There were more shops on the street where the Amazing Fate Pet Shop was located, and it was adjacent to Binhai University. Everyone knew that it was easier to make money from student couples. In order to attract customers for Christmas and New Year's Day, all the shops were decorated with lanterns and colored banners, trying their best to attract attention. There were a few holidays that even a stingy man would not treat his girlfriend badly, and Christmas was one of them.
Many merchants had set up signs in front of their shops, and broadcasters were playing the announcements repeatedly, declaring their determination to jump off buildings and vomit blood to reduce prices. However, Zhang Zian, who lived on this street, understood at a glance that the so-called Christmas discount prices would only be higher than the usual prices.
Today was the weekend, and there were many young couples wandering on the street, laughing and chatting. The girls' hands were full. They either wandered around the various shops with shopping bags in their hands, or ate all kinds of snacks with their fingers crossed. Their boyfriends were busy trying to please them.
When Zhang Zian and his group walked by with the dogs and cats, they perfectly attracted the attention of passersby.
Li Kun, who was leading the way, rode a tricycle, yelling for pedestrians to make way for them. The tricycle was full of kittens and puppies. Fina, who was arrogant, walked next, and Snowy Lionet, who was cute and naive, walked around Fina. Famous and Zhan Tian, who were led by Zhang Zian, were as majestic and powerful as a guard of honor. Richard stuck its head out of the hood of its down jacket, whistled at the handsome guys passing by, and then hid back in the hood. The invisible Old Time Tea followed them, and Galaxy was a meter or two behind them, quietly observing the pedestrians.
They were too conspicuous on the road, and the couples who were flirting or arguing all looked at them curiously. Lu Yi Yun was shy. She almost hid her whole face in her scarf, and walked with her head down.
"Sir, handsome, do you want to buy flowers?"
As one of the standard features of Christmas, girls selling flowers were, of course, indispensable. After walking a few hundred meters, Zhang Zian and his group had already met four or five girls selling roses. They were enthusiastically promoting to them, but Li Kun, who reeked of alcohol, refused all of them.
"Meow, meow, meow, is there anyone selling catnip? I want to give catnip to Your Majesty! " Snowy Lionet shouted impatiently. Unfortunately, Zhang Zian couldn't answer it in front of everyone, so he just stared at it a few times.
The further they went, the denser the traffic became, and the more difficult the road became. Many cars and electric bicycles with children were driving in the same direction. Zhang Zian and the others often had to avoid the cars, but they knew that they were almost at Zhonghua Road Primary School.
Most of the children had a strong interest in kittens and puppies. Those sitting in the back of electric bicycles turned their heads, and those sitting in cars pressed their faces against the windows. Even their parents were looking at them.
The gate of Zhonghua Road Primary School was the same as it was in Zhang Zian's memory. The only difference was that the ordinary iron gate had been replaced by an electric fence. There was a red banner at the entrance that read: Warmly Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Zhonghua Road Primary School.
It turned out to be the 50th anniversary of the school. No wonder it was so lively.
Zhang Zian had also experienced a school anniversary when he was in elementary school, but at that time, the ceremony was very simple. All the students gathered in the auditorium, the principal spoke, the vice principal added, and the dean said that the two leaders were right, and he emphasized two more points. Then the teachers and students spoke, and various awards were given out. Finally, the principal made a concluding speech and imagined a beautiful blueprint for the school … Three hours later, when the students in the audience were aching from sitting, the school anniversary successfully ended in an atmosphere of unity and progress.
Compared to the past, the children nowadays were so happy.
Today was the school anniversary, so the primary school was open to the public and outsiders were allowed to visit. However, Zhang Zian and the others were still stopped by the security guards at the gate. The security guards thought that they were going to set up a stall to sell pets, so they wouldn't let them in no matter what.
More and more students and parents stopped to watch the fun. Zhang Zian was worried when Lu Yiyun nudged him gently and pointed in the direction of the campus. He looked up and saw Wang Yaning walking out of the school, looking around as she walked.
"Wang Yaning, over here!" He waved.
Wang Yaning also saw them and ran over to explain the situation to the security guards.
To be cautious, the security guards called Wang Yaning and Little Celery's homeroom teacher to verify the situation.
"Little Celery and the others are doing their final rehearsal, so I came to pick you up …" Wang Yaning briefly explained the situation. She stared at the kittens, puppies, and elfins that Zhang Zian had brought with him and asked confusedly, "This … Why did you bring these kittens and puppies?"
"Let's go in and talk. Standing at the door is too much of a hindrance, and it's blocking the traffic. You lead the way, I forgot how to get to the auditorium," Zhang Zian said.
Wang Yaning led the way in front, and Zhang Zian told her about his idea. After listening, she was surprised and happy. With real cats and dogs instead of plush toys, the performance would definitely be much better. Maybe they could really get a good ranking in the school anniversary performance.
However, she was also worried that, because they had not rehearsed in advance, the kittens and puppies might cause chaos during the performance.
Zhang Zian assured her that these cats and dogs were all carefully selected, and they were very obedient.
"The auditorium is in front of us. Little Celery and the others are over there," Wang Yaning said, pointing into the distance.
The auditorium seemed to have been renovated or rebuilt. It was not quite the same as the auditorium in Zhang Zian's memory. It was much more imposing. In the open space next to the auditorium, students in animal costumes were rehearsing hard.
At first, Zhang Zian did not recognize which one was Little Celery. After Wang Yaning pointed it out, he realized that Little Celery was in charge of acting as Santa Claus. She was wearing a red Santa Claus costume and matching boots. Her face was plastered with white eyebrows and a white beard. She sat on a wooden sleigh with wheels and carried a large cloth bag on her back. Honestly speaking, her costume was quite realistic.
There were boys and girls in charge of the performance. Of course, the acting skills of these young actors could not be compared to that of formal movie actors. However, they were all very serious. No matter who said a word wrong, the others would correct them in unison. The students who were pointed out were also very anxious. They repeated the line over and over again until they remembered it completely.
There was no teacher to guide them. From the lines to the script, everything was designed and arranged by them. It was very immature, but it made people smile.
Zhang Zian recalled that when he was filming the movie, there were a few actors who repeatedly recited 1234567 on the set, waiting for the voice actors to clean up after them. Even those who played the protagonist did not always say their lines according to the script on the set, and they called it "improvisation on the spot."
People always grow up. Hopefully, they could maintain their innocence for a little longer.
