Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 380 81. Five Fingers You Can't Reach Out

After the rehearsal, Qin Yong treated guests to a street stall.

After it was over, Li An remembered that there was still something to do. He asked Wang Panpan to sort out the mistakes he found in the handout exercises and send them to him.

"Okay boss, I'll tidy up when I get back."

Li An said no, "Don't worry, just send it to me before noon tomorrow, go back and rest early."

"Let's go, brother Yong, pay attention to safety on the road."

"You two should rest early when you go back. You have been tired all day."

"Bye bye, bye bye Panpan."

"Bye bye sister Xuan, see you tomorrow."

At the intersection, the four of them waved to each other. It could be seen that each of them had different degrees of exhaustion written on their faces.

Everyone needs to rest well tonight.

On the taxi home, Chen Xuan asked Li An if he could spare time next Thursday night,

Next Thursday will be No.18. Chen Xuan has been in Rongcheng for a whole year, so there is nothing special about it. She thinks it’s fine to just spend it on a daily basis. During the meal just now, he heard Li An and Qin Yong discussing an offer for Fu Tianming next week. Wen Xiao had dinner and talked about the production of the promotional video and the promotion plan.

There was something in the words, Li An could hear it, and responded: "Okay."

Of course he knows that ten o'clock in the evening on the 18th is the deadline for the registration of this year's Falun Bell International Flute Competition. He guessed that Chen Xuan might want to add a sense of ceremony to this registration, so it is understandable for him to spare this day. The line is stretched, Chen Xuan has waited for more than four years to participate in this game, and he has the same idea as the opponent, leaving Thursday vacant.

But he still thought about it, "Want to watch a movie on Thursday?" He asked with a smile.

Chen Xuan directly vetoed it: "I don't want to, I just want to be at home with you."

Seeing this, Li An put away his smile, and pondered for a moment: "Why don't you run away from the club class next Thursday, and let Shi Qi take over a class for you, and teach the children the music theory of staves, if it's just a class, Is it okay?"

Chen Xuan: "No, I will take a taxi back after class, it will be very fast."

Ang Lee: "Stubborn."

Chen Xuan didn't answer, but complained, "You haven't made dumplings for a long time."

Li An nodded, and clasped his little hand tightly in his palm. He responded in a drawn-out tone, "Cabbage and pork."

The driver gave Li An a thumbs up in his heart, he also likes pork and cabbage.

A long and fulfilling Saturday came to an end. When they got home, they played with Ba Wan for a while before washing up and going to bed.

Before going to bed, Li An swiped to the circle of friends posted by Lao Tang half an hour ago.

Thanks to my alma mater, to Teacher Qi, to my parents, to all the brothers and sisters in Qi’s class, to 211 and 104, to the county magistrate Wu and Mr. Jin, to your company, to the seven years that have passed by, and to the luck Share this moment with you, I am graduating!Looking forward to seeing you at the next stop. '

After reading Lao Tang's copywriting, Li An's eyes fell on the Jiugongge photo below.

It can be seen that every photo is a story, recording Lao Tang's growth from youth to maturity.

In the middle one, Lao Tang is standing on the left, and on the right is a girl with long hair holding a violin. The person on the right of the girl can’t recognize Wu Fusheng unless you look carefully.

He laughed, it turned out that Wu Fusheng was a little fat man when he was a freshman.

The three of them smiled brightly.

Ang Lee likes this feeling, it's great.

like.

'Congratulations to Master Tang. '

"Good night, Teacher Chen."

Li An turned his head as he spoke, then checked the alarm clock and put his mobile phone beside his pillow.

Then he gently reached out and took the other party's mobile phone from Chen Xuan's hand. The ID face recognized his face, and the screen lit up again, showing the page of Tao Piao Piao.

Helping Chen Xuan stretch her two arms, Li An turned his head and turned off the lights, and lay down to cover the two of them.

After an unknown amount of time, a rustling sound came from the living room.

With a bang, Bawan jumped onto the bed, lay down at Li An's feet in two steps, and wrapped himself up with his tail.

Silent all night.
-
The next morning Li An had just finished Wang Qichun's class when he picked up his phone and received a message from Wang Panpan.

Clicking on it was as he expected, it was a loophole in the exercises organized by the other party.

There are five questions in total, and the page numbers and question numbers are clearly marked.

Bawanyi: Thank you for your hard work.

Then he sent another red envelope to Chen Xuan: please have a cup of milk tea for Panpan at noon.

Putting down his phone, he started the third online class, Li Yiran, who has been doing well recently.

"Yo, is this skinny again?"

In the video, "Dare not dare, Mr. Li is good."
-
After half a month of hard work, Li Yiran finally got his etude. When the class was over, he really wanted to thank him for his hard work during this time, and also thanked Teacher Li for his generosity.

"Thank you, teacher."

In the video, Ang Lee smiled, "Thank you, I will listen to your etude next week, go, call Yang Shuangyu."

Li An originally thought that this morning would go well, because the first three children went well, but he didn't expect that the person who overturned the car today was Yang Shuangyu.

It was the first time that Yang Shuangyu did not perform the homework of the previous class in Li An's class, which was a turnaround in the eyes of both teachers and students.

The difference is that Ang Lee didn't criticize Yang Shuangyu, and Yang Shuangyu felt that he should be criticized.

Li An announced the dismissal of the class in advance when it was five or ten minutes into the get out of class.

"Miss Li, I'm sorry."

Xiao Yang in the video looked a little ashamed, probably to ease the atmosphere, Li An lit a cigarette, "I haven't practiced less this week."

Yang Shuangyu nodded.

Li An guessed right away that although Yang Shuangyu hadn't entered the system classroom yet, he could hear and see that the other party's state was very unstable recently.

"Anxiety?" he asked.

Yang Shuangyu didn't hear clearly, "Teacher, what did you say?"

Li An dusted off the cigarette, leaned closer to the screen and said loudly, "Call me."

Not long after hanging up the video, Yang Shuangyu called.

He picked it up, "It's time to come to Rongcheng, aren't you a little anxious?"

Yang Shuangyu's shy voice came from the phone, "It's a bit."

Li An comforted: "Don't worry, we have already arranged for you here. When you come, you will still feel like you are in Zhiyuan. You eat, sleep, go to class and practice the piano every day. It is nothing more than meeting some new friends and classmates again."

Yang Shuangyu: "I know Teacher."

For a moment, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to keep up with everyone."

Li Anxin said that if your level is fundamental, it is hard for him to imagine the average level of other children. However, as a child from a small place, he can understand Yang Shuangyu's psychology. He always feels that there are talented people everywhere. , I can't go anywhere.

Yang Shuangyu is relatively special. Li An used to have no reference, and he was not sure what level he was in his hometown before he left his hometown. Yang Shuangyu knew that he was already the professional boss of Zhiyuan. environment, the uneasiness in my heart will inevitably be greater.

"It's a good thing if you can't keep up. If you can't keep up, it means that you have more room for improvement. Don't you still want to go abroad to see in the future? Every step in life should be a new beginning. Don't think about how you were before. If you want to continue What do you do when you get down?"

For a moment, "Thank you teacher, I understand."

Li An smiled: "Thank you, it seems that you don't understand these things. Children of your generation are not stupid. They understand more principles than adults. They just think too much. It's okay, don't practice piano this week. Now, loosen the strings for yourself, you can practice if you want, play what you want to play before you don’t have time to play, or practice your voice, read a book and do something else, don’t focus on the piece in your hand, you can’t go home Stay for a while, and organize your thoughts. Teacher Qi called me that day and asked me when I would let you come over. I originally planned to let you come before May [-]st, but I am a bit busy on May [-]st. You can do it after May [-]st. Around the eighth, Ang, I'll fix it for you, so don't think about it."

After getting the exact time, Yang Shuangyu on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief, her voice sounded a little higher, "Thank you teacher, what should I prepare in advance?"

Li An: "There's nothing to prepare, just bring what you wear and use less. I'll talk to him later when your father calls me."

Yang Shuangyu: "Then?"

Ang Lee: "Then what?"

Seeing the faltering on the phone, Li An continued: "What's the matter, tell me."

After a while, "Teacher, can't Li Zheng come with me?"

Li Ang: "How is he recently?"

Yang Shuangyu: "I practiced very hard."

Ang Lee: "Do you keep in touch every day?"

Yang Shuangyu: "Well, I chat with my mobile phone every night."

Ang Lee: "How is he doing recently?"

Yang Shuangyu: "It's not very good. I feel that he is more anxious than me. It may be because his professional foundation is weaker. In addition, his father is very close and forces him to practice from morning to night every day. Anyway, he gives me the feeling that , he doesn't want to practice, or sometimes he is too tired and wants to take a break, and then his father scolds him for not being up to date, and he doesn't dare to say anything and can only bear it."

Li An frowned: "What else did he say?"

Yang Shuangyu thought for a while: "There's nothing else, by the way, he asked you."

Ang Lee: "Ask me what?"

Yang Shuangyu: "Just ask my uncle if he is okay."

Ang Lee: "What do you say?"

Yang Shuangyu: "I said it's pretty good."

There was silence on the phone for a moment, and after a while, "Teacher, actually I have something to say to you, I don't know if I can say it."

Ang Lee: "Just say it."

Yang Shuangyu: "I can probably think of some, because Li Zheng is your nephew, so you must have higher demands on him than us, but Li Zheng really tried his best. We have played together since junior high school. I know him well. , although his grades are poor, but he is very honest. I think he is not in a good state now. I am worried that he will have some psychological problems. The day before yesterday he posted a QQ update, saying that he could not see his fingers. He has always been very optimistic sunny."

Ang Li: "Thank you, I understand, don't tell him we made this call, understand."

Yang Shuangyu: "I understand, I understand, teacher, don't worry."

Li An: "Okay, don't worry about him, just make good adjustments recently, you don't have to go to class next week, and wait for your parents to inform you later."

Yang Shuangyu: "Teacher, I want to go!"

Li Ang: "Okay, see you next week, let's go to dinner."

Putting down the phone, Li An felt as if a stone had been placed on his heart. Isn't this Li Fu fooling around? How can there be such a practice method for wind music, and the way of guiding is wrong. The children have tried so hard, what are you doing?

Although Li An didn't have much contact with Li Zheng, he could feel it, just like Yang Shuangyu said, he was a very honest and sunny boy.

How can people feel a little hopeless when they can't see their fingers.

"what happened?"

Chen Xuan, who was making lunch, saw Li An coming out of the study with a gloomy face, stopped and asked, "Who did you call?"

Li An told the story, and Chen Xuan also felt that Li Fu's approach was a bit too much. As a wind instrument player, she knew better that strength is needed to practice wind music, especially at the elementary learning stage like Li Zheng. Practice may even be counterproductive, causing children to practice problems.

"is it?"

When Li An heard this, he blamed himself even more. He rubbed his temples, no, he had to call Li Fu immediately.

"You eat first, don't wait for me."

Seeing Li An turn around and go back to the house, Chen Xuan set up lunch, chopsticks and milk tea, and went back to the bedroom to change her socks and underwear.

Back at the dinner table, Chen Xuan picked up her mobile phone and checked the express delivery number. The Mother's Day gifts ordered for the two mothers had already been delivered.

After 15 minutes, Li An's complexion improved a lot when he came out again.

"Come and eat."

Chen Xuan didn't ask too much. Although she didn't know what conflicts existed between Li An and Li Fu's relatives, she knew that Li An must have her own reasons. Shangxin, let alone a relative's child.

"It is estimated that Auntie's will arrive first."

Li An said, "When did you place the order?"

Chen Xuan smiled triumphantly: "Last night at the food stall."

Li An sat down: "I will transfer the money to you later."

Chen Xuan handed over the chopsticks: "Why, I'll leave it to you for Mother's Day next year."

Li An took it: "Wait until next year? Next month's Father's Day, I will prepare uncle's gift."

Chen Xuan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the words changed to, "Within 300 yuan."

Li An smiled: "Don't worry, I am a person who understands life management so well, don't I?"

Chen Xuan rolled her eyes: "Cut."

Seeing Li An smiled, Chen Xuan was fine, "Start it, I'm starving to death."

Ang Lee picked up his milk tea cup and took a sip. It was nice, it was his favorite iced Americano.

After the meal, Li An received a video from Li Fu. Li Zheng recorded the video yesterday afternoon, and Li An showed it to Chen Xuan. After listening to it, Chen Xuan gave a thumbs up: "It's much better than last time."

Li An was puzzled: "It's true or not, why do I sound the same?"

Chen Xuan immediately showed an expression of "You dare to question me as a piano player": "First, his breathing has improved significantly; second, his continuous pronunciation is correct. Compare it with the last video, it is completely It’s different, and thirdly, have you noticed that his bass and mid-range timbres have a sense of unity.”

Li Ang played it again: "It seems to be, but it becomes a bit crowded when it reaches the high note."

Chen Xuan was speechless: "Look at how long it has been between these two videos. Such an improvement in a month is already very impressive. Wind music is not like keyboard instruments. No matter what sound range or sound, just press it No matter how loud it is, it doesn’t matter who presses it, each of our high notes needs to be practiced a little bit of time.”

Hearing this, Li An felt much relieved, "That means he's practiced well this month."

Chen Xuan nodded seriously: "The teacher is right in teaching, and he is also right in practicing."

"Okay, wind music is up to you." Li Zheng's teacher was found by Qi Yunsong, thinking that Qi Yunsong and Li An almost forgot, and was disturbed by Yang Shuangyu's phone call, so he casually sent the exercises Wang Panpan had sorted out to Qi Yunsong, Li An Then he sent another message to Li Fu.

'Let the child relax for a few days. I've seen his mouth turn red in the video. You just wait for my letter. It will not be later than May [-]th at the latest. Prepare for him in advance. '

Then he found Li Zheng's WeChat, thought about it and edited, "Rongcheng has become hot recently, let your mother prepare more summer clothes for you, I watched the video." '

Before clicking send, his thumb in mid-air stopped.

-

Yucheng.

Lijiazhuang.

The phone next to the pillow vibrated suddenly, and Li Zheng, who was half asleep and half awake, sat up at once.

Picking up the phone and seeing the message from Remark'Uncle', he became sober for a moment.

"The sun in Rongcheng is particularly sunny recently, so let your mother prepare more summer clothes for you. I watched the video and am proud of you." '

The moment he grinned, Li Zheng burst into tears from the pain.
