Chapter 188 Competition? This is an autumn outing!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is Saturday, October 26th.
Today is the day when Fang Wei and Xu Cailing will participate in the finals of the Xuanzhu City Middle School Track and Field Championships.
In order to ensure she was in good condition today, Xu Cailing went to bed early last night and got up early today as well.
Just after finishing breakfast, he was busy urging Xu Zhiyuan and Deng Xijuan: "Dad, Mom, hurry up! If you dawdle, you'll be late!"
"It's still early, why don't you at least change your clothes?"
I really didn't support my daughter's involvement in sports before, but I didn't expect that she would actually become famous.
The last time Cailing participated in the county trials, she won two championships and broke the county record for middle school students. Xu Zhiyuan and Deng Xijuan were so shocked that their daughter's name is still hanging on the gate of Baitan Middle School. These days, there are many familiar friends and relatives who praise Cailing for being so great and bringing honor to the school!
This time Cai Ling is going to the city to participate in the finals. When her parents heard that they could go to the scene to watch the game, they stopped what they were doing and went to the scene today to support her.
Their daughter has brought them honor, so they naturally don't want to embarrass her. They are now busy worrying about what to wear and dressing up as if they are going to attend their daughter's wedding.
"Oh, you guys are so slow, I won't wait for you, I'll go over first!"
"Would you like to come with us on the motorcycle?"
"I'll ride over there! Hurry up!"
After saying that, Xu Cailing took her spiked shoes and thin jacket and ran away.
He didn't run far, he just turned a corner and arrived at Fang Wei's house.
"Has Fang packed it for you?"
"OK OK."
Fang Wei came out with his schoolbag and turned around. Xu Cailing unzipped his schoolbag and stuffed her spiked shoes in the bag into his schoolbag. Then she zipped it up and patted the bag with her little hands, looking very satisfied.
"Are your dad and the others going?" Cai Ling asked curiously.
"My dad is going."
"Has Uncle Fang set out yet?"
"I'm changing clothes. Let's go now without waiting for him."
"Uh-huh!"
It was best if there were no elders to accompany them! The two of them rode their bicycles out together and went to Shayang Village to pick up Liu Zhiyi.
Originally, Asheng was going to cheer them on, but unfortunately, the basketball team's teacher, Mr. Chen, had to take them to a basketball game in town today. As the absolute main force of the school basketball team, Asheng couldn't leave.
When they arrived at Liu Zhiyi's house, the girl had already packed her things and was waiting for them on her bicycle.
Because it was far from the city and they had to set off earlier than before, Fang Wei and she did not go running this morning, and she did not go running by herself either.
Seeing Fang Wei and Cai Ling coming over, she took the envelope in her hand, and followed Cai Ling's example, unzipping his schoolbag and putting the envelope into it.
"what is this?"
Xu Cailing blinked and asked in a low voice, "Zhiyi, did you write Fang Wei a love letter?"
“No, that’s not it!”
Liu Zhiyi's face was embarrassed, and she explained, "It's a manuscript... I'll just take it and mail it when I go to town later."
"Ah?! Zhiyi, you have created something new! What's your name?"
"Chasing Summer"
"Hmm...what is it about?"
"This time it's a novel..."
"Novel! Zhiyi, you started writing a novel!"
"Yeah, let's try it first."
Chasing Summer is her first youth novel, which she started writing very early. She even showed the beginning to Fang Wei last month.
At that time, she had already written tens of thousands of words, but she didn't have the confidence to submit it. She revised it for almost a month and only decided today to submit the 30,000-word beginning. If it is accepted, she will officially become a serial novelist with her own column in Mengya!
"Wow! Zhiyi, you've really become a great writer! You've even started serializing novels!"
"It hasn't been approved yet..."
"I think your manuscript will definitely be accepted! You don't even know that Pei Pei really likes your articles. If she could see your novel, she would be so excited!"
"Ah? Can Pepe, who is so emotionally stable, get excited?"
"It's confirmed! Pepe just didn't show it obviously."
"Cai Ling, you are so considerate."
"After all, Pepe and I have been sitting at the same table for so long."
While the three were chatting, Uncle Liu from the room also came out with a smile.
"Uncle!"
"Fang Wei, Cai Ling, work hard and try to win another championship! The day before yesterday, my uncle saw your school's banner when he went to town! It's incredible!"
"hey-hey……"
"Uncle, shall we go first?"
"Okay, go ahead, don't waste time."
The three of them rode their bicycles together, talking and laughing.
The sunlight that had just risen fell on his body and felt warm. Fang Wei looked up at the empty and high sky. It would be another good day today.
When we arrived in town, we went to the post office to help Liu Zhiyi send the manuscript out.
After all, she is now an author with a certain degree of fame in a small circle. She no longer has to wait anxiously for the submission results as she did in the beginning. Before writing this book, Editor Baiyun had a phone call with Liu Zhiyi and gave her some guidance. Editor Baiyun is quite looking forward to her first novel.
Precisely because this is his first novel, Liu Zhiyi felt the nervousness of submitting a manuscript for the first time for the first time in a long time.
She was very ceremonial. She closed the envelope in her palms and prayed, then held the envelope with both hands and solemnly stuffed it into the gap of the mailbox.
After finishing this, the three of them rode their bikes to school together.
After more than ten days of construction, the renovation of the track and field stadium has almost completed its work. We can now see the outline of the new track and field stadium. It is estimated that it will be officially completed in about a week.
This time they went to the city to participate in the finals, and it was still Teacher Niu who took them there, but surprisingly there was one more person.
"Sister? Are you going too?"
Fang Wei blinked his eyes. He had never heard Wen Susu say that she was going before. Was this a surprise?
"Hehe! I just happen to be free today, and two students from my class have made it to the finals, so I have to go and cheer them on, right?"
Because she was going to the sports stadium to watch the game and cheer, Wen Susu, who was dressed adaptively, did not wear a skirt today. Instead, she changed into a refreshing and neat sports suit. Her camera was hung around her neck, and she wore a baseball cap. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down from the bottom of her hat. As she walked and turned her head, her soft hair swayed.
"Sis is here to watch in person, so our fighting power today will be at its maximum!" "I've also prepared props, a professional cheerleading team~! Haha!"
Wen Susu unzipped her one-shoulder designer bag and took out not lipstick nor eyebrow pencil, but two small flags she had made herself. The style was a scaled-down version of the flag that Class Two had used in the school sports meet. She gently shook the small flags, and the bright orange color was particularly eye-catching.
"Oh~! Teacher Wen is so professional!!"
Cailing and Zhiyi were attracted at once, especially Zhiyi. She felt a little annoyed as to why she hadn’t thought of preparing some props before!
"Everyone, come on, cheer for me!"
"must!"
"If you run well, I'll treat you to a feast!"
"it is good!!!"
Teacher Niu on the side looked at the time.
"Have you brought all your things?"
"Bring it all together."
"The competition schedule is quite tight. The 100-meter preliminaries start at 10 o'clock, the 200-meter preliminaries start at 10:30, the 100-meter finals are at 11:30, and the 200-meter finals are at 12 o'clock. It's almost time now. Go over early to get familiar with the stadium and warm up. Have you all had breakfast?"
"have eaten!"
"Okay, let's hurry up and leave... By the way, where are your parents?"
"Don't worry about them! I told them the time! We can just go first!"
"OK then."
As he spoke, Teacher Niu sat on the motorcycle, started the engine, looked at the boys and girls who had come on their bicycles, and then looked at Wen Susu who had brought nothing with her except the cheerleading flag.
"Then Teacher Wen, you..."
"Ah? Why are you all riding your bikes there?"
Wen Susu was stunned for a moment, looked at Teacher Niu's motorcycle, then looked at the bicycles of the three boys and girls, then walked over and sat down on the back seat of Fang Wei's bicycle.
"Then I'll just ride Fang Wei's bike!"
Fang Wei: “…”
No, I was born to be a driver?
"Then sit tight, sister."
"lets go!"
The Baitan team then set out on their bikes to the pier to catch the boat.
If he hadn't been sure that they were going to participate in a competition today, Fang Wei would have thought that everyone was going on an autumn outing!
Apart from Teacher Niu, does anyone seem to have any sense of urgency?
Teacher Niu was riding a motorcycle in the front, the two girls Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi were riding bicycles side by side in the middle, and Fang Wei was riding Wen Susu at the end.
Wen Susu was the most relaxed and carefree, looking like she was out for fun. In order to make her sit more comfortably, Fang Wei rode very steadily and the schoolbag that was originally on his back was hung in front of him.
"What a nice weather today! Fang Wei, have you been to the city?"
"Of course I have been there. Didn't I go there with my uncle and aunt last time?"
"Yes, I stayed there for one night and returned to Shanghai the next day."
“How was the location of the hotel considered?”
"Well, it seems to have been determined, but I'm not sure."
"..."
You really don't care about your family business at all!
Compared to those, the scenery along the way obviously interested Wen Susu more. She sat on the back of the bicycle, raised the camera hanging around her neck, and found a perfect angle -
On one side of the picture, half of Fang Wei's shoulder and profile are revealed, and in the front are two girls riding side by side. In the front is Teacher Niu riding a motorcycle. The brilliant sea and sky and the morning light fill the field of vision. Not far away is the pier, and seagulls are flying in the sky...
There is no doubt that she will collect this photo in the album "Impression of Baitan".
Wen Susu even thought of a caption for this photo: Let’s go to the Xuanzhu Middle School Track and Field Finals! 2002/10/26
After arriving at Baitan Wharf and buying tickets, the Baitan team successfully boarded the transport ship to Xuanzhu City.
"Seven o'clock, if we arrive at No. 1 Middle School, it will be around nine o'clock. The journey is a bit far, do you want to take a rest first?"
Teacher Niu asked, but after asking he felt that his question was a bit redundant. The four teachers and students from Class 2 were having a great time taking pictures on the deck!
"Fang Wei, stand in the middle! Right... face me! Look at the camera, have a natural expression, and move naturally! Good!"
With a click, Wen Susu took a group photo of Fang Wei and the other two.
In the photo, Fang Wei is standing in the middle, Liu Zhiyi and Xu Cailing are standing on both sides of him respectively, the three of them are leaning against the guardrail, with the vast blue sky and sea behind them. The young man is smiling refreshingly, the sea breeze is blowing the hair of the two girls, their smiles are pure and bright, the sun is falling on them, they look as youthful as possible.
"Teacher Wen! Take a solo photo for me!"
"can."
"Teacher Wen, take a picture of me and Zhiyi together!"
"can."
"Teacher Wen, take a picture of Fang Wei and me too!"
"can."
Wen Susu is not a math teacher, but now she knows how many permutations and combinations there are for three people...
Fortunately, she brought a lot of film and kept shooting.
"Teacher Wen, why don't you take one yourself?"
“I’m a photographer.”
"I'll do it. You go take the photo with Cai Ling and the others!"
Fang Wei has now learned a little about photography. He often plays with Wen Susu's camera and is very familiar with taking pictures.
He took the camera from Wen Susu, and then found a good angle to take a group photo of the three girls, one big and two small.
Click, click, click, there was another series of arrangements and combinations. After I finished taking the photos, I remembered that there was Teacher Niu.
Teacher Niu, who was about to go to the cabin, was moved, so he came over and took a group photo of the track and field team with Fang Wei and Cai Ling.
"Hahaha, Mr. Niu, please relax a little!"
"I've never taken many photos in my life, how can I relax?"
Teacher Niu grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth...
