Rebirth Tianyu Tianxiang [Badminton]

With only one month to go before the Olympic Games, some officials of the Chinese delegation have already rushed to the event venue in advance, as an advance team to survey the local hotel accommodation and food conditions in Paris, and make all preparations for the arrival of the large troops.

The flags of each winning team are flying, high-spirited, eager to try, and ready to go.

The members of the badminton team ask for instructions in the morning, mobilize in the afternoon and report in the evening, and the national anthem resounds loudly in the small meeting room where the photos of the world champions are displayed.Closed training within the team, eight hours of training sessions a day, no rest on Sundays.Athletes sweat profusely, coaches yell out their throats, high-intensity and systematic closed training is the guarantee of the results of the competition.

The biggest advantage of closed training is that the athletes are kept collectively in a small environment isolated from the world, shielding all external interference, and thinking about training every day except eating and sleeping, without distractions.

Another benefit is to block the harassment of the media paparazzi from the training compound of the General Administration.

Those reporters who followed up with "Whether Cheng Hui can participate in the Olympics" and "How serious is Zhan Xiang's knee injury?" could only stand on tiptoe outside the iron fence and look around, unable to even say hello.A group of security guards rushed up at the gate repeatedly, blocking the reporter's lens and strictly prohibiting filming. Those who didn't know thought this was a sensitive scene of a mining accident.

Before Xiao Yu entered closed training, he went shopping and chatting with his mother for the last time.Xiao Aiping worriedly told her son about his basic necessities of life again, are the competition suit and shoes suitable?Is the racket easy to use?Are you eating well?You must never eat pork again, you know?

"Mom—how did you become such a nag? More troublesome than Xiao Xiangzi's mother." Xiao Yu put his arms around his mother's shoulder and acted like a spoiled child.

"Xiaohui lifted the ban? Can he go to the Olympics?"

"That guy wasn't suspended at all, it was rumored by people on the Internet. The team is still counting on this little ancestor mixed doubles to blow up!" Xiao Yu smiled nonchalantly.

Mother Xiao frowned and asked: "It's normal for Xiaohui's child to cause trouble, you should pay more attention to him and take care of him...you and Zhan Xiang are on good terms?"

"Well, we're fine. Mom, why did you quit your job at the club? Didn't you do a good job?"

"I don't want to do it in that place."

"What a job, it earns a lot. Besides, we are all acquaintances." Later, Xiao Yu got acquainted with Boss Zhan, and finally knew that the big gold signboard of Yunxiang Club was his wife's name. .

After thinking about it, he summed up: "Actually, it's fine to resign. Mom, I earn a lot of bonuses now, and I will support you in the future. After I finish the Olympic Games, if I have enough money, I want to buy a house in Beijing. Live here now...Mom, you will enjoy the blessing of your son in the future!"

Xiao Aiping rolled his eyes at him, and said with a smile: "Your mother doesn't know how to spend money on a small house, save the money you earn to support your own small family in the future."

Xiao Yu nodded with a smile, the money was to be saved to support the family.Zhan Er Shao's multi-million dollar high-end apartment on the East Second Ring Road has basically become a small nest for the two of them to meet and live together on weekends in recent years. It was about the same, but he always felt that there was still something missing.

If a man wants to hold his head high in front of his wife, he still needs a solid financial foundation, including a house and a car.Having a rich wife is not the ultimate goal, Xiao Yu thinks that the ultimate goal is to become richer than his wife, at least on equal footing, equal in career, so that Xiao Xiangzi is willing to pay him back.

Xiao Aiping hesitated to speak, and finally pulled Xiao Yu to sit beside her, and said solemnly: "Xiao Yu, Mom wants to tell you something, about me... about my personal life."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, and with a flash of consonance, he said happily, "Mom, have you got a boyfriend?"

Xiao Aiping lowered her eyes, her face turned slightly red.No matter how good the relationship between the mother and son is, they talk and laugh on weekdays, talking about everything, but they are still not so open and forthright when it comes to key and important issues such as private life.

"Mom, tell me quickly, are you handsome? What do you do for a job? Mom, you are so beautiful, you have to choose, keep your eyes open and pick the right one!"

Xiao Yu shook his mother and joked, making Xiao Aiping even more uncomfortable: "I'm so beautiful, how old am I, don't make fun of me..."

"Mom, just tell me!"

"Well, I'm just... afraid of affecting your training, I originally wanted to tell you after the Olympics."

"Will your boyfriend affect my training?" Xiao Yu smiled cunningly with his face in his hands, "Hey, mom, you don't think I'm like those in those boring TV series, like those who are so unreasonable. Like the children, how can you stop your parents from going out and develop a love affair? I'm not that vulgar, I'm not that ignorant!"

"no……"

"Mom, if you find a suitable man who treats you well, get married! The key is to treat you sincerely. This is the most important thing. Everything else is false!" Xiao Yu waved his hand with experience.

"Hmm..." Xiao Aiping thought to herself, the key is whether you, Xiao Yu, approve of this person as your father. Whether he treats me well or not is actually secondary.

"Mom, who is it?" Xiao Yu's eyes were wide open, and the eyes radiated with excitement.

"The person you know...is, the head coach of your team, Zhong Quanhai."

Xiao Aiping carefully explored.She saw Xiao Yu's look of joy and anticipation on his face, like the ebbing water, instantly wiped away from the corners of his brows and eyes, revealing a sharp astonishment.

Xiao Yu let out a soft "Oh".

Xiao Ma's heart sank, was it so bad in the first place?She quickly asked: "Xiaoyu, you don't feel well?"

"Oh, no, it's not bad... How long have you been together, Mom?"

"It's not long, maybe a year or two."

"It's been so long? I haven't heard you mention you and Mr. Zhong before..."

"Xiaoyu, do you have any... comments on this person? I thought, I think you two are very affectionate in the game?"

"I don't have a problem with Mr. Zhong." Xiao Yu categorically denied it, and said carefully, "Mr. Zhong is always nice to me and thinks highly of me. I just think...Mom, he usually takes care of me and treats me differently, right? Because of you two...?"

Xiao Aiping pretended to pull the folds of her long skirt, avoiding her eyes.The atmosphere was suddenly silent, and both mother and son were holding back words in their hearts, but both were thinking about whether to shake it all out, whether it would make the other party sad or embarrassed.

"Xiao Yu, I really want to know what you mean. If you think it's bad, if you don't like him..."

Xiao Yu clenched his hands into fists in his trouser pockets, feeling inexplicably irritable: "No, I have no other intentions. Mom, I really hope you can find a man you can rely on for the rest of your life. You and Mr. Zhong know time It’s not long, right? Maybe you don’t know this person well enough... Let’s get along for a while, if you think it’s good, then I, I have no objection.”

Xiao Aiping swallowed the most important second half of the words, without saying a word.

Zhong Quanhai has been busy with the Olympic Games recently, and has no time to take care of his marriage.I mentioned it to her a few times before, we are both middle-aged and married again, so we don't have to make trouble like young people, setting up a few tables of wine on a small scale and greeting our colleagues in the bureau is enough.

Xiao Aiping agreed to Mr. Zhong's marriage proposal, but only if his son nodded in agreement.

If he didn't consider the child's mood, he led his son to Beijing to force Zhong Quanhai to admit his relative three years ago, why would he need to make such a big circle?

Mr. Zhong patted his chest confidently, that kid Xiao Yu would definitely admit that I have treated him well all these years.Among the group of radishes in the team, I treated him the most kindly, and single-handedly built him into the top idol star in the team!The Yuxiang group accounted for more than [-]% of the advertising value of the Guoyu male model team. Every time they went out to compete or participate in commercial activities, the big bosses asked Xiao Yu to appear on camera, serve on the table, toast, sing, and accompany guests. Willing to pay.In short, we will be a family in the future, let’s make money together!

Xiao Yu pondered while walking on the way back to the team.He actually wanted to say, Mom, based on my experience of living through the age of 40 and reading all kinds of men, I don't think Zhong Quanhai is good enough for you.

Mom, why did you choose this person for a long time?

Can't you find a man who is more reliable and can live with you in a down-to-earth manner?

If Zhong Quanhai really became his stepfather one day, he would look up and down in the training hall every day, it would really affect the young master's training and competition mood!It's all caused by joining the national team. If you didn't join the national team in your previous life, you wouldn't have such outrageous things.

He changed his mind and thought again, maybe it's because he has been dependent on his mother all these years, and he has such a perverted Oedipus complex to some extent. A gentle and beautiful mother is always the best, and no one is worthy of it.

I don't have a girlfriend, my mother is my girlfriend.The beautiful and flowery mother suddenly made a new partner, and she kept saying that she should be reasonable, why did she feel so uncomfortable in her heart?

It's probably because the training has been too tense recently, and it's like carrying a huge boulder on the shoulders. It has been a long time since the husband and wife have a chance to relax.Xiao Yu was so tired after training every day that he lay down on the bed, fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, and didn't have the energy and mood to talk to Zhan Xiang.

After the World Championships, the Yuxiang team ranked second in the world ranking.In the next year, he won the BWF year-end finals, the All England Open, the Asian Championships, and the Indonesian Open. The gap with the Pearl King has narrowed to just over 1000 points.

These more than 1000 points are only one step away from the top of the world, within reach.

People say that it will be a matter of time before the Yuxiang team reaches the number one spot in the world. Perhaps in this Olympic Games, they will win another victory over their old rivals from South Korea and completely seize the throne of the ranking list without reservation.

The fateful moment was approaching day by day, the pressure made Xiao Yu unable to breathe, and his heart was heavy.The Olympics is where the winner is the king and the loser is the loser, not to mention the relationship between two people, after the Olympics, they have to cross the threshold that may make the two families jump like thunder in a sunny day.

Before the closed training camp, Second Young Master Zhan also brought Xiao Yu back home to have dinner with his parents.

The family's meal was filled with gunpowder and flames of war.The mother of the Zhan family poked Zhan Xiang with her chopsticks from beginning to end to discuss when to retire, when to get married, and when to have children.

Zhan Xiang buried his face in his rice bowl, only one of the 36 plans, drag!

Zhan's mother's quick-tempered temper in the work unit was choked on by her son's strong aura, which made her mad.This kid happens to be the kind of stuffy guy who has always followed the policy of non-violence and non-cooperation. He can't kick a fart with three legs, and he has ideas in his stomach.

Xiaoxiang, you have such an introverted personality, and you don’t have any friends in your daily life. What if you can’t marry a wife in the future? !

What?talk about it later?Why are you "talking about it later" again!After you won the championship in Hong Kong, you pushed me to the All England Championships. After losing the All England Championships, you pushed me to the China Championships. What kind of doping was created in the China Championships, and then you pushed me to the World Championships. It was finally the World Championships. I won the championship in the race, and you push me to the Olympics again!What are you going to do to me after the Olympics?

What?This Olympic Games is over and there will be next Olympic Games? !

Xiaoxiang, you are already over 26, and you will be 27 the next year after you finish the Olympic Games.Let's take a step back and say, boys, unlike girls who are over 25 and go to the house in a hurry, it is not too late to get married after you are 30, but Xiaoxiang, you are almost [-] and you have never been in a relationship. ?We have never seen you bring girls home to meet their parents. You are such an emotional idiot, what will you do in the future!

"Okay! Can you let the two children concentrate on finishing the Olympics first?" Zhan's father put down his chopsticks with a "snap", tired of listening to the nagging, and his face was very unhappy.

Boss Zhan kept glancing at Xiao Yu at the dining table, thinking that this kid, with his cheeks flushed and puffy after eating, is so cute!As for Gu Guizhi's nonsense about marrying your daughter-in-law, why are you rushing to expose it?There are more important things on my side, and I have been holding back all the time, fearing that the children will feel awkward, isn't it just to let the two sons play well in this Olympic Games without any worries, you really have no eyesight, bother!

"Playing basketball is more important than anything else. I am thinking about my children! Can I play basketball for a lifetime? In the future, Xiaoxiang will be alone after he retires. What should he do if he has no one to accompany him or take care of him? He always has to marry a wife ah!"

Zhan's mother was so anxious that she didn't shy away from Xiao Yu, an outsider, and she was about to burst into tears. Why didn't anyone in the whole family understand her painstaking efforts.

The son is going to go abroad to play a game, and the father of the baby will also go abroad to watch the live game, leaving himself alone at home to guard the vacant room.

No matter how successful a woman is in her career, the beauty in front of outsiders carries half the sky on her shoulders. When she returns home, a wife can't figure out her husband's heart, and a mother can't figure out her own son. The strong sense of frustration and unwillingness makes her His temper was brewing more and more intensely, and his whole body was like a pile of dry firewood lacking moisture.

She didn't know that it wasn't that playing ball was more important than anything else, but that the godson of the Zhan family sitting across the table in front of her was already more important than anything else in the eyes of the two of them.

Boss Zhan wanted to make amends, and Zhan Er Shao would not marry Xiaoyu if it was right or wrong.

Xiao Yu was silent for the first time at the dinner table that day, not bothering to say hello to his godfather, and silently attacked a large piece of bloody Kobe steak with a steel fork and a table knife.He was the biggest eater at the table, slicing up meat, almost cutting the thick pearl-encrusted white china plate in half.

Yes, Xiao Xiangzi is almost 27 years old, and he is not far from the threshold of retiring and getting married at the age of 30. You can see it with a wave of your hand.Whenever Xiao Yu thought of this incident, he had a headache, insomnia, and depression, and his heart was floating in his chest, unable to reach the shore.

The two have been together for so many years, if one day they insist on separating, it will be like this piece of steak on the plate that has been torn apart.

Xiao Yu returned to the training base, and Zhan Xiang was doing physical therapy in the infirmary. He used Chinese and Western medicine combined with herbal medicine, ice packs, and massage in order to relieve the pain of the patella wear and tear from high-intensity training.

When Xiangcao's leg hurts, Xiao Yu needs to help him go to the toilet and take a bath.

Zhanjia's mother's phone call chased the infirmary.

Zhan Xiang ignored the ringtone of the phone several times, but finally answered it helplessly.

"Mom, I know.

"I'm busy, I'm not free.

"Is it okay to talk about these things in the future? I will think about it after I retire.

"Mom, I said no! Don't throw that party for me, don't invite those irrelevant girls to our house!!!"

Standing by the door, Xiao Yu watched Zhan Xiang finally get impatient by the sharp voice on the phone, with a flash of irritability in his eyes, he growled in a low voice: "Okay, Boss Hu's daughter is fine, I think she is the only one Just do it! After I finish the game, I will go back to the blind date, is this okay?!"

Zhan Xiang lay on the treatment bed, and closed the phone with a "snap".In my impression, this was the first time my mother's phone was dropped, although it wasn't the handset that fell but the flip of the phone.He removed the SIM card, threw the phone into the trash can in the corner with a parabola in the air, and his bones ached from the annoyance.

From a certain day, it seems to be that day, maybe because of injuries, because of the tremendous pressure of the Olympic Games, because of all kinds of chaotic temptations after becoming famous, or maybe because of the perseverance of the Zhan family mother, Xiao Yu and Zhan Xiang I couldn't hold back and quarreled several times, the highest record was three rounds a week.

Seven days a week, three days are spent arguing, and the other four days are used to fix things.

Every time they quarreled, it was basically Xiao Yu who picked the head to poke the fire, using cold and violent words to tease the stuffy pot of fire to erupt.The two refused to give in to each other, and both felt that they had been wronged, that they were the doormat for being bullied by the other party.

Lips and skin have become accustomed to each other's texture and heat, and every second of the cold war is heartbreaking.After the quarrel, they will hug each other quickly the next day, apologize to each other desperately, and make love in the most intense way in the mood of guilt and self-blame, to make up for the emotional rift.

Xiao Yu asked: "Zhan Xiang, why would you rather drop the phone than tell the truth to your mother? How long are you going to procrastinate, procrastinate, procrastinate?"

"As long as it can be delayed, it will be delayed until we both retire."

"After retiring? Break up? You should have said it earlier. If you say so, I won't run away. I won't break up with you. If you want to break up, you'll dump me first. I'll wait for you to dump me!"

So the stuffy can exploded, and the two started arguing.

Zhan Xiang tried his best to explain: "I can't have a showdown with my mother now, you don't know my mother, she can make trouble for the two of us on this team! I don't want my family to affect our play, Do you understand Xiaoyu?!"

The next time Xiao Yu continued to provoke: "Zhan Xiang, you get married, you have a few more children, keep a few for yourself, and adopt one for me by the way, I can't have one anyway."

So we started arguing again.

Zhan Xiang was about to be driven crazy by Xiao Yu.Xiaoyu is like a shrew who finds fault and quarrels, and she is also a sharp-tongued, eloquent, and unreasonable little shrew.

When Xiaoyu was having a fit, she would say sharply, "Xiao Xiangzi, let me make a bet with you, no matter how firm the relationship is, I can't help such a persistent mother poaching corners, you will sooner or later raise your hand to your mother, right? After all, the husband can be changed at any time, but the mother cannot be changed. Hurry up and quickly change me!"

When Xiao Yu made an apology, it turned out to be a different face. She looked at each other with love and compassion: "Brother Xiang, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't you get mad at me? I just hope, how long can you hold on?" Years, play a few more years... I know you are seriously injured and your knee hurts, and I also know that I am very selfish, I just hope you can stay with me for a few more years, and don't retire so early, okay?"

Xiao Yu also felt that his state was very scary.

When you are crazy in love, you can't wait to wrap yourself around Zhan Xiang, tear yourself into eight pieces and dedicate yourself to the other party without reservation; when you are mad, you can't wait to pounce on someone, just bite the thing off, look at your mother Do you want to pimp and introduce girls to you again!

Maybe it's because I like a person too much, and the insecurity and worry about gain and loss distort him so much that I almost can't recognize my own appearance.

The sweeter the days of loving each other, the more fearful the twists and turns we will inevitably face in the future.

Every night I lie quietly in Zhanxiang's arms, guarding the person next to my pillow in the dark, a kind of deep and burning pain creeps up my heart along the meridians in all directions, an impenetrable net is gradually tightened, and the atrium is stretched out. bloodstains.

The threshold of the ultimatum time limit is stuck around the neck like a hanging rope.The showdown is a matter of time, and Xiao Xiangzi's procrastination trick will last for a few years.The right to play the cards is completely in Zhan Xiang's hands. At that time, it will either be a showdown with his mother, or a showdown with himself.Mom and lover choose one.

In fact, the Olympic Games is a rope stuck around the necks of many people, waiting for the total outbreak of conflicts.

Xiao Yu imagined being shown off and being dumped all the time, and he was about to infect the team flower with depression.

Zhanxiang was forced by the little shrew next to his pillow to decide to revolt early, and after the Olympics, he dragged Xiaoyu to come out to his parents.

Zhong Zongzhi is full of pride, and when he plans to return from victory, he will relive the dream of Yuanyuan, Xiao Aiping's old lover, and finally get married.

Xiao's mother made up her mind that when her son came back from Paris, she must muster up the courage to tell the truth anyway, and she was about to fall ill.

Zhan Dad intends to let Xiao Yu officially join the harmonious and happy family at the beautiful moment when the two sons return home with honor.

Zhan's mother is only thinking about Xiao Xiangzi passing this Olympic Games, and there is no reason to evade the important responsibility of retiring, getting married and having children!

In the dining room of the canteen of the training base, the two of them had finished another round of quarreling, and each had their meal in suspense, preparing to fill their stomachs and recharge their batteries to finish the afternoon training session, and then went back to the dormitory to continue their quarrel.

Tan Bing has already started to resume training, and his condition has recovered quickly, which surprised the coaching staff.Bing Hua and Cheng Hui poked their heads out from the next door every day to watch Xiao Yu and Zhan Xiang quarrel.These two people are too idle, the fire is too hot, and the energy is too much?

Through the thick glass windows, Xiao Yu saw a lady rushing in from the gate of the compound, and a group of security guards chased after her, preventing her from entering the athlete's dormitory building.Zhan Xiang looked up, surprised, and ran out in a hurry.The woman jumped up and grabbed Second Young Master Zhan's arm, her expression excited.

Xiao Yu threw down the chopsticks in his hand, thinking that this guy was not wronged in the quarrel, a girl has already called to snatch him away?He couldn't hear what the two of them were talking through the window, and suddenly felt that the woman looked kind and pretty, as if he had seen it before?

Xiao Yu suddenly slapped his head, hey hey, the recent quarrels have made his head a mess, and any girl he catches is regarded as an imaginary enemy.

On the bedside table in the bedroom of Second Young Master Zhan's apartment, there was only a photo of a girl, and it was this girl.

No wonder he looks kind, his eyebrows and eyes look exactly the same, isn't this person Xiang's wife's own sister and his own aunt!
