Chapter 66 The Little Six Sons of the Northeast
Cheng Nuo is also very busy, it is impossible to take shortcuts in this section of the road from ideal to reality, and it is impossible to completely copy the sports rules of later generations.
After a few days, I was so busy that I didn't eat a few meals, and the corners of my mouth were foaming.
I finally sat down, stuffed two pieces of mung bean cake into my mouth, and poured a few sips in the teapot before I felt more comfortable in my stomach.
"Mr. Chen, how are your friends in the New Youth Editorial Office doing, our sports day will start in two weeks, so you have to hurry up."
Mr. Chen put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile, "I have no problem myself, as for the others, it is difficult to say, after all, everyone's mind has been focused on the new culture in the past few months, and there is a period of time to adapt."
Mr. Qian hunched over and patted his calves, and the glasses on his face almost fell off: "That's the truth, just in this warm-up stage, the bones on the back are like a cannon for the New Year, crackling."
"Exercise is the source of life, and exercising more is good for your body." Cheng Nuo looked around and had some questions: "Why didn't you see Mr. Yucai and them, it's just the three of us in the morning."
"They get up late and can only arrive in the afternoon, as for Yucai, he doesn't exercise with us, and he runs from the Shaoxing Hall to the Ministry of Education every morning, I think he has made great progress." Mr. Chen reached out and took half a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite: "Don't say it, this tastes pretty good, do you want to have one too?"
Mr. Qian waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm afraid that I will eat too much, and my stomach will be uncomfortable after a while, and I will vomit."
"It's okay, there are more mung bean cakes here, wait for you to go back and bring back a box of them." Cheng Nuo smiled: "But ah, it's really not good, don't participate in the main competition, that fun sports meeting is not bad, the focus is on participation."
In order to let everyone experience the happiness, Cheng Nuo will skip rope, kick shuttlecock, tug-of-war, roll hoop and other sports to join, the threshold is not high, and the number of people who signed up for a while is also quite large.
Mr. Chen finished the pastry in his hand and clapped his hands: "Deqian, you can really think about it, the ranking is not so important, and the fun games that Zhiyuan said, we have not participated in similar games before, and the experience is also very good."
As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were some interesting sports born from track and field, such as three-legged race walking, pen calculation race walking, obstacle walking, armed race walking, etc., and it was also interesting to participate in them.
While a few people were still discussing, the school worker suddenly ran over, panting.
"Mr. Cheng, there is a person named "Zhang Xiaoliuzi" looking for you outside, do you want to go and have a look?"
"Little Liuzi? I haven't dealt with Bong before, so why would you suddenly visit me?" Cheng Nuo's face was full of suspicion, for this figure with mixed achievements in history, he had no intention of taking the initiative to contact him, but he didn't expect the other side to take the initiative to come to the door: "Two gentlemen, let's go with me first, I'll go over and see what's going on over there."
Mr. Chen instructed: "When dealing with the children of these warlord families, you must be more careful, if you are not completely sure, you can prevaricate them first, and we will find a way together when we go back."
Mr. Qian also agreed: "I don't know about him himself, but his father is not a person to be messed with, so it's better to be careful."
Cheng Nuo nodded, thanked the two of them, and then walked towards the door.
The picture turned and came to the gate of Peking University.
Xiao Liuzi poked his head inside with interest: "Pulaide, I heard that there are female students in Peking University, why did they stand and watch for a long time, and they didn't see a single woman, they wouldn't just say one thing and do another."
Pride still didn't understand his careful thoughts, and was a little helpless: "There is no official enrollment yet, and there are not a few female students, so it's normal for such a big school to not see it for a while."
"Forget it, let's go to Baishun Hutong at night, it's much better than Fengtian." Xiao Liuzi was a little disappointed and shook his head: "Why did you say that Professor Cheng couldn't come back this time, I've been waiting for a long time, so I won't be there."
He is only sixteen years old this year, and young people's interests come and go quickly, and before you know it, time flies very slowly.
Fortunately, Cheng Nuo
Just in time, when he was about to get impatient, he finally came to the door.
"Professor Cheng, these two people are waiting at the door are Mr. Zhang and Mr. Pryde."
Cheng Nuo took the initiative to reach out his hand; "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been busy with school things lately, I don't know if the two of you are here, and I'm not welcome, please atone for my sins."
"You're the famous Professor Cheng? So young!" Xiao Liuzi was a little shocked, according to his thoughts, Cheng Nuo should be the same age as Zhang Boling, otherwise the North China Games could not solve the problem, how could Peking University easily overcome it.
Cheng Nuo didn't expect that Xiao Liuzi was still half a child, he was still a head lower than him, and he had a local accent, so he smiled in an elder's tone: "If the mathematics department of Peking University can't find a second professor surnamed Cheng, then what you just said should be me."
Xiao Liuzi immediately became excited: "Before I came, I was afraid that you were an old pedant, and it was too boring to talk like that, and now it seems that you are not a few years older than me, this is great, why don't I call you Brother Cheng, you call me Brother Zhang."
"Haha, it seems that the next time I meet with others, I have to stick on the mustache of singing, and I can't let others down." Cheng Nuo laughed heartily, pointed to the campus of Peking University, and said politely, "Let's go, Brother Zhang, big brother will take you around."
On the way, Xiao Liuzi told the purpose of his visit, which was to learn more at the Spring Games of Peking University and see how the first completely independent sports meeting in China was held.
Cheng Nuo was angry, and suddenly thought that since the North China Games were held in front and the campus games were held later, it was better to go to Nankai first to learn from the experience, see how the ancestors of this era worked hard, and marry the experience of later generations.
After hearing this, Xiao Liuzi ran in front and looked at him excitedly: "Brother Cheng, do you mean that you are also going to participate in the North China Games with me?" I think Mr. Zhang Boling will be very happy to see you, and maybe you can make this Games even better."
Cheng Nuo smiled: "Not only that, but I also want to change all the rules to ours directly in this session, especially the distance unit is changed from the imperial system to our metric system, and the students in our school use it locally."
"Brother Cheng, you are too powerful, Pride look, this is my new big brother!" Xiao Liuzi boasted, ignoring the fact that he was still a stranger before entering the door: "By the way, big brother, your school has a new tennis court."
Pride is different from other foreigners, he was imprisoned by their country for a period of time because of his opposition to World War I, and after he came out, he went directly to China to promote sports, so Xiao Liuzi still trusts him.
Cheng Nuo asked, "yes, what's wrong?"
Xiao Liuzi rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed: "It just happens that my hands are a little itchy, do you want to accompany me to play two games."
"Okay, that's fine, let's go."
The picture came to the scene of the professor council of Peking University again, and *** was also called over to attend the meeting.
Originally, Cheng Nuo also wanted to participate, but he didn't like the atmosphere of the meeting, so he resigned after coming a few times.
Cai Yuanpei looked at the participants and said with a smile: "Professor Cheng's current spring sports meeting is in full swing, and he has rejected the unwarranted interference of many foreign teachers, which has made a good start for the school.
