Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 929 189. A Little Excellence! Japanese Rewards

When the young Beethoven met a piano-mad girl, a celebration of youth across time and space was bound to leave a mark somewhere.

Maybe it's at a stadium, maybe at a concert hall, or maybe in front of a piano. No matter where it is, as long as the opportunity comes, there will be lucky people who can witness it.

Although there are still some technical aspects that need to be improved in the music, everyone at the scene was still impressed by the vibrant music before them.

What is even more enviable is the relaxation this child feels when sitting in front of the piano.

From looking around without hesitation when going on stage, to sitting in front of the piano and playing four movements casually, the whole process was so relaxed for the child.

It's so easy that it makes people envy.

Being able to play the most presto movement in the most leisurely state is probably the dream of every performer.

Today, they seemed to see the poetry and distant places in a child’s heart.

Unfortunately, the music is about to end, like a treasure chest that suddenly appears and then gradually disappears like magic before anyone touches it.

The weather vane belonging to the ending part flies farther away in a set of light and powerful chords, leaving only a series of footprints of brilliant arpeggios in the air.

The musical atmosphere makes people wonder what it would be like if the child was playing a larger piece at this moment?

“Ding ding ding ding ding!”

"when!"

The dense descending arpeggios cascade down like a waterfall, and finally plunge into a peaceful dream.

When the song ended, the whole audience fell silent.

next second.

"Wow——————"

Under the warm yellow stage lights, the girl finally sat up straight. She took a deep breath, then gently withdrew her hands from the keyboard, her expression filled with the pride of a warrior sheathing his sword.

What a great stage, what a great feeling.

After the song was over, Che still made a discovery. Compared with the stage of the Red Building Concert Hall, the sound here has a greater sense of space.

like.

He stood up, played the piano and bowed, the cart facing the teacher in the audience.

Xiao Che stopped and stood up, then bent down towards the teacher in the audience while playing the piano.

The second wave of applause came.

"Wow————"

There was no way that the applause of only thirty people could fill a concert venue that could accommodate fifteen hundred people.

But the car could still feel waves of sound coming from all directions of the stage.

Suddenly, she saw the teacher in the audience seemed to be talking to her from a distance.

"Teacher, what did you say?"

Xiaoche leaned forward, and because of the applause she couldn't hear what the teacher said.

“Behind, behind!”

Li An's smile was not helpless at all. As he spoke, he quickly drew circles in front of his body with his arms.

"Eh?"

Xiao Che didn't react to what it meant at first. She was confused and wanted to run off the stage to ask the teacher what was wrong, but then she saw Wang Xiaohu waving his hands.

When Wang Xiaohu saw Che Lin looking at him, he turned his back.

At this moment, the car seemed to realize something and immediately turned around to look.

"Oh oh oh."

It turned out that the teacher was reminding her not to forget the applause behind her.

Having never performed on this kind of orchestra stage before, she indeed ignored the fact that there were audience seats in 360 degrees.

She bowed twice more behind her, and then looked around as she did before starting to play. Whenever there was someone applauding, she would turn around and bow.

Everyone was once again amused by Xiao Che's behavior. He was like a completely different person compared to when he was performing.

The little girl is so cute.

Especially the first moment when he turned around, his surprised expression seemed to be saying: Huh? So there are people here too.

Still feeling quite relaxed.

"Wow————"

The third wave of applause came, and it was obvious that this applause was for Xiaoche's series of bows just now.

For a moment, the scene looked like a concert had just ended. The small cars in the audience became the soloists on the stage, and the musicians, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters on the stage became the audience in the audience. The atmosphere couldn't be more harmonious.

“It’s wonderful.”

Fang Yongbo came to the piano, clapping his hands, his eyes full of undisguised approval, and asked with a grin, "How long have you practiced this piece?"

Gradually, the scene became quiet and everyone's attention returned to the car. Fang Yongbo was not the only one who was curious about this question.

Xiaoche hasn't really calculated it in detail, maybe three months, no, it's already January, "four months."

Four months, everyone nodded. Considering the overall level shown by the child, it was quite normal for him to play such a piece in four months.

After all, it seems like this kid is going to be a professional in the future.

Four months? Fang Yongbo frowned. This shouldn't be the case. What is Li Ang doing? It's a waste of the child's time to let him spend four months playing a sonata like this.

At this moment, Wang Xiaohu saw the teacher stand up and he also stood up, but the teacher pushed him back to his seat and said, "Wait."

After saying these two words, Ang Lee went on stage.

Fang Yongbo was just about to ask Li An what was going on, but when he saw Li An coming to him on his own initiative, he cast a puzzled look at Li An's face.

"Uncle Fang asked how long you have been practicing." Li An repeated the question.

Xiao Che scratched his head. Isn't it four months? It has been four months since I got the song. Then he asked awkwardly, "Teacher, how long have I practiced?"

Everyone was amused again.

Li An rubbed his temple, "How long did it take you to play this piece?"

Ah——I understand!
"Half a month?" Xiao Che was a little unsure. "It seems less than half a month. Teacher, I can't remember clearly."

Half a month, less than? ?

This time there was an uproar at the scene.

Practicing a four-movement Beethoven sonata in half a month?
Doesn't this child go to school?

Didn’t the child just say he was four months old?
Li An looked helpless, but he was very proud in his heart. He took the car and answered Fang Yongbo's question directly, "She took three lessons on this piece, about ten days, and she was able to play it."

Three classes in ten days! ?

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone's expressions changed again and again.

Fang Yongbo curled his lips: "That's what I said."

Li An spread his hands: "There's nothing I can do. She still has to go to school. When she has a lot of homework, she has no time to practice the piano."

Everyone: “～”

Li An looked at the car again and said, "How long did it take for you to practice Mazurka? It should be the end of the month."

Xiaoche: “It seems so.”

Fang Yongbo was happy: "Both you, the master and the disciple, have bad memories."

"Anyway, it took about a month for Li Lian to learn and practice." Li An smiled. "There are many Chopin pieces to prepare, so I finished the Beethoven piece first. She has basically been practicing Chopin for the past few months."

Everyone: During the school period, one month is really a lot.

Fang Yongbo nodded: "Lin girl, what Chopin works have you practiced in the past few months?"

This little car has already memorized the following by heart: "Mazurka in A minor, Opus 17, No. 4, Puppy Waltz, Opus 64, No. 1, Nocturne in F minor, Opus 55, No. 1."

Everyone: Who says children have bad memories?
Fang Yongbo: "Is this all the repertoire you will be performing in the competition? Is there any concerto?"

Xiaoche shook his head: "There is another three-part invention by Bach, but the teacher said there is no rush to practice it." Fang Yongbo: "Then listen to your teacher. Come on, kid. When you finish this competition, I will give you a gift as well."

Xiaoche waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Uncle Fang. I don't need anything."

Li Anxin laughed at the kid and said, "I need it, bow quickly."

The car immediately bowed and the whole audience burst into laughter.

If the teacher is in need, then she can just get the gift and give it to the teacher.

Hehehe, what a happy day.

"Thank you, Uncle Fang!"

At this time, Sister Midori finally couldn't help but walk onto the stage. She could only understand "teacher" amidst the chatter of the crowd.

But she could understand the laughter at the scene, and she also wanted to join in, and by the way, get to know the cutie she was about to have dinner with in advance.

Just now, the little cutie bowed 90 degrees to her. She didn't react at first. It turned out that there was no one behind her except her accompanying translator.

five minutes later.

A group photo of six people on stage was left in Ang Lee's mobile phone.

From left to right in the group photo are Li An, Xiaoche, Sister Meidaoli, the sister's accompanying translator, Fang Yongbo, and the chief uncle.

The person taking the photo is Brother Xiaohu with a stubborn look on his face.

Today’s dinner, Japanese food!
Wang Xiaohu: "."

Ang Lee: "."

The dining place was far from the Xinghai Concert Hall, so the group packed up their belongings and left the concert hall. Outside the concert hall gate, a business car was ready to go.

The two children took the initiative to express their wish to sit in the last row, which was mainly Wang Xiaohu's idea.

"What is Japanese food?" Xiaoche asked Wang Xiaohu in a low voice as soon as he sat down.

Wang Xiaohu looked embarrassed: "Do you like to eat raw food? All kinds of sashimi, shrimp, wagyu and the like."

Xiaoche: "Not sure, I haven't tried it. Are all Japanese food raw?"

"There are also cooked ones, which feel like Western food. Sushi is no different from rice, and miso soup is not tasty either." In Wang Xiaohu's memory, there is really not much to eat in Japanese food. "My mother likes it, but my grandfather and I don't. By the way, foie gras and eel rice are not bad."

Xiaoche: “Hmm.”

Wang Xiaohu: "You'll know once you get there. Some places require you to change into slippers when entering, and some places require you to wear shoe covers. It's so troublesome. I might as well go and have some porridge."

Xiaoche: "The teacher likes to eat seafood."

Wang Xiaohu shook his head: "Not necessarily. The teacher said that he didn't even eat fish before he met his teacher's wife. The teacher doesn't eat seafood much. His teacher's wife may like it, but the teacher may not."

At this time, the teacher's voice came from the front, "What are you two whispering about?"

The second child quickly muted his voice. After a while, Wang Xiaohu said in a lower voice, "If you don't like sashimi, eat goose liver. Goose liver is delicious."

The car nodded.
-
Just as Wang Xiaohu expected, although the restaurant was located in an alley and looked nothing special from the outside, it was a world of its own once you walked inside.

The receptionist in kimono came up and led everyone to change into slippers.

When changing shoes, Wang Xiaohu suddenly said something very humorous: "Fortunately Ah Liu is not here, I bet he would rather not eat than take off his shoes."

"Forehead."

Although Xiaoche has no psychological burden about taking off shoes in public, after all, she thinks most girls will wash their feet and socks, but she still feels a little novel about wearing slippers in a dining environment.

After changing into slippers, the group followed the kimono girl to a small private room. Fortunately, they didn't have to kneel, so Wang Xiaohu and the car were arranged to sit in the inner position.

Then came the ordering phase.

Li An was a little overwhelmed. She and Chen Xuan had a Japanese buffet once, spending 600 yuan per person, which was a splurge. When they left, there was still half a bowl of sashimi left on the table.

Chen Xuan didn't eat as much as he did. It was purely a bloody lesson.

There's nothing he can do about it, his elder sister treats him and he can't choose.

Let’s have another meal in the evening.

After some discussion among the adults, they handed the tablet computer for ordering food to the two children.

During this period, Li An acted as an interpreter and fully conveyed the eldest sister's enthusiasm.

"You two can order whatever you want."

Wang Xiaohu was indeed not polite and ordered ten servings of foie gras.

Li An saw this and said: "You have to eat it if you order it."

Wang Xiaohu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, teacher! It's just to whet your appetite."

Li An: "You look useless."

Wang Xiaohu: "You're not letting me eat enough~"

The translator translated the conversation between the teacher and the student to the eldest sister, which made her laugh. However, after laughing, she continued to chatter seriously.

The translator said: "Foie gras has a high cholesterol content, so it's not advisable to eat too much at one time. Don't worry, we have plenty of time tonight."

Wang Xiaohu understood clearly that Teacher Meidao was concerned about him.

But he doesn't want to eat it himself.

Raising his hand and pointing at Che Lin, Brother Xiaohu pointed at himself, and then expressed in broken English that he wanted to eat the ten servings of foie gras with Che Lin.

Of course Xiao Che understood what he said, and she hurriedly told Wang Xiaohu that she couldn't eat that much. Wang Xiaohu said that one portion was not enough for him to eat.

"A very small one."

Xiaoche was relieved, but, "I may not be able to finish five servings."

Wang Xiaohu patted his chest again: "I'm here, don't worry."

The translator then translated the conversation between the two children to the eldest sister, who gave Wang Xiaohu a thumbs up, and of course there was still some chatter.

Ang Lee was having a hard time watching it. There was Chinese, German, Japanese, English, and even sign language. It would be great if the whole world could speak the same language.

Well, that’s why music is the best, it’s the universal language of the world.

Without music, there would be no dinner today.

After placing the order for ten servings of foie gras, Wang Xiaohu asked the four adults if they wanted steak. Seeing that the adults waved their hands, he only ordered two steaks.

Fang Yongbo: "Xiao Linzi, take a look too."

Only the small cart had not yet ordered any food.

"Yeah, Uncle Fang."

When Wang Xiaohu was ordering food, Xiaoche kept looking at it. After looking around for a few times, her eyes were almost dizzy. Everything looked delicious.

Why did Wang Xiaohu say that they all tasted terrible?
Seeing that everyone was waiting for her and Xiaoche didn't know what to order, in order not to keep everyone waiting, she speeded up her browsing and suddenly saw the word "eel".

She didn’t know how to order food, and she couldn’t care less about the teachers and adults.

Grilled eel, that's you!

“Two grilled eels.”

The first round of ordering was over, and while waiting for the food, Xiaoche was looking forward to the two grilled eels she ordered.

She thought that one portion for herself, one portion for Wang Xiaohu, plus the foie gras that Wang Xiaohu ordered, would definitely be enough for her.

But when she saw the waiter bring the sashimi platter, she was stunned.

Uncle Fang ordered so many things just now, more than ten portions each, but how come only this little was served?

Less than five minutes after the meal started, Xiaoche had only eaten three crayfish. They were delicious, but there was so little that she was embarrassed to eat any more.

So she secretly sent a message to Wang Xiaohu on her mobile phone, asking if there would be more shrimps later.

moment.

Wang Xiaohu replied: It’s finished, only one for one serving.

Car:!
She already had three helpings of shrimp?!
What a trap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
