Chapter 169: Invite the second master out of the mountain
"Brother Dong, I'm really sorry, I want to trouble you again, in fact, if you don't have time, just let Brother Huang Mao and them send me a little." Sitting in Ma Wendong's newly bought Audi, Liu Yufan said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, I just want to go to Jianghai to do something, how many times have I told you, don't see Brother Dong like this, who is with whom." Ma Wendong smiled casually while driving the car.
Today is a vacation in Fu'an No. 1 Middle School, Liu Yufan wanted to see Teacher Mo and the second uncle Ma Hua in Jianghai, and originally wanted Ma Wendong to help find a trolley, but he didn't expect people to come over in person.
"Hehe, Brother Dong, you changed it again, isn't that Cherokee very good?" Looking at the brand-new Audi, Liu Yufan asked suspiciously.
"Oh, that car was driven by a brother, how about it, this car is okay." Ma Wendong patted the leather steering wheel and said with a smug face.
"Needless to say, it cost a lot of money." Liu Yufan asked with a smile.
"Hey, I don't have a lot of money, man, isn't this thing good. The wife can't be changed, so it's okay to change the car. Ma Wendong said, laughing.
Listening to Ma Wendong's words, Liu Yufan also laughed. However, I also had the idea of buying a car.
Now I have to run to my hometown and the rivers and seas, and it is really inconvenient to trouble others every time. Liu Yufan is now over 18 years old, his ID card has also been issued, and he can also obtain a motor vehicle driver's license according to the regulations. Although he had never bought a car in his previous life, he had also taken a driver's license, so he was no stranger to driving.
After listening to Ma Wendong's words, Liu Yufan's car-loving complex was also hooked.
"By the way, Brother Dong, I want to apply for a driving school to learn a driving book, I don't know which one is better." Liu Yufan asked suddenly.
"You want to learn to drive, it's easy to do, the principal of our county's Yunfa driving school is my buddy, just talk to him when the time comes." But if you haven't touched a car before, it's best to practice. Ma Wendong said.
"Well, I've touched the car a little, but I don't drive a little bit of hands, I guess it's not a big problem, if the driver's license is easy to handle, it's no problem." Liu Yufan was also very happy to hear that there was a way on the side of Ma Wendong's driving school.
"That's simple, when I come back from Jianghai today, I'll take you to find a spacious place, you can use my car to practice, I'll teach you, this thing is simple, you will learn it." Ma Wendong said with a smile, seemingly excited at the mention of the car.
"Hehe, that's great." Liu Yufan was also very happy to hear it. Once you learn to drive, it will be much easier for you to go anywhere in the future.
Ma Wendong, the community of Mo Yan's family, always went, they were all familiar, the car entered the river and the sea, and soon stopped downstairs at Mo Yan's house.
rejected Ma Wendong's invitation to eat together at noon, and Liu Yufan went upstairs with a familiar car.
There was a familiar piano sound inside, Liu Yufan knocked on the door, the piano stopped, and after a while, the door opened, and Mo Yan, who was dressed in home clothes, stood behind the door.
Seeing Liu Yufan outside the door, Mo Yan's face, which had always been unsmiling, also showed a hint of a smile, nodded and said, "Coming?" ”
"Well, Mr. Mo, it's been good lately." Liu Yufan said hello as he entered the door, and put the fruit in his hand on the coffee table. Every time he comes here, he is not empty-handed, although it is not a valuable thing, but it is what Mo Yan likes. For this student, Mo Yan didn't say anything, but he was extremely satisfied in his heart.
"It's good, you're not busy with your homework." Mo Yan sat on the sofa and motioned for Liu Yufan to sit down as well.
In the middle room, the second uncle, Ma Hua, also walked out. Originally, his injuries had been completely healed, and he had long wanted to go back to Dazhai Village, but Mo Yan and him hit it off at first sight, and they dragged him to live at home for a while. The two old men finally said that they played chess together and talked about music, but they were not lonely, and after a long time, the second master was also used to the words here, and he didn't go back. He is a lonely old man, with no children and no daughters, and he has nothing to worry about.
"It's okay." Liu Yufan said with a smile, and then said hello to the second uncle, Ma Hua.
"Well, the homework on the piano is not wasted." Mo Yan asked casually.
"No, I'm practicing every day." Liu Yufan said, briefly talking to Mo Yan about his experience during this time, especially mentioning the "Jianghai Cup".
"Oh, don't you say I almost forgot, I know this Jianghai Cup, I also went to see it last time, and it was still very formal, and the judges invited were also more professional, so it's okay to try it, don't care too much about the results, the important thing is to exercise the stage experience." Mo Yan nodded and said.
"I see, Mr. Mo. By the way, there is a boy in our class, and he plays the piano very well, and the two of us are from the same dormitory, and he said that his teacher is Yin Chengzong, and he really didn't expect to see Yin Chengzong's students here. When Liu Yufan talked about Yin Chengzong, his expression was a little excited. After all, for a piano student, Yin Chengzong's fame is too great.
"Oh? Are you a student of Seongjong? Hearing Liu Yufan's words, Mo Yan showed a look of surprise on his face.
Hearing Mo Yan's words, Liu Yufan was also a little surprised, listening to his tone, he was very familiar with Yin Chengzong, could it?
Regarding Mo Yan's identity, Liu Yufan had some vague guesses before, and seeing Mo Yan's expression this time, he was even more sure of the guess in his heart.
"How does he play, better than you?" Mo Yan asked with some curiosity.
"It's pretty good, not to the level I'm at now, but the technique is very regular. He's probably going to be able to play level 2 now. Liu Yufan thought for a while and said.
Performance level is an informal term for a common surname in the professional piano world, and is usually used to distinguish the level of professional pianists. Its evaluation criteria are much stricter than those of the piano exam. For example, a student who has passed the tenth level of professional piano can barely be regarded as "performance level 1" after a period of hard training, and can basically be called a professional piano student after reaching level 2 of performance.
As for Liu Yufan, according to Mo Yan, he has basically reached the level of playing level 5 now. This level shows that he can barely be regarded as a "pianist", of course, without the training of competitions and performances, this title will not be recognized.
"Well, the student of Chengzong, it is not surprising that he has such a level. Yufan, what tracks did you choose for this competition? Mo Yan asked.
"I prepared a few Etudes by Liszt and sonatas by Beethoven." Liu Yufan replied honestly.
"Well, you should be good at these two types of works, but remember what I said, don't limit yourself to a small circle, and try to get in touch with some new works as much as possible to broaden your horizons." Mo Fang said earnestly.
"I see, Mr. Mo." Liu Yufan said respectfully, and then asked a few more questions about the current situation of the second uncle.
"Hehe, Xiaofan, I'm quite compatible with your Teacher Mo here, you don't have to worry too much, there is an activity center for the elderly not far downstairs, there is a drum band inside, I see the world playing drums in it, and I have a comfortable life." The second uncle said and smiled comfortably.
Liu Yufan also laughed. The second uncle has the grace of enlightenment for himself, and now seeing that he is doing so well, Liu Yufan is also very pleased.
Hearing the second uncle talk about playing drums, Liu Yufan's heart moved, and a thought suddenly popped up.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Liu Yufan got up to open the door, but saw Ma Huaiyuan standing happily outside the door.
Seeing Liu Yufan, Ma Huaiyuan pointed at him with a smile and said, "Hehe, you kid, when you come, you know that you Teacher Mo, and I don't care about me, an old man, it's not interesting enough!" ”
"Teacher Ma, I'm not going to go down to see you." Liu Yufan smiled embarrassedly.
"The old horse is coming." Mo Yan got up and greeted. Mo Yan's temper is a little strange, but he and Ma Huaiyuan are more compatible, and the two of them are more casual when they meet.
"Well, I heard you chatting downstairs, and you didn't invite me, so I had to take the initiative to come." Ma Huaiyuan laughed as he spoke.
"Hehe, you see you've picked it up. It just so happens that everyone is here, Yu Fan, let's get a few dishes at noon today, and I will have a few drinks with this old guy. Mo Yan said with a smile.
"No problem." Liu Yufan said, seeing that the time was almost noon, he hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Although I didn't have the opportunity to cook in high school, my skills didn't fall behind, and I listened to a few people in the living room chatting happily, and Liu Yufan's subordinates were also very quick, and soon a table of colorful and fragrant meals was prepared.
The four of them fell to the table, Liu Yufan poured wine for several people in turn, thought about it, and poured a glass for himself.
A few people are eating and chatting at will, and the topic is always inseparable from music, except for the second uncle Ma Hua, the others are professionals, but Ma Huasheng has rich experience in practice, and there are also amazing words from time to time, so that a few people nod yes.
Seeing the second uncle, the thought in Liu Yufan's heart popped up again.
"Teacher Mo, Teacher Ma, Second Uncle, I recently had an idea to do more things in the new folk music. You've all heard the song "Over the Moon" before, and this time I'm going to add elements of Chinese drums. Second uncle, are you interested in going out to the mountains to get a hand? Liu Yufan looked at the second uncle with a smile and said.
"Drumming? That's no problem, of course. But I don't understand what you're talking about. The second uncle, Ma Hua, drank the wine in the glass, and then asked with some doubts.
"It's okay, it's very simple, it's a simple way to incorporate some new pop elements into the traditional drum beat, and I promise you'll hear it." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Oh, that's fine, I'll try!" The second uncle replied simply, if he wants to say that he has no bottom in his heart to do anything else, playing drums? He's been fighting for most of his life, so what's the problem?
