1987 My Era

Chapter 249, perfect performance, catching a son-in-law under the list (please subscribe!)
After dinner, the rest of the people ate melon seeds and chatted on the first floor.

Li Heng took Zhou Shihe and Teacher Yu into the study.

It was the first time for both girls to come to his study, and they looked around with some curiosity.

Yu Shuheng asked: "Did you buy all these books in Shanghai?"

Li Heng nodded and shook his head, "Most of them were bought in Shanghai by my editor Zou Ping, and a small part was sent from Shao City."

Zhou Shihe didn't understand what the two were talking about. His aimless eyes slowly swept over the books, including the "Harvest" magazine and the single volume of "To Live".

She felt that Li Heng should be a fan of the writer December, just like herself.

In fact, at Fudan University, due to the promotion of the old president, a top-down culture has been formed. Many teachers not only read "To Live" and "Cultural Journey" themselves, but also strongly recommended them, so that most students have read these two books.

The same is true in her dormitory 213 where girls live. Almost everyone in the dormitory with slightly better conditions has a copy of the book "To Live".

However, Zhou Shihe bought "Harvest" magazine and read "Cultural Journey" every day not because of his teacher's recommendation, but because of the influence of his family.

Because Zhou Shihe was there, Yu Shuheng smiled and nodded without asking any further questions.

At this time, Mai Sui came in with tea, and Li Heng asked her, "Why is it suddenly quiet downstairs?"

Mai Sui replied, "Manning and Ye Ning went out on their bicycles. They said they were going to the Pentagon to buy some snacks."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Heng stopped her, "It's boring to stay outside alone, come with us."

Mai Sui smiled tenderly, said yes, and then sat in the corner of the sofa very consciously so as not to disturb the work of the three people.

Yu Shuheng glanced at Mai Sui for a few more seconds, wondering what he was thinking.
Zhou Shihe looked at his nose with his eyes and at his heart with his nose, as if he saw nothing.

Li Heng walked to the desk, opened the middle drawer, took out the music score he wrote last night, and handed it to Zhou Shihe and Teacher Yu: "I have been trying to figure out how to arrange the music. You can take a look."

Yu Shuheng took the music score first, and carefully read it through twice. At the end, she raised her head and said, "I feel the piano part is good, but there are still some flaws, which need to be further improved. And the violin part, you didn't write it on point."

Li Heng sincerely admired: "The teacher has a sharp eye and can analyze my problem at a glance."

Yu Shuheng took a sip of tea and said, "You have to believe in the strength of a genuine member of the Music Association."

Li Heng was a little surprised: "Teacher is a member of the Music Association?"

Yu Shuheng smiled and nodded.

Li Heng turned to Zhou Shihe and asked politely, "What about you? You're not the same, are you?"

Zhou Shihe smiled and shook her head.

Li Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If both women were members of the Music Association, he would be so embarrassed.

But later I thought about this girl's piano level and whether she joined the Music Association or not, it actually doesn't make much difference.

The music score fell into Zhou Shihe's hands. She read it calmly and dignifiedly, thought about it, and then read it again.

Li Heng asked: "What do you think of the piano arrangement?"

Zhou Shihe didn't respond. He silently followed the tune and played the piano in his mind. After a long time, he stretched out his fingers and tapped seven or eight times in a row. "Here, here, and here. I think we can make some slight changes to verify the effect."

Li Heng pushed the pen in front of her and said, "It's okay, just make the changes on it."

Zhou Shihe looked at Li Heng, then at Yu Shuheng, and without hesitation, he took the pen and focused on marking his different opinions on the piece of music.

She seemed very patient. Every time she made a change, she would silently hum the song in her own way from the beginning before continuing to make changes.

The minute hand moved quietly, and this change was 8 minutes. The study was silent, and all attention was focused on the pen tip.

8 minutes passed in a flash. After marking the last part, Zhou Shihe stopped writing and placed the music score in front of the two people.

Yu Shuheng picked it up immediately, filtered it silently, and then tried it with the violin. Finally, she said: "The change is very good. It is more vivid and richer in layers than before."

When Yu Shuheng said this, her eyes were full of admiration, without any perfunctory attitude.

Li Heng is no music idiot either. He gave a thumbs up and said, "It's really good. It's closer to what I imagined."

The look in his mind, of course, refers to the arrangement of the original time and space.

In the following time, the three of them discussed and verified with each other, gave full play to their subjective initiative, revised and improved over and over again.

As a result, the later arrangement was almost half changed from the original one. Li Heng was not angry about this, but was very happy instead.

At the same time, he had to admit that these two women were professionals in playing music. Unlike himself, who was a half-baked person, they were the real talents.

An hour later, Yu Shuheng, who had already finished two cups of tea, suddenly asked Zhou Shihe: "Where is your piano?"

Zhou Shihe said, "Over at the Red Mansion."

Li Heng asked: "Do you rent a house there?"

Zhou Shihe hummed: "Yeah, but the conditions are not as good as here. I don't live here much, so I only go there to practice when I have time."

Yu Shuheng asked: "Did you rent it yourself when school started?"

Facing the looks of the three people, Zhou Shihe nodded again. It was indeed she who rented the house by herself and did not ask her family for help.

Li Heng suddenly said, "You can try the small building next door, No. 27. It has been empty for more than two months. It's empty anyway."

Zhou Shihe said gently, "I've asked my family to help contact them. I wonder what the result will be? I think there should be a response soon."

Yu Shuheng played the entire score on the violin, and then said to the two, "Bring your instruments, let's go to the Red Mansion and let Shihe play the piano for real."

This statement was agreed by Li Heng and Zhou Shihe. After all, knowledge gained from books is shallow, and any good thing must be tested through practice.

Li Heng stood up and said to Mai Sui, "Let's go together."

"Yeah." Although Mai Sui had been listening, she didn't feel bored. She was very happy to be their first audience.

When I went down to the first floor, Ye Ning and Sun Manning had not come back yet. They must have met something interesting outside or went shopping.

The Red Building is in Yanyuan, located on the left side of the school gate, next to Handan Road. When the four of them rushed over, the sky began to gradually darken. Based on past experience, it was estimated that it would be completely dark outside in less than an hour.

The rental house is on the first floor, but it is surrounded by professors and teachers' families, so the environment is pretty good, and the paths and corridors are very clean.

Steinway D274.

As soon as he stepped into the rented house, he recognized the model of the grand piano placed in the room at a glance.

Li Heng was a little confused. He had thought that this girl's piano playing would be very good, but he didn't expect it to be so amazing. This is the crown king in the piano world and is almost the first choice piano for all large-scale music concerts.

Can I buy one with the 13 yuan in my bank card?
He had no way of knowing the price these days, but he estimated it to be quite high.

Yu Shuheng also recognized it, but she acted calmly and didn't reach out and touch it like someone else did.

Li Heng joked, "You put such a good piano here, aren't you afraid of losing it?"

Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly.

She didn't know how to answer because she had never worried about this issue.

After a brief chat, I learned that this piano was her 18th birthday gift.

At Teacher Yu's signal, everyone stopped chatting. Zhou Shihe came to the piano, sat quietly for a while, and then began to play according to the music score.

At this time, Li Heng stood aside and listened, carefully sensing whether there were any differences from the original work. If so, he would write it down and discuss improvements later.

Zhou Shihe's piano skills are impeccable. After a complete performance, the three of them gained a lot and found some flaws to a greater or lesser extent.

The next step was to verify and perfect the music. Every time the three of them played a section with their instruments, they would stop to discuss and then continue playing. After repeating each section about 10 times, they basically met his requirements. Li Heng felt that he was already a perfectionist, but compared with Teacher Yu and Zhou Shihe, he was just a little bit of a perfectionist.

When the arrangement reached a certain level, most of the time it was the two women arguing and compromising. Li Heng slowly transformed into a character like an ear of wheat and could no longer get involved.

But he was not discouraged, but happy about it. People must always have a clear understanding of themselves, so that they will not be tired and can be free and easy.

As time went by, the progress finally reached the last small section and it was about to be finished, but the two women disagreed again.

Li Heng took the tea brought by Mai Sui, went outside to get some fresh air, took a sip slowly and said, "Fortunately, there was no fight."

Mai Sui smiled tenderly and teased: "Everyone is helping you, how can you say that."

Li Heng smacked his lips and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It was mainly an accident. Shihe looks weak and frail on the outside, and she looks like she'll fall down if the wind blows, but I didn't expect she's so opinionated on the inside."

Mai Sui said, "Do you think someone who can get into Fudan University would be indecisive?"

Li Heng took another sip of tea: "That makes sense. Maybe you are too gentle and considerate, which makes me have illusions about all the girls around me."

Mai Sui opened her eyelids slightly, glanced at his profile, and didn't say anything.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Have you been to the library?"

"I often go there with Shihe. Why are you asking this?" Mai Sui asked curiously.

Li Heng said: "Because I have been at Fudan University for such a long time, but I have never been to the library."

Wheat Ear said, "When you finish writing this book, I will invite you to join me."

"Okay." he responded.

"When will you go to Beijing to visit your uncle and aunt?" she asked.

Li Heng replied: "I have already made an appointment with Zijin to go there around New Year's Day."

Hearing this, Mai Sui nodded slightly, said nothing, and stayed outside the door with him to enjoy the breeze.

Soon, the discussions in the room stopped, and Zhou Shihe performed the entire song for the last time.

After playing, she asked, "How was it this time?"

Yu Shuheng said, “Okay.”

Li Heng walked in happily, "Yes, I can't find any problems."

Zhou Shihe listened in silence for a while, lowered his head and memorized the music score in his mind. After a while, he said, "Let's work together once."

Yu Shuheng is a man of action and has already picked up the violin.

Li Heng was no less eager, standing beside the piano, waiting for the prelude to start.

After a while, beautiful notes floated out from the black and white keys, mixed in with the melodious sound of the violin. As the accompaniment reached a certain level, Li Heng took a breath and officially began his appearance.

As soon as the ocarina sounded, the piano and violin became the background. Zhou Shihe looked up at him, but his hands did not stop.

Yu Shuheng's attention was also focused on him. For the first time, he felt that this little boy under the dim light was particularly attractive.

Mai Sui leaned quietly against the door, taking in the three people playing together. Unconsciously, she felt a little envious. Unfortunately, her understanding of music was still at the level of being able to sing a few lines, and she was not at the same level as them.

But later on, Mai Sui put away this trace of envy. From childhood to adulthood, she often heard her mother nagging: Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry. Just be yourself.

Only by being yourself can you be the most special one.

After more than 4 minutes, the pleasant sound came to an abrupt end, and the three of them looked at each other with a look of satisfaction in their eyes.

Li Heng said: "There is still a month and a half before the first rehearsal. If possible, let's coordinate our schedule so that we can practice together."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Teacher Yu.

Similarly, Zhou Shihe also looked at Yu Shuheng.

Because they are both students, they can do it at any time except when they are in class.

Yu Shuheng weighed the pros and cons and made a suggestion: "From now on, we have to practice every Friday afternoon and evening, and also Sunday afternoon. These are fixed times. On other days, everyone can make use of their free time as appropriate."

The reason why Teacher Yu didn't mention Saturday was that he knew that someone had to take time to date and write, and couldn't schedule his time too full.

For a moment, she wanted to fill up her time, but it ended in failure.

Li Heng turned to Zhou Shihe: "What do you think?"

Zhou Shihe answered briskly: "No problem for me."

"That's fine. Let's set the date on Friday and Sunday, and use the rest of the time flexibly." Li Heng finally made the decision.

The two women agreed.

Li Heng raised his right wrist and looked at it. "It's past 8 o'clock. Let's stop here tonight, otherwise it will disturb the neighbors' rest."

In fact, this is nonsense. At this moment, many professors and their families upstairs have opened their windows and are looking down, thinking that a musical performer has come to the Red Mansion and is playing such a beautiful music.

Before leaving, Li Heng glanced at Zhou Shihe, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Looking at each other, Zhou Shihe seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and said gently, "If it's possible, I will move to Building 27."

"Hey, welcome, welcome. That will make things more convenient for us." Li Heng said with a smile.

After leaving Yanyuan, everyone went their separate ways.

Zhou Shihe and Mai Sui went straight back to the dormitory.

Li Heng followed Teacher Yu to Lushan Village.

But when he was almost at the end of the alley, Li Heng was stunned and actually saw Shen Xin. At this time, this aunt was standing in the middle of the alley, looking up at her own building No. 26.

Li Heng lowered his voice and asked, "Auntie, do you think you are in my room again?"

Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly and thought so too.

As the footsteps of the two people approached, Shen Xin finally reacted and turned to look at them.

When she saw her daughter and Li Heng walking together, she showed a look of as expected, and then a smile broke out on her expressionless face, and she said to Li Heng: "Xiao Li, have you had supper? Auntie brought some supper over, come in and eat together."

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng frowned, but soon calmed down. In fact, because the light was too dim, neither her mother nor Li Heng noticed it.

Li Heng was secretly surprised. What the hell is this?

Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic about me?
For some reason, looking at his aunt who was so close to him, a word emerged in his mind: catching a son-in-law from the list.

No way?
I'm so young.

I am still a student.

I come from the countryside.

Not appropriate!

I’m afraid that you guys will have to wait for a long time, so I’ll update first and make changes later.

(One more thing to say, my other career lines are going to go on winter vacation. After all, the timeline of this book is very long, so it needs to be arranged reasonably. I will give a unified answer here and will not reply again in the future.)
