"Oh, it's all the same!" Wang Jia suddenly waved his hand and pulled Su Yun into the office, "Zhou Xinheng, a classmate, this is my neighbor's sister, you help me take care of her when the time comes."

The boy named Zhou Xinheng looked increasingly unhappy.

Wang Jiaju is two years older than Su Yun and Wang Jiaxiang, so he and Zhou Xinheng are both in Grade 5 and are about to enter Grade 6. However, although they are classmates, the relationship between the top students who are dedicated to study and the lazy students who are not interested in studying is not good.

"Jiaju, I heard from Miss Lin that you were 'fat' again in the last English test." Wang Jiaju was also a former student of Zheng Guoguang, so he looked towards the door with a smile.

The so-called "Fatty" is a phonetic translation of the English word "failure", which means that Wang Jiaju failed the last English test.

"I will lose weight next time!" Wang Jia hurriedly responded, and then pulled Su Yun over, "Sir Zheng, let's deal with her problem first - Su Su wants to sign up for the competition."

"Are you sure you can do it? Are you still feeling unwell?" Zheng Guoguang, the class teacher, knew that Su Yun had been on sick leave for a long time, so he looked at Su Yun and asked about her physical condition with great concern.

While he was looking at Su Yun, Su Yun was also looking at him: he looked to be in his thirties, slightly plump, with short side-parted hair and wearing glasses, and looked very amiable.

In addition, Zheng Guoguang would joke with Wang Jiaju before, and the Wang brothers, who were not very fond of studying, liked him very much through their body language expression, so he should be a kind and interesting teacher.

"Yes, Sir Zheng, I'm almost well now, so I want to take part in this competition and bring honor to our school!" Su Yun immediately stood up straight and said with a serious face that sounded bitter and resentful.

The female students next to her smiled slightly at Su Yun's behavior, but Zhou Xinheng, the male student who had spoken originally, looked better because of Su Yun's attitude of respect.

"Hello, my name is Li Jiefen." The female student kindly exchanged names with Su Yun.

"But isn't she too young? I see that most other schools use students in fifth and sixth grade..." Zhou Xinheng glanced at Su Yun, who was half a head shorter than Li Jiefen, and said.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Guoguang rubbed his forehead in distress: He certainly knew that being older would be an advantage in this competition, but the requirements for the competition were really high. With so few students in their school, it was already quite good to be able to find three students who were good at music.

As for science and technology, he had no intention of counting on the two female students. They would be competing separately anyway. As long as Zhou Xinheng performed well, someone from their school would be able to advance to the semi-finals, which would be an explanation to the principal.

Anyway, the principal was also trying his best to save the situation. He deliberately said that the whole school should participate and select one person from each grade. This was because there were too many famous schools participating in the competition, and he was afraid that if he selected students of the same level, they would lose too badly and be too embarrassed. So he simply chose two younger ones to be cannon fodder.

Since you are young, it is normal for you to lose to the older ones.

However, although the students in the fourth and fifth grades were prepared to be cannon fodder, they were not the ones who were chosen randomly. In their respective grades, Lai Kit-fen was ranked second and Su Yun was ranked first.

Maybe when answering the Chinese questions, you can get enough points by chance and advance one more person.

"Xinheng, if you really don't want Su Yun to participate, your classmate Cui Tianguang is the only one in the school who can play a musical instrument, but his grades..." Zheng Guoguang spoke slowly.

Before Zheng Guoguang finished speaking, Zhou Xinheng's face had already turned green: He knew Cui Tianguang - this guy's academic performance was always the last, so much so that after this summer vacation, his classmate would be retained a grade and become his junior; the reason why he knew how to play musical instruments was that his family was a paper-making shop, so when the adults at home were too busy, he would often help to play the suona at funerals in exchange for pocket money...

People were poor these days, and being able to earn pocket money on one's own was considered quite remarkable among kids. Moreover, Cui Tianguang was always proud of the fact that he could earn pocket money by playing the role of a suona, so he was a "celebrity" in the school.

Lai Kit-fan knew how to play musical instruments because her family sold musical instruments in Ap Liu Street, so she learned to play the erhu from her parents who loved to sing Cantonese opera. Otherwise, she would not have been asked to fill in the gaps.

However, he already has an erhu by his side, and if he adds a suona... with the erhu on the left and the suona on the right, will he, a harmonica player, have any chance of survival?

"Then let's go to classmate Su Yun. What musical instrument can you play?" Hurt by the association in his mind, Zhou Xinheng gritted his teeth and looked at Wang Jiaju and Su Yun with a much softer gaze: with the noisy suona as the base, Wang Jiaju's loud and shouting voice sounded so gentle and pleasant.

"I can play the guitar." Su Yun actually joined a guitar club when he was in college, but later he became a corporate slave and gave up this little hobby.

"When did you learn to play guitar?" Wang Jia suddenly pulled Su Yun and asked in a low voice.

"You used to play that old guitar on the stairs often, and after listening to it many times and reading some old books on the subject, I think I can learn a little bit too." Su Yun answered in a low voice.

"Is this possible?!" Wang Jiaju was speechless.

"When we get back, teach me for a while and lend me your guitar to practice. Then go for it." After Su Yun finished whispering to him, she turned around and looked at Zheng Guoguang with a sweet smile.

"Then let's decide it. The three of us participating in the competition don't have to prepare for the final exam. I will go home tonight and organize the materials from the previous quiz competitions, and you two will each get a copy." Now that Zhou Xinheng has confirmed his teammates, he naturally won't be stingy with this little information.

"Isn't this the first time this competition is held? Where did you get the answer materials?" Su Yun asked Li Jiefen beside her in a low voice.

Lai Kit-Fun explained: "Zhou Xinheng used to represent the school in knowledge competitions. The questions are similar, the most they cover is a little wider, there is no harm in seeing it."

"By the way, my family runs a second-hand music store over at Yaliao Street. Do you have your own guitar? If not, I can ask my father to lend you one when the time comes for the competition." Lai Kit-fen's attitude made it clear that she was committed to participating, so compared to Zhou Xinheng's tense mental state, it was much easier and more casual to talk to her.

"Then I'll come find you then." Su Yun thanked Li Jiefen, and then returned to Camellia Building with the Wang brothers.

Taking advantage of the free time when Mrs. Huang was cooking, Su Yun borrowed Wang Jiaju's old guitar and went to the staircase to practice.

A passerby saw that the person practicing guitar today was Su Yun instead of Wang Jiaju, and was a little surprised: "Why is it your turn here today?"

"I signed up for a knowledge competition that includes a music event," Su Yun replied.

"Oh, then you should do your best!" The neighbor encouraged her, and then couldn't help but mutter, "The smart girl is really a smart girl, she plays much better than Jiaju..."

"It's just for fun, it won't bother anyone. In our place, Ajie and his brothers used to play guitar at the stairwell to flirt with girls..."

"Are you talking about Ajie who worked with his elder brother on the show "Happy Tonight"? Oh, these brothers are really promising. They were able to make a lot of money by appearing on TV, and moved out of the housing estate and bought a big house to live in..."

"Why are you so jealous? Pay more attention to the stock. If it goes up a bit, you can move out and live in a Western-style house and raise a foreign dog..."

"Haha, that's true..."

Watching the neighbors walking away with the radio in their hands, chatting and laughing, Su Yun continued to play the guitar: Wang Jiaju picked it up from a pile of junk left by a neighbor who had moved away. He originally wanted to sell it to a friend to earn some pocket money, but no one else wanted it because it was too tattered. In the end, he fell in love with it after playing it himself.

However, without the guidance of a teacher and relying entirely on his own learning, Wang Jiaju's guitar playing level is indeed a bit terrible at the moment. No wonder Wang's family members think his playing is bad and rush him to the stairs as soon as they see him pick up the guitar.

"Wow, you play the piano really well. It seems you have learned some skills from me." Speak of the devil, and he appeared. Wang Jiaju and Wang Jiaxiang, two naughty kids, happily came out holding a big mullet.

“Jia Ju Jia Xiang! Bring the fish back, we’re going to make fish soup tonight!” The eldest sister of the Wang family chased out.

Frightened by their eldest sister, the Wang brothers were so shocked that they let go immediately.

Su Yun stared in amazement as the fish drew an elegant parabola in the air.

“Go pick it up quickly!” Seeing the fish fall downstairs, the eldest sister of the Wang family suddenly became anxious.

Su Yun quickly put down her guitar and quickly followed the Wang brothers downstairs: This mudskipper was specially bought by Mrs. Huang to make soup for Grandma Su to supplement her nutrition!

Su Yun quickly ran downstairs and looked around. She immediately saw that the two Wang brothers had grabbed the owner of a roadside fish ball stall.

"We accidentally dropped this fish. Please give it back to us." Seeing that the cart stall owner was holding a mullet in his hand, Wang Jia quickly reached out to ask for it.

Perhaps because it seemed that the people asking for fish were just three children, the cart stall owner had other ideas and held the mullet that fell into the cart tightly and refused to let go: "What's yours? As the saying goes, you can't get it even if you ask the heavens and the earth for help..."

That shameless look made it seem as if he had no intention of returning the fish to them.

"You guys watch him here, I'll be down in a minute!" Wang Jia suddenly became extremely angry. He told Su Yun and the other man to keep the cart stall owner from running away with the fish, then he turned around and ran to his home on the third floor and got a screwdriver.

"If you say so, I will remove the wheels of this car right now!" Wang Jiaju stared at the owner of the cart stand in a very social way and gestured with a screwdriver: "Then I picked up the wheels from the ground, and it was like picking up a treasure from the ground..."

He didn't say anything more about the rest of the story, but his attitude was clear: if the cart stall owner refused to return the fish, he would remove one of the owner's wheels to show that everyone should "give and take".
