"I haven't been home for a few days at the end of the year, and if I have to leave, can't I stay for a few more days?"

Ye Qin carried a backpack and a suitcase in his hand, standing under his own wooden tree and looking at his grandmother who had been wiping her tears, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Grandma, when the competition is over in August, I'll come back and stay with you for a few days."

Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month, go home after the end of winter training, the head and tail add up to more than a week, the time at home is too short, can not accompany the grandparents, thinking that they may take a few months to half a year, during the period I don't know if I am free, in the face of the two old people, each time I will always feel a little guilty.

"Okay, Ye Qin is an athlete now, this is work." Ye Guandi looked at Liu Lanzhi who was wiping his tears, and looked a little irritable, "Young people just want to go out, what can they do if they hide in this mountain, look at those boys who are working, haven't they all started to leave in the past few days." Your grandson is still a big athlete, it's about getting ready to train and then compete, what's there to cry about. ”

"I feel sorry for my grandson, and at the end of the year, he didn't live at home for a few days." Liu Lanzhi's originally low mood was suddenly a little angry when she was teased by Ye Guan's first words.

"Wait for your grandson to make a lot of money, and then take your old woman and go to live in the city to see if you are used to it." Ye Guandi bent his back and grinned.

"Just go, with me by my grandson's side, there is a man who cooks and boils water, you old bones, what's the use." Liu Lanzhi snorted lightly and showed no weakness.

Ye Qin watched this scene from the side, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull back slightly, although the two elders were bickering, the atmosphere of parting was somewhat diluted.

In the eyes of outsiders, grandpa Ye Guandi has always been the same, taking care of big and small things, and he is the head of the family, but the familiar family knows that as long as grandma speaks, grandpa will basically let it.

Ye Qin remembered that he used to hear the uncle of the next-door neighbor talk about his grandparents when they were young, when the grandfather was twenty years old, he was tall and big, and he did good farm work, and there were many people in the four miles and eight towns who came to the matchmaker.

Grandpa was going to go on a blind date one day, it was a family in the next town that was quite well-off, and the things were ready at that time, but because the road was far away and unfamiliar, he was thirsty for a while, and the traffic was not good that year, and the road was not particularly easy to walk, so Grandpa went to the family's house to ask for water to drink.

It turned out to be a coincidence, at that time, there was also a girl in the family who was on a blind date that day, and the family killed chickens and sheep, and by mistake, I thought it was the new aunt who came up to recognize the door, and the family was grandma's house, and then the first side looked at the right eye.

Later, there were some small turmoil, and in the end, I apologized or something, and persuaded my grandparents in the neighborhood to be tied by a thousand miles of marriage, so that the trouble was slowly eliminated.

Over the past few decades, although the two elders have also quarreled and often complained, they have always been very loving in private, and among their peers, except for the little thing about his son, it can be regarded as family harmony.

"Ye Qin, be more careful along the way and listen to the leaders."

Finally, before leaving, Ye Guandi walked up to Ye Qin again and whispered.

Although he has not even been out of Xiushui County a few times in his life, he is limited by his vision, but he still understands some sophistication in his life, and he also knows that a good man has to go out, and he will not be able to do anything if he is trapped in this small place. In just two or three years, Ye Qin's growth has completely exceeded his understanding and expectations since he entered high school, and there is nothing to say more.

"Don't worry, grandpa." Ye Qin nodded solemnly, and said to the grandmother next to him, "Grandma, I'm leaving, you and grandpa have to take care of your health." ”

"Go, remember to go and pay New Year's greetings to your teachers first!" Liu Lanzhi wiped her eyes lightly again, "When you have a holiday, remember to come back early." ”

"Got it!"

Ye Qin turned his head, a little stunned in his heart. When I left home to go to school, I didn't feel so emotional, but this year's Spring Festival, it seems that both my family and myself have become much more complicated in this regard.

I probably said it myself, I may often go to foreign competitions this year, and my family is still a little unaccustomed to it. Just like in the World Junior Championships, thousands of miles away from home seems to be unattainable in the concept of the elderly.

"Let's go." Uncle Ye Mingcheng, who was standing on the side, saw that the time was almost up, and picked up Ye Qin's suitcase, "Don't worry, your aunt and I are at home, and we will take care of your grandparents." ”

There was no aunt among the people who bid farewell to Ye Qin today, and he gave birth to a girl to his aunt last year. Now the child is still young, and the winter wind is strong, so he stays in the room and does not come out.

Seeing the happy appearance of the uncle, Ye Qin was also sincerely happy for the uncle, and after he came back, he also sealed a big red envelope for the little cousin. Everything is fine at home, and Ye Qin feels that the current family is the most comfortable in the past few years.

Although it is not wealthy, the family does not have that strong burden to carry, even if it is a variety of fields and vegetables, life can be more relaxed.

It may be difficult for people who are not burdened by such a huge burden to understand what it is like to have a smile on their faces after the big stone in their hearts falls.

"Uncle, when I earn enough, buy a big house in the city, and our family will move in."

Out of the house, Ye Qin remembered what his grandfather had just teased, and suddenly said to Ye Mingcheng.

"Huh?" Ye Mingcheng was slightly stunned, then smiled, "You just have a good life, your grandfather just said it casually." ”

"Really." Ye Qin said very seriously, this idea had already germinated in his heart for a long time, and this moment was just getting stronger.

If he wrote the same sentence in his notebook when he entered the first year of high school, fate is not something I can choose, but I must shoulder the responsibility.

If he has the ability, he needs to shoulder his own family.

Ye Mingcheng smiled, "You work hard, I don't have to worry about it, but you really take your grandparents outside and let them walk around, it's good, and it's less troublesome if you're not at home." ”

"Hmm." Ye Qin nodded silently.

The two walked all the way, and when they arrived at the bridge at the entrance of the village, there was already a van waiting there.

The owner of the car is one of the first people in the village to get rich, and in recent years, he has opened a small supermarket outside and bought a van to deliver goods. Knowing that Ye Qin was leaving today, Ye Mingcheng contacted him in advance.

As soon as he saw Ye Qin and Ye Mingcheng coming, he took the salute very enthusiastically and put it in the car.

After saying goodbye to his uncle, Ye Qin got into the car directly. The Spring Festival when he returned home was peaceful and uneventful, but this warm atmosphere was what he liked.

After leaving the arena and training ground, after a rare period of rest, Ye Qin only felt that his whole body seemed to be full of strength now, and the life of his family and his own expectations always seemed to be able to produce a kind of erection power.

Taking the van to Xiushui County, Ye Qin first went to the house of the principal Wen Tongshi to pay a New Year's greeting, he still has half a year to graduate, but Mizuki University has already decided, he will start to prepare for the World Championships this year, and the time to return to school is getting less and less.

"Ye Qin, I don't know if you will have time to come back when the college entrance examination comes, but you must come back for the graduation ceremony, and this is indispensable for you."

When visiting the New Year at Wen Tongshi's house, Ye Qin was pulled by Wen Tongshi and his lover for lunch, during which Wen Tongshi told him that Ye Qin must remember to go back to school to attend the graduation ceremony.

After that, he went to Mr. Yan's house to pay New Year's greetings, and happened to bump into Mr. Yan who took the object home, and he was instructed before and after, he was supposed to leave Ye Qin to eat at home, but he had to go to Coach Nie's house in Nanxiu City in the afternoon, so he shirked it.

It took two or three hours to drive to Nie Fangping's home in Nanxiu City.

The time was almost dinner time, because he had called in advance, as soon as Ye Qin entered the door, he found that there were many people in Nie Fangping's house, waiting for him to eat.

After eating, Nie Fangping sent his grandchildren away, and the two masters and apprentices were locked in the small study to talk together, Nie Fangping was asking Ye Qin about his current situation, and Ye Qin told Randy Hunter many of his novel training techniques word for word.

He knew that although he had left Xiushui No. 2 Middle School and was no longer training with Nie Fangping, Nie Fangping was still the track and field coach of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, and he had always wanted to cultivate more potential athletes.

"Will you be back in the team tomorrow?" The two masters and apprentices chatted about training and competition for a while, and finally Nie Fangping asked about Ye Qin's itinerary.

Today is February 13, 2005, the fifth day of the first lunar month. The first stop of the National Indoor Track and Field Championships in Shenghai is on February 19, and now the time is very tight.

"The day after tomorrow." Ye Qin scratched his head and said a little embarrassed, "I'll go to Linzhou tomorrow, and then go directly to the Shenghai Training Base for adaptive training, and Assistant Coach Chen will wait for me there." ”

"Tomorrow in Hangzhou?" Nie Fangping was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and laughed softly, "I forgot about you young people. ”
