Half an hour later, everyone gathered at the door of the inn on time. No one would set themselves up to be confused and late at this time.
Lianyi and Xu Yanyan had already eaten and drank enough. In order to save time, they cooked a pot of meat porridge. The rice was provided to Ripple by the program team, and the meat was beef jerky brought by Xu Yanyan. , Xiao Xian Cai was kindly sponsored by Ripple, and the two of them shared an energy bar before drinking porridge.
They quickly changed their clothes before the porridge was cooked. Ripple was wearing a red sportswear, and Xu Yanyan was wearing the national team uniform before retiring. After changing their clothes, the two praised each other.
"Yanyan, this national team uniform looks really cool on you. You have a unique style at first glance."
Lianyi praised with envy in her eyes.
"This is an old team uniform, the old team uniform of the national team. I wear it as a normal sports uniform."
Although Xu Yanyan said modestly, he could not hide the smile in his eyes.
"That's different. This outfit is very memorable. It represents your youth. Your sweat and dedication are also the brilliance you have created."
Ripple's kind words Throw it out immediately.
“It’s all over. Now there are successors to the national team, and there are better juniors to replace me.”
Xu Yanyan said, with a little sadness in his eyes.
"Their excellence is undeniable, but your contribution is also real. No veteran athlete should be forgotten."
Lianyi said insistently.
Xu Yanyan smiled, and then said:
"I accepted the invitation this time because I wanted to do my part to see if I could find a better way out for my injured and retired companions. .
You know, after our athletes retire, very few of us can stay as coaches. After the peak of our athlete career, physical strength and injuries force us to choose to retire. The road to survival after retirement is also very difficult.
We cannot all rely on the country. There are too many athletes who retire every year. It is impossible to keep everyone. Only a few very outstanding ones will stay. The rest of the people can only find their own way out. .
I was lucky, because my image was pretty good, so after I left the national team, I went to the city to coach the youth team. ”
After hearing this, Ripple also sighed. Things often develop unsatisfactorily.
At this time, the porridge was ready, so the two of them took the time to eat and go to work in the town later. There are many more.
The conversation between the two was also broadcast live online, and there was a lot of discussion below:
“The country should not forget the contributions of athletes. Even if it cannot solve all employment problems, it can at least provide them with a minimum guarantee. We have A retired weightlifter lives in a bathhouse and gives people baths.”
“It makes people a little sad when I mention this topic. After all, they have contributed to the country, and people like Xu Yanyan are indeed. She is already in the best situation. After all, she has achievements, is famous, and can do a lot of work.”
“That’s right! Some athletes who retire due to injuries will even take medication for the rest of their lives. What should people like this do? It’s very difficult to take medicine for themselves, let alone support their families.”
“We can appeal to the public to pay attention to this special group and find a better way out for them. .”
The director was looking at the comments on the Internet at this time, and he didn't expect that just an ordinary conversation between the two people would actually trigger a social discussion. This made him somewhat unexpected. Then the related topic became a hot search, and the Internet started a new trend. A new round of discussion.
At this time, Xu Yanyan still didn’t know how much help her words would bring to her fellow retired athletes. At this time, she and Lianyi were walking at the back of the team.
Because it is noon, the sun has risen to the sky, and everyone is constantly fanning, and the walking speed is getting slower and slower.
At this time Luo Nianke also started to have troubles. She looked at Lianyi and Xu Yanyan at the back of the team, walked to Lin Yan in a few steps and said:
"Captain Lin , let’s speed up a little, everyone is hungry, and it’s so hot now, what if we get a heatstroke?” Lin Yan glanced at the little white flower, then turned around and said:
"Everyone, go to the shade and rest for a while. We will reach Yangliu Town in about one kilometer."
Luo Nian didn't expect Lin Yan to do this and felt like he was being slapped in the face. , pouted a little aggrievedly, and then returned to the amateurs. Song Ya secretly rolled her eyes at Luo Nianke.
At this time, everyone walked to a big tree, took out the water they brought and started to replenish water.
"Lianyi, Yanyan, can you still hold on? We will reach Yangliu Town in just one kilometer."
Lin Yan said to the last two people who came.
This made Luo Nianke's face look much better.
Looking at Luo Nianke's expression from the corner of her eyes, Lianyi knew that this guy was stirring up trouble. She obviously wanted to establish an image of the two of them as a hindrance in front of the audience, but was she stupid?
Not to mention her strength, although Xu Yanyan is a retired athlete, her physical fitness is there, will she be a hindrance?
So Lianyi immediately put on a smiling face and deliberately teased:
"Captain Lin, you have forgotten that Yanyan and I set out after we had eaten and drank enough. We deliberately slowed down in order to cooperate with you. Otherwise, with the physical strength of Yanyan and I, we should have arrived in the town long ago. Are you right? Our understanding is not sufficient!”
When Lin Yan heard this, he immediately reacted. He was led astray by Luo Nianke’s words, and he also preconceived that women had poor physical strength, and ignored the two of them. unusual.
He reacted quickly and immediately said in a joking tone:
"That's good. I saw that you two have been walking at the end, and I thought you started dozing off after eating and drinking. ”
“Don’t worry, we will never be left behind.”
Xu Yanyan also said with a smile.
"Captain, in this case, why don't we split up? Yanyan and I are going to buy some cheap and high-quality labor tools, and you guys are going to have dinner. I see that the four amateur companions need to replenish some personal items. Is two hours enough?”
Lin Yan looked at his watch and said:
“It’s almost time. We will meet at the entrance of Yangliu Town at three o’clock.”
No one had any objection this time, and the matter was settled.
Lianyi turned to Xu Yanyan and said:
"Yanyan, are you interested in playing a game?"
Xu Yanyan asked with interest:
"For what? ? "
"Run to see who reaches the entrance of Yangliu Town first. The loser will be treated to ice cream."
"Okay! No problem."
Xu Yanyan responded readily.
"Come, let me see if our physical fitness, General Xu, has deteriorated."
The two moved their wrists and ankles, then looked at each other with a tacit understanding and started at the same time. , and ran towards the direction of Yangliu Town. Anyway, it was just such a road, and there was no such thing as getting lost. It was just that the cameraman who was following him ran after him with a camera in his hand.
At this time, someone immediately jumped out to comment on the barrage:
"It can be seen from the running posture of these two people that they are both regular exercisers. They probably just finished eating when they walked last, so they are not suitable for strenuous exercise."
"Yes! There is actually someone there. I used this excuse to find trouble. I thought that the person was a bronze, but I didn’t expect that the person was a king. The slap in the face was quick and painful!" (End of Chapter)
