Chapter 188: Shotguns for Cannons
On the second day of the "Jianghai Cup" piano competition, the morning was still spent in waves. The performance of the 30 young contestants has their own merits, but in general, they are all between the amateur level 9 and the concert level 1, which is relatively balanced.
The preliminaries of the Jianghai Cup Piano Competition are relatively simple, generally "one song determines the future", and there are no other additional items. said that it is a preliminary round, in fact, it is similar to the preliminary selection, if it is eliminated in this round, it will basically not have any results.
Yesterday, the most eye-catching performance was An Quantao in the youth group, this guy amazed the audience with a ghost fire etude, and at the same time, he also received the attention of many people as a "student of Yin Chengzong". During the competition, although he just sat in the audience in a very low-key manner, there were still some piano children and parents who came to talk to each other from time to time, some came to apprentice, some came to exchange questions, and even "challenged".
As for Liu Yufan, this guy found a "quiet" corner with his sister Ya and hid in Qingjing. The beauty is on the side, and Liu Yufan's interest in appreciating the competition is also much higher. Although there is nothing to comment on the performance of those little contestants, Liu Yufan has a lot of words, and he has to comment a few words indiscriminately if he has nothing to say, which makes Jiang Ya chuckle from time to time. This is said to be Liu Yufan's competition, and it is rare that the unit and the company have nothing to do, so she made a special trip to accompany Yufan, and Liu Yufan was so beautiful that he was about to bubble.
Of course, such a "blatantly" accompanying Yu Fan to watch the game, Jiang Ya's heart was also a little empty. Others are not afraid, she is only afraid of seeing her parents, although she has promised Yufan now, but she is also "in charge", you know, the family has not passed that level. Others don't say it, Jiang Ya knows that her mother Liu Fang's temper has no shadow last time, so she nagged herself for a long time, and now she and Yu Fan have "made a private life", which has to let her know, and she can't tell what her anger will become.
"Alas, let's delay it for a while." Thinking of this, Jiang Ya sighed faintly, looked sideways at Yu Fan's face, and sighed in her heart, this guy was really his enemy in his previous life, and somehow, his heart was filled with his shadow, the more he wanted to let go, the tighter he was bound, the more he wanted to stay away from him, but he was pulled closer and closer, knowing that this relationship was not suitable, but he couldn't control his feelings, what is this not an injustice?
"Fan'er, I hope you don't have to bear me." Jiang Ya sighed lightly in her heart, shook her head, no longer thought about these messy things, and concentrated on watching the game with him.
At noon, the two of them did not eat with Peng Tielin and them, but found a secluded place, ordered some simple things casually, and chatted while eating.
"Yu Fan, the competition is coming up in the afternoon, do you want to find a place to practice the piano, hot hands?" After eating, Jiang Ya asked with concern.
"No need, sister, the songs of the competition have already been played thoroughly, it is better to put them on for a few days, and give birth to some." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Oh? Your statement is fresh, why is it okay that the song was released. Jiang Ya asked with a smile.
"What Mr. Mo said, I feel quite reasonable. Some of the songs are too familiar, so they play the oil, but they don't feel anything, but after a while, they pick it up and play it again, but they feel more, and there are often unexpected improvements. Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Mr. Mo is not an ordinary piano teacher, what he said must be reasonable. By the way, have you been to see him lately? Jiang Ya asked.
"Well, I went there once a few days ago, it's good, now I play chess with the second master every day, study music or something, it's much more interesting than before, hehe." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"I really didn't expect that these two people could get along quite well, and it was really not easy for them to find a common language between them." Jiang Ya said as she opened the car door.
"Yes, it's not that music has no borders, this is the power of music, although the second master is not highly educated, but he has a very keen sense of music, and he also has his own opinions. Liu Yufan said with a smile.
After the two of them chatted for a few words, the car drove into the square in front of the Workers' Cultural Palace. The spacious plaza is now a bit crowded, and the parking spaces are not very spacious. Looking at that row of cars, Liu Yufan couldn't help but think of what it would be like ten years later.
At that time, the rivers and seas were already several times more prosperous than they are now, but there was a lack of a sense of comfort, and the whole city seemed particularly impatient. Especially the car, all over the street, a red light at the rush hour even to block for more than ten minutes, slower than riding a bicycle, now people are just getting rich, there are not many cars on the road, otherwise only by this one race, if it is not for the brand of the work car, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop here at all.
"Good afternoon, judges, teachers, audience members and friends in front of the TV set. Thank you for your attention to the Jianghai Cup Piano Competition, then this afternoon will be the fourth of the preliminary round of the competition, that is, the competition of the youth group B, a total of 30 players will participate in this afternoon's competition, and the top 10 players in the total score this afternoon will get the right to qualify, enter the finals, compete for the final ranking, let us once again with warm applause, I wish you good results! The host Jiajia stood in the center of the stage, presiding over the atmosphere in an elegant manner, which was appropriate and flexible, which fully reflected her good quality as a host.
The live broadcast of this Jianghai Cup competition was broadcast by Jianghai TV and broadcast on Jianghai 2. Although the audience of the piano competition is relatively small, there are still many piano children, parents and piano teachers who are paying attention to the competition.
Of course, there are also special situations where laymen pay attention to the game, for example, Dazhai Village.
In a two-story villa with European style, in the spacious and bright living room on the first floor, Liu Jianjun, his wife Chu Qing, and daughter Xiao Ran leaned comfortably on the beige leather sofa, comfortably looking at the 60-inch rear projection TV in front of them. On the huge crystal coffee table in front of him, there are two fruit bowls, which are full of various seasonal fruits. Grandpa is not used to sitting on the soft sofa, and at the moment he is leisurely half-lying on a bamboo recliner, and his eyes are also looking at the TV in front of him.
At the beginning of this year, his son invited an engineering team to completely renovate the old house. The courtyards of rural people are wide, so they can build such a magnificent villa. At the beginning, Liu Jianjun was still opposed, according to his idea, as long as he built a better bungalow, there was no need to spend so much money.
But after the house was built, he didn't mention the reluctance between him anymore. The house is so beautifully built. There are also rich people in the village who build houses, but the style is rustic, that is, two bungalows are stacked together, how can this house look beautiful? The combination of gray and white tones, coupled with the European spire shape, makes the villa look full of beauty. And being in it is even more comfortable for people to be physically and mentally comfortable. The white high-grade floor tiles, exquisite solid wood furniture, and a few green plants make the whole room look so elegant and fresh. These are all designed by professional designers invited by Liu Yufan, it can be said that although this is a villa built in the countryside, the settings inside are designed according to the style of high-end villas, and the plumbing and electricity inside are all modern design, not to mention that they are in the countryside, even if they are in the city, they can afford to live in such a particular villa, I am afraid it is rare.
Of course, the money was not spent, and more than 1.2 million yuan was smashed into it, which made this originally rustic and low home become what it is now. In addition to the house, the entire yard has also been carefully tidied, and the side house where the firewood was originally placed was bulldozed and changed into a garage, and the motorcycle parked in it was no longer Liu Jianjun's motorcycle, but replaced with a brand-new Audi A6. Driving such a cow car to work, Liu Jianjun is afraid that it will be the first share of the entire Dazhai Village, no, the entire garrison camp. With such a bullish son, going to work now is just a fulfilling life for him, so as not to be bored.
"Dad, didn't my brother call? What is his number one appearance? Xiao Ran picked up a lychee from the fruit bowl, peeled off the skin and threw it into her mouth, and asked in a muffled voice. Now that she is in the sixth grade, she is becoming more and more beautiful and temperamental. For the piano, it is no longer at the original level, and under the influence of her brother, the little girl is now also a person with a ninth-grade certificate. The milky white Yamaha triangle under the floor-to-ceiling window on the south side of the living room is her "gift" for passing the class. It's just that for her brother, the little girl admires her more and more, and after going through the professional examination, she knows how powerful her brother's current level is. To be honest, don't look at her already over level nine, but she knows in her heart that in front of her brother, her level is still not much different from the little girl who didn't know anything at the beginning, and there are still many things to work on in the future.
"I don't know, just say it's this afternoon, let's see." Liu Jianjun said with a smile, and then touched the soft China on the coffee table, but looking at his wife Chu Qing's eyes, he laughed a few times and put it back in place.
"Second aunt and uncle-in-law, are they all at home, has Xiaofan's game started?" Two people came in from outside the door, and it was Xue Dongzhe who took the lead, followed by Wang Xiaoyong, both of whom were carrying fruits, cooked food and other things in their hands, and put them into the kitchen on one side familiarly, and then found a place in the living room and sat down.
"No, I said it was this afternoon, so I might have to wait a while. Why did you two come here together? Who's watching in the store? Liu Jianjun asked with a smile. These two children have also grown up under his watch, and now they are his son's right-hand man. Yu Fan doesn't come back often, but the two of them come here every once in a while to eat, and the relationship between the grandfathers and sons is very good.
"It's okay, there is Brother Huang Mao watching, the two of us came over to watch the game, hehe, Xiaofan is so good, he should be able to take the first place." Xue Dongzhe said with a smile, then touched the soft China on the coffee table, ordered one and smoked it. This time, Chu Qing didn't say anything, and when Liu Jianjun saw this, he also hurriedly followed the "borrowed light" and smoked one.
"Hehe, that's not for sure, this is a big competition at the municipal level, there are many masters, hey, it's started." Liu Jianjun said, and then everyone's attention was focused on the TV.
