Chapter 1483 Lift High
"...At 8pm local time on August 22nd in Los Angeles and 11pm domestic time today, the 34th Summer Olympic Games will hold a grand closing ceremony at the Pasadena Stadium. This Olympic Games Many stories on the Internet will also come to an end at this moment with the extinguishing of the sacred flame... After fierce competition, the Chinese Olympic Games The Chinese Olympic delegation won 40 gold medals in this Olympics, beating the American delegation with 39 gold medals, and topped the gold medal list of this Olympic Games. This is also the second time that the Chinese Olympic delegation has ranked first after the Capital Olympics! It is also the first time that I have topped the gold medal list in an Olympic Games held outside my home country..."
"...In addition, according to the delegation, the flag bearers of the Chinese delegation at the closing ceremony of this Olympic Games have also been determined. They will be Li Qingqing, who led the Chinese women's football team to win the Olympic gold medal in women's football, and Hu Lai, who led the Chinese Olympic team to win the Olympic gold medal in men's football. After this arrangement was exposed, it immediately won unanimous praise from everyone online. Everyone believes that they are well-deserved. Both of them helped their respective teams achieve major breakthroughs in the history of Chinese sports... At the same time, as we all know, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing are also a 'fairy couple' in our country's sports world, and they can work together. The flag bearer at the closing ceremony will definitely become a good story in the history of the Olympics!”
"Alas!"
"Good news, why are you sighing?" Hu Lixin asked his wife strangely when he heard this.
Xie Lan sighed again: "Don't I feel sorry for Lao Li? He can't watch the closing ceremony with us!"
The expression on Hu Lixin's face was wonderful: "Okay, okay, you are driving Mr. Li to death!"
"How do you say it?" Xie Lan rolled her eyes at her husband, "I am trying to make him change his impression of our son little by little. As the saying goes, 'Sneak into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently', this is called subtlety!"
"That's really unfortunate. I want to take the team to training, and it was decided long ago."
"If it hadn't been decided long ago, I would have suspected that Lao Li was avoiding us on purpose." Xie Lan said helplessly.
As the school year approaches, Li Ziqiang’s Dongchuan Middle School football team participates in a week-long training camp. Instead of training in school as usual, the entire team of more than 50 people was dragged to Pujin in the south of Jincheng, where there is the training base of the Jincheng Football Association.
Therefore, this training camp must be spent overnight outside, and it is impossible to come back.
In fact, this training camp was not organized by Dongchuan Middle School, but by the Andong Football Association, which arranged for several well-known football schools in Andong Province to come together for training, exchanges and competitions.
It's said to be a training camp, but it's actually more like a small-scale invitational tournament.
This is not the first time that the Andong Provincial Football Association has organized such an invitational tournament. Every winter and summer vacation, this method is used to strengthen the connection between campus football in the province, improve the level, and increase the competitiveness of Anton campus football in the entire national campus football - after all, this province has produced Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei, Luo Kai, If Xia Xiaoyu and Li Qingqing, the five national players, show off their hips in the national competition, wouldn't they be an embarrassment to their seniors?
In addition to the high school group, they will also organize junior high school and elementary school groups, but the time is different from the high school group. Hu Lixin has led a team to participate.
So it was definitely not that Li Ziqiang made a temporary excuse to escape, but that it was really decided in advance.
It was just a coincidence that when they set off on August 23, it was the day of the closing ceremony.
"Be content, at least he still watched the game with us. And he saw Qingqing make our son's celebration twice." Hu Lixin said.
Xie Lan burst into laughter upon hearing this.
When she thought of that scene, she felt comfortable all over.
At the same time, I am even more looking forward to the closing ceremony at noon today.
※※※
When viewed from the air, the Pasadena Stadium in Los Angeles looks like a wide-open clay pot. But Americans were not very familiar with clay pots. They thought the stadium looked more like a horseshoe, so they nicknamed it the "Horseshoe Bowl."
Americans call all such roofless, circular stadiums "bowls."
These "bowl"-shaped stadiums are home to many rugby teams. Football has a very high status in the United States, and there is a famous event called the "Super Bowl" every year. It is a major social event in the United States, and its level of attention is no less than that of China's Spring "Bowl"...
Today this "horseshoe bowl" is filled with people.
The stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is packed with seats. Looking down from the air, the beautiful light show makes this old stadium seem to have regained its youth.
The stadium is hosting the closing ceremony of the XXXIV Summer Olympics.
It started with a cool light show.
Of course, in the eyes of Chinese audiences, it's actually not that cool.
The fireworks show was also pretty average.
This is definitely not nitpicking by the Chinese audience, it’s just the way it is.
Mainly because there is no money left in Los Angeles...
Hosting the Olympic Games is a very expensive affair. From the time of the bid to the present, various expenses have been astronomical, and the budget has been exceeded again and again.
Finally, when it comes to the opening and closing ceremonies, it can naturally be saved.
The opening ceremony of this Olympic Games is so embarrassing that everyone complained after watching it: "It's already 2028, and the opening ceremony of the 2012 China Capital Olympics is still an unsurpassed classic..."
The opening ceremony stretched my hips, but the closing ceremony was actually not much better, or even worse.
However, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, who were waiting in the waiting area, didn't care whether they stretched their hips during the closing ceremony.
For both of them, as long as they can attend the closing ceremony together, the crotchless closing ceremony will be the best memory.
Their teammates are chasing stars in the Chinese delegation at this moment, busy taking photos with various Olympic champions.
Hu Lai and Li Qingqing did not join in the fun.
This is not because they are reserved and put on airs, but because they are together enough for others to take photos with them, there is no need to attack everywhere...
Yes, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, the new flag-bearers, have become the "mascots" of the Chinese delegation, and the Olympic champions have come to take photos with them.
Everyone gathered together under the national flag and took photos of Li Qingqing and Hu Lai in various poses.
So the two of them have been standing at the front of the delegation, waiting for various people to take photos.
Later, in addition to the members of the Chinese delegation, there were even athletes from other countries’ delegations who came here.
Every time someone came up to take a photo with them, Xu Wen would stand nearby and record the video with her mobile phone, and kept saying to herself: "A talented man and a beautiful woman! A couple of gods and gods! Wow!"
Li Qingqing was speechless: "What are you going to do, Wenwen?"
"Me? Ah, of course I'm posting on Xiaobozhan and Douyin! Jie Jie Jie!" Xu Wen smiled like an old witch...
Li Qingqing glanced at Hu Lai speechlessly, but Hu Lai didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, let's go! We are aboveboard, why are we afraid of comments from monsters and monsters?"
Xu Wen gave him a thumbs up: "Hu Lai is bright!"
Hu Lai gave her an "OK" gesture in return.
※※※
This group photo continued until the opening performances of the closing ceremony were over, and everyone returned to their respective delegations under the reminder of the volunteers on site.
The flag bearers of each country all stood at the front of the team and gathered together.
Because when the time comes, they will have to appear alone first, and only after the flags of all countries have appeared, will it be the athletes' turn to appear.
The noisy waiting area gradually became quiet, and the host's voice was heard from the radio outside: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the flags of the two hundred and five delegations participating in the 34th Olympic Games. Enter! ”
The flag bearers and flag ushers of each delegation were divided into two teams under the leadership of the usher and entered from different gates.
The first one to appear was the Greek delegation. Because the Olympic Games originated in Greece, even if the initials of Greece's name are not A, they are always the first to appear in every Olympic Games. This is the appearance of the founder of the Olympic Games.
Next, the delegations will appear in alphabetical order by their names.
The last one to appear will be the host delegation of the United States.
The initial letter of the Chinese delegation is C, and it will be our turn soon.
The usher turned back to look at Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, and smiled at them: "Please follow me, we are about to appear."
Hu Lai and Li Qingqing looked at each other and smiled.
Then Hu Lai stretched out his hand to Li Qingqing: "Come, brother will take you to fly!"
Li Qingqing, who was holding the flagpole, handed her other hand to Hu Lai. She gently patted Hu Lai's palm, and was held tightly by the other party.
She suddenly remembered what she said to Hu Lai on the jumping machine at Disneyland in Paris that year, and she extended her hand for him to hold.
That seemed like...the first time they held hands?
Thinking of this, the smile on Li Qingqing's face became even brighter.
Then she waved the flag forward and raised it with all her might.
It was actually a bit strenuous to support the flagpole with one hand. Just as Li Qingqing was secretly exerting force, he suddenly felt a lightness in his hand.
It turned out that Hu Lai stretched out his left hand to help her catch the flagpole.
The two of them held their left hands with their right hands, and their left and right hands supported the flagpole together.
Just follow the flag leader and usher and walk forward and step out of the gate.
When they entered the main venue, a huge light pillar fell from the sky, enveloped them, and moved forward with their steps.
The flashing lights in the stands flashed constantly, making them feel as if they were walking in a galaxy of bright stars.
The cheers of the audience were the sound of the rising and falling stars, echoes from the depths of the sea of stars.
※※※
"Come out! Come out!"
Xie Lan excitedly pressed the video button on her mobile phone, which had been prepared for filming, and recorded the scene of her son and daughter-in-law walking into the venue hand in hand holding a flag.
At the same time, on the TV, the CCTV host was also saying excitedly: "Friends in the audience! What is coming now is China! The two athletes who will serve as flag bearers at the closing ceremony of this Olympic Games are from the Chinese women's football team and the men's football team. Olympic team, they are the star of women’s football team Li Qingqing , and Hu Lai of the men's football team! The two of them represent the highest level of Chinese men's and women's football! They led their respective teams to win the Olympic championship in this Olympics, achieving a zero breakthrough in Chinese football in the Olympics! Achievements! ”
Xie Lan didn't say anything, for fear that he would disturb the video.
But she pumped her fist hard behind the camera.
Well said!
Say more!
※※※
Li Qingqing concentrated on holding the flag and walked forward. She was a little nervous. For example, she didn't realize that she was holding Hu Lai's hand very, very hard...
She was afraid that she would not move well or let the flag hang down.
This was a nervousness she didn't even feel when she took the last penalty kick in the semifinals.
After all, the weight of the flag in my hand... is really heavy.
At this moment she suddenly heard Hu Lai whisper in her ear: "Hold the flagpole with both hands."
Li Qingqing came to her senses and wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to ask. She had no choice but to obediently let go of Hu Lai's right hand, and then grabbed the forward-leaning flagpole with both hands.
Then she felt Hu Lai flash beside her, appear behind her, and grab her waist with both hands.
She was a little panicked: "Hey, what are you going to do, Hu Lai?"
"What for?" Hu Lai chuckled, "Of course...raise it high!"
With this sound, Li Qingqing felt her body sway and suddenly lost her center of gravity, and then she was directly lifted up by Hu Lai!
But Hu Lai bent down and actually put Li Qingqing on his shoulders!
"Wow!"
Li Qingqing exclaimed in fright, her body swayed slightly, and she reflexively tightened her legs around Hu Lai's body, while holding the flagpole tightly with both hands.
"How about it? Wave the flag, Qingqing! You are the tallest in the audience now!" Hu Lai shouted from below.
After Li Qingqing got over the initial panic, he excitedly waved the flagpole in his hand to let the five-star red flag fly.
Hu Lai's move also attracted cheers and applause from the audience.
※※※
"This is... ha! Hu Lai lifted Li Qingqing up and made a horse-riding movement! Everyone knows that Hu Lai and Li Qingqing are a couple. Maybe this was what they had discussed before... Ha! ! ”
The TV commentator was also startled, but quickly regained his composure and explained to everyone in an excited tone.
Xie Lan in front of the TV punched hard again:
Well done, son! You young people still know how to play!
※※※
Li Ziqiang led his players to the canteen of the Pujin training base.
They had just arranged their dormitory rooms and it was lunch time.
Although the journey was tiring and tiring, Li Ziqiang was in a good mood.
Because he doesn't have to watch the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games with Sister Xie and Lao Hu at home, and naturally he doesn't have to see his daughter and that boy Hu Lai appear as flag bearers in the highly anticipated venue...
< br>
With this relaxed and happy mood, he and the members of the Dongchuan Middle School football team stepped into the canteen of the training base, and were surprised to find that there were already many people in the canteen, all of them players from several middle schools who came to participate in the invitational tournament.
However, these people did not eat honestly, but all looked up at the TV...
Seeing this scene, Li Ziqiang suddenly had bad thoughts in his heart.
Before he could continue to think deeply, a huge exclamation burst out from the crowd.
“Wow!!”
Li Ziqiang subconsciously looked at the TV screen and saw his daughter being lifted on the shoulders by Juletto on the huge TV screen!
And his daughter was waving the national flag excitedly, with a happy smile on her face...
The crowd in the cafeteria was screaming and cheering:
"Ahhh! Hu Lai is awesome!! Well done!!"
"Holy shit! This dog food is so good!"
"I came to the cafeteria to eat...Ah, yes, so I'm full, there's nothing wrong with me, old man!"
"So envious! What could be better than showing off your affection at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games?!"
"They should get married as soon as possible!! Who will move the Civil Affairs Bureau there?!"
……
Li Ziqiang stood where he was, his body swaying as if he were a sapling in a strong storm that might be blown down at any time.
※※※PS, what is that? Although it is a single update, it just happens to catch up with such a plot, so I still shamelessly ask for a monthly ticket~~
