beauty winner

Chapter 41 The first time

During the meal, Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing to be gentle: "It's my 'grandma' 'grandma' who still said your name is good."

Yang Jingxing was happy: "Your 'grandma' has taste."

Tao Meng said: "My 'grandmother' likes to drink tea here, we will go too later."

An hour after eating and going upstairs to drink coffee, Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing, "Do you still remember my 'grandma'?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I remember, the old man is very kind and healthy. He was probably a beautiful woman when he was young."

Tao Meng smiled: "I remember you as 'Grandma' and 'Grandma' because you first called her 'Grandma' and 'Grandma'."

Yang Jingxing said, "We are all like this over there."

Tao Meng asked: "How is your 'grandma'?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm over 60, and I want to live to be a hundred."

Tao Meng said: "My grandma is 74 years old, and she gave birth to my father when she was 30 years old... Where is your grandpa?"

The two talked for a long time about family issues.Tao Meng's grandfather has passed away for three years, and her father is actually the only child.Tao Meng used to have an aunt and uncle who loved her very much, but unfortunately they no longer see each other.

Yang Jingxing is exaggerating, there are a lot of relatives in the family, uncles, aunts, and uncles.There are also some that are a little farther away. They don't have much intimacy at ordinary times, but they will definitely walk around during New Years and holidays.

Tao Meng's "grandma" has a lot of background. Before liberation, she was the third lady of the Chen family in Puhai.As for Tao Meng's grandfather, before liberation, he was the second young master of the Tao family in Puhai, three years older than the third young lady.The third young lady and the second young master were childhood sweethearts and baby relatives. Even though they were only teenagers at that time, they had a very good relationship.

But in the early days of liberation, there were differences between the Tao family and the Chen family.The Tao family stayed and became national capitalists, while the Chen family moved to Hong Kong with their whole family. After two years, they separated again. The third lady stayed, and many others went to the United States.

However, the relationship between the second young master of the national capitalist and the third young lady of the comprador capitalist was not affected by politics and war, and remained strong and deep.

After going through untold hardships, the third lady finally returned to China, and the second young master married the third lady despite all resistance.At that time, it was already 1960.

As a national capitalist, your capital is all national, so when Tao Meng's father spoke out, life for the Tao family was very difficult.Fortunately, the third lady is a top student in the Chinese Department of the University of Hong Kong, so her son has received a good tutor.And the second young master is a very capable man, who tried his best to protect his family during the turbulent years.

Later, with the reform and opening up, the national capitalists and comprador capitalists turned around, not to mention the alliance between the powerful, and the business flourished day by day.

And Yang Jingxing's grandparents were all peasants, and it is said that they used to be landlords, but they didn't go there.

It can be seen that Tao Meng has a very good relationship with her "grandma", and I also envy her grandpa's "grandma" who has never blushed in his life.

Yang Jingxing said: "I heard that my grandpa 'grandma' has been arguing all his life, and now he is old and has no strength."

Tao Meng said: "At least we've been arguing for a lifetime. In fact, I think that era also had its advantages."

Yang Jingxing said, "Your grandfather's grandfather must have had a concubine."

Tao Meng said angrily, "That's only one aspect."

Yang Jingxing said: "It's all just one aspect. You live happily enough, be content. Yu Xinting, the girl from the piano department in the morning, when she was preparing for the exam, she was alone in Puhai, living in a small house of six or seven square meters. One piano, one bed, shared a bathroom with a group of people, and didn’t go home during the Chinese New Year. If something happened, I couldn’t cry every day, so I could cry.”

Tao Meng was a little surprised: "I didn't see it."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "What can you see. This world is so big, there are so many joys and sorrows, and you can never finish it. Your eyes and heart should see more of your own happiness and beauty, but don't be proud."

Tao Meng hummed: "When have I ever been proud?"

Yang Jingxing looked at Tao Meng.

Tao Meng said angrily, "This doesn't count, you're a trap!"

Yang Jingxing said: "That depends on you."

Tao Meng changed the subject: "What was the happiest thing for you since you were a child?"

Yang Jingxing said: "There are too many, there are different kinds of happiness, and they cannot be compared."

Tao Meng was curious: "Just say anything."

Yang Jingxing said: "I am very happy to open my eyes and see the world for the first time..."

Tao Meng troubled: "Who would remember... just let it be."

Yang Jingxing added: "When I was a child, I was very happy when I bought a game console. I am happy when I go home during the holidays. I am happy when I am a good person..."

Tao Meng didn't believe it: "What good thing are you doing?"

Yang Jingxing said, "I'm not proud."

Tao Meng poked the plate with a spoon anxiously: "Say it quickly!"

So the two changed the subject again, talking about their childhood.Tao Meng had a good friend when she was in elementary school. Both of them practiced the piano. That girl even went to Tao Meng's house. Unfortunately, Tao Meng went to Shangpu to study in junior high school, and gradually lost contact.Tao Meng was still a good shuttlecock kicker when she was young, she had no rivals in the whole grade, and she was also very good at flying kites, and she could also play spinning tops.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I have a chance to take you nostalgic for your primary school days."

Tao Meng sighed: "At that time, I really didn't know what it was like to be sad. Xiang Xuan and I could play house for a while, cook, make clothes..."

Yang Jingxing asked, "What grade are you still playing at?"

Tao Meng said: "Second and third grades, anyway, I have a deep memory."

Boring nonsense and time passed quickly, it was already four o'clock when Yang Jingxing received a call from Zhang Jiahuo.Zhang Jiahuo said he had a dinner, and asked him if he wanted to go, several well-known musicians were there.Yang Jingxing failed to live up to his good intentions and said he couldn't leave.

Tao Meng also had to go home for dinner, Yang Jingxing said, "Let's go, see you off."

Tao Meng said, "I'll be back at five o'clock, in time."

Yang Jingxing said: "Then let me take you out to show off."

Tao Meng was immune: "It's good to walk, but sitting for too long."

The two circled around Jin Mao twice, and then Yang Jingxing sent Tao Meng home.When Tao Meng was 200 meters away from her home, she called to stop, pointed at the eighteen-story building from a distance, and said, "My home is on the twelfth floor."

Yang Jingxing also knew what was interesting: "Goodbye."

Tao Meng nodded: "Goodbye... When you arrive at school, send me a text message. I'll get off the bus."

Yang Jingxing reminded: "Hold the score."

"Oh... goodbye."

After Yang Jingxing returned to school, he went to the piano room and had to call Liu Miao and Xia Xue.These two girls are not playful now, and they are not together on weekends, wasting Yang Jingxing's phone bill.

It seemed that Yang Jingxing was really going to become a famous person in the school. When he arrived at the piano room, even the administrator welcomed him. He even went to ask the students in the room he used to change places, but Yang Jingxing quickly said no.

On Sunday morning, when Yang Jingxing went to school, he met Yu Xinting.Yu Xinting handed over an apple and said with a smile, "You won't be able to finish this in three bites."

Yang Jingxing asked, "Where's An Xin?"

Yu Xinting said, "I went to play with her classmate."

Yang Jingxing suggested: "You can go together."

Yu Xinting clenched her fists tightly: "I want to practice the piano. I joined the piano club, so I can help find tutors and guide people to choose the piano. I want to make money."

Yang Jingxing taught him a lesson: "What do you want to make money for? Concentrate on studying!"

Yu Xinting was full of fighting spirit: "You can earn money and study! Are you going to practice piano now?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Going to eat hot pot tonight?"

Yu Xinting asked, "Is your girlfriend coming?"

Yang Jingxing said, "It's not the girlfriend, it's just the two of us."

Yu Xinting didn't believe it: "It must be, you lied to me! I'm going to practice piano too, bye."

Yang Jingxing had to practice with the band all day today. Before the start, Zhang Jiahuo also taught Yang Jingxing a few words, saying that he should get to know more people, and it would be easier to travel if he had more friends.Li Yingzhen was still very dissatisfied with the band, and almost regretted her hasty decision.

At noon on Monday, Yang Jingxing, who had finished his piano practice, ran into Yu Xinting and An Xin in the cafeteria. The three sat together, but An Xin quickly spotted a classmate and passed by with a plate.

Yu Xinting ate and said, "The bag is in the dormitory, otherwise there will be apples for you."

Yang Jingxing said, "It's a shame to eat your food every day."

Yu Xinting had a very serious expression: "I said I would buy you a big car! From now on, I will give you one every day, from Monday to Friday, and one apple a day will keep you from getting sick."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "But you can't 'sex' me at once, you have to have one every day."

Yu Xinting said: "Okay, I can give you two on weekends, one for you and your girlfriend."

Yang Jingxing said, "Where are my girlfriends?"

Yu Xinting's eyes widened: "Ah! Are you serious?"

"Fake. That's not my girlfriend, a high school classmate."

Yu Xinting turned her head to the left: "I don't believe it." Then turned her head to the right: "I don't believe it!"

Yang Jingxing said, "Why are you lying to me? You can get more apples."

Yu Xinting whispered mysteriously: "You must be afraid that Professor Li will know."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You think I'm still a primary school student, and I'm not allowed to fall in love early."

Yu Xinting looked at Yang Jingxing: "Professor Li said that you are a piano master who wants to go to the world..."

Yang Jingxing didn't believe it: "She wouldn't praise me like that."

"Anyway, that's what it means... But I know you must have a girlfriend, don't worry, I'll keep it a secret." Yu Xinting looked very loyal.

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, I'll give you a glorious image."

Yu Xinting was curious again: "How long have you been playing with friends?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it will last as long as infinity."

Yu Xinting shook her arms, as if she wanted to hit Yang Jingxing, and condemned: "You are a bad person, I told you to keep it secret for you."

Yang Jingxing said: "You also said that I have a girlfriend, and that I am a bad person, so I don't feel bad about eating your apples."

Yu Xinting giggled, and said, "I saw your friends during the National Day holiday, are they all your high school classmates?"

From this day on, Yu Xinting really gave Yang Jingxing an apple every day, before and after lunch.

At noon on Thursday, Yu Xinting was very happy: "I went to distribute tickets for you in the morning, and they were all rushing to get them."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Of course I'm eager to get the free ones." Li Yingzhen must have arranged for the students to distribute the tickets, but Yang Jingxing himself was free.

Yu Xinting added: "An Xin quietly took two and gave them to her classmates."

Yang Jingxing warned: "You keep one for yourself!"

Yu Xinting took out a simple ticket from the book, held it in her hand, shook it to show off, and asked, "When is your girlfriend coming?"

Yang Jingxing said, "I won't come."

"Why?" Yu Xinting was a little annoyed.

Yang Jingxing said, "I don't know where it came from."

Yu Xinting was anxious: "I'm serious, are you coming or not?"

Yang Jingxing was annoyed: "I explain this question to you every day, forget about being my girlfriend, and ask yourself!"

Yu Xinting lowered her head, as if she was eating.

Yang Jingxing apologized: "I'm just kidding, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Yu Xinting raised her eyes, as if she was really scared: "Are you bothering me?"

Yang Jingxing quickly said: "How is that possible? Could it be that I was waiting there just to annoy you?"

Yu Xinting giggled: "Then I won't talk about your girlfriend from now on... Does she put her studies first?"

Yang Jingxing was angry: "Slap your mouth!"

Yu Xinting patted her cheeks with both hands.

On Friday morning, Yang Jingxing and the band went to eat after practice, and saw Yu Xinting handing tickets to people at the entrance of the cafeteria, and told people: "If you want to come, you must come." She is cute, and most people would not refuse.

Yang Jingxing went over and said, "Give it all to me!"

Yu Xinting might be afraid of hurting Yang Jingxing's self-esteem, so she quickly put it behind her back: "There are not many."

Yang Jingxing said: "It's their loss not to come, let's eat."

"Okay." Yu Xinting nodded, "It's only eleven o'clock, why didn't you practice more?"

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Yang Jingxing's first piano recital was held in the He Luting Concert Hall of Puhai Conservatory of Music, with Zhang Jiahuo as the conductor, Puhai Conservatory of Music Symphony Orchestra, and Li Yingzhen as the instructor.The guests present included several leaders of the college, several professors of the piano department, and the director of the composition department.In addition, there were a few friends invited by Zhang Jiahuo, who were all masters with many titles, and Yang Jingxing respected them a lot.

By seven o'clock, only a hundred or so of the seven hundred seats on the first floor were empty.Among the five or six hundred audience members, Yang Jingxing knew thirty or forty people, from the department, from the piano department.Seats are free, Yu Xinting and An Xin grabbed the front seats early.

At ten past seven, Zhang Chujia, who made a friendly guest appearance, came to the stage to announce, just to brag about the orchestra and the conductor, and then introduce Yang Jingxing to the stage.Speaking of which, Yang Jingxing really doesn't have anything worth mentioning, he can only say that he is a student of Professor Li Yingzhen, and he has been affirmed by many people.What made Yang Jingxing a headache was that Zhang Chujia actually used his college entrance examination scores to make an issue. He was really ashamed.

When Yang Jingxing came to the stage, he received a burst of not-so-warm applause. After saying thank you, he sat down in front of the piano.Then Zhang Jiahuo appeared on the stage, so Fan was big, and he had to wave his hands.

It started after a little preparation, first the Chopin First Steel Association.There are no major flaws in the band's performance on this piece, but there are also no bright spots. It depends on Yang Jingxing.

Li Yingzhen once said that Yang Jingxing didn't have the temperament of Chopin, so he repaired him well.The repairs were not too successful, and Yang Jingxing was still not a particularly pure Chopin, but he had his own characteristics, that is, he belonged to a slightly more active Chopin, and he behaved more cheerfully.Having said that, who can be recognized as 100% Chopin now, even Chopin's resurrection will not work.

The concert hall was always noisy, and it didn't really quiet down until halfway through the first movement.In addition to paying attention to their ears, the audience in the audience also looked at the calm Yang Jingxing, which was in stark contrast to the passionate Zhang Jiahuo.

Chopin No. [-] Steel Association is shorter than Lasan, but it still lasts half an hour.After half an hour, the applause came slowly, and it took half a minute to go from sparse to enthusiastic. Obviously, many people followed suit.

Yang Jingxing wanted to start the next one quickly, but Zhang Jiahuo was not sure, so he pulled him to stand up and accept the applause.After Yang Jingxing bowed twice, he sat back in front of the piano, and then turned his head and smiled at Yu Xinting and An Xin's friends.An Xin's thin and dark female companion was so happy that she almost stood up.

The next step is the main event, Zhang Jiahuo used a very powerful posture to direct the band to start.Yang Jingxing's expression was still so calm, but his hands were completely opposite.

The conductor seems to have really entered the state, one movement followed another without any pause.An Xin's lay friend also asked, is playing the piano so tiring?Yang Jingxing's occasional body tremor could make the sweat drip off his head.

This is Director Sun's evaluation of Yang Jingxing. Although he is as stable as Mount Tai, in fact, his actions and emotions contain huge power.

Entering the climax before the end of the third movement, some people in the auditorium couldn't help applauding, and some people stood up.But they still have to wait a minute, because the end of this powerful orgasm is a bit long.

Finally, when it was over, Zhang Jiahuo turned around fiercely, raised his baton high, and accepted the sudden warm applause, as proud and joyful as a triumphant general.

Yang Jingxing, who was still baring his teeth and claws on the keys just now, was more gentle, almost a little embarrassed, as if he was playing some kind of melody just now.

Anyway, they are all from the Conservatory of Music, and they will appreciate it. The applause was warm and lasting.Even Li Yingzhen in the box on the second floor was applauding. This was the first time she applauded Yang Jingxing.Yang Jingxing bowed his thanks and stood still, waiting for 2 minutes for the applause to end.

Those who have heard of Yang Jingxing but have always been skeptical don't need to be skeptical anymore, a genius is a genius.

Originally, Yu Xinting was scheduled to eat hot pot, but Yang Jingxing wanted to leave the show early, but the audience refused to agree and kept making noises, and some people shouted for another one.

Zhang Jiahuo and Yang Jingxing discussed to return.Yang Jingxing had no choice but to follow suit, and there was another Chopin Steel Association II.

It was another half an hour, and more enthusiastic applause.After the end, there was another one, Zhang Jiahuo let Yang Jingxing go, and asked Zhang Chujia to come on stage to announce the end of the concert.

It is only valuable if it is recognized by the audience. The professors and leaders who have heard Yang Jingxing's performance before all came to congratulate and praise.Zhang Jiahuo seemed to like the dinner, and said that he wanted to be the host himself, and everyone went to have fun together.

Yang Jingxing really didn't know how to be a human being, so he actually said: "Commander Zhang, I have an appointment, let's go first."

Zhang Jiahuo smiled and stared: "Who is it? Let's go together!"

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "Several of them are friends, they are embarrassed."

Zhang Jiahuo was a little angry: "No, you have to go today!"

Yang Jingxing pleaded: "Can I not go?"

Li Yingzhen asked: "Is it Yu Xinting? You call, you talk about yours, we talk about ours."

Zhang Jiahuo instructed: "Go, go!"
