XXXVI. Parting at the end
Tonight's moonlight is extraordinarily white and extraordinarily bright.
The silver light is dotted, like a gentle girl, caressing the land of Qianzhong.
The night is blurry.
Xishui Lake, sparkling, the willows on the lakeside, moving with the wind, also seem to be dressed in silver, like a girl waiting to be married.
The moonlight is as pure as jade, and through the sparkling lake, a ray of light is refracted and reflected on the mountainside.
It was a small three-story building with a small courtyard in front of the building, lush and green.
There is a window that emits a little light, blending with the moonlight outside the window, and the night breeze at this time also becomes gentle.
There was a sound of the piano, sonorous and powerful.
It was a young girl, beautiful and immaculate, her fingers dancing on the keys.
"Dang!"
With a soft sound, her hand slowly lowered.
The music stopped abruptly.
She looked back and smiled.
Under the blurry light, she is like a midnight elf, and between a smile, she is very lovely.
"Teacher, how's it going?" Chen Xi opened his mouth and looked at a shadow at the door.
"This song is much more mature than when you played it yesterday!" Xu Qing asked, "I don't know what it's called!" ”
"Turning red ......dust," Chen Xi said, "When the teacher has free time, he can help me change it, there are still many flaws!" ”
"No need!"
Xu Qing waved his hand, "Every work is charming because of flaws, and who can understand works that don't know the fireworks in the world?" I didn't resonate when I heard it! Just like life, there is no perfection, there are shortcomings, only then will people cherish it! ”
"Got it!" Chen Xi nodded.
"I feel that what you played today is not the same as yesterday?" Xu Qing asked, "This kind of tune, pay attention to the harmony of the piano, when playing, be slow, soft, how do you feel, tonight you play, with a lot of force......"
"Originally, I used the key of C, but now I use the key of G to ......," Chen Xi said, "I heard Sister Xiaofang play Alice this morning, and I felt a little touched, so I changed the way I played, and I tried it, it doesn't have to be like this......"
"Your skills are good, this is harmless......"
Xu Qing advised, "Music, it's best to be casual, you have this capital, but you have to remember that no matter what you learn in the future, you must lay a solid foundation, otherwise, it will be miscellaneous and not refined, and it will be harmful and useless!" ”
"I still like to listen to the country music that the teacher brings!" Chen Xi said.
"You are suitable to listen to Scottish folk songs, simple, natural, moving!"
Xu Qing said with a smile, "Don't confuse the Scots with the British, they are different......
On the island of Britain, there are three ethnic groups, the Scottish, the Irish, and the English...... The English people are gentlemanly on the surface, but most of them are actually domineering, so the music of the English is very bold and wild, but the Scots are different, simple and kind, their country folk songs are very peaceful, and they sound very comfortable, like the sounds of nature...... For example......"
"For example, that Ride_on......" Chen Xi chuckled and stroked his hair, "I like it too!" ”
"By the way, how are you learning English?" Xu Qing asked.
"The old ......" Chen Xi's face turned red, "The teacher has been gone for three years, and no one has taken me, which is a bit deserted!" I tried to find some books published in the United States, and I knew all those words, but I still couldn't understand them......"
"Your vocabulary and grammar are very good!" Xu Qing said, "But you remember one thing, what is the core of our language when we learn a language? It's not expression, it's thinking logic! ”
"Thinking logic?" Chen Xi's eyes turned and looked at the teacher, she was very puzzled.
"When I first returned to China, I taught English for a while in Beijing, and I also taught English ......."
Xu Qing recalled, "One day, a student came to me and asked, he said, "Teacher, my speaking is accurate, my grammar is fine, my vocabulary is large, and I can read China Daily very easily, even better than Beijing Evening News......
"So, I gave him a copy of a piece of news that had been reported by the Wall Street Journal, the same in the China Daily, but he could barely understand it, and he was surprised and asked me why I ......."
"Why?" Chen Xi asked.
"Although China Daily is written in English, the Wall Street Journal is the authentic American way of thinking!" Xu Qing smiled, "Now, you know what I mean!" ”
"Teacher, you mean......" Chen Xi thought thoughtfully, isn't her situation the same as this student? Accurate in speaking, good in grammar, and large in vocabulary, but when she reads real American books, she can't read them.
It turns out that logical thinking is the core of spoken language.
"So, if you want to learn English well, you must remember that American English thinking!" Xu Qing said, "As long as you understand the way Americans think, you can speak the same English as Americans!" ”
"Teacher, give me an example!" Chen Xi's eyes lit up and asked.
"For example, if an American friend comes to your house, and he knocks on the door, and you open the door, and the first thing you say when you open the door, what do you say?" Xu Qing asked rhetorically.
"Welcome!" Chen Xi blurted out.
"No!" Xu Qing shook his head, "Americans don't say welcome to their friends, they are very direct and not so polite, you just let him in!" ”
"It's ...... like this," Chen Xi suddenly realized.
The teacher's example is very vivid, and this is the American way of thinking.
"You were young before, and I didn't teach you this because I wanted you to enrich your vocabulary and lay a good foundation!" Xu Qing said, "There are no conditions in Daliangshan, and you can't really communicate with people, but don't be afraid, language and language are to be spoken, which is considered language, don't learn dumb English, you don't care about other people's eyes, if you want to learn well, you have to practice, you have to speak out boldly......"
"Look back, you watch more American movies, don't have Chinese subtitles, and figure out the psychological activities of the characters, and over time, you will master the logic and way of thinking about their speech......"
Xu Qing smiled bitterly, "This way, the effect is slow and not systematic, but the language environment is like this, there is no way, it can only be like this, but you girl, Bing Xue is smart, I believe that you will learn well!" ”
"Thank you, teacher!" Chen Xi was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly brightened.
"I have a lot of tapes at home, you usually listen to it more, not only listen, but also follow along, after a long time, it will be natural, relax, don't take it as a task, you have to talk as usual!"
Xu Qing said, "The teacher is not around, everything, can only rely on yourself, in fact, no matter what you do, as long as you think about it, you will move forward, success or failure, it doesn't matter, you have to be brave to try, don't be afraid of failure!" ”
"Chinese students are the most likely to fail among the students in the world, because you face the most brutal exams, just look at the admission rate announced by the Ministry of Education, from junior high school to high school, 40 percent, 6 or 7 million people have failed, and from high school to university, nearly 40 percent, nearly 2 million people have failed, and the admission rate is still declining...... Failure is everywhere, life is so desperate......"
Xu Qing continued, "At this time, what should we do? Only by summoning up the courage and accepting failure can we meet the future, failure is not terrible, fear of failure is really terrible! Those who choose to give up from the beginning, they don't fail because they failed in the first place! Only when we look for victory in defeat and hope in despair can we see the light of day...... Dreaming, not thinking, but doing! ”
Chen Xi was very quiet and listened all the time.
The teacher's words were simply deafening and enlightened.
She is very smart and clever, but after all, she is too young, her knowledge is shallow, and many things are very unclear, but the teacher pointed out a lot of confused things, and she was pointed out at once.
Some people say that Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often exist.
There is no doubt that Xu Qing is her Bole.
not only opened her eyes in knowledge, but also pointed out the direction for her on the road of life.
The latter, more important.
Whether it is study, work, or life, we must correct our attitude, be brave to accept and face, no matter how good or bad things in this world are, we must be brave and unyielding.
Whether it is the demonic, heroic and domineering man Wu Banglong, or the intellectual and elegant woman Chen Xiaofang, or the erudite and talented teacher in front of her, they all have a profound impact on her, allowing her to further and more deeply understand the world, so as to understand herself.
The only flaw is that the arrogant back is just a glimpse.
She wasn't sure if that he was the one in the mouths of Sister Xiaofang and the teacher, the legendary boy.
However, she was not too stunned.
It was a dream, and it could only be hidden in her heart.
As the teacher said, life is a kind of regret, so it will be moving.
She is content!
If there is really fate, the person in their mouths is the one she dreams of you, and the back that passes by in a hurry, then, one day, they will meet.
Gains and losses follow fate, and there is no increase or decrease in the heart.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi's heart gradually calmed down.
"It's not early, you get ready, just rest, your room has hot water, the girl's family, you can't stay up late!" Xu Qing said, turning away.
"Doot toot!" At this moment, Chen Xi's mobile phone rang.
Xu Qing also paused because of this.
"Grandma?" Turning on the phone, Chen Xi was stunned.
She didn't expect that Grandma Wang called.
Speaking of which, this mobile phone was given by Grandma Wang, and Grandma also said that if she arrived in Ancheng, she would call back. However, once he arrived in Ancheng, there were so many things that happened that Chen Xi actually forgot about it.
Thinking of it, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel ashamed, her grandmother was worried about herself, and she had forgotten her.
Chen Xi pressed the answer button.
"Xi girl......" On the other end of the phone, a voice came from the vicissitudes of life, "Are you okay?" Girl, why haven't you moved for two days, is that you, girl......"
"Grandma, it's me!" Chen Xi's voice choked, she couldn't hear it, her grandmother's words were full of concern, "I'm sorry, grandma, I forgot to call you back, I'm fine, at the teacher's house!" ”
"Hey, as long as you're safe, that's okay!" On the other end of the phone, he sighed, "Is it fun over there?" ”
"It's good, the air is good, the scenery is good, and I know a big sister in Anseong!" Chen Xi said.
"Girl, let me tell you something, don't get excited!"
Grandma Wang died, "Your Grandpa went to Beichuan to see your aunt, your Grandma is home alone, sick, you need to come back immediately!" ”
"What?" Chen Xi was shocked.
"Don't worry, grandma is here! You see if there is a ticket to go back to Sichuan now, if there is, buy a ticket to come back, your grandma has me to take care of it, it's okay......"
"Grandma is sick!" Chen Xi put down the phone and muttered.
"Xiaoxi, what's wrong?" Xu Qing came to his side and asked.
"Teacher, I'm going home, my grandma is sick!" Chen Xi said worriedly, "You can help me see, is there a train ticket back to Chengdu tonight!" ”
"Tonight?" Xu Qing frowned, "Are you going to leave tonight?" ”
"Hmm!" Chen Xi raised his head and looked reluctant, "Grandma is home alone, I'm not at ease!" ”
"At eleven o'clock in the evening, there was a bus, but now it's too late, I don't worry......"
"It's okay, wasn't it night when I came?"
"Okay, I'll turn on the computer, book a ticket for you, and I'll send you there!"
"Just take me to the station!"
Chen Xi shook her head, she understood what the teacher meant, but how could she let the teacher send her all the way to Chengdu?
She can take care of herself.
It's just that after two days of coming, I left again.
She likes it here, but life is like this, parting again and again, reunion again and again.
"Goodbye, Anseong!"
