Chapter 378 Boating(1/2)
Friday morning, between classes.
The students were resting in the classroom. As class approached, they were surprised by news from monitor Huang Zhongfei.
"The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the two classes this afternoon are temporarily canceled." Huang Zhongfei announced from the podium.
"Damn it, doesn't this mean that after class in the morning, we went home directly?" Guo Kunnan was pleasantly surprised and got an early vacation. How cool!
Huang Zhongfei quickly explained: "No, no, our school will hold a dragon boat race in the afternoon."
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar and the whole classroom was shouting with excitement!
Of course they have heard of dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival, but this kind of thing only exists in their imagination or they have watched it on TV.
As for dragon boat racing in reality, they had never seen it before. Unexpectedly, the school would actually open today?
At this moment, the students were moved by the conscience of No. 4 Middle School. They usually scolded the school countless times and hated it for not fighting. Who would have thought that No. 4 Middle School would endure the humiliation and rise to prominence.
Chen Siyu was pleasantly surprised: "Squad leader, where should we go for dragon boat racing?"
Jiang Yanan: "I guess it's the Huishui River. The river is wide and close to the school. It's a natural treasure land for dragon boat racing."
The students were busy discussing and were very interested in dragon boat racing.
Xue Yuantong stayed at her seat and said, "Jiang Ning, if we race dragon boats on the Huishui River, can we finish the race and go home directly?"
Immediately, she was worried again: "But in that case, Jiang Ning, will your bicycle still be left at school?"
Chen Siyu interrupted: "You can bring your bicycle."
"Good idea." In this way, it's perfect.
Jiang Ning: "How about you listen to the monitor first?"
I saw Huang Zhongfei looking like he was hesitating to speak. The classmates were too noisy and his voice was completely muffled.
After a while, everyone regained consciousness and looked at the squad leader.
Huang Zhongfei said: "The school decided to hold the dragon boat race on the playground."
Cui Yu: "Hahaha, the principal is quite considerate and knew to let us gather first."
Huang Zhongfei, "No, I mean, hold a dragon boat race on the playground."
"ha?"
Meng Gui jumped out and said nonsense: "In order to hold a dragon boat race, the school actually wants to fill the playground with water. This is a big project!"
Huang Zhongfei: "The dragon boat race held this time is also called land boat racing."
After he explained clearly, the classmates in the class were disappointed, "I can't sail on land, but I still carve a boat for a sword!"
Wang Longlong: "It's no fun if we break up."
"It's gone." Duan Shigang was equally bored.
Huang Zhongfei was embarrassed, blaming him for not explaining clearly from the beginning, which caused the students' expectations to be too high.
"Sailboating on land is actually quite interesting. You'll find out when you get to the playground in the afternoon."
"And the principal said that in order to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, he issued a rice dumpling coupon to everyone in the school. With this coupon, you can go to the cafeteria to get rice dumplings to eat, including candied dates, red beans, salted egg yolks, and meat rice dumplings."
Hearing that he was receiving free rice dumplings, Xue Yuantong shouted happily: "Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, I eat red beans!"
Chen Siyu: "I haven't eaten salted egg yolk before."
Other students were also quite satisfied. They did not expect No. 4 Middle School to be so courageous. You must know that from the first year to the third year of high school, including repeat classes, there are nearly 2,000 students in the school!
Huang Zhongfei continued to break the news: "In addition, the 'Land Boating' event will hold competitions, with rewards ranging from third prize to special prize."
"The prizes are fine rice dumplings, pork ribs and egg yolk rice dumplings, fruit rice dumplings, eight-treasure rice dumplings, chestnut rice dumplings, and a championship cup with rice dumplings printed on it."
Cui Yu called out: "Is there anything else like this?"
Jiang Yanan: "I want a cup."
Shen Qing'e suddenly said: "Eight-treasure rice dumplings sound good."
After hearing this, Dong Qingfeng silently remembered it in his heart. In the afternoon, he will demonstrate his skills on the playground and let all the students in the school see what a "land god" is.
After hearing such a prize, the students' sense of disparity disappeared and they began to sharpen their swords and aim for the championship.
"Brother Quan, what do you think of the championship?" Guo Kunnan asked.
Shan Kaiquan didn't take it seriously: "I'm not afraid of competition."
I want him to study and exercise along the way, surpassing countless predecessors and becoming a dragon among men.
"Jiang Ning Jiang Ning, have you ever eaten fruit rice dumplings?"
"I haven't eaten it."
"Then do you want to eat?" Xue Yuantong's watery eyes blinked, trying his best to hint,
"I don't want to eat it," Jiang Ning said.
Xue Yuantong's face was innocent: "But I want to eat it."
Jiang Ning: "Then think about it."
…
afternoon.
As soon as Jiang Ning's mountain bike drove into the school, she felt a festive atmosphere.
Although the sunshine was strong and the temperature was high, the deep joy on the faces of the students could not be concealed.
Jiang Ning felt deeply that the joy of being a student was so simple. You didn't have to go to class and just participated in an activity to be happy.
He arrived at school relatively late, and the head teacher Shan Qingrong was speaking on the podium.
They were all explaining unimportant things until the last student in the class, Wu Xiaoqi, gathered the ball and Shan Qingrong waved:
"Set off!"
Xue Yuantong immediately followed Jiang Ning.
It was hot outside, Jiang Ning activated his magic power and arranged a cooling formation around his body, so Xue Yuantong came closer.
The corridor was densely packed with students, forming a long strip. Class 9 led by Gao Heshuai followed closely behind Class 8.
Yan Tianpeng wore a pair of sunglasses, walked like a dragon and a tiger, and looked like a social veteran.
Shen Xu stepped forward quickly: "Tianpeng, you are the ace of our class, this time it's up to you."
Shi Qianjin: "Please Tianpeng, I will definitely take first place this time."
He sincerely hopes that Class 9 can get first place, so that Yan Tianpeng can win the rice dumpling cup and no longer have to fill his cup with water.
Yan Tianpeng clenched his fists: "I am bound to win the championship."
The campus is full of lineups composed of class groups, and everyone’s destination is the playground.
A huge flow of people flows along the entrance and into the playground.
It's when the sun is strongest, and the scorching sunshine fills the playground and bakes everything.
Even the dense trees around seemed listless, but the students who stepped into the playground were excited.
Because there were many colorful dragon-like objects on the green grass. When I looked closer, I realized that they were inflated dragons.
"Is this a dragon boat?" Chen Siyu said.
Bai Yuxia: "It's quite unique."
Xue Yuantong: "It seems I can ride on it!"
Chen Siyu guessed: "Look at the long dragon's back, there are many black handles."
Someone started counting the number of handles on the back of the dragon. There were 10 in total. It seemed to mean that the dragon could seat 10 people?
From the first year to the second year of high school, more than twenty classes formed square arrays around the center of the playground.
The third grade students in high school will not participate in this Dragon Boat Festival activity because they are about to take the college entrance examination.
Director Yan held up the microphone and explained the rules of the competition.
Each class has 10 people at a time riding a long dragon. The students grab the handles of the dragon's crest with both hands, lift the air-cushion dragon, and then walk with their legs to drive the dragon forward.
The total length of the race is 80 meters, and each race can accommodate three long queues.
After understanding the rules, there were bursts of calls from the lineup of Class 7, Grade 1.
The strong Zhao Jinyang laughed loudly. Isn't this just a game of cooperation?
I miss him, Class 7, under his leadership, we are united.
In the last sports meeting, in the three-person and four-legged competition, Class 7 was the undisputed number one in the school.
Zhao Jinyang's sun-shined face showed wantonness: "Brothers, listen up, this time, follow me and win the championship!"
Bohan responded: "Will you be in Class 8 this time?"
Zhao Jinyang looked at the long-legged Tang Fu in the class and felt unhappy. He already knew about Tang Fu going to Class 8 to pay back the money. To him, this was no less than a betrayal!
