Chapter 12 Sports Day
It is the annual spring sports meeting again, and the red flags on the playground are waving and the gongs and drums are noisy, and the firecrackers are singing in a crowd! Yes, every year all the primary schools in Shiqiao Town have to participate in the sports meeting in the central primary school, and it can be regarded as a good place to watch the excitement.

At that time, the primary school was not closed, the central primary school was built in the middle of the mountain, covering a large area, with a large playground, so there was no wall, and the lively crowd came to see the primary school students running the race. Yes, the main events of the Games are various races, 100 meters, 4× 100 meters relay, 200 meters, 4× 200 meters relay, 800 meters, 1500 meters, 3000 meters.
Of course, the most interesting thing has always been sprinting, in order to increase fairness, it is also deliberately divided into the senior group and the lower class group, and the two ends and the type are all from the lower class group.
In fact, the only attraction of the sports meeting for the former two ends is that you can bring some snacks and sit on the edge of the playground and eat while watching the game. I don't care about the sun or the dust raised by the dirt playground.
As a short-legged star, she has never had her share in the competition, and her classmates and teachers have reached a tacit understanding. According to the growth trajectory of the two ends, sports is the black hole of her life, as soon as she stands behind the starting line, she shiveres, she runs only faster than the turtle, even if she later grows to a height of 1.7 meters.
However, the elder brother is a sports all-rounder, although he is only eight years old, it can be imagined from those legs that he will definitely be a long-legged Oba in the future.
Because my brother participated in the 100-meter and relay races in the junior group, he didn't care about eating soil on the side of the playground at the second end, so he did logistics for his brother before and after running. He carried a water bottle on his body, as well as his brother's military satchel, a towel and toffee in his school bag, and several pieces of trough cake.
"In the lower school group, the runners of the 100m final should go to the check-in office to check in. ”
In the preliminaries, he played well and successfully entered the finals. After checking in, we will prepare at the starting line.
"Brother, brother, I'm waiting for you at the finish line, you have to come on!" The second end was so excited that his face was flushed, and he was looking forward to his brother's race too much, so it was best to run for the first place!
The type smiled and beckoned to his sister, wearing a hurdle vest and shorts, and on his feet were the absolute fashion brand at that time - pull back shoes! These shoes were a gift from the uncle to the type, and they were mailed back from the capital. I don't usually want to wear it, so I wore it as a boot when I participated in the competition.
My brother is simply a handsome guy who is a hipster man, and the appraisal is complete! The second end trots all the way to the finish line and waits to admire my brother's heroic posture of victory, so that he can go home and report to his grandparents.
As soon as the starting gun sounded, all the runners ran quickly towards the finish line like arrows from the string. The key to the 100m is the start and acceleration, as well as the explosiveness of the second half.
Although the first half of the type was only in the third and fourth positions, but the gap with the first place was not big, the explosive power of the second half of the type came into play, the acceleration was very obvious, surpassing the third, then the second, and finally before crossing the finish line, it was able to surpass the first place!
"Yay, win!" The two ends saw her brother cross the finish line and cheered, it was really wonderful and wonderful! When she went back, she must share this exciting moment with her grandparents, and she must describe her brother's great image well.
Seeing her sister jumping up and down happily, she also showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled brightly.
In the subsequent 4×100-meter relay, the team of the type only won the second place, and the first place was won by the Central Primary School, but the second end still felt that his brother was very powerful. After all, at this time, the children's physical fitness is average, there are many thin and dry, and there are almost no fat people.
The prizes for the Games are also very practical, the first place is a sheet, the second place is a towel, and the third place is a handkerchief. The type got a sheet and a towel, and was very satisfied.
In the end, Lishutun Primary School won the second place in the total score of the group, no way, there is a 10,000-year-old boss, there is a 10,000-year-old second. After all, the strength of the Central Primary School is unshakable.
After the sports meeting, Erduan and his brother went to grandpa's house for dinner, after all, they all came to town, and they couldn't go to grandpa's house.
The brother and sister jumped into the courtyard of their grandfather's house, and at this time their grandfather had not yet gotten off work, and their grandmother was washing clothes in the yard.
"Grandma, we're here. The type took her sister by the hand and grinned.
"Oh, you two came by yourself?" Grandma was startled, Lishutun is not far from here, but it is not close? Why did the two little ones come by themselves?
"Grandma, we are participating in the sports meeting today, and we are here with the teacher. Grandma, look at the prize I won!" "The type took out his prize and showed it, begging for praise with a face.
Grandma nodded: "The shape is really good, and I won such a good prize." You two wait, grandma will bring you delicious food. ”
The shape led the two ends to wring out the clothes that grandma was wringing, continued to wring them out, and then put them in the clean basin next to them.
Grandma came out with a plate of spring rolls, and saw her little grandchildren holding the end of their clothes, wringing them out hard, and their hearts were so soft that they couldn't speak.
"Put it down, grandma twist, you two are too small to twist. Come and eat spring rolls, stuffed with jujube paste. Grandma put down the plate and went to pick up the clothes in the hands of the two little hands, and looked, the little hands were wrung red.
Anyway, it's the last one, and the shape and the two ends don't fight with grandma, wash their hands and sit on the small bench to eat spring rolls. The spring rolls made by grandma are particularly crispy and delicious, and if you eat one, you will want to go to the next.
"Come on, grandma will give two cents, and you and Duanduan will buy two bottles of soda to drink. Grandma took out a handkerchief bag from her pocket, which contained bills of various denominations, and took two cents from it and handed it to the shape.
"Oh~ sister let's go, let's buy soda. "Snacks are absolutely appealing to children at any time, not to mention the most popular drink at the time, soda. The type took the money and pulled the two ends to go out.
The second end does not sweep the brother's interest, although most of the soda in this period is saccharin, but it can't stand the novelty, that is, grandma loves children, and the average family will not buy soda for children to drink casually, yes, drinking soda is also a very luxurious thing. However, soon the price of eight-cent soda will rise, and it will cost five cents in a few years, so eight-cent is really cheap at the end of the end.
The brother and sister came to the commissary at the corner of the street in a hurry, tiptoed and handed the two cents to the boss from the small window, and said crisply: "Uncle, buy two bottles of soda, and give the bottles after drinking!"
That's right, at this time, the soda and glass bottles have to be returned after drinking, and the neighbors who live near them generally send the empty bottles back to the boss after drinking.
The boss recognized that this was Principal Chu's grandson, handed out two bottles of orange soda, and instructed, "Take it, don't fight." ”
"Thank you, uncle. The shape took it carefully, took a bottle in one hand, and thanked the boss.
Just facing the envious eyes of the children on the street, the two bottles of soda in his hand, followed by his sister who was pulling his clothes, walked home majestically.
The second end followed behind his brother and smiled secretly, his brother's arrogant appearance was really funny.
The two brothers and sisters drank soda and ate spring rolls, and ate a round belly, and the grandmother ate a plate of spring rolls without paying attention, and this time there is probably no place to put aside dinner.
The second end was full of food and drink and nested on her grandfather's big recliner and felt sleepy, after all, she was only six years old, and her spirit was not so sufficient, and she was tired after a day of tossing.
Before falling asleep in a daze, she still thought that at this time, the Bawang Temple and the famous brand Arctic Ocean in Beijing, these domestic brand-name sodas, the future fate of these domestic famous brands of soda was actually hidden by foreign-funded enterprises, and she had a lot of regrets in her heart. By the time Coca-Cola and PepsiCo enter the Chinese market, these childhood memories will be wiped out by capitalism.
Before dinner, I was woken up by my aunt, but I wasn't hungry at this time, so I drank some rice porridge. However, the conversation between grandpa and grandma at the dinner table made the two ends cheer up all of a sudden, and grandpa and grandma were worried about their aunt's affairs. Auntie still hasn't given up asking for money to build a house, listen to the meaning, grandpa is a little bit of a compromise, this is amazing, aunt succeeded this time, it is estimated that next time it will come more violently.
"Grandpa, you told me before that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, do you remember?"
"Hmmm, teach people to fish? Remember, you said that they are all fish, why is it not as good, haha. Grandpa told interesting stories about the two ends, but he didn't save her face at all.
The second end really wanted to roll his eyes to his grandfather, but he didn't dare. "Do you think that makes sense?"
"Of course it makes sense, otherwise how could grandpa tell you?"
"Then why don't you do it?" said both ends, holding their chins, looking meaningfully at their grandfather.
Grandpa was asked by the second end, yes, he knew that he would meet his daughter's request when he made it, and he never thought that this would not only make his daughter accustomed to being lazy, but also make himself angry. The girl's character, why didn't she create it by herself?
Grandpa touched the little tugs at the two ends and sighed: "Duanduan, grandpa doesn't understand as well as you." ”
The second end is not to make grandpa sad, she is to solve the problem.
"Grandpa, you can find something to do for your aunt, there are a lot of people who do business now, you see Nana at the corner of the street, her family, opening a small restaurant business is good. "The two ends point out a bright road, and the recovery and vitality of the economy is simply a great opportunity to make money.
"Dad, Duanduan is right, find a livelihood for the eldest sister, she makes money by herself, isn't it better than coming back again and again to anger you?" Chu Ruiqin felt that her niece woke up the person in her dream with a word, it is better to teach someone to fish than to teach someone to fish!
Grandpa nodded, and his mind began to move. "It's good, but what kind of business do you want to make a living?"
"Open a tofu shop!" The two ends of the year hurriedly proposed, in fact, the eldest aunt would make tofu in the previous life, but they were all made to eat at home, and then exchanged some soybeans with the neighbors.
"Oh, open a tofu workshop, make tofu?" Grandpa was very interested, and he also attached great importance to Duanduan's speech.
"It's not just tofu, but also soy milk, tofu brain, dried tofu, tofu skin or something, let my aunt rent a small courtyard in the town, the front store and the back factory. Grandpa, you can find a market for your aunt, such as the canteen of the chemical factory, the canteen of your school, you can use it. "Erduan doesn't care why he knows so much at a young age, anyway, now my aunt is a piece of my grandfather's heart, and I have to help solve it anyway.
"Don't say it, what Duanduan said is quite like that, if it can really be done, the life of the Ruifeng family will be prosperous. Grandma pondered for a while and agreed.
"Dad, you can rent a house on the edge of the market, and it's not expensive, let's sign a contract for a few more years, and let the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law open a tofu factory." I can also look for the canteen of our unit, and I can also need some soy products. Chu Ruiqin also actively offered suggestions.
Grandpa pondered for a while, made a decision, and opened a tofu workshop!
