Chapter 38: Master and Apprentice
86_86276 "Mom, why did you change the channel again?" Zhao Yue, who went to the kitchen to wash fruits, saw that the TV had changed from a cartoon to noon news, and immediately reluctantly went to grab the remote control.
"Don't make a fuss, you know how many times I've told you to watch cartoons, and it's good to watch the news." Liu Xiao hid the remote control behind her, and didn't want to follow her daughter's wishes at all, she was really used to it, and she didn't even have a sense of crisis.
"What does the news have to do with me, I just want to watch cartoons." School is about to start, and this kind of day of eating fruit and watching cartoons will soon be gone from her, how can she not seize the last time to indulge.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yue immediately put on a pitiful expression, and held the fruit plate in his hand forward: "Mom, my most beautiful and kind mother, just let me watch it, I will go to school tomorrow, and I don't have time to watch cartoons like this." "She is the best at spoiling, and my mother must be soft-hearted.
"No, hurry back and pack your things, if you don't live in school, clean up your room, you will throw away clothes everywhere during the summer vacation, you are so busy playing, and you will not be even more free when you go to school." Liu Xiao completely ignored Zhao Yue's set, she was worried about something else in her heart.
"Are you thinking about how Xia Ruo is not your daughter again?" Zhao Yue pouted unwillingly, since the morning report, her mother began to see that her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes, and she definitely saw that Xia Ruo's grades were better than her own, and her heart was unbalanced, she was the most uncomfortable person, right?
"What nonsense," Liu Xiao glared at her daughter, Xia Ruo's grades were really eye-catching, but she didn't look at the grades so seriously, this kid just likes to talk nonsense, but she saw that Xia Ruo's grades were better than her, why didn't she want to study hard to catch up. "You also know that she has good grades, so why don't you go back to school quickly."
"Oops," while Liu Xiao was not paying attention, Zhao Yue snatched the remote control, and by the way, put the washed grape on Liu Xiao's lap: "Mom, learning is not an overnight thing, she is extraordinary, and your daughter and I are developing steadily." Biting the apple in her hand fiercely, Zhao Yue secretly decided that she would definitely be better than Xia Ruo, she was a girl from the countryside, why?
"Xia Ruo!" After the procedures of reporting, receiving books, going to the class to recognize teachers and classmates, and cleaning up the dormitory, Xia Ruo, who said goodbye to Zhang Sang'e, was ready to go to Liu Ya to report to the school, after all, people have taught themselves the piano for so long, and they should go to see it themselves, and as soon as they left the school gate, they saw Qin Feng who was circling around the school gate.
"The hillbilly will study and live in the city in the future." Qin Feng, who was dressed in sportswear, showed a mouthful of big white teeth, looked at Xia Ruo's stunned appearance and grinned: "I'll tell grandma when I go home, I respect the teacher so much on the surface, I didn't say a word when I came to school in the county, it can be seen that it is still rude, I have to let grandma teach you a good lesson." ”
If he said that he was about to go, would this arrogant person who seemed to be grabbing his pigtails believe it? Xia Ruo smiled and walked over avoiding the crowd, "Why are you here, a handsome guy, do you think you don't study well and plan to come back?" ”
"When I come back, you're going to abdicate for the first place." Qin Feng was not far behind when he joked.
"You big man is nothing, I won't have an opinion, I'm about to go to see Grandma Liu, do you want to go back?"
"Okay, let me give you a ride in my BMW." Qin Feng led Xia Ruo to the bicycle parking place, there were a few snacks hanging on the handlebar in front of him, and it seemed that he had come to buy snacks.
"Grandma wants to eat snacks here, I came over when I was idle, and I heard about you at the gate, the name of the first place in the key middle school, and I dared to come out after confirming it, and I was about to leave, and I saw you." While unlocking Qin Feng, he explained, otherwise he would really have to wait for Xia Ruo to visit before he could know the news.
Sitting on the bicycle, Qin Feng slowly slid the car out of the crowded school gate, and did not forget to joke with Xia Ruo: "You actually took the first place in the county, are you studying hard at home all day long and not caring about playing?" ”
"Yes, I study hard all day long, and I'm sorry for my blood and sweat if I don't take the first exam." Xia Ruo, who was sitting in the back, put his feet on the pedals, and Qin Feng couldn't speak well at all.
Qin Feng sneered, and he didn't blush when he said big things. Wait until you turn two corners into the alley and you can see the courtyard where Liu Ya lives, the two osmanthus trees at the door, already two very big, and when the osmanthus blooms in September, you can definitely float incense everywhere.
Before they reached the door, Qin Feng rang the car bell, and the crisp sound came far away, and as soon as they reached the gate, Liu Ya opened the door from the inside.
Liu Ya is holding a small hoe and is making the flower bed in the yard, some small weeds are sorted out by her from the inside, the flowers and trees inside are neat, the pink roses climb high along the wall, the moon season below is just right, the small ornaments in a few pots of blue and white porcelain pots are moved to the front of the door to bask in the sun, and the small courtyard is full of the smell of life.
"Ruoruo?" Seeing Xia Ruo, Liu Ya was full of surprise, and casually washed her hands in the basin under the shade of green, and then came over to pick up the things in Xia Ruo's hand: "Why do you carry so many things in your hand, rub them quickly." ”
As a piano teacher, Liu Ya knows the importance of a pair of hands to a child learning piano, not to mention that she likes Xia Ruo's kung fu and talent in learning piano.
"It's okay Grandma Liu, it's not heavy at all." Xia Ruo rubbed it for a while and stretched out his hand to show her, except for some redness, there were no traces left on it. She has been taken care of by Liu Ya's family for so long, she really can't come empty-handed as a matter of course, and she can't buy anything else with her economic conditions, so she bought some fresh fruits outside.
"In the future, there is no need to be so polite at home, who made you my apprentice." Liu Ya picked out some of the fruits in her hand and put them in a basin and handed them to Qin Feng for him to wash, and she took Xia Ruo to the living room, she had been thinking about this for a long time today, and although the tone of her voice now was smiling, there was no hint of joking.
Apprenticeship is not the same as traditional teacher-student teaching, Liu Ya is a university professor, but there are only a few students in the real sense, one gave up halfway because of studying abroad, one became famous with the piano and went to a bigger stage, and there is another one, which is Xia Ruo, who Liu Ya thought about for a long time before planning to accept it.
The so-called time and place are favorable, Xia Ruo is also lucky, her own interests and efforts, Liu Ya's gap in life and the environment where she can now teach at close range prompted Liu Ya to make this determination, this small courtyard has been empty for many years, just like her life after retirement, playing the piano, raising flowers, reading books, and slowly growing old alone, until she can no longer play the piano, speak, or move.
People are getting older and older, and they should be looking more and more open, but in recent days, Liu Ya has panicked, her life should not have such a blank, and it just so happened that an apprentice was sent to her.
"Teacher Liu, I will practice the piano seriously and not embarrass you." Xia Ruo said seriously.
"No shame, no shame," Hearing Xia Ruo shout that she was always there, Liu Ya laughed happily, stroked her head and said seriously: "I have accepted three apprentices in my life, the eldest one is called Liu Qinghua, now she is thirty-six years old, she is highly talented and diligent, although she did not continue to study because of immigration, but her achievements in China are not small, the second is called Yang Xue, who is a famous piano performer in that country, and the third is you......"
Liu Ya, who looked at Xia Ruo, had soft eyes, and was both happy and regretful about the achievements of her students: "If you want to talk about aura, Liu Qinghua is the highest, and you are second." ”
"Every musical instrument has its soul, just like the piano, the notes can become the music in your heart as you like, it understands your mood, and will talk to you in its own way," Speaking of the piano, Liu Ya's expression was soft as if talking about her old friend: "So, it's not a musical instrument to show off skills, but something that you think it is, you know?" ”
Xia Ruo nodded, she just likes the piano, and she never wanted to say how high she wanted to practice it, if it weren't for this, she would definitely not dare to be Liu Ya's apprentice, because, what she likes never makes her feel pressure, if something makes you feel pressure, it will soon become something you once liked.
Liu Ya laughed: "It's good to keep you in your current state, and when your parents are on the scene one day, we will hold an apprenticeship ceremony." ”
"Alright, the pianist and apprentice have eaten the fruit." Qin Feng walked over with the washed fruit, "It seems that I did a great deed today." ”
Cut, that's a good thing
