Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 342 43. Two or three things about buying a piano, father and daughter's wishes
In order not to distract Ji Yang from reading the message, Li An thought for a while and didn't reply to the message.

You said Ji Yang is the same, just send a text for this kind of thing
Thinking of Ji Yang uttering such a tone in public, he was a little embarrassed as a teacher.

Probably really impatient for the child.

Ang Lee crossed out WeChat and turned on the camera, put the phone on the bracket, then adjusted the straight bracket to point the lens at the keyboard.

While Ji Yang was still moving, he first helped Hu Kai record today's class.

To put it bluntly, there are two movements, one raising the hand and the other lowering the hand.

On this matter, Li An sat between the two fathers and talked for 10 minutes.

According to the three-party teaching plan that Li An made last week, Hu Kai must first master and digest the content of each lesson, and then cooperate with his son to practice at home, and send the practice video to Li An for review.

In addition to practicing on the piano, Hu Kai also needs to learn music theory knowledge, starting from the most basic understanding of staves and musical notes.

In the second half of today's class, Li An took the two of them to read the music, and objectively evaluated that Hu Kai's learning and memory ability is much stronger than Song Sheng's.

After half a class, Hu Kai has already recognized the treble notation at all levels, the key is to master its rules.

Very good, Li An hopes that Hu Kai can persevere, so that he can really see that there are parents who are willing to learn piano for their children.

After sending the recorded video to Hu Kai, he also sent the courseware he made for the Jinhua music literacy class to the other party.

The first three sections of this set of courseware with cartoon illustrations are very suitable for Hu Dabao at the current stage. Let Hu Kai print it out and use it as a story to tell the children, so that both of you can consolidate your learning.

Click Send.

After dealing with Hu Dabao's after-school questions this week, Li An sent another message to Jia Mingyu, but she didn't see a reply after 10 minutes. She guessed that he should be in class.

Let's talk at night.

When get out of class was about to end, Hu Kai and Li An asked about buying a violin for their children. Li An knew that Hu Kai’s family was not short of money, and he was determined enough to take his baby to learn the piano, but he still suggested that the other party buy a violin for about [-] yuan first. economically applicable violin.

The reason is simple. Compared with teaching pianos worth less than [-] yuan, pianos at this price are of stable quality, can meet the basic needs of children learning piano, and are enough for home use.

Even if the child does not persist, the loss is not great.

If the child perseveres, he can choose to do it in one step when it is almost the same time, and he will not be entangled or distressed when changing.

Hu Kai originally wanted to buy a violin worth [-] to [-] yuan, but the price seemed embarrassing to Ang Li. Considering Hu Kai’s personal financial ability, the money was spent on this, so it’s better to add more, and the price reached [-] yuan , the sense of picture gradually moistened.

But if the child didn't persevere, the family would be angry at an expensive piece of wood at home all day long.

Furthermore, if he is asked to recommend a four-year-old child who has just taken two lessons to buy a piano worth more than [-] yuan, regardless of whether the family is poor or not, he will not be able to pass this test anyway.

Domestic pianos worth around [-] yuan are also very good, and there is basically no need to worry too much.

He is also relieved to leave it to Jia Mingyu.

After another 10 minutes, Chen Xuan was out of class, and there was still no movement in the corridor.

Li An wondered what was going on with this girl, so he took the initiative to send a message when he was worried.

Ji Yang replied in seconds: Teacher, I have already arrived at the door of the unit.

This time it's really coming soon.

Then Li An heard the door knock.

"Sister Chen, Happy New Year!"

"Oh, come here as soon as you come, what are you carrying, come in quickly, how did you do in the exam?"

"Very good, hehe, I feel good about myself."

When Li An walked out of the study, he saw Chen Xuan leading Ji Yang to the living room. When Ji Yang saw him, he bared his teeth and said loudly, "Happy birthday, teacher!"

"All right, thank you," Li An raised his hand to signal the other party not to be so excited, "Why is it so late?"

Ji Yang scratched his head: "I saw that you didn't reply to my message. I thought you were still in class, so I went home first."

Li An wondered: "Can't you find a public toilet to solve it?"

Chen Xuan was confused, "Huh?"

Then Xiao Ji told the ins and outs of the matter.

Bawan shook his head after hearing this.

Li An was speechless: "Your brain circuit is not asleep."

In short, before Xiao Ji went out for the exam in the afternoon, he brought two bottles of red wine ordered by Lao Ji. Lao Ji said, Mr. Li moved to a new house, how could he go empty-handed for the first time.

So Xiao Ji protected the wine box in his hand all the way. After the exam, he was about to take a taxi on the road. His stomach started to grow up, so he sent Li An a message, but Li An didn't reply.

As Li An said, there are toilets everywhere, just find a place to solve it, but Xiao Ji was afraid that the gift box she brought to Li An would be dirty, so she planned to come to the teacher's house to solve it, but she didn't receive it. Reply to the message, and simply went back home.

Just about to wash my hair again.

"Hey, teacher, this is given to you by my dad. Congratulations on your housewarming. What did he say?" Ji Yang forgot for a moment what Old Ji taught her at noon, "Anyway, congratulations to Teacher and Sister Chen!"

"Okay, I thank your father, let's put the things there."

Ji Yang put the wine box on the coffee table, then looked around as if looking for something, "Teacher, can I see the kitten?"

Li An: "Let's go to class first, go inside and wait for me."

As he spoke, he pointed to the study room.

After Ji Yang went in, Chen Xuan and Li An discussed in a low voice that they would stay with Ji Yang for dinner at night, "It's time for dinner, you can ask her."

Li An turned his head, "Ji Yang, let's have dinner together tonight."

A moment later, a voice came from the study: "Okay!"

Li An turned around, "Then let's go out to eat or order takeaway, it will definitely be too late."

Chen Xuan: "Don't worry about it, let's go to class first."
-
Five 10 minutes later.

"Okay, that's it for today."

Li An taught Xiao Ji half a class to relax, and Xiao Ji's last scale performance was quite good, even though he didn't practice the piano recently.

"Relax, slow down, remember these two points, from now until the end of July, no matter how much time you have to practice the piano, we will always focus on these two points."

Xiao Ji nodded, hummed, seeing that get out of class was over, she took out a wrapped rectangular box from her bag, and handed it to Li An seriously: "Teacher, I'm sending you a birthday present."

Li An was stunned for a moment, showing a helpless smile.

Looking at the packaging, it is not cheap, but Ji Yang has already taken it out, and he has no choice but to say, "Don't spend this kind of money next time, and wait until you earn money yourself."

Xiao Ji touched his nose, "New Year's money."

"New year's money is not acceptable." After a while, Li An took it and weighed it twice in his hand. It was not light, "What? Reveal it."

Xiao Ji curled his lips, "Oh, how can you ask about this kind of thing? You will know when you come back and take a look at it yourself. I just don't know if you like it or not. There is only one noon time, so I chose in a hurry."

Li An smiled, and then put the gift box on the computer desk, "Thanks, Xiao Ji, I will like it very much no matter what it is."

After a meal, "This is the first gift I have received from a student in my life."

Hearing this, Xiao Ji felt that he was about to swell up, and said seriously, "Suddenly I feel that this gift is the right choice!"

Hey, yelling.

When Li An heard this, he became even more curious. At this moment, a group of small characters floated in front of his eyes.

[Reputation value +3]

"Let's go! Let's see what big meal your sister Chen prepared for us!"

"Oh hoo!!"
-
The two teachers and students came to the living room happily, and their dinner for today was already set on the coffee table.

A colorful table looks like a small family gathering.

"Wow."

When Ji Yang saw pizza, french fries, cola, and fried chicken, his saliva almost fell out of his mouth.

Although the food in the training class was very good, it was all normal stir-fried vegetables, rice and noodles. When I got home in the past two days, the family cooked this and that for her again. She hadn't seen these calorie bombs for half a month.

"Sister Chen, you are a Bodhisattva!"

Chen Xuan smiled, "Wash your hands and eat." She guessed that Ji Yang hadn't eaten these things for a while.

Ji Yang returned to the living room after washing his hands, and saw a big orange cat appearing on the cat climbing frame, ah, what kind of eyes are these.

She felt a slight contempt in the other party's eyes looking at her.

"Teacher, it looks like a human."

Li An laughed, "It likes to make a fool of itself, come and eat first, and then play with it after eating."

Before starting, Ji Yang picked up his phone and quickly edited a message and sent it out.

The three of them ate pizza, drank coke, and watched the news broadcast, enjoying a happy scene, which also had a special taste.

"Teacher, I have decided."

"Ok?"

"I'd like to stay in the boarding class for a while longer."

"Figured out?"

"Well, I feel that the teacher there is really good at teaching, and it is very targeted. I want to review it for another round to make sure nothing goes wrong!"

"Very good, what did your mother say?"

"My mother still expects me to be able to pass the college entrance examination, but it is not as strong as before. She said that as long as I can pass 390 this time, she can stop meddling in my culture class review."

"I also dropped you 20 points."

"hey-hey."

"Your mother is relieved when she sees your attitude and heartbeat."

"Yeah, hey, I really don't want them to worry about me, they are already busy at work."

"Don't think about these problems for now, and you can't change them. Your task now is to prepare well for the college entrance examination. When you grow up, there will be opportunities to repay them."

"Ok!"

"Look, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather is gradually warming up. June is just around the corner. I won't talk too much about you, teacher. Take care of yourself."

"Well! By the way, teacher, when will the results of the Rongyuan Academy be released?"

"According to previous years' practice, it is estimated that it will come out before the end of the month. Are you nervous?"

"A little bit, hehe."

"Enjoy this feeling, there are few opportunities to experience it in life."

When Ji Yang heard the teacher use the word "enjoyment", he savored it carefully, and the anxiety in his heart was replaced by longing for most of it.

There must be an optimistic poet in the teacher's heart!
-
After the meal, under Chen Xuan's guidance, Ji Yang played with Bawan for a while.

The time on the phone came to eight o'clock, "Teacher, I have to go."

Li An got up to send Ji Yang off, "Well, hurry home."

Ji Yang didn't want to lie to Li An, "Teacher, I have something to do."

In fact, Ji Yang and Xiao Wu had already made an appointment to relax together tonight, but Li An asked her to eat and she was embarrassed to refuse, so she sent a message to Xiao Wu after class, pushing the time to 08:30.

"My parents both know."

Li Anhan: "You said earlier that we won't keep you, go now, don't play too late."

Ji Yang nodded: "Goodbye teacher, goodbye sister Chen."

"Hey wait." Li An almost forgot, turned around and took out a cigarette from the drawer under the TV cabinet, then handed it to Ji Yang, "Go back to your dad."

Hu Kai gave him two cigarettes last week, they are not common in the market, and it happens that Lao Ji also likes to smoke, so let Ji Yang bring them back for Lao Ji to try.

Moving house by myself, people give me housewarming gifts, according to etiquette, I should invite the other party to have a meal to express my gratitude, but Lao Ji didn't come tonight,

It's not such a thing to ask another day, hey, because of Ji Yang's friendship along the way, Ji Yang can be regarded as an older brother and younger brother, so let's not bother, go back to smoke that cigarette.

"Tell your dad, just two, one for me and him."

"Well, thank you teacher!"
-
Not long after Ji Yang left, Jia Mingyu called.

"Hello, senior sister."

"I just guessed that you will be in class, um, I need you to help me."

Then Li An told the other party that Hu Kai wanted to buy a piano. When Jia Mingyu heard that Li An was going to introduce business to her again, she thought she was asking her for help.

Like the parent surnamed Song recommended last time, let the other party come to him to buy a piano.

This time, she said that she couldn't pick up anything anymore. If Li An had no supply, she would share her channel with the other party for free, but the other party made it clear that she didn't mean that.

What is this?

It was introducing business and sending mutton. How long had it been since the 3000 yuan matter, she felt that Li An really didn't need to do this, and she knew that Li An was still in a difficult situation.

"Senior Sister, can you just help me? I've been really busy recently, and my parents are in a hurry. I can't spare time, and I've told you all. Afterwards, half of the five five ones."

After another round of haggling, Jia Mingyu finally managed to hold back Li An: "You, this is the last time, don't bother me next time!"

Li An chuckled: "Thank you for your hard work, sister, the models are only those two models, and the price is in that range. Look at the supply, is there any stock?"

Jia Mingyu: "Yes, why don't you come and try it yourself?"

Li An smiled: "Which one of us is trying differently, I have already explained to my parents what I should explain, and I will ask him to contact you when I come back. It will probably be the day after tomorrow."

Jia Mingyu: "Okay, then I'll wait for his call."

After hanging up Jia Mingyu's call, Li An then pushed Jia Mingyu's call to Hu Kai.

Chen Xuan watched from the sidelines the whole time. She somewhat didn't understand Li An's actions. It wasn't that she had any opinion on Jia Mingyu. From the first meal, Jia Mingyu left a particularly good impression on her.

The later getting along made her feel that this sister was honest and enthusiastic, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to call Jia Mingyu some time ago to inquire about changing the piano for Li An.

She also heard Li An talk about how Jia Mingyu took care of Li An and his younger brothers and sisters during college.

But it's not like rushing to send money to the other party, and it's so difficult for Senior Sister Jia to do so.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked.

Li An nodded and sighed, "I always thought she was doing pretty well."

After Lin Guoguo's class today, Li An and Wei Sanwan talked about the senior brothers and sisters in Rongcheng who are still engaged in piano-related work. Wei Sanwan mentioned Jia Mingyu, saying that Jia Mingyu's business has not been very good in recent months , is a state that is struggling to maintain.

"So that's the case." Chen Xuan understood.

Li Ang: "It just so happens that Hu Kai bought a piano for the child. I thought about it and let him go to the senior sister. In fact, the money from this piano is not much at all, and the profit is not enough for her teeth."

Chen Xuan: "When you have a suitable student in the future, you can introduce it to the senior sister."

Li Ang: "Her problem is not here. She has a lot of students in her hands. The key is that the steps are too big at the beginning. If you haven't been to her, you don't know. The location is not biased at all."

"At that time, she spent a lot of money to rent the facade. Counting the decoration cost and the purchase of various musical instruments, the initial investment was very high, but there were problems in the follow-up operation, which led to the current situation. It is very difficult to live. .”

When Li An heard what Wei Sanwan said, he was also reminding himself that he should be more cautious about starting an organization. Maybe a lack of perspective could take all his wealth into it.

Seeing that a sister who once took such good care of him is now in a difficult situation, he can't do anything else for the time being. He can only introduce some musical instrument business to the other party to express his heart.

Helping the other party open a New Year's card is also a good fortune.
-
Before going to bed at night, Li An came to the study and opened Ji Yang's gift.

Open the box and find this exquisite silver pen inside.

He fell in love with this pen immediately, and decided that all children's growth records in the future will be completed with this pen.

Pick up the little card in the box: wish my teacher forever! !Sincerely, Xiao Ji!
eh————

A moment, thank you, Ji Yang.

Put the card back into the box, carefully put the pen into the transparent pencil case on the computer desk, Li An turned off the light, exited the study and locked the door.

Upon returning to the bedroom, Chen Xuan got up from the bed, "Come on."

"What's wrong?" He leaned over.

Chen Xuan played him six flute performance clips on her mobile phone, each clip was about half a minute long.

After hearing this, Ang Lee asked, "It's all the children's bragging."

Chen Xuan: "Yes, if you were to choose three of these six children to join the band selection, which three would you choose?"

Ang Lee: "Play it again and I'll listen."

Chen Xuan changed the order and played the six clips again. This time, Li An listened and then reported a set of numbers: "1, 4, 5."

Chen Xuan: "Ah?? No way."

Li Ang: "Uh, what's the problem?"
-
The morning meeting on the second Monday in March was a bit lively, with wind music teachers from four campuses gathered together.

Qin Yong deployed the focus of work for all campuses this week - the selection of orchestra members.

The selection of the first batch of orchestra members will come to an end. Before Wednesday, the teachers in charge of each department in each campus need to submit videos of students who are willing to participate in the selection for the first online selection.

"The selected students will undergo a second offline selection this Saturday."

Qin Yong was talking on it, all the teachers of the wind music group were seriously taking minutes of the meeting, and Li An sat in the last row and drove his own errands.

After the meeting, he had to call Mr. Qi to find some music theory questions.
