Zhou Xiaoyun and Da Bao rode their bikes to Yingming Middle School early in the morning. Today was a big day for Da Bao's competition.
In the morning, Zhao 'Yu' Zhen specially got up early to make noodles for Da Bao to eat and said "Eat full and have energy to run".
Dabao nodded and ate two large bowls of noodles with three poached eggs, but when he wanted to eat more, Zhou Xiaoyun reminded him: "Brother, you shouldn't eat too much either. People say that when running, you can't eat too full, otherwise you won't be able to run."
This makes sense, Dabao remembered that his physical education teacher had also said something similar, telling him to eat until he was about 80% full in the morning. If he ate too much and felt bloated, how could he have the energy to run?
Zhao 'Yu' Zhen was a bit flustered: "It's all my fault, why did I have to let Dabao eat more? He's already eaten two big bowls, won't that be too much?"
Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and comforted Zhao Yujuan: "Mom, don't be so surprised. I've only heard that you shouldn't eat too much, but I haven't heard that you can't eat at all. If you're starving, your legs will go weak, how can you run? Brother's appetite is huge, eating this much is probably about 80% full, just right!"
Dabao nodded repeatedly: "What Daliao said is right, I can still eat another bowl under normal circumstances. This morning I ate two bowls just right, and now I won't eat anymore, let's set off."
Xiao Bao saw his brother riding away with a proud and energetic expression, and hurriedly waved goodbye saying: "Brother, run well and come back with first prize!" Although they were just joking around, the brothers' feelings for each other were genuine. Xiao Bao only liked to playfully tease his brother, but in his heart he truly hoped his brother could win a prize and come back.
"Just you wait!" Da Bao laughed and turned back.
The track and field events officially started after 10:00 in the morning, while other competition events basically came to an end.
Five contestants crouched down on the ground, ready to start. With a gunshot, the boys sprinted out quickly. The short 100 meters made the contestants exert their utmost strength and effort, hoping to be the first to cross the finish line.
That red ribbon is getting closer and closer, Dabao has always been in the lead. At this time, he added a bit of strength to run and finally rushed across the finish line first.
Zhou Xiaoyun cheered happily at the other end of the track.
Brother, you're really something.
The 100m competition is divided into five groups, and the top ten with the shortest time are selected to participate in the final.
Dabao was undoubtedly selected, and when watching other teams' matches, Dabao's heart felt much lighter.
Zhou Xiaoyun had prepared water for Dabao to drink, and after Dabao finished drinking, he went to the toilet within two minutes. Zhou Xiaoyun was both angry and amused, and could only point out the direction for Dabao to hurry up and come back quickly.
Just one minute before the final whistle, Da Bao finally rushed back.
Ten people were divided into two groups, and the top six were determined based on their running times.
Dabao saw Zhou Xiaoyun's tense appearance and confidently made a "V" gesture to signal her to relax.
Zhou Xiaoyun saw Da Bao's confident appearance and finally put her mind at ease a little. It was strange, since Da Bao was competing, why was her heart beating so fiercely!
Zhou Xiaoyun's joke himself
I'm so nervous, but the people competing don't seem nervous at all and have no idea how tense we spectators are.
It's easy to imagine this is what he thought, but the fact that his heart was stuck in his throat was undeniable.
Older brother Da Bao, you must work harder!
Dabao is in the second group, and with his experience, Dabao made a final effort to take the lead and surprisingly ran first in this group again.
After the results were counted, Da Bao used the least amount of time and was the real deal, first place!
Zhou Xiaoyun was laughing and jumping with joy, let alone Da Bao's excitement.
Dabao's physical education teacher and classmates all came over to congratulate Dabao, who was praised to the point of being overwhelmed.
At noon, when having lunch at San Shu's home, heard that Da Bao ran the first 100 meters and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Hurriedly instructed Da Bao to eat more meat, good for running the 1500 meters in the afternoon.
Da Bao's mouth was stuffed with meat and he kept nodding.
Zhou Zhiyuan has always been a smooth talker, giving a thumbs up and saying: "Dabao Ge, you're really amazing! With so many people participating in the competition, it's no wonder you won first place. I really admire you!"
Dabao couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, thinking to himself that when he got home, he would boast in front of Xiaobao and Er Ya, haha!
Song Mingli let Dabao finish his meal and rest on Zhou Zhiyuan's 'bed' for an hour, fearing that the noise would disturb Dabao, she even took Zhou Zhiyuan out for a walk around the block.
When Da Bao gets up, his spirit is refreshed, and he says that running 1500 meters to be the first is no problem.
Zhou Xiao
Yun reminded him: "Brother, long-distance running is different from short-distance running. You can't run at the front from the beginning, you should accelerate in the last lap and save your strength before that."
"Don't worry, we've gone over this many times during training, I'll be careful."
The track and field events ended at 4 pm in the afternoon, with only the long-distance running event left.
First is 400 meters relay, then comes 800 meters, and finally there is 1500 meters.
There are about twenty participants in the 1500 meters race, and it is said that only the top six will be selected.
This 1500 meters is not easy to run, this long runway has to be run for five laps. Many players can't hold on after three laps and several have quit halfway through the race.
Dabao started running in the middle, but by the third lap he had moved up to third place. By the fourth lap, he had risen to second place. It looked like it was going to be a thrilling final lap.
Dabao felt his legs getting heavier and heavier, with sweat dripping down one drop at a time, as if the final lap seemed to have no end in sight.
Suddenly heard a familiar shout: "Brother, come and drink water."
It turned out that Zhou Xiaoyun was running with him in the inner circle!
Dabao ran while drinking, finishing half a bottle of water before handing it back to Zhou Xiaoyun.
With Zhou Xiaoyun's smile and encouragement, Dabao began to speed up on this last leg of the journey.
"Brother, come on!" Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't keep up with Dabao's pace, but her shouting voice reached Dabao's ears.
A great treasure, one drum beats
He finally overtook the boy who had been in front of him all along and reached the finish line first.
Classmates, hurry up and hold onto Da Bao, take him for a slow walk and then sit down to rest. If you sit down suddenly after intense exercise, your body can't handle it.
Zhou Xiaoyun also ran over, accompanied by Dabao on the grass for a few minutes, then took out the bread she bought in the small shop.
Dabao ate it without hesitation in a few mouthfuls and then drank two more sips of water.
Sitting on the grass, panting heavily, Da Bao smiled and said: "Zhou Xiaoyun, look at brother's performance today?"
Filled with pride!
Zhou Xiaoyun's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice was choked with emotion: "Brother, you've always been great! Today's performance is super awesome!"
You are the best and most excellent brother in my heart!
