Chapter 6: The Sudden Arrival of Ernie Sauce

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, the rich have the troubles of the rich, and the poor have the happiness of the poor, probably at that time, I feel a little sorry for this girl. - "A Confession of a Waste, Teach You How to Be a Scumbag - Yoshida Hibiscus Chapter" by Tian Licheng

After choosing the song, the eldest lady unceremoniously assigned the division of labor to everyone: Yamamoto was in charge of logistics, and he was responsible for the layout of the venue and the handling of equipment during the performance; Shi Geqi has a wide range of contacts (he has had many girlfriends) and is responsible for promoting and soliciting customers, while Lao Tianlai is responsible for the content arrangement of the concert; As the band's spokesperson, she was left to negotiate with the school and the music club. The other three, of course, supported unconditionally and passed by acclamation.

After the plan was settled, the four of them began to prepare for the concert - Yoshida: lead singer, Shi Geqi: guitar, Yamamoto: drummer, Lao Tian: keyboardist + others. Everyone was secretly holding back their energy: this concert might be their first and last chance to perform on stage in college, so during the practice, all four of them put all their enthusiasm into the process, and the rehearsal did not end until late that night.

In the next few days, the waves were calm, and the preparations for the concert went on schedule.

The eldest lady didn't know how to get the president of the music club, Hirochi Sanada, to agree to the request to seconded some members to help set up the performance venue on the day of the concert.

Shi Geqi haunts various forums and TT groups at the university, and from time to time she distributes small advertisements: The music club My dear mates will hold its first concert on Sunday afternoon May 18 in front of the square of the main teaching building, and students can come to watch it if they have time.

Yamamoto is also busy with his own tasks, and trivial matters are always the most fatal. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady got a lot of free labor, he really doubted that he would have been able to make it to the day the concert began.

Especially Lao Tian specially asked him to get a few stage bubble machines, which made him even more distressed. Where are we going to do this? We are just ordinary college student bands, is it necessary to make such a fancy one? But as a teammate, he still subconsciously agreed to Lao Tian's request, after all, in this area, he felt that Lao Tian was much stronger than the three of them combined.

As for Tian Licheng, he feels that his current state is very dangerous, and the trend of becoming a toy for the eldest lady has become more and more obvious. Especially when he took the order of the songs he had arranged and confidently went to discuss with the eldest lady, the conversation happened as follows.

"Miss, this is the order of singing that I arranged, you can see if there is any problem, if there is no problem, it will be arranged according to my ideas?"

"Odada, have you thought about my words?" the eldest lady looked at the playlist and threw it aside with dissatisfaction.

"Hmm, this playlist is carefully arranged and tailored by me according to your situation. Lao Tian looked puzzled.

"I told you when I was choosing a new song, I like RPG very much, right?"

"yes, I didn't change the song?"

"I believe it, I remember I said it was very good, right?"

"Well, I want to think about it~~ It seems that you said so, is there any problem?" Lao Tian still did not understand the subtext of the leader.

The eldest lady pointed to the order on the paper and said, "I like RPG very much, I believe it is very good, don't you understand what I mean? Why put "I Believe" after "RPG" for the finale? ”

Lao Tian suddenly had a feeling of thunder, Miss, you are a bit out of the routine: "Miss, I think about it from a professional point of view." If you think about it, although the song of "RPG" is very distinctive, it lacks momentum, and it is a bit too soft to be used as the finale song, while the song "I Believe" is more inspirational, and it can make the audience end in the climax at the end, so that the overall effect of the whole concert will be a little better. ”

"Hmm~ What you said makes sense, but I think it's better to let RPG be the finale. The eldest lady held her cheeks with one hand, drew circles with the other, and stared at Lao Tian with her eyes.

"Oh, yes, what's your reason??"

"Didn't you just say that? Because I prefer RPGs. "The eldest lady looks like she should be, and you are so stupid today.

Lao Tian felt that the eldest lady's reason was really a bit ridiculous, and was ready to use his rich professional knowledge to refute: "Eh~~ But for you, the song "RPG" will consume less of your voice, and it is beneficial to put it in front of ......"

"Wait! I said, I prefer "RPG", so happily decided, "I Believe" song 5, "RPG" song 6, the explanation is invalid, the protest is invalid! The eldest lady rudely interrupted Lao Tian's words, waved her hand, left her beautiful back, and left, gone, leaving only Lao Tian, who was not in a good mood, messy in the wind.

The decision made by the eldest lady can't be changed, since the aura of the song is not enough, it can only be made up by the dance. In order to create an atmosphere, Lao Tian thought of the bubble machine, so Yamamoto was tragic, and he was already busy and had to run for the bubble machine at the same time.

As the time of the concert gradually approached, the four of them also practiced more and more against time, and finally even pry into the class, and soaked in the activity room from morning to night.

Of course,The effect of such assault training is also outstanding.,They have already practiced Lao Tian's two new songs very proficiently.,And other familiar old songs are not a problem.,Everyone is gearing up.,Ready to perform well at the school festival.。

On Friday, May 16th, the day before the school festival, the afternoon sun burst through the windows, and the golden glow shone on the red keyboard.

When he saw his keyboard shining in the sun and his teammates resting on the table, he had a whim: maybe that's why I've always loved music: everyone works together, laughs together, succeeds together, and fails together. Sometimes it's just a scene, a word, that can make people work hard for a goal all their lives. If the sun shone so divinely on the dump truck, would I have thought about moving bricks for the rest of my life? Haha, I'm really idle. ”

While he was thinking, a crisp knock on the door broke the silence of the activity room.

"Which guy is so ignorant, Odada, open the door. The eldest lady, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a knock on the door, opened her eyes and glanced at it, felt that the sunlight was a little dazzling, changed her direction inward, waved her hand, and instructed Lao Tian to run errands.

The door opened suddenly, and a middle-aged man in his 30s, wearing a crisp suit, shiny leather shoes, and meticulous grooming, was standing at the door, and when he saw Lao Tian coming to open the door, he showed a gentle smile, and then nodded slightly, and asked elegantly: "Hello, is Hibiscus Yoshida there?" The man's voice was a little magnetic and quite beautiful.

"Miss, I'm looking for you. Lao Tian shouted in, this man looked quite big, so he unconsciously used honorifics: "Please come in, we have nothing to entertain you here, it's rude." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just here to take a look, excuse me. He said "rude", walked into the activity room, looked around, and saw Yoshida Hibiscus sleeping on the table without an image, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sister, you are too rude to look like this in front of the brother who came here on purpose." “

"It's okay, don't bother me, don't look at me...... "Yoshida straightened up, and when he saw the appearance of the middle-aged man, he seemed to see a ghost: "Ah! Why are you here, and you don't notify me!"

"Hey, the eldest lady's brother?" The other three men in the room looked at the eldest lady, and then at this man, and they all felt that the two brothers and sisters really looked a little similar, but the age span was a bit large.

The man introduced himself to the others in the room: "Hello, my name is Yoshida Motohiro, I am Hibiscus's half-brother, and my sister is taking care of you at school, thank you." As he spoke, he bowed to Lao Tian and the others.

Seeing that Yoshida Motohiro was personable and had the demeanor of everyone, the other three did not dare to slack off, and bowed in return, "It should be, don't dare to be, our side has always been cared for by Yoshida-san."

"Brother, do you have something to do here? We have a very tight schedule right now, so let's make a long story short as you busy man. The eldest lady looked cold, her eyes showed impatience, and she was obviously not very happy to see this brother.

"My sister always looks like she is snorting in front of me, which makes everyone laugh. Motohiro Yoshida smiled a little awkwardly at the other three.

"It's okay, it's okay, we're all used to it, it's understandable, it's understandable, hehe. The three onlookers said, why aren't they like this?

"Hibiscus, my father already knows about the performance you're going to perform at the school festival. He was very angry and asked me to come over and tell you that the daughter of the Yoshida family is not allowed to show her head in public like this, and he asks you to cancel this performance."

"What?" At this moment, the four members of the band couldn't help but exclaim.

"Did you send him a message? How else would he know this?" Yoshida stared at his brother fiercely, as if he wanted to cut him with a thousand knives.

"It's not me, I'm too busy to be busy, where can I have time to take care of your business! Didn't you take leave and didn't go to class a few days ago? The teacher in the department called home and told me that you were going to hold a concert. My father was furious and said that he would send someone to tie you up and take you home immediately, or I would try my best to stop him. That's why my father asked me to come and watch over you, and I didn't allow you to fool around. Brother Yoshida spread his hands and said a little helplessly.

"Those hateful eyeliners again, how much money have you spent in Toda, why are there your people everywhere?"

"Isn't this for the sake of your safety? Father also hopes that your little sister can spend your college years safely, happily and carefree. My brother persuaded.

"But I don't want this at all, I just want to live like an ordinary college girl! I also want to live in a four-person dormitory, and I also want to chat and eat with my roommates! I am not happy at all when I have a room like this!" The eldest lady turned her face sideways, and her emotions were a little excited.

"Little sister, it's been two years, I thought you should have gotten used to it, after all, the eldest brother lived like this back then. Hey~ This is our life. Yoshida Motohiro let out a sigh, life is really involuntary, everyone has their own difficult scriptures.

"That's why I hate that home! I don't want to get used to it, and I can't get used to it! Fate or something, it's ridiculous! It's like this when I was in elementary school, it's like this in middle school, and even when I go to college! What about my own life?" The eldest lady shouted with red eyes: "Now that everyone has finally been able to get together, is it possible that the hard practice of the past few days will be ruined just because of that bad old man's words? Brother, this may be your sister's first and last performance? Do you really bear it?" As she spoke, her hands began to tremble, and the crystal tears flowed down uncontrollably as if they had broken a thread, and only her shining eyes were still stubbornly staring at Yoshida Motohiro.

"But after all, this is a father's request, and we, as children, can only obey. The old man is old and inevitably a little conservative in his thinking, but you also have to understand your father's hardships, and his starting point is still for your good. Seeing his sister crying in front of outsiders, Brother Yoshida was also a little at a loss, so he could only persuade him bitterly.

"Then why didn't he be kind to my mother back then? Now he keeps saying that it is for my own good, for me to be carefree, but he only makes me troubled and sad! Why do I want to live like this, this is not what I want at all, why! Why ......" The eldest lady covered her eyes with her hands, sobbing and choking, and her thin body was like grass trembling in the wind.

This is the first time Yoshida has been so helpless in front of the other three, and the sudden weakness of the usually strong eldest lady makes people a little unaccustomed.

Yoshida Motohiro didn't expect to say it well before, but suddenly, his sister's mood became hysterical. He and the other men in the room didn't know what to say to comfort her, so they could only look at each other and look at me, I look at you.

The whole room fell silent, except for the intermittent sobs of the eldest lady.
