Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 273 A young man from the shooting team came to comfort Wen Xue
Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei were squatting by the shallows, holding the fish caught by Lin Yuan's fork in their hands and putting them into the bamboo basket on the shore.

We can have fish to eat tonight.

The middle-aged man walked to the bamboo basket, lowered his head to take a closer look, and couldn't help but be amazed.

Not only did this guy never miss a shot, but each fork pierced the fish's gills precisely, killing the fish instantly without damaging any of the meat.

The young man in front of him was indeed a natural archer. He was impressed by his talent and said loudly, "Little guy, if you throw like this, you will hurt your wrist."

Lin Yuan then stopped, straightened up, and looked back at the other person.

The man was wearing a military green short-sleeved shirt with frayed cuffs, and he exuded an indescribable capable temperament.

Lin Yuan knew that what the other party said made sense. Throwing with such force could easily injure the wrist, but with his physical fitness, there was no need to worry.

He raised the corners of his lips with a somewhat uninhibited smile, his young eyebrows and eyes revealed a sharpness far beyond his thirteen years old, and he said confidently: "I know my limits."

"Nothing for today, but what about the future?" The middle-aged man's eyes fell on Lin Yuan's slightly red knuckles, and he changed the subject and asked, "Who did you learn this skill of spearing fish from?"

“It’s innate.”

"Would you like to try archery? Bullseyes are much more interesting than fish."

The middle-aged man became interested. His name was Li Jinbo and he was the head coach of the shooting team of the provincial sports team.

He had just returned from leading the provincial team to participate in a competition outside the province, and happened to come here to cool off. Unexpectedly, he met such a talented young man.

Li Jinbo was very satisfied with Lin Yuan's preview accuracy, arm strength, and hand-eye coordination.

If this child is guided into archery, he might become a rising star in the team.

Lin Yuan shook his head without hesitation.

Li Jinbo was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why?"

"Archery is too easy and not challenging." Lin Yuan said in a calm tone.

"Have you ever played archery?"

"No." Lin Yuan said in a very conceited tone, "But archery and spearing fish are the same to me. If I want to hit the target, I can hit it."

Li Jinbo couldn't help but laugh. This kid was quite arrogant.

A young boy who has never touched a bow and arrow is so arrogant.

He couldn't help but retort: ​​"You haven't even touched a bow and arrow, what right do you have to say that?"

Qiao Sanli chimed in, "My brother never lies."

Because of Li Jinbo's verbal communication, Lin Yuan's rhythm of catching fish was disrupted.

The smell of blood in the river scared away the fish. The originally dense silver fish shadows were now reduced to only a few scattered ones hovering and exploring in the distance.

However, it is enough to catch a few fat fish.

After all, it is no longer a live fish, and there are no refrigerators in this era. If it is kept for too long, it will go bad.

“Anything involving accuracy, I can shoot accurately.”

Lin Yuan smiled confidently, his face full of youthful arrogance.

"Go ashore and get ready to go home." He patted Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei on the back.

The two little girls followed Lin Yuan, walked towards the shore on the smooth pebbles, and slowly lowered their trouser legs.

Li Jinbo suddenly came up with an idea: "Come to Nanjing Institute of Physical Education and try it out. If you can hit the ten rings, I will give you a custom-made bow and arrow."

Li Jinbo has already made up his mind. If Lin Yuan is really good at archery, he will recruit this kid into the shooting team at all costs, and will naturally customize personal equipment for him.

After all, archery is much more interesting than spearing fish.

What he didn't know was that Lin Yuan came out to fish purely to bring Qiao Sanli out to relax, to enhance the relationship between the siblings, and also because he wanted to have some fun and relax.

If he were an adult, or if there was Internet in this world, Lin Yuan would not have chosen this way of relaxing.

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise: "Are you from the Sports Institute?"

Li Jinbo smiled and said, "I am the head coach of the provincial archery team, Li Jinbo."

Lin Yuan suddenly realized that he had originally thought about participating in individual sports events when he grew up, such as track and field or swimming. After all, it was not difficult with his physical fitness.

At this time, entertainment is scarce, and when the Olympics return in the near future, such sporting events will attract great attention in the country.

Whenever athletes win gold or silver medals, cheers can always be heard from television, radio and other media. The boiling sense of national pride makes people truly feel the irrepressible excitement.

This shows how strong the Chinese people's sense of collective honor is.

If he wins an Olympic gold medal, in front of thousands of people, with the national anthem playing and the red flag flying, it will be the supreme honor and his name will quickly spread across the country.

The man in front of me is the coach of the provincial team and has some say. Moreover, archery happens to be an individual sport and there is no need to coordinate complicated team tactics. It is indeed a good opportunity to get in touch with this line.

"I'll go when I have time. Sanli, Simei, go home."

Lin Yuan picked up the bamboo basket and walked slowly towards home, and the two little girls followed him, jumping and skipping.

……

Qiao Simei also followed back to the Lin family eagerly, and her eyes never left the bamboo basket.

After all, Qiao Simei had never eaten any good food while in the Qiao family.

Lin Yuan casually took one out of the bamboo basket and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

Qiao Simei immediately smiled, caught the fish carefully, and went home happily holding the fish.

Qiao Sanli said softly: "Thank you, brother."

In fact, it would be fine even if Lin Yuan didn’t share the fish with the four beauties.

Wu Xiulan had already returned home. She poked her head out of the kitchen and saw her son coming back with a few more fish. She had already gotten used to it.

After all, my son always comes back with a few fish every now and then.

But today the fish were all quiet. She moved closer to the bamboo basket and saw that there was a small, regular hole on the gills of each fish, which seemed to have been pierced precisely by a sharp object.

On the other side, in the Qiao family yard.

"Brother! Look what I brought back!"

Qiao Simei shook the big crucian carp in his hand with a proud look on his face.

Qiao Yicheng put down his work, frowned and asked, "Where did it come from?"

"Sanli and I went to play in the suburbs with Brother Lin," Qiao Simei's eyes sparkled, "Brother Lin used a bamboo fork to pick it up."

"The fish you forked?" Qiao Yicheng repeated.

Lin Yuan knew that he was good at fishing, and not only he knew it, but everyone in the alley knew it.

Although people don't say it out loud, they are all more or less envious in their hearts, but most people either don't have the time or the skills.

Qiao Yicheng is a bit sensitive and inferior in his heart, and he is unwilling to do things that are just plagiarizing others.

If he fails to catch any fish, he won't be able to afford the embarrassment of his neighbors comparing themselves with him.

If he were asked to lower himself to ask Lin Yuan for advice, he would be even less able to do it.

A child without a mother has to grow up early. He knows that outsiders are unreliable, and he just wants to take care of his younger brothers and sisters through his own efforts.

Unless Lin Yuan was willing to teach him proactively, enthusiastically, and unreservedly, his fragile pride would not allow him to do so.

But this was the first time he had heard of spearing fish.

Qiao Simei danced with joy and said loudly, "Yes, Brother Lin cut a bamboo tip and stuck it into the water. It caught a lot of fish in a short time. Brother, let's go next time. Then we can drink fish soup every day like Sanli."

Seeing Qiao Simei's face full of admiration and excitement, Qiao Yicheng felt a surge of dissatisfaction in his heart, and said in a thorny tone: "A fish bought you off? If you want to recognize him as your brother so much, I won't stop you."

In school, his grades were always lower than Lin Yuan's, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Not to mention that Sanli and Lin Yuan are close, now Simei is also showing signs of becoming his fan girl, which makes him, as the eldest brother, very frustrated.

Qiao Simei was a little afraid that Qiao Yicheng would get angry, so she called out weakly, "Brother..."

Qiao Yicheng then realized that his tone was too harsh, and sighed helplessly: "Put the fish here, I'll make you crucian carp soup later."

……

As the summer vacation was coming to an end, Lin Yuan decided to visit Nanjing Institute of Physical Education.

Li Jinbo watched the team members' daily training boredly, feeling a little regretful. He should have asked the child for his home address, but now he couldn't get in touch with him.

Or just ask for my name.

I guess that kid doesn’t even know what his role as head coach is.

"Coach Li, there's a kid outside who says he's here to see you."

Li Jinbo was delighted when he heard this: "Bring him in."

Not long after, Lin Yuan walked in, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice, "Coach Li, what you said last time still counts."

"As long as you can hit the ten-ring at a distance of seventy meters, of course you can."

Li Jinbo was the focus here, and when people around him heard this, they all turned their eyes to him.

This young man actually wanted to hit the ten ring seventy meters away.

"Zhang Xin, get him a set of bows and arrows, and teach him how to use them."

Zhang Xin was a little confused: "Huh?"

No, this kid has never used a bow and arrow, but he wants to hit the ten rings. Is there something wrong with Coach Li's brain?

Li Jinbo snorted in dissatisfaction: "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Oh." Zhang Xin came to Lin Yuan with a set of bows and arrows for teenagers, took him to the shooting point, and explained, "Hold this place with your left hand, put the arrow here, pull the bowstring back with your right hand, and aim at the center of the target you want to shoot..."

Zhang Xin was still talking when there was a whoosh and an arrow flew in and landed within ten points of the bull's eye.

Everyone who saw this scene gasped.

Only Li Jinbo showed a happy smile on his face.

But this is not over yet. Lin Yuan pulled out the arrow from the quiver, drew the bow and put the arrow on it again, and it still landed accurately within the ten-point circle.

More and more people gathered around, but no one dared to make a sound until Lin Yuan hit the target with all five arrows in the quiver. Then everyone started to talk excitedly.

"Oh my god, oh my earth, five ten rings in a row."

"Is this really your first time using a bow and arrow?" "Coach Li, are you kidding us again?"

Lin Yuan ignored the flattery and shock, looked at Li Jinbo beside him, and asked: "This bow is barely usable for me, can I take it away?"

Joy burst out in Li Jinbo's eyes. He was a talented shooter who never missed a shot. Moreover, he was only in his teens. As long as he was trained well, he could easily suppress an entire era.

"Yes, but the prerequisite is that you have to join the archery team. After all, this is a public thing."

"Then you were lying to me?" Lin Yuan said calmly, put down the recurve bow, turned around and left.

Geniuses all have tempers.

He had the idea of ​​joining the archery team, but that didn't mean he had to obey the same old discipline after joining the team.

If he was willing to join the archery team, he would naturally have to obey Li Jinbo's discipline. On the contrary, if he pretended to be unwilling to join the archery team, then the status between the two would be reversed.

"Everyone disperse and train on your own."

Li Jinbo shouted, then quickly caught up with Lin Yuan and whispered something to him. Everyone was staring at this scene in a daze. Is this still the ruthless Coach Li?

Li Jinbo took Lin Yuan to a supply and marketing cooperative and bought him a lot of snacks, which helped to "calm" Lin Yuan's dissatisfaction a little.

Then he continued to tell Lin Yuan about the glorious history of the provincial archery team and talked about the future benefits of joining the archery team.

Bonuses, honors, future jobs...

Afterwards, he asked Lin Yuan to go back to Lin Yuan's home together. He wanted to discuss this matter with Lin Yuan's parents.

Wu Xiulan had not returned yet, so Li Jinbo had to wait patiently at Lin Yuan's house.

Qiao Sanli was originally playing with Qiao Simei next door, but after hearing the noise at home, she trotted back.

The simple fan in the room, made of old parts and batteries, was turning "hummingly".

Lin Yuan gave her some of the snacks that Li Jinbo had brought. After she happily finished eating, he continued to test her on her word choice.

Lin Yuan taught well and Qiao Sanli studied seriously, which made Lin Yuan very satisfied.

It was not until the evening that Wu Xiulan returned home exhausted.

When she saw the stranger Li Jinbo appear in her home, she looked puzzled.

"You are Lin Yuan's mother, right? I am Li Jinbo, the head coach of the provincial archery team."

After Li Jinbo introduced himself, he directly stated his purpose, "Lin Yuan is very talented in archery. I want him to join the archery team. He will definitely win the national championship, or even the world championship in the future!"

Wu Xiulan frowned and said, "Archery? He... doesn't know how to shoot arrows? You guys won't charge for this, right?"

Li Jinbo quickly explained: "He didn't know how to shoot arrows before, but he has a talent for it. And we don't charge any money. If Lin Yuan performs well in the competition, he can get a generous bonus."

"But he still needs to study. He has to take the college entrance exam in the future. He doesn't have the time."

Li Jinbo replied: "The purpose of going to college is to find a job. As long as he joins the archery team, he won't have to worry about his future job and income."

Wu Xiulan was at a loss. She didn't even know if Li Jinbo was a liar. She looked at Lin Yuan blankly.

Lin Yuan said in a deep voice: "If there are selections and competitions, I will participate, but I am still studying now. I promised my mother that I would be admitted to a good university in the future, so I may not be able to participate in all daily training."

Li Jinbo thought for a moment and said, "Then you have to come at least once a week."

There is no problem with Lin Yuan’s strength, but in the top-level showdown, what is tested is not just strength.

Concentration, endurance, mentality... Training in these aspects is also crucial.

"Row."

In this way, Lin Yuan joined the provincial archery team.

……

After the summer vacation, Qiao Sanli also entered elementary school.

On the first day of school, Lin Yuan specially sent Sanli to report.

The leaves of the sycamore trees rustled in the campus. This was also where he spent six years in elementary school, with the familiar teaching buildings, playgrounds, and many teachers who were still teaching.

The teachers recognized Lin Yuan at a glance, and greeted him with a smile. When their eyes fell on Qiao Sanli, they also showed a little more concern.

"Don't let yourself be wronged. If anyone dares to bully you, you should bully him back. If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility for you." Lin Yuan squatted down and gently rubbed her head. "If there is anything, you must tell me in time, do you understand?"

Qiao Sanli nodded obediently: "I know!"

Looking at Qiao Sanli's back as she sat in the classroom, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he always liked to tease the well-behaved and quiet girls in the class. Now thinking about it, it seems really childish.

But then again, if anyone really dared to bully and tease Qiao Sanli, Lin Yuan promised that he would teach these little brats a lesson they would never forget.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it doesn't matter.

My own Tong, no, my own good sister, how can I let others bully her?

Lin Yuan left the primary school and went to his own junior high school.

I found my class's classroom, went in and sat down in a random seat. On the mottled desk was still engraved the immature vow of "Wang Xin loves Xu Ni". There were layer upon layer of scratches the size of fingernails, all signs of youth.

In Lin Yuan's eyes, these boys and girls in the class, with their childish faces, are just a group of children who have not grown up. He has no intention of getting along with these kids. He just wants to be a quiet handsome man.

Compared to elementary school, junior high school has many new subjects. The one that left him speechless the most was the English class. He didn't know which village in England the English teacher's pronunciation was learned from, and it really made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he knew English, otherwise he would have been led astray.

On weekends, he took Qiao Sanli to the Sports Institute for training and let Qiao Sanli taste the food there.

Li Jinbo watched Lin Yuan nock the arrow, pull the string, and release the arrow in one go, and the arrow hit the bull's eye accurately, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

If such a talented young man neglected his skills because of his studies, it would be more painful than killing him.

However, such peaceful days did not last long.

That day, when Lin Yuan returned home from school, he saw that his house was surrounded by three layers of people.

I saw a male reporter sitting next to Wu Xiulan in the courtyard and interviewing her.

"Lin Yuan is back!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone looked at him and consciously made way for him.

"Time and Space Friends in the Notebook" written by Lin Yuan has been available in major bookstores. It has been greatly sought after for its concise writing style, clear illustrations, and imaginative technology.

With the cooperation of the newspaper in promotion, sales increased rapidly in just one or two months.

It is extremely rare for a science fiction novel written by a 13-year-old junior high school student to be published and sell well.

Moreover, such things can serve as positive cases in the field of education, inspiring more young people to love learning and creation.

Soon, TV stations came to interview us, as they certainly wanted to spread this positive message.

Seeing Lin Yuan coming back, the TV station reporters were even happier.

Wu Xiulan didn't know that Lin Yuan had created such a novel in his spare time. The reporter's questions were all about Lin Yuan's family background and interests and hobbies.

Now that the real owner is back, he naturally pointed the microphone in his hand at Lin Yuan.

I started asking about his creative inspiration and creative process.

Lin Yuan was not afraid and talked freely in front of the reporters and neighbors.

He has the youthfulness typical of his peers, but also has a bit of calmness due to his solid writing skills, appearing low-key and humble.

After the interview, the neighbors surrounded Wu Xiulan and praised her non-stop.

"Sister Wu, I told you that your son will be a great talent!"

"Sister Wu, my daughter is only one year younger than your Lin Yuan. Why don't you ask Lin Yuan to come to my house more often?"

"A phoenix has flown out of our chicken coop!"

Wu Xiulan was so happy with the compliments and praises that she couldn't stop smiling.

……

It was not until winter that the publishing house sent Lin Yuan's royalties.

Lin Yuan took out half of it and gave it to Wu Xiulan.

The main purpose was to make Wu Xiulan's life easier in the future. After all, Wu Xiulan was really good to him and had never caused him any trouble. She basically met all his requests.

When Wu Xiulan saw so much money, her jaw almost dropped. After the TV station came to interview her, she only knew that her son wrote a best-selling book, but she never expected he could make so much money. This was almost her two years' salary.

My son is really capable.

This money must be saved and left for my son to buy a small house in the city in the future.

Lin Yuan also went to Nanjing University and treated Wen Qinghua and Wen Xue to a big meal.

Favors are accumulated through repeated eating and drinking.

There was also another major event that winter: many oppressed intellectuals were about to resume work.

The fathers of Wen Qinghua and Wen Xue were naturally among them.

If you make friends with such a family, if you are attacked and criticized in the literary world in the future, there will naturally be a lot of people who will stand up for you and speak up for you.

Lin Yuan even planned to treat Wen Xue to another meal alone, wanting to learn more about her past. This would also help him accumulate a lot of useful material for his future articles and add more rationality.

At the same time, he would use his not-so-broad arms to gently comfort Wen Xue, trying to soothe her wounded heart.

It’s a pity that Wen Qinghua and Wen Xue are classmates and siblings, so it’s not easy to find an opportunity for them to be alone.

For the first time, he felt that Wen Qinghua was a bit of a hindrance.

But then again, you are still young, there is a long way to go, there will always be plenty of opportunities, it’s okay to do these things when you are older.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost the New Year. On this day, Lin Yuan did not go to school or the Sports College. He wanted to go to the Confucius Temple and buy some things for Wu Xiulan and Qiao Sanli.

As Lin Yuan was the top student in his grade and a best-selling author, the school was very lenient with his requirements. After all, Lin Yuan was still a good candidate for the provincial archery team, so the school would naturally turn a blind eye if he occasionally missed a day or two of class to attend training.

But not long after they walked away, they heard the sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers coming from the streets in the distance.

It turned out that a couple was having a wedding.

"Have you heard? Lao Guo brought back a wife from the Northeast this time. Her name is Ma something."

"It's said to be quite nice. Now he can ride a horse every day. Let's go and have a look. I haven't seen it yet."

"You have to bring a gift of money if you go. Let's see after we get married."

"Just wrap it up, maybe you can even make trouble in the bridal chamber."
