The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

Jian Changnian's expression instantly became tense.

Qiao Yuchu calmed down and breathed well, with a big smile on his face.

"Grandma's operation was successful!!"

Jian Changnian froze on the spot, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it. After a while, great joy rushed all over her body. She jumped three feet high, and then hugged Qiao Yuchu, crying and laughing.

"Great...Great...Sister Yuchu..."

Seeing the scene of them embracing and weeping with joy, Xie Shi'an also showed a slight smile on the corner of his lips.

＊＊＊

When they rushed to the hospital, the police also sent news that the perpetrator had been found, but the family situation of the perpetrator was hard to describe. A family of four squeezed into a house of less than ten square meters in the village in the city. The father was paralyzed in bed, and the wife was a The disabled has dwarfism, and the child is just one month old. He is the only labor force in the family. In order to earn a few hundred yuan, he stayed up on the construction site for a week and nights, and the accident occurred due to fatigue driving.

The police took the man to the hospital. The man knelt on the ground in handcuffs and wept bitterly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I really didn't drink, I was too tired, so I just closed my eyes... I have a wife and children at home I want to raise, I was afraid of going to jail so I ran away, I can't go in, what should I do with my child if I go in!"

The man's wife also came, carrying the child on her back, and kowtowed to her, begging for mercy, weeping.

Both husband and wife were dressed in tatters and looked poor, but the face of the baby in the swaddle on the woman's back was clean, with eyes open, looking at the world curiously.

Jian Changnian stood here, trembling all over, and tears fell down uncontrollably. With tears in his eyes, he roared, "You ran away because you were afraid of going to jail. What about my grandma! Have you ever thought that if no one finds her, She just disappeared on the cold road, you have a wife and children, but I am an orphan!"

Perhaps the quarrel was too loud, and the baby in the swaddle was frightened and cried.

Looking at the situation, the police probably couldn't negotiate, so they had to take the person away first.

Qiao Yuchu patted her on the shoulder and handed her a tissue.

The nurse came to call: "The patient is awake and can go in for a visit."

Jian Changnian wiped away her tears, sniffed, and followed the nurse to change the gown.

Because she has just finished the operation, grandma can only live in the ICU for the time being, with tubes inserted all over her body, and only her eyes can move, but at least she is conscious, and when she feels her hand holding her, she returns gently Shake it.

Jian Changnian cried with joy: "Grandma, grandma, that's great, can you hear me?"

Grandma looked at her, and there were tears in her cloudy eyes. She seemed to want to say something, but because of the tube in her mouth, she couldn't say anything, and her expression was a little anxious.

Jian Changnian understood, put her face into her palm, and rubbed her face: "Grandma, you believe me, I didn't drop out of school to do some bad things. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would worry. In school I I have been unhappy all the time, I am not studying the major I like, and I have no familiar friends.”

"You know, I have liked playing badminton since I was a child. Whenever I have free time, I would go to the village. I yearn for the field, and I also want to win the world championship like the athletes on TV. So I want to try it when I have this opportunity. I haven’t been home for three months because I’ve been training, just now I have passed the physical fitness test for the badminton national competition, and I’m going to participate in the competition as a member of the Coastal Province team this weekend.”

Jian Changnian sniffed: "I'm sorry I didn't tell you in time, but I really just want to tell you after everything is settled. I know you want me to have a skill and find a stable job in the future. I don’t want to be rich and expensive, but I want to live my life in peace without worrying about food and clothing.”

"But that's not what I want, Grandma, I just want to play ball."

In the end, the tears fell again.

Grandma moved her fingers, and Zhuangruo wiped away her tears unintentionally.

The old man moved his eyes to the outside of the ward.

Through the glass window, several people looked inside.

Jian Changnian sniffed, turned her head, looked at her friends and laughed.

"Grandma, the operation fee this time is also thanks to them. The one in the middle is our coach, surnamed Yan. He is strict during training, but he treats us well at ordinary times. It is thanks to him that I can enter the Coastal Provincial Team .”

"The one on the left of Coach Yan is Qiao Yuchu, the big sister in the team. We call her Miss Yuchu. She has always taken care of me and treated me like a younger sister."

"The one on the right of Coach Yan is Xie Shi'an, the big devil in the team. He has good skills, but he has a bad temper..."

Jian Changnian hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to introduce her. After a while, she met the man's eyes. Through the glass, Xie Shi'an couldn't hear what she said anyway.

She summoned up her courage and said, "It's my best friend."

Grandma glanced at them one by one, with a little gratitude in her eyes, Qiao Yuchu waved her hand in response, and Yan Xinyuan nodded.

The nurse came in and urged: "The visiting time is up."

Jian Changnian gently hugged her grandmother across the quilt, and got up.

"Grandma, take a good rest. You must listen to the doctor and get well soon. I'm still waiting for you to watch my game."

＊＊＊

In the following days, because the hospital hired a nurse to take care of her grandmother, Jian Changnian was able to spare time to follow the training during the day. She got up early and stayed late every day to catch the first bus to the training base, and after the training, she took the last one. The bus went back to the hospital to spend the night with grandma.

Although there was still a lot of money raised by everyone last time, Jian Changnian was reluctant to open a room in a hotel near the hospital, so he just made do with the bench in the corridor for one night. If the doctor’s duty room is empty occasionally, kindly The director will also tell her to go in and lie down on the bed to rest.

In the past few days, she has been wanting to return the lotus lantern to Xie Shi'an, but there is no suitable opportunity.

Firstly, the training was intense, and they could only meet during training, and secondly, she had to catch the last bus back to the city after training, and missed the last bus several times, but it was Coach Yan who sent her back.

Jian Changnian didn't want to bother him all the time.

The days passed day by day in sweat and tears.

The first game of the national competition is less than a day away.

After the morning training, Yan Xinyuan brought their team uniforms for this year.

"Come on, come on, one set per person, take it according to your own size."

Jian Changnian took a size S according to her usual habits. She unpacked the top and tried it on, but found that the sleeves were a bit short. She compared the pants in disbelief, and they didn't reach her ankles.

Holding the clothes, she was a little desperate: "Coach Yan, what should I do if my baby is too young?"

Yan Xinyuan came over to take a look: "Hey, it's really a bit small. It's still made according to your height measured during the training camp. I'll check if there is one size bigger."

Yan Xinyuan poked around in the box for a long time, and finally found a large size set and handed it to her.

"No matter how small it is, there is no suitable one."

Jian Changnian took it out and tried it on, and it was just right for her to wear it one size larger. Qiao Yuchu turned the person around and was amazed.

"After all, I'm still growing my body. How long has it been? I've grown taller again."

She compared her shoulders: "You can get it from me. It's just a matter of growing tall and nothing else."

As Qiao Yuchu said, her gaze drifted towards her still flat chest.

Jian Changnian became furious and chased people all over the field.

"These kids." Yan Xinyuan shook his head helplessly and clapped his hands.

"Okay, that's all for this morning's training. It's a half-day holiday in the afternoon. You can arrange your time freely. Just one thing, no drinking or having dinner or carbonated drinks when going out. In addition, pay attention to safety. Let's gather here at ten o'clock tomorrow morning and set off for the The competition venue, do you understand?!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "I understand!"

"Okay, let's dismiss!"

Just as Yan Xinyuan was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by someone.

Jian Changnian excitedly ran up to him.

"Coach Yan, do you have any tickets for the game?"

Although Jian Changnian has never participated in a competition of this size, she also knows that the organizers should distribute some internal tickets to the participating teams before the competition, and she wants to give one away.

Yan Xinyuan also guessed what she was thinking and smiled.

"Want to give someone away?"

Jian Changnian nodded embarrassedly.

"Well, just one, one is fine, Coach Yan, please."

Yan Xinyuan readily agreed.

"Okay, let's go to my office to get it later."

When Jian Changnian came out of his office, he wanted to go straight back to the hospital, but happened to run into Qiao Yuchu who had finished picking up the courier from the guard room.

"Hey, are you leaving now?"

Jian Changnian nodded: "Well, go back and take care of grandma."

Qiao Yuchu said while dragging people to the dormitory: "Grandma's condition has stabilized and she has been admitted to a general ward? And there are nurses to take care of her. It's still early. Go back to the dormitory to sleep and have a good rest." , look at your dark circles."

"And your hairstyle, your clothes, you have a competition tomorrow, so you don't have to tidy them up, you haven't showered for a few days."

Jane Changnian pulled up her collar and smelled it.

Hiss, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Qiao Yuchu was beaming while walking and talking.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, there will be a TV station coming tomorrow. If the sloppy one is photographed by a reporter, maybe some enthusiastic netizens will make it into a moving picture and play it repeatedly on various social platforms."

Jian Changnian: "..."

"I'm going to clean up now."

Qiao Yuchu covered her mouth and smiled, watching her enter the bedroom.

"I have shower gel and shampoo, and I'll bring them to you later."

＊＊＊

Finally, after washing away the exhaustion and dust of these days, Jian Changnian also felt comfortable after taking a bath, and even the muscle soreness caused by training was relieved a lot.

She walked towards the bed while wiping her hair, and saw the team uniform on the bed again.

Jian Changnian had an idea, it just so happened that there is a mirror in the dormitory, why don't you try it on?

In the morning, Qiao Yuchu said that she had grown taller, but she didn't really feel it yet, so she stood in front of the mirror, and finally noticed some changes in her body belatedly.

For the past three months, she ate at the provincial team cafeteria. Because of the rich side dishes and balanced nutrition, she has grown taller, her frame has grown, her shoulders seem to have widened a little, and she has lost weight. The cheekbones are slowly filled back, and the face has a girlish look.

Coupled with continuous physical training, stretching the muscles and bones has also changed the whole person's posture, making him look more upright and energetic.

She lifted up her clothes and saw that there was a waistcoat line on her lower abdomen. The skin was very delicate to the touch, but it felt extraordinarily firm to the touch.

Jian Changnian turned around in front of the mirror again, looked at the words "Binhai Provincial Team" printed on the back of the team uniform and smirked.

It happened that someone knocked on the door, Jian Changnian ran over to open the door, it was Qiao Yuchu.

"Oh, it's not bad, but your hair needs to be fixed again, and the bangs are covering your eyes." Qiao Yuchu's eyes lit up when he saw her for the first time, and he handed her the clean apple in his hand.

Jian Changnian looked in the mirror, and indeed, he didn't have much money to go to the street for a haircut. He usually asked his grandmother to cut it for him at home, and he hadn't repaired it for more than three months including the training time.

She pulled up her bangs: "I'll cut it myself with scissors."

"Hey, what's the problem? Give me the scissors, and I will." Qiao Yuchu gnawed the apple in his hand, and threw the core into the trash can.

Jian Changnian was sitting in front of the mirror, with a towel around her neck, and Qiao Yuchu was standing behind her with scissors, making comparisons.

"How long is the cut?"

Jian Chang thought for a while: "Cut it short, long hair is troublesome to wash."

"Is it okay to reach the shoulder?"

"it is good."

Watching the black hair slipping down.

Jian Changnian: "I can't see that Miss Yuchu still has this skill."

Qiao Yuchu held the scissors decently.

"Shi'an also cut it for her when she was a child."

Jian Changnian nodded: "No wonder, Miss Yuchu, did you and Shi'an know each other since childhood?"

Qiao Yuchu straightened her head.

"Hey, don't move. She was only six years old when I met her. The grandfather who took care of her since she was a child passed away, and her parents didn't care much about her. It's very pitiful for a six-year-old child to wander on the street all day long. "

Just substituting it in, Jian Changnian felt a little suffocated, and there was a dull pain somewhere in his chest.

"Then what happened next?"

"Later, it was her grandfather's friend and the former head coach of our Binhai provincial team, Coach Fang, who paid her tuition and let her go back to school. Coach Fang is busy, so it is impossible to take care of her all the time. Besides, People also have their own families to support.”

"Shi'an is a child whose parents don't love her. At that time, she was often bullied by senior students. My family and her family are neighbors. I often ran into her on the way to and from school."

When mentioning the past, Qiao Yuchu also felt a little emotional.

"At that time, Shi'an became more guarded. I walked behind her to protect her, but she even picked up rocks from the ground and threw them at me."

Jian Changnian's mood is a bit complicated, it can make an innocent child so afraid that someone will appear behind her, her first reaction is to protect herself, she must have had a hard time.

"And then, how did you get to know each other later?"

Qiao Yuchu smiled, and gently trimmed the hair behind her ears with scissors.

"Because, a lollipop."

At that time, Xie Shi’an had nowhere to go after school, and no one at home cooked for her. She was very hungry but had no money, so she could only lie on the window of the bakery, looking at the various cakes inside, smelling With the sweet and creamy aroma, he swallowed frantically.

Senior students passed by and offered candy to lure her.

"Kneel down and call brother, and I'll eat it for you."

Even though she was young and ignorant, Xie Shi'an knew that it was not good to kneel down casually, but she wanted to eat sweets very much. Due to the great disparity in physical strength, he was pushed off the sidewalk and fell on the road.

A motorcycle came by.

"Hey, be careful!"

At the critical moment, Xie Shi'an was picked up by the back of the neck, and by chance, his life was recovered from under the wheel.

She stood firm and looked back, and saw a girl in a light yellow goose skirt standing in front of her, looking aggressive.

"There is a limit to bullying people, don't you know that you will have a car accident if you push someone on the road?! Go, if you don't go, tell your teacher!"

Qiao Yuchu, who drove away a bunch of gangsters, turned around and patted her head: "Do you want to eat cake? But my sister didn't bring any money today, how about this, this lollipop is for you, eat it , it won’t hurt after eating.”

Later, whenever Xie Shi'an recalled that scene, he felt that what Qiao Yuchu gave was not only a piece of candy, but also a whole bright spring.

While listening, Jian Changnian muttered in her heart:

It turns out that she likes candy.
