What does "noodle dad" eat 2 tons of noodles in 7 years for?

At the end of August, a micro-video of a sanitation worker learning gymnastics for his daughter "had a dream of eating round noodles for seven years" was widely circulated on the Internet, which "touched Jiangcheng" for a while. As early as last May, sanitation worker Hou was reported by local media in Wuhan, when he had been eating noodles for six years. Hou is apricot's father.

I am determined to let my daughter learn gymnastics.

On September 9, the new semester started. 1 1 year-old apricot has been studying gymnastics in Wuhan Institute of Physical Education for 4 years. My father, Hou, rented a room opposite the school. Rent 500 yuan, area15m2. There are two beds in the humble room, one of which is apricot.

This summer vacation, Xing Xing told her father that she didn't want to practice gymnastics. This is not the first time she wants to give up. After hearing this, the father of a sanitation worker in Hongshan District, Wuhan, enlightened her with the example that Liu Xiang fell in the 20 12 London Olympic Games but ran the whole course on one foot. "I taught her to be strong," Hou said.

Hou, 49, from Sanmenxia, Henan, grew up in his lover's hometown of jiangling county, Jingzhou, Hubei. Hou Wei Yan likes sports. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, he dreamed of becoming a man like Huo Yuanjia, fighting with sand in sacks at home and training with sandbags tied to his legs.

When I was a child, Hou often took her daughter to Shashi Children's Sports School in Jingzhou to watch other people's training. At that time, he was doing the work of pulling goods and delivering goods. At that time, Xing Xing watched with fascination a group of little girls practicing gymnastics on the playground. On August 20 10, 4-year-old apricot entered Shashi Children's Sports School to study gymnastics. Hou recalled that his determination was really great at that time. After several twists and turns, on 20 13, I joined the gymnastics team of Wuhan Institute of Physical Education-gymnasts such as Fei, Yang Wei and Li appeared in the team.

However, the annual tuition fee of 14000 yuan here puts a lot of pressure on Hou. His wife has been working in Guangdong to pay off the debts they owed when they built a house in their hometown of Jingzhou, and didn't come back until May this year. From 20 15 to 10, Hou became a sanitation worker in the first team of urban management and cleaning in Hongshan District, Wuhan, with a monthly salary of 2060 yuan and a high-risk subsidy of 2500 yuan a month.

He had to scrimp and save. He ate noodles for seven years until his lover came back. According to media reports, he ate up to 2 tons of noodles. Noodles are cheap. Eat a catty of 820 Liang every morning, noon and evening, which is only 5 yuan in total. A big bag 15 bundle, you can save 5 yuan by buying the whole bag.

The media reported that he "ate dried noodles for seven years to save money", and then eating dried noodles became a symbol of his "father's love for mountains", which also attracted the strong attention of many netizens. Hou told Southern Reporter that he could actually eat anything. "Eat every day, eat noodles every day or eat steamed bread every day." He only has an hour's rest at noon every day. When he comes home, he boils water, and then it takes three to five minutes. "Saving time and money is much more convenient than eating."

The future daughter practicing gymnastics is like "middle age"

Hou's story was filmed as a micro-video by Wuhan Urban Management Committee and began to spread widely at the end of August. Subsequently, the "Urban Management Chat Room" jointly organized by Wuhan Urban Management Committee and related media also invited Hou to participate in video recording.

The local media also reported the interview. The report mentioned that the psychological problems of children of sanitation workers should not be underestimated. Many people's impressions of sanitation workers are still at the level of "pity" and "pity", and many sanitation workers and their children will have unconfident psychology. According to this report, apricot is introverted.

Sometimes, I will re-examine myself. He felt that he was not a good father. "He didn't help his daughter in training and focused on his work." He said he never thought about the feeling of being famous. If someone recognized him on the road, he would say it was his "duty as a father".

Zhao Hanhua said that gymnastics comes step by step, not necessarily until this time, but learning is lifelong. They are willing to continue to communicate with their father. A reporter from Du Nan asked Xing Xing what he would write if he had a small note to write down what he said to his father. Xing Xing replied, "I hope my father can let me do what I want."

In Hou's view, the age of apricot 1 1 is "like our middle age" for a gymnast. Therefore, in the middle age of this daughter's gymnastics career, I really didn't think of a better way. He just repeatedly stressed, "I hope apricots will be promising."

He said with emotion, "She has a bright future. No matter how hard and tired I am, I am willing. I won't be successful in the future. I eat meat every day and feel uncomfortable. "

The love of parents is the greatest.
