The time in primary school is very comfortable for Xuanyan, listening to the teacher during class, taking time to finish homework between classes, and reading books after school, and life is also fulfilling. It's a pity that Xuan Yan's most anticipated piano teacher has not been found, there are too few people who can play the piano in this era, although Xuan's mother found a female teacher named Han Xin through previous relationships, and inquired in many ways, I heard that this teacher grew up in country M, and has been practicing piano since he was a child, and his level is close to that of a master pianist, but this Han Xin teacher just got married last month, and he is not very willing to take students, and Xuan's mother is embarrassed to force it, so she can only give up. Xuan Yan was also very depressed when he heard about it, he knew that it was definitely not easy to learn piano in this era, but he really didn't expect it to be so difficult to find a piano teacher! Fortunately, Xuan's mother has helped him find an English teacher, and learning pronunciation, memorizing words, memorizing sentences, and even memorizing articles takes up most of his energy, and he doesn't feel too bored.

With the gradual increase of grandpa's grade, grandpa has slowly retreated to the second line, to this year, grandpa no longer has to go to class, only need to occasionally participate in important meetings, idle grandpa is not not not adapted to the new life, on the contrary, he also enjoys this life, raises flowers every day, teaches Xuanyan traditional culture, plays basketball with the little guy, and will make some delicious pastries when he is free, and enjoys the joy of the next family, Xuanyan also likes grandpa, although grandpa was born in which turbulent era, but it is a real academyAfter listening to the traditional culture of his grandfather a few times, he felt that with his grandfather's cultural literacy, even the university teachers he met in his previous life were inferior, so he consciously asked his grandfather to give him some traditional knowledge that he had not been exposed to in his previous life, and in this way, the grandfather and grandson got along very harmoniously.

On this day, the master was also giving Xuan Yan the story of Confucius's acceptance of 3,000 apprentices, and after telling it, he sighed: "In ancient times, the teacher was also called the master, and in some relatively wealthy places, private schools would be opened, these private schools were like the current primary schools, and some literary Confucians would open academies, these academies were equivalent to the current middle schools, at that time, those who could go to private schools were the children of rich families, and those who could go to academies were either rich or expensive, where was it like now, as long as you were willing to learn, you could go to school, there would be teachers to teach, Xiaoyan, you have to cherish such an opportunity, Study hard! ”

"Well, I will be grandpa," Xuan Yan nodded obediently and said, "I just don't know when I can do it, and if I want to learn piano, there will be a teacher to teach me." ”

"Oh, Xiao Yan wants to learn piano?" Grandpa asked with interest.

"Well, I want to learn English and piano, and my mother has already found an English teacher, but I haven't found a piano teacher." Xuan Yan said with a little emotion.

"Then I'll help you find the teacher, will Xiao Yan study hard?"

Xuan Yan's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "I must study hard." ”

After that day, grandpa never mentioned learning piano again, and just when Xuan Yan felt that grandpa had forgotten, grandpa took him to visit a guest. On the way, I heard from my grandfather that this guest was an old friend of his, a few years younger than him, and he also retired this year. Just when Xuan Yan sighed that the principle of the older generation was really strong, the grandfather and grandson came to the door of a courtyard.

Knock knock... Grandpa knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, an old man with gray hair opened the door, saw grandpa standing at the door, straightened his chest, solemnly saluted, and said, "Old Xuan, come into the house, come into the house." ”

Grandpa smiled, took Grandpa Ye's hand, and walked to the house, Xuan Yan carried the bag, obediently followed behind the two, when Xuan Yan walked into the house and put down the bag, Grandpa and Grandpa Ye were already sitting on the sofa chatting, Xuan Yan sat next to Grandpa obediently, listening to the two old men reminiscing about the past glorious years.

Although Xuan Yan has learned about that history in books and on TV, there are really not many opportunities to listen to the story of the time at such a close distance, even Xuan Yan is willing to miss it, listening to it, Xuan Yan is actually more engaged than the two, until a sound of footsteps interrupts the memories of the two, Xuan Yan found out that someone is coming.

"Old woman, come and see who's coming!"

Grandma Ye walked into the house, saw her grandfather sitting on the sofa, and scolded with a smile: "Old Ye, Xuan Lao hasn't been to the house for a long time, why don't you pour water?"

"Look at me, and forget it when you are happy"

"Don't be busy, look at your politeness, if you don't know, you think we don't know each other very well?" Grandpa smiled and waved his hand and said, "You also know my temperament, so I won't be polite to you, this time I came mainly to ask for something." ”

"Say whatever you want, just talk about something." Grandpa Ye patted his chest and said.

"Lao Ye, don't be in a hurry to agree, it's not you who I'm asking for this time, it's your Han Xin."

"Ahh The young woman who came in with Grandma Ye was suddenly named, and blurted out with a burst of exclamation, "If you have something to order, I will do my best, I can't afford this request." ”

"Hehe, then I'll say it directly, it's all my naughty grandson, he wants to learn the piano, but he can't find a suitable teacher when he asks left and right, I don't think of Lao Ye saying that you have learned piano, see if you can teach this little monkey."

Han Xin smiled: "Look at what you always say, how can you ask for words about this matter, it's just that my level is not high, and I haven't played the piano for a while, so don't be surprised if I can't teach it well." ”

Xuan Yan understood what his grandfather meant by bringing him to visit Ye Lao, and he was suddenly moved in his heart, and hurriedly expressed his determination and said, "Auntie, I will definitely study hard, and I won't embarrass you." ”

Then a few polite words and a few words of greeting, grandpa took Xuan Yan home.

The next day was the weekend, early in the morning, grandpa took Xuanyan, with a specially prepared gift, to Ye's hometown, after arriving at Ye's hometown, grandpa put down the gift, and everyone said a few words to go home first, Xuanyan stayed to learn the piano. Learning the piano is very hard, in the very beginning of the period of time to contact the strength and speed of the fingers, this is all hard work, not to know the principle can be done, when the basic skills are almost practiced, you have to learn fingering, this is a painful process, Xuan Yan's talent in this area is not strong, but Xuan Yan's mentality is good, since you can't practice the piano as a professional, then it is a hobby, just think, if you play a complete song in front of your classmates in the future, it is enough for Xuan Yan's little vanity.

So, in the five years of primary school, Xuan Yan spent school, listening to his grandfather's stories, learning English and learning piano, fortunately, there was basketball, otherwise in the eyes of other children, his childhood would be miserable.
