I started a senior citizen university after being unemployed, and I became the favorite of my uncles

Chapter 208: Going out early and coming back late secretly practicing chorus

Uncle Shi’s son Xiaoshi discovered that Uncle Shi had been going out early and coming back late these days.

I left home before seven in the morning.

And he doesn't send his grandson Lele to school.

In the past, the grandparents and grandchildren each carried a schoolbag. Grandpa Shi carried Lele on his shoulders and sent him to the kindergarten, and then he turned a corner to go to the senior citizens' university.

The same thing happened after school. Uncle Shi would go to pick up Lele by himself. The two of them would hide outside to eat at KFC, and then come back together to be scolded by Aunt Shi.

However, starting from last week, Xiao Shi had to pick Lele up after get off work, and Uncle Shi didn't come back until dark.

Lele, who hadn't eaten KFC for four days, hugged the legs of Uncle Shi who had just returned home and said aggrievedly: "Grandpa, why did you come back so late?"

Uncle Shi ignored Lele and walked straight to the kitchen, guzzling a glass of water.

Lele ran in holding his little car, "Grandpa, you don't listen to your teacher at school and don't drink boiled water?"

Uncle Shi didn't reply. He drank another cup, and then he seemed to have quenched his thirst. He let out a long sigh and picked up Lele: "My dear grandson, Grandpa is very tired today. Go and play by yourself."

After saying that, he put Lele down, took the TV remote control, turned back to the room and closed the door.

Lele's tears instantly welled up in his eyes. He didn't understand why his grandfather, who had always doted on him, suddenly ignored him, and his grandfather's voice was also strange.

He remembered what Huahua, the kindergarten teacher, had said: "When people are sick, they become less talkative and more depressed."

"Is Grandpa sick?" Lele jumped off the sofa, crawled under the coffee table and dragged out the medicine box.

Looking at the colorful medicine box, Lele was puzzled again: "Which medicine should I give grandpa?"

He only knew that he had a cold, and his mother gave him a small sunflower.

The three-year-old child's emotions change directly. When he thought of Grandpa Shi being "sick", he became sad and burst into tears.

It startled Xiaoshi who was going to the toilet, Lele's mother who was applying a facial mask, and Aunt Shi who was watering the flowers on the balcony.

Uncle Shi, who had just squinted, opened the door and saw a group of people gathered around him with a confused look on his face: "Le Le, why are you crying?"

After hearing the whole story, the other three adults looked at Mr. Shi with resentment: "You're still asking? It's all your fault."

Lele was held in Aunt Shi's arms, and together with Xiao Shi and his wife, they attended the trial of Uncle Shi.

"Are you sick?" Aunt Shi spoke first.

"I'm not sick." Uncle Shi looked puzzled.

"Your grandpa is not sick." Xiaoshi and his wife repeated to Lele at the same time.

Lele rubbed his red eyes and asked in a baby voice, "Why does grandpa drink so much water?"

"Why is your voice hoarse?"

"Why are you back so late?"

Uncle Shi found it amusing to see Lele, who was as small as a firecracker. Under Aunt Shi's gaze, he answered honestly, "I drank water because I was thirsty, my voice became hoarse because I was practicing singing, and I came back late because I had to rehearse."

"I want to solemnly announce a good news. Our Sijiqing Choir will represent the Senior University in the competition."

Uncle Shi has been leaving home early and coming back late recently because he is making the most of his time to rehearse at school.

"This is a good thing, why don't you say it?" Xiaoshi asked in confusion.

Grandpa Shi seemed to have lost contact these past few days. He didn't answer the phone and didn't reply to messages. If Lele hadn't howled, they wouldn't have known that Grandpa Shi was back.

Uncle Shi chuckled and said, "There will be spectator seats during the official competition. I am going to give you a surprise then."

It's a surprise to say it so early. Participating in a choir competition is a big deal. The whole family is busy, and it's as big as when Lele participates in the June 1st performance.

……

Rehearsals at the school are also going on in full swing.

This chorus was attended by students from four classes of pop music and folk music courses. It was a real chorus of a hundred people.

Because there are so many people, they had previously trained individually in classes. Today was the first time they sang together.

The songs they sang were "Singing the Motherland" and "Let's Row the Boat Together".

The first thing that began was the "conductor" battle led by two teachers.

As senior and junior students in the same school, Lu Dazhi, who teaches folk music, and Mr. Tian, who teaches popular music, dislike each other and are both determined to get the position of conductor.

"I'll be the commander, you can't."

"You can't do that. I'll do it."

"Neither of us is willing to give in, let's have a competition."

"Let's compete, what should we sing?"

"Opera 2, dare you?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Lu Dazhi gritted his teeth and continued singing, but Teacher Tian was not willing to be outdone, and the two of them sang high notes in unison.

Lin Qinglan was attacked by sound waves as soon as she entered the door.

It was the choir's first group rehearsal, so of course she came to watch. Before it started, she mediated the conflict between the two teachers: "Aren't there two songs in total? Can't you each sing one?"

The two turned around at the same time, "No, if both of you conduct, who will play the piano accompaniment?"

"Have you forgotten that there is a piano class in school?" Lin Qinglan interrupted.

The two vocal teachers looked at each other and forgot about their quarrel.

After Lin Qinglan's call, the piano teacher rushed to the scene in a tuxedo and sat down elegantly in front of the piano.

The operation went smoothly.

"Teacher Yuan's solo concert just ended today." Lin Qinglan explained.

After some bumps and bruises, the two teachers coordinated their work. Lu Dazhi was responsible for conducting "Singing the Motherland" and Teacher Tian was responsible for "Let's Row the Boat Together".

Lu Dazhi encouraged the uncles and aunts: "Everyone must take photos with vigor and show the elegance of our Sijiqing Choir."

The uncle and aunt agreed loudly, but all kinds of problems occurred after they opened their mouths.

The advantage of having more people is that the voices are louder, but the disadvantage is that there are too many protagonists and you don’t know which one to look at.

None of Uncle Shi, Uncle Zhou and others in the back row of the "holding back laughter group" could hold back their laughter.

Especially after Uncle Shi laughed out loud, he looked at Uncle Zhou next door. Uncle Zhou held his breath so hard that his face turned red and his neck became thick, like a tomato, and his facial features were twisted with laughter.

Their smiles led a group of people.

Uncle Jia, the man with flowery arms, was standing in the row in front of them. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Luckily I broke up today, or I would have been made to laugh by you guys."

Uncle Shi and Uncle Zhou looked at him in unison, with a look of dismay on their faces.
