Chapter 24
Taking care of the family
Zhao Jiadi is still wearing a pair of old-fashioned Jai-alai shoes, vests and shorts that are no longer common. The reason why he decided to use the Jai-Alai shoes as combat boots for the 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter races was because he fought with them when he was a boy.
We have formed a deep relationship with each other. These shoes are not fancy at all. They are earthy and sturdy. They are not easily worn out no matter how you jump up and down. They feel comfortable when you kick people. No matter how hard you are, you don’t have to worry about taking the same righteousness as him.
Zhao Jiadi stood at the starting line with internal injuries from being kicked by a frivolous animal. He smiled widely. This time, he didn't think about his first love, only the romantic years when he drank low-quality liquor and smoked cheap cigarettes with Lao Yang Pistol and the others.
The race situation was similar to yesterday's 5K. The first three laps were at a mid-to-lower level. After five laps, I started to exert my strength and passed one by one. By the tenth lap, I was almost the best. By the time I finished the 5K, there were already a lot of people I couldn't handle.
The hot and sunny kid sneaked out on his own initiative. He ran to a place close to the passage and ran out without a trace. There was also a tragic hero who fainted on the spot and was carried out. Afterwards, except for the referee, few people could tell who was in the lead.
Who was being chased? It wasn't until Zhao Jia sprinted the last 200 meters soaking wet that the referee looked at the timer and was shocked to realize that this humble athlete had already broken the school record. He was a bit tough.
After today's run, Zhao Jiadi still tried to run away without getting a medal, but he was intercepted by Mu Hongli near the finish line. She handed him a bottle of mineral water, and Zhao Jiadi was not polite and poured it on his head as a way to soften it.
Mu Hongli was doing some body stretching exercises, and Mu Hongli followed behind and said with a smile: "Don't you say that you are a staunch target person, how come you managed to finish 25 laps without even asking for a medal?"
Zhao Jiadi explained with a smile: "I was dragged here by my roommate. Running 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters to get the ranking is not my personal goal. It is just completing the class tasks. As long as the bonus is large, I will get it for a penny, medals or something."
It can't be used as food. If you take it out to show it to a pretty girl, you might be treated as a fool. That would be too unfair."
"Have you ever practiced long-distance running?" Mu Hongli asked curiously, dragging him to see where he was sitting on the stage. It seemed that he was determined to keep an eye on him to get the medal that would be awarded later.
"No." Zhao Jiadi shook his head and said. He started to drink mineral water at this time. Because he has been cared for by his sister-in-law who pays attention to health for a long time. In addition, when he was a child, he practiced the postures with his grandfather and developed a good habit. He didn't even smoke or drink.
Addiction, only when you win or lose a fight can you indulge with those beasts. Youth is a luxury thing, you should either cherish it carefully or squander it vigorously. It is mediocre. When you are old, you will not even have anything to remember. It is too pitiful and desolate.
There is a saying that mature women are always around, but lolita are never returned once they are gone. This is the truth.
"Then you are not gifted, are you?" Mu Hongli joked. The first time she accidentally listened to this guy's sudden confession, the second time she accidentally chased him out in the foreign classroom, and this time she couldn't.
She rationally came to bask in the sun all afternoon and bet that this guy would compete in the 10,000 meters. Mu Hongli felt that she was really going to be terminally ill.
"Actually, I was very timid when I was a child. Because I was small and not strong, I could never win a fight. Later, after I went to school, during the winter and summer vacations, my grandfather would drag me up the mountain to get medicine every day, and I would yell at my native dog for two or three days.
I can run on a small mountain for most of the day. Don’t look at my skin now, which is quite white. Every time I go on holiday, it looks like black coal. I am from Ts. Caofeidian is also close to the sea. When it gets hot, I will strip naked with my best friend.
I jumped down naked and fluttered, and almost drowned several times. My water skills and physical strength were all developed through such reckless training." Zhao Jiadi leaned against the steps and seemed to realize that he had said too much. He turned around to see Mu Hongli looking forward to what was going to happen next.
With a playful expression, Zhao Jiadi, who was encouraged, took a sip of water and continued chatting, "When I was very young, my family sent me to live in another place to study on loan. I was not familiar with the place. The local little bastards liked to bully students. I also had a bad temper. Second words
Don't say it, just beat them. If they can't be beaten during the day, I will sneak into their dormitory at night and smash bricks with my hands. The red ones are the most common ones. Haha, a good girl like you must not know. Anyway, when is the end of retribution, just keep beating.
After junior high school, I almost lost less and won more, and then I got to know a group of peers who had similar personalities. I always felt that if we didn’t have the chance to serve as soldiers and carry guns together, we would have to fight with watermelon knives and bricks together to call ourselves buddies. Now that I think about it, it’s quite silly.
Yes, but I don’t regret it either.”
This was the first time that Zhao Jiali told Mu Hongli about him. He had never had the chance before because he was afraid of scaring her, a girl who was most likely to be a good child from the first day she was born. Since she seemed
There was no objection, so Zhao Jiadi simply told the truth, with some emotion himself, "But when I was in high school, I always had troubles with people from other schools, or some scoundrels in society, you might not believe me when I tell you.
He is a good student with a strong sense of honor in the class. Even in basketball and football games, if there are not enough people, he likes to drag me into trouble. I am not good at basketball, let alone football. Anyway, I am just a coolie.
, run, run back and forth, I remember there was a football match when I was a sophomore in high school. It seemed that I couldn’t touch the football from the beginning to the end. I was teased by all kinds of tricks and tricks. I kept running for 90 minutes and even laughed in the stands.
After 90 minutes, I will definitely not be happy if I am asked to do it now. It’s not that I can’t save my face, I just feel that there are indeed many things that are wrong no matter how hard I try, so I might as well be lazy and not seek any results.
But try to have no faults. Is this considered cynicism?"
"It's quite silly. If I were in the stands, I would still laugh. I would still be the kind of person who laughs." Mu Hongli said with a smile.
"Can you stop being so honest?" Zhao Jiadi also smiled.
"No." Mu Hongli said simply.
Zhao Jiadi drank water hurtfully, sighing in his heart, but hesitated to speak, because he originally planned to find an opportunity to carefully ask this girl if she could accompany him to attend Ma Xiaotiao's birthday party, but now it seemed that the hope was slim.
"What do you want to say?" Mu Hongli tilted her head. She continued to dress innocently today, and it would be a waste of money to sit in the same place with Zhao Jiadi.
"Don't say it, so as not to make you laugh again." Zhao Jiadi grinned, his teeth were so white that they were as white as bones. It cannot be denied that after being together for a long time, Comrade Ba Liang still has a bit of a personal style.
"I won't ask if you don't tell me. Jiang Taigong's fishing tricks are of no use to me." Mu Hongli smiled and blinked.
When women are smart, men have to worry about it.
Zhao Jiadi was determined and said as if he were dead: "It's my roommate's birthday in a week, and everyone else is taking care of them, so I want to take one too."
Mu Hongli said innocently: "Then you can take it with me too."
Zhao Jiadi said with a mournful face: "But I don't have any family members. You are the only one who is still very guarded against me. How can you put such a kindhearted person like me who doesn't know sweet words to shame?"
Mu Hongli turned her head, seeming to be thinking about a profound and important question.
Zhao Jiadi is waiting to be sentenced to death.
"I don't know how to drink." Mu Hongli still didn't turn her head, but her ears were already red.
"What?" Zhao Jiadi was stunned for a moment.
Mu Hongli suddenly tilted her head and raised her eyebrows coldly. Her arrogant look seemed to make Zhao Jiadi, who was suspected of pretending to be a fool, be skinned and cramped.
"Agreed?" Zhao Jiadi, who was fatally struck by happiness, giggled and stood up, "I'll go down to receive the award first, and I'll treat you to dinner later."
Mu Hongli looked at the figure running away, a little annoyed that her position was so unfirm.
Afterwards, Mu Hongli did not eat in the cafeteria of Zhao Jiadi's school because she had to rush back for something. It was Zhao Jiadi who took her back on his bicycle. At first, she blushed and refused to agree. Zhao Jiadi finally
After getting the idea, they continued to stalk him, except for Zhao Yange's rogue tactics of rolling on the ground. In the end, Mu Hongli got on the back seat of his broken bicycle and was safely and calmly sent back to Shanghai Foreign Languages.
Zhao Jiadi did not get carried away along the way, he was quiet and just pedaled the bicycle very carefully.
