Return to the top of the road to champions

Saturday, September 1989, 7.

At seven o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, Wan Xiaodong, who was slowly leaving home with Geng Erfeng's homemade schoolbag and Tao Wei, dragged his sore body and moved his sore legs step by step.

Tao Wei, whose lips were tightly pursed and his face tensed, whose legs trembled a little due to the increased training intensity, made Wan Xiaodong, who was sore, very happy. Tao Wei, who had ground his teeth, moved his mouth but muttered without missing a word, "Haoyazi."

A line of ridicule that was a bit vague but still clearly audible immediately stopped Wan Xiaodong, who was laughing forward and backward, and Wan Xiaodong, who covered his mouth with a slap, widened his eyes, "You don't bark your teeth, you don't bark your teeth, what are you doing?" Do not laugh."

Tao Wei, who rolled his eyes, hummed twice and continued to walk forward with his swollen legs. Tao Wei, who was freed by Wan Yonggui and Geng Erfeng, had been staring at him since the first day he entered Central Primary School. After entering the spacious ice rink of the Central Elementary School, standing on the civilized ice again and again, the beautiful figure skating dream in Tao Wei's heart kept churning on the somewhat dirty ice.

But as the weather got warmer, let alone skating, the ice surface, which was difficult to slip on, had gradually become uneven with the daily scorching sun.

Standing on the uneven ice surface due to civilization again and again, Tao Wei, who was full of longing in his heart, could feel the desire to jump and writhe in his eager legs every time he closed his eyes.

Sound legs and intact legs are all Tao Wei hopes for in pursuit of his dream of figure skating. After a few days of immersion, Tao Wei finally suppressed his soaring dream and finally withdrew his gaze from the ice.

Tao Wei, who tried to lift his right leg on the first night, found helplessly that his untrained body was as stiff as a piece of wood. Thinking of the pain he suffered when learning figure skating because of his stiff body, his eyes widened. The gleaming Tao Wei has been slowly exercising his young body since that day.

While running in the morning, stretching the tendons, and exercising the flexibility of the body, I also increased my endurance through morning running. In just ten days, although my limbs were sore, and although various parts of the body seemed to be knocked off and reconnected, in the end the year Although small, the body has a youthful softness.

In ten days, Tao Wei has been able to lift his legs on the kang from the initial straightness to shoulder height. Tao Wei believes that as long as he is given half a year, he will exercise his body to be extremely soft and full of toughness.

Figure skating is different from ice dancing. Men are also different from women. They are more than flexible and at the same time pursue a kind of majestic beauty. After two lives, the dream of figure skating has become the deepest obsession in Tao Wei's heart. There is no condition to go to the ice. Then take advantage of your young age to exercise your body's endurance, toughness and flexibility.

Leg presses, shoulder presses, lower backs, splits, apart from morning running, Tao Wei devotes all his spare time to exercising the flexibility of the body. Tao Wei, who pays special attention to the legs, consciously stretches his legs again and again. Slowly press the ligaments of the legs, without being impatient or overly pursuing the effect.

What Tao Wei wants is results instead of pain all over his body. Tao Wei knows that the initial stretching is related to the subsequent stretching training. Every time he stretches the ligament, he will start with the gentlest slow pressure, and use three to 40 seconds each time. In time, stretch the muscles gently, and the slight pain will stop immediately.

Although the conditions are limited, Tao Wei, who has undergone strict and systematic training, knows how to exercise. The one-and-a-half-hour compulsory class every day is always after warming up. Ankles, legs, crotch, instep, every place and every body Tao Wei is extremely serious about the details.

This kind of Tao Wei made Wan Xiaodong, who lived in the same room with Tao Wei, very happy. After watching it for a few days, he found that the funny Wan Xiaodong also followed Tao Wei under Tao Wei's conscious bewitchment.

While Tao Wei was exercising Wan Xiaodong, he was also slowly observing Wan Xiaodong. The stocky Wan Xiaodong was different from the slender limbs and well-proportioned Tao Wei. From the perspective of body proportions, Wan Xiaodong's upper body was shorter and his lower body was longer, and The legs are thick, and the powerful legs are extremely explosive. They are definitely good seedlings for short track speed skating.

But Tao Wei is in a dilemma. The road of sports competition is too difficult. Tao Wei, who has experienced it personally, understands that the athletes who dedicate their best years to sports have a proud heart besides the pain. Many athletes have to face the dilemma of age and difficulty in choosing a career. How many athletes leave the arena and spend their entire lives in obscurity, and how many athletes can't be in the hearts of the world even if they spend their best youth on the training ground. Leave a trace.

Tao Wei was afraid that after Wan Xiaodong was brought into sports competitions, what Wan Xiaodong would leave was not glory but pain. Moreover, from the words of Wan Yonggui and Geng Erfeng, Tao Wei understood that the kind couple I have very simple expectations for Wan Xiaodong, not asking for promotion or getting rich, as long as I am safe and sound.

But what is lacking in sports competitions is safety. Tao Wei, who was tossing and turning, began to try to avoid Wan Xiaodong, but what Tao Wei didn't expect was that a week later, Tao Wei, who was standing on the school playground at five o'clock in the morning, was actually jogging. After a circle, I saw Wan Xiaodong with his eyes wide open and his face full of displeasure.

At that moment, Tao Wei's heart was complicated, and he was still running on the playground without saying a word, listening to Wan Xiaodong's nagging complaints running beside him, Tao Wei stopped in his tracks.

A pair of quiet eyes choked back Wan Xiaodong's nagging, "Brother, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Panting slightly, Tao Wei's hoarse question stunned Wan Xiaodong, "What do you want to do?"

The doubt on Wan Xiaodong's face made Tao Wei smile, he turned around and stretched out his arms facing the rising sun, "Brother, I want to skate, I want to be an athlete, I want to stand on the world's highest stage It is my dream to show the most beautiful figure skating in China, and I will work hard for this dream."

In the hoarse voice, Tao Wei burst out with all his confidence, so dazzling that Wan Xiaodong couldn't take his eyes back. Even after a long, long time, looking at Tao Wei standing on the highest podium in figure skating, Wan Xiaodong would be surprised. Still can't forget the dazzling light that the thin Tao Wei burst out from today standing on the simple playground.

After saying this, Tao Wei, who threw off his arms, continued to run on the rough runway, exhaled and inhaled, and Tao Wei, whose eyes were shining brightly in the long breath, landed steadily on the runway with firm steps, one after another, In his unwavering belief, Wan Xiaodong didn't know when he left, but Tao Wei, who was just staring at the front, didn't turn his head to take a look at the suddenly depressed back.

However, after half a month of silence, Wan Xiaodong stood on the playground again. This time, Wan Xiaodong, with stars shining in his eyes, raised his head and looked at Tao Wei. Tao Wei smiled helplessly Tao Wei, who was full of complexities in his heart, smiled bitterly, but looked at Wan Xiaodong who refused to admit defeat. With the figure following closely, the helpless Tao Wei stopped Wan Xiaodong from continuing to follow.

When Wan Xiaodong was about to get angry, Tao Wei had a serious talk with Wan Xiaodong, learning first, training second, no matter what you can't fall behind in learning, after Wan Xiaodong promised that he would never fall behind in studying, Tao Wei handed it to Wan Xiaodong. Wan Xiaodong's training schedule.

Different from Tao Wei's flexibility training, Tao Wei, who formulated detailed explosive training for Wan Xiaodong, explained it to Wan Xiaodong one by one, and Tao Wei didn't let it go until he broke it up and confirmed that Wan Xiaodong understood everything. Concerned, in the days that followed, Tao Wei found that no matter how tired the training was, Wan Xiaodong really did not stop studying as promised at the beginning. The daily homework was completed neatly, and the small movements of the past were gone in class, as if all of a sudden The grown-up Wan Xiaodong made Tao Wei feel uncomfortable, and asked again and again until Wan Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said that he underestimated people, and Tao Wei, who couldn't help but laugh, realized that he really underestimated Wan Xiaodong.

No matter how tangled it is during this period, time will not stop its progress because of one person's tossing and turning. In the slow passage of day after day, a semester is coming to an end, and after more than three months of exercise, the body's ligaments have been initially strengthened. Tao Wei who pulled away re-established the training plan.

The gradual training made Tao Wei thinner and taller, but Tao Wei, whose body proportions became more and more symmetrical, was a little dissatisfied. While increasing the training intensity, he also led Wan Xiaodong forward steadily.

But the busy Wan Yonggui and Geng Erfeng put all their minds on the small restaurant except seeing that the two children had grown up and adapted. Wan Yonggui and Geng Erfeng were so busy that they couldn't even eat.

But no matter how many people eat, there is always a room reserved for Zhang Guodong. Even if Zhang Guodong does not come, the small room will be empty, and the meal money is not collected as Wan Yonggui said at the beginning. This made Zhang Guodong amused and at the same time maintained the small restaurant more and more.

The special flavor and the low price make the small restaurant have constant customers every day. A pot of fish in sauce soup costs ten yuan. The family of four is full, not to mention that there is still leftovers. Such a good place has only good taste in the whole county and even the whole city. One family, a carload of cheap big carp and crucian carp melon seeds in Dawangtun were sent to Wan Yonggui's small restaurant in a steady stream, which blocked the gossip of the whole village and at the same time gave hope to the young and old in Dawangtun.

And as the weather improved, Geng Erfeng, who became more and more skilled, was trained by Tao Weiwei consciously, and he was good at frying, frying, frying and frying. Jiangyu and stupid chicken farm dishes, as long as there are some in Dawangtun, there is no small restaurant that does not sell them. All of a sudden, there were fewer people gossiping about their wives in Dawangtun, and more people were working instead.

Comparing my heart to my heart, the entire L county is full of fishers and farmers, but Wan Yonggui would rather travel a long way to collect those from Dawangtun than a village away from Gengjiazhuang. At the same time as I hope, I also pay more attention. The freshest, largest, and even clean ones are not limited to one family. As long as they are fish and vegetables from Dawangtun, they will be delivered to Wan Yonggui continuously through Chen Dafu's hands. It was hot, and fearing that the fish on the road would be spoiled, the old and young men of Dawangtun would rather go twice a day than send stale fish to Wan Yonggui.
