Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1257, Section 477: Plans and Awakening! Ruthless Emperor x2
As for the next steps, Xiao Che had already made plans.

"me."

"Practicing piano before going to school."

"Ah."

"Try to squeeze out as much practice time as possible while ensuring your academic performance."

"The immediate goal is to prepare the repertoire for the concerts in August and September."

"I have already received the program for the September concert, but I don't know yet what I will be playing for the August concert."

At this moment, Tang Xiaoxing interjected, asking, "Is the concert in August part of the Chengdu Summer Music Festival?"

"Hmm, I guess the teacher will let me choose some pieces from the repertoire of this concert, otherwise there won't be enough time. When I get back, I'll have to start practicing 740. The teacher said that 740 is more important than the concert, so I'll focus my main energy on 740 and won't have much time to prepare new pieces."

He paused, then said, "However, the confirmed piece should include Chopin's Fantasy Impromptus in C-sharp minor, which is a bit of a shame that it wasn't performed this time."

Tang Xiaoxing expressed his understanding, saying that sometimes when deciding on the program for a concert, one does have to make choices: "Time is limited."

Xiao Che smiled and said, "Yes, in the end the teacher let me decide for myself, and I said I would like to play two Glinkas."

Tang Xiaoxing knew that these two Glinka pieces had special significance for the car, and if one of them were removed, Chopin could be used instead.

"Wait until August."

Xiao Che: "Yeah, after the concert in August, it'll be time for summer camp. I don't know how far I'll be able to practice by then. I'll try my best to finish practicing all of Chopin's 740 this year. If there's still time, I'd like to pick a few more Chopin etudes to practice."

Tang Xiaoxing: "I think you can finish practicing Xiao Lian this year."

Xiao Che: "I can't finish practicing, I don't have that much time. Besides etudes, I want to practice four or five more sonatas, Beethoven's Moonlight and Dawn, and Mozart's K533 and K280."

Tang Xiaoxing asked in surprise, "Both of Mozart's pieces are in F major, is there any special significance to that?"

Xiao Che Le: "It was just a coincidence. Oh well, we'll see. This is just my temporary plan. I don't know if I'll have that much time to practice later."

"And also, I want to grow my hair a little longer, hopefully it will be shoulder-length by the Chinese New Year."

Tang Xiaoxing: "Great! Listening to you makes my life feel more fulfilling."

Xiao Che: "It's very simple. Xiao Xing can also make a plan for herself."

When it comes to her personal plans, Tang Xiaoxing feels at a loss.

"It feels so difficult."

moment.

"Is it difficult? Why not start by making a week-long plan? Plan what you want to do each day for the next seven days in advance, and then do it when the time comes. Although the plan may be interrupted by unexpected situations, it's not a big deal. Just keep going."

The night was long, and the two girls chatted back and forth until after 2 a.m., until Tang Xiaoxing no longer heard Xiao Che's response.

Not daring to sigh aloud, Tang Xiaoxing buried her chin in the blanket.

Actually, she had been feeling lost ever since Linlin asked her if she was ready.

Was it that she lacked the courage to tell her family that she didn't want to go abroad anymore, or was it because she simply hadn't figured out what she should do if she stayed in China, leading her to choose to avoid the issue in a state of confusion, and thus subconsciously blaming her grandfather and family for everything?

They made themselves look like victims.

Today she suddenly realized that even if her grandfather agreed that she wouldn't have to study abroad anymore, then what?
Then she can start the life she wants?

What kind of life does she want?

It's not that she didn't have aspirations for life.

She's been very happy these past few days. She doesn't have to force herself to practice the piano in a way she doesn't like like before, and she has her parents, grandparents, teachers, and good friends with her.

Although these few days are her holiday, it's not that she doesn't want to go to school.
Deep down, she longed to have a normal school life like other children her age.

Going to school happily every day, listening attentively in class, playing with close friends after class, doing homework after school, practicing the piano after finishing homework, practicing the piano according to my own plan, and taking professional lessons on weekends—how wonderful!

How wonderful!
As Tang Xiaoxing pondered, her vision gradually cleared.

Yes.

Isn't this the life she wanted?
If that's the kind of life she'd like, she can confidently say she's ready.

Then she remembered that she still had to prepare for the Xiao Sai competition, and her heart tightened for no reason.

But she immediately felt relieved; it wasn't that she wasn't going to stop practicing the piano or skipping classes.

She can just follow the teacher's pace in class and practice on her own after class, right?
This is no different from when she was abroad, except now she has teachers she likes and trusts giving her lessons.

And if she didn't go abroad, she could easily go to Chengdu every week to have lessons with her teacher.

Can't she skip classes?
Thinking of this, a strong desire suddenly arose in Tang Xiaoxing's heart.

She seems to have found the lifestyle she wanted.

Driven by this strong desire, she no longer found it difficult to bring up the topic of not going abroad with her family.

Yup!

Even though her grandfather disagreed, she took the initiative to do so.

Just like the cooking experience that Linlin shared with her, if Uncle Che hadn't chased after that old man and asked him, Uncle Che would never have known why that old man left food uneaten.

Even if her grandfather disagreed, she had to find out why he didn't agree!

She needs her grandfather to give her an answer!
At that moment, Tang Xiaoxing seemed to awaken, realizing that she was no longer the little girl who let her family arrange things for her.

She made up her mind; this time, she would definitely take the initiative to fight for herself.

call--

Letting out a sigh of relief, Tang Xiaoxing turned her head and saw that Xiaoche had one leg sticking out of the blanket again. She gently bent down and covered Xiaoche's leg with the blanket.

Cute Linlin~
Who would have thought that Linlin would be a restless sleeper who likes to kick off her blankets?

This wasn't the first time Tang Xiaoxing had covered Xiao Che with a blanket. The first night, she got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and saw that Linlin's blanket had been kicked to the floor.

Goodnight, Lin!
After lying down and closing her eyes, Tang Xiaoxing fell into a deep sleep in just a few breaths.

Silent all night.

The next morning, the two little girls left home at seven o'clock, taking with them the little cart that Grandpa Tang had brought at six o'clock.

Douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) will indeed punish every stubborn person. The little car is no exception.

Why is this happening?

Facing Tang Xiaoxing's phone camera, Xiao Che felt extremely regretful!
Why didn't she listen to the teacher this time?

What on earth does this taste like?!

"Hahaha," Tang Xiaoxing was almost dying of laughter at Xiao Che's expression, "Linlin's about to throw up, isn't she?"

Xiao Che's face changed, but as a good girl who was determined not to waste food, she held her breath and swallowed the soy milk in her mouth with a "gulp".

This stunned Tang Xiaoxing.

However, what followed was a scene that Tang Xiaoxing would never forget in her life: she was holding her phone and watching blankly as the little car picked up a small porcelain bowl, tilted its head back, and gulped down the whole bowl of soy milk.

"Oh my god, what's going on here!"

"This girl is amazing!"

Not only Tang Xiaoxing, but the elderly people at the next table were also dumbfounded!
I've never seen anything like this before!

"Linlin...are you alright?"

Xiao Che put down the bowl, took the tissue Tang Xiaoxing handed him, and casually wiped his mouth, saying, "It's nothing."

Then his expression suddenly turned fierce, and he even looked like he was about to cry.

"I was impulsive."

"Next time, we must make sure Wang Xiaohu gets a bowl too."

Tang Xiaoxing: "Hahahaha!"
-
After leaving the breakfast shop, Xiao Che asked Tang Xiaoxing if his face looked any different.

Tang Xiaoxing said no, and the little car was finally relieved.

She felt that her face might have been deformed by the acid.

Off to buy groceries!

After taking the bus for two stops, the two little girls arrived at the vegetable market.

Compared to the vegetable markets in Chengdu, Xiao Che didn't find the vegetable markets in Yanjing to be any different.

To her surprise, Tang Xiaoxing seemed to have a lot of experience in grocery shopping.

But that makes sense, considering he has lived abroad alone before.

"Linlin, what do you think of a piece of pork belly?"

"Great, this is it!"

In no time at all, the little cart was full.

They bought everything they needed, returning home with a full load.

On the bus home, the two little girls started counting their money.

The two have already agreed to split the bill.

Finally, the driver transferred 52.3 yuan to Tang Xiaoxing.

"Get it quickly."

"Good good."

Tang Zhongfu was wandering around in the kitchen when he heard a noise coming from the living room.

He had to keep his promise and help the two children today.

His main purpose was to keep an eye on the two of them. He was handling knives and pots because he was worried that the two children might get hurt again.

"grandfather."

"Grandpa Tang!"

"Wow, how much stuff did they buy? Are we even going to finish it all?"

"can!"

"Okay, I'm ready. I'm at your service. Just tell me what you need me to do."

For the next three hours, the kitchen became the stage for the three of them.

The sounds of pots and pans clattering and chopping vegetables were constant.

The stove is ablaze with the aroma of cooking, stir-frying, and deep-frying.

At the beginning, Xiao Che noticed that Grandpa Tang and Xiao Xing seemed unable to get a word in edgewise, so she kept talking.

She talks about everything, saying whatever comes to mind, like an overture, which creates a pretty good atmosphere in the kitchen.

Later, he noticed that the grandfather and granddaughter's conversations were becoming more frequent, so she consciously shut her mouth.

"Grandpa, give me the knife, I can cut it!"

"Here, here, let me cut it and see."

Grandpa Tang really didn't expect his granddaughter to be so capable; she cut meat quite skillfully.

"It wasn't a wasted trip; my cooking skills have improved a lot."

"No, it has nothing to do with going abroad. It's just that you wouldn't let me into the kitchen before."

"Yes, yes, I won't bother with you anymore. You can come into the kitchen anytime you want."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoxing suddenly turned her head, "Really?"

Grandpa Tang replied with a smile, "Really."

Tang Xiaoxing looked at her grandfather's kind eyes, pursed her lips, and then asked in a joking tone, "What if I don't want to go back to Germany?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Che almost vomited up the soy milk he was consuming, thinking to himself, "Wow, Xiao Xing is something else!"

Right now, all she wants to do is drag the teacher out of the living room and watch the drama unfold!
