"The national record of 800 meters is 1 minute, 46 seconds and 44 seconds set by Mu Weiguo at the 12th Asian Games held in Hiroshima, Japan on October 12, 1994..."

Zhou Zhiyuan was also inexplicably excited, and even his body began to tremble: "Chen Lao, after seven years, the domestic record of 800 meters has been refreshed..."

Chen Lao's lips trembled, and no one could understand that at this moment, as a sportsman, an old man who devoted his life to sports, the waves in his heart at this moment: "Yeah, it's been seven years... The key is not seven years. This little baby He is only 16 years old, he is only 16 years old, he has a long way to go, train him well, maybe we can break the Asian record and break the world record!"

Zhou Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Chen Lao meant.

Li Liang, he is only sixteen years old!

He has a great future!

......

"Break the record!"

Standing at the finish line, Zhang Ben roared, jumped up, and waved his fist excitedly: "Break the record!"

Zhang Ben's face was full of excitement, Li Liang, a young man, at the beginning, the evaluation given by the system was that his achievements were limited. Now in just half a year, under the training of Zhang Ben, he can break the national record...

This is an achievement that the athletes can be proud of, and it is also the result of the hard work of the coaches, which is also something to be proud of.

Wu Haiyan and Chang Yuan also reacted at this time, and their faces flushed instantly: "The record is broken!"

Rencheng athlete, Rencheng Sports Team athlete Li Liang, broke the national 800-meter record in Licheng National Games Trials!

"Break the record?!"

Wang Ben was stunned, and his heart was very complicated.

Also a student from Donghuan No. 1 Middle School, Wang Ben was very happy for Li Liang to break the domestic record. But he was still a little disappointed that he didn't break the domestic record...

"Break the record!"

The moment Li Liang crossed the finish line, he also glanced at the timing board. He was stunned for a moment, and even carefully recalled what the domestic 800-meter record was.

When he realized that he broke the domestic record, Li Liang instantly felt full of energy, he cheered and ran wildly, shouting: "Break the record!"

"Clap clap..."

Everywhere Li Liang went, whether it was athletes, coaches, or the staff of this trial, they all applauded. Although there is no audience here, everyone respects this record.

"Coach, I broke the record..."

Li Liang tried to squeeze out a smile, but there were tears on his face.

It was the coach who discovered him, took him to the city sports team, and trained him to make him what he is now.

"I see, you did a good job, very good!"

Zhang Ben first praised a few words, helped him wipe away his tears, and his face became solemn: "Breaking the record now is just the beginning, we need to continue to work hard in the future, and make persistent efforts to break the Asian record and break the world record!"

Li Liang nodded heavily, his eyes becoming more and more firm.

......

In the afternoon, Wang Ben and Li Liang had an additional certificate in their hands.

Of course, Li Liang broke the record, making three announcements throughout the stadium. And both of them got a bonus, their faces were full of smiles, and their mouths could not close.

Back at the hotel and packed up, Zhang Ben said goodbye to Chang Yuan and Wu Chunyan, and took the car to go home first.

Without meeting with Li Liang and Wang Ben, the two of them were picked up by Chen Lao. When they were picked up, the two of them might not have realized that they were already qualified to join the provincial sports team and stayed here directly.

Zhang Ben left Licheng in a complicated mood. Wang Ben and Li Liang created brilliance here, half of which belonged to him.

Only this brilliance is also a kind of ending.

He is only a second-level coach and is not yet qualified to teach in the provincial team. Even when his disciples were transferred to the provincial team, he was not eligible to participate.

Zhang Ben felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was still the original coach of Li Liang and Wang Ben, and the people from the provincial team didn't even say a word to him.

"This is contempt..."

Zhang Ben smiled bitterly and set foot on the way home.

......

After a few transfers, Zhang Ben hesitated when he stood at the entrance of the village.

His home is in the southwest of Qi Province, north of Donghu County, less than thirty miles away from Rencheng. This is a hilly area, the mountains here are not high, but they are all stone mountains, and there are not many fertile fields.

His home is surrounded by mountains, in a small plain. This plain is said to be a plain, but it is actually a low-lying area between the mountains, with a radius of no more than ten square kilometers.

Fertile fields naturally need to grow food, and villages are basically built near mountains.

Zhang Ben's home is in Zhangjiagou, a village with a very earthy name.

The solar calendar has entered October, and the lunar calendar is already September, and the weather is getting a bit gloomy and cold.

Zhang Ben looked at this familiar village that he hadn't been to in 23 years, faintly wanting to cry.

"Daben, are you back?"

While restraining his emotions, an old man on the opposite side was riding a tricycle and stopped in front of him: "I haven't come back soon..."

"Third Master..."

Zhang Ben hesitated and recognized the old man. This is the east entrance of the village, a family surnamed Li, the most senior elder. Contrary to his family, Zhang Ben's family lives at the west entrance of the village.

It's not just that he didn't go home for the new year, it's been twenty-one years and he hasn't returned to this village.

After being unemployed in a previous life, he worked everywhere without the knowledge of his family. Finally, he bought a homestead in the outskirts of Licheng. Wherever he settled down, he took over his parents.

After the demolition, he naturally became a native of Licheng, and he never returned to the village.

Speaking of the demolition, Zhang Ben was taken aback for a moment.

"It's a pity that I was just a dutiful person in my previous life. I didn't play spinach, and I didn't experience any big things. I just focused on working to make money..."

China's economy is now in the stage of take-off, how many development opportunities does it have?

"Go home quickly, I won't have sex with you..."

The third master was riding on three wheels and muttering: "It's not easy for a non-staff teacher... Your mother has been talking about it for almost a year."

Zhang Ben doesn't care either. Now the villagers are all very skilled. Being a teacher is a profession that everyone envy, but teachers are also in the eyes of the villagers, but they are clearly distinguished.

Non-staff teacher, not an iron rice bowl...

Entering the village, all the way to the west, but many acquaintances, Zhang Ben greeted them one by one.

When standing in front of his house, Zhang Ben didn't go in immediately.

Instead, he looked at the home that he hadn't entered in 21 years. Zhang Ben's parents knocked down the house and rebuilt it the year before, and built four bungalows, which were well cleaned, just for Zhang Ben's marriage.

"Big run..."

While looking at his home, a familiar voice came: "You child, what are you looking at when you enter the house, don't you know your home?"

"mom..."

Zhang Ben's throat was a little dry, and his eyes were instantly moist.

It's been more than 20 years, and haven't seen mother again. When see mother again, Zhang Ben feels a little congested in his throat.

In fact, my mother is not very old. She is less than fifty years old this year, and she is actually quite fashionable in her dress. Compared with the average rural women, mothers of the same age are not older.

"What's the matter, who made our single dog sad? It's been almost a year since I didn't go home. Why did I go home and wag its tail when I was wronged?"

I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and this meeting, a few words hurt my heart. Zhang Ben touched his nose, his face strange.

Familiar tone, familiar demeanor... and deep miss.

The mother's name is Zhou Guifang. She walked out of the door and looked around: "Didn't you swear that you will bring your girlfriend home for the Chinese New Year this year? Why, you still haven't caught up with the girl before the appointed time?"

Zhang Ben didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his mother was still like that, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

This is because, when the New Year was just this year, Zhang Ben boasted to his mother that he didn't want to go matchmaking, and brought his girlfriend home to celebrate the New Year.

At that time, Zhang Ben thought that it would take a year to catch Huang Lan...

I didn't pick up on this, otherwise I'd have to worry about it again. Entering the yard, Zhang Ben looked around: "Where's Dad?"

"I haven't gotten off work yet..."

Zhou Guifang glanced at him: "Single dog's nose is spirit, just bought ribs, you go home... By the way, it doesn't seem to be a weekend today, why are you thinking about going home..."

Zhang Ben's father's name was Zhang Fugui, and he worked in a factory that cracked rocks.

After thinking about it, my father should be getting off work soon.

It's almost evening now...

Father Zhang works from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm...

"I just brought my teammates from Licheng to the game, I won't go home for a few days..."

Zhang Ben put down his backpack and helped his mother pack the ribs: "Mom, I've changed jobs..."

Zhou Guifang was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Ben continued: "This time, it's within the establishment, and I'm serving as the coach of the city sports team..."
