Chapter 186: Being Hung at the School Gate
After a busy Saturday and Sunday, it is finally time for a relaxing Monday.
Fang Wei didn’t know if this was the right way to describe the weekend, but he really felt like he was being drained dry after the weekend!
On the contrary, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi were both in high spirits.
The cat, who had not returned home all night, had just come back from outside. He lightly jumped onto the top of the wall, yawned, stretched, put his little paws in his arms, lay down lazily, and looked down at the girl who was waiting at the gate of the yard on a bicycle.
"Hurry up! You've been squatting in the toilet for so long!"
"I'm coming……"
Fang Wei came out of the bathroom, washed his hands, put on his schoolbag, and rode his bicycle out of the house.
Seeing that he looked tired, Xu Cailing asked curiously:
"Have you been played badly by Zhiyi?"
"…What are you talking about! You have contributed to this, too, okay?"
"Then we are not tired, why are you the only one who is tired?"
"I just want to ask you, who has been riding the bike these past two days? My thighs are sore! Next time, you all should ride your own bikes!"
"Humph~"
Xu Cailing shook her head, looking nonchalant.
Come to think of it, riding a bike and taking the two girls around the small county town twice for two consecutive days really squeezed Fang Wei to the bone.
The more Fang Wei thought about it, the angrier he got. He simply kicked the bicycle kickstand, left the bike in the yard, walked out, closed the door, and then sat down on the back seat of Xu Cailing's bike. He put his big, warm hands around the girl's slender waist.
"ah……!"
Xu Cailing's body tensed up instantly, and she became coy as a little stinky maggot. She clapped his hands again and again with a shy and smiling face.
"What are you doing?! Itchy...!"
"I can't ride anymore, so you can give me a ride today."
"I don't want it, get out of the car...!"
"You haven't washed a single piece of clothing, and you won't even give me a ride on your bike. Xu Cailing, you've taken advantage of me, haven't you?"
"You, you won't take Zhiyi's car?"
"Don't worry, she can't run away."
"..."
Hearing that Fang Wei was really planning to take Zhiyi's car, Xu Cailing didn't chase him out of the car. But she still couldn't stand the itchiness when his hands were around her waist, so she had to pry his fingers open to prevent him from hugging her waist.
It was obvious that when she was carrying Zhiyi on weekdays, she didn't feel itchy when Zhiyi hugged her waist. Why did she feel so itchy when Fang Wei hugged her waist?
Could it be because his hands were too hot? It felt as if a trace of heat penetrated into the skin around her waist, making her feel numb and itchy, and her whole body was numb...
I wasn’t like this when I was a child. Why am I getting more ticklish as I get older?
Fang Wei naughtily tickled her little spots again, making the girl giggle, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Only then did he calm down and put his hands on the frame of the car like he did before when he rode in her car.
"Hurry up, go!"
"go away."
"Drive~!"
Xu Cailing reached out and pinched his thigh hard, causing him to grimace in pain, and then she began to ride leisurely with him.
I went to Ah Sheng's house to pick him up first. When he saw the two of them, Ah Sheng was stunned:
"Awei, your car broke down?"
"The car is not broken, my leg is broken."
"He has a bad heart!" Xu Cailing added.
"what?"
Ah Sheng was confused. Why were they talking about things he couldn't understand? !
When he saw the three people, Liu Zhiyi was also stunned:
"Fang Wei, you're not riding your bike today?"
"No, I'm here to collect my debt. Cai Ling gave me a ride today, but you can't run away tomorrow."
"...!!"
……
The four of them came to the school. When they arrived at the school gate, Fang Wei, who had been staying in Xu Cailing's car, finally jumped out.
When I looked up at the school gate, in addition to the original banner thanking Jinhua Company, there were two more banners.
The banner thanking Jinhua Company for repairing the track and field stadium was hung at the top and most conspicuous position, with red background and gold letters.
Below this banner, there is also gold lettering on a red background, which reads:
"Warm congratulations to Xu Cailing from Class 2, Grade 9 of our school for breaking the women's record in both the 100m and 200m events in the county middle school track and field trials! She won the double championship!"
The last banner, also with red background and gold lettering, reads:
"Warm congratulations to Fang Wei from Class 2, Grade 9 of our school for winning the runner-up in the men's 200m and third place in the men's 100m in the county middle school track and field trials!"
Three large red banners lined up together, making the shabby school gate look festive.
Almost every student who comes to school will look up to see this honorific recognition.
Not only students, but almost every town resident passing by the gate of Baitan Middle School on this street will turn around to look at the commendation hanging on the school gate.
"Hey, whose daughter is Xu Cailing? So amazing? And she even broke the county record?"
"I have some impression of her. She seems to be the daughter of A Yuan, who used to run a salted fish processing workshop. I heard him say before that his little daughter was good at sports..."
"Will there be an athlete on our island in the future?"
"If this makes a name for itself, it will be a great honor!"
Baitan Town is not big, and the network of relationships is simple, so there is always someone who can recognize whose daughter "Xu Cailing" is.
As the center of life, shopping and transportation for the nearby islands, the banner of Baitan Middle School is no different from advertising it to the whole town. Even if Xu Zhiyuan doesn't come to the town for the next two days, within half a day, a fellow villager who just came back from the town will tell him: "Ayuan! Your Cailing is amazing! She broke the county middle school track and field record, and it's all posted at the school gate!"
With the successful bid for the Olympics last year, people's attitude towards sports has changed a lot. This is also a very promising direction of development! If I have the opportunity to represent my country on the Olympic stage, it would be a great honor for my ancestors!
"Cai Ling! Awei! Awesome!!"
Ah Sheng was stunned. When he saw the names of his two best friends hung on the board at the school gate, even he felt proud!
"Cai Ling!! Fang Wei!! You guys are so awesome!!"
Liu Zhiyi was also shocked. Being on the honor roll was an honor that many students could strive for, but having their names printed on a banner and hung at the school gate was an honor that only very few students could obtain! "Hahaha... it's not that great... haha!"
Xu Cailing spoke modestly, but her proud expression was not modest at all. Her little face looked a little red, and it was unclear whether she was shy or excited. She stood straight, raised her head, and read the words on the two banners over and over again.
She had previously asked Teacher Niu if it was possible for the school to hang a banner for her, but she didn’t expect that it would actually be hung!
Fang Wei also knew why Teacher Niu came to the school yesterday morning. He probably wanted the school leaders to make the banner.
For the little-known Baitan Middle School, being able to achieve such results in the county is already worthy of publicity, not to mention that Jinhua Company just happened to invest in the renovation of the track and field stadium. Isn't this a good match? This combination of punches not only showed the school's track and field achievements to Jinhua Company, but also commended Cai Ling and Fang Wei for winning glory for the school.
Although it was not a big achievement, for the other party, this was the first time he received such a grand commendation and he was quite excited.
Not to mention Xu Cailing, she even began to imagine what her parents would say to her when she got home from school tonight!
Hee, it just so happens that they are coming to town today. They will definitely be surprised to see her name at the school gate!
"See! My name is above yours!" Xu Cailing patted Fang Wei.
Fang Wei was both angry and amused: "I see, I see, our Cai Ling is the best!"
"Hahaha……"
After looking at the school gate for a long time, Xu Cailing reluctantly pushed her bicycle into the school. If she hadn't had to go to class, she would have moved a small stool and sat outside for the whole day like Grandpa Li.
Come to the classroom.
The class was equally lively. Cai Ling and Fang Wei were both popular, and their names were hung at the school gate. They were always curious, surprised, and teased by their classmates.
In the past, we always felt that such outstanding people were far away from us, but now they appear next to us, and everyone feels quite novel.
"Cai Ling! Please sign your name for me! If you really become a sports star in the future, your autograph will definitely be very valuable!"
"Hahaha, that's too exaggerated..."
"I'm telling the truth! If you become famous in the future, when people ask me about it, I can still say that I was a classmate of Xu Cailing and I have her autograph!"
"Oh, I'm embarrassed by what you said..."
Liu Zhiyi also found it interesting. It was rare to see Cai Ling blushing when being praised!
It's just that her personality is different from Cailing. Liu Zhiyi prefers to feel happy secretly. Otherwise, she is Nanfeng, the well-known author of "Mengya". If this matter is exposed, the attention and admiration she receives will be no less than Cailing.
Even the school praised Cai Ling and Fang Wei so much, so naturally Wen Susu’s praise was also indispensable.
Before the morning reading class, Wen Susu walked into the classroom and stood on the podium, smiling and looking very happy. After all, Fang Wei and Cai Ling, who were hung on the banner at the school gate, were both students in her Class 2!
"Everyone has seen the commendation on the school gate, right?"
"I see! Cai Ling! And the squad leader!"
"Yes, our classmates Fang Wei and Cai Ling achieved excellent results in the county track and field trials and successfully advanced to the city finals. Let us congratulate them with warm applause! Support them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the class applauded enthusiastically.
"Fang Wei, Cai Ling, keep up the good work! Strive to bring back higher honors for our class and our school!"
There was another burst of warm applause.
After talking about Fang Wei and Cai Ling, the other students couldn't help but ask about Wen Susu's track and field career out of curiosity.
"Teacher Wen, what does Jinhua Company do? Why did they pay to build a track and field stadium for our school?"
"Yeah, I didn't believe it when the principal mentioned it in the meeting. I didn't expect it to be so successful!"
"Ahhh, we're almost graduating! We haven't enjoyed any happiness at all!"
"……Forehead."
Wen Susu was a little embarrassed and said quickly, "There is still more than half a year left. We can use it soon if it is repaired."
She actually wanted to do it from the beginning, but her parents definitely wouldn't agree at that time.
"As for Jinhua Company...it's just a hotel company."
"Ah? How can a hotel give money to our school?"
"…This is called contributing to education! You should do the same in the future. If you make money, remember to contribute more to society!"
"Of course! If I had 100 million, I would donate 90 million!"
"I donated all 100 million!"
"You better be!"
Looking at Wen Susu hiding on the podium, Fang Wei also found it funny. Perhaps many students in the class would never have thought that Jinhua Company was Teacher Wen's...
No matter what, such a wealthy group is still too far away from my life. After talking about Jinhua Company for a while, my classmates asked about something they were concerned about:
"Then Mr. Wen, the athletic field is still under renovation. Do we still have to go downstairs to do morning exercises?"
"Don't go downstairs to do morning exercises for now. Wait until the track and field stadium is renovated. It should be ready in less than a month."
"So fast!"
It must be fast, she urged Lin Xiao to supervise every day! Make sure every penny of the money is spent!
"Haha! But that's good too. At least I don't have to do morning exercises for a month!"
Everyone was excited when they heard this. Doing exercises is a tiresome thing. If they don’t have to do morning exercises, doesn’t that mean they will have an extra half hour of free time every day?
"hehe."
Wen Susu sneered, "Don't be happy too soon! You are already in the third year of junior high school, and the high school entrance exam is coming soon. Why are you still playing? The school said that the same applies to the first and second years of junior high school. Starting today, the morning reading class will be extended by an extra 20 minutes until the track and field stadium is renovated!"
"Ow~~~"
"So, is physical education class still going to take place?"
"Of course you have to go. You also have physical education exams. The daily training location will be arranged by your teacher Niu."
It’s okay, at least the physical education class was not taken up and turned into a self-study class, and the boys and girls were relieved.
"Also, today is October 14th, and the date for our midterm exams has been set. We'll have the exams on the last two days of the month, just like in previous years. After the exams, there will be a parents' meeting next week!"
"Every exam in the third year of junior high school is very important. It is a precious opportunity for everyone to find out what they have missed and make up for their shortcomings. We have kept the red flag of the model class for two years. Do you have the confidence to keep this red flag until we graduate?"
"Have!!"
The voice was loud and clear, and the sound of reading aloud was heard.
