Strange Life of a Cat

After the 100-meter preliminaries, the 1,500-meter preparation.

Everyone in the first class of the first year of junior high school knew that the only one in their class who ran 1,500 was the bad student Fu Lei who was said to be a bad student who fought hard and often skipped classes. Many people don't really have much enthusiasm for cheering, but at this time in the morning, there is only the 1,500-meter event, and the 100-meter final will be after that.

Some people who watched the 100-meter preliminaries sat beside them and ate melon seeds leisurely, talked about what they had just seen and heard, and wentssip about which class really ran first.

Jiao Yuan and Xiong Xiong were the only ones who accompanied Fu Lei to the 1,500-meter starting point. Fu Lei himself didn't care at all whether other people came to cheer, anyway, they were all insignificant people.

Zheng Tan was lying sideways on the background wall, with his head casually resting on the edge, looking at the world that had rotated ninety degrees, occasionally shaking his ears twice because the hair on his ears was tickled by the blowing wind.

The current 1,500 meters only started, and Fu Lei and the other class were relatively close. A dozen or so people lined up to run around the inner lane, and Fu Lei belonged to the middle and rear. But Zheng Tan saw him like that and knew that he didn't feel nervous at all.

During the first lap, there were not many cheering people, and only occasionally a few shouts were heard around the playground, but slowly, during the second and third laps, the gap between the dozen or so people became larger and larger. It is getting bigger and bigger, and some people in the class are already anxious.

On the third lap, some people withdrew automatically, but others, even if they were at the end, ran very slowly and persisted.

Fu Lei ranked fifth, and the top five were relatively close together. Someone in the first class was excited. Even if he was the last fifth, the class could still get four points.

On the fourth lap, the sound of refueling became louder. One lap of the school sports field is more than 300 meters, and it takes a little more than four laps to run 1,500 meters. Many people like to start accelerating on the last lap, and the first two have already started. Speeding up, the people behind were not far behind, except Fu Lei.

Seeing that Fu Lei was about to be overtaken by the sixth place, the people in the first class were in a hurry, and the sunflower seed eaters couldn't sit still, so they squeezed to the side of the track and shouted cheers with the rest of the class.

Zheng Tan looked over at Jiao Yuan and the others. They were more anxious to urinate than anyone else, their faces turned red, but they didn't make a sound. It wasn't until Fu Lei obviously started to speed up that the few who had been holding in for a long time started to urinate. Roaring with a thick neck, he wished he could go up and run for him.

The finish line has been pulled up, Fu Lei's speed is getting faster and faster, the fourth and third place also feel the pressure, but their legs are not in control, they are almost at the limit.

Starting from Jiao Yuan and the others, leading a group of people to start cheering for Fu Lei, Shi Rui ran directly to the commander's platform and snatched the microphone from the announcer's hand and shouted cheers in line with Jiao Yuan's rhythm. The announcer glared a few times and ignored it.

There were also some second and third graders who joined in the fun and shouted. After a few shouts, they asked the first graders next to them, "Who is Fu Lei?"

The student who was wearing glasses and who was in an unknown class adjusted his glasses, "According to the sound of their yelling, it's either the first two, or the one behind who rushed forward as if he had been injected with chicken blood."

For the first time, Fu Lei felt his own strong sense of existence. He heard those people shouting: "Fu Lei—Come on!"

This seemed to be the first time that Fu Lei's name was called out by so many people on such a big occasion. No longer look at him with that kind of alienated and disdainful eyes, and no longer look at him as a poor student. At this moment, he carries the hope of the whole class.

What is a sense of collective honor?

Fu Lei always disdained it before, but now, he seems to understand. There is no need to deliberately do or express anything. When something happens, when the situation is ripe, this feeling arises naturally and uncontrollably.

What was originally thought to be just a symbolic thing has become a real existence, and all emotions have gained a strong support point, igniting the long-lost enthusiasm for the first place. It's like going back to that small village and fighting for a wooden trophy, but this time it's even worse.

Zheng Tan watched as Fu Lei's kid continued to accelerate, quickly approaching the second place, then passed, and continued to approach the front one.

This kid is really hiding something.

Zheng Tan heard from Jiao Yuan that among the 1,500 meters in the first grade, there were two people who joined the school's sports department, and they should be the two who ran at the top just now.

The voice of cheering in the first group was getting louder and louder, they couldn't control their emotions, and some other people who were wandering around were also pulled over by the shouting and joined the army of cheering.

An announcer on the podium just now wanted to snatch the microphone from Litui's hand, but Litui turned to avoid the man's hand, and continued to hold the microphone and shout. Some people in other classes around the playground didn't know it, and thought The people at the radio station were eccentric. In fact, the announcers sitting there were also full of bitterness. Seeing the contestant from Class 1 start to take the first place, they stopped snatching the microphone. This little girl is too strong.

Zheng Tan glanced at the situation on the platform, feeling happy, and then refocused on Fu Lei who was sprinting for the last 50 meters.

The student who has maintained the first place until now is indeed a sports student. His sprint speed is not like 1,500 meters at all, but Fu Lei is a dark horse. In the end, he took the lead by two steps and won the first place .

Although it didn't break the record, getting the first place has already surprised the first class of the first year of junior high school. After cheering for a long time, the project that had no hope at first became the most unexpected surprise.

Zheng Tan looked at Fu Lei, who was being supported by Jiao Yuan and the others and surrounded by classmates from Class 1, Class 1, leaving the track, and slowly wagged his tail.

What is this called, a good start, first blood?

This is the first official first place so far. The 1,500-meter preliminaries are finalized. It is the first time that a class teacher looks at Fu Lei with such a peaceful and smiling gaze, which makes Fu Lei goosebumps After getting up, he felt that the serious head teacher was more normal.

After 1,500 meters, the 100-meter final will soon begin.

Those who ran a good ranking were like triumphant heroes, enjoying everyone's crowd and applause. Those who didn't make it into the top eight silently squeezed into the mixed crowd and left sadly.

After watching the game in the morning, Zheng Tan got up and prepared to go back. He still had to go back to Chuhua University at noon to accompany Xiaoyouzi, and come back in the afternoon. This poor guy Fu Lei still has 800 meters in the afternoon, which is probably enough.

In addition to Fu Lei's competition, there were also Xiong Xiong's shot put, Lan Tianzhu's long jump, etc. There were many competitions in the afternoon, but Zheng Tan was only interested in Xiong Xiong and the others.

After watching her cat jump up the fence and leave, Mother Jiao came back and took Jiao Yuan and the others to the staff cafeteria for dinner, and brought Fu Lei along with her.

When Zheng Tan came over in the afternoon, the game had already started here. Still in the same place, Zheng Tan jumped onto the background wall, stretched his waist and lay there, looking down at the entire stadium. Here you are not afraid of being blocked by people, even you can see some on the side of the long jump.

Xiong Xiong was second in the shot put, a little short of the first place. He was very depressed because of this. After half a day, except when cheering Jiao Yuan and the others, he kept a straight face. Su An and Lan Tianzhu were also doing well in the high jump and long jump, although they were not in the top three, but Zheng Tan just heard the announcer read the commendation script, one was fourth in the high jump and the other was fifth in the long jump.

As for Fu Lei's 800 meters, with the matter in the morning, before Fu Lei ran 800 in the afternoon, many classmates came to talk to him, just let him do his best, don't put too much pressure on it, after all, 1,500 meters in the morning is enough. It's too late, and I will continue to run 800 in the afternoon.

The 800 meters is much shorter than the 1,500 meters. Perhaps because of the exhaustion from the morning race, I only finished third. But this third place is enough for the people in class one to be happy, at least it can add a lot of points, and now class one's total score ranks first.

After watching the sports meeting for a while, Zheng Tan got up and went back first. Before Jiao Yuan and Jiao's mother waited, Jiao Yuan and his boys would stay in school for a while.

In the evening, after Jiao Yuan came home, he briefly talked about today's race with Xiaoyuzi, and then went to bed early. Tomorrow he will run 400 meters and relay.

The next day's game, the whole family was dispatched, Jiao's father and Xiaoyouzi also came to Jiao Yuan's school to watch the game, anyway, today is Saturday, let's take a break.

After coming to the stadium, Zheng Tan didn't run to the commanding platform this time, and followed Papa Jiao and the others to watch the game on the surrounding steps. Xiong Xiong's parents also came over, as well as several other parents in the family compound, all standing together to watch, and sometimes chatting with other acquainted parents who came over.

In the 400-meter preliminaries in the morning, Jiao Yuan was second in the group and qualified to participate in the finals in the afternoon. A large group of people were not in the staff cafeteria at noon, and Xiong Xiong's mother treated guests to a relatively high-grade restaurant outside. There are no high-end hotels around here, so we can only make do with it. Fu Lei's parents didn't come, but they were taken with them.

During the meal, several children got together to discuss the relay in the afternoon and changed the original strategy.

When they left just now, they looked at the positions of each runner in the 4×100-meter relay, and estimated the distance of the four sections. People come to bridge the gap, which saves time. Therefore, Fu Lei, who was originally in charge of the last sprint, became the second runner, and Jiao Yuan, who was the second fastest, was in charge of the sprint.

In the afternoon, Jiao Yuan took third place in the 400m final. He was already very satisfied with this result. He was second in the preliminaries and ranked fifth overall. He did not expect to advance two more steps in the final.

When the other competition events are coming to an end, it means that the last and most important event is about to start.

Now the men's team is second in total score, and the women's team is first in total score, and it is several points away from the second place. If there is no accident, the women's relay will also have a good result. In the end, the women's team will secure the first place.

So, now the students in class one all hope that the men's relay can get a good result, so that the class can get two first places. It's so majestic to say it, and I'm excited when I think about it. Even the iron rooster of the head teacher said that if the group is the first, he will pay 300 yuan for the class fee to buy basketball and other sports items for everyone.

Zheng Tan stood on Papa Jiao's shoulder, looking at the people running on the track. Just like what Jiao Yuan and the others said, Fu Lei's sprint is also very strong, and he swung his back a bit in the second shot.

In other classes, some people dropped bats midway, and some made mistakes. No matter what, they were trying their best.

At this time, the sun had begun to cool down, but the runway was in a state of white heat.

A gust of wind blew by, Zheng Tan looked at the sun and squinted his eyes.

These two days may not mean anything to others, they are just two ordinary days, just a sports meeting for junior high school students. But for Zheng Tan, he had a different feeling from the bottom of his heart.

In the past two days, on this playground, there have been no poor students or top students. The two who quarreled over a pen the day before yesterday could carry the injured one back into the infirmary without hesitation. People who always thought they would have clear boundaries, Being able to cheer for each other at the top of my voice...

Zheng Tan recalled his experience at this age, his memory was very faint and vague, as if he had no special impression. There was also a sports meeting back then, but Zheng Tan seemed to have jumped out of school with a few friends and went to the video game city.

At that time, Zheng Tan felt that it was just a sports meeting, there was nothing to participate in, nothing to see, there was a sports meeting every year, there was nothing worth paying attention to, for such a worthless ranking, he fought like an idiot, cried, laughed, Why bother? When I go to high school and college, who still remembers these little sports games for junior high school students?

But after two days, Zheng Tan felt that some things that were boring in the past were no longer boring.

Zheng Tan wiped away tears when he saw Fu Lei being helped back to the rest area by Jiao Yuan and the others after the long-distance run; and when Xiong Xiong threw a shot put, he almost hit the referee for the first time; When I was in the pit, the pants slipped down...

How much have you missed in the past?

Zheng Tan looked at his fur paws, and then at Jiao Yuan who had started to sprint over there. The people in the first group were ready to welcome the joy of the "double crown".

Once again, Zheng Tan can only be a bystander, watching those figures running, jumping, shouting, and sweating in the sun.

Zheng Tan suddenly envied Jiao Yuan and the others.

In this era, children of this age are not so introverted, and they don't think long-term. With pure and young emotions, they only strive for this moment, and they are only persistent for this moment. Showing their joys and sorrows.

Perhaps the fiercer and crueler competition and the reality of survival in the future will make them become philistines, learn to wear masks for a long time to disguise, but occasionally calm down, or when they are off work, they carry bags and drag their tired bodies , When passing by an elementary school or middle school, looking at those active and immature figures, I will also remember the pure time full of struggle footprints in the past years.

Decades of life, limited memory, too much time will be "lost" in the memory, but those shining points that have always "existed", no matter bright or dark, take it out in your spare time, each one can Let yourself reminisce for a long time.

The forehead was patted, Zheng Tan came back to his senses, and saw Papa Jiao looking at him.

"Heitan, get ready to go, go home."

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Tan stretched his waist, squinted his eyes and yawned long.

go, go home.
