Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1113 373. Departure is imminent, tacit understanding of the motivation for the trip! [Part ]

Who would care about the heartbroken Wang Xiaogou? A farewell drama was being staged in front of the door of piano classroom No. 4.

Li An was right. The two sisters had agreed yesterday to meet in the classroom this morning.

On the afternoon of the 28th, which is : tomorrow afternoon, Yanjing time, the opening ceremony of the international selection of the th International Chopin Youth Piano Competition China Division Finals will be held at the Yanjing International Art Center.

In fact, the competition is about to begin, and the draw ceremony for Group A players will be held tomorrow night.

Normally, Ang Lee should have brought the car to see the opening ceremony.

It’s just that Ang Lee didn’t want to delay Xiao Che’s cultural courses too much, and there was also Meng Anhua’s work conference tomorrow night, so Ang Lee booked the flight for the 21st.

"Come on Linlin!"

"OK."

Xiao Bei certainly has a lot to say to his friends who are about to leave for Yanjing to participate in the competition, except for encouragement. However, time is limited, so fortunately Xiao Bei wrote down everything he wanted to say in the letter.

"Go back and read it later."

"The same to you!"

The two little girls were naturally referring to the "letter" they had just exchanged in the piano room.

"Bye, teacher! Bye, everyone! See you next week."

With the letter from Xiaoche, Xiaobei waved his hand, and finally looked at Xiaoche and stretched out his little fist. Xiaoche stretched out his fist and touched it with Xiaobei, and Xiaobei left happily.

"Bye, Xiaobei!"

"Bye, Xiaobei!"

"Bye-bye North!"

"Stop talking and get into the house!"

Today's class in Piano Classroom No. 4 continues.
-
Teaching assistant Xiaoche fully demonstrated his/her role and value.

From morning to afternoon, she helped students solve various problems.

Xiao Liu - emotional processing of four-bar rit.

Wang Xiaohu——Grabbing the keys with the little finger of his left hand.

Marco - Strict rhythm correction.

Qiao Zhizhi - the "secret" of whole-arm staccato.

I have to say that Li Ang should give half of the tuition fee to Xiao Che today.

With the little car here, this class can be as easy as it can be.

It was also during this process that Ang Lee made some new discoveries. Xiao Che was very good at summarizing practice methods.

For example, when it comes to timing the beat, Xiaoche will further refine the note values ​​on the score in order to make the beat of his performance more accurate.

When a quarter note beats, Xiaoche imagines the quarter note as the value of two eighth notes, and then imagines it as four sixteenth notes. With this kind of thinking exercise, Xiaoche is playing one note with three senses. After accumulating this over a long period of time, what kind of rhythm will Xiaoche not be able to recognize in one second?

Just like the asymmetrical rhythm practice formula she taught to Wang Xiaohu and Xiaobei, it was further refined and extended from this note value.

Looking back now, Li An believes that this is another reason why Xiaoche is so efficient in piano practice.

Behind genius, besides sweat, there is also a lot of thinking and summarizing.

How can a child like this not be outstanding?

Hey.

After Qiao Zhizhi's class, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

Li An had to accompany Lao Tang to the Rongcheng Concert Hall for rehearsal, so he left the car to Xiaoyun.

"Linlin, wait for Aunt Xu Li to come back and take you home."

"Well, goodbye teacher, goodbye Teacher Tang."

Lao Tang: "Bye."

Wang Xiaohu also came over and said, "Goodbye, teacher. Goodbye, Teacher Tang!"

Li An: "Let's go."
-
At five o'clock, Mu Xin finished his last class of the day.

After seeing off the last child and parent, Piano Classroom No. 4 finally became quiet.

The two children were drinking juice and playing games at the water bar, while Xiaoyun was still typing away at the front desk.

Haitao sat on the sofa in the hall looking a little depressed.

"do not do that."

Mu Xin took out two bottles of Coke from the freezer and threw one to Hai Tao, "You'll be more stressed this way."

"Oh," Haitao sighed while playing with the Coke bottle in his hand, "What should I do?"

What to do? Mu Xin also wanted to know what to do.

Li An is not here, and Lao Tang is not here, which means that after the three-person live broadcast on Wednesday, there will be a two-person live broadcast tonight.

"Sister Xin, how about we do something else today?"

"What are you doing?"

"Tell me about Xiaosai?"

"Hey, that's an idea."

Hai Tao's casual remark actually gave Mu Xin some ideas. After a moment, "It's settled. We'll have a special show tonight, a special episode on Xiao Xiao's competition. How about it?"

Hai Tao: "It's settled. You're in charge of the output, and I'll be in charge of the questions. Ahem, Sister Xin, what do you think of the champion of Group A in the last China Division?"

Mu Xin: “Really?”

Haitao: "Damn it, don't talk nonsense when the time comes, sister!"

Mu Xin shrugged: "You must not have watched the last competition."

Haitao shook his head: "Really not."

Mu Xin: "Then let me tell you a story. In the last domestic competition, the first place in Group A was leading by a huge margin, but in the end, the result in the global finals was not even in the top ten. At that time, the third place in Group A in China still took second place in the global finals."

Haitao: "Is it so dark?"

Mu Xin chuckled.

Haitao suddenly lowered his voice: "What about Linlin?"

Mu Xin: "It should be no problem for Linlin to get into the top three. There is no need to compete for first place in the domestic selection. It is enough for Linlin to get a ticket. Didn't the leader say that the most important thing is to participate?"

Haitao: "What can he say? Even if he cares, he can't show it. That would put pressure on Linlin. If he doesn't care, can he go out with her every day?"

Mu Xin sighed and glanced in the direction of the water bar, "That's what I meant. I hope everything goes well."

Haitao nodded and said, "I hope everything goes well. Linlin also represents our Piano Classroom No. 4."

Mu Xin: "Although I don't agree with this statement, there is nothing I can do."

Haitao: "Let's go, it's time for us to go upstairs and get ready, eh~"

Erre, before going upstairs, you went to the water bar and took a look. Two children were playing Gobang.

Mu Xin smiled kindly: "You two can play."

Haitao laughed: "Wang Xiaohu, you're going to lose this round again."

Brother Tiger: “Impossible!”
-
Wang Xiaohu lost again.

The current score is 7 to 1.

When the score reached 10 to 1, Wang Xiaohu stopped playing.

It’s so frustrating!

The key is that Wang Xiaohu took the initiative to invite him to the game. Before that, Wang Xiaohu had boasted that he was the number one Go master in Jinhua!

"Are you hungry?" Brother Xiaohu put away his chess and cards and changed the subject. "How about we go out and eat something first? My mom won't be back for another hour."

Xiaoche: "I'm fine. The teacher just sent me a message saying that grandpa will cook dinner in the evening and I have to go back to eat."

Wang Xiaohu: "Okay."

If he didn't have to go back to his grandfather's house for dinner in the evening, he would have wanted to go to his teacher's house for a free meal.

After a moment, "You'll leave the day after tomorrow."

Xiaoche: "Yeah." Wang Xiaohu hesitated for a moment, "Did you forget something?"

Xiaoche was puzzled: "Huh?"

Wang Xiaohu coughed: "Do you remember the first day of the teacher's live broadcast?"

Xiaoche curled her lips: "Can you please just say what you want to say?"

Wang Xiaohu paused, "I helped you record a video of the teacher playing the nightingale, and you promised me that you would treat me to a meal before you leave for the competition!"

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Che suddenly remembered and apologized, "I forgot. Sorry, I've been too busy recently. What do you want to eat? I'll go out and treat you now. An hour should be enough."

"It's okay. I know you've been busy lately." Wang Xiaohu was quite happy to see Che Lin like this. At least the other party was very sincere to him. "Forget it, let's talk about it after you come back from the game. You have to go home for dinner tonight. It would be boring for me to eat alone if you don't eat."

Xiaoche thought for a moment and said, "Are you free tomorrow morning?"

Wang Xiaohu was delighted. He really did have time: "Yes, I have time tomorrow morning, and I really need to go to the street tomorrow morning!"

Xiaoche was relieved when he saw this: "I'm going to go shopping tomorrow morning too, do you want to come with me? I'll treat you to lunch at noon! Anything you want!"

Oooooh!!! ...
Che Lin actually took the initiative to ask me out!!!
Treat yourself to a meal or order whatever you want! ! ! !
Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feeling his heart about to jump out of his chest, Wang Xiaohu nodded with restraint, "Alright, what time tomorrow morning? I also want to buy a book, let's go together."

Xiaoche: "I'm fine with it. I've already asked for leave from the teacher."

Wang Xiaohu: "Gather at the South Gate at 8:30 that morning."

Car: "Okay."

Wang Xiaohu paused again. He wanted to say: Can you please stop wearing Shipo’s school uniform?

It was not because of anything else, but because the last time the two of them went out alone, Xiaoche was wearing Shipo's school uniform, and he was wearing colorful clothes, which made people passing by look at him strangely.

It was as if he was a bad student.

Forget it.

I really can't say this, and sure enough, Wang Xiaohu thought for a moment and suddenly came up with a plan, which is brilliant~

Looking at Wang Xiaohu's inexplicably raised mouth, Xiao Che was very puzzled, "Hey!"

Wang Xiaohu suddenly came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoche was speechless: "I asked you what book you want to buy?"

"Oh." Wang Xiaohu scratched his head, "I don't know either."

Speaking of this, Brother Xiaohu lowered his voice and said, "My mother's birthday is coming soon, and I don't know what to give her."

Mom’s birthday!
Send a Gift!
Hearing Wang Xiaohu's distress, Xiaoche's eyes lit up. He is indeed a good brother! She is also worried about this matter! The several suggestions given by Xiaobei are not suitable for Aunt Sang!
Xiaoche: "When is Auntie's birthday?"

Wang Xiaohu: "April 30th. Our school is organizing a study tour next weekend, so I only have tomorrow to pick out a gift for my mom. I'm so worried."

What can a small car say about this!
I deeply! Have! The! Same! Feeling! Ah!
“I think it’s a good idea to give books.”

Xiaoche often sees Aunt Xu Li reading books in the parent lounge of Blue Sky, on the train, in the audience seats of the summer camp, and at the water bar, where she is sitting now.

"really?"

Brother Xiaohu, who was still unsure at first, suddenly became more determined, "But I don't know what book my mother wants to read recently."

Xiaoche smiled secretly: "You have to think like this, as long as it is given by you, Auntie will like it."

Wang Xiaohu was stunned. That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that?
At the same time, Xiaoche was also stunned for a moment. It seemed that these words were the voice message that Xiaobei sent to him the day before yesterday at noon.

Seeing Wang Xiaohu's happy expression, Xiaoche sighed that it was indeed easy to convince others.
"Come with me to the bookstore to choose tomorrow!" Wang Xiaohu invited.

Car: "Okay!"

Wang Xiaohu felt relieved. He believed that with Che Lin's help, he would be able to choose the most suitable book for his mother. Then he remembered that Che Lin had just said that she would go shopping tomorrow.

"By the way, what are you going to buy?"

The car hesitated.

She hesitated for a moment, then met Wang Xiaohu's curious gaze and pursed her lips: "We are the same."

Wang Xiaohu: 0_o! !
Xiaoche nodded and chuckled: "Yeah."

Wang Xiaohu tried to calm himself down again, "What are you going to buy for Aunt Sang?"

"I don't know," he finally talked about his own troubles. It turned out that Xiaoche had been troubled by this problem since the New Year.

Wang Xiaohu thought it was his turn to speak, and imitated his mother's tone, "Budget."

Xiaoche: "I have no say."

Wang Xiaohu was confused: "What do you mean? Are you short of money?"

Xiaoche shook his head: "I can't buy anything as expensive as I want, understand?"

Wang Xiaohu understood immediately. They were still middle school students after all. "You sound like you are quite rich. It doesn't matter. Let's just budget 200 yuan. It's not too much."

Xiaoche: "Okay, then, be more specific."

Wang Xiaohu then paused for a minute and finally blurted out, "I think it doesn't matter what you give as a gift. I believe that as long as you give it to her, Auntie will like it."

Xiaoche was not disappointed because she knew how difficult this question was!
"What hobbies does Aunt Sang usually have?"

When it comes to Aunt Sang’s hobby, the first thing Xiaoche thinks of is working. After finishing work in the store, he goes home and continues working. The floor tiles in the house are always kept as if they were just moved in, mainly because Aunt Sang kneels down to mop the floor almost every day.

Xiaoche also asked Aunt Sang, and Aunt Sang answered in person: My hobby is mopping the floor.

But can mopping the floor really be a hobby? Xiao Che couldn't agree with that, but she really didn't see Aunt Sang doing anything else besides working.

When he thought of this, Xiaoche felt upset again.

"Arlene?"

Xiao Che hummed softly, "Let's go to the bookstore tomorrow. I want to go shopping too."

Seeing that Xiao Che didn't mention Aunt Sang's hobbies, Wang Xiaohu didn't ask any more questions. His attention immediately turned to the next step. "Tomorrow I'll take you to a bookstore. There are all kinds of books there."

He said with a mysterious smile, "And there's a piano inside."

Xiaoche: "It can't be Beiyi Book City."

Wang Xiaohu: “Have you been there too?”

Xiaoche: "No, both the teacher and the senior sister recommended it."

Wang Xiaohu: "That's settled. I'll decide the route. See you tomorrow morning at 8:30!"

Xiaoche: "Well! Hurry up and think about what to eat for lunch tomorrow."

The two children were chatting when Grandpa Gao came to practice the piano.

When Grandpa Gao saw Xiaoche, he asked Xiaoche if he could help him listen to the hawthorn tree.

In this month's performance, Grandpa Gao will play "The Hawthorn Tree".

So five minutes later, looking at Grandpa Gao in front of the piano being taught by the little car, Brother Xiaohu felt really uncomfortable!

It's like eating at the table without him.

But it doesn’t matter, Brother Xiaohu can’t wait for the sun to rise again.
-
In the evening, Wang Xiaohu returned home and held his mobile phone waiting for the live broadcast.

I have to say that the live broadcast room tonight was not deserted at all. Teacher Mu was like he was holding a one-man talk show, which caused frequent laughter in the room.

Through tonight’s live broadcast, Wang Xiaohu also gained a better understanding of Xiao Xiaosai.

It can be simply summarized in four words - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
I really hope Che Lin can get a ticket to the global finals.

With good wishes, Wang Xiaohu also had a good sleep.

The next morning, as soon as the alarm rang, he got up and took a shower.

Returning to the bedroom, he opened the wardrobe and took out Shu Ren's spring school uniform with a smile.

Isn’t it wonderful?

Brother Xiaohu couldn't help but admire his own IQ. Since you like wearing school uniforms, let's go together!

In another small room, the school uniform that Xiaoche washed last night was still not dry on the clothesline.

My grandfather asked me not to practice the piano last night, so I washed all the clothes I wore last week while watching the live broadcast.

So what to wear today?

This kind of problem never wastes the car even a second.
