After returning to the sports school, it will be a holiday in less than a month.

Because the New Year of 2005 is coming soon.

The young people cheered for joy at the thought of going home.

Even Su Shen felt a little uncontrollable when he thought about seeing his parents.

"After you go home, you all should also pay attention to your basic training and keep your body in good condition. Don't turn into big fat guys when you come back. I won't be able to spare you." This is what Ningdebao said to them before leaving.

The last sentence of the confession was "harsh words".

As for Su Shen...

Ningdebao actually secretly gave him a second-hand Nokia mobile phone.

She said that this was something she had used before and eliminated it, and now it is for Su Shen to use. It has already been charged with phone bills and has a family number tied to it.

Why do you do this? Is Ningdebao really so rich that everyone is given a mobile phone?

Of course it's impossible.

Even at this time in 2004~2005, mobile phones were not something ordinary students could own. They were all high-end gadgets.

It's expensive.

Ningdebao gave this to him just to...

You can have "academic discussions" and "academic discussions" with Su Shen at any time.

Unconsciously, Su Shen's research and influence on the entire new system have become more and more important. In addition, Ningdebao is preparing for this vacation time, which is just a good time to work on the things mentioned in the paper and write an in-depth article again.

Try investing in national journals.

Therefore, during this period, it is okay if you cannot contact anyone else, but it is absolutely impossible if you cannot contact Su Shen.

In this way, Su Shen was forced to have a Nokia mobile phone inexplicably.

You have to explain it carefully when you get home. After all, my parents don’t have this thing at home now.

Yes, that’s right!

Wouldn't it be nice to buy one for your home?

But Su Shen just thinks too much.

The current price of mobile phones is not the era he will live in in the future. Now, a Nokia "Phalaenopsis" that has been on the market for more than 2 years costs close to 3,000 yuan. Yes, it is so expensive, let alone the new model, which most people cannot use at all.

rise.

It is completely incomparable to the later days where you could buy a smartphone for just a few hundred dollars.

After walking in, Su Shen was stunned for a moment, and then he slipped out of the mobile phone store in despair.

Then he thought that his family might need this living money even more now, so he gave up the idea for the time being.

I am also caused by the thinking of my previous life, and I have forgotten my current living standards and price levels.

After Su Shen and Zhou Bing said goodbye, they went to the bus station in Xiangshan City. After queuing for a while, they bought a bus ticket to the ancient town.

Arrive at the ancient town.

He first went to Lin Yanfang's barber shop.

It's not about anything else. My hair is already very long. I want to look energetic when I go home to see my parents. I don't want my parents to think that I have suffered too much outside. Moreover, I promised to bring a gift to Lin Yanfang, but I can't.

forget.

This time, the two of them hadn't seen each other for several months, and the entire diary was filled up in a big book. So if he didn't come here first when he arrived in the ancient town... Su Shen was afraid that he would "chasing his wife in the crematorium".

Su Shen walked into the barber shop, with a typical style of the early 21st century and a strong atmosphere of the times. In later generations, it would be called XXX style and XXX design studio. But nowadays, barber shops are basically called by the same name——

XXX hair salon.

At this time, hair salons basically didn’t have any derogatory connotations, they were just a place where hair was cut and styled.

Of course, if you insist on saying it, there are many who are not simple.

Su Shen is obviously a frequent visitor here. He used to come here often to get his hair cut. As for why, everyone can tell with their toes.

After all, the direction between here and Guyi Village, his home, is not in the same direction.

At the other end of the ancient town.

He comes often, so he must have "profound meaning".

Walking in, Lin’s father and Lin’s mother were working together in an orderly manner.

Father Lin cuts hair, and Mother Lin helps customers clean up before and after the haircut.

When Mother Lin saw someone coming in, she was about to shout "Welcome" subconsciously, but when she saw it was Su Shen, she immediately showed a smile on her face and said: "It's Xiao Tian, ​​you sit down first, Xiao Fang hasn't come home from school yet.

"

Su Shen nodded and sat on a small bench to wait.

Then everyone started chatting about each other.

When they heard that Su Shen had broken the 100-meter record for middle school students in Xiangshan City and won the Pearl River Delta Invitational Championship, the two elders were a little surprised. It seems that for them, they still can't tell the difference between sports students and sports school students.

The difference is, they are all about sports anyway.

But these kids who practice sports have never heard of anything like breaking records or winning gold medals.

In fact, when they first heard that Su Shen stopped studying and went to a sports school, they didn't quite understand.

Everything is low-grade except for high-level education. Twenty years from now, it will be the same, let alone this era.

If you don't make any achievements, everyone will think you are wasting your youth.

But when they heard that Su Shen had a gold medal and a bonus of 3,000 yuan, they felt a strong sense of shock.

3,000 yuan... only a few months ago?

In this day and age, many people in cities only earn seven or eight hundred per month, and only seven or eight thousand per year, let alone in small towns. This is almost worth a year's work.

income.

Could it be that being a student in a sports school makes so much money now?

Su Shen didn't explain much.

When Su Shen was about to finish cutting, a familiar voice like a silver bell came in. No need to think that this must be the girl he had longed for.

"Mom and Dad, today I... um? This, little, little Tim? Why are you here?"

"You're back?"

Seeing Lin Yanfang's surprised expression, Su Shen smiled and was about to nod, but Lin's father held him down and said that if you move, your hair will be shaved. There is no way, for the sake of your hairstyle, don't turn into the moon.

On the surface, Su Shen could only remain still, looked at Lin Yanfang in the mirror and said, "Yes, we are on vacation and will be back soon."

"You seem to have darkened a lot and become stronger. You..." She was about to talk about the diary, but when she saw that the occasion was not right, she stopped again. She wanted to say a lot anyway, but now she can only hold it back.

The way his little mouth was slurping made Su Shen really want to laugh.

After cutting his hair, Su Shen felt much more refreshed. After he stood up and paid, Mother Lin smiled and asked the two children to go out to reminisce about old times and talk. At this time, Lin Yanfang said "Huh" and came over to use

He gestured to the top of his head with his hands, and then to Su Shen: "Xiao Tian, ​​you seem to have grown a little taller."

"Really?" Su Shen hasn't paid much attention to this issue recently. He is focused on training and studying, and he really hasn't looked to see if his height has changed.

"I'll give you a measuring tape. Don't move." Lin Yanfang took out a small yellow tape measure from her schoolbag and asked Su Shen to step on it against the wall. She found a small bench and slowly moved the tape measure on it.

Pulled it over Su Shen's head.

After gesticulating for a while, he said: "175.4CM, you have indeed grown taller again, you are now 175cm."

Although in the sprint world, the golden height is between 180 and 185, in fact, in Guangdong Province, 175 is already a very good height. There is no problem in saying "quite tall".

What's more, this was still Guangdong Province in early 2005, and the average height was even worse than it would be twenty years later.

Su Shen is also very happy. If his height can be increased to 178 or 180 in this life, then his stride disadvantage can be greatly improved. Although the height genes in his family are not that good, the nutrition of later generations has long proved that

Well, even if there is no genetic advantage, if you pay attention to nutrition and exercise since childhood, you may grow to a good height.

In order to grow taller, Su Shen has come up with the most scientific and cutting-edge method in the future - called "sub-limit resistance height stimulation method".

This method is based on adequate nutrition and is a scientific way to grow taller mentioned by Dr. Drabik in his paper "Youth.Sports.Training". The approximate content is -

Experiments have proven that "sub-maximal resistance training" from an early age will have a positive effect on height stimulation.

However, the modern domestic teaching is that children are still too young to practice strength and resistance training...the president is not tall.

This statement is still believed by many people even in 2021.

Completely disregarding the saying that European and American junior high school teams do not conduct basic strength training.

"Sub-maximal resistance training" is one of the most suitable training methods for teenagers today.

In fact, as long as you don't do extreme weight-bearing and do this kind of scientific "sub-maximum resistance training", you can actually stimulate the growth of your height in a positive way. Unfortunately, Su Shen had no channel to learn about this back then, and there was no one around him who could teach him this.

Knowledge.

When he found out later, it was already useless.
