Return to the top of the road to champions

1996年2月11日，为期8天的第三届亚冬会火炬在哈市熄灭。中国代表团以15枚金牌、7枚银牌、15枚铜牌名列金牌总数第一

Men's figure skating even won a gold medal in a record, breaking the situation of zero medals in the 21 years since the establishment of Chinese men's figure skating.

The heavy gold medal not only gives hope to the entire figure skating team but also to the General Administration of Sports. If Tao Wei can maintain his peak form, the Chinese men's figure skating team will hope to hit the Winter Olympics in Nagano two years later. Back then, even a bronze medal was a breakthrough for figure skating.

At the closing ceremony, Tao Wei, the athlete representative, and the mayor of Harbin handed over the Olympic Council of Asia flag to Cui Juegui, the governor of Gangwon Province, South Korea, where the next Asian Winter Games will be held.

The successful conclusion of the Asian Winter Games came to an end. Wan Xiaodong and Tao Wei, two athletes from the black land, comforted their parents and fellow villagers with their practical actions and fulfilled the hometown feelings in their hearts.

The next day the national team boarded the return train, and Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong were granted a seven-day leave because they returned to their hometown for the first time in five years.

The train gradually disappeared from sight. Tao Wei, who looked away, looked at Wan Xiaodong who was standing beside him and Shi Yang, who was righteously saying that he wanted to protect the two children. To Geng Erfeng.

At this time, Geng Erfeng, who was smiling all over his face, could not close his mouth from ear to ear. He stepped forward and pulled each other, "Go home, go home."

Geng Erfeng didn't care about anything else at all. He just wanted to go back to L County and Dawangtun to tell his sister and brother-in-law that Erwa was back with a medal.

The road was bumpy, and at [-] o'clock in the evening, the van with a load of people finally drove into Dawangtun. The flashing lights had not stopped, and the sound of crackling firecrackers sounded.

The old and young men of Dawangtun who received the news early poured out of the house as if they were celebrating the New Year. After waiting for a day, the old and young men who finally saw the headlights saw Wan Xiaodong for the first time and lit the firecrackers in their hands.

Beating gongs and drums, cheering and laughing, surrounded Wan Xiaodong and Tao Wei and poured into the compound of Wan Yonggui's house as if they were welcoming heroes.

The gold medal in his hand was constantly reproduced, and the excited folks were reluctant to leave for a long time under the careful touch. If it wasn't for the old gun uncle accidentally seeing Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong who were sitting on the kang, they had already fallen asleep sitting up. Maybe when the trouble will come.

Tired bodies are full of tired hearts. Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong, who finally returned to their hometown, were able to barely accompany the folks who rushed over at first, but as time went by, the two couldn't bear it anymore and leaned against the wall He fell asleep with his head down.

Tao Wei who was awakened again opened his sleepy eyes, staggered back to the house, climbed onto the kang and fell asleep.

Gently pulled the quilt over Tao Wei's body, stroked Tao Wei's thin cheeks, Geng Erfeng's eyes turned red, she came back and finally came back, after five years of anticipation and five years of thinking, the child finally came back, not only came back, but also With the glory all over his body, what is that, that is a gold medal, the gold medal that he has never seen in his life actually landed in the king's house and landed in his own home.

Thinking of those words of envy, Geng Erfeng couldn't help but want to laugh, who has his own child to win, two gold medals.

In the early morning of the next day, Geng Erfeng, Wan Yonggui, Wan Xiaodong and even Shi Yang, all dressed up, brought a complete set of sacrifices, and accompanied Tao Wei to the back mountain with firecrackers, and came to the parents' tombstone again. There was still a dull pain in his heart, but Tao Wei did not burst into tears like in the past.

Silently placed all the sacrifices, Wan Yonggui lit the firecrackers in his hand, and Tao Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, gently took out the gold medal and placed it in front of the tombstone, "Father, Erwa is back, come back to participate In the competition, Erwa did not embarrass you, Erwa took first place in skating, parents, look at this is the gold medal, Erwa is quite capable."

Asking with a smile, Tao Wei, whose eyes were shining with water, blinked vigorously, and Wan Xiaodong, who was kneeling beside Tao Wei, also took out his gold medal, "Auntie, Uncle, look, I have one too, I am also the number one, aunt and uncle, don't worry, I said to protect the second child, I have not forgotten."

In the rambling, they stayed for a full hour before the group left again.

During the seven days, Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong ran all over the field with the wild horses who were having fun, catching sparrows in a trick, as if they wanted to make up for their lost childhood, and even Shi Yang followed suit.

Time flew by, seven days flew by in the blink of an eye, and the day before he left, Wan Yonggui invited all the village folks to eat a pig-killing meal. There was only one reason, to celebrate the honor of the two children fighting for the king.

The next morning, before dawn, Tao Wei, Wan Xiaodong, and Shi Yang quietly left accompanied by Geng Erfeng and Wan Yonggui. Looking at Dawangtun shrouded in darkness, the resentment that they once thought would never be eliminated disappeared. No matter how wrong the old and young masters of Dawangtun used to be, this piece of land is after all the black land where he was born and raised.

Withdrawing his eyes and leaning on the back of the chair, Tao Wei's heart was extremely calm. This time when he went back, Tao Wei looked at the old house. The old house that hadn't been lived in for several years was full of cracks because of the years. Tao Wei wanted to wait for the beginning of spring. Time to ask Wan Yonggui to find someone to overthrow and rebuild the three brick houses.

Although he didn't say it clearly, before leaving, Ma Deming gave Tao Wei a vague nod. For this gold medal, the General Administration will reward Tao Wei. Based on Tao Wei's experience, the so-called reward should be material.

Calculating the living money in his hand, Tao Wei thinks it is about the same. Tao Wei, who has no investment brain, can do nothing but save money. To buy a house, he is not old enough and the conditions are not allowed. He can only wait until he is an adult. Old houses can wait, but old houses cannot.

On the train at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Tao Wei took the time to confess to Geng Erfeng and Wan Yonggui, begging them to help flip the old house when the spring begins, and he will call back the money after the money is returned.

Tao Wei's behavior was completely justified in the eyes of Wan Yonggui and Geng Erfeng. No matter how beautiful the outside world is, the homestead cannot be lost. Wan Yonggui, who patted his chest to reassure Tao Wei, even promised that he would be able to do it when Tao Wei came back next time. Saw a brand new big brick house.

No matter how reluctant he was, it was time to leave. This time, although his face was still full of tears, Geng Erfeng sent Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong away with a smile.

On the journey again, both Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong understand that after returning, the two will prepare for the World Youth Championship, especially Tao Wei. The World Youth Championship is related to whether Tao Wei can get tickets for the 98 Winter Olympics .

After a night of silence, the three returned to Beijing the next afternoon and went straight to the national team. They first sent Tao Wei back to the figure skating team to Ma Deming, and then Shi Yang brought Wan Xiaodong back to the speed skating team.

Sitting on the bed, Shi Yang didn't even have the strength to take off the package hanging around his neck, so he waved his hand at Wan Xiaodong who was squatting on the ground laughing, "Tiger egg, take off the luggage for brother."

The feeble Shi Yang made Wan Xiaodong smile more cheerfully, he stood up and walked into Shi Yang, "I'll let you show off your abilities, I'll pay you back, what are you doing?"

Shi Yang, who showed off his abilities, carried all the packages on his back along the way. Shi Yang, who had no idea what Geng Erfeng was wearing, realized something was wrong when he knew the luggage was on his body. Yang Leng walked back to the speed skating team pretending nothing happened.

After taking off the big bag hanging around Shi Yang's neck, Wan Xiaodong opened the bag under Shi Yang's gaze, and a big bottle and a small jar appeared in front of him. Shi Yang couldn't help but rolled his eyes and touched it with his foot. Wan Xiaodong, "What are you talking about?"

Amidst the hahaha laughter, Wan Xiaodong pulled out a big bottle, and when he opened it, the pungent smell of miso came out, and Shi Yang, who hit the bed with a thud, let out a muffled groan.

Pickles, miso, all kinds of bacon, and even meatloaf, five bags of food made Shi Yang speechless for a while.

After slowing down, Shi Yang kicked back and took Wan Xiaodong around to give gifts. Although it was a bit awkward, Wan Xiaodong was not completely ignorant. Seeing pieces of bacon being sent away, and jars of pickles being sent away, Wan Xiaodong was terribly distressed.

The unspeakable consequence was that Shi Yang kept trying to pretend to be a good person, and Shi Yang's stiff smile, whose back was blue, finally relieved Wan Xiaodong, who was angry after seeing the empty package.

Thinking about Tao Wei's food, Wan Xiaodong's eyes lit up, he grabbed the last remaining chicken, jumped up, shouted to find Tao Wei, and ran away, rubbing his old waist, helpless Shi Yang laughed Shaking his head, he stood up and went straight to Fade Chen's office.

One was to report for duty and the other was to discuss Wan Xiaodong's training. Under Chen Fei's ridicule, Shi Yang, who did not change his face, accepted it cheekily.

From this day on, Wan Xiaodong has a special coach, who is also a coach who has returned from studying abroad. Whether he is envious or jealous, Shi Yang insists, anyone can only bear it.

After all, Shi Yang is an old man of the speed skating team. No one knows what is going on. To put it mildly, it is smart, but to put it mildly, it is damage.

Everyone who touched their noses and nodded in recognition could only envy Wan Xiaodong, who is a fool.

But Tao Wei, who returned to the figure skating team, did not enter the training stage again like Wan Xiaodong, but entered the rest stage in an all-round way. After receiving this news, Tao Wei himself was relieved, let alone Yang Guocheng. Seeing Tao Wei laughing every day, in fact, the exhaustion rising from the bottom of Tao Wei's heart was a little uncontrollable, and it was precisely because of this that Ma Deming went directly to the leader of the General Administration and won three for Tao Wei. There is a one-month rest period, otherwise Tao Wei's state is likely to decline if he directly enters the preparations for the battle.

And from this day on, Tao Wei has completely entered the rest period. After receiving the news, Tao Wei smiled and slept hard for three days. Tao Wei who opened his eyes again let the worried people breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly Everyone knew that Tao Wei was exhausted. Fortunately, the rest period finally came, and Tao Wei could finally catch his breath.
