Three days of exercise passed in the blink of an eye.
The closing ceremony has begun.
Thanks to the efforts of all the students, they finally won the rotating red flag for the second consecutive year.
Before school ended, Teacher Lu came to the classroom to give a summary to everyone.
"Students, I am very satisfied with the results of this sports meet. Everyone worked very hard, and the results were much better than expected."
"We won three gold medals, six silver medals, and three bronze medals this time. Let's applaud these students and thank them for their contributions to the class."
Applause rang out in the classroom.
"We also want to thank all the students who worked hard to write the broadcast scripts. Our class's broadcast scripts had the highest number of plays in the whole school, and we all applaud ourselves."
"Our class was able to win the rotating red flag again this time, thanks to the hard work of the class leaders and the cooperation of all the students. Our class is a whole, and this is the first large-scale event we have participated in. We have achieved such good results. We will definitely do even better in the future."
"Everyone needs to keep working hard. The monthly exam is coming up soon. Everyone needs to get back into the swing of things this weekend and review their studies well. We must make sure we don't fall behind in any of the monthly exams. Our class must change the stereotype that top students are good at academics but not sports. Our class needs to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically."
"Does everyone have confidence?" Teacher Lu's tone became increasingly forceful.
When I passed by Class 1 after school, the other students thought I had stumbled into some innovative pyramid scheme, because the people inside were shouting like crazy, as if they had been injected with stimulants.
"have."
After the class quieted down, Teacher Lu said, "Alright, I've said my piece. I won't assign any homework this weekend. You can review and fill in any gaps in your knowledge yourselves. School's out!"
Xia Minmin was about to lock the door, but she didn't rush to pack her schoolbag.
After everyone in the classroom had left, she and Tang Meng walked out of the school gate.
As soon as Xia Minmin reached the school gate, she saw two very familiar figures. It was her parents. Xia Minmin was extremely curious; how did they have time to come?
For the past month or two, they've been busy with their two shops, and the family hasn't even had time to sit down and eat together.
Tang Meng noticed and patted Xia Minmin on the shoulder, "Xiaomin, I'm going home first. Your parents are probably here to pick you up for dinner."
"Aren't you coming? Let's grab something to eat together, since your parents will be back late anyway."
Tang Meng shook her head.
Li Chunmei stood outside the school and said to Xia Minmin, "Xiaomin! Your mom and dad are here to pick you up today."
After saying goodbye to Li Chunmei and Xia Jianguo, Tang Meng left alone.
Xia Jianguo took the schoolbag off Xia Minmin's shoulder and carried it in his hand.
Xia Minmin felt much more relaxed, and her tone became lighter, "Mom and Dad, how come you had time to come over?"
Li Chunmei put her hand on Xia Minmin's shoulder and said, "My little Minmin has worked hard these past couple of months. Everything at the shop has been arranged, and she will be able to come home on time every night from now on. She will also have dinner with you on weekends."
Xia Jianguo always walked on the outermost edge of the road; it was his consistent style. Whenever he was around, he was always the one standing on the outermost edge.
"Yes, we were both too busy before and didn't have time to take care of you. You went to school too early and we didn't see you, and we came home too late and we didn't run into you either. We probably won't have seen each other for more than three days in the next month or two."
Xia Minmin remained silent. It was true. They were all too intense. Apart from the occasional dinner together, they hadn't been able to sit down and have a quiet chat for a long time.
"Let's eat out today, at your favorite hot pot restaurant."
"Great! It's been so long since I've had hot pot, I want it extra spicy."
Xia Jianguo left Xia Minmin's schoolbag at the small supermarket, and the family went to the hot pot restaurant.
The hot pot restaurant was packed with people on the weekend, and Xia Minmin finished three plates of melon seeds before it was their turn.
By this time, her stomach was growling loudly from hunger.
Xia Jianguo quickly ordered the essential hot pot dishes for Li Chunmei and Xia Minmin, saying, "Please hurry! We're starving."
The waiter nodded and hurriedly went to the kitchen.
In less than three minutes, the steaming hot pot broth was served, and the waiter turned the heat up to the maximum.
The food preparation staff also brought it over on a small cart.
Xia Minmin quickly ran to the condiment area, prepared six dishes of condiments, and made three trips before finally serving them on the table.
As soon as she sat down, Xia Jianguo put a few pieces of fish tofu and beef tripe into her bowl.
Li Chunmei, watching her daughter eagerly stuff the food into her mouth, said, "Be careful, it'll burn your mouth."
Xia Minmin frantically stuffed her stomach, and only stopped to enjoy her meal slowly after her stomach felt slightly full.
Xia Minmin noticed that Xia Jianguo and Li Chunmei's condiment dishes were still very clean.
"Mom and Dad, why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"
Li Chunmei scooped out various meatballs from the pot and placed them in the condiment dishes for each person. "I'm not very hungry. Before I came to pick you up, your father and I ate some fruit."
Xia Jianguo poured all the shrimp paste from the plate into the pot, saying, "Eat as much as you like. Don't worry about me and your mother."
Her condiment dish was stuffed full of food by Li Chunmei and Xia Jianguo.
"Xiaomin, how was your sports meet?"
"Not bad, I got the monthly rotating red flag."
"What about you? I heard from your mom that you participated in quite a few events. Did you win any medals?"
Speaking of this, Xia Minmin became a little smug, "Wasn't it mandatory? I won one gold medal, two silver medals, and one bronze medal."
Li Chunmei looked at her daughter with a smile in her eyes, "You're so clever! What gift do you want? I'll have your dad buy it for you."
"That's really impressive! I never knew my Xiaomin was such an athletic star! Just tell Daddy what you like, and he'll buy it for you!"
Xia Minmin quickly said, "I want the egg tarts from the university town. I heard they've been developing a lot of new flavors lately, but I haven't had time to buy them."
Seeing their daughter's serious expression, Xia Jianguo and Li Chunmei thought she would choose a particularly expensive gift, but to their surprise, it was an egg tart.
"Okay, Dad will buy it for you tomorrow morning, and try to make sure you can have a hot meal when you come back at noon. I'll buy you every flavor."
After finishing their hot pot meal, the family went to the mall to digest.
Li Chunmei walked outside the outdoor brand store and said, "I haven't paid close attention to Xiaomin for two months. She seems to have grown quite a bit taller, and her clothes at home are probably too small now."
Xia Jianguo also noticed that his daughter's pants seemed a bit short. "The pants we need to buy are all too short, and the shoes we need to buy are probably too small too."
Li Chunmei said, "These shoes aren't suitable for everyday wear. They'll make you slip and fall in the rain. They're fine for hiking though. Didn't you say you wanted to go hiking? Let's buy a pair for each of us, and we can go hiking together every Sunday morning, okay?"
"That's a great idea. This will become a regular activity for our family from now on. It will not only help us exercise but also relax us."
