Chapter 64 Hand Exercises
It turned out that in addition to daily speed training, Venus added hand strength exercises for them.
When Zhang Wei got up early in the morning to study, he saw Venus instructing Kerry to move a shelf and install it in the place where they trained in the morning.
She was seizing the time to complete today's learning tasks. Since she developed the habit of reading and reciting every morning, her speed in memorizing words has gradually improved a lot. At least now she only needs to memorize new words within one or two minutes based on the pronunciation and spelling structure of the words.
However, this shorthand needs to be consolidated in time, otherwise it will be easily forgotten.
Zhang Wei still remembers learning Ebbinghaus's memory forgetting curve in college, and then consolidating the previous knowledge every two weeks. So far, it can be said that her vocabulary has reached the level of an adult native speaker.
However, the new Spanish language she has just learned is still in the introductory stage. Zhang Wei believes that with time, she will slowly find the knack of learning it, just like learning English.
When she heard the sound of the door opening next door, it meant that Namir was up, so she packed her things and prepared to go downstairs for training.
"What is this?" Namir touched the iron frame that had just appeared on the lawn.
There's no rust on this iron rack. The cylindrical iron rods are shiny black, and it looks like they've been polished after a long period of use. It looks a little familiar...
"Isn't this the iron rod on the stable for tying the horse rope?" Zhang Wei suddenly remembered.
Venus's voice immediately rushed them off to training:
"Didn't you say you wanted to learn something new?! What are you still dawdling about? Hurry and finish today's training mission!"
"I thought I didn't need to do the previous training..." Namir muttered, but his body immediately started crawling exercises before Zhang Wei.
After the two of them finished their twenty-minute training session, Venus led them to the iron frame. When she held Zhang Wei's hand, she instantly understood what kind of training this was...
Yes, is there anything better than pull-ups to test hand strength?
When she was in school, she had never heard of any girls who could do this.
Venus first lifted Namir up and asked him to hold the iron rod with both hands to keep still. Then Namir grabbed it steadily and turned his head to look at Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei: Hanging on the horizontal bar! I don't think I can hang on for more than a few seconds...
Zhang Wei looked at the height of the shelf. It should be less than 1.7 meters, after all, not as tall as Venus.
She was prepared to fall after a few seconds of holding on, and held on tightly as Venus lifted her up.
But when she counted to five in her mind, she was really out of strength and her hands loosened. Before she fell to the ground, Venus grabbed her clothes and put her down.
Then he said to Namir, "That's enough. Squat down to cushion the impact when you get down."
Then with a "bang", Namir jumped steadily onto the grass.
"Okay, that's all for today." Venus said and... left...
Namier scratched his head. "Didn't she say she was going to teach new skills?"
"Why did she leave? Was it because you fell and couldn't practice?"
"No, we are still young and our bones are still growing. We cannot stretch them excessively." Zhang Wei tried to save face.
Namir continued to sprinkle salt: "But I don't feel uncomfortable. I guess I didn't overdose!"
Zhang Wei thought about it. Namir was hanging for almost a minute, but he only held on for a few seconds. It seemed that even if he learned something else now, he would not be able to learn it. As an ordinary person, he still had to proceed step by step.
Seeing Namier jumping under the horizontal bar and reaching for it with his hands, he was afraid that he might pull a muscle, so he threatened:
"If you keep hanging on, you won't grow taller!"
"Who said that?" Namir was a little skeptical.
Zhang Wei was speechless for a moment. If she wanted to talk about what was written in the book, she couldn't produce any book.
He said that according to the teacher, they were in the same class.
All I can say is: "I saw it on the computer. You can ask Venus."
Then Namier said to Zhang Wei proudly in the afternoon:
"Vera, you're completely wrong! I checked the information!"
Then the following words left Zhang Wei dumbfounded, and reminded her not to speak nonsense here.
"Height is determined by genes and gender. Just look at Dad and Leida, and you'll know I won't grow short. Besides, I eat a lot, so I'm well-nourished. Even though I haven't reached puberty yet, I think I'll grow taller healthily."
"Besides, Venus taught us that exercise can stretch bones. Maybe I can grow taller than Dad. Look, Leida is a little taller than Dad."
"So, you can't lie. I can grow taller. You need to apologize to me."
Namir waited earnestly for her apology.
Zhang Wei swallowed her saliva and organized her words. How should she argue? Oh no, how should she explain?
"Well, Namir, I think you may not have heard clearly what I said before. I was saying that if you continue hanging on the horizontal bar, your bones are relatively fragile and may not be able to withstand it. The consequence will be damage to your bones and muscles, which will disrupt your natural growth pattern and prevent you from growing taller."
"Did you say so many words at that time?" Namir scratched his head and recalled.
Thanks to his good memory! Zhang Wei added:
"Well, although I didn't say that much, that's exactly what I meant, Namir. If I misunderstood you, I apologize now."
This time Zhang Wei was sincere: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Namir was very generous. He nodded and said, "Okay, that sounds reasonable. I forgive you. But if what you said is indeed harmful, come with me to check it out!"
You really can't talk casually to a child who is too serious. Zhang Wei feels that she needs to change this speaking habit that she had formed unconsciously in the past.
She remembered that her teacher would always say this since she was a child: "If you can't finish your homework, don't come to class tomorrow!" In fact, the teacher never stopped anyone from going to class.
The leader said: "If the task is not completed, everyone can go back to growing sweet potatoes!" In fact, he did not have this right.
Zhang Wei said to her father, "I will never bother you again. I will stay away from your life."
In fact, when she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, she would secretly check out his circle of friends and his new family.
Zhang Wei thought about it and felt that any words spoken at such times, whether venting or threatening, actually stemmed from helplessness and lack of confidence.
If Zhang Wei was confident that she could persuade Namir with reason, then she wouldn't need to scare her.
In fact, she can do it. Namir is not an unreasonable child, so the real situation is that she is still not confident enough in herself.
Another part was her contempt for Namir, the contempt she felt as a mentally adult towards a seven-year-old child, and she suddenly realized that this was a huge problem.
If she can't overcome this, she may never have friends of her age as she grows up.
