Chapter 14 Gift Teacher, hello, please give me more advice in the future
The little person looked up at her, his eyes full of determination and longing for the piano. This scene gave Liang Qinglan an impact she would never forget.
Ming Siyuan and You Shiliu did not step forward to disturb the communication between Ming Yi and Liang Qinglan, but just stayed quietly by the side.
Qiao Mengan's clenched palms had become damp. She could see the teacher's excitement, so she mustered up the courage to say, "Don't you say you don't accept friends under the age of five?" This was what she said when her parents first brought her to see Liang Qinglan when she was four years old.
After she finished speaking, she felt the eyes of the people around her falling on her. She straightened her waist and tried hard to ignore their penetrating gazes. She knew she shouldn't think like this, but she just hoped that the teacher would continue to refuse, so that she would still be known as Liang Qinglan's last disciple and the only sister of her senior brothers.
Yes, Qiao Mengan was in a panic, afraid that Mingyi's arrival would take away all the glory from her. She was afraid and couldn't help but despise herself. How could she be so despicable? How could she do such a thing just because she was afraid that Mingyi's arrival would surpass her?
Liang Qinglan leaned over and looked Mingyi in the eye, her tone serious: "Being my student is very hard, can you persist?"
"Isn't playing the piano a happy and wonderful thing?" Mingyi tilted her head to look at her, her little face full of confusion, as if she didn't understand where the difficult conclusion she mentioned came from.
Liang Qinglan smiled happily. At the end, she reached out and touched Mingyi's head, saying gently, "You're right. Playing the piano is indeed a happy and wonderful thing."
"Then teacher, are you willing to accept me?" Mingyi blinked, stubbornly demanding a clear answer.
"Yes, I'm willing to accept you." Liang Qinglan thought, such talent shouldn't be wasted. How could she give up such a genius for a jerk like Xu Heng? Thinking of this, the smile on her face became even brighter.
"Hello, teacher. I'm Mingyi. Please give me your guidance!" Mingyi said respectfully, extending her left hand towards her seriously. Ming Siyuan and You Shiliu, standing nearby, smiled. This was Mingyi's own effort to get a teacher, and they were proud of her.
Liang Qinglan has lived abroad for a long time. Before this concert, she had the idea of returning to China to settle down, but she had never decided on a specific city. At this moment, she suddenly had an answer, which was Yuncheng, which she had always excluded.
Yuncheng is one of the best international cities in China. It is connected with the world and has a pleasant environment. It is one of the most suitable cities for settlement in China. She should not give up this option for Xu Heng. After all, it was not her who did anything wrong.
"Then teacher, will you live with me in the future?" Ming Yi continued to raise her cute head and look at Liang Qinglan. Ming Siyuan quickly said that the Ming family could provide her with accommodation.
Liang Qinglan shook her head and refused: "Before buying the property, I will stay in a hotel for the time being."
This sentence shocked everyone in the lounge. She was planning to buy a property in Yuncheng, the place she had always regarded as a "taboo".
"Teacher!" Qiao Mengan couldn't help but speak. She was actually willing to go to Yuncheng. For a moment, she looked at Mingyi with an unprecedented complexity in her eyes. She thought that her senior brothers would also be surprised when they knew it.
"What's wrong? Didn't you want to go to Yuncheng before? Now you don't want to go anymore?" Liang Qinglan raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiao Mengan. Although they had never mentioned it in front of her, she knew that they did not reject Yuncheng and even yearned for it.
"No, I'm just worried about you," Qiao Mengan didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone present knew it. After the divorce that year, Liang Qinglan told others that she had been in seclusion for a year, but in fact she was depressed for almost half a year before she recovered. Yuncheng was a completely sad place for her.
"Don't worry, I was narrow-minded before." She suddenly thought of her ambition when she first touched the piano keys from Mingyi's slightly messy techniques and clear eyes. Yes, the piano is her life. She almost gave up the piano for that marriage. This was a mistake. Even though she corrected the mistake, she still used this mistake to limit herself. This was not worth it.
"Sister, don't worry about the teacher, I will accompany her." Mingyi looked at Qiao Mengan, her tone full of sincerity. She was obviously just a child who was just as tall as her waist, but her words were inexplicably convincing.
"I hope you can do what you say." Qiao Mengan thought that she was probably a selfish person. She couldn't like her when she thought that she might steal the attention of her teachers and seniors.
"Of course, let's make a pinky promise." Mingyi said as she took her hand. Her hand was small and soft, making Qiao Mengan feel the long-lost kindness.
"Childish." Qiao Mengan's tone was filled with disgust, but she didn't shake off her hand. She told herself that she was respecting the elderly and loving the young, but she still hated her.
This concert trip had a satisfactory result, and the whole family was very happy on the way back. You Shiliu handed Mingyi a booklet, and seeing the surprise in her eyes, You Shiliu explained in a gentle voice: "Choose your own piano!"
"Thank you, Mom." Mingyi said and began to carefully open the book in front of her.
Ming Siyuan was sitting at the outermost edge, working on his laptop. He had flown here for the concert, and he had to finish the day's work in time. Although there was a lot of work piled up, it was worth it as Ming Yi had successfully become Liang Qinglan's disciple.
Back at the old house, the little trumpets, who hadn't seen each other for a day, enthusiastically expressed their longing for their sister, while Ming Yuxuan stood beside her and looked at her with a smile on his face.
"Sister, is Nancheng fun?" Mingli asked.
"Sister, where else do you want to go? We will go with you during the summer vacation." Mingxian also wanted to travel.
"Sister, did you have fun this time?" Ming Yan asked with concern.
"This is a gift for you." Mingyi disliked but also doted on He Kejia. The gift was just something she bought when she saw He Kejia buying a piano refrigerator magnet at the concert entrance.
"Wow, do we have any gifts to receive? My sister is so thoughtful!" Mingli's tone was full of surprise.
"My sister knows how to give gifts now." Mingxian expressed surprise.
"The gift is very beautiful. My sister loves piano so much." Ming Yan said this before he remembered that he had piano lessons today.
Ming Yuxuan held the refrigerator magnet in his hand. He knew that they were going to listen to Liang Qinglan's concert this time. He saw He Kejia searching for information about Liang Qinglan on the computer. He lowered his eyes and roughly knew the purpose of their trip. Judging from their current expressions, he thought they had succeeded.
"Sister, is that the one you're going to give to someone else?" Mingli noticed there were two more in her small bag. If she kept one for herself, who was she going to give the other one to? Suddenly, alarm bells rang in Mingli's heart. Who was it? Who held the same status in Mingyi's heart as them? He had to know.
"This is for Lu Xiujin and Ji Shuxuan." Mingyi was fair, everyone got one, but the three little trumpets obviously didn't think so. Mingxian frowned: "Why do they have one too?"
"Because they are my friends." Mingyi blurted out without thinking.
Yes, Mingyi, who has been in kindergarten for a year, feels that these are the only two friends she has now, and she remembers that Lu Xiujin will soon go to elementary school with Mingli.
"Okay." Although the little trumpets were unhappy, they couldn't restrict their sister from making friends. They looked at the refrigerator magnets in their hands again and suddenly felt that they were not so fragrant.
Mingyi didn't bother to pay attention to their emotions. She was already looking forward to her new piano.

Qiao Meng'an was from Zhou City and didn't know much about Yuncheng, except that it was Liang Qinglan's taboo. She knew even less about the Ming family. After the concert, she returned home and tentatively asked the three of them in their small group: "We're going to have a little junior sister soon."
Huo Jiamu: Teacher, are you accepting students again?
Yuan Heyu: When did it happen?
Huo Jiamu and Yuan Heyu are 22 and 21 years old, respectively. One is currently in the entertainment industry, the other in a band. While the teacher wasn't happy with the path chosen by the eldest brother, Huo Jiamu, he was always eloquent and managed to calm the teacher's anger. The second brother, who works in a well-known band, had previously complained to her that someone in the band wanted to contact the teacher and ask her to take him as a student. But now, it seems they're not at all opposed to this younger sister. Qiao Mengan paused, holding her phone, before continuing to send a message with more information: It's a real younger sister, she's only four years old.
Huo Jiamu: You must be very talented, for the teacher to make an exception for you.
Yuan Heyu: It seems we need to prepare a gift for our junior sister.
Huo Jiamu: What do little girls like these days? Dolls or little skirts?
Yuan Heyu: Everything shiny, right?
Seeing that they actually started discussing directly, Qiao Mengan felt that there was no way to continue the conversation that day. They didn’t understand what he wanted to express at all, so he just dropped a bombshell: By the way, the junior sister is from Yun City, and the teacher plans to settle down in Yun City.
After this message was sent out, there was no movement for a full minute. Qiao Mengan curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction. They should now feel the same sense of crisis as he did.
Huo Jiamu: Oh my god, who is this little junior sister? I bow down to her. Doesn’t that mean I can make an appointment with the teacher in Yuncheng in the future?
As a popular idol, Huo Jiamu currently lives in Yuncheng, but because of Liang Qinglan's taboo, he never dares to mention anything related to Yuncheng. Now that Liang Qinglan is willing to come to Yuncheng, it is great news for him.
Yuan Heyu: The junior sister can help the teacher solve his problem. It seems that the gift cannot be too cheap.
Qiao Mengan couldn't stand it any longer and threw down her phone and quit the group chat directly. Forget it, she would be more generous and not bother with them. Unfortunately, Huo Jiamu was a straight man and still tagged her in the group.
Huo Jiamu: Meng'an, quickly add Junior Sister to the group, let's communicate with her.
Yuan Heyu: But my little sister is only four years old. Does she know how to use social media? How about we just use video conferencing?
