Rebirth Tianyu Tianxiang [Badminton]

City Railway Station.

Xiao Yu used his elbow to squeeze out a little space for his thin body, swallowed a mouthful of stale hot air, and then coughed it out softly.

In the frothy air in front of my eyes, there is the smell of sweat, dust, all kinds of low-quality leather and nylon, and the thick and greasy smell of steamed mutton.

In the vortex of years of memory, the taste of hometown.

On his left is a quilt that is higher than his shoulders, tied up and down with plastic ropes.A fellow countryman was sitting on the ground, leaning against his parcel and taking a nap, with two touches of blush on his face that many people on the Loess Plateau have.

On the right hand side was an aunt holding a child, her fluffy waist rubbed against Xiao Yu's crotch, and the little baby in her arms dripped a line of saliva from the corner of Nunuuo's mouth.

Xiao Yu stared blankly at the drop of saliva, followed the doll's breathing, and trembled up and down, and finally couldn't help the effect of gravity, the flow stopped, fell, and dripped on Xiao Yu's arm with a thud.

The fine hair on the arm trembled slightly, attracting his attention.

Xiao Yu looked down at his own hands, and couldn't believe his eyes.

The skin on his hands has become much more delicate and compact, and the joints are as strong as they were 20 years ago.Slightly protruding light blue blood vessels appeared on the snow-white arms, which were the marks left by years of training.

Haven't touched the beat in ten years, and don't even bother to go to the gym.These two arms of my own should have been swollen and bloated into two ham sausages long ago, how could they be compared with that high-spirited young man back then.

The loudspeaker above the head fiddled with it for a while, and finally made a human voice.

The tone of the lesbian in the speaker is still clear and high, but the speaker is obviously old and is about to hang up.

"Passengers, please pay attention, passengers, please pay attention, passenger train T331 bound for Beijing is now starting to check tickets..."

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu! Don't look around, it's time to go!"

Amidst the noisy snoring, scolding, footsteps and radio, Xiao Yu suddenly heard a familiar call.

That was directed by Wang Anwang, his first coach.

"Xiao Yu, have you got the ticket? Don't lose it." Wang An caressed his forehead with the palm of his hand, and did not forget to whisper: "Have you got the money your mother gave you too? Don’t drop it in the car!”

"Wang Zhi..."

Xiao Yu just opened his mouth, looking at the very familiar face in front of him, he was speechless.The two eyeballs were blurred with water mist, and Wang An's face was blurred in the mist into a patch of uneven memories, as if it had been a lifetime ago.

Wang An should be in his 60s and retired from the Provincial Sports Bureau, because he was busy training in the team all the year round, busy with these little kids, didn't eat on time, and got stomach problems.Three-quarters of the stomach was cut later.This old man is actually pretty solid, and he can still live happily and toughly with a quarter of his stomach, anyway, he doesn't eat much.

Xiao Yu went to Wang An's house to visit his mentor two years ago, and brought Wang An two pairs of sneakers, three pairs of rackets, and several large bundles of strings.Xiao Yu doesn't suit anything else, just these messy, worthless things.

Wang An's hands were exercising too much when he was young, and when he got old, the protruding blood vessels were all floating on the thin, wrinkled skin covered with light yellow spots, which looked like a few lines hanging from the bed of the dry Yellow River. Qinglong.Xiao Yu knew that it was "athlete's disease".When I am completely old one day, I will end up in the same sad appearance as Wang An.

"Xiao Yu, what are you in a daze for? Don't think about it, isn't it the first time you go out on your own! It's okay, ah, don't be afraid, it's okay!

"This time I bought a sleeper ticket for you. Although it is a regular express and not an express, it is a bit slower, but the sleeper is comfortable! ... I will tell the team leader later that the bureau will reimburse you!"

Wang An is like a father, comforting his shy young son who has never seen anything in the world.

In those days, coaches in sports teams were like this.Parents entrust their children to the team, and the coaches are the parents of the dolls. They eat, drink, and sleep every day, morning exercises and evening self-study. They must listen to the coaches in everything, only the coaches, and only the coaches.The children themselves don’t know anything, and they don’t understand anything. Every time they go out for a cross-provincial competition, it’s like a group spring outing. The hen spreads her wings to protect her chicks, and it feels like a group of chicks are following behind her buttocks.

"Xiao Yu, you have entered the national training team this time, you have to fight hard, don't turn your head back two days later, you know?" Wang An's palm slightly pressed against Xiao Yu's weak shoulders. I squeezed, trying to put some pressure on the baby.

After pinching, he felt that his hands were too heavy, or that the child was born with a bad body, so he couldn't help adding: "Practice your body well! The national team's food is also fully covered, so you don't have to pay for it yourself." , after entering, you will eat hard for me! This little arm is so thin..."

Looking at Wang An's tough face, which was 20 years younger, Xiao Yu suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Wang Zhi, you mean the national training team?"

"Yeah! What's the matter?"

"I entered the national training team?"

This time, Wang An directly slapped Xiao Yu's cheek with his palm, and growled in a low voice: "You kid is hysterical?! Didn't you join the training team! Didn't you get notified a few days ago? What! What's the matter with you, you don't want to go?"

"...How did I get into the training team? How did I get in?"

Xiao Yu murmured to himself, and touched his face that hurt a little from the slap.

He has the deepest relationship with Wang Zhi. Ever since he dropped out of elementary school and entered a sports school at the age of ten, it was Wang An who took him all the way.He joined the provincial sports team from Baoshan Sports School, and Wang An was also transferred from the sports school coach to the provincial team as a coach, so he still took him with him.

He has always regarded Wang An as a godfather in his heart.

When Wang An loses his temper, he never hesitates to slap him a few times, or give him a kick on the baby's buttocks, and even put it in a good name: Your baby's reaction is so slow, I am helping you practice your footwork. Mention speed!

Parents at that time may have such a virtue that they felt that children would never become talents if they did not fight.After the fight, there may still be a glimmer of hope, but if you don't fight, it will be completely useless!

Wang An also obviously talked a lot today: "Hey, you kid... the coach of the national team has taken a fancy to you, and you are not happy to pick a few potential seedlings for this Olympic cycle to train in Beijing? Our team Dozens of children are eagerly looking forward to going, chasing and chasing, but they just picked you!"

Xiao Yu seemed to be in a cloud, his heart was floating and sinking in his chest, and he couldn't find this shore or the other shore.

I entered the national training team?

I entered the national training team!

He started playing at the age of ten and played for 20 years, until he was too old to play anymore and retired from the provincial team. He has never been lucky enough to get involved in the national team in his life.

Of course, the national team never attempted to get their hands on him.

He wandered between the provincial team and the city team, and launched a tenacious impact for the tied No.3 again and again in the National Games!

Until time wears away and fills up the bubbling blood and ideals of youth, inch by inch.

If he could live his life again, Xiao Yu wanted to train harder and work harder, even if he broke his arm.

What you can't get is the best, and what you never get is what you desire most in your life.For Xiao Yu, he really wants to enter the national team in his dreams!

But why did he suddenly join the national training team?

I dreamed of going in, but I didn't even dream about it, but I actually went in!

He obviously lost that National Games, and finally fell on the iron threshold of the quarter-finals, which was an iron threshold that could not be overcome for a thousand years, and did not make it into the top four.The National Games at that time was equivalent to the national trials. His crooked and weak seed had no chance to flash into the shrewd and vicious titanium alloy eyes of other national team coaches.

"Wang Zhi, I, I thought, I thought I wasn't picked, I lost that time..."

"If you lose that game, you lose it. Are you still thinking about it?! You child is too serious! Don't think about it!"

Wang An really thought Xiao Yu was still immersed in the psychological burden of being scolded by the leader for losing in the National Games.This kid was originally the No. [-] doubles player in the province, so he didn't know how to make it to the quarterfinals. If he wins, he's earning money, and if he loses, he won't be ashamed.Don't listen to the nonsense of the leaders of the Provincial Sports Bureau. Those people know that they care about the children's grades and grades. They know nothing about badminton!

Xiao Yu couldn't help but asked again: "What about Cheng Hui, has he also entered the training team?"

"Cheng Hui didn't. You're the only one this time!"

"He didn't enter? Who am I going to partner with?"

Xiao Yu played men's doubles.Cheng Hui is the child he has been pairing with since entering the provincial team.

Wang An scolded: "You silly boy! Don't take such an active role in managing others, just practice after entering. When the time comes, whoever the coach thinks you are a suitable pair with, you will be paired with whoever you are! Why do you care about Cheng Hui!"

"But... oh..."

How could he ignore Cheng Hui?

Xiao Yu knew that that brat Cheng Hui had the same thoughts as him, sleeping on the bunk every night, and when he turned over, he kept muttering: When will he have a chance to enter the national team, when will he be able to go abroad to play...

Cheng Hui later retired with him, and his life was not very good.

A retired provincial athlete with no reputation, no money, no family background, no "relationship", no education, and no culture.

The two were separated and combined together, and they were quite entangled for several years.There was a quarrel that moved hands and broke the phase.The two elderly men lost the passion they had when they were young, you love me and I love you each other, and they can no longer hold back the face to make peace with each other.After that, Cheng Hui went to work somewhere in the south. After so many years, he completely lost track of him.

Cheng Hui, cough...

For such a big thing as entering the national team, the quarrels and grudges have long been forgotten.If you can go to Beijing with Cheng Hui at this time, it will not be in vain that the two of you were childhood sweethearts, supporting and encouraging each other, and practicing hard for so many years.

The big clock in the waiting room pointed to noon.

Dust everywhere dances in the sun like no one else.

Xiao Yu understood at that moment.

He was reborn.

He went back 20 years ago, when he was 19 years old.

What was so proudly and extravagantly placed in front of his eyes was actually a good time that had already passed away!

Xiao Yu stood up suddenly, his eyes were red, his breath was short of breath: "Wang Zhi, I have to call my mother."

Wang An wondered: "What call are you making? Didn't you just come out of home this morning! Didn't you say that your mother couldn't get a leave of absence at work, so she couldn't come to the station to see you off!"

"I, I have to make a call, I really want to make a call. Do you have a mobile phone, please lend me it!" Xiao Yu subconsciously touched his back pocket, but he couldn't find what he needed.

"Mobile phone? I don't have a mobile phone!" Wang An felt that the child definitely had a fever today. Has he never been to Beijing since he was so old? As for you, you have become so confused!

By the way, Wang An never carried a mobile phone in his pocket on weekdays, and he didn't like those high-tech bells and whistles the most.Xiao Yu shook his head with a wry smile, asked the coach to look after his luggage, and ran out of the waiting hall to look for a public phone.

Xiao Yu stood in the phone booth, his hands trembling, and he dialed several numbers indiscriminately.

The first time it seemed to be the warehouse of the Municipal Grain Bureau, there was shouting in the background: Rats!There's a big rat that's too stuffed to move!Get a washbasin quickly, buckle it up, buckle it up! ! !

The emergency department of which hospital was dialed for the second time, and the nurse shouted in a sharp voice: Didn’t I tell you, take a deposit of 5000 yuan, our hospital can’t save you without the deposit!It's not that we don't want to save you, it's that our department doesn't have so many places to save you without paying for medical treatment!You don't call again!

The third time I dialed a private house, an old lady scolded him slowly: "Little young man, you are an Amway MLM, right?! I can tell you, my son is from the police station! If you don't learn well at a young age, you will arrest him later. You!" With a slap, he hung up hard.

The coins in his trouser pocket were almost used up, and someone outside the phone booth was already smashing the glass with his fist. It took him the fourth time to finally dial the correct number.The number that has been memorized for decades should be like the scarlet letter on the stone tablet, the bronzing on the plaque, engraved in the mind, how could it be forgotten in a blink of an eye!

A warm and warm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello? Who are you?"

It's his mother.

"Mom..." Xiao Yu called out softly, as if he was afraid of frightening his mother.

"Yo, Xiaoyu? What's the matter, haven't you left yet, the train is already on time!"

"Well, I'm leaving soon, I think..." Xiao Yu's nose suddenly became sore, "I want to hear your voice."

"Hey, look at you child... Hehe, I miss your mother before I go far!"

"Mom, I'm in the national team."

"Ok!"

"Mom, I, I'm in the national team, I'm in the national team, I'm in the national team..."

Tears welled up all at once, teardrops the size of beans rushing, and escaped from the eye sockets like a flood.Xiao Yu tightly pursed his lips, not letting himself cry out.

I want to win my mother's breath, and I want my mother to live a good life.

I don't want his mother to be pointed at by others in the factory: so who, did you see that tall woman, who walks with her crotch twisted, and especially likes to wear shorts, those shorts are so short that it is embarrassing look at her!Before she got married to their family's old Zhao, she had a child... Don't you know, it's still a son, and I don't know who didn't want it! …Her son was a badminton player, and he didn’t do much later. He didn’t make a name for himself. After retiring, he didn’t have a job and couldn’t go to college. He worked in a factory that sells sneakers and insoles...

Xiao Aiping said unhurriedly on the phone: "What's the matter with you, Xiaoyu? Of course your mother knows that you have entered the national team! Also, isn't that the national training team? It is the official national first team! Don't be complacent, practice hard when you go to Beijing, and work hard to improve!"

"Well, I see."

"Oh? The tea eggs I cooked for you in the morning are all wrapped and put on the top of your schoolbag. Don't crush them. Remember to eat them on the train and save them for the next day But it's broken!"

"Well, I must eat it."

Xiao Yu quietly wiped away the tears hanging on his cheeks, and nodded vigorously to the figure in front of the glass door of the phone booth carrying big and small bags on his shoulders and shuttled back and forth.

Wang An yelled at the figure of Xiao Yu who was rushing back: "Hurry up, you boy, you almost missed the car! What are the ink stains doing? If you are playing at the national team, if you run at such a speed, why don't you go out and give it to me?" I am ashamed of myself!... Hurry up and check the tickets!"

"Oh, um... Wang Zhi, then I'm leaving now. Goodbye!" Xiao Yu pulled up his luggage, put on his backpack, and stood at attention squarely.

"Wait!" Wang An didn't know how to conjure two red ham sausages from his body, unzipped Xiao Yu's schoolbag, and stuffed it in at the last gap, "here, save it for the road! Drive slowly, don't starve you..."

Shuanghui ham sausage was sold for one yuan and fifty cents at that time.Xiao Yu liked to eat it when he was a child. When he was having supper in the sports school, he was used to eating instant noodles, and he ate delicious ham sausage full of starch.

"Thank you! You have worked hard!" Xiao Yu said sincerely.

"Hmph..." Wang An didn't know why this kid was so strange today, he was still as introverted as before, he didn't like to talk, he opened his mouth occasionally, and there was a fucking look that didn't match his age. Deep energy!

"Wang Zhi, don't worry... I won't let you down!"

Wang An looked up at him, and his eyes suddenly turned red: "Practice hard, you boy! We haven't produced a single one who can enter the national team for ten years. You are the first one under my hands... you just Remember, you failed to enter the training team in the past two years, not because you played badly, do you understand! It’s not because your ball is not as good as them! I always think that you have the ability to play for the national team of!"

"Ah."

Wang An rubbed the back of his head with his big warm palm, leaned his head down and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about it... If you don't get along well, just roll back quickly! You're back I still want you anyway!"

"Ok!"

Outside the dirty double-glazed car window, Wang An waved at him nonchalantly, telling him to "go fast".

The tall figure of the coach became smaller and smaller on the platform until it was blurred and did not move.

Xiao Yu sat on the sleeper, put his schoolbag in front of him, and took out five tea eggs and two ham sausages from the plastic bag.The tea eggs have a strong smell of pepper and aniseed, mixed with the fragrance of scented tea.

With his front teeth, he gnawed in small bites, a tea egg, and a ham sausage, smacking the most familiar and intimate taste in his memory.

I am reluctant to eat too fast, for fear of missing a bite.

Clenched slightly thin fists, nails dug into the softest flesh of the palm.

I secretly shouted in my heart.

Xiao Yu, come on!
