Chen Qunguan's reputation is not small. Li Yingzhen's family of five attended, and Zhao Yi rushed to the front: "Brother?"

Zhao Yiyi was stunned for a moment if the brother he met for the first time was a little different from what he imagined. Chen Qunguan's son was actually a gentleman. He walked over and hugged him warmly.

Although Zhao Yiyi was a little shy, he would still respond to his brother. His sister, who was half a head shorter than Yiyi, abandoned her elder sister and rushed over happily: "Hi, Hi..."

He Peiyuan had already stood upright: "Professor Li."

Li Yingzhen nodded and smiled, then turned her attention to the child, watching her granddaughter hugging her left and right.

Chen Qunguan's wife found an opportunity to greet him: "Hello, professor."

My wife helped Li Yingzhen respond: "Please sit down, such a cute child..."

The banquet started immediately. Chen Qunguan originally wanted to order something in the cup, but today he communicated with Yang Jingxing in advance. The family rules are strict and he cannot drink in front of children. He has no choice but to do so.

American children don't know how to use chopsticks, so Zhao Yiyi just remembers the hardships and sweetness and uses forks and spoons with the guests. American children can't eat fish with bones, but Chen Qunguan doesn't care so much. This is not comparable to tuna and salmon, just eat it!

Fortunately, He Peiyuan helped the children cut steaks and fish, coaxed them to eat more vegetables, wiped their mouths with a napkin, and acted as a patient commentator.

Li Yingzhen persuaded her for the second time: "Yuanyuan can eat it by herself. Don't bother Auntie one by one."

He Peiyuan continued to encourage: "After eating, I will take you to play outside..."

The two mothers talked about their children's education. It turns out that the United States also has various cram schools that are extremely expensive. Chen Qunguan's eldest son's cello lessons cost hundreds of dollars per class. Speaking of this student, one must be grateful to his mentor, who has been teaching for more than 20 years.

Former Chen Qunguan's family conditions can be classified as poor and lower-middle peasants. It almost cost his parents' savings to buy a Japanese piano of unknown number of hands. Without his mentor...the children would not have the happy life they have now.

Times, it was difficult for students and teachers. Li Yingzhen was funded by the state to study abroad. After studying hard for several years, she became an expert after returning to China. However, experts did not have the conditions to integrate with the world. They really could only rely on that little foundation.

Behind closed doors, let alone inviting people to come to the school to give master classes, it is difficult to go abroad and listen to others. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, how many truly international pianists had given concerts in Puhai? Li Yingzhen can count them on her fingers.

Come out. Now, Puhai Concert Hall, Oriental Art Center, Puhai Grand Theater, so many theaters and theaters have high-quality concerts every week. But today’s Puyin students do not know the blessings in the blessings, which is called

They watched and listened but turned a deaf ear. They also said that Yang Jingxing didn't attend concerts. Are you comparing yourself to Yang Jingxing?

Chen Qunguan advised the teacher not to be angry. Young people inevitably like to compare. Ten years ago, people at home and abroad liked to compare Qin Mengli and Cheng Jiadong. Although these two Chinese piano geniuses were just about the same age and both became famous at the same time, their playing styles and repertoire were different.

Reserves are not the same approach.

At the beginning, Cheng Jiadong was even more popular. After all, he had the grand prize and his appearance was outstanding. The turning point was probably the song "Bell". When Cheng Jiadong's album first came out, the music critics and music fans were divided.

Cheers and applause made the genius's interpretation of "The Bell" go viral, and many masters also called it perfect. What was dramatic was that just three months later, Qin Mengli performed "The Bell" again at the concert, and this

The concert was also video-recorded.

"It's up to you to judge!" Chen Qunguan simply exclaimed: "As the Chinese old saying goes, they are afraid of comparing goods. Qin Mengli's sense of layering is much stronger. The vibrato of his hands is dense, accurate and powerful, and the processing of adding big jumps to chord groups is unprecedented..."

Everyone nodded, and He Peiyuan also listened carefully.

Chen Qunguan was amused: "To be honest, I was also shocked. Fortunately, I was born a few years earlier."

Everyone laughed, and He Peiyuan also said: "Besides, he was on the spot and played it very easily."

"So..." Chen Qunguan nodded and felt a little regretful: "I would say it's just that young people can't think clearly. If you obviously can't compare, you shouldn't compete so hard. The more you practice, the more you will lose your self-confidence."

Zhao Xingfu also sighed: "We are in a dead end."

"My mentality." Chen Qunguan sighed and felt lucky again: "Qin Mengli's mentality is much better and his heart is strong, otherwise... haha."

Everyone laughed, and He Peiyuan remembered: "I also heard him compare the two people, and it was similar to what Mr. Chen said. I wonder if Mr. Chen has heard of Zhang Chujia's performance?"

Chen Qunguan shook his head: "Not yet, I will have the opportunity soon. I have listened to Yang Jingxing's "The Bell", so forgive me for not inviting Miss He to the concert."

Zhao Xingfu hahaha: "Yiyi, Aunt Yuanyuan is so pitiful. I won't have any concerts to attend in the future."

What are you talking about, Yang Jingxing? He Peiyuan was really angry and wanted to explain: "I haven't heard him play many songs. I'm usually too busy and don't have time..."

Yang Jingxing replied, "I've heard her play a lot."

Perhaps Li Yingzhen was afraid that the student would be beaten, so she diverted He Peiyuan's attention: "Yuanyuan, don't let Bella's hair get on it."

He Peiyuan quickly became careful...

Chen Qunguan was serious again: "The professor said that Zhang Chujia found her own direction after settling down, so her mentality is actually her state. An Xin, when you listen to her playing the piano, you can hear her competitiveness and desire to express herself, but she can hold her own. Yu Xinting, play all

Just listen to yourself!"

Zhao Yiyi was affectionate and righteous: "Aunt Yu!"

Chen Qunguan continued to share his views on the industry: "The comparison between them is also very interesting. If she were placed 20 years ago, Yu Xinting would probably be said to be useless by music critics!"

Yang Jingxing laughed, but He Peiyuan glanced at him.

Li Yingzhen was a little sad: "It's not that good now."

Chen Qunguan was happy: "It's much better than I expected. I bought hundreds of thousands of them in Japan, which is better than Anxin's global sales."

Li Yingzhen was too embarrassed to see anyone: "Children are chasing stars, and there are a few people who listen to the piano..."

Chen Qunguan said seriously: "But I only listened to An Xin's piece once or twice, and I listened to Yu Xinting's piece several times. The more I listened, the more interesting it became. It's not how good she plays. It's good to put quotation marks around it. It's not good.

But it makes people want to listen, and they find it very interesting. After listening to it twice, I finally understood that Yu Xinting’s playing method or technique should be listened to by someone who has practiced the piano. Those who have practiced hard will feel like, oh, this little girl.

It’s fun and interesting to be able to play like this.”

Zhao Xingfu pretended to be an expert again: "It's like a competition, everyone else is running forward desperately, she is jumping up and down..."

Everyone laughed, and Chen Qunguan nodded reluctantly: "It kind of means that, but Yu Xinting is gifted in nature, but she is still technically immature. If she can improve her skills while maintaining her own style, I think she can gain a foothold.

of."

Li Yingzhen was a little worried: "It depends on her own determination and luck."

Yang Jingxing picked up some food for his girlfriend: "The last one."

He Peiyuan was polite but resisted: "Eat it yourself..."

Chen Qunguan also lamented the changes of the times, and Yang Jingxing was born at the right time. If it were twenty years ago, the same piano composition talent might not be able to exert its influence so smoothly and quickly, and it would be even harder for "Second Symphony" to become an instant success.

Yang Jingxing admitted that the "Second Symphony" was advanced. The original plan was that the Third or even the Fourth Symphony could be played like this...

Although the conversation at the dinner table was about music, work was not mentioned. Although Chen Qunguan's reputation and ability are not top-notch, if he really wants to teach, there are many prestigious schools for him to choose from. This will only happen if Pu Yin expresses his sincerity first. But from Chen Qunguan

In terms of the industry thoughts he shared, his gratitude to his teacher, and his friendship with Yang Jingxing, he should also have the sincerity to consider Pu Yin's sincerity.

After all, it was the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the three children were unable to play with He Peiyuan in the hotel lobby. They had to say goodbye to each other after a while. The children's feelings were so sincere and warm. Yiyi and Bella hugged each other again and again, and the mother couldn't pull her away.

.

He Peiyuan helped: "Be obedient, one by one, and uncle will take you to eat French fries during the Chinese New Year."

Yang Jingxing jumped up: "I didn't! It's obviously you who brought the food one by one, why don't you tell them one by one?"

He Peiyuan almost scolded: "Don't teach children to lie!

Yang blushed...

However, this meal didn't seem to leave any clues. After saying goodbye to the guests and getting in the car, the first thing He Peiyuan thought of was: "Call my mother!"

Yang Jingxing hesitated and then said: "I'll fight!"

He Peiyuan relaxed: "Hit me."

Yang Jingxing took out the phone and said, "Call."

He Peiyuan looked at: "Dial."

Yang Jingxing entered the number without even looking through his address book: "Call."

"beat!"

Yang Jingxing pressed the dial button.

He Peiyuan Feng Qingyun remained calm for two seconds, then grabbed the phone and put it to her ear: "Me! I... ran out of battery... I finished it early... It's just a simple meal, and I'm not a big shot..."

Dad... I'll go back tomorrow morning... Don't buy radishes when you buy groceries. Yang Jingxing brought a bunch of radishes... Who knows, he's crazy... and beef with soy sauce, pork elbows and sauce, don't buy them either... You're crazy, bring them.

A box of meat is going back to my hometown... It's a bit much. You can ask Li Shunkai to come over at noon and afternoon to get some. It's okay to eat..."

Yang Jingxing sounded bold in his voice: "I'll bring two bottles of wine to Brother Kai."

He Peiyuan ignored it: "Well... his friend has a car, and he will go back with him... Qu Hang will wait for him... They will have dinner after they return to Jiuchun... um... I know, I know... I won't say anything else... Bye."

Yang Jingxing patted his chest repeatedly: "I'm so nervous."

He Peiyuan was very calm: "Hurry up, it's closed."

Chinese people are hard-working. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, supermarkets even extended their business hours to 11 p.m., so there was no rush anymore. He Peiyuan wanted to sit on the ground comfortably last night to compose a book, but the floor was too hot.

It would be better to get a blanket. Yang Jingxing is also used to shopping, and he wants to buy pajamas for his girlfriend. Not that kind of pajamas, but serious pajamas. It seems that the boyfriend is interested, so He Peiyuan took a look in the furniture area. What else does he need?

After pushing a cart of useful things from Lenovo, I went to choose Spring Festival couplets. After nearly a quarter of an hour, Yang Jingxing's taste was: family portraits of peace and prosperity throughout the seasons, and everything going well. He Peiyuan was very unwilling, and she must also come to the piano room.

One picture: In prosperous times, harmony adds splendor, and great achievements take off to create brilliance.

The checkout was okay, it was only over 800 yuan, and according to He Peiyuan's calculations, her boyfriend could still afford it. What if he returned to Jiuchun?

He Peiyuan is even busier when she gets home. Everything in the kitchen, study, bedroom, and bathroom must be in place. Don’t move the Spring Festival couplets. Post them again tomorrow morning. Posting them in the morning will create the atmosphere. How can you post Spring Festival couplets at night?

Yang Jingxing actually wanted to show off: "Come and listen to the latest live version of "Friendship Variations" for my wife."

"No." He Peiyuan was not surprised: "I feel tired just looking at it."

Yang Jingxing seduces: "Come on, come on..."
