Sanwang jumped down and chattered about his family, including his father, mother, brothers, sisters, and Xiaowang. He also said that he might have to go to the provincial capital, but he was a little confused and didn't want to go...

Dawang: “Everything is fine.”

Fu Zhengyuan was very careful. Seeing that Dawang looked unwell, he asked anxiously, "Is Big Brother sick?"

Da Wang: "No, is there anything to eat?"

Sanwang: "Yes, my eldest brother hasn't had dinner yet. Let's go eat. There are people on duty in the cafeteria."

Da Wang didn't say hello to them and went to the cafeteria with San Wang.

Their school is not big but the treatment is good. There are three teachers, and one of them takes turns living in the school every day.

Sanwang has a good relationship with the teachers. After all, he is now a celebrity in the school. Except for the provincial competition, he has always won honors for the school. With him, the sports school can compete with other regions for outstanding students, even though it cannot show its face in the province. The school leaders like him very much and have specially instructed the kitchen to make Sanwang eat whatever the cafeteria has.

Sanwang: "Master Wang, you haven't slept yet."

Grandpa Wang was cracking pumpkin seeds. When he saw Dawang and Sanwang come in, he smiled and asked them to sit down. "Eat some pumpkin seeds. I fried them myself." There were too many fried pumpkins in the cafeteria, so he picked out the seeds, dried them in the sun, and fried them with some sand. It's a good snack to grind your teeth.

Sanwang: "Master Wang, please make something for my brother. He hasn't had dinner yet."

Da Wang took out money and food coupons.

Master Wang smiled and said, "No need, just consider it as an extra meal for Sanwang today."

Sanwang went to help him, "I'll light a fire for you."

Da Wang: "Master Wang, please don't bother. Just give me some dry food."

Grandpa Wang: "Is that okay? I'll give you a bowl of noodles." He knew Da Wang had a big appetite. This kid must be about 1.80 meters tall now. When he was growing up, he exercised a lot, so his stomach was like a bottomless pit. He could never feel full no matter how much he ate, and when he was full, he would just pee and feel hungry again.

He was very skillful. He scooped flour, beat eggs, added water, and then kneaded the dough. Once it was ready, he started to bang it.

Da Wang and San Wang: “…………”

Sanwang: "Master Wang, please keep your voice down. If someone hears you, they might think you are cheating."

Mr. Wang laughed and patted his big belly. "Didn't I tell you? A cook won't die of hunger even if there's a three-year drought! A big belly and a thick neck means he must be a stoker. Everyone knows this, so who's going to make fun of me?"

Da Wang: ...But no one would say it so brazenly.

Sanwang went over and pinched Master Wang's belly, "Master Wang, you'd better lose weight. My mother said that people can't be fat. It's worth a lot of money to be thin in old age. If you are fat, you will easily get sick. What about high blood pressure, high blood fat, high blood sugar, diabetes..."

Lin Lan heard all this from Yang Han, but she just told the kids as a joke, saying that if life was better, things might be this and that.

There is no certain future. We always think that the future must be better. We never think that along with the beauty comes ugliness and danger. The negative effects of material abundance should not be underestimated.

He told Grandpa Wang about various diseases and their symptoms. He said that he felt a little fuzzy when he woke up in the morning, snored at night, and had blood rushing to his head when he got angry... Anyway, he was talking nonsense. Grandpa Wang was not well-educated, so he just thought that these two children were amazing and everything they said was good. He was so scared that his hands were shaking, and he kept thinking that he might really be sick.

Frightened by Sanwang, Mr. Wang didn't keep any noodles even for his entire life, and gave them all to Dawang to make hand-rolled noodles.

Under the big pot, a small pot is cooking farm-style braised pork stew. When they are taken out of the pot together, a large spoonful of the greasy stew is scooped into a large bowl of noodles. Add a handful of coriander, chopped green onions, and salted vegetables, and the aroma will fill your nose.

Da Wang felt even hungrier.

Mr. Wang took a head of garlic and said, "Brother, would you like one?"

Da Wang doesn't like garlic, but instead looks at the peppers.

Sanwang: "Master Wang, give my brother a bowl of chili."

Master Wang: "I have some chili oil here, which I keep for myself. Hehe." He took out a big jar of chili sauce that he made himself.

Da Wang suddenly felt his taste buds awaken tenfold and a hundredfold, and began to eat noodles.

Although he was hungry, he did not wolf it down immediately. He remembered Lin Lan's words and drank warm water first, then ate the noodles. Mr. Wang was indeed a skilled chef in the past. The noodles were rolled to be chewy and had a good texture. The sauerkraut and pork sauce was also fragrant and oily. The farmer's sauce had a rich flavor, and with the addition of the secret spicy sauce, it was so delicious that Dawang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing how he was eating, Grandpa Wang also began to salivate. This young man looked energetic and handsome, and his eating posture was also beautiful. He sat upright and ate noodles without making any gurgling noises. He was very different from the rough guy.

But he was not slow at all. Look, he finished the whole bowl of noodles silently.

Oh my, you eat a lot.

Mr. Wang went to serve noodles again, "Young man, can you finish one bowl?"

Da Wang nodded.

Grandpa Wang brought it to him and said, "Eat more. Look at the child, he's hungry." He thought that people in the countryside don't have enough food to eat, and the child eats a lot, so he must be hungry. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.

Sanwang was already feeling upset. It seemed that the family was not getting enough to eat. Seeing how hungry the eldest brother was, how hungry the family must be? Xiaowang must be so hungry that he had a big head and a pair of big black eyes. Parents loved them and gave them the delicious food first, just to make sure they were full. If they were not full, then parents would be hungry too.

Thinking about his mother starving at home, Sanwang felt as if his heart was being bitten by claws, making him feel painful and uncomfortable.

Da Wang ate another large bowl of food silently.

Mr. Wang tried to test him: "Young man, another bowl?"

Da Wang hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.

Mr. Wang directly scooped out all of it, making another large bowl, "There's also some soy sauce, mix it in."

Da Wang: "Thank you, Grandpa." He started eating again.

Sanwang: "Brother, you didn't eat on the way." Brother has been here for at least two days. Have you been hungry for two days?

Da Wang paused and swallowed the noodles in his mouth. The hot noodles and spicy peppers made his forehead and nose sweat. He wiped his hands and said, "I didn't bring any dry food this time."

No dry food?

Sanwang jumped up in shock. He went out for two days without any dry food? Mother wouldn't be so stingy with her elder brother.

The truth is – the family is in dire straits!

Sanwang was about to cry. It seemed that he earned too little money.

It was true. The eldest brother, the second brother, the sister, and Xiaowang were all grown up and had big appetites. People said that the youngsters made their parents poor. Others had one youngster who made their parents poor, but what about the five of them in their family? Moreover, the youngsters in their family had to go to school and spend money, so they had no time to earn work points.

Besides, he wants his younger brother to learn to play the piano in the future.

No, I still have to make more money.

After eating the noodles, Da Wang felt like he was alive again, and then he drank a large bowl of noodle soup.

Mr. Wang had already knelt down completely, "Young man, suffer!"

Da Wang: “…” Is there any misunderstanding?

Sanwang pulled Master Wang aside and muttered, "Master, can I use my allowance to buy food coupons?"

There is a food shortage in the countryside, and money is secondary. If money can be exchanged for food, that would be the best.

Master Wang nodded and said, "Just wait, I have something here."

He went to get thirty kilograms of food coupons and handed them to Sanwang.

Sanwang: "Master, you are so kind. I will pay you back monthly when I get my allowance."

Master Wang really likes him. He patted him on the back and said, "What are you talking about? Don't worry. I love listening to you talking on the radio. I also love watching you swim. It's awesome."

The two said goodbye to Master Wang and left the cafeteria without returning to the dormitory.

Sanwang: "Brother, you eat so much, take a walk to digest it."

Da Wang would walk around the campus with him and go to the swimming pool to observe more so that he could tell his family about San Wang's situation here. Even though he talked about the same things every time, his family would listen with great interest. Although Da Wang saw the same things every time, he would still walk around carefully every time.

Sanwang strengthened his confidence: "Brother, I am really going to the provincial sports school." Originally, he wanted to insist on going next year, because he had agreed before that he would stay in the region for two years before going to the provincial sports school.

After all, he is still young.

However, because there is an Asian Games this year, the national team came to various provinces to select talents. They heard that there is a young Flying Fish player in their province and wanted him to try out, so the provincial sports school wanted to recruit him one year in advance.

Although he was given more money, he didn't really want to go because he would be far from home, his elder brother wouldn't be able to see him when he came to the army, and he also had feelings for his roommates and didn't want to leave.

But now, my eldest brother is starving and the family can't even afford to eat. He has to go, earning more money and food coupons to support the family is the right way.

He really loves swimming!

Da Wang nodded: "The provincial sports school is better."

"Well, I won't be able to see you even if I go there."

Dawang: "Write a letter."

"If I go, I won't be able to go on the radio."

"You can do it." Da Wang felt that based on San Wang's character, he estimated that he would be able to get in touch with the provincial radio station when he had time.

"Yeah, if I play well, they'll definitely come back to me." Yes, that's it.

Fu Zhengyuan also said that if he went to the Asian Games, he might be the youngest athlete. Even if he didn't win a prize, just participating in the competition would attract the attention of the whole country and even the attention of top leaders!

If everyone pays attention to him, can he be on the radio?

Ha ha.

Yes, I really love swimming!

Because he was worried about the family's financial problems, Sanwang didn't ask his eldest brother about his mother, father, brothers, sisters, and Shen Yu like he used to do. Today, he was afraid that his eldest brother wouldn't tell him, or that he would have to make up a lie to deceive him, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Although he didn't ask, Da Wang still told him as before, "Dad and Mom are fine. Mom asked you to train well and take care of your health."

Sanwang nodded, tears already welling up in his eyes. His parents couldn't even afford to eat, but they still cared about him. He would have enough steamed buns here.

Da Wang heard his nasal tone and thought he was homesick. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and put his arm around his shoulder, patting him, "I'll go to the provincial capital to see you."

"No, I will write. You just need to write more." Sanwang sniffed. It was more expensive to write to the provincial capital, and he didn't want his family to waste money. He held Dawang tightly with his arms, "Brother, please ask mother to make sure you eat well and don't save money. Don't worry about me. You can see that I eat well here, and I have enough for every meal."

Da Wang: “…” Is there any misunderstanding?

He hugged Sanwang back, "Okay."

Sanwang wiped his tears and said, "Brother, take a walk for a while and then go back to sleep."

Da Wang: “No.” He has to go directly to the army to attend training tomorrow morning. He doesn’t have much time left, so every second counts.

Sanwang hummed and sent Dawang out, feeling a little depressed.

When they reached the door, the receptionist saw them and greeted them.

Da Wang saw that San Wang was in a bad mood, so he looked down at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sanwang shook his head: "It's okay."

Dawang: "Everything is fine at home. Write more letters." He took out a blue stone the size of an egg from his schoolbag and put it in Sanwang's hand. "This is what mom likes the most."

Sanwang: "...Brother, I have photos of our family, no need for stones."

Dawang: “Take it.”

Sanwang still thought that since he already had the photo, why did he still need the stone? But since his mother liked it, he would keep it. He could find a few more for his mother to make her happy.

Da Wang patted him and said, "Go back. I'm leaving now."

Sanwang nodded, "Brother, please watch the road carefully."

Da Wang didn't look back, but just waved his hand and quickly blended into the night.

When Da Wang was out of sight, San Wang ran back and rushed directly to Chu Yunfeng's dormitory and banged on the door, "Teacher, teacher!"

Chu Yunfeng had already taken a shower and was lying on the bed discussing something with another teacher. When he heard Sanwang's voice, he quickly opened the door and asked anxiously, "Sanwang, what's the matter?" He thought something big had happened.

Sanwang's eyes lit up amazingly, "Teacher, I want to participate in the Asian Games!"

Chu Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, "Sanwang, what stimulated you?"

Sanwang: "Teacher, I love swimming, and I want to win glory for my country!" Of course he couldn't say that he did it to earn money for his mother to eat, that was not in accordance with the rules, and the teacher also taught him that he had to say something nice.

Chu Yunfeng burst into laughter, and the teacher in the room also came out, "Han Wangmin, you are ambitious."

Chu Yunfeng: "But the selection for the Asian Games has already been completed and the registration has been submitted... right?"

He didn't quite understand it, so he asked the teacher.

The teacher didn't understand either, "How about we ask?"

If Sanwang can really participate in the Asian Games, it will be an honor for their region and their province, even if they cannot win a prize... and they feel good about themselves and are extremely confident in Sanwang, thinking that they can still win a prize in the 100 meters.

They found that Sanwang had a peculiarity: once he was inspired or encouraged, he would break through his normal performance. This level of extraordinary performance would then be recorded by his body and become a norm until it was broken again.

Before, when they talked about going to the provincial sports school, Sanwang was not enthusiastic, so Chu Yunfeng did not force him. But now Sanwang wanted to, so of course he was willing to give it a try. Moreover, the provincial sports school had intended to select the best athlete to join the national team, just to prepare a substitute for the Asian Games.

This is an opportunity to go abroad and win glory for the country. It will make your name go down in history.

The teachers were also excited and hurried to find the school leaders, who then called the provincial sports school. The provincial sports school leaders had all gone to bed when they were woken up again. They were not very happy at first, but now they heard that Feiyu was willing to go to the sports school and be a substitute for the Asian Games. They were very happy and immediately applied to the regional revolutionary committee to send a car to take Sanwang and Chu Yunfeng to the provincial sports school overnight and wait for the national team coach to give his approval before sending Sanwang.

The selection process involves reporting the results of daily competitions, average training results, and the results at the final selection, which can be used as the measurement standard.

Sanwang's results in the 200m and above were not good enough, but his results in the 50m and 100m freestyle were good enough, so the leaders of the provincial sports school were so excited.

Han Qingsong, Lin Lan and Da Wang also didn't know that because he didn't bring dry food when training his son, such a big incident happened in the swimming circle.

The 11-year-old young swimmer Han Wangmin is going to participate in the Asian Games. This is the first Asian Games that New China has participated in since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the first large-scale international event!
