Chapter 24 Communication with my mother

Another major event occurred during the summer make-up period, that is, the 26th Olympic Games were held in Atlanta, USA from July 19th ~ August 4th.

The Chinese team won a total of 16 gold medals in this Olympic Games, ranking fourth in the gold medal table. During the period, the moment when the Chinese athletes won the championship on the competition field made the people of the whole country talk about it for a long time.

For example, Chinese weightlifter Zhan Xugang, who broke three world records in a row; Wang Junxia, the women's 5000m champion known as the "Oriental Divine Deer"; the new generation of "Diving Queen" Fu Minxia; Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui, Deng Yaping, and Qiao Hong, who have begun to dominate the men's and women's table tennis world; There is also the veteran Wang Yifu, who lost the gold medal in the last shot, and so on.

During this half-month, the whole country has been discussing the topic of the Olympics. Of course, as Guo Zizhao, who is determined to enter the Olympics in the future, how could he miss this opportunity to relive the Olympics. Therefore, for the Chinese team's games, especially the track and field competitions, Guo Zizhao watched them all over the time.

It's a pity that except for Wang Junxia's 5000m gold medal, there are no highlights in Chinese track and field. Although he had known this result for a long time, Guo Zizhao still felt a deep disappointment.

Well, the future of Chinese track and field will be left to me...... It's starting YY again.

……

The ambiguous relationship between Guo Zizhao and Zhang Xia has made a small improvement after Guo Zizhao gave the music box. Of course, it was only limited to saying a few whispers, which made Zhang Xia's sister red-faced. As for pulling a little hand or something, Guo Zizhao doesn't have the guts yet.

If the whisper is seen by everyone, it can also be justified, saying that it is discussing and learning. If Lala's little hand is discovered, then Guo Zizhao will face the bombardment of both parents. It's better to keep a low profile for now. After all, now that I am ready to become a professional athlete, I haven't had time to tell my mother in a hurry.

At the end of the make-up class on August 13, the third year of high school organized another monthly exam. In Guo Zizhao's memory in his previous life, he would come to such a monthly exam at the end of every month in the future, which was more punctual than the menstrual period of girls.

After two days of overtime marking by the teachers, the results and papers of the monthly exam were finally sent out at the end of the make-up class on the 15th. Don't forget to review carefully and fill in the gaps when you go home.

Guo Zizhao's results this time are also very good, and he has not regressed because of training and paying attention to his family's business, and he is still ranked ninth in the whole grade. Zhang Jian had been hanging his head for a month, and his academic performance returned to the top 30, which made him breathe a long sigh of relief.

Guo Zizhao's physical training has not relaxed during this time. Now the main focus is on speed gains and strength exercises. Ahead of the National Middle School Games at the end of the month, there should be no problem integrating the newly added attribute points.

However, Guo Zizhao also knew that it was time to discuss the agreement between himself and Uncle Li with his mother. After all, there are still two days before I and my father will go to Rongcheng to gather again, and I can't hide this matter at that time.

Therefore, after dinner, everyone sat together to enjoy the coolness, and while his mother was in a good mood these days, Guo Zizhao discussed with his mother.

"Mom, what school are you going to let me rely on for next year's college entrance examination?" Guo Zizhao pretended to ask casually.

"Any school. As long as it is a good school, you can find a good unit when you come out in the future. ”

"Mom....... you're too general. What makes a good school? You should always have a direction, right? Guo Zizhao asked cautiously.

"Then go to the teacher training exam, and it's not bad to be a teacher when you come out." It's not easy for someone like you and me to have three months off a year. My mother thought for a while, "If you don't go to medical school, it's not bad to come out and become a doctor." After graduation, you can go to the hospital or open a small outpatient clinic on your own. What are your thoughts? ”

"Mom, you're not bad." Guo Zizhao organized his thoughts and said slowly, "It's okay to be a teacher and a doctor." As a teacher, it's more leisurely, and the vacation is relatively long, but the salary level is average. If you can find a good school after graduation, it's okay, but if you can't find a good school and go back to the county or even to the township below to become a teacher, life will be a little hard. Moreover, if you want to be a teacher, you have to take a good major. You have to study the main subject to have a future, and if you don't get a good grade and get a sub-subject, you won't be taken seriously in school. Look at the old man, although he can be regarded as a bachelor's degree, no matter how good he is in physical education, he is not taken seriously in school. ”

"Well, you're right. You must choose a good major, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life. As the saying goes, men are afraid of doing the wrong thing, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Your old man is actually very capable, but he did the wrong thing. My mother also said with concern, "If your old man teaches Chinese or mathematics, there is no problem in becoming a teaching director now." ”

"Well, Mom, you're right. However, the income of being a teacher is still not high, and now everyone calls teachers poor teachers, and they can't get rich if they don't go hungry. Otherwise, how would you come out to do business? Both of you are teachers, and just by getting a dead salary, our family hasn't been tight all these years. ”

"Hmm...... Oh, yes. So you have to find a good school after graduation. There is no future for schools in counties or townships like me and you. ”

"It has to be related, it doesn't matter if you can't get into a good school. With so many students graduating every year, there are only a few good schools, and they all grab the head. Guo Zizhao continued, "And now the state will not include distribution from this year, and when you graduate, you have to find a unit by yourself, how to find it?" It's not about who has a relationship, it's okay to go to a bad unit. ”

Guo Zizhao's mother was also a little silent. Guo Zizhao also felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it, but in order to achieve his goal, Guo Zizhao still stubbornly said, "It's actually not bad to study medicine." After all, if you learn a craft, you won't be short of food at any time. However, the entrance examination for medical school is different from the examination for normal education, which can be tuition-free, while medical school is not tuition-free. In five years, the tuition fee will be 50,000 yuan. ”

Guo Zizhao took a sip of water and continued, "Not only will graduation be a year late, but there will also be certain risks in the future. If you accidentally prescribe the wrong medicine or misdiagnose a doctor, it will be difficult for the patient to make trouble. Now there is only one child in each family, and if something happens to the hospital, you will not have to lose a lot of money, and you will have to ruin your reputation. ”

Guo Zizhao silently thought that the doctor-patient relationship would become more and more intense in the future, and there were many reports of doctors being beaten, defendants, and even killed by patients' families.

My mother thought for a while and said, "You don't lack money to go to college, although our family was not rich before, but the money for school has always been saved for you." Besides, I've made some money in business in the past two years, and your tuition is still affordable. ”

"That's also mom, the money you earned by getting up early and being greedy late, and it's not easy. If we can save something, we can save it. How nice it would be to keep the two of you to improve your life in the future. Guo Zizhao also said with emotion.

……

"So what do you think? After all, this is related to your lifelong future, say it and we will help you check it. My mother also said meaningfully, "Don't say that you want to do sports like your old man?" ”

Guo Zizhao has been practicing track and field for most of the past six months, and his mother is also looking at it. Therefore, my mother is still worried that Guo Zizhao will be impulsive and take the old path of my father.

"What's wrong with sports? Didn't you watch the Olympics during this time? How about looking at the Olympic champions who have won glory for their country? Isn't that fame and fortune? That's not much more glorious than being an ordinary teacher! Guo Zizhao immediately retorted unconvinced.

"You have to be an Olympic champion, right? If you can be an Olympic champion, your mother and I will wake up laughing when we fall asleep. Mom said unceremoniously, "What level are you now, not to mention the national team, you can't even enter the provincial team!" If you can get into the national team, I won't stop you from practicing sports! ”

I'm waiting for your words!

Guo Zizhao was suddenly overjoyed and smiled happily.......

"What are you smirking about?" Mom looked at Guo Zizhao and asked inexplicably.

"Comrade Li Rong, it seems that you still don't know much about your son's level." Dad suddenly said very proudly at this time.

"What level? Do you two have something to hide from me? The mother also felt that it was not right, and looked at the two of them and asked suspiciously.

"Ahem...... Well, last time I went to Rongcheng to participate in the Provincial Youth Games. The son's grades were good, and later the national team called to find out about the situation and wanted to recruit his son into the national team. Dad said coaxingly. However, it was concealed that it was the national youth team that wanted to recruit his son, not the national team. However, the national youth team is also a national team.

"Ah......" Mom couldn't react. My son will be able to enter the national team? Deceptive, right?

"Ahem......" Guo Zizhao interrupted his father's cowhide and explained, "After the last game, Uncle Li told me that the national team wanted to recruit me. But I didn't agree to go for the time being. ”

"Why?" Mom is still confused.

"That's right. I don't think I'm good enough at the moment, and even if I get into the national team, I'm still a substitute. In addition, I also want to take the college entrance examination next year, after all, I have the identity of a college student, even if I retire in the future, it is a way out. Then Guo Zizhao said something selectively about the agreement between himself and Uncle Li.

Of course, Guo Zizhao did not say that he was only going to be affiliated with the Sports Commission, and he did not plan to enjoy the athlete's subsidy. After all, I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to understand it for a while and there will be extraneous branches.

After Guo Zizhao's explanation, my mother finally understood.

"So you're going to the National Middle School Games next week, and you're sure you'll be able to break the record?"

"Well, I've tested it these days, and it's no problem to meet the national athlete standard."

"The national team will definitely be able to take a fancy to you then?"

"Definitely going to see it. But I don't plan to go yet. One is that there is still a college entrance examination next year, and the other is that the Olympics have just ended, and there are no big competitions. I didn't have a chance to participate in the competition, so I still waited until the college entrance examination was over. ”

"Then you're going to go to the sports institute? And let Dean Li transfer your old man to the gymnasium? ”

"Yes. I'm sending him political achievements. Of course, he has to transfer the old man so that he can continue to be in charge of my training. ”

"Then don't consider going to other schools? You can be an athlete if you are admitted to other schools? ”

"Mom, here's the situation. You see, if I meet the standards of athletes in the competition this time, I will go to the province to register as an athlete of the provincial team, and then I will be admitted to the sports institute in the college entrance examination next year. When the time comes, he will become a member of the national team, and if he has made achievements, will it be considered Uncle Li's political achievements? After all, it was a student from his school who became a member of the national team. In this way, Uncle Li will take care of me wholeheartedly, and will transfer the old man to work in the sports institute. If I go to another school, it has nothing to do with Uncle Lee, why should he take care of me? ”

Guo Zizhao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Besides, since I have entered the national team, I will definitely retire in the future." At that time, with the qualifications of the national team, coupled with the bachelor's degree in physical education, and Uncle Li's care in the Provincial Sports Commission, isn't it normal to be assigned to work in the Provincial Sports Commission after retiring? Even if you can't get to the sports committee, you can go to the provincial team or something to be a coach. These are all iron rice bowls! If I go to another school, not to mention that I only train in sports, I will not be able to graduate. Even if you graduate, what should you do if you work after retirement? I'm not a sports major, and Uncle Li can't work hard to arrange a good job for him. Do I have to look for a job on my own? Don't you say? ”

Looking at the silent mother, Guo Zizhao knew that his mother's heart also agreed, but it was too sudden for a while, and he hadn't eased up. After all, Guo Zizhao's plan not only improved his father's job from a middle school teacher in the county town to a university teacher in the provincial capital, but also guaranteed his job after graduation. Provincial Sports Commission, that is the enviable iron rice bowl of this era!
