"Didi~~" Early in the morning, a car horn sounded at Liu Yufan's door.

Liu Yufan, who was playing Hanong in front of the piano, stood up immediately when he heard the sound, picked up a bag containing the music score from the piano, got up and walked out of the house.

"Mom, Brother Dong is here, I'm going." Liu Yufan said to his mother Chu Qing who was cooking in the kitchen. Today is his day for the piano exam.

"Wait a minute, I haven't eaten yet, why are you in a hurry?" Chu Qing said, uncovering the big pot, and immediately a fog rose, revealing a large tray of white and hot buns. Chu Qing then took a bowl, picked up two for Liu Yufan and handed them over.

"Let's go after you finish eating." Chu Qing said in an orderly tone.

"Oh." Liu Yufan took the bowl with a smile, took a steaming bun and took a big bite. The taste of the three fresh leeks is first-class! There are a lot of diced meat and shrimps inside, which is really delicious!

Now Liu Yufan earns a lot every month, and his family's conditions are getting better. In the past, he was willing to eat such meals once during the New Year holiday, but now it has become commonplace.

"Xiaofan, when will you leave?" Ma Wendong walked in with the car keys and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the room.

After looking at Ma Wendong, Liu Yufan smiled while eating buns, "I said, Brother Dong, you have grown your weight again. If you continue like this, you have to lose weight."

"Hehe, I know too, but I just can't reduce it. What's the solution?" Ma Wendong said with a chuckle.

"What to lose? Dongzi, don't listen to his nonsense. Come and eat two buns." Chu Qing said, and handed over a bowl, which was also two big buns. Ma Wendong often came to his house, and Chu Qing became familiar with him. At first, he couldn't stand his dress. After getting in touch with him, he realized that this person was actually a very talkative and loyal person. His impression of Ma Wendong gradually improved.

"Hey, I just like the rice my aunt cooks, it's delicious!" Ma Wendong said, picking up a big bun, taking a big bite, and not forgetting to stretch out his thumb, and said vaguely: "It's delicious, delicious! I didn't eat in the morning."

The two of them ate a few buns together, drank some egg soup, and got into the car one after another.

"Xiaofan, to be honest, I admire you very much. You said you are annoying to practice the piano every day. I can't stand it. I feel a headache when I see that game." While driving the car, Ma Wendong joked with Liu Yufan.

"Haha, Brother Dong, each person has one hobby. Just like me, I also want to sit on the card table and play mahjong like you, but I can't sit still, and I'll get annoyed after playing for a while. So, this person has to do what he likes." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"You are right. Xiaoya and you are the same kind of people. They both like to tinker with this kind of trick. Actually, I like to listen to what you play. I like to listen to all the songs you play at the wedding, but I can't understand the songs you play." Ma Wendong said while driving.

"Yes, many piano music are indeed high and low, and the audience is limited to a small circle. There is still a lot of work to do in the popularization of pianos." Liu Yufan said with emotion.

"Hehe, Yufan, why do I listen to you like a big leading cadre?" Ma Wendong teased Liu Yufan.

"Come on, Brother Dong, don't fool me, drive well." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"Yufan, how about it? Can you live today?" Ma Wendong finally remembered what he was doing today.

"It should be almost the same. I have been practicing for so long." Although Liu Yufan didn't say with certainty, his eyes showed strong confidence. How he practiced himself in the past hundred days, he knew best. He could not play the four grading songs more well. If he couldn't pass this, it would be a joke!

"By the way, how is the business in the store?" Liu Yufan did not forget his "side job", after all, this is his only source of income at present.

"Yes, I can get two or three hundred games a day, and the celebration is almost like this. I am content to be able to have this way." Ma Wendong said contentedly. He is really satisfied with his current life. The monthly income is enough for him to live a very comfortable and surplus. What else is he not satisfied with?

"That's not OK, Brother Ma, you have to look at the long term. What's this small scale? I'll look at the game hall. Next, you'll consider the arcade. When the grading exam is over, let's go to Beijing together. Zhongguancun is still very complete. If the price is appropriate, introduce a few units. The storage is more popular than this one!" Liu Yufan said confidently. From 1995 to 1998, the period from 1995 to 1998 was the most popular years of arcades. Liu Yufan didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money.

"You said that arcade machine, I have also played it in Beijing, but that game must be very expensive. I asked someone and said it would cost several thousand each." Ma Wendong said, sucking his teeth.

"There is a reason for high investment, and only high investment can bring high returns. Brother Dong, we must be more courageous and take faster steps. What is this? In a few years, we will have to go to the computer room and the Internet cafe. We must follow the trend of historical development and cannot always be content with the status quo!" Liu Yufan taught Ma Wendong. He could see that Ma Wendong now has a sign of "small wealth is at ease", which is not good!

"Yeah, okay, since you said yes, let's go and have a look in a while." Ma Wendong was quite convinced of Liu Yufan's words.

When she arrived in Fu'an, there were more Jiang Ya and Chen Siying in the car. Jiang Ya was the "team leader". The little girl Chen Siying, like Liu Yufan, took the grade exam, but she took the electronic piano exam. I heard that she also jumped to Level 3 in one breath and was preparing to take the grade 5 exam.

"Yufan, don't be nervous, just perform normally. With your level, there should be no problem passing the level." In the car, Jiang Ya smiled and relieved Liu Yufan's pressure.

"Well, sister, I'm not nervous." Liu Yufan said, but his heart was not as calm as he showed. Although he was well prepared, it was his first time to take the exam, so it would be fake to say he was not nervous.

"Siying, so are you. Don't be nervous at that time. Play well and try to live once." Jiang Ya also said to Chen Siying.

"Oh, I understand Teacher Jiang." Although he said this, Chen Siying was really a little unconfident. Thinking that he had jumped three levels this time, he was really unsure.

The car drove for more than an hour and drove into Jianghai city.

Aimei Art School is the largest art school in Jianghai City. It has dozens of teachers and hundreds of students in piano, vocal music, bamboo flute, erhu and other majors. The art school is located in the middle of Jianghai Street, the most prosperous Jianghai Street in Jianghai City. It is a three-story building. You can see the huge sign of "Aimei Art School". It can be said that this is the gathering place for the entire Jianghai City literary and artistic circles.

At the same time, the Philharmonic Art School is also a grading examination location designated by the Chinese Musicians Association. In April and October every year, there are two music grading examinations, including piano, vocal music, violin, erhu and other dozens of projects.

On the third floor of the Philharmonic Art School, in Wang He's office, there were several well-dressed and artistic men and women sitting.

"Come on, Xiao Shen, Xiao Zhu, Xiao Ma, Xiao Xie... Everyone eats fruits." Wang He got up to entertain the guests with intimate smiles on his face.

"Principal Wang, you haven't seen each other for a few months, and you are still so energetic." A young man with long hair like Wang He and very "artistic" said with a smile, then picked up the soft China on the coffee table and lit and sucked one.

"Hehe, Xiao Shen just speaks. No, old, old, I can't compare to you young people who are energetic. Thank you for your hard work in the past two days, I'll invite you to the newly opened water park for two days. This is a newly opened project this year, and it's so beautiful." Wang He said with a smile.

"Principal Wang is always so polite!" Several people said with a smile, but did not show any intention of refusing. Everyone is familiar with it, so there is no need to do some postures again. Anyway, this matter is already a routine.

"Principal Wang, how many children can take the grading exam in our Jianghai area this year?" asked Xiao Shen, who is the judge of the piano grading exam.

"This year is more than last year, about 600 people. I just looked at the piano and it is more than 170. This year your task is the heaviest." Wang He said with a smile.

"Yes, the conditions are getting better and better now. Many parents want their children to learn piano, and their ideas are good, but now some teachers teach that students, hey, don't mention it! A few days ago, they were judges in Hanzhong, and some children played it really nothing!" Xiao Shen shook his head and said.

"Yes, more and more people learn piano, and there are obviously not enough excellent teachers, so those who are not very good have also come to this industry, delaying the children." Wang He said with great pain.

"Yes, there are not many formal institutions like Aile Art School, and many children cannot enjoy high-quality education. I want to say, Principal Wang, you should open a few more branches to further expand the influence of the school, so that the overall literary and artistic level of Jianghai can be improved as a whole." Xiao Shen said.

"Hey, sometimes I think about it, but my energy is really limited. It is really heartbreaking to watch those children learn and practice blindly!" Wang He shook his head and said.

Several people were chatting in the room, but there were already people outside. In the small square in front of the art school, there were now full of students and parents preparing to take the exam. From a distance, there were many people carrying various musical instrument packs. Some even took out the instruments and started playing on the spot.

"Ha, it's so lively." Ma Wendong, who had parked the car, saw this scene when he got off the car, and said with a smile.

"Yes, twice a year, it's always like this. Now people's living conditions are improving, and more and more children are learning art. Let's watch it, and it will become more and more lively in the future. Let's not wait at the door, let's walk in." Jiang Ya said, taking the two children to the exam room not far away.
