Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 262 257. Remuneration
A quarter past eight in the evening.

Ji Chengguang's car slowly stopped at the east gate of Wanhe mansion.

It was already dark outside the window, and the bright street lights shone into the car through the windshield.

Both Li An and Ji Chengguang had a tired look on their faces.

For twelve hours, Ji Yang participated in the preliminary examinations of five schools and the re-examinations of two schools.

Four 10 minutes ago, she ended her last exam of the day with a great performance.

The re-examination of Linjiang University.

She played the entire third movement of Moonlight.

It is a day of tossing, a day of rush, and a day of harvest.

She is fast asleep now.

The car was steady, and the sound of even breathing came from behind. Li An glanced back, and Ji Yang raised his face, drooling from his half-open mouth.

The child is exhausted.

"Ms. Li, let's go down and order one."

The two got out of the car and came to the garbage disposal area at the entrance of the campus. Ji Chengguang lit a cigarette for Li An, and the two quickly finished smoking.

"If you don't call Teacher Chen, let's eat something nearby."

After snuffing out the cigarette butt, Ji Chengguang sent out another invitation.

Li An waved his hand: "You're welcome, quickly take Ji Yang to eat something and let her go back to rest and go to bed early, and don't come here tomorrow morning, I'll take a taxi and go there by myself, you just need to concentrate on being with her."

"She needs you more."

After spending a day with Ji Yang's father and daughter, Li An could feel that Ji Yang needed Ji Chengguang's company from the bottom of his heart.

Tomorrow is such an important moment, thinking that having dad's company all the way will make Xiao Ji feel more at ease.

Lao Ji nodded: "Okay, I'll find a car tomorrow morning."

Li An sighed lightly.

"Brother Ji."

"How long have we known each other?"

He said with a smile, "Don't bother."

Then he took out his own cigarette from his pocket, lit it for Ji Chengguang, and the two continued smoking.

"I also hope that she can pass the Rongyuan exam smoothly."

"Our mood is the same."

moment.

"I understand you."

A gust of evening wind blew, and the few strands of hair on the top of Lao Ji's head were blown to the other side. His whole body looked a little sloppy, and he was no longer as energetic as he was in the morning.

In his early forties, he was in the prime of life, and the old Ji was almost bald.

"Thank you."

When a person reaches middle age, an understanding is over the mountain.

Under the street lamp, he held a cigarette in his right hand and took a sharp sip. Date-colored grease was oozing from the raised cheekbones on both sides, and the vicissitudes and tortures of a middle-aged man seemed to be hidden in the clear wrinkles on his forehead.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li An felt a little moved.

From the first time he walked into the living room of Ji Yang's house to the gate until now, his relationship with Ji Chengguang and Hu Rong has almost changed in several stages.

Of course, there are also changes in his mentality and things he doesn't know.

This is really too short to say.

It was the first time to come to the luxury villa area of ​​Guanshan No. [-] compound surrounded by mountains, and Li An made his debut as Ji Yang's training partner.

However, the first time he did not see the child himself.

Instead, I had a discussion with Hu Rong about the sparring class first.

Hu Rong answered a few questions.

Behind every question, he could feel the oppression brought by scrutiny.

Faced with this inherent inequality between classes, all he can do is to accept it without being humble or overbearing, and then use his experience and attitude to deeply analyze every question raised by Hu Rong.

In the end, he successfully won the living room interview and went upstairs to meet the child.

A very clever little girl, but full of questions, worse than what he heard in the living room on the first floor at the entrance.

But he can't say.

Because he knew that in the eyes of this family, he was just a practicing teacher, and his duty was to assist Ji Yang in practicing piano according to Professor Yu's teaching ideas.

At the time he didn't know what kind of family this was.

He was worried that the misfortune would come out of his mouth, and he would lose this hard-won opportunity.

A class of 240 is very important to him.

So at the initial stage, between Ji Yang's mistakes and his own class fees, he could only choose to be wise and protect himself.

However, there are some things that cannot be said, but can be done in private.

What to do with what money.

With a class fee of 240 yuan per class, even as a sparring teacher, he is using his sparring methods to influence Ji Yang little by little.

Let Ji Yang distinguish him from Professor Yu a little bit through his teaching and demonstration.

After following Li An's class for a period of time, Ji Yang discovered that this teacher Li is very good.

The couple noticed Ji Yang's obvious progress, and even though they didn't understand music, they could still listen to it.

The child has been with Professor Yu for so long, and has been speeding up under Professor Yu's emphasis for the past six months. However, the child's speed could not be raised until a new training partner was replaced.

Is it really just a coincidence that Ji Yang's qualitative improvement in playing speed only appeared after Ang Lee came?

The husband and wife put a question mark in their hearts. They are outsiders, and they have trusted Professor Yu for too long.

As the days of art exams approached day by day, Professor Yu, as the main course teacher, spent 1000 minutes talking with 15 yuan in a class, and he was concerned about when the child would change the piano all day long.

And that teacher Li, who only paid 240 yuan for a class, was sweating profusely after each class.

Comparing the two, it is still impossible to make a judgment.

Because they don't understand, in their eyes, Professor Yu is always the piano professor of Rongcheng Normal University.

Until one day we talked about Ji Yang going abroad.

After the after-school talk with Ang Li that night, Hu Rong was a little shocked.

Regarding Ji Yang's study abroad at the Art Department of Moscow State University, the information and perspective provided by An Li are completely different from those of Professor Yu.

But An Li never said anything wrong with Professor Yu from the beginning to the end, nor did he say that he did not advocate Ji Yang's going abroad.

Afterwards, Hu Rong inquired a lot about this issue, and came to the conclusion that Professor Yu took advantage of her long-standing desire to see her daughter become a phoenix, and was actually kept in the dark.

Think again about every word Li An said to them that night.

Although Li An never said anything wrong with Professor Yu, nor did he say that he did not advocate Ji Yang's going abroad, but every word and every word reminded her that there was still time, don't worry, learn more about it, and listen to the child more. idea.

From this incident, they saw Li An's rigor, decent speech, and wisdom in language. More importantly, they saw clearly who was really worrying about Ji Yang and who was only staring at them. pocket.

but.

After all, what they need is for Ji Yang to be admitted to a good school after a few months, and they need a teacher who can guarantee Ji Yang.

Even if Professor Yu is like this, they still have Rongcheng Normal University as a guarantee with a high probability.

At that time, Lao Ji held this kind of thought in his heart, and let Yangyang learn from Professor Yu for the time being.

After experiencing this incident, Hu Rong, who still had great expectations for her daughter, passed an amazing teacher skills assessment, and saw that the young accompanying teacher was different from the attention-grabbing demeanor of going to her home to attend classes.

Under the spotlight, Ang Lee was dressed in casual clothes, but like a performer, he finally knocked out that exciting set of chords.

That sound, like a thousand weights, was the final word.

Hu Rong is completely determined to change Ji Yang's main subject teacher.

But her eyes were more on Li An's back.

The most famous old man in the piano circle in Chengdu.

Women are more sensitive than men most of the time, and occasionally they will make decisions on some major issues based on their special feelings.

She wanted to send her daughter to the Music Department of Rongcheng Conservatory of Music through Li An's relationship with Wei Sanwan.

But Ji Chengguang, a man who started from scratch and now owns a villa, is not in a hurry to make a conclusion on this issue.

When he didn't know the specific situation of Wei Sanwan, he made it clear that Wei Sanwan's disciples were all over the city of Rongcheng, and it was impossible for everyone to get through this road through introductions.

After inquiring, this person's style is quite noble, and he is extremely harsh in accepting students.

Afterwards, Ji Chengguang asked Li An on the sidelines, if Yangyang's current level could try the piano department of Chengdu Conservatory of Music
Ang Lee gave an ambiguous answer, and he had to observe and observe.

He understands.

It's not relative, it's just that we've been together for less than two months, and he's still a training partner. If he were Li An, he wouldn't give any answer from any angle.

Not long after, he asked Ji Yang to ask Li An if he could learn from Mr. Wei in class, and Li An said no.

The reason is that Ji Yang can't meet Teacher Wei's threshold for the time being.

Based on Ji Chengguang's understanding of Li An, Ji Chengguang believed that Li An understood that it was he who asked this question through Ji Yang's mouth, and he believed that Li An knew that he knew that his daughter could not meet the threshold.

All he wanted was a chance to meet Teacher Wei.

But Li An didn't directly give him this opportunity.

Fortunately, the other party did not explicitly refuse.

He realized that he might not have shown any sincerity, or that Li An had discovered something.

There is one thing that Ji Chengguang still hides from Ji Yang.

When he asked Ji Yang to ask Li An if he could have a class with Teacher Wei, he didn't completely cut off contact with Professor Yu. He just took a few classes off for Professor Yu on Ji Yang's behalf.

He had to keep his hand in everything, and the reason he did so was because of the teacher-student relationship in this circle.

He was worried that if Li An knew that Ji Yang was still studying with Professor Yu and then apprenticed to Teacher Wei, it would make the matter more difficult.

That's why he made this move.

But it didn't seem to work, he always had the feeling that Li An knew about it.

The road of going abroad has been given up. At that time, in Ji Chengguang's eyes, there were only three roads to go.

First, let Ji Yang continue to study with Professor Yu, who has a bad business attitude, with Li An as a tutor, and the teacher is with Li An, but the focus of the exam is on Rongcheng Normal University.

Second, completely sever contact with Professor Yu, let Li An be the main teacher, put all the treasures on Li An's side, try to get through Professor Wei's side, attack the piano department of Rongcheng Conservatory of Music, and repeat the study if he fails.

Third, keep Professor Yu secretly in the second option, and finally give Professor Yu some money, as the worst plan after the failure of the attack, to ensure that Ji Yang will definitely learn this year.

After clearing his mind, Ji Chengguang undoubtedly chose the most conservative third path. If Yangyang didn't want to go to Rongshi in the end, he would repeat the study, which would be nothing more than spending more money.

That's it, with the arrival of Jin Jiu, Li An changed from a training partner to a main class teacher, and faintly became a distinguished guest of Ji Yang's family.

The class fee is from 240 to 300 for a class on time, and you can decide from 300 to 10000 per month.

How much did Ji Chenguang spend this money?Immediately, a detailed and meticulous piano practice plan was thrown on the coffee table in his living room.

Li An couldn't remember when Hu Rong stopped appearing in his class, but he saw everything in his eyes.

This society is like this.

He still accepted it readily, neither humble nor overbearing.

Everything is moving forward in an orderly manner, Ji Yang's major is getting better and better, and he also met Teacher Wei smoothly.

Li An had told him a long time ago that as long as Mr. Wei can accept Ji Yang, there will be drama.

At this stage, Ang Lee and Ji Chengguang became more harmonious.

He got his fair share of rewards.

Ji Chengguang watched as Ji Yang approached the target little by little, with Professor Yu's concern and inquiries from time to time behind him.

However, before he had time to relax for a few days, Ji Yang suddenly rushed upstairs to the living room after practicing the piano one night, and told him like an oath, "I must go to Rongcheng Conservatory of Music."

At that time, he also jokingly asked, "What if you don't pass the exam?"

When Ji Yang heard that he couldn't pass the three words in the test, his expression became serious, and he answered him: "Repeat."

"Dad, I must go to Rongcheng Conservatory of Music."

Ji Chengguang's expression was a little stiff when he heard the re-reading sentence loudly, but he still gave support in an encouraging tone.

He didn't know when Ji Yang had such an obsession with the Rongcheng Conservatory of Music.

What's more, he didn't expect that the rereading he heard from Ji Yang's mouth would be so different from the rereading he imagined.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that he could not accept the fact that his daughter should repeat the study, and he realized that he had been perplexed by a thought all along—if Ji Yang failed to pass the entrance examination of Rongcheng College, he would go to Rongcheng University as an option. Just follow Ang Lee.

Repeated reading, but it is a year.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the news that Ang Lee was going to Yanjing to participate in the competition.

Before Li An's departure, he hosted Li An twice in a row.

For the first time, he used Jiu Jin to confess everything in his heart and help Ji Yang.

The second time he took out 5 yuan, a small test.

It's a pity that Ang Lee just said that he tried his best and didn't take the money.

Both of them knew at the time that even if Li An took the money and Ji Yang failed the exam, Ji Chengguang would not say anything.

But Ang Lee didn't take the money.

This incident made Ji Chengguang fully feel the difference in Li An's personality. It wasn't that the amount he gave was small, he had already made it clear that the [-] was just a little tea.

But Li An didn't take the money, he just told him to hand over Ji Yang to a very good piano teacher during his absence.

Lin Youyou, Ji Yang came home after the master class and talked to them for several days.

He knew that without Li An's relationship, Ji Yang would have no chance to meet this kind of teacher.

Li An went to Yanjing for half a month.

During the period, the entire Chengdu piano circle was buzzing, and finally brought back a special award.

He congratulated from the bottom of his heart, but also worried that the other party would not have the energy and patience to spend time on Ji Yang.

When the positions of the two parties are reversed with the change of identity, who can make guarantees for whom.

But Ang Li came to his house the next day after he came back.

I apologize three times when I entered the door.

class first.

It was still Teacher Li, Ji Chenguang was relieved but also worried, the art exam was only half a month away.

Every day seemed like years to him, but he never opened his mouth on Li An's side.

Because he knew what kind of person Li An was.

Gradually, he also thought about it, and if he couldn't do it, he should repeat it. For the companionship from his father that his daughter lacked in childhood, he was guilty all his life.

As long as Yangyang likes it, Yangyang is happy, let her go.

He has even made plans to have a showdown with his daughter when the provincial art exam is over.

Professor Yu's vague plan was to let Ji Yang take the test at a test center outside the province, and Professor Yu personally arranged it.

If Yang Yang wants to go, then go, if not, forget it.

Just waiting for the final result.

Then came Ang Lee's concert.

Did not expect, did not expect.

Unexpectedly, Li An's piano skills are better than he imagined, and Li An's life is far more difficult than he thought.

After listening to a concert, Ji Chengguang was lucky to have chosen such a teacher for Yangyang.

A person who can serve as Yang Yang's life mentor.

He admires Ang Lee.

It might be a good choice to study with Ang Lee for another year.

At the end of the concert, he and Hu Rong went home first, he told Hu Rong.

"If it doesn't work, let her repeat it."

"I can still study with Teacher Li for another year with peace of mind."

At that time, Hu Rong also sighed in relief.

She also felt that Yang Yang was lucky to have met such a teacher who was comparable to a young pianist.

The couple thought it was all over.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yang, who came back in the early morning, told them.

"In the end, Teacher Wei told me not to go to class tomorrow, and said that if I have any questions, I should go to Teacher Li."

There are only three days left until the art exam.

Teacher Wei asked them to find Teacher Li.

What is the relationship between Teacher Wei and Teacher Li? They saw it clearly at the curtain call ceremony on the stage.

What are you looking for Mr. Li for?
Maybe Teacher Wei just didn't have time to say that casually.

Perhaps at this last moment, things took a turn for the better.

Perhaps the answer lies in that short film.

Teacher Wei, you have everything in Rongcheng.

Ang Li is still struggling to take root in this city.

And before the game and the concert came, Ang Lee personally rejected the 5 yuan that he was not responsible for.

Ji Chengguang didn't fall asleep for a long time that night, and then he made a decision.

-

"Thank you, Yangyang is lucky to meet you."

After taking his last puff, Lao Ji extinguished the cigarette butt again.

"Ms. Li, go up quickly. It's eight o'clock. Go back and have some food and rest early. Tomorrow will follow your arrangement. I will accompany her. You don't have to worry. Just wake up. We will line up first. It is estimated that there are many people who are admitted to the Rongcheng Academy."

That's for sure, Li An can think of the scene on the campus of Rongcheng University tomorrow.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, brother Ji, take Yangyang away quickly."

The two waved goodbye.

Li An just turned around and took two steps when he heard Ji Chengguang's voice behind him.

"Hey, Teacher Li, wait, wait."

Ang Lee turned around.

I saw Ji Chengguang open the trunk, "Look at my brain, I'm so busy today that I forgot about it."

He picked up a very ordinary plastic wrapping bag from beside the portfolio.

"Yesterday, Yangyang just wanted to eat the strawberry from last time. I stopped by and bought a few more boxes along the way home."

Chen Xuan also said that this strawberry was here.

"Hey, thank you Brother Ji, this strawberry is really good."

Li An didn't think much about anything, and then told him to pay attention to safety on the road, then turned and walked into the community.

Looking at the back of Li An leaving, Ji Chengguang sighed, he didn't know that a pair of bright eyes in the back seat of the car were watching this scene through the window.

Then quickly go back to the door and get in the car.

He just got into the driver's seat.

"dad."
-
After entering the elevator, Li An belatedly realized why the two boxes of strawberries were so heavy.

The next second, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly took out two boxes of strawberries from the plastic bag.

It made the whole elevator rattle.

In the box above, through the transparent wrapping paper, he saw huge strawberry fruits with full grains.

Remove the upper box.

He was stunned.

Through the same transparent wrapping paper, he saw stacks of neatly arranged pink papers.
