Please, come home and practice the piano

On September 5, Friday, the weather was fine.

The piano room building of Rongyuan started to line up early in the morning, and the mid-term exam next week, people and ghosts had to seize the last time to make a surprise attack.

Some students complained that they blamed the school's poor arrangements, and the notices were released saying that the mid-term exam in the early May Day period turned out to be nothing.

Under the shade of a tree five or six meters away from the piano room building, a father and daughter stood.

The father's name is Zhao Decai, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, and his daughter's name is Zhao Mengtian, holding a pink color folder in his arms.

The father and daughter made an appointment with Huo Xiaodong to attend class this morning.

It stands to reason that today is Friday, and Zhao Mengtian has to go to school.

What's the matter?
Lao Zhao wants to give his children another lesson before the game.

He originally thought about giving the child extra lessons tonight, but he has nothing to say about it, it depends on whether the teacher has time.

So he called Huo Xiaodong last night, and Huo Xiaodong said that Mengtian was fine and there was no need for another class.

Lao Zhao was not at ease, and said that he would trouble Teacher Huo to find some time to listen to his daughter, and asked if it would be convenient tonight?
Huo Xiaodong really has something to do tonight. Seeing that Lao Zhao Fei wanted to give the child extra lessons, he could only do it this morning.

That's it, Lao Zhao asked for a leave of absence for the child's class teacher early in the morning, and then brought the child over.

About 5 minutes later, Huo Xiaodong rushed to the door of the piano room building.

"Let's hurry up."

As he spoke, he took the father and daughter and walked to the piano room building.

There were quite a few students waiting in line for the piano room, but few took the initiative to say hello to Huo Xiaodong.

This made Huo Xiaodong feel that he lost face in front of Lao Zhao, and felt a little upset.

The door of classroom 201 on the second floor was open, and Wei Sanwan was watering the flowers inside, and he had to go to class later.

Huo Xiaodong went upstairs and passed by the door of Wei Sanwan's classroom and stopped to ask Zhao Mengtian to say hello to Teacher Wei.

"Grandpa Wei is good."

Zhao Mengtian had previously attended classes with Wei Sanwan under the recommendation of Huo Xiaodong, so she knew Wei Sanwan.

"Hello." Old Wei was surprised why the child came here early on Friday morning, but he didn't ask too much, "Play well tomorrow." He raised his fist to encourage the child.

Zhao Mengtian was amused and giggled.

Lao Zhao picked up the gap and greeted Wei Sanwan: "Morning, Professor Wei."

Old Wei smiled and nodded at Old Zhao, then looked at Huo Xiaodong, "Hurry up and take the child up."

After speaking, he turned around and continued watering the flowers.

"Teacher Wei, you are busy."

Seeing this, Huo Xiaodong sighed in his heart, and left with his father and daughter.

Hey.

When he got home after dinner last night, he received a call from Teacher Wei.

Teacher Wei only said a word to him on the phone.

"Xiaodong, you are reckless."

Just these seven words not only made him sober up, but also kept him awake in the middle of the night.

Thinking about it carefully, he really shouldn't have saved that round yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Wei entrusted such an important job to himself, but before the work started, he made a fuss for everyone to have a drink together, which really shouldn't be.

Let's apologize to Old Wei later.

"Mengtian, warm up first."

Huo Xiaodong took the coffee from Lao Zhao and put it on the piano, then asked Lao Zhao to come out.

The two adults exchanged at the door and returned to the piano room. Huo Xiaodong asked Zhao Mengtian to play the music for her.

Zhao Mengtian asked: "Teacher, which one should I play first?"

Huo Xiaodong moved a chair to the piano and sat down, "Sonata."

moment.

Zhao Mengtian raised her hands and dropped her fingers.

The first movement of Beethoven's Sonata No. [-] leaps from the tip of a tiny finger.
-
At ten o'clock in the morning, a group of third-year undergraduates from Weijiaban came to the 201 piano room.

It's noon after class.

Old Wei didn't care about rest, and then he took all the classes of the sophomore and freshman.

Why is there no senior year.

Because the senior graduation exam has ended.

After most of the day's class, Wei Sanwan was also a little tired. It can be said that he was very dissatisfied with today's class.

Instruct Ma Fei and others to go to the restaurant to wait for orders in advance, and then leave alone.

Tonight is Lin Youyou's farewell banquet, which is a major event for Wei's family.
-
Time back to 12:30 noon.

Li An, who had finished practicing piano in the morning, returned to the office for lunch, and received a call from Zheng Haitao during the meal.

Zheng Haitao asked on the phone what time he and Deng Shiqi finished their work in the afternoon and would pick them up by car. The two made an appointment at 05:30.

In the afternoon, Li An continued to organize the piano teacher training courses.

At a quarter past five, Haitao called again, and the car had already arrived downstairs.

Li An left the office with the practice gift prepared for Lin Youyou, and asked Deng Shiqi to go downstairs to meet Haitao.

The three set off to Rongyuan.

"Brother An, what gift did you prepare for Sister You?"

"a book."

Because there was no chance to invite Lin Youyou to dinner alone again, in order to express the help he had given him in the past six months after returning to China, and also as a kind of blessing, Li An decided to give Lin Youyou a gift.

But after much deliberation, he didn't know what to give as a suitable gift. Fortunately, Chen Xuan gave him an idea. The book is easy to carry and has a good meaning.

So he remembered that Lin Youyou liked Kawabata Yasunari's works especially when he was in college, so he bought this hardcover version of "Snow Country" online.

The three arrived on the ninth floor of Fulin, and Ma Fei and others had been waiting in the private room for a long time.

The private room was ordered by Jia Mingyu, and the dishes were still the old ones from Wei's class.

Half an hour before the dinner started, Li An called Jia Mingyu. Jia Mingyu said that she would pick up the teacher and let Li An greet the younger brothers and sisters in the private room.

So Li also relaxed, hung up the phone and chatted with a group of juniors and juniors about college life.

Through chatting, he found that many juniors and sisters who were freshmen and sophomores wanted to go out to substitute classes, which was not at all like when he was a freshman and sophomore.

When he was a freshman and sophomore, the classmates around him were either busy with entering the student union or participating in various club activities all day long. Few of them thought about going out to make money.

Wanting to make money is a good thing, but he suggested that freshmen and sophomores should focus on their majors first.

Forging iron still needs to be hard, whether it is teaching or performing.

After paying attention to a few juniors and juniors with good majors, Li An wrote down their names.

People entered the private room one after another, and Lin Youyou also arrived around six o'clock.

When Lin Youyou walked into the private room, everyone stopped and stood up to say hello.

Seeing so many juniors and juniors came to support her, Lin Youyou was naturally happy, she put down her bags and asked everyone to sit down.

"Come."

Li An pulled out a chair, "Sister, please sit down."

This chair is next to Teacher Wei's chair, and Li An sat in this position in the last few division gatherings.

"Where are you sitting?" Lin Youyou asked.

Ang Lee said with a smile: "I will definitely sit next to the senior sister and be responsible for serving tea and water."

Lin Youyou: "Okay, I'll give you a chance."

The crowd laughed.

At this time, Haitao rushed into the private room in a hurry, "The teacher is downstairs."

All of a sudden, the whole private room became tense, especially the younger brothers and younger sisters who had been scolded in class today.

But they also have experience, this kind of dinner table is big, try to sit in the middle of the two sides of the main seat, so as to effectively avoid the teacher's gaze radiation.

So they fought one by one, it was a real fight!
Li An shook his head and smiled heartily. These kids, just practice the piano well.

In less than a minute, Wei Sanwan's laughter entered the arena first.

"teacher."

"teacher."

"teacher."

I don't know how many teachers rang out in the private room.

At last.

"Teacher." Lin Youyou took Wei Sanwan's arm and came to the main seat today, "You sit first."

Wei Sanwan waved his hand, "Sit down today."

Crowd: ? ? ?
Wei Sanwan looked around, "Xiao Shengjun, sit next to me, and I'll sit next to you."

Crowd:! ! !
No!
Some people have already begun to mourn, especially the people sitting around Xiao Shengjun. They fought for a seat for a long time, but they didn't expect to fight for a crematorium
"What? Everyone has a sad face?" Wei Sanwan grinned, "You don't even want to sit with me, do you?"

"No!" Everyone quickly waved their hands.

Wei Sanwan immediately showed an expression that I don't understand you yet?
After speaking, he walked to the seat of the assistant, "Haitao, sit on my right."

Zheng Haitao was about to cry: "No, teacher, please forgive me, I have to drive at night."

Wei Sanwan pursed his lips, tsk-tsk and complained to the students around him, "You see, I even drove a special car to escape drinking."

Zheng Haitao shouted that he was wronged, but he sat down immediately.

As Wei Sanwan sat down, everyone sat down.

No one spoke for a while, Wei Sanwan looked at Lin Youyou who was sitting opposite, with mixed feelings in his heart, after leaving, he didn't know when he would see him again next time.

"I've assigned you a task, so you can talk more tonight."

Lin Youyou naturally felt the reluctance in the teacher's words, and the sadness before parting rose in her heart, "Okay."

Wei Sanwan likes to watch Lin Youyou smile, and then his eyes come to his side, his expression becomes serious, "Don't think I don't know, do you guys have a lot of places to choose seats for dinner, how can I not see you when you sit, Yes or no?"

"Who taught you?"

No one dares to say anything.

"I am me."

Zheng Haitao knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he got up and picked up a bottle of wine, bit the bottle cap with his teeth and raised his head to have a meal.

After blowing a bottle of wine, put down the bottle, "Teacher, I was wrong."

Wei Sanwan laughed: "I applaud you Brother Tao."

"Wow——————"

The atmosphere at the dinner table is better.

"Hey." Wei Sanwan sighed again, "It's also my fault, I've been too busy recently."

Li An didn't know what happened to the teacher today.

At this time, Jia Mingyu got up and said angrily, "You guys also fight for your breath."

On the way, Wei Sanwan told Jia Mingyu about today's class. From the freshman to the junior year, no one practiced to satisfy him.

"What's the matter with the May Day holiday? The May Day holiday is the reason why you don't practice the piano well. Don't just think about having fun all day long, think about how to go out to substitute classes, look at your senior sister Lin Youyou, and look at the graduates sitting here. Brother, there are so many role models who don’t know how to learn, and they are all too old to be sensible, who practiced the piano for?”

"No matter who it is next time, let me hear the teacher get angry in class, and see how I deal with you."

Now Li An understood what was going on, and the co-author teacher was angry again in class today.

"It's alright, alright, raise your head." Li An took Jia Mingyu's words, "It's as if it's real, do you really know it's wrong or fake it?"

"Be content. The teacher's temper is much better now than before. Ask your brother Haitao what his nickname was when he was in school. There are legends about it."

Ma Yu was the first to hold back, covering his mouth and coughing.

This made the atmosphere much more relaxed. Everyone raised their heads and couldn't help looking at Senior Brother Haitao with curiosity in their eyes.

Zheng Haitao thought he was unlucky today, but there was nothing he could do. He did everything to make the teacher happy.

"Okay, I call it 201 Shredder."

ha?
Everyone doesn't understand what it means.

Li An: "Ma Yu, please educate the younger brothers and sisters."

Ma Yu stood up, "I'm sorry, Brother Tao, I have to listen to what Big Brother says."

Then he explained to everyone, "Brother Tao was torn up by the teacher twice a month during his undergraduate period, and the torn scores can be glued together to go around the cafeteria."

Ha ha ha ha--

Zheng Haitao countered Ma Yu and said, "Don't blame me, the number of times you were scolded and cried by the teacher is quite objective."

Ha ha ha ha--

The two talked to each other and revealed each other's faults, and the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became active.

"Stop, stop."

Seeing that the teacher smiled was fine, and Li An smoothed things over when he saw that it was almost done, "If you two go on talking, you probably won't even be able to hide your underwear."

Then he turned to everyone, "You guys don't laugh anymore, the teacher is retiring soon, and to be honest, he can't control you anymore, you guys can figure it out."

Wei Sanwan: "That's what I'm talking about, I've figured it out now, I don't care about you, you still hate me behind your back, what am I trying to do, teach you senior brothers and sisters, your teacher is enough for me in this life .”

Lin Youyou: "That's not enough, you have to pay another 20 years."

Wei Sanwan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again, stood up and served the wine, "Let's not talk about that, let's get back to business, let's have a toast for our Senior Sister Youyou first."

People toast.

"cheers!"
-
There are endless words, endless regrets.

In fact, everyone didn't drink much that night, and they were all obedient, listening to Wei Sanwan, Lin Youyou, Jia Mingyu, Li An, and every junior and junior sister.

There was a link in the middle, where everyone present sent a blessing to Lin Youyou.

After listening to it, Lin Youyou was even more reluctant. She loved Wei's class and everyone in this small group.

The difference between Lin Youyou and her rational exterior is that she is emotional in her bones.

But at the last moment, she didn't know what else to say but to thank herself.

When Teacher Wei came to her with a glass of wine, he patted her on the shoulder and said to her: "Come back when you are tired, go home."

She couldn't help but threw herself into the teacher's arms and cried.

Crying like a child who has been greatly wronged, at this moment Li An realized that Lin Youyou's back was so thin.

But it's such a thin figure, yet he wants to do such an incredible thing.

At this moment, he admired Lin Youyou to the point of throwing himself to the ground.

So much so that when it was time to give away the gift at the end, he took the initiative to hug the other party.

It's not that he couldn't help it, he hugged him very gentlemanly, just for a second, representing all the students in their 2015 class of Wei's family.

"Hope this book brings you good luck."

Letting go he handed the gift bag.

Lin Youyou wiped the corner of her eyes and took it, and took it out without holding back.

Gently brushing over the exquisite cover printed with Snow Country, she smiled softly, "Thank you."

This is the second gift given to her seven years after Ang Lee gave her a farewell waltz score on the day of their mid-term exam in the first half of the freshman year.

Yasunari Kawabata's Snow Country, a novel she fell in love with at the age of 14, was also the beginning of her approach to Yasunari Kawabata.

"Have you read this book?" she asked Ang Lee.

Li An said truthfully: "No, the name sounds like a beautiful story."

Hearing Li An's answer, she nodded, smiled lightly and said thank you again.

At this moment, posters have been hung high at the gate of the first floor of the theater of Rongcheng Conservatory of Music, which is less than 100 meters away from the private room.

The red satin printed with the characters of "The Seventh Rongcheng Cup Piano Competition" fluttered in the wind.
