My green plums are very sour

Since the self-care week, my mother has already labeled Ning Ran as "reliable" in her heart.

"This child is much more sensible than you, and usually learn from others." She urged earnestly.

My mother probably didn't expect me to have a good life that week, so when I came home on the weekend and saw me tidying up and learning that I had learned to tie my hair, she was overjoyed and overjoyed.

The teacher in charge soon found out that Ning Ran had this skill, and immediately took her as a helper to comb other students' hair.So Ning Ran suddenly became busy.In order to fulfill the entrustment of the parents, so that A Rui and I can be self-reliant, she threatened and lured (well, mainly to me) and took the time to teach us how to braid, and we were self-reliant for the next few days.

This was the only windfall of that self-care week.She originally wanted to teach me how to tie a red scarf, but I couldn't learn it no matter what, so she gave up completely after many attempts.

All in all, Ning Ran can be said to have fulfilled his mission, so he has established a more reliable image in the hearts of the parents.

In the next summer, when my mother planned to send me to learn swimming, the first sparring partner she thought of was Ning Ran.

"Are you going to learn to swim?" My mother suddenly put down her chopsticks and asked during lunch one day.

I was stunned for a moment, but without hesitation, I nodded twice like a chicken pecking rice: "Go!"

Every summer in the swimming pool, I would see other people plunge into it, and I would be very envious. However, because no one taught me, I could only soak in the shallow water area and hold the swimming ring for a few random strokes.Now is my chance.

My mother pondered for a while, and then added: "I think so. Isn't it summer vacation? The three of you often play by the river. If you accidentally fall down one day, you can swim if you know how to swim." Swim back by yourself. Ning Ran has a more stable temper and is smart, so I don’t worry if you learn with her. When the time comes, I will call A Rui together, and I will register the three of you.”

I laughed secretly in my heart, to be honest, I feel more at ease with Ning Ran, no matter how you say it, it will be better than my mother.In fact, my mother is sometimes a bit big, and she is not as reliable as she imagined.

This time, let me seize the opportunity to talk about it.I held up the bowl to cover my face, only showing a pair of eyes to stare at my mother, deliberately put on an understatement, which is "settling after autumn", "That's good, when I learn how to swim, I don't have to worry about being submerged. "

"Mom, do you remember two years ago, when I was five or six years old, you once took me to swim in the swimming pool, which was next to the children's pool in the sports center. The water in the pool was not deep, less than one meter My swimming ring suddenly slipped off my body, and my whole body rolled backwards and my head was submerged in the water. I almost died after choking on several mouthfuls of water. , I guess you won't see me."

Even after more than twenty years, I still remember the situation at that time, that was the first time I felt the fear of death.

Mom took a bite of the rice, then froze for a moment, the smile on her face froze quickly, as if searching for something in her mind, "Why don't I remember?"

Sure enough, I knew it.

"You read the newspaper five meters away from me, and you didn't find anything at all."

"How could such a thing happen?" She seemed completely unbelievable that I had once walked through the gate of hell in front of her, and now I felt guilty when I mentioned it like this, so she hurriedly said, "Then you really have to hurry, this summer vacation Just go and learn, you must learn."

After finishing speaking, he showed a slightly smug expression.

"Look, is my decision wise?"

I pursed my lips and laughed dryly, speechless.Let her take over all the reasons, what else can I say?

If it was going into the water with Ning Ran... I thought about it, at least she would help call the lifeguard.

Mom quickly convinced Ning Ran's parents.Of course, I also discussed it with A Rui's parents, but A Rui felt that she was too sleepy to wake up early for training, and she couldn't get up, so she categorically refused.And she held our hands with eyes wide open, repeatedly expressing the hope that Ning Ran and I can learn from it, and her life will be in our hands from now on.

I sneered at this a second ago, but when I turned my face, I patted my chest and responded with a full mouth.When I learn it, I will be a capable person.

As for Ning Ran, how could she miss this opportunity to acquire one more skill.

The parents quickly signed up for us. Every morning from 10:20 am to [-]:[-] am, we will receive training at the sports center [-] minutes away from home. The [-]-day course includes teaching and meetings.

However, my freshness was exhausted on the first day, and I even regretted it faintly.God knows how broken my heart was when I soaked my whole body in cold water to practice breath-holding at nine o'clock in the morning.Although the sun hangs high in the sky, making people dizzy from the sun, once the body comes into contact with water, it immediately feels like it is winter.It's just like the advertisement, it's so cool and soaring.

Learning to swim is not at all the same as I imagined.

"You don't want to retreat, do you?" Ning Ran was lying on the diving platform next to me, practicing the breaststroke leg movements that the coach just taught her. Her two thin pole-like legs were swinging regularly, and she seemed to be imitating Be very serious.Her stature has grown a lot compared to a year ago, leaving me behind at a speed visible to the naked eye.Even though I tried my best to catch up, I was still half a head short of her.

I also crawled on the diving platform, my chin resting on the rough surface of the platform, I turned my face to look at her, and sighed, "Oh, I should just sleep in at home with A Rui, why do I have to suffer like this."

Ning Ran put her legs back and knelt on the ground, supported the diving platform with her hands, and took a breather, "You should study hard, otherwise, as Auntie said, whoever will save you if you fall into the water."

I pursed my mouth and raised my eyelids and glanced at her lazily, "Isn't there still you. You will never die, will you?"

We have known each other for almost a year, and I think I can still feel a little bit of Ning Ran's temper. Although I sometimes say something distasteful, I am still a soft-hearted child after all.

"Come on, who cares about you." She sneered, but it seemed to be very useful, and then she turned her face away and continued to practice.

We shivered in the water for several days, learned the movements of our arms and legs respectively, and we were able to flop twice in the 1.3-meter pool by relying on the floating board.

This gave me a sense of accomplishment, and I no longer feel sad and don't want to go into the water.After returning home, she was very happy to brag to A Rui, but within 2 minutes she laughed at the swimsuit marks on her body.

Although our coach is a woman, she is not soft-tempered at all. As long as her face turns black, no one in the training class will dare to speak out.

On the first day of class, the coach said that if she refused to let us go ashore, we must not be allowed to go ashore. Even if it thundered and rained, we had to soak in the water.

No, it's not even ten o'clock in the morning, and the sky above has been covered with dark clouds, rumbling and exploding, and sparse raindrops are falling.A group of twenty or so of us huddled in the pool, each shaking with arms folded.Unfortunately, just in time to change the water in the pool, the water outlet kept showering cold water on everyone's legs. The temperature was much lower than the original water, which made it feel so sour.

The coach watched from the shore, fierce and fierce, but he didn't let go.After a lot of hard work, lightning appeared in the sky and the rain started to fall heavily. Only then did we show mercy and let us go up there.

After I climbed onto the shore, I kept jumping in place, trying to warm myself up.

Looking back, Ning Ran next to him was already too cold.Her skin was originally fair, but now her face was even paler, and even her lips were a little purple.When I listened closer, my teeth were chattering.

I rubbed my arms, rushed to the chair, grabbed the big towel and threw it on me, then ran back to wrap her up.

"Hurry up and wipe off the water." Even through two layers of towels, you can feel the cold air seeping out of her body. "I guess we won't be able to practice for a while. Let's go to the shed to rest for a while."

I grabbed her back into the shed and sat down on the bench, side by side.The sound of her breathing was all around her ears.

"I hope this rain will last longer. When get out of class is over, I don't need to continue practicing today." I only exposed my head outside the towel, looking at the gray sky and muttering to myself.

Ning Ran might have been stunned by the cold, staring at the water surface in silence, the wet hair on his forehead blocked his sight and didn't know how to move it away.I suddenly had the illusion that she was quite fragile, as if she had taken off a layer of armor, so I let go of my courage and leaned over to blow on her forehead meanly.

But the sky does not follow people's wishes, and the summer rain comes and goes quickly.I was having a great time when the coach "Dudu" blew the whistle to call everyone to gather. Ning Ran was also awakened, and she came back to her senses, turned around and pretended to give me a fierce look.

"Assemble!" After she finished speaking, she threw down the towel and walked towards the coach without waiting for me.

"Today, you are going to have a try in the 1.5-meter pool." As soon as I walked over, the coach said, still holding a thick cube of foam with a rope buckle in his hand, "If you are afraid, you can wear a floating ball Go on. But I'm ugly to say before, everyone has to come, and no one can escape."

When I heard 1.5 meters, my legs became weak. Although I can almost swim over my head in a pool of 1.3 meters, at least my feet can step on the bottom of the pool, and I am a little more at ease.But the 1.5-meter pool, when I jumped into it, the bottom of my feet was empty, and I was afraid it would scare me to death.Can you be kinder to the little ones!

"Do you want that?" I leaned on Ning Ran with my elbow and asked in a low voice.

"No need." She walked to the edge of the pool and slapped some water on her body. After adjusting, she got into the water, looking very comfortable.

I definitely didn't have the guts, so I had to walk up to the coach with small steps and get a floating ball on my body.

Many students went down with them, and jumped up and down in the pool. Ning Ran also found the doorway and swam a few meters in style.

I stood timidly by the edge of the pool, dizzy, but dared not lift my legs.

Seeing that I was too smeared, the coach began to urge me: "What are you still doing standing on it? Jump quickly! You won't sink with the float."

I had no choice but to move forward another five centimeters, and my toes were almost touching the water. I was so scared that I quickly took another half step back.

Now the coach couldn't take it anymore, and kicked me directly from behind, and I fell into the water like a chicken egg.

The moment I entered the water, I really thought I was going to die. There was nothing under my feet except the gentle current, which could not support me at all.The surface of the water has submerged my nose, my ears and nasal cavity are occupied by the pool water, my eyes are forced to close tightly to prevent the water from entering, and my teeth are biting desperately.Moreover, due to the pressure of the water, his throat seemed to be choked by someone, and he couldn't breathe at all, and his chest was as stuffy as a thousand boulders.

Because of the panic in my heart, I can only let my hands scratch around at a loss, trying to grab a life-saving straw as much as possible.

I did catch that too.

In my panic, I touched an arm. Knowing that there was someone next to me, I subconsciously wanted to cling to him more firmly, so I waved my two hands towards that person without thinking, one hand grabbed the person's shoulder, and the other One hand grabbed the swimsuit.

The other party gave up after struggling for a few times. I took this opportunity to fully expose my head to the water, and quickly opened my eyes.

Ning Ran looked at me with an expression about to beat someone up, and half of the shoulder straps of the swimsuit were torn off by me.

I felt a little guilty at once, but then I thought about it, survival is the most important thing, so I just kept hanging my hands on her shoulders and pretended to cry when I pulled the corners of my mouth.

It can be said to be very shameless.
