The light shadow's footsteps were hurried. Unknowingly, it was already the end of May. After entering summer, the weather in Jiangcheng became more and more stuffy, especially since there was no rain for the past few days. During the day, the sun was scorching the land and the campus was also filled with heatwaves. It was so hot that it made people panic.
"Today, we won't play basketball outside because the weather is very hot. It's not good to get heatstroke!" The tall and burly teacher, Lu Dashan, was in the school's gymnasium, talking to the children of the first grade, class three, who were laughing and joking as they lined up.
"Quiet, quiet, don't make any noise!" Cao Ruolin, who was shouldering a heavy responsibility, had no choice but to stand up and shout loudly.
In contrast, the physical education representative was much more dull. Not only did he not want to help maintain order, but he also stood there and laughed happily, as if he had forgotten his duty.
"Well, everyone, please be quiet. Listen to the teacher. We won't play basketball outside today, but come to this comfortable gymnasium. What do you think the teacher is going to teach you today?" Lu Dashan smiled and kept them guessing.
This time, it was the teacher's turn to ask questions.
Xi Xi, who loved physical education, was especially excited. Her eyes lit up as she tried to raise her arms and said in her sweet voice, "I know, I know. We're not playing basketball outside, but in the gym!"
"Uh, not basketball." Lu Dashan scratched his head awkwardly and said, "The basketball court for today's class is reserved for the teachers of Grade Two and Grade Five. Today, we are going to learn to play table tennis!"
(Today was not the PE class on Tuesday, so Xi Xi's PE class was not at the same time as Yu Xiaowei's.)
"Ping-Pong?"
"Ping-Pong!"
The reactions of the little guys were different. Among them, some had learned to play table tennis, or had watched others play table tennis on TV, and some were ignorant and had no concept of table tennis.
Typical examples were Xi Xi and Du Yuqian!
Du Yuqian might have seen others play table tennis, but she stood in the front row of Xi Xi, looking confused, as if she couldn't understand what table tennis meant.
Xi Xi's eyes lit up. She clapped her hands happily, then turned to Lu Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, we want to play table tennis! I also have a table tennis racket at home. My PaPa bought it last year! "
Lu Xiaoyu was also beaming with joy. She smiled excitedly and said, "I also know how to play table tennis, because my father and mother both know how to play table tennis. They taught me, and then my father participated in their unit's competition and won the first prize!"
Win an award? That was too amazing!
Xi Xi looked at Lu Xiaoyu in surprise and said enviously, "Wow, Little Yu 'er, is your PaPa so powerful? Actually, I haven't learned how to play table tennis yet, because I haven't played table tennis with PaPa yet. "
"It's okay, I can teach you!" Lu Xiaoyu said excitedly, "You can also come to my house. I'll take you to the table tennis place. There are table tennis tables in our community."
There was no need for Lu Xiaoyu to teach. After Lu Dashan finished his lecture, he asked the PE representative and two enthusiastic boys to bring back the table tennis racket and table tennis racket. Then, he began to explain the boring table tennis game.
Xi Xi listened carefully. After all, she had only seen table tennis, but had never really played it. After the table tennis racket was opened at home, she didn't know where it was put by her father. After all, there was no table tennis table at home. At most, Xi Xi and Tong Tong would play basketball at most.
After the Chinese class, which was probably taught by the PE teacher, Lu Dashan, the children ran out of their lines and happily grabbed the table tennis racket and table tennis racket.
"Don't worry, there are enough table tennis racket, but not enough table tennis racket. But you can play with four, five, or six people on a table. One ball is enough!" Lu Dashan said helplessly behind them.
But the children were noisy, laughing, and shouting, which almost overturned the gymnasium. Lu Dashan didn't know how many children could listen to his words.
"Xin Er, Xiaoyu and I, and you and Qianqian will play together, okay?" After getting the table tennis racket, Xi Xi paid attention to the teacher's words. After hearing it, she immediately organized.
Liao Qianqian was Lan Xin's deskmate, and she had a good relationship with Xi Xi. So, there were four people. Although they were slower than those boys, who were faster than them, the four girls gathered around a table tennis table, looking very excited.
"I don't know how to play table tennis. This ball is for … who knows how to play? Open it for you! " Lan Xin held a yellow table tennis ball in her hand. But after thinking for a while, she spread out her hand and stretched it out.
"Give it to Xiaoyu. She knows how to play table tennis!" Xi Xi immediately pointed to Lu Xiaoyu and said.
"Then you can have it!" Lan Xin threw it over generously.
It was a high toss, but Lanxin misjudged the resistance of the ball in the air. The ping pong ball fell down early in the air, crossed the net in the middle, and bounced repeatedly on the ping pong table with a "piak piak" sound.
However, this scene was very interesting in the eyes of Xi Xi and the other girls.
Although the table tennis ball was bouncing lower and lower, the four girls' heads followed the arc of the table tennis ball, up and down, like chickens pecking at rice.
In the end, Xi Xi, who was tall and strong, quickly reached out to grab the table tennis ball and handed it to Lu Xiaoyu. She smiled and said, "Hee hee, hee hee! You didn't throw it over! "
Lu Xiaoyu kicked off the table, but to everyone's surprise, it was her first time kicking off, and she didn't play well. The table tennis ball got stuck on the net and bounced back.
"I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up!" Lu Xiaoyu shouted in embarrassment, and took a big step forward.
"Haha, haha!" Lu Xiaoyu's mistake made the other girls laugh.
However, they seemed to have forgotten that they were the real novices!
Sure enough, the next time Lu Xiaoyu hit the table tennis ball, Lan Xin and Liao Qianqian waved the table tennis racket in a flurry. As a result, neither of them was able to catch the table tennis ball, which cleverly went between their racket.
Lu Dashan, who was patrolling, reached out and picked up the table tennis ball. He walked over and took the table tennis racket from Liao Qianqian's hand, and explained, "You have just started to learn table tennis, so don't be so anxious. First, use this simple method to practice how to play, and find the feeling of touching the ball."
What Lu Dashan taught was the most basic ball tossing posture, which he just taught Xi Xi and the others how to toss the ball.
Why didn't he teach them the specific movements?
Because practicing the movements was very boring, and children at this age didn't necessarily learn the movements from the teacher. Just now, when Lu Dashan taught them how to toss the ball, they were a little impatient after a while. He simply let them play on the table, and then slowly teach them the more difficult movements.
After giving Xi Xi and the others some simple instructions, Lu Dashan continued to look at the other children.
As for Xi Xi and Lan Xin, they continued to play table tennis in high spirits.
However, these simple movements were a bit difficult for the children who were not too tall. Except for Xi Xi, who was taller than Lan Xin and the others, Lu Xiaoyu and the others had to try their best to press down on the table tennis table and stretch out their arms to barely catch some table tennis balls.
But even so, they couldn't always catch the table tennis balls, and mistakes often happened.
"Hey! Xi Xi, you hit farther away! I'm so tired from picking up the ball! "Lan Xin complained a little tiredly.
Lan Xin was not as tall as Xi Xi, and her reaction speed was not as fast as Xi Xi's, so she often tried to reach out her hand, but the table tennis ball bounced to the other side. Helpless, Lan Xin could only run over to pick up the ball. After a few times, the chubby girl was out of breath.
"Xin 'er, I'll go pick it up, I'll help you pick it up!" Seeing this, Xixi called out enthusiastically and ran over, full of vitality.
Xi Xi was now playing table tennis very happily. Although she was only bouncing the table tennis balls high up, she still felt that this sport was very interesting, especially at the moment of determining the landing point, which was particularly exciting. It was precisely because of this that Xi Xi didn't want to see Lan Xin stop playing with them because she was tired of picking up the ball. Lan Xin's physical reserves were far less abundant than hers, and of course, Xi Xi knew this!
It was just a piece of cake to pick up the ball!
Lan Xin saw this and suddenly stopped complaining. She said gratefully, "Oh, that's great! Thank you, Xi Xi! "
"You're welcome!" Xi Xi picked up the table tennis ball, ran back, and stuffed the ball into Lan Xin's hand. She said with a sweet smile, "Xin Er, when we go back, let's ask dad to take us to play table tennis, okay?"
"Of course, but we can teach my dad how to play table tennis. My dad doesn't know how to play. Your dad is so good, he should know how to play," Lan Xin said excitedly.
"Hehe, hehe!"
Compared to the harmony, happiness, and laughter on the girls' side, the boys' side was more noisy, especially at the table of Chen Yuxuan and Jiang Chen. They even quarreled over the issue of the ball.
No one knew the specific process, but in the end, Jiang Chen yelled angrily, "I'm not playing with you guys! I'll go to another table! "
