Chong'an is a county-level city, and like Xiushui County at the administrative level, it used to be a small county with a small population in the remote mountainous area of northern Haixi Province, but since the end of the eighties, the local tourism resources have been greatly developed, both in terms of popularity and economic development.

Relying on its own tourism resources, a small county town has gradually owned a railway station and an airport, as well as the only undergraduate college in the northern part of Haixi Province, which is one of the few undergraduate universities named after county-level cities in the country.

Ye Qin wore a mask and followed Nie Fangping all the way into Chong'an Airport, his eyes barely blinked, and he kept looking left and right.

Chong'an Airport is a civil aviation 4C-level airport, which is a little smaller than the 4F-level and 4E-level airports in the first- and second-tier cities in China, but for Ye Qin, who entered the airport for the first time, it has been extraordinarily magnificent. And the thought of taking a plane soon, I was a little excited and nervous.

"Don't look at it, remember what I told you, don't talk to other people casually when you arrive in Yanjing, especially those who have cold symptoms, you must stay away."

In front of the security checkpoint, Nie Fangping, who was also wearing a mask, carried a duffel bag, turned his head and gently patted Ye Qin, who was staring at him, to bring his attention back.

"Got it, Master!"

Ye Qin sighed lightly and nodded, this time point is a special period, in a small place like Xiushui, I only vaguely heard of it, and I can see some TV news reports, but some things still feel very far away for young people.

Nie Fangping didn't dare to be careless, this trip to Yanjing was more troublesome, mainly because the Youth Sports Department of the provincial team had already reported Ye Qin's name, but no one accompanied him, but Nie Fangping and Ye Qin's two masters and apprentices went on their own, and they had to solve all aspects by themselves.

Changing the boarding pass and going through the security check, because of the special period, in addition to the fixed salute and the check, there is also a body temperature test, and it took more than half an hour to enter the waiting room.

Through the glass of the waiting room, Ye Qin saw the plane up close for the first time, when he was a child in Xiaoli on the clouds, occasionally caught up with the clear and cloudy weather, and his friends looked up at the sky, and their eyes would chase the figure of the plane smaller than a bird skimming the sky.

And when you look at it up close, you will feel that it is a huge behemoth. Ye Qin is already a young man, so he can't clapping his hands and asking questions happily like many children, but he can't restrain the tension and excitement in his heart.

After waiting in the waiting room for almost an hour, Ye Qin followed Nie Fangping and finally stepped on the plane to Yanjing.

At the moment of takeoff, Ye Qin felt a brief roar in his ears, and his body also had some suppressed discomfort, but soon after the climb, the discomfort in his body faded, and he regained his spirits.

Ye Qin looked through the window at the clouds floating in the air, and the sunlight seemed to shine on them, a bit like the marshmallows that his grandfather bought for him when he was a child. Further away are blue skies and white clouds with no end in sight.

For the first time in his life, he looked at the sky and the clouds from this angle.

"I haven't seen enough of the whole way, let's sleep!"

Nie Fangping next to him looked at Ye Qin, who had been pulling the window and looking outside since he got on the plane, and gently patted him on the shoulder.

The view of the sky outside the window is a novelty when you look at it occasionally, but it will become boring if it is such a scene for tens of minutes and hours.

"Coach, how long do you have to get to Yanjing?"

Ye Qin listened to Nie Fangping's voice and turned his head, his expression was quite calm, but in the depths of his eyes, there was excitement and excitement that could not be hidden.

He had also thought that maybe one day he would have money, and he might also take a plane, and he had thought about the decoration inside, and what the process was from boarding to takeoff, but he never thought that he would have the opportunity to get on the plane so soon and go out.

The price of a plane ticket is already worth his tuition for half a semester, such a price is astronomical in Ye Qin's opinion, and he is really sitting on the plane at the moment.

And, too, go to Yanjing, which is the capital.

For a high school that had never even stepped out of the county seat before, and suddenly in just one year, from Nanxiu City in the region, to Zuohai City, the provincial capital, and even now to the imperial capital of Yanjing, Ye Qin occasionally felt unbelievable when he thought about it.

From getting on the plane to the present, he suddenly realized the meaning of Yan Ning's sentence that sports changed his fate.

If he follows the normal trajectory, he may be admitted to an undergraduate university, or he may only be able to study a junior college, or he will fail the college entrance examination and go out to work, no matter which one he wants, it should take a long time to buy a plane ticket or go to the capital Yanjing.

"It's about an hour or two." Nie Fangping looked at the irrepressible excited expression on Ye Qin's face, and shook his head helplessly.

But he didn't say much, for a teenager who grew up in a small place, there will always be many first-time attempts, and he was no better than Ye Qin for the first time.

Squinting his eyes again, Nie Fangping was thinking about Yang Anjun's proposal before leaving, hoping that Ye Qin would be able to replace Zuohai City in the National Urban Games in October this year in the name of exchange.

Since the first City Games in 1988, this year is the third edition. The cities in Haixi Province that are eligible to participate in the City Games are Zuohai City and Hedao City, and Yang Anjun's proposal made Nie Fangping somewhat moved.

October this year is the 5th National Urban Games, and Haixi Province has been participating in two cities since the first Games, in addition to the provincial Zuohai City, and the sub-provincial Hedao City.

Although the two cities belong to the same provincial-level unit, the internal competition has not changed, especially for a sports meeting like this, if it is overshadowed by Hedao City, to be honest, Zuohai, as the provincial capital, is not so good-looking.

This is also one of the reasons why Yang Anjun, the person in charge of the Youth Sports Department, is willing to make a special trip to Xiushui County to test Ye Qin.

Athletes participating in the National Games, the National City Games and the national individual official competitions sponsored by the National Sports Commission are required to register for representative qualifications. To participate in the official national individual competitions, you must represent a qualification unit approved and recognized by the relevant business department of the National Sports Commission or the national individual sports association. All provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, the People's Liberation Army and industry sports associations are the basic participating units of the national competition.

So far in this World Junior Championships, although he has the qualifications to be selected, whether he can go or not, Nie Fangping is not quite sure whether Ye Qin can participate, after all, the local and national teams are too far apart, and he, a former sports school coach, can't touch the upper echelons.

And even if he can participate, if Ye Qin has the opportunity to compete in this year's City Games, it will be a good event.

Athletes have to train, but they have to compete.

Regardless of the level of achievement, the most important thing for an athlete is to adapt to the game.

Like many people watching TV, athletes of all ages have excellent psychological quality on the field, this does not come out of thin air, some athletes are born with psychological quality and excellence, but most people's growth is compared through one event after another.

Compared with young athletes of the same age, Ye Qin is very scarce in terms of training time and competition experience, and Nie Fangping hopes to let Ye Qin accumulate experience as much as possible in the past few years.

Next semester, Ye Qin will be a sophomore in high school, and there are only two years left, and Nie Fangping hopes that he can hurry up.

As for talking about universities......

Nie Fangping opened his eyes and glanced at the young man next to him who was sticking his face to the window, and slowly closed it again.

If the World Junior Championships go well this time and get a place, or the city games in the second half of the year will have a good performance, what can it be like to go to college?

However, Nie Fangping will not directly tell Ye Qin that it is always a good thing for young people to have the heart to learn cultural knowledge, even if they retire in the future, they can have more choices.
