Chapter 356

Han Mo has sat in the waiting area with the children. Other shortlisted children have also sat down with their parents. Everyone is waiting for the final voting session and the announcement of the results.

Zhang Mingli slipped in through the back door.

The little guy whispered, "Dad, Uncle Zhang finally came."

Han Mo also saw Zhang Mingli, who was looking for his position, because everyone had already sat down. When he came in, he was particularly conspicuous. The invited judges were arranged according to their seats, and their names were pasted on the back of the chair.

Zhang Mingli's seat is closer to the inside. Everyone passing by should say "sorry, sorry". The expression was extremely embarrassed.

The paintings that can be shortlisted are excellent works selected in the country. Because the painting exhibition of the finals is located in Beidu, parents in other cities come all the way with their children to participate in the awards. Naturally, they attach great importance to it.

There is also a natural sense of superiority. They all think that their children are the best. Like Han Mo, he never thinks how excellent he is, but he always believes that the little guy is the best.

Maybe this is the mentality of being a parent. Your children are always the best.

The host on the stage is still introducing the details of the event, the purpose of the competition and the guests and judges.

The parents under the stage are already eager to try. After all, most parents come from other places. Of course, they hope their children can get the award. In fact, when they participate in the local selection, they think that as long as they can enter the national competition, they can see the world for their children.

But after really taking part in the national competition, everyone's goal is different. No one doesn't want to take the place.

"Our children began to learn painting at the age of 2. If we want to talk about the basis of painting, it is estimated that the children here are not as good as my son." Han Mo's mother is chatting with the parents behind him. Her expression is very familiar.

"You are great. You began to learn painting at the age of 2. We started to learn painting at the age of 4." The mother behind smiled and praised the children in front.

The mother in front smiled. Although she tried to control it, she couldn't hide the proud look on her face.

After a pause, the mother behind said, "although we started late, we have good talent. We have only studied for more than a year, which is equal to those who have studied for many years."

The mother sitting in front, who had just been proud, suddenly stiffened in her face, twitched in the corners of her eyes, and never said a word to the mother behind her.

The parents around are chatting in a low voice. The lights are concentrated on the stage. It's dark under the stage. Although they can't see each other clearly, some parents are selected from the same place, others may have stayed in the same hotel, or they may have known each other when they strolled around the exhibition. In short, the parents around are whispering.

The two parents behind Han Mo's side are from the same place. They are chatting in their hometown dialect. Although Han Mo can't speak that local dialect, they can understand it.

"I saw your children's paintings. The top three are OK."

"To tell you the truth, the headmaster said that we all have hope for the first prize."

"Indeed, your children's works are the most like paintings. I can't understand some of the other children's works. Is that a painting?"

"Our children have been copying since childhood. No matter the scenery or scene, they must be painted the most like before they can be completed. I am also strict with him at home. I can't eat or sleep until I finish painting."

"No wonder it's so similar. It's like it's taken by the camera."

Several parents regard their children as seed players, or the kindergartens selected may also give them some information about previous competitions. They all think their children are the best, and their parents speak with the smell of fire medicine. On the surface, they praise other people's children, but in fact, they imply that their children are the best.

Han Mo heard all this.

The little guy didn't understand what the adults were talking about. He sat up straight. Because he was short, he couldn't see clearly on the stage. He kept holding out his small head.

Han Mo suddenly thought of something and asked with a smile, "Yuxuan, what award do you think you will win?"

In fact, Han Mo just wants Xuanxuan to say the first prize. In his heart, he just wants his child to win the first prize.

The little guy raised his chin, thought seriously for a moment, and showed a bright and naive smile on his face, "Xuanxuan wants to win the Excellence Award."

Han Mo didn't swallow his saliva. He choked and coughed for a long time.

The competition is divided into the first, second and third prizes, as well as the excellence prize. However, the excellence prize can be obtained by every child shortlisted in the exhibition, that is, it means that he has not won the prize. This award is an encouragement. It proves that he has come and participated, and it is not bad. Everyone wants to get the first prize, and he will get the third prize if he is in trouble.

The little guy knew what the awards were, but he didn't know the meaning of the awards. Seeing that his father was choked, his fleshy little hand patted his father on the back.

Han Mo asked curiously, "why does Xuanxuan want to win the excellence award?"

"Because Xuanxuan is excellent, only excellent children will win the Excellence Award." The little guy looked serious.

Han Mo was bewildered by the little guy's answer. He wanted to popularize the order of various awards with his children, but on second thought, if the child really had to win the Excellence Award, why should he make the child feel that he won the award because he was not outstanding.

As he thought at the beginning, he would be a very excellent child if he could reach this step and be shortlisted in the national finals.

Han Mo swallowed what he had said.

As time went by, the voting session on the stage was over. After voting, Zhang Mingli specially looked for the area where the little contestants and parents sat, but because the light was too dark, he didn't find Han Mo and the little guy.

The awards have been counted, and the host took the stage with all the winners in his hand.

Han Mo obviously felt that the parents around him moved.

He glanced at the little guy. Xuanxuan even stretched out her small head and looked forward to the host. Although the little guy had a vague concept of the size of the award, he was still looking forward to the award.

Maybe that's why many children participate in the competition, which will make every child win a prize. Even if they don't get the ranking, they will be given a certificate of excellence.

In fact, children are only interested in the award itself. They are not as utilitarian as adults.

There were some small disturbances. When the host took the list on stage, it was quiet.

"The first announcement is the children who won the Excellence Award."
