Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1175 435. Concert in Memories [Part ]

The sports meet has come to an end for the time being, and other students have begun to prepare for the May Day holiday, but the strange foursome dare not rest.

There were less than five hours left until the afternoon concert began.

The four-member group went home to prepare for dinner and agreed to meet in the piano classroom at 2:40.

At noon, Xiaoche got some of Aunt Xu Li's birthday cake for lunch, and naturally also said a sincere "Happy Birthday, Aunt Xu".

Today is the last day of April, and it is also Xu Li’s birthday. The cake was ordered by Li An and his friends yesterday.

Xu Li couldn't remember when was the last time she celebrated her birthday. At her age now, celebrating her birthday is actually a downside because after today means she will be one year older.

"Sister Xu, what you said is not right." Haitao said, "If you go out and say you are 28, people will believe you. If they don't believe it, ask Brother An."

Xu Li smiled and shook her head, ignoring it.

Li An took over the conversation: "Twenty-eight is a bit exaggerated, but Sister Xu looks a little over thirty, not like someone in her forties at all."

Mu Xin: “Agree.”

Xiaoyun: "I agree."

Lao Tang: “Agree.”

Xiaoche: “Agreed!”

Ha ha ha ha--

Amidst laughter, Xu Li made a wish.

"Then no one should be absent tonight, let's go have dinner together."

Xu Li proposed and everyone seconded.

Haitao: "Of course you should. It would be unreasonable if you don't treat us to a meal."

Xu Li: "Call Zhang Miao as well."

Haitao: "Well, she went back to her hometown this morning."

Li An: "Sister Xu, you decide who to call, we just eat."

Xu Li: "We are enough. Linlin, are you going home today? Let's go together in the evening."

Xiao Che originally planned to go home today, but Aunt Xu Li invited her, "Hey, sure, Aunt Xu."

Li An: "Will Xiaohu's grandparents attend?"

Xu Li: "Don't call them. Then at 7:30 pm, the same place."

Li An: "Same place, what time does Xiaohu finish school today?"

Xu Li: "Half past six."

Haitao: "That's a perfect time. I'm going to go out for a while and I'll pick him up then."

Mu Xin: "Linlin, what time will you finish?"

Xiaoche: "I should be back before half past five."

Li An: "Okay, then you can come back by yourself this afternoon, and go up and get ready. Won't your friend be here soon?"

Xiaoyun: "Linlin, do you need to put on makeup?"

Xiao Che waved her hands: "We won't wear makeup, we'll just wear school uniforms."

Li Anxin smiled and thought that this concert was quite simple.
-
In fact, the foursome had discussed clothing and makeup issues a lot in the past two days.

Logically speaking, since it is a concert and a stage performance, some effort should be made to pay attention to the costumes and props.

But the actual situation is that Xiaoguan is the only one who has this idea.

Those who held opposing views were A Qian and Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang’s reason was that there were no suitable costumes for the performance.

Ah Qian thinks that he is a boy, how can a boy wear makeup?
The small car is in the middle, it doesn’t matter whether it is used or not.

After all, there was no lighting, and their performance podium was very close to the students in the audience, so even if they put on stage makeup, the effect would not be good.

After some discussion, the four finally decided to keep it simple, not wear makeup, and wear school uniforms.

There is another episode here.

The three wanted Xiaoche to wear the performance costume alone, but Xiaoche refused.

Xiaoche’s reason was very simple. The four-member group had to go on stage neatly, either all wearing formal attire or all wearing school uniforms.

Another thing is that she also felt it was too hot.

Chengdu seems to have entered summer these two days.
-
With the arrival of Zhang, Guan and Chen, after another hour of rehearsal, the four children finished the final rehearsal with one and a half hours left before the concert.

"Wow——————"

The spectators included four teachers including Li An, as well as Xu Li and Xiao Yun.

I have to say that the performance of the four children was really great.

Facing the teachers' applause, Xiaoche was fine, but the other three children seemed a little embarrassed.

"It's very good." Li Ang once again affirmed, "If we can arrange this program as a chorus, the effect will be even better."

"Linlin, you can give the music teacher some advice and organize a chorus, add sign language, and practice well so that you can participate in our city's elementary and middle school chorus competition next semester."

Xiaoche: "Ah? Is there such a competition?"

Li An: "There will be one this year, right after the city's primary and secondary school wind band competition. Just like the wind band competition, it will be held in each district first, and then in the city."

Haitao: "Shipo is also considered a school in Yudong District, right?"

Li An: "That's not nonsense, they are all from Yudong District, and there are experiments."

Old Tang Le: "If Shi Po wants to participate, then he will have to meet the book man, right?"

When Xiao Guan heard the word "scholar", his heart shuddered, and he hurriedly asked Xiao Che in a low voice: "Alin, is there a scholar named Tiger?"

Xiaoche: “Yes.”

Ah Qian: “This is not the end.”

The whispering of several children on the stage caught Ang Lee's attention.

"What are you guys whispering about?" Li An asked with a smile, "Have you already started planning?"

Chen Qian hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, Teacher Li, we don't have any plans. Even if we can participate, we can't compete with the book man."

Xiao Che glared at him. Why? "What did you say?"

The conversation between the two children also made the adults laugh.

"You're already saying you can't win before we even start the competition," Hai Tao joked. "Boys, don't be scared before the competition. You guys have your own partners."

Chen Qian already knew what a steel partner meant, and he also knew that the steel partner the male teacher was talking about was A-Lin, and he also knew that A-Lin was very powerful, but the problem was, "Teacher, Shu Ren also has a very powerful male classmate."

After hearing what Chen Qian said, Hai Tao and the others laughed even more: "You are not talking about Wang Xiaohu, are you?"

"That's him! He's a legendary figure."

Chen Qian didn't know what he had said wrong, he just felt that the teachers' expressions at the moment were full of amusement.

Haitao and the others were indeed a little puzzled. Wang Xiaohu clearly helped you rehearse last Saturday, so how come you guys act like you don't know him at all?

Lao Tang: "Don't you know each other?"

Xiaoche answered first: "I don't know him."

So that's what it is. After hearing what Xiaoche said, the adults all understood. After all this time, they realized that the problem was with Xiaoche.

Hai Taole: "Male classmate, what's your name?"

Chen Qian: "Teacher, my name is Chen Qian, which means modest."

Xiaoche: "My deskmate." Haitao nodded: "Student Chen Qian, since you don't know Wang Xiaohu, how do you know that Wang Xiaohu is a legendary figure? Who told you?"

Chen Qian: "A classmate in an extracurricular study group told me that she was in the same class as Wang Xiaohu. She said that Wang Xiaohu was the conductor of their school's symphony orchestra and the director of the Culture and Sports Department. He was a well-known figure in the school."

Xu Li really didn't know what expression to make about this and could only smile faintly.

Xiao Che also took over the conversation at this time, thinking that Ah Qian had stopped talking here, and if he continued, Aunt Xu Li would not be able to laugh anymore.

"Okay, Qian, you have to be more confident. You are also very good. You have won a prize in the district math competition."

Chen Qian scratched his head: "But a singing competition is not about solving math problems."

Li An: "Okay, Linlin, don't talk anymore. Come on, all three of you, take a seat. I want to ask you a few questions."

Xiaoche: “~”

Then the question-and-answer session began.

Li An: "Just tell the truth, don't be afraid. How does Che Lin usually perform in school?"

As Ang Lee finished speaking, the stage exploded with noise, and the three people were chattering so loudly that no one could hear what they were saying.

Li An: "Come on, come on, Chen Qian, you speak first, tell the truth, don't be afraid, she won't dare to retaliate against you."

Xiaoche: “~~”

Chen Qian stood up and said, "Teacher Li, I promise that everything I said is true. A-Lin is doing very well in school."

Haitao: "Let's talk about study."

Chen Qian nodded solemnly: "Alin is the most studious student I have ever seen!"

The most curly?
This answer was a bit unexpected for everyone. If the word "successful" is used to describe Xiaoche's piano practice, then everyone would understand. But is Xiaoche also slow in studying?
I haven’t heard Ang Lee say that, and Xiaoche doesn’t have time to study.

Xiao Che raised his hand, but Haitao asked him to put it down, "Student Chen, please elaborate."

Chen Qian: "I have never seen a student who uses breaks to do homework every day. I have never seen one. When school started, I thought A-Lin was just pretending to be more diligent."

Car: “.”

The adults laughed again.

Chen Qian: "I really thought so at the time, but later I found that she was like this every day. For example, in the second math class in the morning, the teacher assigned homework, and she started writing after running. It was like this every day, which gave me pressure."

Ha ha ha ha--

Chen Qian: "Really, when I entered school, I thought my grades were pretty good, but after sitting next to her for a while, I felt a huge pressure. Every time I saw her start doing homework after class, I didn't dare go out to play."

Ha ha ha ha--

Chen Qian: "She really works hard! She is very serious in class, especially in math, Chinese and foreign languages."

Li An: "Okay, thank you. Now give her some suggestions on her studies."

Chen Qian: “Ah?”

Li An: "Don't worry, if she dares to cause trouble for you, I will deal with her."

Xiaoche: “~~~~~”

In this case, Chen Qian looked around with some embarrassment. Xiaoche shrugged and turned his head away.

Chen Qian: "Well, there's nothing wrong with A-Lin's studies, it's just that..."

Mu Xin: “What is it?”

Chen Qian: "She just likes doing homework so much, so sometimes she does her homework in her extra classes."

Xiaoguan shook his head violently!
Ang Lee: "Oh?"

Car: “.”

Chen Qian: "In fact, the four minor subjects are still very important. They are the main subjects in high school."

Li An: "That's right. Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen."

After a pause, he asked, "How is she socially, does she have any other friends besides you three?"

Xiaoguan suddenly raised his hand.

Li An: "Student Guan, you say."

Xiao Guan stood up and said, "Teacher Li, I want to talk about the issue of A-lin using her extra classes to do her homework. She did this to save time to practice the piano at home."

Xiao Zhang on the side added: "Yes!"

Xiao Guan continued, "For a while she told us she was very anxious. Although she didn't say why, Xiao Zhang and I knew that there were some problems with the piano repertoire she was participating in the competition. In addition, we also had to prepare for the exam during that period. She had no choice but to do homework in the secondary class in order to squeeze out more time to practice the piano at home."

Xiao Zhang at the side added again: "Yes!"

Chen Qian: "Teacher Li, I didn't know this was the case. I didn't explain it clearly just now. A-Lin didn't do homework for all the elective classes. She mainly did it before the exam."

So that's how it is. Li Ang and the others couldn't help but nodded.

Li An knew which part it was, "Okay, Xiao Guan, please continue."

Xiao Guan chuckled and said, "Teacher Li, A-Lin is very popular in our class. If you don't believe me, you can ask other students in our class when you have the chance."

Lao Tang smiled: "Really? I'm quite surprised. Is classmate A-Lin good at socializing?"

Xiao Guan shook his head, then thought about it and nodded, then thought about it again and it was wrong, and suddenly hesitated: "No, no, no, um, yes! No! No! Arlene is not the kind of person who likes to make friends, but many classmates in the class like her very much!"

Xiaoche finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "No way!"

Xiao Guan: “Yes, there is!”

Li An: "Linlin."

Xiao Che had no choice but to shut up. She was really impressed by Xiao Guan's words!
Xiao Guan: "Alin is the most enthusiastic of all the classmates I know, but she won't say it."

"She just helps others quietly and doesn't ask others to do anything for her."

Chen Qian nodded frantically in agreement.

Xiao Guan recalled: "When I first met Ah Lin, I didn't like her at all. She gave me the same feeling as Ah Qian, very pretentious."

Car sweat.

"Because the four of us are a big group, the teacher asked us to introduce ourselves to each other on the first day of registration, and each student said a lot."

"When it was A-Lin's turn, she just said, 'My name is Che-Lin,' and then she just sat there without saying anything. The atmosphere suddenly became tense."

"Then we had to do a general cleaning after the report. The teacher assigned our group to the sanitation area. I was assigned to clean the stairs on the first and second floors with Arlene. I was very unhappy at the time because I didn't want to be alone with Arlene. The stairs on the first and second floors were particularly dirty, so I acted very unhappy and asked her which floor she was cleaning. She said it didn't matter, so I said I was cleaning the second floor and ignored her."

"Because everyone needs tools for the general cleaning, when it was our sanitation area, there were only some tattered and unusable mops left, so Teacher Gao asked us to wait."

"When Teacher Gao came back with the new tools and distributed them to us, I found that Alin had disappeared. I thought she had gone into hiding because she didn't want to work. I was so angry that I decided to sweep all the garbage from the second floor to the first floor!"

"When I got to the sanitation area with a mop, I found that the first and second floors had already been cleaned, and they were cleaned very cleanly!"

"I was stunned at the time. Who did this? Then I saw Alin coming out of the girls' bathroom with a rag. I asked her who cleaned the first and second floors. She said she did it. I asked her where she got the mop, and she shook the rag in her hand."

After hearing this, all the adults looked at Xiaoche again. Everyone thought they knew Xiaoche well enough.

"Then I felt so ashamed, extremely ashamed. I suddenly felt that I had gone too far. I was clearly unhappy with her when she was assigning floors, but she ended up cleaning the second floor as well, when she was supposed to only clean the first floor."

"I was very touched. I said thank you, but she said no. Although she was still cold, the feeling I had was completely different. I immediately thought this female classmate was so cool."

Xiao Che couldn't help sighing again, "Guan, you have too many inner thoughts. You think I'm cold just because I don't know you well. I'm always like that to people I don't know well. And I didn't do it to help you. I knew you couldn't do the work. If I didn't help you clean the second floor, you would definitely dirty the first floor again when I did it yourself."

Xiao Guan: "So I said you're cool! And you said you're always cold to people you don't know well, so didn't you share all the potato chips I bought for you the next day with everyone?"

Xiaoche: "I just can't finish such a big bag by myself."

Xiao Zhang: "Don't be so stubborn, you just wanted to share it with us."

As they were talking, Ah Qian, Xiao Guan and Xiao Zhang all started humming at the same time.

That's right!

They already knew Arlene too well.
