Early in the morning of August 27, Du Ke found an HSBC bank to exchange 30,000 pounds in cash, and then left Hong Kong and returned to Nangang.

Hong Kong is very close to Nangang, less than a 2-hour drive, and Duke returned home at 12 noon.

Today is not a day off, his parents have gone to work, and he is alone at home. His dad was discharged from the hospital on the 15th, and the sports lottery center gave his dad a 1-month vacation, so that his dad could recuperate at home, but his dad couldn't stay idle, and he went back to work after two days of recuperation.

At 12:15, one person came back from home, and my mother returned.

The Nanyue Sports Bureau is not far from the sports community, and the government departments have a two-hour break at noon, and Director Ke Meihua usually takes a lunch break in the bureau for a while, she knows that Du Ke will be home at noon today, so she also uses the lunch break to go home and meet Du Ke.

The mother and son communicated with each other and made an analysis of the domestic and international situation, mainly because the mother was talking and Du Ke was listening, because the mother knew more about the domestic situation in recent days.

Du Ke learned from his mother that Director Qin and Director Zhou of the swimming front had arrived in Nangang yesterday, and they were eager to see themselves, and it was estimated that they would set things right and carry out criticism and self-criticism activities for themselves.

Director Wei and Director Zhu of the Cycling Front also arrived in Nangang yesterday, and they are also eager to have a meeting with Du Ke as soon as possible, and they hope that Du Ke can create new brilliance on the new stage.

As she spoke, my mother herself smiled: "Du Ke, you can really toss, the two centers, including the Chinese Swimming Association, the Provincial Swimming Association, the National Swimming Team, the Provincial Swimming Team, the Chinese Cycling Association, the National Cycling Team, and our Director Liang are all tossed by you." The leaders of the center can't find you, and the swimming team is anxious to hit the wall, and they are now looking for Director Liang, who is taking the blame for you. ”

Du Ke asked, "Mom, what do you think I should do to deal with this situation now?" ”

Mom: "Actually, what you want most is that the field management center is coming to you, right?" ”

Du Ke smiled: "Knowing the son is better than the mother, but unfortunately the last event of triathlon is a long-distance run, and in the last 10 kilometers, I have a lot of physical consumption, and I can't do the amazing result of the 10,000-meter run." ”

My mother seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure, and she said unhurriedly: "You just returned from Spain and told me your thoughts, I suggest that you don't go to shooting and archery yet, and you can try tennis and track and field." You have practiced these events before, if anyone doubts, you can check the historical archives, far-fetched can also give an explanation, but you also got the track and field second-level athlete certificate when you were in high school, several years have passed, and some progress is normal. ”

"As long as you can get results, do things that no one else can do, and don't get tested for doping, then whatever you explain is reasonable. If you want to impress the leaders and coaches of the track and field front, then you have to show them at least one beautiful result in one event. You rode a lap super high on the first lap of the cycling stage of the triathlon in the UK, so the cycling leader and the national team manager came to you, and that's it. ”

Duke nodded: "Well, so I need a chance to do good results in track and field." But how? I can't just go straight to the coach of the national track and field team. ”

Mom didn't answer this question directly, but asked, "So which track and field event do you want to focus on?" ”

Du Ke: "Running is the soul of track and field, and in many track and field events, running is the big and the majority. I think when I first get involved in athletics, I should still focus on running. "That is, he has two hidden stunts in running events, and of course he was mainly running in the beginning.

"Oh, that's fine." Mom nodded, and said: "You still have to participate in the swimming competition of the 12th National Games, the leaders above have greeted you, and you also know it, anyway, it's just a 200 frog." ”

Doucle: "Well, I'll attend. ”

The 12th National Games will be held in Shengjing City, Liaodong Province from August 31 to September 12, 2013, and the quadrennial National Games is regarded as the Olympic Games for Chinese, of course, the overall competitive level of the National Games and the Olympic Games cannot be compared, but the scale of the National Games is not small, and the number of major events set is more than the Summer Olympics.

Although the National Games is mainly based on the selection of reserve talents, it is also the largest and most top-level comprehensive sports event in China, and the national level attaches great importance to the National Games. Although the overall level of competition between the National Games and the Olympic Games is not at the same level, the level of the National Games is similar to that of the Olympic Games in a few events such as table tennis, badminton, weightlifting, and diving.

At the end of the World Swimming Championships, Director Qin greeted Du Ke, and he suggested that Du Ke choose one or two small swimming events to participate in the 12th National Games.

Director Qin and Du Ke actually don't care much about the champion of the National Games, and the reason why Director Qin suggested that Du Ke participate in one or two small National Games swimming competitions is because the people of the whole country need Du Ke and need Du Ke to perform a star show at our doorstep. It can be said that there is at least a grade between the swimming competition of the National Games in which Du Ke participated and the swimming competition without him.

Duke participated in the swimming competition of the National Games, which is actually an exhibition competition in the nature of returning home, so he chose to participate in a 200 frog competition at the National Games. He has not yet broken the world record of 200 frogs, and if he can break the world record of 200 frogs in front of the people of the whole country, even if his mission of returning home to the god of swimming has been successfully achieved, it will also be good for him.

My mother continued: "Duke Duke, although domestic swimming competitions are not attractive to you anymore, you also have to participate in several domestic top-level swimming competitions from time to time, why? Because you have to prove it to the leaders of the swimming center and the swimming team, you see, although I have been engaged in track and field or other sports, my swimming level has not declined. If you accidentally set a world record in a swimming event, no one will accuse you of anything. ”

"The leaders of the swimming front are now extremely opposed to you going to engage in other projects, you secretly went to the UK to win a triathlon championship, and the country has been turned upside down, it is said that Director Qin and Director Wei almost fought, Director Qin pointed at Director Wei's nose and scolded him wildly, Director Wei was so angry that he was about to draw his sword......"

Du Ke scratched his head: "These two center bosses have a really hot temper......"

My mother said: "What is the most worrying leader about swimming? They're worried that you're going to do other sports and won't swim from now on, so of course they can't accept it. However, your original intention is not to give up swimming, but to take care of other events when there is no international competition task for swimming, and once there is an international competition task, you will still respond to the call of the swimming team and contribute to the swimming front. ”

So in the essence of this matter, there is not an irreconcilable contradiction, what is missing is only timely and in-depth communication. Of course, you yourself have to bear more than half of the responsibility for the current situation, you don't say hello to anyone, and secretly go to the UK to participate in the triathlon competition, which leader will be anxious and even crooked. ”

"When the essence of the problem is solved, the swimming team will definitely say that even if you don't give up swimming, distraction from other sports will affect your swimming level. That's why I said earlier, you have to go to two domestic swimming competitions once in a while to prove that your swimming level is still at a high level. If you can do this, Director Qin will definitely feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he shouldn't strongly oppose it. ”

Du Ke: "I understand, this time the 200 frogs of the 12th Games, I strive to make a world record." At the National Swimming Championships in April next year, I will also show up and do a few beautiful results. Speaking of the 12th National Games, Mom, is there such a possibility, I signed up for 200 frogs at the same time, but also signed up for a few track and field events, can I operate? To make track and field achievements to the leaders of the track and field management center and the national track and field team, the 12th National Games is an opportunity, and in China, the National Games is very concerned. ”

My mother smiled: "Just now we had a family conversation between mother and son, and now, as a staff member of the Group Division of the Nanyue Sports Bureau, I can reply to you very responsibly, you signed up for the track and field event of the 12th National Games, and on behalf of the Nanyue Swimming Team and the Nanyue Athletics Team to participate in the two different major events of the 12th National Games, it is not my responsibility, and I can't help you." So, you can only go to Director Liang and see if he has any way. Time is very urgent, the 12th National Games will start in a few days, whether you can get Director Liang and the provincial track and field team in three days depends on your own ability.
