Chapter 262 Ordering Milk
Shen Zhiyou did not give Feng Qin a direct reply. After they exchanged contact information, they agreed to give each other a definite answer within three days.
When they got home, they all looked a little solemn because they were so busy.
The whole family, including two adults and four children, held a family meeting together.
The protagonist of the meeting was Manman, the youngest and most delicate child in their family.
After just a quick look, Gu Ye knew how much training professional athletes had to do. He also inquired about the selection system and development path in the sports field and gave Manman a detailed analysis.
When Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan heard this, she frowned and said, "This is too bitter!"
"Manman usually needs mom and dad to carry him if he wants to walk a few steps. He never sits when he can lie down, and never stands when he can sit. He is just like his mom. Such a large amount of training is too tiring!"
Shen Zhiyou and Manman who were attacked at the same time: "........"
Shen Zhiyou glared at Yuanyuan in annoyance and said, "I was just conserving my energy!"
Manman nodded vigorously: "That's right!"
Although the mother and daughter are usually a little lazy and pampered, they do what they should do well.
Yuanyuan remained silent. As the eldest brother, Tuantuan was more reliable.
Tuan Tuan: "Manman, you have to think carefully. Right now we spend most of our time recuperating, but if we want to become a professional athlete in the future, we may spend most of our time exercising, and we have to race against time to recuperate."
The brothers couldn't bear to see their sister, whom they had raised with care since childhood, suffer.
"Moreover, the selection of athletes is even more brutal than the college entrance exam. Look, there are only so many athletes in our province, and there are dozens of people practicing rhythmic gymnastics alone. With so many provinces in the country, it's hard for each province to have one person selected to join the Beijing team. Even if you join the Beijing team, you may not be able to participate in large-scale competitions. It's even harder to win medals in competitions."
The mother had already told her about this.
Manman blinked and asked, "What do the athletes who were not selected do?"
Athletes who were not selected.
Those who come from well-off families have places to go.
Some went to schools to be physical education teachers, some went to children's palaces or other units to be coaches, and some even changed their careers directly.
For children whose families are average and who come from poor backgrounds, it’s really hard to say.
I am quite confused.
Shen Zhiyou looked at her daughter's chubby face with a confused expression, and her heart softened. She touched her daughter's head:
"That's why Mom asked Teacher Feng to promise that no matter what, training will not interfere with your studies. I'm afraid that one day you won't want to continue and you can come back to school and take the college entrance exam like your brothers. This is also what Mom and Dad want of you. No matter how hard the training is, you can't fall behind in your studies."
"Mom and Dad work hard, firstly so that they can have a better life, and secondly so that you can have more choices, so that your life can have more possibilities, so that you have the confidence to try more possibilities. So, do whatever you want to do. As long as you have worked hard, no matter what happens in the end, you will have your parents to support you."
Finally, Manman decided to go and give it a try.
When you first start trying, you definitely won’t be like a professional athlete and want to live directly in the training ground every day. Your spare time is enough.
When there is no need to record a program, Shen Zhiyou gets off work early and goes directly to the elementary school to pick up Manman to take to training.
If Nian Nian wants to go to the training place with them, he can go with them. If he doesn’t want to go, just send him home first.
Unable to stay at home alone for long, Gu Ye, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan came back.
When the training was almost over, Gu Ye came to pick them up on time.
I am definitely more tired than usual.
During the first week of training, Manman could not walk after training every day and had to hang on to his mom or dad.
I fell asleep before I even got home.
Looking at the face that was so tired that it was sleeping like a pig, Shen Zhiyou wanted to say several times, let’s just forget it.
But every day when she picked up Manman for training, the little girl would hold her hand and skip along.
Even though I am tired after training, I will still hug her neck softly and tell her excitedly and brightly what she has learned today.
Shen Zhiyou forced herself to hold it back.
I can only cook for myself or buy more meat and vegetables when buying meals in the cafeteria so that the children can eat their fill.
In the past two years, society has changed more and more.
At the beginning of this year, milk also began to move from a special product to every household.
Many colleagues at the provincial TV station have ordered fresh milk for their children, called Guangming fresh milk, and they can only order it every other day.
After the order is placed, the milk supply unit will come to their doorstep to install a small box, and the milk will be delivered when they wake up every day.
The packaging is also different from that of milk powder. It is packed in glass bottles and does not need to be brewed. You can drink it directly after it is delivered.
After drinking, put the bottle in the milk box and the milkman will collect it and take it away.
A bottle of milk cost 30 cents. There were four children in the family, so Shen Zhiyou ordered four bottles. She spent nearly half a month's salary on ordering milk for the children.
Every year their classmate Niu Jianchang came to their home to play with them. When he saw that they were all drinking milk, he also asked for some milk when he returned.
That evening, Niu Jianchang's mother came to ask, "Niannian's mother, where did you order this milk? What are the benefits of drinking it?"
"There is a Guangming milk station near my workplace. I went to the workplace to get a letter of introduction. At the end of the month, I took the letter to the milk station to place an order. Someone would deliver it at the appointed time."
"That's quite convenient! Someone will deliver it to your door!"
"Yeah, everyone says drinking milk is good. I also drank all kinds of goat milk when I was a kid, so I ordered it for them too."
Judging from the results of their children, the effects are visibly good.
In the past six months, Tuantuanyuanyuan's height has increased visibly.
A few months ago, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan complained of leg pain, so Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye took them to the hospital.
In the end, the doctor said there was nothing wrong. It was just growing pains. The child was growing too fast and the body didn't have time to adapt to the changes, so the legs would hurt. All it took was more supplements.
Their food was good, with eggs and meat every day.
After the doctor finished speaking, they went to buy malted milk.
But after drinking it, my legs still hurt, but it was a little better than before.
After drinking milk for the past few months, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan no longer complain about the pain in their legs.
Niu Jianchang's parents are not very tall. They are in the same class as Niannian Manman, but they are still not as tall as Manman now.
Now when I heard that drinking this milk can help me grow taller, I was immediately attracted.
But when I heard that a bottle of milk cost 30 cents, I exclaimed, "That can buy half a pound of pork!"
"You have four children who have all subscribed, so doesn't that mean they will spend $1.20 a day?"
Shen Zhiyou nodded: "Almost the same, but if I deliver it every other day, it's not bad for a month, the company will also provide subsidies."
Niu Jianchang's mother laughed twice and said, "Let's wait and see. I really can't get used to the smell of this milk. Jianchang definitely doesn't like to drink it, right, Jianchang?"
Niu Jianchang looked at the milk bottle on their table with some envy.
I thought that he was used to the smell of milk. Last time, when I couldn’t finish it, I gave him a sip. He likes it.
He looked up to meet his mother's eyes, swallowed it back, and nodded: "Well, I don't like to drink."
"Look, let me tell you! If you don't like it, we won't order it and waste the money."
