This Second Male Lead Has Something Special
Chapter 238 (Catching Bugs)
In fact, many people have asked this question before.
But Mrs. Chen never told the reason every time, but was vague.
Just like now, when Su Lin asked, Mrs. Chen just kept saying, "Please coach, just accept Chen Shi, he will definitely be obedient and can train well."
Every time she spoke, she was hunched over, not because she couldn't straighten her back, but because she subconsciously lowered her head.
Mrs. Chen put her hands together again, and when she was about to bow, Su Lin stopped her, "Okay, I'll accept it."
The old lady never told the reason.
But when Su Lin met her eyes, he understood it almost instantly.
In the old lady's eyes, in addition to gratitude, there was also obvious guilt.
This guilt should not have appeared in Mrs. Chen's eyes.
After all, it didn't make sense. She just wanted to send the child to train, and there was no question of guilt.
But think about it and you can understand it.
Rather than sending the child to train, it's better to say that he is looking for someone to rely on.
Think about the situation of the Chen family, an old lady, a big brother with inconvenient legs, and then this seven or eight-year-old child.
Once the old lady dies, how will the two brothers live?
It will be more difficult than now, especially Chen Shi, who will not know what to do in the future.
The old lady feels guilty because her current approach is to "entrust the orphan".
Perhaps it was because of the handling of Chen Miao's affairs that made her feel that the gymnasium can be entrusted, so she insisted on sending her grandson here.
She is looking forward to it. If that day really comes, at least the grandson will have a backer.
It was also because he understood it that Su Lin couldn't bear to refuse.
Even if Chen Shi is really not suitable for sprinting, he is still willing to keep the child.
At least the old lady is right about one thing.
Although Chen Shi is not suitable for sprinting, he is still quite obedient, at least he is not a child who is annoying and needs to be disciplined all the time.
And when Su Lin took Chen Shi's hand, he could feel the calluses on his palm.
Obviously, he should have done a lot of housework at home.
It was helpless for him to help his family at such a young age, but he was indeed a good child who was willing to work hard.
"Grandma, I will accept the person first. You can go back first and bring other documents to handle the formalities tomorrow." Su Lin said to her.
Grandma Chen was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, my family lives near the gymnasium, Chen Shi knows how to get back."
He took the hand of his grandson and explained a few things in detail.
Then he left with a much lighter pace.
Coach Wang looked at him and felt even more guilty.
No matter what the reason was, it seemed a bit unfair to kick Chen Shi into Su Lin's team. He touched his nose and said, "Xiao Su, thank you for your hard work. If you need anything, just ask."
In fact, at the beginning, Coach Wang didn't like Su Lin very much.
It wasn't that he deliberately made things difficult for a young man, but Ning Feichi's matter was brought to him.
Ning Feichi was his capable player, but he offered a high price of seven figures to the director to invite Su Lin to train.
Isn't this obviously a slap in his face?
How come he, a formal coach, is not as good as a newly hired assistant coach?
And it's seven figures... I really can't imagine it. If he did, he should have agreed immediately. Who would have thought that Su Lin would refuse.
In addition, he agreed so readily today, and his impression of Su Lin changed immediately.
"I just want to ask you for help with something." Su Lin smiled at him, "There is a competition with Lin City next week. Can you give me a few places?"
He is only an assistant coach now. He has no chance to lead the team in some friendly matches, and he can't be allocated a place. Now there is a chance, why not fight for it?
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Coach Wang agreed immediately.
But adding a few people should not be a difficult task.
Su Lin thanked him.
He thought it was necessary to pass the coaching certificate. The difference between assistant coach and coach is still too big.
After thanking him, he took Chen Shi to get clothes and other things. When he returned to the playground again, he began to give him more tests.
Track and field sports are a very physically demanding event, including sprinting.
Although it is only a short 100 meters or 200 meters, it is actually very physically demanding. You need to exert all your explosive power in just ten seconds and push your body to the limit. When you relax completely, you will find that you have lost all your strength and cannot recover without resting for a while.
But Chen Shi is different. 100 meters and 200 meters are not a big deal for him. Because he doesn't know whether he can't do it or can't understand it, his explosive power is not strong, or even nonexistent, so he didn't exert his strength.
Watching him stand at the finish line easily, Su Lin finally experienced Coach Wang's helplessness. He walked over and asked, "Can you continue running?"
Chen Shi nodded and said crisply, "Yes."
Su Lin asked again, "How many more times do you think you can run?"
Chen Shi didn't answer immediately this time, but tilted his head to think about it, and then gave an uncertain answer: "Many times."
Su Lin chuckled, "Then can you use the strength of running many times to run only once?"
"..." Chen Shi responded silently, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
He looked at the coach with round eyes and asked directly, "Will you be angry?"
He was very stupid and couldn't understand many things.
He would understand after hearing it many, many times, but of course he might still not understand it.
But he thought he was stupid and understood that the people who taught him would be angry because of his own reasons, which would make him very distressed.
He didn't want them to be angry, but he really didn't understand what they meant by saying this.
For a moment, Su Lin looked at Chen Shi and suddenly thought of Ning Feichi.
They both couldn't understand what others said, although the reasons were different. Of course, it was obvious that Chen Shi was much cuter than Ning Feichi.
"As long as you don't deliberately make trouble, I have no reason to be angry." Su Lin said seriously. He didn't assign tasks directly, but explained first: "I want to see where your limit is, so I need you to run around the track until you are tired."
While saying this, he pointed to the track, "Run around this circle, stop when you are tired, and never force yourself, understand?"
Chen Shi nodded this time. He understood what this meant, and ran around the track according to the coach's instructions.
One lap of the stadium track is 400 meters. For athletes, running laps is a very common training method.
This method of running laps does not train explosive power, but endurance.
Most members can run a few laps easily, but as the number of laps increases, their physical strength slowly decreases.
Chen Shi gave him a very stable feeling. From the start to the end, he almost didn't need to use tools to measure to see that each of his frequencies was at a point.
So Su Lin wanted to know how many laps he had to run before the frequency would change.
Before Chen Shi ran, Su Lin had a guess in his mind.
From the 100-meter test, he should have received some training before, especially some running knowledge and movements. It can be seen that someone had taught him in advance, all of which were very standardized, and he was definitely not a beginner.
And this person should be Chen Miao.
So he boldly guessed that maybe this child could maintain this frequency for four or five laps, and his limit should be more than fifteen laps, or even a little more.
As a result, Su Lin guessed wrong.
Until the other members came to the playground, Chen Shi was still running. This was already the 27th lap.
Three more laps would be 12,000 meters.
What surprised him even more was that the child still had some strength left.
As early as the 25th lap, he followed Chen Shi and reminded him to rest if he was exhausted, but it was obvious that he was still very energetic.
At least when he was next to Chen Shi, he only felt that his breathing was a little rapid. Although his steps were not as steady as before, he could feel that this was not his limit.
This was really a surprise for Su Lin.
I thought that he was a member that other coaches were unwilling to accept, but I found more surprises in him.
"Who is that kid?"
"It seems to be a new member."
"I know him, he is Chen Miao's younger brother."
"Chen Miao? Is it the Chen Miao I know?! He is so powerful, I have always regarded him as a goal, if I can break his record, I will be very happy."
Su Feng heard this name and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he asked: "Who is Chen Miao?"
"The 400-meter record holder of the track and field team, no one has broken his record for five or six years." Sun Fan explained, and then told him about Chen Miao's accident.
Five or six years ago, he was still young and didn't quite understand what kind of blow the accident brought to Chen Miao.
But now thinking about it, it is really a pity, "If he hadn't been in trouble, I would definitely see him on the TV screen."
"It turned out to be him." Su Feng finally remembered who this person was.
He was a star in the gym at the time, and he also heard about what happened later, but at that age, he didn't care about other people's affairs, so he didn't take it to heart after hearing it.
Now thinking of the regret, while feeling that he is much luckier than Chen Miao.
He also had an accident, but there were other options, while Chen Miao could only sit in a wheelchair and could never step on this track again.
Suddenly, Su Feng felt that he should cherish it.
Cherish the hard-won opportunity.
"Eh? Have you calculated how many laps did brother Chen Miao run?" one person asked. He looked at the timetable. "We have been here for half an hour. It feels like he has been running for quite a long time."
"Sixteen laps." Sun Fan said. From the time he came to the playground until now, the little boy has run a total of sixteen laps. He looks very energetic. "As expected of brother Chen Miao, his endurance is really good. If I had run so many laps, my breathing would have been messed up."
"Awesome!"
"What's the big deal? I can run too. Twenty laps is no problem." Ji Jian didn't want to be outdone by a primary school student. He held his head high and proved that he could do it.
"It started before we got here. He might have run quite a few laps."
"It shouldn't have started for long. I don't think he was very tired at that time."
Su Lin came over and said to them, "A total of thirty-eight laps."
"So amazing!"
"Fuck, this primary school student is really awesome."
"He can run too fast." Su Feng was also amazed. He felt that his legs would be weak after running twenty laps. Brother Chen Miao was really amazing.
"His name is Chen Shi, and he is under my charge for the time being." Su Lin said.
Although he has many students now, the only one who is really under his charge besides Su Feng is the newcomer Chen Shi.
The other team members are temporarily under his charge because their coach took a leave of absence.
However, the two students under his charge are quite good.
Before he got Su Feng to the track and field team, he promised the director that he would not be a formal member at first, but a running companion. If there was no effect within three months, he would take him back without the director asking.
Now it seems that his choice is correct, Su Feng gave him a big surprise.
At the same time, Chen Shi was another surprise for him.
Until the 40th lap, Chen Shi could continue to run, but Su Lin stopped him, "Stop first."
Chen Shi frowned: "But I can still run."
Looking at this posture, he really wants to run until he can't run anymore.
Su Lin didn't say anything else, took his hand and walked to the rest area, half squatted down and patted his slightly trembling legs to release the muscles in his legs.
Chen Shi was not tall, but when the coach squatted down, he could just see the head swirl on the top of the coach's head.
He rarely saw this perspective, except for his grandmother and eldest brother, there was no one else.
Reaching out his hand and landing on the coach's shoulder, he said blankly, "Are you angry?"
Su Lin didn't look up: "Why should I be angry?"
Chen Shi thought for a while, "Because I didn't listen to you, I should have stopped earlier."
Su Lin raised his head after his legs were completely relaxed. The boy's eyes were a little dull and not so lively, but at this time, a trace of uneasiness could be seen in his eyes.
Su Lin thought for a while and said, "How about this, if I am really angry, I will take the initiative to tell you. If I don't say it, it means I am not angry. What do you think?"
Chen Shi nodded immediately.
Su Lin rubbed his head, "Also, not only am I not angry, I also think you performed very well. Did you see the expressions of those big brothers? They all think you are very good."
Chen Shi looked at him and did not immediately show a happy expression.
But he looked dazed. After about four or five seconds, his ears began to turn red.
Is the coach praising him?
He glanced in the direction the coach pointed to. Are those big brothers also praising him?
Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth slowly swayed slightly.
He liked this. His grandmother had told him to pay attention to other people's expressions and not to do things that were unpleasant, but he didn't understand. He felt that this was so difficult.
If someone could tell him directly, he would understand.
He didn't have to worry about whether he would say the wrong thing all the time.
Besides, no one except his eldest brother would praise him. Chen Shi moved his little finger and said, "I can run."
"Huh?" This was the second time Su Lin heard him say that he could run.
But he didn't quite understand what he meant.
Chen Shi nodded heavily and said, "I really can run."
He can run and he can run, and he doesn't understand why other coaches thought he couldn't run after trying several times before.
But he obviously can run. From the starting point to the end point, he ran countless times, but every time he felt that he did not run wrong, but the result was rejection.
This used to make him very confused.
But now it won't happen again. There are coaches willing to accept him and praise him.
Moreover, he really likes the feeling of running continuously, without having to stop for a short time, and moving forward until he is exhausted.
After two consecutive sounds, Su Lin suddenly understood what he meant.
After thinking it through, he found it funny again.
He made everything complicated. There was no need to think too complicatedly about Chen Shi's words, just listen to the literal meaning. He affirmed: "You are right, you can run."
In a few seconds, the corners of Chen Shi's mouth curled up a little more.
Su Lin patted him gently, "Go to the side and take a rest. Follow them to do some simple training in the next two days. When I make a plan... Forget it, you have to do whatever I ask you to do, understand?"
I wanted to explain, but the child looked confused.
Take it slowly first.
Let Chen Shi go to rest first, and Su Lin immediately assigned tasks to other students.
The whole playground began to get busy.
After returning home, Mrs. Chen sat at the door waiting.
There was an earthen stove on one side of the door, and two steamed cakes were being steamed on the stove. This was their way of making a living.
Business was not very good before, and they could not sell much even if they carried a load.
Later, in order to take care of their grandparents and grandchildren, the gymnasium bought a batch of cakes from them, which were specially supplied to the people in the gymnasium.
Before supplying the goods, they also taught her how to make them. The food in the gymnasium could not be too sweet, and the taste had to be improved. The taste after the improvement was better than the original. Over the years, they have had many repeat customers.
Old Mrs. Chen was really grateful to the people in the gymnasium.
Every year when she went up the mountain to pray to the gods and Buddhas, she would pray for them.
But she felt very guilty.
She insisted on sending her grandson to the gymnasium, which actually added a lot of trouble to them.
But she had to do it.
She was also sorry for her grandson. When her son and daughter-in-law had an accident, she was so sad that she didn't notice Chen Shi's difference. It was only when Chen Miao, the older brother, pointed it out that she realized that Chen Shi was a little different from other children. His reaction was a few beats slower than other children.
And because the family really couldn't afford it, Chen Shi's treatment was delayed.
That's why he grew up to be what he is now.
In the past, Chen Miao also said that it didn't matter if his brother was like this, he would take good care of his brother all his life, so that he would be carefree and didn't have to worry about anything.
At that time, Chen Miao could really do it.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was able to get a scholarship to support his family. The coaches all said that he was capable and would definitely be an athlete in the future with unlimited prospects.
But a disaster completely shattered his future.
It also brought a huge blow to this family.
But sometimes, Grandma Chen would think that although her grandson's legs were gone, he was still alive. In the future, the three of them would support each other and make a living.
Just like now, by supplying cakes to the gymnasium and doing some retail, they can earn more than 100 yuan a day. With some other subsidies, it is enough for the three of them to spend.
At that time, they really didn't think about bothering the gymnasium.
It was not until the New Year that an old lady next door suddenly fell and died. The old lady was seven or eight years younger than her. She looked very agile on weekdays. No one expected that she would leave so suddenly.
At that time, she couldn't help but think more.
What if she also left so suddenly?
The eldest grandson lost his legs and the youngest grandson was dumb. If she died, the family's cake business would definitely not work. These two children really had no income except for some state-provided minimum living allowances, and they didn't know how to survive.
It was from this time that she had to plan for her grandsons.
Old Mrs. Chen felt that she was too bad.
The people in the gymnasium were so nice, but she was still calculating them here, thinking that if she really died, the eldest and youngest grandsons were both from the gymnasium, and they could take care of them more or less, so that they would not be left without anyone to take care of them.
They helped their family so much.
They donated money, applied for subsidies for them, and specially helped improve the taste of the steamed cakes so that they could supply the gymnasium.
They were so nice, but she was making some bad plans.
She came to their house again and again, almost forcing Chen Shi to stay. Even though she knew that Chen Shi was not the material for this path, she insisted again and again.
She even used moral kidnapping and knelt to beg people to take in Chen Shi.
Old Lady Chen knew that this was wrong.
But she really had no other way out. If there were any other way out, she would not do such a shameful thing.
Sometimes when she thought about it, she would blush with shame and could not raise her head at all.
But no matter how shameless she was, she had to continue to do it for the children to rely on.
I just hope she can live longer.
Raise the little grandson to adulthood, and don't ask to see them get married and have children. The main thing is to find a job that can support themselves, so that they will not become a burden to others.
It's good to live a plain and healthy life, and don't expect a better life.
The only thing she gave in return was to keep telling the two brothers to remember the goodness of the gymnasium and repay it well if they have the opportunity in the future.
Old Lady Chen also knew that these were empty words, but apart from these words, they really couldn't do anything. The only thing they could do was to recite those kind people when praying, hoping that good people would be rewarded.
Looking ahead, the sky sighed.
I don't know if I did something wrong in my previous life, which caused my children and grandchildren to live like this.
"Grandma, it's windy outside, come in and sit down." Chen Miao shouted from inside the house. It's not that he didn't want to go out and wait for his grandma.
But the only wheelchair in the house had some problems with its wheels, and he couldn't move at all without someone pushing it from behind.
He could only stay in the house day after day, and had nothing to do with running against the wind.
"Wait a little longer, we're already downstairs... I saw Chen Shi." Old Mrs. Chen said, and then she stood up and walked forward.
When she saw that Chen Shi was followed by the gym coach, she panicked.
Could it be that Chen Shi was sent back because of his poor performance?
For a moment, the old lady didn't dare to move forward. She was really too scared.
If she was really rejected, she didn't know if she could still go to him with a thick face...
