"Xin Er got first place?" Yang Yi asked in confusion when he heard Xi Xi's excited cheers.
Yang Yi knew that Lan Xin was a good swimmer. After all, she was buoyant in the water. When she swam at home, she was almost as good as Xi Xi.
But this time, they were swimming in a 50-meter lane. Such a distance was not easy for children of her age! Xi Xi started to feel tired towards the end of the race. Lan Xin's physical condition was not as good as Xi Xi's, so it was also a big challenge for her to swim the full 50-meter lane with all her strength!
When they began to stand still and watch the race, the race in the blue pool was coming to an end. However, Lan Xin's group did not perform as well as Xi Xi's group. There was a clear gap in strength between them. Yang Yi felt that in the final stage, Lan Xin was only at the front. There were two other children who were running neck and neck with her!
And as Yang Yi expected, Lan Xin swam very slowly towards the end. Yang Yi could not help but worry about her!
Xi Xi, who was sitting on her father's shoulder, hugged her father's head and smiled. She said firmly, "Xin Er will definitely get first place. I believe that Xin Er can also get first place!"
While waiting for Lan Xin to come out, Yang Yi received a call from Murphy. After watching Lan Xin's race, Murphy could not help but call him in a hurry to ask about Xi Xi's situation.
"She's doing well. She got first place in one minute and twenty-four seconds. She's the first in her group." Yang Yi smiled and reported to Murphy. "I don't know much about Xin Er's race. It seems that the gap between the top three is not big. I don't know what the specific results will be …"
"Xin Er also got first place!" Xi Xi smiled brightly at the side. She took her father's hand and jumped up and down, trying to convey her words to her mother.
"Come on, you talk to mom." Yang Yi saw her so eager, had no choice but to hand the phone to Xi Xi.
The little girl leaned against her father's thigh and hugged her phone as she spoke to her mother.
At first, it was Murphy who asked her. Perhaps she was concerned about her condition after the swim, but Xi Xi replied sweetly, "No! It's just that I was a little tired at the end, but I don't feel tired anymore. "
"Hee hee, I don't know either. PaPa said that I was swimming so fast that I couldn't see them!"
Xi Xi was holding the phone with a towel between them. Obviously, she felt a little awkward. She quickly pulled off one side of the towel, revealing her right arm. Just like how Tibetans wore their sleeves during the day, she emptied her right hand to hold the phone and talk to her mother.
It was as if a seal had been lifted. Xixi seized the opportunity and excitedly shared her swimming experience with her mother, as well as her new experience in this professional swimming pool!
Fortunately, Murphy knew her daughter's habits too well. She interrupted Xi Xi in time and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, Xi Xi, your brother also has something to say to you!"
"Brother, are you watching it too?" Xi Xi asked in surprise.
"Of course, your brother is cheering for you!" Murphy handed the phone to Tong Tong and said with a smile, "Tongtong, come on, tell your sister. Sister, you can do it, sister, you can do it, sister …"
Tong Tong was just brainwashed by his mother. He curiously grabbed his mother's phone and muttered perfunctorily, "Street, home …"
He didn't know what it meant, but it was very interesting. Tong Tong was influenced by his mother and said a few words. Of course, he couldn't see his sister now, so the little guy's enthusiasm decreased a lot.
"Heehee, heehee!" Xi Xi heard her brother cheering for her. Although she was confused, wasn't this Tong Tong's usual style of speaking? She smiled happily and said sweetly, "I didn't even know! I'm going to ask my brother when I go back. He watched my competition, that is, did he see me swim super fast … "
After letting Xi Xi chat with her mother for a while, Yang Yi saw Lan Xin and Lanzhou Kai getting ready to come out. He stopped the little girl and asked Murphy and Wu Jingjing to come down. They still had to take the two girls to change their clothes.
"Xin Er, are you first?" Xi Xi was very happy to see Lan Xin. She couldn't wait to run over and hold Lan Xin's little hand and asked excitedly.
"Of course, I swim super fast!" Lan Xin panted slightly and her little face was a little pale. But at this moment, she was still in high spirits and said proudly.
Eh, Xi Xi was right?
At this time, Lanzhou Kai shook his head and exposed the little girl with a smile. "You're still showing off? This time, it was thrilling to get first place. Fortunately, you swam well in the beginning. You swam slowly in the end and almost got caught by others. You're only one hand's distance away from the second place! "
"Brother Lan, don't be so demanding! If you can swim first in the group, you're still first! "Yang Yi clapped his hands and encouraged Lan Xin with a smile.
However, Xi Xi pouted and complained, "But, but just now when I said Xin Er was first, PaPa, you didn't believe me!"
"I didn't see it just now, but now I'm sure. First place is very good! Just right, the two of us are first! " Yang Yi rubbed the heads of the two little girls with a smile and said, "Today, both of you performed very well. No matter what the result is, hard work is victory. Even Xin Er swam to the finish line so hard. Papa Lan and I are cheering for you!"
"Yes, Xin Er swam to the end not easy." Lanzhou Kai also followed Yang Yi's excuse and applauded his daughter with a smile.
Lan Xin pouted a little unconvinced at first, but now she relied on Yang Yi to speak for her. She looked at Yang Yi and tried to complain, "Isn't that so? I'm exhausted, so I swam slow. It's so long! It's not easy to swim. Xi Xi said it would be tiring. "
Xi Xi nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's very tiring to swim to the end."
"It's okay. You've already given Papa Yang and your father a big surprise by swimming to the end!" Yang Yi hurriedly comforted her in a soft voice, "Now that you've won first place, it's even more delightful! Very good! "
Lan Xin wiped away her unhappy expression and smiled. She pestered Yang Yi and said coquettishly, "Then, Papa Yang, can I eat more ice cream with Xi Xi? We're all so tired from swimming! "
"Yes! We also want ice cream. " Xi Xi suddenly remembered. However, at this time, the little girl was a little like a useless teammate. She enthusiastically interrupted Lan Xin and said, "But, Xin Er, we have to wait until we get home to eat ice cream! There's no ice cream here … "
…
Lan Xin's 50-meter swimming time was one minute and thirty-two seconds, which was slower than Xi Xi's one minute and twenty-four seconds.
However, when the two girls finished showering and came out in dry clothes, the competition for the seven to eight-year-old girls group had already ended! Yang Yi and Lanzhou Kai took the children and stopped for a while, waiting for the final results to be announced.
"Xi Xi's results should be enough to compete for the top eight," Lanzhou Kai and Yang Yi discussed.
Yang Yi was a little modest, but he was still looking forward to it.
However, to Yang Yi's surprise, he had underestimated the strength of the children in Jiangcheng!
Although Xi Xi and Lan Xin were ranked first in the group, when the final results of all the contestants were announced, Xi Xi was only ranked twelfth! Lan Xin didn't need to think, she was ranked even lower.
The fastest swimmer was a girl named Su Yingying, who swam in fifty-six seconds!
The second and third place's results had already exceeded one minute!
"She must be a professional swimmer!" At the announcement area, Yang Yi, who was full of anticipation, squeezed in to see the results and heard people talking about the top few children.
After all, they were only seven or eight years old girls. To swim under one minute, it could be said that they were very strong!
Yang Yi clicked his tongue lightly. He originally thought that Xi Xi was very strong, but he didn't expect that compared to the real strong people, there was still a big gap in strength! Xi Xi was only ranked twelfth, which meant that there were no strong opponents in the group that she and Lan Xin were in …
Perhaps even though Lanzhou Kai had spoken to the Sports Administration, the people at the Sports Administration still secretly gave him some face.
However, after knowing the results, Yang Yi, who was originally a little expectant, was relieved.
He went back to the two girls and said with a smile, "Okay, you didn't make it to the top eight, but it's okay. You did very well today, and there will be awards for you later! I heard that there will be a small prize too. "
"But, but there won't be any trophies!" Xi Xi whispered as she hugged her father's hand. She regretfully turned to look at the workbench, where there were eight small golden trophies.
Of course, there were also stacks of awards and notebooks. These were all small prizes that every contestant could get — they could print out the names in advance, so they didn't have to rush to write them out one by one. In addition to these and the trophies, there was also a bucket of peanut oil for the top eight. The prize for the champion was a floor fan that was most needed in the summer …
These prizes were all sponsored by Lanzhou Kai's company.
Xi Xi looked forward to those trophies the most. She felt that they were very beautiful.
However, before Yang Yi could comfort her, Lan Xin said loudly, "Aiya, Xi Xi, what's the big deal! Isn't it just a trophy? If there's no trophy, then there's no trophy! Let's go out and buy ice cream to eat! "
Xi Xi's emotions were brought out by Lan Xin, and she couldn't help but giggle. "Okay! Xin Er, I didn't want to eat at first, but you made me want to eat! "
