The next day.

In the middle of the second class in the morning, on the large playground of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, Ye Qin stood in front of the rostrum and accepted the certificate of "outstanding student" awarded to him by Wen Tongshi.

For Ye Qin now, an outstanding student in a school is actually not very important at all, but Ye Qin took it very seriously, looking at his name written on it, his mood was agitated and very excited.

Standing in front of the rostrum, Wen Tongshi glanced at the teachers and students of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, and said slowly to everyone, "In half an hour, Ye Qin will leave the school and go to Shenghai, and then participate in the next series of competitions abroad. After that, because of the time of the competition, Ye Qin probably couldn't catch up with the college entrance examination and the graduation ceremony of returning to school, so here today, I announced Ye Qin's graduation in advance. ”

On the playground, among the thousands of students, some people suddenly applauded, those were Ye Qin's classmates, the people who Ye Qin first knew and were familiar with when he entered Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, although after the first year of high school, Ye Qin was busy with training and competitions, and many people gradually drifted away, occasionally returning to school, everyone seemed to have a little estrangement, and at most asked Ye Qin where he went and who he saw.

But when Ye Qin stood on the rostrum and was told in advance by the principal that this was his graduation ceremony, they sighed the most, and they were the most proud and proud.

The applause began with a burst of applause from the senior class, followed by more and more people, and finally the whole school applauded wildly.

In recent years, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School has undergone tremendous changes, from a third-rate county ordinary high school to a middle school that combines sports and education to vigorously develop sports students and middle school athletes.

Since Xiushui No. 2 Middle School began to change his philosophy, his influence is no longer a middle school, but has radiated to more than a dozen township middle schools and even primary schools in the county, including No. 1 Middle School and No. 3 Middle School, and there are many parents who are not knowledgeable.

"If you can't study, maybe you can try to practice sports."

"Rural people, even if they can endure hardships, teacher, as long as you are willing to teach, he can continue to practice even if he grits his teeth."

"I now know that if I run well, I can go to college!"

"My kid can't study, but he is in good health, and he is solid enough, you say that practicing sports is hard, so no matter how hard it is, it is not as hard as his father moving bricks on the construction site."

……

I don't know when, Xiushui County from the county seat to the primary school have begun to spread a variety of things about sports running, thousands of years of immersion, everyone knows that reading can change fate, but now, there is one more thing about sports to change fate.

If there is only one athlete participating in the Olympic Games in the entire Xiushui County, but there is only a peasant boy who practices sports and enters the national team, most of the people will know about it, and they will sigh twice, saying good luck, good talent and so on.

However, Ye Qin's initial support came from the support of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, and from Wen Tongshi's desire to give more students a new way out. Ye Qin's role model is in the past, the promotion of school enrollment, and even the county education bureau and the culture and sports bureau are all behind the promotion, and now it has gradually infiltrated the lives of many people in Xiushui County.

It won't be that sentence again, you can't read well, you can't get into high school or college, just go to work, just learn a craft, at least, at this time, someone will occasionally mention it, or go to practice sports and try it.

Yan Ning stood at the back of the queue of students in the large playground, and she appeared here today, along with teachers and students from many schools.

Every day at noon, the second period of class is the radio drill time, and occasionally the school has a major event to announce at this time.

And before she came, she already knew that Ye Qin would be awarded the "Outstanding Student" certificate today.

A thin certificate of merit, without other gifts, is an honor that Xiushui No. 2 Middle School can cultivate the best students in its school.

In Ye Qin's third year of high school, before the college entrance examination is approaching, except for Ye Qin's own direct exemption from the examination and being recruited by Shuimu University, there have been eleven students who have reached the level of national second-level athletes, of which six are girls, ranging from middle-distance running to shot put.

Among the sophomores who were lower than Ye Qin in the previous year, because of the enrollment of students with sports specialties in the whole school, their results were better than Ye Qin's class. Among them, Zhang Jiehua entered the Haixi provincial team, and Nian Feng reached the level of a first-class athlete last year after switching from sprint to long jump. In addition, there are also two girls who are close to the first level in the shot put and the 3,000-meter run, and they are still in the second year of high school, and the overall level of the second level has exceeded 23 people.

In this class of high school freshmen, there are also many excellent ones, although there are no more outstanding ones like Ye Qin in the individual, but the overall quality is getting better and better.

Yan Ning looked at Ye Qin, who was standing on the rostrum, and remembered the scene she saw for the first time in the school physical education class at that time, hiding class notes in her class. Then, I entered into sports training, and I never arrived late or left early in training every day, and I was never afraid of hard work.

That's it, I kept gritting my teeth and running forward.

"Ye Qin, it is precisely because of your hard work that many people have to work together to change this school, and while changing your own life, you have also changed many other people."

On the rostrum, at this time, Wen Tongshi turned his head to look at Ye Qin after the thunderous applause of the audience gradually decreased, the best student of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School over the years was already standing in front of him at this moment, and he had achieved results before leaving the school, but after the other party left this time, he would no longer be a student of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School in name when he returned to school next time.

Holding the wired microphone connected to the radio room in his hand, Wen Tongshi took a breath lightly, looked at Ye Qin with true feelings and said: "Ye Qin, although you graduated, no matter when, you are an outstanding student of our Xiushui No. 2 Middle School who went out, work hard, and strive to create better results, I am proud of you, we are proud of you, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is proud of you!" ”

"We are proud of you, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is proud of you!"

"We are proud of you, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is proud of you!"

……

On the big playground, thousands of students from Xiushui No. 2 Middle School fell after Wen Tongshi's speech, there were one or two voices in the crowd shouting "We are proud of you and proud of you", and gradually, it seemed that such an atmosphere infected other people, first a few sounds, then more and more, and the voices became louder and louder, and finally the whole school was shouting loudly, wave after wave, the sound was so loud that it almost rushed to the sky. Maybe the new students don't feel particularly deep, almost all of them have heard Ye Qin's story, but the students who almost watched Ye Qin's rapid growth in the second and third years of high school are swaying at this time, and they can't help themselves.

The cinder track, which was full of rain and muddy water, has now been replaced by a clean and beautiful plastic track and field, with an indoor training hall and many honorary certificates.

The school's canteen food conditions, many rigid teaching conditions, and teachers have unconsciously received more and more support as a person competes in national competitions, international competitions, and the Olympic Games.

In Xiushui, no one will ever say that "one is a talent, two is a hooligan", in two or three years, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is the most eye-catching middle school in the entire Xiushui County. In November last year, two provincial key middle schools even organized students to visit Haixi Province.

We are proud of you, this sentence among the thousands of students present, at least more than half of them did not disobey the slightest disobedience, it is like the age of the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, in their youth, they also witnessed the growth of a classmate around them!

Sun Yuguang, Ye Qin's former tablemate in the first year of high school, shouted loudly, and suddenly began to wipe his tears.

He still remembered Ye Qin at the same table with him at that time, his contempt for this "mud leg" from the countryside to study, and then watched him rush forward step by step with all his strength, every day on the playground after school in the third quarter, and the subsequent games that started, and the banners that changed at the school gate.

"Ye Qin, maybe none of us here can be like you after that, but in my youth, in my high school, we are fortunate to see how you have grown, which will become the most precious treasure in my future life, and it will also become the strength to forge me forward."

Yu Hao, the former sports committee member in Ye Qin's class, was just laughing and laughing happily when he applauded and shouted desperately.

"Ye Qin, you are also here to help the teacher!"

"Ye Qin, you can't run barefoot, wear my sneakers!"

"Ye Qin, you won again!"

"Are you just going to pick any universities in China?"

Many of the conversations and questions he had asked suddenly came to mind over and over again.

My classmates, my next table, you don't know, it's because you are desperately rushing in front of us that we have to follow in your footsteps, we have to work harder, harder.

We are proud of you and proud of you!

On the rostrum, Ye Qin's body trembled slightly, holding the award certificate of an outstanding student in his hand, watching the thousands of pairs of eyes below fall on him, listening to their shouting together, "We are proud of you, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is proud of you!" At that time, the tears couldn't stop falling.

Ye Qin's eyes were red, and he slowly took the microphone from Wen Tongshi's hand, and looked at the teachers and students of the school, Wen Tongshi, Nie Fangping, Yan Ning, and Zhang Xiaolong...... The classmates he knew and didn't know were the younger students who were one or two years below him.

When the day he entered Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, he never thought that there would be this day.

He came into contact with the game from here, he started training from here, when he didn't go to the professional team, there was no good coach, enough nutrition to support him to go further, it was Xiushui No. 2 Middle School that gave him the greatest support!

No matter what happened to him later, he knew very well in his heart that he relied on this middle school that was not famous, had limited conditions, and was even only a provincial third-level middle school before, and devoted all his resources to cultivate it.

There are too many people here who have helped him, there are too many people who have paid attention to him, he started training here, received the first applause, and then maybe the time in school became less and less, but Ye Qin never forgot his identity as a student of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School.

Ye Qin faced everyone, raised the award certificate in his hand with a little choked up, paused slightly, seemed to be taking a deep breath, and then slowly said: "Thank you, I can walk into Xiushui No. 2 Middle School and become a member of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, this is the luckiest thing in my life, I am proud of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School!" ”

There was no magnesium light flickering, but at this moment, Ye Qin felt that he had stood on the highest podium.

On the playground, applause was ringing.

In the distance, a red banner at the school gate was fluttering.

The sky in the small county town is vast and high, blue as a wash, and the sun is shining brightly, sprinkled on the tall green trees, sprinkled on the office buildings of the campus, and sprinkled on the orange-red runway.

Sprinkled in the hearts of all.
