"What? Why would the capital's sports base recruit your grandson?" He is not smart enough.
Old Mrs. An, one hand on her waist and the other holding a broom, said, "What do you know? My little grandson runs fast! He came all the way from the capital to our village just because he saw how fast Xiaojun ran!"
An old lady curled her lips and said, "My little grandson runs pretty fast, why don't I see anyone recruiting my grandson?"
"No matter how fast your grandson runs, can he be as fast as my Xiaojun? The teacher from the capital selected my Xiaojun to train at the capital's sports base. He will win glory for our country in the future!"
"What does running have to do with winning glory for the country?" The old men and women who have lived in the village all their lives don't understand how running can be so important.
“Have you ever heard of the Olympics?”
Without a television and unable to read newspapers, how could these old men and women in the village know what the Olympics are?
Mrs. An suddenly felt very superior. "The Olympics is a competition for the whole world. We can watch it on TV when it's held! If my Xiaojun participates, we can see him on TV too!"
It’s a pity that her family doesn’t have a TV. I don’t know when Xiaojun will join the team. Will her family be able to afford a TV by then?
"So what else is there to compete in the Olympics besides running?"
"There are many competitions, besides running, there are also long jump, high jump and diving."
"Why are all these people dancing?"
It wasn't all the dances, but that's all Old Lady An remembered. After being asked, she felt a little guilty, but then she realized that these people couldn't possibly know what else they were doing. She said confidently, "How should I know? I didn't set up this competition!"
After bragging outside and enjoying the envious looks of others, Mrs. An went home to make meat sauce.
That was what her son specifically requested. When she thought about not being able to see her son for several months, the joy and pride in Mrs. An's heart diminished a little.
…
After separating from the An family, An Jingzhi took An Xiaojun on a train to the Capital Sports Training Base.
Because of An Xiaojun's special situation, the base also allocated them a one-bedroom apartment.
An Jingzhi had his food and lodging at the base, and he didn't spend a penny of the money he had on him.
As soon as he arrived at the training base, after An Xiaojun rested for two days, the teacher at the base immediately took him for a more professional test.
It is not only a test of his speed, but also a comprehensive test of his reaction, agility, potential and other aspects.
The person in charge of the base stood nearby and watched the entire test. After the test was over, he couldn't wait to ask Zhao Sangang, "How was it?"
An Jingzhi waited with his arms folded.
Zhao Sangang held up the recorded data and beamed. "We've finally found a treasure this time! This kid has huge potential! He's the best of our current training group. With more training, he'll definitely bring glory to our country!"
"Hahaha, great! Then I'll leave this kid to you to train. If possible, let him try out in next year's Asian Games."
Zhao Sangang looked hesitant. "If I could keep up with the training, maybe I could give it a try. But this kid is a little hard to get along with. Every time I ask him to do something, he looks at Comrade An. If he goes on stage, I'm afraid something will happen."
The person in charge of the base had also heard of An Xiaojun's special features, and said, "Let's give it a try. Isn't there Comrade An to help cooperate?"
Zhao Sangang had no choice but to agree.
An Xiaojun did whatever he was told to do at the base, but the prerequisite was that it was An Jingzhi's order.
"Comrade An, you have to teach Xiaojun to reduce his dependence on you, at least to make sure he obeys when we train him."
An Jingzhi nodded and said, "I will tell Xiaojun. He is not familiar with you yet. It will be much better once he gets familiar with this environment."
Jiang Wei was originally from the provincial sports base. Because he selected such a good seedling like An Xiaojun, and because he had contact with An Xiaojun, and An Xiaojun only dared to get close to people he was familiar with, he was also transferred to the capital sports base to be responsible for training An Xiaojun together with Zhao Sangang.
When An Xiaojun first started training on the ground, he would glance at An Jingzhi who was sitting in the stands next to him from time to time.
Two months later.
"Xiaojun, do you still remember the running moves we did at home yesterday?"
An Xiaojun nodded to Jiang Wei, "Xiaojun remembers."
"Then let's start today's training."
An Jingzhi was holding a bowl of noodles in his hand, slurping it up as he ate and watched from the stands.
In the past two months, An Jingzhi has been able to occasionally leave the other person's sight, and An Xiaojun is not so anxious anymore.
Everything is moving in the right direction.
Zhao Sangang sat next to An Jingzhi. "Although Xiaojun is born with some intellectual disabilities, he is more innocent than others. He can actually focus more during training."
An Jingzhi took a mouthful of noodles and said, "Isn't it? Sometimes it's a good thing to think less."
Zhao Sangang glanced sideways at An Jingzhi. After spending the past few months together, he knew that he was a somewhat unreliable father. But he didn't expect to hear him utter such a seemingly philosophical statement today.
After seeing the results below, Zhao Sangang ended his conversation with An Jingzhi and hurried to Jiang Wei.
"How are your grades?"
"21.88."
Zhao Sangang said excitedly: "Great!"
Achieving such a 200m result would be a very good result in today's international competitions! Not to mention that An Xiaojun had only been training for two months.
This proves that their training is effective.
An Jingzhi knew that it was not only due to the training skills, but also because the food prices had increased after he arrived at the base. Although An Xiaojun could not choose his food at will, the food arranged for him was all screened to ensure that he had adequate nutrition.
In addition, I am at the age of growing up, so my body has become much stronger in the past two months.
Even he himself has gained a little weight. It's no surprise that his running speed has improved.
An Xiaojun can't eat casually, but he doesn't have such concerns. He can't leave An Xiaojun's sight. It's boring to stand here and watch every day. When his mouth is lonely, he goes to the cafeteria to ask for something to eat. In this way, he gets fat.
An Jingzhi came over with an empty bowl and said, "Don't be happy too soon, you two. If you don't instill these skills into Xiaojun every day, he will soon forget them." Just like when he asked An Xiaojun about the starting technique before, the other party had already forgotten it completely.
When Jiang Wei and the others heard this, the joy on their faces faded a little, but they immediately recovered their mood and said, "It's okay, it's just training. We train every day, so we don't have to worry about Xiaojun forgetting it!" There is still some time left anyway.
An Jingzhi shrugged, said hello to An Xiaojun, went out to put down the empty bowl, and prepared to get something to eat.
The days of retirement are comfortable, but a bit too boring.
