Chapter 18: Tug-of-war, tug-of-war

Many people express the meaning of education differently.

Just like this relay race, Li Jing couldn't guess what the organizers originally thought, but he understood the necessity of communicating with the children in different ways from the three same relay races. Zhou Yanan is also a smart person, and seeing him like this, he naturally understands a little.

In contrast to them, some of the parents present showed impatience and felt that it was a waste of time to run the relay race with their children. Some of them also found ways to communicate, and found it a lot of fun. There were even a few groups of families who left the venue in the middle of the process, which surprised many of them, but the organizers were obviously accustomed to it, and quickly found a few more groups of families to join in.

Family tug-of-war.

All in two groups of families, competing for power in the mud pool.

When it was time to be grouped, they and Meng Haoyu's family naturally formed a team. Each team has seven families, and it is four families that have already begun to gear up.

"Before the official competition, we have to invite the children to a friendly match. ”

Li Jing originally thought that the danger of children and adults tug-of-war together was too high. I didn't think that others had already made arrangements.

Xinxin, like all the children, is now having fun, and she doesn't have the fear of people at the beginning, so she directly steps on the mud with other children.

The adults were busy for a while before the group of little guys obediently pulled the tug-of-war rope. Children are different from adults in tug-of-war, and they need to wear thin cotton gloves to increase friction. The tug-of-war rope should also be one size smaller than the normal tug-of-war rope and more suitable for children's hands.

"Xinxin, after that brother says to start, you can just pull back. ”

He briefly told Xin Xin that the rules of tug-of-war are not as complicated as the relay race, and he didn't say much, just did it.

For children, especially children of Xinxin's age, it is often better to say more than to do it again, if it doesn't work once, then do it again.

Through the first stage of the relay race, many families have a general understanding of some of the rules for playing with children, and they have briefly talked to the children, and all the children have become serious.

Three or four-year-old dolls are the most well-behaved. Talking can be listened to, and it is cute and tight.

"Let's go. ”

As the referee gave the order, all the children exerted their strength almost at the same time, and the little ones gritted their teeth, squinted their eyes and pulled the rope vigorously.

Fourteen children tugging back and forth in the mud pool.

"Come on, come on, come on. ”

"Come on, come on, come on......"

"Xiaoyu, rise up ......"

"XX, come on......"

The cheering of the adults was huge, and the huge cheering and cheering made the little ones who were already serious more energetic.

"Xinxin, stand firm, don't slip your feet. ”

"Xinxin, grab it, don't let go, that's it. ”

"Come on, Xinxin, you've eaten spinach in the morning, you're Popeye. ”

Li Jing continued to guide Xin Xin by the side, and when he heard the sound of Baba, Xin Xin's little head also tried to understand what he meant. For example, the feet should stand firm, and the hands should be steady. Of course, none of this compares to the encouragement of Popeye and Spinach after that.

The stories he tells are all intermittent, and occasionally he tells the story of two Popeye eating spinach, but in fact, this is mainly to keep Xin Xin from being a picky eater. But Xinxin's memory of fairy tales and stories is particularly clear, and every time he tells a story, even Li Jing himself forgets it after a long time, but Xinxin can remember it very clearly.

It just so happened that this morning they were eating vegetable porridge with spinach in it.

"I'm Popeye......"

"I'm Popeye, I'm the best. ”

Xin Xin pulled back vigorously as he muttered. In fact, it's not that she really wants to win, and she doesn't have a strong concept of the word win in her heart for the time being. But thinking that I had eaten a big bowl of spinach porridge in the morning, I suddenly had strength.

I'm Popeye.

Popeye can push a boat with one hand, and if I can't even push a few children, I definitely can't be a Popeye.

Xin Xin thought to himself, and the more he thought about it, the harder he became.

The strength of the two teams of little guys is equal, and it is difficult to distinguish for a while. Just as they were still cheering desperately, the referee's whistle blew.

"Stop. ”

"Parents, please pull your child away. ”

Seeing that the little ones did not mean to stop at all, the referee thought that the parents sent a signal for help.

Zhou Yanan hurriedly called Xin Xin over, and the first thing Xin Xin did after running over was to ask him, "Baba, did Xin Xin have a lot of strength just now, can you be a Popeye?"

Li Jing looked at her dotingly, "Yes." Our family is of course Popeye. ”

"Parents, please bring your children along. Hearing the referee's voice, Li Jing and the two walked over with Xin Xin stepping on the mud.

After all the parents arrived, the referee slowly explained.

"Generally speaking, toddlers can't play too intense competitive games for long periods of time, so I stopped the game just after they had a three-minute game. Tug-of-war is one of the more prominent aspects of the intense game, and maintaining a state of exertion for a long time will cause some damage to their arms. Therefore, please pay attention to the fact that appropriate strenuous exercise is necessary, but it should not be sustained for too long. ”

After listening to the referee's words, the parents suddenly realized. After all, when the babies were tug-of-war just now, they were the parents who shouted the most, and some even shouted a few words because the referee called it off, thinking that the game would stop before it was over, but it was not enjoyable.

Li Jing also felt a little guilty, just now he thought he was very powerful and professional in guiding him, but now that he thinks about it, isn't it that the better Xin Xin does, the greater the damage to him may be? This can't help but make him blush a little.

looked at Zhou Yanan next to him, the other party just looked at him and smiled, but didn't say anything.

After all, she is a woman with extreme emotional intelligence, and knowing that she will save him some face at this time, Li Jing can't help but have a good impression of this woman.

"Between the ages of three and six, the soft tissue structure of the body gradually develops, the most obvious of which is the joints. Many people grow up with dislocated hands and feet and even fractures, in fact, a large part of the reason is the blind exercise education of early childhood families. In view of this, I suggest that if you have time, you can take a look at the book "3-6 years old children's learning and development guide", which clearly divides the physical exercise, thinking exercise and so on that children of all ages are generally suitable for exercise. ”

The referee gave a brief explanation before dismissing the topic. But as Li Jing, who has become crazy about his daughter, he has firmly kept the book mentioned by the referee in his mind, and thinks that he will buy a book to study when he goes back.

The next logical step is the adult competition.

Compared with children, adult competitions are more enjoyable. Most of the people who bring their children here to play are a family of three, and some even have a family of five. For a fierce competition such as tug-of-war, some parents originally suggested that men should play. But this sentence immediately aroused the blood of the women present, and they all clamored to join.

Thus, a mixed tug-of-war began.

Only when it was time to really compete could Li Jing and the others feel the difficulty.

A mud pond is not like a flat ground, where they have to work backwards to stabilize their focus. But the mud pool was so slippery that from time to time someone fell, but fortunately, the adults were very maneuverable and quickly stood up.

Not only is it slippery, although it is hemp rope, but because of rolling in the mud pool, the original frictional hemp rope is now more difficult to grasp. This problem will not affect people who work hard to make a living, after all, if you work for a long time, the calluses on your hands will be thicker, and the grip will be more powerful.

But for Li Jing and some female comrades, there are almost no calluses on their hands, and the grip of the rope is relatively unsatisfactory.

So the children who were cheering next to them and the people watching outside the mud pond saw a funny scene.

Twenty-eight menacing parents were about to do a big job, but they fell directly into the mud pool. Covered in mud, he stood up, completely unable to see any expression on his face. During the game, when everyone was expecting a fierce matchup, there were frequent falls, hand slips and other phenomena. A good competitive duel, a game with a self-entertaining nature.

In this regard, it is really not as good as the children just now. At least the children didn't fall, which made Li Jing and the others feel extremely surprised.

In the end, he thought about it for a long time, and then he always realized two words.

Focus.

After the two stages of the game, it was already a little past ten, and the referees and commentators of the public welfare had also completed their work. Some of these people will choose to stay and play for a while, and most of them will leave in groups.

In the huge mud pool, there were many more people all of a sudden. There are families in teams, couples in teams, girlfriends in teams, and boys in teams.

When there are more people, it will be lively.

Because of the game just now, Li Jing and Zhou Yanan felt a little tired, but Xin Xin was like a tireless elf, going to war with Meng Haoyu for a while, and then the two went to find new friends to make things out of clay to play.

Outdoors is always a child's favorite.

People who play in the mud pool for a while are basically in a state of mud all over their bodies. Little playchildren like Xinxin and them are even covered with mud on their masks, but fortunately the masks are impermeable, otherwise they would have eaten a stomach full of mud.

Zhou Yanan was fooled by Li Jing and sat directly in the mud pool. Look at Zhou Yanan, who is covered in mud, who will associate her with that strong woman.

Unknowingly, Xin Xin had been playing in the mud pond for more than an hour, and Li Jing and the two only joined the "Mud Pool Knight Battle" spontaneously organized by the parents after the referees left, and then they both sat and chatted with Meng Qiang and his wife. It's rare to meet acquaintances, and you have nothing to do, so naturally you can only chat.

"Baba, Mama, I'm so tired!"

"What's the matter, Popeye has no strength?" Li Jing said teasingly, looking at his daughter.

"I'm so tired that the spinach's strength is gone. ”

Just now, Li Jing told Zhou Yanan and Meng Qiang about Popeye, so when Xin Xin talked about it at this time, the three of them looked at Li Jing and smiled.

"Since we don't have the strength, shall we go home and replenish our energy?"

"Okay, okay, okay! Xinxin is going to eat a lot of spinach and then be a super big Popeye. Xin Xin remembered the "Popeye" she had piled up in the dirt just now, and was obviously very dissatisfied.

"Okay, let's go home!"

"Okay, we have to go back, or the old woman will call soon." Zhang Yu also got up and said, also feeling that it was late.

The four of them each said goodbye with their children, but they were two children, and their expressions were very reluctant.

When Li Jing planned to come here before, he prepared things to wash his hair and take a bath, and after looking for someone to help them take pictures, Zhou Yanan took Xinxin to the bathroom to rinse.

Men wash the bathroom.

"Ahh Li Jing groaned.

In the bathroom, from time to time, someone will make the same sound as him. Although there are masks, earplugs, and nasal congestion, some of the mud will inevitably dry out after being on the body for a long time, and the feeling after drying is not as comfortable as the wet state at all.

After washing, he found that Zhou Yanan had not come out yet, so he waited directly outside.

Because he had to help Xinxin wash and clean up his hair, Zhou Yanan stayed in the bathroom for half an hour. Most of the time is spent cleaning her hair.

"I'll get behind the wheel! On the return trip, Li Jing offered to drive, Zhou Yanan nodded, and sat in the back with Xinxin.

The car started and drove on the way back, and the bodyguard's car also started to follow, although it was not very obvious, but Li Jing, who was deliberately observing, still noticed it.

Through the rearview mirror, Zhou Yanan closed his eyes, obviously asleep. Xinxin was lying on her lap, sometimes making a whirring sound.

He subconsciously slowed down and controlled the car, trying not to cause any bumps.

Xinxin in the back is muttering in his dreams.

"Baba Ma Ma is so stupid. ”

Li Jing estimated that this little guy was laughing at the few falls he fell when he and Zhou Yanan were in tug-of-war!
