After saying that, the male teacher immediately rushed out of the door and locked it from the outside. Then he walked away quickly, and no one knew where he was going.
Inside the room, the female teacher walked up to Erniu and the others with a warm smile. "Don't be afraid, little students. We're not bad people."
The eldest boy complained in his heart, how could he not be afraid? As soon as they came, they locked them in the room.
Fangfang had never seen such a scene before. Her legs trembled as she asked, "W-What do you want to do?"
Sanwa's face fell. "I was saying that the old lady just now was unreliable. What road is she pointing to? Could this not be the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, but some illegal factory?"
Da Hu felt this was very possible. He stepped forward, standing in front of the two girls, and said in a trembling voice, "You, don't be afraid. You run first, and we'll cover your rear."
The female teacher was at a loss for words. What was going on? She waved her hands and said, "We are not bad people. I am really a teacher." Then she pointed to the ID card tied around her neck.
Da Wa looked carefully and saw Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu continued, "Even if I'm fake, the teaching buildings, administrative buildings, and artificial lake you've seen along the way can't be fake, right?"
Big Kid thought about it and agreed. It would cost so much to build these things, why would he go there? He could just lie to them, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly. "Then, then what about just now? Why did that teacher lock the door?"
Zhou Yu thought, isn't this because he's afraid of classmate Chen Ya? She ran away.
Of course, she couldn't say this out loud, and continued with a warm and sweet smile, "Hey, little classmates, what would you like to eat or drink? I have some black tea and imported biscuits here. Would you like to try some?"
Hearing about black tea and imported biscuits, Da Wa swallowed subconsciously, but he remembered that Ning Tang and Shen Lie had warned him not to eat anything given by strangers when he was out. What if he was drugged and they wanted to sell it to other places?
So he said firmly, "Even if we die of thirst or hunger, we will not eat a single bite of your biscuit or drink a sip of your tea."
Half an hour later.
Zhou Yu hooked the handle of the Ru porcelain teacup with her index finger, resting her pinky on the bottom. She sat elegantly on a stool, watching the five children wolfing down their food in front of her, taking a sip of tea from time to time. "...So you all came from Hailang Island to attend university in Shanghai? That's not easy. Ah, so you're Shen Zhanping and Shen Xiangdong, and you're the older and younger brothers of Shen Ya. Incredible, incredible."
Big Baby continued to eat voraciously, not even bothering to answer Zhou Yu's words, "Wow, Mom, Dad, don't blame us, these biscuits and what the hell? Black tea, they're so delicious."
Zhou Yu was a teacher after all, so he knew all about the family background of the five children in just a few words.
When she learned that Sanwa, at such a young age, was actually a swimmer at the Navy Swimming Team training base, she couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
The Navy Swimming Team may not be well-known outside, but in the eyes of locals, it is a first-class place to go.
She asked her eldest child in detail and learned that although her college entrance exam scores weren't very good, she had scored a perfect 120 points in math. This year's math was particularly difficult, so she asked her eldest child, "You must be the top scorer in math in your province, right?"
Maybe, Big Boy nodded indifferently.
A trace of regret flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes. It was such a pity. If it weren't for the poor scores in other subjects, the eldest child would have been able to go to a top school based on the 120 points in math.
After finishing his meal and wiping the biscuit crumbs off his face, the eldest child still remembered to lock the door. "So, Teacher Zhou, why did you lock us up? You won't let us leave."
Zhou Yu's face showed embarrassment. This kid? He eats but doesn't forget his business.
Just as I was thinking about how to explain to the eldest child, the lock on the door clicked open and two people came in from outside.
One of them was the male teacher with a small mustache and long hair that Da Wa and the others had just seen. The other one was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a slightly plump figure. The male teacher called him Vice President Jiang.
Vice President Jiang looked around, his eyes lingering on Fangfang and Erniu, and he coughed, "Which one is Chen Ya?"
Fangfang's heart skipped a beat and she instinctively stood in front of Erniu.
Erniu squeezed her hand, smiled, and told her not to be afraid. She reached over her body and said clearly, "Hello, teacher. I am Chen Ya."
Vice President Jiang looked her up and down. The little girl was wearing a long blue floral dress, with her black and beautiful hair draped over her shoulders. She had phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and small lips. She looked very heroic. In other words, she had a very photogenic appearance.
Vice President Jiang smiled and rubbed his hands. "What do you think?"
Erniu:……?
What are you thinking?
Vice Dean Jiang saw Erniu's confusion, and thinking that he had not explained it clearly, he repeated, "What I mean is, classmate Shen Ya, how did you come up with the idea of applying to our school?"
The admission score for Shanghai Conservatory of Music this year was less than 500, but Erniu scored 613 points, which was enough to apply for Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
Learning music these days is not as popular as it is in later generations, and the tuition is high. After all, musical instruments are not cheap, and burning CDs is even more expensive. Most people think that playing music for fun is a waste of time.
Even though the Shanghai Conservatory of Music has good faculty and facilities, it is not as popular as some other schools.
So when they heard that there was a candidate with more than 600 points, he was actually admitted to their school.
The first reaction of the braided male teacher named Anton and Teacher Zhou Yu was, "Don't let her get away! Quickly notify Vice Dean Jiang!"
This is how the scene of locking the door happened.
Who knows if Chen Ya has applied for the wrong major? What if she comes this time to take her file away and take the college entrance examination again next year? What should I do?
Erniu blinked. "Oh, because I like singing. I've wanted to apply to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music since my freshman year of high school."
These words made Vice President Jiang, Anton and Zhou Yu's brows relax.
When they heard that Erniu had decided on their school as her target early on, and that it wasn't really a mistake, the three of them thought, now the duck is cooked, it can't fly away, right?
Vice Dean Jiang nodded repeatedly and said with a kind smile, "Not bad, not bad, classmate Shen Ya is very ambitious."
There were other teachers sitting in the office. One of them, with high cheekbones, looked at the mean-looking female teachers from other academies and was very jealous of Vice President Jiang for accepting a high-scoring candidate. She said sarcastically, "Vice President Jiang, what's the big deal about a high score? Don't forget, this is a music academy. Scores are secondary; professional skills are primary."
She couldn't be said to be wrong in saying this.
Vice Dean Jiang suppressed his dissatisfaction and continued to show Shen Ya a kind smile. "You must be tired after all this journey. After you report, I will ask Teacher Zhou to take you to the dormitory." He blinked at Shen Ya and said, "The dormitories in our school are very nice."
The dormitories of Shanghai Conservatory of Music are made entirely of wood, with wooden tables, wooden beds and wooden floors. There are electric fans in the dormitories and washing machines in the corridors. The accommodation conditions are much better than those of ordinary schools.
What Vice President Jiang didn't mention was that most students lived in four-person rooms, but he arranged a two-person room for Shen Ya, which was a treatment only available to teachers.
Vice President Jiang didn't bother with the female teacher with high cheekbones, but she was still aggressive. Especially when she saw Vice President Jiang winking, she guessed that he must have given Chen Ya preferential treatment.
She gave Erniu a sarcastic sidelong glance, playing with her nails as she said, "There's a saying, oh, right, high scores but low intelligence. Some people might only be able to take exams, but if you ask them to play the piano or sing, they'll be clueless."
She slapped her mouth exaggeratedly, "Could it be that you only know how to read the questions on the test paper and can't read the music score?" After saying that, she smiled at Vice Dean Jiang, "I'm not talking about Shen Ya, don't take it personally."
Vice President Jiang almost fainted. Isn't this just scolding someone in the face?
Without thinking, he blurted out, "Chen Ya, sing a song for her and let her see if you are really a high-scoring idiot!" He emphasized the last four words.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu suddenly became anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
Although Erniu said that she liked singing and had decided to come to Shanghai Conservatory of Music since her freshman year of high school, she was a freshman after all and had not received any systematic training. Everyone present was a teacher and a leader in the field of music. Even Teacher Gao Guangu had led his team to win gold medals in several music competitions. Wouldn't she be timid when she opened her voice?
Although Zhou Yu was anxious, Anton was not. He tugged at her sleeve and soothed her, "Don't worry, let's see what happens first." He murmured almost inaudibly, "Maybe this girl can give us a big surprise."
Anton had reason to think so.
Although Erniu's college entrance examination score is high, this is a music college after all.
It is impossible for Anton to think highly of Erniu just because of her college entrance examination score.
Anton locked the door and hurried to find Vice President Jiang. The main reason was that he could hear the peculiarity of Erniu's voice.
That's a really good voice, huh?
The voice is pure and bright, which they say in the industry is "naturally high", meaning they are born with the ability to sing high notes.
This is incredible. You have to know how many great singers have to train their voices year after year, day after day, to achieve this "naturally high" condition.
Thinking of this, Anton looked at Erniu with anticipation and a little joy.
Da Wa rolled up his sleeves, wanting to give the high-cheekbone female teacher a beating. He yelled, "Er Niu, sing for her. Let her see what you're capable of."
A group of friends who came from the island nodded one after another. It was obvious to all that Erniu sang well. It was not like what this female teacher who came from nowhere said.
Amidst the gazes of those who were expectant, encouraging, scrutinizing, or looking down on her, Erniu nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll perform my performance. I'll sing 'In the Fields of Hope' for you all."
Vice President Jiang's eyes lit up. This song "In the Fields of Hope" was the work of soprano singer Yang Shuqing.
It embodies strong characteristics of the times and is filled with praises for the fields of hope. The lyrics are plain and simple, but the melody is graceful and smooth. One line of lyrics can have four inflections. In other words, without the basic skills, it is impossible to sing it with that flavor.
When the high-cheekboned female teacher heard that Erniu had chosen this song, a hint of gloating flashed across her eyes. This song is not easy to sing, and she was just waiting to see Erniu make a fool of herself!
Erniu took a deep breath, entering a state of ecstasy. She exhaled, cleared her throat, and said, "Our hometown is in the fields of hope..."
"We have lived on these fields for generations..."
Her voice is clear, high-pitched and yet graceful. In the high notes, it can even turn around and around. After a few turns, it becomes higher. She repeats several notes in succession, each one higher than the last.
Her singing is sometimes moving, sometimes loud, as if it really brings everyone back to the field of hope, feeling the scenery of the wheat fields. Listening to her singing is simply a pleasure.
Vice President Jiang closed his eyes involuntarily and tapped the back of his legs with his fingers to keep the rhythm.
Big Boy glanced at the female teacher with high cheekbones, a hint of pride flashed across his eyes, and said, "Look."
Fangfang was very excited. She knew that Erniu was the best!
Zhou Yu and Anton looked at each other, and saw excitement and joy in each other's eyes. This time, their academy could be said to have received a top seedling!
Even the pride on the face of the high-cheekboned female teacher froze as she looked Erniu up and down with an expression of disbelief.
After finishing the song, Erniu imitated the way actors on TV took their curtain calls, lifted her skirt, bent her knees slightly, and saluted.
Vice President Jiang looked at the graceful young lady in front of him and smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close. He deliberately glanced at the female teacher with high cheekbones and said, "Oh, so this is what it means to have high scores but low abilities. I really hope that next year we can accept a few more students like Chen Ya, who have high scores but low abilities." He emphasized the four words "high scores but low abilities".
The high-cheekboned female teacher was so angry that her face flushed red. She slammed the door and walked out, leaving a message before leaving, "Don't be so complacent! A child's talent doesn't necessarily mean they'll be great when they grow up. I want to see what she can achieve in the music industry."
Vice President Jiang was no longer angry. He stretched his neck with a smile and replied, "Oh, then just watch slowly."
Seeing how protective several teachers are of Erniu, I believe her future campus life will be very smooth.
Da Wa felt relieved and sent Fang Fang to school with Da Hu and San Wa first. Then the three boys went to report to their own schools.
While Da Wa was getting along well with his classmates by using pickled food, dried mangoes and seaweed, Ning Tang and Shen Lie also received a group photo of several children sent by Ning Jun, as well as a letter from Da Wa.
When the letter arrived, Ning Tang and Shen Lie had just returned from a stroll on the beach.
The photos were still in the envelope. Ning Tang cut the envelope open with a knife, and two photos fell out.
Ning Tang looked at the photo of Ning Jun and the five children in front of the photo studio and immediately laughed. Pointing at Ning Jun, he said to Shen Lie, "Look at my brother. Isn't he a little fatter than before?"
Chen Lie glanced at him and replied, "Indeed."
Ning Jun now works at the Public Security Bureau in the Shanghai District. In addition to handling cases, he also has a lot of social engagements. It's not like when he was in the army, where he had five-kilometer training every day, so it's normal for him to gain weight.
After looking at the group photo, I looked at the group photo of the eldest, second and third children.
The eldest boy is the tallest, half a head taller than the second tallest, the third boy. The two of them stand on the left and right of the second girl.
The eldest and third brothers were both wearing white shirts and black pants, and the two brothers had some similarities in their eyes and eyebrows.
However, the eldest son has thick eyebrows and big eyes, while the third son has fair skin, single eyelids, and is very handsome. They are two different types.
Erniu was wearing the fashionable blue floral dress that Ningtang made for her, looking like a beautiful girl.
The three of them smiled brightly at the camera and looked very happy.
Ning Tang looked at their smiles, touched their faces in the photos with his fingertips, and couldn't help but smile.
After laughing, he put the photo on the wall and said, "Put it here so we can see it when we look up."
After looking at the photos, they read the letter sent by Da Wa. The letter reported that they were safe, that they had successfully met with Ning Jun, and that they had reported to school. It also vividly described the incident of being "locked up", which made Ning Tang and Shen Lie laugh.
Ning Tang and Shen Lie were looking at the photos and letters, while Ning Xue and Su Junyan were wondering why there was no news from Su Guangzong and Su Yaozu. Did they arrive at school or not?
Ning Xue was so anxious that she was spinning around in circles. "Could it be that he was kidnapped on the train?"
The incident when Su Guangzong encountered the kidnapper when he was a child was still vivid in her mind, and she couldn't help but think about it too much.
Su Junyan read the newspaper and drank tea, looking nonchalant. "If they want to kidnap someone, they kidnap children and girls. Why would they kidnap two grown men like them?"
Ning Xue glared at him and said, "Why don't you just go there? To dig coal in the illegal coal mines?"
Su Junyan was even more speechless. "Can't you wait for him to come at 2 o'clock? Okay."
Ning Xue was very melancholy. "If I had known earlier, I would have gone with them."
Since they were little, she has taken care of all the affairs of Su Guangzong and Su Yaozu. The twins still can't make their own beds or wash their own clothes. It's impossible for them to learn it all at once when they suddenly leave her side. There must be an adaptation process, and it's not known how much hardship they will have to endure.
Thinking of this, Ning Xue wanted to fly to Shanghai, to the university where the twins attended.
Su Junyan finally managed to persuade her after much persuasion, but doubts arose in the hearts of both the couple.
What are the twins doing now?
