Chapter Three Hundred and Five: Go All Out
Yo! I digressed, let’s get back to the topic.
Once again, in order to test the effect of strengthening nutrition and persisting in exercise over the past year, Huang Han decided to go all out.
After all, you are competing with many peers, and if you can outperform most of them, it feels good.
Teacher Huang was particularly concerned about Huang Han and didn't care whether Huang Han got a ranking in the sports competition. She specifically told Huang Han that if he couldn't persevere when running 800 meters, don't hold on.
In fact, the 800-meter race in which Huang Han is most confident of ranking is because he has been running for more than a year and exercises for about an hour every morning. Running ten laps around the stadium track is a compulsory course.
There are five kilometers.
When he first started running last spring, Huang Han couldn't complete this amount of exercise and always had to rest at least three times. But this year it was completely different and he could do it easily.
Huang Han, who participated in the school sports meeting, could no longer be shabby. He could be considered to have the top equipment for primary school athletes of this era. Looking at the whole school, there were only ten or twenty people who owned such sportswear.
Because the sportswear Huang Han wore was "Plum Blossom" brand, the price of a suit for adults was about 40 yuan, which was more than the average salary of young people at that time.
Huang Han, Huang Xin and Huang Qi now all have two sets, all of which were brought from Shanghai by their fifth cousin.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, "Meihua brand sportswear" was considered top fashion, and young people with financial means were eager to own one.
Huang Han's aunt Huang Jinlan was an old businessman. She helped Xu Ruonan find connections to wholesale "Meihua brand sportswear" and sell them in clothing stores in Shanghai. The profit was not high, only 12%.
But fortunately, this business is stable. There was no slow sales in the early 1980s. As long as one or two units were sold a day, the rent would be almost enough.
Huang Han learned from Xu Ruonan's letter that the store had purchased dozens of sets of "Meihua brand sportswear" from the wholesale department of a department store in Shanghai and was very interested.
When she replied to the letter, she wrote down her and Huang Xin's and Huang Ming's sizes, and asked to buy two sets, one for each change, and if the store didn't have any, she asked her to go to the wholesale department of the department store for wholesale.
The "Meihua brand sportswear" made of combed cotton fabric produced in Tianjin is highly soft, has strong sweat absorption, is breathable and close to the body. Huang Han likes this kind of clothing.
Huang Han's family is considered rich now, and they no longer care that a set of children's sportswear costs more than 20 yuan.
Huang Qi, Huang Han and Huang Xin have been wearing "Plum Blossom Sportswear" and "Huili Shoes" for morning exercises for the past two months, and take a shower and change clothes for school when they get home.
Today is the first time that Huang Han appeared in front of his classmates wearing a "plum blossom sportswear" suit. He originally thought he would be very cool, but unexpectedly, two sluts, Qian Aiguo and Cheng Wenge, were also dressed exactly like Huang Han.
They are also wearing true blue "plum blossom sportswear", which is also from Xu Ruonan's clothing store, and their feet are also wearing "pull back shoes".
Twenty or so students were wearing blue or red sportswear, which stood out among the more than a thousand students in white shirts. Among them was a tall and beautiful girl, Shen Xiaorong.
I don’t know how many male and female classmates looked at Shen Xiaorong, who was dressed in bright red. Fortunately, she had formed a habit of being stared at frequently, and she talked and laughed with her classmates.
Xiao Qiang, who was wearing a white shirt and blue pants, was a little disappointed. She looked at Huang Han and Shen Xiaorong from time to time.
It had only been a year, and not only did Huang Han's grades leave her far behind, but now the food, clothing, and supplies were better than hers. The little Lolita was really hurt.
Zhang Chunmei's mentality is completely different. She also wears white sneakers and a white shirt, just like Xiao Qiang and the fifty or sixty classmates in the class, but she is different among the team of Class 42.
The first and second graders participate in sports meets and do not participate in competitions. They are spectators and cheerleaders. The teachers will lead them to shout "Come on!"
Huang Qian is undoubtedly the most eye-catching in the second grade team because she is the only student in the first and second grade wearing red sportswear.
She said yesterday that when her brother competes, she will definitely make an agreement with her former classmates in Class 1 and 2 and current classmates in Class 21, and they will all "come on!"
In Huang Qian's mind, Huang Han should be omnipotent and should win first place in sports competitions.
Huang Han is not too optimistic, but it is necessary to try his best. Even if he cannot win first place, he still has to strive for a good result.
The first thing that started was the 100-meter preliminaries. Eight students competed for two places in the finals. Amid the cheers of the students in Class 4 and 2 and most of the children in grades 1 and 2, Huang Han lived up to expectations and won the first place.
Then came the finals. Perhaps because of the height difference, Huang Han didn't get the first place and ended up in second place. The champion was a big guy from Class 4 or 5.
The child comes from a good family and is also wearing sportswear and also has pull-back shoes on his feet.
But most of the fourth graders and first and second graders were cheering for Huang Han, and no one thought that Huang Han had lost if he took second place.
Qian Aiguo was unconvinced. When Huang Han left the field, he complained, "The kid in Class 4 and 5 is almost as tall as me. I guess he is at least thirteen years old. How can he have the nerve to race with a classmate as short as you?"
When Shen Xiaorong, Zhang Chunmei, Liu Xiaoli and other girls who were preparing to play heard this, they immediately laughed...
Huang Han had a dark look on his face and said, "Qian Aiguo, if you can't speak, just don't speak. I'm already very unhappy for not getting the first place. If you make fun of me for being short again, I'll want to die."
"Haha..." The friends around him burst out laughing when they heard this.
Qian Aiguo blushed and said with a smile, "Brother, I was wrong. I didn't mean to make fun of your short stature!"
"Hmph! Just wait, I will definitely be taller than you in at least two years."
Huang Han still has expectations for his height. In his previous life, his medium stature of 1.70 meters was largely due to malnutrition and lack of exercise. Now that he is back, he can already clearly feel his strength and that he has grown taller.
Qian Aiguo never quarreled with Huang Han, and immediately flattered him and said, "I'm sure! You've grown a lot taller this year!"
The honest man Cheng Wenge said, "I also think you are much taller this year. Last year, your legs couldn't reach the ground when you were sitting on the back seat of a bicycle. This year, you can almost stand."
"Really? I forgot how tall I was last year. You two, be careful! I am over 1.6 meters tall and you will definitely not be able to beat me. If I am over 1.7 meters tall, I can beat both of you by myself."
Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo looked at each other. It was obvious that they didn't believe it at all, but they didn't reply, smiling and saying nothing.
In fact, Huang Han was not bragging at all. In his previous life, he did not deliberately exercise, nor did he practice boxing every day, nor did he have adequate nutrition. After entering junior high school and gaining strength, he could beat the big man who was the king of the class to tears.
Things are different now. With the trend of practicing boxing and running every day, and with the fighting experience accumulated in the mind, by junior high school, it should be no problem to fight three or five by one person.
