Chapter 72: Interlude (Fifth Update)
Qi Xuan and the teacher who led the team knew nothing about what was happening at the competition venue.
After eating, the teacher who led the team took a few students to the venue to listen to the rankings of the competition.
When they went, it was neither early nor late, and the crowds on the playing field were in order.
"You guys have to come on!" The teacher who led the team cheered Qi Xuan a few times!
Qi Xuan smiled kindly, then turned around and went to the contestant's place.
It didn't take much time for the judges on stage to speak.
"In this competition, I am very honored that the president of our Provincial Calligraphers Association also came to our place of competition, and everyone welcomes him ceremoniously!"
Jiang Minhai first applauded on the stage, and the students below applauded.
Zhao Kai took a step forward and waved his hand.
"You are the future of the motherland, many of the players are quite good, I am from Shanjiang City, so I hope that the players from our hometown can achieve good results in the provincial and even national calligraphy competitions. Without further ado, let Mr. Jiang announce the ranking of this competition!
Ranking is secondary, the spirit and will of calligraphy is the most important, and calligraphy cannot be written without unremitting efforts. It's good to win the award, but don't be discouraged if you don't win the award, and fight again next year!"
After Zhao Kaizhi finished speaking, the students below applauded warmly.
Then, no one spoke, and it went straight to the announcement of the rankings.
"Now I would like to announce the encouragement prizes for this calligraphy competition, a total of 20 contestants. ”
Jiang Minhai read out the rankings one by one, Qi Xuan heard Feng Sheng's name and glanced at him, Feng Sheng's words were actually not bad, but he was confused in this competition.
It has not yet come out of the lockdown.
Qi Xuan thought that he hadn't experienced anything more serious, and if Wu Ying wrote the report, the reputation of the lockdown would be completely ruined.
She didn't know that Wu Ying's report had already been published, and the effect was extremely obvious.
Although very few people on the island have newspapers, the news is also a bit delayed.
Until the fermentation of the incident on the radio, it was also broadcast as a story, and now, Xiaoyang Island is completely popular.
Even the county magistrate called the village and asked about the pigsty girl.
At this time, the village chief secretly exclaimed: "It's so dangerous!"
Fortunately, arrangements have been made for Yingzi, otherwise it would be difficult for him, the village chief, to choose his guilt.
On the cusp of the storm, in addition to the closure of the city, there is also Huang Qiulian, the stepmother.
As soon as they go out, both of them will be thrown rotten eggs and rotten vegetables.
Many radical villagers even ran to Huang Qiulian's house and smashed her for a while, telling her to get out of Xiaoyang Island.
Among them, the happiest is Xu Zhaodi.
Because as soon as this incident came out, no one remembered her ugly deeds.
Huang Qiulian's notoriety has completely overshadowed her.
Originally, the countryside was like this, whoever had a sesame mung bean thing would spread it, not to mention a bad incident like Huang Qiulian.
Soon the matter spread to the town, and the people who were engaged to Yingzi at the beginning said that these were all later words.
There are fewer and fewer places on the stage, but the awards are getting heavier and heavier.
When it came to the first prize, Qi Xuan hadn't heard his name yet, until Jiang Minhai handed the microphone into Zhao Kaizhi's hands.
"The following award is also the highest award in our city's calligraphy competition, and I will give this opportunity to our President Zhao. ”
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for giving me this opportunity, this classmate is not very old, but he is experienced in penmanship, I couldn't write such words when I was young.
People say that words are as their name suggests, and I am also curious about what kind of person this classmate is.
I think there must be an elder in her family who taught her calligraphy since she was a child, so she can be so good!"
Hearing her grandfather say this on stage, a little girl in the audience looked proud.
"Didn't Grandpa say her? I didn't read her name in the first few rankings, and the grand prize must be hers. ”
Zhao Yingran had a victorious smile on her face, and several girls around Zhao Yingran congratulated her one after another.
"Zhao Yingran, congratulations, you are the only one who has won the grand prize in this competition!"
Zhao Yingran raised her chin proudly: "My mother said that if she won the prize money of the competition this time, she would take me to Xiangjiang to watch the dolphin show." ”
"Wow, your mother is so good to you! I heard that there is everything in Xiangjiang, which is not comparable to ours here. ”
When a few people were chattering, Zhao Kaizhi announced his name.
"The person who won the special prize in this competition is Qi Xuan, a student from Xiaoyang Island, Xiaoyang Island Central Primary School in Dongling County!"
Zhao Yingran was about to move forward, but she was stunned, she looked at the stage, thinking that her grandfather was joking with her.
How could it be someone else? How could it not be her?
She looked at a rustic girl in blue cotton clothes on the side, with a smile on her face, and walked to the stage.
In an instant, she felt that Qi Xuan's smile and its glare were like a sarcasm for her.
She watched her grandfather award the award to Qi Xuan, and then her eyes went dark, and the whole person fell to the ground.
As soon as Qi Xuan received the award certificate handed to her by Zhao Kaizhi, she heard a commotion in the audience, saying that someone had fainted.
Qi Xuan looked from the stage and saw a girl about the same age as himself falling to the ground. She reflexively stepped forward to check on the girl.
"Hey, this classmate, don't move her, she can't move now. A teacher said to Qi Xuan on the side.
Qi Xuan pressed against the woman's center, and Zhao Yingran woke up slowly.
"You, why are you?" Seeing Qi Xuan, Zhao Yingran's eyes widened, and she almost rolled her eyes and was dizzy.
Qi Xuan hurriedly grabbed her hand, and Qi Xuan controlled the acupoint, and Zhao Yingran didn't faint even if she wanted to.
"Let's spread out, give her some space, or the patient will suffocate." ”
As soon as he heard that the patient was about to suffocate, the people around him hurriedly dispersed.
Zhao Kaizhi walked over, and he helped his granddaughter up.
"Grandpa, why didn't I get this grand prize, why do you want to give it to others?" Zhao Yingran's emotions were still excited, and she pointed at Qi Xuan and shouted. He looks like a child who hasn't eaten candy.
Qi Xuan touched her nose and took a step back, this can be a gun, it's really lucky! She smiled bitterly in her heart.
"Your level is not good enough, and naturally the award is someone else's. ”
"But, but my mother said the award was mine. ”
"Your mother is not a judge, and so many people are not here to play with you, this is a competition, it is going to the province, it is a national competition. Whose work is good, it's clear at a glance, you want to make my old face lose all your name!" Zhao Kaizhi's serious expression completely made Zhao Yingran wake up.
"Grandpa, I was taught by you since I was a child, you said that even in the whole country, at my age, such a level is among the best, she is just a country girl. ”
"Yes, she is a country girl, have you forgotten that your grandfather told you when you were a child that people should not be good-looking? People are a country girl, but other people's handwriting is better than yours, and there are many people in this world who write better than you, did you meet one like this at that time? You really disappointed grandpa!"
"Grandpa, grandpa, I was wrong. Don't be angry, I'll never do this again!"
