Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1123 383. Playing the game with my mother [Part ]

It was impossible to drink. Li An himself didn't want to drink, and he also suggested that no one should drink today.

Because drinking wastes time. A meal that could have been finished in an hour, but with alcohol, who knows when the meal can be finished? I can’t let the children stay up late with me.

Teacher Li said he didn't drink, which really made Dingzi feel relieved.

Speaking from personal experience, if he had accompanied Teacher Li well today, he would have had nothing to do for the next two days.

Dingzi's purpose of coming here is not to take a break.

Boss X had been planning to drink tonight, just to have some fun with Dingzi, as he had found the young man quite interesting from first sight.

Knowing that people in Chengdu like to eat hot pot, Boss X specially arranged hot pot to entertain Xiaoche's family.
-
A hot pot meal warms your heart and stomach.

What was warmed naturally were the hearts of the mother and daughter. They passed food to each other in various ways, which could be said to be a scene of deep mother-daughter love that "we don't have".

The one that was warmed was naturally Dingzi's stomach. Dingzi was an honest child. Boss X said you're welcome, so Dingzi finished four plates of meat by himself.

"More?"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I really can't eat any more."

Nail said the same thing half an hour ago.
-
Half an hour later, the car had taken Nail Sang Ping to the vicinity of the China Conservatory of Music.

After a trip to the summer camp, Xiaoche was already familiar with the area around Jig Hotel.

Walking in the streets in the evening, taking a stroll while digesting the food, is a rare experience for a family of three.

Dingzi really felt like traveling and wanted to take pictures of everything he saw along the way with his mobile phone.

Dingzi not only thought about it, but also did it. He not only took pictures of the city gate tower, but also took pictures of the car and Sang Ping.

"Another picture, Madam Boss, please smile more naturally and put your hand on Linlin's shoulder."

"Yes, that's it."

The east gate of the China Conservatory of Music is filled with talented music students from China. They are not bad at taking photos, and they look like cameramen.

"Another one, Linlin, please go away and give one to the boss lady alone."

The boss lady is also a lady, and Dingzi is not partial to anyone at all. He takes three photos of the car and never takes two photos of the boss lady.

"Let me see!"

When Dingzi finished taking pictures of Sang Ping, Xiaoche reached out and snatched Dingzi's phone again, "Oh, I don't want to see your photo album."

To be honest, Dingzi's photography skills are much better now than before he made videos.

At least it doesn’t look so abstract at first glance. If you jump carefully, you can even find one or two pictures to post on WeChat Moments.

"This one, this one, and this one."

Xiaoche selected three pictures and sent them to his mobile phone.

"Let me take a few pictures of you two, too."

Before Sang Ping finished speaking, Dingzi snatched back her phone.

The cart ran to the door and urged the nail to hurry up.

"Here I come." Nail pulled his hair and walked quickly behind the car, reminding: "Beauty, beauty."

Amid the laughter of Xiaoche, Sang Ping recorded this moment.

Then Xiaoche used his mobile phone to take a selfie of the family of three.

"Linlin, can we go into the school and take a look?" Dingzi was still a little curious about the top music school in the country.

"Yes." Xiao Che had been in there with his master's wife before.

Led by the car, the family of three walked into the school gate openly.

Dingzi Diaokong pretended to be cool to Zhang Yuan: This is the Huaguo Conservatory of Music, the most awesome music school in China
Even though Dingzi has never been to college, the threshold to admission to university is not high at all for him.

The first time was Rongyuan, and the second time was Huaguoyuan. Maybe when Linlin grows up a little, he will be able to enter all music conservatories in the country. It’s quite exciting to think about it.

"Linlin."

"What's up?"

“You have to work harder.”

"What kind of oil should I add?"
-
While the family of three was taking a walk, the first gold medalist of this year's Xiao Xiao Competition in China was born at the International Art Center.

Player No. 09 in Group A, Zhang Tianyou from Yenching University, got the first ticket to the global finals with a total score of 9.25.

In the lobby of the Zig Hotel, Boss X and Li An also knew the result, and they were reviewing today's game.

Boss X: "There is no controversy in Group A. We thought it would be this kid before the game."

Lee Ang: "You are indeed good at playing. Have you been learning from Feng Hanlin?"

Boss X: “Well, this kid is participating in the competition for the first time.”

Ang Lee: "When we first arrived in the afternoon, we caught up with this kid playing the instrument and listened for a while."

Boss X: “Linlin also listened.”

Li An laughed: "She was quite surprised. She hadn't even practiced the etudes."

Boss X also smiled and said, "The routes are different."

Li An: "Not really, she just hasn't gotten there yet. Let's wait until the second half of the year and let her practice 740 first. There's no rush to let her practice Xiao Lian. I don't think it's necessary. There are too many things she can practice in the meantime."

Boss X nodded and said, "Let's listen to the second place. The second place is Zhao Weilin's student."

The second child's score was 8.95, which was 0.3 points lower than the first one. But after listening generally, Li An felt that the second child's score was a bit low.

Boss X: "This set of music is not difficult."

Lee Ang: “The degree of completion is quite high.”

Boss X sighed, "This is our judging rule."

Li An thought about it and agreed, "Then this score is quite fair."

Boss X: "I think I have taken care of it, otherwise I wouldn't give it such a high score, but this kid did a really good job on this set of music."

moment.

Li An: "That's fine. Linlin's set of songs is not difficult overall. Only the last one is difficult."

Boss X: "Just listen to me. Don't think about anything. We're already here."

Li An: "Yes, I'll tell you. Let's listen to the rest."

Then the two of them took a quick look at the replays of the last few contestants.

After listening to this, Li An sighed that he was worthy of being Xiao Xiaosai.

The overall performance of the youngest contestants in Group A is amazing, and each session is better than the last.

On the one hand, Ang Lee also had to worry about the car.

From listening to the first few children, their styles seemed to be cast in the same mold, typical academic style.

If Xiaoche's performance were placed in Group A, it would definitely be unique.

So the question is, if Linlin is placed in Group A, what is the probability that Linlin will get a ticket.

He thinks the probability is still more than 80%, and Linlin's literal ability is still far beyond most children.

Oh, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I thought about it, but Li An couldn’t control his mouth: "Brother Yan, are there any players in Group C who need attention?"

Boss X: "There's nothing to be concerned about in Group C. According to previous years, people in this age group in Group C are basically from the affiliated high schools of various universities. How many have made the cut this time? Thirteen or fourteen?"

Lee An: “Fifteen.”

Boss X: "Then this year's Group C has two more places than the last year. Except for Linlin, they should all be in the second or third grade of the affiliated high school. At this stage, it is a truly all-round competition. I told you before that you should prepare your child mentally in advance."

Li An: "Understood."

By the time they reach junior high school, those who are able to stand out are those who have fought their way out of Groups A and B in this age group, and have actually already gone through multiple layers of screening.

Boss X: "If Linlin was younger, she would have a better chance of getting into Group B."

Li An: "Well, I just brought her here to experience it. I don't have any big goals."

Boss X: "She still has a long way to go." Li An: "Yes."

Boss X: "Hey, Xiaoyu said you guys are leaving on the 24th, why don't you stay for two more days?"

Li An: "My kids still have to go to school, and I have a lot of things to do at home."

Boss X: "I see your live broadcast is quite lively, how is it?"

Li An waved his hand: "Don't mention it, I'm too tired. If it weren't for Lao Tang and the others supporting me, I really couldn't do it by myself."

Boss X: "When will the link be posted?"

Ang Lee: "It will probably take the second half of the year at the earliest. We'll see how things turn out then. Let's finish the concert first and clean up the house."

Boss X: "How is the wind band doing?"

Ang Lee: "It's OK. All parts are progressing smoothly. Now we need a conductor. At that time, I thought of letting a teacher take charge, but now it seems that it is not possible."

Boss X: "Look for Fang Yongbo."

Li An: "He told me not to worry. Let's just leave it like this for now. Your words have put pressure on me again. I feel like this year is full of things to do. We still have our summer camp during the summer vacation."

Boss X: "The more capable you are, the more work you will get. Have you chosen a place?"

Li An: "I have made a preliminary selection. The place where a friend of mine got married last year is not bad. When should we start the action?"

Boss X: "The main thing is the venue. If you can secure the venue, it will be settled. When the event course posters and brochures are out, it will be done. Let me know when you have decided on the venue. It should be before Children's Day. Any problems?"

Ang Lee: "No problem."

Boss X: "That's all. What are your plans for tomorrow? Go to the stadium? Or listen to Novak's master class."

Li An: "I'll ask them later. Brother Yan, you go do your work tomorrow. We can arrange our own time."

Boss X: "Then I will leave you alone. I really have something to do tomorrow, so I will leave a car with you."

Li An: "Don't do that. I don't even know the way home. There's a subway in the city and a bus to the art center. Xiaoyu has told me everything. Don't worry about it."

Boss X: "Okay, I'll call you when the time comes. I'm leaving."

Not long after Ang Lee saw Boss X off, the three of them strolled back to the hotel in the car.
-
The four of them discussed it and decided on three routes for tomorrow.

Article 1.

The family of three went for a walk around Tiananmen Square early in the morning and returned before 4pm before the bus left, because there would be a live draw ceremony for Group C at 7pm at the International Art Center and contestants had to arrive in advance to register their information, otherwise they would be regarded as having voluntarily withdrawn from the competition.

Article .

I didn't walk far. I just walked around the neighborhood after breakfast, had some noodles with soybean paste at noon, then took the bus back to take a nap, then went to the art gallery to practice the piano, and then headed to the International Art Center to report.

Article .

After breakfast in the morning, we went directly to the Art Center to listen to Novak’s master class, and then we had some fun around the International Art Center in the afternoon.

Because the schedule for this trip is like this, I have a competition the day after tomorrow and definitely can't run around, and I have to leave for the airport at noon the day after tomorrow, so I won't have time to play.

Li An and Sang Ping's idea is to choose the third option, because Boss X also suggested taking Linlin to listen to a master class, and this itinerary is not tiring.

However, during the discussion, he also said that video replays of the master classes could be listened to.

Dingzi said that he preferred the third route, and he also wanted to choose the third route in his heart.

But he also wanted Linlin to focus on resting, and there was time for piano practice on the second route. He felt that Linlin still had to practice the piano, after all, she had a competition the day after tomorrow.

That’s right, none of the three adults thought about playing, and the first route was proposed by the little car at the beginning.

Xiaoche's idea was simple. It was the first time he went on a long journey with Aunt Sang and Dingzi, so he had to go out and have some fun.

Especially after taking a walk around the China Conservatory of Music just now, she became more determined in her thoughts. She could feel that Dingzi and Aunt Sang were both having a great time.

As long as it doesn't delay your reporting, you can practice the piano when you come back tomorrow night. Didn't the teacher say that the piano in the hall can be played 24 hours a day?

"Teacher~"

It was rare for Xiaoche to still want to stick to his own ideas after listening to the teacher's advice.

"it is good."

Before Sang Ping could even open her mouth, Li Ang made the decision.

"That's settled." Li An's eyes signaled Sang Ping that there was no need to say anything. "Let's have breakfast at the restaurant at 7 o'clock tomorrow, and then we'll set off directly. We'll go wherever we like. We won't go back to the hotel to take the bus. We'll take a taxi directly to the International Art Center. We won't practice the piano at night. I'll treat us to roast duck, and then we'll go to the night market. The day after tomorrow, Linlin, you sleep until you wake up naturally, then get up and go over the songs, and then we'll set off directly for the competition at noon."

After Ang Lee finished his plan, Xiaoche was so excited that he almost jumped up!
“Thank you, teacher!!!”

Looking at Li Ang's doting eyes, what could Sang Ping say?

She can't say that Linlin is almost spoiled by you, Teacher Li.

She couldn't, because she knew Linlin did it for her and Dingzi.

"Don't thank me yet." Li An raised his hand to interrupt.

Xiaoche shut up immediately, but the joy in his eyes continued to flow out.

Li An glanced at the time: "It's 9:40 now. I have to go to bed before 10:30. Can you do it?"

Xiaoche nodded vigorously.

Li An grinned: "Okay, let's go up."

Nail: "Teacher Li, can I add one more sentence?"

Li An: "Say."

Dingzi: "Teacher Li, you have to let me treat you at noon tomorrow."

Li An: "Okay, I want to eat noodles with soybean paste tomorrow no matter who treats me."

Nail: "No, please give me a chance."

Li An waved his hand: "If you want a chance, you can. Let us see your girlfriend someday. Then you will have the final say."

Xiaoche: “That makes sense~”

The nail choked.

Li An: "Wait, your boss's wife is here too. I'm not trying to rush you. Feel free to do whatever you want."

Ha ha ha ha--

After finishing the first day's journey, the four of them went upstairs and returned to their rooms in pairs.

While Dingzi was taking a shower, Li An opened TikTok and checked for nearby cake shops.

As he was watching, he received a WeChat message from Sang Ping.

Sang Ping wanted to invite Boss X to dinner and asked him if it was suitable, but the time was not convenient.

Li An understood Sang Ping's thoughts.

Boss X sent someone to pick him up at the airport, arranged a hotel, and held a welcoming banquet. Perhaps it didn't matter to Ang Lee, but Sang Ping couldn't take it for granted.

On the way to the hot pot restaurant today, Sang Ping whispered that she would pay the bill in the evening, but he shook his head at that time.

"I really don't have time this time. Let's wait until summer vacation."

After clicking send, Li An continued to browse cake shops. Why was the cake shop that he had booked for Xiaoche gone?
It only took a short while.

The message from the little car also came: Teacher, please give me the cake!

Ang Lee smiled and took a screenshot.

moment.

Linlin: Love you!
Linlin: Good night, teacher!
-
Although he has to go to bed before half past ten, Xiaoche can still use the little time before going to bed to look at the score again.

Putting down the phone with peace of mind, Xiaoche picked up the music sheet on the bedside table.

Bach's Three Inventions No. 14, her last piece in the competition.

"Auntie Sang, let me read the music."

Sang Ping in the next bed smiled but didn't respond. After a while, she secretly took a photo of Xiao Che holding the music score and sent it to Lao Che.

Lao Che is still eating stir-fried dishes.
