Chapter 5 Weekends and Holidays
In this way, he gave out all the gifts prepared for the teacher one day, Chu Xiaohe felt a little sense of accomplishment in his heart, and felt that this class leader was quite energetic, maybe this was everyone's sense of identity, which gave him great encouragement.
The last class on Friday was the physical education class, in which the physical education teacher first asked the class representative Yuan Gang to lead everyone to run a few laps around the playground and move their bodies, and then the formal class began.
"Students, today is our first physical education class, you have also seen, there are more than a dozen basketballs on the playground, we will start to learn how to play basketball today", Mr. Liu said to everyone with a smile, and there was a commotion among the students, which can be seen that everyone is more interested in basketball.
Next, he briefly explained the history of basketball, and demonstrated the basic techniques of basketball, and then carried out personnel grouping, ready to start group training.
Before the training, he said: "Students, who among you is playing basketball well, stand in the front." At this time, everyone, you look at me, I look at you.
Someone among the students shouted, "The class leader played well".
Chu Xiaohe consciously stood in front and said: "Basketball thinks you are playing well, hurry up."
At this time, several boys walked out of the queue, namely Yuan Gang, Li Wei, Lu Jie, and Zhang Haiyang.
Subsequently, Mr. Liu said: "In a few days, the school organizes a basketball competition, and each grade will form two basketball teams.
Then he asked, "Would you all like to participate?"
Several replied "yes".
"Okay, now a few of you stay in this field, and the other students go to other basketball courts according to the group and take the basketball to practice."
The queue began to disperse, and each group took their basketballs and found their own courts, and began to practice.
Mr. Liu and the five of them began to play basketball three-on-three, mainly to explore their skills.
I saw Chu Xiaohe running quickly, dodging Teacher Liu's defense, and jumping up directly to pass the ball to Li Wei, Li Wei saw that there was no one to defend, jumped up, and hit the board with two points. I only heard other venues shouting "good ball, good ball".
Next, Chu Xiaohe's eyes swept to the left front, holding the ball to the right, perfectly flashing a person, Yuan Gang quickly blocked, said that it was too late, then quickly, quickly retracted his left foot, retracted his body, and suddenly shook another person, calmly pulling out the jump shot. Immediately the screams of men and women rang out in the venue.
In this way, after Mr. Liu's temptation, Chu Xiaohe, Yuan Gang, and Li Wei were finally left to form two basketball teams with other classes.
After class, Chu Xiaohe, Yuan Gang, Li Wei and several others walked back to the dormitory together, Li Wei said: "Class leader, I have heard that you are good at ball skills before, it is really better to see than to hear."
Chu Xiaohe smiled and said, "You played well, the three-point shooting rate is really high."
At this time, Zhao Ziqian's voice came from behind him, "Squad leader, wait a minute", looking at Zhao Ziqian, Xia Yuxuan, and a few people in their dormitory, holding hands and trotting over.
Zhao Ziqian asked, "I heard that there were three people left to participate in the basketball game?"
"yes, yes, I'm one of them," Gangzi said triumphantly.
was immediately sarcastically ridiculed by Zhao Ziqian: "Your ball skills can also be scored?"
The students present laughed.
Xu Zhiwen said: "Tomorrow is the weekend, do you have any plans?"
"Why don't we go hiking," Tsuyoko said.
"Vulgar, what do you say is so nice about climbing the mountain now", Zhao Ziqian retorted.
"Zhao Ziqian, I didn't tell you, and I won't take you with me", Gangzi said angrily.
"Okay, okay, are you enemies?" asked Chen Xin.
"Otherwise, I'll take you to learn from my uncle's music studio and musical instrument shop to gain some experience on our music journey," Xu Zhiwen proposed.
"Okay, this can be," Li Xingguo agreed.
After some discussion, it was decided to gather at the entrance of the department store at eight o'clock on Sunday, and there were only six people left who could go, and the others did not have time.
At noon on Saturday, the crowd after school poured out like a tide, Chu Jing was waiting for Chu Xiaohe at the door, and suddenly saw Xia Yuxuan walking towards him, and hurriedly shouted and waved to Xia Yuxuan, Xia Yuxuan saw Chu Jing and smiled and said, "I'm waiting for your brother."
"Yes, my brother and I will take the bus home in a while," Chu Jing replied.
Then he asked, "Sister Yuxuan, how will you go home in a while?"
"A friend came to pick me up and called me later," Xia Yuxuan replied.
I only heard a shout from the opposite side of the door, "Yuxuan, Yuxuan, I'm here."
The two of them looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who got out of the back seat of a big car, about 175 tall, slightly fat, but his face was still white and clean, and he walked over with a smile.
This boy's name is Cai Jiasheng is also in the third year of high school in Lushan Experimental High School, his parents are good friends with Xia Yuxuan's parents, Cai Jiasheng and Xia Yuxuan grew up together, Cai Jiasheng likes Xia Yuxuan very much, and has confessed to Xia Yuxuan many times, but Xia Yuxuan knows in his heart that he only has the affection for Cai Jiasheng's brother, and he rejects him every time, but Cai Jiasheng still has no heart to give up, and tries every way to please her.
Cai Jiasheng came to them, Xia Yuxuan introduced to Chu Jing: "This is my friend Cai Jiasheng, this is my senior sister Chu Jing", and then they greeted each other.
"Yuxuan, I told my aunt, come and pick you up, and send you home by the way," Cai Jiasheng said.
"My mother told me, you wait a minute", he said and turned to Chu Jing. "Chu Jing, your brother was still in the classroom just now, you can wait a while, I'll go first."
"Okay Sister Yuxuan, have a good trip", Chu Jing responded.
Then Cai Jiasheng and Xia Yuxuan got into the car one after the other, Xia Yuxuan waved his hand to Chu Jing, and the car gradually drove away and disappeared from Chu Jing's field of vision.
Chu Jing wondered in her heart, who is this, the family should be very rich, and he still cares so much about Xia Yuxuan, it seems that his brother is a rival in love.
"What do you want", Chu Xiaohe shouted at Chu Jing.
Chu Jing looked up and saw her brother and a few roommates walking towards her.
I couldn't wait to say to my brothers, "Guess what I just saw"?
"What's the matter, what have you seen, it's mysterious," Chu Xiaohe asked.
"I saw that Sister Yuxuan was picked up by a son-in-law, and Sister Yuxuan said it was a friend," Chu Jing said.
"What? I haven't heard that Xia Yuxuan is talking about a boyfriend, someone wants to cut off his beard?", Gangzi said.
Chu Xiaohe interrupted them and said, "What are you thinking about, go back to your own house to find your own mother." But Chu Xiaohe was curious in his heart, who picked up Xia Yuxuan?
Cai Jiasheng sent Xia Yuxuan downstairs, Cai Jiasheng thought that Xia Yuxuan could let him go upstairs to have a meal together, but Xia Yuxuan said angrily: "Okay, I'm here, you hurry home and eat."
Cai Jiasheng couldn't say anything, so he could only get in the car and go home.
Upstairs, Yuxuan's mother saw her daughter and asked, "What about Jiasheng?"
"Oh, I'm back," Xia Yuxuan replied.
"You kid, people will take you back, why don't you let people come in for a meal", Yuxuan's mother educated.
"Oh, Mom, it's not that you don't know, Cai Jiasheng chases me relentlessly, although he treats me well, but I only have brother and sister affection for him, he has nothing to do all day long, I hate him a little", Xia Yuxuan replied impatiently.
"Yes, I don't care about your business, anyway, you are still young, let's talk about this after college", Yuxuan's mother said.
"Mom, why isn't Dad at home?" Xia Yuxuan asked.
"Your dad won't come to dinner if he has something," Yuxuan's mother replied.
"Come and serve the food, the meal is ready," Yuxuan's mother continued.
"Okay," he said, jumping into the kitchen.
At this time, Chu Xiaohe's brothers and sisters also got off the bus and walked another 500 meters to get home.
"Brother, why didn't you say that Dad didn't pick us up, every time we went to and from school, we took the bus", Chu Jing asked dissatisfiedly.
"Dad, you still don't understand, self-reliance, do it yourself, and learn from our dad's words, this is training us", Chu Xiaohe said seriously.
"Exercise, I don't see anything out of it," Chu Jing said.
Talking and talking to the door of the house, a three-story villa, push the door in, there is a small pond in the middle of the pond there is a rockery, the pool is raised with koi, small turtles, the left side of the small courtyard is also planted with some cabbage, the yard is clean and very chic. Walking into the house, Chu Jing called "Mom".
A middle-aged woman walked down from the upper floor, with a slender figure, black hair and white skin, dignified and beautiful, wearing a tweed coat, and at first glance she was constantly exercising and maintaining.
"Mom, you're going out", Chu Xiaohe asked.
"Yes, you guys hurry up and put down your things, don't change your clothes, I forgot to tell you on the phone, BJ's Uncle Zhang and your Sister Xiaolan are here, eat together at noon, at the Lushan Hotel, your father and they are all waiting there", Xiao He's mother said eagerly.
"Ah, my little Sister Lan, let's go, hurry up", Chu Jing said happily.
Chu Xiaohe and his brother and sister put down their things, got into their mother's car, and drove towards Lushan Hotel.
Chu Xiaohe's mother parked the car, several people got out of the car, walked into the Lushan Hotel, and came to the private room under the guidance of the waiter, and as soon as she pushed the door, Chu Jing shouted: "Uncle Zhang, Sister Xiaolan, I want to kill you."
Chu Xiaohe also shouted: "Uncle Zhang is good, Sister Xiaolan is good."
Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Oh, my godson, goddaughter, come and hug me", and hugged him as he spoke.
Xiaolan, who was dressed in casual clothes, also called "godmother".
Chu Xiaohe's mother also stretched out her hand to hug Xiaolan, and said in her mouth: "Xiaolan, godmother misses you too."
The Uncle Zhang in Chu Xiaohe's mouth is called Zhang Guoqing, he is the senior brother of the graduate school that Chu Xiaohe's father met when he was in college, he was very close to each other at that time, and he was a fellow countryman, so he established a very deep affection, and after giving birth to children, he also recognized each other's godsons and daughters, Zhang Guoqing is now working in the Land and Resources Bureau, is a director, and often takes his daughter home to see when he is on vacation. I came back this time because I was dealing with household chores. Daughter Xiaolan just graduated from university, studied foreign trade, and before she joined the work, she followed her father back to her hometown to play.
Talking and talking, this person sat down, they chatted while eating, the two fathers had not seen each other for more than a year, and they chatted very happily, and the mother was also very concerned about Xiaolan, asking questions.
"Mom, you're too shy to ask Sister Xiaolan", Chu Jing said with a smile.
"Mom, it's not like I haven't seen my goddaughter for a long time, I have a lot to say to my goddaughter", Chu Jing's mother said.
"I think you are better to your goddaughter than your own daughter," Chu Jing said.
When the others heard this, they burst out laughing.
Zhang Guoqing suddenly said to Chu Xiaohe: "Son, I will take the college entrance examination next year, study hard, and strive to be admitted to BJ next year, and take a key exam."
Chu Xiaohe's father said proudly: "Brother Zhang, in terms of study, I am still very confident in Xiao He, and the whole grade belongs to the forefront."
"It seems that the tiger father has no dogs", Zhang Guoqing said with a smile.
At the dinner table, the two fathers talked about life and work, and the three women talked about dressing and eating, it seemed that Chu Xiaohe was an outsider, and he didn't care about other people, he just had one word - eat.
After eating, Chu's mother asked Zhang Guoqing what time the plane was, and said that it was six o'clock, and now it was only three o'clock, so she had to take Sister Xiaolan to buy clothes.
Chu Xiaohe asked, "Uncle Zhang, why don't you stay for a few more days?"
"Son, we want to too, but I still have something to do tomorrow, and your sister still has to prepare for the interview," Zhang Guoqing replied.
Several people walked out of the hotel together and drove directly to the Bert Building, Chu Xiaohe's mother wanted to buy something for them to bring, this big family walked around the clothing store, Chu Xiaohe's mother bought a dress for Zhang Guoqing's family and her own children, and then she was reluctant to leave.
"Godmother, today really broke your bank", Xiaolan said with a smile.
"What is this, I'm happy to buy something for you", Chu Xiaohe's mother replied.
walked out of the building like this, and after saying goodbye to each other, Chu Xiaohe's father sent them to the airport, and Chu's mother took her children back to her home.
Early the next morning, Chu Xiaohe dressed himself up. The weather today is not bad, the sun is shining. At eight o'clock in the morning, in front of the department store, several young people were already waiting here, and Chu Xiao He came to the department store in a cowboy and greeted them one by one.
"You guys came early enough," Chu Xiaohe said.
"Squad leader, you're really handsome in this denim today," Zhao Ziqian smiled nympholy.
"You said I'm not handsome anymore", Chu Xiaohe said proudly, and he didn't forget to fiddle with his hairstyle with his right hand.
"Handsome, you are the most handsome", Xia Yuxuan walked in front of him at some point.
Xu Zhiwen said: "Okay, now that the person has expired, let's go directly to my uncle's shop and visit."
Li Xingguo waved his hand and said, "Comrades, walk."
Uncle Xu Zhiwen's store was near the department store, and after a while, he arrived at the door of the store, Xu Zhiwen swaggered in and shouted uncle to the middle-aged man who was wiping his musical instruments,
"You're here, welcome," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Several people also called uncle.
Xu Zhiwen said: "You can watch it yourself."
Xia Yuxuan walked to the piano, sat down, put his hands on the keys, and with the flying of his fingers, a song "Courage" was slowly played······
Xu Zhiwen hummed along with the melody.
We all need courage
Will believe together
The crowds are crowded, I can feel you
······
"Xia Yuxuan, I adore you so much, you are worthy of being the flower of our school, and you are worthy of being my goddess", Gangzi hurriedly said.
"Gangzi, you are poor", Xia Yuxuan said shyly.
"Yuxuan, your song is too goddess-like", Zhao Ziqian showed a look of envy.
Chu Xiaohe didn't say anything, and seemed to be still immersed in the melody he had just been in.
Xu Zhiwen said: "Yuxuan, you are professional enough to play the piano, how long have you been playing?"
"I've been practicing since I was a child," Xia Yuxuan replied.
"No wonder it's so professional," Mr. Li said.
Okay, everybody come with me, and I'll teach you how to get to know these instruments.
"I don't want to say much about the piano, I don't talk about the guitar, everyone sees it often", the mosquito said to everyone.
"Look, this is a drum kit, and you must have a good sense of rhythm to learn a drum kit," he said.
"You see, the drum kit is basically a whole body movement, it's good for the body, and the drummer in the band controls the speed and rhythm of the music, which is an essential instrument for forming a band, and it is also my favorite," he said and laughed.
Chu Xiaohe interjected and said, "It seems that a few of us can form a band after learning the musical instrument well."
Xu Zhiwen said with a smile: "That's nature, that's what I plan."
Next, Xu Zhiwen briefly introduced to them the basic playing methods and repertoire of flute, gourd silk, xun, zheng, dulcimer, erhu, saxophone and other musical instruments.
"I said Xu Zhiwen, it seems that you are really good at studying musical instruments", Gangzi said admiringly.
"A little bit, it's just that I've been exposed to these things since I was a child, and I know a little more," Xu Zhiwen said modestly.
"Let's take another tour of my uncle's recording studio and follow me upstairs," he said as he walked.
The first floor of this musical instrument shop sells musical instruments, and the second floor is a one-touch recording studio. Several people were stunned when they went up, feeling very tall, and it was the first time they had come into contact with such a professional recording studio.
Xu Zhiwen began to lecture, "Look, the sound insulation in the recording studio is very good, the recording effect is also very good, and of course the price is also very expensive. The main equipment is composed of computers, professional sound cards, mixers, microphones, microphone amplifiers, headphones, etc."
"This recording studio, my uncle also built it for his hobby, I often come here to play when I have nothing to do, and he often takes some jobs to make a little money," Xu Zhiwen said with a smile.
Zhao Ziqian asked tentatively, "Can we record a segment?"
"Of course, no problem", Xu Zhiwen agreed happily.
Xu Zhiwen turned on the computer, adjusted the equipment, and said: "I'll find a song that everyone can sing, and you can sing a few words and try it alone."
"Everyone knows 'The Moon Represents My Heart'," Xu Zhiwen asked.
Everyone nodded.
Then he added: "Sing two verses per person".
Several people entered the recording studio and put on headphones, Xu Zhiwen made the starting gesture, and the familiar melody poured into his body from the headphones, bringing Chu Xiaohe into the music at once.
You ask me how much I love you
I love you a little
My love is true, and my love is true
The moon represents my heart
······
After a while, several people finished singing the song.
Several people listened to their own voices, and they all seemed to be intoxicated by their own voices, except for Yuan Gang.
Zhao Ziqian joked: "Gangzi, your recorded voice is a typical incomplete pentatonic sound."
Everyone laughed.
Xu Zhiwen listened to Chu Xiaohe's voice and commented: "Boss, your voice is very suitable for singing high notes, can you sing high notes?"
"I don't know if I can sing it, and I haven't sung it either," Chu Xiaohe replied.
"In that case, don't you sing Zhang Yusheng's "The Sea" every day?
"Then I'll try", Chu Xiaohe also wanted to know his strength.
Entering the recording studio again, Chu Xiaohe adjusted his voice and gave an OK gesture, and Xu Zhiwen began to play the accompaniment.
From that far seaside
Slowly disappear you
An otherwise blurry face
It became clear
Wanted to say something
I don't know where to start
·······
Xia Yuxuan was immersed in Chu Xiaohe's singing, deeply attracted by his voice, and his heart was full of pity, which may have been affected by the mood of the song.
"Perfect", when Chu Xiaohe finished singing, Gangzi couldn't help but utter two words.
"I'm obedient, the treble is high C", Li Xingguo exclaimed.
Out of the inner room of the recording studio, Chu Xiaohe asked how it was.
Xu Zhiwen said: "Come, listen to it yourself."
Listening to his own voice, Chu Xiaohe himself admired himself a little, and the more he listened, the more he wanted to listen.
"Chu Xiaohe, I think if you don't make music, it's a waste of materials," Xu Zhiwen said with a smile.
"I'm that material, but I really like to listen to music," Chu Xiaohe said lightly.
Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed.
Zhao Ziqian asked, "What are we going to do in a while?"
Li Xingguo proposed: "Why don't we walk around the street and have a meal together?"
His proposal was unanimously agreed.
Then he said goodbye to Uncle Xu Zhiwen and walked out of the store, two girls walked in front, four boys followed closely behind, and the girls turned around from time to time to chat with them, talking and laughing.
When crossing the intersection, as soon as the red light passed, Xia Yuxuan was in the front, everyone was about to walk forward, a speeding motorcycle turned right, Chu Xiaohe quickly dragged Xia Yuxuan back, she didn't stop, and fell into Chu Xiaohe's arms all of a sudden. The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, deeply attracted by each other's pupils, as if the world was still, Xia Yuxuan was hot in both cheeks, and his heart was pounding nervously like a deer. Chu Xiaohe was also at a loss, and hurriedly helped Xia Yuxuan up, and stammered and asked, "You, are you okay?"
"It's okay", Xia Yuxuan shyly squeezed out two words, only Chu Xiaohe heard it.
"Ah, heroes save beauty", Gangzi teased.
"It's really a beauty with a hero", and the fruit also echoed.
Zhao Ziqian took Xia Yuxuan's hand with concern and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xia Yuxuan replied with a flushed face: "It's okay, let's go."
On the way to the pedestrian street, Xia Yuxuan's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, always flashing the scene of her and Chu Xiaohe staring at each other, and when she thought of this, warm ripples would appear in her heart, and she wondered in her heart if she really liked this guy.
After walking around the pedestrian street for a while, they had a big meal together. After that, they went back to their own homes, because several of them had not finished their teacher's homework.
