glancing at everyone, the first one ran out of the court.
Not far outside the stadium, there is a river that shuttles through it, and now the banks of the river have been transformed into a green belt of river embankment for people to take a leisurely stroll.
At this time, there was silence on both sides of the riverbank, and from time to time there was a sound of footsteps, like a clear stream, bringing a gust of fresh wind in the frozen air.
The sky was white, and at this time, there were already many figures on the banks of the river for several kilometers, and people who got up early joined the running team for morning exercises.
By the stream, under the willows.
The five little ones were dripping with sweat and sat on the stone bench gasping for breath.
In an hour, each of them completed at least three kilometers of long-distance running, like twin brothers, physical fitness experts here at the dock, even completed four kilometers, and the thinnest Jun Hao completed five kilometers for the first time, which is equivalent to running 12.5 laps around the playground.
The undulating chest, the sweat dripping like rain, and the persistence in Jun Hao's eyes were moving.
He is not the fastest runner, not the one with the best strength, not the one who talks the most, and not the most ferocious one, but he is definitely the hardest working one, the most persistent, and the most persevering one, this is Jun Hao, a real child king who can make the other four be willing to follow.
There is no extraordinary talent, no proud capital, and some are ordinary efforts and sweat, watering their own future with sweat.
Is it a dragon or a worm?
Jun Hao, who was young, understood the sad truth of not waiting for the white head, fate is in his own hands, and he may not become a dragon if he works hard, but if he doesn't work hard, he must only be an insect.
Ten minutes later, Wuxiao took another step until the sun rose, and then finished his morning exercise and returned to the dilapidated court.
They are waiting, waiting for Yao Mo to appear, and they are also looking forward to him being able to give them basketball guidance.
On the first day, they were disappointed that Yao Mo did not show up, so they could only pick up the hidden basketball from the grass and begin to familiarize themselves with the ball without guidance.
The ball, it's still the same ball, it still feels very rusty, whether it's dribbling or shooting, it's always the separation of people and the ball, and they're too far behind their opponents of the same age.
The foundation is not an overnight thing, especially the technical ones, which require a long time of study and polishing.
On the first day of the summer vacation, many children were silent in all kinds of fun or all kinds of tutoring, but the fifth elementary school opened a new mode, which is also a masochistic mode, except for eating and resting, basically putting all the time on the court. Under the scorching sun, in the scorching heat, I saw five tough little guys, running on the court, repeating the same action, boring, meticulous attitude.
For a few days, the five elementary schools basically spent their time like this, going out early for a morning run, going back to the court after running and having breakfast, and began to practice jerky dribbling and shooting, and after lunch at noon, when the sun was fierce, they appeared on the court again, and did not go back until the evening.
A basketball, five people are practicing, while a dribble and shoot, several other people are not idle, defense, card position, and the actions used in the game have also begun to practice.
The whole day was basically soaked in the court, as if I was obsessed.
Time passed day by day, and Yao Mo, who was waiting, never appeared, as if he had completely forgotten this place and forgot about Wuxiao.
"Will he ever come back?"
It's already the fifth day, and Wuxiao doesn't have much hope in his heart.
"I knew he was a liar, and he would lie to us kids!" The elephant spoke angrily, and his little fleshy face was full of disappointment.
"Did he think we weren't good when we lost the game, so he didn't come to coach us again?" Ki Tsai pouted and said the same dejected words.
Counting the previous ones, Yao Mo has not appeared for seven days, and during these seven days, the five elementary schools arrived on time every day, without Yao Mo's guidance and supervision, they still practiced very consciously, but the practice without guidance was not effective.
"He'll come, he just didn't make it to come."
At this time, Jun Hao came out to comfort everyone, he couldn't affect everyone because Yao Mo was not there for the time being, he knew that it was not good.
"Even if Yao Mo is gone, we shouldn't be discouraged. My dad told me before that the road is to walk by yourself, and someone may take you to walk for a while, but it is impossible that because the person who took you away has left, you will not dare to go, if you want to take a good road, first you have to have the confidence to walk it well. When he said this, Jun Hao's voice was a little choked.
"General, didn't your father ...... last year?"
The elephant suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said, and several people fell silent.
"Everyone has their own choice, it doesn't matter what path you take, the important thing is that you are not happy? Do you have the confidence to keep going? Jun Hao's eyes were slightly condensed, looking at his brothers, "Basketball, we chose it together, do you have the confidence to fight with me to the end?" ”
The other four children almost blurted out without thinking: "Yes!" ”
"Good!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Wu Xiao, it was him, Yao Mo came back.
These days, Yao Mo didn't go far at all, but hid not far away and silently watched Wuxiao's moves, he wanted to see how Wuxiao faced failure, was it more and more frustrated or collapsed?
Five days has explained a lot, tenacity, hard work, perseverance, and five small actions explain everything.
"Children who are only seven or eight years old perform better than many adults......" Yao Mo looked at the five little ones in front of him who had tanned a lot, and his heart was not calm.
"You ......"
A few little guys looked shocked, looking at Yao Mo, who was holding a bag of unknown things in front of them, and blinked vigorously, which was too unexpected for them. However, the little emotions of the five little ones also exploded at this moment.
"Up!"
Jun Hao gave an order, and the five people immediately pounced on it, hanging on Yao Mo's body like kangaroos, and Yao Mo, who was overwhelmed, was suddenly crushed to the ground.
"That's how you welcomed me, huh?" Yao Mo let out a sad cry, but a burst of warmth rose in his heart, from strangeness to today's trust, he was recognized.
Long.
Yao Mo withdrew from the special welcome, picked up the bag and shook it in front of Wuxiao, and said, "Look at what I brought you?" ”
When the bag opened, there were Musou shoes of one style, as well as two pairs of stockings each.
