At night, while his sisters were asleep, Wang Gang pulled Qiao Yicheng into the yard to talk, still talking about college entrance examinations.
"Brother, I think you should still get admitted to Nanjing University."
"Second Qiang, please stop trying to persuade me. I have decided to take the normal exam." Qiao Yicheng shook his head and said.
Wang Gang said: "There is still a gap between graduates from second-rate universities and graduates from first-rate universities. Finding jobs in the future will be different."
"It doesn't matter, I have already thought about it. I will have the opportunity to take the postgraduate entrance examination in the future." Qiao Yicheng said firmly.
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Brother, listen to me first."
"If you want to take the Normal University exam, your biggest concern is college tuition. In fact, you don't have to worry. Your family savings should be enough for your four-year college expenses."
Qiao Yicheng said sadly: "I have enough, what about you?"
"Second Qiang, you have worked hard for this family for many years, so I'd better keep the savings for you to go to college! After all, it's all your money."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Brother, what I say next may not sound good, so don't mind it!"
Qiao Yicheng laughed and scolded: "There is nothing we can't say between us brothers."
Wang Gang cleared his throat and said, "Brother, are you stupid from studying?"
Qiao Yicheng was stunned. This was the first time his younger brother called him stupid.
Wang Gang continued: "Do you think I need tuition fees to go to college?"
Qiao Yicheng asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Wang Gang said: "Do you know what my score was in the 100-meter run at the sports school today?"
"That's right! I just asked you about Sanli today. How are your grades?"
"10 seconds 3." Wang Gang said calmly.
Qiao Yicheng opened his mouth wide, feeling extremely shocked.
Because his younger brother had a talent for track and field, Qiao Yicheng checked it out and found out what 100 meters 10.3 seconds meant.
The top sprinter in the country has a time of just over 10 seconds.
In other words, Wang Gang, who has not received professional training, is already at the level of a top athlete in the country.
"Teacher Duan and Coach Hu discussed it and asked me to receive sprint training and then directly sign up to participate in major competitions across the country."
Wang Gang said: "With my current level, even if I don't win the championship, I'm still in the top three.
As long as I can produce good results, and with my current academic performance, I will almost certainly be admitted to Nanjing University."
Qiao Yicheng opened his mouth and asked, "Really?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Why should I lie to you? Besides, if I focus on sports in the future, it is not necessary to enter college. National champions are no better than college students."
"No." Qiao Yicheng said seriously: "You must go to college. Even if you are a national champion, you still need a college diploma."
"You are quite persistent about university." Wang Gang said with a smile.
"You can't be an athlete for a lifetime, but a college degree can last you a lifetime." Qiao Yicheng said seriously.
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows, knowing that Qiao Yicheng was right. Although the national championship is an honor, the life cycle of athletes is too short, and they will decline once they are thirty years old.
In fact, many champion athletes now go home to farm.
Qiao Yicheng has this kind of knowledge and is already better than many people.
"I'm not saying that I can't go to college. I'm just telling you that going to college is very easy for me. You don't have to worry about me at all and you can go to Nanjing University without any worries." Wang Gang said.
Qiao Yicheng had a sullen face and did not agree immediately.
Wang Gang continued: "You still have one year before the college entrance examination. Work hard this year. I will review with you and try to get a good score. Maybe you are lucky enough to be admitted to Nanjing University and get free qualifications."
Qiao Yicheng raised his head and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try, and you can review with me. It will also be considered as preparing for the college entrance examination in advance, and you will be more confident in the future."
In fact, Qiao Yicheng also knows deep down the difference between first-class universities and second-class universities. If there is a choice, he would also like to go to a first-class university.
After making the decision, Qiao Yicheng also gained motivation and started studying harder the next day.
Wang Gang also went to the bookstore and bought him a lot of review materials.
Qiao Yichen didn't want it at first and said it was a waste of money, but Wang Gang said that he bought these materials for himself and they would use them together, so Qiao Yichen had nothing to say.
On the other side, Teacher Duan and Coach Hu have already arranged Wang Gang's training plan and conducted professional training on his running posture.
Teacher Duan also took it upon himself to sign up Wang Gang to participate in the city's high school sports meet so that he could become familiar with the competition environment and gain experience.
In the next six months, Wang Gang became very busy. He attended school during the day, received training from Teacher Duan after school in the afternoon, went home to review homework with Qiao Yicheng in the evening, and had to take care of his younger sister.
On weekends, Wang Gang also goes to the river to fish, and then brings fish weighing dozens of kilograms back to the city to sell.
Because fishing can only be done on weekends, the harvest is naturally much less, and the monthly income is greatly reduced. I only have forty or fifty yuan, which is barely enough for the family to eat and drink, and I can't save a penny.
Qiao Sanli will go to the sports school on weekends and practice dancing with Teacher Ying, which is a little start in advance.
Wang Gang didn't let Teacher Ying teach her for free, and gave her 15 yuan a month as tuition.
Qiao Sanli is interested in dance and studies it very seriously. Coupled with the foundation of martial arts training as a child, her dance level has improved rapidly.
Teachers all like good students, not to mention Qiao Sanli is talented and hard-working, what teacher wouldn't like her.
After teaching for three months, Teacher Ying stopped charging tuition and completely regarded Qiao Sanli as his disciple.
Of course there is a big difference between a student and a disciple, a teacher and a master.
Wang Gang also asked Coach Hu to inquire about Teacher Ying, and found out that she was a dance fanatic. She had been learning dance since she was a child, and she was so obsessed with it that she refused to get married or have children in order to maintain her figure.
You can't live without being crazy. Teacher Ying sacrificed so much and naturally achieved great results. He participated in many dance competitions and even performed abroad with large performance groups.
The sports school paid a lot of money to recruit her, and the salary was higher than that of the principal.
That is to say, in this era, if it were more than ten years later, with Teacher Ying's dancing level, the sports school would never be able to hire her, no matter how high the salary was.
I heard from Coach Hu that the principal of the sports school once protected Teacher Ying from the turmoil.
She stayed in the sports school to teach in order to repay her kindness.
Wang Gang was not worried about the teacher's ability and character, but he was worried that Qiao Sanli had been in contact with her for a long time and would be affected by her views on marriage and would not get married or have children in the future.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fortunately, so far, Qiao Sanli has not shown any signs of it.
Time flies by, and the day of Qiao Yicheng's college entrance examination is approaching, and Qiao's family is getting more and more nervous.
Everyone in the Qiao family, in order not to affect Qiao Yicheng's studies, left the housework to Qiao Sanli. Qiao Simei was much more honest both at school and at home.
Wang Gang was not at home because he had to prepare for the competition.
This competition is the domestic qualifier for the World Athletics Cup.
If Wang Gang can finish in the top three, he can represent his country in the Asian team trials.
Not only Coach Hu and Teacher Duan attach great importance to this competition, but also Qiao’s family, even ranking it higher than Qiao Yicheng’s college entrance examination.
During this year, Wang Gang participated in the high school sports meeting and achieved impressive results. Then he participated in all competitions in the country.
Under the arrangement of Coach Hu, he joined the track and field team of Jinling Sports Team, and his daily training was also transferred to the track and field team.
This time Wang Gang also participated in the name of Jinling Sports Team, otherwise he would not be qualified to participate.
Because the Jinling Sports Team is under military control, Wang Gang not only has an establishment, but also joined the army and became a soldier. He can receive a fixed salary every month and enjoy basic benefits.
When Coach Hu asked him to join the sports team, Wang Gang also hesitated. He immediately thought of the Super Dan twenty years later.
Super Dan was born in the sports team, and later retired and enjoyed the treatment of a college student.
The most important reason why Wang Gang was recruited was because of his outstanding track and field performance. In a provincial competition, he broke the ten-second barrier in the 100-meter run, and his best time was 9.97 seconds.
At that time, the entire Jiangsu Province was shocked.
Wang Gang was introduced to the sports team as an outstanding talent and participated in training.
Later, when Qiao Yicheng learned that his younger brother had the opportunity to join the sports team and enjoy the staff, he immediately found Coach Hu and brought some gifts.
I can only say that compilation is still very popular for people of this era.
Wang Gang finally decided to join the sports team because he didn't have to go to high school or go to college.
Because joining the sports team is equivalent to joining a job, the team will arrange studies, which will count as a technical secondary school degree, which is equivalent to high school.
There is a rule during the team that you cannot take the college entrance examination, because you are under military control. If you have excellent grades and win national or international competitions, you can be promoted, or even go to military school and obtain a military rank, but you can only be considered a civilian cadre.
It was precisely because of the many benefits that Qiao Yicheng was able to convince his younger brother to give up going to college.
However, there is a disadvantage to joining the sports team. You have to stay with the team for food, accommodation and training, and you have one day off every Sunday before you can go home.
So Wang Gang didn't care about the Qiao family at all, and his eldest brother Qiao Yicheng couldn't even go back after taking the college entrance examination.
