Chapter 3240 This is what you call a tug-of-war
Xiao Zhou was ultimately selected as a member of the tug-of-war team, and even as a key player, not a substitute who might not get a chance to play.
This made Xiao Zhou extremely nervous, and he listened very attentively when Qin Jianguo taught him the key points of tug-of-war.
But at the same time, it also made Xiaozhou extremely excited, as a certain longing hidden deep in his heart was fully satisfied.
Qin Jianguo taught everyone the key points of tug-of-war, such as gripping the rope with both hands, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart, and slightly bending your knees.
After explaining the key points, I arranged everyone's positions and tasks for the tug-of-war.
Qin Jianguo said, "Xu Jun will stand at the back to stabilize the center of gravity; Liu Liu and Du Du will stand in front, and the rest of you will stand in the middle. When I call out the slogan, pull back when I say 'one,' and hold steady when I say 'two.'"
When Liu Liu heard that the coach wanted her to stand in the front row, she immediately beamed with joy.
She also suggested, "Have Xiao Zhou stand behind me. He looks cool in sunglasses and can intimidate the opponent."
Xiao Zhou quickly waved his hand: "I'll just stand in the middle, I won't stand in the front."
He lacked confidence in himself and worried that he might ruin everyone's important plans.
Qin Jianguo said, "Then let Xiaozhou stand in the middle, and Dudu stand behind Liuliu."
He decided to let everyone try pulling a couple of times, with the other kids in the school as their opponents.
When these little kids heard they could practice with the tug-of-war team, they were all incredibly excited and swarmed over, shouting and yelling.
Qin Jianguo finally managed to get them into position.
Zhang Tan counted them; there were 25 little radish heads.
If the rope weren't too short, we could have added more than ten more.
Standing at the very front is the "weak chicken" Xiwawa.
Before the tug-of-war even started, Xiwawa couldn't help but laugh out loud, leaving Liuliu on the other side completely bewildered.
Liuliu couldn't help but say, "Xier, can you please stop laughing? How can we have a tug-of-war if you're laughing like that?"
Qin Jianguo originally wanted to move Xi'er to another position, but thinking that this was just for fun, he didn't make any changes and let Xi'er stand in the front row to keep things lively and cheerful.
"Listen to my signal: when I say 'start,' pull; when I say 'start,' don't move," Qin Jianguo said. "Start!"
Suddenly, shouts filled the entire school.
Although the kids were small and weak individually, their numbers made up for it, and they gradually pulled the tug-of-war team over.
Immediately, some idiots became proud and laughed loudly, "We're going to win!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the tug-of-war team exerted their strength and pulled them back.
The children stood there dumbfounded, their ranks quickly scattered, and they were easily defeated.
This greatly boosted the confidence of the tug-of-war team; they actually won against 25! What can't they win now?!
The kids were unwilling to admit defeat and insisted on doing it again, but Qin Jianguo was worried that the children would get hurt, so he did not agree and instead had the tug-of-war team practice their skills in groups.
At Xiaobai's suggestion, the girls' team will play against the boys' team.
People gathered around to watch.
Xu Jun said, "Should we send one of the boys over?"
Liuliu said, "Xiaobai, Xu Jun looks down on us, he insults us!"
Xu Jun quickly said, "No, no, that's not what I meant."
Liuliu asked, "So what do you mean?"
Xu Jun stammered. He was genuinely worried that the girls' team was no match for them, which was why he suggested sending a boy to bolster their strength.
The girls were full of confidence and vowed to defeat the boys' team.
"I'll stand at the very front!" Liu Liu declared without hesitation.
But Xiaobai said, "No! Liuliu, you don't have to stand in the front. Let Dudu stand in the front."
Liuliu was unhappy and said, "Xiaobai, do you look down on me?"
Xiao Bai said, "I'm not looking down on you, I just hope you can stay at the back and keep our team in place, because the task there is even more important."
Liu Liu's expression improved, and she ran to the back to act as a pillar of strength.
Both sides took their positions, and the children who were watching the show cheered for the girls' team. Some even wanted to lend a hand, but were stopped by Xi'er and Xiao Mi, who were maintaining order.
When Qin Jianguo shouted "start," the two sides clashed violently, but the rope remained completely still, not tilting to either side.
It's a stalemate from the very beginning!
This scene surprised Zhang Tan and Qin Jianguo, who were watching from the sidelines. The girls' team was actually quite strong and could compete with the boys' team.
After a stalemate, the advantage gradually shifted towards the girls' team, and the boys' team was pulled away step by step.
This was completely unexpected for Zhang Tan, and he couldn't help but cheer for Xiao Bai and the others.
The children watching got even more excited, shouting excitedly. If it weren't for Xi'er and Xiaomi maintaining order, some of them probably would have rushed over to cause trouble for the boys' team.
In the end, the boys' team lost.
Little White shouted excitedly, "We won! There's nothing we can't beat!!"
Liu Liu arrogantly declared, "Who else? Who else? I'll take on two of you at once!!"
Xiao Du flattered, saying, "Liuliu, you guys are really strong. We're no match for you at all, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Jun called him away, saying, "Xiao Du, how could you give up so easily?! At this time, you shouldn't be flattering others, but reflecting on why we lost and trying to win the next round, otherwise it will be too embarrassing."
Xiao Du asked, "So what do we do next round?"
Xu Jun called everyone over and said, "Actually, we are definitely stronger than them, but we didn't perform to our full potential. The main reason is that our posture was wrong. Let me reiterate, when you're in a tug-of-war, your body should..."
After giving him his instructions, he taught everyone step by step, and then suggested playing another round with the girls' team.
Liu Liu laughed, "Hahaha, you want to come again? Aren't you afraid of losing again??"
Xu Jun said, "We won't lose again. We weren't prepared just now, but we are ready now."
Liu Liu said, "Hahaha, very good. If you want to fail, then I'll give you failure as a gift, and grant your wish!!"
The girls' team is now brimming with confidence and high morale, and they don't take the boys' team seriously at all.
But they were met with a round of defeat.
Lost, lost, lost~
The girls' team lost all four rounds in a row.
It was a complete rout.
When they lost again in the fifth round, Xiaobai couldn't hold back and said, "We need to reassign the teams."
Liu Liu chimed in, "That's right! We need to split into teams. Du Du and I will be on one team, and we'll find three more boys. Xu Jun, you come to our team."
Liu Liu's idea was too good to be true, but Xiao Bai firmly disagreed. After discussion, the teams were divided as follows: Du Du, Liu Liu, Shi Bao Bao, Xiao Du, Wan Xiao Hu VS Xiao Bai, Xiao Song Qin, Xiao Meng, Xu Jun, Xiao Zhou.
Liu Liu was full of confidence. Her team not only had Dali Du, but also three boys. There was no way they could lose to the opposing Xiao Bai team.
She suggested that since it's a tug-of-war, how can it be called a tug-of-war without a river?
“We poured water into the sandpit and then tug-of-war between the two ends of the sandpit,” Liuliu said.
Dudu said, "The loser will fall into the sandpit."
Liuliu said, "So we have to work even harder, hahaha, Xiaobai, do you dare to come?"
After thinking for a moment, Xiaobai felt that his team should not lose, so he agreed: "Who's afraid of who! Come on, let's see who falls into the sandpit."
Liuliu was excited and immediately told people to fill the sandpit with water.
The children carried buckets of water and poured them into the sandpit; they were really enthusiastic about this kind of work.
Soon the sandpit was filled into a mud pit, and the water was murky.
The two teams stand at opposite ends of the sandpit, with the rope running horizontally across the top of the sandpit.
Everyone stood with their toes touching the edge of the sandpit and their hands gripping the rope tightly.
Seeing that Liuliu was about to sneak to the back row, Xiaobai quickly said, "Liuliu, don't be a coward! Didn't you want to stand in the first place just now? If you have the guts, stand in the very front! Do you dare?"
Liuliu thought for a moment, and decided that she couldn't admit defeat to Xiaobai, so she said, "Come on, I was going to stand at the very front anyway, Xiaobai, don't run away, you stand first too!"
Xiao Bai said, "I was going to be the first one anyway!"
Liu Liu also said, "I was going to be the first one anyway!!"
The two women stood at the very front of their respective teams; if they fell into the sandpit, they would be the first to be affected.
Liu Liu's hands were white from gripping the rope so tightly, and her eyes were fixed on Xiao Bai across from her.
She was getting a little nervous; it would be terrible if she fell into the sandpit. She quickly turned around and told her teammates, "You guys have to put in all your strength, don't let me fall into the sandpit!"
Xiao Du behind her said, "Liuliu, don't worry, we definitely won't lose! Even if we do lose, we'll all fall into the sandpit together!"
Everyone agreed, and Liu Liu finally felt a little relieved.
Xiaomi was the referee this time because Qin Jianguo and Zhang Tan left; otherwise, their way of playing might not have been approved.
Xiaomi said, "On your marks—get set! Go!"
As soon as she lowered her raised hand, both teams shouted slogans simultaneously.
"One, two! Pull! One, two! Pull!"
Xiao Bai stood at the front of the line, leaning back with his arms stretched out.
Xu Jun stood at the back of the line, steadying himself like a small iron tower, the rope held taut by his grip.
The Liuliu team, however, lost their composure. Shi Baobao was too anxious and pulled hard forward, which disrupted his teammates' rhythm. Wan Xiaohu slipped and almost fell, and the rope instantly shifted a bit towards the Xiaobai team.
"Oops! I'm so dizzy!"
Liu Liu was so anxious that she started swearing, but it was too late. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Little White Team pulled her back with all their might...
Liu Liu was the first to be hit. She staggered forward two steps and stepped into a waterlogged sand pit, where she got stuck and couldn't get out!
What terrified her even more was that her entire body was falling into the sandpit.
In her panic, she hung from the rope, yelling, "Pull harder! Pull harder, duck!!!"
However, her team's formation was already in disarray, and they couldn't withstand the pull from the other side at all; it was a complete rout.
Liuliu only managed to shout, "You, you!! Are you trying to harm me on purpose?!"
Then her other foot stepped into the waterlogged sandpit. Seeing the danger, her teammates let go and dropped the rope, running to either side.
Only Liuliu was left standing alone in the murky puddle...
At that moment, the air suddenly went quiet. Liu Liu sighed, put her hands in her pockets, and muttered to herself as she began to try to salvage her dignity.
She said, "So this is what failure tastes like. I know now. My first failure in life came so suddenly. My life is finally complete. Now, I'm going to bounce back, bounce back, bounce back... Little Flower, you wait..."
