Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 24 Let’s learn a musical instrument too

Zhou Xiaoyun thrived at school, and when he came home, he transformed into a capable mother's assistant. Every day after lunch, I take my ducks to the pond and let them sit for more than an hour. Now the ducks quack excitedly when they hear Zhou Xiaoyun’s shouting. When I got home from school in the afternoon and finished my homework, I took Xiaobao and Erya with me.

Now, under the guidance and education of her teacher Zhou Xiaoyun, Xiaobao is not as picky about eating as before and has grown a little bit stronger. Zhou Xiaoyun often takes Xiaobao out to play, and Xiaobao's body becomes much stronger as he runs and jumps. In fact, the more frail a child is, the less he can stay at home all day. Exerting more activities outside has many benefits for the body.

Erya walks very steadily now and speaks much more clearly than before. Zhou Xiaoyun's favorite thing is to teach Erya how to speak.

In total, she spoke very little to her parents, and had no chance to speak to her brother Dabao. When she was the class monitor and dealt with her classmates, she was concise and to the point. Even to Teacher Fang, she didn't say much. Compared with Wu Mei, who keeps talking all day long, Zhou Xiaoyun can be considered a mute.

But in front of his younger brothers and sisters, Zhou Xiaoyun felt that neither of them had a deep impression of their former selves, so Zhou Xiaoyun was more relaxed and casual and talked more.

 Sometimes Zhou Xiaoyun would look at Erya running all over the floor and couldn't help but love Erya as his own daughter Niuniu.

 Zhao Yuzhen was so satisfied with Zhou Xiaoyun's performance that she didn't notice Zhou Xiaoyun's age-beyond maturity and silence at all.

Zhou Xiaoyun is thinking about something recently.

 Teacher Fang liked to play the accordion and teach students to sing in music class. At that time, the teaching conditions were relatively poor and there were no pianos or electronic keyboards. The pleasant sound of Teacher Fang singing on the accordion became Zhou Xiaoyun’s greatest enjoyment.

Ever since, Zhou Xiaoyun had the idea of ​​​​learning to play the accordion.

 You said, it would be a great thing for a girl to know how to play a musical instrument! Zhou Xiaoyun was ready to give it a try.

But how should I tell Teacher Fang about this? Well, I have to choose the right time.

 Teacher Fang lives in the county town. He lives in a small dormitory provided by the school on weekdays. He only returns to the county town on weekends. The dormitory is not big, just a bed, a desk and some simple daily necessities. Zhou Xiaoyun was lucky enough to visit Teacher Fang once when he moved his homework. She was also surprised to find that Teacher Fang was a very neat and tidy man. The small dormitory was very tidy and clean, and there was no smell of smelly socks like a bachelor's residence.

 After school that day, Zhou Xiaoyun left behind Nuoxi Tang No. 1 Wu Mei and Niu Xi Tang No. 2 Wang Jingjing, and quietly came to the teachers' dormitory at the back of the school alone.

 This small row of dormitories houses five or six households of teachers from the school. Others live in two rooms with a small kitchen for a family. Teacher Fang lives alone in the smallest room on the outside. There is a simple small kitchen of a few square meters opposite.

Fang Wenchao was correcting students' Chinese homework, and he was so focused that he didn't notice Zhou Xiaoyun standing at the door.

Zhou Xiaoyun stood for a long time without seeing Teacher Fang raise his head before he coughed.

Fang Wenchao looked up and saw Zhou Xiaoyun and was stunned: "Zhou Xiaoyun, it's you, why didn't you come home after school? What do you want from me?"

Zhou Xiaoyun walked into the dormitory and stood next to Fang Wenchao, hesitating about how to open his mouth.

Fang Wenchao looked at the student he usually liked very much, and saw that she was hesitating a little strangely: "It's okay, just tell me what you have to say, don't be afraid."

Zhou Xiaoyun wondered whether he should be tactful or straight to the point? Just test his tone first: "Teacher Fang, I don't have anything important to do, I just want to come and have a chat with you. What are you busy with? Are you correcting the Chinese homework you did today?"

"Yes, many students in our class have done their homework wrong, and they are very slow to correct it." Fang Wenchao couldn't help but feel a headache when he mentioned the students' homework. Many boys in the class are as wild as monkeys and cannot sit on the bench for three minutes. There are all kinds of mistakes in the homework. He revised it for a long time but didn't get a few decent ones.

At this time, a serious, beautiful, clean and tidy homework book came into view, and Fang Wenchao glanced at the cover. Above it were the words Zhou Xiaoyun. I couldn't help but admire in my heart: How wonderful it would be if the students were like this Zhou Xiaoyun in front of me!

Zhou Xiaoyun chatted with Fang Wenchao for a few words, and slowly brought the topic to today's music class: "Teacher Fang, the song you taught us to sing in music class today was really nice, I liked it very much. I can sing it now, How about I sing it to you again?"

Fang Wenchao appreciated Zhou Xiaoyun’s generosity and he readily agreed and also proposed to accompany Zhou Xiaoyun.

Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't get what he asked for, so he kept saying hello.

Fang Wenchao took out his accordion, his slender white fingers moved flexibly on the keys, and the melodious sound of the piano suddenly sounded.

Zhou Xiaoyun’s childish voice sang a newly learned song: In the garden, under the fence, I planted a small red flower...

 After the song ended, Fang Wenchao got excited and played another campus song.

Zhou Xiaoyun listened with fascination. He really didn’t know whether he was fascinated by the sound of the piano or by the smiling Fang Wenchao.

"Bah bang bang," Zhou Xiaoyun clapped his hands excitedly: "Teacher Fang, you play the accordion so beautifully. I was fascinated by the sound of your piano in music class today. After school, I thought about it. I have the courage to come to you. I like the accordion very much. Do you think you can teach me how to play the accordion when you are free? I promise to learn it seriously. "

Zhou Xiaoyun finally spoke and looked at Fang Wenchao with pleading eyes.

Fang Wenchao was stunned and a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhou Xiaoyun's purpose of coming was this. After thinking about it for a while, I was alone and had time, but...

"Teacher Fang, please, please promise me. I won't waste your time. Just let me come to your place to study for half an hour to an hour every day after school. I really like the accordion. If you are busy with your homework, But why don't I come and help you, or do something for you? I'll take care of the sweeping and taking out the garbage here. Do you think so?"

Zhou Xiaoyun's big eyes were shining with anticipation. Fang Wenchao was attracted by the instant brilliance of this little girl and was speechless for a moment. I felt in my heart that this little girl will grow up to be a beautiful girl who will charm many boys.

Seeing Fang Wenchao staring blankly at her without saying a word, Zhou Xiaoyun thought that he was unwilling and couldn't help but became frustrated: "Forget it, I know that such a request is too embarrassing for the teacher, I'd better go home first." After saying that, he turned around and walked slowly towards the door. go.

“Wait a minute, Zhou Xiaoyun, I didn’t say I wouldn’t agree to it.”
