Chapter 399 Can you give it to me?
Xia Qingling looked up and saw Xia Guyu jumping in with two lunch boxes in her hands. She was about to invite her in when she heard her say with regret:
"Oh, I came here in a hurry and wanted to have dinner with you, but you ate first."
Xia Qingling took the lunch box from her hand, put it on the table, and said with a smile:
"I haven't finished eating yet, we can still eat together." After that, she stood up and walked to the kitchen while saying:
"You sit down first, I'll get you chopsticks." After a while, she took the chopsticks and handed them to Xia Guyu.
"Then there is another box here, what should I do?" Xia Guyu took the chopsticks and said helplessly.
Xia Qingxing thought for a moment and replied,
"Leave it there. We'll have it for breakfast tomorrow morning. It's not hot now, so we can leave it there."
"Okay." Xia Guyu opened the lunch box and started eating. After a moment, she leaned over, looked at Xia Qingxing's lunch box and asked,
"What are you eating?"
"Pickled pepper pork liver."
"I want to try it."
Seeing that she didn't mind, Xia Qingxing picked up some and put it in her bowl. After Xia Guyu finished eating, she immediately praised,
"It's delicious. Did you make it?"
"My aunt made it." Xia Qingxing said truthfully.
"Oh, so it was Aunt Zhou who made it. She is really good at cooking." Xia Guyu said, jokingly:
"Haha... I don't have a partner with Su Xiangnan. My only regret is that I can't be Aunt Zhou's daughter-in-law and eat her cooking every day."
Listening to her words and seeing her smiling face, Xia Qingying's mood improved. She felt that Guyu was a little sun, always able to give people unlimited energy and warmth.
"Hey, why aren't you curious about why I suddenly came here now?" Xia Guyu asked as if he had thought of something.
Xia Qingying smiled slightly, as if he had already understood it, and replied:
"I think it should be Moya who asked you to come here."
"Ha, how did you know?" Xia Guyu was surprised.
"I guessed." Xia Qingying replied with a smile.
"You guessed it right, it was indeed Moya who asked me to come." Xia Guyu blinked and explained to her:
"Moya said that Lu Jingchen was not at home because of a mission. She lived in the army dormitory and could not go out at will. She was afraid that you would be scared at home alone, so she asked me if I could come and accompany you. Haha, of course I could. I will stay at your house for the next few days. Let's keep each other company."
Good friends are like this. Even if they don't say anything, they know that the other person is always thinking about them.
The two of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

The final selection of piano students was carried out the next day. Xia Qingling first observed the palms and fingers of the twelve people who stayed yesterday, and then checked their finger flexibility and rhythm strength, and then asked everyone to sing the same song separately.
The wider the palm and the longer the fingers, the more advantages.
As for how to check the flexibility of fingers, in the modern world, it can be tested by typing speed, but now there are no computers, so Xia Qingling uses a more conventional method:
let everyone open their hands with five fingers and ten fingers facing each other, then the same fingers are grouped into one, and circle separately, and the other four groups are clasped together. The most important thing to look at is the flexibility of the ring finger.
The sense of rhythm is to let everyone shout "one, two, one" together, and listen carefully to those who shout too early or too late in the middle, which means
they don't have a strong sense of rhythm. Let everyone sing to judge whether they are out of tune. People who are born not to sing out of tune have a good ear.
The last step is to practice on the piano to see if anyone has an absolute sense of pitch.
After this set of processes, the official students finally selected are Hao Aihua, Yunxiang, and Xu Duoduo. The substitute students are: Mo Ya and Huo Xiaoling.
Xia Qingying thought that Mo Ya would be sad because she was not selected as a formal student, but she found that Mo Ya was not unhappy at all, and was even very happy. She even looked relaxed.
"Don't you want to be a formal student?" Xia Qingying asked Mo Ya in confusion.
"In fact, I just wanted to be a substitute student at the beginning." Mo Ya said with a smile, and then said:
"I don't want to give up singing and dancing and only play the piano. Now I can get what I want."
Xia Qingxing didn't expect that Mo Ya would be so opinionated and thoughtful. She felt very relieved for her change unconsciously. She nodded in agreement and said:
"Well, it's good for you to focus on situational singing and dancing. After all, singing is your strong point. Now you can also keep up with dancing. But if you want to learn all these at the same time, you will need to spend more time than others. Can you bear it?"
"Qingxing, I am not afraid of hard work. Except for the time for eating and sleeping, I can use it to practice." Mo Ya's eyes brightened as she spoke, and her tone was full of joy:
"In fact, I don't think training is hard at all. On the contrary, I think there is nothing happier than training. Every time I finish training and lie down in bed peacefully, I feel particularly fulfilled and happy."
Xia Qingying knew that Mo Ya had now found something meaningful in her life. Seeing that she was so motivated and motivated, she was very happy for her and said sincerely:
"Mo Ya, I believe that you will become an exceptionally good artist in the future."
Mo Ya was a little surprised and embarrassed to hear the word "artist". She said honestly:
"Qingying, I don't have such lofty ambitions. I just want to work hard in training and live up to your help to me."
When the two were about to separate, Mo Ya couldn't help but asked Xia Qingying:
"Oh, by the way, Qingling, did Captain Su also go on this mission?"
"Yes, he went with Lu Jingqie." Xia Qingling answered, and then comforted:
"Don't worry, there won't be any danger. They often went on missions before."
This sentence comforted Mo Ya and also comforted herself.

After the selection results came out, Huo Xiaoling couldn't hide her disappointment, but soon put away her emotions and happily congratulated Yunxiang.
The two went to the cafeteria to eat together, and Huo Xiaoling told her that he was going to call home and would not go back to the dormitory with her. Yunxiang didn't care and went back first.
After Huo Xiaoling finished the call, she returned to the dormitory and lay down under the quilt and started crying. Yunxiang saw her crying, took the quilt away from her head and asked her what was going on.
"Sister Yunxiang..." Huo Xiaoling cried with tears and snot, and looked extremely ferocious. She hugged Yunxiang and said,
"I just called home, and my brother told me that the bully in the village wanted to occupy my family's longan tree and beat my mother. My mother raised my brother and me, and she was already sick. Those people bullied her, oh..."
Yunxiang stroked her back, soothing her and comforting her,
"Okay, don't cry, you can't go back now, and there's no point in worrying. Don't worry, you still have a brother at home, he can take good care of your mother."
Huo Xiaoling was not comforted, and cried even louder, saying sadly,
"It's all my fault. If I had worked harder, everything would have been fine. Sister Yunxiang, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to be filial to my mother before she dies... Oooooo..."
Yunxiang didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, so she could only pat her back gently.
At this time, Huo Xiaoling suddenly stood up, and before Yunxiang could react, she knelt down and said to Yunxiang:
"Sister Yunxiang, can you give me the place of the official piano student?"
