The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine: Chapter 63 leave home
Xie Shi'an and Jian Changnian hadn't come back until it was getting dark. Grandma was worried, so she waited on the small road in front of the courtyard.
In the distance, footsteps could be heard on the country road.
Jian Changnian saw the light coming from the courtyard at a glance. Grandma was standing at the door, she was still carrying something in her hand, and she ran over quickly.
"Grandma, we're back."
"It's good to be back, where is Wangfu?"
"Stayed in the pet hospital, the doctor said long-term treatment."
Xie Shi'an also followed her into the courtyard gate, and put the box in his hand on the ground.
"This is?" Grandma said.
Xie Shi'an smiled.
"Electric heaters, it's cold in winter, just plug in the electricity to keep warm."
Grandma feels distressed and is reluctant to spend money on her.
"Such a good thing must be very expensive. It's not easy for you to earn some money. Children, take it and return it. Grandma is not cold."
A sly smile appeared on the corner of Xie Shi'an's lips.
"□□I have already thrown it away, and I can't return it. Grandma, you can keep it."
Jian Changnian ran into the stove and lifted the lid of the pot.
"Grandma, I'm hungry, let's eat."
"Is Shi'an hungry?"
Xie Shi'an nodded, his stomach grunted in due course.
Grandma took her hand tremblingly into the kitchen.
"Go, let's eat."
After dinner, there were not many entertainment activities in the countryside, and there was no TV to watch, so Jian Changnian pulled Zhou Mu over to play poker together.
The electric heater was turned on on the ground, and the three of them sat on the bed, and grandma moved a small chair and sat beside her doing needlework.
Xie Shi'an went from not being able to play at the beginning to winning at the end.
Jian Changnian screamed and fell on the bed.
"It's true that the apprentice of the church starved to death of the master!!"
Seeing them laughing, grandma's face was also full of joy, and she brought in the pine nuts fried yesterday and the fruits bought at the market today.
"Come, come, eat while playing."
The night in the countryside is always so quiet and quiet. The moon rises in the sky, and occasionally a dog barks on the country road.
Zhou Mu's mother came to pick her up and go home.
Jian Changnian sent people out, closed the courtyard door, and then returned to the house. Grandma gently covered Shi'an with a quilt, signaling her to keep silent.
Jian Changnian tiptoed to the bedside to have a look, and whispered.
"Fell asleep?"
Grandma nodded and cleaned the fruit shells on the ground.
"Go and wash your face too, go to bed early."
Jian Changnian nodded, ran out to fetch water to wash up, and when she came back, grandma had almost cleaned up.
She picked up the half-knitted sweater that grandma had left on the chair and had a look.
"This size is not for me."
Grandma took it from her hand, folded it, and put it in the bag.
"Of course it's not for you. I only found out when I was washing your clothes yesterday that Shi'an's sweaters were all torn, and the stitches were sparse. You can't knit this kind of clothes that you wear inside to keep out the cold." it is good."
"Speaking of Shi'an, this child is really pitiful. If I had such a sensible and obedient child, it would be too late for the pain. Why would I not want her?"
Thinking of her life experience, the old man also sighed a little.
Jian Changnian's heart softened, and she threw herself into grandma's arms.
"Am I not obedient enough?"
Grandma smiled and patted her head.
"We read a lot and are obedient. From childhood to adulthood, except for Zhou Mu, I have never seen you bring anyone back. Now that you are a good friend, let's have fun together, help each other, and don't bully others. "
Jian Changnian muttered.
"It's good that she doesn't bully me."
Grandma patted her on the back.
"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss about Shi'an going to sleep, go to sleep."
"Okay, grandma, don't stay up all night knitting, it's bad for your eyes."
"Oh, I see."
Grandma gently closed the wooden door for them and went back to her room.
Jian Changnian pulled out the light cord on the wall, walked to the bed step by step in the dark, carefully climbed onto the bed and stepped over her, every step was thrilling, for fear of waking people up.
It wasn't until the moment she lifted the quilt and lay down that she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the side face of the young man Ruyu, and said softly.
"Good night, Shi'an."
the next day.
They will go back to the training base in the afternoon.
Xie Shi'an got up early, and with the little money left, he went to the hardware store in the town to buy some light bulbs, and some milk powder supplements for the elderly, and brought them all back.
Jian Changnian turned off the switch and stepped on a chair for her.
"Will you change?"
Xie Shi'an held the light bulb in his hand and smiled contemptuously.
"It's a joke, I got perfect marks in physics in high school, but when the light bulb in my house broke, I changed it by myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, she screwed the light bulb back on tightly with her bare hands.
Xie Shi'an clapped his hands and jumped down.
"Turn on the lights."
Jian Changnian pushed the switch up again.
The light from the incandescent lamp was dazzling, and the whole room was no longer as dark and gloomy in broad daylight as before.
With this, grandma's eyes should be much more comfortable doing needlework.
Xie Shi'an was very satisfied and replaced all the other rooms with new light bulbs.
The two of them worked hard all morning, and they also repaired the leaking doors and windows. Grandma looked at her, feeling a little sorry.
"I invited you here to play, why are you still working?"
Xie Shi'an wiped the sweat from his forehead, the smiles on his face these days are more than usual.
"It's okay, I can't eat and drink here for free."
"Why are you eating and drinking for free, you kid, how many things have you bought for the family in the past few days, hurry up, stop doing it, take a break, and have lunch."
After lunch, they should go back to the training base.
Grandma came out with the sweater she had knit all night and stuffed it into her schoolbag.
"It's unfortunate that you came this time. The food and vegetables at home are all sold out, otherwise I can bring you some local specialties back to try something new. Grandma saw that the sweater on your body was torn, so she knit a new one for you. The size should be suitable, you go back and try it, don't be disgusted."
Xie Shi'an hadn't bought new clothes for her for many years, let alone hand-knitted sweaters.
The ceremony is light, but the affection is heavy.
With a sore nose, the young man nodded heavily.
"Don't dislike it, I'll put it on when I go back."
"Hey, good." Grandma stood at the gate of the courtyard and waved goodbye to them.
"Chang Nian, Shi An, go back and take good care of yourself, cheer for the game, remember to come back when you have time."
Jian Changnian turned her head and waved her hand. Seeing that she was still standing at the door and refused to leave, she shouted.
"Understood, grandma, you can go back quickly."
The two of them were going to the town to take a long-distance bus. When they passed the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village in an ox cart, it was evening and the sun was setting. Several children were playing under the tree.
Jian Changnian looked at them, with nostalgia in his eyes, and pointed.
"Did you see that badminton hanging from the tree?"
A solitary, worn-out badminton is hung by a nylon rope, swinging to and fro in the wind, without a foundation.
"When Zhou Mu was away, no one in the village played with me, so I just practiced alone there."
Xie Shi'an looked over intently.
I don't know when or who hung it up. There was another badminton on the tree, and it was blown by the wind. It was entangled with the previous one, shaking slightly in the twilight.
The young man said.
"Now she seems to have a partner."
***
The two returned to the city and called Qiao Yuchu to see Wangfu first. Qiao Yuchu also sighed as he looked at the small dog in the incubator.
"It's so cute, where did you get it?"
"On the field ridge in the countryside, when we found it, there was only one living in the litter, so we brought it back." Xie Shi'an said.
Qiao Yuchu stretched out his fingers and poked the incubator lightly. Wangfu heard the movement and got up. The moon was too young to walk, and fell face down again, making all three of them laugh.
"Wangfu's spirit looks much better."
As soon as Jian Changnian finished speaking, the nurse came over to urge the payment of the hospitalization fee.
The two of them blinked and looked at Qiao Yuchu together.
Qiao Yuchu's mind rang alarm bells, and he clutched his wallet tightly.
"What? What?"
"Sister Yuchu~~~" Jian Changnian rushed over coquettishly.
Seeing her like this, Xie Shi'an's scalp was numb, and goosebumps fell all over the floor. It was not as exaggerated as her, but she just looked at Qiao Yuchu with her talking eyes, and the heart of those who looked directly softened.
"In order to redeem Grandpa's jade, Bean Sprouts and I really don't have any money on us. Can you please pay a little in advance, and I will return it to you after the wages are paid."
Qiao Yuchu: "..."
Who let it be the sister I recognize, what can I do, I can only pamper her.
"All right, all right, I'll pay. I really can't help you."
After paying the money, the doctor gave a few more instructions.
"The little guy's vitality is very tenacious. At present, the lung infection has been initially controlled. If the condition is good, he will be discharged from the hospital next week. I will call you again at that time."
Xie Shi'an nodded.
"That's good, trouble doctor."
After leaving the pet hospital, Qiao Yuchu put his arm around their shoulders, still aggrieved about the matter of redeeming jade.
"Let me tell you, when dealing with this kind of villain, don't reason with him and give him back so much money..."
"After all, the jade is in his hands, and I'm afraid that it will be fine if he doesn't return it. What if it is intentionally damaged." Jian Chang read.
Xie Shi'an: "Fortunately, I got it back."
Qiao Yu thought for a while and changed the subject.
"Hey, are you two hungry, do you want to eat something?"
Jian Changnian's eyes brightened.
"Miss Yuchu, please?"
Qiao Yuchu had no choice but to walk forward with her shoulders on both of them.
"I invite you, I invite you. Who made certain two people poor now?"
After returning to the dormitory.
Xie Shi'an put the lost jade pendant and grandma's bracelet in a box. She stared at it for a long time, then put them into the locker, closed the door gently, and pulled out the key.
***
A week passed by.
The vet called on time.
After Xie Shi'an finished listening, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"Okay, I'll pick it up tonight."
In the evening, after a day of training.
Xie Shi'an didn't go to the cafeteria to eat, but quietly touched the wall, stepped on the bricks, and climbed up.
Jian Changnian looked at her from below.
"Come down quickly, there is no holiday, Coach Yan won't let us go out, can we pick it up another day?"
Xie Shi'an looked back at her.
"If you don't go, I will go by myself."
After saying that, the boy jumped down, and his figure disappeared over the wall.
Jian Changnian gritted her teeth, looked left and right to see that no one was there, so she simply climbed up, forget it, go back quickly, Coach Yan probably won't find out.
Coincidentally, not long after they left, Yan Xinyuan blew the assembly whistle on a whim for night training.
He stood in the training room and counted the number of people. After counting and counting, there were only two people missing. Everyone was silent and did not dare to take a breath.
Yan Xinyuan pointed.
"Yuchu, tell me, where did he go?"
Qiao Yuchu muttered, but didn't say anything for a long time.
Yan Xinyuan waved his teaching stick angrily.
"You are still hiding it for them at this time! Don't you know that the trials are about to start?! When you say big things, you swear, and you can't even make it in the trials, that's embarrassing!"
Qiao Yuchu closed her eyes, confessed everything, and said in her heart.
I'm sorry, Shi'an, Chang Nian.
Yan Xinyuan threw the teaching stick to Coach Liang.
"Others continue to train, Lao Liang, you watch them."
"Hey, why are you going?"
"Why, I'll arrest someone and go to me."
***
The two left the pet hospital, Jian Changnian hugged her schoolbag in her arms.
"Shi'an, where do we put Wangfu? Coach Yan definitely doesn't agree with us raising a puppy."
Xie Shi'an thought for a while, it was too cold to let her house go unattended, so it was not suitable, but it would definitely not work to let Qiao Yuchu's house go, she would be beaten to death.
"Why don't you hide in the dormitory for a few days first, and then take it back to grandma's house when you are on vacation."
Jian Changnian's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed.
"Okay, grandma must also like puppies."
The two got on the last bus back to the training base, and sneakily touched the wall all the way.
Jian Changnian climbed up first, and glanced down.
no one.
She beckoned to Xie Shi'an.
Xie Shi'an handed her the schoolbag up, then took a few steps back by himself, kicked his legs, and climbed up the wall.
"I'll jump down first, and then you hand me Wangfu."
Jian Changnian nodded, watched her land safely, and then gently put down her schoolbag.
Xie Shi'an held Wangfu in his arms and said softly.
"Come down quickly."
"it is good."
She put her hands on the top of the wall and was about to jump off.
A beam of flashlight flashed over.
Xie Shi'an blocked the glare of the light with his hand.
Yan Xinyuan said sharply.
"It's midnight, what are you doing!"
"oops!"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Jian Changnian's scalp exploded, the strength in his hand loosened, and he fell down rolling and crawling.
She stood up grinning, her hair still stained with grass roots.
"Yan... Coach Yan..."
"I said, why are you so absent-minded in training recently? You still want to qualify for the World Championships just like this. Go ahead and get something!"
"Coach Yan..." Xie Shi'an reluctantly took a step back, but someone snatched his schoolbag away.
Wangfu whimpered a little inside.
"I'd like to have a look—" Yan Xinyuan unzipped his schoolbag, the puppy poked its head out, grabbed his hand with its paws, stuck out its tongue, licked him lightly, and wagged its tail excitedly.
Yan Xinyuan: "...?"
Seeing his indisputable expression, Jian Changnian whispered.
"Coach Yan, Coach Yan?"
Yan Xinyuan coughed lightly and closed the zipper again.
"Playthings lose their ambitions!"
After all, he glared at them, turned around and left with his schoolbag in his hand.
The two looked at each other, with a bad feeling in their hearts, they chased after him.
"Coach Yan, Coach Yan, we knew we were wrong, we shouldn't be absent from work, and ran out secretly, but, the puppy is innocent, please, don't throw it away, it will freeze to death in the snow and ice!"
Yan Xinyuan glanced back at them with angry eyes.
"Who said I'm going to throw it away?! This thing is kept in your dormitory. Do you still have the mind to train? Besides, the dormitory is so cold and there is no air conditioner. Put it in my office. If you can't get results in training, no one is allowed to touch it." !"
Jian Changnian was overjoyed and followed him to flatter him.
"Oh, I knew that Coach Yan is the best, and he will definitely not throw away Wangfu."
Yan Xinyuan frowned.
"Wangfu? It's called Wangfu. Whoever named it is really silly."
Xie Shi'an turned his head away and burst out laughing.
Jane Chang drooped her head in remembrance.
"Why do you even complain about me, Coach Yan?"
"Okay, okay, don't be poor, you two, climb over the wall, miss work, and bring pets back to the training base, I will be fine if I don't fire you, now let me run five kilometers on the playground, and you can't sleep if you don't finish!"
Jian Changnian raised her head to the sky and screamed.
"Ah!! Coach Yan, reduce the distance by two kilometers! I'm dead!"
Xie Shi'an put on a dull face and dragged the man away.
"Stop howling, I have a hunch that he will add another two kilometers."
***
Yan Xinyuan returned to the office, found a cardboard box, put an old sofa cushion in it, then picked up Wangfu and put it in gently, poured some warm water from the thermos, took a bowl, and put it beside him.
Wangfu grabbed the bowl and drank happily.
Coach Liang also glanced into the cardboard box.
"Hey, where did you get it?"
Yan Xinyuan shook his head, gathered his coat and returned to the desk, sat down to sort out the registration form for the selection competition.
"It's not the scourge picked up by Chang Nian and Shi'an. It happens every day. It doesn't make me worry."
"I think you like it quite a bit too. You get mats for it and pour water to drink. I think our base also lacks a watchdog. It's good to keep it. When it grows up, it can also guard the house. nursing home."
Coach Liang said, and touched Wangfu's head. The little guy raised his head, rubbed the back of his hand, and wagged his tail happily.
"Hey, it's good, I don't recognize my life yet."
While he was talking in this room, Yan Xinyuan coughed continuously while filling out the form and sorting out the information.
Coach Liang looked up at him.
"This winter is almost over, your pharyngitis is still not healed, I have told you to smoke less."
Yan Xinyuan picked up the thermos cup to moisten his throat, and it took him a long time to suppress the itchiness in his throat.
"Hey, it's an old problem. It's not like you don't know it. Let me tell you. You like this little thing. Look at it. I don't care."
"I told you to go to the hospital to have a look. If you don't go, a small problem will drag you into a big problem sooner or later."
"How can I have that time? Isn't it time to play the World Championships again soon? It's okay, it's getting late, you go back and rest."
Yan Xinyuan sent the person away, and then returned to the desk, working at the desk, coughing from time to time.
The lights in the office stayed on until late at night.
