Chapter Seventy-Four: Decisions
After all, the matter of the game hall was not hidden for long. Only a few days later, the adults in Liu Yufan's family and Wang Xiaoyong's family all knew.
Chu Qing was so angry that he said Liu Yufan fiercely. Liu Yufan was not angry, but led him to the game hall of the garrison camp with a smile, and let her look at it for a while, and Chu Qing's expression changed.
She is an honest peasant woman, who has believed in steadfastness and diligence all her life. The first time she saw the speed at which the game hall was making money, she was frightened.
Sixty or seventy dollars a day? I've been working in the fields for a year, and I can't afford two months' income here?
"Xiaofan, you don't break the law like this, I see that many of those who play games are students, and other parents are not angry when they look at you." Chu Qing asked uncertainly for a while.
"Don't worry, Mom, nothing will go wrong. I don't force them to play here, it's all voluntary, and besides, most of my people here are young people in society, and there are not many students, so it's okay! Liu Yufan explained with a smile.
"Anyway, I don't understand, you have to be careful if you get this." Chu Qing still felt uneasy, and urged vigorously.
"Yes, I see, Mom." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
As for Wang Xiaoyong, it's even simpler, Liu Yufan paid him a month's salary in advance, and this guy paid a lot of money to his family. When Wang Ping saw the three big tickets, he looked at his child like an alien. Just open a game hall like that, and the monthly income is higher than your own part-time job? Thinking that his son would not be able to go to school after all, he originally planned to let him go out to work with him, but he was worried that he was too young, and now seeing that he had found such a good job, Wang Ping acquiesced. Perhaps, there is still a slight pride in his heart, the child is so young, he can bring income to the family. Look at the children in the neighborhood, many of them also don't go to school early, and they play crazy at home every day, and they are uncomfortable. Compared to them, their own children are much stronger.
Forget it, let him go, do it first, and then find a more stable job when he's older. Wang Ping thought to himself.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Liu Yufan's last piano lesson a year ago.
The "Two Creative Songs", which looked like a headache, was finally practiced by him through gritted teeth, and when he played the whole song smoothly, Jiang Ya nodded slightly, signaling that this song was okay.
"From today onwards, we will practice this Beethoven's "Small Sonata in G major", and I will show you first." Jiang Ya said, sat down in front of the piano by herself, and began to play.
I don't know why, Liu Yufan felt that Jiang Ya was a little strange today, and it seemed to be too cold.
However, after the class, Liu Yufan's attention quickly shifted to the piano. After watching Jiang Ya play it carefully, she sat in front of the piano and played.
Although today is the first time to officially learn this piece, because of the piano at home, Liu Yufan's daily practice time has been greatly extended, so this piece has also been previewed in advance. Sitting in front of the piano, Liu Yufan briefly looked at the score and began to play.
"Knock ~~~~~" The first long major chord in G major sounded heavily.
"Stop! Not so. The sound should be strong, not to fall down, but to fall, and I will do it again You watch. ”
"The contrast of dynamics should be stark, and pay attention to the dynamics marks on the score."
"Fingers should be supported when transposing"
……
"Alright, let's practice here today, and now let's talk about something else." After instructing Liu Yufan to practice, Jiang Ya sat on the stool next to her and said in an unkind tone.
"Sure enough, it came." Liu Yufan had been secretly looking at Jiang Ya's expression just now, and had already discovered that her mood was wrong, but seeing that she was taking class seriously, Liu Yufan didn't dare to ask.
"Liu Yufan, don't you have anything to say to me?" Jiang Ya looked at Liu Yufan and said "calmly".
"That~~ sister, what's the matter?" Liu Yufan smiled.
"I'm going to keep loading it up, aren't you?" Jiang Ya's tone was still so calm, but Liu Yufan knew that if his answer didn't satisfy Jiang Ya, I was afraid that the beauty in front of him would explode in the next moment.
"That ~~ sister, is it because of the game hall?" Liu Yufan thought about it before saying tentatively. Thinking about it, it seems that this is the only thing that can make her unhappy at the moment.
"You still know, Liu Yufan!" Hearing Liu Yufan say it himself, Jiang Ya's anger finally broke out, and her voice raised a few tones.
"Liu Yufan, it doesn't matter if Ma Wendong is unreliable, why are you messing around with him. At a young age, you don't go to school well, you don't practice the piano well, why do you mess up all that mess? Jiang Ya was really angry. She had great expectations for Liu Yufan, and seeing him doing something "game hall" without doing his job, Jiang Ya was so angry that she didn't even sleep well in the past two days.
"Sister, actually, the matter of the game hall was my idea for Brother Dong......" Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Liu Yufan told the reason for the matter from beginning to end.
Seeing that Jiang Ya was silent, Liu Yufan sighed and continued: "Sister, I know it's wrong not to tell you at first, but I'm afraid that you will say that I don't concentrate on practicing. Sister, don't worry, I basically don't have any heart in this game hall, someone is in charge, and I don't plan to do it for too long, I just want to accumulate some funds for learning music. ”
"I didn't even confiscate your tuition, and I also bought it for you, what money do you have to save." Jiang Ya said angrily, but was slightly moved.
"Sister, I know you're good to me, but I can't always let you take care of everything for me. You also know that if you take this path, the more you will invest in the future......" Liu Yufan looked at Jiang Ya's eyes and explained sincerely.
"Yufan, you want to take the professional path, right?" Jiang Ya looked at Liu Yufan seriously and asked softly.
"Yes!" Although she didn't say too much, she just nodded slightly, but Jiang Ya saw an extremely determined look in this child's eyes.
Somehow, the anger in Jiang Ya's heart faded a lot, and looking at Liu Yufan, she sighed faintly.
"Alas, at first, I just saw that you were talented and wanted to train you well. But I didn't expect you to think like that. Yufan, sister reminds you that the professional path is very hard, not ordinary hardship, are you really ready for this? ”
"Sister, I've thought about it. After graduating from junior high school, I went to take the alto high school! Liu Yufan said firmly.
"Alto attached to the middle school, you really dare to think!" Jiang Ya shook her head and smiled, and then said, "Yu Fan, do you know what kind of place the alto attached middle school is?" It's one of the hardest schools in China! Every year in the national selection, each session of each major will recruit three or five students, enough to be qualified to participate in the Alto High School examination, the minimum condition is the piano major level 10, at least one or more awards in international competitions! That's right, your current foundation is good, even in the entire Fu'an County, there are few students as old as you, and there are few who are higher than you, but what about the whole city? What about the province? What about nationwide? Yu Fan, do you know how many geniuses there are? Do you really know what this decision you made means? Jiang Ya "cruelly" threw a series of questions at Liu Yufan. She knew that saying such things to this kid at this time might hit him a little hard, but it was better than waiting for him to fail and then suffer that pain!
Liu Yufan was a little dazed by Jiang Ya's words. Professional piano grade 10 and winning awards in international competitions, these words sound like a fantasy. Can you really hit this seemingly impossible goal?
Seeing the struggle and hesitation in Liu Yufan's eyes, Jiang Ya sighed. I think I didn't have such a struggle at the beginning? Until now, Jiang Ya remembers the painful and desperate mood after her failed selection! Of course, compared to most people, Jiang Ya is still brave, at least she dares to try! Most people, just looking at the high threshold, lose the courage to sign up forever!
Although she eventually went to the normal school, and the piano education in it was also extremely excellent and professional, Jiang Ya knew that she would never have the opportunity to touch the top threshold. What is called "once the sea is difficult to water", people who have participated in the piano exam of the alto high school have a deep understanding.
Now, this little guy named Liu Yufan is trying to follow his own path. And his foundation is even worse than his original self. I started learning piano at the age of six, everything was prepared at home, the piano was Yamaha, the teacher was the top in the city, and the participation in competitions and master classes were all arranged in advance by the family...... Coupled with his extremely high talent, even so, he was still rejected by the alto attached to the middle school.
What about him? Before he saw himself, he had never even touched the piano, there was no music in the environment he lived in, he couldn't get any understanding and support, and even the cost of his studies had to be raised by himself......
Thinking of this, Jiang Ya couldn't help but feel a little distressed, in the face of such a student, she actually had to blame him?
"Sister, I've decided, I'm going to take the high school entrance exam!" Liu Yufan exhaled heavily, and said in a tone that was even firmer than just now. Knowing the hardships and dangers ahead, it inspired his fighting spirit even more! If you want to go, go to the best!
"Okay, Yufan, since you've decided, let's do what you want. Sister can't guarantee anything else, within my ability, I will definitely give you the greatest help! Jiang Ya said, came to Liu Yufan, stretched out her hands and pressed his shoulders, looked at him and said: "Alto attached to the middle school has always been my dream, but unfortunately, it is impossible now." Yufan, sister wishes you success! ”
"Well, sister, don't worry, I will work hard!" Liu Yufan nodded heavily and said.
"Okay, let's move on." Jiang Ya sat down next to the piano again and said.
"Sister, isn't class over?" Liu Yufan asked suspiciously.
"I'll give you a few new tunes, and from today onwards, you can't practice for less than eight hours a day." Jiang Ya said while ticking the score with a pencil.
