The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

Back in time to the summer of 2011.

"Chang Nian, Chang Nian, just help me and treat it like I'm begging you, okay? After the big deal is done, the bonus will be divided equally between the two of us?"

Facing the girl's sincere plea, Jian Changnian was unmoved, and wiped the sweat off his face with the clean clothes on the shoulders, and lifted a car tire frame from the ground to the wheel.

"No, don't you see I'm in class?"

The girls circled around her, a little angry.

"What kind of class are you taking here! The teacher is not here, and all the classmates have run away, leaving you here alone to do all the dirty work!"

"Technical school, not all of them are like this."

Jian Changnian was already used to it.

She has been here for half a semester. During this half semester, it is not uncommon for classmates to fight, fall in love, be jealous, and teachers come late and leave early. It is quite different from the strong learning atmosphere of normal high schools There is a big difference, plus she applied for the auto repair major, and she is the only girl in the whole grade. Although things are rare and expensive, she still has a bit of self-knowledge.

In terms of family background, she is not as good as her classmates in the city, in terms of appearance, she is short and can't dress up, her clothes are also very rustic, and her personality is still dull.

Perhaps the only advantage is that she has a relatively strong adaptability. If the teacher does not come, she will take the initiative to ask herself to think about it. If the students come late and leave early, she will stay in the workshop for the longest time. Jian Changnian thought that two years of patience would pass, and after learning some skills, grandma would no longer have to work so hard in the fields during the day, and would have to do needlework at night to pay for the soles of the shoes to subsidize the family.

As soon as Zhou Mu mentioned this, Zhou Mu became even more angry: "I said, why did you enroll in such a school on a sudden whim, obviously your grades are so good, how great it is to go to high school with me, and have a companion!"

Hearing her talk about this, Jian Changnian was also a little annoyed. Although she and Zhou Mu grew up together in the same village, Zhou Mu's parents were both there, earning two copies of money, and his family conditions were much better than hers.

"I said, are you annoying? You don't have to go to key high schools? Did you come over the wall again? I'm going to find our teacher..."

Jian Changnian threw away the tools in her hand, turned around and left.

Zhou Mu quickly caught up with her and grabbed her clothes, fearing that she would leave, and spoke in one breath: "Hey, hey, don't, I really, really, really want to ask you for help!"

"This Friday, our school had a friendly badminton match with Jiangbei No. 2 Middle School. It was sponsored by a sporting goods company in the city. We won a bonus of 1,000 yuan and gave away a racket! I had already agreed to play doubles together. But she rode home yesterday and broke her leg and couldn't stand up. I have already registered her name, and the race will start tomorrow, so it is impossible to retire..."

Zhou Mu shook her arm, looked at her pitifully, and squeezed out two tears: "I beg you, come with me, you are so good at badminton, we will definitely win the first place in the team of!"

Although Zhou Mu's mouth is a bit broken, and sometimes he is quite heartless, but he has been really kind to her since she was a child, and she really can't stand girls acting like a baby.

"Come on, stop your tears, you'll be numb to death. Why, do you seem to be short of money?"

Zhou's parents only have this one daughter, let alone one thousand yuan, even if she wants one hundred and eighty thousand yuan, she has to spend all her heart and soul to get it for her precious daughter.

"I..." Zhou Mu choked, her face turned red, she stomped her feet, and let go of her clothes.

"Just tell me whether you're going or not!"

"If you sign up, you can withdraw from the competition. If you can't play doubles, you can play singles. If you can't win, friendship is the first, and competition is second. Why do you have to win the championship? If you don't make it clear, I won't go."

Anyway, there is no one in the workshop at this time, and being idle is idle, Jian Changnian rarely thought of teasing others, so he looked at her leisurely.

"You..." Zhou Mu was furious, and rushed straight up to tickle her. Jian Changnian couldn't dodge in time, was caught straight, laughed for a while, and finally pushed her away.

"Okay, okay, I can't go!!"

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Zhou Mu let go.

"That's about the same."

"However, you still have to tell me, is there any reason why you must go?"

Tired after playing around for a while, the two of them sat on the ground and rested against the car. The large row of fans above their heads whirred, sending a gust of cool wind.

Jian Changnian is her good friend, and she doesn't want to hide it from her.

Zhou Mu's face was still a little red, he lowered his eyelids slightly, and said in a very soft voice: "The senior will also go to the game."

"I see, you want to get his attention."

Zhou Mu, who was still blushing just now, almost rushed over and pinched her neck.

"A good person, why did she open her mouth!"

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, it's too hot." Jian Changnian managed to pull people away.

"What time is Friday?"

"Starting at seven o'clock, in the gymnasium of No. 2 Middle School, I will come to see you after school."

"I won't be discovered by taking your classmate's place, right?" Jian Changnian was still a little worried.

"Don't worry! It's just a friendly match. I've already told our team. The badminton team of No. 2 Middle School has some issues with us. They also want to win. Besides, they don't know anyone when they go to the No. 2 Middle School. How could that happen?" Know you're an imposter."

"That's fine, but if you win, the bonus will be divided into half and half, and there will be a racket..."

"All right, all right, as long as you're willing to go, I'll give you everything!" While speaking, Zhou Mu glanced at his watch, screamed suddenly, and ran out of the workshop in a flash.

"It's over, it's over, the physical education get out of class is about to end, I have to go back quickly, see you on Friday!"

Before she could reply, she had already run away without a trace.

Jian Chang thought to herself, luckily the two schools are just next to each other by overturning the wall, otherwise if she comes a few more times, she might be able to train a running champion.

On Friday afternoon, because some students who are far away from home have to go home by car, technical schools usually leave early.

Jian Chang read back to the dormitory after class, and several roommates were already dressed up and ready to go out to play. Seeing that she hadn't planned to pack up and leave school yet, one of the round-faced girls rolled her eyes and moved closer to her. come.

"Jane Changnian, aren't you going home this week?"

Jian Changnian took out his only pair of badminton rackets from the cabinet, and gently wiped off the dust that fell on them with a clean towel without raising his head.

"Come back tomorrow."

"Then you go out to play with us. Anyway, you are idle. I have invited some handsome guys from other schools to sing karaoke together. Maybe you can..."

The girl's eyes flickered, and she slapped her shoulder with a bit of pretentious mature obsequiousness.

Because she is the only girl in the entire auto repair major, she had to live in a dormitory with other majors.

Jian Changnian knew her. She was the class flower of the first class of the nursing major. Sometimes she worked in the workshop, and she could always see her walking on the playground holding hands with different boys, with a very intimate look.

Those handsome guys from other schools in her mouth are nothing more than some social idlers with colorfully dyed hair.

Everyone has their own way of life, she doesn't hate it, but she doesn't want to make friends with such a person either.

"I have something to do today, you go."

Thinking of the task assigned to her by "big brother" when she was dating last week, she asked her to find a few younger sisters to play with.

The round-faced girl rolled her eyes, her smile became more sincere, and she held her arm and pouted coquettishly: "Oh, you just go, everyone in our dormitory, let's play together~ Besides, you've been living here for so long , haven’t hung out with us yet.”

Jian Changnian was wiping the racket when he was caught off guard by someone. The racket swayed and hit the edge of the table, and a scratch appeared on the frame of the racket.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly threw the person away in desperation, touching the piece of peeled paint distressedly.

"If you don't want to go, you won't go. You can play by yourself. I have something to do."

She was in a hurry, and didn't pay attention to the severity of her strike. The girl took two steps back, and finally stood firm, her face lost all beauty.

"Jian Changnian, don't be shameless! Letting you play with us is to save face!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, several other people also surrounded him.

"Yeah, what's the matter with you, let you play with us because we think less of you, if you don't go, don't go, why do you push people!"

"I didn't! She grabbed my arm first and hit my racket! I just shook her off!"

Jian Changnian stood up and retorted loudly.

Seeing that she also stood up, a tall and strong girl in the group approached and shook her.

"What are you doing, what are you yelling at! Who are you talking to! Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Sister Yuanyuan!"

"I'm not wrong, what are you apologizing for!" Jian Changnian stiffened her neck and looked up at her, refusing to budge.

"you…"

The tall girl choked. Usually, she just felt that she was dull and not very talkative. I didn't expect her to be so determined and refused to apologize. Looking at her cold eyes, I was frightened for a moment.

The girl called "Sister Yuanyuan" screamed: "It's just a pair of rackets, what's so great about it! You like it so much, I'm going to break it, hit me!"

Jian Changnian still had her neck stuck. She never liked to argue with others, and she had never encountered such bullying. Her eyes were slightly red, and she stared at her firmly.

"Even if you beat me to death, I won't apologize to you!"

The other girls looked at each other, hesitant.

Jian Changnian's neither humble nor overbearing attitude made her a little bit embarrassed.

Yuanyuan pointed at her nose and scolded: "What are you afraid of her doing! A trash from the countryside, even if I make trouble with the teacher, I can settle it. If you don't do something today, don't blame me for not treating you as sisters!"

Hearing this, the tall girl who was the first to push her first, gritted her teeth, and rushed forward to tear her apart.

Anyway, there are people who are responsible for it. Jian Changnian, who has no background and connections in school, will hit him if he hits her. Forgive her and dare not say anything.

"It's just a pair of rackets. Sister Yuanyuan has as much as she wants, let it go! Let it go! Give it to me!"

If there is the first to do it, there will be the second.

In the chaos, she was pushed and shoved, and she didn't know how many times she was slapped.

Jian Changnian bent down, hugged the badminton racket tightly, not letting them take it away, and met their punches and kicks with her back and head.

"Let go of me! Don't touch my racket! It was given to me by my grandmother..."

Seeing that the racket was about to be snatched away by them, Jian Changnian didn't care who it was, and bit the opponent's jaw tightly, choking with tears.

The tall girl suffered from pain, and punched her on the temple. Jian Changnian's vision went dark, and she lost all strength and fell to the ground, knocking over the chair.

There was too much movement, the dorm manager on this floor finally heard the sound and rushed over, pushed open the door and shouted.

"Why, what are you doing! I'll tell your class teacher to go!"

"No... nothing, we're just joking around."

Seeing that Jian Changnian was still lying on the ground, Yuanyuan hurried over to help him up, showing an aggrieved face.

"Student Jian, are you okay? It's all my fault, too careless..."

The dorm supervisor gave her a blank look, and then glanced at Jian Changnian, and he probably knew what was going on in his heart, but she was just a dorm supervisor, not their class teacher, so one thing more is worse than one thing less.

"It's fine, it's Friday, if you want to go home, go home quickly, don't fight around in the dormitory!"

"Yes, auntie, let's go now."

Yuanyuan greeted her with a smiling face, and sent the dorm manager away, seeing that it was getting late, she picked up her bag and went out when she took another hard look at Jian Changnian.

"You wait for me."

＊＊＊

After leaving the school gate, Zhou Mu was already waiting, and when he saw her, he surrounded her in shock.

On Jian Changnian's face, beside the corner of the eye, there was a big bruise.

"What's wrong with you? Who hit you?! Did they bully you again, I'll go..."

Seeing that she was planning to settle accounts with someone, Jian Changnian pulled her back.

"Hey, forget it, school is over, besides, don't you want to play games at night?"

It's past six o'clock now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the game any later, so Zhou Mu could only stomp his feet angrily, talking with her while walking.

"Then you can't let them bully like this! Isn't it enough for you to get textbooks, buy water, give snacks, cook meals, and do laundry for them?! It's all about beating people, and your teacher doesn't care?!"

"I'm not in the same class as them." Jane Chang felt her face hurt a little after reading this, and grinned as she spoke.

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach grumbled.

In the afternoon, I was busy fighting with them, but I didn't have time to go to the cafeteria to eat.

Zhou Mu gave her a white look, took her arm and continued walking.

"That can't be bullied all the time. You still have to find a chance and talk to your class teacher. If it doesn't work, change the dormitory. By the way, you probably haven't eaten yet. Walk around. There is a new one in front of the No. 2 Middle School." Anyone who sells fried rice, let’s try it together.”

Jian Changnian's heart warmed up, and just as she was about to refuse, she was dragged away by someone.

"Hurry up, you won't be able to catch up with the game any later."

＊＊＊

"Boss, two servings of fried rice with ham and eggs."

"I..." Jian Changnian just wanted to speak, but was blocked back.

"Okay, okay, I don't know you yet, even if I eat it, I'm afraid it will be two steamed buns and pickles in the cafeteria. Can I be full? I haven't eaten yet, so eat some more with me."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Mu asked the boss for a hard-boiled egg, and peeled the shell for her to **** off.

"When you go home tomorrow, your grandmother may feel so distressed when she sees your injury. It's not a big deal that you keep being bullied like this. Otherwise, I'll let the seniors of our school go over and warn them..."

Apart from grandma, Zhou Mu was the only one who treated her sincerely.

Jian Changnian's eyes became hot, and he quickly snatched the egg from her hand and lowered his head to apply it himself.

"Let's forget it. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Besides, I don't think they are easy to deal with, and most of them I know are people from the society. I'll just talk to the class teacher about changing the dormitory."

"Then if they bully you again, you must tell me."

"Okay, okay, I got it, eat quickly, I have to go to the competition after eating."

＊＊＊

The urban area of ​​Jiangcheng City is not big, and the schools are almost located in the same most lively area. Although school is over, on Friday evening, there are still street vendors gathering in front of the school, which is very lively.

A bicycle stopped in front of the shaved ice stand not far from Jian Changnian and the others. The boy stretched out his hand to hand over the money, with a hearty smile and a crisp voice.

"Auntie, three servings of shaved ice, and more fruit."

I don't know what kind of wind was blowing, and sent his words into his ears. After a few meters away, Zhou Mu turned his head in a flash, not knowing that the rice on the spoon in his hand was gone.

"Cheng...Senior Cheng...!"

Jian Changnian took the time to look up a few times.

The boy was riding on the bike, facing them sideways, wearing a peaked cap, and his sideburns were cut very short, looking refreshed, wearing a white short-sleeve, the same style of sports shorts, and a pair of shoes on his feet. The sneakers with the name mentioned above, but Yuanyuan in the dormitory also has a pair with the same logo, so it should not be cheap.

"Well, it's not bad."

"What's not bad, don't you think he is handsome?! He studies well and swims well. He has already been selected for the provincial swimming team. It is said that he will not come in the next semester. He is taking a break from school to practice swimming. Many girls in our school I like him!"

As soon as the senior was mentioned, Zhou Mu seemed to be pushed on the praise switch, and countless praiseworthy words gushed out, which made Jian Chang's mind ache, and deliberately encouraged her.

"Then why don't you hurry up and say hello."

"I... I met him once when I was a freshman. He saw that I had a lot of things, so he took the initiative to help me carry them downstairs in the dormitory. There are so many people, he probably doesn't remember me."

"Tsk, there are so many newcomers, why do you only mention it for you and not others."

When Zhou Mu heard her words, his face turned red, and he was about to rush over to scratch her.

"I can't stop you from eating!"

Just as Jian Changnian put the rice into his mouth, he hesitated while hiding.

"Well... If you don't go to say hello, he will leave."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu looked back, as if she had made a major decision, took a deep breath, and stood up abruptly, but just as she lifted her foot, the boy took the prepared shaved ice, turned the front of the car, He rode off without even looking at her.

Zhou Mu deflated instantly like a balloon pricked by a needle, and sat down sullenly.

Jian Changnian's gaze followed the direction in which the boy was leaving, and saw the boy talking and laughing with the two girls under the shade of the tree at the school gate, and handing them the shaved ice he bought, which could not be heard from a distance away. I don't know what they said, but I can feel that they should be very familiar with each other.

The person who teased her just now couldn't bear it, so Jian Changnian put down the spoon: "Have you finished eating? Let's go in first after eating."

＊＊＊

"It's rare to rest for two days. Isn't it good to sleep at home and play games and watch dramas? I have to come here to watch some games. What's so interesting about this kind of games? Children's house games are more interesting than this."

"You train so hard, and when you're on vacation, you're holding back at home. Orange Juice just wants you to come out and relax."

"Relaxing? You can't relax by climbing mountains, running, swimming, diving and playing games. You have to come here to watch some games. He, he may have a crush on some school girl, so I'm sorry to ask, let us be his companions."

The boy nicknamed "Orange Juice" looked around, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sister, sister, I will call you Sister Sheng, please, please keep your voice down, this competition is organized by my father and his company, there may be some His eyeliner let him know that I don’t do my homework and come out to play, and I will be beaten when I go home.”

Seeing the three people in front talking and laughing, Jian Changnian was about to pass them quickly, and was dragged back by Zhou Mu, and the two of them winked, one wanted to overtake and the other wanted to brake, wrestling with each other, No one is willing to let go first.

Because of their commotion, Cheng Zhen, who was walking in front, turned her head back. Jian Changnian swore that she had never seen such a gentle, kind, and affectionate smile on Zhou Mu's face, just like the clay bodhisattva molded in the temple. The same benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes can save all sentient beings.

Jian Changnian pinched himself hard to hold back any laughter, and when Cheng Zhen turned around, he broke his defense instantly and burst out laughing.

Zhou Mu rushed forward to cover her mouth: "Stop laughing! Stop laughing! If you laugh again, I'll show you to death!!"

"Okay, okay, stop laughing. By the way, do you know the two people next to him?"

Just walking all the way, Zhou Mu was observing and recalling, but now he shook his head: "I don't seem to have seen it in school."

Jian Changnian looked thoughtfully at the three people in front, Cheng Zhen was walking in the middle, the **** the left was a little shorter, with long hair reaching her waist, wearing a simple dress, she should look good from the back.

According to Zhou Mu, Cheng Zhen's height is around 180, while the **** the right is only a head shorter than Cheng Zhen, and her height is around 175 by visual inspection, which is very eye-catching among girls.

The tall girl wears a high ponytail, sports short sleeves on her upper body, a sports skirt of the same color underneath, and a blue wristband on her wrist. She is tall and has long legs, narrow shoulders and a thin waist. She is very cool and refreshing.

She had rarely seen such a tall and temperamental girl, and she looked a few more times curiously, who knew that the other party seemed to be aware of it, and turned her head.

When the eyes collided, Jian Changnian suddenly felt like being stabbed by something, and his heart thumped.

She hurriedly lowered her head, while the girl turned her face away, patted Cheng Zhen on the shoulder and continued walking forward.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who like you."

"What are you talking about, I only like that junior high school girl..."

People have gone far.

Jian Changnian was still engrossed in the gaze just now but couldn't recover for a long time. The tall girl had fair skin, a jade-like profile, beautiful eyes, and jet-black hair. Her whole body had a snow-like texture.

"Chang Nian, often Nian." Zhou Mu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes: "What are you thinking about, so engrossed."

"No, it's nothing." Jian Changnian quickly recovered and pushed her away, changing the topic.

"Where are your teammates, are they here?"

"Come here, come on, that's right! Li Jiajia!"

"Zhou Mu! Here!"

Far away, a group of people waved their hands, and Zhou Mu hurriedly dragged Jian Changnian into the gymnasium to reunite with them.

Preparations before the game.

Li Jiajia pulled Zhou Mu aside and whispered.

"This is the person you are looking for? Can it work?" Li Jiajia said while looking back at Jian Changnian.

Jian Changnian is not tall, thin and small, wearing an old gray T-shirt, and the sneakers on her feet have patches. They look a little wooden and rusty, and they don't look like they have received professional training.

It's not that Jian Chang can't hear it, she's used to it, she just sits aside and unzips her backpack and wraps the cushioning film on the racket silently.

On the contrary, Zhou Mu seemed much more excited than her.

"Why can't it work! She used to be invincible in the middle school in our town. Even our physical education teacher praised her for her talent!"

There was a male player next to him who came over with a strange look.

"What? The middle school in the town? I think it's better to give up the match. You have to get someone to play women's doubles together. Does our team lack this champion? Really."

Zhou Mu stamped his feet angrily, abandoned him and ran away.

"Wait and see you guys!"

Seeing her running back angrily, Jian Changnian stopped what she was doing and said in a low voice.

"Zhou Mu..."

"It's okay, they don't believe you, but I believe you." Zhou Mu took out her classmate's school badge from her schoolbag and pinned it to her chest.

"If we join forces, we will definitely win the championship! You will have money, and you can get a new racket..."

Jian Changnian's heart was warm, she smiled, and stretched out her hand.

"Okay, let's work hard."

Zhou Mu gave her a high five.

"come on!"

＊＊＊

When the game started, the stadium was full of excitement, and two middle-aged men were walking leisurely on the playground outside the stadium.

"I said Lao Yan, he didn't even say hello when he came back. I only found out after asking Lao Wan. It's not kind. I have to treat you tonight."

"Hey, it's not something to be proud of, what's there to show off." Yan Xinyuan walked with his hands behind his back, chatting with his friend Song Wei.

Compared with the high-spirited look when he met him a few years ago, Yan Xinyuan is obviously much older, with bald hair, white hair at the temples, and a slightly hunched back.

"Although... but you have been working in the national team for so many years, how can you let you go as soon as you say it, in my opinion, or I can entrust you with a relationship, find a school to be a physical education teacher, and usually go to class , and winter and summer vacations, relax and work with peace of mind until retirement.”

"Why, you haven't been a physical education teacher enough, you want to get me another one?"

When Yan Xinyuan was still playing professionally in the national team, the two were teammates. They had known each other for many years and talked about everything. However, after Song Wei retired due to injury, he returned to his hometown to be a teacher and stayed for so many years.

Talking about the past, the two laughed.

"I just like to get along with children, and I feel younger when I look at them."

When Yan Xinyuan heard this, his eyes became a little distant.

"I still want to be a coach."

"I know you still have unfulfilled dreams..." Song Wei hesitated to speak.

Cheers came from the stadium not far away.

Yan Xinyuan changed the topic: "Hey, what kind of game is this?"

"Hey, isn't this the school rented the venue to a sporting goods company, and held a badminton tournament, which was played by the school teams from each school."

As soon as Yan Xinyuan heard about the badminton match, he became interested and dragged him away.

"Walk around, go and have a look, I said you are really too, you don't care about your school team competition at all, you PE teacher."

"What's the point of this? To put it bluntly, it's just a bunch of kids playing around..."
