Chapter 58: A Father's Responsibility

The physical labor brigade receives a large amount of food subsidies every year, so the canteen is not only good and cheap, but also very rich. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSometimes it's almost like a chef serving a dish, and you can get an extra spoonful of food.

Originally, the restaurant of the sports brigade was all free, and the meat dishes were limited to vegetarian dishes and unlimited rice, but later in order to eliminate waste, it was changed to a fee, but the price of the dishes was very low, only one-fifth of the outside. In addition, athletes and coaches will have a meal subsidy every month, which will be paid directly to the meal card, and basically no money will be spent. So even those coaches who have families will have dinner in the cafeteria and then go home.

Jiang Aiguo and Li Dai made face to face at the same table. When the other coaches of the weightlifting team saw this scene, they secretly screamed in surprise.

"I'm not mistaken, that newcomer Xiao Li actually had dinner with Jiang Aiguo?"

"This Li Dai is a bit evil, it's only been a day, and he can get along with Jiang Aiguo, you must know that Jiang Aiguo is notoriously smelly and hard-tempered."

"I heard that this Li Dai offended Ma Guangyi, so he was arranged to partner with Jiang Aiguo, Ma Guangyi probably wanted to use Jiang Aiguo's stinky temper to repair Li Dai, it seems that this trick is ineffective."

In the distance, the coaches of several weightlifting teams whispered, but Li Dai took the initiative to talk to Jiang Aiguo.

"Brother Jiang, when I gave you a massage, I found that your muscles were stiff and tight, this should be a sign of muscle overload, you should feel it when you usually train...... Well, it's a little uncomfortable, right? Li Dai asked.

"Uncomfortable? Hehe, you just said that you would feel muscle pain. Jiang Aiguo was very direct, he didn't hide anything: "I know that my current physical condition is very bad. ”

Jiang Aiguo stopped his chopsticks as he spoke, the sadness in his eyes flashed, he calmed down his emotions, and then said: "I went to the doctor last year, and the doctor told me that because of years of uninterrupted training, my body has not been rested, and in fact, it is already in a state of muscle overload, and if I continue to engage in such high-intensity training, there is a chance that I will be injured." ”

"What did the doctor say should be done?" Li Dai asked.

"The first way is to reduce the amount of training so that the muscles can slowly repair themselves; The second way is to take a break from training and rest for three months to give your body a little relief. Jiang Aiguo said.

"You didn't listen to the doctor, did you?" Li Dai then asked.

"Yes, it's impossible for me to reduce my training volume, let alone take a three-month break. The weightlifting team is so competitive, and I'm all my age, once I rest, there is no place for me here. So whether it's reducing training or taking a three-month break, it's like retiring me. But I can't retire yet! Jiang Aiguo's eyes were unusually firm.

When a weightlifter reaches the age of 32, it is indeed time to retire, and Li Dai feels that there is nothing wrong with Jiang Aiguo retiring now. But Li Dai also found that Jiang Aiguo used the word "can't" instead of "don't want to", which shows that Jiang Aiguo has a reason why he can't retire.

I only heard Jiang Aiguo continue: "This year is my 14th year as an athlete, and next year will be the 15th year. As long as I can survive next year, I can get tens of thousands of more retirement fees. ”

"For money? But you should know that your current body may be injured at any time, and in order to earn these tens of thousands of dollars, you may spend the rest of your life in endless pain, even disability and paralysis, is it worth it? Li Dai's tone became stern.

"Of course it's worth it!" Jiang Aiguo smiled, but in Li Dai's opinion, this smile contained more but a kind of helplessness, or helplessness!

Jiang Aiguo took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a photo from it, and handed it to Li Dai. There are three people in the photo, Jiang Aiguo, a woman, and a little girl who looks to be just over a year old. This is a family photo of Jiang Aiguo.

"This is my sister-in-law and niece, right?" Li Dai asked.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law, and my daughter." Speaking of his daughter, Jiang Aiguo's eyes could not suppress a glimmer of hope, and he only heard him speak: "My daughter has a hard life, congenital incomplete second-degree unilateral cleft lip, and when she was three months old, she had a repair operation. ”

Li Dai looked at the photo and said, "She looks like she's recovering well." ”

"The recovery was good, but it was only the first surgery. The treatment of cleft lip and palate requires many surgeries, and my daughter needs another repair surgery before she is 5 years old; When I was 11 years old, my new tooth was almost long, and I had to undergo a third restoration operation; When I was 18 years old, I had my last plastic surgery. The next few times, each time it costs more money than the first, especially the last plastic repair surgery, if you want to do some well, you have to spend hundreds of thousands. As athletes, we have no other skills, and we can't save much money in our lives, so we are counting on this severance pay for retirement. ”

Jiang Aiguo said with a long sigh: "If my family is a boy, the operation can be done casually, so that the mouth does not leak, but my family is a girl, and I have to find a good in-law for her in the future, so the plastic surgery and repair surgery cannot be sloppy." I have to let my daughter marry beautifully! ”

"That's why you insist on this kind of high-intensity training every day, just hoping to last until 15 years, get more retirement compensation, and treat your daughter?" Li Dai asked.

Jiang Aiguo nodded: "In fact, after training every day, the pain caused by muscle overload makes me unbearable, and many times I lie in bed and can't get up in pain." But think about my daughter, I persevered. When I was training this year, I already felt a lot of pain in my right arm and shoulder, but fortunately you massaged me twice, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to lift chopsticks when I ate. ”

Li Dai looked at Jiang Aiguo, and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart, a father, in order to raise surgery fees for his daughter, is willing to endure pain every day, carry out high-intensity training, and is likely to cause serious injuries. This kind of selfless sacrifice can be done by anyone but as a parent.

"I really can't imagine it, this Jiang Aiguo looks indifferent on the surface, he is not polite to people at all, and his temper is not very good, but the real him is such a great father, no matter what, he deserves my respect." Li Dai took a deep breath, he had decided to help Jiang Aiguo with all his might.

"My relaxation massage can help Jiang Aiguo relax his muscles to the greatest extent, even after he has undergone high-intensity training, the relaxation massage can quickly restore his muscles to the best state, and even delayed muscle soreness will not occur, let alone muscle overload. In this case, if Jiang Aiguo continues to maintain this kind of high-intensity training, he should not be injured. He said there was hope that he would last until 15 years before retiring."

Thinking of this, Li Dai opened his mouth and said: "Brother Jiang, if you think my massage is okay, I will press it for you every day in the future!" ”

"Thank you!"

Jiang Aiguo just said two words, but these two simple words made Li Dai feel Jiang Aiguo's sincere gratitude from the heart.
