New Year's Day in 2089 ushered in an extremely extraordinary day. Liu Yiyi and Yang Momo conducted a preliminary screening based on the list provided by Kabaro, leaving 10 people:
Li Qiaolu (female)
Ling Huaying (female)
Qin Liusi (female)
Tan Aza
Qingya paddle
Xiangbu Tong (female)
Xi Liyan (female)
Lu Lutong
Farunda
Di Fanzhou
To this end, Liu Yiyi reported the confirmed list of 20 people to each of Nalinwan, Du Ruolan and Kabaluo. Liu Yiyi called 20 people together and announced: The Flamingos team's special training team has been officially formed starting today. Our general consultant is Na Linwan, deputy general consultant is Kabaruo, instructor is Du Ruolan, general commander is Liu Yiyi, deputy chief commander Yang Momo, and general consultant of the logistics department are Du Yanjun. The 10 new people were also divided into two groups:
The third group:
Li Qiao Lu
Ling Huaying
Tan Aza
Qingya paddle
Qin Liusi
The team leader is Ling Huaying.
Fourth group:
Xiang Bu Tong
Xi Liyan
Lu Lutong
Farunda
Di Fanzhou
The team leader is Di Fanzhou.
I, Liu Yiyi, will teach you the first lesson today. There are only two contents: first, learn to sing the Flamingos team song; second, be familiar with and be able to recite the schedule. Everyone learn to sing the team song from me. Each person is given a work and rest schedule. By tomorrow, I must be able to sing the team song and memorize the schedule.
So, Liu Yiyi happily taught the Flamingos team song. Everyone learned to sing very seriously. Then the meeting was adjourned. Du Ruolan kept Liu Yiyi and Yang Momo behind. Looking at the supervisor's serious look, Liu Yiyi felt as if she had returned to the Maple Leaf Gorge Hongguo Valley base again.
Report to the supervisor, student Liu Yiyi is waiting for your teachings! At this time, Liu Yiyi solemnly held her head high in front of Du Ruolan, stood at attention and saluted, with a serious and high-spirited expression.
Yiyi, you are no longer the Yiyi you were back then! Du Ruolan smiled happily and told Liu Yiyi: I want to discuss something with you. I read the training group list you gave me. Dividing into four groups is correct, but there is a flaw. If we break up the old students from our original Maple Gorge Hongguo Valley base and combine them with new students, and let the old students lead the new students, I think the training effect will be twice the result with half the effort.
I want to do that too. But I finally decided not to do it. Liu Yiyi answered seriously: They are all new students and are not yet familiar with all the environment and rules. If I disrupt them from the beginning, I worry that it will make them feel strange, lost, and afraid. Supervision can be done after training for a period of time, and then adjustments can be made according to the actual situation. I have an idea and a supervisor can help me determine if it is feasible. The training is divided into three stages. In the first stage, 5 people are eliminated, in the second stage, 5 people are eliminated, in the third stage, 7 people are eliminated, and in the end, 3 people are left. Each stage can be further divided into three periods, each period is 10 days, and there is an assessment every 10 days. Those with outstanding assessment results will be regrouped, regardless of new or old students. In this way, a combination of old and new can be achieved and training can be balanced. Do you think it’s feasible?
So doable. Du Ruolan was ecstatic: Yiyi, your mind is avant-garde, still the same as before. I will announce it tomorrow.
When the morning bugle sounded, all members of the Flamingo Team got up on time at 4 a.m., everyone made their beds, brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and handled their personal housekeeping in an orderly manner. Today is the first group to help cook in the canteen. Liu Yiyi came to the cafeteria on time at 4:30 and saw that her mother Du Yanjun had already arrived.
Mom, our first group is on duty to help the kitchen today, are you still busy? Liu Yiyi looked at the busy Du Yanjun with concern and found that her mother was energetic and led the kitchen team in an orderly manner.
Good morning, aunt! Qian Yifan shouted happily: "I'll help you pick vegetables."
Auntie, good morning! Lu Xian'er shouted excitedly: "I'll help you chop vegetables."
Be careful not to cut your hand. Du Yanjun happily reminded: Even if you don’t work, I’m still happy to see you!
Good morning aunty! Li Zhuangzhuang smiled brightly and shouted to Du Yanjun: "Let me fetch water for you."
Auntie, what should I do? Lang Bute didn't know what to do, so he quickly asked: I don't know how to intervene!
Princess, this is your first day and your first experience here. Well, look, see how they do it, what they do, and you will learn from it in the future. Du Yanjun was overjoyed: It's really difficult for the princess. You can endure such hardships, which is beyond my expectation!
As soon as the kitchen service was finished, the whistle blew. They started the day's morning exercises. Today is Thursday, which is not a day for morning long-distance running according to regulations. However, in order to help Lang Bute overcome difficulties and for the actual training on Friday, Liu Yiyi decided to lead Lang Bute on a trial run.
Princess, we are the first team of the Flamingos, and we cannot lose our reputation as the first team. Liu Yiyi said seriously to Lang Bute: From today on, you must learn to run 3 kilometers long-distance. This is one of the tasks of the test and the basic homework of the assessment. Are you determined to pass?
Sister Yiyi, I don’t know. Lang Bute obviously had no confidence: You have all gone through training, I have never experienced it.
Hey princess, you haven’t done any physical education class in school? Qian Yifan hurriedly asked: "Let's go, everything is difficult at the beginning." We all came here!
Captain, can the supervisor confirm for us where the long-distance running route is? Li Zhuangzhuang asked Liu Yiyi in confusion: There is no runway here.
Liu Yiyi smiled slightly and pointed to Mingzhu Lake: Look, it's right there. Natural runway. Just start from the barracks to the huge rock by the lake, and run along the lake to the next rock. We measured it and it was exactly 3 kilometers round trip. Princess, follow me, come on!
Lu Xian'er was also beating her heart and said to Liu Yiyi: Sister Yiyi, Lang Bute and I are not much better. I don’t know if I can keep running to the end.
To become a qualified member of the Flamingos team and to be able to excel, you must pass the long-distance running test. Liu Yiyi encouraged Lu Xianer and Lang Bute: long-distance running is the most important basic training. It can not only exercise and expand our lung capacity, but also exercise our will, our patience, and our psychological and physical endurance. Especially what we women can bear. Don't worry, only 3 people won in the end. Of the 20 people, 17 people had to be eliminated. But just like mountain climbing, everyone wants to climb to the top. When they reach the top, they will see the heroic spirit of all the small mountains. If you don’t experience, don’t strive, don’t struggle, just lie on the comfortable sofa, you will never have this opportunity.
Just after running for a while, Lang Bute shouted: Sister Yiyi, slow down a little bit, I, I, I really can't bear it anymore.
Lang Bute opened his mouth wide, panting, holding his knees with both hands, half-bent. Lu Xian'er felt a little out of breath. She pinched her waist with one hand and blocked her mouth with the other hand, letting the air slowly leak into her nose and mouth through her fingers to prevent the air from being choked by dryness.
Sister Yiyi, my throat is dry and I'm going to get angry. As if a spark could set me on fire! I feel so stuffy and suffocated. Lu Xian'er stared at Liu Yiyi, stood on the left side of Liu Yiyi, looked at Lang Bute on the right with an unknown expression, and smiled bitterly: Princess, how are you?
