Chapter 9 I Showdown
Xiao Tian sat on the bus and looked out the window all the way.
He was thinking about a message Ma Shiwei revealed to him that there will be a competition organized by the ski association during the Spring Festival, the Huaxia Volkswagen Vancouver Parallel Slalom League, which may be a good opportunity to make a comeback.
"Hmph, is there any beautiful scenery outside the car window? Is there a beautiful girl? Why didn't I find it?"
The little beauty in the same class, Zhang Qianqian, felt a little complaining. Li Le, who was also a silly man, was always inseparable from Xiao Tian and did not give me a chance.
Zhang Qianqian wanted to chat with Xiao Tian, but she was thin-skinned and always wanted to wait until Xiao Tian got the order before talking to him, but she was troubled that she had never found a chance.
In the end, Zhang Qianqian did not speak, and was dragged by the little sisters to go shopping and eat.
...
…
After dinner, Xiao Tian washed dishes in the kitchen alone.
Dad Xiao and Mom Xiao were lying on the sofa, eating fruits while watching the Hanguo soap opera.
Xiao Tian was slow to talk to his parents until he finished washing the dishes, but he didn't think of any reason.
"Come on, my husband eat an apple."
Xiao's mother handed a peeled apple to Xiao's father's mouth, but her eyes did not leave the TV screen.
"My mom and dad, I want to tell you something!"
"Son, I'm done washing the dishes, come and have some fruit!"
Xiao Ma answered the question irrelevantly.
Xiao Tian had to pick up the remote control, and the TV screen paused, and Xiao Tian stood in front of the TV.
"Hey, son, tell me, don't block the TV!"
"My mom and dad, I want to ski!"
Without thinking about how to start, Xiao Tian chose to show off directly.
Xiao Ma was still confused and asked, "Didn't you just go skiing today?"
Dad Xiao seemed to understand his son's meaning a little. Looking at Xiao Tian, his expression became serious.
"I mean, I want to practice skiing in the future and be a skier!"
Xiao Tian further explained.
"Athletes have been practicing since childhood. They are all boy skills. You are eighteen years old, so is it still too late?"
The question asked by Xiao Ma is a common sense misunderstanding that most ordinary people have.
The answer is not absolute.
It is naturally the best to be able to practice from a young age, but when you get older, you don’t have any chances. You just need to put in more effort and fewer opportunities.
For Xiao Tian, it’s not too late to be 18 years old, the key is that Xiao Tian has a system.
The system is in hand, I have it, but Xiao Tian can't say that.
"It's too late. When I was a child, you forced me to practice gymnastics for four years. I have been exercising in the past year and my physical condition is excellent. Moreover, the skiing event is quite special, and the age requirement is not so damn."
Xiao Tian racked his brains to think of some reasons and made excuses.
When Xiao Tian was in kindergarten, someone from the gymnastics team came to dance well. He fell in love with Xiao Tian and said that Xiao Tian had good balance and reaction, good flexibility, and had the talent to practice gymnastics.
Xiao Tian's mother thought it was good for boys to practice sports, so she signed up for Xiao Tian, but she never thought that she would let Xiao Tian go on the athlete path, just to find an organization for him to exercise his body.
Later, when he was in the third grade of elementary school, Xiao's mother felt that it was delayed and she refused to let Xiao Tian go to the gymnastics team to train.
Only then did Xiao Ma realize that her son was serious.
It's been just a week. Why did you go to the ski resort and smash your head again. You have to go to the hospital!
Women, she is easy to get involved!
Dad Xiao was calm and said.
"You continue."
"You know my current academic performance. I have had a strange disease this year and have delayed my course for a year. No matter how hard I work, I will only take the second-tier exam, and there are still some risks."
"Today, I met a ski instructor at the ski resort. He said that I have talent and if I do some systematic training, I still have a lot of hope to achieve results!"
Xiao Ma immediately wanted to refute if someone was fooling you and wanted you to spend money to enroll in a class to learn skiing, Balabala.
But Xiao Tian took out a red envelope and a card from his pocket and put it on the coffee table in front of Xiao’s father and mother.
Xiao Ma picked up the red envelope in confusion, opened it and saw that it was a check inside, and handed it to Xiao Dad.
"Husband, look!"
"Today, I accidentally participated in a ski competition at Qingshan Ski Resort. I won the championship. This is a prize, two thousand yuan and annual tickets to Qingshan Ski Resort!"
Xiao Ma picked up the card on the coffee table and looked at it carefully.
She knew the words and drawings above, but she had never seen this thing before, so naturally she could not distinguish between true and false!
Usually, Xiao’s mother decides what happened in the Xiao family, but now this matter is related to her son’s future. It’s so sudden and she is catching up with a sports such as skiing. Not to mention her, there are not many foreigners who are proficient in China. The national team coach Yishui didn’t know what to say for a while, but she felt that this was unreliable. She would take the college entrance examination in half a year. When you hear someone say that you have to practice skiing!
Dad Xiao also frowned and looked thoughtful.
The needles are quietly falling in the living room to hear it.
Xiao Tian once again sacrificed his magic weapon, retreating to advancing.
"I didn't say I won't take the college entrance examination anymore. It's just that this month's winter vacation, I want to spend some time on skiing. I've been sick for a year, and it's not bad for this month. I won't spend all my time on skiing, and I will review my homework when I have time. Besides, can I repeat the exam?"
Xiao Tian forgot that high school students will start one week early, and there is no month left.
However, he said so, with the purpose of persuading parents, at least for the time being, they will agree to do skiing on their own.
Dad Xiao looked at his son who was still young, sighed and said.
"Xiaotian, you are 18 years old and an adult. You have experienced a lot in the past year. Your mother and I are very worried about you, afraid that something will happen to you, but you are very good, you survived.
The ancients said that good and bad luck depend on each other. Although it took a year, I think you have gained a lot and become more mature. I just want to tell you that whether you are an athlete or reviewing the college entrance examination, you must read more. There are lessons left by our predecessors, and the wisdom of our predecessors in the book. Your mother and I may not be able to give you an accurate answer to the problems you encounter, but you can definitely find them in the book, so read more.
This era is too fast, and we can't keep up. You said you want to practice skiing, but I agree. Xiaotian, you are a man. After you make a decision, you have to do your best to achieve it. Remember, there is only one kind of failure that is to give up halfway!”
Xiao’s mother wanted to say something, but she held it back. According to Xiao’s father’s wishes, she gave Xiao Tian another 20,000 yuan to give Xiao Tian the cost of skiing.
At night, Xiao’s father and mother’s room.
The two of them lay on the bed, their eyes were open, thinking about things, and not speaking.
At this moment, if a thief happened to come in and let him see this scene, he would probably be scared to death.
"Husband, do you think Xiaotian skiing is reliable?"
"I don't know. However, I believe Xiaotian. Since he was 10 years old, he has been holding the door keys at home by himself. We both have to go to work, and he is alone at home during the winter and summer vacations. He has grown up so much, which has always made us feel relieved."
"Hehe, this is the most relaxing thing for me during the winter and summer vacations. I cook dinner every day. When we get home twice, I eat ready-made food and bully him a lot over the years!"
Ma Xiao smiled mischievously like a child.
"No, my son is able to do it. Let's take a step back and say, will you still repeat the school next year?
Alas, my wife is still wise. I bought a three-bedroom apartment in the Olympic Village more than ten years ago. The house my dad gave us was not sold, and the loan was paid back. There was no financial pressure. We made a fortune. Xiaotian was willing to do skiing, so let him try it for a while!”
Xiao Tian’s father sighed, and he sighed when he thought of the house!
Xiao’s father has a postgraduate degree and works as the team leader of a project team in a foreign-funded pharmaceutical company. His monthly salary is more than 20,000 yuan.
Xiao Ma is an accountant and can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. The salary of the two people is combined, and it will be 500,000 yuan a year.
But the house they live in now is three bedrooms and one living room near the Olympic Village, close to the subway, and the house price is almost enough for two people to eat or drink.
Now that he wants to buy it, he really can't afford it!
Thanks to Xiao’s wise and powerful back then, he said that he would prepare a house for Xiao Tian and get married. Finally, he borrowed some money before gritting his teeth and buying the house.
"Hehehe, my wife is amazing, then you won't reward your wife with a kiss and hug and hold it high..."
