After another half month, the performance troupe, who had been in New York for a while, finally set off and returned to China.

Thinking of picking a batch of quality-assured musical instruments for the girls at home... Well, mainly because Halloween is approaching, and when it's time to prepare gifts for the girls at home, I feel that this time is just in time , you can do things one by one. Therefore, Shi Xiaolei also took the same charter plane and flew to China with the performance group.

Compared with sending it back directly, it is indeed more troublesome and laborious to fly around in the sky for more than ten hours.

However, I thought that my trip back to China was to purchase musical instruments, and I was more or less involved in culture. As a Chinese, it is best to be open and maintain a certain sense of ritual when dealing with this kind of thing, so, After some consideration, Shi Xiaolei finally decided not to take shortcuts.

The flight was chartered by the performance troupe, and of course it had to cooperate with the performance troupe's arrangements... Because there were a lot of people in the performance team, there wasn't much space left on the plane, so Shi Xiaolei didn't bring a large number of companions on this trip back to China. The only people who boarded the plane with him and returned to China were 2B and Yixian.

Not to mention the dozen or so hours of flying in the sky. In short, the journey was smooth, and there was no turbulent flow, nor the accident of 'heavy rain, which made it impossible to land'.

When the plane landed at the new airport on the outskirts of Beijing, Shi Xiaolei and the three of them said goodbye to their fellow teachers and watched them get on the special car that came to pick up the plane.

"We should go too."

"Yeah." Knowing Shi Xiaolei's height, sitting in a taxi is a bit boring, 2B raised his hand as a matter of course, and pointed to the direction of the airport car rental agency: "I just noticed that the car rental agency is over there."

"It's still as thoughtful as you think." After being stunned, Shi Xiaolei laughed: "I originally said to take the subway to the city first, and then consider renting a car after finding a hotel. Thinking about it now, it's still at the airport. It’s more convenient to rent a car. Hehe, just return it when you leave, you don’t have to worry about whether it will be troublesome for people to come and pick up the car.”

"Commander, you think too much." Yixian laughed: "Actually, it's the same wherever you rent it. You forgot, the Charity Fund has an office in the capital. The matter of returning the car can make the work in the office work. staff to help."

"That's right." Scratching his head, Shi Xiaolei stepped forward: "But since Sylvia has a good suggestion that doesn't bother others, let's listen to her."

"Yeah." Nodding, Yixian moved her steps slightly, following Shi Xiaolei's footsteps.

A group of three people came to the rental car shop, and it didn't take much time to choose a big G with a very spacious interior.

2B is in charge of driving.

It's not that Shi Xiaolei does not have a driver's license that can be used in China, and 2B must take on this task. But because 2B is connected with satellite navigation signals, it not only has a clearer route than Shi Xiaolei, but also has a full understanding of real-time road condition information. She is responsible for driving, which can ensure that you do not take the wrong road, and can avoid the road section where the accident occurred, and reach the destination faster.

Where is the destination...

It's not the Beijing meal spot that I stayed at when I came back to China last time, nor is it a high-end hotel in other high-rise buildings. Before departure, Shi Xiaolei deliberately selected a lot on the Internet, and finally chose a courtyard located in Wenchang Hutong near ZY Conservatory of Music.

After some renovation, this courtyard has become a very high-end inn. The quaint buildings and the elegantly decorated courtyards also reveal a unique charm of the capital city. To be honest, Shi Xiaolei had a strong impression of the picture at first sight.

However, the final choice to settle here is not just because it is elegant enough, and the style matches Shi Xiaolei's preference.

Mainly because it is located near the ZY Conservatory of Music. From this yard, there are many shops specializing in musical instruments. If you live here, you can browse various stores in a more time-saving and labor-saving way, and collect all kinds of musical instruments that you want to purchase when you return to China.

"We're here." After driving for more than an hour, he finally got off the road and turned into an alley. 2B slowed down and reminded Shi Xiaolei and Yixian.

"Arrived?" Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei, who was sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

Looking out the window subconsciously, at a glance, I saw three musical instrument stores connected by the roadside: "Hehe, it's exactly what I thought. There are many musical instrument stores nearby."

"Yeah." Yi Xian smiled and said, "I saw several on the way here just now."

Just as he was talking, he saw a group of people gathered in front of a yard on the right.

Some were holding a small gong, some were holding a Jinghu, and some were holding a small three-stringed string. In front of a few people are still two people who are posing... Although they are not wearing any clothes, but looking at this posture, you can see that this is obviously a group of fans who are entertaining themselves.

The window was lowered, and the melodious sound of opera came into my ears.

Feeling a sense of leisure and self-compassion, Shi Xiaolei involuntarily followed and started playing the board, shaking his head and humming away.

The sound gradually faded away, replaced by the screams full of fireworks in the alley. There were people who shouted at the barbecue stall to attract customers, and there were reprimands from children who didn't want to go home for dinner, and even a few dogs could be heard barking. Don't think, it must be an old man and an old lady walking the dog.

Compared with Chinatown, the Zihuaguo in Hutong is more authentic. Feeling these movements, Shi Xiaolei's face involuntarily showed a sly smile.

The car stopped.

What appeared in front of him was a high-walled compound.

After getting out of the car, I rang the doorbell, and after a while, a beautiful-looking young lady came out.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Shi Xiaolei?" Without Shi Xiaolei speaking, the other party greeted him with a smile: "Welcome to the three of you, please come with me."

"Uh..." I wanted to ask, "I didn't answer, how did you judge it?", but remembering that his height is a bit special, his appearance is more ferocious than ordinary people, and he belongs to the type that is easy to identify, Shi Xiaolei swallowed again In the stomach: "Oh."

Stepping into the courtyard gate, before walking forward, another young lady spoke again: "Excuse me, is that car coming from three people outside?"

"Yes." Subconsciously stopped, Shi Xiaolei asked casually, "What's wrong, is there any problem?"

"No, what I want to say is that if you don't mind, you can park the car inside." I didn't know where to find something that looked like a remote control and pressed it lightly. With this move of the young lady, the garage door on the side of the yard slowly rose, revealing a small garage that can park three cars.

"Wait a moment, I'll go and pull the car in."
