"Yo! Elementary school girl, why haven't you been to the practice room lately? The senior wore earplugs and concentrated on playing a tune before he saw Chen Lan standing aside.

"I've been a little busy lately, so I don't have time to come over." Chen Lan explained. The orchestra has a regular meeting every Thursday, and Chen Lan happened to have a cold last week and took leave to rest in the dormitory, so he didn't go over.

"You didn't attend the meeting last week, and you haven't been to the practice room in the past two weeks, you don't know, do you?" The senior asked.

Chen Lan was puzzled, "What's the matter?" ”

The senior gave up a place to the side, "It's the performance on the day of the school anniversary, our club is going to play the national anthem and the school song at the opening ceremony." ”

Chen Lan moved a chair and sat over, "Then do we want to sign up?" ”

"There are only about 20 people in our club, and those who can play are as good as possible, and I and you are the ones who learn to play drums in the club, as well as Senior Sister Xu Qing, there are only three people in total. Senior Sister Xu Qing is in her third year of high school this semester, she shouldn't be involved, if you can learn those two tunes in two weeks, then I'll let you play, and I'll play the drums. ”

Chen Lan was quite unconfident in herself, "In just two weeks, can I learn?" ”

The senior didn't care and smiled, "It's okay, I believe in you, I'll give you a name first, and when the time comes, you can see if you can keep up when everyone practices together, if you can't keep up, won't I be your alternate." ”

Chen Lan habitually sent him a good person card, "Senior, you are really a good person." ”

The senior joked: "Care for the elementary school girl, everyone is responsible~" After finishing speaking, the senior's face was stern, "But then I'm going to teach you the basic techniques, remember the drum sheet that taught you last time." ”

Chen Lan's attitude also became serious, "I still remember." ”

The senior handed the drum stick in his hand to Chen Lan, "Learn how to hold the drum stick first, put the drum stick on the thumb and index finger sword...... the senior took another drum stick to Chen Lan to demonstrate.

"Yes, that's it." The senior handed another drum stick to Chen Lan, "Slowly lift your wrist when playing the drum, don't let go of your fingers......"

Chen Lan tried to beat the drum according to the senior's dictation, "Bang-"

The drums beat a little muffled.

"The posture just now is wrong, you do it again." The senior frowned and asked Chen Lan to do the action just now.

Chen Lan raised his wrist, and then naturally let the drum stick fall, "Knock-"

"When you knock down, relax your wrists, don't lift your forearms, and don't spread your fingers apart...... Well, yes, that's it. Seeing that Chen Lan was finally ready for the third time, the senior no longer tightened his face.

Chen Lan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, once the senior became serious, he was even stricter than the teacher, but the strict teacher was a high apprentice, and in just one hour, Chen Lan mastered a few basic movements, and accidentally learned the fancy drum stick.

When it was time for the practice room to close, Chen Lan glanced uncontrollably at the practice room of the string band next door, but did not see Ding Yuan.

The senior closed the door of the practice room, turned around and noticed Chen Lan's small movements, and said with a smile, "Are you looking for that junior?" ”

Chen Lan was taken aback, and looked at the sky with a weak heart, "Senior, what are you talking about, I don't understand." ”

The senior didn't pierce Chen Lan's careful thoughts, as if he said to himself: "Hey, that junior who plays the violin hasn't been here for many days, and without him to accompany me, it's really lonely as snow......"

Chen Lan: ......

The next day, the orchestra had a regular meeting, Chen Lan came neither early nor late, the members of the orchestra already knew each other, Chen Lan was very popular, and many people greeted her as soon as she entered the door.

Seeing Ding Yuan holding his chin and looking over here, Chen Lan paused, hesitating whether to go over, and then the senior sitting in front of Ding Yuan waved his paw at her, "Hey~ Elementary school girl sit here." ”

Chen Lan turned his face away as if nothing happened, and went to sit down next to the senior.

At the beginning of the meeting, the head of the troupe, Zhou Yawei, took the roll call first, and when she saw that all the staff had arrived, she said in a voice that could be heard clearly in the classroom: "The thirteenth of next month is the school anniversary, according to the rules of previous years, our orchestra will play the national anthem and school song at the opening ceremony, and those who can sign up for the performance will find the deputy head Ouyang Jiaping this week, or ask me to sign up." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yawei called Ouyang Jiaping, "Ouyang, a few people have signed up so far." ”

Ouyang Jiaping, the senior who taught Chen Lan the drum kit, stood up lazily and said, "Fifteen people." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Ya pondered for a while, "We will find time to rehearse next week, because the number of people in the orchestra is small, so it will be played in the form of an ensemble, and the newcomers should squeeze out time to practice these two pieces and try to catch up with the rhythm of others......"

After the meeting ended, the senior asked Chen Lan if he wanted to go to the practice room.

Chen Lan thought about it, it's still early, it's better to practice.

Because the first and second years of high school are rehearsing for the school celebration activities, Chen Lan's class has not yet decided what program to perform, so the progress is much slower than that of other classes, and it is very likely that he will not even be able to enter the finals at that time.

The recreation committee member lost his temper and even cried on the table several times in class, so that the atmosphere in the class has been a little depressing in recent days.

Ding Yuan walked behind with a lollipop in his mouth and a violin in one hand.

Ouyang Jiaping wanted to reach out and put his hand on Ding Yuan's shoulder, and at Ding Yuan's indifferent eyes, he withdrew his hand again, "Junior brother, don't be so indifferent~ Be careful that you can't find a girlfriend." ”

Ding Yuan bit the lollipop and said seriously: "It's not right to fall in love." ”

Ouyang Jiaping looked at the sky speechlessly: I have nothing to do when I am full, and I don't worry about salty radishes.

The melody of the school song of No. 1 Middle School is catchy, comparable to the brainwashing divine comedy ten years later, almost everyone can hum it after listening to it once, Chen Lan has not heard the school song of No. 1 Middle School for many years, the lyrics can't be remembered, but the melody can still be hummed.

"Planting peach trees and plums for a hundred years is based on the competition, and the pillars are humble and dare to take on great responsibilities."

……

Less than a month before the school anniversary, Ouyang Jiaping didn't have the time to teach her basic skills, he used the mp3 player to play the school song, and directly taught Chen Lan to start playing.

Chen Lan followed with a few words, "Self-improvement, sharpening ambitions......"

Ouyang knocked on Chen Lan's head angrily, "Concentrate." ”

Chen Lan covered his head and looked at him pitifully.

Ouyang felt a little guilty in his heart, and his tone softened, "The practice time is limited, we have to hurry up and practice...... That, I'll play a song for you first......"

Ouyang's hand holding the drum stick turned flexibly, and he focused on playing the drum along with the music.

It seems that when every drummer is playing the drums, his face can't help but show a wanton flying expression, as if the whole person is indulged in music, and with the music Xiàn out of joy, anger and sorrow, full of youth.

Chen Lan's silent heart was pounding, and at this moment she felt that she was still very young, and her life should not be a pool of stagnant water.

After Ouyang finished playing a song, Chen Lan came back to his senses.

For some reason, I suddenly laughed.

It's a good feeling to be so young.
