Purple Grapes and Soft Beauty

noon the next day.

Yu Zhi finished a morning of self-study and went downstairs to see if she could help.

Grandma sat in the sunny living room and stroked Tiantian—a plump and round British short-short blue cat sister. Grandpa was pacing in the yard outside the door, observing which plants had lost their leaves again, which ones The vegetation is still blooming.

The kitchen was filled with steam, and there was a smell of food mixed with family affection.

"Xiaozhi? Come here and help serve the dishes!" Dad poked his head out from the kitchen.

"Okay." Yu Zhi replied loudly, and walked quickly into the kitchen.

Mom was pouring soup on the latest dish, and greeted her when she came in, "Are you down? Wash your hands and prepare to eat. Your dad will come for the food."

Yu Zhuo smiled embarrassingly. Just as she was about to signal her daughter with her eyes, she heard her say, "It's okay, mom, I've washed my hands, let me come!"

The daughter has grown up... Yu Zhuo secretly said.

At the dinner table, a family of five eats food around a round table.

The Yu family originally had a family motto of "Don't talk about food". However, Yu Zhi's grandfather, Mr. Yu Yu, was very fond of Wei and Jin style in his early years. It's not harsh, but it encourages necessary conversations over mealtimes.

After a round of routine family communication, there was a brief period of silence.

Yu Zhi gently put down her chopsticks, and said at this moment:

"Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad. I want to participate in the practical activities organized by the school club during the winter vacation. I need to stay in City X for a few more days after the end of next week, but I will definitely come back before the year."

She paused, "Can you approve my request?"

She was a little apprehensive, because when she was young, she didn't have the opportunity to go out alone, and even going to the city to attend class reunions was rarely allowed.As she got older, she hadn't made a similar request for a long time.

Grandpa Yu Yu reacted first: the old gentleman with kind eyebrows and kind eyes was full of energy, and there was a bit of leisurely and comfortable style between his brows, and he responded, "Xiaozhi, when did you see each other like this with your family? You are already an older child." , we will all respect your choice. Right, her dad?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Zhuo.

Yu Zhuo frowned slightly and thought for a while, before opening her mouth in her daughter's rare expectant eyes: "What kind of activity is it? Can it be safe?"

Yu Zhi met him with worried eyes and was startled.

She always thought that her father would be the one who opposed it the most... As a result...

In the end, did he care most about her safety?

Yu Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said warmly, "It's jointly organized by the major middle schools in X City, and the location is just around the outreach training camp that was built a few years ago. The instructors will accompany you."

Mother Ye Jing asked unintentionally: "Xiaozhi wants to go with friends?"

Yu Zhi nodded slowly and said yes.

"Go." Yu Zhuo seemed to have made up his mind, and he said this with a slightly heavy tone.

"It's good to have more practical experience." Yu Kui glanced at his son.Both he and his wife are very easy-going, but the son is sometimes too stubborn. In the past, he may have "protected" the child too much. After recalling, he found that she really didn't have any experience of going out to play alone.

It was also his fault, he found out but didn't mention it to his son clearly and seriously, delaying the "freedom" that his granddaughter should have for so many years... He sighed secretly in his heart.

The old wife who has lived together for many years understands his thoughts best, and she can understand what he is thinking by looking at his expression, so she came to warm up the scene: "Xiao Zhi, be careful, and get along well with your friends. But , don’t get too excited, there will be more opportunities in the future.”

These words gave Yu Zhi a reassurance.

Not only this time, but also in the future, there is a future.

She smiled heartily: "Okay!"

Compared to being able to go out of school with the classmates she knew, falling out of the top ten in the final exam was nothing to Yu Zhi.

When Jiang Lan kept persuading her to study hard during the winter vacation, Yu Zhi was rarely in a good mood to answer her words: "The scholarships for the top [-] and the next semester are the same. It's a pity that I didn't just step on the line~"

Jiang Lan: "..." The friendship lasts for 3 minutes!

Three days before departure, Shen Xinyue came to her to confirm whether she would join the camp.

Yu Zhi chose to participate.

These are precious and rare opportunities for her.

Then she suddenly thought of a question: "Shen She, what about the fee?"

Shen Xinyue smiled: "Sponsored by the city."

Still so good... no, is there such a generous operation?

Yu Zhi just thought of it casually, and quickly put it behind her.

The day before departure, Yu Zhi received the list of accommodation arrangements from Shen Xinyue.

The hostel I stayed in was Japanese-style. There were many tatami mats in a large room, and there were more than a dozen, er, no, many people lived in one room.Of course, boys and girls are separated.

Apart from Yu and Chen's only sister in the club, Xiao Yuan, head of the organization department, said: "There are so many people and so little land, how do we arrange for washing?"

Shen Xinyue explained: "There is a hot spring hotel over there, and the bathing conditions should be pretty good."

Now it's not just Xiaoyuan's starry eyes, but the eyes of the other four boys are shining: "Ah, really!"

Xiaotian, head of the Propaganda Department, had a turbulent face: "Hot spring trip hehehe, isn't that the holy place for me to wait for otaku~"

Ye Zi, the director of the planning department, said with a cold face: "That's you, no map guns, thank you."

Shen Xinyue smiled with a little helplessness like a child: "Aren't you afraid of being disappointed when you think too well? What's more, the activities during the day are the highlight, right?"

On the evening of the day when I officially participated in the practice, when everyone in the psychological society dragged their tired bodies back to the place where they stayed and just wanted to fall asleep immediately, they were crying in their hearts: err, the president is right...

In joint practical activities, the first link is always a series of lengthy and hypnotic speeches such as the sponsor's speech.

Relevant personnel at all levels spoke for nearly two hours in a row, and nearly [-] students from [-] schools present were basically listless, and they were no longer alive and kicking when they first arrived in the morning.

It was so tormenting...Yu Zhi relied on her tenacious willpower to support her body that was about to doze off, at least...it was better to sleep sitting up than lying down...

After the speaking session was finally over, everyone thought they would welcome a friendly and cordial inter-school fellowship event, but they didn't expect that what they were waiting for was...

Obstacle race!Rock climbing competition!Complex terrain relay run!Orienteering on super long routes!

This is not counted, the points of various activities will even directly affect the quality of food and accommodation throughout the day.

Since each school has a different quota, the calculation method is to divide the total points of the group by the number of people, and it is not possible to obtain better results by virtue of the number of people.

Fortunately... Although many of the four boys in X call themselves homeboys, their athletic ability is really not bad.There is no super top-notch professional level, everyone tried hard and achieved the upper-middle position.

For girls... Yu Zhi always knew that she was not good at sports, but she could always achieve an excellent level in the physical fitness test, but she didn't expect that Xiao Yuan looked like a delicate little man, but he was super vigorous when running. Shen Xinyue was usually gentle and gentle enough to sprint It's like dying.

She was really embarrassed to paddle.

The well-balanced X Center Psychological Society team finally won No.1.

But the sumptuous lunch and dinner did not relieve their tired body and mind much after the day. They complained to each other that they would have had a little water if they knew it earlier, and it didn't make much difference if they almost ate and lived poorly.

But when I saw the room furnishings of No.1...it smells so good! No.1 I am willing! !

The author has something to say: The code word seems to be very smooth today.

So not only can you start early, but you can also study for a while and plan to pass!
