Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 266 261. Long time no see, the piano room of the examination room
There is a kind of relief of reunion in the words.

A figure popped out from the depths of Li An's memory.

How can I meet her here.

Li An quickly adjusted his expression and turned around. A young girl's smiling face came into his sight three meters away.

Luo Yitian.

In Wang Panpan's mouth, the pipa junior sister who shed tears for the scumbag Li An for two months.

"Master, long time no see."

Luo Yitian didn't expect to meet Li An here. If she hadn't seen Li An's post on Moments last time, she would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

I haven't seen her for more than four years, but Junior Sister Pipa seems to have changed a lot.

He wears a dark green trendy jacket on his upper body, a pair of slim blue jeans on his lower body, and white sneakers on his feet. Under the black line cap, the black straight hair that used to be black has now been dyed and permed in small waves that Ang Lee can't name.

It is less fresh and more mature than before.

Li An didn't intend to make any comments. Regarding the fair face in front of him, there was only one scene in his private memory, and that was that he blocked the other party.

So, this scene is actually a bit embarrassing.

"Are you bringing your students to the test too?"

Noticing the pipa bag hanging on Luo Yitian's shoulder, Li An asked for something to say.

"Well, I'm helping the teacher with the students now, and I'm here to accompany them in the exam today."

Luo Yitian said while the phone in his hand rang.

"Feel sorry."

She picked up the phone and turned around for a moment, "I didn't see you guys, don't hang up, I'll go find you guys."

After finishing speaking, she raised her shoulders and raised her arms to wave to Li An, then quickly walked towards the lecture hall.

After Luo Yitian left, Li An looked towards the playground on one side.

It's really nice to meet Luo Yitian here.
However, these three-sided greetings made him feel that he might have been too sensitive before.

Individual life grows in the timeline, it is his narrowness.

Judging from Luo Yitian's attitude towards him, the other party should have walked out of that undefined relationship a long time ago.

But going back to the scene where he blackmailed Luo Yitian, in order to avoid another accident with Chen Xuan, he had no better way.

Teacher Li deeply apologized for the harm caused by An Li to this student Luo. He also thought about whether to say sorry for An Li at the end of this encounter.

It's not appropriate to think about it now.

Then I'm sorry Xiao Luo, I wish you a smooth life.

Putting on the mask again, Teacher Li walked towards the back door of the school.

Taking advantage of Ji Yang's time queuing up for the exam, he decided to practice the piano.

Otherwise, wouldn't it have failed Haitao's wishes.

Walking out of the crowded back door, Li An has already seen the black sign of Shengyun Music Store.

Just two steps across the road.

Every year during the art exam, the piano store near the school is extremely popular, not because there are many people buying pianos, but because there are many people practicing pianos.

Shengyun has a total of six small piano rooms that are used to give small lessons to the teachers of the piano shop. At the same time, it is also rented out during the idle period. It is usually 15 yuan/hour, but these days it has risen to 40/hour.

And almost all of them have been booked in advance.

When Li An opened the door and came in, he saw two children waiting in line for the piano room.

It seems that they came here together, the two sat together, one was holding a sheet music and flipping back and forth quickly, with a small suitcase under his feet, the other was holding a violin and looking around outside the door, holding a piece of rosin in his hand.

They all looked anxious.

His eyes fell on the cover of the Art Examination Manual of Rongyuan Academy on the small suitcase.

The two children also came to participate in the preliminary examination of Rongyuan.

It's not long before the first test of the orchestra.

Seeing this, he went to the front desk and asked if the No. [-] piano room was still free.

The clerk reply has been reserved.

Li An hummed, "I won't stay."

The clerk stood up puzzled, and then only heard Li An say, "That's right, Teacher Zheng saved this piano room for me. I won't be using it today. Don't delay your business."

"Oh oh oh."

It turned out that the clerk understood when he heard Mr. Zheng, "Okay, okay, wait a moment."

Then he looked towards the door, "You two come over and pay the deposit and go in."

The two children had long been attracted by the conversation here, and upon hearing the sound, the little boy who was holding the music score rushed over.

After scanning the QR code and paying 100, he was about to turn around when Li An stopped him.

"what?"

The little boy thought that Li An had changed his attention again, and his eyes were a little alert, but he didn't know that the other party just reminded him.

"Slow down when reading the score. It's not good to just look at individual sentences in the east and west sections. You have to look at the paragraph as a whole."

"Time is tight, pay attention to efficiency."

Li An's voice fell, the little boy was a little embarrassed, he misunderstood, and nodded knowingly, "Thank you teacher."

"Okay, let's go."

After watching the two children go upstairs, Li An took a closer look.

There are three pianos and two guzhengs, a row of colorful guitars hangs on the west wall, and a drum kit is placed under the wall.

Various musical instrument accessories are not neatly arranged in the glass behind the counter.

The area is not big, and the use of space is reasonable, but if he arranges it, the guzheng can be hung on the wall, and two pianos can be placed.

This will free up a place to build a small stage.

"You drink water."

At this moment, a cup of hot water was brought to Li An.

Teacher Zheng is a good friend of the boss, and this is also a friend of Teacher Zheng, and he sounds like a teacher, so the clerk dare not neglect.

"Thank you."

Li An took the water glass and turned to smile and asked, "Is the shop busy recently?"

"Hey, this month is okay, isn't it because the students are on vacation, and more people come to the store to inquire about buying pianos." The clerk asked, "Are you also a piano teacher?"

Li Ang: "Well, how about you, how long have you been working here?"

The clerk said shyly, "It's almost four months."

Li An nodded, and for a moment, "After the double reduction, there are not as many children enrolled in classes as before?"

Hearing the double reduction clerk shook his head, he didn't know the situation in other stores. Anyway, there was no obvious fluctuation in the number of people who came to sign up for classes, and when he first came there, the boss was worrying about the adjustment of the children's class time.

"I don't know that after the double reduction, our class time is messed up."

Li An asked suspiciously, "How should I say it?"

Clerk: "Before the school ended in the afternoon, we had students coming to class, but now the children can't make it through this time."

After a brief understanding, Li An probably understood what was going on.
He also heard about this from Xu Li and Xiaobei's mother, but he had been busy with the competition, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect Guangyuan's policy to be implemented so early.

Under the double reduction policy, many primary schools in the vicinity have added one to two hours of after-school extension services after November.

This made Shengyun Piano Shop, which could start teaching classes at four o'clock in the afternoon, have to adjust the class time to five o'clock or even 06:30 before classes can start.

Usually, most of the children who come to class at this time are unable to make time on weekends. Parents ask their children to come to class after school, and just pick them up on the way after get off work.

Kill two birds with one stone.

But the current situation makes some parents find it troublesome. In addition, as the end of the term approaches, many parents temporarily suspend the courses here in order to let their children adapt to the new arrangement.

As a result, the class consumption in November and December continued to drop according to the clerk.

"Hey, I don't know what will happen next year."

The little clerk was also a little confused.

Ang Lee understood.

Since most of the learning of musical instruments is in the form of one-to-one teaching, according to the school extension policy implemented in Guangyuan area, the piano store will reduce an average of two class hours per day.

This is a considerable pressure on the teacher's income and the operation of the piano store.

See the big from the small, and most of the piano shops near Shengyun are the same.

Chatting after the last meeting, I heard Qin Yong say that the performance of the Guangyuan Campus in the two months at the end of the year was not bad. I think that the current school extension services launched by various schools have not had any actual impact on the Guangyuan Campus.

However, this is the first wave of policies. Under the continuous background pressure of the policies, no one can predict what will happen in the future.

"Where do you teach?"

Li An came back to his senses, "Lan Tian, ​​I will take students with me."

The clerk complimented: "Lantian's piano teachers are all very good."

Li An laughed: "Listen to who said it."

The clerk smiled: "Isn't No. 1 in the Rongcheng Division of this Xinghai Cup National Piano Competition the teacher of your blue sky?"

That's what happened.

Li Ang nodded, walked to the three pianos and turned around twice.

Pointing to the piano of 17999, he asked, "Can I try it?"

"You play it."

Seeing Li An sitting down, the clerk was going to come over and have a look.

He also likes the piano, which he never learned when he was a child.

Now I have nothing to do with my work, just like Zheng Haitao asked for advice, and then I used my spare time to practice. Now I can play the basic scale proficiently, but the hands together are relatively slow.

As a result, the two-handed C major scale, which was slower than him, sounded in front of the piano.

What a loud voice!
From now until now, it was the first time he heard that this piano could make such a loud sound.

Unaware of the Ming calendar.

Speeding up to a position two meters away from Li An's side, he saw the ten fingers on the keyboard that were moving slowly, and after each keystroke, they seemed to be thrown out and bounced up again.

Is this what Mr. Zheng said about raising your fingers?

fresh.

The piano is not bad, Li An experienced it while playing.

The touch and response are a little stronger than the one in his living room, and the tone is average.

That's it.

By accident, Li An started his piano practice for today.

Half an hour passed, and halfway through, a candidate who was about to go to the No. [-] steel examination room came down from the upstairs.

He stopped for a while behind Li An.
-
"Ji Yang."

At the front door of the studio, at the entrance of Piano No. [-] examination room, Ji Yang submitted all his documents and followed the candidates in front of him into the entrance gate.

Watching his daughter walk into the examination room, Ji Chengguang sent Li An a message.
-
Among the five candidates who entered this wave, she ranked third.

Walking into the studio, the oncoming is still a familiar smell of wood.

It's just that the stage was set up as an examination room, and five judges and teachers sitting in the middle of the stage were whispering to each other.

Ji Yang didn't see Teacher Wei in it, but saw the young teacher sitting next to Teacher Wei in Master Otto's class
"Sit here and rest for a while."

The five people sat in the test waiting area according to the instructions of the on-site staff.

Three minutes later, a middle-aged male teacher in the middle of the examiner's table put down his teacup.

"Next person."

The male candidate on the farthest left of Ji Yang got up and walked onto the stage.

Bow and sit down.

Start playing.

The boy played Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, the lower finger was powerful, but the first chord played gave Ji Yang a very unsteady feeling.

She thought that if the teacher was there, he would definitely say that the keys are too shallow, the fingers are not evenly pressed, and the hands are raised too high.

This unstable state continued to the subsequent running, resulting in fluctuations in the originally slow speed.

"Thank you."

Suddenly, a thank you from the female examiner sounded from the judges' seat.

30 seconds.

The girl sitting on Ji Yang's right side stared at the watch on her wrist and followed silently.

Usually there are only two situations where the judges stop the game within 30 seconds.

One is that the judges unanimously think it is very good, so there is no need to waste any more time. This is an examination room, not a stage.

The other is that the judges agreed that it was seriously not up to the standard, and there was no need to waste any more time. This is the examination room, not the piano room.

Obviously, the male candidate belongs to the latter.

Standing up and bowing again, the male candidate walked out of the examination room fairly calmly.

"Next person."

At this time, the second female student who was going to play got up and walked to the stage.

Looking at the empty left hand, Ji Yang's heart beat suddenly accelerated.

The next one is her own, she began to take a deep breath, holding two hand warmers in her hand, one loosened and the other tightened.

Relax and relax.

Ji Yang reminded himself.

Force myself to keep going through the score at the beginning of the black key in my mind, and sing along silently in my heart.

After 20 seconds, she felt that her heart was not beating as fast as before.

I just saw the shortness of breath of the left-handed girl when she got up, and she was also affected.

it's better now.

Already ready to go on stage at any time, Ji Yang's attention returned to the stage.

In comparison, she only thinks that the female student who is playing the second etude in F minor in Chopin op25 is not much better than the male student just now based on her sense of hearing.

Both of them seemed to have not learned for a long time, their fingers were not as solid as before she met Li An, each sentence was played too reluctantly, it sounded like music that was forcibly pieced together one by one.

She didn't mean to criticize it, she just listened to it from the scene.

This is the examination room for the steel watch of the Rongcheng Conservatory of Music. This level should be far below the standard of Rongyin.

But this female classmate actually played the piece from beginning to end.

The teacher played this piece in Huayang Theater for about one and a half minutes, and this student played it for almost three minutes.

None of the judges stopped in the middle.

not understand.

After the performance, the girl in front of the piano stood up, bowed and left the stage.

"Next person."

The staff teacher signaled Ji Yang to play.

Ji Yang took off the down jacket wrapped around his body, and strode towards the stage with his head held high.

Just as she walked halfway to the judges' bench, there was a slight cough, and she seemed to filter it out automatically.

Chen Xuan taught her to only look forward when she was on stage, and not to shift her gaze in any way.

Ji Yang's actions after he stepped onto the stage were different from the two candidates who came to the stage. The first two candidates came to the center of the stage and bowed after they came on stage.

And she walked all the way to the piano before stopping.

Fu Qin, turned around, looked at the head and bowed.

Standard stage etiquette.

Although a set of movements was jerky, her bright makeup and a half-familiar black dress still brought a feeling of fullness to the audience.

The remaining two candidates unconsciously looked at the piano. They felt a kind of pressure from the bottom of their hearts from Ji Yang's appearance.

Strong female classmate
next second.

As Ji Yang sat down, an extremely fast melody line rose under the bright stage lights.

moment.

There are only two words left in the minds of the remaining two candidates:
So strong!

Another moment:
so strong
