Chapter 231 Dad’s Child



Coincidentally, Wu Xinyue from the English major was also there.

Xiaoqi felt that he and her were really destined to be together.

However, it is normal that there are more students majoring in English participating in English speech competitions.

After all, this is their profession.

When Wu Xinyue saw Su Xiaoqi, she was also confused. She was the main participant in the campus forum, and she didn't expect that it had no impact on Su Xiaoqi at all. Later, someone posted photos and videos to whitewash Su Xiaoqi, and she found that Su Xiaoqi's English was particularly good.

She had no problem communicating with the foreign teacher, and sometimes because the teacher spoke too fast, she didn't understand what Su Xiaoqi said at all.

Wu Xinyue also blamed herself for being too anxious. She was eager to seize on the scandal of the Korean athletic team and drag Su Xiaoqi into it without even finding out that the Korean foreign coach was actually a woman.

A woman who looks more masculine than a boy is simply...

This time it was just a misunderstanding and ended in nothing. Fortunately, she was careful and did not do these things on the dormitory computer, but went outside. Otherwise, she would have been exposed. She didn't expect that there would be such a thing as checking IP.

When she arrived at the speech contest and saw Su Xiaoqi, she felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.

Her English is pretty good, and it is the only subject she studies hard. After all, it is more useful and presentable, and being able to communicate with foreigners is also a face-saving thing.

I heard that the first place winner of this speech can go to Qingmeng University to continue to participate in the competition.

If she can win first place, she can show off on Douyin. After all, the personality of an outstanding, rich, white and beautiful female student is much better than those who are just good-looking.

But when she saw Su Xiaoqi... she had a bad feeling.

Xiaoqi is actually not that indifferent.

She had prepared very thoroughly over the past few days, but when the speech was about to begin, she suddenly became nervous and couldn't help but want to go to the bathroom.

This reminded her of her high school days. High school was like this. Whenever there was an exam, even the college entrance exam, or something important, she would feel like she had to pee and kept wanting to go to the bathroom. But when she went to the bathroom, she didn't actually want to pee much, but she just couldn't hold the urge.

There is a feeling of fear and terror.

She has been exercising recently and is in good physical condition. She didn't encounter any problems when she participated in the Top Ten Singer competition. But today, as the contestants who were giving speeches came up and down, she became more and more nervous and started to hold her urine.

She told her roommate that she was going to the bathroom.

Mi'er and the others didn't care, thinking that he just wanted to go to the bathroom. In their opinion, Xiaoqi was very capable. They had listened to Xiaoqi's speech several times and had no problem at all.

Xiaoqi herself was also confused. In fact, she was rarely so nervous. Even when she was interviewed on TV, she was not so nervous.

Maybe this time, she cared too much.

The timidity in my bones seemed to have reached the cracks in my bones and suddenly came out in an endless stream.

She said she was going to the bathroom, but after entering, she couldn't come out.

She came out again, she was only the second contestant, and she should still be a while behind.

She walked around the lawn outside for a while, took a deep breath, took out her cell phone and called her mother.

At this moment, she suddenly wanted to hear the voices of her parents.

It was a little after two in the afternoon. Sheng Juanhua and her husband had no habit of taking a nap. After lunch, they fed the pigs, chickens and ducks, tidied the vegetable garden at the back door, cleaned the reservoir, and then went to the living room to do bamboo weaving.

Now the couple has a clear division of labor: Su Youfu does bamboo weaving, and Sheng Juanhua makes homespun cloth bags.

Each bamboo container is filled with a small cloth bag, which makes it more refined and very popular with customers.

Some time ago, Su Youfu asked a few people to help rebuild the earthen wall at the gate. Now it is like having a small courtyard, which is much more spacious.

On an autumn afternoon in Gumula Village, the cool breeze was very comfortable.

Sheng Juanhua had just sat down on the bamboo chair when her cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was her daughter calling, so she quickly picked up the phone.

When Su Youfu heard the child's mother's voice, he put down the work in his hands.

"Nannan, why are you calling me at this time?"

"Have you eaten yet? Don't you have classes this afternoon?"

Sheng Juanhua had a strong accent and asked a lot of questions, and Xiaoqi didn't have time to answer.

"I don't have classes in the afternoon. I participated in a speech competition and was a little nervous, so I called you to ask how you and Dad are doing recently?" Xiao Qi spoke the local dialect of Gumula Village, which was difficult for outsiders to understand because it was very complicated.

If I really want to learn it, I don’t know which one is easier to learn, Japanese or Gumula Village Language.

"We're fine. Your father went to the city a few days ago to sell bamboo baskets. He weighed them on the scale at the pharmacy door and they weighed five kilograms."

Su Youfu's voice came over and said, "Don't be afraid of giving a speech. Your father once performed in the village brigade, and the whole village praised his performance. You look like him, and you are his son, so you will definitely speak well."

Sheng Juanhua rarely interrupted and agreed, "Your father is right. I came to Gumula Village with my friends at that time. I saw your father singing on the stage and that's when I wanted to marry him. Don't be afraid, just go on stage."

"Your father is very brave. He even traveled far away alone to sell winnowing baskets and negotiated prices with people without any fear," Sheng Juanhua added.

Xiao Qi was a little amused and confused when he heard this. Well, when he told his parents what a speech was, they didn't quite understand. They just thought that it was just about speaking on the stage, and that all that mattered was courage.

But after saying this, it seems less scary.

It's so simple, you are your father's son, you are like your father, your father is brave.

Xiaoqi hung up the phone.

Back to the lecture hall.

At this time, the fifth contestant came on stage.

Xiao Qi sat in the audience and listened attentively. In fact, the freshman competition still had many limitations. Perhaps it was because everyone had just experienced the college entrance examination, and it was as if they were reciting a college entrance examination essay.

Those who are good at English can recite more smoothly without any problems.

My English is average, and there is a bit of lag when reciting.

It was completely different from the passionate speech Xiaoqi had imagined, but when she saw Wu Xinyue, Xiaoqi envied Wu Xinyue very much. She thought she was extroverted and very sociable. Compared with her, she was like a child compared to an adult. Wu Xinyue could talk to strangers freely, but it was difficult for Xiaoqi to do that.

She is essentially a homebody like Wei Cheng.

Wu Xinyue is contestant number eight, and Xiaoqi is number seven. This is exactly the opposite of the last Top Ten Singers competition. This time, Xiaoqi will appear first.

Xiaoqi called his parents and felt less nervous. At least he no longer had to run to the bathroom, but his palms were still sweating.

But she didn't know that Wu Xinyue was even more nervous than her... Damn, what luck, she got the number next to Su Xiaoqi. She basically gave up on her speech. She was also good at reciting, but she felt that her advantage was that even when reciting, she would have more expressions, more body language, and more interactions.

She didn't have the confidence that she could be as good as Su Xiaoqi said. She knew her own level well, and she used body language when chatting with foreign teachers.

She didn't spend that much time preparing. She just chose an article and thought it was enough. But when she got to the competition, she felt it was not enough. Moreover, a contestant before her had chosen an article that was similar to hers, which was a bit repetitive.

The sixth contestant left the stage and it was Xiaoqi's turn.

Xiaoqi wore her school uniform pants today. She originally wanted to wear jeans and a T-shirt, but the temperature suddenly dropped and it was still quite cold today. This was the only thick outfit she had, so she had to wear it. Xiaoqi didn't care about her clothes. She kept encouraging herself, she could do it, and she walked onto the stage.

I bowed to the students and teachers in the audience with a smile on my face, and remembered my father's words in my mind: You are my child, there will be no problem.

Li Wei Jin also came. He sat very front and could see the girl going on stage. She was wearing a blue tracksuit, which looked very pretty and refreshing. But he also noticed that the cuffs of her tracksuit were frayed and the blue had turned pale due to washing. At that moment, his heart ached a little.
