The next day.
In the morning.
The training continued.
However…
Ma Zhuo didn't make a fool of himself again. Although he still couldn't keep up with the pace of the sports school students, he could complete all the training programs arranged by Zhao Guofu normally.
At noon.
After the training, Ma Zhuo walked to Wang Ling and said,"Teacher, can I use your phone? I want to call home."
"Alright."
Wang Ling took out a small grey phone from her pocket.
It was a sliding cover of a nokia7100.
"Thank you."
Ma Zhuo's house didn't have a landline, but his neighbor had one.
When he was young, he even ate at his neighbor's house.
Their relationship was very good.
Ma Zhuo remembered the phone number and called it directly.
After four or five rings, the call was connected.
"Hello, who is it?"
It was a familiar voice.
" Grandma Xia, it's me," Ma Zhuo hurriedly said." Is my mom home?" Can you help me call it?"
"Xiao Zhuo, alright, alright, call back in three minutes.”
With that, the other party hung up.
Ma Zhuo held his phone and looked at Wang Ling in embarrassment."I don't have a phone at home. I have to ask the neighbors to call my mother. It'll take a while.”
"So be it. You brat, why are you being so polite with me?”
Wang Ling was displeased.
Ma Zhuo scratched his head and didn't say anything else.
On the other side.
Zhang Yumin had already arrived at Grandma Xia's house. She stood by the phone and was a little nervous.
"Yumin, where did Zhuo go?" Grandma Xia asked curiously.”
"Shangdu, he said that he will represent our Nanhe Province in the National Middle School Games and will train there.”
"Whoa, you're representing our Nanhe Province.”
At this moment.
The phone rang.
Zhang Yumin quickly picked up the microphone.”
"Mom, I'm Xiao Zhuo."
When Zhang Yumin heard the voice, tears welled up in her eyes."Hey, how are things over there?"
"Very good! Mom, don't worry. I live in a double room here. There's a bathroom, a balcony, and air conditioning. The food is free. You can eat as much as you want.”
"How was the training?”
"I'm not tired. I trained for a whole day yesterday. I only trained for a few hours. I can even take a nap at noon.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yumin was relieved."That's good. You have to take good care of yourself over there. If you really can't adapt, come back.”
"Don't worry, Mom."
"Oh right, Mom, isn't my dad in Shangdu too?" Ma Zhuo asked. Which construction site? I'll visit him during my break.”
"Your father is no longer in Shangdu. He called last time and said that he went to Mount Song.”
"Oh, Mom, I'm using Teacher's phone. I'll hang up first. I'll call you next time.”
"There's no need to keep calling. I have nothing to do at home, so don't trouble others.”
It was not that Zhang Yumin did not want to talk to her son, but she did not want to trouble him too much.
Ma Zhuo was also aware of this. He wanted to install a phone at home as soon as possible and buy a mobile phone for his parents.
"Mom, I'll hang up first."
"Yes."
After hanging up, Zhang Yumin put down the phone."Auntie, sorry to trouble you."
"What's the trouble? It's just a matter of taking two steps in the front and back. I watched Xiao Zhuo grow up.”
"This is nothing. I'm just going out for a run. I'll go back first.”
"Yes."
On the other side.
Ma Zhuo returned the phone to Wang Ling. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Ling spoke first,"Don't talk about the phone bill. I told you not to use your phone next time.”
Ma Zhuo:
Then, the two of them walked in the direction of the cafeteria.
They chatted as they walked.
"Teacher, is there any bonus for the middle school sports meet this time?”
"Of course! If you win the championship, the province will give you at least 10,000 yuan as a bonus. If you can break the record, there will be a record-breaking prize.”
"10,000 yuan?"
Ma Zhuo's eyes lit up.
Although it wasn't a lot, it was still a considerable amount of income for their family.
Therefore…
Ma Zhuo had to win the championship.
......
A few days later.
The deputy head of the delegation, Wang Qiangdong, and the leader, Xue Yue, came to the track and field field together.
He looked at the training of the sprinters.
They were especially concerned about Ma Zhuo.
He was the most promising candidate to win a medal in the 100m sprint at the Chinese National Games.
That was the greatest treasure of the delegation.
On the sidelines.
Xue Yue looked at Ma Zhuo who was frog-jumping and asked with concern,""Coach Zhao, how's Ma Zhuo's training?”
"Very good. This child is very persistent. Although his foundation is the worst, he can complete all the training. He even practices on his own during breaks.”
Although Ma Zhuo and Zhao Guofu had some differences.
For example, when it came to running, Zhao Guofu had no opinion on him at all.
Therefore, the evaluation was very high.
"That's good!"
Xue Yue nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask,""Did you take the test? How are your results now?”
Zhao Guofu shook his head." It's only been a few days. The team members are barely adapting to high-intensity training. It's not the time to improve their results yet."”
What he meant was that Xue Yue was too impatient.
"I was too impatient!" he said, blushing.”
At this moment.
" Coach Zhao," said Wang Qiangdong," we must first ensure Ma Zhuo's performance in the individual events, and then the group events."”
Although 4×100 meters was also very important.
However…
This was a test of teamwork and skill. Although Ma Zhuo was strong, it was difficult to change anything.
Therefore, Wang Qiangdong hoped to make a breakthrough in his individual events.
" Don't worry, Chief Wang." Zhao Guofu nodded." I'll do my best to improve Ma Zhuo's performance."”
"When is the internal test? We'll come and take a look when the time comes."
"In another two weeks."
"Alright, let us know when the time comes."
After the leader left, Ma Zhuo took advantage of the gap in training and walked up to Zhao Guofu.
"Coach!"
Zhao Guofu looked at him angrily."What are you doing?"
"Hehe, may I ask if our participation quota is fixed?”
"Why are you asking this?"
"Well, I heard that there's a bonus for the champion, so can you sign up for the 200m sprint?”
Zhao Guofu was speechless.
"Don't even think about it. Your biggest task now is to make a breakthrough in the 100m sprint. If you want to divert your attention to the 200m sprint, even if I agree, the leader will not agree.”
Ma Zhuo's anticipation instantly disappeared.”
"You brat, don't keep thinking about these things. Hurry up and go train.”
"Yes, sir."
Ma Zhuo trotted back to the track and continued to frog jump.
After he left, Wang Ling came to Zhao Guofu's side."Coach, what did Ma Zhuo say?”
"This brat said he wanted to bid 200, but I chased him away.”
Wang Ling nodded." Actually, 200 is not bad. It's just that I don't have time for him to train now."”
Those who trained in the 100m sprint could usually train in the 200m sprint.
However, Ma Zhuo had only joined the academy for a short period of time, and the training period was only a little over a month. There was no way for him to take care of two events at the same time.
That would not be worth it.
"Teacher Wang, you know this kid. What is he thinking? Is he really unwilling to join our provincial team?”
"I'm not too sure about that. I only know that he wants to go to university.”
"Sigh, what a good seedling."
Zhao Guofu felt very regretful.
