Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 372 73. The Lucky One's Answer
Rather than saying that Ang Lee likes to cook by himself, it is better to say that he likes to take the initiative in doing things in his own hands, although the reason for his frugal life cannot be ruled out.

The same is true for most of his work. He will not delay things that can be done in one day until the next day. He will spend more time thinking about things that are not sure.

"Let's watch after eating."

"Yeah, right now."
-
Chen Xuan occasionally didn't like Li An's clinging to work during meals or before going to bed, even though she was much more serious about this problem than the other party.

Responding to the sound, he swiped the screen twice again, Li An then put down the phone, opened the plastic soup bowl in front of him, and the aroma came out. This beef soup is a new discovery of Chen Xuan, and the two of them have ordered three times in half a month.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Chen Xuan stopped moving halfway through the dismantling, he looked down and saw a few cilantro floating in the other party's soup bowl, and said with a smile, "Next time, please make a note to ask the boss to give you an extra piece of meat."

Chen Xuan shook her head. Last time she made a note, the boss probably didn’t notice it. Just like today, the two bowls brought by the rider contained coriander, and today the boss may not have noticed, but she did forget to write a note today. During the delivery, her mind was full of the tunes she practiced in the morning.

“Forgot when ordering.”

As she spoke, she unpacked the cutlery bag, took out a spoon and began to pick out the coriander from the bowl, Li An helped her, and picked out all the coriander in her bowl in a few strokes.

"That piece was indeed a designated piece for a competition."

After receiving the wet wipes from Li An, Chen Xuan wiped the spoon, and the conversation turned back to the afternoon arrangements. The two planned to go to the supermarket to buy something today.

Li An: "Let's leave at 05:30. I just have a meal and go shopping around to buy something. I can practice the piano in the evening, so I won't delay the afternoon."

Seeing that Li An didn't answer the last half of the sentence, Chen Xuan nodded and replied: "Okay."

After the meal, the two set the alarm clock and fell asleep for a while, and got up together at [-]:[-] and went to their own rooms.
-
Chen Xuan quickly entered the state at the beginning of the afternoon, and started repertoire practice 10 minutes later.

Li An started a little later here, and he spent half an hour carefully reading the judges' workbook.

He didn't miss any of the parts related to the scoring standards. There are ten items in total. Listing them out alone gives people a sense of déjà vu.

It can be seen from the rigor that the Rongcheng Cup is indeed more professional than the Blue Sky Cup.

He did not question the professionalism of the other five judges in their group. Judging from the length of the profiles of the six, he was still the most immature.

The most sophisticated one is Huo Xiaodong's profile, which is a template for a winner in life at a glance.

Retweet it to show your support.

Putting down his phone, Li An started the afternoon practice.

The first stage of practice for 740 has ended, and today he officially enters the second stage of practice, which he expects to complete around the end of June.
-
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when the two returned home with big bags and small bags. During the shopping period, Li An received a call from the old side. On the phone, the old side kept saying sorry to him, saying that he would treat him another day to apologize.

Li An didn't dare to drink with this old man anymore, but he was still very happy to sit down with him and get in touch with him.

The two agreed to wait for the promotional video of the art examination department to get together again.

When they got home, Chen Xuan played with 6 for a while and then went to practice flute. Li An went back to the study and called home, asked about Lao Li's legs, and then asked about the nurse at grandma's house. In [-] minutes, Lao Li asked him to hurry up.

OK, everything is fine.

Hang up the phone, practice the piano, blame the phone, practice the piano.

This is Teacher Li An's public holiday.

Before going to bed at night, the young couple swiped their mobile phones every day, and Chen Xuan swiped to the clip of Lao Pa playing the flute. These two days when he opened a certain sound were these pushes.

"Don't you hear his voice is very good?"

"great."

"Look at it."

Li An smiled and looked sideways. At this moment, on the screen of Chen Xuan's mobile phone, a fat middle-aged foreign man who looked handsome when he was young is playing a piece he has never heard on the stage. After watching it for a while, he Ask, "What level does this person belong to in the international flute competition?"

"Of course it's the ceiling within the ceiling." Chen Xuan took it for granted.

Li Ang nodded, and after a while returned his eyes to his mobile phone screen, "How are these top flute players of yours so famous? They also participated in some international competitions when they were young and won prizes and were discovered, just like many legendary piano masters nowadays. They all won the Chopin Prize when they were young."

Chen Xuan: "It's about the same, but the flute is definitely a niche instrument compared to the piano, so the flute competition is not very popular."

Li Ang: "Oh? Do you have any flute competitions that you think are awesome in your circle?"

Chen Xuan: "Actually, there are quite a few, such as the comprehensive ARD, Nelson, and the Kobe flute competition with special categories, Falunbel, Krakoff, all of which are very powerful competitions."

Li An: "Then, has anyone from your school won prizes in these competitions? It stands to reason that the flute major of your college and the flute major of Haiyuan should be the highest in our domestic field."

Chen Xuan: "Tch, we must be better. One of my seniors won the Kobe Award in 17."

Li Ang: "I hear you look down on the Shanghai Academy?"

Chen Xuan: "I don't mean that, but we are better at orchestral. I can't tell. You can ask Brother Yong, see if he dares to say that their department is better than ours."

Li Ang: "Come on, why wouldn't he dare to be a crazy school nurse? Didn't you participate in any competitions during college?"

Chen Xuan: "I also participated."

Paused, "It's just a small game."

Li Ang: "You also participate in the Kobe competition. If we become famous and have a family, we will live in Daping in the future, right? You earn money to support your family, and I will be responsible for carrying your bags and cooking for you. Occasionally, I can also make guest appearances for you. Take the steel companion."

Chen Xuan laughed: "Nonsense again."

Li Ang: "I'm serious, hey, Chen Xuan, you can find a competition to try."

Chen Xuan suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked with some doubts, "What are you doing?"

Li Ang was taken aback, and then sat up: "Hey, think about it, let's not talk about the competition, no kidding, let's just talk about the kind of competition that sounds like a tiger."

Chen Xuan: "..huh?"

Li An: "Look at me, I won a special prize of the Xinhai Cup by playing crookedly. I still teach those things now, but I dare to charge five hundred and eight hundred. I have more confidence than before, and people are willing to pay this money. Then As for you, sometimes the aura of Huayuan can't cover you, I think you should go to a competition to participate in it as soon as possible, so that you can win a prize, and let's pack it later, isn't it right? "

"I've reached the threshold. Those things that I didn't like before and thought they were flashy, but now I look at them, they are better than nothing."

"Think about it, do we have a lot of domestic competitions?"

Chen Xuan was stunned by Li An. How could such words come out of Li An's mouth, but it seemed that it was true. "There are many domestic competitions every year."

Li An clapped his hands together: "Set a goal for yourself this year, participate in three or four, and try to win an award. It's best to find the one hosted by your school. It's high-level, and there is Teacher Xiao here. Let's take one firmly." According to our two-month income, our studio will be able to hang up by the end of next year at the latest. At that time, our big photos and resumes will be hung on the wall. , we have both face and face."

Chen Xuan's phone slipped: ".Are you serious?"

Li An didn't seem to have heard Chen Xuan's words, and was still immersed in his own narrative description, "I will find another opportunity this year to bring students to the program of Rongcheng TV Station, make careful preparations, and make a good name for myself."

moment,

"Why do you think I attach so much importance to the video of the Art Examination Department? We have to seize every opportunity to promote ourselves."

Speaking of which, Ang Li turned his head, looked at Chen Xuan and sighed softly, "Sometimes no one knows the way of the future, but we can be sure of one thing, we are destined to work in this industry for the rest of our lives, so some things must be done early. "

Chen Xuan frowned: "Why didn't you tell me about this before?"

Li An smiled: "Isn't that just the beginning? Of course, I also want to think about some things purely, but don't forget, whether you play the D major or I play the E flat major, both It is not a pure work of art. We don’t need to guess the original intention of the composers to write these things. They must be to solve life first, so our feelings for music cannot be separated from life. If we want a good life, we cannot do without wealth. Take advantage of the wealth we have created with our hands."

Chen Xuan: "Have you always thought so?"

"No," Li An sighed, "I just paid the rent last week, and my heart feels like a knife, and I haven't recovered yet."

"Pfft," Chen Xuan laughed at Li An's aggrieved expression, "What a mess, to put it bluntly, the fundamental purpose of your wanting me to participate in the competition is to earn back your rent."

Li An laughed, and leaned over to Chen Xuan's pillow, "This is just a small goal, the big goal is the big level."

At this moment, Chen Xuan couldn't tell whether Li An was real or not, but feeling the feeling of the other party snuggling beside her at this moment, it didn't seem to matter whether it was real or not.

Indeed, she felt a little uncomfortable from some of Li An's remarks just now. In her eyes, Li An's love for the piano has always exuded a kind of purity, especially the hazy state of the other party's immersion in the performance, which has a kind of feeling for her. fatal attraction.

Everything gave her the feeling that Ang Lee was born for the piano.

Then Ang Lee said, I actually want a good life.

She couldn't tell for a while, as if there was some irreconcilable contradiction between the pursuit of art and the pursuit of a good life.

Thinking about it now, she felt quite ashamed of herself.

On the road of learning art, she has always been smooth sailing, using musical instruments well, having famous teachers and good teachers, and all the setbacks seem to be in the process of her own growth.

Although she said that she would rely on her own efforts to break away from the family, when the two of them seriously talked about the start-up funds for the future classes for the first time, the first thing she thought of was that she could solve the problem just by talking to her family.

Although she is also working hard to earn and save money, compared to Li An, she finds that she has never escaped from a psychological comfort zone.

In this comfort zone, music seemed to put a sacred veil on her heart, but when she took it off, she realized that no matter Xiaomi A or Xiaomi B, what was exposed was a pretentious and narrow pattern. .

I am afraid of delaying making money, but I am not afraid of not making money in the end.

It's not ridiculous.

I am worried that I will not be able to leave a perfect stage, and I will not be able to draw a perfect end to my youth.

It's not ridiculous.

Those who really have the courage to face themselves, even in the finals when faced with field accidents caused by command errors, can calmly improvise to the last moment, then respond to the command with a hug, and face the judges and audience with a smile and a ninety-degree bow.

Who can say that such a full stop is not perfect.

Chen Xuan seems to understand a lot at once, music and life are never separated.

The notes themselves have no emotion, it is the composer who endows them with soul, and the performer endows them with heartfelt voice. Gradually, she seems to be able to accept some of Ang Lee's views on music.

Those occasional absurd remarks that she had never heard before were alive in her heart at this moment.

She thought there should be another world that she hadn't experienced.

Perhaps the touching part of Ang Lee's farewell is that he may have really lost something.

She suddenly felt that she was simply the happiest person in the world.

Thousands of thoughts entangled back and forth in a moment, and finally became an answer.

For this competition, she has an answer in her heart.

But she decided not to tell the other party first, and give the other party a surprise in a few days.

When she regained her senses, she realized that the person who was lying next to her pillow just now had picked up her phone and swiped it.

From the corner of the eye, Chen Xuan couldn't help laughing at the profile of Li An earnestly swiping his phone. The other party must not have imagined what happened tonight.

If Ang Lee had noticed something, she would definitely not be able to tell at noon that she had something else to say with that piece of music, but the other party didn't pick up on it. After yesterday's Mozart recording, she really wanted to confess to the other party about her state in this section today. Yes, after all, there is only one week left before the registration, and she wants the other party to help her pay attention, but she hasn't found a suitable phone yet.

Now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

As if shrouded in a sense of fate, Chen Xuan felt an indescribable sense of happiness in her heart.

At this moment, she just wants to turn the other party into a rope, tied around her neck forever.

"What if the rent is lost by then?" She turned her head and asked.

"What?" Li An turned his head, "What did you pay for???"

Chen Xuan smiled, "Didn't you ask me to participate in the competition to earn your rent? I said what if I didn't make any money in the end and got paid?"

"If you lose, you will lose it. Next time, you can earn it back with Lian." Li An said indifferently and moved closer to Chen Xuan. He raised his phone and asked, "What do you think of this?"

"Mother's Day is coming soon, I want to buy something for my mother, and last time Auntie Song bothered to help my father sort out the medical examination items, I have never had a chance to express it, can you take a look at this thing?"

Chen Xuan: What is an excellent boyfriend.
-
Two hours later, a night of nothing.

Early the next morning, at the entrance of Yudong's office building, Li An asked Chen Xuan to go up first, and he went to buy breakfast.

As soon as he walked into the convenience store, he saw Wang Xiaohulai humming to Xu Li who was beside the snack shelf.
