Chapter 22 Going to the county seat
"Next, I announce that the program that won the first place in the June 1st Art Performance in Zhumaying Town is: "The Song of the Chinese Young Pioneer Team" selected by Zhumaying Town No. 1 Primary School, and "Singing and Smile" selected by Dazhai Village Primary School." As Director Wang announced the final first place award program, the art performance in the town finally came to an end.
Liu Yufan won the second place in his solo "Our Fields", which was a bit regretful, but it was expected. After all, Zhenyi Primary School is an old winner. With the home court advantage, it was already an unprecedented opportunity to set up a first-place quota for Dazhai Village. Although Liu Yufan's program must be better in terms of quality, this is not a professional competition, and balance must be considered.
However, the town leaders set up a "Best Individual Award" for Liu Yufan alone, which was considered encouragement.
In fact, from Liu Yufan's heart, he really didn't pay much attention to the rankings in the town. Everyone knows whether the program is good or bad. What he really cares about is whether he can continue to participate in the competition in the county and get in touch with higher-level performances.
The result did not disappoint Liu Yufan, including his solo and the chorus of Dazhai Village Primary School. A total of four programs were determined by the town as programs participating in the county performance.
After hearing this news, the Dazhai Village Primary School team cheered!
As soon as he walked out of the auditorium, Chu Guisheng and the students saw the principal Song Linsheng waiting at the door, who was looking at them with a smile.
"Haha, Lao Chu, it's a good thing. One is the first and the other is the second. They were all selected to participate in the performance in the county. Now you are a big win for Dazhai Village Primary School." Song Linsheng's cheerful voice came from afar, not hiding his excitement and pride at all.
"Haha, Principal, this is all due to this child Yufan. If you want to thank him, thank him. Look, these certificates and prizes are all ours!" Chu Guisheng said excitedly holding up the things in his hand.
"Yes, Old Liu gave birth to a good son, Yufan is a good person. Everyone has worked hard, so I treat you at noon today to comfort everyone." It can be seen that Song Linsheng is really happy. He is famous for sticking the door, but today he is rare to be generous.
When the students heard that they could have dinner outside, they naturally cheered for a while.
During lunch, Principal Song and Chu Guisheng were very excited and drank a lot of wine. Although the students could not drink, they had enough soda pipes and they also had a very good meal. Although they were just some home-cooked dishes, everyone was very happy, mainly because they were in a good mood and almost all the meal was spent in laughter and joy.
After lunch, Liu Yufan did not go back with everyone, but went to the department store on the street. Just after the performance, he saw his mother Chu Qing and his sister, and agreed to have dinner together here.
"Oh, the big star is back! Haha, I'm going to the restaurant at noon? Are you full? I'm keeping all the big cakes and meat wrapped around for you." Seeing Liu Yufan walking in, my aunt Chu Rong said with a smile.
"Auntie, uncle." Liu Yufan first greeted the two of them, and then walked towards the family next to him.
"Wow, brother, you are so awesome and you can play the piano. When did you learn it? Can you teach me?" Seeing Liu Yufan come in, the little sister Xiaoran asked like a cannon.
"Okay, I have time to teach you." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Xiaofan, what's the first place?" Xiaofei Xue Dongzhe asked with a smile. Xue Dongzhe likes to play and doesn't like to watch shows, and has not seen Liu Yufan's performance.
"Oh, second." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Xiaoran said you sang very well, why didn't you get the first place?" Xue Dongzhe said unfairly.
"Haha, rankings are not that important, they mainly involve participation." Liu Yufan was too lazy to explain to him. This guy is full of his mind and he never wants to play these things.
"By the way, I heard from my second aunt that you still have to perform in the county?" Xue Dongzhe asked excitedly.
"Yes, I'll go tomorrow." Liu Yufan said casually.
"That's amazing! Do it well and try to get the first one." Xue Dongzhe said jokingly.
"Okay, let's fight." Liu Yufan laughed.
The two families chatted for a few more times, and a few customers came. My aunt and uncle were busy greeting him, so Liu Jianjun and his family took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Along the way, Liu Jianjun couldn't help asking his son about playing the piano. Liu Yufan only said that he learned from Chu Guisheng and what he saw in the textbook. Although Liu Jianjun still didn't understand, his son had basically no other actions except practicing programs during this period. The reason why he had such a big change was that he had to attribute it to his son's talent.
During this period, Liu Jianjun was also busy. Perhaps Liu Yufan's words had played a role. More than a month ago, Liu Jianjun finally became a probationary party member. There were few party members in the school, so before he could be a "quasi-party member", Liu Jianjun, had a new job - responsible for the school's League work. To put it bluntly, there was nothing to do. Apart from developing two league members a year and organizing several league activities, there was nothing left. However, Liu Jianjun was a serious person. He was busy improving the rules and regulations of the League branch these days. Sometimes he was often busy until late. Chu Qing complained about him a lot about this.
However, Liu Yufan was very happy about his father's progress. Although there is no substantive content in the group work, there is still a lot of room for improvement after doing it well. His father is still young now and may not have worked as a teacher for the rest of his life. Moreover, when it comes to activities, he has a lot of ready-made things in his belly. He can just take out one or two things for his father to do, and he can also add a lot of points. Maybe his father can really achieve something in the future.
Seeing that he had entered the house, Liu Yufan also ended his mind and began to plan for going to the county tomorrow.
"I guess there will be many experts in the county, and I am really looking forward to it." Looking back at the "Basics of Music Theory" in my hand, Liu Yufan thought about the situation of tomorrow's competition.
There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Liu Yufan and several other students participating in the county performance in Dazhai Village hiked to the intersection two kilometers away, waiting for the only bus to the county in the town.
This is also what the town education office said yesterday when they held a meeting for them. They took the bus together and were led by Teacher Liu Yanhong.
After waiting for about half an hour, a small white dot finally appeared in the distance and slowly approached.
Liu Yufan waved and the car slowly stopped.
There were not many people on the bus, but most of them were students who performed in the county. For people at this time, going to the county would be called far away. There was nothing to do if they had to go there, such as going to the county for medical treatment, they would not go easily.
Liu Yufan took more than a dozen other people into the car, and the car immediately squeezed up.
When Liu Yufan saw Li Yanhong sitting in front of her for the first time, he nodded politely at her and shouted: "Hello Teacher Li."
"Well, Liu Yufan, are you all here?" Li Yanhong was not enthusiastic about Liu Yufan, but she didn't deliberately give him a look. After all, she was a team representing the entire Zhumaying Town, and Liu Yufan was also a member of the team. Although the program he worked hard to schedule was suppressed due to his performance yesterday, this unhappiness could only be suppressed in his heart. If he had the same knowledge as a child, it would be a joke. Seeing that Liu Yufan was still sensible, Li Yanhong did not deliberately make things difficult for him.
"Teacher Liu, we have 16 people, all of them are here." Liu Yufan answered appropriately. Like Li Yanhong, Liu Yufan was not very interested in this woman. Yesterday's performance in front of those leaders and other teachers' evaluations of her, Liu Yufan already had a rough understanding of what kind of person this person was. However, no matter what she was like, as long as she didn't show off her demon girl, Liu Yufan wouldn't bother with her. Of course, when it comes to superficial skills, Liu Yufan, a mature "little adult" is no less than this woman.
"Well, I'll be in the county later, don't move around. I'll follow my commands, do you know?" Li Yanhong ordered, and suddenly felt a sense of pleasure in her heart. Haha, don't look at you being so good, you still have to listen to me when you get here.
Although Li Yanhong was unwilling to admit it, she was a little jealous in her subconscious mind. But, why are she jealous? She was jealous of this child playing the piano better than herself? She was jealous of him as he could show off in the county? It was funny to say that she was a teacher, and she actually was jealous of a student. This idea was just buried deeply in her heart.
Along the way, a few people came up and a few went down, but the overall situation was still relatively crowded, of course, because of Liu Yanhong and these students.
Along the way, Liu Yufan didn't find a seat and stood until the end. Fortunately, the county town was not far away, only 30 or 40 miles away. After more than half an hour, the car finally drove into Fu'an Bus Station.
"Everyone comes to take the team, I'll click on the name." Li Yanhong got off the car, sorted out the team and counted the number of people. She is the team leader, so she can't let any problems with the students.
After counting the number of people, Li Yanhong led the team to Fu'an Cinema, which was the performance venue designated by the county education bureau.
"Wow, this is the county town, it's so lively."
“There are so many cars on the street.”
"Look at the store over there, there are so many things, so beautiful!"
Most of the children here are coming to the county town for the first time, and everything is fresh. They look around and exclaim from time to time.
Even Li Yanhong didn't care too much about the children, and she was watching all this greedily. This place was like a huge magnet, deeply attracting her. Whether it was the busy streets or the rows of shops, she was so fascinated by it. Although it was not the first time she came here, every time she came, she had the desire to not want to go back.
The only person here who doesn't respond much is probably Liu Yufan. He is used to seeing the prosperous cities in later generations, and then looking at the small county town more than ten years ago, Liu Yufan didn't feel anything at all. In his opinion, the current Fu'an County Town is not as good as a prosperous town in later generations.
"The TV Academy is ahead, everyone is following closely. There are many people, don't get lost." Looking at the crowd gathering not far away, Li Yanhong was excited, greeted the students and led the team over.
