Chapter Fifty-Eight: Running Hard

Hearing that Shen Mengxi wanted to see the red leaves, Jin Yuelong said, "It's still early, now it's just a little red on the sunny side, and in a few days, there will be frost, make an appointment with a few people, and we will go together." ”

Of course, Shen Mengxi said yes.

After talking to Shanghai on the phone, everything was fine at home, Shen Mengxi decided to live in Beiping for a while, so he rented a small yard not far from Liang's house, hired a part-time worker, and came to clean it at noon every day.

Prices in Peking are much lower than in Shanghai, and the professor's salary is very comfortable to live in Beiping.

Shen Mengxi sent the manuscript to Lao Tian, bought some gifts on the street, and went to visit President Luo, who was very happy and asked the domestic servant to call Professor Peng and others to come, and there are now less than 20 teachers and more than 300 students in Dongda. Of the former professors, only Professor Peng, Professor Liu and Mr. and Mrs. Liang are still teaching at the University.

President Luo lived in the family room of the temporary campus, and did not rent another house, the conditions are very different from Shenyang, and the Liang family is not comparable, but he is comfortable and does not feel embarrassed at all.

Professor Peng and Mr. and Mrs. Leung, who had no classes, came. Talking about the University of Tokyo, Professor Peng sighed that he was afraid that he would not see the University move back to Shenyang in his lifetime.

Shen Mengxi saw the playground of the campus just now, it was pitifully small, the school building was also old, there was no laboratory building or library, and it was just the site of a middle school. When I asked about the female students in the school, most of them returned to their hometowns one after another, and most of the rest were girls from the Northeast, and there was not a single girl among the freshmen, even fewer boys, how could there be girls?

Principal Luo looked at Shen Mengxi, and suddenly stroked his palms and shouted, "There is!" ”

Professor Peng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

It turns out that there is a college autumn sports meeting recently, and one of the reserved items is the teacher's relay race, 4400 meters, with half of the entertainment component, after all, many professors are over 40 years old, and it is not easy to run down 400 meters.

There are very few teachers at the University of Tokyo, the youngest Liang Cheng is sick, Lin Huiya is frail, and it is easy to get together enough for four people, one of them was still broken a few days ago, swollen like a steamed bun, and the doctor strictly ordered him not to walk.

I had no choice but to let the fifty-five-year-old Associate Professor Bai go into battle, and he said that he would go down if he left!

Liu Changchun participated in three events in the Los Angeles Olympics, including the 200 meters in the final, although he did not achieve a place, but he has already made the exiled Dongda proud and excited. Therefore, although there are only more than 200 students in this college sports meeting, all the students have participated in all the projects, and this teacher project naturally cannot be left behind.

Principal Luo said it tragically, which made Shen Mengxi feel sad, and he agreed to come down, isn't it just running!

Chinese just love to seek perfection, and as soon as Shen Mengxi agreed, everyone smiled, as if this was also a great joy.

Professor Peng looked at Shen Mengxi out of the corner of his eyes, but complained to President Luo that there was nothing to eat recently, and his whole person had lost weight.

Principal Luo didn't believe it, "I heard your wife complain yesterday, and you got up in the middle of the night to steal roast chicken legs!" ”

Shen Mengxi understood and volunteered to cook a few delicious dishes for everyone, so Principal Luo ordered the servants to go shopping for vegetables quickly and have a big meal at noon.

The crispy and bright braised pork, the fresh and sweet and sour West Lake vinegar fish, and the spicy and smooth mapo tofu were served on the table one after another, and the chef of the Luo family also made four specialty dishes, and the last dish of Northeast style chicken stewed mushrooms reminded everyone of their time in Shenyang again.

"Hurry up, Xiao Zhang, sit down, let Lao Luo quickly make a few speeches, I can't help it!" Professor Peng screamed in frustration.

Principal Luo couldn't cry or laugh, and helplessly pointed at him, "Old naughty boy! ”

Shen Mengxi took off his apron and sat down after a while.

Everyone raised their glasses and watched Principal Luo speak, but Principal Luo didn't say anything and shed tears, and said for a while, "But make Longcheng Feijiang, don't teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain!" ”

The crowd was gloomy.

Only Professor Peng complained that President Luo had a bad appetite, "Old Luo! The most in this world is sad things, the moon will always be full again, the sunset will rise, China for 5,000 years, how difficult it is to prosper the country, which time is not difficult to pass? Don't shed tears, how do you know that there is no Dragon City Flying General now? Come on, come on, he cries his, let's eat first as respect! After speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite of braised pork, "Ah, that's the taste!" Miss me! Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, if you leave Dongda, I haven't eaten enough! ”

The old principal wiped his eyes, "Then you don't eat much, plug your mouth!" ”

Everyone relaxed their emotions, took a sip of wine, ate the food, and praised it.

"After eating this bite, I realized that Yue Long's chef was still a little worse." Lin Huiya said softly.

Shen Mengxi put down his chopsticks and bowed his hand to her, "Thank you goddess for your praise!" "I made another pose to take a picture and press the shutter.

Lin Huiya snorted and rolled her eyes. Everyone was surprised, and even Liang Chengru laughed at his wife's naughtiness.

The weather is sunny, the autumn is crisp, on the playground of Peking Normal University, the autumn sports meeting in which six colleges and universities participate is in full swing, the track and field events are complete, and the young students are running and leaping, youthful and vigorous, which makes people feel that the future can be expected.

The Department of Physical Education of the University of Tokyo lives up to its reputation, although it has the least number of students in the school, it is still among the best among the six schools, which makes Principal Luo very relieved, and said to Shen Mengxi, "Enough enough, just a few of you can run down!" ”

In the afternoon, Shen Mengxi changed into a red sportswear and black running shoes, and checked in with a group of teachers.

Other colleges and universities sent male teachers, but she was the only one who was a woman, who was very popular and eye-catching. Since it is not an official project, the competition does not care whether she is a teacher in school now, but also takes care of the special situation of the University of Tokyo today, and is even more happy to see female teachers appear on the field.

The other three teachers at the University of Tokyo, one in his thirties are teachers in the Department of Physical Education, and the other are in their forties, and they don't look like they can run fast. Teacher Gao of the Department of Physical Education had no expectations for this game, he smiled and asked Shen Mengxi to run the first stick, Shen Mengxi said resolutely, "I'll run the last stick!" ”

Teacher Gao hesitated, and immediately agreed, "It's okay!" ”

Shen Mengxi felt that he had no fighting spirit, and stretched out his right hand, and the other three people were puzzled and looked at each other.

"Let's get some more fuel, no matter what, go all out!" Shen Mengxi motioned for them to press their right hand, "At any time, go all out!" ”

"Go all out!" The other three were encouraged.

"Come on!"

"Come on!" The four shouted.

Students in the stands and on the side of the track were also infected, shouting and cheering.

The starting gun sounded, Mr. Gao was like an arrow from the string, taking the lead, the stands suddenly cheered, and the teachers of the five colleges and universities behind were also stimulated to their potential, chasing hard, Mr. Gao deserved to be a physical education teacher, leading half a lap, the first to hand over the baton, the second teacher Zhao was thin, Shen Mengxi was worried that he couldn't hold the baton and fell to the ground, and when he was out of breath, the lead of the first stick had been completely lost, and to the third stick Teacher Li, it was even more miserable, he stumbled and handed the baton to Shen Mengxi's hands, It is already half a circle behind the teachers of Tsinghua University, who are in first place.

Students from Tokyo University, standing on the edge of the playground, shouted "Come on, teacher!" A girl was a former student of Shen Mengxi, and at this moment she was on the side of the runway, shouting "Teacher Zhang!" Come on, Mr. Zhang! ”

There was a fire in Shen Mengxi's chest, burning so much that she was about to roar out.

At the moment, she only has the front in her eyes, and she can only run. Her lips were pursed, her ponytail fluttered, and she seemed to return to the ice rink of Shuanghe Farm, as if she was riding Meng Meng and galloping, with only one belief in her heart - go all out!

The students on the side of the playground exploded, and the students of Tokyo University ran next to her, shouting and crying out of nowhere, they had never seen a woman, or even a man, run as desperately as she did.

Everyone in the stands stood up, cheering for the flame-like red-clothed figure, like a huge wave emptying, in the corner of the stands, a figure also stood up, he couldn't help but take off his sunglasses, this was the first time he saw her running, and he felt that she seemed to be going to the battlefield, and the posture of striding and waving arms had an indescribable bewitchment, as if the people watching could not help but go down and follow the run.

Her angry scolding is still in her ears, watching her run, but understanding her, this is a woman with family and country feelings, and she does not lose to any man.

Shen Mengxi was like a cheetah, with his own rhythm, quickly crossed several teachers, Tsinghua's teacher, initially thought that the cheers were for him, and he was also inspired to rush to the finish line. But he saw a red phantom stumbling past him, hitting the line, running dozens of meters with a bright rope before gradually stopping, he looked around in amazement, for some reason.

The students of Dongda rushed to Shen Mengxi, cheering and jumping, and the girl hugged Shen Mengxi and cried.

Shen Mengxi stroked her hair, "Don't cry, don't cry." ”

She happily waved her hands to the stands and laughed happily.

Shen Mengxi was good at running, and suddenly the Liang family's living room had a new topic, and this Saturday everyone decided not to chat in the living room, and went to Xiangshan to climb together.

Xiangshan is also called Jingyi Garden, located in the western suburbs of Beiping 20 kilometers, because there are huge stones in the mountain like incense burners, it is also said to be named because of the fragrance of the leaves of the yellow oak tree. The cogscarus on the fragrant mountain, is planted during the Qianlong period, there are tens of thousands of coggy trees distributed everywhere in the mountains, there are mulberry trees, luan trees dotted in the meantime, after the frost falls, bright red, pink, pink, scarlet, the layers are distinct, plus the emerald green pines and cypresses are uneven among them, magnificent and fantastical, it is very good-looking.

This time Ling Su and Liang Chengru did not participate, and a few more men, they invited a white-bearded guide, who was nearly sixty years old, but with a strong body and a straight waist, he took everyone to watch all the way, walked slowly, and hired a few sliders, who were tired and went up to sit.

The old man took them to see Yuhuaxiu, Yunqi, Toad Peak and other places.

The last few people sat down in the octagonal pavilion of Senyu Wat Peak, and looked into the distance, the autumn wind was blowing, and it seemed that they were in a sea of red. Shen Mengxi took out the coffee in the thermos cup in his backpack, poured it into the paper cup, and put the cookies in the paper tray and distributed them to everyone. I also gave a copy to the old guide, and the old man thanked him and took a sip, "I've had coffee too!" ”

Lin Huiya's physique has improved a lot, and in the end, the more than 200 steps were climbed by herself, although her cheeks were red and sweaty, but her spirit was very good, she stood behind Shen Mengxi and picked a few leaves together to collect.

"Jiayu, the way you run, makes me feel that I will fall in love with you if I am a man." Lin Huiya suddenly said, "I didn't know that one day, I would cry because I watched a woman run." If Shizhe is here, he will write poems for you. ”

Shen Mengxi turned around and looked at her and said with a smile, "I'm deeply honored." In vain, I almost ran to my death. ”

"Are you so good at spoiling scenery when men talk sweetly to you?"

Shen Mengxi's eyes turned back to the red leaves of the mountains, with some memories.
