On July 17, on a flight from Yanjing to Chong'an Airport in Haixi Province, Ye Qin sat in his position, touching his pocket from time to time, looking a little excited and a little disbelieving.

"Okay, that's a bank card, not cash, you can't lose it." Nie Fangping, who was sitting in the seat next to Ye Qin, glanced at Ye Qin's movements along the way, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Ye Qin exhaled lightly, his mood was still quite agitated and swaying, the bonus of 10,000 yuan was in the bank card in his pocket, and he felt a little dizzy from the time he came out of the field management center until the plane took off.

"I made 10,000 dollars! My prize is 10,000 dollars! ”

What Ye Qin kept in his mind was this number, over and over again, this was the most money he had in his hand since he was a child, which was a huge amount of money, and he was apprehensive and excited along the way.

After returning to Yanjing from Sherbrooke, neither Ye Qin nor the other team members stayed in Yanjing for long, and basically everyone went home under the leadership of their respective coaches after completing the formalities.

Although HO removed Chinese mainland from the epidemic area on June 24, the atmosphere in Yanjing at this time was still quite tense, and even Ye Lidong's promise to eat many team members could only be stopped.

And probably because of various special circumstances, the field management side also paid the bonuses to the athletes very quickly, and basically completed the process on the same day.

Ye Qin was also not attached to other provincial teams, municipal teams or sports school units, and the two bonuses of the World Junior Championships were directly sent to his hands, and then he was a little distracted all the way.

"Coach, when you go back to Xiushui, I'll invite you to dinner!"

Ye Qin sat in a daze on the seat for a long time, opened the visor and glanced at the clouds flying high in the sky, and suddenly turned his head and said to Nie Fangping, who was pretending to sleep.

"Keep the money well, this is your first bonus, don't spend it indiscriminately." Nie Fangping slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ye Qin, smiled, and gently patted Ye Qin's head, "Don't tell others in a big way, if you don't feel at ease, just give it to your grandparents." This bonus is still low, but I estimate that the province and the school should give you another bonus when you go back. ”

Nie Fangping knew Ye Qin's living environment and living conditions, this bonus was not small for Ye Qin, probably because of the junior competition, he didn't go through those seven-seven-eighty-eight processes, the prize money of 10,000 yuan was directly developed in Ye Qin's hands, and Nie Fangping couldn't do anything like a coach's commission, so he simply and directly let Ye Qin collect it and use it to improve the family environment.

However, in addition to the words, it is still indispensable to explain, the poor are suddenly rich, especially young people of this age, they still have to wake up. Especially in the growth environment of the countryside, it is necessary to pay attention. Many people in Xiushui County have fewer opportunities to make money, let alone change to villages and towns. Not to mention being coveted by other people or something, but with his age, he has never seen it, and his neighbors and relatives come to borrow money or something, so he can have less trouble and less trouble.

Moreover, the total bonus is not much, but in addition to the field management center, according to Nie Fangping's estimate, there should be in Huitou Province and Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, but the specific amount is not very easy to guess.

The prize money directly given by the athletics management center, 10,000 for the champion, 8,000 for the runner-up, 5,000 for the third place, and a bonus of 1,000 yuan for the top eight places, although it is not much, but this is directly issued on behalf of the team, and it belongs to the team to reward the participating athletes.

Seeing Ye Qin's still excited look, Nie Fangping couldn't help but smile on his face, especially when Ye Qin said yesterday that he would definitely give himself a national championship, Nie Fangping's heart trembled slightly.

After a trip abroad and a few days of competition in the World Junior Championships, he could clearly feel the obvious traces of growth on the young man.

When he was a sports school coach, he knew that athletes could not be confined to a small place, but they had to go out and see a bigger stage in order to grow.

This is also the reason why after Zhao Youcheng talked about the World Junior Championships, he did everything possible to let Ye Qin participate in the World Junior Championships. The people of Yanjing City in June and July were almost half empty, and the atmosphere was quite tense, but he had no idea of retreating.

He has a clear understanding of Ye Qin's situation, but it is precisely because he is clear that he needs to go out even more. Only when you go out and enter a larger circle can you open your horizons and find your own goals and directions.

What he saw in Ye Qin's eyes was no longer the hesitation and confusion he had before, although he didn't say it at that time, Ye Qin, like most young people, didn't know what he wanted, but would be encouraged or spurred by the words of the people around the coach and teacher.

Now, what he sees in Ye Qin's eyes is not blind confidence and pride, nor is it inferiority and cowardice brought about by his background.

Everyone's reason for running is different, but as long as you can find the one to support you, it's enough.

He didn't go with him this World Junior Championships, facing the game and facing the players, although there were team leaders in the team to guide other coaches, Ye Qin needed to face it alone.

The experience of such a world-class competition is very valuable for the growth of young athletes.

You can recognize the world, and you can also recognize yourself.

He heard in the athletics management center that there was a Sheng Hai hurdler, and the coach and the athletes had been running to various foreign arenas since 01, training with competitions, and constantly seeing high-level athletes.

This kind of growth is very amazing, only by constantly experiencing the baptism of various competitions, through various complex living situations and difficulties, athletes will have a qualitative leap from mentality to will.

Ye Qin's performance in this World Junior Championship, Nie Fangping was impeccable, and what he liked even more was Ye Qin's growth.

Ye Qin subconsciously touched his pocket again, and watched Nie Fangping next to him lean back on the seat and close his eyes, his heart still couldn't be calm.

A year ago, he still had to scrape together to get the high school tuition, and in a year, he was able to earn a lot of money on his own.

Nie Fangping said that the school or the province would give bonuses later, Ye Qin was not sure, but he had already thought about how to deal with the current 10,000 yuan.

Five thousand of them will be given to grandparents, one is to reassure their hearts, they ran to practice sports in high school, they have some pimples in their hearts, at least now they have proved that they can make money, and there is a patchwork of last year's tuition, and it should be returned to others when they have the ability. Three thousand to the uncle, the money that the uncle gave him during the Spring Festival, now he can't use it.

As for the remaining two thousand, he was going to keep them for himself, and he wanted to go to Linzhou to meet someone.

Outside the cabin window, the blue sky has no end in sight, and large white clouds change shape, like a fairyland.

Ye Qin looked out the window again, pulled on the sun visor, reached out to put on the headphones on the seat, slowly closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep in the roar of the plane, and seemed to hear a song singing in the headphones in a daze:

Finally find yourself and find yourself escaping

Something pulled me back and I forgot why

All I know is that you won't say to me what you used to say again

But it was carved into the sky tonight

So I'm not going to give up, and I'm not going to be defeated

Life is getting better sooner than it seems

But I will be stronger

……

When I'm in the dark, I still believe

Someone was looking at me

I saw the light

It brightened my destiny

Shine all the time

I will no longer be afraid

Follow it where it leads

……
