Chapter 3222 Sign up for competition
Aunt Huang said, "The district's spring sports meet? I heard someone mention it briefly. They said that the public primary schools were notified, but our private school wasn't mentioned."
Xiao Bai eagerly stepped forward: "But our Little Red Horse also has many athletic children! I can play soccer, Dudu is good at running, long jump, and high jump, Shi Baobao runs faster than a rabbit, Xiao Li is not bad at running now, Xiao Du can also jump high, Xu Jun can jump long, and Liu Liu can be the captain of the cheerleading team. She just likes to shout."
Upon hearing this, Liuliu became unhappy: "Xiaobai, I can be a cheerleader not because I like to shout, but because I have passion and I am full of love for life."
"Yes, yes, you have a great passion for life. So, I'm asking you, would you be willing to represent our Little Red Horse in the competition?"
"Of course I'm willing. I've signed up for the long jump to do my part for Little Red Horse."
"You? Long jump?"
"I'm really good at the long jump. Xiaoxiao, Tian, Xiaoya, Robin, and the others can't beat me," Liuliu said proudly.
Xiao Bai laughed and said, "They're only a few years old, and you're only a few years old. How dare you compare yourself to them? If you participate in the sports meet, you'll be placed in the third grade group. They won't let you compete with kindergarten kids."
Liu Liu's eyes darted around as she said, "Anyway, I'll do my best in the competition. Whether I win first place or not doesn't matter. The most important thing is participation and friendship. There's a saying, 'Competition is second, friendship is first.' I think our district leaders definitely don't want us elementary school students to fight tooth and nail for first place. Instead, they want us to love sports, promote sports, and understand that while studying is important, physical health is even more important. We should strive for all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor."
Aunt Huang smiled and said, "Liuliu makes a lot of sense. The ranking in the competition is secondary. The most important thing is to cultivate a love for sports."
Liuliu nodded: "Principal, we're on the same page. It's just that Xiaobai hasn't figured it out yet. That kid sometimes can't quite wrap his head around things."
Xiao Bai glared at her and said, "Alright then, since Liu Liu wants to participate in the long jump competition, I'll sign you up for the long jump. I'll bring Xiao Li and the others to cheer you on."
Xiaomi also came over and said, "Auntie Headmistress, it would be great if our Little Red Horse could represent us in the competition. We will definitely bring glory to Little Red Horse and let everyone know about us."
“Hiahia, our little red horses have never participated in a sports meet together before,” Xi’er chimed in.
Other children chimed in, all wanting to represent Little Red Horse in the competition.
Looking at the children's expectant eyes, Aunt Huang's heart softened, but she still had concerns: "But we're not a primary school, so we might not meet the eligibility requirements. Besides, we need to train, prepare sportswear, and worry about the children getting injured..."
"I can handle all of these!" Xiao Bai immediately patted his chest. "As for qualifications, I'll have my father ask the teachers in the district; he knows a lot of people. As for training, I'll lead everyone in training every day after school. And sports uniforms are no problem either; I'll pay for a set of our school uniforms for everyone!"
Liuliu patted Xiaobai on the shoulder and said, "These are all fine, Xiaobai can handle them! Principal, if you have any problems, just ask Xiaobai. You just need to agree."
Aunt Huang said, "Alright! Let's give it a try! But I need to talk to Boss Zhang first and make sure I can register."
The children cheered instantly.
When Zhang Tan returned in the evening, he was immediately grabbed by Xiao Bai as soon as he entered the courtyard. "Old man! You need to quickly register Little Red Horse for the district's spring sports meet! The headmistress has already agreed, all that's left is the qualification!"
She finished recounting the whole story and stared expectantly at Zhang Tan.
Zhang Tan had always been supportive of Xiaobai, and besides, this spring sports meet seemed pretty good, so participating would be a good thing for them. He said, "Okay, I'll ask around and see if we can register under the name of 'Special Invitation to Participate in Private Schools'."
Overjoyed, Xiao Bai immediately ran to announce the good news to everyone, and the cheers in the yard grew even louder.
The registration process went smoothly, and the district education bureau specially granted Xiaohongma Academy a "special invitation to participate" spot, allowing them to participate in all events of the spring sports meet, including football, sprints, long jump, and team relays, among others.
Zhang Tan told Xiao Bai about the registration permit, and said, "I'll ask your Uncle Qin Jianguo to help with the training. He's in the military, and training is his specialty. You can practice in the yard after school every day."
Little White agreed, then she gathered everyone in the yard and announced loudly, "We can participate in the sports meet! From today onwards, we are the 'Little Red Horse Sports Team'! We must train hard and get good results!"
Everyone responded enthusiastically, showing great passion.
In the lively atmosphere, Liuliu tugged at Xiaobai's sleeve, signaling her to come over and talk.
The two arrived at the edge of the grove, and Xiaobai asked, "What's up?"
Liu Liu said, "Xiao Bai, we've represented Little Red Horse in the competition, so can we also represent Class 1, Grade 3? Last time, when Teacher Wu asked who wanted to participate, you were the first to raise your hand. Now that you're representing Little Red Horse, how are you going to explain this to Teacher Wu?"
Xiao Bai said, "I wasn't the first to raise my hand, you were the first to raise yours."
Liu Liu said, "I was the first to raise my hand to speak, but I didn't participate. You were the first to raise your hand to ask to participate."
Xiao Bai was speechless; it seemed to be true.
Clinging to her last hope, she asked, "Could I represent Little Red Horse and also Class 1, Grade 3?"
Liu Liu was somewhat gloating: "Of course I hope you can represent both sides, but it's not up to me. You have to talk to Teacher Wu. Do you want me to call Teacher Wu for you now and you can talk to her on the phone?"
Xiao Bai stared into her eyes and asked, "Are you just here to watch the drama unfold?"
"Oh my little duck, I was just worried about you and wanted to remind you. If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't have said this to you. How could you think of me like that?! I'm so sorry! I'm really upset!"
Xiao Bai wasn't fooled by her acting. She refused the suggestion to call Teacher Wu right now, and she wanted to think carefully about what to say.
The next morning, during the break between classes, Xiaobai found an opportunity to speak privately with Teacher Wu and told her about wanting to represent Little Red Horse in the competition.
Ms. Wu was very surprised and said, "I didn't expect Little Red Horse Academy to participate. This is a rare opportunity, and participation is the most important thing. By the way, which projects do you want to participate in?"
Xiao Bai listed them one by one: "Soccer, table tennis, running, long jump..."
"So many!" Teacher Wu exclaimed in surprise.
"Not many, not many. The reason there are only these events is because these are the only events in the sports meet. If there were archery or weightlifting, we could sign up for those too."
Teacher Wu encouraged them to focus on participation and strive for first place.
Xiao Bai quickly waved his hands like a little adult: "It's just for fun, just for fun. Participation is the most important thing. I don't dare to compete for first place, but it would be best if I could get it by chance. Teacher Wu, um, well, emmm, I asked my classmates, and none of them know how to play soccer. I'm the only one who signed up, so it won't work..."
Teacher Wu said, "Xiaobai, you've got it wrong. The school's participation in the spring sports meet isn't about our class forming a team, but about the whole school forming a team. You can't just ask our classmates; you also need to ask students from other third-grade classes. If any are willing, you can invite them to join the team."
Xiao Bai paused for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly, "I'm not familiar with the students from other classes, Ms. Wu. I've thought about it, and I'm not going to play soccer anymore. I'll cheer everyone on instead."
Teacher Wu laughed and said, "You want to play football for Little Red Horse, right?"
"Emm, well, I, you..."
"It's okay, you can represent Little Red Horse. The teacher won't mind. I also really hope to see your Little Red Horse team at the sports meet."
"Haha, thank you so much!!!"
This is a belated update from last night. Also, yesterday was Xiaobai's birthday; happy birthday to her!
