the longest dream

Chapter 5 Rumors
"real or fake?"

After Qi Juan winked at Liu Shanshan, who turned around and snickered at her, she moved her head closer to Zhang Qing and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever recited notation?"

Zhang Qing seemed to be in shock himself, staring blankly at the numbers on the paper, shaking his head and saying, "What am I doing with it..."

Qi Juan became more startled when she heard the words, she stared at Zhang Qing with piercing eyes and said, "Don't tell me, you in Xijiang have been teaching solfeggio since childhood."

Sight-singing and ear training are divided into two parts: sight-singing and auditory training. Sight-singing is the skill of reading and singing after getting a sheet of music, and ear training is auditory training, usually listening to the sounds played on the piano.

Sight-singing is fine, the key is ear training, which usually starts with children, and when they grow up, they will not be able to learn absolute pitch.Unless you are very talented, an unborn genius.

And train children to rely on hearing to distinguish intervals, chords, and rhythms. They can accurately record the sounds or tunes they hear with staves. They must also be able to hear and identify chords, analyze the properties and functions of chords, and be able to sing intervals and chords accordingly. .

At least, according to Qi Juan's conditions, she has never learned it.

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "I'm born with perfect pitch."

What is obtained in the dream can only be attributed to nature.

Qi Juan looked at Zhang Qing for a while, praised "tsk", and laughed again: "It's amazing. When are you going to my bar? Qingshui bar, most of them are playing music. Let them see too, we high school students There are geniuses here, too."

Zhang Qing smiled wryly and said, "What kind of genius am I..."

Qi Juan raised her eyebrows and said, "It doesn't count if you have such a talent? Why don't you think about music."

Zhang Qing thought for a while and said, "If our wheat field has a few more years of good harvests, I will definitely be able to afford the tuition for art."

No matter which era, studying art is the most expensive.

Qi Juan smiled and said, "What's for dinner? The school cafeteria?"

……

Jiefang Village, Shita City, Xijiang Province.

The Zhang family, looking at the letter delivered by the postman, Zhang Guozhong and Sun Yuehe looked at Zhang Lan anxiously.

The couple suffered from illiteracy all their lives, so they went out of their way to support their children to study.

Zhang Lan took the letter and read it aloud: "Mom and Dad, I'm fine in Jiangjing City, don't read it. There is also good news for you. Several articles I wrote last semester were selected by a magazine in Shanghai, so I paid [-] yuan for the manuscript! Wow!!"

Zhang Lan jumped up in surprise, the patched clothes were loosely worn on her body, and the cloth shoes under her feet had holes in her feet, but it didn't affect her joy at this time in the slightest.

She quickly opened the envelope wide, and she took out a remittance slip from inside. After reading it through, she said loudly to Zhang Guozhong and Sun Yuehe: "It's really nine hundred yuan! Dad, Mom, it's really good Already!"

Zhang Lan didn't know what it was to cry with joy, but at the end of the shout, her throat choked up for some reason.

Of course, the tuition can be postponed until the winter, and the payment will be made after the loan is settled.

But if this is the case, you have to endure the repeated reminders from the school, the blank eyes of the teachers, and the disgusting eyes of the students...

But children from poor families are more sensible. After Zhang Lan hurriedly handed over the remittance slip to Sun Yuehe, she began to read the letter again: "This is the first one. The magazine said that there will be another one next month. It must be bigger than nine." More than a hundred, maybe one or two thousand. I have enough for my side. Don’t be in a hurry to pay back the money. Parents should take care of their health first. You still have to go to the county hospital. Zhang Lan’s tuition can’t be delayed anymore. And she's a girl, it's time for a new dress, I saw it when I was at home, she was wearing mother's clothes, it didn't fit her well. And shoes..."

"Your brother really wrote this? You didn't just read it yourself, did you?"

Sun Yuehe felt that something was wrong and said suspiciously.

Zhang Lan jumped up angrily, took the letter to Sun Yuehe, and said, "Look at it, look at it, Mom, look at it yourself, did I say one more word?"

Sun Yuehe looked at her daughter's red eyes, and said with a smile: "Shaoxing!" After a little hesitation, she nodded and said, "Okay, then do as your brother said. Send your father to the county hospital first to have a look and change some medicines Eat. If there is any left over, I will buy clothes and shoes for you. Last time I said I bought it for you, but the one who killed a thousand dollars lied to us."

Last month, I saw that the clothes on Zhang Lan were really outrageous, and the shoes were torn. The school had a sports meeting and had to wear canvas sneakers. Sun Yuehe took two chickens and went to the market with Zhang Lan to sell them. After selling, If you can't buy a good one, you should still be able to afford the cheapest one.

The price of two chickens is [-], which is too expensive after waiting for a long time.

After finally waiting for a woman dressed in western style to come, she got out of a Santana car and gave a piece of [-] without counter-offering. Sun Yuehe exhausted all the money on her body before finding it.

After they took the chicken and drove away, Sun Yuehe and Zhang Lan went to the shoe stall to buy shoes, but when they took the money and saw it, they said it was fake.

The mother and father were terrified, and changed their homes again, saying it was fake.

Zhang Lan will never forget that afternoon, when it rained suddenly, her mother Sun Yuehe was crying in the market.

It was also the first time she truly realized the evil of human nature.

But the peasants are strong after all, and they finally survived...

No, all the hard work is coming!

I really hope that her brother will become more and more capable in the future and can send more money back...

"It's not good, my brother is in his third year of high school this year. I heard people say that this year is the most troublesome year. Why don't I ask my brother not to send money and send less next month. He has to take care of himself and can't always eat pickles. pimple……"

Zhang Lan said to Zhang Guozhong and Sun Yuehe.

Since Zhang Guozhong got kidney disease, he hasn't said a few more words throughout the year. If he was not worried that he would disappear, the family would be broken up. He would have hung himself on a tree to die like the old man of Gui's family in the east of the village.

Hearing Zhang Lan's words at this moment, Zhang Guozhong seldom opened his mouth, nodded and said: "Let's write a letter to your brother like this. Say that the family is good, and your mother and I are also good. Don't worry about him. Let him study hard and look like a man." Come."

……

"What did Qi Juan tell you today?"

Back to the dormitory after dinner, Zhang Qing was surrounded by seven roommates and forced to ask questions.

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "What can I say?"

The third child, Li Qiang, winked and said, "Seventh child, you're hiding something! Class leader Qi is the absolute beauty of our No. [-] Middle School in Jiangjing City. Although she is usually generous, she has never seen her get so close to any boy. Whisper."

Qiu Lin, the fifth child, reminded: "This matter has spread throughout the grades. Seventh child, be careful. There are at least two hundred people in our school who like Qi Juan. Those in the student union are not easy to mess with."

Zhang Qing said helplessly: "She just saw that I like music class and suggested that I take music. What kind of character does her classmates not understand?"

Everyone started laughing when they heard the words, and the boss Liu Long said: "Yes, she is warm to everyone, especially those with poor conditions. People are very kind..."

Zhang Qing shrugged and said, "I said that if our family's wheat field can harvest a few more years, maybe we can make up enough money for a big music class, and Qi Juan will have nothing to say."

Everyone laughed loudly, saying that Zhang Qing is a toad.

Zhang Qing laughed at himself, put ink and a stack of letter paper in his school bag, and went out.

These roommates are not bad, Zhang Qing always only buys rice in the cafeteria, and eats with pickles brought from home.

Several roommates take turns to share food for him almost every day, and if they don’t eat, they look down on them.

It's just the turmoil of young people, which is unreasonable.

A goddess like Qi Juan can be seen from a distance and not be played with in everyone's mind, and neither can Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing naturally understands this truth, so if he says something that reassures them and spreads it, it will save a lot of trouble.

How could he have time now to fall into these rumors.
