In mid-August, the national team returned from the Barcelona expedition and received a warm welcome. The airport was packed with enthusiastic crowds.
In this expedition, although the number of medals of the national team did not rank among the top five, Wang Gang won three gold medals and one silver medal alone. It is still the most valuable track and field sprint event. He broke the world record three times and his results were extremely impressive.
Domestic and foreign media speak highly of Wang Gang and consider him the contemporary king of track and field.
After Wang Gang returned to China, he did not return to Jinling immediately. Instead, he went to the capital, where he was received by many leaders and interviewed by a large number of media. He was busy until the end of August before he had time to return home.
As soon as Wang came out of Jinling Airport, he saw Xiang Nanfang standing at the exit with a big belly.
Wang Gang threw away his luggage, and he rushed to Xiang Nannan like a gust of wind. The speed felt like it was faster on the playing field.
"Welcome back." Xiang Nannan touched his belly and smiled at Wang Gang.
Wang Gang gave Xiang Nannan a hug, then took out three gold medals from his pocket and placed them in her hands.
"This is my gift to you and the children, do you like it?"
Xiang Nanfang nodded happily and said: "The child likes it very much and is enjoying it in my belly!"
Wang Gang squatted down, put his ear against Xiang Nanfang's belly, and said, "Son, my dad is back. Say hello to me quickly."
"Look at how stupid you are." Xiang Nannan patted her husband on the head and said, "Get up quickly, brother and the others are nearby!"
Wang Gang stood up with a smile and saw Qiao Yicheng and Wen Juan next to him.
"Second Qiang, congratulations on becoming a father soon." Qiao Yicheng laughed.
Qiao Simei came over with a bouquet of flowers and said: "Second brother, look at the way you ran here just now, you are worthy of being a world champion."
Wang Gang took the flowers and said with a smile: "Why are you all here?"
Xiang Nanfang explained: "My dad arranged two cars to pick you up."
"Isn't that bad!" Wang Gang said worriedly, "It's too high-profile."
Qiao Yicheng smiled and said: "You don't know how popular you are in Aurous Hill. I guess if you go out like this, you will be blocked on the road before you get home."
As Jinling's world champion, Wang Gang has long been the pride of Jinling people.
"The old man is waiting at the hotel to pick you up, let's go quickly!" Qiao Yicheng said.
Several people left the airport together and came to the Jinling Hotel. In the private room, Xiang's father and Qiao Zuwang were sitting together and chatting happily.
Qiao Zuwang was extremely excited today, as if he had won an Olympic gold medal.
In fact, Qiao Zuwang was very dignified during this period. Anyone who saw him would be polite and compliment him, saying that he had given birth to a good son. The smoke from the Qiao family's ancestral graves was rising to the sky, almost turning into wolf smoke.
When Wang Gang arrived, he immediately became the focus of the audience, and many staff from Jinling Hotel came to him for autographs.
It's just that once the conversation started, it didn't end well. More and more people came around to ask for autographs. Wang Gang couldn't refuse, so he could only satisfy everyone.
When the crowd dispersed and Wang sat down to eat, it was already half past eight in the evening.
"I really can't come to restaurants to eat in the future. It's too tiring." Wang Gang's hand was numb when he signed the autograph. He really couldn't imagine how those big stars lived.
Xiang Nannan felt sorry for her husband and carefully rubbed his wrists and fingers.
"Second Qiang, you should eat at home from now on! You are too popular now." Father Xiang laughed loudly.
"The second strong man can only have dinner with us today. Starting tomorrow, he will be very busy. Many leaders want to meet the country's heroes." Xiang's mother joked.
"What a hero of the country! That's what outsiders call nonsense. The country has spared no effort to train me. I have achieved results and served the motherland. This is what I should do."
Xiang's father said with satisfaction: "You are right to think so. It is not easy for the country to cultivate a top athlete. Your ability to achieve good results is certainly your ability, but it is also inseparable from the country's cultivation.
Don’t let your redness fly away!”
Xiang Nanfang smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry! The top two still have some awareness."
Father Xiang nodded and said: "The country will not forget its heroes. When you come back this time, your title of major will also be changed. The sports team also wants you to take a job in the sports bureau."
Qiao Simei asked curiously: "Is the second brother going to be an official?"
Qiao Zuwang's eyes lit up. If his Qiao family had an official, it would be a great thing for the family.
"Simei, don't talk nonsense. You're not an official! I just have a sinecure and don't do anything. I'm just an athlete." Wang Gang said.
"An official who doesn't care about things is still an official, and he is different from ordinary people." Qiao Zuwang said happily.
Wang Gang's face darkened, and Qiao Yicheng's face turned ugly. They were all worried that Qiao Zuwang would use Wang Gang's reputation to show off his power outside.
With Father Xiang present, Wang Gang couldn't say anything, so he could only mention Qiao Zuwang later.
Everyone had a lively meal. The manager of Jinling Hotel originally wanted to waive the bill, but Wang Gang and Xiang Nanfang still paid the money.
They did not go home to live, but temporarily returned to Xiang's house.
After Xiang Nanfang became pregnant, she had been living in her parents' house for the convenience of taking care of her. The small bungalow where she originally lived was temporarily vacant, so Qiao Simei and Qiao Qiqi returned to live in Shamao Lane.
In the next few days, Wang Gang was so busy that he was dizzy. He couldn't handle dinner parties, interviews, and TV station activities one after another.
On the day Qiao Simei went to the capital to go to school, Wang Gang didn't have time to see her off, but fortunately Qiao Sanli would pick her up there.
In December, when Xiang Nanfang was due to give birth, Wang Gang canceled everything and sent his wife to the delivery room early.
Qiao Zuwang came to the hospital uninvited and was many times more active than when Wei Shufang gave birth to Qiao Qiqi.
Three hours later, the baby's cry was heard.
"Giving birth! Giving birth! My Qiao family has a baby." Qiao Zuwang jumped up happily when he heard the child's voice.
Wang Gang looked anxiously at the door of the delivery room, and soon a nurse came out holding the baby.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Qiao Zuwang rushed over faster than Wang Gang and asked the nurse.
"Boy, mother and child are safe. The mother will be out soon." The nurse knew the identities of Wang Gang and Xiang Nannan for a long time, so she naturally did not dare to neglect them.
"Haha, good, my Qiao family finally has an heir." Qiao Zu looked up to the sky and laughed. He had never been so happy after giving birth to a son.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Gang was calm and did not express his happiness too much.
Xiang Nanfang was quickly pushed out. She had a natural birth and could be discharged from the hospital after only one day of observation. However, Wang Gang asked her to stay for two more days to ensure that she was completely fine before being discharged.
Wang Gang has had many children, so taking care of his son is naturally a piece of cake.
After Xiang Nanfang gave birth, many people came to visit. Qiao Yicheng even rushed to the hospital as soon as he got off work.
He didn't come alone, he also brought a colleague with him, it was Xiang Nannan's hair boy Song Qingyuan.
Wang Gang met Song Qingyuan twice and had a meal. He had a good impression of him, but he did not introduce him to Qiao Simei.
Firstly, it was because Qiao Simei went to school at the Chinese Theater Academy and it was not convenient for her to fall in love.
The second reason is that Song Qingyuan has no intention of settling down. In his own words, he is a little bird without feet.
"Sister Xiang, your son looks good." Although Song Qingyuan doesn't want to get married, he is very interested in children.
"Don't they all say that newborn babies are wrinkled and ugly? Why is your son so white and rosy with a pink face? People who don't know better think he is a girl."
Song Qingyuan hugged the child and smiled happily.
"Don't you look at who gave birth to the son?" Xiang Nanfang said proudly: "The doctors all said that my son looks good."
"Has the child been named yet?" Qiao Yicheng took the child from Song Qingyuan's arms.
"My name is Qiao Tiancheng, from the second generation." Xiang Nanfang said with a smile.
Song Qingyuan was dissatisfied and said: "My brother-in-law's naming skills are not as good as his running skills! This name is quite ordinary and does not reflect the level of my parents!"
Qiao Yicheng teased the child and disagreed: "Qiao Tiancheng is a pretty good name. It's simple and easy to remember. It's better to keep the name simple."
"That's right." Song Qingyuan peeled a banana unceremoniously and said, "The names of your Xiang family and Qiao family are quite perfunctory! The Qiao family is all about numbers, and the Xiang family is all about directions."
"If you are not satisfied and give birth to one yourself, I would like to see what you name the child." Xiang Nanfang said angrily.
"I don't want to tie myself up by getting married so early. I haven't had enough fun yet." Song Qingyuan took a bite of banana and said with a crooked mouth.
Wang Gang shook his head, took the child from Qiao Yicheng's arms, and asked, "Brother, when are you and your sister-in-law planning to have a baby?"
Qiao Yicheng shook his head and said: "Your sister-in-law has just started working, and we have no plans to have children for the time being."
Wang Gang put the child down and said, "Are you and your sister-in-law okay?"
"It's very good!" Qiao Yicheng said: "Since Sister Ma came to the house as a nanny, your sister-in-law has become more sensible and agreed to have children.
I plan to wait until she has passed the internship period and then start preparing for pregnancy."
Wang Gang sneered in his heart, is Wen Ju'an sensible? He felt the pressure, so he was completely obedient to Qiao Yi.
"By the way, Er Qiang, I want to borrow some money from you?" Qiao Yicheng said.
