It seems that after his fifth birthday, Huaibao got busy, and that was in the second half of the semester of 2005.

Because of his certain talent, Huaibao is the best one among more than 30 children in the piano shop, so Huaibao stood in the first place among the five people who participated in the children's piano group competition held in the city in the second half of the year.

More often, the teacher asked Huaibao to stay and teach him, and every time after class, he couldn't wait to run to the piano classroom next door before he had time to change his tutu and shoes.

Lying on the glass, looking at Huai Bao's chubby little back sitting in front of the piano, the melodious piano sound came from the classroom, which was very good, and Nian Nian was almost stunned, Wang Li came to call her a few times, but she didn't react.

Because Huaibao was going to participate in the qualifiers the next day, it seemed that she couldn't wait to go home with Huaibao on this day.

To the right of the villa is a special activity area, with a football field and a basketball court, as well as a small park for children to play.

Especially at night, some aunts and grandmothers love to dance on the basketball court, which also breaks the hearts of the little teenagers who love to play in the villa area.

Xia Yecheng also came back early today, when he went home, he didn't see the two children, so he went to the basketball court with his classmates, probably because he loved going to the basketball court this year, even if he couldn't shoot, he played decently, among his peers, Xia Yecheng's height can be regarded as being proud.

When Nian Nian came back with Wang Li, he saw Xia Yecheng shining in the crowd at a glance, and he was originally depressed because he didn't go home with Huaibao, but at this moment, when he saw his little brother, he left it behind.

"Mom, I want to see my brother play."

"Let's go, wait a minute, go home and eat with my brother."

After saying hello to her mother, Nian Nian stepped on a pair of small pink leather shoes and ran to the basketball court.

Some boys who play ball can't help but look sideways when they see the little glutinous rice dumplings running in, after all, we miss the white skin and cuteness, and the face is still fleshy, which makes people want to go up and rub it.

Nian Nian obediently sat on a chair in the court, watching her brother play basketball, every time she saw Xia Yecheng score a goal, she would learn to applaud her brother.

In the end, Xia Yecheng finally saw her, raised his hand and looked at his Casio watch, and felt that the time was almost up, and it was time to go back to eat.

"Yo, Xia Yecheng, your little daughter-in-law is here, and she is going home?"

One of the boys who played with Xia Yecheng quipped.

Xia Yecheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, ignored him, just gave him a roll of the eyes, picked up his painting tools and backpack from under the ball frame and walked to Niannian.

"Brother."

Seeing her brother coming over, Nian Nian shouted with a smile, Nian Nian hadn't changed her dance skirt yet, revealing some fleshy little arms, her soft long hair was tied into a small ball, and her little face was pink and tender, like a little strawberry.

It's really getting cuter, and I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future.

Xia Yecheng touched her head.

Nian Nian squinted and smiled, kicked his feet, got down from the chair, took Xia Yecheng's outstretched hand, and the two walked towards the residential area.

"Why are you alone? What about Chubby Dun? ”

"Huaibao, he's going to compete, come back tonight."

Oh yes, when Xia Yecheng heard her say this, he also remembered that Huai Bao was going to participate in the piano competition. The venue of the competition also happened to be in the gymnasium next to the experimental elementary school.

Recently, there has been an advertisement next to it, saying that there are more than 100 piano shops in the city, and I don't know if this little chubby dun can do it. Originally, he was also going to watch the game, but he also had an Olympiad competition that day, so he could only cheer him in his heart.

"What are you going to eat today?"

"Cream cakes, and ribs."

"Really? Shall we hurry back to dinner? ”

"Good! Did my brother finish painting the doll he drew for me last time? ”

I almost forgot, the last time I was painting at home, Nian Nian and Huai Bao came to play, Nian Nian wanted to paint a beautiful doll for her, because she had to hand in her painting homework that day, and she said that she would give it to her in a few days, but I didn't expect this little head to have a really good memory.

"I'll give it to you after eating."

"Good!"

After passing the qualifiers, the preliminary round of the children's piano group competition was scheduled for the end of December, and more than 100 piano companies eliminated half of them in the qualifiers.

In the interest class classroom, Huaibao will follow the teacher to practice the piano seriously, out of the classroom, Huaibao is not to practice, seeing Nian Nian playing, he also wants to play together, Xuan Xuan and Yi Qianjun are not annoyed, let him go to the interest class is his own choice, not what kind of person his parents want him to become, and then force him to choose, they don't want their children to become capable people, but they care more about the happiness of children. Respect your child's choices.

So the passage of the qualifiers was not what they expected, but it was something they were proud of.

"Huaibao, why don't you go to practice?"

Nian Nian took a small basket and pretended to be a family in the yard, and when he went to school in the morning, he went with Huai Bao, but in the evening, when Huai Bao came out to play together, Nian Nian always felt like he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Hand pain. I don't want to practice. ”

He stretched out his fleshy hands and shrunk his ten fingers.

Nian Nian listened, put down his little shovel, quickly stood up, walked in front of Huai Bao, used his hands that had just touched the sand to hold Huai Bao's hands, and then leaned in front of his small mouth, pouting and blowing.

"It doesn't hurt that way. Do you still go to practice? ”

Huai Bao stretched out his hands back, slowly squatted down, and stood up the pot that had just been kicked by Nian Nian.

"If you don't practice, you won't practice, and you'll practice again tomorrow."

When Nian Nian heard him say that he didn't practice, he grinned happily, revealing a row of small teeth, and the two little pigtails also jumped, and then he also squatted down and pretended to be a family with Huaibao.

Of course, in Niannian's heart, all she feels happy about is that she wants a good friend to play with her, and she has no concept of the game or anything, either for her or for them.

If the two of them knew that yesterday, the two of them had a conversation like this, wouldn't they be a little embarrassed? But the answer is naturally no, children don't think so much.

On the day of the preliminary competition, Huaibao asked for leave in the afternoon, and it was Friday, so Niannian couldn't leave with Huaibao, and she had to go to kindergarten for half a day.

When school was out in the afternoon, as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, and the teacher hadn't said goodbye, Nian Nian couldn't wait to take off his game clothes, get up from the small stool, run to the door and put on his little leather shoes, and then ran across the big playground at the school gate to wait for his parents to pick him up.

It just so happened that Wang Li and Shang Wenxuan were also waiting outside the door, and when they saw Nian Nian coming out so early, they smiled and didn't say anything, and they didn't stop much, and got into the car with Nian Nian in their arms.

The two families met in front of the gymnasium, and when they saw Xuan Xuan, Nian Nian looked at them beside them, and they didn't see Huaibao, and the little guy was still a little disappointed, but she knew that Huaibao went to participate in the competition.

"Have you started?"

"It's started, don't worry, Huai Bao is the penultimate one."

The four of them handed the invitation card to the hostess at the door, and went in, Nian Nian walked in the front, and some little brothers and sisters with guitars and violins on their backs came out of it, they were dressed very formally, probably just after attending the concert, there are several venues in the sports institute hall, and some middle schools will also book venues here for activities.

And Huaibao's competition venue is in the main stadium, the closer to the gate, the sound is getting clearer and clearer, the preliminary competition began this Monday, just more than 50 piano shops in a group of five people, so the draw to Huaibao is also on Friday.

Xuan Xuan took Nian Nian and them to the position that had been lined up in the second row a long time ago, and there was a vacant seat next to it, which was for Yi Qianjun, who was still at work.

And Huaibao's grandmother and grandparents sat in the third row. Right behind them.

The children who came to the stage in front of them were all children from other piano stores, and Nian Nian could still look at those children excitedly at first, because she felt that there would always be Huaibao in the back, so she endured it, and finally couldn't help it, and fell asleep in her mother's arms.

Originally, Nian Nian was going to dance today, she wanted to see Huai Bao play the piano so much, the last time she saw him play the piano, she thought it was very good-looking, so she was fascinated, when she took a nap at noon today, Huai Bao was not there, and Nian Nian was not asleep, so in the afternoon, Nian Nian couldn't help what she said, especially this piano music was long and long, and she fell asleep when she listened to it.

In the end, Wang Li woke her up.

"Baby, wake up, Huaibao is on stage."

Nian Nian, who was woken up, was still sleepy-eyed, she stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, and when she heard Huaibao's name, she really woke up, raised her small body, and looked at the stage with wide eyes.

"Next, please invite No. 99 child Yi Huai to come to the stage, please No. 100 child get ready."

In a burst of applause, I saw the little chubby dun coming out of the curtain behind, Huai Bao was wearing a small black suit, because he was a little fat, so the outside suit could not be buttoned, and the white shirt inside was also propped out by his little belly, he bowed to the audience decently, and then walked towards the white piano.

And, at this time, Yi Qianjun also just caught up.

"It's better to come early than to come at the right time."

As soon as Huai Bao climbed on the stool in front of the piano, the audience burst into laughter, Xuan Xuan shook her head embarrassedly, she knew that her son was a little nervous, so he would sit on the stool used to step on the children's feet.

Yi Huai's children naturally didn't know what they were laughing at, he felt that the stool was a little short, and then it was uncomfortable to sit, especially since he had to raise his hand to touch the piano keys, and he had to try to look up and see the piano keys.

In the end, the staff couldn't stand it anymore, so they hurriedly went up and picked up the little fat dun and put it on the stool behind.

He can't be blamed for this, the piano shop doesn't step on the footstool, and the piano is also shorter.

After everything was ready, Huai Bao put his little fat hand on the black and white piano keys, and the door was suddenly crowded with a group of little brothers and sisters who had just finished playing, because they heard the hilarious laughter in the venue, and I heard that there was a particularly cute little fat man, who had been sleeping when he was backstage, and others were putting on makeup or something, so he sat on a sofa stool and slept soundly, and his saliva flowed out.

And this little fat man is Huaibao.

After the first note came out, the sound of the piano was revealed one by one, the song was Huaibao's own choice of Burgmuller's "Knight", the tune is very casual, but also more cheerful, the pause is appropriate, don't look at Huaibao's pair of fleshy little fingers, but as one of the best little experts in the piano shop, his hand speed is far from that.

The judges in the audience were already ready to score, but the sound from the piano on the stage turned tightly, the tune immediately rose, and the tune changed, which was also what Huaibao wanted to play, and the name he chose was "Little Star".

The audience was also in an uproar.

This also made Xuan Xuan and Yi Qianjun not expect that such a casually selected interest class would also stimulate the child's hidden talent.

In this regard, looking at the natural and brave son on the stage, Xuan Xuan quickly moistened his eyes.

After the song, there was immediately fierce applause from the audience, even the little brothers and sisters at the door were non-stop, Huai Bao climbed down from the stool, looked at their appreciative eyes, immediately blushed, bowed quickly, and ran towards the backstage, but one did not stand firm, and he hooked himself down.

was supposed to sympathize with Xiao Huaibao, but the scene immediately burst into laughter again.

Even Xuan Xuan, who was touching her tears, was successfully amused.

"Huaibao, does it hurt?"

In a burst of laughter, only one person ran to the front of the stage, his little hands were lying on the edge of the stage, and Huaibao, who looked at himself slowly standing up, said.

The moment he saw Nian Nian, Huai Bao really felt that the knee that had just hurt was no longer painful, he shook his head seriously, his face was still red, he was still standing on the stage, the light above his head hit his body, his long eyelashes were shadowed under his eyelids, but his eyes were burning, and Nian Nian was standing under the stage, they looked at each other, and finally grinned.
