old lily no spring

I don't know if it's hard to do it in front of the sponsor, or because a bowl of chicken nuggets made too much noise and lost face, Wu Fang didn't hit Ge Hua.After her second daughter came back with Song Han, she greeted Mr. Lu with a smile, and only took a deep look at her daughter, and then turned a blind eye.

Everyone else had dinner, Song Han and Ge Hua ate alone.What was left for Songhan was a crucian carp, half a bowl of vegetables and a bowl of rice.Ge's painting is four steamed buns plus some pickles and vegetables that can't be seen clearly, which looks like leftovers.Song Han never eats too much for dinner, and the taste is lighter than that of Ge's family. She pushed the fish to Ge Hua, "You are too thin, you can't do without more protein."

Wu Fang, who was tidying up at the door, stopped when she saw it, "Mr. Lu, you are welcome, this is for you. My second girl beats the child with a partial eclipse, and she doesn't like meat. It's the same anyway." In fact, Wu Fang also felt that Slapping her daughter in the office today was a bit harsh, and taking the initiative to explain to her was a sign of her relaxation.

Song Han looked at Ge Hua in surprise, "Really?" Seeing Ge Hua nodding her head, she couldn't laugh or cry, "You grew so tall without eating meat, it's because you have excellent genes. No wonder you ran to the Monk Temple." Thinking of such a big man The young girl huddled in a corner, and she felt pitiful again, "But you know how to eat some soy products, or milk, or eggs."

Ge Hua nodded.She does not resist these, and she is not born not to like meat.只不过解释起来太长太复杂：自己不爱吃肉就像是可怜自尊上的一块遮羞布，只是因为得不到父母同等的爱的可怜孩子，因为吃了弟弟一个汉堡就被拖到院子里揍The half-day child seems to be able to win back a city after giving up eating meat voluntarily.

"When we were young, don't talk about meat, seafood, etc. It's not easy to have white flour steamed buns and fried eggs." Wu Fang was remembering bitterness and sweetness again, and Song Han had heard these words from his grandparents, but the corners of his mouth curled up , "Yes." For Ge Hua, he compared his living standard when he was a child, and for another child, there was no upper limit.It is also necessary to be morally high: children cannot be picky, and if they are picky, they don't know what is good or bad.Song Han sometimes felt that it was boring and sad to see through other people's hidden little thoughts all at once.

After dinner, Song Han went for a walk outdoors to digest food. When it just entered the night here, it was noon on Zhilan's side.Zhilan settled in very smoothly because she had made arrangements in London in advance. When the other students were still dizzy, she had already visited the British Museum and the National Gallery near the school twice.After the punctual □□ call was connected, Zhilan's tone was full of excitement for a new life, "Songhan, I'm going to watch "Matilda" this weekend, this year's popular musical." Another sentence was about to come out, " It’s good that you’re here.” Zhi Lan has never been able to understand Song Han’s decision to delay her postgraduate study for a year and instead come to teach.

"Song Han, when I first met you, I realized that you are different from others. You are too calm, and you have a temperament that is out of the way." Perhaps because of this calmness, Zhilan understands that Song Han has always been firm in her choice, She doesn't need other people's understanding, she will do her best to try and achieve what she wants to do.

The two were chatting about their work or life, and Songhan walked to the gate of Gecun Middle School unknowingly.The teaching building inside was brightly lit, and the dormitory students were already studying by themselves last night.There are not many exits from this cramped small world. It may be the regular train from the urban area to Beijing, Ge Tianbao’s half-new truck, or the Guangci Temple at the foot of the hill at the back of the village. And this middle school.Song Han stood outside the exit and talked with Zhi Lan who was outside for half an hour.

Zhilan had more to say, but Songhan knew she hadn't eaten lunch yet, so she went to urge her, "Don't get hungry, we can still talk on the Internet after eating."

Doesn't Songhan want to go to the university in Westminster?She thought about it.But her major doesn't offer enough scholarships.After all the calculations, the annual board and lodging, transportation and tuition fees, the agency tried its best to save, but it could only be reduced to 50 pounds.RMB [-], which is the total income of my mother who is an ordinary middle school teacher for seven or eight years.Grandma and grandpa said that Songhan wanted to study, so he could sell the old set of small support in the city center, and the old couple moved here to live with Songhan's mother and daughter.My uncle and aunt knew about it as soon as I showed a little bit of talk, but finally let it go because of their strong opposition.Zhilan even thought about asking her parents to help support Song Han, but she was strongly opposed after she raised it with Song Han.Because Songhan didn't want to let his feelings be covered with a complicated funding relationship.Song Han is the same as his mother, with a kind of noble spirit in his bones.

Ge Hua lives in Ge Village in S Province, and Song Han lives in H City, which is the top three in the country.They were both lost and helpless in front of their respective windows, but the comparison was wrong.Song Han thought, his situation was a thousand times better than Ge Hua's.Song Han is faced with the best choice and good choice, while Ge Hua is faced with the extremes of existence and non-existence.She also vaguely felt that maybe the life track between herself and Zhilan would be farther and farther from today - Song Han is a natural pessimist.

After approaching the school playground, Song Han put aside the evening arrangements for the time being, hoping to take a walk in the evening to sort out the fresh few days one by one.Also calm down He Zhilan's mood after parting.Songhan misses Zhilan, but is unwilling to see her off at the airport.There are her relatives and friends there, and Songhan can enjoy a place in the category of "good friends", but it is obviously a couple who have been in love for several years, so it seems absurd to have to do this meaningless scene.Song Han laughed at himself and persuaded that kid Ge Hua to be more slick, but when it came to him, she was too oily to be able to slick.It's easy to talk about others, but Song Han chose to leave when he really wanted to hold back his thick skin.

After wandering around until eight o'clock in the evening, Song Han returned to Ge's house.Bai Shuang, who had already taken a bath, was washing clothes in the pool in the yard, and there were only a few pieces left in her small basin.Standing next to it was a tall Ge Hua, struggling to bend over to scrub something, and there were still tall ones piled up in the basin next to it.The sound of the TV came from the room, and Ziwei was doing homework in the main hall.She looked up at the TV while writing, and suddenly found that Song Han was looking at her, the girl blushed, she bowed her head to the book in shame and never dared to lift it up again.The poor nobleman named "Erkang" kept changing channels with an old remote control in his hand, so he didn't have to do his homework.

"Song Han, I saw you teaching Ge Hua how to play basketball today, I didn't expect you to be good at it." Bai Shuang has never had anything to do with sports, and she would rather play a few games when she has that time.

"I started taking the basketball interest class in high school, and I persisted until college." Song Han said, "Not to mention, I found that Ge Hua is a good seed."

Ge Hua raised her head and smiled at her, then lowered her head and said, "Where is it?" She was washing clothes faster and faster, because there were still homework and homework tonight.Going to bed too late will be said by parents.Just like the eldest sister Yanzi in the third year of junior high school, she was read by her mother at night when she studied at [-] or [-] o'clock. "I don't know what to study at school all day long? I stay home until [-] or [-] o'clock." Where is the eldest sister's dawdling? too much.Ge Hua regretted being ignorant at that time, and enjoyed the temporary comfort brought by the eldest sister as it should, and let her take on most of the housework.If she can help the eldest sister, even if she spends an extra hour of review every day, will the eldest sister's grades be better?This is enough to qualify for the free score line of the Honghu class in key middle schools.Thinking of this, Ge Hua's eyes were a little blurred, she opened them wide, and scrubbed harder.

After Songhan took a shower and changed his clothes, the other two supporting male teachers also returned to Ge's house.Lei Guangming seemed to be in a good mood, and when he saw Song Han, he went to her side, "Song Han," he easily changed his name to "Classmate Lu", "Next week, the city sports school will come to the school to pick someone. Teacher Zou doesn't like it." Say I don’t know yet, this school sends several good seedlings to the city’s sports school every year, and they say they are preparing for the Provincial Games and the National Games.”

Some sports seedlings need to be trained from the age of five or six, while some sports start from the age of twelve or thirteen at the latest.The seedlings selected for Gecun Middle School are the reserve candidates for the advantageous events in the city, such as weightlifting and long-distance running.

Lei Guangguang thought of Ge Hua, who had long hands and long legs, "I think Ge Hua might be picked."

"If Ge Hua is selected, she should be selected out of junior high school." Zhu He thought for a while, "But if she is a little taller, she can practice basketball. There are also many basketball players who can play in college leagues in college. .”

"That won't work. You need to have the qualification of a national second-level athlete to take the test of sports specialties. To get this qualification, you must at least participate in competitions above the city level." Song Han quickly replied.

Lei Guangguang was taken aback, "Songhan, how do you know so clearly?"

"The high school I went to had special classes for women's basketball and women's football. Some students were selected for the national youth team when they were in high school, and now there are still some who play professional leagues and enter the national team, so I know a little bit." One of the "Four Big Eight King Kong" schools in H City.Many students will try their best to improve their resumes. At that time, Zhilan from the same school also wanted to join the basketball team, so he could polish his resume during the self-enrollment.But she is limited in size, and of course her strength is not as good as those students in the specialty class.

What's more, Ge Huadu is 15 years old, and his technical foundation is zero. Basketball is okay as an activity for strengthening the body, exercising thinking and decision-making ability, but it is too late to take a professional path.

Everyone thought this matter was just a casual conversation, but the reason Lei Guangguang was interested was that he hadn't been in contact with professional teams to select talents.In the past, I just heard people talk about measuring height and weight, asking about the physical condition of other family members, and measuring bone age.Ke Songhan put this matter aside, she was more concerned that she would start classes in a week, but she hadn't completed all the investigations of the students in the class.

The novelty of the life of supporting teaching in Gecun Middle School has not completely faded, and she has quickly lost interest in the meals provided by Ge's family.Songhan is a southerner, and every morning he eats Ge’s breakfast of porridge, steamed buns and cakes. He misses small wontons with deep-fried dough sticks, steamed rice balls and salty soy milk, as well as pan-fried buns and big row noodles.Bai Shuang suggested that they could go to the city for a walk when they had time, and maybe they could find a place for tooth sacrifices with a moderate taste.Song Han didn't lose her interest, and finally agreed.

That day, when several young teachers were in the office discussing whether to eat Sichuan cuisine, hot pot, or local cuisine after get off work, there was lively cheers outside.Teacher Liu walked out of the office and looked at the playground downstairs, "Hey, the students from the city sports school are here, and they are testing their height."

They also went out to watch curiously, emerging from the crowded crowd of students, there happened to be a boy measuring his height and wingspan on the spot, and a coach-like man in a sports T-shirt reported the numbers, " The height is 1.8 meters five, and the wingspan is two meters." He couldn't help but glanced at the boy's wingspan and smiled on his face, "What a boy." Then the boy jumped vertically on the spot, and the coach had already So happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he grabbed the boy and asked him several questions, and he kept looking at him after he left the court.

Bai Shuang felt strange, "That boy is not particularly tall, could it be because of his good bounce?"

"There are also many factors such as arm span and height potential." And the boy who was still confused hadn't realized that his life path might have diverged from this moment.

"Hey, Ma, we might have another basketball student here." Mr. Zou had already rushed over with his second daughter from his cousin's family, and Ge Hua still had a pen in his hand.She stared blankly at the person in front of her. She was tall, in her fifties, and the impatient coach's eyes glowed when he saw her.Then Ge Hua was ordered to raise her arms to be measured by others, and she was also asked to try a run-up and take-off to touch the height. When Ge Hua was infinitely close to the backboard, there was an exclamation of "Ah—" in unison on the playground.Let Ge Hua shoot again, and Ge Hua took out a technique that he had only practiced once or twice in the past few days. He made three of three mid-range shots and two of three long-range shots.The pose is still a bit off.

"How old are you?" "How tall are your parents?" "How many brothers and sisters? How tall are they?" "When did you start growing?" Teacher Zou answered all these questions.Then Teacher Ma pondered for a while, and suddenly pulled Ge Hua aside and asked her a question in a low voice. Ge Hua's face turned red suddenly, and he shook his head slightly.

Coach Ma patted his legs, "I want this child."

Ge Hua was dumbfounded. How could he drag her into the eyes of everyone, measure and jump, and then say "he wants it". He is not a cow in the livestock market, so he can leave if he wants to?What Lao Ma said surprised everyone present even more, "This girl has double spring legs."

In fact, the men's basketball team in their city was useless in the Provincial Games, and the women's basketball team lacked a center with suitable size and skills.Isn't this 15-year-old and still growing child a good candidate?It's a bit late to start at this age, but Coach Ma believes that he sees the athlete's eyes: this kid has a suffocating force on his face, and he has a good sense of the ball.

Ge Huayi became the star of the sports school admissions scene.Song Han also predicted from Coach Ma's performance that Ge Hua's life opportunity had also arrived.Several teachers released the pigeons for the first dinner at the same time, and Qiqi returned to Ge's house after get off work to watch the people from the selection team of the city's sports school visit the "vital person" at home.After seeing Ge Hua's mother's height, the head coach Ma knew it well. From the low cost of admission to the prospect of high output, in a word, after Ge Hua learned basketball, he would soon be at least a second in the country. level athletes.Taking the college entrance examination will also be very advantageous. If you are selected for the provincial team, you can be guaranteed to study in a university in the province.There are also advantages in finding a job with a diploma.Not to mention becoming a national team player one day, maybe a sports star?

Although Wu Fang has been in Beijing, she still doesn't know the way of the world of "sports". She was told by the experienced coach Ma that she was dizzy. , the most unpopular second child.

Song Han noticed that Ge Hua was silent, she was huddled in a corner of the yard staring at the weeds on the ground, her body was full of vigilance, confusion, and some fear.Unknown fields, unknown fates, and unknown people came to their home with an unstoppable momentum, and immediately went to persuade their parents after leaving Ge Hua. No one ever asked Ge Hua: Do you like basketball?Want to be a professional athlete?

But she is also sensitively aware that this is a special opportunity for her, and this is God's favor for her body.Also, she loves basketball and she wants to play every day.However, in the eyes of her parents, any love she has is a red banknote, a number on the family's debt, and a kindness to be repaid.Whether to go or stay is not up to her.

Song Han, who also walked into the yard, heard the people inside seriously calculating the accounts in dialect: If your daughter does not pass the high school entrance examination, she will be paid 2000 yuan a month if she goes out to work, or 7000 yuan a year.Becoming a professional athlete and joining a professional team earned at least [-] yuan a month.There are bonuses and subsidies for taking the rankings, free tuition for college, and help with the work of retiring in the future.How many hours did it take you to work to earn that money back?

Ge Tianbao was also called home ahead of time, and he didn't take the initiative to say anything after he heard the purpose of his visit clearly.Except for the matter of giving birth to a son, he is the most resolute. It is related to other matters in the family. He always asks that sentence habitually, "What do you think?"

It’s fine if Yanzi doesn’t get a place in the free Honghu class, let’s go to work, and reduce the burden on the family earlier, what do you think?The second child is definitely out of high school, so go to work in a relative's hot pot restaurant, what do you think?The house in the city has increased by another 500 yuan per square meter. Let’s grit our teeth and let a few people make money to settle this house. We can’t complain about our son’s lack of a house and marriage, what do you think?

Hearing his wife finish the calculation, Ge Tianbao seemed to be facing her, as if he was facing Coach Ma, and also as if he was digging out the difficult account that was deeply buried in his family to other people: "Speaking of it, what will happen in the future?" It’s not sure. You said that the housing prices outside here will fall, but it’s only been a few years, and it’s started to rise again. And the second child goes to a sports school, which is a professional school, and tuition, food, and housing are all expensive. The annual tuition fee is 2 yuan." He stretched out two fingers, and nodded heavily in front of Teacher Zou and Coach Ma, "2 yuan, even if my boss can make money, there are two younger ones below. I still have to study, and my family still owes debts. Where can I find the 2 yuan? What do you think?"

Song Han heard it, Ge Hua heard it, and the heavy silence that spread from the house to the yard.

"Do you like basketball?" Ge Hua heard Song Han ask.

Ge Hua's heart twisted and turned more than a dozen times, and the words were swallowed when they reached his mouth, and then they entered his mind endlessly, and he swallowed them again and again.She suddenly discovered that she couldn't even express "like" directly.

In the end, Ge Hua shook his head with tears in his eyes, "I want to study. Basketball is just a hobby."
