Inside the old building not far from the arena. +++ Popular Tanmei Novels:

The exterior of the thirty-odd years old house was covered with moss and

rattan, the stairs were dim, the damp walls were covered with various

advertisements, and the simple yellow light bulbs flashed and sizzled.

Ji Huai took out the key and opened the rusty iron door. The corroded wooden

door inside had faded.

It had just rained in the morning, and it was on the second floor, and the

concrete floor was so damp that there was a layer of water. The room is one

bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, the light is dark, and

the lights must be turned on during the day.

There is no air-conditioning in the room, and it is hot enough to soak the

clothes after a sleep. It is also very cold in winter.

There is nothing in an old house, but the price is cheap. It only needs two

hundred and two rent, and there is a small balcony at the back, but it will

not be exposed to the sun.

Chen Xiuman in the kitchen heard the sound and turned the fire down and walked

out, "I'm back? The meal will be ready soon, wait a minute."

"Yeah." Ji Huai nodded and looked around the narrow living room. The only new

thing was a desk, which was bought by Chen Xiuman three years ago for 110

yuan.

The stairs were narrow and it was difficult to move up. The transporter asked

for an extra fifteen yuan. For the fifteen yuan, the two mothers and children

moved together. They accidentally knocked on Chen Xiuman’s toes, lost a piece

of meat, and flattened it. A little table corner.

She didn't feel sorry for her injury and bleeding, instead she felt sorry for

the new desk. This scene has been remembered in his heart for many, many

years.

Just like later, the other party got cancer and didn't ask the doctor about

the treatment plan, and wanted to get rid of it by himself.

Poverty makes life worthless.

Chen Xiuman came out carrying the food, Ji Huai also got up to get a bowl of

rice.

"I also boiled seaweed soup today. Drink more later." She said to her son.

Ji Huai: "Yeah."

Chen Xiuman took over his son Sheng's meal and looked at the big boy, feeling

a little relieved, "Eat more bitter gourd and pig liver."

He nodded, put a piece of pig liver in her bowl first, and held the bowl to

eat.

The two mothers and sons were eating, but Jihuai spoke less, and Chen Xiuman

was talking, "I bought a lot of vegetables today, which are cheaper than

usual. I also bought bananas. After dinner, you eat a few more for only 50

cents per catty. You can buy a bag for a few dollars."

"Why is it so cheap?" Ji Huai raised his head to answer.

"There is a city management these days." She explained while eating. "It was

all the villagers nearby who picked them out to sell. I only wanted to buy two

catties. I thought it was too small, so I bought more."

Ji Huai: "Buying too much can't finish eating, it's a waste of money."

Who has no sympathy? But they are all poor.

Chen Xiuman's current salary is only two thousand yuan. A college student

earns only two thousand yuan, lives in a damp and gloomy old building, pulling

her oil bottle son with difficulty and embarrassment.

She married Ji Bo a few years earlier and gave birth to him. She got pregnant

by accident and got married after graduation. The burden of life hit her,

leaving two couples who were unable to resist pressure to face collapse, their

relationship broke up, and their marriage ended.

No face to go back to drag her natal family, a man dragged her son. This job

originally only had a salary of 1,500, but I was able to take him with him at

all times.

After several years of marriage and divorce, Chen Xiuman lost the ability to

adapt to society, and he did not dare to take that step. After dragging on for

several years, he is now even more timid and afraid of things, only to be able

to raise him.

Because of too much worry, although the other party is only 35 years old, he

is much older than his peers. There are several fine lines on the corners of

his eyes. Gray hair began to appear at the age of 45, and his head became gray

at the age of 50, and he did not live to retire. age.

As for Ji Bo, Chen Xiuman didn't feel much better. He went back to bite the

old in a daze, spent his life in ruins, and later divorced twice and died

alone.

Ji Huai recalled that his chopsticks became tighter and his fingertips turned

white.

"Mom talking to you, what are you thinking about?" Chen Xiuman's words brought

his thoughts back.

Ji Huai didn't show much expression on his face either, "I didn't think about

anything."

She didn’t think too much, and she said her plan, “It’s too hot, and sleeping

in the living room is even hotter. Mom will buy you a small air conditioner

tomorrow. There will be cold wind when it is turned on. I heard that it’s only

two or three hundred yuan apiece. Can blow."

In the past, the two mothers and sons slept in the same room with two small

beds. Now the son is unwilling to share the same room with her and sleeps on

the sofa in the living room with the quilt.

She knows how to avoid her mother.

Fortunately, there is also a living room in their house. The old Li's house

not far from the community rents a small single room of 20 square meters, a

small toilet, and the kitchen is next to the toilet.

Half of the room is equipped with a bunk bunk. The couple slept on the lower

bunk, and the son slept on the upper bunk. The remaining half of the space was

used for walking. I bought a shrinkable table and put it away after eating.

The family was surrounded by three. I was squeezed to eat.

This situation continued until his son graduated from college and worked. He

turned 28 last year and married a wife. The couple bought a second-hand small

house for the young couple with the money they had saved for most of their

lives. This situation was resolved.

"It consumes electricity and is not practical. It breaks after a few times of

use. I am not hot." Ji Huai said, continuing to cook rice.

When a child from a poor family buys things, the first consideration is the

price. Going to a better place is afraid that he can't afford it. In order to

save money, he will do everything he can, and even feel that he is unworthy.

This kind of thinking followed him for many, many years, creating another

tragedy in his life, especially emotionally, betraying a person who loves him,

dragging herself down and dragging her down, and neither of them can die well.

"So it's easy to break?" Chen Xiuman murmured a few times, without saying

anything, thinking that there are other cheap appliances that can relieve the

heat.

After eating, Ji Huai drank a bowl of soup, picked up the bowl and chopsticks

and walked to the kitchen.

The tiles in the kitchen are all old. No matter how much Chen Xiuman loves to

be clean, no matter how he cleans it, it still looks a little messy and

broken.

"Mom washed the clothes for you. It smells like sweat." Chen Xiuman picked up

the clothes he had changed, and as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Huai

walked over and took the clothes over. "I washed it myself, by the way. bath."

At this time, it was mid-July, the toilet was sultry like a stove, and the

water coming out of the faucet was warm. If you wash your clothes after taking

a shower, you will be tired and sweaty again.

Ji Huai washed the clothes before taking a bath. He has been able to be

independent since he was a child, and has been in the national team for so

many years. He pays attention to efficiency and moves quickly.

afternoon.

Chen Xiuman takes a nap. Generally speaking, he can sleep until two o'clock in

the afternoon. However, after one o'clock, there are phone calls one after

another. Many people start to book venues, otherwise they are afraid that

there will be no venues at night.

From afternoon to evening, Chen Xiuman stays in the badminton hall. Work is

very idle, watching people play in the hall, selling water and badminton and

so on.

I won’t come back for dinner, so I will leave a part of the meal cooked in the

morning and take it with him. Sometimes they would give him a few dollars to

eat a bowl of noodles or a bowl of fried noodles, and the mother and son have

just made it through these years.

Soon after Chen Xiuman left, Ji Huai started self-training at home.

There was no training equipment at home, so he took the clothes rail and put

it on his shoulders to do a set of stretches. After warming up, he started

training.

The training method can choose sit-ups, planks, and back and forth on tiptoes.

Self-training fights for perseverance, endurance and perseverance. This body

is far from the physical conditions that athletes possess. Professional sports

players have been training since they were four or five years old. He did

systematic training only a few years later. This is a big factor if he doesn't

go far.

The physical fitness is too weak, the muscles are tight, and the pain is

doubled. Ji Huai gritted his teeth, his hands on the ground violently

violently, his face flushed, sweating like rain.

However, his immature face was firm, but his eyes were thorough. He looked at

a fixed point in front of him and never dodged.

Chen Xiuman came back at night after ten o'clock, and Ji Huai brought a bowl

of noodles out of the kitchen and put it on the dining table, "I have cooked

the noodles, and you can eat some too."

"Have you dragged the floor?" Chen Xiuman put her bag aside and asked while

looking at the floor.

Ji Huai: "The ground is too dirty, so I can drag it by the way."

He left a lot of sweat during training in the afternoon, all sweat stains.

Chen Xiuman's mouth squirmed a few times, but finally changed his mouth,

sighed and said, "You don't need to do these tasks."

At other children's carefree age, he followed her to seek life. Although she

had no complaints or regrets, she suffered the child after all.

When Ji Huai heard these words, he was not as silent as before. Instead, his

tone was relaxed.

After he finished speaking, he took the quilt and walked to the sofa, lying on

it to sleep.

He must go to bed before eleven o'clock, and bad rest will affect training and

body.

Chen Xiuman let go, and Ji Huai said to her before going to bed, "I will get

up early to go to the badminton hall tomorrow. You don't have to go in the

morning."

"Is anyone coming to play?" Chen Xiuman asked.

Ji Huai: "No, I play it myself. Next month, there will be a youth city-level

badminton competition. I want to participate."

He was sensible when he was a child, and Chen Xiuman didn't ask much, put the

key of the arena on the table, and encouraged, "It's okay to go for fun and

exercise more."

She said that she also gave him twenty yuan to remind him to remember to eat

breakfast.

The next day.

Just after six o'clock, Ji Huai opened his eyes and stood up, folded the

quilt, and started to wash.

After the exercise yesterday, although I did some relaxation, my muscles were

still sore and swollen, and the movements of bending and squatting were

difficult to complete.

Leaning back on him, it's fatal.

Ji Huai was brushing his teeth, his body was as if he had been disassembled,

his teeth grinning with discomfort, inertia continued to emerge, and the brain

protection mechanism rose.

He took two breaths, shook his head and shook his thoughts away, brushing his

teeth and washing his face as fast as he could to go out.

After warming up, you start to enter the training stage. The equipment in the

badminton hall can also be used. You can use skipping rope to do full-body

exercises. Not only can you practice your jumping ability, you can also

practice the strength of ankles, legs, arms and wrists, as well as endurance

and reaction capabilities. Will help.

There is also a long-distance running, ten laps around the edge of the

badminton arena, and after adjustment, you will practice your pace with a

racket.

He was the only one moving back and forth in the huge badminton hall, and the

gasping sound seemed to still be echoing.

Do your best in every training, break through the limits of your body in every

training. He wanted to try, this time, how far he could go.

"Wave your arm and buckle down."

"The action is similar to a high ball."

"Swing arms quickly. This ball won't work, take another one."

Hu Yarong was teaching a fat student again, and the flesh on his opponent

trembles when he ran.

The fat students are scattered, and the coach is full of breath, but it is

difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of the students.

"The arm is sore, it won't work." The fat student wiped the sweat from his

face, and then started shaking his head to give up.

"There are two more groups." Hu Yarong persuaded.

"No." The fat man dropped his racket again. "It's almost done. I'm not a

professional."

"There are still eight minutes to finish class, and another group." Hu Yarong

took the ball and was about to hit him, but the other side refused to play

again.

Helpless, he raised his hand to check the time, walked over to fetch water for

the opponent, Yu Guang saw that Ji Huai was doing plank support in the

distance, and his posture was standard. It was estimated that he held it for

more than two minutes. This is already the second group.

The fat student was drinking water and followed his sight, with a look of

envious expression, "He was exercising when I came, and he is still exercising

now, his physical fitness is really good."

When he was in class two days ago, he also caught the boy running. After half

a class, he exercised half a class.

"It's not because of good physical fitness, but high perseverance. The body is

already shaking." Hu Yarong kept staring at Ji Huai. The other party was

trembling. He was still holding on, holding his chest and abdomen, his posture

was still standard, and his sweat kept going down. drop.

Just after he finished speaking, Ji Huai couldn't hold it anymore, slowly

lying on the ground, closing his eyes to adjust his breath, and gasping for

breath.

"It's nice to be young," the fat student said with emotion.

Hu Yarong smiled and did not speak. Being young is not the same as having

perseverance and endurance. How old is the kid? No one is in charge of doing

high-intensity exercises.

People who can control themselves are incredible.

After the fat student left, Hu Yarong drank the thermos of water while walking

towards Ji Huai.

The other party sat up with sweat on his neckline and hands. He pulled his

clothes, wiped the sweat from his face, and shook his sweaty hair.

"You didn't sleep in the morning, what time did you come?" Hu Yarong asked

him.

Ji Huai: "At half past six."

Hu Yarong squinted his eyes, remembering what he said he was going to be a

professional athlete, and walked to the front of the field. "It’s right to

practice physical fitness, but you have to exercise scientifically, otherwise

the career path will not be long. Come on, play a game, let me Look at your

level."

Hearing, Ji Huai didn't persuade him, and got up to get a racket.

This fight made Hu Yarong surprised.

Compared with before, the increase in training difficulty has brought Ji

Huai's physical fitness to a higher level. He has a natural and smooth pace,

and he has found a feeling and has improved his jumping ability.

He looked like he had changed when he picked up the racket.

how to say?

It's the vigor in him, the upward vigor, his eyes are focused, and there seems

to be only one thing in his eyes.

Backcourt shots, lobs, smashes, midfield catches, backcourt hooks and pushes,

facing his heavy kills, although the step flexibility is not enough, he can

barely catch them.

"Okay, let's have another one." Hu Yarong was still struggling, and he was

excited.

He seems to have found a good seed. If a coach meets a plastic talent, he will

feel sorry for him. It is an achievement in itself to mold the opponent into a

height that he can't reach.

Soon after Jihuai's physical training, he became more and more exhausted in

the second half of the second game. Hu Yarong also played a lot of four

corners, and he tried his best to catch them.

He didn't play at the level of competition. He just received the ball in a

satisfactory manner. The result was naturally a loss, but Hu Yarong was

already very satisfied.

Ji Huai nodded.

After this game, Hu Yarong became Ji Huai's half coach for free.

In the morning, he took private lessons. Ji Huai was training on the other

side of the badminton hall. Hu Yarong took advantage of the gap to arrange

training content for him, and sometimes gave him a few words.

Ji Huai followed the training set by him and used the equipment in the cabin

for free.

Elastic band, dumbbell, tennis racket, foam roller

Hu Yarong became more and more concerned with this kid, his endurance and

tenacity, no matter how much training amount, he silently finished, and will

increase the amount.

In the afternoon, there were small classes. When confronting the lack of

people, Hu Yarong always called Ji Huai to come, "Come on!"

Ji Huai didn't refuse, picking up the racket and heading to the opposite side.

Fighting against people can practice hand skills. Professional players versus

amateur players, he can hit the ball wherever he wants, and he can also

cooperate with Hu Yarong's commentary. On the contrary, everyone is willing to

match him.

In Hu Yarong's view, Ji Huai's progress is leaps and bounds. With a little

mention, he can miss it immediately. The only difference is physical fitness.

But this kid got up at six o'clock to train independently, so he couldn't help

but look at him with admiration.

Hearing that he had signed up for the municipal badminton competition, Hu

Yarong patted him on the shoulder, "During this period of time, I have worked

hard to win a trophy."

After that, his training for Ji Huai became more professional, and his

physical training became more difficult.

But no matter how high the intensity is, he can always grit his teeth, and his

physical fitness is getting stronger day by day. Coupled with the adjustment

of the technical pace, Hu Yarong has been surprised again and again. Training

Jihuai has become a kind of fun for him. expect.

This process is like carving, every step is very satisfying and pleasantly

surprised.

In early August, the municipal youth badminton championship officially kicked

off in the municipal gymnasium.

Ji Huai is in Group C, which is the age group of twelve to thirteen years old.

Hu Yarong is also here today. He recently took a job and took a part-time job

at a youth badminton club in the city, bringing a dozen students to the

competition.

Chen Xiuman didn't take it too seriously, and didn't think that Ji Huai would

win the prize. He gave Ji Huai fifty yuan and asked Hu Yarong to watch and

have fun.

The competition is a total score of 40% physical fitness test plus 60%

results.

Side tests include one-minute double-rocking skipping rope, standing long

jump, sit-ups, low-center four-point running

Hu Yarong was also observing Ji Huai when he led the trainees. When he

finished the side of his body, he didn't breathe. In the group stage, he won

two games in three games. This kid swept all the way.

It looked like it was easily crushed. From the outside, he was a dark horse,

all of them were 2:0, and the points were far ahead. Unexpectedly, he won the

first place in Group C singles.

After playing a few 21:3, the other party cried to find his mother.

Ji Huai: ""

It feels a little bit bullying children, do they realize that the three-

pointer is also giving way?

It was this game that he attracted the attention of the physical education

teacher of the City No. 1 Middle School.

Hu Yarong exaggerated when he saw that he was the first place, but Ji Huai

only got a little expression when he received the 1,000 yuan bonus, and smiled

when facing the camera.

"First place?" Chen Xiuman was so excited that he looked and watched with the

trophy, even more not against his training. Fearing that he might not have

enough energy, he bought a box of milk at home, or went to the vegetable

market to sell more meat, so he kept eating more.

Before the quiz, the teacher from City No. 1 Middle School came to select

special students.

The selected person didn't need to take the quiz and went straight to the City

No. 1 Middle School. Unexpectedly, Ji Huai was selected. His class Ren was

still stunned and explained that he had no dance foundation.

Ji Huai is tall, and most of them choose to dance.

The teacher from City No. 1 Middle School laughed and said: "I am not a

dancer. He was the first in singles in Group C of the city's badminton

championship last year. I remember that very clearly."

The head teacher was stunned, "I really don't know this."

Chen Xiuman was hesitating whether to spend money to let Ji Huai get a better

private, and read more books. When she heard that she could go to the No. 1

Middle School, she was startled first, then ecstatic.

In contrast, Ji Huai was particularly calm and went to training step by step.

He went to school at seven o'clock, and he was able to get up at six to run

for five kilometers. He had a regular schedule and his stature grew up to 1.7

meters.

He is still used to training in the badminton hall on weekends, and Hu Yarong

is still guiding him.

Hu Yarong took him to the badminton competition the following year. In

addition to registering to play, he also asked him to sign up for doubles with

students from the youth club.

Moreover, it is small to play big, from the C group to register for the second

group.

The result was undoubtedly a win. Both singles and doubles were gold medals.

The boy who partnered with Jihuai said excitedly: "He was in a daze all the

time. He was too good at offensive and felt like he was just picking up gold

medals."

Halfway through, Hu Yarong even felt that there was no suspense in winning,

and he was even better in the match with the previous champion.

The physical education teacher of City No. 1 Middle School is his old

classmate. When he came to greet him, he saw Ji Huai as a treasure, and he

looked at Hu Yarong and said, "Your student?"

"Yeah." Hu Yarong raised his voice, quite proud, "This kid is very malleable,

I tell you, it's not easy to meet, and I have been with me for a year."

"You have to follow me behind, and I was accepted by our school."

Hu Yarong's expression suddenly changed, staring at Ji Huai.

Ji Huai: "Special longevity."

On the way back, Hu Yarong talked about it for a long time, still a little

dissatisfied, and finally said that the coach was also good, and he was the

third runner-up in the domestic championship before, so he could study hard.

The following days, during the weekend vacation, Hu Yarong caught Ji Huai and

asked him to train, and when he saw the game, he asked him to participate.

Unexpectedly, he was the first place.

As long as the competitions represented by the school, singles and doubles

teams are also number one.

He is the hardest and most patient member of the training team. The assembly

took place at half past six, and he had already appeared on the playground at

six, able to resist high-intensity training.

The training conducted by the school badminton team had to be separated in the

end, and some projects were only for him.

With the rise of technology, he seems to have found a way to realize it.

Follow Hu Yarong to do free training, borrow free badminton hall resources,

and make a fortune by the way.

He has good playing skills and can practice with others. He can practice

whatever he wants. After Hu Yarong has taught in the first half, he can review

with the players on the spot. Of course, such a tiring job must be paid.

The sparring period was twenty-five yuan and a half hour, and later rose to

thirty yuan.

Amateurs are not technically skilled, and sometimes run with them for a long

time without sweating.

In the past, he didn't go to the badminton hall in the afternoon and evening.

Later in the afternoon and evening, he would only run there when he was free.

Sparring is very profitable. Those who come to play badminton are all a little

old and a little money. It is normal to find a sparring partner when no one is

playing with them. Students who are just starting to learn to play are

embarrassed to play with veteran students and like to find a sparring partner.

Control the intensity, but also make the other party have a sense of

accomplishment, come to two more games.

Chen Xiuman's salary is only two thousand a month, and he can earn one or two

hundred a day in training, and his income is sometimes equal to her. During

the winter and summer vacations, his income can even exceed hers.

Participating in competitions with bonuses can also make some money. With more

sources of income, they moved out of that dark and damp old building and

rented a nearby two-bedroom and one-living room with air-conditioning in the

room. The rent rose to 800. I bought a small refrigerator and my life has

improved a lot.

By the third grade, Jihuai was 1.77 meters tall. This year he participated in

the provincial badminton elite finals, Quyan City "Lottery Cup" Youth

Badminton Tournament and Quyan City "Shangcai Cup" Youth Badminton Tournament

and won Group A singles. , First place in doubles.

City No. 1 Middle School posted the red list. Moreover, he won the first place

in the province and is about to go to the national youth team for intensive

training in Wenhu, Taizhou.

There are a total of more than 150 people who come to train. The top three

from various provinces and local ranking recommendations will eventually enter

the national youth team for training again.

In Hu Yarong's words, Ji Huai seemed to go smoothly, but it was destined.

In the last two months of training, Ji Huai entered the national youth team as

the first place in this age group, and continued his 45-year training.

At the beginning of February, Chen Xiuman looked forward to a few months,

hoping and hoping, not expecting Ji Huai to return, instead Hu Yarong suddenly

ran over and told her excitedly, "Ji Huai has entered the second national

team, he has entered the second team!! !"

Chen Xiuman doesn't know what the second national team is, but it must be very

powerful when it comes to the word country.

"It is the national team. If you work hard, if you can enter the first team,

you will be the main national player. That is the dream of a badminton player.

Maybe you can stand on the highest podium." When Hu Yarong said, his voice was

still a little trembling, his fists were shaking. Holding it tightly, he said

a few words "Awesome", "I knew this kid could do it.", "Maybe I can still

participate in the next Olympics."

City No. 1 Middle School got the news faster, firecrackers rang for several

rounds, big banners were hung up, and red lists were posted.

Ji Huai was selected as the first place in the men's singles in the 16-year-

old age group and was transferred to the second team of the national team.

The author has something to say: good night. (▔3)(e▔)
