At the end of the competition, Shitou was indeed the first place, and his heart finally settled down.

His eyes sparkled with unconcealable excitement and pride.

The award ceremony began, and the organizing committee members carefully carried the heavy trophy and gold medal, ready to crown the champion.

Jiang Lei walked up the stairs slowly, each step appearing steady and firm, and stood on the highest podium.

When the medal was hung around his neck, his chest gently bumped against it, and at that moment, time seemed to freeze.

After ten years, he finally stood at the doorstep of the World Championship.

He held the medal high, saluted the audience, and then saluted He Jianjun in the distance, with tears in his eyes.

His smile was so bright and genuine that it seemed to light up the entire stadium.

The person who presented the award was the deputy coach of the national gymnastics team, who was also He Jianjun's junior fellow student, and his surname was Xing.

He Jianjun had many more white hairs on his head, and he was crying. He looked at the child he had raised standing at the highest point with satisfaction, shining like a star. He felt very at ease and could sleep well today.

After presenting the awards, Coach Xing came down and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, you are amazing. The children you trained are all excellent. Why don't you stop hanging around in that village and come to the city to help me train the kids?"

He Jianjun still refused, "Oh, I'm used to living in the village. If I leave, what will happen to the children in the countryside? They still need teachers to teach them."

Coach Xing understood him very well. He sighed, exchanged a few polite words with him and said nothing else.

Wen Jing planned to hold a celebration banquet for Shitou and generously invited everyone to have a meal at the Grand Court Hotel.

This restaurant is the most luxurious and expensive restaurant in Yongchang City.

Xiong Moli was excited, "Great! Can we order food?!"

Wen Jing had a proud expression on her face, "Order! Any order! I made a fortune these days, I can buy any one of them."

Xiong Moli was very happy, "I want to eat boiled cabbage! I recommend this dish to you!"

"Giant! Delicious!"

An An's eyes lit up when she heard that it was delicious, and she quickly held Wen Jing's little finger and shook it, "Auntie, I want to eat cabbage~"

"Good~"

Shitou thought the cabbage was quite cheap, but when he got off the car and saw the entrance of the Grand Court Hotel, he was stunned.

The magnificent golden door towered there, like a giant shining with golden light standing there, which frightened him so much that he dared not go in.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Xu Ye asked, "What's wrong with you?"

His voice made Wen Jing, who was walking in front, look back with a puzzled look on her face.

Shitou rubbed the seams of his pants with his fingers and stammered, "Sister...I'm here to eat cabbage...Why are you here? Have you come to the right place?"

Wen Juan could see that he was frightened, "It's right here."

Shitou's throat moved, his lips moved, and after a while he finally came up with a reasonable excuse, "Sister... this is just a provincial competition, and I am only eligible to join the national team. I have no idea what the future will be like. It won't be too late to lavish myself after I win the world-class championship."

The implication is that this place is too expensive and we should eat somewhere else.

What's more important is that he doesn't appreciate the kindness.

Wen Jing knew exactly what he was worried about and was glad that he was neither arrogant nor impatient.

"It's a good idea, but today is your first time standing at the door of the world of exploration. You don't know much about the unknown world. For example, today you saw the door of this big hotel and didn't dare to go in. If you go to a more luxurious and grand place tomorrow, wouldn't you be scared to death?"

"Today I just want to take you out to see the world, so that you can feel more confident and avoid being timid in front of others and affecting your mentality."

He Jianjun also thought so. After all, those children who could enter the national team were the elite among the elites, and they were all very proud.

Many of them have been to the World Championships and have won many championships. They have seen everything in the world. There will definitely be some people with bad character who bully the newcomers, using their knowledge to suppress others and seek a sense of existence, which can easily affect their mentality.

"Don't be so arrogant. Your sister is very happy today. It's her kindness. When you win the world championship and become successful and earn some prize money, why don't you treat your sister to a meal here?"

Shitou recalled the first time he came to Yongchang City. The feeling of inferiority and awkwardness he felt was exactly the same as it is now, and it really affected his mentality.

He knows very well how important mentality is in sports competition.

It was rare that his sister was happy today, so he couldn't spoil her mood. His eyes sparkled, "Thank you, sister."

"Hey, we are a family, so why bother being polite? Come on, let's go in and order some food. We're going to have a delicious meal~" Wen Jing pulled An An and slowly walked towards the magnificent door.

An An ran with his short legs, the shuttlecock on his head swaying, "Great~ I want to eat delicious cabbage~"

"Hey, slow down, slow down, don't trip." He Jianjun limped behind and protected the child with a smile on his face, afraid that the child would fall.

He liked this child very much. Having raised so many little brats, this was the first time he saw such a cute little girl. His heart was melted.

Shitou mustered up his courage and walked over to Xiong Moli. "Moli, tell me what that boiled cabbage is. I guess it's not ordinary cabbage, right?"

This really opened up Xiong Moli's mouth, "You've asked the right person. The boiled cabbage looks ordinary, but it's actually very special. Let me tell you, the preparation of this dish is very complicated. The soup is made with..." She kept chattering.

Shitou was fascinated by what he heard.

Xu Ye saw what he was thinking, smiled and said nothing.

There was a hint of envy in his eyes.

How nice it would be if my sister could respond to him like this...

Wen Jing booked a private room, and the meal was carried out with Xiong Moli's chattering. She really knew every dish by heart, explaining how to make it and how to eat it. Even the waiter was affirming that she was really good and that everything she said was right.

Shitou gained a lot of knowledge. Now he no longer felt as awkward as he did at the beginning, and he could even offer a few comments.

With someone serving as the supporting actor, Xiong Moli became even happier. She told a lot of jokes, making everyone laugh and was an expert at livening up the atmosphere.

Waiting for the legendary boiled cabbage to be served.

There really was a yellow and white vegetable heart shaped like a half-opened lotus flower placed in the middle of the plate, and the waiter brought a soup pot and poured boiling water on it.

The lotus flowers are blooming, and this dish is ready.

Xiong Moli was very friendly and scooped a small bowl of soup and a piece of cabbage for each person, "Come on, try it."

After everyone took the first sip, they realized that although the dish looked ordinary, it tasted really extraordinary.

This soup is so delicious that you can't help but swallow your tongue.

Seeing that they were enjoying the meal, Xiong Moli was also happy. "If I say it's delicious, it really is delicious. My dad has been obsessed with this dish for a long time, but it's not as good as the one made by the chef in this restaurant, so he gave up later. My dad would pack a bowl to eat when he has nothing to do."

After hearing these words, Shitou became even more determined to climb up.

I was in a good mood today, so Wenjing drank a few more glasses of rice wine. I felt a little urinary urge, so I went to the bathroom.

As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I saw a man and a woman kissing next to the toilet.

Wen Jing took a quick look and then looked away, sighing in her heart that people are so open-minded these days.

After taking two steps she realized something was wrong.

Why does that guy look so familiar?
