"So that's how it is!" Mengmeng understood.
After lining up in the corridor, the children of Class 1 walked towards the playground under the guidance of their homeroom teacher.
On the playground, the sixth-graders stood neatly on the plastic track, each holding a bright red scarf in their hands.
"The Young Pioneers admission ceremony begins now..."
On the stage, as the principal's voice faded, the national flag was raised, and the anthem played.
"Now, may the sixth graders please come forward to tie the red scarves for the new Young Pioneers!"
After the anthem stopped, the principal's voice rang out once again.
The older students from sixth grade came forward one by one to tie the red scarves on the new first-graders.
"Little girl, you really are pretty." A sixth-grader tying Mengmeng's scarf complimented her while securing the fabric.
"You have good taste," Mengmeng nodded in complete agreement.
