Today is the performance day of the night school’s anti-kidnapping play.
At four in the morning, Jiang Cheng got up.
She carried a backpack, which contained a patchwork bag made by Grandma Shen, and bit into a cornmeal pancake as she rode off on her bicycle.
"Slow down!"
Grandma Shen shouted worriedly, but Jiang Cheng had already dashed out several meters.
Holding the bike with one hand and nibbling on the pancake with the other, accompanied by the fresh morning breeze, Jiang Cheng arrived very full at the night school.
Uncle Wang from the night school was waiting at the entrance, and as soon as he saw Jiang Cheng’s figure, he opened the door immediately.
"Good morning, Uncle Wang! Thank you for your hard work."
"It’s nothing, hurry inside!"
Uncle Wang voluntarily came this early.
After Jiang Cheng parked her bike, she ran upstairs, opened the classroom door, turned on the lights, and continued working.
At this moment, there was a huge piece of white paper in the classroom, designed to look like a banner.
It had already been drawn on quite a bit, and Jiang Cheng came to finish it up.
Half an hour later, the night school students started arriving one after another.
Most of them had taken leave or sneakily left work just for today’s performance.
Jiang Cheng arranged for the students to get ready, while she took more than half of them and the teachers out of the night school.
That’s right, the teachers were also roped in by Jiang Cheng to do the labor.
The teachers couldn’t bear not coming, since all those practice exercises they made were provided by Jiang Cheng.
A group of people appeared brightly on the streets and crowded areas, holding a banner over three meters long and shouting slogans.
Jiang Cheng picked up a megaphone and shouted with all her might, "Are you afraid of your children being abducted?"
"Are you worried about your money being scammed away?"
"Are you concerned about going outside and being kidnapped, only to be sold into a black coal mine?"
"Are you worried about being deceived and separated from your family by thousands of miles, trapped in a mountain, and living a lifetime of confusion?"
A few shouted questions slowed the footsteps of the pedestrians, and many even stopped.
Whether they were worried or not, at least they were curious about the commotion.
Jiang Cheng continued.
"Come to our night school to watch the anti-kidnapping play!"
"Today, at ten in the morning, our night school, together with the police department and newspaper, will teach you how to prevent kidnapping and fraud, ensuring your children’s safety and your wallet’s security."
"The night school’s anti-kidnapping and anti-fraud play, today at ten, free admission, limited seats."
As Jiang Cheng shouted all the way, the night school students became little promoters, starting to advertise the play.
They emphasized the free admission and limited seats, following Jiang Cheng’s guidelines.
She continued walking and promoting, and two hours later, when Jiang Cheng returned to the night school, a large crowd of curious onlookers followed behind.
Principal Wang, who had been waiting at the night school, became anxious upon seeing hundreds of people returning.
"Get ready!"
The night school students behind him also became nervous.
Jiang Cheng was the first to enter and shouted to the people behind her, "Please line up properly to avoid stepping on your shoes; there’s definitely room for everyone to watch the play now."
"People who line up properly can move forward; we will issue a number to each person, and after the performance, we’ll have a lottery draw with a prize for the lucky number."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the order outside became tidy.
A prize?
Though it was a lottery, what if?
Many were eager to try and felt their trip wasn’t in vain.
The students in the school were responsible for guiding everyone to the playground to watch the play.
