She Is Not a Witch Chapter 132: The first overture
On a quiet afternoon, the sun shines in through the round windows in the attic, and occasionally dust flutters in the air.
The soft and soothing piano sound rang in the attic. The sound was not loud, just as it could be heard in the room.
A young girl sits in front of the piano, her slender fingers pulsating flexibly on the keys. The simple melody keeps revolving, it starts to be a little strange, then slowly becomes round, and finally immersed in it, playing it repeatedly, releasing the faint joy and tranquility in my heart.
After a long time, the beating fingers slowly stopped. As the last note was pressed, the end of the strings slowly echoed in the room and slowly disappeared.
"Very good, Lacey." There was brisk applause, and a girl with short blond shoulder-length hair stood up from the sofa, walked to the piano, and looked down at the score in front of the silver-haired girl.
"Did you write this? Lacey."
"No, I found it from an ancient book." The girl shook her head.
"It sounds good, even I feel very, very good." Lan Lier made a big gesture to describe her feelings.
"Do you have a name?"
Mrs. Filia also sat on the sofa, looking at the girl who played the keys.
"Well, yes, the name is Prelude, which means prelude." The silver-haired girl replied.
"Very good name, like the dancing butterflies in the shade of summer trees, it reminds me of the scene when I was a child."
"How was Teacher Felia when she was a child? Did she have a talent for music since she was a child?" Lan Li ran over and asked curiously.
"No, I often fight with boys at that time, and I didn't like singing at all. He Lang was beaten and cryed by me when he was a child, but it was too embarrassing to talk about it, he kept admonishing me not to talk nonsense, chuckle~ "Mrs. Felia couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, but it was a pity that Master Helang had already left Hopelander that night, and most of the members with the Bailan Cross Sword joined Frost Rose.
"How did the teacher become a singer later?" Ling Xin was also a little curious on the side.
"Because it looks so good." Mrs. Felia recalled it before continuing.
"When I was young, my family was not very wealthy. I was envious of seeing the singer in the gorgeous dress on the stage. It happened to be that Fenghua Opera Company was performing in Hopelander. I secretly ran over and asked the staff member. , Can I be a singer."
"The bearded uncle smiled and asked me to sing a few words, and I sang it. He praised me that I sang well, but it was not enough. So he gave me a booklet for me to practice. Will come again."
"Later, the teacher practiced every day, and then shocked the uncle?" Lan Lier asked guessingly.
"No, there is no such hard work. I looked at the boring practice method in the manual, tried to learn it for a long time and then gave up."
"Huh? I thought the teacher was very diligent when he was a child."
"I was very hardworking, but that was later, and I was a little lazy at the beginning."
"How did it change later?" Lingxin was concerned about this.
"Later, the church formed a choir, and the singing girl could get 10 silver coins, which was a huge sum of money for me at that time."
"So I picked it up and practiced again. In the choir, the pastor often praised me. Later, I became more motivated to learn. Slowly practicing singing every day became a habit, until I joined Fenghua Opera Company and gained a greater 'S reputation."
"Um...I thought the teacher was soaring through the sky purely on talent." Lan Lier muttered a little disappointed.
"How can there be such a good thing, Lan Li. If you don't work hard now, you may be overtaken by your classmates, and you will repeat the grade."
Mrs. Filia beats Langley, who is trying to make excuses for laziness.
"I know~ I'm in the top 50, so I won't be embarrassed to repeat the grade. Don't underestimate me, Teacher Felia."
"Yes, yes, if you are as good as Lingxin."
"Wow, teacher, you actually praised others in front of me. This is a taboo against students. I want to tell the dean."
"Go ahead, it's a holiday, let the dean ignore you."
At this moment, Mrs. Felia walked up to Lorrain Hill, looked at the sheet of music and asked.
"Are you going to sing this song at the festival, Lacey?"
"No, this piece is more suitable for playing alone when there are few people. If I sing at the festival, I would like to be more lively and upward."
"Okay, I believe you will be able to produce your favorite works."
"Well, I will." Lorrain Hill nodded, a vague eyebrow in his heart. The most important purpose of music is to convey emotions, to convey the emotions, beliefs and thoughts from the heart. Only when you move yourself can you move others.
And what does she want to talk about most, past and present, over the years, what does she want to convey to others?
This question has been in her mind in recent days. Although it was a little fuzzy at first, it has slowly become clear these days.
"It's getting late, Lacey, Lingxin, we are going to leave."
Lan Lier looked at the sun outside the window and said to Mrs. Felia.
"Then let's go first today, Teacher Felia~"
"Okay, be careful on the way, and don't scare those kids."
"I won't, why the teacher always doesn't trust me." Lan Li pouted ~IndoMTL.com~ a little unhappy.
"Teacher, let's go first." Lorrain Hill and Ling Xin also said hello before leaving.
On the street in the afternoon, three young girls were sitting on a carriage. Inside the carriage were a few insulated boxes containing freshly baked bread and snacks. The destination of the carriage was the new city of Hopeland. The kindergarten opened.
The kindergarten will raise children who have lost their parents or a few poor families. This is a new policy of the alliance. The funds are provided by the alliance and also proposed by Lorrain Hill.
In addition to nursery schools, there are also schools. The schools in Verga used to be very expensive and they were all privately run. Most of them only taught arithmetic, writing, and some laws and regulations. However, the newly established schools are different. The association will bear most of the expenses and the subjects taught are also very complete, not only mathematics, language, philosophy, law, commerce, but also organize student training so that they have a good discipline and foundation. Military literacy.
Lorraine Hill has always believed that education can truly change a person and even a nation or country and make it move in a better direction.
"Here." Lan Lier looked at the door outside the carriage window, then pushed the car door, and walked down with the box.
Lorraine Hill and Ling Xin both carried the box and walked down. Mrs. Filia told them not to use extraordinary powers. It will scare the children and cause some bad things.
"Come one by one, don't grab it~"
Lan Lier was surrounded by the children, and Ling Xin was going to help, handing out the soft bread.
Lorraine Hill sat on a wooden chair under the shade of the tree, watching the group of children chattering and chasing, all the past came to mind, and slowly recalled his childhood dreams.
So naive and pure.
