Chapter 123: Flickering
"Need an extra class?" That night, when Lin Xiaoxiao heard Lin Xiaoxiao say that Gu Chengyun was going to give him extra classes, he was stunned for a moment, this is also true, yesterday the two of them were still discussing to suspend her from class, why are they adding classes now?
"Yes, there is too little time to paint now, and the master said that he was afraid that I would not advance but retreat, and that the Calligraphy and Painting Association would have some exchange activities with foreign countries in the past few years, and I would also need to participate in it then, so the two masters would give me additional lessons." Lin Xiaoxiao lifted the chopsticks and added a chopstick dish, as if he said it inadvertently.
"Exchange activities with foreign countries?! Can you participate in the activities of the Calligraphy and Painting Association?! Dad Lin's eyes widened, his face full of surprise.
"I'm a member, so of course I'm going to participate." Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him lightly, and then pulled the food into his mouth.
"Member?! You...... When did you join? How did I not know?! "Dad Lin and Mom Lin were shocked, they hadn't heard of this kind of famous thing?!
"Five-year-old or six-year-old? I entered it when I went to Beijing. Lin Xiaoxiao has never told Lin's father and mother about this, first, she is afraid that Lin's father and Lin's mother will go out to show off, and second, she feels that it is unnecessary. After all, this is just a title, and she, like Gu Chengyun, does not give the Calligraphy and Painting Association a work every certain time, but only puts on a name and does not receive a salary.
But today, in order to facilitate her classes in the future, she still said it in advance, so as not to make it inconvenient to take piano lessons.
This afternoon, Lin Xiaoxiao has already discussed with Gu Lao, she will go to piano lessons when she has piano lessons in the future, and she will go to Gu's hometown when she doesn't. By the way, she also called Zhang Guangqi and expressed her willingness to participate in the official activities of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.
Zhang Guangqi naturally agreed, the most optimistic person he had accepted so many students was Lin Xiaoxiao, as long as she was not as rigid as Gu Chengyun, her future achievements would definitely be no worse than others!
Lin Xiaoxiao This is also a helpless way, if she has been living as an ordinary girl, she will inevitably lose a lot of freedom, Lin's father and Lin mother are relatively old-fashioned, it is impossible for Lin Xiaoxiao to do whatever she wants, if you want to make yourself independent as soon as possible and have more personal space, then you have to choose an identity that is okay in the past.
The best identity is naturally none other than Lin Xiaoxiao, the earliest learner, who has already made certain achievements in the industry, has the largest fluctuation in income, and is not very well known by ordinary people!
Isn't it just to teach some works every month? We've already written so many paintings, what about picking up the difference and copying it?
Lin's father and Lin's mother were shocked, and they couldn't stop smiling on their faces.
"Oops! Thank you so much, the masters! Why don't you treat them to dinner......"
Hearing what Lin's father and mother said this, Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, don't you know that my master's temper is bad?" There is no need for these polite things. ”
Lin Dad Lin and Lin Mom remembered Gu Chengyun's temper and didn't mention the matter of eating, Lin Xiaoxiao has studied for so long, although she doesn't charge tuition, and she doesn't charge money for paper and pen for painting, but it's always like this.
Lin's father and Lin's mother also secretly discussed, if they are nervous about studying in the future, in order not to delay Lin Xiaoxiao's study, don't learn that painting. I didn't expect my daughter to be really angry!
Wait a minute......
Mother Lin suddenly came back to her senses and asked, "Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?" ”
Lin Xiao looked up at the sky with an unhappy smile: "What is the big deal of 'such a big thing'?" I don't pay for my works, I don't have income, and I have to pay membership fees every month, so I didn't say anything for fear that you would be angry. ”
"Membership dues? You still have to pay?! Where did you get your money?! Father Lin and Mother Lin were anxious when they heard this, and hurriedly asked.
Lin Xiaoxiao covered her mouth with an expression of saying the wrong thing, and it took a long time to explain that because the membership fee was not high, the master helped her pay it at first, and then someone wanted to buy her paintings, and she became rich after selling them a few times.
Now in order to participate in more activities and increase her knowledge, she officially participated in the event, so the master has to give her extra lessons.
After listening to Lin Xiaoxiao's explanation, Lin's father and Lin's mother breathed a sigh of relief, but they were worried about the money that her two masters had advanced for her, and they were entangled in expressing their feelings.
In the end, Lin Xiaoxiao reluctantly agreed.
Asking the master to help her explain that she was going to ask for leave in the future was the result of Lin Xiaoxiao's previous discussion with Gu Chengyun, otherwise, when she occasionally took a small leave, had a desertion, or had some personal matters, if Lin's father and mother found out that they had delayed class, they would have to dismantle themselves.
But if they think that they will develop in calligraphy and painting, everything else can make way for this "business......
So, a few days later, Dad Lin and Mom Lin invited Gu Chengyun and Zhang Guangqi to dinner, although Gu Chengyun promised to help Lin Xiaoxiao fool Lin Dad and Lin Mom, but after all, he was not so thick-skinned, and he was not too slippery to lie. On the other hand, Zhang Guangqi, since the first meeting, opened his big mouth and kept talking, calling Lin's father and Lin mother a dizzy and unable to find the north, and nodded busily in response, as if what Zhang Guangqi said was the truth of the world, Lin Xiaoxiao was like a future star who worked hard for the country and the people and for world peace......
Lin Xiaoxiao hung her head, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Gu Chengyun couldn't pull down that old face to cooperate with Zhang Guangqi's flickering skills, so he had to eat hard.
"Xiaoxiao, are you sure that learning piano will not delay your learning?" Although Gu Chengyun was a little worried that Lin Xiaoxiao would be distracted from learning the piano, which would delay her progress in calligraphy and painting, as well as her academic performance, he had already seen Lin Xiaoxiao's distraction, and he also believed in her own choice, so he decided to help her.
After all, a person's life time is limited, even if the hobbies are very extensive, it is impossible to have all of them, but if there are really conditions, in order not to regret it in the future, it is also necessary to be exposed to more interesting content from an early age.
"It's okay." Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, adding a piano lesson in elementary school has no impact on her, after all, the curriculum in elementary school is simple, even if you don't hear what you hear in school, you can review it by yourself when you go home.
The reason why she wants to learn these things now is because it was relatively easy in elementary school, and with the time retarder, she can ensure that she allocates this time in a balanced way, and when she goes to high school and college in the future, the time will not be enough, as long as she can lay the foundation now, she can maintain it as long as she plays for half an hour every day.
Since Lin Xiaoxiao is sure, Gu Chengyun will no longer force it, this girl is a ruthless character who dares to take hundreds of thousands of dollars to speculate in stocks, she made a decision...... Others, hehe, it's absolutely impossible to shake it.
After inviting Gu Chengyun and Zhang Guangqi to eat, Lin Xiaoxiao's late return is even if she has reached an agreement with Lin's father and Lin's mother, it is estimated that the time to go home every night should be after nine o'clock and before ten o'clock.
It was also Lin Xiaoxiao's private request, and Gu Chengyun was extremely reluctant to agree to Lin Xiaoxiao's other request - whether she went to piano lessons or went home directly from Gu Chengyun's house, she didn't pick her up.
It's such a late road...... Let a little girl go by herself, I don't feel at ease when I think about it......
A few days later, Lin Xiaoxiao received a notice at the school that the class time for piano lessons had been scheduled, and there were classes every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and three days in the evening, with classes at seven o'clock and classes at nine o'clock, and students who wanted to sign up had to pay tuition in advance.
The piano lesson can be described as an aristocratic class, and the tuition fee is much higher than other subjects, but Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't know if this one is good or bad, because it is not professional, it is cheap.
According to the situation of the previous classes, it seems that after studying for a while, the class will be divided again, and most of the students will transfer to the electronic organ.
On the one hand, the cost of learning piano is much more expensive than that of electronic pianos, and if you want your child to really learn the piano well, it is not enough to practice during school hours just by a few lessons a week, so it is best to let your child often go to a place where there is a piano to practice every day, or buy one at home is the best choice.
For the average home, compared with the piano and the electronic organ, which one is more practical to buy? The answer is self-evident, the cheapest piano is much more expensive than the mid-to-high-end electronic organ, and besides, in the current era of housing area is generally tight, who will buy such a big thing that cannot be eaten and occupies space at home?
On the other hand, coupled with the fact that the less professional tutors flickered for a while, saying that the piano lessons that they were not good at were more difficult and that the exams were not as easy as the electronic piano, parents would be dizzy to follow their "professional" advice, so that the children who had little judgment would transfer to other schools.
Holding his passbook that had just been covered for two or three months, Lin Xiaoxiao sighed - Mu thought that it would be time to use it so soon......
Fortunately, I didn't have the hot-headed money to save all the money for a fixed term at that time, otherwise I would have to go around borrowing money for classes now......
At the beginning, the students did not really get into the piano, and the content of the lessons was all basic music theory, so the tuition was not too expensive.
Lin Xiaoxiao calculated, his savings were just enough to be used to withdraw money in July, and then his famine would be able to catch up, which was really a blessing in misfortune.
Since Lin Xiaoxiao lied to her family that she would go to Gu Chengyun's house to add classes, Lin Xiaoxiao either went to Gu Chengyun's house for dinner every night, or went out after eating at Lin's house, in short, the night time was used freely by herself.
During this period, I either went directly to Gu's house, or went to the library or other places by myself, and occasionally I didn't want to eat at home, so I went to the food street near Dongdajie to eat snacks.
At this time, even the mutton skewers are bigger and more fragrant than those in later generations, and when Lin Xiaoxiao is greedy, he will buy a few skewers and eat them on the edge of the stall.
