The landing of the arcade machine, as Liu Yufan expected, caused a great sensation in Fu'an. Especially for those fans of the game, it's a huge boon. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., there is a constant flow of people in front of the console!

Such a hot scene was unexpected by Ma Wendong.

If it weren't for Liu Yufan's repeated insistence, Ma Wendong would have let it run 24 hours a day. Seeing that the game currency was thrown in, the banknotes also poured in like flowing water. Compared with the video game console for one dollar an hour, this kind of arcade machine with a high competitive surname is even more than enough to eat money, except for a few masters who can hold on to a coin for a little longer, those who are not technically good, basically use coins to "pile", that crazy state, let Ma Wendong's little brother watching the field is also speechless!

Of course, there are good things and bad things. Seeing that the game hall is so prosperous, those "relevant departments" can't sit still, and they have come over to "exercise their duties", if there is not Ma Wendong behind this store, I am afraid that it would have been investigated a long time ago.

However, Ma Wendong's efficiency is still quite high, and after running up and down for a few days, he really let him run down the whole set of business procedures. The arcade has become a legal operation, and the relative hassle is much less.

Liu Yufan is a hands-off shopkeeper, and when he saw that the game hall had settled down, he didn't bother anymore. Every month, Ma Wendong takes care of it for him, first devoting himself to the operation of the game hall, and saving the rest first. He hasn't thought of any new investments yet. And although he is a reborn, he is not good at doing business, and he is very satisfied with his current scale and income.

Jiang Ya was still away from him, which made Liu Yufan the most uncomfortable. Occasionally, when she came back from learning the piano twice and passed by her, she only symbolically asked Liu Yufan's progress, what difficulties there were, although she was also very concerned, but she didn't have the ease and intimacy of the past, and it seemed that she wanted to reposition the two people in the past "teacher and student" state in this way.

I wanted to open my mouth to ask Jiang Ya a few times, but when the words came to my mouth, I didn't know how to say it.

Mo Yan's side is as stern as ever. The thirty piano etudes written by Mo Yan himself, Liu Yufan has practiced to the twenty-sixth point. As the practice deepened, Liu Yufan's admiration for Mo Yan became deeper and deeper. Each of these etudes is very strong for the surname, and there are training for the left hand, there is training for the black keys, and there is training for polyphony...... I didn't think it when I played it, but after practicing for a while, Liu Yufan was pleasantly surprised to find that he seemed to be a lot easier to play those other etudes and music. Many technical difficulties disappear little by little, and finally there is a sense of condescension.

The more this is the case, the more Liu Yufan feels that Mo Yan is unfathomable. Because of his current level, he can easily play the ninth-grade repertoire in the original exam book, and has even begun to come into contact with some formal "tome" sonatas, but Mo Yan is still familiar with teaching him and is at ease. Liu Yufan felt that in Mo Yan's eyes, his level was still that of a beginner, and he seemed to have a lot of things to say.

Every time he took a class, Mo Yan would throw out some new tricks. And when talking about those large-scale sonatas, Mo Yan's deep understanding of the tunes made Liu Yufan secretly surprised!

What should be done with the dynamics, tempo, and expressions marked on the score, and what should be paid attention to, and what should be done with a particular piece of music that does not have fingering...... When talking about this, Mo Yan always picked it up and said, as if those things were familiar to his chest. When demonstrating for Liu Yufan, Mo Yan also stretched out his hand to play, and the standardized technical movements, played ten times, were still as accurate as if they were played on tape, making Liu Yufan wonder if he had practiced this song hundreds of times.

At this time, Liu Yufan couldn't help but inquire about Mo Yan's identity. With his intuition, Mo Yan will not be an ordinary piano teacher or enthusiast, at his level, I am afraid that he can be qualified in a formal music academy! Of course, Liu Yufan has never been to those high-level conservatories, so he doesn't know what level the professors in them are. But Mo Yan can give him such a feeling. Forever unfathomable, all the piano tricks in front of him, it seemed that the ministry could be perfectly solved. At this level, if you don't have an extremely professional education, you won't believe it if you kill Liu Yufan.

It is also strange to say that whenever Liu Yufan asks about this, Mo Yan always talks about him left and right, as if he has something to hide from Liu Yufan. After trying a few times to no avail, Liu Yufan gave up, no matter how much, anyway, if he can meet such a powerful teacher as Mo Yan, Liu Yufan should be secretly happy, since people have unspeakable secrets, Liu Yufan does not have the hobby of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, another year passed in Liu Yufan's piano learning career.

The young men of sixteen and seventeen are like sorghum stalks in the summer field, growing up one day at a time. For more than a year, Liu Yufan's height has also jumped up, from the original height of more than one meter six to one meter five, the family conditions are good, and the nutrition of the diet is also sufficient, plus Liu Yufan has the habit of exercising, his body is as strong as a calf, a short board head, a face full of masculinity, and it is full of spirit! Walking on the street, not to mention the high rate of turning heads, those big girls and little daughters-in-law are also blushing and heartbeating.

Entering the third year of junior high school, Liu Yufan's study life also became tense. Every day, there are unfinished homework and unfinished papers. The amount of knowledge in the entire junior high school is still huge, even with Liu Yufan's previous knowledge reserves, if he doesn't study hard, I'm afraid he will soon be pulled behind.

Under such circumstances, Liu Yufan's daily time for practicing the piano has also been compressed to three hours, which is already the limit of what he can do. Fortunately, Liu Jianjun and Chu Qing are also reasonable people, and seeing that Liu Yufan's academic performance can still remain in the top three in the grade, they did not completely stop him from practicing.

The practice time is shorter, and the progress of natural learning is much slower. Fortunately, Mo Yan was not in a hurry, Liu Yufan was slow, so he slowed down the speed of the lecture, but there is one point, for the technical essentials of the song, it is not ambiguous at all, but once, twice, and three times, in this regard, Mo Yan fully showed his stubborn and stubborn side.

It was another Saturday, and the weather was gradually getting cooler, Liu Yufan held a down jacket in his hand and knocked on the door of Mo Yan's house.

"Here we go." Looking at Liu Yufan standing outside the door, Mo Yan nodded, although there was no smile on his face, but there was naturally a kind taste in his words. People are not plants and trees, they all have feelings, and they have been getting along for more than a year, and Mo Yan is also very satisfied with this student. In addition to learning the piano seriously, in other aspects, Liu Yufan also showed a carefulness that was not commensurate with his age. For example, take the initiative to help Mo Yan cook a meal, clean the room, or buy some fresh fruits, seasonal clothes, etc., just like a child. Although Mo Yan didn't say it, he was satisfied in his heart, this is a student with a heart.

"Well, teacher, it's cold, I bought you a down jacket, can you try to fit it or not." Liu Yufan smiled and handed over the bag in his hand.

"How many times have I told you, don't buy things indiscriminately!"

Mo Yan blamed, but he didn't stop Liu Yufan from putting the bag on the ground, in his heart, he had already recognized the fact that Liu Yufan was his student, and the student was filial to the teacher, which should be. And Mo Yan also knows a little about Liu Yufan's conditions, although this kid is not a "big money" now, there is no shortage of change in his hand. Although Mo Yan did not lack these things, he was also relieved to see that Liu Yufan knew how to honor his teacher.

"Hehe, it's not much money, teacher, let's go to class." Liu Zifan said, skillfully came to the piano room, opened the piano, and took out the piano score.

"Well, Yufan, don't be in a hurry to go to class today." Mo Yan waved his hand at Liu Yufan and said.

"Teacher, is there something wrong?" Liu Yufan asked a little strangely.

"Yu Fan, come, come and sit." Mo Yan sat on a chair in the living room and beckoned to Liu Yufan.

Although Liu Yufan felt a little strange in his heart, he still closed the lid and came to sit down opposite Mo Yan.

"After more than a year of studying, your progress is very fast!" Mo Yan looked at Liu Yufan and said with relief. "It's all taught by the teacher." Liu Yufan said modestly. He didn't compliment Mo Yan, he really said it from the heart. Although Liu Yufan has only experienced two teachers in this life, counting the previous life, he has experienced several music teachers. To be honest, Jiang Ya is the kind of person who is particularly responsible and careful, and this Mo Yan is really a~ If you really want to find one word to describe it, it is: professional!

It's so professional!

Although Liu Yufan has never attended any music academy, and he doesn't know what level those professors are, but in his subconscious, Mo Yan probably belongs to that kind of teacher, and even, only high, not low.

For Mo Yan, Liu Yufan also gradually changed his views from the initial resistance, to the later recognition, and until the current admiration. Mo Yan's temper is a little weird, but when it comes to piano teaching, it is definitely first-class seriousness. This is what Liu Yufan admires Mo Yan the most.

"Okay, you don't have to be modest, no matter how well I teach, if you don't practice well, it's in vain. Over the past year, your progress has been good, barely meeting my requirements. ”

Mo Yan said casually.

Listening to Mo Yan's words, Liu Yufan was speechless for a while, he practiced so hard, and dared to be affectionate in the eyes of others, but he just "barely reached the level of requirements"? It's a blow.

Knowing that Mo Yan still had something to say, Liu Yufan did not interrupt him.

"Yu Fan, now your piano level can be said to have reached a plateau, you don't need to practice too hard for the time being, you can maintain a certain amount every day, and your practice also needs to add some new ways." Mo Yan said.

"Plateau?" Hearing this word, Liu Yufan was confused.

"Have you ever felt that your level has always seemed to be stagnant at the current level when you have been practicing lately, and there has been no significant improvement?

This is the plateau period, this is normal, every student who learns piano will encounter several plateau periods, don't be in a hurry, just keep practicing. Mo Yan explained to Liu Yufan.

"Oh, so that's the case, I said that when I practiced this time, I always felt that the more I practiced, the more regressed, and the dare was the plateau." Liu Yufan's heart suddenly changed, looked at Mo Yan and asked, "Teacher Mo, you just said that you want to add a new way, what way?" ”
