Chapter 4104: Graduation Ceremony
This month was also Niu Niu's last month in elementary school. After this month, he would have finished the six years of elementary school and would be graduating. In another two months or so, he would become a middle school student. For Niu Niu, this was naturally a major event worth commemorating.
Therefore, Niu Niu had been looking forward to his elementary school graduation ceremony for a long time, and his school had also notified Niu Niu long ago that he would be the representative of excellent students to speak at the elementary school graduation ceremony.
Regarding this matter, Su Xinghui originally did not want Niu Niu to speak at the graduation ceremony because he hoped Niu Niu would be as low-key as possible. However, since the school had already made the decision and Niu Niu was looking forward to this matter, Su Xinghui could not refuse, as that would be too much of a blow to Niu Niu's self-esteem.
Speaking of which, the school doing this was not flattering Su Xinghui, because Niu Niu was indeed a very excellent student. He was excellent in character and learning, was a "Three-Good Student" every year, his grades were always in the top three in the school, and his essay had won the first prize in the provincial elementary school essay competition.
For such a student to speak at the graduation ceremony as a representative of excellent students, what was inappropriate about it?
In fact, Su Xinghui knew that as his son, Niu Niu was already sensible enough. He had always been very low-key and humble in school, and he would push away many honors if he could. For example, the time he caught two human traffickers and saved a child, Su Xinghui did not let the school publicly commend him. For a child to be able to refuse such an honor was really not simple.
But this time was different. This was an elementary school graduation ceremony, a major event that only happened once in a lifetime, and Niu Niu's performance was indeed very good. This was the honor he should receive, so Su Xinghui had no reason not to let Niu Niu speak.
The fact that he would speak at the graduation ceremony as a representative of excellent students received his father's approval, and Niu Niu was overjoyed. He had been preparing for this speech all along. He wrote the speech himself and did not show it to his parents or grandparents. This was his secret; he wanted to complete this graduation ceremony speech independently.
Su Xinghui also respected Niu Niu very much and did not ask to see his speech, let alone suggest that he modify it. This was his full trust in Niu Niu, which could also help Niu Niu build his self-confidence.
The graduation ceremony was getting closer and closer, which made everyone look forward to it very much. This was also a milestone in Niu Niu's life.
The graduation ceremony was held in the auditorium of the Experimental Elementary School where Niu Niu attended. The participants would be all the sixth-grade students and their parents. Since the auditorium could usually hold a school-wide meeting of teachers and students, and this time only sixth-grade students were participating, if any student's parents wanted to attend, they all could; the auditorium could fully sit them.
Therefore, Niu Niu hoped that his grandparents and parents could all attend his graduation ceremony. On such an important day, he hoped that his family could spend it with him, and Su Xinghui and the others naturally agreed to his request.
Of course, Niu Niu also invited Teacher Yang Yuanshen to attend his graduation ceremony. Teacher Yang had worked hard to educate him over the past few years and had taught Niu Niu everything he had learned without reservation. He was also one of the people Niu Niu respected most. At such an important moment, Niu Niu naturally hoped that Teacher Yang could also witness it.
For the invitation of his last disciple, Yang Yuanshen naturally accepted it happily. Niu Niu was a child who was excellent in character and learning and respected teachers and the way. Yang Yuanshen could not be more satisfied with this disciple.
At the end of June, the day of the graduation ceremony arrived. On this day, Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya both asked for leave to attend Niu Niu's graduation ceremony.
They did not drive either; the family took a taxi to the school. In this era, driving a private car was still a bit too high-profile. Su Xinghui did not want to be too high-profile, especially in an occasion like school. He did not want to become the focus of others' attention, nor did he want Niu Niu to receive too much attention.
However, as soon as their family got out of the taxi, they still became the focus of many people's attention. Su Xinghui was tall and handsome, Lu Xiaoya was beautiful and gentle and still had a big belly, and Niu Niu's height was also obviously taller than other children. Such a family naturally looked particularly eye-catching.
Su Xinghui also saw that among the parents who came to attend the graduation ceremony today, there were quite a few pregnant women who were showing. It seemed that after the family planning policy was relaxed, many parents who already had children wanted to have a second child. This was naturally good news.
Although Su Xinghui wanted to be low-key, as soon as he walked into the campus, many people still came up to greet him actively, calling "Mayor Su". Su Xinghui looked at their faces and they were relatively familiar. He knew a few of them; they were staff members of the municipal government. It seemed that their children were also going to attend today's graduation ceremony.
Su Xinghui did not put on airs either. He nodded and smiled at these subordinates casually and signaled them not to reveal his identity. Those subordinates also understood. On this occasion today, there were too many people. If Su Xinghui's identity was revealed, I'm afraid he would be surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
On the campus today, large banners and slogans were hung, with words congratulating the holding of the 2009 graduation ceremony of Linshan Experimental Elementary School. And everywhere on the campus, there were display boards of that kind, on which were photos of students from each class in the sixth grade, as well as their graduation sentiments, etc.
These display boards were designed very carefully. According to Niu Niu, these were all designed and produced by these students themselves, and the teachers did not intervene at all. Su Xinghui looked at those display boards and nodded repeatedly, saying that they were designed and produced very well.
These display boards were indeed designed and produced very well. The background of the display boards was paintings drawn by the students themselves, on which students' photos were pasted, including individual photos, group photos of the whole class, and small group photos of close classmates, plus the students' graduation sentiments and signatures. These display boards were indeed very meaningful.
Niu Niu led his family to the display board of their Class 6 (4) and said proudly, "I drew this display board."
Su Xinghui looked at that display board. On it was an ink painting. On the vast sea, the wind and rain were raging, a group of fish jumped high, vigorous and powerful, and in the sky, a few young eagles flew by. Although they still looked a bit immature, it could already be seen that they were not afraid of the wind and rain. ===== CHAPTER 4106 =====
