Chapter 52 The Girl Was Praised
When new students first enter school, their physical education classes also require them to learn radio gymnastics.
After everyone finished running 1,200 meters, Teacher Niu did not disband the team to move freely, but asked Xu Cailing to gather everyone together again.
The boys and girls’ stamina bars are very short, but because they are young, their stamina bars recover quickly. After a few minutes of rest, most of the students are fine.
Through the running test just now, Niu Wengang also had a general understanding of the physical fitness of his classmates.
He stood at the front of the team and said loudly:
"Studying is important, but we can't relax our physical training. A healthy body leads to good grades. You are still young and don't understand the importance of health. We will have a run like this in every class. I hope I don't see any students falling behind as badly as they did today."
"With the current education reform, the importance of physical education has become much higher than before. Maybe starting from your class, physical education scores will also be included in the statistics of the high school entrance examination."
"I don't need to tell you much about the importance of this, I think you all know it now."
"knew--"
Liu Zhiyi was also responding with everyone else, but her heart skipped a beat. She thought she could just get away with it in PE class, but she didn't expect it might count towards the score in the high school entrance exam?! This could be the end of her life! It seems like she'll have to exercise more in the future...
Some were happy while others were sad. Xu Cailing, who was standing by, became excited. If physical education was also counted, wouldn't she easily get full marks in the high school entrance exam?! When she tells her parents about it later, she can brag about getting full marks in a subject!
"There are still twenty-five minutes left in this class. Let's just learn some radio exercises."
Teacher Niu looked at the watch and asked, "Have you ever learned this exercise in elementary school?"
"No--"
Well, not surprising.
Liu Zhiyi had learned it before, but she never liked attracting attention, so she kept silent after learning it.
In fact, she was not good at learning. As long as it was related to sports, even if it was dance or radio gymnastics that focused on body coordination, she would practice it in a mess...
Just pretend you haven't learned it before and practice it again with everyone...
"If you haven't learned it before, you must learn it now! Don't let me see you standing still in the playground during morning exercises. Even if you don't know how to do it, you must practice the movements!"
Niu Wengang's voice was very serious. Although he also felt that the radio gymnastics was more of a form than a function, it was related to his performance after all. No matter what, he had to keep his iron rice bowl as a physical education teacher. Adults of his age actually didn't have that many choices.
Teacher Niu's appearance was intimidating to begin with. It was not an exaggeration to say that he looked like he had ten lives on his shoulders. Coupled with his stern tone, the students in the class were greatly frightened. Even Xu Cailing suspected that Teacher Niu's seemingly easy-going appearance just now was an illusion...
"Everyone line up, spread out at arm's length!"
"..."
Hula la, everyone quickly dispersed and stood in place.
"Xu Cailing, you are the sports committee member, you should stand at the front. From now on, when we do exercises, you should stand at the front and lead the exercises!"
"Oh, okay..."
The girl on the far left of the first row hurried out upon hearing the sound and stood alone at the front of the line.
"Let me demonstrate it to you. Don't be distracted. Watch carefully and learn from it!"
Niu Wengang is very good at taking advantage of his intimidating appearance, which makes his gentle personality make it much easier for him to teach this group of naughty students.
He walked to the front where everyone had the widest field of vision, and while reciting commands, he demonstrated the movements of the radio gymnastics "The Times Are Calling" at a slow speed.
At that time in the morning, everyone had seen the second and third grade students doing gymnastics, and were deeply impressed by these embarrassing gymnastics moves. They didn't want to learn or do them from the bottom of their hearts.
But I didn’t expect that the same action, performed by different people, would have different effects.
When I watch Teacher Niu's gymnastics movements now, I always feel that he is so full of power, like a steel giant. Although his body seems bulky, he is punching, kicking, running and jumping flexibly and powerfully. For some reason, I feel like he is practicing martial arts!
Fang Wei blinked, also a little surprised...
Perhaps it is because of each person's different personality and temperament that leads to such completely different visual effects?
Soon, Teacher Niu demonstrated the gymnastics completely.
He turned around and faced everyone.
"Did you see everything clearly?"
"I see clearly—"
"The movements are not difficult to learn, nor will they look ugly. The key is how you think about it. If you feel shy, your movements will not be able to stretch out, and you will become coy and timid like a little girl, looking around. What are you looking at? Are you Cecilia Cheung or Nicholas Tse? No one will look at you! The less you dare to do the movements, the uglier they will look!"
"Don't underestimate radio gymnastics. It's more reliable than most fitness exercises. Doing the exercises well is enough to meet your daily fitness needs. Now I teach you for free, so why complain?" "Practice well, learn well! Come on, start practicing with me! 1234, 5678! 2234, 5678! ..."
It turns out that what Mr. Niu said really had some effect. The students who were originally shy to do the movements now started practicing with him.
At the beginning, everyone was somewhat shy, thinking that the posture was flamboyant and outgoing, which was not in line with the education of restraint and humility engraved in their bones since childhood. But as they practiced, they gradually relaxed a lot. The main reason was that everyone was practicing, so they followed the crowd mentality. It was naturally not so shameful when there were people accompanying them...
Xu Cailing, who was standing alone at the front of the team, had no one to accompany her.
But the girl adapted very quickly. She was too embarrassed to do anything at first. She always felt that everyone behind her was looking at her, which made her very shy...
But after practicing slowly, Xu Cailing found that this thing was quite fun... jumping around and stuff, it didn't seem difficult at all.
Then, as the last bit of burden in her heart dissipated, her talent in sports was revealed. Basically, she could learn the movements demonstrated by Teacher Niu after watching them once, and she became quite proficient after practicing them two or three times.
After becoming proficient, her self-confidence increased, and her entire personality and temperament were revealed along with her movements, creating a completely different visual effect from Teacher Niu. She appeared to be quite sunny, lively and agile.
Later on, the other students in the class stopped watching Teacher Niu's movements and instead looked at Xu Cailing, who was at the front of the line, to learn her movements. After all, the girl who was practicing with her back to them not only had very standard movements but was also very beautiful, and it was very pleasing to the eye when she did the radio gymnastics.
The setting sun passed over the wall from the west and fell on the girl who was practicing radio gymnastics, dyeing her golden.
She raised her hands above her head, then bent down to touch her toes, and twisted her waist a few times. Each movement seemed smooth and rhythmic.
The girl's body lines, as flexible as a small peach tree, were fully displayed. Every movement was precise and her steps were light and powerful.
She jumped, kicked, and turned, and each movement was coordinated with her breathing, showing her body's flexibility and control to the fullest.
The short and cute ponytail behind her head swayed with her movements, making her look youthful and beautiful.
This doesn't feel like radio gymnastics, it feels more like dancing!
After a while, Xu Cailing, who was studying hard, turned around and found that her classmates were all looking at her. She felt shy and her movements became a little out of shape...
You still need to train your mentality!
If only I could be as shameless as Fang Wei——
The girl thought.
……
Fortunately, Niu Wengang has no intention of teaching them exercises today and letting them perform on stage tomorrow. There is still a lot of time, so just take it slow.
The performance of most students in the class was average. I can’t say I was too satisfied, but at least they were cooperative.
Probably the only thing that surprised Teacher Niu was the sports committee member Xu Cailing.
Strictly speaking, radio gymnastics is also a sport. I thought the girl was just better than her peers at running, but I didn't expect that her physical coordination and learning abilities are so outstanding. She is indeed a good athlete.
With the last five minutes before get out of class ended, Teacher Niu called everyone together and said a few simple words:
"The radio exercises are not difficult, but you have to practice a lot. We will practice like this in every class from now on. If you want to be free earlier, you should practice together early. Otherwise, we will keep practicing until you all know how to do it."
"Xu Cailing, you did a great job on the radio exercises. If other students don't know how to do it, you should help them."
"Oh, good!"
The girl readily agreed. Helping classmates is what she should do as a female knight!
The key point is, she received a lot of praise in this physical education class, which made her very happy!
After all, my grades are usually so-so, so I have never received any praise...
"Okay, get out of class is over. If you have nothing to do, go home early!"
"..."
There are still three or five minutes left before the get out of class ends. Usually, if Niu Wengang's physical education class is the last class, he will end the get out of class three or five minutes early as a small benefit for these boys and girls.
"What? You don't want to leave? Didn't you bring your schoolbag down with you?"
“Thank you, teacher—!”
Everyone came to their senses and ran happily towards their schoolbags thrown in the corner, talking and laughing, walking in groups towards the school gate or the cafeteria.
Those who don’t delay classes are all good teachers;
And Teacher Niu who ended the get out of class early...can he be called a big buffalo? He is a very strong angel!
