Chapter 218: Only Knows One
Although the three schools were hosting this event together, behind the scenes, they were all vying for the title of the top primary school in the city, something they had been anxious about for many years.
Jian Zhiqin’s school, Bayi Primary School, was not far from where they lived, less than a ten-minute walk away. It was an old and well-established school known for its facilities and teaching quality.
However, the title of the best primary school in the city had not been decided yet. Now, this performance was a great opportunity to impress the city leaders. Winning their favor meant clinching first place. Moreover, Taotao’s father, Zhou Haixing, who was also Jian Zhiqin’s uncle, was going to attend the event. That’s why the child was so stressed; a poor performance would embarrass his father, who couldn’t afford to lose face. If he did embarrass him, he would definitely be punished.
"So that’s how it is..." Qin Xiangnuan understood, propping her chin on the table while talking to Jian Zhiqin, "Can’t your teachers come up with something new and lively?" She also felt that having children sing in a large choir was not the best choice since it was a stretch to win anything significant with it.
The best option would indeed be a dance.
"They can’t come up with anything," Jian Zhiqin said anxiously, no longer wanting to even eat his boiled egg. "The teacher asked us to figure it out ourselves, see if anyone’s family could help us choreograph a routine. But, we’ve asked everyone, and no one can, so now we have to start practicing the choir."
But I really don’t want to sing in the choir, especially since it’s ’East is Red’ again. Brother, it’s not that it sounds bad, but tears were welling up in his eyes, as every single performance our class has had for the past few years has been ’East is Red.’
At Bayi Primary School, the homeroom teachers start with the students from the first grade and stay with them until they graduate. Poor Mr. Shen, despite his age, knew how to teach and mentor students and could sing ’East is Red’, but he really couldn’t dance or teach dancing.
