The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine: Chapter 115 Kaikyo
After Xie Shi'an paid respects to Yan Xinyuan, he went to pay respects to his grandfather. It was already night when the two returned home.
Grandma was busy around the stove, and Xie Shi'an was not idle either, adding firewood to it.
Jian Changnian helped grandma make dough and prepare croquettes.
Forgot to mention, the puppy they picked up that year, named Wangfu, gave birth to another litter of puppies, and the training base couldn't keep so many puppies, so Jian Changnian brought one back to her grandmother as a companion. He can also take care of the nursing home, named "Shuncai".
Shuncai was wagging his tail at the moment, circling around them, biting Xie Shian's trouser leg.
Xie Shianteng reached out and touched its head.
"I said, why did you give the puppy such a silly name?"
Jian Chang read with a smile, and threw a piece of meat to Shun Cai.
"Six-six Dashun, wealth and wealth, what a good meaning, right, Shuncai."
Shuncai got the food, agreed with her, and barked several times in excitement, making everyone in the room laugh.
Jian Changnian was busy with her work when the cell phone in her pocket rang again. Her hands were covered with flour and it was inconvenient to pick it up, so she kept yelling.
"Shi'an, Shi'an, call and see who is calling."
Xie Shi'an put down the firewood in her hand, stood up, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, saw that it was Zhou Mu's video, and pressed the connection directly.
"Hey, put another piece for the New Year."
There was also a family reunion on Zhou Mu's side, with laughter and laughter, and the background was mixed with the sound of the Spring Festival Gala. It was not a big surprise that Xie Shi'an appeared here.
Jian Changnian's voice came in from outside the screen.
"That's right, it's not that someone didn't come back this year, it's just the two of us and grandma celebrating the New Year together."
Xie Shi'an raised the phone a little higher, and stood beside Jian Changnian, so that the camera could fit three people.
"Oh, it's not that I went to college, and I haven't been home for a year. I have to accompany Mom and Dad. Next year, next year, I will definitely spend time with you!"
Zhou Mu burst into a smile, and greeted grandma again.
"Grandma, grandma, happy new year, wow, what about croquettes, I haven't eaten your fried meatballs for several years!"
Grandma also smiled cheerfully.
"Happy New Year, Mumu, I want to eat, hurry up tomorrow and ask Chang Nian to go to the town and send it to you."
Jian Changnian murmured softly, "It's all broken..."
"Oh, isn't there the fastest express delivery? Winter is not summer. Grandma wrapped it well. It must be edible after sending it."
It was too late and then soon, the oil in the pot was hot, and the **** were put down, bubbling one by one, golden and hot.
Grandma hurriedly scooped it up with a colander.
"Hurry up, Chang Nian, bring a plate, move the table out, and get ready for dinner."
Zhou Mu's parents were also calling.
"Then I won't tell you, Shi'an, Chang Nian, grandma, happy new year!"
"Happy New Year."
Jian Changnian waved her flour-stained hand, and Xie Shi'an was standing beside her with a slight smile on his lips.
"Happy New Year."
"Dinner is ready!"
Grandma built a new grape trellis in the yard this year. The tables and chairs are placed under it, and the stove has also been moved out. It is not cold to eat hot pot around. The firewood is burning on the brazier next to it, and the rice wine is heated. Sprinkled with rock sugar and wolfberry, it is fragrant when poured out.
Xie Shi'an took another empty cup and placed it beside it.
The three of them talked and laughed while eating.
The croquettes made by grandma are delicious when they are vegetarian. Put them in a hot pot, the meat is soaked in the taste of red soup, and the juice will flow when you take a bite. And fight.
That night, the corners of grandma's mouth never closed.
After all, it was an elderly person who went to bed after eating and clearing away, leaving only Jian Changnian and Xie Shi'an to continue the night watch.
As the night deepened, the wind picked up again.
Jian Changnian: "Do you want to go in and watch TV?"
Xie Shi'an shook his head.
"No, there's nothing to see anyway."
"Okay, then I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman."
As Jian Chang read, he threw a few logs into the brazier.
Xie Shi'an also put the rice wine pot on it.
"Are you still drinking?"
"It doesn't have a prescription. I've only had a few drinks. You're not drunk, are you?"
In order to prove herself, Jian Changnian rolled up her sleeves.
"Who says I'm drunk, come, come, drink."
"Just drinking is so boring, let's make a drinking order."
The corner of Jian Changnian's mouth twitched.
Having a drinking order with a top student from Tsinghua University, can she win?
"Let's play a little down-to-earth, okay?"
Xie Shi'an's eyes were shining.
"Then tell me, what are you playing?"
"Rock paper scissors, truth or dare."
"Who loses who drinks?"
Xie Shi'an raised his glass to touch her first.
"Row."
"rock-paper-scissors!"
"you lose!"
"No, no, do it all over again, you're cheating!"
…
When two people are together, it seems that there is always something to talk about, chatting about badminton, life, study, people and things around them.
One is smart and wise, with the utmost love and sincerity, and the other has no heart, the purest and the kindest, with completely different personalities, but he can always catch the stalks thrown by the other party, and then laugh out loud.
After zero o'clock, the sound of firecrackers sounded one after another in the village. Jian Changnian wanted to look up at the fireworks, but unexpectedly found a meteor trailing its tail across the night sky.
"Shi'an, look, it's a shooting star!"
Although there are no fireworks tonight, there will be a meteor shower.
The dust in the universe, which is as small as a grain of sand, has traveled hundreds of millions of light years and burned itself just for this grand and gorgeous performance. This is the only moment when people can remember the dust.
I don't know why, Xie Shi'an thought of the badminton flying past on the court for a moment, and the thousands of efforts they made off the court were just for the moment of winning the championship.
She looked up and sighed, "It's so beautiful."
Jian Changnian clasped her hands and closed her eyes.
Xie Shi'an looked at her.
"What wish did you make?"
"Slightly, it won't work if you say it."
Jian Changnian made a face at her.
"Tch, childish."
"Shi'an, Shi'an, this is a rare meteor shower, don't you want to make a wish?"
Jian Changnian looked at her devoutly.
The corner of Xie Shi'an's lips curled up, revealing a wry smile.
In the first half of her short life, she asked for her family to be with her forever, separated Yin and Yang, asked for friends not to abandon her, never gave up on her kindness, and asked to repay her teacher's kindness.
Also, dare not ask.
It's never asked for, it's always there.
She looked at Jian Changnian.
The girl was also looking at her, and there seemed to be a thousand words in her eyes.
Xie Shi'an's heart moved slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips was finally relieved.
"No, it's fine now..."
The wine was getting cold, and the people around him were silent.
Seeing that she was asleep, Xie Shi'an wanted to help her up.
"It's cold outside, go back to sleep."
In the past, Jian Changnian was very weak, as thin as bean sprouts, she could lift it up with one hand, but now she had to use some strength to help him up after stumbling.
Xie Shi'an took a step back and stabilized his figure.
The already drunk and unconscious person suddenly opened his eyes wide, frowned at her, and smiled brightly.
"Shi'an...and...one more word...I...I haven't told you yet..."
"What words?"
"Happy New Year."
After the girl finished speaking, as if she had finally settled her mind, she fell on her shoulder again, breathing evenly.
This is really unconscious.
Xie Shi'an was stunned for a moment, then pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were slightly red.
"You too...Happy New Year."
During the few days of the holiday, Xie Shi'an also went to her mother's house to pay her New Year's greetings, and specially brought Jian Changnian together.
Jian Changnian followed her to the elevator with her big and small bags.
"No, what's the matter with me when you go home."
"Nonsense, I'm not good at dealing with children."
Her half-sister, every time she sees her, really gives Xie Shi'an a headache. In addition, although she and her mother intend to repair their relationship, they have been together less and more often, which is really not considered. In order to avoid embarrassment, please don't pull on a member of the atmosphere group.
Jian Changnian let out a prolonged "Oh".
"It turns out that besides being on the field, you also need me one day."
The elevator has arrived.
Xie Shi'an lifted his foot and kicked the man out.
"There's so much nonsense, go knock on the door."
Xie Shi'an bought some nutrition and tea for his mother, and brought a toy Barbie doll to Yoyo.
Seeing them coming, Xie's mother was also happy from ear to ear.
"When did you come back, why didn't you tell mom, so mom can pick you up."
"With Chang Nian, I just came back from New Year's Eve."
Jian Changnian also poked her head out from behind her.
"Auntie, happy new year."
"Happy New Year, happy new year, come in and sit down, come as soon as you come, why do you bring so many things?"
"Shi'an specially bought these for you."
"Your uncle is on duty today, there are only me and Yoyo at home, and I said that I can just eat noodles for dinner, yo, there is no food in the refrigerator, you sit down, I will go to the supermarket to buy some food, Be back in a moment."
Xie's mother was busy pouring water and fruit for them, opened the refrigerator and saw that there was no food again, hurriedly changed their shoes, picked up the key and was about to go out.
Jian Changnian quickly stood up.
"Auntie, don't be too busy, just do what you have at home."
"How about it, you and Shi'an come back once in a while."
Seeing that they couldn't resist her, the two looked at each other.
Xie Shi'an also stood up.
"Let's go together then."
Mother Xie was taken aback, then smiled.
"Eh, good."
The supermarket is at the bottom shop not far from the entrance of the community. It has been more than 20 years, and this is the first time Xie Shi'an went to the supermarket with her. The smile on the corner of Xie's mother's mouth never stopped along the way.
"Mother Yoyo, come out to buy vegetables, this is..."
"This is my eldest daughter. She came back after the Chinese New Year. She usually trains in Beijing."
"Hey, they are so tall, I almost didn't recognize them, isn't this the badminton world champion on TV!"
"This kid is really promising! Is there a partner, why don't auntie introduce one to you?"
"Hey, let's talk in no hurry..."
Xie Shi'an put on more smiles on her face today than she did in the past year. Jian Changnian couldn't help but poke her from the back and whispered.
"It seems that the elders in this world are all the same, they all want to be matchmakers."
Xie Shi'an remained calm, with a gentle smile, and stretched his right hand behind her back and twisted it.
Jian Changnian's face suddenly wrinkled into bitter melon.
"Then I won't tell you, I'm still rushing home to cook for the children, Yoyo, goodbye to Auntie."
Xie Mama finally finished the greetings.
Youyou called someone sweetly: "Goodbye, Auntie."
Xie Shi'an also smiled and nodded.
When the group returned home, Mama Xie was cooking in the kitchen, and the two of them were playing with Yoyo outside. From time to time, laughter came in from the living room. Seeing that Xie Shi'an and Yoyo were getting along well, Mama Xie would smile and let go. Come on.
Not long after, the food came to the table, including fish, meat, and shrimp, all of which were delicious in color, fragrance, and Xie Shi'an's favorite food.
Jian Changnian praised it sincerely.
"Wow, today I can be considered to be in the light of Shi'an, Auntie is cooking a full banquet!"
Xie mother smiled from ear to ear.
"It's rare for you to come here. Of course, you have to do more. In the future, you can come back often. Tell Auntie what you want to eat, and Auntie will make it for you."
It was fun at the dinner table.
Although Xie Shi'an didn't talk much, he basically answered every question he had.
Xie's mother looked at her daughter's slim and successful career, and she felt a little more relieved in her eyes, and she couldn't help but think of the question from the neighbor aunt just now. Although she declined to help Shi'an at the time, she was still a little curious.
"Shi'an, you're in Beijing, are you... in love?"
Jian Changnian couldn't hold back and choked on a grain of rice.
Xie Shi'an also stopped his chopsticks.
Xie's mother hurriedly picked up another shrimp to smooth things over.
"Eating vegetables, eating vegetables, don't get me wrong, my mother doesn't object to your falling in love, but thinks it's a good thing to have a few more relationships while you're young, so that you won't regret it when you get married in the future."
Neighbors' persuasion and mother's persuasion are not the same thing.
Jian Changnian felt a little uncomfortable, and looked at Xie Shi'an, but she had the same calm expression on her face.
"understood."
Seeing her like this, Xie's mother knew that this was not a match, so she gave Jian Changnian another piece of meat.
"Chang Nian, eat quickly, you and Shi'an have a good relationship, if there is a suitable boy around you, you can also help her as a counselor."
Jian Chang thought it was a bit of a joke, but when the elder said so, she could only pull herself together and agree with it with a smile.
"Actually, I don't blame Shi'an, she is very popular in the team, but she is too busy with training..."
Xie Shi'an pulled the corner of his lower lip slightly, but said nothing.
For the second half of the meal, Jian Changnian was a little absent-minded, and Xie Shi'an left without staying after eating.
Until going to bed at night, the two of them were lying on the same bed. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep thinking about what Xie mother had said during the day.
Covered with the same quilt, she kept moving around, and Xie Shi'an couldn't sleep well.
"Do you have lice on your back?"
Hearing her speak, Jian Changnian simply turned around.
"Shi'an, I have a question for you."
"If you're asking me why I don't find a boyfriend, that kind of nonsense, it goes without saying."
"..."
She knew that she had a high vision and a high spirit, and that ordinary people would look down on her, but among those who pursued her, there were also girls with good conditions.
There was a hint of caution in Jian Changnian's eyes.
"Shi'an, the reason why you haven't dated is because... Miss Yuchu?"
Xie Shi'an was silent for a while before speaking.
"I'll forget her if you don't mention it."
Liar, if that's the case, then she won't be silent at the mention of the name.
"Didn't everyone say that time and new love are the best antidote? I think Auntie is right, maybe you can..."
She said this with a little tentative thought.
Think she can't hear it?
Xie Shi'an glanced over, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his lips.
"Why, do you want to introduce me? Or..."
The distance between the two was extremely close. When she said this, her tone was light and light, and her breath was on her face.
It seems that the next second, it will be posted.
Jian Changnian rolled up the quilt and turned over. In the darkness, her ears were burning red.
"Isn't your friend my friend? The national team is all straight girls. Where can I introduce you? Besides, if you want to talk about it, don't talk about it in the team. It's a bad influence."
Looking at her back, Xie Shi'an also turned over and lay flat.
Yes, homosexuality plus team romance, getting involved with any of them, is a devastating blow to a professional athlete, isn't Yin Jiayi a living example.
After a while, she spoke quietly.
"I'm lying to you. I won't consider falling in love until I win a Grand Slam, neither men nor women."
Time flies, and the long vacation is over in the blink of an eye. Before they left, they visited Cheng Zhen in the prison, and went back to the training base of the Binhai Provincial Team to visit Coach Liang.
I haven't seen them for a few years, and he is already the head coach of the provincial team. The originally hale and hearty middle-aged man has added gorgeous hair to his temples. When he saw them, he kept patting them on the shoulder and was full of praise.
"Okay, okay, Lao Yan... I didn't teach you for nothing."
The three of them took a walk along the playground, and the original plastic track was expanded a bit, spreading all the way to the base of the wall.
The small playground of the secret base that Jian Changnian used to frequent has also been renovated and turned into a real fitness center.
There are still players training on the playground, running past them from time to time, and turning their heads to cast curious and envious eyes.
Coach Liang blew his whistle with a straight face.
"What are you looking at, this is your big sister, train well and you will be like them in the future!"
At the end, he smiled again.
"Aren't you going to play for a few more days when you come back this time?"
Xie Shi'an said: "The vacation is only a few days in total, and I have to go back to prepare for the World Championships and next year's Olympic Games."
They came here in a hurry, even though Coach Liang was reluctant, he knew the importance of the game and sent them all the way to the gate.
"In addition to training, you should also pay attention to rest, don't exhaust yourself, the loss outweighs the gain."
Jian Changnian smiled.
"Coach Liang, don't worry, we, work and rest, but you, don't worry too much, it's easy to grow gray hair."
"Hey, don't worry about it. You only know how cumbersome the job is when you become the head coach. By the way, if you come back this year, you can stay for a few more days to teach you guys."
"Okay, no problem." Jian Changnian readily agreed.
Xie Shi'an: "Then take care of your health, we will leave first."
"OK, bye."
Coach Liang looked at their backs, his eyes were slightly red. What he didn't expect was that other team members who were training also ran out and shouted together: "Senior sister, you have to work hard!"
"Senior sister, you are our role model!"
"Senior Sister, I will challenge you next time!"
Jian Changnian turned her head and waved her hand brightly.
"Come on, see you in the national competition!"
When they left Jiangcheng, they also took their grandmother to Beijing for a comprehensive physical examination. It was only by talking about it that they persuaded people. Granted a few days off.
Xie Shi'an was not so lucky, she had to go back to school, no one would ask for leave right after school started.
Just after class that day, she hurried to the hospital with her bag on her back.
The doctor dragged Jian Changnian to the edge of the corridor.
"The elderly have many underlying diseases, such as cataracts, high blood pressure and high blood lipids. Has she ever been in a car accident or had hemangioma surgery before? If you have the conditions, you still have to take the old man with you to take care of her. "
What he said was already euphemistic. He is getting old, and he can't tell when an accident will happen.
Jian Chang's eyes turned red as soon as he read it.
Xie Shi'an put his hand on her shoulder from behind.
"Grandma will be fine, huh?"
Jian Changnian turned her head, looked into her eyes, nodded heavily, then suppressed the glint in her eyes, and then walked into the ward with her.
Grandma stayed in Beijing for more than ten days. After Jian Changnian returned to the team for training, she hired a nurse for her, but she still came every day.
Xie Shi'an will also be with her.
When the two of them are free, they take their grandma to visit mountains and rivers, visit places of interest, and check in and take pictures at the entrances of major attractions.
The grandma in the photo is always smiling from ear to ear.
It was the day she was discharged from the hospital.
Jian Changnian booked a restaurant outside.
At the dinner table, she tentatively opened her mouth.
"Grandma, that's it. I'm thinking, how about...don't go back. I'm renting a house in Beijing. If you stay close to me, I can take care of you conveniently."
Grandma smiled cheerfully and gently rejected her.
"Chang Nian, grandma knows your kindness, but you are busy with training and preparing for exams, and so is Shi'an, who runs over here at every turn. Can you all train and study with peace of mind when I am here?"
"Besides, I'm not used to living in the city. I can't even press the elevator, and I can't go anywhere I want. There's no freedom in the countryside. The chickens and ducks I feed at home, as well as Shuncai, need someone to take care of them."
"Grandma..." Jian Changnian's eyes were slightly red.
Grandma rubbed her head.
"Big child, don't cry, you, just train with peace of mind, and together with Shi'an, bring back a few more gold medals for our country."
