Run Out of My Life

Overcast.

Although they have finished their work in the fields, Su Yuanhua and Ye Qingmei still get up early in the morning, and they have always maintained the habit of getting up early for their long-term work.

I ate dinner in the morning and saw how gloomy the weather was. I could not tell when it would rain, so I am afraid it would be impossible to dry the rice. After a rare free day, Ye Qingmei packed up the housework and went to the neighbor's aunt's house with a half-knitted sweater to ask for some patterns.

Su Yuanhua watched the morning news on a 14-inch black-and-white TV at home. Before long, the old Litou and Hou brothers who knew each other came over to shout and play cards.

In rural areas, everyone is over the autumn harvest, and they are all empty for a while. It is a rare leisure time to catch up with the rainy days and play cards and brag together with familiar neighbors. Not to mention gambling money, playing for thirty or fifty cents, tossing and winning for a few dollars a day, just trying to kill the day.

Su Yuanhua locked the door and went to the lobby of Old Li Tou's house next door. There was a square table and four benches. All the people were ready. A few people took their seats and started playing cards. For a short while, there were other folks who were taking a break and stood on the sidelines, pointing out from time to time.

Su Yuanhua was not in a good mood today. He fought for an hour without losing or winning, making a few onlookers shouting for substitutions.

"Yuanhua, Yuanhua..." A voice called out from outside the door.

"Yuanhua, what cards are you playing, hurry home."

"What's wrong, Third Uncle?" Su Yuanhua didn't understand the situation for a while.

"Yuanhua, the teacher from Suzu School is coming to the house, don't you hurry up and go back." Third Master Xu tore off the card in Su Yuanhua's hand, pulling him to go out .

"What? Is there a teacher coming home?"

Su Yuanhua was slightly startled, his first reaction was whether something happened to this kid at school, and he didn't care to continue playing cards, and trotted out the door with Xu Sanye.

A neighbor villager who had been watching the poker table happily, saw that Su Yuanhua had left beforehand, he immediately laughed, and sat in the empty seat eagerly.

Su Yuanhua trotted to the door and saw a Santana 2000 car for the first time. There are not many cars in Yangping Village these days.

At this time, Santana was struggling to make a U-turn around an open space beside the well. The country road conditions were not much wider than the body, and it was really good to be able to drive the car in.

Beside the car, there were three men standing, two of them wearing suits and trousers, which were quite decent. The other was a strong bearded man in sportswear, and was directing a young man who was driving to turn around.

"The teachers have been waiting for a long time. I am Su Zu's father. What happened to him at school?"

There are teachers in this village who come to visit home, but it is rare. Mainly in elementary school, some families with children who dropped out of school and stopped by the same village, asked a few words of advice about the situation, but it was not really useful.

Most people don't care when they are in junior high school. There are more than a dozen villages in a town, and it takes two or three hours to pedal a bicycle in some remote areas.

If you really want to go home, it's generally not a good thing. Either the child had an accident, or he was punished for violating discipline. Especially the influence of Hong Kong and Taiwan films such as Young and Dangerous in the past few years, many young people did not study well, formed gangs, fought and bullied classmates, and ganged up with rogues in the society, and many were expelled from school and persuaded.

Su Yuanhua's reaction was also the same, just thinking that Su Zu was pretty well-behaved on weekdays, so he shouldn't commit a crime, would it be an accident. Su Yuanhua's heart tensed slightly.

"Oh, you are Su Zu's father, hello hello." Xie Caiwen took the first step, stretched out his hand with a smile and shook Su Yuanhua's.

"Su Zu is in class at school, don't worry, nothing happened."

Su Yuanhua heard the words, looked left and right, and glanced at the car again. He really didn't see Su Zu, so he was relieved.

"Several teachers, what's the matter with you?"

Xiao Zheng, my assistant, I am Su Zu's physical education teacher, and my name is Ao Dingping."

Ao Dingping, who finally directed Santana to turn his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead and introduced a few people to Su Yuanhua.

"Hello everyone, everyone, look at me, hurry up and sit at home."

Su Yuanhua heard that it was the principal of Yangxin Middle School, and there were other people from the city. At this time, Ye Qingmei, who was visiting the door, also received the news, and rushed back, starting to boil water to make tea, and serve melon seeds and dried fruits.

"Student Su Zu's father, since you are only a few years older than us, I will call you Brother Su. My name is Xie Caiwen from Jianping Sports School, you can call me Xiao Xie or Coach Xie It's all done." Several people sat down, Xie Caiwen first introduced himself.

"I don't dare." Su Yuanhua grinned, seemed to have heard Xie Caiwen's introduction, and immediately became a little puzzled, "You are from the city, what... school?"

"Yes, Jianping City Sports School. It's like this, Brother Su, Su Zu, last time in the county's middle school sports meeting, he performed very well, we think he is very sprinting If you cultivate your talent well in this area, you will have a great future in sprinting in the future."

"What do you mean, Xiao Xie... Coach Xie, do you mean you're here to recruit my kid to the sports school?"

At this time, Su Yuanhua understood, what county games was Su Zu going to participate in, and he performed well, and was favored by the people of the sports school. Su Yuanhua, who had no reason, remembered the day when Su Zu asked himself if he would be at home recently, and there might be guests coming. Dare to be such a guest.

Although I usually think that my son loves sports, he runs and jumps all day long, but at most Su Yuanhua acts as a child full of energy and loves to play. As long as you don't overdo it, exercising is fine, but now that a coach from an individual school suddenly appeared in front of him, it still made him feel unbelievable.

"Yes, Brother Su, Su Zu is very talented, and he is the most promising young man I have seen in recent years. We came here this time to talk to you and sister-in-law. We believe that he will have a good future after being trained by our sports school."

Xie Caiwen's remarks were sincere and sincere, as if he was afraid of not being convincing enough, and went on to say, "Our Jianping City Sports School is set up in the Provincial Department of Higher Education, for our city and the province The sports teams here have transported a lot of talents. Various facilities are also relatively good.”

frowned.

"Ah?...You can't study?" Ye Qingmei, who was making tea for a few people on the side, made a movement in her hand, and the boiling water almost poured onto the table.

"You can't do it if you don't go to school." Su Yuanhua's voice increased slightly, "If you don't practice well and don't go to school, it will be a waste of two years, what will you do then? ?!"

National formal sports vocational school. It covers primary school, middle school, and technical secondary school. Every morning is a cultural class, and training is conducted in the afternoon.

"Our country's universities enroll students in sports schools, and many students enter the university as sports students. Although this ratio is not too high, the college entrance examination is also a huge army. It depends on your own efforts. Su Zu is talented in sports, if the culture class is not bad, if he practiced in the sports school for a few years, the hope of taking the university entrance examination is no lower than that of the college entrance examination.”

Su Yuanhua and Ye Qingmei's expressions softened a lot when they heard that they could still go to university. The most fearful thing for parents is that their children have no future. Put them at ease.

Seeing Su Yuanhua and Ye Qingmei go silent, Ao Dingping couldn't help it, "Su Zu's parents, I am Su Zu's physical education teacher, this child in your family is really good Yes, this is an opportunity, don't miss it."

"Sports schools can still take university entrance exams, and I have learned about this." Yang Xiaohe, the principal of Yangxin Middle School, also followed and persuaded, "You also think about it, Su Zu is now in the third year of junior high school. I knew about his grades before I came here. I have to work harder to get into No. 1 High School, but what if I really got into No. 1 High School? Only 20 or 30 people are admitted to key universities in No. 1 High School every year. There are more than 100 people. Moreover, after graduating from college, the country does not include distribution, so it is not certain whether they can find a good job.”

"I still don't really want him to go." Su Yuanhua was silent for a moment, then shook his head again, "This sports school should not be cheap, I was a soldier when I was young, I know this If you exercise every day, you must keep up with nutrition, otherwise people will fail. Our family has no problem eating and reading, but it is still difficult to support an athlete.”

Xie Caiwen heard Su Yuanhua's tone a little loose, and understood what the other party was worried about. He quite understands in his heart that a family must pay attention to the economic aspects.

"Brother Su, you are right, training an athlete is a lot of expense. However, we are a formal professional sports school, the state has policies, the province and city There are grants, and the tuition fees for junior high schools are the same as those of other middle schools. And for those students with outstanding achievements and great potential, if the family burden is heavy, we can exempt tuition and miscellaneous fees. In addition, there are various special subsidies. Go apply. In the past few years from junior high school to secondary school, basically our school has taken care of you. If you get good grades later, you will be recommended to the city team and the provincial team, and you can get wages and subsidies. This treatment can be a little better. "

"Such good conditions?!" Su Yuanhua and Ye Qingmei were stunned.

These days, if there are people going to school in towns and villages, it is still a big burden for the family. Although I can't completely believe that all meals and lodging are included and tuition fees are exempted, it is a lot of money to be able to reduce a large part of it.

"This... let's think about it." Su Yuanhua and Ye Qingmei were also uncertain for a while.

"It's alright, Brother Su, Sister Su, think about it."

Xie Caiwen could see that Su Yuanhua and his wife were a little moved. Even if they had concerns, it was human nature.

The four of them sat for a while, then went out to say goodbye and got into the car.
