During the time when Xiao Chenan fell asleep and Xie Chutao got out of school, we might as well talk about a person who has not been officially introduced so far - Xie Wantang.

Xie Wantang, 32 years old, female, unmarried, Xie Chutao's sister......

Haha, just kidding, in fact, I tried this chapter many times, but I couldn't express the original feeling, and finally I decided to tell the thirty years of Sister Xie Wantang Xiaotang from a third-person perspective.

It was a rainy night, the torrential rain mixed with thunder, drenched the streets, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and there was some traffic, but they were all in a hurry to go home, and most of them drove faster.

Xiaotang's parents are also one of them, they have just finished their night shift at the gymnasium and are driving home to celebrate their baby Tangtang's seventh birthday.

Her parents were both born in badminton, and they had won a lot of honors for the Hubei team, but after getting married, they officially retired and decided to continue to contribute to the cultivation of badminton talents, so they stayed in the Hubei team to coach.

As the team has been preparing for the upcoming Thailand Open in recent weeks, they will be able to reach the top 16 and qualify for the Olympics if they can score one more point, so they often train late into the night for tactical coordination.

Along the way, the Xie family's parents are still chatting about the personnel of the men's singles, the two men's singles in the team have their own merits, although there is indeed an advantage in the recent record, but after all, the playing style is different, and it is not yet decided who can become the final dark horse.

They talked from men's singles to mixed doubles, from badminton to Tang Tang, when they remembered that today was their baby's birthday, the two of them were both excited and regretful, unfortunately they were too busy with work recently, and they rarely had time to spend with their children, so they thought that they could give her a big surprise today to make up for the absence of these few weeks.

Laughter filled the carriage.

However, they were not in the slightest aware of the danger that was coming.

When passing a traffic light, Xie's father subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and after a while, he found that the vehicle did not slow down, but rushed out at a faster speed.

Seeing that the speed of the car had reached 100km/h, and if it continued like this, the car would be destroyed and people would die, so they had to make a desperate bet - just turn off the engine.

However, the risk of such a stall is enormous, and the steering wheel will lock up and you will no longer be able to control the vehicle.

Unfortunately, there was no time for them to think, so they pressed the shutdown button together, praying for a smooth soft landing.

Two seconds later, two screams, two lives.

I don't know if it was a trick of fate or the arrangement of Hades, the last trick also completely failed, the vehicle rolled over on its side, rolled into the lake on the side, and there was no more movement.

Xie's parents died.

Two hours later, several police cars stopped under their house, and a police officer told a little girl who was full of anticipation a sad fact: because of the slippery road in the rain, your parents' car lost control when turning, and the car and people were gone.

The Barbie doll in Xiaotang's hand was scattered on the ground, and she cried out with a "wow", she didn't understand the meaning of "gone", she only knew that on today's birthday, no one accompanied her, and her parents didn't know when they would come back.

The police finally handed her a bovine, a mascot that her mother often wore during her service.

The honking of the police car is gone, and the room is accompanied only by toys and endless loneliness.

She was immersed in the silent night, and even the torrential rain gradually stopped, as if time had stopped, and the world was only her empty shadow.

Tired of crying, she gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up, she could already see the sun working hard and the view from the huge patio - only then did she realize that she was not at home, because her home was just an apartment bungalow, and there was no such patio.

She clutched the string of vines in her hand and looked around in horror - simple and delicate decoration, luxurious and unassuming, but none of this was important in her eyes, and there was only one question she wanted to figure out: where was she?

At this moment, the door slowly opened, and he was greeted by an old man with gray hair, not only his hair was gray, but even the handful of goatee was white, and he looked a bit like an old master with a ring ruler.

Seeing Xiaotang wake up, the old man smiled happily, and his beard grinned down the corners of his mouth to the root of his ears.

He was not in a hurry to explain anything to Xiaotang, but handed her a piece of doughnut and a glass of hot milk.

Xiaotang, who hadn't eaten for a day, was not polite, grabbed the doughnut and stuffed it into his mouth, for fear that the old man would return and take it back, watching her gobble up, the old man was very distressed.

After sweeping away the breakfast, she wiped the corners of her mouth full of cream, and felt that the place didn't seem to be so unbearable.

The old man put the dinner plate aside, and lowered his head to think for a long time, but in the end, he still didn't make up his mind to tell her the truth, but just made up a lie very easily and wittily: Your parents are going to a far, far away place for badminton training, and they will be busy during this time, so grandpa will take care of our little baby, okay?

When he said this, his voice trembled markedly, and he tried his best to suppress the tremor of his vocal cords, and calmly and kindly explained the white lie that had been hidden from her for twelve years.

Since then, the old man has become her only friend, a playmate who can be heartfelt.

As the days passed, gradually, she forgot about the pair of parents who didn't seem to care about her, and no longer pestered her grandfather every day to ask for news from her parents, and she even felt that the lovely old urchin in front of her was her only relative.

The old man provided her with school, taught her to play badminton, she was also very competitive, diligent and hardworking, practiced hard, and was easily admitted to the local key high school, badminton also showed her skills in the province's youth competition, she became a child of other people's families in the mouth of parents.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Xiaotang faded from the appearance of a child and grew into a slim girl, but the old man couldn't stop aging, his body deteriorated day by day, and he could no longer play with her and mess around with her.

On the sickbed, the old man's eyes were filled with tears, his lips couldn't stop trembling, he used his last strength, tightly clutched the magic vine on Xiaotang's wrist, reluctance, guilt, self-blame, and regret came to his heart in an instant, and finally told her the truth about the car accident twelve years ago with difficulty, word by word. He wanted to rot the story in his stomach, disappear with him, and give Xiaotang a beautiful and simple life, but he couldn't, he had promised Xiaotang's parents, he couldn't break his promise, he couldn't, and he couldn't do it.

Yes, this old man was the head coach of the Xie family's parents, he led the Hubei team to fight everywhere and put the Xie family's parents on the world stage, but he never dreamed that such a tragedy would happen to his own teammates, he couldn't accept it, but the truth will eventually break the illusion. When he received the suicide note from the Xie family's parents, a mirror in his heart was shattered.

The suicide note reads:

Loyalty, don't be sad, we will always experience such a day, and it is an honor in our life to fall in love with badminton as your apprentice. It's just that youth badminton can't die, and Chinese badminton can't die! They did everything they could to prevent us from participating in the Open Championship, but the birds were sleepy and the birds were pecked, they were afraid, but we couldn't be afraid! The Badminton Federation made a move, but the Chinese team will never retreat!

So far, it is our couple's dedication to badminton, but it is also our biggest regret in this life as parents - Xiaotang is still young, badminton, we couldn't hand her over, the smart thing, we didn't have time to tell her, but this is her mission, and her fate has been decided. Here, we two ask you to teach her everything you have passed on to us without reservation, she is a smart child, I believe that she can understand everything we do, and will definitely be able to surpass us in the future and shoulder the pillars of the national feather!

These are the last two words left by the Xie family's parents before the car entered the water 12 years ago, they are heroes, real heroes.

Xiaotang stared at Fa Teng and didn't say a word.

She has passed that innocent age, and she has also passed the age of crying and naughty, and now she has not shed a single tear, does not cry, does not make trouble, and is surprisingly calm, just bows her head and responds silently to the boulder thrown at her for no reason.

"It is said that people can't cry when they are extremely sad" - Dou Wentao of "Round Table Pie".

At the funeral of Elder Zhong, Xiaotang was stunned for a long time holding his small box.

After that day, she followed the instructions of the old man and found the prestigious Xie family in the city and became their adopted daughter.

Because her surname is Xie, she smoothly integrated into the family, and also met Xie Chutao, the daughter and sister of the Xie family who was 15 years younger than her.

She is very sensible, and her learning ability is also very strong, even in the face of hard training, she never shouts tired, and soon mastered the skills of using spiritual powers, and inherited the treasure weapon used by her mother during her lifetime through Fato, coupled with the continuous strengthening of physical fitness, the following year she successfully won the first place in the newcomer evaluation competition, and won the precious legendary prize "White Tiger Stripes" in one fell swoop.

Over the years, she has been looking for capable people to assemble a badminton team composed of smart people, in order to kill all the behind-the-scenes people of the Badminton Federation, and push the national badminton to the top of the world again.

As for her life experience, except for Zhong Lao, herself and her deceased parents, everyone else knows about the adapted version, that is, the Xie family has two golden flowers, and this version seems to be very convincing, so it has not attracted the attention of others.
