Lin Ping sat on the tricycle, took out the books he brought with him and read while waiting for Liu Qingmei and them to come back, and when it was almost half past ten in the morning, Liu Qingmei and they got off the bus, and then ran happily to Lin Ping.

Lin Ping greeted Liu Qingmei with a smile, at this time Lin Ping found that there were only four children, Liu Xiangqian was gone, Lin Ping looked at the bus, and then asked, "Where is Liu Xiangqian?"

"Oh. Liu Qingmei replied, "Liu Xiangqian said that he won't come back this big week and stay in school to study?"

Lin Ping was shocked, he couldn't believe it!

Liu Xiangqian can even have today?

Liu Weiguo saw the surprise on Lin Ping's face, and said with a smile: "Teacher Lin, isn't it incredible? A few of us were also surprised when we heard Liu Xiangqian say this. ”

Feng smiled and mended the knife and said, "It's really the sun that comes out in the west." ”

Lin Ping thought about it and always felt that something was wrong, if Liu Qingmei would stay in school to study during the holidays, Lin Ping believed it, but you said that Liu Xiangqian, a child who could work hard until the holidays, did not go home, but took the initiative to stay in school to study, Lin Ping really didn't believe it. Last time during the Qingming Festival, Lin Ping felt that Liu Xiangqian was a little absent-minded.

Lin Ping thought for a while and asked, "Qingmei, didn't you say that you would take the exam when you went back to school last time during the Qingming Festival?" ”

Liu Qingmei said a little sadly: "I'm still the same, twenty-seven, I've worked hard, but I just can't go up." ”

Lin Ping patted Liu Qingmei's shoulder with a smile and said, "It's okay, this grade is good, you are partial to literature, just wait for the liberal arts and sciences." ”

Liu Qingmei nodded and said: "Well, yes, the top three in our class are so powerful, the top three have always been the three of them, alternating back and forth, and the liberal arts and sciences are very powerful." ”

Lin Ping smiled: "Qingmei will also be very powerful, those who have a will, things can be done, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes belong to Chu after all!"

Liu Weiguo and the others immediately said the next sentence together: "Hard-working people, the sky does not bear, lying on the salary and tasting the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu." ”

Li Shulin also said: "Our teacher asked each of us to write a famous quote and post it on the table to motivate ourselves, and this is what I posted!"

Lin Ping asked again: "By the way, how did Liu Xiangqian do in the exam?"

Liu Qingmei had a happy expression on her face: "He didn't take the exam for me! He took the 38th place this time!"

Lin Ping thought for a moment and thought: In that case, it seems understandable that Liu Xiangqian would stay in school to study.

A group of people went back to school, and then went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, Liu Qingmei first ran to her mother Feng Chunxiu, and then looked for Zhao Yuejun but didn't find it, so she asked: "Mom, where is Yuejun's sister? Why isn't she at school?"

Feng Chunxiu said: "I followed Teacher Yu to the city to participate in the competition, what kind of singing performance?"

Liu Qingmei suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered. They said it last time they came back for the Qingming Festival. ”

On the other hand, Yu Mengfei and Zhang Yipeng took Li Xintong and Zhao Yuejun to participate in the art exhibition of primary and secondary school students in Linxi City, which was actually a competition. The venue of this event was Lin Xi No. 3 Middle School, and many students and teachers from the school came, as well as many celebrities in the art world of Lin Xi City, and even invited an associate professor of the Department of Music of Hanhua University and a professor from Hanhua Art Institute to come to the scene as a judge.

The competition is divided into art performances and artworks, the former is singing, instrumental music, dance, drama performances, etc., and the latter is painting, calligraphy, poetry and other works of art. In addition to receiving recognition, the winners will also be recommended to participate in relevant competitions in the province and perform at the May Day Gala to be held in Linxi City in May.

In the afternoon of the same day, the art studio of Lin Xisan Middle School was full of people, all kinds of girls in beautiful clothes were waiting for the performance backstage, only Yu Mengfei took Li Xintong and Zhao Yuejun The two children sat quietly in very simple clothes.

Next, I would like to invite Li Xintong, a student from Zhongguo Hope School in Xibei County, Linxi City, to bring a piano performance of "Blue Danube" to the judges, teachers and students. ”

The host finished the curtain and retired, and then Li Xintong sat in front of the piano on the stage and played.

The piano music was played, and the students who didn't understand it were talking about it, anyway, in their eyes, the piano was a very high thing, and the teachers who could understand it frowned, and their brows became deeper and deeper.

"Stop!" one of the judges interrupted, "Stop, stop, stop!" It's rude, but I still have to say, you play fast, you know?

Another judge smiled and said, "This kid may be nervous." ”

The teachers and students below laughed and laughed one after another, and the students who didn't understand it felt good before, but when the teacher commented on it, they all felt that it didn't sound good.

The judge continued: "This piano adaptation of "Blue Danube" is not difficult, and it is relatively ordinary, dare to choose this piece to participate in this competition, I thought you would be very good, not to mention that you can play it superbly, at least you have to play it with a good note, you played it so badly, really badly, you didn't even do the most basic ......"

At this time, Li Xintong raised his hands tremblingly and said, "Teacher, I played it with six fingers, so I played it fast." ”

The teachers and students in the audience were in an uproar when they saw Li Xintong's six fingers, and several judges and teachers also stared at Li Xintong's fingers.

At this time, the judge paused and continued: "I don't care how many fingers you play, even if you play with one finger, if you don't play well, you just don't play well! Since it is not good to play with six fingers, why play with six fingers? Five fingers can be played." ”

Li Xintong put down his hands, lowered his head a little depressed, he thought that being able to play the piano with six fingers would be a dazzling skill, but he didn't expect to be hit instead.

At this time, Yu Mengfei hurriedly ran up and said apologetically to the judges, teachers and the audience: "I'm sorry, I'm his piano teacher, his musical talent is very high, I taught him to play the piano with five fingers, but he can adapt it to play the piano with six fingers by himself......"

The judge said, "Is there anything to be proud of? You have to play well, that's what you can be proud of." If you play like this, it's better to play with five fingers, and don't think about gaining everyone's approval through curiosity. It's true that playing the piano with six fingers is a novelty, because everyone has five fingers, but what is the use of six fingers if you play like this? ”

The judges' words were like knives stabbed in Li Xintong's body, Li Xintong lowered his head and was about to cry, Yu Mengfei hugged him and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, let's practice hard." ”

"Alright, go down, let the next show come on stage, don't waste time. The judge continued.

At this time, another judge teacher looked at Yu Mengfei and Li Xintong and encouraged: "It's okay, young man, this teacher criticizes you because you are not skilled enough, not to deny your path, you have to play more proficiently, stick to your path, you can adapt the five-finger piano method into your unique, and it is already very good to play like this, come on." ”

Yu Mengfei hurriedly said to the judges: "Thank you!"

Li Xintong also choked up quietly and said, "Thank you." ”

Then the two walked off the stage.
