Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 947 207. Doubts about returning home? Xiaomi will not blow up the scene today [Part ]

"what?"

Xiaoche was already very surprised that the old grandfather wanted to learn piano, but he even asked his son to sign him up.

"Why is it just like a kid learning piano?" Xiaoche muttered to himself.

Li An smiled and said, "When people get old, they slowly turn into children. How about some more porridge?"

"Teacher, I'm full," Xiaoche put down the bowl of porridge and wiped his mouth, "Teacher, should I go back at noon?"

Li Anle: "Why don't you go back and sleep for a while?"

Xiaoche bared his teeth: "It's not impossible."

The teacher and student strolled back to the store, where Lao Tang and Mu Xin at the front desk were eating rice noodles.

After saying hello to the two teachers, Xiaoche went upstairs "consciously".

Then the sound of Chopin's piano came from the second floor.

"You two eat, I'll clean up."

After installing the coffee machine in the morning, there was a bit of a mess under the water bar.

Mu Xin quickened his swallowing speed, finished eating first and said he wanted to go upstairs to listen to Xiaoche play the piano.

After Lao Tang finished eating, he put the leftover lunch boxes into the garbage bag. Lao Tang was going out to throw away the garbage and asked Li An if he wanted to go out and order one.

"Let's go." Li An also picked up a bag of garbage.

The two men went out, turned left, threw away the garbage, and each lit a cigarette in front of the store.

Just as Lao Tang was about to speak, Li An spoke first: "I have tentatively scheduled the concert for the 20th. I am now wondering whether to hold one or two concerts."

Lao Tang: "Mu Xin and I did some calculations the day before yesterday, and we found that the second floor can accommodate about 50 people if we squeeze in a little bit."

Li An: “But I don’t think it will be possible to integrate all the parents’ time together, and I also plan to invite some teacher friends to come.”

Lao Tang: "Will the concert be in the evening or in the afternoon?"

Li An: "In the evening? What do you think?"

Lao Tang: "The effect will naturally be better at night. Why don't we hold two concerts? We will try to ensure that parents and children who want to listen to the concert don't miss it. We have nothing to do anyway."

Li An: "Then we'll have two shows. Now thinking about the opening days, I feel a lot of pressure."

Lao Tang: "After all, it's different from before. Before, I only had to worry about classes, but now I have to worry about everything inside and outside."

Li An: "Luckily you are here, otherwise I would be too busy to handle it alone. I have a lot of things to do recently."

Lao Tang: "Well, we didn't do anything. We didn't have classes right now. We just looked after the store. During the days you were away, it was mainly Sister Xu who was in charge of the finishing work. The performance will be over soon, so you can just focus on preparing recently and don't worry about this."

Li An: "With you guys here, I have nothing to worry about. It's just that I haven't gotten on the right track yet, so I feel uneasy. You know what I mean."

Lao Tang smiled: "I understand."

Li An also smiled: "Do you miss Lily recently?"

Lao Tang's smile froze immediately: "Turn the page, turn the page."

Hahahaha.

Li An: "You and Mu Xin should take a break tomorrow. It's the weekend. I will bring all my classes here from now on. I will be here tomorrow."

Lao Tang was just thinking about asking Li An about this, and nodded when he saw this. However, he immediately remembered that there was no one watching Li An downstairs while he was in class, just like today. If Li An had not been downstairs, he would probably have missed this order from Grandpa Gao.

Li An: "I find you can be so rigid sometimes, Lao Tang. I can just go downstairs and take classes."

Lao Tang: "Don't count on me for anything that requires your brain in the future. I will just study my lessons diligently and I will take as many lessons as you assign to me."

Li An curled his lips: "No, that won't work. I still count on you to do the official account work."

Lao Tang: “Oh.”

Li An: "It's not that we are counting on this, but no one can predict what will happen in the future, so let's follow up simultaneously."

Lao Tang raised his lips and said, "You are too slow in sync. I have prepared all the materials and it will be done within 72 hours."

Li An raised his finger and said, "It has to be you, hey, cigarette butt, cigarette butt."

Picking up the cigarette butts on the ground, the two returned to the store chatting and laughing. Some things didn't need to be said in the first place.

Xiaoche went to school, and before leaving, Li An reminded Xiaoche to slow down.

Lao Tang and Mu Xin continued with the unfinished k521 in the morning. Li An was alone, holding his cell phone, waiting on the sofa in the rest area downstairs.

Finally at 2:25, she received a message from Chen Xuan saying that she had woken up.

'Come on, come on, take your things with you, keep calm, don't reply to messages, wait until you finish the exam.'

Five seconds later, he still received a reply from Chen Xuan: Find something to do quickly, don’t reply to messages, just wait for me.

Ang Lee smiled and said: I’ll go back.

After replying the message, Li An went to the piano he played in the morning again, waiting for the next destined person.

I played Bach in the morning, what should I play in the afternoon?

Ang Lee doesn't want to play Brahms today; it's too deep.

The atmosphere today is suitable for playing something more casual, such as Moszkowski's Scherzo.

Let’s start with Moszkowski’s Scherzo in B flat major.

Ang Lee plucked his fingers, and the notes seemed to have free wings, flying all over the sky. Soon the whole first floor was filled with the sound of the piano.

The sound of the piano is sometimes like the warm afternoon sun, sometimes like the moon shining on old friends, and occasionally a cluster of gorgeous fireworks like in the festival will bloom in the silence.

But it was daytime and there were no other listeners around. No matter how gorgeous the fireworks were, they would disappear in a flash. Perhaps someone could find something by replaying the surveillance video.

After returning from Guangzhou, Li An could clearly feel that his performance had become more relaxed.

This calmness came from his reflection and attempts on the act of playing. After experiencing the transition from classical to romantic state of mind, and finally returning to the act of finger placement, he found that what had been bothering him before was just a piece of thin paper.

Of course, of course, his concert is not over yet.

At this moment, he was just looking for a little busy work in order to avoid worrying too much about Chen Xuan.

Time passed little by little, and the sky outside the window gradually darkened.

On the other hand, the other sky became brighter and brighter. At the examination site of the Sburg Conservatory of Music, the smile on Teacher Xiaomi's face the moment she stepped onto the stage destined her performance today to be full of ambition.

If the theme of Li Ang's performance today is tranquility, then the theme of Teacher Xiaomi's performance today is heat.

Hot but not impulsive.

The same Mozart, compared to Fallenberg's live performance, it is obvious that her performance today has added new ideas and thoughts in her pursuit of self.

Competitions and traveling abroad did not change her determination to perform, but the flow of life gave her many inspirations, especially on every night when she was homesick.

It can be said that today's version of Mozart is the result of her painstaking design after examining her life over the past two years.

She first reveals herself a little, then goes through a slow and contemplative phase, before transitioning back to the self-affirmation of the finale, and finally achieving a spiritual elevation at the end. Her demeanor throughout seems to have been forged step by step from an unending tenacity in simplicity.

Not only does this place embody her wishes, but it also has the full support of Ang Lee and her family, and is filled with love and expectations. She has no reason not to release all her energy in such a performance.

The fiery flute sounds create a lofty backbone and tone in the calm, which is a pure prospect of sweet rewards after bitter experiences.

No one can fade away calmly from the sound of the flute. When the music ends in the affectionate whispers, the quiet scene proves the saying that silence is better than words at this moment.

There is no doubt that Chen Xuan's performance has entered a new stage, and Professor Debster is already looking forward to Chen Xuan's graduation concert.

In the subsequent interview question and answer session, Teacher Xiaomi still demonstrated extraordinary confidence.

Regarding the differences in sound effects between the Chinese folk instruments big bamboo suona, Nanxi ha horn and the Western flute, Chen Xiaomi analyzed the vibration frequency patterns and shapes of the two from the spectrogram, and proposed how to use the flute to imitate the sounds of the former two, including physical aspects and the performer's own ideas.

From the perspective of the selection of musical instrument materials, Chen Xiaomi pointed out the differences between Chinese and Western cultures.

"The main materials used to make Chinese folk musical instruments come mainly from nature. This tradition has continued from the thousand-year-old bone flute to the present day. It clearly reflects the spiritual core of our country's worship of nature. Western musical instruments are mostly made of metal, pursuing a kind of self-transformation above nature." Combining the cultural differences between China and the West, Chen Xiaomi mentioned that Chinese and Western music have their own characteristics, but are closely linked.

Although there are great differences between Chinese and Western cultures and values, they share common goals and visions in the development of wind music art.

Comparing the development background and history of Chinese folk wind music art and Western wind music art, it is not difficult to see that their integration is an inevitable trend in the development of Chinese and Western music.

Swallows are flying, and the music is playing from top to bottom. This is a vivid depiction of the harmonious coexistence of Chinese and Western music.

Back to the topic of the paper, regarding the development and integration of modern flute techniques, Teacher Chen Xiaomi concluded: "As modern performers, we should combine regional musical and cultural differences, learn from each other, draw on each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, and focus on the development of the possibilities and potential of flute timbre."

After the interview, Chen Xiaomi walked out of the examination room with a confidence she had never felt before.

From 15 to 4, she can be sure that she has got her own ticket.

On the one hand, this is due to the great help from teachers at home and abroad and Ang Lee in various aspects, and on the other hand, it is also inseparable from her personal painstaking research.

The exam was over anyway, but Teacher Chen Xiaomi didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Because there is not much time left before the plane takes off.

'Stable'

When he saw this message, Li Ang had an urge to jump up and yell.

Awesome! !

If a person is truly happy, it will be written on his face.

When Old Tang and Mu Xin came down from upstairs, they saw Li Ang walking around on the first floor with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Ang Lee's face again, wow, what a big prize he has won.

Lao Tang: "Have you finished the exam?"

Mu Xin: "That's definitely no problem."

Li An: "Yeah, yeah, I did OK on the test, it's stable."

Ha ha ha ha--

Lao Tang: "Let's celebrate together tonight?"

Li An: "Tomorrow, tomorrow night, let's have the meeting somewhere else. I'll pay for it and everyone can do whatever they want!"

Mu Xin: "Brother An, do you know how handsome you are now?"
-
Ang Lee didn’t know how handsome he was now, but he knew he was a little too proud.

He originally planned to take the bus home, so he didn't even call an online car-hailing service. Instead, he raised his hand to stop a taxi.

On the way home, he kept sending messages to Chen Xuan. Perhaps Chen Xuan was still busy with some things, so she didn't reply to his messages all the way home.

It doesn’t matter. He is happy just being alone.

But the first thing he did when he got home and saw the cat climbing frame worth 80,000 yuan, his enthusiasm cooled a little.

The test is over, and I will definitely make a long video tonight. Chen Xuan will definitely watch it 80,000 times.

How to do?
Well, it’s time to give an explanation to the other party.

Fortunately, there is a happy event at home today.

Having prepared to confess his crime and receive leniency, Li An calmed down and thought about what to eat tonight.

Forget it, let’s go out to eat. After eating, let Xiaoche come back to do homework. Although we are happy, we still have to do what we have to do.

While waiting for the students to finish school, Li An contacted several parents and informed them that the class location would be changed.

He originally thought that several children would not be able to attend classes tomorrow, but Liu Fengrui's father and Qiao Zhizhi's mother immediately gave him a positive response that they could attend classes.

Qiao Zhizhi's mother asked him one more question: Teacher Li, are you inconvenienced tomorrow?

It’s convenient.

Then Song Sheng also said that it was no problem.

In the evening, when he was eating noodles downstairs with Xiaoche, he received replies from Xiaobei's mother and Marco's father. Xiaobei and Xiaoma were attending classes as usual.

Only Hu Kai said that his child had been sick for a week and he was not sure how he would be tomorrow. Li Ang expressed his concern and told him to keep in touch anytime.

So that means except for Hu Dabao, he has a full schedule of classes tomorrow.

It seems he is the only one who is worrying too much.

After returning home from eating and drinking, Li An was about to video call Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan said that she was chatting with Mrs. Debster at the professor's house.

Also sent a photo.

Seeing this, Ang Lee said, "Just get busy, don't worry."

So he called home.

Bragging about Chen Xuan’s achievements was a natural step, and it could be heard that the old couple on the other end of the phone were also very happy.

Old Li asked Chen Xuan if she had to come back after the exam, "It's almost the New Year."

Li An: "She may not come back."

Chen Xuan mentioned this to him half a month ago, saying that she might stay in Borg to join a flute orchestra in Debster, which had a tour plan in February.

Although, he has to support this kind of thing.

Besides, why go out? Isn't it to learn, exercise and gain experience?

Old Li didn't say anything about this. "What do you mean by New Year's Eve? Last time you asked us about our plans for the New Year's Eve."

Speaking of this, Ji Yang took the lead and asked a few children to bring their grandparents over to celebrate the New Year.

Ang Lee did have this idea at the time, but now it seems better to forget it. It won’t affect him in any way if he goes back and stays for a few days less, and besides, don’t bother Ang Lee anymore.

When Old Li retires at the end of the year, "How is Grandpa these days?"

Lao Li: "That's good. Your mother shouldn't have eaten all the batter made with spinach, fish, and apples today."

Li An: "I can only eat liquid food."

Old Li: "Well, what can I say? You are old now. You can eat whatever you can. It's good enough that you can eat it."

Li An sighed: "That's right."

Lao Li: "When are you leaving?"

Li An: "Didn't I tell you the other day that the ticket is for the afternoon of the 12th?"

Old Li: "Oh, yes, it's the day after tomorrow, so be careful on the road. When the time comes, send a message to your mother so that she won't worry too much."

Li An: "Well, is there anything to worry about?"

Lao Li: "Stop complaining about airplanes being unsafe."

Li An smiled: "Let her sit on it once and she will know."

Old Li also smiled: "Okay, is there anything else? If nothing else, I won't talk about it anymore."

Li An: "Alright, alright, hurry up and watch TV. Take advantage of the time while my mom is away. When she comes back, you two won't be able to see each other again."

Lao Li: "Whatever you look at is just a look, I won't say anything more."

After hanging up the phone with Lao Li, Li An thought that if the day came when Lao Li was too old to get out of bed, couldn't go to the toilet by himself, and could only eat liquid food, it would be better for him to just die.

At half past nine, Li An went to make milk for Xiao Che, and Xiao Che followed him to the kitchen.

"Teacher, I have something I want to ask you."

"What are you taking so seriously? Ask."

"Teacher, winter vacation is coming soon. Do I have to move back home?"

Yeah, that’s true. Li An turned around and turned off the range hood.
