Chapter 119
The provincial sports meet lasted two days. The first morning was a general meeting with speeches and formations.
Originally, Jian Li was just there to join in the marching, but before it started, the head teacher looked around and called her over.
"How tall are you?"
Jian Li hesitated for a moment: "1.69 meters!"
Before the female leader could say anything, the boys got anxious.
"Impossible, you must be 1.75 meters tall!"
Jian Li stood next to him and was only half a head shorter than him. If Jian Li was 1.75 meters tall, how tall was he?
Jian Li chuckled and said, "Teacher, I'm definitely not 1.75 meters tall." She measured herself last month and was 1.72 meters tall.
The boy blushed: "Then your shoes must be too high!"
No matter what, he refused to admit that his height of 1.80 meters was exaggerated.
The head teacher raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's too late. So, Jian Li, you come to the front. The other one...who is that, ask Chen Ping to come over here!"
The leading boy and girl handed over their flags, and the boy said, "I'm really 1.80 meters tall" before walking back to the team.
Jian Li held up the flag and was rushed to the front of the team.
Chen Ping was called to the front by the head teacher and shuddered when he saw Jian Li.
"Chen Ping, you and Jian Li will lead the team together."
Chen Ping: …
This Chen Ping is the boy who was scolded by Jian Li and made to cry before.
Chen Ping felt like crying after being given a difficult task by his head teacher. He took the flag and stood next to Jian Li trembling with fear.
The last time he was scolded by Jian Li for being rude left such a deep impression on Chen Ping that now he tends to avoid Jian Li.
Jian Li held up the flag and felt like she was Xiao Zuanfeng in Journey to the West.
The team was still being adjusted by the class teacher at the back, and Jian Li was humming a song while carrying the flag on her shoulder.
"The king asked me to patrol the mountains..."
Chen Ping secretly looked at Jian Li. Jian Li had a high ponytail today and was wearing white sneakers. Everyone else's school uniform looked like a cotton bag, but it didn't look bulky on her. Especially when Jian Li squinted her eyes while singing, she looked...
Chen Ping lowered his head, his heart pounding.
Sometimes I feel so lucky today to be able to carry the flag with Jian Li, and sometimes I feel lost.
If you think about it carefully, Jian Li is obviously a very good classmate. As long as the classmates in the same class go to her mother's store, she will give them more weight. Jian Li is the same in school. No matter who asks her questions, she will patiently answer them. Sometimes she will even take the initiative to ask the teacher if she doesn't understand a question, and then explain it to her classmates after asking...
Ahhh, why was I so mean in the first place!
Jian Li didn't care about Chen Ping's mental journey. She carried the flag when the teacher asked her to do so. After walking through the formation, she ran straight to the club's gathering place.
"Hurry, hurry, open our stall!"
Song Tao and Wu Feiran helped to open the folding table. Lin Shuyao held a large stack of plastic cups, while Cheng Yu and Jian Li put the milk tea in the thermos on the table.
With a bucket of milk tea, Jian Li also took advantage of the situation to make some money from her family.
Crushed peanuts, hawthorn slices...
There are also pearls that Jian Li rubbed herself.
The words "Milk Tea" were written in large letters on the thermos bucket, and Jian Li was shaking a fan made from paper torn from an exercise book.
"Let's take turns. I'll run the relay in the afternoon."
Of the five people, Song Tao, Wu Feiran and Lin Shuyao all had projects in the morning, so only Cheng Yu and Jian Li were left at the stall.
Cheng Yu took a cup of milk tea. The icy milk tea had a different flavor from yesterday. Cheng Yu loved the pearls in it the most. They were bouncy when chewed.
"It seems our class lost the first event."
Jian Li: “Isn’t that normal?”
There are sports students in ordinary classes. In the past, these specially recruited students would only be the teachers' headaches. But now, when the sports meet comes, the headaches have suddenly become the teachers' headaches.
Cheng Yu bent down and twisted the spout of the milk tea: "Oh, do you think our class will end up being the last in the grade?"
Jian Li: "Who knows, there is also Class 2."
"Class 2 seemed to say that someone had studied martial arts for several years."
Jian Li: "...Cheng Yu."
Cheng Yu drank a circle of milk beard and looked up blankly: "Huh?"
"If you finish this bucket, we'll be last."
Cheng Yu: ...
The morning competition passed quickly, and Jian Li and Cheng Yu took turns to cheer for their own classes. Unfortunately, Class 1 still did not win any of the top three places.
Class 2 already has a first place in high jump!
Originally, the class came with the intention of participating, after all, there were many nerds in the class, and everyone knew it.
But that doesn't mean they can accept being last!
Why is Class 2 ahead of Class 1?
The students in Class 1 finished the competition hastily, and came to the logistics department dejectedly to drink water.
"Look at how proud Class 2 is!"
"No, we can't let Class 2 overwhelm us!"
"That's right. When I think about how we'll be ranked last and how the people in Class 2 will laugh at us... Shit, we must get first place this afternoon!"
"There's no hope for track and field, as all the places have been taken up by those sports students. We can consider working harder on table tennis and basketball."
"Basketball is out of the question. Class 4 has a very strong forward."
"The ping-pong ball..."
…
A group of people walked past Jian Li's stall without stopping.
Cheng Yu: ...
That’s too much!
Jian Li patted her on the shoulder: "Hey, hey, hey, don't be so anxious."
There are still people behind, and according to the current situation, the water prepared by the big clubs will definitely run out in the afternoon, and their milk tea will definitely be distributed by then.
In the afternoon, Jian Li ran a relay race, and Class 1 unfortunately came in second place.
As for basketball, of course there is no hope.
After the first day's blow, all the students in Class 1 were dejected.
Jian Li and several other classmates received the second place certificate and returned to the booth.
"How is it, is anyone there?"
Her four members sat in a row, looking like a bunch of depressed fools.
Song Tao, one of the ground eggs, said: "Jian Li, I admit that what you made is delicious, but everyone went to drink water, and we don't have any cookies here."
"Yeah, yeah, let's just forget about it. Let's pack up and divide this stuff up."
Jian Li also had a sad face. She opened the lid of the thermos and took a smell.
At noon she added some ice cubes into the tea. By this time the ice cubes were almost melting, but the temperature of the milk tea was still good.
"That shouldn't be the case..."
Kong Fei walked over surrounded by people and saw Jian Li from a distance.
Jian Li seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw: "Kong Fei, Kong Fei! Come here!"
Kong Fei was so nervous that he didn't know whether to step with his left foot or his right foot.
Jian Li was unusually enthusiastic and went over to greet him with a cup of milk tea.
"You must be tired. Come and try our club's milk tea."
Kong Fei drank it all in one breath.
Jian Li: "Isn't it delicious? I made it myself, you can promote it to us."
Kong Fei's ears turned red: "Okay."
Seeing that the other party was so easy to talk to, Jian Li immediately started chatting with him enthusiastically.
"Your class won first place in basketball, right? Congratulations."
Kong Fei wanted to tell Jian Li that he was a forward, but his mouth seemed to be stuck with milk tea and he couldn't say anything.
Jian Li talked for a long time, her mouth dry and she couldn't help asking, "Didn't you tell me to send someone?"
This person, is he addicted to listening to nice words?
Kong Fei: ...
Not long after Kong Fei returned, he came with a group of boys. All of them were wearing basketball uniforms and looked like sports students.
"Kong Fei, is this the delicious milk tea you mentioned?"
"What is this? I just saw it from a distance and thought it was hot water or something. I was wondering why you would use hot water at this time. Are you going to scald someone to death?"
"Is this cool or hot?"
Jian Li quickly interrupted: "It's cool, if you guys taste it, please vote for our club."
Cups of brown milk tea were brought out, and the group of athletes drank them down in just a few gulps.
"Don't mention it, it tastes pretty good."
"Another one, with some pearls."
“I want one too!”
…
Jian Li's stall quickly attracted popularity. People were like this. They thought stalls that were not crowded were average. If there were really people queuing up, everyone would subconsciously think that the food must be good.
Jian Li happily sold out all her milk tea.
Many people also said they would vote for her club.
Jian Li packed up the empty bucket and patted Kong Fei on the shoulder: "Thank you, when we win first place, I'll treat you to grilled sausage."
Kong Fei hummed.
Jian Li packed up her things, tied the bucket to the back seat and took it back to the store, then started making milk tea for the next day.
The next day was beyond Jian Li's expectation. As soon as the tea was put on the table in the morning, many people came to drink it. Many people did not even participate in the competition, but came just to drink milk tea.
In less than two hours, the whole bucket of milk tea was emptied.
Cheng Yu looked at the bottom of the bucket with a bit of regret: "There's nothing left."
Jian Li: "It's no big deal. Just prepare some tea at the weekend and I'll go to your house and make two buckets for you."
Cheng Yu was instantly happy again, and excitedly whispered to Jian Li: "My dad brought back two cakes of tea leaves a few days ago. I think this one is the best. Let's cook them both."
Song Tao ran out from the registration office and said excitedly: "Our club is ranked third now!"
This is not easy!
Jian Li clapped her hands: "Come on, let's go canvass for votes ourselves."
The top three students all received certificates, but Jian Li still did not dare to relax. In this sports meet, Class 1 was destined to come in last, and her club could not come in last!
In the afternoon, she originally wanted to find a few more classmates to canvass for votes, but Cheng Yu called her anxiously.
"Zhou Miaomiao, who ran 1,500 meters, sprained her ankle! The Sports Commissioner wants you to come over and take her place!"
