Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1199 459. Is this the price? Milk Tea Star is online
At 22:47 Yanjing time, the sky in Berlin was still bright.

Tang Xiaoxing was sitting at the desk holding her cell phone, with a cup of milk tea she had just made on the table.

Linlin: Wow, Xiaoxing, you are so awesome!
Little Star: It's not that great! It's very simple. First, make a cup of tea, any kind of tea will do. Then wait for ten minutes, take out the tea leaves, and finally pour 200 ml of milk.

Linlin: It looks delicious.

Little Star: I can only say it’s better than expected. Linlin, do you like milk tea?
Linlin: I like it too, but I prefer bubble tea.

Little Star: Bubble tea? Is it tea made with sparkling water?

Linlin: No, please wait a moment.
Little Star: Yeah!

While waiting for Xiaoche to reply, she also sent a message to her mother.

Normally, she should be practicing the piano at this time, but today she didn't feel like practicing at all.

From the time she woke up in the morning till now, apart from waiting for Linlin's message that she was out of school, she had spent the rest of the time checking her phone.

This was the first time she indulged herself like this.

But it didn't seem interesting. Fortunately, she found a tutorial on how to make milk tea.

Finally I found something to do.

It sounds simple and looks simple, but it is a bit troublesome to actually do it.

The cup she gave to Xiaoche was the fourth cup she had made, the first two having been failures.

She used warm water to make the first cup of tea, which resulted in the tea leaves not being brewed and it tasted like milk mixed with water.

For the second cup, she forgot to take out the tea leaves and poured the milk directly into the quilt, making a mess in the cup.

The third cup tasted good, and she wanted to drink again in the afternoon, so she made the fourth cup while chatting with Xiaoche just now.

Just then a message flashed by.

She quickly switched to the dialog box and she knew it couldn't be her mother.

Linlin: My old phone is completely broken! I want to find you a cup of bubble tea!

Little Star: It’s okay. If you like it, it must be delicious!

Linlin: It's really delicious. Although it's called bubble tea, it tastes more like fruity sugar water. There are various flavors. I like the pineapple flavor the most.
Tang Xiaoxing became excited.

Little Star: I like pineapple flavor too! I love eating pineapples!
Linlin: Yeah! It’s super delicious, right? I like to eat it directly, without soaking it in salt water.

Little Star: Huh? Won’t it cut your tongue?
Linlin: No, I always eat it as it is. It’s really satisfying to eat it in big mouthfuls!

Little Star: I don’t dare. I’m afraid. I only dare to eat pickled ones, and I have to eat them in small bites.
Linlin: It's okay. You can drink pineapple-flavored bubble tea. It's also very enjoyable. When you come to Chengdu during the summer vacation, I will treat you to tea every day.

When Tang Xiaoxing read the message, it was as if she could smell the scent of summer in Chengdu. How happy she would be if she could really go there at that time.

Ugh.

Little Star: Linlin, let me tell you something. I may not be able to attend the summer camp this summer.

Linlin: Huh? Didn’t you say before that it wasn’t possible? Why is it suddenly impossible?
Little Star: I’m sorry, Linlin. Actually, I could only stay for a week this time because I had a concert here at the end of June. It was only after I said I wanted to stay at home for a few more days that my uncle and grandfather agreed to let me stay a few more days. Although they didn’t say that I couldn’t attend the summer camp, my schedule for July and August has already been arranged and the time is very tight, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend the summer camp then.
Little Star: Wait until I finish the competition. Maybe I’ll have a chance to go to Chengdu the year after next. You must treat me to bubble tea then! It’s a deal!

Then Tang Xiaoxing saw a smirking little rabbit popping out from the side of the car's head.

Linlin: Maybe we don’t have to wait until the year after next. There is one thing I haven’t told you. I will go to Yanjing in the middle of next month, which is about the same time you will come back. I will definitely bring you a cup of bubble tea then!

Tang Xiaoxing immediately covered his mouth with joy.

Is the car coming to Yanjing next month? ! ! !
Little Star: That’s great, Linlin! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
Linlin: I want to give you a surprise. Hehe, I wonder if you will have time to attend a concert then.

Little Star: Yes! Definitely! Is it Teacher Li’s concert? Grandpa promised me that he would let me go to the concert.
Linlin: Can you talk to your grandfather and watch one more show?

Little Star: Okay! Which one? I will definitely go with you to watch it.

Linlin: Maybe you can only watch it by yourself, because this concert is mine!

Tang Xiaoxing was so excited that he made typos repeatedly. He deleted them again and again, and then deleted them again. He simply sent a voice message directly.

"That's great, Linlin! Which concert hall?"

Linlin: It’s at the National Grand Theater. I have to thank your uncle for that. He told my teacher that I should go to the Yanjing Theater to perform.

Uncle?

Tang Xiaoxing found it a little hard to accept for a moment. Why would his uncle suddenly invite Linlin to hold a concert at the Grand Theater?
Little Star: Which show are you in?
Could it be that after seeing Xiaosai, the uncle also felt sorry for Linlin? This made sense.

Linlin: Concert
Special?!
Tang Xiaoxing sat up straight away with his phone in his hand. It was actually a special show? !

She's just quiet, but she's not stupid.

Just because she couldn't fill her milk tea properly didn't mean she didn't understand what such a concert meant.

Born in such a family, it was hard for her to understand some things.

Next month is the opening of the Grand Theater’s third music season this year. In order to be able to hold a solo show during this period, I must be carefully selected by my uncle and grandfather.

As far as she knew, there were no less than five or six well-known soloists waiting in line for such an opportunity.

Uncle and Grandpa actually chose Linlin?!

Tang Xiaoxing didn’t think that Xiaoche was not qualified. Compared with people of the same age, Linlin was definitely qualified.

But this was too surprising to her.

How could uncle and grandfather?
Is it really because Linlin’s performance during the Xiaoxiao competition impressed uncle and grandfather?
She couldn't believe it.

Little Star: Don’t worry, Linlin! I will definitely go on stage and give you flowers!

Although Tang Xiaoxing couldn't understand why, she was happy for Linlin.

Linlin: Hey, thank you, Xiaoxing! By the way, Xiaoxing, you have to keep this a secret for me.

Tang Xiaoxing was still thinking about asking her family, but when she heard Xiaoche say that, she gave up the idea.

Little Star: Well! Linlin, isn’t it time for you to go to bed?

Linlin: I’m not sleepy. Are you going to practice the piano?
Little Star: I want to practice, but I don’t want to practice, hahahaha
Linlin: If you don’t want to practice, then don’t practice. You should take a day off. The teacher always says that you should take a day off when you need to.
Little Star: Teacher Li is really nice, but my professor also told me to take a day off. I don’t know what happened to him all of a sudden.

Linlin: Because your recording yesterday moved him. He thought you played so well and thought you should take a day off.
Little Star: I hope so, but I think he thinks I'm hopeless. Let the kid rest for a day. It doesn't matter anyway.
Linlin: Xiaoxing, you can’t think like that. I don’t know why, but after listening to you talk about the professor’s reaction yesterday, I always feel that he really thinks that your playing is very good.
Little Star: I can’t feel it. He is always like this. No matter how I play, he always says it’s good.

Linlin: What if he thinks that any way you play is good? Xiaoxing, I know what your problem is. You must be asking him if he thinks that you play well this way, why would he ask you to play in another way, right?
This is Tang Xiaoxing’s point!
Little Star: Yes, why would he do that? So I don’t believe in his approval of me at all.

Linlin: Xiaoxing, you are preparing for the competition. This is your first competition, right?
Little Star: Yes!
Linlin: That means you don’t have any competition experience.

Little Star: Yeah!
Linlin: No matter what your purpose is for participating in the competition, I think you must have your own purpose. Although your grandfather and uncle have high expectations for you, you must have your own purpose, right?
Little Star: Yes!
Linlin: Let me guess again. You want to get a good grade.

Little Star: Of course!
Linlin: Your professor also wants you to get good grades, right?
Tang Xiaoxing really hadn't thought about this question for a moment.

Little Star: Yeah

Linlin: Have you ever thought that he asked you to play like that so that you can achieve a good result in the future competition, because he knows more about that competition?

It seemed to be true. Tang Xiaoxing became hesitant again for a moment. What Linlin said did make sense, but would she definitely not get a good grade if she played according to her own ideas?

Linlin: You must be wondering now why you can't get a good grade on your own.

Tang Xiaoxing was shocked!

Little Star: Linlin, how did you know? I was just thinking about this question!

Linlin: If I were you, I would definitely think so. But Xiaoxing, this does not contradict the professor's praise of you. The professor agrees with your personal treatment of the work, but at the same time he hopes that you will play it in another way. Is there any contradiction between them?

Tang Xiaoxing fell into deep thought, it seems that
Linlin: The professor just knows better what kind of processing can get higher scores from the judges. That’s how the competition works. In the end, it’s the scores that count.
a long time.

Little Star: Linlin, can I ask you a few questions?
Linlin: Ask
Little Star: Did you play the guitar completely according to your own ideas in this competition?

Linlin: Well, the teacher gave me a lot of guidance based on my ideas.

Little Star: Teacher Li is so nice
Linlin: The teacher is always like this. He says whatever I play is good. He is the same as your professor.
Little Star: But the professor can’t accept me preparing for the competition according to my own ideas.
Linlin: I don’t know much about the Chopin Competition, but I guess it must be very difficult to judge. The contestants who make it to the final must be very talented.
Little Star: Indeed
Linlin: What I understand is that the professor knows what kind of music the judges will prefer in the end, so he is preparing for you in advance. You also said that you have goals. Isn’t the professor doing this to help you achieve your goals?
Another long time.

Little Star: Linlin, I think I understand. Thank you. I shouldn’t be depressed today.

Another cute little rabbit expression appeared.

Linlin: The professor said you should take a day off, you should believe him.

Little Star: Okay, then I will listen to the professor and you and not practice the piano today.

Linlin: That’s right!
Little Star: But I still don’t want to continue taking classes with the professor. I actually know that the professor is doing this for my own good, but I can’t play the kind of music that I don’t like. When I practice the piano, I can’t help but play according to my own ideas, but at the same time I have to be wary of all the don’ts and don’ts that the professor says. I’m really in pain.

Linlin: Xiaoxing, I also want to ask you a question.

Little Star: Ask
Linlin: Why do you have to listen to your uncle and grandfather? Don’t your parents give you any advice?

Little Star: They will also listen to uncle and grandfather

Linlin: Okay, have you told your uncle that you don’t want to learn piano from the professor?

Little Star: No
Linlin: Why don’t you tell them?

Little Star: I don’t know either. Maybe I’m used to it. Just like my dad, whatever grandpa says is the truth. Grandpa won’t listen to my ideas.
Linlin: But you didn’t tell grandpa what you were thinking, right?

Tang Xiaoxing sighed softly. She didn't know how to explain this problem to Xiaoche.

Linlin: Go ahead and give it a try. At least you’ve tried it. And if you don’t express your thoughts, grandpa will always think that there’s nothing wrong with you.

Little Star: OK! I will tell Grandpa when I get home this time.
Linlin: Come on!
Little Star: Hey! Come on!

Linlin: Don’t sigh!
Little Star: Linlin, you don’t know how many teachers I have changed in the past year since I went abroad. I don’t know what my next teacher will be like, and what kind of teacher is suitable for me. Teacher Chen often doesn’t understand me, but I am still very happy to learn piano with him.
Linlin: I think there is a teacher who is very suitable for you.

Little Star: Who is it?

Linlin: Teacher
Tang Xiaoxing was slightly stunned.

Little Star: Teacher Li?

Linlin: Yes, don’t you think that teacher is really suitable for you?

Tang Xiaoxing couldn't even think about learning piano with Teacher Li. How could she have the chance to learn piano with Teacher Li?

Grandpa and uncle would never agree.

With just a little imagination, Tang Xiaoxing seemed to have felt a special kind of happiness.

Little Star: It would be great if I could really learn piano from Teacher Li.

But this kind of happiness is not something she can have. Even if her grandfather agrees, she can only stay in Yanjing for ten days next month, and then she will have to wait until the Chinese New Year to return home.

but
Maybe during the ten-day holiday next month, she could secretly take a class with Teacher Li one day?
When he thought of this, Tang Xiaoxing's heart immediately became hot.

There is a chance! Grandpa promised that these ten days are her vacation!
Little Star: Linlin, can you do me a favor?

00: 07.

Wine table.

Ang Lee listened to Tang Xiaoxing's entire piano learning story in detail and even sobered up.

How to say.

It's quite emotional.

Unconsciously, the label of "customer" that was attached to Tang Xiaoxing in his mind gradually became blurred.

It’s just a few trips to Chengdu in the next month.

Even for the sake of the child, he was willing to do so.

"I try my best."

Li An still couldn't guarantee anything at this time. Picking up the wine glass, he looked at the three people from the Tang family solemnly.

Repeat again: "I'll try my best"

As he said this, he raised his head and drank the cup.

At this moment, Mr. Tang said with a smile: "Li An, put down your glass first."

Li An stopped what he was doing, thinking, what else does the old man want to tell you? He gently put down the wine glass.

The table fell silent again for a moment.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tang Zhongfu's face.

Having said so much and having drunk so much, Tang Zhongfu felt that it was enough.

"Lee An."

"Our idea is to send Xiaoxing to Chengdu next year."

"I know this is very difficult for you."

Li An immediately thought that he was still drunk, and then his eyes became dazzled, and he saw a line of small blue words floating up in front of him?
[Tang Caiyun's teacher-student index increased to 94]

this.
this.
This. Is the price?

Ang Lee seems to have been formatted again.
