Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 319 20. Old Season's Bank Card
It's the eighth day of the eighth day, and I can't drink or eat anymore.

Fortunately, halfway through the meal, Lao Li called the waiter in time and ordered the waiter to return the dishes that were not served, so as to stop the loss.

Probably because he ate too much mutton yesterday, facing half a table of delicious food, classmate Xiao Ji also seemed a little tired.

Fortunately, Li An didn't eat much at noon, and finally teamed up with Lao Li and Lao Ji, and the three of them ate all the food on the table.

After dinner, Lao Li proposed to take Lao Ji's family of three to visit Yu Temple. Xiao Ji heard that there were lanterns to watch, so he was the first to carry his small schoolbag.

Stepping on the snow to enjoy the lanterns, in such a festive atmosphere, seems to have a special sense of beauty.

Seeing that the bright red lanterns had just been hung up, they were covered with hoarfrost in a blink of an eye, just like Xiao Ji's face, white and rosy.

"Teacher, help us take a picture together."

In front of the brightly lit temple gate, Li An helped Ji Yang's family take a photo.

Then the positions were switched, and Ji Yang took another group photo for Li An and the three of them.

"Come."

Li An waved to Ji Yang, and Ji Yang threw the phone to Lao Ji, "Take more pictures."

As he spoke, he trotted to Li An's side, kept an arm's length away, turned to look at the camera, and tilted his head slightly to the side.

"eggplant!"

The camera freezes, the two teachers and students in the photo are smiling naturally, and the word "Ping An" hanging on the temple gate also seems to be a New Year's herald.

Going all the way to Yu Temple, Xiao Ji wanted to take a photo with Li An a long time ago.

She snatched the phone back from Lao Ji's hand, swiped it up and down, she chose the one she liked the most and sent it to Li An's WeChat account.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Li An smiled, there is nothing to be thankful for, and casually sent the photo sent by Ji Yang to Chen Xuan.

A group of people set foot on the way back.

Walking to the intersection, Li An proposed to take a taxi, and Lao Ji seconded the proposal.

Then two taxis headed east one after the other.

Xiaomi: It’s so cold outside, don’t hurry home after dinner, uncle’s legs
Eighty-one: My dad insists on taking him out for a walk, and he’s already in the car, and he’ll be home in a while
Xiaomi: Okay, when will you go to the hospital for a physical examination?

Eighty thousand one: the eleventh day of the first day
Xiaomi: Then I’ve booked the ticket. Don’t worry, wait for the results of your uncle’s and aunt’s physical examination before going back.
Bawanyi: Well, get out of the car soon, I will take Ji Yang to fire a few guns later, and play video at night.

Xiaomi: Okay, be safe, I will continue to watch TV with my mother-
For Xiao Ji, compared to watching lanterns and visiting temple fairs, there is nothing happier than setting off cannons accompanied by Ang Lee and his parents.

When Li An got home, he took all the firecrackers downstairs, and brought his family of three to the dirt hillside of the No. [-] Mine.

Bunches of colorful flames flew into the sky with crackling, lighting up the night sky.

The girl's laughter was left behind.

"Are you happy?"

"Happy! Thank you teacher!"
-
After setting off the guns, Li An originally planned to send the three of them back to the hotel, but Hu Rong asked Ji Yang to take Ji Yang back after passing through the 27th old building, "Teacher Li and I have a cigarette."

"See you tomorrow, teacher!" Ji Yang and Li An waved.

Li An also waved his hand, "Go to bed early and keep your spirits up."

As he said that, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Old Ji and lit it himself, "Looking at the snow, I think it will stop at night, Brother Ji, what are your plans?"

Old Ji: "It depends on the situation, when do you plan to go back?"

Ang Lee: "Take my parents for a physical examination in two days, and I'll go back when the results come out."

Old Ji wanted to ask a long time ago: "Your father's legs?"

Li An briefly explained Lao Li's work, "Hey, it's an old problem that has accumulated over time, so I just took this physical examination to take him to have a good checkup."

Old Ji frowned and said, "No way, take your dad to Rongcheng to have a look. It happens that I have a friend who works in the city's No. [-] hospital, so make arrangements in advance."

"Thank you, Brother Ji." Li Anxin sighed that it would be great if the old man was willing to make this trip, "Besides, let's check here first, and if it is really necessary, I will not be polite to you."

Lao Ji nodded, "Yesterday, Yangyang's mother told me that we will go back after driving and playing with you."

Li An waved his hand: "Thank you, thank you, don't wait for me, take her back quickly, you have to work, and she has to prepare for culture classes."

Old Ji smiled: "It's okay, the company has nothing to do recently, it doesn't matter to her sooner or later."

Li An: "I've got my heart, you guys won't feel at ease waiting for me, Xiaoxue should take her away quickly."

Seeing this, Lao Ji stopped talking, put out the cigarette, took out a bank card from his pocket, and handed it to Li An.

"Brother Ji, what is this?"

Under the streetlights, the brand new card surface gleamed.

"Take it."

Old Ji threw the card into Li Ang's left pocket of his coat involuntarily.

Before Li An could speak, "Listen to me."

"There is 15 in the card, and [-] is Yangyang's class fee this year. I don't care how many classes you want to arrange for her this year. We will talk about it later. Anyway, she has four years of undergraduate studies, and I will pay the [-] class fee every year on time. On this card, if there is more or less, it will be [-]."

"The extra [-] is a little thought from us as parents."

"We can all see and feel the changes that Yangyang has undergone in the past six months."

"As parents, we are relieved that she can find her own direction at this age."

"At the same time, we also know that even without you, she can find her own way on the road of piano learning, but without you, none of us knows when that day will come."

"Thank you for guiding her and setting a good example for her."

"So no matter how grateful you are, it will be empty. The password is the last six digits of your mobile phone number."

a long time.

"Li An, if you call me brother, then I will also say something about being a brother. This society is reserved for capable people."
-
He had prepared Lao Ji's bank card a long time ago. If it wasn't for the heavy snow, he would have found a chance to give it to Li An last night.

When Li An left the 25 yuan before getting off the car, his heart almost jumped out.

On the second day after his daughter's art exam, all the money he gave was returned. What does this mean?
Yangyang's entrance exam to Rongcheng Academy this year is hopeless.

At that time, there were only two thoughts in his mind, one was that Teacher Wei confiscated it, and the other was that Li An didn't give it away.

But after he went back and analyzed it carefully, he felt relieved about Ji Yang's exam, but he didn't know how to evaluate Li An.

This is 25, and Li An just returned it to him.

Li An could obviously swallow this money by himself.

Ji Yang made a toast, and Teacher Wei sent a message to Li An for the rest of the matter.

Aside from Mr. Wei's social criticism, rumors are rumors after all, so these words can no longer be understood by Lao Ji.

What did he want to do with Li An? His understanding was that it was inconvenient for Teacher Wei to ask for the money directly, and Li An needed to transfer it.

So no matter how Li An and Teacher Wei divide the 25 yuan, it is impossible for Teacher Wei not to keep any of it.

Therefore, there will certainly not be a situation where the full amount of 25 will be returned.

In other words, there is no such thing as Mr. Wei confiscating it.

Then Ang Lee didn't send it.

Failure to send the contract is equivalent to wanting to take it all alone, but why did you want to take it all alone and returned the money without saying a word.

If it was because Li An had already received news that Ji Yangyang failed the exam this year, then based on what Old Ji knew about Li An, Li An would definitely tell him something.

But Li An didn't say anything, just smiled and got out of the car.

If Li An knew that Ji Yang would fail, why did he return the money to Yang Yang on the second day of the art test.

Why did you tell him to let the child prepare for the culture class before getting off the car.

When I heard this sentence at that time, I knew that Yangyang's exams had been completed.

As a result, Li An then took out the strawberry box he was familiar with from his bag, at such a time point.

In the end, everything pointed to a conclusion. Li An conveyed to him the news that Ji Yang had passed the exam and returned his 25 yuan.

That's 25 million.

Even if all the above speculations do not exist, so what, the money was given by himself, and there was not even a verbal agreement when he gave it.

Even if Yangyang didn't pass the exam in the end, so what could he do, he had already quietly withdrawn the money.

25, is it not attractive for a young man who has worked hard in Rongcheng for three years and still has no place to stay?

Ji Chengguang really doesn't understand, he has been in the society for more than 20 years, and he has never met Li An.

He was a little moved.

Yangyang said in the garage, "Ms. Li is the light I want to pursue", and he smiled at that time.

Now he doesn't feel that his daughter's words contain any exaggeration, Li An is a ray of light.

Especially when he parked the car at the door of the unit yesterday and walked into the small and dark bedroom, he thought he had returned to 20 years ago.

All the scenes in front of me are too outdated.

Before, he only knew that Li An's family background was average, but he never thought that it would be so poor.

Last night, Ji Yang went back to the hotel and asked him a question. He asked him, Dad, what is the Coke bottle on the heater in the teacher's bathroom for?
When he washed his hands, he also noticed that several large bottles were lined up, filled with water, and embedded in the corner between the wall and the radiator.

He guessed that he filled the bottle with water and put it on the radiator the night before, and baked it overnight, and the water in the bottle would be warm the next morning, which could be used to wash his face and brush his teeth.

After hearing this, Ji Yang's expression was clearly incomprehensible.

He understands.

The more he understands, the more he feels that Li An is like a ray of light, but the light warms others, so what can he rely on to keep himself warm.

There are too many problems in front of Ang Lee.

"You have the ability, but you should adapt to this society as soon as possible."

"Brother Ji." Li An suddenly smiled as he spoke, "Hey."

Old Ji patted Li An on the shoulder, looked at his watch with a smile, "Don't worry about finding a place, let's sit down, don't drink, just chat."

The two found a barbecue stall nearby, and chatted until one o'clock in the middle of the night.

During the period, Li An sent Chen Xuan a message, and Chen Xuan replied, "Don't worry about me, I will sleep with my mother tonight."

There is 15 in the pocket, the lover far away is intimate, the parents make the bed for themselves at home, and the big brother beside them guides them.

This night, Li An had an indescribably fulfilling life.

Ji Chengguang had a sentence that made him vaguely understand the road ahead, about going home, about earning money, about self-positioning.

"Ability is only valuable when your ability can be discounted."

If these words were heard half a year ago, Li An would feel that they were too naked.

But listening to it now, if the so-called ability cannot be turned into money, if there is no way to save the people closest to me from hard work, and there is no way to make myself dare to have extravagant expectations for the future, then what kind of ability does this kind of ability have now? value.

Maybe, but he already knew what to do next.

"Don't send it off, I'll go back by myself, what time will tomorrow afternoon, do you need to prepare anything for Yangyang's side?"

"You guys come over for lunch at noon tomorrow, and a car will pick you up then, let's go there together."
-
On the morning of the ninth day of the ninth day, when Li An woke up, Mama An was the only one at home.

"Where is my father?"

"go to work."

"Didn't he come to work after fourteen?"

"It's not that you don't know about him, it's alright, just leave him alone, go wash your face and brush your teeth, and Mom will heat you up."

"It's not mom, don't, don't we all agree, we will go to the hospital together the day after tomorrow, how can he sing this?"

"Don't worry, he will definitely accompany you the day after tomorrow."

"If he doesn't go, you will be angry with him."

Yesterday afternoon, while Lao Li was sleeping, Li An had already finished An Ma's work.

When he came to the bathroom, Li An picked up the Sprite bottle on the radiator, unscrewed the cap, and squeezed more than half of the bottle of water into the washbasin.

Give it a try, the water temperature is just right.

After washing my face comfortably, I started today's piano practice after breakfast.

No matter what was on his mind, he felt that his state of practicing piano was different.

Before, he wanted to understand the piano, but now he has to understand the piano.

Apart from the piano, he has no other abilities.

After running the scale and arpeggio, he took out the original owner's Czerny 740 etude.

In the next six months, he will use the transposition practice to re-catch 299 just like re-cracking 740. At the same time, he will also polish Bach's second and third Inventions from scratch.

During the period, Beethoven's sonatas still have to continue to complete two sonatas in a month and move forward.

This preliminary piano practice plan was drawn up by him in bed last night.

The purpose is obvious. Ang Lee has already intentionally approached Bach's works slowly, and he seems to want to complete all 32 works of Beethoven within this year.

This kind of ambition is not small. As for how much he can accomplish without the guidance of a teacher, he will have to wait for his annual summary report on piano practice at the end of 2022.
-
At noon, An Ma simply cooked four home-cooked dishes, and had lunch on the ninth day with Lao Ji's family of three.

"Ms. Li, you can just take Yangyang there in a while, and you send us the location, and we will go there by ourselves."

At exactly 01:30, Li An changed into more formal clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

Qi Yunsong's car had already driven downstairs, and the driver was not Qi Yunsong himself, but the young man with glasses that Li An saw in the school hall last time.

"Teacher Li."

The young man took the initiative to get out of the car and opened the door for Li An. Li An asked Ji Yang to go up first, and then went up by himself. The young man finally returned to the driver's seat.

The car drove out of the community and returned to the road. The snow on the road had already begun to melt and was crushed into puddles of mud by the wheels. There were gradually more pedestrians on both sides of the road.

The young man wanted to get acquainted with Li An on the road, but our Master Li closed his eyes and rested his mind as soon as he got in the car, leaning his head on the back of the chair, not sure if he was asleep or not.

On the other hand, the girl next to Li An has been flipping through a sheet of music since she got in the car.

About 5 minutes later, he received a message from Principal Qi.

'Where are you? '
-
The Cultural Center opposite Zhiyuan Art School has the only citizen concert hall in Yucheng.

It can accommodate 300 people at the same time.

Although about two-thirds of the seats were vacant at this time, the first three rows of the auditorium were already packed when viewed from the stage.

Under the stage lights, two small grand pianos are arranged in an orderly manner, and those who understand can recognize at a glance that they are indeed two small grand pianos for home use.

Fortunately, the stage is not too big. Looking from the audience, the size of the two pianos is just right on the stage.

A banner hung above the stage, with white characters on a red background, clearly.

'Master class for young pianist Ang Lee'

'Special Sponsorship of Brest Musical Instruments'

Qi Yunsong was standing under the banner at this moment, and the mobile phone in his hand suddenly rang.

"Principal Qi, I'll be there in five minutes."
