Junior football dream

Chapter 14 Hometown
The train runs on the rolling hills, winding and undulating among the mountains, like an active river.The mountains and trees on both sides are ancient and dignified, and the quaint houses bear traces of history, like a mirror, reflecting the ancient and vicissitudes of life here.

Outside the car window is a lush tree, exuding the smell of summer.In the air, exudes the smell of hot sunshine.On both sides of the railway track, there are endless farmlands, and the slightly yellowed crops sway slightly under the gentle breeze.Occasionally, you can pass by a pond with lotus blooming in it, and maybe a few ducks swimming in it, very leisurely.

The houses on both sides of the road are not the kind of high-rise buildings, but some bungalows with red bricks and white tiles.They hide in the bushes, revealing bricks and half tiles.However, there are also some dilapidated houses that are about to collapse, standing alone on a small hill, with some vicissitudes and desolation.

"It's so beautiful, this is my hometown, my motherland."

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Zhou Xing couldn't leave his sight for a long time.The mountains, rivers, plants and trees here are all so kind and lovely, which made him intoxicated.

Li Tian was lying on the sleeper sleeping soundly, indifferent.No matter how Ren Zhouxing held him back and told him how beautiful the scenery outside the window was, he still couldn't get up on the bed. Every time he took the train, he had seen enough of these scenery, and of course he didn't feel any excitement or excitement.

Finally, the car stopped at a small rural station, which was Zhou Xing's hometown.This is a quaint town with an antique flavor, and it has not been rendered with much modern atmosphere.The number of people getting off from this small station was really very small, only three or four people scattered and slowly walked out of the platform.

A few rickshaws were parked beside the platform in the small town, and several drivers gathered together, chatting and bragging, very leisurely.Seeing Li Tian and Zhou Xing get out of the car, they are not in a hurry to solicit customers like some residents of big cities, they are quiet and lazy.

"Come on, let's get in the car."

Li Tian yelled softly, sat on a rickshaw with Zhou Xing, and yelled to the drivers over there.

Hearing the shout, two coachmen ran over, pulled the cart and ran away without saying a word.

"Find a hotel, let's stay first." Li Tian said to Zhou Xing.

With a soft promise, Zhou Xing's thoughts were all on this beautiful hometown.The pavement of the town is very neat, it is the kind of old bluestone slabs.The coachman's footsteps passed by, making a sound like a wonderful sound of nature.

After crossing a few small alleys, the coachmen pulled the car to a relatively formal hotel in this small town.After getting out of the car and paying the driver's fare, the two got out of the car.

"Bridge West Hotel."

Zhou Xing smiled and read the big characters on the signboard of the small hotel, and smiled proudly at Li Tian.

"Yes, there has been some progress."

Li Tian praised.After speaking, the two walked into the small hotel together.Everyone in the whole town is very lazy, even the proprietress of the small hotel is the same.

After slowly registering the ID information of Li Tian and Zhou Xing, the proprietress handed them two keys and said, "One for each person. If you want hot water, you can provide it here. Three meals a day are provided on time, which is already included in the accommodation. Ferry."

The proprietress took them to her room and left.

After putting away their luggage, Zhou Xing and Li Tian left the hotel, strolling slowly and quietly in the small town.

A small river runs through the center of the town, so there are many bridges in the town.The bridge is not long, and it is very old. It is the kind of stone arch bridge with a very long history.The small river is not deep, and the people in the small town put a few stones by the river, which are regarded as support points for washing and washing vegetables.

The water is very clear, so clear that you can see the swimming of the fish inside.When the water is high, the creek is called a creek, and when the water is low, the creek becomes a trickle, like a brook.

In this hot summer, the children have nothing to do for entertainment, they all jumped down the small river in threes and fives, playing happily in the water.Or, grab those mung bean-sized mung bean fish that hide in rocks with small bottles or net bags.Occasionally, a few lucky ones would grab a few crabs and show them off to their companions happily.

Walking in the small town, Zhou Xing and Li Tian also felt the tranquility here, and felt the tranquility and leisure here. "It's like a paradise." Li Tianzhu sighed.Zhou Xing didn't say much, but he was very excited inside.I kept shouting silently in my heart: "This is my hometown, my beautiful hometown."

The two walked slowly, swaying slowly on the streets of the town.Walking and walking, the two of them had arrived at the middle school in the small town.However, since it was summer vacation, the middle school in the small town was also very quiet and there were not many students.

Walking and watching, Zhou Xing's face turned serious, and the original smile disappeared.It turned out that the classrooms and desks of the school in the small town were very dilapidated.All of this is out of proportion to the quiet and beautiful scenery here.

"If these houses are removed, how much will it cost to rebuild some classrooms?" Zhou Xing asked Li Tian.Seeing the situation here, he wanted to do something he could do by himself.

Seeing Zhou Xing's question, Li Tian naturally understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Why, you want to donate. Let me think about it, maybe a few hundred thousand will do."

"Hundreds of thousands? I have saved more than 30 Yarels, which should be enough. I heard that RMB is not as valuable as Yarels. If this is the case, then it should be about the same."

Zhou Xing slowly calculated his savings to see if it was enough to build a school.

"Enough, equivalent to RMB 100 million, definitely enough." Li Tian replied hastily.

"Well, when I go back to Brazil, I will take them all out and donate them here. It can be regarded as doing something for my hometown." Zhou Xing said with a smile.

"A 16-year-old child is quite thoughtful." Li Tian thought that if he planned to write these things in the "Sports Weekly", it would definitely win praise from many people.

The two were thinking, and the shouts of a group of children over there attracted the two of them.I saw a few fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys chasing a football on the small playground of the school, playing a small game on the dilapidated small playground,

Seeing the football, Zhou Xing's eyes lit up. "Let's go play for a while too. It's been a long time since we played, and we're already at the end of it." Zhou Xing has always had a strong interest in football.

"Play football, that's fine. But what about the shoes we don't have?" Looking at the leather shoes under the feet of the two, Li Tian asked suspiciously.

"Isn't it good to take off your shoes?" Zhou Xing took off his shoes, rushed to the field, and said to the crowd playing football: "How about it, add two more."

Looking at Zhou Xing who was not wearing shoes in surprise, Zhang Hui, the leader of the soccer boys, nodded and said, "Okay, you play over there."

"If I don't play, I won't play." Seeing these children who are half his junior playing football, Li Tian was embarrassed to play and quickly refused.

However, Zhou Xing did not force himself, and quickly integrated into the fun of playing small games.The site of the town is very poor, there is no grass, the bare loess is exposed, and there are some stones on it.However, Zhou Xing, who was running barefoot and fast above, seemed to have no effect at all.

Since Zhou Xing joined, the situation on the field has changed.Originally, there had always been an absolute advantage over there. Under the leadership of Zhang Hui, they bombarded the goals of Zhou Xing's team.

But since Zhou Xing joined, this side has an absolute advantage.Whether it is passing breakthrough or speed, Zhou Xing is much higher than those of his similar age.

Zhang Hui is considered the leader of this group of people, and his skills are also the best among them.However, no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to grab a corner of Zhou Xing's clothes.

"Another breakthrough." Zhou Xing swayed his feet and made a movement of pedaling a bicycle.Seeing this series of dizzying fake moves, Zhang Hui kept moving, trying to follow Zhou Xing.It's just that he paid too much attention to Zhou Xing's movements, but didn't pay attention to his feet.At his feet, there are several small stones.When he stepped on it, the small stone slipped, and Jean immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Xing quickly stopped the ball and looked at Zhang Hui, afraid that something might happen to him.

"It's nothing. It's just a fall. I'm used to this broken field." Zhang Hui spat bitterly.

Next, Zhou Xing played with them for a while.However, his skills are really good, he is as nimble as a fish on the court, and he beat the team led by Zhang Hui to the brink of failure, which made these youngsters of his age surprised and envious, and asked him for advice on football skills .As for Zhou Xing, he also wanted to teach them some of the experiences he knew without reservation, which made them very grateful.

"Wow, your skills are really good, just like those guys on TV, amazing."

Zhang Hui said in amazement, for Zhou Xing, he really admires Zhou Xing at this time.Moreover, the opponent still kicked him barefoot.Is it okay if you wear shoes?

"It's a joke, if his skills are not as good as yours, then what is he doing? The top scorer in the Copa Libertadores, you think it's a fake." Li Tian looked at Zhang Hui and thought.

"Your ones are pretty good too, pretty good." Zhou Xing said modestly.

"By the way, where did you play and how did you practice?" Zhang Hui was also very obsessed with football and asked enviously.

"Brazil." Zhou Xing said, rubbing his sore feet.

"Brazil, huh, bragging, I still played in Argentina." Zhang Hui didn't believe Zhou Xing's words. Looking at the boy who was about his age, he couldn't believe that he learned how to play football from Brazil.

"Don't get hurt, Zhou Xing. Let me see if there's anything wrong." Seeing Zhou Xing rubbing his feet, Li Tian became a little nervous.If Zhou Xing is injured, then his responsibility will be great.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Xing said with a smile, then pointed to the soles of his feet and said, "You see, the soles of my feet have long been used to them, they are all calluses, even if they are burned with stones, they are nothing.

"Wow, how did you get so many calluses?" Zhang Hui touched Zhou Xing's feet and asked in amazement.

"It's all from some training. I got it from playing football on the beach. Besides, when I usually play football, there is friction between the soles of my feet and the sneakers. It's normal to have this." After speaking, Zhou Xing stood up and Zhou Xing wore it. After finishing his shoes, he patted the soil on his body and said to Zhang Hui, "I will come back. However, I hope that the court will be paved with turf at that time, so that it will be more comfortable to play.

"I hope." Zhang Hui looked at the backs of the two and murmured.

A month later, the Town Civil Affairs Bureau received a donation of 50 RMB.In the postscript of the donation form, it is stated that 35 yuan will be used to build the school, and another 15 yuan will be used to renovate the school's sports facilities, especially the football field.

Since then, the football field in the town has turf.As for the 35 yuan, after deducting the cost of building the school, there are still tens of thousands of yuan left.Under discussion, all are used to purchase books.Since then, the middle school library in the small town is no longer just a show.

When we got back, dinner was ready.A bowl of snow-white rice, plus a pile of brightly colored moldy dried vegetables and buckwheat meat, the color can attract people's appetite.On the table, there were also some side dishes for dinner and a few dishes of fresh vegetables, which whetted the appetites of the two who ate too much fish and meat in BJ.

The next day, the two inquired about the burial place of Zhou Xing's ancestors, paid homage to their ancestors, and left the town.After all, the two of them have many other things to do.

Non-stop, the two set off for their next stop, Kunming, Yunnan.Here, the training camp for the new national team is about to begin.
