cut the waves

Yu Yu said that he had to "think about it".

When I thought about it, I thought of the end of the month.The weather finally cooled down, and the whole National Day was pattering.During the seven-day long holiday, teachers of various subjects gave out "National Day Gift Packs" with great enthusiasm, because returning after the festival is the first monthly high school exam.

This monthly exam is very important.After all, compared with the pre-school test, the ranking of the first monthly high school exam can judge whether a student has successfully adapted to high school life.

So much so that on the afternoon of the last day of the long vacation, the "monthly exam cramming meeting" in the multi-functional classroom was extremely lively.The English and Chinese homework assigned by each class may be different, but the math, physics and chemistry papers are all given by the teaching group.The students in Second Middle School have a good foundation. If a few people get together to check the answers, there is a high probability that they will be able to come up with a standard answer.

When Yu Yu arrived, he found that Su Liao was there, as well as many acquaintances from the swimming team.For those who have the right answers, those who rush to find someone to answer the questions at the last second, and those like Wang Xiaopang who come to copy homework.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, do you have an A paper for physics?" Wang Pengpeng ran over yelling, "Brother Yu and his class turned out to be a paper B, where is your class?"

Yu Yu hesitated for a moment, took out his paper, and kindly reminded: "I may be wrong a lot."

Su Liao leaned over and hooked Yu Yu's shoulder affectionately: "Be confident and remove the possibility."

Yu Yu: "..."

"No, no, I just want you to be wrong!" Wang Pengpeng shook his index finger, "Do I dare to copy Liaoshen's paper? If you hand in a standard answer, the teacher will know at a glance that I copied it." He said Grabbing Yu Yu's paper, he began to write vigorously: "Brother Yu is the best, thank you Brother Yu."

Yu Yu: "...You're welcome."

Su Liao kicked Wang Pengpeng's ass with his toe: "Copying homework is not good, Fatty."

Afterwards, he exerted some force on his elbow, and brought Yu Yu to his side, gnashing his teeth in a low voice beside the person's ear: "Why didn't you reply to my message? After so many days, have you made up your mind? I really thought that Yan Zheng would always Wait for you?"

Yu Yu shook off his hand calmly: "Don't bother me, I have an exam tomorrow."

He came today because he wanted to ask a math finale question.During class, the math teacher circled it on purpose and emphasized it several times, saying that if you understand this comprehensive question thoroughly, you can solve several test points in one go.But no matter what he did, he couldn't come up with the right answer.

Yu Yu didn't want to be pestered by Su Liao to ask about Yan Zheng, so he decided to ask Mao Kaijie.Usually he doesn't talk to the students in Class [-] very much, so he doesn't know how to speak. On the contrary, he is more familiar with the students in the swimming team.

Mao Kaijie, at any rate, he was recommended by the No. [-] Middle School for the junior high school Mathematical Olympiad competition. If you ask him, it should be the same?

Yu Yu walked over with the correction book.

Mao Kaijie's math scores are indeed good, but the logic of the lecture is a bit jumpy.Yu Yu listened and thought he was playing Mario to eat gold coins, and after jumping a few steps, he fell headfirst off the cliff.

Seeing that people didn't understand, Mao Kaijie became anxious.As soon as he was in a hurry, he began to apologize frantically.

Yu Yu's head was getting big: "No, no, I'm sorry."

Mao Kaijie patiently explained it three times in different ways. Poor Yu Yu's brain was a mess.The other party blushed for a while, and looked at Yu Yu pitifully: "I'm sorry, do you understand?"

Yu Yu: "..." Sorry, no.

Looking at Mao Kaijie's appearance, he might cry if he didn't understand what he said.His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he nodded very tangled.

Mao Kaijie breathed a sigh of relief, and said to him earnestly: "Yu Yu, aren't you a sports student? In fact, I think that if you don't know the finale, you won't be able to. It's not worth your time. From the perspective of cost performance From a standpoint, you should focus on the base points."

Yu Yu thanked him, returned to his seat with some annoyance, and stared at the big question angrily.He knew that Mao Kaijie had good intentions, but the feeling in his chest was like the idea of ​​solving a problem, no matter how he stroked it, he couldn't move it smoothly.

The three words "extraordinary student" are simply against his scales, and he has been bombarded several times after hearing them.

Su Liao called him from behind, Yu Yu heard it, but didn't want to answer.

After a while, he only felt a soreness and tingling pain in the seam of his left shoulder blade, which was so painful that he almost didn't cry out.Yu Yu exploded immediately, turned around suddenly, and slammed his elbow on the opponent's table.I saw Su Liao holding the Hello Kitty pen, and the two cat ears were very pointed.

Su Liao dragged his cheek with one hand, with an innocent expression on his face: "Hey, do you really understand?"

Yu Yu: "..."

"I advise you not to go to Mao Mao if you have any questions in the future." Su Liao smiled meanly, "I went to the math competition with him, and I would not be able to solve the problems that I would do after discussing them with him. It's like brainwashing, it's particularly scary."

Yu Yu turned his head and glanced in Mao Kaijie's direction. Afraid of being overheard, he cursed in a low voice, "Can't you speak human words?"

Su Liao rolled his eyes at him, got up and crossed the table, and took his correction book from Yu Yu's desk.Su Liao picked up the pen, ticked off the main points in the question stem in twos and threes, and began to explain to Yu Yu.Different from Mao Kaijie, every step of Su Liao is very detailed, and he never skips steps.As long as you follow his problem-solving ideas, everything becomes very clear.

Yu Yu: "..."

This time I really understood.

Yu Yu pulled over his correction book and muttered "Thank you".He rolled his eyes, and looked at Su Liao in puzzlement again: "What are you doing here today?"

Su Liao turned the HelloKitty pen in his hand, and opened the screen on the spot: "The god of learning descends to the world, and saves all sentient beings."

Yu Yu turned back silently.If it wasn't for the sake of Su Liao's explanation of the question to him, he would have directly slapped his face with a book.

"Really, let me tell you," Su Liao said with a smile behind him, "It doesn't mean you understand if you can solve the problem correctly, but you really understand if you can explain the problem clearly to others. Besides, other students have Where there is a doubt, it is likely to be the key point, or a concept that is easily confused. I like to answer questions when I am reviewing."

Yu Yu: "...OK." He doesn't understand the realm of learning a god.

After a while, his shoulder blade was poked by the cat's ear again.

Su Liao lay on the table, half of his face was hidden in his elbow, and he winked pitifully at him: "You don't have any other problems? Can't you?"

Yu Yu: "..." Why is this person so annoying.

After the monthly exam, the first parent meeting in the first year of high school.

Xu Qinglan returned home with a bag of oranges, and greeted her son to eat with a smile like a flower: "Yuyu, this midterm exam ranking... Teacher Ye said that it far exceeded her expectations. She said that after reading your paper, she mainly deducted points. It’s still because the foundation was not good before, and there is still a lot of time, so I can catch up in the future.”

After Xu Qinglan had conveyed all the comments from the teachers of each subject, she began to talk excitedly about other parents, which classmate's father is a doctor of the provincial hospital, which classmate's mother is a lawyer, and she has a special temperament.

Yu Yu was eating oranges slowly while listening.

Xu Qinglan looked at him lovingly: "Is it delicious?"

Yu Yu nodded against his will: "It's delicious."

But he added another sentence: "But don't buy it in the future, I don't like oranges very much."

This green orange is actually not very tasty, neither sour nor sweet, very bland.

"Ah, so." Xu Qinglan smiled, "I went to the supermarket that day and saw you took an orange and put it back. I thought you wanted to eat it."

Yu Yu's heart skipped a beat, as if someone had discovered some little secret.

At that time, he happened to see the kind of orange that Su Liao gave him last time in the supermarket, and picked it up to have a look.He wanted to buy some, but he looked at the price and put it back.Thinking of this, he thought of Su Liao again.Yu Yu broke some oranges and handed them to his mother, and asked casually, "Where's the one behind you? Is it uncle or aunt?"

Xu Qinglan was taken aback: "What's behind?"

"Seat, didn't it mean that the parents will sit in the position of the students?"

"Oh, that's right." Mother Yu tilted her head and thought for a long time before replying, "Your back seat is empty, no one is there."

Yu Yu was a little surprised—Su Liao's parents didn't come?

Maybe my parents are very busy at work.However, my son is the first in the class when he enters the school, and he is still the first in the class in the monthly exam, so there is nothing to tell him.

Xu Qinglan smiled fine lines: "You have a good relationship with the students in the back seat?"

"That's it." Yu Yu rolled his eyes and added, "Swimming together."

When it came to swimming, Xu Qinglan put on a straight face again: "Coach Zhang of your swimming team, mom also met today." She glanced at her son quite reproachfully: "I heard that she specially contacted a provincial team coach for you, Why did you fail in English dictation that day and were detained by Teacher Ye?"

Yu Yu: "..."

Zhang Yanming still doesn't know about Yan Zheng and himself in Pearl Bay.No one in the team knew about it except Su Liao.Yu Yu didn't want to mention it because he hadn't thought about it yet.

"Teacher Zhang said that the coach of the provincial team praised you for being very talented, mainly because he was concerned about whether you could cooperate well with the training. Who is to blame? Those who practiced well before gave up, and this time they were late!" Xu Qinglan sighed In one breath, "Yuyu, this coach, do we still have a chance to get in touch?"

Xu Qinglan rolled his eyes, and asked again: "It's really not possible—didn't there be a coach Liu who looked for you when you were young? Did you look for that one several times? Mom still has his contact information, why don't we go and give someone a red envelope?" ?”

Yu Yu still remembers that when he was a child, Coach Liu touched his head, tricked him into becoming a professional athlete in the provincial team, and bit him when he had a bad temper.After so many years, if you humbly beg others, where will you save your face?There was an unknown fire in his heart, and he lowered his face: "You can pull it down!"

Xu Qinglan frowned, and tapped the table with her index finger: "If you don't enter the provincial team, you won't be eligible to participate in those competitions. Mom is thinking, which of your events this year, you'd better be rated as a "master". Steady."

Yu Yu buried his head in eating the oranges and didn't answer.

"Yu Yu, let me tell you, don't think that your first level is enough. The first level of swimming is worthless. I think the second level is already bad." Xu Qinglan persuaded earnestly, "You have to evaluate before the second year of high school." Master, right? There is no professional teacher to guide you. Are you doing well in grades? The higher the gold content of this award, the better the university you will go to in the future. Mom has suffered from the loss of education in her whole life. Now such a good opportunity In front of you, why are you so ignorant?"

Yu Yu stuffed the remaining orange petals into his mouth, got up and walked into the room, with an impatient tone: "Got it."

Xu Qinglan hurriedly shouted behind him, "You know what you know—hey child—I haven't finished talking yet, come back and sit down!"

Yu Yu slammed the door shut with a "bang".

He didn't turn on the light, rubbed his face with his hands, lay on his back on the plank bed, stared at the dirty ceiling in a daze.He always looks calm, but God knows how confused and anxious he is.

In fact, Yu Yu couldn't tell what he was hesitating about.

Even sometimes, he felt that he was just fighting with a dead person.

His dad taught him how to swim and taught him, by the hand, how to slice the waves with his arms.

His father taught him to be persistent, brave, and a man who is not afraid of difficulties.

His father taught him to challenge his limits again and again——

But he himself never came back.

fraud.

For things like sports competition, the closer you are to the top, the harder it is to make progress.In many cases, even though the gap is only one or two seconds, even a few minutes may be a hurdle that an athlete will not be able to overcome in his entire life.After all, there are only a small number of people standing on the podium, and most unknown athletes have also put in as much sweat and energy with a high probability.

It's just a competitive sport.

does it worth?

Will you regret it?

That day Su Liao said, keep going...maybe at a certain moment, you will see a wider landscape.

Will he have a chance to see it too?A wider, never-before-seen landscape.

The timing pontoon bridge at the finish line of Pearl Beach appeared again before Yu Yu's eyes.When he first entered the water, his eyes were full of the arms of the athletes dancing, or the white splashes of the water.Then, there were only a few people left in his field of vision.Until the end, at the moment when he surpassed Zhefan, his field of vision suddenly widened—the bright sun, the blue sea, and the undulating waves—at that moment, it seemed that the whole world belonged to him.

Yu Yu got up and took a photo frame from the bookshelf.

He came from Huaxi, and he didn't bring anything, except for this wooden photo frame engraved with waves.

In the photo frame was a group photo of him and his mother, but when the photo frame was taken apart, there was an old postcard lying under the photo.This postcard is actually a photo, taken under the sea.The sun shines through the sea, turning into beams of light of different lengths in the deep blue.The Tyndall effect hit a very thin child, wearing diving glasses, floating stiffly in the sea, and under his feet, there was a huge killer whale looking up at the human boy with tenderness and curiosity.

It was the first time he won the Provincial Youth Championship when he was nine years old, and his father took him to the sea to shoot.It was also his first encounter with a giant killer whale.

On the back of the postcard, there is a sentence from my father, the ink is smudged, and the paper is a little yellowed——

"Swim down and meet the light."

Yu Yu sniffed and put the postcard back.

Lying on the bed, he clicked on Su Liao's WeChat again.

For a moment, he wanted to ask him, "Why didn't your parents come to the parent-teacher meeting?"The words had already been entered into the dialog box, and Yu Yu deleted it again.He found Yan Zheng's contact information from the chat history.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and Yu Yu was embarrassed to make a call, so he sent a text message to Yan Zheng——

Hello, Mr. Yan, I am Yu Yu.

Do you think I can recycle it again?

Yan Zheng and Yu Yu made an appointment on the Sunday afternoon of that week at the swimming pool of the Ninghai Junior Sports School, and said that they would take him to experience the rhythm of the training, and then do the individual side by the way.

But on Sunday morning, at 06:30, Su Liao woke him up with a phone call: "Hello? Are you free in the morning? Boss Yan has changed his mind and told you to come over in the morning, starting at eight o'clock."

When Yu Yu heard it, he exploded and almost jumped out of bed: "Then why did you tell me now? Didn't you agree to go this afternoon?"

"How do I know, he changed his mind. He told you to come over in the morning. Hang up, remember to eat breakfast."

Yu Yu's home is not close to the junior sports school, and there is no direct bus, so he has to change to the bus by subway.He was not very familiar with Ninggang City, and the bus accidentally took the wrong direction, so he wasted a little time after such a toss.

"Five minutes." Yan Zheng crossed his arms, looked down at his watch, and said with an ugly face, "What's the matter with you, classmate? Being late is a specialty? Is not disciplined a hobby? One or two is no more than three, and if you are late again, you will be late." Don't let me see your face."

Yu Yu hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

He glanced around calmly, not far away, a row of children lying on the edge of the pool.There is a height difference between the swimming pool and the water surface. The children have their legs on the shore, their bodies are half suspended, and they are practicing "reverse bird flying" with the sound of whistles.Farther away, there is a stack of thick cushions, red and blue, and a group of children are pulling their ligaments, crying ghosts and howling wolves.

Yu Yu looked at this familiar scene with concern.

Yan Zheng put a sports watch on his wrist, and clipped a heart rate monitor behind his ear, and then pointed to a swimming lane: "You are here in the morning."

The pool was very lively. In the swimming lane Yan Zheng was pointing at, there were already six boys warming up. Yu Yu saw Su Liao. He didn't know the others, but it could be seen that everyone was about the same age.Several students in the water are very familiar with the training process, and they keep a stable distance between each other, without the coach giving orders.

Yan Zheng didn't say much, and kicked him down: "Follow the swim. First, warm up at 200m, mix at 800m, splint at full speed at 500m, and fetch water at full speed at 500m."

Yu Yu was always a little apprehensive, determined to behave better when he was on the sidelines.After swimming a set of 2000m warm-up, everyone's tasks are different.For example, Su Liao and several other boys began to practice short and middle distance, while he and several other boys swam two sets of 1500m freestyle.Yu Yu was quite surprised because no one cared about him the whole time. At 11 o'clock in the morning, the training was over, everyone stretched together, and went to the sports school cafeteria for dinner at 11:30.

The cafeteria of the sports school is full of buffets, the taste is not very good, but the advantage is that it contains less oil, rich in protein and balanced in nutrition.

Yu Yu, Su Liao and the young athletes who shared the swimming lane in the morning crowded together at the table.Someone looked at him curiously: "Why haven't I seen you before? Did Yan Zhengxin find you?"

Yu Yu nodded.

"Swimming long distances?"

Yu Yu nodded again.

A few boys look at me and I look at you, laughing and laughing, it's not a big deal.

Yu Yu was a little dazed: "...what's wrong?"

Everyone looked around and confirmed that Yan Zheng was still cooking far away, so you started talking about it.A boy squeezed his throat and imitated the monsters in cartoons: "Master, the apprentice you captured last time has already eaten up, and there are no bones left. I went to find a new apprentice."
