Run Out of My Life

    "Hey, Fourth Sister, don't do it. Go to the lobby and sit down. I'll do the rest. The game will start later, so you can watch TV."

    Ye Qinglan scooped a ladle of water into the bucket next to the stove, washed her hands, and hurriedly stopped Ye Qingmei who was preparing to fry ginkgo.

    "Sister-in-law three, don't be too busy, Qinglan and I will do it."

    Su Yuanzhen walked into the kitchen from outside the door, and also hurriedly ran to the stove to make a fire, while saying to Ye Qingmei.

    Fried ginkgo, a specialty snack in Ronghai Province, has not yet been fully promoted nationwide through the large-scale chain Shaxian snacks, but in the neighborhoods and villages of Wuxing County, it is regarded as a snack other than rice meals. , is still quite popular.

      out of the pot.

    "Then you two come."

    Ye Qingmei put down the ginkgo that she had just cut in half, and wiped the apron with her hands around her waist. One is my sister, the other is my eldest sister-in-law, and there is nothing to be polite, so they gave up their seats directly from the stove.

    Out of the kitchen, outside the door of the house, two 150-watt incandescent lamps were pulled from the room, one was hung on the door rail, the other was raised from the well beside the well The big willow tree is hung from a crossbar.

    In rural areas, there are few street lights at this time. At night, except for the occasional shimmer of light from various windows, it is completely silent and dark.

    In a hurry, I hung several bright light bulbs at the door of the house, which can be seen from a mile or two away. Most of the house is busy.

    Wedding feast, pig slaughter at the end of the year, etc.

    A TV was placed on the square table in the open space next to the gate. There were many mosquitoes in summer, and several plates of mosquito coils were lit around. At this time, there were 20 men and women in front of the TV Sitting, banging fruit and chatting, waiting for the game on TV.

    There are even a lot of children who are on summer vacation, running around in the crowd, and the dialect of "Be careful not to fall into the well" sounds from time to time.

    In rural areas, although most households now have TVs, the basic routine is to go to bed early and get up early. It is really rare for a group of men, women and children to stay up late and sit in front of the TV. During the Spring Festival Gala, not everyone has this interest.

    The same is true of the game, and very few people actually watch the game. Most people jump on the platform when there is a sporting event.

    However, this time is different. The people who appear on TV this time are people who grew up watching them from childhood.

    "Hey, your next-door neighbors are all coming together. I, as an uncle, have to take a look." Su Yuanchun took out a dry chimney from his pocket and tapped on the sole of his shoe .

    "This is going to stay up all night, can you bear it?" Lian Xiaofang laughed and laughed.

    "Don't sleep for one night, when I was young, I was watching the water in Laoyangou, and I came here without sleep for three days and three nights. Now it's not as good as before, but once or twice, I still come here. It's bearable." Su Yuanchun tilted his head and put a small pinch of shredded tobacco in the dry chimney, pressed it with his fingers, and glanced at Lian Xiaofang, "It's you young people who won't do anything tomorrow, so you won't sleep together."

    "Hey, you've said it all the time, it won't get in the way for a night or two." Lian Xiaofang took out a lighter and lit a dry chimney for Su Yuanchun, "I usually watch fish fry in the mountain pond, and often at night. I haven't slept. Those electric fish have a battery on their back, wandering around, and from time to time they run into your pond to get a few times. If you shout, everyone will disappear."

    Su Yuanchun took a sip of dry cigarettes, reached out and grabbed a peanut from the fruit bowl, pressed his fingers to open it, and said slowly, "You can't make a lot of money from that mountain pond, or my third child has the ability. , gave birth to a good baby, and under our conditions, he was trained to be an athlete."

    "That's right, in our place, an athlete is more rare than a college student." Lian Xiaofang pointed at the TV in front and shook his finger, "After so many years, which college student has ever attended On TV, Su Zu is still very good, this time it is the Olympic Games in a foreign country."

    "Yuanhua has had a good life in the past few years. Su Zu didn't know how much money he took to go home. However, the leaders of the town and county have come here several times, and it seems that he also gave some A bonus or something."

    Su Yuanchun also sighed, their brotherhood is not very deep, there was a conflict when they split up, and Su Yuanhua's conditions are average, but since his son became an athlete, In just a few short years, it has grown rich.

    Rural people and wealth are not revealed, I don't know how much money, but the TV has been replaced, and the motorcycle has been bought. I heard that the house is going to be demolished and rebuilt. Su Yuanchun sighed, this person is really incomparable.

    "Don't be noisy, it's time to start!"

    Su Yuanhua, who was sitting in front of the TV recently, stood up and shouted at everyone who had been chatting. On the TV screen, Su Zu was standing in the middle of a row of dark-skinned players, which was extraordinarily vivid .

     "Those people are really dark, you can't even see what they look like at night."

    "Teeth so white, black as carbon."

    "It looks scary."

    With rustling whispers, the game on the TV screen began.

    …

    "Friends from the audience, the results of this group of competitions have come out. Su Zu, Su Zu he successfully advanced to the finals. Two hours later, at 23:00 local time and 4:00 am Beijing time, the In the men's 100m final at the Athens Olympic Games, let's cheer for Suzu together!"

    "Su Zu, the first Chinese to run under 10 seconds, the first Chinese to reach the men's final in the Olympic Games, is well-deserved first in Asia."

    Yang Jian explained affectionately, even though it was only a semi-final, he almost told him the feeling of being a champion. This is indeed the case. For a mature track and field commentator, it is extraordinary to see someone who can run under 10 seconds and run into the semifinals.

    In an area near the finish line, the sound of the camera shutter being clicked kept ringing, and there were still daring reporters who passed through the nearby barrier and entered the track to take pictures. Soon they will be kicked out by the referee and other staff. At this time, it is still the first group of the semifinals. Except for some local reporters who are specially allowed to be on both sides of the track, most of them are still in the media area of ​​the track outside the stadium.

    Su Zu just walked to the position near the media area, unexpectedly, a CCTV reporter with a camera appeared and squeezed out of the crowd.

    "Su Zu, the national sports channel is now broadcasting live nationwide. You will be the final soon. Do you have anything to say?"

    "Well...the start in the semifinals just now wasn't very good, but I finally made it to the finals. The goal of this group of semifinals is to advance to the finals. Please cheer for me, thank you!"

    Su Zu waved his hand and replied simply, there was not much stoppage, the other top four players in the same group had already left quickly at this time, ready to return to the inspection lounge to seize the time rest.

    Almost two hours or so, the next group of finals will start soon, at this time it is necessary to rest and maintain the state against every second.

    As for the other last four players who failed to enter the final, they also left the track area near the finish line at the request of the referee and staff.

    What Su Zu didn't expect was that his first interview with CCTV cameras at close range had been broadcast directly to thousands of households through live TV.

    In the village where he grew up, many people saw him on TV at such a close distance for the first time, only one sentence, but the feeling was so familiar and unfamiliar.

      It does take up a lot of it.

      juvenile.

    There is no big family and country feelings, only simple and sincere pride, a teenager who grew up here, he went out.

    He is abroad in Athens, Greece, at the Olympics, on TV.

    Su Yuanhua stared blankly at the interview camera flashing in front of the TV, while Ye Qingmei covered her mouth with tears in her eyes.

    We are so proud of you at this moment!
