Rebirth in 1993, My Dad is a Returned Youth

Chapter 174 Show off a little bit

"I think Meiling has such a good attitude towards learning, so I want to teach her more."

"So the training may seem a bit strict," Li Kang looked at Jiang Meiling, "Meiling, can you still keep up?"

Jiang Meiling also wants to save face in front of her biological mother.

She has always been her mother's pride, and her grades are among the best in the class compared to other children.

And she herself has always held herself to high standards and high goals.

How could I allow myself to say that I couldn't keep up?

"Mr. Mu's lectures were very good. They opened up a new world for me."

Jiang Meiling said sincerely that Li Kang's level was indeed very high.

It would be better if you could be gentler with her.

Jiang Yaqin is very satisfied with her daughter's perseverance.

Although I feel sorry for my daughter because she has to endure some pain in studying, she can pursue her own life if she can get through it.

Even if Li Jianhua or her grandparents pass away in the future, they will still be able to support her and allow her to live a good life.

If you don't suffer in school now, you will suffer in society in the future.

Jiang Yaqin is quite insightful. Enduring hardship is also a blessing.

It’s just that the suffering Miss Jiang endures is different from that endured by ordinary people.

"Come on, dear, eat something. You all can write for a while and talk about your interests and hobbies."

Li Kang was a little unhappy, "Well, Mrs. Jiang, I want to finish the class quickly, I have something else to do when I go back."

Jiang Yaqin seemed not to hear, "Teacher Mu, Meiling likes English teachers like you. You can communicate more. The age difference is not that big."

After saying that, he left the balcony and closed the glass door.

"Teacher Mu, do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes, I still have a novel that I haven't finished. In the past, I would spend half a day or a whole day doing part-time translation, and then leave some time for myself to write. I haven't finished today's task yet."

Jiang Meiling's eyes lit up, "Teacher Mu also writes novels! What novels are they? Can you tell me about them?"

Li Kang didn't have the nerve to share his novel with his students as it would easily reveal his true identity.

"I'll tell you when I finish writing it."

Standing up and looking at the central garden in the distance, it was a lush and green scene.

It was a bit hot outside, and they were on the balcony, which was covered with curtains and had air conditioning.

Didn't feel the heat at all.

"Teacher Mu, come and take a look at the sketch I drew!"

"Can you draw?"

"When I'm tired from studying, I draw to relieve my depression."

Li Kang felt sad when he saw the plain face painted by Jiang Meiling.

Above is their family portrait. I don’t know whether Li Jianhua, Jiang Yaqin, or a few strangers are included.

It is most likely Li Jianhua’s parents and Jiang Yaqin’s parents.

Jiang Meiling was able to depict such a complete family portrait very completely.

The composition, modeling and lines are all at the level of top students.

Li Kang has some artistic talent, and it can be seen that his paintings are no worse than those of excellent art students.

"There's a piano in the living room. Can you play the piano?"

"A little bit. I'm not very good at talking. I once had a conversation at a New Year's Eve party at school."

"..."

Li Kang became even more jealous.

What kind of life did he live as a child? What kind of life did Jiang Meiling live?

How can we have different fates with the same father?

Seeing that he was interested again, Jiang Meiling pulled him into the living room.

"Teacher Mu, please listen to what I have to say."

"What do you want to hear?"

"Try the simplest Ode to Joy first."

Jiang Meiling was a little unconvinced. It was just such a simple song and not difficult at all.

But I still played it obediently, the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

The slender jade fingers were as gentle as a swallow, tapping on the white jade piano keys.

Notes pop out one by one and match the notes on the score.

Even if there is no music score in front of her, it will not hinder the girl's performance.

Li Kang was so immersed in it that he didn't even notice that Jiang Meiling had finished talking.

"Teacher Mu, I'm done." Looking at him, expecting Li Kang's praise.

"Oh~! Tan played so well that I was attracted to him without even realizing it."

In fact, he was thinking about his miserable childhood.

The better Jiang Meiling's bullets were, the more uncomfortable he felt.

The more unbalanced you feel.

"Can you let me try?"

"Of course you can." Jiang Meiling stood up quickly and made way for Li Kang. Li Kang sat down, and the stool still had the warmth left by the girl.

He also wanted to use this piano, and he had taken piano lessons before.

The Ninth Symphony is actually not that bad.

"I'll play the Ninth Symphony, too, on piano."

"No. Teacher Mu should have seen "Castle in the Sky"."

Li Kang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "You won't let me shoot that, will you?"

The girl nodded happily, "I went to see the movie last year and really liked the theme song of "Castle in the Sky". So I would like to ask the teacher to play it for me."

After saying this, the girl looked cunning yet expectant.

I believe in my heart that since Teacher Mu is so good at English, his talents must be no worse than hers.

In Jiang Meiling's school, students with good academic performance generally have talents.

It's just that there is only one boy who can compare with her.

"But I don't know the music score. If I just play it naked, I might make a lot of mistakes."

"Oh~!" Jiang Meiling trotted to the study next to the piano.

She usually studies in a separate room with a built-in bookcase.

The space of a study room is larger than that of a dormitory.

This is just Jiang Meiling’s study room. Li Jianhua also has another separate study room.

I really admire Li Jianhua's partiality.

Similarly, as for his children, Jiang Meiling is his biological son, while Jiang Meiling neither looks like him nor has his last name.

But he took all the benefits.

Li Kang thought, why not just change the name.

Li Mingkang is not a very nice name.

It implies health, but not even safety.

Li Pingkang is better than the original name.

Li Kang was just saying this out of anger, there is no need to change his name now.

Jiang Meiling brought the music score of "Castle in the Sky". There was also a poster of Castle in the Sky on the cover.

It seems that the girl really liked it and even kept the remaining tickets from the movie.

"Teacher, look, this is the movie ticket I saved from watching a movie last year. This is the poster I received as a gift, as well as the notebook and pen that were included."

The girl kept them all very well. There was even a poster in the study.

Alas, he never played with these things in his childhood.

Every rural child grows up playing in the mud.

Go up the mountain to hunt, and go into the water to catch shrimps and fish.

A few years ago, people could still shoot elephants with a hunting rifle.

Everyone has their own happiness. As a boy, Li Kang prefers the primitive and exciting life.

But he has never touched a shotgun! !

There is no hunter in my family, so not just anyone can go hunting.

Li Kang placed the music score on the shelf and only looked at it once to familiarize himself with the piece.

I've listened to it anyway, and I really like listening to it.

So he began to play slowly.

Jiang Meiling quietly pulled Jiang Yaqin over.

"Baby, why did you pull mom over here? I'm taking a rest."

"Hush." ​​Jiang Meiling gestured to her, "Listen to what the teacher is saying."

!!!

Beautiful music with a hint of sadness came into her ears.

Gradually, the mother and daughter stood beside Li Kang, listening quietly to him playing the piano.

"I didn't expect that Teacher Mu is not only good at English, but also plays the piano so well."

Li Kang once again refreshed Jiang Yaqin's impression of him.

In my heart, I already regarded him as the young master of a big family.

An ordinary family would definitely not be able to raise such a child.

Four minutes later, Li Kang played the theme song of "Castle in the Sky" completely.

Although there were occasional errors in the first pass, it did not affect the overall effect.

The mother and daughter applauded, "You played really well. Teacher Mu, you play the piano so well."

"How many years have you been learning piano?"

"I learned it when I was in school. I also studied with a teacher at the music school in the United States for a while."

At that time, the school had relevant clubs, and teachers would come to communicate from time to time.

It was at that time that Li Kang learned a lot.

"Wow, there are so many masters at Harvard in the United States!"
