Xiaoyu was furious: "You're talking nonsense!"
He Yuxiang launched into extreme sarcasm: "I'm talking nonsense? You don't even take care of your own body, and you still make us worry. You're such an amazing athlete, you're so incredible, you're simply too great, I really admire you."
Xiaoyu's face turned red with anger, and her fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "Do you believe I'll beat you up?!"
He Yuxiang: "Go ahead and hit me. When you compete later, I'll report you for assaulting your own brother!"
Xiaoyu angrily complained to her aunt: "Auntie, he bullies me as soon as he gets home!"
Chen Qing silently turned her head away.
The children are arguing.
She didn't get involved.
He Yuxiang: "If you expect her to help you now, you'll be happy when she worries about you and cries every day, ruining her health."
Xiaoyu froze, tears welling up in her eyes: "I...I didn't mean that. I'll take good care of myself."
"You've got a head start. Starting tomorrow, you're not allowed to go to training."
"Impossible!" Xiaoyu wiped away her tears. "I will take good care of my body and take my medicine obediently, and I will shorten my training time, but I can't not go!"
Xiaoyu went back to her room in anger.
Chen Qing spread his hands towards He Yuxiang: "Xiao Yu is stubborn, the kind of person who won't turn back even if she hits a wall. We can't force her, we can only soften her."
"Kids are so annoying!!!" He Yuxiang cursed angrily, "I'm clearly doing this for her own good, but she won't listen. Who will be responsible if something happens? We'll be the ones who have to worry about it!"
Chen Qing: "That makes sense, but from Xiaoyu's perspective, she has already compromised a lot. She is only thirteen years old. It is already amazing that she can handle unexpected life shocks without panicking."
"What about her health?!" He Yuxiang felt that all the messy things that happened abroad were nothing compared to the annoyance of disciplining his sister.
Chen Qing comforted him, saying, "Take good care of her as much as possible. She can study at university for four years, and then the Olympics will be held. She will most likely be able to participate, but we can't say for sure how well she will do. If she loses, we can persuade her to give up the sport. If she succeeds, then she will have fulfilled her dream and can try new things. Xiaoyu is already thirteen years old. She is already a person with independent thoughts and personality. We can't force her."
Seeing his aunt's calm expression, He Yuxiang felt a little relieved, but also felt deeply exhausted: "Raising a child is really tiring."
Xiaoyu is already very well-behaved.
But it can still be very annoying when it gets bothersome.
Seeing that his aunt seemed to need to be comforted, He Yuxiang couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He paused for a moment and said, "I'll go apologize to Xiaoyu."
Chen Qing chuckled: "Okay."
Xiao Yu took a shower, put on a loose green and white color-blocked vest, and let her hair down. When she heard her brother push the door open, she immediately buried her face in her arms and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing in here?"
He Yuxiang stood at the door, his Adam's apple bobbing for a long time before he finally managed to squeeze out, "...I got you some milk."
His tone was as cold and hard as ever as he strode forward and placed it on her bedside table.
Noticing her approach, Xiaoyu's face, buried in her arms, stirred, revealing half of her reddened eye with tears still clinging to her eyelashes. She deliberately said, "I won't drink!"
His voice was cold and hard, but there was a sobbing tone at the end.
Like a little hedgehog with its feathers bristling, but its sharp spines are actually incredibly soft.
Seeing that her eyes were red, He Yuxiang blurted out the words he had been hesitating to say: "I was too harsh with my tone just now."
As soon as he spoke, He Yuxiang awkwardly turned his face away, pretending to look out the window.
Xiao Yu glared at him: "You insulted my favorite subject, archery, and you even accused me of harming my aunt."
He Yuxiang sat down next to her and sighed, "It's not easy for her to take care of the four of us by herself. If you really ruin your health, everyone will blame her."
Xiao Yu was shocked.
A deep sense of guilt immediately welled up in my heart.
Am I being too insensible?
"It's good that you know what's going on. You should also be aware of your aunt's work situation, but she has already been very tolerant of us."
He Yuxiang has harbored some resentment towards his uncle over the years.
He and his sister are their aunt's responsibility.
Pingping and Youyou are also the responsibility of their aunt.
The huge garment factory was still my aunt's responsibility.
She's only in her twenties, and if she wants to do everything well, she needs to put in more effort than the average person.
Sometimes he feels he's being too aggressive in his business dealings, and other times he's afraid he's going too slow.
The brother and sister sat side by side. Xiao Yu's shoulders trembled slightly as she cried. "I don't know what to do. I have no experience in international competitions. The reason I avoided participating in the 1980 Olympics was because I was afraid of taking up a spot from my seniors. So I planned to prepare well in the next few years to participate in international competitions, so that I would be more confident when I finally participate in the Olympics. But I have been training for many, many years. If I give up, I don't know what I have been doing all these years."
She really trains hard. The reason she wants to compete in international competitions is to win glory for the country and to give herself an explanation for her hard work over the years.
Seeing her sobbing, He Yuxiang patted her back and said, "Your aunt isn't blaming you."
"But I'm afraid my aunt will worry. You have no idea, when our results came out the other day, my sister Xiaohe said that my aunt was being bullied when she went out. Foreigners bullied her, and people from our own country bullied her. I'm still too young to understand..."
Xiaoyu covered her face and broke down in tears, feeling like a bad child who had wasted her aunt's years of raising her.
He Yuxiang: "It shouldn't be that serious. She holds grudges."
If an aunt doesn't retaliate when she's been bullied, it often proves she has a backup plan.
My aunt has held the factory director position for many years; she's not some pushover who can be bullied.
"Should I still practice archery?" For the first time, Xiaoyu felt doubt about her career, and tears welled up in her eyes.
He Yuxiang felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart.
His goal was for Xiaoyu to give up archery, but when Xiaoyu actually said she wanted to give it up, he felt sorry for her years of tireless efforts.
"I'll go with you to the capital to see a doctor and try my best to get some exercise. If it really doesn't work, we'll make other plans."
"……good."
The final result will be discussed after we arrive in the capital.
He Yuxiang didn't dare to think about this question and went back to his room to sleep. He got up in the middle of the night to brew medicine for Xiaoyu and put some fruit candies he had bought abroad next to the medicine pot.
When Xiaoyu woke up, she saw the shiny fruit candies. Her eyes lit up, and she put the candies in her pocket. After taking her medicine, she ate candies on her way to training, and her legs were twitching happily on the bus.
He Yuxiang hadn't adjusted to the time difference and woke up very early. When he saw Pingping secretly turn on the TV, he grabbed her by the back of her collar and took her to the backyard to feed the chickens: "Let's get to work."
After the reform and opening up, my family raised a total of five chickens: one rooster and four hens.
Comrade Pingping sighed and went to get some feed for the chickens. "Cluck cluck cluck... Come and eat quickly!" (End of Chapter)
