C110 End

Autumn is cool.

On the River Huai Plain, the mature rice was blown by the autumn wind, causing layers upon layers of continuous golden waves to arise. This was a harvest season.

On the small square in front of the village council, Xia Botao and the villagers were busy arranging the venue.

This afternoon, the leaders of Shengzhong Group and the guests from all walks of life were coming here to cut the ribbon for the recently completed poverty alleviation factory. This was a major result of the village's poverty alleviation work.

It was no wonder that even though Xia Botao had been busy for half a month, there was no sign of fatigue on his face at all.

A small electric bicycle stopped in front of the village committee. It was Zhu Heng.

Xia Botao hurriedly put down the work in his hands and ran over, shaking Zhu Heng's hand.

"Old Xia, you're busy here. What can I help you with?" Zhu Heng casually asked.

"Teacher Zhu, how can I let you suffer? You can come and support us, Zhu Heng said. We are so happy. Please take a seat at the village committee for a while. I will make you a cup of tea. You should have told Xia Zhi to come over and chat with you earlier. But I don't know where she went. . . I'll call her right away. "

" Don't blame Xia Zhi. She called me early in the morning. " Zhu Heng smiled and said, "You forgot, she went to the provincial airport in the morning to pick up her teammate Fang Han from the national team. "

Xia Botao slapped his head and said, "Sigh, I'm so busy that I'm confused. You're right. Xia Zhi said he was going to pick up Fang Han, and Xiao Lin was driving with her. In the past, I always saw children playing football together on television. This time, I finally have the chance to meet Fang Han face to face. I have to thank her properly. If it wasn't for her pulling strings with her cousin Fang Ning, How could our village's poverty alleviation project attract such a large company like Shengzhong Group to participate?"

"Old Xia! According to the deployment of the Party Central, your village's poverty alleviation and war can be considered a complete victory. Even though you can't leave Fang Han and the others to help you, you poor alleviation officers have devoted your lives to the grassroots, and you have contributed a lot! " Zhu Heng said with emotion.

Xia Botao smiled and said, "Their China female ranking has won glory for the country in the World Championship, raising the national flag and playing the national anthem. That's what they have done. Now, everyone in all walks of life says that they want to learn the spirit of the female volleyball from the new era, but we are the same. . . "

As he speaks, Xia Botao brings Zhu Heng to the house of the village committee. After walking a few steps, Xia Botao suddenly remembered something. He took out a stack of neatly folded paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Heng. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Teacher Zhu, I really have something that I want to trouble you with. "

Zhu Heng was surprised.

"This is. . . I want to speak on behalf of the village. Teacher Zhu, you are experienced and knowledgeable. Can you help me take a look at this speech draft? Is there anything wrong with it?" Xia Botao said.

Zhu Heng smiled and nodded. He took Xia Botao's speech and silently read it.

"Old Xia, I've finished reading the speech. There are no other problems, but this part needs to be changed. " Zhu Heng said.

"Oh? Where should I change it?" Xia Botao hurriedly asked.

Zhu Heng pointed to a paragraph in the script and said, "It's here, Old Xia. It's about introducing the guests attending the ribbon cutting ceremony. Have you forgotten that Xia Zhi and Fang Han aren't just world champions anymore? Their titles should be 'China female racer, Olympic champion'!"

. . .

The car driven by Lin Yichao drove quickly on the airport highway. Xia Zhi and Fang Han sat in the back, chattering and laughing for a long time. Although they hadn't seen each other for a month after the Olympics ended, the two girls seemed to have reunited after a long time.

"Little Superman, Sister Wei and Teacher Yang's wedding date has been set. Do you and Brother Chao. . . Have a plan?" Fang Han said with a smile.

Hearing Fang Han's joke, Xia Zhi's face turned slightly red.

"Eh, little lion, you saw Instructor Wei? How's her situation recently?" Lin Yichao asked loudly.

"Not at all, I had a video call with her two days ago. " Fang Han said, "She is now with Teacher Yang and Uncle Wei on vacation on a small island in the vast Pacific Ocean. "

"Whoa!" Lin Yichao sighed and said, "Sister Wei's carefree lifestyle, I really admire and envy her!"

"Sister Wei has brought us to work hard for three years. It's time for us to rest. " Xia Zhi said, "It's just that. . . I really can't bear for her to leave. "

"Lion, are you sure that Sister Wei. . . Won't be the head coach of the national team anymore?" Lin Yichao asked.

Fang Han nodded. Her eyes were filled with sadness and regret. "She told me personally that the club has already made an initial agreement with her. . . "

Hearing this, the two girls became silent.

However, as Lin Yichao drove, an unnoticeable smile appeared on his face.

"Sigh, I'm a little envious of Easy Bro. " Fang Han sighed and suddenly said.

"Hmph, count her luck!" Xia Zhi also agreed.

"Who asked them to have Tianning Women's Row Club's home ground in Runzhou, at Sister Wei's house!" Fang Han said.

"The Pro League is starting in two months. Let's split up and go to Runzhou. We have to get Sister Wei and her to treat us to delicious food!" Xia Zhi said.

"Did the two of you forget. . . " Lin Yichao suddenly interrupted in the front row and said, "I'm going back to Tianning female rehearsals to be an assistant coach!"

"Yes!" Fang Han shouted loudly, "Brother Chao! You won't be able to escape either! Me! I want to eat! Delicious! "

. . .

A tropical island in the South Pacific.

The sun shone on the undulating waves of the sea, turning into countless dazzling rays of light, causing the few people who were playing on the beach to be pleasantly surprised to find that they were already in a dream.

Wei Xindi leaned against a reclining chair on the beach alone. He looked at the sparkling blue sea and couldn't help but be amazed.

"You even came out to sunbathe in the middle of the afternoon. You really don't show any mercy to yourself. If the sun gets dark. . . Then wearing a wedding dress won't look good. "

Wei Xindi didn't need to turn his head to know that the one who spoke was his fiancé, Yang Fei.

"It's precisely because there are fewer people on the beach now that there's a rare silence. You know, my favorite thing to do is watch the sea quietly. Oh, right. Aren't you playing chess with my dad while enjoying the cold air and drinking beer?" Wei Xindi asked back.

"We played a game. Uncle felt that my game was smelly. He took the tablet computer and went online with his old chess friends. . . " Yang Fei smiled awkwardly and laid down on the other reclining chair beside him. He stretched comfortably.

"You don't have to say. I'm really not used to being idle all of a sudden. " Yang Fei said.

Wei Xindi smiled and didn't say anything.

The two of them fell silent at the same time, looking at the sea in front of them, lost in thought.

The waves surged to the ground, and the sound of the waves seemed to fill the entire world in front of them.

In an instant, the two of them seemed to feel that it would be great if time could stay at this moment forever.

"Heart Reed. . . You. . . Don't you. . . Still feel a little reluctant?" Yang Fei suddenly asked.

Wei Xindi was still silent.

"Ha!" A few seconds later, she sighed and turned to look at Yang Fei, answering: "If you want to say that I can't bear to part with it, then. . . Even so, she really couldn't bear to part with them. . . But look at this wave. The waves in front of us are surging and standing at the top of the wave, but the waves behind us will still surge forward wave after wave, and they will even charge higher and stronger than the waves in front of us. So. . . "

" Oh?" Yang Fei looked at her.

"So, my front wave is on the beach!" Wei Xindi chuckled as he tried his best to conceal the reluctant and sad expression on his face that had involuntarily flashed a moment ago.

"That's right, Yang Fei!" Wei Xindi asked again, "I'll test you! Do you know when the hardest time I've felt in these three years was?"

"That goes without saying. It was last year's female volleyball World Cup, when I got injured during the summer!" Yang Fei blurted out.

Wei Xindi shook his head.

This made Yang Fei feel somewhat surprised.

"Could it be. . . When the Olympic group competition loses one after another?" When Yang Fei gave his second answer, he was obviously much more cautious. His voice could not help but become a little low, "I understand. At that time, you were under a lot of pressure. . . Actually, it wasn't just you. Everyone on the team, even Director Chen, couldn't sleep well. . . "

However, Wei Xindi shook his head again.

Yang Fei was puzzled and muttered, "It can't be the World Championship for women under 23 years old the year before. . . Although you got sick the moment you came to Thailand and the competition was full of twists and turns, it was still a youth competition after all. . . "

"Haha, I knew you guessed wrong!" Wei Xindi interrupted Yang Fei before he could finish his sentence.

"When. . . When?" Yang Fei looked at Wei Xindi and felt that he was right. Was his fiancee joking with him on purpose?

Wei Xindi looked at the sea and said, "Do you still remember the day of the final match of this year's World Women's Racing League Championship? That day was the most difficult day I've felt in these three years!"

This answer was truly out of Yang Fei's expectations.

Although the China female volleyball had met the American female volleyball that had dealt them a heavy blow, no matter what, that match was only a match in the world female volleyball league. Moreover, the China female volleyball had won in a battle of wits and courage. Why did Wei Xindi feel that it was the most difficult period of her three years?

Therefore, Yang Fei widened his eyes and looked forward to Wei Xindi continuing.

"Because that day is the day I will submit the list of the top twelve athletes of the Olympic Games to the China Orderly Association!" Wei Xindi said.

"The big list. . . Oh, right. I remember now!" Yang Fei suddenly realized, "Because the next day, Director Chen will be going back to Beijing to open a guild. He will have to discuss the big list of China's female volleyball and then hand it over to the General Administration of Sports. "

After thinking for a while, Yang Fei said, "Actually, I think so. I don't think there is much suspense in that big list. For example, Little Superman and Qing in the main attacking position, Little Lion in the secondary attacking position, and Easy Bro. There's also Jun Jun, Little Rabbit in the deputy position, as well as Little potato in the free man position. . . These members are basically all your main line-up candidates for the World Series over the past few years. They were also members who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Even among the substitutes. . . "

" It's who can become a qualified substitutes. . . "Wei Xindi took over the conversation and said," He gave me too many difficult questions! "

As Wei Xindi spoke, his thoughts seemed to have returned to that day, back in Hua Chuan's hotel room. . .

When she sat in front of the desk in the hotel room, looking at the thin piece of paper in front of her. . . When she picked up the pen in her hand, Wei Xindi really felt that the pen weighed thousands of kilograms.

According to the general rules, among the 12 people in the Olympic volleyball competition, there were three main attackers, four secondary attackers, two supporting players, two second-graders, and one free player. The female volleyball team was the same, and the male volleyball team was the same.

Even if there was room for adjustment, it would only be one person in each position of the main and secondary attackers. It could be a combination of four main attackers and three secondary attackers.

Wei Xindi hoped that the Olympic Games could have a list of fourteen people, just like the World Championship, the World Cup, and the World Women's Racing League, and that they could be submitted before each match. This meant that at least fourteen people, and even more players, had the chance to participate in the games.

But the rules of the Olympic Games were twelve people, and one more couldn't do it!

Just like what Yang Fei said, the young China female racers had been through world competitions over the past few years. Their main line-up had been relatively fixed and they had gotten a good training.

Regardless of victory or defeat, whether it was sweat or tears, Xia Zhi, Wang Xiaoqing, Fang Han. Xiao Xiao, Yuan Jun, Gu Weiyang, and Li Mengxi, these girls had all grown from ignorant girls who only knew how to charge forward bravely in the beginning. They had grown into top experts in the female volleyball world who were rich in experience and knew how to use their brains and wisdom to play football. They were even first-rate stars.

For example, Xia Zhi had experienced the cruelest injury in his life. She did not fall.

For example, Fang Han and Gu Weiyang. They had both been bursting with confidence, but they had also faced challenges of self-doubt and self-denial. They didn't fall.

As for everyone else, no matter if it was the fierce challenges of their opponents or the benign competition between teammates, they didn't shrink back or feel depressed. No one fell easily.

This was exactly what a main line-up should look like!

When Wei Xindi wrote down the names of these people on the letter, he did not hesitate at all.

However, when it came to the choice of substitutes, Wei Xindi couldn't put down his pen.

In the main attacking position, Song Simian and Mo Xiaoyu were two players with completely different styles. Song Simian had the upper hand in terms of height and strength, but her technical style and Xia Zhi's inevitably "overlapped. " Although Mo Xiaoyu was short and young, her technique and defense were also very important in China's female platoon's current tactical system.

Wei Xindi found it very difficult to abandon either of them.

After all, it had only been a few short months since the summer return. If her injuries appeared again in the fierce Olympic Games, the China female volleyball had to have a "backup plan. " The most suitable "backup plan" was undoubtedly Song Siming.

Then what about Mo Xiaoyu. . . Everyone, including Mo Xiaoyu, understood that it was precisely because she came from the same club as Summer's. They were both in the same position, so. . . When he brought Xia Zhi to the Olympics, he also brought the youngest of all the members, Mo Xiaoyu. . . Wei Xindi understood. If she made such a choice, regardless of whether the China volleyball Association would approve it or not, She might even have to bear the discussions and doubts of other provincial and local clubs.

After all, everyone hoped to have their own players win glory for their country!

Sometimes, "balance" had to be taken into consideration.

Not to mention, in the training list of the "Big National Team," There was also a player like Li Xuantong who was willing to silently contribute and work hard. Even if Li Xuantong's technical skills were not particularly "long," her offensive and defensive skills were relatively comprehensive. Wei Xindi couldn't forget either. In the critical match of the female rehearsals under the age of 23, Li Xuantong, who was entrusted with the task of fighting the fire, played the role of a "firefighter. " She could be said to be one of the main contributors to China's female platoon number two winning the championship of that year.

The main attacking position was difficult enough, but the substitutes in the secondary attacking position also gave Wei Xindi the same problem.

Lin Yan had the height advantage, so she was good at blocking the net. But she was not a strength type secondary attacking player. Moreover, her personality always gave people a soft and weak feeling. In the Olympic Games, it was inevitable that she would encounter an opponent who would "stab her with a knife to the red. " Would the "little beauty" be able to withstand it?

If they were to follow the "Four Attacks," would the old Han Jiahui be brought along? After all, if there was an old man at home, if there was a treasure, would Han Jiahui, who had once won the last Olympic Games with her teammates, be able to become the "Sea God Stabilizing Needle" of China's female racers at the critical moment?

Wei Xindi felt that she should look at the receiving position first. . . In the past two years, Xiong Xin had played the role of a substitute for the team. She was also one of the more comprehensive offensive and defensive skills among these young players. Then what about Elder Lu Ming? She was also an experienced veteran. Furthermore, the technical characteristics of Lu Ming were almost the same as Xiong Xin's. They even surpassed her.

Wei Xindi thought of the second pass position again. Actually, this position seemed to have little suspense, but there were still possible variables.

Could Gu Weiyang really succeed in the second place of the Olympic Games?

As a young player who was younger than most of the other attackers, Gu Weiyang just happened to be in the team's tactical organizer and starter position, a special core position. And the little bunny would occasionally "explode," so wouldn't the old captain Zhou Shuyao be the safer choice to start the second game?

In that instant, Wei Xindi seemed to want to write Zhou Shuyao's name before Gu Weiyang. But then she thought, if she trusted Gu Weiyang as the starting second pass, would Zhou Shuyao be able to stand on the Olympic field as a substitute second pass? Could the other second best player, Huang Yiming, who seemed to have no advantage in terms of experience and strength, not become the "third choice"?

After all, Zhou Shuyao also had an old knee injury. He was young, healthy, tall, and physically stronger than Zhou Shuyao. Could the better HuangArt Meng be the second-in-line second-in-line for this year's Olympic Games? When he was in China's second female platoon, Huang Yimeng had done a good job as a substitute for Gu Weiyang!

As he thought about it, Wei Xindi even had some new ideas about being a free agent.

That's right, he had always been the number one freeman in China's female platoon. Li Mengxi, who had participated in various competitions, seemed to be the only free man among the 12 people in China's female platoon.

However, last year, she joined the team before the World Cup and had a college student, Qin Mowen, who was good at spreading rumors. Did she not have a chance at all? That was not the case either! Although Qin Mowen had only received professional training for a short period of time, her IQ was high, and she was a professional player. She was also the best "weapon" to make up for the gap between herself and a professional player.

Just like that, after writing down the names of the main players in his mind, Wei Xindi felt even more confused. He could not write again with the pen in his hand.

Suddenly, she thought of Xu Zhenguang.

After ending the closed training in the female platoon base in Huan City this year, Wei Xindi took advantage of the resting day before the transfer of troops to pay a special visit to Xu Zhenguang, who was recuperating in his hometown. The two of them naturally discussed the topic of the candidates for the Olympic Games.

Although Xu Zhenguang did not give Wei Xindi any clear suggestions, he said that he hoped that Wei Xindi would be able to get rid of all restraints and truly choose twelve people who could play a role in this Olympic Games.

"There is only one goal, and there is only one reason, and that is. . . Defending the Olympic Games!"

At that time, Wei Xindi only listened and nodded. He felt that this was nothing more than a comforting word from the old man.

But now, Wei Xindi suddenly thought of this sentence, and she couldn't help but open up her originally tangled vision.

Song Siming and Mo Xiaoyu.

Wei Xindi wrote down these two names behind Xia Zhi and Wang Xiaoqing with a few strokes. She thought, this time, I'll bring four main attackers!

It wasn't that Wei Xindi didn't trust Xia Zhi. As the head coach, she had to think of everything that could happen, even if the probability of it happening was extremely low. She had to make the most complete and appropriate preparations for the Olympic Games from every detail.

Besides, Song Siming also had the ability to play the role of the guest "Great Acceleration," which could add unexpected variables to the tactics of the China female volleyball.

As for "balance," Wei Xindi felt that Chen Jiaxiang and the leaders and coaches of the various clubs would eventually understand and understand her decision to break the balance and exceed the norm!

After determining the candidate to be the main attacker, Then, the secondary attackers would be three people!

Other than Fang Han and Xiao Xiao, Wei Xindi finally chose Lin Yan as the third secondary attacker.

Although Han Jiahui was experienced, the female platoon in the world had already expanded. In the Olympic Games where every point had to be fought, the China female platoon had to create as much pressure as possible for their opponents on the Internet. Han Jiahui, a veteran who specialized in fast attacks, was not very tall. As she grew older, her jumping height also decreased.

So. . .

As for everyone who always felt that Lin Yan's character was weak. . . Wei Xindi thought that during these few days of training, she was already able to see firmness and courage in Lin Yan's eyes more and more. Wei Xindi felt that if the Olympic Games were an opportunity, Lin Yan might really be able to achieve a change in her personality.

No, not maybe, it should be. . . Definitely!

Although the Olympic female volleyball competition went from the group to the final, there were only eight games that were full. But the next day was an intense battle, and it was a huge test for the physical strength of any team member.

When he thought of this, Wei Xindi painfully gave up on another old veteran, Lu Ming, and chose the young Xiong Xin as Yuan Jun's substitute. Wei Xindi felt that Xiong Xin and Yuan Jun seemed to complement each other instead of being substitutes.

Then the second place. . . Wei Xindi pondered for a moment, and just like before, he wrote Zhou Shuyao's name behind Gu Weiyang's name.

The second place wasn't as big as the other places due to age and physical limitations. However, this wasn't the only reason he chose Zhou Shuyao as his "family has one elder, if there is a treasure. "

Wei Xindi understood that the reason why Zhou Shuyao fought tirelessly with his injured leg and serious injuries was because she was filled with extreme desire and persistence to once again stand in the Olympic Games. And this desire and persistence would have a chance to transform into Zhou Shuyao's powerful combat strength.

Finally, Wei Xindi's gaze landed on Li Mengxi's name once again. She understood that Li Mengxi, who had been indulging in volleyball since she was young, had been born for this position. There had always been a giant hidden within that tiny body of hers!

They were the 12 people I needed the most, and they were also the 12 people who could help China achieve the goal of defending the Olympic Games!

. . .

Looking at Wei Xindi who was lost in deep thought, Yang Fei could not bear to disturb him.

At this time, Wei Xindi regained his senses.

She didn't say anything else and just smiled at Yang Fei.

"Although it's difficult, it's all in the past, isn't it?" Yang Fei comforted her softly, "You won the Olympic championship and achieved the first time in the history of China's female volleyball Olympic Games that you successfully defended. No matter how hard it was, you and your girls were worth it!"

"No! No! No!" Wei Xindi naughtily shook his head, his expression becoming serious again," Teacher Yang, how many times have I said it!? They are not 'my' girls, they are 'China's girls'! "

. . .

One afternoon a month later, the news conference hall of the Runzhou Aquarius Center was fully occupied.

Tianning Women's Row Club had set off for the new season of the China Women's Row Tournament and the pre-match press conference had attracted more than ten local media outlets, including the provincial ones, to attend.

Although the press conference had yet to officially begin, as the new captain of the Tianning Women's Row, Xiao Xiao, the champion of the new Olympic Games, had already been surrounded by reporters the moment she made her debut at the venue.

After the baptism and training of the Olympic Games, Xiao Xiao, who was originally introverted, had the demeanor of a great general. Faced with the media's long spears and short cannons, as well as one question after another, Xiao Xiao magnanimously answered them.

"Xiao Xiao, many clubs view Tianning female volleyball as one of the strong contenders for the new season's championship. What do you think about this topic?" A reporter asked.

"Our Tianning Female Row was once a veteran league. Although it's regrettable that we haven't been able to obtain satisfactory results for several years in a row, I'm confident that I can work together with my teammates this season to help the club regain its former glory. " Xiao Xiao said.

"Then, may I ask, which aspects do you have confidence in?" Another reporter asked.

"We have a lot of excellent young players entering the first team from Team Two this season. They are our team's fresh blood and new strength growth points. The club also increased their investment in the fan club and invited the American female volleyball's vice-captain Kelly and the German female volleyball to assist Drunol in joining the club. More importantly, the coaching staff of our Tianning female platoon is also. . . "

Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped speaking and waved her hand not too far away.

The reporters saw a familiar figure appear not too far away. They did not have the time to continue interviewing Xiao Xiao as they immediately rushed forward with their interview equipment.

"Director Wei, everyone previously guessed that you would be the head coach for the new season of the Tianning female rehearsals. . . " A reporter said, "From the looks of it now. . . "

Wei Xindi smiled and said, "Now it seems that if not for this, why would I be here? Right? "

Wei Xindi's humorous words made everyone laugh.

"Then can you tell us the reason why you chose to retire after leading China's female volleyball to win the Olympic Games, and instead coach a domestic club team?" Another reporter asked.

"First of all, I'm from Runzhou, and I used to be a member of Tianning's female volleyball team. When I get home and become a coach for the female team, being able to contribute more to Tianning's volleyball career is already a dream of mine. " Wei Xindi said.

Looking at Xiao Xiao, Wei Xindi continued, "Secondly, I don't think the reason why I didn't renew my contract with the China female platoon was because I 'succeeded and left'. I think. . . In order for China's female platoon to prosper, I also need to learn and improve. Starting from teaching our domestic clubs. I similarly look forward to being able to nurture more and more outstanding young members like Xiao Xiao and the others in my new post. Let China's female platoon have a successor! "
