Chapter 231 After the Spring Festival
"I haven't been home for a few days this year and I have to leave again, so can't I stay for a few more days?"
Ye Qin was carrying a backpack and a suitcase in his hand. He stood under the osmanthus tree at his home and looked at his grandmother who had been wiping her tears. He felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
"Grandma, when the competition is over in August, I will come back and spend a few days with you."
Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month. After the winter training, I went home. The beginning and end were only over a week. The time at home was too short to accompany my grandparents. I thought it would take several months to half a year to leave. I don’t know if I had time during this period. When facing the two elderly people, I always feel a little guilty every time I parted.
"Okay, Ye Qin is an athlete now, this is work." Ye Guandi looked at Liu Lanzhi who was wiping her tears, and looked a little annoyed. "Young people just want to go out and what will happen if they hide in this mountain corner? Look at those working boys, have they started leaving these days. Your grandson is still a big athlete. You have to prepare for training and then compete. What's the point of crying?"
"I feel sorry for my grandson. I have not stayed at home for a few days until the end of the year." Liu Lanzhi's originally depressed mood was a little angry when Ye Guandi's words.
"When your grandson makes a lot of money, then take you an old lady with him and live in the city to see if you are used to it." Ye Guandi hunched over and grinned.
"If you go, go, I'm by my grandson, there's a person who cooks and boils water, you old bones, what's the use?" Liu Lanzhi snorted lightly without showing any weakness.
Ye Qin watched this scene from the side, and couldn't help but pull back slightly. Although the two elders were fighting, the atmosphere of parting was somewhat diluted.
To outsiders, grandfather Ye Guandi has always been the only one who takes care of big and small things. He is the leader of the family, but familiar family members know that as long as grandma speaks, grandpa will basically give in.
Ye Qin remembered that he heard the old man from the next door talk about his grandparents when he was young. At that time, his grandfather, Twenty-Roon, was a tall man and a big man, did a good job in farm work. Many people in the villages said that they were mediated.
One day, my grandfather was going to go on a blind date. It was a family in the next town that was quite wealthy at that time. Everything was ready at that time. As a result, because the road was far away, I was unfamiliar with it. I was thirsty after a while. The traffic was not good and the road was not particularly easy to walk on, so my grandfather went to the family's house to ask for water.
As a coincidence, there was also a daughter in the family who had a blind date on that day. She killed chickens and sheep at home. She accidentally hit her and thought that the new son-in-law came to recognize the family, and the family was grandma's house, and then she met her first time.
Later, some small storms broke out, and finally apologized for others. He persuaded his grandparents to be in a marriage that was a long way to avoid trouble.
Over the past few decades, although the two elders have also quarreled and often complained, they have always been very loving in private. Among the peers, except for his own affairs, they can be considered harmonious in the family.
"Ye Qin, be careful along the way and listen to the leaders more."
Finally, before leaving, Ye Guandi walked to Ye Qin again and whispered a message.
Although he hadn't even made a few appearances in his life, he still knew some worldly style after all his experience. He also knew that good men had to go out and would not have any prospects when trapped in this small place. In just two or three years, Ye Qin's growth had completely exceeded his understanding and expectations since he entered high school, and there was nothing to say about the extra words.
"Don't worry, grandpa." Ye Qin nodded solemnly and said to the grandma beside him, "Grandma, I'm leaving. You and grandpa need to take care of your health."
"Go, remember to greet your teachers first!" Liu Lanzhi wiped her eyes lightly again, "When there is a holiday, remember to come back early."
"knew!"
Ye Qin turned his head and felt a little sad. When he left home to go to school, he was not so moved, but this year's Spring Festival seemed to have become much more complicated in this regard, both his family and himself.
Maybe I said it myself that I may often go abroad to compete this year, and my family is still a little uncomfortable. Just like during the World Youth Championship, thousands of miles away seems to be far away in the concept of the elderly.
"Let's go." The uncle Ye Ming, who was standing beside him, saw that it was almost time and picked up Ye Qin's suitcase, "Don't worry at home, 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. Last year, he gave birth to a daughter for his aunt. Now the child is still young and the wind is strong in winter. He stayed in the room and did not come out.
Seeing his uncle's joyful appearance, Ye Qin was sincerely happy for his uncle. After he came back, he also gave his cousin a big red envelope. Everything was in good condition at home. Ye Qin felt that his current family was the most comfortable life in recent years.
Although it is not wealthy, the family does not have that kind of burden to bear. Even if they grow vegetables in various places, their lives will be easier.
It is probably difficult for people who are not burdened by such a huge burden to understand. What is life like when the big rock in their hearts falls and the smiles on their faces gradually become more and more.
"Uncle, before I earn enough, I will buy a big house in the city and our family will move over."
After leaving the house, Ye Qin remembered what his grandfather had just teased, and suddenly spoke to Ye Mingcheng.
"Ah?" Ye Mingcheng was slightly stunned, then smiled, "Just be fine for yourself, your grandfather just talks casually."
"Really." Ye Qin said seriously. This idea had already emerged in his heart, and it was just getting stronger at this moment.
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 should work hard to compete, you don't have to worry about me, but you really take your grandparents out for a walk and let them walk around. This is great, and it will be less trouble if you are not at home."
"Ye Qin nodded silently.
The two of them walked all the way to the bridge at the entrance of the village, where a van was already waiting there.
The owner of the car is one of the first people who have become rich in the same village. In recent years, he has opened a small supermarket outside and bought a van to deliver goods. He knew that Ye Qin was leaving today, so Ye Mingcheng contacted him in advance.
When they saw Ye Qin and Ye Mingcheng coming, they enthusiastically took the greeting and placed it in the car.
After saying goodbye to his uncle, Ye Qin got into the car directly. The Spring Festival he went home was peaceful and uninterrupted, but this warm atmosphere was what he liked.
After leaving the arena and training ground and taking a rare rest for a while, Ye Qin only felt that his whole body seemed to be full of strength now. His family's life and self-expectations seemed to always make people feel a kind of thrilling power.
He took a van to Xiushui County. Ye Qin first went to the home of the principal Wen Tongshi to pay New Year's greetings. He still had half a year to graduate, but Shuimu University had already decided that he would prepare for the World Championships this year, and he would have less and less time to go back to school.
"Ye Qin, I don't know if you have time to come back in the college entrance examination, but you must come back at the graduation ceremony. This is not something you can do."
While paying New Year's greetings at Master Wen's house, Ye Qin was pulled by Master Wen and his lover for lunch. During this period, Master Wen told him to remember to go back to school to attend the graduation ceremony.
Later, he went to Teacher Yan's house to pay New Year's greetings. He happened to run into Teacher Yan and took the partner home. He gave another advice. He wanted to keep Ye Qin at home for dinner, but he had to go to Coach Nie's house in Nanxiu City in the afternoon, so he let go.
It took two or three hours to drive to Nie Fangping's home in Nanxiu City.
It was almost time for dinner. Because I called in advance, as soon as Ye Qin entered the door, he found that there were many people in Nie Fangping’s family waiting for him to have dinner.
After dinner, Nie Fangping sent all his grandchildren away with a rare opportunity. The two masters and apprentices locked in the study and talked together. Nie Fangping was asking about Ye Qin's recent situation, and Ye Qin told Randy Huntel out of many of his novel training techniques.
He knew that although he left Xiushui No. 2 Middle School and was no longer Nie Fangping led the training, Nie Fangping was still the track and field coach of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, and he always wanted to train more potential athletes.
"Will you go back to the team tomorrow?" The two masters and apprentices chatted about training and competitions 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, Shenghai Station, was on February 19. Now it is very urgent to calculate the time.
"The day after tomorrow." Ye Qin scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "I will go to Linzhou tomorrow, and then go directly to Shenghai Training Base for adaptive training. Assistant coach Coach Chen will wait for me there."
