For 309, Christmas in 1996 was gray, because Cai Yifeng failed to confess, and because there was an exam on the 26th, so on December 25th, there was no festive atmosphere at all.

Fortunately, the four of them should not add such a miserable thing as failing the course, Chen Zier threw all the practice questions he had done before into the trash can after finishing the high math exam, but was told by the classmates next to him: "Next semester, there will be a second volume of high math." ”

Chen Zier ushered in New Year's Day with a sentence of 'slot'.

1996 is about to become history, and the wonderful year 1997 is coming.

Cai Yifeng returned the guitar show that he had reported to the New Year's Day party, so he offended the senior sister of the student union, but he didn't care and used Liu Cheng's little bully to play games all day long.

The New Year's Day activities of 309 and 223 were also overshadowed by the failed confessions, and no one mentioned the matter of getting together to spend New Year's Day together.

So, on the evening of December 31, Chen Zier spent time with Robert and Karen, two foreigners, and he brought a few Zhonghai specialties as gifts, and the three of them ate and drank in Robert's apartment to welcome the New Year together.

For Chen Zier, after all, it is not the Spring Festival, so the feeling of the New Year is not strong, but for the two of them, 1997 is a new page.

The next day, Chen Zier came to Tianyin, not to practice, but to eat, and Han Qian invited him and Zhou Zijun to her house as guests. And her home in Zhonghai is the second floor of Tianyin......

Chen Zier went up for the first time.

Of course, Chen Zier also took advantage of this time to play the piano for a while, and after half a year of study, he ...... Still laying the groundwork.

Formal piano teaching starts with the most basic fingering, which is quite a boring process.

Han Qian was quite strict, and he forced Chen Zier to master the stave proficiently, feeling the position of each note with his hands. As a beginner, it's not difficult to learn to read sheet music, but because you're unfamiliar with the keys, you have to use your eyes to find out where every note is.

What you pop out of this way is bound to be fragmented, even shit.

Finding this feeling is the first thing to get started, which is much harder than the guitar.

But after laying this foundation, there will be a period of rapid progress, when your eyes only need to focus on the score, and your fingers can subconsciously follow the rhythm of the piece.

Before, Chen Zier has played "Swan on the Lake" and "Song of Spring", which are particularly simple, and "To Alice" is a little more difficult.

In fact, he wanted to learn "Dream Wedding", Chen Zier had a good impression of this piano piece, but Zhou Zijun struck: "Even if you technically meet the requirements of this piece, you can't play it smoothly, even if you play it smoothly, it's not beautiful, there is no three or four years, and it is a fool's dream to play "Dream Wedding" with feelings." ”

"So let's take our time to lay the groundwork. ”

Chen Zier slandered in his heart, but this was indeed Han Qian's request.

What made him feel relaxed was that Zhou Zijun did not have any huge changes after the confession that night, at least on the surface, she was still the same optimistic and smiling.

After only playing for a while, the two went upstairs. Han Qian's room is not big, with a kitchen, a bathroom, and the rest is a place where a bedroom and a living room are combined, with a bed and a small brown square table.

Han Qian cooked herself, and Chen Zier and the others looked at it curiously.

It's very girly, even if it's a little simple, but it's very clean, the bedding is neatly folded, and the sheets don't even have a wrinkle.

Estimated to be Virgo.

Han Qian said in the kitchen: "I am from Suzhou Province, and I don't have any relatives and friends in Zhonghai, so my house is a little popular today." I also want to thank you two for not letting me spend New Year's Day alone. ”

Zhou Zijun ran over to be polite to Han Qian, and Chen Zier looked at the photo frame at the head of the bed, which was a photo of her and a man, wearing a wedding dress, both of them were smiling implicitly, Han Qian was holding a flower in her hand, showing the most beautiful moment of a woman.

Later, Zhou Zijun also saw it, and she shouted to Han Qian enviously, "Sister Han, you are married!

At the dinner table, Han Qian took the wine, the kind of rice wine in Jiangnan, the degree is not high, but the stamina is very strong.

She poured three glasses and said happily: "I salute the past 1996, this year, you took the college entrance examination, I opened Tianyin, all of them are big turning points in life, and they have broken through many difficulties, and it is not easy." ”

Zhou Zijun drank it with a hippie smile.

Rice wine is a bit sweet, and in terms of taste, it tastes much better than beer and liquor.

Han Qian said, "Zijun is from S Sichuan, and I don't like to put more chili peppers when I cook, so I don't know if you like it or not, let's eat it." ”

Chen Zier also moved chopsticks and tasted fish, he is from northern Jiangsu, he is very accustomed to this taste, it is indeed good, he praised: "It is sweet, but not greasy, and the fish is very tender, Sister Han Qian, your craftsmanship is good." ”

Zhou Zijun also spearfished it, but he didn't like it: "You don't eat spicy fish no matter how you eat it, it will be fishy." ”

Chen Zier pointed to the green pepper and said, "Who said there are no chili peppers, isn't it, besides, you taste fishy?"

"For us, it's like not putting peppers in the air. ”

Chen Zier broke down and thought: You better eat other dishes.

Han Qian was mainly worried about Zhou Zijun, but when she saw that she was also eating happily, she smiled reassuringly.

The second glass of wine was Chen Zier's proposal, he said: "Sister Han said to respect 1996, I think we should respect 1997 even more, the past has passed, we have to face the future." This glass of wine, hello to 1997. ”

Zhou Zijun teased: Great philosopher, speech is different.

Han Qian felt justified and echoed: "Hello, 1997." ”

The rice wine was very energetic, and after drinking a few more glasses, girls like Zhou Zijun and Han Qian became a little excited, not drunk, but the alcohol began to work.

Zhou Zijun took the previous wedding photos and asked, "Sister Han, aren't you married, what about my brother-in-law?"

Han Qian's face was gloomy, and she drank again, and suddenly she looked sad and sighed, "He died." ”

Chen Zier sighed in his heart. Zhou Zijun's face also changed greatly, and he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Sister Han Qian... I..."

"It's okay, it's gone, and I've come out to live again. ”

Although she said that, Han Qian's eyes were a little red, and she should have endured it and not cried.

Zhou Zijun blamed himself and looked at Chen Zier for help. Chen Zier thought that Han Qian usually didn't have anyone to talk to, although they couldn't help much, but it was still okay to be a listener, so he asked, "What kind of person is he?"

Han Qian, who fell into the memory, actually showed a touch of happiness and said, "He is the best person in the world." ”

"We met at the Conservatory, we both studied piano, he was handsome, gentle, and considerate, and he was a very good husband. ”

"That..."

"You're trying to ask how he died?"

The two nodded.

"It was a car accident. In March 95, we took a car from our hometown to Zhonghai, and something happened on the way. ”

may have too deep a memory, but Han Qian finally didn't hold back her tears.

Chen Zier also felt unfortunate for her, and comforted: "Sister Han, the deceased is gone, and we must look to the future." ”

Han Qian wiped away the tears that accidentally leaked out of her eyes, forced a smile and said, "Yes, I also told myself like this, I believe that he also wants me to be like this in heaven, so I opened the heavenly sound." ”

Zhou Zijun said: "The days will get better and better. ”

Han Qian is not a little girl after all, she can slowly control her emotions, she did not cry, recalled: "When I opened Tianyin, I was forced to live, because I could only play the piano, but then I came into contact with many children who came to learn piano, and I began to feel their purity, their childlike innocence, and the beauty of life...... and hope. The two of you are the oldest, one is my student and the other is someone I recruited to help, but maybe you have the same temperament, and I treat you as good friends. ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Chen Zier, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, "Come to think of it, I also cheated you for 2,400 yuan......"

Zhou Zijun was very curious, or he wanted to change the topic, so he hurriedly asked: "Ah?

Chen Zier was silent and ate by himself. It seems that I want to eat back the lost food.

Han Qian said: "At the beginning of this year, I took a little of my savings and was ready to open Tianyin, I had a little money at that time, and I thought it would be easy to open it, so I bought three pianos directly. ”

"Later, when I added the expenses of renting a house, recruiting, and eating by myself, I found out that my God, the piano is too expensive. I'm seriously overspending my budget. ”

"The rent for the first three months was paid, but at first the number of students increased very slowly, and they all spent money, and they didn't make much money. So much so that the rent behind me couldn't be paid, and the landlord came to urge me several times. ”

She looked at Zhou Zijun and said, "At this time, this stunned young man came, and without saying a word here, I want to sign up!

Zhou Zijun couldn't help laughing, "Haha! Why are you so funny." ”

Han Qian continued: "I was also stunned at the time, thinking about this situation, and I also reminded him, then you look at our course plan and price. He waved his hand, don't look at it, sign me up!"

Chen Zier was also amused by her description, he said: "Don't exaggerate the facts, I waved my hand?"

Zhou Zijun stopped him, "Don't speak, don't speak." Sister Han continued. ”

Han Qian said: "How can I exaggerate, you came like that at that time, for fear that we would not accept you in Tianyin, and you were in a hurry." When I looked at it, it seemed that there was a rich man. I was at the end of my rope, so I simply quoted a price of 2400, which was three months of rent arrears. ”

Zhou Zijun asked: "And then he gave the money?"

Han Qian nodded, "I didn't even twist my eyebrows." ”

Zhou Zijun laughed, scolding him for being stupid and not using his brain.

Chen Zier was also embarrassed and retorted: "You laugh at your benefactor so much?"

Han Qian waved her hand and said seriously: "I am very grateful to you! not only because of the 2,400 yuan, but also because you saved Tianyin and kept my life from being hit a second time." ”

This is still the same thing, Chen Zier is very satisfied.

Zhou Zijun dismantled the stage, drank too much and forgot to promise Chen Zier, and said disdainfully: "Sister Han Qian, you don't have to feel guilty, he is very rich now, and he is all the fat and ointment of our people." He will give it to you. ”

Han Qian was also curious, and asked, "Min's fat and people's ointment?"

She has always felt that Chen Zier has a family background that is either rich or expensive.

"It's not. Chen Zier denied, "I made money by trading stocks with my cleverness and wisdom and foresight for the future." She had to say that this was people's fat and people's ointment, and I couldn't help it. ”

Zhou Zijun covered his mouth, as if he realized what he said, and wanted to apologize to Chen Zier, but he didn't expect Chen Zier to understand what she meant, shook his head and said: "I don't like to publicize it when I ask you to keep it secret, but it looks contrived to cover it deliberately." It's not illegal money, and you can see the light. ”

Han Qian said, "What secret? What money? Can I know?"

Zhou Zijun had permission, so he naturally rushed to say: "The secret is that he is a millionaire." ”

Han Qian looked envious.
