Rejected the fat man's offer of "I'll check it for you."
For the next time, the two of them chatted and bickered on the phone, and Qin Jian clicked to refresh the page from time to time.
It wasn't until dawn that the computer page finally popped up.
"386."
Looking at the English score of 95 points, Qin Jian smiled.
"Looks like I'm lucky this time."
On the other end of the phone, the fat man was already snoring.
"Good night fat man."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Jian sent a message home, then took a shower and put his head on the bed.
"sleep."
"rest for a day."
...
The next morning, Qin Jian woke up, packed up, and set off to the bus station.
Go back to Yangcheng and have a look.
A score of 386 is very low, but it is enough for an art candidate.
Fang Xuehua prepared a table of delicious food for dinner, while Qin Gang took the four old people home.
The family had a warm dinner, but unfortunately someone from far away in the United States was missing.
Qin Jian only found out that He Jing had settled in Eastman after returning to China. Although he felt a little unhappy, he knew that the other party did not want to affect his game.
It just so happened that they were all on the same day.
Before going to bed, Fang Xuehua left the living room, leaving the space for the father and son.
Qin Gang picked up the cigarette case from the coffee table and took out a cigarette.
Looking at Qin Jian, "Want one?"
Qin Jian refused sternly, "I don't smoke."
Saying that, he stood up and lit the fire for the other party.
Qin Gang smiled and scolded: "Don't think I don't know, you kid has been smoking for a long time. When your mother was packing your luggage last year, she found a lighter in your trouser pocket."
Qin Jian smiled awkwardly.
moment.
"It's okay to smoke, but you must control the amount, do you hear me?"
"Don't worry, Dad," Qin Jian nodded and said, "You should smoke less in the future."
Qin Gang sighed, "What's your next plan? I heard from your sister that you plan to stay in China for two years."
"I may stay in Yanjing for two years and then look at the next step."
"You just need to have an idea of how to plan, and we can rest assured."
Qin Gang paused and said, "You are old now, and I have to tell you some things at home."
"The year before last, my family bought a facade house in Qianhu Community, and I filled in your name."
Qin Jian nodded, he knew this.
"This house was originally planned to be left to you, but your mother and I made a plan two years ago, and considering that you might have to go abroad this year, we sold the house two years ago.
"It was sold for a little over 400,000 yuan."
Qin Gang knocked the ashes from his cigarette.
"It turns out that your sister also planned to go abroad, so we divided the money into two parts, meaning that each of you would get half. But your sister was stubborn and didn't take the money when she left."
"But I still transferred the money to her bank card."
"I tell you this for no other reason than to let you know about my family's financial situation."
"In addition, whether you are going abroad or temporarily studying in China, you will inevitably have places to spend money in the future. Don't worry. As long as your parents are here, you can go ahead and go for it."
Qin Gang finished speaking, and the tip of Qin Jian's nose felt sour.
"Dad, please wait a moment."
With that said, he got up and returned to the bedroom.
When she came back, she had an extra bank card in her hand.
"This is my prize money from the competition in Vienna. You and my mother can keep it for me first."
Qin Gang smiled and said, "I know this, just pretend it yourself."
Qin Jian continued, "I kept some for myself, and I won't use the rest for the time being. Going abroad in the future will probably be at public expense. Why don't you take this money now and look at changing your house."
"Investment is out of the question. At least I won't have to sleep on the sofa during the holidays."
a long time.
Qin Gang let out a long hum, and had to say that Qin Jian's words did make sense.
Qin Gang nodded, "How much is in this card?"
"More than half a million."
Qin Gang sat up, his voice full of surprise, "Why so many?"
Qin Jian spread his hands and said, "The first prize in the Mozart piano group is worth one hundred thousand dollars, and there is also a prize for the best work worth twenty thousand dollars."
"Good guy, so many."
Qin Gang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
He knew Qin Jian had a bonus, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
"Okay, that's it. The password is the last six digits of my mobile phone number."
...
In the following time, Qin Jian told many stories about his experience participating in the competition in Vienna.
Qin Gang listened with great interest and expressed that he would also like to visit the House of Figaro if he had the chance.
In the middle of the night.
The two men discussed the issue of piano teaching.
Qin Gang also asked Qin Jian about the performance of the third movement of the Pathetique Sonata. He has been practicing it recently.
...
After resting at home for a day, Qin Jian accompanied Fang Xuehua to walk around the streets during the day, and cooked a meal in the evening.
Early on the third day, we set off back to Nanshi and started a new phase of our plan.
After passing the test in subject one, he began to travel to driving schools every day.
...
The middle of July soon arrived, and Nanshi turned into a steel furnace, roasting everything.
People have reached a state where they have to turn on the air conditioner 24 hours a day when they are indoors.
Although this is very unhealthy.
But there is no way.
After finishing his evening practice, Qin Jian stretched out.
Feeling the air conditioner above my head, "Without air conditioning, people would really die."
Just as I was about to go out for some fresh air, the phone suddenly rang.
"Ye Yi."
Qin Jian hung up the phone and sent a message.
Let it go: What's wrong? Teacher Ye
Ye Yi: Brother Jian, I have something to discuss with you.
let it go: you say
moment.
Ye Yi: Brother Jian, I plan to rent a house near the school
Ye Yi: Is it convenient to meet up?
Qin Jian held the phone and pondered for a moment, then glanced at the time. The other party still had twenty minutes to study in the evening.
Let it go: see you at the school gate later
Ye Yi:Okay
...
A cafe opposite Bol Art School.
The two looked at each other.
There is a small stack of money on the table.
"You can keep the money for now and pay it back later. There's no rush for now."
Qin Jian pushed the money in front of Ye Yi.
This is Ye Yi's salary for this month. I just got it today.
As for Ye Yi's thoughts, Qin Jian already understood that it was really inconvenient to take care of Ye Taotao and come to class every day. It was really inconvenient to run back and forth between the two districts.
"What about Taotao practicing the piano?"
Ye Yi pointed to the piano room building outside the window.
"Have you communicated with the school?"
Ye nodded.
Qin Jian shook the ice cubes in the cup.
The ice cubes jingled on the side of the cup, which made him a little irritated.
Ye Yi sat quietly, looking at Qin Jian with a smile, waiting for the other party's suggestions or answers.
Her idea was very simple. If the other party disagreed, she would just pretend that nothing happened tonight.
a long time.
Qin Jian sighed, "Where do you plan to rent a house? Is there an ideal location?"
Ye Yi nodded again and pointed out the window again.
Qin Jian looked in the direction of Ye Yi's finger, and saw the large lacquered gold characters of "Three Sons of Shui Mo Yuan" shining in the moonlight.
