Seeing the angry girl outside the yard, the parents instantly became quiet.
Although none of them knew the girl, her aura made everyone subconsciously do what she said.
Some parents quickly reacted and responded fiercely:
"You little girl are so rude, who are you?"
Zhao Shiyan seemed to have no intention of responding to her question. She turned her head, glanced at Xiaoyu who was standing beside her obediently, and sighed:
"Did you know? When I was playing billiards yesterday, I noticed that Xiaoyu took special care of her good friends. The stones she chose every time were the least round ones, and the stones that were easiest to roll were left to others.
.I think Xiaoyu is the most friendly and good child among these children."
Zhao Shiyan didn't seem to have said enough. Taking advantage of the parent's confusion, she looked at a child again and continued:
"When Daewoo was playing ball, he would lie down on the ground and put his head directly on the bamboo pole to see if the pole was straight. I think he was the most serious kid in playing ball."
"Although Xiaobing has not played ball, she has been helping other children to hold the bricks against the outside to prevent the stones from knocking the brick wall away. I think she is the most responsible child."
"..."
The parents felt very complicated as they listened to Zhao Shiyan detailing the various advantages of their children.
When others praise your children, they should be happy, but for some reason, they can't be happy at this time.
"So I feel that although the children are indeed playing, they are playing very seriously and attentively. Auntie, I feel that the most fearless thing when doing anything is concentration, even the simplest things.
As long as you work hard, you will find your own meaning sooner or later, right?"
Listening to Zhao Shiyan's words, not only the parents, but also Ling Zhi were slightly shocked.
Although he knew that what Zhao Shiyan said was right, it still made him feel a little sudden that Shi Yan would say such words here and now. And since when did she start treating these children?
Are you observing so carefully?
It's so unlike her!
But the parents at the scene did not allow him to think about it, and someone immediately retorted:
"You're such a sharp-tongued little girl. You've been talking for a long time. Don't you just want them to continue playing billiards? Anyway, I don't agree. It's useless whatever you say!"
"mom!"
"Don't speak for them, go back and wait for me to deal with you! If you don't go well in class, you are quite serious about making messy things. Tell me, no matter how good you are at playing with that thing, what's the use?"
"Don't think I don't understand anything! I know about table tennis, it's not even an Olympic sport outside! You guys are just a bunch of people. No matter how good you are at playing, you can't be a world champion!"
"cut!"
Ling Zhi gritted his teeth and looked at each other with Zhao Shiyan, both of whom were a little helpless. It was really difficult to convince such a group of aunts with just the two of them!
If even this small thing cannot be done, wouldn't it be even more difficult for the villagers to develop paper-cutting, tourism and other big things in the future?
In fact, both Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan also understood that the villagers just wanted to protect their one-third of an acre of land and live a good life, but it was extremely difficult for them to make even the slightest change.
But Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan also have their own persistence. They feel that what they do for the children is meaningful!
Will their efforts end here?
"Okay! Stop arguing!"
At this moment, a large group of people including Village Chief Deng, Xiaofeng, Deng Fei, and Teacher Lu Ming were seen pouring in, filling the courtyard to the brim.
"Teacher Cai told me about extracurricular activities yesterday, and I agreed. I originally thought that enriching the children's extracurricular life would be a good thing, but I didn't expect you to have such strong opinions."
"In that case, here! Xiaofeng, tell everyone what you think."
Xiaofeng took out a piece of paper from behind, stood in front of everyone, and read aloud to a group of adults without any timidity. At first, everyone was a little confused, but after listening for a while, they understood what Xiaofeng was expressing.
.
It turns out that Xiaofeng divided the time after school into several units, and made clear arrangements from what time to what time, and which children could enter the side room to play.
"These are all lists I discussed with the children who don't have adults at home. What do you think?"
Xiaofeng said this to the remaining children present.
And these children nodded hurriedly, naturally they would not refuse to agree, there was no option of not agreeing at all, well, if they didn’t agree, there would be no fun at all!
"Parents, please rest assured that I have the key to the side room. I will supervise the children and will not let them indulge in this game too much."
"Also, you just said that billiards is not an Olympic sport, so I would like to ask you, do you know about ice hockey and curling?"
The rude parent just shook his head blankly.
"Ice hockey and curling are Olympic sports, but you haven't heard of them, but you know about billiards, a non-Olympic sport? It shows that billiards is not bad at all."
The parent remained silent, not knowing what Director Cai wanted to say.
"I used to be an ice hockey coach. Maybe in your eyes, you don't even know the meaning of this profession, right?"
"But I think any sport has its own meaning, and it doesn't just exist to win championships!"
"I have been to the ice training base in Bincheng. You may not know that there are a lot of children signing up for skating there. Some children have just learned to walk and are sent to learn skating by their parents."
"I used to keep thinking about what the meaning of playing these sports is."
"But then I saw the children dancing in groups on the ice, not getting discouraged even if they fell, supporting each other, and I suddenly realized that this was actually a way of communication for them."
"They don't have much communication with each other, but I can feel the warm bond between them. Isn't this a precious asset in their lives?"
Hearing this, Ling Zhi felt like a door opened in his heart, and he had a clear understanding.
In fact, he had been thinking about this issue, and after listening to Director Cai’s words, he instantly resonated with it!
That’s right, the way humans communicate is by no means just talking!
Some children are naturally introverted, but they can shine in other areas and express their thoughts in other ways!
That's why there are so many artists and philosophers in this world!
The same goes for sports. The connotation of sports is not just as simple as strengthening the body, but more importantly, it is for everyone to participate together and use this sport to communicate with each other!
This is the true meaning of sports!
Village Chief Deng squinted his eyes. Seeing that he had almost mastered the heat, he concluded in due course:
"Okay, since the children have made proper arrangements for themselves, we elders should not stretch our hands too far. The children will grow up sooner or later. There is nothing wrong with asking them to learn self-control early.
"
"This matter has been settled for the time being. If I don't want the children to play, I won't force it, but I don't want to affect others. This extracurricular activity is quite meaningful after all, haha..."
After hearing the village chief's coffin-closing conclusion, the parents didn't want to say anything more and walked out of the yard in silence one by one.
Some parents feel relaxed. They were originally worried that their children could not control them, but now that they have proper arrangements, their worries are unnecessary.
But there are also parents who are determined not to let their children participate in that strange extracurricular activity. It's not that they don't understand the meaning of Zhao Shiyan and Cai Fen's words, they just think...compromising is too shameless.
But in any case, the dispute caused by extracurricular activities has temporarily subsided.
The children gathered together and discussed who was the one who told their parents about extracurricular activities when they had nothing to do. They were holding back their breath and wanted to find the "traitor"!
Deng Fei helped the village chief leave here.
Lu Ming brought other students to Zhao Shiyan and sighed:
"I heard the argument just now. I thought it would turn into a quarrel in the end, but I didn't expect it to be resolved peacefully in the end. I was also deeply inspired by the whole story of this incident. Shi Yan, when you go back, you cooperate with me to
This incident has been written as a paper, and I will name you as the second author."
Zhao Shiyan was a little flattered:
"Really? Thank you teacher!"
"Yeah, but how did you come up with the idea of building a brick table for the children? This idea is quite rare, haha."
Zhao Shiyan was about to answer, but she didn't expect that Yao Jun would take the lead:
"Teacher, Shi Yan and Ling Zhi basically go to practice billiards every night. It's only natural that they understand these things!"
Zhao Shiyan frowned, and she said coldly to Yao Jun:
"Actually, I've always been quite curious. Who told you that we practice football all day long?"
Yao Jun was stunned for a moment and stayed where he was, not knowing what to say. He had a vague feeling that he had shot himself in the foot.
He couldn't say that he accidentally met Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan practicing ball in Xingyu once, and then followed them to the door of coach Xingchen's house and guessed it when he heard the sound of billiards hitting inside.
Yao Jun has always regarded himself as the number one scientific researcher in Lu Ming's laboratory, so he has an extremely conceited desire to control the scientific research of his junior brothers and sisters. What's more, Zhao Shiyan is the girl he likes, so this desire is even worse.
So after seeing Zhao Shiyan rejecting him many times, Yao Jun felt suffocated in his heart.
Therefore, just after Lu Ming raised the question, he couldn't help but tell Zhao Shiyan that he was practicing billiards in private. He wanted to use Teacher Lu's hand to discipline Zhao Shiyan, but he never thought that this sentence revealed too much information.
!
In fact, Zhao Shiyan also knew that the senior brother liked to inquire about the private affairs of everyone in the laboratory, claiming that he cared about his junior brothers and sisters. She had been dissatisfied with this for a long time.
But at this time, she was too lazy to argue with Yao Jun. Facing Lu Ming's slightly confused look, Zhao Shiyan took a deep breath and finally decided to speak out the plan she had hidden in her heart for a long time:
"Teacher Lu, what Senior Brother Yao Jun said is true. Ling Zhi and I do go to billiards training frequently."
"And not only that, I also want to go to Pengcheng for nine-ball training next semester."
