Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 290 285. Old Li's New Year's goods, he is also nervous

Ganzhou City.

Yucheng County.

At 27, Unit 202, Building [-], Xinnanzhuang, Lao Li was frying fish, and the kitchen was crackling and smoky.

The old-fashioned range hood hanging above the gas stove looks like it has just been cleaned, but the yellowing fan blades are visible to the naked eye, and the noise is so loud that he can't hear what the wife outside the door just said. What did you say.

Lao Li stopped, grabbed the towel hanging around his neck and wiped off his sweat, then pushed open the kitchen door to reveal a crack, and raised his head and shouted, "What are you talking about?"

Then Mama An brought a cup of tea over.

Seeing the old man coughing and coughing, Ma An couldn't help but say, "I want you to open the door."

As she said that, she put down the teacup and opened the kitchen door. Suddenly, the oily smoke accumulated in the small kitchen rushed towards her.

Only then did I see that the large pots and small pots in the kitchen were already piled up on the chopping board, and all kinds of fried goods were stuffed to the brim, with a small point protruding from the mouth of the pot.

The son is leaving tomorrow, and they will be home the day after tomorrow.

The old couple started kneading noodles, chopping stuffing, marinating meat and fish since last night. It’s not like Lao Li is off work today. The husband and wife have been busy frying these things early in the morning and have been working until now.

Lao Li took the teacup from his wife in one hand, and turned the fish in the pot with his chopsticks in the other hand, and there was another crackling.

After drinking enough water, he put down his teacup and grabbed two meatballs from a small basin beside him for his wife to taste.

"Okay."

An Ma threw it into her mouth and chewed, "Okay, this time the salt is enough."

Old Ji grinned, yesterday when he adjusted the stuffing, he purposely added a pinch of salt, last year Li An came back and said that their fried meatballs were bland.

Lao Li still remembers the expression and tone of his son when he spoke.

That scene was like what happened just last night. In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

The son is coming home again.

"Okay, you go and rest, there are only some pancakes left."

After frying this pot of fish, there are three pots of fried cakes.

After frying the pancakes, their family's New Year's goods for this year are ready.

Not letting his wife stay in the kitchen, Lao Li kicked her out and closed the kitchen door again.

After a while, the kitchen was smoky again, and Lao Li wiped his sweat from time to time, thinking that he had to get a new hood anyway.

Get a new range hood.

This is the New Year's wish of an old absenteeism near retirement in Yucheng.
-
Speaking of New Year's resolutions.

Ang Lee's New Year's wish is to make money, the kind that makes a lot of money.

However, he can only talk about this with Chen Xuan under the quilt, and it is not suitable to put it on the dinner table at this moment.

At the end of the year and the end of the year, the topic can never be separated from summarizing the past year.

Looking back at the past year, the old Ji and his wife saw that besides being busy, Ji Yang was going to go to college next year. Hu Rong said that at this time last year, he still felt that Ji Yang had only graduated from junior high school for two years.

Old Ji: "Isn't it? This year is passing too fast now, and it's the end of the year again without feeling anything."

Ang Lee: "Indeed."

Old Ji smiled and let out a sigh: "You are still young, you will know when you reach our age, the days are countless."

"Brother Ji, take a break too." Li An got up.

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Li, sit down, we can't sleep either."

Lao Ji looked at his watch, and there was still more than an hour before going out, "If you are sleepy, just lie down on the bed for a while, and I will call you when you leave later."

Li An waved his hand, "Take a break, I don't know how long it will be in the afternoon, I have something to do, see you at the entrance of the hotel at [-]:[-]."

After that, he turned and left.

Lao Ji and his wife saw that Li An was gone, and they discussed that it would be okay to lie down alone for a while. Lao Ji asked his wife to rest first, and took Ji Yang's water glass to the door of the suite, and gently knocked on the door twice.

Then unscrew the door panel.

Seeing his daughter sitting by the bed staring at the score in his hand intently, Lao Ji didn't linger long, put the water on the bed and went out.

Time passed by, and four or ten minutes later, Ji Yang closed the score and let out a sigh of relief.

Go through it again before going to the exam room.

Putting down the score, she came to the window, and across the road from the window was the Rongcheng Conservatory of Music.

The campus in the afternoon looked extraordinarily peaceful.

Just like her heart at this moment.

She felt that she should be ready.

There were two knocks on the door again.

Ji Yang turned his head and saw his mother pushing the door and coming in.

"Yangyang finished watching."

"Well, where's my dad?"

"Your father is asleep."

After Hu Rong entered, she closed the door gently and walked to her daughter. Seeing her calm expression, she felt much calmer in her heart, "Let's go out to eat again?"

Ji Yang: "I can't take it anymore."

Hu Rong smiled and asked, "Are you nervous again?"

Ji Yang shook his head: "It's not nervous."

Seeing something in her daughter's words, Hu Rong pulled her daughter back to sit by the bed, "Tell mom what's wrong."

Ji Yang couldn't hold back, so he told his mother what happened in the waiting hall.

After finishing speaking, he sighed, "Mom, do you think the teacher will be unhappy if I don't get a good grade in the exam?"

Hu Rong: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your teacher doesn't know how much you weigh, and he still thinks about a good ranking. If you can pass your teacher, you will be thanked."

Ji Yang knew, but she just wanted to hear a few words from her mother.

"Then if I fail to get a good grade in the exam, the teacher will lose face."

After speaking, Ji Yang looked at his mother seriously, as if he wanted to hear a serious answer.

Hu Rong guessed that something went wrong here, and her daughter couldn't understand it better. When Ji Yang described the scene to her just now, she knew that Ji Yang might be thinking about something on her own again.

"Your results will not be made public at that time, don't worry."

Ji Yang felt relaxed and tightened: "Really?"

Hu Rong: "Really, if you don't believe me, check it yourself."

Ji Yang picked up his mobile phone and checked the admission list of the Piano Department of Rongcheng Conservatory of Music last year.

It's really true!
The list of admissions she saw was rehearsed in order of test numbers.

Immediately, I felt relieved, so that others would not know her ranking.

But in a flash, she found that the little knot in her heart was still unsolved, so what if others didn't know, if she didn't get a good rank in the exam, she still didn't get a good rank in the exam.

"Okay, let's go out for two more bites. It's still an afternoon. Teacher Li just said to let you eat something to make up for it. I don't know what time it will be for you."

Seeing this, Xiao Ji nodded and followed Hu Rong out of the suite, only to find that the teacher was not there.

"Where did the teacher go?"

"He went out to do some errands, and he will wait for us downstairs in a while. He is eating a shrimp omelet, which is still warm."

The movement of the mother and daughter woke up Lao Ji on the bed.

Hu Rong waited on Ji Yang to eat, and then came to ask her husband, "There are 15 minutes left, how about lying down again?"

"Don't lie down."

Lao Ji rubbed his eyes and sat up, and sat quietly for a few seconds, not to mention the difference after squinting for a while, his head hurt when he had lunch, but now he feels much more comfortable.

In the past two days, he and Hu Rong have been tossing a lot.

After Ji Yang finished eating, the three of them packed up and went downstairs.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Li An sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor.

"teacher."

"Walk."

Ang Lee got up.

The four set off.

Crossing the road is the school gate, and the campus is quieter in the afternoon. Those who don't know may think that the professional re-examination of Rongyuan has already finished.

The number of people in the lecture hall was more than half of what it was in the morning.

Li An asked the couple to take a rest here with Ji Yang. He was going to see what was going on in the examination room. According to the time, the first child in the afternoon session had already started.

Lao Ji said he would go, and let Li An stay here with him.

Ang Lee's classic hand waving gesture came again, "No, can we not be so nervous?"

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Yang, "Isn't it, classmate Xiao Ji?"

Ji Yang bared his teeth: "I'm not nervous."

Immediately, three, one, one, and four all laughed.

Seeing Ji Yang's relaxed state at this moment, Li An felt more at ease, and just went up and played.

Said that Ji Yang should not be nervous, but as the exam time approached, he gradually became nervous.

He couldn't stay in the hotel room after lunch.

He is also afraid.

Obviously Teacher Wei had given him the truth, but he was still afraid.

Afraid of Ji Yang's mistakes, afraid of Ji Yang not playing well.

I was afraid that because of his negligence in a certain link, Ji Yang would not be able to get out of the re-examination room smoothly.

He has done everything he asked the children to do, and all of them have fulfilled his requirements, and even exceeded his expectations in some links.

So if the child does not pass the test, is it his problem?

Although he knew that he shouldn't think about it this way, but at this moment he couldn't avoid the emotions of a normal person.

As he had said in his heart more than once, except for Ji Chengguang and Hu Rong, no one hoped that Ji Yang would pass this exam more than him.

This is an experience for Ji Yang to break through himself, and it is also a test for him as a piano teacher.

He has never sent an art candidate who has not solved a finger problem to the re-examination room of a conservatory after half a year of teaching.

This is the first time in his teaching career.

There are not only the efforts of Ji Yang's family, but also his painstaking efforts, and the teaching ideas he painstakingly designed.

Stopping not far from the entrance of the studio, looking at the queue in front of the gate, Li An suddenly had a feeling that he was about to enter the re-examination room.

He was also afraid of such a scene, but in the end he walked out of the examination room with a smile.

Thinking back to the past, for a moment, his whole body seemed to be refilled with a kind of power.

I'm afraid it's useless.

So come on Ji!
It's time to test the results of our joint efforts for the past six months.

In this game, you only need to enjoy today's stage wholeheartedly.

Not for rankings, not for valid certificates, just for us teachers and students to look back on this period of 2022 in the future without any regrets.

Regardless of the outcome, we have tried our best.

"Teacher Li."

Suddenly there was a somewhat familiar voice behind him, and Li An turned his head. He didn't recognize the other party at the first moment, but then he remembered the erhu on the other party's shoulder.

Isn't this the little girl who waited for tickets in front of his concert poster last time?

I didn't expect the two to meet again, and at this point in time, it seems that the boy should have passed the preliminary test.

"Hello."

Li An took the initiative to say hello to the little girl, "Where's your piano partner?"

The little girl pointed to the team in front of the studio, "He has No. 11."

Li An gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, not bad, I hope he can pass smoothly."

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

She was there when An Li was encouraging everyone in the exam waiting hall in the morning, and she just wanted to say that Teacher Li shone brightly at that moment.

See you in September.

How desirable, hey, it's a pity that she has missed the Rongcheng Courtyard.

"How are you? The exams for the folk music department have started. You're still wandering around here."

Li An subconsciously thought that the other party had also passed the initial test of Rongyuan
Unexpectedly, the little girl rubbed her nose and smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't pass the first try."

Li An suddenly felt very regretful, "Sorry."

The little girl said that before the first test, Li An was still recalling the last time at the entrance of the concert hall, the little girl stood up and stubbornly wanted to win a chance for her companion to watch her concert.

To be honest, when he took out those two tickets, it was more for the girl's righteousness.

"Feel sorry."

Li An added another sentence.

The little girl was flustered by Li An's apology, and she quickly crossed her hands in front of her and swayed, "Ah, ah, no need for Mr. Li."

"I just want to test myself, and I didn't expect to be admitted here."

She then let go of her hand, and then continued as if summing up her experience, "Actually, I was quite satisfied with my performance after I finished the lecture, but after listening to the performance of other students, I knew that I and my major students still noticed it. , so it's normal not to meet the requirements of the judges and teachers."

Hearing the little girl face her preliminary test results so sincerely, and recalling the other party's statement that she didn't expect to be able to pass the exam, Li An felt that the more he went forward, the more he couldn't see such a situation.

After a while, he continued, "How about other schools?"

Speaking of other schools, the little girl laughed: "Rong Da Rong's re-examinations are all over!"

Good, very good.

Li Anjue's heart was not so depressed, "These two schools are also good, and I will definitely continue to work hard when I get to university."

The little girl nodded seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Li, I must work hard at the undergraduate stage."

"I'll come to Rongcheng Conservatory of Music to take the postgraduate entrance examination when I have solidified my basic skills in my undergraduate course!"

Even if he is not the child's teacher, Li An is still proud of him: "Come on, you will definitely be able to."

"hey-hey."

Only then did the little girl remember to ask Li An why he was here, and Li An said that he would come and take a look.

"Oh, then Mr. Li, you are busy, I am sorry to waste your time."

The little girl said she was going to find a companion
"Wait a moment."

Li An called to stop the little girl: "Which partner of yours is the first to enter the examination room?"

"Ah, he has No. 11."

Li An thought for a while, "Come here, do me a favor."

The little girl rushed over.

Ang Lee: "What do you call it?"

Little girl: "My name is Fang Yuan, you can just call me Yuanyuan."

Li An: "Yuanyuan, is it convenient for you to call me when your companion enters later?"

Yuanyuan: "Okay, okay, no problem, Mr. Li."

After Li An gave Fang Yuan the phone number, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Or classmate Fang Yuan is smart. After saving Li An's phone number, she said to Li An, "Mr. Li, I will send you a message every time a candidate enters."

Li An nodded cheerfully, "You are the only one who is clever."

Fang Yuan left, and Li An quickly returned to the lecture hall.

I want to think about it again, because I was also nervous, and he didn't sit with Xiao Ji properly all day today.
-
lecture hall.

Xiao Ji, who was reading the score carefully, suddenly felt someone sitting down beside him.

Turning his head, he gritted his teeth.

When I looked at the score again, every note seemed to be more solid.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer candidates and parents in the lecture hall.
