It was already very late when I returned home from Yipin Pavilion.
Coach Xu was lying on his sofa and humming a tune.
He never thought that Jilin's provincial team would produce four national players, one of whom included his daughter.
This is something he never dreamed of, and now it has come true.
He closed his eyes, crossed his legs and lay on the sofa, continuing to hum "Toward the sun! Sending out towards freedom, sending out endless rays of light towards New China..."
While he was singing with high spirits and full concentration, he heard someone talking to him.
He had never sang like this at home in his life. This was the only time he was happy to sing at home. When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure in confusion.
"Lao Xu, what's going on today? Are you so happy?"
Chen Huanying has never seen her husband happy. Could this be a huge good thing happening to him? Otherwise, he wouldn't lie down at home and sing.
This was the first time she had seen this situation.
"Yeah! You're at home. It shocked me."
Coach Xu always thought that Xu Xin's mother was on duty in the hospital, but she didn't expect to suddenly appear in front of him.
He got up immediately and wanted to share the good news with Chen Huanying as soon as possible.
But thinking about drinking a lot of wine, I felt a little thirsty.
"Go and pour me some water first, and then I'll tell you the good news!"
"What kind of good news makes you behave like this?"
Chen Huanxin also saw that he had drunk a lot of wine, his face was red, and his speech was a little different from usual. He was mumbling while pouring tea.
After a while, Chen Huanying made a cup of hot tea and handed it to Coach Xu.
"Did you know? Today the national team came down to select players, and our province selected four players, including Shaojie, Lin Hui, and Jianhua." Coach Xu picked up the teapot and wanted to take a sip of water before talking, but this news really made him happy. However, he still didn't provoke me and spoke first, with a smile on his face.
"Shaojie is the kid we have been watching growing up, and he should be selected for the national team. Lin Hui, who defeated the world champion Xu Zhihao last time, should be selected. Jianhua, the kid, has a stable character and is good at playing. It’s not bad and should be included in the national team!”
Although Chen Huanying is Coach Xu's lover, she knows everything about the provincial team. Coach Xu often tells Chen Huanying when he comes back, what is going on in the team today and what will happen in the team tomorrow?
Even if she doesn't want to listen, she often listens to Coach Xu's ramblings, and she can memorize these things after hearing them.
Gradually, she got used to the fact that Coach Xu often told her about the team's affairs, and she also analyzed the team's situation with him. At the same time, when these children came to her house, they called "Master's Mother, Master's Mother", and she gradually got used to.
She just heard that there were four people, but who was the other person? No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't think of it.
She basically knows everyone on the team. Wang Xiaolong, that kid is not stable and is still a little short of joining the national team. She really can’t think of anyone who can join the national team.
"Didn't you expect the fourth person? I'm telling you, it's our Xinxin! My Xinxin was selected as the only member of the women's team!"
Coach Xu knew that Chen Huanying had not guessed it, nor did he expect that their Xu Xin would stand out and take such an opportunity.
During dinner today, coach Wu talked about Xu Xin's good words. How much he wanted to recommend Xu Xin, but he clearly knew that Xu Xin was his daughter. How could he say this from his own mouth.
Unexpectedly, Coach Shi helped him a big favor.
If Coach Shi hadn't strongly recommended Xu Xin, he wouldn't know if Xu Xin could enter the national team or when.
At first his palms were sweating. He never dared to look up and stare at Coach Wu.
Until Coach Wu agreed to let Xu Xin join the National University team, no one could imagine how happy he was.
Xu Xin is his greatest pride in this life. Being able to join the national team proves his success in cultivating talents.
Xu Xin is a case and also his hope.
Chen Huanying knew that Xu Xin's father had been carefully cultivating their daughter. But he never thought that Xu Xin would join the national team.
As a mother, my biggest dream is to hope that my daughter will live a safe life. Marrying someone who loved her dearly, she couldn't even think about joining the national team.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xin's father really trained her to become a national athlete.
"Lao Xu, I don't agree with this. I hope our daughter won't join the national team!"
"You don't agree? Do you think anyone can join the national team? You have to go through layers of screening before you can join the national team. Besides, playing for the national team is a supreme honor, and not everyone can join it. I have trained many students in my life. But it has always been my hope that Xinxin can enter the national team. I have put so much effort into Xinxin. She is my hope and our hope."
From the moment Xu Xin was not born, whether he was a boy or a girl, Coach Xu made up his mind to train him to become a national athlete. Over the years, he has been strict with Xu Xin. One day, Xu Xin can join the national team.
He is a sports coach, but has never entered the door of the national team. But he must firmly believe that he can train players who can enter the national team. He placed all his hopes on Xu Xin. Xu Xin is his new life and his future.
As a father, this is very cruel to Xu Xin, but if he knew that he was so cruel, it was for her to have a better future. I won't blame him.
"But Lao Xu, I just hope that my daughter can marry a good man and live a stable life. I have already found a job for her to be a physical education teacher in the university. Besides, if she joins the national team, the national team will have a flowering period. How short it is, we don't know that Xu Xin is not very young now, she still has a few years to play! But as long as you get older, you can't stay in the national team forever, instead of coming back in the future Yes, it’s better to just let her go to work early! Let’s stop thinking about her!”
In Xu Huanying's eyes, Xu Xin is just a daughter, an ordinary daughter like others. He originally promised his father that he would take her to the provincial team to train, but he never expected that he would be able to join the national team now.
"You asked Xu Xin to be an ordinary person, would Xu Xin be willing to do it? Have you asked for her consent?"
He kept thinking in his mind that women have long hair but short knowledge! I didn’t expect it to be! How pedantic and unreasonable.
"I won't argue with you now. When Xinxin comes back, we will ask her opinion. If she wants to play ball, I respect her opinion. If she doesn't want to play ball, then you can't stop her!"
Chen Huanying knew that it would not make sense no matter how she talked to Lao Xu, so she could only seek her daughter's opinion.
If her daughter insists on playing ball, then she can only respect her wishes. She always wanted her daughter to grow up happy. If playing basketball can really make her happy, then she is willing to regress.
"Okay, wait for my daughter to come back! I'll ask his opinion!"
Coach Xu and Xu Xin have been together for a long time, and he knows exactly what Xu Xin is thinking.
She just wants to play ball. Join the national team and bring China’s national football to all parts of the world. She wants to become a female table tennis player recognized around the world.
As a father, how could he not know his daughter's dream? For her daughter's dream, he has been silently supporting her and helping her.
