Yuan Suyin walked into the classroom with her laptop in her arms, clapped her hands and said, "Last week, many students said they wanted to listen to Ye Cheng's songs, so today we will have a music appreciation class. Which song do you want to listen to the most?"
"The Fragrance of Rice."
"Blue and White Porcelain."
"The East Wind Break."
“…”
The students gave various answers, Yuan Suyin smiled and said, "Then let's play it in order, let's listen to "Dao Xiang" first."
The high school academic performance is very tight, and courses such as music, sports, and microcomputer are a rare rest time for students. In the past, when Yuan Suyin taught music theory knowledge, many students wrote homework in other classes below. Today, no one was away from the scene when listening to music, and everyone focused on looking at the projection ahead.
After playing a MV song, Yuan Suyin said: "This song "Dao Xiang" has both hip-hop and folk songs. Ye Cheng positioned "Dao Xiang" as hip-hop folk songs. This combination is a very interesting attempt. Let's talk about hip-hop first. Its English name is hip-hop, which is a black culture originated from the street. Hip-hop in a broad sense includes street dance, graffiti, beat-wave, rap, dj turntable skills, etc...."
While introducing hip-hop and folk songs, Yuan Suyin also played several well-known hip-hop and folk songs at home and abroad to facilitate students' understanding. Next, we focus on analyzing the song "Dao Xiang". Unfortunately, she said it too professionally and few students could understand it.
Suddenly a student raised his hand and said, "Teacher Yuan, you should talk to Senior Brother Ye Zi, we want to hear the story."
"Yes, I heard that seniors can play the piano at the age of two and sing at the age of three, isn't it true?"
"Teacher Yuan, can you ask for an autograph for me?"
"Teacher Yuan, we want to see photos of Senior Brother Ye when he was a child."
“…”
Students are obviously more interested in Ye Cheng, because most of the songs in Ye Cheng's album are biased towards young people, especially students. For example, the song "Dao Xiang" is not very popular in society, but it has countless fans on campus.
For middle school students, songs such as "Rice Fragrance", "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Dongfeng Po", "The Legend of the World" with beautiful lyrics, beautiful melodies and novel styles can spread the songs of the king and queen out of ten streets.
The students' requests made Yuan Suyin very useful. She is very proud of being a mother as a mother. Yuan Suyin coughed, cleared her throat and said, "Okay, let me show you some photos of Chengcheng when he was a child."
Yuan Suyin sorted out all the photos of her son from childhood some time ago, and made a video with music. At this moment, she could just take it out to play. The beginning was a photo of Ye Cheng when he was full moon, followed by three months, six months, and one year old birthday. When the photo of Ye Cheng riding a Trojan horse was shown, a burst of exclamation broke out in the classroom.
"Wow, what a cute Senior Brother Ye."
"It's all bleeding."
"Teacher, can I copy this video to me?"
“…”
Outside the classroom, the principal accompanied the leaders of the Education Bureau and pointed to the podium inside and said, "Director Wei, this is Teacher Yuan Suyin."
Director Wei put his hands behind his back, and said with a big belly, "Well, Teacher Yuan's classroom atmosphere is very active. Now we advocate quality education and innovative education. I think Teacher Yuan has done a very good job in this regard. You see how active the students are in class."
The principal smiled and echoed: "Teacher Yuan has always been very popular with students. Sometimes she teaches students to sing Yue Opera. The school holds art festivals every year, and many programs are planned and rehearsed by Teacher Yuan."
"This is very good. Our education not only needs to teach cultural knowledge, but also cultivate artistic interests." Director Wei praised it for sure, then walked out of the classroom and whispered, "Principal Pan, I will evaluate the city's advanced teachers next month. You can prepare Teacher Yuan's advanced materials."
Principal Pan was delighted and nodded quickly, "Please ensure that the task is completed."
Director Wei said again: "Principal Pan, can you please invite Ye Cheng back. Next month, Huaying Commercial Street will be completed and opened. Secretary Yunbao attaches great importance to it. At that time, the provincial leaders and reporters will also come..."
Huaying Commercial Street is a political achievement project, which concerns the face of the superiors. Principal Pan dared not neglect it. He immediately said with a slap in his chest: "Ye Cheng is the child who went out of Quling. He will definitely support the construction and development of his hometown!"
Director Wei nodded and said, "Well, you must do this."
...
...
Yuan Suyin walked out of the principal's office, and Principal Pan personally sent her to the door, and said with a smile: "Teacher Yuan, I'll ask you for this matter. The superiors attach great importance to it."
"Don't worry, Principal Pan, I will do the work assigned by the leader." Yuan Suyin said that her husband had just reduced his sentence, and she could not refuse whether it was reasonable or reasonable.
After leaving school, Yuan Suyin took a bus to Quling City No. 1 Prison, and it was the day to visit the prison every month.
There was a long shopping queue in the small supermarket outside the prison. This was the hidden rule of visiting prisoners. You had to buy things in this store. Yuan Suyin queued for 20 minutes before finally entering the prison with a large bag of daily necessities.
Through the iron window, Ye Ping'an walked over with a smile. He was 1.83 meters tall. Although he was wearing a cushion and a buzz cut, he looked particularly energetic and could not see any depression or inferiority. If Ye Ping'an was put on a suit, he would definitely become an executive in the company in an instant. He would be the kind of handsome guy who could deceive the little girl while walking.
"Bring so many things again," Ye Ping'an smiled at his wife and asked, "Are you okay?"
When the two met, there was no bloody plot of crying each other. It was like chatting about family matters in a teahouse. Yuan Suyin said: "Have you finished reading the book I brought last time? This time I brought you "Old Books of Tang" and "Jiayou Collection" and my son's album "Chasing Dreams and Child Hearts".
"Has Chengcheng released the album?" Ye Ping'an asked happily. He could not access the Internet in prison. He only knew that his son had become a singer, and it seemed that this time the sentence reduction was related to his son.
"The album just released this month," Yuan Suyin stared at her husband tenderly and said with a smile, "When you are released from prison at the end of the year, our family can be together again."
Ye Ping'an sighed and said, "You have suffered in the past few years."
"I'll survive no matter how hard you are," Yuan Suyin said with a smile, "Chengcheng said, I'll give you a surprise when you come out."
Ye Ping'an joked: "It's not just that I just asked me to hold my grandson."
Yuan Suyin said: "Of course not. But Chengcheng has a celebrity girlfriend, she is very beautiful and has a good character."
Ye Ping'an said proudly: "That boy is born charming."
Yuan Suyin said with a funny look: "I haven't had a good face for several years."
Time passed in the chat, Ye Ping'an was urging by the prison guard to go back, Yuan Suyin waved: "Go, show it well inside."
Ye Ping'an waved goodbye to his wife, then turned around and left, and soon disappeared into the visiting room.
It is said that the so-called "Sai Weng lost his horse" is a blessing. Sometimes when Yuan Suyin recalls, she is actually very grateful for the changes that year. Before going to prison, her husband had a mistress outside, and she just pretended not to know. At that time, Ye Ping'an either refused to go home all night or came back drunk. The relationship between the couple was extremely cold, and they even planned to divorce after Ye Cheng's college entrance examination.
After Ye Ping'an was imprisoned, although the couple didn't have much time to meet, it was like returning to the period of passionate love, and there were endless things to say every time they visited.
After a few years, Ye Ping'an's beer belly disappeared and he became restrained and peaceful. While serving his sentence, he read all kinds of schools of thought and studied nearly half of the Twenty-Four Histories. After he was released from prison, he was qualified to go to the Chinese Department to teach.
In Ye Ping'an's words, prison gave him a second life, allowing him to truly understand what life is, what family is, and what responsibility is.
When he returned to the cell, a prison friend asked with a smile: "Lao Ye, are you going to see your wife again?"
Another inmate said: "Old Ye, you are lucky. You should be kind to your younger brother and sister after you go out."
"It must, it must." Ye Ping'an smiled and sorted out the things his wife brought, and put the CD of "Chasing Dreams and Child Heart" into the CD machine.
Inmate Lao Liu said: "It's a new song brought by my sister-in-law. Don't plug in the headphones, listen to it together."
Ye Ping'an unplugged his headphones, and the beautiful melody immediately echoed in the cell, and several inmates in the prison surrounded him.
After finishing the "Blue and White Porcelain", inmate Lao Yang said, "This song is nice, who sang it?"
Ye Ping'an replied: "My son."
The inmates were immediately amazed:
"Your son is really a singer?"
"Lao Ye, you are so awesome."
"Celebrities make a lot of money, just wait to go out and enjoy your happiness."
“…”
After savoring literature and history in prison, and cultivating one's character for more than four years, Ye Ping'an still has not reached the level of being calm in favor of the bad news. At least when he heard his inmates praise his son, he couldn't help but feel happy and proud, feeling that he was very proud.
However, when Ye Ping'an heard the song "The Sea and the Sky", he suddenly became silent.
“I once suspected that I was walking in the desert
Never bear fruit no matter what kind of dreams you have
The wind has just spread its wings but becomes silent
Can habitual pain be considered a reward
…”
How much hardship has Chengcheng endured and how much hardship has he experienced in the past few years before he wrote such lyrics?
It was obviously an inspirational song, but Ye Ping'an was urged to cry when he listened. If it weren't for his evil deeds, his son should have gone to a prestigious university, rather than going to work in Beijing before he finished high school.
He made his son’s success by himself. What qualifications do I have to show off in front of my inmates?
