Chapter 41: The First Time

During the meal, Tao Meng called Yang Jingxing to order: "It's a shame that my grandmother still said that your name is good." ”

Yang Jingxing was happy: "Your grandmother has taste. ”

Tao Meng said: "My grandmother likes to come here for tea, and we will go there later." ”

After an hour of eating, he went upstairs to drink coffee, Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing: "Do you remember my grandmother?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Remember, the old man is very kind and healthy, and he is estimated to be a beauty when he is young." ”

Tao Meng smiled: "My grandmother remembers that you called her grandma because you first met." ”

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

Tao Meng asked, "How is your grandmother?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I am more than sixty, and I said that I would live to be one hundred." ”

Tao Meng said: "My grandmother is seventy-four, and she only gave birth to my father when she was thirty years old...... Where's your grandfather?"

The two talked about family problems for a long time. Tao Meng's grandfather has been dead for three years, and her father is an only child. Tao Meng originally had an aunt and uncle who felt very sorry for her, but unfortunately she didn't communicate anymore.

Yang Jingxing is exaggerating, there are a lot of relatives in the family, uncles, aunts, uncles. There are also some that are a little farther away, and they usually don't have much intimacy, but they will definitely move around during the New Year's holidays.

Tao Meng's grandmother has a great background, and before liberation, she was the third lady of the Chen family in Puhai. Tao Meng's grandfather, before liberation, was the second young master of the Puhai Tao family, three years older than the third lady. These three young ladies and the second young master are childhood sweethearts, or baby parents, although they were only teenagers at that time, but they had a good relationship.

However, in the early days of liberation, the Tao family and the Chen family had disagreements. The Tao family stayed and became national capitalists, while the Chen family moved to Hong Kong, and two years later they split up, 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 lady of the comprador capitalist has not been affected by politics and war, and is still strong and deep.

After a lot of hardships, the third young lady finally returned to China, and the second young master married the third young lady despite all resistance. At that time, it was already sixty years.

National capitalists, your capital is all national, so when Tao Meng's father spoke out, the Tao family's life was very difficult. Fortunately, Miss San 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 did his best to protect his family in the turbulent years.

Later, after the reform and opening up, the national capitalists and comprador capitalists all turned over, not to mention the strong alliance, and the cause flourished day by day.

Yang Jingxing's grandparents were all born in farmers, and it is said that there were once landlords, but the landlords did not go there.

It can be seen that Tao Meng and her grandmother have a good relationship, and they also envy the beautiful relationship of grandparents who have never blushed in their lives.

Yang Jingxing said: "I heard that my grandparents have quarreled all their lives, and now they are old and have no strength. ”

Tao Meng said: "At least I have been arguing for a lifetime, in fact, I think that era also has advantages." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Your grandfather's grandfather must have an aunt's wife." ”

Tao Mengqi: "That's just one aspect. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "It's all just one aspect. You're happy enough, be content. Yu Xinting, the girl in 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, a piano and a bed, sharing a bathroom with a group of people, and she didn't go home for the New Year. Something happens, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth are not spiritual, and you can 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 watching it. Your eyes and heart should look at your own happiness and beauty, but don't be proud. ”

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

Yang Jingxing looked at Tao Meng.

Tao Meng was angry: "This doesn't count, you set a trap!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Then you also need to be able to win." ”

Tao Meng changed the subject: "What is the happiest thing you have ever done since you were a child?"

Yang Jingxing said: "There are many kinds of happiness, and they can't be compared." ”

Tao Meng was curious: "Just say two things." ”

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

Tao Meng annoyed: "Who will remember...... Even if it is. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "When I was a child, I was very happy to buy a game console, I was happy to go home on vacation, and I was happy to be a good person......

Tao Meng didn't believe it: "What good things do you do?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm not proud. ”

Tao Meng was so anxious that he poked the plate with a spoon: "Say it quickly!"

So the two changed the topic and talked about their respective childhoods. Tao Meng had a very good friend in elementary school, both of them practiced the piano, and the girl also went to Tao Meng's house, but unfortunately Tao Meng went to Shangpu to study in junior high school, and slowly did not contact again. Tao Meng was still a shuttlecock kicker when she was a child, and she had no opponents in the entire grade, and she was also very good at flying kites, and she could also play spinning tops.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I have the opportunity to take you nostalgic for your elementary school days." ”

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

Yang Jingxing asked, "What grade have you ever played Jiajia?"

Tao Meng said: "In the second and third grades, I have a deep memory anyway. ”

Boredom and nonsense time passed quickly, and it was four o'clock when Yang Jingxing received Zhang Jiahuo's call. Zhang Jiahuo said that there was a dinner and asked him if he wanted to go, and several well-known musicians were there. Yang Jingxing lived up to his kindness and said that he couldn't leave.

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

Tao Meng said: "I'll go back at five o'clock, it's too late." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Then let me take you out of the city to show off." ”

Tao Meng was immune: "It's okay to walk, it's too long to sit." ”

The two circled around Jin Mao twice, and then Yang Jingxing sent Tao Meng home. When there were still one or two hundred meters away from his home, Tao Meng called for a stop, pointed to the eighteen-story building from a distance and said, "My house is on the twelfth floor." ”

Yang Jingxing also knew the interest: "See you again." ”

Tao Meng nodded: "See you again...... You text me when you get to school and I'm off. ”

Yang Jingxing reminded: "Take the score." ”

"Oh...... See you again. ”

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

It seems that Yang Jingxing is really going to become a celebrity in the school, as soon as he arrives at the piano room, even the administrator welcomes him, and he specially asks the students in the room he usually uses to change places, Yang Jingxing hurriedly said no.

On Sunday morning, Yang Jingxing met Yu Xinting when he went to school. Yu Xinting handed over an apple and grinned: "You will definitely not be able to eat this in three bites." ”

Yang Jingxing asked, "Where is An Xin?"

Yu Xinting said: "I went to play with her classmates." ”

Yang Jingxing suggested: "You can go together." ”

Yu Xinting clenched her fists: "I want to practice the piano." I joined the piano club, so I can help find a tutor, and I can also lead people to choose the piano, and I want to make money. ”

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

Yu Xinting was high-spirited: "It's not wrong to make money and study!

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Going to eat hot pot at night?"

Yu Xinting asked, "Your girlfriend is coming?"

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

Yu Xinting didn't believe it: "It must be, you lied to me! I also went to practice, worship Lu." ”

Yang Jingxing is going to practice with the band all day today, and before starting, Zhang Jiahuo also taught Yang Jingxing two sentences, saying that he should know more people, and it is easier to walk with more friends. Li Yingzhen is still very dissatisfied with the band, and she regrets her hasty decision.

At noon on Monday, Yang Jingxing, who had finished practicing the piano, met Yu Xinting and An Xin in the cafeteria, and the three of them sat together, but An Xin quickly aimed at a classmate and passed over with a plate.

Yu Xinting said while eating: "Put the bag in the bedroom, otherwise there will be apples for you." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "It's so embarrassing to eat you every day." ”

Yu Xinting's expression was very serious: "I said I would buy you a big car! In the future, I will give you one every day, Monday to Friday, one apple a day without getting sick." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "But you can't give it to me at once, you have to give it one a day." ”

Yu Xinting said: "Wow, you can give two on the weekend, one for you and your girlfriend." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "How many girlfriends do I have." ”

Yu Xinting's eyes widened: "Ahhh

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

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

Yang Jingxing said: "What are you lying to? ”

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

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

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

Yang Jingxing didn't believe it: "She won't praise me like this." ”

"That's what it means, anyway...... But I know that you must have a girlfriend, don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. Yu Xinting looks very righteous.

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

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

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I don't know if it's infinite, it may be infinity for so long." ”

Yu Xinting shook her arms, as if she was going to hit Yang Jingxing, and condemned: "You are a bad person, I said that I would help you keep it secret." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I also said that I have a girlfriend, and said that I am a bad person, and I am not sorry to eat your apples at all." ”

Yu Xinting grinned, and said: "I saw your friends during the National Day holiday, they are 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 help you distribute tickets in the morning, and they all rushed to ask for it." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Of course I want it for free." "The matter of distributing tickets must have been arranged by Li Yingzhen for the students, and Yang Jingxing himself was idle.

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

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

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

Yang Jingxing said: "No. ”

"For what?" Yu Xinting was a little angry.

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

Yu Xinting was anxious: "I'm serious, do you want to come?"

Yang Jingxing was annoyed: "Explain this problem to you every day, you are my girlfriend, forget it, ask yourself to go!"

Yu Xinting lowered her head and seemed to be eating.

Yang Jingxing apologized: "Just kidding, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”

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

Yang Jingxing hurriedly said, "How is it possible, could it be that I am waiting there just to annoy you?"

Yu Xinting grinned: "Then I won't talk about your girlfriend in the future...... Is she academically important?"

Yang Jingxing was angry: "Palm!"

Yu Xinting patted her cheeks with both hands.

On Friday morning, Yang Jingxing went to eat after practicing with the band, and saw Yu Xinting actually stuffing tickets at the door of the canteen, and advised: "If you want to come, you must come." "She's cute, and most people don't refuse.

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

Yu Xinting may have been afraid of hurting Yang Jingxing's self-esteem, so she hurriedly put it behind her back: "There are not a few left." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "It's their loss if they don't come, let's eat." ”

"Good. Yu Xinting nodded, "It's only eleven o'clock, why haven't you practiced much?"

At 7 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 conductor, Symphony Orchestra of Puhai Conservatory of Music, and Li Yingzhen as instructor. The guests present were several leaders of the college, several professors of the piano department, and the director of the composition department. In addition, there are several friends invited by Zhang Jiahuo, all of whom are masters with many titles, and Yang Jingxing respects them well.

By seven o'clock, there were only about 100 empty seats of 700 seats on the first floor. Among the five or six hundred spectators, Yang Jingxing knew thirty or forty, from the department and from the piano department. Sit freely, Yu Xinting and An Xin grabbed the front position early.

After ten o'clock, Zhang Chujia, who made a cameo appearance, came to the stage to announce the curtain, which was to brag about the orchestra and conductor, and then introduce Yang Jingxing to appear. In other words, Yang Jingxing really has nothing worth saying, so 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's head big was that Zhang Chujia actually used his college entrance examination score to talk about things, which was really embarrassing.

Yang Jingxing came to the stage and got a round of applause that was not very warm, and he said thank you and sat down in front of the piano. Then Zhang Jiahuo appeared, then Fan was big, and he had to wave his hand.

A little preparation began, first Chopin First Steel Association. There are no major flaws in the band's performance on this piece, but there are no bright spots, just look at Yang Jingxing.

Li Yingzhen once said that Yang Jingxing did not have Chopin's temperament, and repaired him well. The repair was not too successful, Yang Jingxing was still not a particularly pure Chopin, but he had his characteristics, that is, he belonged to the slightly more active Chopin, and he behaved more happily. Having said that, who can get the 100% Chopin now, and Chopin's resurrection can't do it.

There was a bit of a commotion in the concert hall until halfway through the first movement, when it really fell silent. In addition to their ears being attentive, the audience also looked at the calm Yang Jingxing, which was in stark contrast to the passionate Zhang Jiahuo.

Chopin First Steel Concord is a little shorter than La Three, but it is also half an hour. At the end of half an hour, the applause rang out slowly, and it took half a minute from sparse to enthusiastic, and it was obvious that many people were following the trend.

Yang Jingxing wanted to hurry up and start the next one, but Zhang Jiahuo didn't allow it, so he pulled him to stand up and accept the applause. Yang Jingxing bowed twice and then sat back in front of the piano, then turned his head and smiled at Yu Xinting and An Xin's friends. An Xin's thin, dark female companion was as happy as something, and almost stood up.

Next is the main event, Zhang Jiahuo directs the band with a very powerful posture. Yang Jingxing's expression was still so calm, and his hands were diametrically opposed.

The conductor seems to be really in the groove, movement after movement, without any pause. An Xin's layman friend also asked, is it so tiring to play the piano? Yang Jingxing's occasional body tremor can make the sweat on his head splash.

This is Director Sun's evaluation of Yang Jingxing, don't look at him as stable as Mount Tai, in fact, his actions and feelings contain a huge amount of strength.

In the climax before the end of the third movement, there were already people in the audience who could not help but applaud, and some people stood up. But they had to wait a minute, because the end of this powerful climax was a bit long.

Finally waiting for the end, Zhang Jiahuo turned around violently, raised his baton high, and received the sudden warm applause, like a triumphant general with such pride and joy.

Yang Jingxing, who was still dancing on the keys just now, was gentle, and he was a little embarrassed, as if he had just played some kind of beautiful sound.

They are all people from the Conservatory, and they will appreciate it, and the applause will be 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 and thanked him, and stood all the time, waiting for two minutes of applause before it ended.

Those who have heard of Yang Jingxing but have always been skeptical will not need to doubt it in the future, genius is genius.

Originally, he had made an appointment with Yu Xinting to eat hot pot, but Yang Jingxing wanted to leave early, but the audience didn't agree, and kept making trouble there, and some people shouted for another one.

Zhang Jiahuo and Yang Jingxing discussed and wanted to return. Yang Jingxing had no choice but to do so, and then there was another Chopin Steel Association.

Another half hour, and more 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 still valuable to be recognized by the audience, and the professors and leaders who have heard Yang Jingxing's performance before have come to congratulate and praise. Zhang Jiahuo seems to like dinners, and said that he wants to be his own, and everyone will go to have fun together.

Yang Jingxing really doesn't know how to be a person, so he actually said: "Commander Zhang, I made an appointment and left first." ”

Zhang Jiahuo glared with a smile: "Who?

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "Several, they are all friends, they are embarrassed." ”

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

Yang Jingxing pleaded: "Can you not go?"

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

Zhang Jiahuo instructed: "Go, go!"
