This afternoon, Xie Yixin felt some strange atmosphere in the practical class.
All the children he was responsible for instructing were quite obedient during the instruction, but when he came back after completing a circle, their movements had changed to what they were before.
"We all told you not to let your arms sink when you hit the club. If you sink your arms so obviously, all your previous practice was in vain, right?"
Although Xie Yixin has strong professional qualities, when he met such a child, he couldn't help but say a few more words, even though he didn't mean to blame him.
The kid didn't refute. After Xie Yixin walked away, he resumed his usual batting action and chatted with his good friends from time to time:
"Hey, what do you think of Teacher Xie's teaching?"
"It feels quite professional, but it's a bit unfamiliar. We are not students of the college. He uses the college's set of standards to ask us. Is this necessary?"
"I heard that Teacher Pang's requirements are much looser than ours, and Teacher Pang's students are not constantly corrected in their shooting movements."
"..."
Chirping noises were heard one after another. Although the children who came here to learn how to play billiards all liked billiards, many of them were still uncomfortable with the sudden move to professional instruction.
Generally speaking, relying on the authority of the coaches, the children will not have much backlash, but today, for some unknown reason, these children were not very obedient.
Although Xie Yixin could sense that something was wrong, when he got closer, the children all fell silent again and refused to say anything when asked if they had anything to do. Xie Yixin had to put the matter aside for the time being.
This afternoon's practical class still focused on the practice of shooting movements and postures. Some children have already entered the batting training session, but these are mainly children from the Youth Association. Children who have not entered the Youth Association can only watch helplessly.
Peers of the same age play there "happily".
After the afternoon training, many children rushed to occupy the table here to play with their peers. Even the snooker table was snatched away by a few older children.
Yu Bowen and Lu Jiarui were not involved, and Lu Ning certainly wouldn't do it. He would not take the initiative to play at the table unless others invited him. Even if someone took the initiative to invite him, he might not be able to play.
Ling Zhi had no intention of playing golf. After storing his clubs, he was going to go out alone to find a place to eat.
But just as he was about to leave, he saw Lu Ning sitting alone on a chair, staring blankly at other children playing ball.
"What's wrong? Your dad didn't come to take you home?"
Ling Zhi walked over and asked.
Xiao Lu Ning shook his head:
"My dad said he would pick me up later and asked me to stay here for a while."
"Oh, how late will he come over? Did he tell you to prepare dinner in advance?"
"I don't know, but he left money for me and said he would go out and buy something to eat when I was hungry."
"Then why don't we go out for something to eat together?"
Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
After leading Lu Ning out of the club, Ling Zhi realized that neither Yu Bowen nor Lu Jiarui had left. When he went over and asked, he found out that they were discussing where to eat.
"By the way, are you planning to come back after dinner and continue practicing?"
"Yes, we do this often and are used to it."
Yu Bowen said.
"Then can you take us with you? I've only been here for a few days, and I'm not very familiar with which stores have good food."
"Okay, of course."
At the end of the day today, Yu Bowen felt that he was very happy getting along with Lexus.
Ling Zhi always spoke with him in a consultative tone, and never acted with any airs of air. Yu Bowen was very lucky to choose to practice with Ling Zhi, so it was certainly not a problem to go have a meal together now.
The little fat man on the side pondered for a while and suggested:
"Why don't we invite Brother Ling to go to the mutton soup restaurant we often go to!"
"Yeah!"
Naturally, Ling Zhi had no objection, and Lu Ning didn't object either. He was just worried about whether the money he brought would be enough for a meal of mutton soup.
When they arrived at the store that Yu Bowen and the others frequented, Ling Zhi found that there were not many customers. Although the store was not big, with only 6 tables, it was still relatively neat and tidy.
Ling Zhi first asked them what they wanted to eat, then arranged for them to sit down and walked to the front desk:
"Boss, please give me 3 bowls of mutton soup and a portion of beef and potato rice bowl!"
"okay!"
After paying the money, Ling Zhi sat down and began to listen to Yu Bowen and Lu Jiarui chatting:
"Everyone seems to be spreading some news about Teacher Xie this afternoon. Have you heard about it?"
"No, what's the matter?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that Teacher Xie's guidance was too strict, and I made a big mistake when I was refereeing a game. I forgot to take out the black eight..."
The little fat man told the story vividly, while Ling Zhi was thoughtful on the side.
In fact, billiards referees are not divided into Snooker, Chinese or American. During the training, all three types of billiards will be trained, but some referees will focus more on one type of billiards game.
Xie Yixin is a famous snooker billiards referee. Ling Zhi once saw him refereeing international Snooker professional games on TV, but he did not expect that he also refereed Chinese billiards.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising. In recent years, Snooker competitions have not been held very often, but Chinese-style competitions have been held in full swing, so you can see the familiar Snooker competitions in Chinese-style competitions.
The referee's figure is also normal.
Putting aside these backgrounds, Ling Zhi found Xie Yixin's refereeing mistake to be quite new. Is this incident true or false? Even if it is true, why was it brought out at this time?
"Where did you hear this news?"
Ling Zhi asked Lu Jiarui beside him.
Lu Jiarui thought for a while:
"I forgot who said it, but I happened to see Ah Huang and Brother Shuangxiang and the others gathered together during the afternoon break, so I went to eavesdrop a few words, and then I heard Teacher Xie
rumors."
"Wait a minute, Ah Huang, forget it, who are these twin brothers? Why do you guys give each other nicknames so casually?"
Yu Bowen rolled his eyes at Lu Jiarui and explained:
"Brother Ling, don't listen to his nonsense. He usually calls himself these nicknames. I have never given anyone else a nickname!"
The little fat man was not happy:
"You're just talking nonsense. Who said I was the only one who called me these nicknames? Brother Ling, if you don't believe it, go and find out. Brother Shuangxiang's name is already known to everyone in the Youth Association!"
Ling Zhi asked dumbfounded:
"So who is this so-called Shuangxiang brother?"
Yu Bowen began to explain seriously:
"His original name is Sun Xiangxiang. It is because there are two characters in his name that he was nicknamed 'Double Ring' by some friends. The 'Xiang' in his nickname is not the same as the 'thinking' in his name.
, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s a word or not. Anyway, the pronunciation is the same, double...well, Sun Xiangxiang, he can’t tell the difference.”
Seeing Ling Zhi and Lu Jiarui snickering on the side, Yu Bowen blushed instantly:
"Brother Ling, I didn't mean it. I just called him Shunzui. I would never mix up with them and give them nicknames!"
Ling Zhi quickly comforted him:
"Okay, okay, I don't care about these things between you. You can relax and don't be so nervous. I'm just wondering whether this thing Xie Cai said is true?"
Lu Jiarui began to express his opinions carelessly:
"It should be close to ten. As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall. Even if it's not Teacher Xie, it must be another referee."
"If this is true, what do you think? I mean, if a referee really made such a mistake."
"Of course the referee is extremely unqualified! Such mistakes will occur, which shows that he is not suitable to be a referee at all!"
Lu Jiarui first expressed his opinion.
Yu Bowen thought about it and expressed his opinion:
"I think the referee must bear full responsibility for this kind of mistake, but it shouldn't go as far as the question of whether he is suitable to be a referee, because as long as we are human, we will make mistakes."
Ling Zhi nodded and looked at Lu Ning:
"What do you think, Lu Ning?"
Lu Ning suddenly panicked. He didn't expect that Ling Zhi suddenly kicked the ball to him. He didn't want to participate in today's topic.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ning finally shook his head and said, "I don't know."
The little fat man next to him couldn’t hold himself back:
"No, I don't understand. This matter is obviously a problem with the referee. Can't you see? Speaking of which, I have always felt strange. Why did you choose to play billiards when you are so short? You can't wait to grow taller.
Come again?"
As soon as this sentence came out, it seemed to poke Lu Ning's weakness. He hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing.
By chance, the mutton soup and rice bowl were served, and the little fat man's attention was instantly diverted and he no longer struggled with this issue.
Ling Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief, and just when he was about to enjoy his rice bowl, Lu Ning suddenly spoke:
"Brother, how much does this bowl of mutton soup cost?"
"16, what's wrong?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Ning turned pale:
"I just brought 10 yuan today, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Ling Zhi interrupted him:
"Hey, it's all a trivial matter. I'll treat you to dinner today, and you don't have to pay for it."
"That won't work. You still have to pay the money. I can't eat for free from Brother Ling."
"I will return it to my brother tomorrow if I bring enough money."
"Hey, why are you two so polite? It's rare for Brother Ling to treat you. Look, you all don't show any respect! Brother Ling, in this case, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow!"
"Oh, okay, then I will leave with our Boss Lu tomorrow."
Lu Jiarui patted his chest:
"No problem, I'll cover it!"
Lu Ning was hesitant to speak, while Yu Bowen stared at Lu Jiarui, with a look of resentment on his face. Only Lu Jiarui was at ease, enjoying the bowl of mutton soup in front of him.
Ling Zhi had a clear view of the expressions of the three of them, and he understood them a little better. As for who was treating them, he didn't care at all. He didn't worry about the little fat man's dinner.
After eating, the four of them returned to the club together, but as soon as they entered, they realized that something was not right about the atmosphere.
I saw a group of children gathered around the table where Jiang Jun often practiced, noisy and no one knew what was going on.
Ling Zhi brought three people to the table and found that it was not Jiang Jun who was playing ball, but a stranger he had never seen before.
What's interesting is that Jiang Jun himself is standing by the table, silently watching this man play.
