The old principal stood on the temporary stage on the small playground of the kindergarten, facing the children in the kindergarten and the parents who had come specially today. She still bowed to everyone first.
“Thank you, thank you to all the parents for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the National Day theme performance held by our kindergarten before the National Day.
Tomorrow is the 70th birthday of our motherland, a day of universal celebration. Our kindergarten will also give all the children a day off tomorrow in accordance with the statutory holiday so that the children can go home and celebrate the holiday with their parents, grandparents, and grandparents.
This afternoon, every class in our kindergarten will have a program dedicated to blessing our motherland’s birthday.
After the children’s performance, there will of course be a performance by our kindergarten teachers, which is dedicated to our lovely children and the parents who are here today.
Well, without further ado, let's get ready to watch the show."
After the old director finished speaking, there was a burst of applause at the scene.
Then, a female teacher in cheongsam came on stage and served as the host of today's program, announcing the program to the parents and children.
Then, the class performances started with the smaller classes, so Feng Ruoruo's class's performance was the last one.
Feng Ruoruo was originally sitting with the other children, but after a while the little girl started to become restless.
She frequently looked back at her parents who were sitting among the parents at the back, and several times she wanted to get up and sit with her parents.
But every time she wanted to stand up, the children behind her would stop her.
"Feng Ruoruo, sit down. You can't see anything."
There was no choice but for the little girl to sit down obediently, but she felt a little unhappy.
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, who were sitting next to Feng Ruoruo, also noticed that their good friend wanted to get up and go to the back, so they reached out from the left and right to pull Feng Ruoruo's hands.
"Ruoruo, do you want to go sit with Father Feng?"
"But we still have to watch the performance. We have to respect other people's performances and not run around."
When Feng Ruoruo heard what her two good friends said, the little girl also muttered: "I don't want to go sit with my parents, I want my dad to bring some snacks over so that we can sit here and watch the show while eating snacks."
When Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei heard this, they both felt that Feng Ruoruo's idea was correct.
It's not fun to just sit there and watch the show. Wouldn't it be great if there were some snacks
However, before Feng Ruoruo could try to notify her father to distribute the snacks, the aunties in the kindergarten kitchen had already delivered the snacks.
These snacks baked in the kindergarten kitchen were specially learned by the kitchen aunt from asking Feng Yifan for advice.
On the day when the National Day performance was confirmed, the kitchen auntie specifically found Feng Yifan.
She wanted to ask Feng Yifan how to make snacks, and wanted to make a delicious snack for the children this afternoon so that the children could eat while watching the show.
Feng Yifan did not refuse and introduced the kindergarten kitchen aunt to Chen Xu and Luo Yu.
Then, under the guidance of Chen Xu and Luo Yu, the aunt in the kitchen finally baked a batch of snacks today.
There are three kinds of snacks in total, and each child will get three kinds of snacks.
The first type is the small biscuits that are more common among children, but this time the biscuits were made by the aunt in the kitchen after consulting Luo Yu. Each biscuit was pressed out with a bear head mold, which looks very interesting.
The second dessert was a small cake, also taught by Luo Yu. The kitchen auntie added some homemade fruit jam between the two layers of soft cake. It was sour and sweet and very delicious.
The third kind of snack is peanut crisps, which Chen Xu taught the aunt in the kitchen to make. It is made by kneading peanut crumbs and flour together, adding some ghee, and then baking them into small spherical crisps. They are small and exquisite but very fragrant.
Of course, after the children have snacks, you also need to prepare various drinks for them.
The auntie in the kitchen was also thoughtful and prepared tea for the parents, as well as freshly squeezed juice, some yogurt and water for the children.
I have to say that the kindergarten is really well prepared.
Looking at those things, many parents couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Wow, there are so many things. The kindergarten really spent a lot of money on this."
“I wonder how much these will cost.”
"We paid a lot of money to the kindergarten, so this is nothing, right?"
"No way, look at those freshly squeezed juices. They must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"Hahaha, it only happens once a year. I don't think it's a big deal."
"It seems that the fees we pay for the children every year are really affordable."
…
Feng Yifan heard the parents' discussions, smiled and whispered to his wife, "It seems that people like these visible benefits. These parents don't think about the fact that kindergartens teach children a lot and teachers are responsible, but they also need to eat."
Su Ruoxi patted her husband gently and said, "Hey, don't worry about me. People all like these small favors."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "That's true, so she listened to my advice to the director."
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised: "Is the arrangement of these things today your suggestion to the director?"
Feng Yifan nodded a little proudly and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to provide these, but then the old principal felt that it was inappropriate. The kindergarten cannot be sponsored by anyone casually, because the kindergarten is a public school after all, and it enjoys funding from the city every year, so I gave the old principal this idea.
It is reasonable to let the kindergarten kitchen do these things, and parents will see these small favors and think the kindergarten is good. "
Su Ruoxi suddenly understood, because the kindergarten had never done this in the previous few years.
If I think about it carefully, perhaps only someone who has traveled all over the country like my husband would have these thoughts.
The shows went on one by one, although the performances of the younger children in the kindergarten were not very good.
However, it was the first time for the parents to see their children performing on stage, and they all applauded their children enthusiastically. Every parent was really happy to see their children perform, and they took out their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures non-stop, trying to capture the best side of their children.
Finally, after each class finished their performance, it was Feng Ruoruo and her class's turn.
The children first changed their clothes with their parents, and then followed the two teachers onto the stage and stood in their designated positions.
However, after going on stage, the children also faced a problem, that is, the stage was different from their classroom environment. Some children who had not received professional dance training were still a little confused in such an unfamiliar environment.
Teacher Fang thought of another way, which is to tell the children to look carefully at the children in front, behind, and around them.
"Remember this. Remember the positions of the children in front, behind, left and right. Your position is the same as the current position of the children. Then pay attention to the movements of Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi, and Chen Yaofei in front of you, and dance along with them."
After Teacher Fang's repeated instructions, the children finally stood up straight.
Then, Teacher Liu started the music.
But when the music started, the children were still a little restrained in front of so many people.
Teacher Fang encouraged the children in front and even clapped her hands to keep the rhythm for the children.
When Feng Yifan saw this, he also stood up and clapped his hands along with Teacher Fang.
And he also shouted in public: "Come on, kids, you are all the best."
All the children in the class were a little confused. Even Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei were standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Now Feng Yifan's loud shout suddenly woke up the children.
Next, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei took action first.
Seeing this, the other children in the class quickly followed the three little girls who were leading the dance.
Finally, with the accompaniment of music, Feng Ruoruo and the children in her class performed the dance that they had only practiced for a week.
After the children finished the dance, all the parents, teachers and other children stood up and applauded them.
The applause echoed in the kindergarten, which was the best encouragement and farewell gift for these children who were in their last year in kindergarten.
Perhaps none of these children will work in a dance-related job in the future.
However, this experience of performing in kindergarten should become a beautiful memory in their lives.
The dance was finally over, Feng Ruoruo and the other children bowed and walked down from the stage.
After coming down, Feng Ruoruo did not return to her seat obediently, but rushed directly to her father and threw herself into his arms.
Feng Yifan hugged his daughter and gently stroked her little head with a smile.
"What's wrong? Ruoruo danced very well today. It was really great."
Feng Ruoruo raised her head from her father's arms, her little face full of excitement and smiles: "Hehehe, Daddy Ruoruo is working so hard. It was you who applauded Ruoruo, and you and Teacher Fang beat the rhythm for Ruoruo, so that Ruoruo could remember how to dance."
Feng Yifan squatted down, hugged his daughter and said, "Ruoruo is awesome. You are daddy's pride."
Feng Ruoruo also threw herself into her father's arms and hugged his neck tightly.
Today's performance was the first time that the little girl danced for everyone in such a prominent position.
For Feng Ruoruo, this was an extraordinary experience. Her heart was filled with happiness, excitement, nervousness, and a variety of emotions.
But the little girl didn’t understand so much, she didn’t know how to express it, so she could only hug her father’s neck, listen to his encouragement in his arms, and release her complicated emotions with a happy smile.
In addition to dad, mom, grandparents and grandfather were also there to give encouragement and praise.
Mom said, "Well, Ruoruo is awesome. She has made great progress in dance during this period."
Grandpa said: "Our little baby Ruoruo has really grown into a big kid. She is amazing."
Grandma said: "Ruoruo dances really well, grandma applauds little baby Ruoruo."
Grandpa said: "I didn't know that our Ruoruo has learned to dance so well."
Feng Ruoruo and her whole family together are a microcosm of all the children in her class.
In fact, after Feng Ruoruo ran directly to her father, the other children also ran to their parents who came today, and received praise from their parents.
None of the parents of the children in Feng Ruoruo's class could have imagined that their children would be able to dance this dance so well.
Although the dance is not complicated and there are no difficult moves.
But in the eyes of parents, it is their pride that their children can jump down.
The old principal did not ask Teacher Fang and Teacher Liu to ask the children in their class to go back to their seats. Instead, he went on stage and said to everyone, "Okay, let's all applaud the children in Teacher Fang's class again. Thank them for presenting such a good dance to everyone."
Applause broke out in the kindergarten again, and the children and parents from other classes applauded the children in Feng Ruoruo's class.
Afterwards, the old principal made some coordination and allowed the children in Feng Ruoruo's class to sit with their parents, and the kindergarten's programs continued.
The following program was the kindergarten teachers taking the stage to perform for the children.
Among them are animal sketches that make the children laugh.
There are also songs for children to sing along.
Of course, there are also dances that make the children applaud.
On such an afternoon before National Day, the kindergarten was truly filled with laughter and joy, allowing the children and parents to spend a pleasant afternoon together.
The performance lasted for nearly two hours, and the kindergarten performance ended successfully at around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Instead of taking their children away directly, the parents led their children to help put the things back into their respective classrooms.
And they also helped with the tidying up and cleaning.
This can also be regarded as parents setting an example for their children.
Feng Yifan didn't eat the snacks he brought, so after the cleaning was finished, he took them out and said to the children, "As a reward for your dancing and cleaning today, I'll share the snacks Uncle Feng brought with you. Take them home and eat them."
Then, Feng Yifan brought his three daughters to distribute snacks to the children.
The children in Feng Ruoruo's class are really very happy.
Not only did they receive praise for their dancing and a big red flower from the kindergarten, but they also received some snacks from Feng Yifan.
Liu Zihao couldn't help but say while holding the snacks: "Today is so nice. I wish every day could be like this."
Liu Zihao's father came over specially today and smiled and said, "If you want to do this every day, you need to learn how to dance. You didn't dance very well today."
Hearing his father's words, Liu Zihao quickly said, "Then let's not do it."
The little boy's instant transformation made the other parents present couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When Liu Zihao's mother saw the interaction between the father and son and the harmonious scene of the family, the depression that had been tangled in her brows was relieved and a sincere smile appeared on her face.
