"Sailor Moon" is the No. 1 rated cartoon for two consecutive years, and since the sisters and brothers entered the venue, they have been attracting the curious and envious eyes of children all the time.

The heat of that gaze made even a veteran person like Disco feel unbearable, and he longed to draw a three-eight line around him to show that he was not familiar with them.

A few children surrounded the twins, of course, mainly around their sister, after all, her long, smooth golden hair wig was too stylish.

"My grandfather bought me the clothes, and the wigs were given to me by my godmother." Di Didi let the children touch their wigs and patiently answered everyone's questions.

The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of pride and joy.

"I also have transformation props, but I want to play the piano today, so I didn't bring them out." Di Didi said generously, "If we can all be selected by the orchestra, I can bring the transformation pen to lend you to play for a while."

Yu Tong, who was standing far away, complained to Ergouzi, "Come to participate in a selection, it's about to become your daughter's meeting, and it's not annoying to say the same thing so many times." ”

"They are dressed like this, just waiting for others to envy them, how can they be annoying."

As soon as the words fell, Disco beckoned in the direction of the two children.

Di Di Di and Di Di ran over and asked, "Dad, what are you telling us to do?" ”

"The auditions are about to begin, you two stop," Disco said, gesturing to the audience, "Let's go take a seat and think about the repertoire that will be played for a while, and don't put the cart before the horse." ”

Di Di asked, "What do you mean by putting the cart before the horse?" ”

"You two are here to participate in the audition, but after entering the door, the focus has been on the clothing, and you can't tell the priority is putting the cart before the horse." Disko teased, "If you weren't chosen, you two wouldn't cry!" ”

The two little boys immediately stopped squeaking, they still wanted to go to Chang'an Street Square to play.

Disco was very satisfied with this effect, and asked his daughter-in-law quietly: "Can I sing with a white face?" ”

Yu Tong gave a thumbs up.

The selection soon began.

The Children's Symphony Orchestra selects mainly children who play orchestral music.

The piano is generally not included in the orchestra's establishment, and this time only two people were selected to play the piano concerto, and one of them was a substitute.

In the past few years, the piano has been hot, and parents with some conditions at home will send their children to learn piano.

There were more than 30 piano children who came to participate in the piano audition, ranging from six or seven years old to fourteen or fifteen years old.

And most of them were introduced by acquaintances in the song and dance troupe, and there are practitioners in related fields at home, and several of the children are already at the level of piano level 10.

Since Di Didi learned the piano, she has participated in piano competitions and held recitals, but she has never participated in piano exams.

There is no comparison in this regard.

The candidates came to the stage one by one to play, Di Didi sat under the stage, and her fingers jumped with the children on the stage.

When she meets someone who plays very well, she will also give a wow and silently applaud others.

"I may not be able to choose today," Di Didi retracted her gaze and said in a regretful tone, "There are two young ladies in front of me who play particularly well. ”

"You're not bad," Yu Tong encouraged her daughter, "You just have to do what you have to do, and you don't need to think about anything else." It doesn't matter if you don't choose this time, your mother can still contact you with other opportunities, but only if you show your best level and cherish every opportunity to perform......"

Di Di Di promised: "I will definitely perform better today than when I practiced at home!" ”

Yu Tong was about to praise his daughter a few words, but she continued: "I wore Sailor Moon clothes today, and I can transform into the most powerful pianist!" ”

Yu Tong: "......"

Okay.

Let her hypnotize herself as the best pianist.

Perhaps the hypnosis was really successful, Di Didi took the stage and played two tunes, one Czerny and one "Red Star Shines Brightly".

Both pieces were played with passion, almost the best she had ever played since she was a child.

When the last piano note fell, the audience was silent, and Disco didn't understand the piano, but he felt that his daughter played very smoothly this time, and her little expression was quite rich.

How nice is that!

So, he broke the silence and took the lead in applauding his daughter, almost shouting Encore like a concert.

After Di Didi's curtain call, he rushed off the stage amid applause, pulled his mother and said, "I feel that I play very well, Mom, do you think I can be selected?" ”

"Let's see."

After the performance of all the piano children who participated in the piano audition, the mothers of the two girls were called backstage by the leaders of the song and dance troupe.

As soon as they saw this battle, Disco and Yu Tong glanced at each other.

It seems that the two eldest children have been chosen.

Di Didi felt a little lost in her heart, nested in the chair and didn't speak, her younger brother came over and made a grimace and teased her for a long time, so she couldn't help laughing.

shook his brother's hand and said, "I lost the election, you work hard for a while, one of us must be selected, otherwise we will run in vain today!" And Dad wasted a day in vain. ”

Her father originally wanted to study for the PhD at home, because they were going to participate in the selection, so they put down their books and went out together.

Di Di suddenly felt a lot of pressure, but still hummed.

When the family was waiting for the selection of stringed instruments, someone on the stage shouted Di Didi's name, "No. 17 Di Jinyan's parents please come backstage." ”

Hearing his daughter's name, Disco stood up suddenly, and sat back in a curtled manner after two seconds, "Daughter-in-law, go quickly, I'll accompany them here." ”

At this time, she was named, and Yu Tong suspected that the orchestra wanted her daughter to be a substitute.

She didn't really want her daughter to be a substitute, but looking at her daughter's eyes full of anticipation, she still said, "Di Didi, come with me and listen to what the teacher has to say." ”

When she got backstage, the leader of the song and dance troupe wanted to talk to her about the substitute place.

A parent had already declined the invitation to be a substitute, and the child was already in middle school, and if he could officially participate in the performance, he would be willing to cooperate with the orchestra at any time.

However, the chances of substitutes being able to officially play are very small, and parents do not want to use their children's precious time to gamble on a small probability event.

In addition, piano children who can be recommended to participate in the audition can generally be contacted for other performance opportunities.

If you don't get the right pick this time, there are other options, and there is no need to be a substitute.

Yu Tong didn't want either, she asked her daughter beside her for advice, "Are you willing to be a substitute?" As a substitute, there is a 90% chance that you will not be able to go on stage to participate in the performance, but you have to be present at every rehearsal. ”

Di Didi asked, "Can the substitute play with the symphony orchestra?" Can we rehearse together? ”

The teacher affirmed, "Of course." ”

"Then I'm willing to be a substitute!" Di Di Di replied loudly.

She always practiced by herself, occasionally playing a piece with her brother's violin, and never with a large symphony orchestra.

When she watched the Vienna Symphony Orchestra in concert on Hong Kong Island last year, she always thought that it must be a wonderful feeling to be able to work with the orchestra, so she wanted to try it even as a substitute.

The child himself is willing to be a substitute, and Yu Tong didn't stop it, anyway, the girl is only in the first grade, the schoolwork is not very tense, and the preparation time is only more than two months, it is still cost-effective to use two months to broaden the child's horizons.

*

Di Didi's side was a substitute, but his brother's side was very lucky.

There are a large number of violinists in the symphony orchestra, and this time, the children's symphony orchestra will select more than 20 violinists.

Di Dida, who was not favored by his parents before, became an official member instead, and even he himself didn't believe it a little.

His sister worked so hard to be a substitute, and he actually became a full member?

"Don't your tail, boy!" Yu Tong touched his head, "The teachers couldn't find too many piano boys to pick you temporarily, you were selected to be a big man in the middle, and the level is still far behind, practice hard!" ”

The younger brother who was just about to cock his tail: "......"

Because of the possibility of an official performance on stage, the female star has a sense of urgency to increase the practice time for herself.

Relying on the school's proximity to home, it only takes five minutes to reach the school by bicycle.

She wakes up at 6 a.m. every morning and turns her one-hour piano practice before school into a ninety-minute practice.

Then my mother rode her bicycle through the alley and took them to school before eight o'clock.

At lunchtime, she also arranged for herself to practice for 45 minutes.

The little assistant was influenced by a diligent female star, and she had to practice the piano with her schedule every day, which was miserable.

found several reasons to break up with the female celebrity's sister, but was suppressed by the female star.

"If you play the wrong note during the performance, it's a shame!"

Hearing this, Di Dida, who occasionally played the wrong note, had no choice but to resign herself to keeping up with the rhythm of the female star and continued to practice the piano bitterly.

The twins are going to the show, and the impact on the second aunt is the greatest.

After the two children went to elementary school, there were not many places where they could use her, and the second aunt was embarrassed to take money and not work.

I had already submitted my resignation to Yu Tong and his wife.

However, the two children are going to participate in symphony rehearsals, and they need to be picked up by the song and dance troupe for four days a week, and she has to stay for two more months.

After the twins' performance, she went back to the countryside.

The reason that the second aunt found was very legitimate.

There is no shortage of people on the twins' side, and she wants to go back to the countryside to help her son.

She has been earning wages in the city for several years, but her two sons have planted fruit trees in the countryside and occasionally went out to do odd jobs.

In the past, the income from planting fruit trees, especially peach trees, was still very good, but in recent years, the nearby township governments have encouraged farmers to plant peach trees, so that the fruit trees can be planted on a large scale.

However, the scale has formed, but the price of the fruit has fallen sharply.

Her two sons want to switch from peaches to kiwifruit, and the price of kiwifruit on the market is still very considerable.

After switching to kiwifruit, she could go back and help.

The second aunt has lived in her own house for seven or eight years, and she is also interested in her two children, sometimes more serious than her own mother and grandmother.

Of course, Disco couldn't let the second aunt go back like this.

"My little brother, are they sure they want to grow kiwifruit?"

"Almost, they won't do anything else except farming, and peaches don't make money, so they will plant to make money."

As for letting them come to the city to work, then don't think about it.

At present, there are many laid-off workers in the city, not only from Beijing, but also from other places who come to Beijing to find opportunities.

It's full of people looking for work.

They have land in the countryside, so let's live by holding on to it.
