Sixteen misses of the old man

"Congratulations on your victory today, but when we return to our school, we will defeat you." After the game, Li Jixue's coach generously congratulated Chang Cheng on his victory. He was still very dissatisfied with the defeat in this game, because Jiang Cheng U15 only played good goals for ten minutes, and Li Jixue performed better than Jiang Cheng U15 at other times.

"The result of the next meeting will be the same." Chang Cheng was not showing weakness. The two of them tried hard, and the more they held each other tightened.

"Old Chang, you've put it away." Mulin's voice was no less than the sound of nature at this time. Chang Cheng pulled out his already numb hands without revealing his traces and returned to his team.

"Childish!" Mulin looked at Chang Cheng and kept shaking his hands, giving a pertinent evaluation.

“…”

When Gao Yan returned home at night, she heard Chang Cheng singing the true hero in a tone-incomplete voice. "What's so happy? What's your son?"

"I'm asleep, can you take time next weekend?" Chang Cheng took Gao Yan's handbag.

"What's wrong?"

"Next weekend our team will go to Yiling. On Saturday game, you can also take Diandian home so that the two old people can also meet their grandson." Chang Cheng took out the store's turnover from his bag and was about to start settlement, and he talked to Gao Yan.

"Okay! We haven't been back for a long time, so it should be fine if I arrange the store." Gao Yan was also very happy when she heard this, and began to consider buying something for her parents when she went back. "Let's buy something for her parents when she went back this time."

"Okay, you have the final say." Chang Cheng continued to settle the accounts.

"Buy some clothes for your parents."

"Okay. Then you can watch me finish the game with Diandian and go back together."

"Does Yiling have a team? Why don't I know?" Gao Yan then remembered that Chang Cheng led the team to Yiling to compete.

"I heard that Yiling selected some teams composed of students from some junior high school students to represent Yiling's competition."

"Are they strong?"

“To be honest, it’s not strong.”

"Compared with your team?"

"My team must be better than them." Chang Cheng straightened his chest and looked like a muscular man.

"Then I won't go to see your game."

“Why?”

"Does your team abuse my hometown team? I am also a fan of our hometown team."

"Take it down! You don't know how many people there are on the court, and it's still fans?" Chang Cheng made fun of Gao Yan.

"Twenty-two people, eleven on one side, the goalkeeper can catch the ball with his hands in the penalty area." Gao Yan used his fingers to list the football knowledge he knew one by one.

"Wrong, there are 25 people in total, there are referees, one referee and two linesman. If the fourth official is included, there will be twenty-six people."

"Go to death! Why don't you count the coach and the substitute?" Gao Yan slapped Chang Cheng with her hands, and the two of them played together.

This time, Chang Cheng and Jiangcheng U15 Yiling trip were much easier than the last trip to Three Gorges. This time they would not go back the same day as the last time, but stayed in Yiling for one night. This is what Director Jiang meant, because he was worried that the continuous long-distance journey would make the young players too tired. With Director Jiang Tao's logistics support, both transportation and accommodation were arranged properly, and Chang Cheng would not be tired as both a father and a mother like last time.

The game started on time at 2:30 on Saturday afternoon. Since the opponent was not very strong this time, Chang Cheng was preparing to check the situation of the substitute lineup and gave a major change in the starting lineup. Goalkeeper No. 22 Zhang Jin, left back No. 15 Zhao Xiaoyun, right back No. 2 Zhang Kai, right back No. 6 Chen Wei and fourth Li Bing became the starting center back, the midfielder was still the sixth Zhang Jie, No. 19 Wang Feng and No. 20 Wu Qifan were the starting center forwards, and the burden was not light. Left winger No. 12 Dong Mingjie, right winger No. 21 Jiang Kaile, center Tao Peng.

"Are you too bold? You'll change it all?" Mulin complained about Chang Cheng's approach.

"These young players also need to be tempered by competitions, so as to ensure the thickness of our team's bench." Chang Cheng still insisted on his own.

"Okay, you have the final say." Mulin could only sit on the side and watch the situation on the field change.

The substitute's ability is still somewhat different from the main players. Some young players feel very nervous when they start for the first time, and they are a little nervous after they come on the court. Although Yiling U15's strength is not very strong, they still gained the upper hand in the game. In the 23rd minute, they used a corner kick from the centre-back No. 4 to hit the goal of U15 in Irieze City, breaking the deadlock.

After conceding a goal by Jiangcheng U15, he woke up from his dream and was able to use his strength normally and start counterattack. In particular, the two full-backs frequently assisted, showing their excellent assisting ability. Ten minutes after conceding the ball, Duan Peng received a cross from Zhao Xiaoyun to equalize the score. Both sides entered the second half with a one-to-one score.

At the beginning of the second half, Chang Cheng started to substitution, replacing Yang Zhi with Wang Feng with poor performance to strengthen the control of the midfield.

The midfield was controlled, but in the front line, except for Duan Peng who could use his personal ability to threaten the opponent's goal, the other two wingers seemed a little mediocre. Chang Cheng had no choice but to use Wang Bowen to replace Jiang Kaile, who performed worse. Wang Bowen said he was a right winger, but he was actually an inside shot. Not only did he have to find opportunities to score, but he also had to connect the team's offense.

Another left winger, Dong Mingjie, was reasonable. After Wang Bowen came on the court, Dong Mingjie's position was even higher, playing double striker with Duan Peng.

The effect of this substitution was also immediate. Wang Bowen dribbled the ball from the right side, and suddenly cut in lightly, flashed an empty space and passed the pass. At this time, Duan Peng had already started, and a diagonal line inserted and threw away the guards to receive Wang Bowen's straight pass, turning and shot directly! Duan Peng scored twice and scored the second goal of the game. In the end, with Duan Peng's two goals, Jiang Cheng U15 won the away game with difficulty.

After the game, Chang Cheng handed over the team to Director Mulin and Director Jiang to send two staff members in charge of logistics to find his wife and son.

There were not many viewers at first, and Chang Cheng saw Gao Yan and his son Chang Yuan talking to the two old men from afar. The two old men turned their backs to Chang Cheng, and they couldn't tell who they were.

When Chang Cheng walked in, he saw: "My parents? Why are you here?" It turned out to be Gao Yan's parents Gao Yongle and Wu Cuichun.

"We heard Gao Yan say that you are competing today, so come and have a look." Gao Yongle looked at Chang Cheng happily.

Gao Yan's parents are just ordinary juvenile farmers in the Yiling Mountains. It is an hour's drive from the mountains to the competition venue. If the two elders take the bus, they have to transfer twice on the way to reach the competition venue. Chang Cheng understood that the two elders miss their daughter and grandson, and hope to meet earlier.

"I'll call a car, let's go back together." Chang Cheng didn't want the two old men and their wife and children to take a car for more than an hour to get home.

"No need, Gao Ming will come to pick us up later." Gao Yongle smiled and grabbed Chang Cheng, "It was also what he sent us. He just sent oranges to the city today, so he sent us. He will pick us up after he delivered it later. The time is almost done, let's go to the roadside to wait for him."

Gao Yongle led his grandson Chang Yuan in front of him, and the grandson and the grandson were having a happy chat. The old man was often amused by Chang Yuan and leaned backwards. Gao Yan supported his mother and followed behind, and the mother and daughter gathered together to chat about family matters. Chang Cheng carried his backpack and dragged a suitcase at the end.

As soon as the group arrived on the side of the road, a double-row truck was parked in front of them. "Dad! Aunt! Sister! I saw you just turned the corner. Get in, there is no parking here!" A cheerful voice came from the car. It turned out that it was Gao Ming, he was Gao Yan's cousin, who had been working in his hometown, and now he has taken over the orange forest at home.

Chang Cheng and his men quickly got into the car. Chang Cheng threw the suitcase into the cargo box behind and sat in the passenger seat with his bag. Gao Yan and her parents took Chang Yuan to squeeze in the back seat. "Diandian, I'll see the police lower their heads later." Wu Cuichun told his grandson.

"I know." Chang Yuan nodded and looked outside by the window.

Gao Ming's car drove very fast, and after twenty minutes he left the city and entered the mountainous area. The winding mountain road did not slow down Gao Ming's speed, and he knew every curve here. In an hour, he got home in less than fifty minutes.

"Wow, is this a newly-launched house?" Gao Yan asked in anger at the two-story house. "You said that we didn't come back during the Chinese New Year, just to get a house. She also coaxed us to say you are going on a trip?"

"I'll give you a surprise. I could have done it a year ago, but the old man insisted on adding one floor and making two floors. He said that he would leave a room alone for Diandian, so he wasted time and could only push it back." Wu Cuichun looked at his daughter and grandson in front of him in love.

The house covers an area of ​​about 180 square meters, and there is an open space in front of the door to dry the millet you planted at home. There is also a vegetable field behind the house, with some green vegetables and peppers planted. Opposite the house is the orange forest. Now is the season for orange flowers to bloom, and the small white flowers emit a faint fragrance.

"Where did you get so much money to buy a house?" Gao Yan knew that this new house must have cost a lot.

"Don't worry, the policies have been improved over the years. Your dad and I have saved a few money, plus some money you bring back every year. That's about the same. Besides, the old house used to be small, and when Diandian was still young, he could squeeze for a few days. Now Diandian is big and can't squeeze anymore. Moreover, Diandian grew up in the city and is not used to life here. So now we have a better house and you will have a comfortable place to live when you come back." Wu Cuichun said while taking Chang Cheng and his family into the new house.

The living room on the first floor is very large, with dozens of chairs neatly placed against the wall on both sides. There are two rooms, one of which is the two old people, the other of which is Chang Cheng and his wife, and behind it is the kitchen. Chang Yuan's room is upstairs, and in addition to the bedroom, there is also a room specially reserved for Chang Yuan's study, which is specially designed for him to do his homework.

"Yeah! No need to pinch your nose to go to the bathroom anymore!" Chang Yuan rushed out of the bathroom excitedly.
