With a week to go until the preliminaries, Li Zhifan doesn't have much time to waste. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rules of the preliminary round are that the performance time limit is less than 15 minutes, and the repertoire is an etude by a world classical pianist, the first or last movement of a multi-movement sonata, and a piece of self-selection.

The first two songs really made Li Zhifan work a lot, the previous preliminary round has shown all his strength, if you want to advance in the preliminaries, there is not much room for skill, only work the selection of songs.

However, he has already thought of a killer move, that is, to make a fuss about the self-selected music, because the rules of the competition do not stipulate that the self-selected music cannot be original that no one has heard, and this is his biggest advantage, as for which one to choose, it has not yet been decided, but before that, he still has a few particularly important things to do.

Morning.

The weather was a little grey, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Li Zhifan took a day off from Liang Tian and took a taxi back to his parents.

As soon as I entered the unit building, I smelled a strong and pungent miscellaneous smell, and eighty percent of the home had begun to be renovated.

Sure enough, when I went upstairs, I saw my father wearing a paper hat on his head and a school uniform stained with white ash - this school uniform was from Li Zhifan's high school days, and he was standing at the door and directing the workers to scrape the wall skin.

"Dad!"

Li Zhifan covered his nose, "Have you started decorating?"

"Wait a minute!" yelled Daddy, "stand still!"

After speaking, he turned around and took a coat - Li Zhifan's school uniform when he was in junior high school: "Put this on and be careful to get dusty!"

Li Zhifan didn't wear it: "No need, I'm coming back to tell you something!"

"What's the matter!"

Dad walked out of the door and followed Li Zhifan to the corner of the stairs, "Passed?"

"No, the results will be available in a few days!"

Li Zhifan said, "Give me some money, I plan to buy a set of recording equipment, it's always too expensive to run the recording studio, and I plan to get it at home." ”

"Now?" Dad pointed to the door, "I'm decorating this, and you'll do it when the renovation is finished?"

"It won't take at least a month for you to finish this renovation?"

"Yes!" said Dad, "How much do you want?"

"Hmm......" Li Zhifan thought about it, "give 100,000 first!"

"One hundred thousand?"

Dad's eyes widened, "It's so expensive, you want to build a recording studio? Isn't it just some simple equipment? Don't think I don't understand, a mixer imported from RB will die with 10,000 pieces!"

"I can't buy something that expensive!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Aren't you planning to rent a house!"

"Rent a house?"

Dad was happy, "You don't need to rent, there is one thing I haven't told you, the house you got married, your mother and I have already prepared it for you!"

"Huh, when?" Li Zhifan was stunned, why didn't he know anything about this?

An extra house in the blink of an eye?

Although his parents are university teachers, their little salary should be about the same as saving for the elderly, and they actually bought him a house.

"You just paid a down payment when you started college, and it's been a few years!"

Dad smiled, "Fortunately, you were obedient and entered Beilin, if you insisted on going to other places, you wouldn't have this house!"

Li Zhifan sighed in his heart, Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing!

At the beginning, his college entrance examination results were not satisfactory, and he originally wanted to spend some money to go to college in the south, but his parents insisted on letting him stay in the capital, and dredged up the relationship to Beilin.

"Dad, you should have told me about this!"

Li Zhifan said: "How long will this house last?

"Okay, when you turn positive, you will repay the loan for this house yourself, and the loan was 15 years at that time, seven thousand five per month, and 11 years!"

"I'll do ......the math," Li Zhifan counted with his fingers, his eyes straightened, "Three years ago, more than a million yuan of the house? Dad, where did you buy it? On the boundary of the capital, you won't buy the house in Fangshan or Daxing, right?"

"It's not far from your group!"

Dad smiled and said, "At that time, I bought it while the house price plummeted, but the unit is not big, I will give you the address and key, and you will know if you have seen it!"

Well, Li Zhifan already has a hunch in his heart, it may be a two-bedroom living room.

After transferring tens of thousands of yuan from his father's card, Li Zhifan took a taxi to see the house first, calculate the space, and then go to the piano store and the electronic supporting market in Xisi.

This suite is not as bad as Li Zhifan originally thought, a three-bedroom hardcover room, medium apartment, clean inside, it seems that someone should often come to clean it, and eighty percent of it is made by my mother.

After calculating the comprehensive data such as the number of square meters and the year, Li Zhifan came to a result, his parents must have paid a lot of down payment back then, and now this suite is at least more than two million.

Suddenly, sitting on a house of two million, Li Zhifan's first feeling was cool, but when he turned his head and thought about it, this was the hard work and savings of his parents for most of his life, and what he had to do was to be self-reliant as soon as possible and make more money to make up for the second elder's efforts.

……

Under Liang Tian's introduction, Li Zhifan came to a piano shop.

The owner of this piano shop is a college classmate of Liang Tian, with a major in conducting, and after graduating and staying in a TJ orchestra for two years, he returned to Beijing to become a businessman, but the working environment is related to music.

The boss's real name is unknown, and when he introduced him, he said that his name was David, and after a few simple polite words, he began to ask Li Zhifan what kind of piano he wanted.

The money on the card was not enough for him to afford a grand piano worth hundreds of thousands, especially at the performance level, and David didn't have it here, so he had to transfer goods from abroad.

So I picked a 12,000 upright piano, the workmanship is just right, and it is much better than those old antiques in the group.

Then he also bought a synthesizer of 8,000, as well as two guitars, one electric and one wood, which was nearly 24,000, David said that for Liang Tian's sake, he gave him the cost price, and sold it for 22,000, not only gave him a few piano scores, but also sent them to the place he designated for free.

After spending half of the money on the card in one go, and coming out of the piano shop, Li Zhifan felt that his hands and feet were too big, but there were some things that he couldn't help but buy.

In the afternoon, I went to the computer city, assembled a computer, asked for the best sound card, and delivered it home tomorrow morning, and then went to the electronic supporting market in Xisi, and all the equipment was equipped.

This day was so tired that he was dehydrated, and when he got home at night, Li Zhifan fell asleep.

Although it was a new home, although it was the first time to move in, he didn't recognize the bed, coupled with tiredness and fatigue, he slept peacefully all night, and didn't get up until dawn the next day.
