Chapter 24: Horse Steps
At 10 a.m. on his third day in Liverpool, Ji Jinru will have his first PE class here, and although this is his first time as a teacher, in his opinion, this should be no different from teaching basketball players.
The first time he came to class was the students of the first class of junior high school, and the only thing that was strange was that the students here were almost all yellow-haired and blue-eyed students, and occasionally there would be Asians with black skin and yellow skin.
(For the sake of reading convenience, the dialogue at the end of the conversation directly replaces English in Chinese, Ji Jinru is a genius, there is no reason why he is not good at the English language!)
The green playground here is large and clean, which is very different from the abandoned playgrounds of many schools in China.
At this time, the fifty-three students of the first class of the second year had already arrived here, and I saw that they were a little ear-to-ear, some were listening to the songs with headphones, some were imitating the singers while singing and were self-absorbed, and there were even many students chasing and fighting.
Fifty-three students made the same fuss as five hundred and thirty students.
"Everyone's standing up!It's time for class!" Ji Jinru said as she stood at the front of the line.
"Stand in line, stand in line, please!" shouted a tall Englishwoman, who was Hime's assistant, and Anna Edra (henceforth Anna), a local intern.
However, the students on the field are still doing their own thing, and no one listens to Ji Zhenru.
"This new teacher is so tall, is he from the East?"
"Tall and handsome, I like it!"
"I like it too, it's really handsome!"
"You guys are so ignorant, he's just an Oriental, and he doesn't fit our Western aesthetics!"
"It's the first time I've seen such a handsome Oriental!"
"I heard that there are a lot of such handsome guys in South Korea, what's so unusual. ”
"It's different, I've heard that a lot of people in Korea are neat, but I'm sure that this teacher from China is absolutely natural!"
"I like it too!"
……
"It's time to start the lesson, don't make me repeat it a third time!" Ji Jinru said, his voice not loud and with a smile on his face.
"Stop making a fuss, please stand!" shouted Anna.
It's still useless, the students on the field are still playing their own games, and they don't pay attention to what Ji Zhen means at all, those who should talk are still talking, those who should listen to songs are still listening to songs, and those who should be running around are still running around, and they don't mean to stop at all.
Anna glanced at Ji Jinru, as if to say, "I did my best...... too"
Ji Jinru didn't speak, his face was still smiling, only said that he took two steps forward, and then a student just ran in front of him, only to see him fly up and kick the student flying in front of him to the ground!
Everyone heard the student scream "Oops!", everyone saw the running student fall to the ground, the student who was talking to each other was silent, the student who was listening to the song also took out his earphones, and the dancer stood still.
Ji Jinru was still standing in front of them as if nothing had happened, smiling at them, but at this time, in the hearts of all the students, this smile was terrifying, and it was an extremely scary existence.
"Teacher, what are you doing!" Anna asked Ji Jinru in a loud voice.
"It's okay, Teacher Anna, I'm just reminding them!" Ji Jinru said with a smile.
"You're abusing students, but you're breaking the law!" Anna said.
"If I don't do this now, he will suffer dozens of times more in the future than he does now, am I right?
"This ...... We have benefits in the UK, even if you don't work, you can get money!" Anna said.
"That's good, but if no one cares about them, what will happen to them in the future?" Ji Jinru asked, looking at Annan.
"It's ......" Anna hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, I'll repeat one side more, I'll stand up, eleven people in the first three rows, ten people in the back two rows, according to your height, give you thirty seconds!" Ji Zhenru suddenly said loudly at this time.
Now, no one made a loud noise, and it only took fifteen seconds for everyone to stand up in line, and the student who was kicked down by Ji Jinru just now also got up and stood in the last position of the first row.
"Very good!" Seeing that the students on the left and right had all sorted out the team, Ji Zhenru walked back and forth and said, "It seems that you don't have the ability to stand well, but you don't want to do such a thing in your heart!"
Some nodded.
"Okay, let me introduce myself, I'm your new PE teacher, called Ji Jinru, if you don't think you can fight, you can teach me Aji!" Ji Jinru said loudly.
"Aki?"
"Is it Aji?"
"It's supposed to be Aggie. ”
"I feel like it's Egypt. ”
……
The students stood down and said.
"Alright, I'll call now, you're all quiet!" said Ji Jinru, who took a folder from Anna's hand at this time.
No one dared to speak.
"Abel Latin!"
"Here!" said the boy standing in the first seat.
"Evangeline Philippa!"
"Here!" said a quiet-looking little English girl.
"Daisy Sophie!"
"Here!"
……
In this way, Ji Zhen read the names one by one.
"David Ofrey!"
"Here!"
Ji Jinru closed the roster at this time, then walked back and forth, and then said: "Now, let's start warming up, around the playground, three laps!"
"O! Shet!!!" many students cried.
"What, do you have an opinion?" said Ji Jinru, looking at all the students.
Everyone didn't speak, but from the look in their eyes, you could see a lot of dissatisfaction.
"Why, if you have any opinions, you can put them forward, your teacher and I are very open-minded!" Ji Zhenru said with a smile.
"Teacher......" said a boy with a little fat hair and curly hair.
"Yerevan-san, you say!" Ji Zhenru said as she looked at him with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to know my name?" said the chubby boy.
"What's so surprising about this, I looked at the roster just now!" Ji Jinru said with a smile.
"You have a really strong memory, you are such a teacher, I ...... I...... I can't run! I can run one lap at most, and I won't be able to do more!" Yerevan said.
"That's right, teacher, he really can't, he is the last in every running test!" said a tall, thin boy next to him, a boy named George.
"Okay, then you'll run for a lap!" Ji Jinru said.
"Is it? really?" asked Yerevan excitedly.
Ji Zhenru nodded, and then said, "Do you have any problems in the circle?"
"No problem!" Yerevan said, nodding.
"Very well, let's go!" Ji Jinru said.
"Teacher, I can't do it either, I can only run two laps if I die!"
"Teacher, I can only run one lap!"
"Teacher, I can't do it either!"
……
The students all said at this time.
At this time, the assistant teacher Anna glanced at Ji Zhenru helplessly, and said in her heart, "What can I do about this?"
I saw Ji Zhenru smile slightly, and then said to everyone: "Okay, since everyone doesn't want to run, then I'll let us have a training method with Chinese characteristics to warm up quietly!"
"yes, that's great!"
"What a training method!"
"I like to be quiet!"
"Cut, what's so good about being quiet?"
"A real man is a man who can exercise!"
"I hate you weak boys!"
"Let's run!"
"Teacher, in what way?"
……
There was another lot of talk below......
"What kind of warm-up do you want to change?" asked Anna curiously.
"What I'm going to teach you next is the introductory skills of Chinese kung fu!" Ji Jinru said with a smile.
"What, Kung Fu!" everyone looked at Ji Jinru excitedly.
"That's right, it's kung fu, how can China's physical education be without kung fu!" Ji Zhenru said.
"Great, teacher, do you want to teach me kung fu?" said Yerevan excitedly.
"Yes, you can, but learning kung fu is a very boring process, I just don't know if you want to!" Ji Jinru said as she looked at everyone in front of her.
"Yes, we do!"
"Of course I do, no matter how boring I feel, it's better than doing gymnastics endlessly!"
"So are we, we do!"
"Will we be like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee?"
"I've heard of Chinese kung fu since I was a child, and I'm going to learn it too!"
……
The students said one after another.
"Very well, there is an old Chinese saying, called a gentleman's words, a horse is difficult to chase. It means that since the man said what he was going to do, the four horses couldn't pull it back, so if the girls present felt bored, they could go and run laps, and since the boys agreed, they had to learn from me to the end, what do you think!" Ji Zhenru said loudly as she looked at everyone.
"No problem!!!" everyone replied loudly.
"Mr. Ji, that's not good, it's not what our syllabus is about!" Anna said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Teacher Anna, I know what the content of the exam is, isn't it just running and throwing solid balls, and in the end, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" Ji Jinru said with a smile.
"It's ......," Anna hesitated.
"You're going to keep it a secret for me, aren't you?" said Ji Jinru as she looked at Anna with a smile that no girl could refuse.
Anna nodded, I don't know why, this time her nod was not controlled by her own mind at all.
"Alright, now let's start with my posture, let's start with the basics!" Ji Zhenru said loudly, "You should first spread your legs parallel to each other, the distance between your feet is three soles of your feet, and then squat, your toes are parallel to each other, and don't skim out." Brace your knees outward, make sure your knees don't exceed your toes, keep your thighs parallel to the ground, and then tucks your hips forward and inward, and don't pout your buttocks outward. Your crotch should be in a round arc, with your chest and back pulled, not straight, your chest should be flat, and your back should be round. You can wrap your hands around your chest like a ball. And the head goes up, and the top of the head is like a thread, you can see clearly, like me......"
Ji Jinru said and made a horse step!
"Hahahaha......" Many people laughed when they saw this, and in their opinion, it was very funny at this time.
"Don't laugh, I can hold this position for two hours, and you may not be able to do it for three minutes!" Ji Jinru said with a smile as she looked at them.
"No way, what's so hard about that!" said Wells, the troublemaker in the class.
"It's just that it's so easy!" said Harry, Wells' good buddy.
"Yes, very well, since you are so confident, then from now on do it according to myself, I say start with it!" Ji Jinru said loudly.
"Yes!" all the students replied.
"Let's go!" Hime said loudly.
Ji Zhen gave an order, and all the students squatted down!
Ji Zhen circled around them back and forth, whoever did not move correctly, he would correct it, but before thirty seconds, most of the girls were all gone, and by the minute mark, except for five or six boys such as Wells George who were insisting, the other boys also stood up, and Wells was also sweating profusely at this time, shivering in the countryside.
"Very well, if you hold on for three minutes, you guys will be great!" Ji Jinru said as he walked up to Wells and them.
"Also...... How much longer?" Wells asked with a shudder.
"You stood for a minute and ten seconds, and there was a minute and fifty seconds left. Ji Zhenru said with a smile.
Then, several boys around Wells and George also stood up in silence.
"Oh, good...... It's so hard!"
"yes, it's much harder than you think!"
"My legs don't obey!"
……
The boys who stood up said one after another.
"Also...... How many minutes are left?" asked George.
"It's 1 minute and 25 seconds, and it's going to be a minute and a half soon!" Ji Jinru said, looking at his watch.
"Why is time passing so slowly!" Wells shouted.
"Soon, how can it be slow?" Ji Jinru said with a smile.
"Whew...... No!" Wells and George stood up at the same time, their legs now out of order.
"How's it going? Do you think it's easy now?" said Ji Jinru, looking at the students in front of him.
"Teacher, you say this is kung fu? It's too fake, can't you beat others, you can't get beaten, what's the use?" Wells asked aloud.
"Wells, you asked this question very well, I tell you the truth, any martial arts master in China first practiced this, this action is horse step, a person who practices martial arts, first of all, to train a strong physique. Without good physical fitness and a strong physique, it is absolutely impossible to achieve something in martial arts. I think you should all know that the basic level of kung fu is physical fitness, and the strength of physical fitness is directly related to the quality of internal organ function. In terms of martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine theory, it is whether the qi and blood in the body are harmonized or not, and whether the internal qi is full. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the strength of internal organ function and the quality of endocrine function. If the horse steps are successful, the internal organs of the human body will be specially exercised, and their functions will be improved, so that the qi and blood in the body will be balanced, the internal qi will be filled, and the endocrine function will be enhanced. The enhancement of the internal organs will nourish the limbs of the human body, so that they can burst out with extraordinary energy when fighting!
"Isn't it?" all the students looked at Ji Jinru in disbelief.
"If you can keep practicing, you won't dare to say how fast your kung fu is, but it's no problem to get a strong physique of 90 percent!" Ji Jinru said with a smile.
