Chapter 55 A New Half-Year Goal—Participating in the U15 Representative Team

In the evening, this long-planned event finally came to an end, and the exhausted spirit and even the body were heavy.

"Ah—so hungry." But the two had to follow the coach's car back to the club and ride their bikes home.

Fortunately, Mr. Sasaki thought of this. The two children stayed outside for a day. If they didn’t go to see the children off in person, they were already a step behind other parents. Now it seems too incompetent to ask the children to ride back by themselves. Thinking of this, Mr. Sasaki drove here, but he didn't expect the second point, that is, the direction from the meeting place was blocked in a mess. He was afraid that it would be easy to get in and difficult to get out, so he turned from a side road to the nearby station.

"Pfft, Mr. Sasaki came to pick us up." Takano turned on his cell phone after the end, "But he was blocked outside and couldn't enter the venue. Let's find him at the nearest station."

After Mr. Sasaki's car stopped for a while, he saw two teenagers in sportswear running over, their steps were very brisk, like two cheetahs walking side by side, they walked in unison in the shoulder-high grass, The thick claws sank into the mud without making a sound.

He stared at this scene and fell into deep thought. He remembered that when he was a child, he and his elder brother ran to school one after the other. The figure in front of him always walked much faster. The sounds of running are often combined together, giving people the illusion of running side by side.

But soon, after passing through that passage, the two said goodbye and turned in different directions. Mr. Sasaki fell into his own memories and didn't even start the car to approach.

Sure enough, when the car door opened, Lang Zhi complained: "Dad, didn't you see us? I called you just now."

"Haha, I'm sorry for being dazed. I'm hungry. Let's eat some bread to cushion my stomach."

"Is mom at home alone?" Gao Zhiye didn't gobble it up like Lang Zhi did.

"Miss Keiko is also here, so I have to go back quickly."

Lang Zhi's mouth was bulging, and he realized belatedly that he only cared about eating and didn't think about anything else, and he was short of Gao Zhiye's trick, which was probably the accumulation of bits and pieces, making adults always think that he was Not well thought out, not as mature as the other kid.

"Humph--"

"What are you dissatisfied with?" Gao Zhiye was a little puzzled, could it be because he was in the limelight today, but he didn't?
"It's nothing." Lang Zhi leaned against the car window to eat, with his butt facing Gao Zhiye.

"Take the subway to school tomorrow, and go to bed early tonight." Gao Zhiye would never talk to him before, but today there seems to be a reason for his temper, so he should say a few more words to ease it.

"I know, it's too early for you to say that."

The two started arguing again, until they opened the door and saw the content playing on the TV, which was the live broadcast footage of Gao Zhiye sleeping today, and Lang Zhi finally felt at ease.

"Hahahaha, this picture of you was actually photographed."

Regardless of how embarrassing he was being put on the shelf, Gao Zhiye pinched his knuckles, and he really couldn't let this brat go, so let's practice his newly learned fighting skills tonight.

During dinner, the family chatted while eating, about today's weather, about Takano's embarrassing sleep, about the process of activities, about professional baseball players, and of course about the final ball speed test.

"So Takano, are you the fastest ball in Kanto now? That's amazing!" Shen Qing didn't know much about the event.

"No, it's just that the Kanto side has the fastest handball pitcher in the second year of junior high school." Takano retorted, not to mention anything else, there is Sato, who has a ball speed of 140 in Kinoshita, and he is a first year in junior high school. So I can't participate in today's event.

"That's right." Lang Zhi dared to echo after the person concerned refuted, and he realized belatedly that today's event gave Gao Zhiye a big show, "But today you let people from other teams They all know your details, and they will know how to deal with you next time."

"So it's still awkward now", Takano changed the subject: "Did Miss Keiko cook today's rice, it tastes very good."

Shen Qing also noticed the emotional changes between the two children. Even though she was very excited, she didn't bring it up to today's event. After the meal, she gave a red envelope to her son alone.

The adults feel that they are hiding it well, but their own sons and stepsons are always different. The kind of expectation and pride from the heart cannot be deceived, and the children can feel it too.

Gao Zhiye glanced at the transfer information on his mobile phone. At the same time, there was no movement on Langzhi's mobile phone. He was still doing strength training under the supervision of his brother, "Langzhi, I will buy that CD for you tomorrow."

"Really!" The child jumped up happily, and then he became awkward: "No need, anyway, it doesn't make any difference if you record it." Today he has already made a fuss, and even accepting gifts, he always feels a little sorry for Gao Zhiye.

"There is a special gift for the CD, and a poster is also given away." Thanks to Tuolan, Gao Zhiye already knows the promotion methods of these merchants very well.

"...Alright then." After another long time, Lang Chi finished practicing the menu, as if pretending to remember suddenly: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet."

"Congratulations to me..."

"No. [-] ball speed in the second year of junior high school or something."

"It's too late."

"Worry, remember to call me tomorrow."

------

On the second day, the usual training ended, Gao Zhiye thought that the impact of yesterday's activities had passed.

"Coach Nigong told me to go to the office?" He thought along the way that he didn't seem to do anything today.

When his butt settled down and he was still feeling uneasy, Coach Ninomiya gave a big news: "Takano-kun, there was a meeting between coaches yesterday. I was selected as the head coach of the Japanese U15 team this year."

"Ah--congratulations to the coach." So, why did you call yourself here.

"This news has not been announced to the public, and I will have a total of 5 coaches. The WBSC U15 competition will probably be at the end of August. At that time, after the summer competition, 8 players will be selected from all over the country to represent Japan. So, how are the players selected?"

Coach Ninomiya folded his arms and glanced at the child opposite: "The power to choose players is given to the coach. As your coach, I definitely hope to take you there, there is no doubt about it."

Gao Zhiye had this premonition, but when he really heard it, his body still shook, and his adrenaline immediately excited his body, 'WBSC, the World Series? ? 'Is this what the coach expected?It really puts pressure on him!

"So, it happens to be February now, and there is still half a year to go before August. I also think it's time to set a new half-year goal for you. Don't indulge in the existing achievements, and don't practice blindly to cause injury, Takano-kun, you Has always been a child who matured beyond expectations, you can do these two things."

"Ok——!" Gao Zhiye came out of the office with a hot face, probably showing a little blood on his face, so Coach Ninomiya finally said, "Take it easy, as long as you practice according to the menu, you will be fine." problem, don't put too much pressure on it."

"Not good, super excited." At the same time, I was a little worried about gain and loss. If I got injured or performed poorly during the six months, the current excitement would all turn into disappointment. A sophomore in junior high school."

Probably because of the ball speed test yesterday, Coach Ninomiya was afraid that the kid who had just practiced baseball would be addicted to the small area of ​​Tokyo, and hoped to frame him with a bigger goal.

　Thoughts on this reorganized family:

　　Mr. Sasaki was looking at another fantasy scene through the two children. Although he didn't realize that his actual sight was not focused on the two real children, the reason for everything was that even with these two The child gets along alone, and he is always a background board, and there is still too little communication (the whole change process still needs to be alone or lead the child to solve some problems to create);

　　Although Shen Qing wanted to keep a bowl of water level in her heart, her parents and stepson were born with one high and one low hands, even if they were raised to the highest level, it would still be one high and one low.

　　So, that's how Lang Zhi's petty temper came about. Although he couldn't explain it clearly, his emotions were sensitively reflected
