Chapter 48: Joint Show on Children’s Day

In the second half of Ning Tiantian’s 5s/6s class, there would be a joint show on the International Children’s Day. This was also the last major event for the students of the 5s/6s class in the preschool. Parents would be invited to watch their kids performing on stage. The favorite show would win a batch of prizes.

Before the show, Miss Mi asked students in her class to team up and prepare a show for each team. Students could decide what they want to perform on stage.

“Have you got an idea for the show?” Cookie asked Ning Tiantian, holding her cheek.

“I don’t know. How about you?” Ning Tiantian said.

“I don’t know, either,” Cookie replied.

The children in Ning Tiantian’s group also shook their heads in a daze.

“Isn’t that an easy thing?” Ning Tiantian, who was having breakfast, looked up, with a little milk stain on her mouth corner. “Let’s eat!”

“Ah?”

The children in her group all looked at Ning Tiantian at once and didn’t understand what she was saying.

“That is, we buy a lot of snacks and put them on the table, like the Big Stomach King, the TV show. Who eats the most and the fastest, wins.”

“Tiantian!” Cookie immediately interrupted her, laughing, “who else in our team can eat more than you can?”

“That’s it!” The children watched Ning Tiantian silently as she swallowed two Big Macs and also finished a bottle of milk at the same time.

Ning Tiantian reluctantly waved and said, “Then I can’t think of any other things that we can do.”

She and Cookie were the only girls in their group. However, they had no special talents. The other four boys were the same as them. They still failed to count one to ten. They were only crazy about playing cards and yo-yos.

Girls in other groups could sing, dance, and play the piano, and boys could play accompaniment or do the chorus.

“Hey, have you thought of what you can do on the stage?” Zhou Xiaoxiao at the next table reached over her round head and looked at them with a laugh. “Needless to say, you certainly can’t do anything!”

“Shut up!” Ning Tiantian immediately clapped the table and stood up. “I just heard that you are going to perform ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. I guess you are the grandma wolf!”

“Brilliant, Tiantian. You can live on fortune-telling!” Zhou Xiaoxiao’s group members gathered together with jeers.

Zhou Xiaoxiao blushed and stared at Ning Tiantian. “How do you know?”

“I said I guessed…” Ning Tiantian’s eyes swept over Zhou Xiaoxiao’s flabby body, and her eyes had explained the reason.

Zhou Xiaoxiao snorted. “At least I can play grandma wolf. I’m afraid you can’t even go on the stage!”

Ning Tiantian had a thin smile on her face and said, “We are going to do Pet Wars!”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Xiaoxiao was confused and asked.

Not only Zhou Xiaoxiao but also Cookie and other kids in Ning Tiantian’s team had no idea what Ning Tiantian was talking about. They didn’t know what Pet Wars was and where they could go find pets for their show.

Cookie tapped Ning Tiantian’s arm and whispered, “Tiantian, what are you talking about?”

“We can have pets perform with us.” Ning Tiantian raised her chin and said, “You bring Da Mi, and Er Ha will come with me.”

Da Mi was Cookie’s puppet cat, which Ning Tiantian gave to her as a present last Spring Festival.

It was an inspired good idea for Cookie. “But are we allowed to do that? You think the head teacher will agree that we bring pets to school?”

“Miss Mi never says we can’t.” Ning Tiantian patted her chest and said with certainty. “Don’t worry. I can handle this!”

When Ning Tiantian went to talk to Miss Mi about the pet thing, Miss Mi agreed without saying anything.

In fact, pets were not allowed in the preschool. But this was Ning Tiantian asking her, the future daughter-in-law of Li’s Group, and Ning Tiantian reassured Miss Mi that after the show, her family would take the pets away, and they would not cause trouble for the school.

So, how could Miss Mi say no to her?
