Chapter 14: Pure White
At nine o'clock on Sunday morning, Hu Yiqing went to the piano room, wanting to write the prepared teaching content on the blackboard, so that he could give lessons to Yang Jingxing in the afternoon. But as soon as she heard the sound of the piano at the top of the stairs, she knew that Yang Jingxing had arrived first.
The two confronted each other, Yang Jingxing said that he wanted Hu Yiqing to have a good rest before saying that he would gather in the afternoon, Hu Yiqing said that the exam was not only Yang Jingxing's business, but she was also responsible as a teacher.
So I seized the time and started practicing in class. After reviewing yesterday's chords, today I started to learn the key of the key. Yang Jingxing still can't get rid of the fate of exam-oriented education, memorizing textbooks and doing questions.
When it was almost time for lunch, Ren Chuyu came to visit Yang Jingxing. But Hu Yiqing was there, which affected her performance, so she could only ask Yang Jingxing: "Are you not going to eat?"
Yang Jingxing pointed to the bread and water: "It's ready." ”
"So hard!" Ren Chuyu pouted, "What about Teacher Hu?"
Hu Yiqing said: "It's time to eat, then take a rest first, I'll come back at two o'clock, no problem, right?"
After Hu Yiqing left, Ren Chuyu began to open Yang Jingxing's book, looked at the blackboard again, and said, "I have also studied before, but I forgot about it, let me come to class with you?"
Yang Jingxing refused: "I said that I want to concentrate on studying." ”
"You're really not going to eat, and I'm bringing you what kind of food do you like?"
"Xie Luxie, I got it. Go eat and see how thin you have become. ”
Ren Chuyu leaned in front of Yang Jingxing and whispered: "I saw Shao Lei and Jiang Jing yesterday morning, they were walking together, Shao Lei's car. ”
Yang Jingxing whispered more mysteriously: "I saw Yang Jingxing and Ren Chuyu at noon today, they were in the piano room together, and Ren Chuyu also put on makeup." ”
Ren Chuyu giggled: "Then I'll go!"
Hu Yiqing came back at one o'clock and asked Yang Jingxing: "Have you eaten?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I ate a whole bag of bread in two minutes, which scared her away. ”
Hu Yiqing asked, "Who do you have the best relationship with at school?"
Yang Jingxing thought for a moment: "You." ”
Hu Yiqing smiled helplessly: "I'm asking about classmates." But I stopped pursuing the issue and started classes.
It was another three or four hours in the afternoon, and then Yang Jingxing had to go to the cafeteria for dinner, otherwise he would be very hungry in the middle of the night. The school has a total of three canteens, which are said to be canteens, but they are actually more like cafeterias. Yang Jingxing and Hu Yiqing went to the flower paradise together, because the food here is relatively light.
Yang Jingxing brought two plates, which was quite scary. may feel that it would be embarrassing to sit with a rice bucket, so Hu Yiqing went to the same table with the colleague he met.
Yang Jingxing devoured a quick solution to the battle, and Hu Yiqing came half an hour after he returned to the piano room, saying that he would help digestion when he dispersed, and that Yang Jingxing should also develop this habit.
After spending half an hour checking and reviewing the content of today's study, Yang Jingxing said: "Teacher, you are also tired today, go back and rest, I won't learn new content at night, consolidate it." ”
Hu Yiqing said it didn't matter, and watched Yang Jingxing practice. After looking at it for an hour, he said, "With a student like you, the teacher doesn't feel tired at all." ”
Yang Jingxing was ashamed: "I'm only at this level, don't make me proud." ”
Hu Yiqing is very serious: "The level is endless, and continuous progress is the key." ”
When it was almost nine o'clock, Hu Yiqing began to yawn with eye drops, and Yang Jingxing threatened her to go home to rest with a strike, but she still struggled until the middle of the night.
On Monday, before the morning recess exercise, Hu Yiqing was waiting for Yang Jingxing outside the classroom, and said to him with an unhappy face: "Come to the office after the exercise, I have something to ask you." ”
What Hu Yiqing wanted to ask was, "Did you see Professor Li Yingzhen on Saturday?"
"Ah, yes. Yang Jingxing nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me!?" Hu Yiqing was very angry, she still listened to the office director in the morning.
Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "I was scolded by her, and I embarrassed you." ”
Hu Yiqing was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched: "Scold you? I can only scold you when I can afford you! Why don't you grasp such a good opportunity, I still want to find Teacher Chen to guide you......" She knew that it was difficult to teach Yang Jingxing to 299 with her piano level. And with Yang Jingxing's progress speed, she will soon face her bottleneck.
Hu Yiqing asked again: "Did you give you a business card?"
Yang Jingxing nodded.
"Did you call?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head.
Hu Yiqing was so anxious that he rubbed his hands: "You hurry up, do you know what Lu Dao said?"
Yang Jingxing was very uncompromising: "Wait until I have practiced before I fight, let her see that my teacher is not a vegetarian." ”
Hu Yiqing really wanted to bite Yang Jingxing twice to relieve his hatred, his face turned a little red, and he pointed at Yang Jingxing and said: "You give me the business card, do you know how many detours you can take if she is willing to teach you, how much time you can save! Go and get the business card!"
Yang Jingxing said: "I remember the phone number. ”
Hu Yiqing hesitated again after taking the phone number: "You have to grasp the opportunity yourself, or should you call it yourself...... Forget it, I'll help you fight. ”
The phone was connected, but it was the assistant in Li Yingzhen's studio who answered, saying that the professor was not there, and of course he refused to reveal the boss's mobile phone.
Hu Yiqing said for a long time before the other party understood that she was the teacher of one of the students whom Professor Li met and criticized, and she repeatedly begged: "Trouble you, you must tell Professor Li that this student wants her guidance very much...... Shangpu High School, called Yang Jingxing...... Yes, excuse me...... You can contact me directly, thank you, thank you so much!"
The class bell had already been rang, Hu Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yang Jingxing and said, "Go to class." Don't think too much about it, even if you can't get in touch, it's nothing, you're not going to take the piano exam, are you?"
Yang Jingxing nodded and asked, "You won't want me, will you?"
Hu Yiqing stomped his foot, his heel slammed on the ground and made a crisp sound, and ordered: "Go to class quickly!"
Yang Jingxing ran away, and Hu Yiqing laughed behind.
Hu Yiqing didn't look forward to it for too long, the phone rang at eleven o'clock, it was that number, and she hurriedly answered: "Hello." ”
"Hello, I'm Li Yingzhen, who are you?"
"Hello, Professor Li, I'm sorry to disturb you. You supervised a student named Yang Jingxing at Shangpu High School last Saturday, thank you, I am Yang Jingxing's teacher......"
"Well, I know, what's the matter with you?" Li Yingzhen's words were not enthusiastic.
Hu Yiqing hurriedly began to organize the language several times: "Professor Li, you are an expert and must be very busy, if Yang Jingxing is not a good student, I don't dare to disturb you rashly." Yang Jingxing is really a very talented and hardworking student, he really ...... Professor Li, could you please give him some pointers? She was afraid that others would get tired of listening to her, so she didn't dare to say too much at once.
Li Yingzhen said something to others before saying to the phone: "It's the third year of high school, what are you doing early? You are his first teacher." ”
Hu Yiqing hurriedly said: "I'm just the music teacher in their class, I basically didn't teach him to play the piano, and I can't teach him." Yang Jingxing learned the piano when he was a child, but I think he is really talented, and he is so hard-working, he must be able to practice. ”
Li Yingzhen disagreed: "Talented and hardworking, how can you play like that!? I want to run without learning to walk, how can I teach this kind of student?"
Hu Yiqing immediately said: "Professor Li, this is all my responsibility, I don't have the ability to teach well, I was looking for other piano teachers for him, I didn't expect him to meet you, this may be providence, Professor Li, please give him a chance." ”
It seems that Hu Yiqing is not such an irresponsible teacher, and he also has the heart to love and cherish talents. Li Yingzhen said, "You tell me about the specific situation of this student." Even if you are a good seedling, how can you be taught to be like that!?"
So Hu Yiqing said that she knew the truth. Yang Jingxing learned the piano when he was a child, but his home was in a small city, so he was inevitably limited by objective conditions and could not get the best teaching. And now there is a lot of pressure to go to school, heavy learning tasks, and the family wants to be a Jackie Chan, and there is basically no time to practice in junior high school and high school. However, the flame of Yang Jingxing's music dream has never been extinguished, and at the critical moment of the third year of high school, on the premise of promising his parents not to drop the cultural class, he still wants to work hard once and not leave regrets in his life. Hu Yiqing emphasized how she watched Yang Jingxing make rapid progress every day, and this progress was based on how hard she worked.
"Every day after dinner, I went into the classroom, and I practiced until two or three o'clock in the morning, and the people in the school management office were talking about him. On weekends, I stayed in the classroom all day, and I brought bread for lunch. Hu Yiqing also did not consider the credibility of these words.
Li Yingzhen said again: "If you don't work hard, you can't play like that." I heard that he wants to go to the composition department?"
......
Hu Yiqing called for half an hour before returning to the office, and her colleague asked her, "What are you happy about?" ”
"Oh, nothing. Hu Yiqing still smiled.
Before class ended at noon, Hu Yiqing came to Yang Jingxing again, she took Yang Jingxing aside, and said in a grim manner: "We will go to see Professor Li at two o'clock this Saturday afternoon." ”
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes." ”
"Prepare well, and don't play those difficult ones. ”
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Xie Lu, thank you." ”
Hu Yiqing smiled a little brightly: "Come on." ”
Then he still practiced hard every night, Hu Yiqing accompanied Yang Jingxing until about ten o'clock, staring at him to practice the basics, hoping that Li Yingzhen would be able to change his opinion of Yang Jingxing at that time.
On Friday afternoon, Hu Yiqing returned to the city and made an appointment with Yang Jingxing to meet at the gate of the Puhai Conservatory of Music at noon the next day. He told Yang Jingxing to rest early and have the best mental state tomorrow.
Yang Jingxing arrived in the city at nine o'clock in the morning on Saturday and wandered around. At ten o'clock, I received a call from Hu Yiqing and asked him if he had left. Knowing that Yang Jingxing had already arrived in the city, Hu Yiqing invited him to his home for lunch, but of course Yang Jingxing was embarrassed to go.
Yang Jingxing waited for half an hour at the gate of the primary school affiliated to Puhai Conservatory of Music before Hu Yiqing came, and Hu Yiqing said that he was embarrassed while noticing the bouquet in Yang Jingxing's hand.
"Happy holidays. Yang Jingxing handed over a relatively vegetarian bouquet of carnations and a small bag.
Hu Yiqing was a little embarrassed: "Xie Lu, thank you...... Yesterday you were the whole class sending it together. "Today is Teacher's Day.
Yang Jingxing said: "That's the form, this is the heart. ”
Hu Yiqing looked at the bag, and then at Yang Jingxing, and was very surprised: "How do you know how to choose this brand?" Skin care products, mid-range brands, a bottle of moisturizing liquid is only a few hundred yuan.
Yang Jingxing said: "I asked my mother. ”
Hu Yiqing smiled: "Your mother is very beautiful." He also criticized: "You shouldn't buy such an expensive thing." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "It's me who caused you to not sleep well." ”
Hu Yiqing suddenly laughed a little slyly: "Isn't it ugly?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head again and again: "No, I just think the trend of getting more and more beautiful is a little slow." ”
Hu Yiqing gritted her teeth and made a threatening expression, but she still couldn't hold back her laughter. She looked at her watch and said, "There's still half an hour, we'll wait a while." ”
The sun was shining hot, and the two of them chose a shady place to stand. After Hu Yiqing said that he didn't need water and cold drinks, Yang Jingxing said, "I'll borrow flowers to offer Buddha later, okay?"
Hu Yiqing looked at Yang Jingxing for two seconds before he understood, and stomped his feet: "Really, I forgot about this...... Wouldn't it be nice to just send flowers? It's too late to buy them now, so I'll give them to Professor Li. Hu Yiqing wants to dedicate his skin care products.
Yang Jingxing smiled: "She's so old, aren't you making fun of her!"
Hu Yiqing's head was big: "Then make up for it next time, alas, I didn't expect it, why didn't you remind me." He hurriedly opened his bag and wanted to hide the gift given by Yang Jingxing. But I couldn't fit it, so I had to leave the small bag and take out the contents and put them in my handbag. There are moisturizers, serums, lotions, cleansing powders, almost a complete set. There is also a card, Hu Yiqing opened it and looked at it before putting it in, and wrote: Teacher Hu, thank you, I wish you beauty and happiness.
Hu Yiqing glanced at Yang Jingxing and didn't say anything.
Hu Yiqing received a call at a quarter past two o'clock, but it was not Li Yingzhen, but her assistant. The three of them met, and the assistant introduced himself as Zhang Chujia, a graduate student led by Li Yingzhen, and of course he also helped Li Yingzhen in class, which was regarded as a teaching assistant. Hu Yiqing had a relationship with Zhang Chujiala, saying that he had a classmate who was studying in graduate school at the Conservatory of Music, but he was in the Department of Management.
Zhang Chujia is two or three years younger than Hu Yiqing, two or three centimeters taller, and he is also a slender type. But Zhang Chujia's dress is not as fashionable and feminine as Hu Yiqing, and her shawl hair is naturally black and straight, and she still looks like a simple college student.
As for appearance, both have their own strengths and weaknesses. Zhang Chujia's eyes are slightly larger, but her face is relatively wide. Hu Yiqing's facial features are relatively exquisite, but she is relatively lacking in silhouette.
The first impression of the two women standing together should be that Hu Yiqing is gentle and small, and Zhang Chujia is hearty and lively.
Because Professor Li was busy, he couldn't come in person, and Zhang Chujia apologized. Hu Yiqing said it didn't matter, and told Yang Jingxing: "It's the same to get Mr. Zhang's guidance." ”
So Yang Jingxing gave the flowers to Zhang Chujia: "I wish Teacher Zhang a happy Teacher's Day." ”
Zhang Chujia took the flower and smiled: "This is for Professor Li, right? Don't worry, I will tell you." Hey, show me your hands. ”
Yang Jingxing stretched out his hands to Zhang Chujia to look at them. Zhang Chujia looked at it and smiled: "It's so big." Have you eaten...... Let's go, then. ”
Walking on the road, Zhang Chujia told Yang Jingxing that Li Yingzhen's explanation to her was to let Yang Jingxing follow the classmates with the small piano version in class, and she could only audit.
Zhang Chujia also felt funny and asked Yang Jingxing: "No opinion, right?"
Hu Yiqing helped answer: "No, no, thank you." ”
Zhang Chujia said to Hu Yiqing again: "If you are not busy, you can join us, and if Professor Li can't come, I will call you." ”
Hu Yiqing hesitated and asked, "What about the tuition?"
Zhang Chujia said: "Audit, don't pay tuition." ”
There are three students in the piano class that let Zhang Chujia take class, two boys and one girl, all of whom are teenagers. Where Yang Jingxing went to stop, I don't know whether the road stands out from the crowd or the chickens stand out from the crowd. The three children didn't show any interest in Yang Jingxing's big brother, but their parents were very surprised.
Of course, the parents prepared Teacher's Day gifts, but Zhang Chujia refused to do anything other than the card, and said that Professor Li never accepted gifts, which everyone should know.
The place where the class is held is also a small classroom, a few chairs, an upright piano, and it seems to be old. Fortunately, there is air conditioning, otherwise this kind of weather is really unbearable for ordinary people.
Zhang Chujia sent a few textbooks to Yang Jingxing and asked him to take a good look, as if they were all things he already understood. After preparing for a while, the class began, and the main form of teaching was that the little ones played, Zhang Chujia kept stopping on the side, correcting mistakes or inappropriate places, and then the students played again.
When Zhang Chujia spoke, he occasionally glanced at Yang Jingxing and found that this guy listened very carefully. Not only is Yang Jingxing serious, Hu Yiqing is meticulous, and he also takes notes.
The three children took turns to play, and everyone went up several times, but Yang Jingxing could only sit still, like a big fool.
But it's really rewarding. Although I am still a teenager, I have already paid equal attention to musicality and technique when I practice, different chords, different tunes, different musical phrases, how to deal with them, and the key points of various techniques. Although they are all elementary skills, they are enough for Yang Jingxing to absorb and use. Yang Jingxing even found that he had a lot of mistakes in his previous posture and force, and it was really unreliable to read books and learn piano by himself. So many details to pay attention to, which book is clear and clear.
During recess, Zhang Chujia teased Yang Jingxing: "How do you feel?"
"I really hope that if they make more mistakes, they will learn more," Yang said. ”
Zhang Chujia hehe: "Don't be modest." ”
Hu Yiqing said: "Teacher Zhang really teaches well. ”
Zhang Chujia patted Yang Jingxing's shoulder: "Go, show your hand." ”
Yang Jingxing smiled bitterly: "Your first impression of me is so bad?"
Zhang Chujia's voice was crisp: "Really, let me see, between classes." ”
Hu Yiqing also said: "You go play a song, so that Mr. Zhang can see what the problem is." ”
Yang Jingxing had to sit down in front of the piano and said nervously: "Then I will play the eighteenth piece of 599." ”
Zhang Chujia nodded: "Hmm." He laughed again: "None of them can play well." ”
It may be that the competition consciousness of children in different environments is very different, and the three children who are resting all look at Yang Jingxing.
Before Yang Jingxing finished playing the first bar, Zhang Chujia shouted: "Stop, stop!" looked at Yang Jingxing: "Don't you analyze the melody before playing? Look at it, these beats are actually modular, and you don't have any sense of progress when you play it!"
Yang Jingxing was at a loss: "Mold?"
Hu Yiqing hurriedly explained: "Molded in is...... You think, the interval relationship between two beats is the same. ”
"Oh, oh, got it. Yang Jingxing nodded again and again.
Zhang Chujia is not afraid of hitting people: "You're not, how do you memorize the score?"
Yang Jingxing withstood the pressure and continued, the keyboard touch and timbre of this upright piano are still a little worse than that of the brand-name grand piano, but fortunately, Yang Jingxing adapts quickly. After playing a few bars, Zhang Chujia stopped again: "It's better than just now, the etude is actually a sound training type, but why don't you have a type, it's the opposite of people." There are several sound patterns in this song......" She analyzed Yang Jingxing, and Yang Jingxing nodded again and again.
Zhang Chujia also walked to the keyboard and personally demonstrated several sound patterns, and asked Yang Jingxing to start: "Slow down, just slow down, sixteenth notes, don't be so fast." ”
Yang Jingxing continued, and two minutes later, Zhang Chujia looked at Hu Yiqing with a surprised expression. But she still stopped: "Don't be so heavy with your little finger, it's not good, but your thumb is okay." ”
Yang Jingxing played it twice, Zhang Chujia nodded, and said to Hu Yiqing: "He has good finger independence and good synchronization of his hands." ”
It's a pity that some little guys don't want to be tortured, so they called: "Teacher Zhang, you can start class." ”
Zhang Chujia remembered: "Oh, class, class...... Wait for me for a few minutes. Quickly went out, Hu Yiqing knew the same kind and went to the toilet with him.
