Chapter 1402 Discussion Topics
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.
Ripple 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 by the program team for Ripple, the meat was beef jerky brought by Xu Yanyan, and the pickles were courtesy of Ripple. Sponsored, the two shared an energy bar before drinking porridge.
Before the porridge was cooked, they quickly changed their clothes. 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."
Ripple praised with envy in his eyes.
"This is an old uniform, an old uniform from the national team. I wear it as a normal sports uniform."
Although Xu Yanyan said modestly, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
"That's different. This outfit is very memorable. It represents your youth, your sweat and dedication, and the brilliance you have created."
Lianyi's good words came 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 efforts are also real. No veteran athlete should be forgotten."
Ripple 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 teammates.
You know, after our athletes retire, very few 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 retiring every year. It is impossible to keep everyone. Only a very few outstanding ones will stay. The remaining 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. "
Ripple sighed after hearing this. Things often don't develop as expected.
At this time, the porridge had been cooked, and the two of them took the time to eat. There would be many things to do in the town soon.
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 completely solve the employment problem, it can at least provide people with a minimum guarantee. We have a retired weightlifter here who gives baths in a bathhouse just to make a living."
"When this topic is mentioned, it makes people feel a little sad. After all, they have all contributed to the country. People like Xu Yanyan are indeed in the best situation. After all, she has achievements and fame, and can do a lot of work. few."
"Yes, yes! Some athletes who retire due to injuries will even take medication for the rest of their lives. What should such people do? It will be very difficult just to take medication 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 had brought to her fellow retired athletes. At this time, she and Lianyi were walking at the back of the team.
Because it was noon, the sun was high in the sky, and everyone was fanning constantly, and their walking speed became 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, should we speed up a little bit? Everyone is hungry, and it's so hot now. What if we get heat stroke?"
Lin Yan glanced at Xiao Baihua, 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 that Lin Yan would do this. Feeling that he had been slapped in the face, he sighed 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'll 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.
Ripple glanced at Luo Nianke's expression from the corner of her eyes, and 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 said teasingly:
"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 insufficient!”
When Lin Yan heard this, he immediately reacted. He was led astray by Luo Nianke's words, and he also preconceived the idea that women have poor physical strength, and ignored the unusualness of the two of them.
He reacted quickly and immediately said in a joking tone:
"That's good. I saw that you two were walking at the end. I thought you started to doze off after you had eaten and drank enough."
"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 think the four amateur companions also need to replenish some personal items. Two hours is enough. ?"
Lin Yan looked at his watch and said:
"It's about time. We'll meet at the entrance of Yangliu Town at three o'clock."
This time, no one had any objections, 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:
"Compared to what?"
"Run to see who reaches the entrance of Yangliu Town first. Whoever loses will be treated to ice cream."
"Okay! No problem."
Xu Yanyan responded readily.
"Come, let me see if General Xu's physical fitness has deteriorated."
The two of them flexed their wrists and ankles, then looked at each other in a tacit understanding and started running at the same time in the direction of Yangliu Town. After all, it was just such a road, and there was no such thing as getting lost. It was just a pain to follow the cameraman. , holding a camera and running behind.
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 walked at the end just after eating, so they are not suitable for strenuous exercise."
"That's right! Some people actually used this excuse to find trouble. They thought they were bronze, but they didn't expect that they were kings. The slap in the face was quick and painful!" (End of Chapter)
