Since the establishment of Zhonghua Road Primary School, it had never been so lively. Cute kittens and puppies jumped out of Santa's cloth bag and ran to the audience. Whether it was the school leaders, staff, or the parents of the students who came to watch the ceremony, they were all dumbfounded.
The children in the audience didn't care. They screamed and reached out to their favorite kittens and puppies. Influenced by the atmosphere, even some students who didn't care about pets tried to wave to the cats or dogs that ran past them. If it weren't for the prestige of the homeroom teachers, the students would have gotten up to hug the pets. Although they were itching to do so, they hadn't left their seats yet. The scene was lively but not chaotic.
The school leaders were also full of enthusiasm and praised the wonderful design of the show.
The kittens were instructed by Fina to only run in the aisle in the middle of the seating area, and not to run to the seats. If someone wanted to hug them, they would also nimbly dodge.
Wang Qian and Li Kun had come in from the main entrance of the auditorium. They waited at the end of the aisle and put all the kittens back into the suitcases.
The puppies were a little more troublesome. Some ran to the actors on the stage, and some ran to the audience, where they were picked up by students or teachers. Lu Yiyun took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her phone's camera from behind the curtain. She recorded the scene so that she could get the puppies back from the students and teachers after the school anniversary.
Famous and Zhan Tian pulled the sleigh around the stage several times. The cloth bag was empty, and all the kittens and puppies had been distributed. Little Celery, who played the role of Santa Claus, jumped off the sleigh and bowed with the other actors. Famous and Zhan Tian pulled the sleigh back to the backstage. Everything was going smoothly.
Until then, Little Celery and her companions could really relax. They lined up in a row and held the hands of the students on the left and right. They could all feel the warm sweat on each other's palms. Turning his head to look, everyone's forehead was sparkling, but they all revealed brilliant smiles.
"Thank you, teachers and students, for watching our performance!"
Arm in arm, they bowed to the audience in unison.
Almost all of the audience, including the school leaders, stood up and applauded. For a moment, the auditorium was filled with waves of applause. Little Celery and her team had to repeatedly take several curtain calls.
Of course, the parents would record the entire process of their children's performance, so many of them had recorded the scene just now. Those who didn't felt it was a pity. But it didn't matter, this video would soon be shared in all sorts of parents' WeChat groups, and then it would be forwarded endlessly …
Wang Yaning and several faculty members backstage were even more surprised. They were the only ones who had witnessed the scene of the grey parrot stretching its neck and singing at the top of its lungs. Its pronunciation was accurate, its pronunciation was clear, and its singing was melodious. It left most professional human singers behind.
Of course, because it was very cold, Richard quickly hid in his hood after he finished singing.
"This parrot can … can sing?" Wang Yaning stared at Zhang Zian's hood in disbelief. Her burning gaze almost burned two holes in the hood …
"Hehe, of course, I taught her. I taught her for a long time," Zhang Zian said without changing his expression.
Everyone knew that parrots could talk, and some could also sing, but most of them sang out of tune. No one had ever seen a parrot that could sing so beautifully. Wang Yaning and the faculty members all showed looks of envy. They were thinking that with such a clever parrot by their side, they wouldn't be lonely.
The host went on stage, and the applause gradually stopped. After several curtain calls, Little Celery and her team finally returned backstage. They smiled and surrounded Zhang Zian, asking him about the cats and dogs, as well as the singing just now. He couldn't answer so many questions at the same time. Fortunately, Little Celery helped him explain.
The faculty members and school leaders in the audience were voting for the best performance of this year's school anniversary. Every adult present knew very well that, regardless of whether the best performance had been decided beforehand, when Little Celery's class performed "Fairy Tale Pet Shop," all the other performances paled in comparison. If the award was given to someone else in front of everyone, it would probably cause public anger.
Sure enough, the host soon announced the results of the voting. Then, according to the order of the third place, the first place, and the first place, the dean, the vice principal, and the principal respectively gave the award to the winning class.
The third and second place winners had already received their awards and left the stage. The winner was about to be announced. They held their breath and stared at the host's lips. When the host finally read out their class numbers and invited the principal to give them the award in person, they were so happy that they cried and hugged each other. The quarrels in designing the lines and scripts, the complexity in preparing the props, the hard work in rehearsing, and the disagreements between the students were all melted in tears with the hugs.
Little Celery and her team had never thought that their program could beat so many classes and win the championship. Even their head teacher was so happy that he gladly accepted the congratulations from the other teachers. Yi Le secretly stuck out his tongue. Fortunately, he didn't follow his original plan to play the Glory of the Dead.
They lined up on the stage again, received the trophy and certificate from the principal, and then gathered together to take a group photo. This beautiful moment was frozen in time.
Shrouded by the stage lights and the attention of the audience, the flashes lit up one after another in the audience seats. They felt a sense of happiness and collective honor that they had never felt before. More than ever, they knew that they were a whole, and without any one of them, they would not have been able to accomplish this great achievement.
At the same time, they felt deeply regretful because the biggest contributor behind the scenes was not invited to the stage, nor did he appear in the group photo. If it weren't for Zhang Zian and his pets, the program would only receive ordinary praise. It was his idea and the pets that turned something rotten into something magical.
After the group photo, the host asked each of them to express their feelings. They had never prepared their acceptance speech in advance, so they stammered, sometimes making the audience laugh, but also faithfully reflecting their childlike innocence.
More than ten minutes later, when the host finally signaled that they could leave the stage, they rushed backstage to express their sincere gratitude to Zhang Zian. However, Zhang Zian was not there anymore. Only Wang Yaning was waiting backstage.
Facing their searching eyes, Wang Yaning guessed what they wanted to ask. She pointed outside and said, "He has already left with his pets. He asked me to tell you that you don't have to wait for him. This is what you deserve. Enjoy it. "
