Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 985 245. The End of the Aftermath [Twenty-One]

Fortunately, there was a poster of the teacher at the door.

Xiao Ma came to the poster in front of the door.

After a moment, he took out his cell phone.

Open the selfie.

Tilted head.

Push the corners of your mouth to the sides.

Click.

"Old horse!"

Marco looked over quickly and saw that it was indeed the teacher appearing.

Xiao Liu accelerated and sprinted to the door with a not-so-cool parking move. He asked breathlessly, "When did you get here?"

"Just arrived." Xiao Ma was relieved to see a companion coming, "Lao Wang didn't reply to my message."

"Haha," Xiao Liu sneered and got out of the car. After parking the car, he said, "He just called me. I knew he just woke up. He got the time wrong. He wanted 8:30, but told us 7:30."

Xiao Ma nodded, "Not surprising."

Just as Xiao Liu was about to speak again, Xiao Ma spoke first: "Wait."

Xiao Liu: “Ah?”

Xiao Ma: "Refuse to answer any questions related to the final exam."

Xiao Liu stretched out his right hand and said, "Same here."

The two of them shook hands, and Xiao Ma said in a deep voice: "Let's be happy for a few days as long as we can."

Ha ha ha ha--

The two friends who hadn't seen each other for more than half a month reached a high degree of consensus again at this moment.

Click.

The photo of the two friends with the poster is completed.

After taking the photo, the second child entered the waiting time. The two had already planned to make Lao Wang pay a "heavy price".

While waiting, the two children were not idle either. They looked here and there. Through the windows, they could clearly see that the first floor had changed a lot.

Xiao Ma: "Maybe it's time for a concert."

Xiao Liu: "Well, I memorized the music last night."

Xiao Ma: "How is it?"

Xiao Liu smiled evilly: "Very good."

At this moment, a cool voice hit the back of their heads.

"Hello, two classmates."

The two children turned around at the same time and saw a lady in a beige sportswear standing at the bottom of their steps. She smiled at them energetically and asked, "Are you here for class?"

"It's not a class," Xiao Ma saw this and immediately jumped down and raised his price. He walked up to the older sister who looked like the head teacher of the class next to him and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"Wait." At this moment Xiao Liu also jumped down the stairs.

Xiao Liu stared at the aunt in front of him warily.

Don’t answer strangers on the street. This is what Xiao Liu’s mother has told him since he was a child. After a moment, he asked, “Do you know him?”

Xiao Liu pointed to the poster behind him.

It’s as if the person on the poster behind is right here.

Xiao Ma didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after Xiao Liu did this, he became a little alert. He remembered that there was a class meeting during the holiday the day before yesterday, and the head teacher repeatedly emphasized the importance of protecting one's own safety.

The situation was deadlocked for a second.

The next second, a light laugh broke out.

"Of course I know him, Mr. Li An, a famous pianist in Chengdu and the owner of Piano Classroom No. 4."

After a pause, he said, "He's also my boss."

boss? !
The second child was suddenly a little confused.

"I have answered my questions. Now it's your turn. What do you mean by this is not considered a class? Where are you from? What are you doing here sneaking around?"

"Ok?"
-
Underground parking garage.

"Stop pushing, stop pushing."

Xu Li was almost driven to death by her son. "Aunt Xiaoyun just sent me a message saying that she will be here soon and someone will open the door for them."

Is that what he meant? Brother Xiaohu thought his mother still didn’t get the point, “I’m late!”

"Who do you blame?" Xu Li stepped on the brakes and turned the car out of the garage. "You told them it was 7:30, but you didn't wake up until 7:15."

Wang Xiaohu: "Me!"

Xu Li: "Seat belt."

Wang Xiaohu: “Oh.”

After a while, "Mom, Auntie Xiaoyun doesn't understand music, why did you ask her to come?"

Xu Li: "I don't understand music either."

Wang Xiaohu: "You can settle accounts."

Xu Li: "Just ask her that later."

Wang Xiaohu thought to himself, "Mom, did Aunt Xiaoyun resign because of marriage? Did her husband's family not allow her to work?"

Xu Li smiled: "Where did you hear these things from? Who told you this?"

Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said as if it was a matter of course, "Aren't many skits played out like this? The heroine had a miserable life after getting married in her previous life. She was bullied by her husband's family and her status at home was even lower than that of a nanny. Not only did she have to serve the nanny, but she was also bullied by her. In the end, she was forced to death. After her rebirth, she swore to pay back her blood debt with blood in this life, and then she had to pay."

Xu Li felt both amused and angry when she heard this. What was amusing was that her son's last sentence sounded quite resentful.

What made her angry was naturally when her son started watching online dramas again. "Wang Xiaohu, I'm telling you, don't watch these things in the future."

"Who wants to watch this kind of crap?" Wang Xiaohu was of course resentful. "This kind of crap actually costs money. I won't watch it even if you pay me."

Wang Xiaohu then explained, "My grandpa drove me home that day, and I was bored on the way and was browsing my phone. I accidentally swiped it and it was all this stuff."

Xu Li sighed and thought that the country should really find a way to regulate the Internet environment. This kind of emotional fast food aimed at adults should not be seen by children.

"Anyway, just don't look at it again. Aunt Xiaoyun's resignation has nothing to do with getting married. She just doesn't want to do this job anymore."

Wang Xiaohu thought of his old mother: "Too tired."

Xu Li sighed: "Yeah."

Nowadays, any job is tiring, but some jobs are not only tiring, but the working environment is even more suffocating.

Even if the office is located in the sky, no one has the leisure to turn around and look at the clouds outside the window, except the boss.

"Hey, mom," Wang Xiaohu suddenly remembered something, "Aunt Xiaoyun was the company's receptionist at first, right? Isn't that what we need now? Aunt Xiaoyun must be the most experienced."

Xu Li smiled and said, "Don't expect her to stay here for long."

Wang Xiaohu exclaimed, although she really didn't want to see Aunt Xiaoyun's smiling face every time she went to the classroom, she could accept it for the teacher.

Brother Xiaohu’s logic is very simple. A teacher needs a professional receptionist to operate a store - Aunt Xiaoyun is a professional receptionist.

"Why?" Wang Xiaohu was puzzled.

"She's just here to help temporarily."

Starting from the 14th, Xu Li interviewed four applicants over the next few days.

There were recent graduates with music degrees, former practitioners with relevant work experience, and one who claimed she could work as a receptionist and also give piano lessons.

Li Ang's original words to her were that academic qualifications don't matter, all you need is a quick mind and a bit of integrity.

Xu Li did not refute anything on WeChat at the time, although she did not quite agree with Li Ang's opinion on how to handle the matter.

According to Xu Li's experience, based on the current job requirements of Sigang, the educational requirements for the front desk staff they are recruiting can be appropriately lowered, but there must be no restrictions.

To give just one point, learning ability itself is an important ability, and academic qualifications are the most intuitive manifestation of this important ability.

The nature of the business of Piano Classroom No. 4 means that its receptionist needs not only a smiling face but also the ability to learn quickly.

As an accountant, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand music. But as the receptionist of Piano Classroom No. 4, it would be inconvenient for her to carry out her work if she doesn't understand music.

If every potential customer who comes to the store for consultation needs a professional teacher to assist in reception, then what is the point of her looking for a receptionist with a high salary? Wouldn't it be enough for a few teachers to take turns?

Including after-sales visits after the course starts, the further the front desk work progresses, the more professional knowledge support is needed.

Therefore, Xu Li stated two priorities in the recruitment information: relevant academic qualifications and relevant practitioners.

However, he was not very satisfied with the results of the interviews. The reasons for his dissatisfaction were different for each of them, but the only thing they had in common was that none of them were as good as they looked on their resumes.

Xu Li was actually mentally prepared for this situation. It was just a front desk job, so how much should she expect? Although she had offered a salary 20% higher than the average level for the position in the recruitment information.

So after much deliberation, she finally contacted Xiaoyun, who had resigned three months ago.

Xiaoyun agreed without hesitation. Xu Li was quite touched, after all, Xiaoyun was already married.

It's not a long time nor a short time. Xu Li and Xiao Yun have known each other for almost ten years. From being superiors and subordinates in the beginning to calling each other sisters later, Xu Li knows Xiao Yun's situation very well.

With Xiaoyun's ability, she thought it wouldn't take long for Li An to understand why she asked Xiaoyun to come over, although Li An didn't ask anything on the phone and left it all up to her to make the decision.

Let Xiaoyun set up the student management files first, and then she can recruit new people.

Of course, if Xiaoyun is willing to stay here, she will support her wholeheartedly.

Although the school has not officially opened yet, Xu Li has a hunch that Sigang's future path will become wider and longer.

If she can't make the cake even with a golden signboard like Ang Lee, then she has failed.

Xu Li is still very confident in her abilities.

She already has a vision for the future of Sigang.

“Lao Liu’s bicycle!”

Oh, I don’t understand how kids address each other nowadays.

Does Lao Wang sound good?
Xu Li stopped the car and Wang Xiaohu got off in Xi'an.

The store door was open, and Wang Xiaohu smelled a dangerous odor before he even reached the door.

do my best!

Brother Xiaohu leaned over to the window and looked inside.

Then I was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Attend class?

The movable small blackboard was pushed to the side of the water bar. Aunt Xiaoyun was sitting at the bar, writing something with a pen in her hand, looking very serious.

Marco sat next to Aunt Xiaoyun as if giving instructions, but A-Liu was even weirder, standing in front of the blackboard with a large marker in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xiaohu heard his mother walking up the stairs behind him and rushed straight into the door.

The three people who were in class looked over at once.

"Lao Wang!" Xiao Liu shouted with a grin, gritting his teeth.

Sending a sweet smile from a distance, Zheng Haiyun gave Brother Xiaohu a wink.

cold!
"Auntie Xiaoyun, long time no see." Wang Xiaohu asked the two friends perfunctorily, "What are you doing?"

Ma Ke: "Ah Liu is explaining the musical notation to Teacher Zheng."

Talk about the five-line notation
Just then Xu Li also came in.

"Aunt Xu."

"Aunt Xu."

"Sister Li." Xiaoyun waved.

Xu Li nodded: "You guys continue, I'll make you something to drink first, Marco, do you two want some lemonade?"

Marco: “Yes!”

Xiao Liu: "Auntie, I want one too!"

Xiaoyun: "I want the same one!"

All of a sudden, the three people who were in class seemed to have become a group. Wang Xiaohu scratched his head, why was the situation so strange?

But it seems that Aunt Xiaoyun did not "make things difficult" for the two of them, and that's enough.

"I want lemonade, too."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he sat down next to Zheng Haiyun. He stretched his head and looked. The five-line staff drawn on the paper was still straight.

"Teacher Zheng, just remember to sing dol in the third space of the treble clef, and then follow the order to deduce the notes in other positions."

After listening to Teacher Liu explaining the musical notation for one minute, Brother Xiaohu actually felt a little sleepy.

I secretly took out my phone and took a look.

Two minutes ago, Xiaobei sent a series of hahahahaha in the group, and then followed it with: Linlin and I got in the car.

There are a lot of hahahas above, but the ending below is not "啦" but "了"?
It's quite abrupt, isn't it?

Wang Xiaohu guessed that Xiaobei was probably too happy to see the small car.

When he thought about it this way, he felt that everything made sense.

"Teacher Zheng, can we continue?"

After explaining the names of the notes, Xiao Liu felt that it was enough. He dared to say that what he had said today would be enough for Aunt Xiaoyun, who called herself Teacher Zheng, to digest for several days before she could remember it completely.

The prerequisite is that you have to take it out and look at it and remember it after you go back.

But the next scene dropped his jaw.

"Teacher Liu," Auntie Xiaoyun raised the pen in her hand and gestured, "Please listen first. If you have no questions, you can continue."

next second.

"The chief material of musical study is sound."

"The four characteristics of musical sound are pitch, duration, size, and timbre."

"The musical series arranges the musical notes in order of high and low. Arranging from low to high is called an ascending series, and from high to low is called a descending series."

"The stave is made up of five lines and four spaces, with the first line being the bottom line."

"doremifasoalasi is the Latin syllable solfeggio, and cdefgab is the corresponding note name."

"That should be all, right?"

As Aunt Xiaoyun finished speaking, Liu nodded subconsciously.

too frightening…

The pony was also scared.

Wang Xiaohu felt a little dizzy, so he just sat aside, and Aunt Xiaoyun didn't even look down at him.

This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that there is no writing on the paper in front of Aunt Xiaoyun, only five horizontal lines.

In other words, Aunt Xiaoyun memorized all these things just by listening to what Ah Liu said.

She was indeed the scary woman that he had been afraid of since childhood!!

Xu Li, who was cutting a lemon, smiled.

Your Aunt Xiaoyun is much more capable than this.
-
Jinhua Road.

Xiaobei's mother was driving and heard the two girls behind her whispering and laughing from time to time.

It’s mainly Xiaobei’s laughter.

In fact, it’s not Xiaobei’s fault. If someone familiar looked into the back of the car, he would also laugh.

Because no one has ever seen a car like this.

She had a small strawberry-shaped hairpin pinned to her hair.

Not to mention others, even Xiaoche herself seemed to have put up her bangs for the first time.

The hairpin belongs to Xiaobei, and it was Xiaobei who helped her make it.

Now her forehead is clear and her eyes are comfortable, but there is a hint of helplessness in her expression.

This is the expression on Xiaobei’s face when he smiles.

Suddenly Xiaobei's voice became louder.

"Linlin, can you please grow your hair?"

When Xiaoche thought of that scene, he was so scared that he kept shaking his head: "No, no!"
