Chapter 7 Yang Qingshuo (Part 2)
In the reception area, Xu Jingming was sitting there, drinking boiled water and looking at the fitness club. Judging from the decoration and the area, it was pretty good.
"Brother Xu." A familiar voice.
Xu Jingming looked up and saw Yang Qingshuo walking towards him with a smile. It is said that Xu Jingming was young and became the main force of the national team early. In fact, Yang Qingshuo was one year younger and was the youngest brother in the first team of the national team.
The once handsome young man has now gained weight, his hair even has a little gray hair, and his eyes look a little tired.
"A Shuo." Xu Jingming stood up.
"Come on, let's sit inside." Yang Qingshuo took Xu Jingming into a small parlor with partitions nearby. Yang Qingshuo also brought some snacks and fruit plates from the side and poured two of them. glass of water.
"Brother Xu, thank you for your help this time." Yang Qingshuo sat down and said.
Xu Jingming noticed that Yang Qingshuo's right hand was always wearing gloves, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with your hand?" It was such a hot summer, and his right hand was always wearing gloves.
Yang Qingshuo's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled nonchalantly and took off the glove on his right hand. It was a prosthetic leg. Although it was made of bionic skin that looked like a real right hand, you could still tell it through a little observation.
"Your hand?" Xu Jingming couldn't believe it.
"Prosthesis." Yang Qingshuo smiled and put on his gloves. "It happened last year. The iron frame of a high-rise building fell off at high altitude, and there was a little baby downstairs. As you know, I am a professional martial artist. Players have specially trained their nervous reactions. I immediately rushed over and grabbed the little kid and saved him. My right hand was smashed by the iron frame and had to be amputated."
"How could this happen?" Xu Jingming was a little confused.
"I'm a fortune teller. What I almost hit was not this hand, but my head." Yang Qingshuo shook his head and said, "The iron frame fell from a height of dozens of meters. If it hits the The life on the head is gone. Now it's just a hand. Change it. It’s worth it for the little baby to survive! And now the prosthetic technology is very good. He can carry out some simple tasks such as serving dishes and pouring water.”
Xu Jingming nodded slightly: “So you left sports. Bureau? ”
"This is a brave act for a just cause." Yang Qingshuo said, "The Sports Bureau also gave me rewards to learn from me. But I lost my right hand and was not suitable to be a professional coach after all, so I was transferred to the office to do some administrative work. Administrative work The salary is a little low, about 10,000 yuan a month. After all, I am ranked 19th in the world of martial arts. It is not difficult to find a job with a monthly salary of tens of thousands, so I came out to make a career."
Xu Jingming. Clearly.
Most sports bureau jobs don’t pay high salaries. Only by hiring powerful professional coaches, the salary will be quite high. For example, Master Liu Hai, the head coach of the national team, has an annual salary of tens of millions. As a professional coach for a provincial team, the monthly salary usually starts at 50,000 yuan! But administrative work is just an ordinary member of the sports bureau, and the salary cannot be compared with that of professional coaches.
"A Shuo, if you need my help in any way, just ask." Xu Jingming said.
"You have already helped me a lot by lending me money this time." Yang Qingshuo said with a smile, "What I want most now is to see you, Brother Xu, get married soon. How old are you? You are already thirty this year." ”
"Twenty-nine years old!" Xu Jingming said quickly.
“In my hometown, we calculate the age according to the imaginary age.” Yang Qingshuo said.
Xu Jingming blinked and said, "Don't worry about me about getting married. I'll get married in a few months."
"Who's happy?" Yang Qingshuo asked.
"Li Miaomiao." Xu Jingming said, "Don't spread the word. When the wedding is held in a few months, you will definitely get it."
"Li Miaomiao, is it the Li Miaomiao who sings beautifully? Or does it have the same name?" Yang Qingshuo asked.
“It’s her.”
Xu Jingming nodded, “Miaomiao and I don’t know much about many things about getting married and having children, but you are someone who has experienced it. Let your Xiaoyu and Miaomiao talk more later. Chat."
Yang Qingshuo looked down and took a sip of water: "Xiaoyu and I are divorced."
"Divorced?" Xu Jingming was stunned.
"Well, it happened in the first half of the year." Yang Qingshuo nodded.
Xu Jingming understood something in his heart.
Last year, A Shuo became disabled. A professional martial arts player, he still uses a spear! Disabled right hand? I can no longer use a spear, I can't be a professional coach at all, and my future income will be greatly reduced. This may be a reason for divorce.
"The divorce rate is high now." Xu Jingming said.
“The divorce rate here is almost 50%.” Yang Qingshuo shook his head, “It’s better to be alone, there will be less trouble.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
He could feel that A Shuo had a lot of bitterness in his heart.
"By the way, I will leave Binhai soon, and will return to my hometown to settle down in the future." Xu Jingming chatted with his good brothers, chatting about life and some gossip in the industry.
Half an hour passed like this. While chatting, Yang Qingshuo was also very relaxed, as if he had returned to college and the days when he was training with the national team.
At that time, I was carefree and only focused on martial arts.
"Brother Xu, it's time for me to go back." Yang Qingshuo looked at his watch and said, "I have to cook for my son when I get back."
"Hurry up and do your work." Xu Jingming also stood up.
"It's rare for you to come over. I should have dinner with you, but..." Yang Qingshuo was a little embarrassed.
"Haha, I'm going to the capital too, so hurry up and take care of your son." Xu Jingming said.
Xu Jingming vaguely understood that A Shuo lost his father a long time ago, and his mother is now seriously ill and hospitalized. Now he is raising a child alone... there must be a lot of hard work.
"I'm leaving first." Xu Jingming got into the smart car booked online at the entrance of Jiaxin Fitness Club.
Yang Qingshuo, carrying a backpack, watched Xu Jingming leave, then put on a helmet and rode an electric bike towards home. Although driverless smart cars are now very popular and you can buy a car without a driver's license, Yang Qingshuo sold his car long ago.
Half an hour later, Yang Qingshuo, who bought some vegetables from the market, returned home.
This is a large flat house with an area of 200 square meters, which is considered very good in Jinmen City. It cost 5 million to buy the house back then.
"Dad." A boy lying on the sofa wearing virtual glasses excitedly took off his glasses, ran over and hugged his father.
"Taotao, did you enjoy the game?" Yang Qingshuo smiled.
“You can have a lot of fun during the summer vacation.” The boy said happily, “And I also played math and Chinese games in the morning. I have reached the 55th level of math addition and subtraction, and Chinese Pinyin game. I’ve also passed the 22nd level.”
“That’s great.” Yang Qingshuo kissed her son.
The boy hugged his father closely and enjoyed spending time with him.
"I'll make dinner for you." Yang Qingshuo said.
"Okay." The boy sat back obediently and put on the virtual glasses. There was a robot next to the sofa. The robot was the boy's only companion at home.
"I can only afford the cheapest first-level intelligent robot. I don't have time to spend time with my son, so I can only let the robot accompany me." Yang Qingshuo, who was in the kitchen, glanced at his son in the game. I felt quite guilty in my heart.
The first-level intelligent robot can only clean the house, help look after the son, and simply chat with the son. Nothing else, such as cooking, is too complex and cannot be completed by a first-level intelligent robot.
"What I can do is try my best to maintain my son's life." Yang Qingshuo looked at this home.
If you divorce your wife, your family property will be divided equally!
Yang Qingshuo seems to still live in this house, but he needs to give his wife 3.9 million in cash! All the cash in the family, including the real estate, was mortgaged with two million in cash...all given to my wife.
To make matters worse, his mother was seriously ill and could not help take care of the child. Moreover, the cost of treatment for the serious illness was very high. He had already mortgaged his property to the maximum amount and even sold his car.
He is now heavily in debt, but he must hold on.
"Didi didi."
Yang Qingshuo pressed her watch, and a light screen appeared. It was a fat woman with a haggard face who looked like she was in her fifties or sixties. She was Yang Qingshuo's Mother.
"Xiao Shuo." Yang's mother's breath was also a little weak, "I checked a lot of information on the Internet. I have a genetic defect, a rare disease. Special medicines only delay, there is no cure at all, so don't bother. , I will go home and spend time with my grandson, my life will be happier, and you will be relaxed too "Mom, don't worry, I signed a long-term contract with the company and I'm rich," Yang Qingshuo said, "Just take care of yourself and don't worry about anything else. I'll see you around eight o'clock tomorrow morning." ."
"Xiao Shuo." Mother Yang really cares about her son.
In just over a year, she became disabled, lost her good job, got divorced, and was heavily in debt. Now she was raising a child alone and had to take care of her mother. Mother Yang wanted to die, but she knew her son very well. With his character, if he seeks death... I'm afraid his son will suffer for the rest of his life.
"Mom, I continue to cook, Tao Tao is still waiting to eat." Yang Qingshuo said.
"Okay." Mother Yang also hung up the phone.
Yang Qingshuo put the lid on the pot, and the flames on the stove rose, and he watched silently.
"How come my life has ended up like this?" Yang Qingshuo thought.
He was also the proud son of the emperor!
“If I had listened to Brother Xu, listened to the coach, concentrated on martial arts, and not fallen in love and got married early... I would have gone further in the World Martial Arts Competition, and my income would have been much higher. It wouldn’t have happened. So embarrassed now.”
Yang Qingshuo recalled the past.
He fell in love when he was a freshman. It was his first love. After joining the national team, he kept in touch with his ex-wife through virtual networks. When he was 22 years old, he had just reached the legal age for marriage. She got married and had a baby.
Although he is also very dedicated to martial arts, he must admit that falling in love, getting married, and having children have distracted him a lot of energy and made his achievements lower. You must know that he is one year younger than Xu Jingming. Compared with the same age group, he is completely comparable to Xu Jingming.
“I’m not as focused as Brother Xu. I didn’t suffer any fatal injuries while I was in the national team. Brother Xu even broke his leg. In a few years, he can get up again and break into the quarterfinals of the World Martial Arts Competition! His marksmanship is even better Recognized by the entire world martial arts circle, recognized as one of the top ten marksmen in history, and earned the title of Gun Demon. I am also a gunsmith..." Yang Qingshuo said silently, "I am content with the status quo, and I want more. Spending time with his wife and son is nothing like Brother Xu’s effort.”
“Time will never come back, and there is no point in regretting and worrying. Just move forward step by step.” Yang Qingshuo lowered his head and touched his watch. The light screen popped up, Yang Qingshuo clicked on it, and started to pay the bills: water bill, electricity bill, gas bill, virtual network fee, son's milk money, monthly loan repayment...
There is no hope for his career, he is in heavy debt, he has seniors at the top and young at the bottom, and he can only rely on himself for everything.
He is the backbone of this family!
Yang Qingshuo looked up and saw the thin body of her son Yang Tao wearing virtual glasses sitting on the sofa in the living room: "Tao Tao, dad can't give you much, but even if I risk my life, I will Let you grow up happily and be able to support yourself in this society!”
The aroma of the stewed meat gradually spread to the living room.
“Dad, it smells so good.” His son Yang Tao sniffed and shouted happily.
"I've cooked your favorite ribs for you, they'll be ready later." Yang Qingshuo said with a smile.
……
Xu Jingming was sitting on the high-speed train back to Binhai City, looking out the window.
"How could this happen?" Xu Jingming understood Ah Shuo's current situation, and felt heartbroken and helpless. "He is disabled, his career is ruined, and the whole family still has to rely on him..."
"All I can do is help, but in life, Ah Shuo still has to fight on his own." Xu Jingming said silently, "A Shuo, come on!"
In life, sometimes you can't resist, you can only endure it silently. (End of this chapter)
