Chapter 329 Farewell
The training for the competition was naturally tough.

The physical hardship was manageable for the three children, but the hardship of the food and the frequent urine tests made them suffer terribly.

They have never experienced this kind of hardship before.

But from hesitating to leave at the beginning, to now being unable to leave.

Because they and their teammates trained day and night, investing all their resources, and with the big fish hanging in the air to win glory for the country, they were all holding their breath and training hard!

During the three years, Shi Xia and her three children were not always here.

They would return to the island several times a month, and Shi Xia felt that too much time was wasted on the road, so she went out and picked up a helicopter to bring it back.

Transportation has become much more convenient.

The children's studies did not fall behind. Shi Xia could not help much, but Shan Yuancheng, Fu Qiang, Leng Qiu and others helped a lot.

1984, Haisan Island.

The square was unusually crowded today; almost every household came.

"Village chief, are you done yet?!"

"Do you know how to do it? Let's call Yamamoto Seiji over."

"That's right, don't break it."

In the middle of the square, there is a tall table with a large color television set on it.

"Stop shouting, it'll be ready soon."

The television screen initially displayed static. Uncle Cao fiddled with the antenna behind the television, and after a few moments...

It made a sound!
"Someone's here! Someone's here!"

"We've finally found one we like, lest we can't see it anymore later."

The TV is working now. Tune in to the channel you need.

Watch the game!
"When will Shi Xia and the others go on stage?"

"It'll be soon. Today is the men's 100-meter swimming event, and both the eldest and second eldest are participating."

A group of people sat in front of the television, waiting for the game to begin.

At the same time, the television in the canteen on Haiming Island was also showing the same scene, with Wen Cheng'an and many soldiers present.

"The athletes are about to enter the field."

With this sentence, the athletes on TV appeared one by one. This match was the round of 16 to 8. The top two teams in the group stage would win medals in the final.

"Shi Anguo, the boss is over there!"

The eldest son, wearing a towel, appeared on the TV screen. He was a teenager, about 1.88 meters tall, and was giving the camera a goofy smile. He even seemed to call out "Dad."

Wen Chengan saw it, and the sense of pride he felt as a parent was overwhelming.

"The second son is out too!"

The second son, Wen Anjia, followed closely behind the eldest son.

He was a bit thinner, with the gentle and refined appearance of a young gentleman, and always had a warm and welcoming smile.

The game started.

The bell rang, and the water was plunged in.

Wen Cheng'an, who had been leaning back, sat up a little, and when he saw his boss taking the lead, he silently murmured, "Go for it!"

Then his gaze fell on the second son.

hurry up!

A few dozen seconds passed quickly. The eldest brother was the first to touch it, making him first in the group, followed closely by the second brother, who came in second in the group.

Wen Chengan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his back, and leaned back in his chair as if nothing had happened.

"That scared me to death! That foreigner was going about the same speed as the second guy."

"Fortunately, the second child overtook them later."

"Old Wen, aren't you nervous?!"

Wen Chengan smiled calmly.

"What's there to be nervous about?"

He turned away and wiped the sweat from his palms onto his pants.

On television, after the other groups finished their competitions, the eight finalists were determined.

For the next few days, the only topic of conversation in the unit was the competition.

The excitement peaked when the top two athletes won gold and silver medals, respectively.

Wen Cheng'an couldn't suppress his smile. The same was true on Hai San Island; they slaughtered pigs and sheep to celebrate.

A few days later, the diving competition began.

The third-place finisher also made it to the finals after overcoming numerous challenges. With outstanding performance and a score 40 points higher than the second-place finisher, he won first place.

Meanwhile, the eldest and second eldest sons won gold medals again in the swimming relay race.

At the same time, good news also came from other competitions.

Shi Xia kept her merits hidden; she simply saw that everyone looked tired from the competition and offered them a massage.

It has some effect, but probably not that significant.

After the swimming and diving competitions were over, Shi Xia returned with her team.

The diving and swimming teams have had a fantastic year.

Domestic newspapers and television stations kept reporting on it, making the children's names known to everyone.

At this time, Shi Xia, along with her three children, declined all celebratory activities and quietly returned home.

Although China didn't rank first in gold medals this time, it still made it into the top five.

Don't underestimate this achievement; it was obtained even though we didn't participate in many of the projects.

Six months later, the three children no longer needed to undergo any drug tests, and finally let loose and enjoyed a good meal.

They also all left the sports team.

The eldest son is going to join the army, the second son is going to study, and if I'm not mistaken, this guy is going into politics.

The third child doesn't have any specific plans yet, but he'll definitely go to university.

The children settled down to study, and Shi Xia returned to her usual leisurely lifestyle. As for the next competition, she didn't care anymore.

The coaches of the past were capable, and so will be in the future.

During the children's second year of high school, Cheng Qingmin returned, bringing his girlfriend Xu Danhong with him.

It was only then that everyone realized why he had chosen to study in Shanghai.

Both were rational in their relationship and chose to focus on their careers first. They got together when their careers were both stable.

They came back to try and get Old Man Xu's permission, and also to get married on Hai San Island.

Old Xu naturally agreed.

Xu Danhong is already in her thirties.

The wedding was simple yet sophisticated, with all the romance and everyone present.

Xu Danqing, that silly boy, cried his eyes out, grabbing Cheng Qingmin and calling him "teacher" and "brother-in-law," begging him to treat his sister well.

That's right, Cheng Qingmin was his teacher.

After their marriage, the couple did not stay long and returned to Haishi.

A doctor, a teacher.

Before they knew it, it was the children's senior year of high school. A year had passed quickly, and they were all about to take the college entrance examination.

Shi Xia took them to the exam.

The eldest son has passed the political review and physical examination. As long as his academic scores meet the minimum requirements, he can go to the National Defense University.

The second child's goal is Renmin University of China, while the third child wants to be closer to home and wants to study at a university in the south.

The three of them were separated for the exam, but fortunately they weren't far apart, and Shi Xia had a car, so it was convenient for her to take them there.

After several days of exams, the three children went out to play together, not worried about their grades at all.

Fortunately, they all got into their desired universities.

Shi Xia helped them collect their admission notices. After the children returned, they all went to Hai San Island to stay with their maternal grandfather.

Grandpa Shi is getting older and older.

In August, the eldest brother was the first to leave.

Then, at the end of August, Shi Xia personally went north to see off her second son.

When she gets back, she can drop off the third child, who starts school a little later.

After the three children left one after another, Shi Xia noticed for the first time that the house felt somewhat empty.

Wen Chengan hugged Shi Xia from behind.

"And I."

 Tomorrow is the finale, a combination of the epilogue and the ending. Thank you all for your continued support.
