Chapter 159: What Life Looks Like (9)

Thursday, November 10, 2011. At about 9 o'clock in the morning, after waiting for Fang Yu and the children to finish breakfast, Yu Yan was washing the dishes when she suddenly received a call from the school's principal Zhang to talk about the Mathematics Olympiad.

After driving to the school, Principal Zhang was already at the gate smiling and greeting her. In the office, Principal Zhang enthusiastically poured a cup of tea and said straight to the point: "Mother Yuanyuan, there must be something that the child has already told you, right?"

Yu Yan smiled and nodded, "Is it about the Math Olympiad? ”

Principal Zhang said: "Actually, the two children are very smart, our original intention was to let Fang Zheng participate, such a good opportunity, I don't know why he resigned, did he tell you?"

"Thank you for your affirmation of my children, but we respect their decisions in this matter. Taking a sip of tea, Yu Yan continued, "The question you mentioned is related to our family education. ”

"Oh? ”

Yu Yan told Principal Zhang that in the life of the family, the husband loves his wife, the elder brother cares about the younger sister, and the wife respects the husband, and the younger sister respects the elder brother. Over time, children have been influenced by this atmosphere, so it is not surprising that this decision was made.

"I really envy your family, such a family, how can the children's learning not be good! This is also an example for us to learn from the whole Suzhou City and even Jiangsu Province. ”

"Actually, how can there be no contradictions in a family? When contradictions appear, it is also a time to test each other. Trust each other and tolerate each other, although children have smart and stupid words, in fact, I think that at birth, as long as it is not born with a defect, every child is the same. The key is also the education of both spouses and the atmosphere of the whole family. ”

Principal Zhang smiled and nodded, and told Yu Yan another news, Jiangsu Province will hold a national youth martial arts competition in the near future, and each city will select three children between the ages of 12 and 15.

"But my child isn't old enough?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I have already applied to the General Directorate, and for particularly qualified children, we are willing to provide him with such an opportunity. ”

"It's a great opportunity. ”

However, Fang Zheng is only 8 years old, and he may have to compete with a 16-year-old child, whether it is height, weight or strength, he is at an absolute disadvantage, and there is a certain risk, so he must first obtain the consent of his parents. ”

"Is it a hand-to-hand duel or a duel with clubs and weapons?"

"It's all there, it depends on what you choose. I'm not sure if Fang Zheng's classmate can stand it, I'm afraid he will get hurt. ”

Yu Yan smiled: "Thank you Principal Zhang for your concern, I believe in my child." He's weak, but he has a small advantage, doesn't he?"

What kind of joke are you kidding, will you not be able to beat it? I think that at the beginning, when martial arts had not made such great progress, they were already a blockbuster, and now they are even more amazing. Not to mention a 16-year-old boy, even if he overthrows an adult man, he is not a problem. Of course, these words can only be wallow in her stomach, and she is absolutely unspeakable. Besides, will anyone believe it?

"If you agree, then please sign this contract. ”

Yu Yan suddenly asked, "Can Yuanyuan participate?"

Principal Zhang was a little surprised: "Ah?

"That's it, Principal Zhang. ”

Yu Yan decided to let Zhengzheng participate in the hand-to-hand duel competition, and Yuanyuan participated in the sword scoring competition. Principal Zhang looked at Yu Yan blankly, until she nodded her head in confirmation, and then said, "Can we take a look at the two of them first?"

"I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to make sure. ”

"Understood, when do you think you can start?"

Principal Zhang looked at his watch and said, "There are still ten minutes before the end of class, I'll arrange for the two of them to practice in the playground first, do you think it's okay?"

"No problem. ”

Yu Yan's follower, Principal Zhang, came to the door of the classroom of Class 52, and this class happened to be English. Every time the teacher asked a question, Zhengzheng and Yuanyuan scrambled to raise their hands to speak, and when answering the question, they were full of confidence, their voices were loud, their words were clear, and the English teacher who watched them nodded their heads in approval.

Seeing that there was still some time, Principal Zhang hurriedly gathered all the teachers together. In order to create a live competition atmosphere, the school decided that all the students would gather on the playground in the next class to cheer for Fang Zheng and Fang Yuan. At this time, Yu Yan took the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword from the car and came back.

The bell rang for the end of class. After receiving the principal's urgent notice, the students jumped up happily, not that they could go to watch the martial arts performance, but that they could skip another class. As the music sounded on the playground, the students jumped and lined up to the playground.

Principal Zhang cleared his throat and said, "Students, the National Youth Wushu Championship will be held at the Beijing Gymnasium on December 12. At that time, there will be 23 provinces, 4 municipalities directly under the central government, and 5 ethnic minority autonomous regions across the country, and more than 1,000 young people will show the charm and style of Chinese martial arts. Our school will send Fang Zheng and Fang Yuan to participate, because they are young, we will first conduct the selection competition in Suzhou City, if they pass, we will go to Beijing to play the finals, win glory for our school, and win glory for the whole of Suzhou! Let us cheer for them with warm applause!"

Applause rang out in twos and threes. Also, who is optimistic about these two children who are only 8 years old!

"Next, we ask Fang Zheng and Fang Yuan's mother to say a few words, everyone is welcome. ”

The applause rang out a few more times. Yu Yan smiled slightly, although she didn't prepare in advance, it didn't bother her at all.

"Chinese martial arts have been held in the land of China for thousands of years, with a long history and roots in the people. The basic spirit of Chinese culture reflected by it emphasizes "martial arts based on virtue" and virtue as the first art, and reflects the nation's ethical concept of taking "benevolence" as the core and attaching importance to harmonious interpersonal relations; practicing chivalry and fighting righteousness and eliminating violence and peace reflect the patriotic tradition of being vigorous and promising, forging ahead in joining the WTO, supporting justice, and fearlessness; pursuing the skillfulness, verve, and artistic conception of personal skills is precisely the traditional aesthetic taste that achieves the perfection of personality; advocating the principles of "light force" and "still skillful", taking advantage of ingenuity, and borrowing strength from the trend, reflecting the Chinese courtesy first. Polite, strong but not wild, solid skills for the internal characteristics of competition, as well as advocating nature, embodying the idea of "the unity of nature and man". Children, I want to tell you that being a man in advance is the principle of doing things, and that being a man before establishing a career is the principle of being a man. If you don't do things, you will never be able to do things, and if you don't be virtuous, you will never be an adult!"

"Finally, I want to say to Zhengzheng and Yuanyuan, Mom won't go with you. But I will set up a celebration feast at home and wait for the triumphant return of my heroes!"

"Okay, no......"

"That's a good point, how can an 8-year-old compete with a 16-year-old?"

"yes, that's so unrealistic, it's not responsible at all. ”

Facing the discussion of teachers and students, Yu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Next, we invite Fang Yuan to show you the profound swordsmanship of Chinese martial arts, this set of swordsmanship has a very nice name, called Flying Sword Technique. ”

"What kind of flying sword technique, will it still fly to the sky?"

Some students muttered quietly, and when they said this, even the teachers couldn't help but start snickering.

Yu Yan said loudly: "Please come out of the queue!"

Fang Yuan answered, walked to the front, decisively took off his school uniform, and took his mother's sword, only to see that her eyes were bright, her expression was calm and calm, and she had a lot of demeanor.

After Yuan Yuan was ready to start his hand, he suddenly shouted: "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming." The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star. ”

While she was dancing the sword, she had a strong voice, only to see the sword flowers on the field, the figure was elegant, coming and going without a trace, and all the teachers and students, including the principal, were suddenly collectively stunned.

"Emperor Qin swept Liuhe, looking at He Xiongzai. The flying sword broke through the clouds, and the princes came to the west. As she spoke, she made a move of "Fairy Scattered Flowers" and "Wind Candle Remnant", the momentum was like a rainbow, and suddenly, all the teachers and students in the audience burst into a burst of warm applause.

"The beaded robe dragged the brocade belt, and the dagger was inserted into Wu Hong. Originated from Wanfu Yong, and carried the majesty of this life. A graceful arc crossed, the tip of the sword pointed straight to the sky, and the circle suddenly rose from the ground, it was this move to "soar into the sky", although her internal force was limited, only three meters high in the air, but this had already made all the teachers and students burst into an exclamation!

Yuan Yuan didn't fully show the whole set of swordsmanship, after five moves, she stopped her body in time, saluted the teachers and students with fists, nodded to her mother, and stepped forward to return the sword.

"This little girl is amazing!"

"yes, I really don't see it. ”

"Hey, how did she jump so high? I thought I was dazzled. ”

"yes, that's amazing. ”

The crowd erupted in applause again.

Yu Yan nodded, there was no half-approving expression on her face, just gently reminded: "Mo Jiao, Mo Mania, Mo Crazy, you must know, there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, and there is no end to learning." ”

"Yes, Mother, the child will not forget the teachings. ”

Seeing that Fang Yuan actually had such superb swordsmanship, Principal Zhang's heart suddenly became clear, and after obtaining Yu Yan's consent, he announced loudly: "Next, we invite Fang Zheng to appear." Because Fang Zheng's classmates are hand-to-hand duels, he asked martial arts coach Wu Yang to help. ”

What? Do you want to compete with Teacher Wu Yang? What are you kidding! He used to be a national sanda athlete, if he was punched, would this child's life still be there?

Facing the whispered discussions of teachers and students, Principal Zhang thought about it, too, if there is any difference, he can't afford it. So, he changed his words and said: "For the sake of safety, as long as Fang Zheng kicks or hits Teacher Wu Yang, he will win." And Mr. Wu Yang can only dodge, not shoot. ”

That's pretty much it. Wu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. But Yu Yan sighed, shook her head slightly, took the microphone, and said loudly: "This is unfair to Teacher Wu Yang." I don't think it's as good as this, as long as Mr. Wu can catch Fangzheng, even if Mr. Wu wins, and Fangzheng-"

She looked at her child, smiled slightly, and said, "My other party is making a request." Fang Zheng didn't put Teacher Wu down within three moves, even if he lost. ”
