Heavy clouds, howling winds, and bloated pedestrians in the streets all announce the arrival of winter in the north. There had been a burst of snow earlier, but the thin snowflakes didn't last long before they melted, and the ground was wet, adding a bit of dampness and coldness.

Jiang Ling arrived at the store, and before he took off his cotton clothes, he saw Fang Xinyuan and Xiaoxin walking downstairs.

Looking at the clothes of the mother and son, Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, this is going out again?" ”

Fang Xinyuan smiled: "Yes, there are a few college classmates who want to get together." ”

"Going to start the party early in the morning?" Jiang Ling grinned and said, "You are the Elderly Bureau." ”

"What kind of old age bureau, I'll go to my good friend's place to sit down first, and then we will go out to eat together at noon. People have also asked me out several times, and it's rare that she has time today. Fang Xinyuan said, "Why don't you go with me too?" My friend is now a music teacher at the university and plays the piano very well. ”

Jiang Ling laughed dryly and said, "It's okay if you take your son there, what's the matter if you take me there." Okay, you two go ahead, I'll look at this store myself. ”

"Good work, breakfast upstairs." Fang Xinyuan changed into high heels and said at the same time: "Let's go first, there are not many guests now, let's make some food for yourself at noon, you can take whatever is in the refrigerator, don't order takeout." ”

"Okay, I got it." Jiang Ling hung up his clothes and patted Xiaoxin on the shoulder with a smile.

Xiao Xin raised his head and said, "Goodbye, Uncle Jiang." ”

Jiang Ling squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Didn't I tell you to call my brother." ”

Fang Xinyuan took Xiaoxin's hand, glanced at Jiang Ling and said, "I still want to be a brother when I run to three, Xiaoxin, let's go." ”

The mother and son left the house, and Jiang Ling muttered: "It's not just that I'm about to run three, I'm almost in the ground." ”

Jiang Ling first went upstairs to eat breakfast, then simply cleaned the room, boiled a pot of hot water and soaked some honeysuckle in a thermos cup.

There are not many customers in winter, and the business of the piano shop is not a low-profit job at all, Fang Xinyuan's store is all high-end pianos, and the price is very high, it is an exaggeration to say that it is an exaggeration to sell it once and eat it for a month, but it is no problem to buy it for a week.

Generally speaking, this kind of business is tied to teaching, and when Fang Xinyuan and her ex-husband have not broken up, it is indeed in the form of music classrooms to teach others to play the piano as the main source of income. After the divorce, Fang Xinyuan was depressed, so she turned down her teaching business and only sold the piano.

"Will I be able to open my doors in the future?" Jiang Ling sat in front of Chao Dieqin, stroked the qin gently, and then said to himself with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, now my level is limited, and I always feel a little awkward to talk about an old man teaching the piano." Maybe Zhou Yu's handsome image is okay. Alas, it would be nice to be able to bring Zhou Yu out. ”

After muttering about this unrealistic fantasy, Jiang Ling stroked the piano gently, first played it to warm up, and then played it again, this new tune that has not been in hand for a long time is still rusty, and it needs to be contacted more. Although Fang Xinyuan is not here now, and there is a lack of guidance from a teacher, in the past few months, Fang Xinyuan has also handed over almost everything that can be taught to Jiang Ling, and he can also detect any problems.

Until it was close to noon, only a few college students came in to hang out, and there was no intention of buying. Jiang Ling leaned on the sofa and played with his mobile phone for a while, and then went to practice the piano again.

At this moment, the door opened, and a man who looked to be close to sixty years old but had a straight posture entered.

Jiang Ling glanced up, and saw that the man was dressed simply, and he didn't look like a high-spending crowd, and he probably came in to hang out, so he didn't stop stroking the qin, but just said politely: "Old man, take a look casually, the store is full of good pianos." Why don't you sit back and drink some hot water to warm up? ”

That's polite, but Jiang Ling didn't mean to get up and pour water at all.

The man put his hands behind his back, casually glanced at the piano in the shop, and then set his eyes on Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling concentrated on playing the piano, but he didn't pay attention to it, and after a while, the man stood beside Jiang Ling, squinting at Jiang Ling playing the piano.

"Good playing." The man said with a smile.

"After all, I'm in this business." Jiang Ling, a half-witted man who has studied the piano for less than half a year, is very thick-skinned, and said with a shy face: "You must have the ability to eat." ”

"Yo." The man raised his eyebrows, and then said, "How long has the young man been learning the piano?" ”

"Less than ten years." Jiang Ling opened his mouth and came.

"In less than ten years... That's right. The man smiled strangely, shook his head, and couldn't help but say, "Is it a bit too much?" ”

"Uncle is knowledgeable, I'm kidding you, actually..."Jiang Ling's eyes rolled and said, "It's only about five years." ”

The uncle pursed his mouth and said, "Well, this nonsense is a good skill." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Ling stopped playing the piano, stood up and said with a hippie smile: "I can't fool you, in fact, it's only three years..."

"Come on, you." The uncle waved his hand impatiently.

Jiang Ling scratched his head and said, "Uncle, are you here to watch the piano?" ”

"Don't look at the piano, I'll come to see you." The uncle put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Ling and said: "I am quite diligent in practicing the piano, and I look good, but this mouth is not honest." ”

"Look at me?" Jiang Ling was confused, thinking that the uncle had a granddaughter to marry? It doesn't look like it, Jiang Ling looks at this uncle's tough body, and his calm and relaxed appearance is not inferior to Jiang Ji's second elder, could it be that he was sent by the company to guide him? After realizing the ability of Jiang Ji's second elder, Jiang Ling dared to be careless, seeing that the competition had reached the top 100 showdown, the people sent by the company this time must be even more living immortals. Jiang Ling hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Uncle, you sit down first, if there is anything you say slowly, I will pour you a glass of water." ”

"Excuse me." The old man casually reached out and patted Jiang Ling's shoulder, and said softly, "It doesn't look like he's terminally ill." ”

"Yo, you know that." Jiang Ling felt the strength of this slap, coupled with the old man's words, he confirmed his guess more and more, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, what advice do you have?" ”

The uncle said flatly: "I don't have any advice, it's like looking at your current state, it doesn't seem to be any pressure, what's the matter, I don't care about the outcome of the game?" ”

Jiang Ling didn't understand the identity of this uncle, and he didn't dare to refuse, so he said cautiously: "It's not that there is no pressure, but the more you get to this time, the more you calm down." That, you're here this time..."

"It's a good thing to have a calm mind, but if you don't have a decisive momentum, how can you fight with those conspirators?" The uncle didn't listen to what Jiang Ling said, and said solemnly: "If you want to cure your illness, finally put away your attitude in the game world, and show some ruthlessness, if others lose, they will lose, and if you lose, you may have nothing, do you still need others to remind you of this?" ”

"Yes, yes..."Jiang Ling hurriedly responded, but he was muttering in his heart what is this called, how can it be like the teaching director training students, and like the old man training his grandson?

"I remember that Shi Yi's girl has a lot of means, but she can't cure your idle nature?" The uncle muttered thoughtfully: "Could it be that Shi Yi was reluctant to do it when he saw that you were pitiful?" ”

"She almost skinned me." Jiang Ling smiled bitterly.

The uncle asked, "Are you confident that you will win the championship?" ”

"There are still some." Jiang Ling thought for a while and said: "But after all, there are a lot of random things in this game, and there is a bit of luck, let's take a step at a time." ”

"That's a bit of a point." The uncle glanced at it dissatisfied, looking angry.

Jiang Ling couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what are you doing?" ”

"I'm just an old man who follows blindly." The uncle patted Jiang Ling's shoulder again, and then he was about to leave, and then said: "I don't think you have a champion, but I don't know if you have that champion." ”

After speaking, the uncle walked away, leaving Jiang Ling alone and muttering.

After a moment's effort, the door opened again, and Shi Yi walked in.

"Did you look at an old man just now?" Jiang Ling hurriedly asked, "The gods are chattering, and I don't know where it came from." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Shi Yi glared at him.

Jiang Ling saw that Shi Yi's expression was a little weird, and he seemed to be a little excited and a little confused, so he couldn't help but ask carefully, "Is it a big guy?" ”

"Leadership."

"You're leading?"

"Don't ask so much, tell me what he asked you?" Shi Yi asked hurriedly.

Seeing that Shi Yi was so serious, Jiang Ling repeated the previous conversation between the two of them one by one, and then said: "That's all, I don't feel like I have anything useful, this uncle... What does this leadership mean? ”

"I didn't expect him to come and see you in person." Shi Yi sat on the sofa, pondering what the uncle and Jiang Ling said in her mind, and muttered: "I was still in the capital for a meeting yesterday, and I actually came here today, even I didn't know." ”

Looking at Shi Yi's appearance, Jiang Ling knew that the identity of this old man was probably more prominent than he imagined, so he asked Shi Yi's side: "Come from the capital to take a special look at me?" There's no need for that, is it? Maybe it's a drop-by? ”

"I don't think it's necessary." Shi Yi looked at Jiang Ling and said seriously: "But this is the situation at present, do you know what this means?" ”

Jiang Ling said uncertainly: "It means that the uncle is not at ease with me?" ”

"It shows that you are valued enough!" Shi Yi glared at Jiang Ling and said, "Now there are thirty-six Chinese players in the top hundred, your current results are not outstanding, there are several people in front of you, Zhang... Uncle Zhang was able to come and see you in person, which was really unexpected to me. ”

After saying this, a trace of joy appeared on Shi Yi's face, but after a few seconds, his smile retracted again, and he said seriously: "Uncle Zhang said that you don't have a champion appearance?" Too idle? ”

"What are you idle, I'm practicing."

"It's not a matter of action, it's a matter of mentality." Shi Yi nodded to himself and said, "Uncle Zhang thinks it's me who asked you, so it looks like I have to change my strategy." ”

Jiang Ling was upset: "What are you going to do?" ”

Shi Yi's eyes widened and said, "Pick your skin!" Makes you nervous! ”
