Chapter 65 Performance
On Children's Day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Wang Shan turned over and got up and sat on the bed.
She looked at her parents who were sleeping soundly and decided to get up herself.
She gently crawled over Wang Xiuren and accidentally hit Lin Qiu with her foot.
Lin Qiu woke up as soon as his daughter touched him, his eyes half open, "Shanshan, why are you up?"
He took out the watch from under the pillow again. It was only five forty. "Shanshan, sleep a little longer!"
She shook her head, pressed her belly against the edge of the bed, moved her legs down, and after her feet touched the ground, she quickly opened the door and ran out.
Judging from the noise, he ran to the small bedroom to call Lin Ting and Zhou Qing.
Not long after, the sound of the grandfather and grandson talking and washing could be heard.
Lin Qiu couldn't lie still any longer, so she resigned herself to getting out of bed. Seeing Wang Xiuren sleeping soundly, she pinched his nose hard, in line with the principle of sharing happiness and difficulties.
Wang Xiuren's nose was blocked, his breathing was obstructed, and he opened his eyes because of the suffocation.
"What's the matter?"
"Your daughter woke up the whole family early in the morning." Lin Qiu explained evasively.
“Ah…haha…”
Wang Xiuren opened his mouth and yawned, "I guess I was too excited to sleep because I was going to perform at the festival today."
"I'll go to the newsstand first, and then rush over at nine o'clock. Anyway, their program is scheduled in the middle, so I should be able to make it in time."
"Then I'll go with you! Dad and the others know how to get to the nursery anyway." Wang Xiuren quickly got out of bed and rummaged around in the closet for clothes.
"Okay, I'll go wash up first!"
After saying that, Lin Qiu opened the door and walked towards the bathroom.
After washing up, I found that the old couple were sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room watching their daughter rehearse the show she would perform today.
After Wang Xiuren came out after washing up, Lin Qiu said, "Let's go to the newsstand!" and walked out with Wang Xiuren.
When Wang Shan heard this, she immediately stopped performing, chased after her parents who were about to close the door, and anxiously shouted, "Don't forget to come and see my performance!"
"Shanshan, don't worry, mom and dad won't forget!"
Wang Xiuren said this and closed the door.
Ever since Lin Qiu found out a week ago that his daughter was going to perform on Children's Day, he and Wang Xiuren had agreed that she must not be absent on that day.
Wang Xiuren took a special leave, and Lin Qiu also planned to close the newsstand at nine o'clock to watch his daughter's performance, take his parents and daughter to have a delicious meal at noon, and then rush back to open the business in the afternoon.
As usual, business gradually slowed down around nine in the morning. After all the customers had left, Lin Qiu quickly packed up and locked the door of the newsstand, while Wang Xiuren quickly took out his bicycle.
"Get in the car quickly. If we miss it, Shanshan will probably cry again!" Wang Xiuren urged.
Lin Qiu didn't say much, and quickly sat on the back seat, "Ride faster!"
"Hold on tight!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Xiuren pedaled hard, but the lady's bicycle was too small and delicate, so he could only bend his body and could not use all his strength.
After arriving at the nursery and locking their bicycles, the couple walked to the classroom door only to find Wang Shan standing in the classroom, standing on tiptoe and looking out through the glass window.
Lin Ting and Zhou Qing followed beside her, while Lin Ping squatted behind her to help her adjust her performance costume.
When I got closer, I found that Wang Shan's face was painted red, with a red dot on her forehead. She was wearing a beige skirt and a headband with rabbit ears.
"Dad! Why did you come just now? The parents of other children are here!"
When Wang Shan saw her parents, she immediately rushed over and complained in a low voice.
"Sorry, Mom is late!" Lin Qiu squatted down and apologized to her daughter, "I wonder if the show has started yet?"
"Teacher Huang said it will be our turn soon! Let's go!" Wang Shan accepted her mother's apology and took her mother's hand and walked towards the playground.
Teacher Huang was waiting in the classroom. She saw the parents following behind Wang Shan and said with a smile, "Shan Shan, you are the child with the most parents in the class today!"
Wang Shan puffed out her chest proudly, "Teacher Huang, my parents, grandparents, and my aunt all came to see my performance!"
"Then you must perform well!" Teacher Huang encouraged her.
Hearing what Teacher Huang said, Wang Shan clenched her fists tightly.
There was a festive atmosphere everywhere in the nursery. The playground was surrounded by ropes and hung with small windmills. The stage in the middle of the playground was surrounded by a circle of balloons, and the runway was filled with display boards with children's drawings.
The five adults admired these colorful and childlike paintings with great interest.
Soon, the nursery's Children's Day performance began, and all the children and parents sat around the playground according to their classes.
No matter how the children perform, the adults will appreciate it with tolerance and give warm applause.
The program for the second grade is still in its fourth session.
After the third show was over, Lin Ting and Zhou Qing began to remind their daughter and son-in-law, "Cheer up! Shanshan's show is about to start, we all have to watch it carefully."
"Pulling radishes. The old man planted a radish and said to it: Grow, grow, grow sweet, grow, grow, grow big!..."
A little boy in an orange suit ran onto the stage, squatting with radish leaves made of green cardboard standing on his head.
As the narration ended and music began, children in different clothes walked onto the stage one after another.
Wang Shan was the last one. She had two long ears standing up on her head. She jumped onto the stage and stared at the bottom of the stage, searching for her parents.
She moved along with the music, and her adorable appearance made the whole family laugh.
Suddenly, while pulling the radishes, the little boy who played the grandfather fell down, and a group of children behind him fell down as well. The children were confused by the sudden situation and sat on the ground, at a loss as to what to do.
At this time, Wang Shan got up and pushed the child in front of her, "Hurry up and pull out the radishes! The radishes haven't been pulled out yet."
The babyish voice made the parents present burst into laughter.
"This little sister is so clever!"
"It's amazing that he can adapt to circumstances even at such a young age!"
Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren couldn't stop smiling when they heard people around them praising their daughter.
After the performance, the whole family surrounded Wang Shan and kept praising her, while Wang Shan took the chocolate awarded by Teacher Huang and chewed it while showing off.
This is a special reward given to her by Teacher Huang!
"To celebrate Shanshan's Children's Day today, why don't we go to McDonald's on the pedestrian street?" Lin Qiu suggested.
Among those present, except Wang Shan, no one had ever eaten this kind of Western fast food, so they walked towards Xixiang Pedestrian Street without any objection.
McDonald's always has good business at any time, let alone on a day like Children's Day.
Wang Xiuren, on behalf of the whole family, waited in line for nearly an hour before getting in. No one had been there before, so the task of taking the order was given to Lin Qiu.
This year's income has made a qualitative leap compared to last year, and I also wanted to let my parents try something new, so in addition to the Happy Meal for my daughter, I also ordered two Jumbo Meals.
When the meal was served, the various kinds of food caused the children around to exclaim in surprise.
Under the envious gazes of the children, the family of six savored the fresh food carefully, and Wang Shan even played with the toys that came with the meal.
"Sister, this fast food is so delicious! The chicken leg is fried crispy on the outside, and the meat inside is so tender!" Lin Ping shared the taste with Lin Qiu while eating.
"They're all fried in oil, how can they not taste good?" Zhou Qing silently guessed how much oil was needed to produce such a flavor.
"It's okay to eat this kind of Western fast food occasionally, but I can't get used to it if I eat it every day! Only Chinese food is suitable for my stomach!" Lin Ting stopped eating after finishing a piece of chicken wing.
"Dad, please eat more! We don't have the money to eat this every day!" Wang Xiuren handed a hot pancake to his father-in-law while eating French fries. "Try this pancake and see if it's any different from the ones we have in China."
Lin Ting broke off half of it and handed it to Zhou Qing, "Old woman, you try it too!"
Zhou Qing took the hot pancake and took a bite. "This pancake is good, soft and tender! It's also thanks to you that your father and I can eat this foreign stuff!"
"Mom, why are you saying this?" Lin Qiu interrupted, "You raised me when I was little, and I'll take care of you when you're old. Isn't that what we should do?"
"That's right!" Lin Ping also said, "When we were little, you bought us delicious food. Now it's our turn to buy it for you! When I make a lot of money, I'll bring you here to eat every day until you get tired of it!"
Listening to Lin Ping's heroic words, the family laughed kindly.
"Aunt, there's me too! You have to bring me here to eat every day!" Wang Shan anxiously pulled Lin Ping and shouted.
"You must not forget our little darling Shanshan!" Lin Ping promised quickly, "When Auntie gives you more money, I will buy you whatever you want to eat!"
When the others heard this, they laughed again.
