“Today there were 24 children signing up.”

"It's more than 500 yuan?"

"It's already over 600. The students who didn't pay the money yesterday came here to pay today."

"This is too exaggerated!"

Looking at the stacks of banknotes on the table, Yu Chengli jumped up excitedly. Yesterday was over 500, but today it was almost 600. Will there be more tomorrow?

Li Dongqing's hands were trembling slightly at this moment. Although he was a few years older than Li Yange and Yu Chengli, because he was always at home to review the college entrance examination, his mind was relatively simple.

When I saw that I earned 1,000 yuan in two days, it was almost equivalent to the income of an ordinary official employee of a state-owned enterprise in a year. No matter how calm I felt, the subtle expression on my face still betrayed him.

Seeing the two of them being so excited, Li Yange said calmly: "Okay, don't be standing there either. Get your things packed and prepare to go back. Tomorrow is the last day of registration, and maybe there are still many students who want to register."

There are 50 students now. The number of students is still unknown on the last day of tomorrow. However, if you refer to today, there should not be more than twenty, or there will be a little less.

After all, I have been studying in the past two days, and the number of people who want to register tomorrow will definitely be much smaller than yesterday and today.

But even so, there will be sixty or seventy students in three days.

Li Yange naturally has no pressure to teach so many students at once. However, different students choose different instruments, and he did not consider the issue of excessive classes. He has to formulate a teaching plan today and tomorrow.

...

...

In a blink of an eye, another day passed.

Children's music tutoring class, the registration time for three days has arrived.

The total number of final applicants was 68, which was not much different from what Gu Ren expected.

The tuition fee of 20 yuan per student is 1,360 yuan in total; remove the purchase of violins, regular primary musical instrument textbooks published by the bookstore, old electric fans with unknown hands, some enamel cups for drinking water, and fruit tea drinks specially made by Yu Chengli, and the end of the actual amount of 1,000 yuan fell on the hands.

Is the money worth a lot?

Of course, if you have too many, just take the first wool mill where Li Yange's father Li Jianguo is located. Ordinary state-owned enterprise employees can get about 80 yuan a month, and 1,000 yuan is almost worth more than the salary of more than a year.

However, for Li Yange who has been reborn, 1,000 yuan is not much. And even in this era, in Beijing or some cities in coastal special economic zones, 1,000 yuan may be the cost of spending one night in a nightclub.

This is not a lie. When Li Yange went to Beijing to study in college in his previous life, he relied on his daily holidays to go to the dance hall with his classmates. He often saw people spending a lot of money and spending hundreds of dollars a night casually.

Especially when I heard from a person who has been to the special economic zone, nightclubs in Shenzhen are crazy. It is a common thing to spend more than 1,000 yuan a night. Occasionally, if a Hong Kong businessman comes, at least it will start at a few thousand yuan.

At that time, Li Yange often lamented that these people were too rich, and they spent hundreds or thousands of dollars a night. How rich would they have to be able to do it? Even households with 10,000 yuan would not dare to spend such a big money.

...

...

July 21.

After three days of registration, the "Children's Music Tutoring Class" run by Li Yange finally started.

Early in the morning, it was still dawn, so he rode his bike out and rushed to the old factory of Hongxing Sewing Factory.

Locked the bicycle, took out the key and opened the wooden door of the factory. Li Yange strode in.

Unlike when I first came, it was empty and nothing except dust.

Now there are not only seven or eight benches, but also many small bamboo chairs. There are also a wooden table in the corner of the wall, with 71 enamel cups and several large bundles of textbooks on it.

In order to choose suitable textbooks for students, Li Yange spent several days in Xinhua Bookstore. After searching for a long time, he found a relatively basic music textbook for children's enlightenment - "Basics of Music Theory"

This book was written by Li Chongguang and was first published by People's Music Publishing House in 1965.

Few people who have never studied music may know Li Chongguang. He was born in 1929 and successfully entered Peking Art College at the age of 20. Later, this school merged with the Central Conservatory of Music.

Later, in 1956, Li Chongguang was transferred to the Affiliated Middle School of the Central Conservatory of Music to teach chorus and basic music theory knowledge. He began 40 years of music theory teaching and research work, and even taught famous singers and composers such as Jin Tielin and Shi Wanchun.

This book "Basics of Music Theory" is Li Chongguang's first music-published book. Perhaps because of his ten years of teaching experience, the contents in the book are simple and concise, and are very suitable for beginners to learn, rather than academic books.

Therefore, this also led to the reprint of "Basics of Music Theory" which was best-selling for more than 20 consecutive years, with a total sales volume exceeding one million, becoming the best-selling basic music theory book in China and the first choice for most music lovers at present.

When Li Yange was in college in his previous life, he met Li Chongguang, but he was still a student at that time and just glanced at him from a distance in an open class.

After taking a little time to sort out the factory, Li Yange went outside to get some tap water and sprinkled it on the ground.

Although this factory is made of cement and it is also scratched, I don’t know if it is a lime problem. I cleaned it every day and dust will appear again the next day.

After a while, Li Yange was too lazy to clean carefully every day. In addition to simply sweeping away a little dust in the corners of the wall, he just wanted to find a way to sprinkle some water.

"Teacher Li!"

Suddenly, someone called Li Yange at the door. He looked back and saw an old lady in her fifties and sixties walking in with a little girl of eleven or twelve years old.

The old lady looked around and found that some water was spilling on the ground, which was obviously from the hands of this little comrade. She smiled and said, "Teacher Li came here to clean so early."

"Yes, come here early to clean it. After all, will school start on the first day of today?"

Li Yange smiled, lowered his head and looked at the little timid little girl. He remembered that it seemed that her name was Zhang Na?

Among the 68 students who signed up, except for the first boy who signed up, he remembered that he was named Wang Wei, the girl named Zhang Na was deeply impressed. There was no way for her to be the first to register for a violin, and she was also the only one who signed up for a violin in the tutoring class.

"Good morning, Zhang Na."

"Li...good morning, Teacher Li." Zhang Na lowered her head shyly.

"Student Zhang Na, please find a seat with your grandma first. Now there is still a while before class." Li Yange said, turned around and walked to the table in the corner, preparing to pour some cold white for the two of them.

"No need, Teacher Li, I just sent Nana over here. I still have something to do at home, so I won't sit down."

The old lady quickly refused, but she turned around and left without waiting for Li Yange to react.

For a moment, Li Yange and the little girl were left in the classroom converted into.

He handed the cold water that had just been poured on his hand to the little girl, and at the same time took out one from the textbook and said, "Student Zhang Na, the teacher wants to clean up. You can read this textbook first. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it."

"Okay Teacher Li." Zhang Na took the book obediently, sat obediently on the stool, opened the textbook and started reading.

She knew a lot of the words inside, but I don’t understand what they mean when they are combined together. There are also those strange symbols that I can’t understand at all.

After a while, after Li Yange packed up, the students in the tutoring class arrived one after another.

When all 68 students arrived, Li Yange looked at his watch and it was already 8.30.

Li Dongqing and Yu Chengli should also be on the way back.

"Okay, classmates, stop talking."

Li Yange clapped his hands, and soon the children who were originally chatting and chatting immediately became quiet.

"Today is the first day of class. Everyone has a basic music theory textbook published by the teacher, which contains very detailed music theory knowledge. In the next twenty days, the teacher will try to teach everyone how to identify different music symbols..."

Halfway through his words, Yu Chengli's cry suddenly came from outside: "Yan Ge comes out quickly and moves it for us, there are too many."

With a loud scream, the students in the class looked sideways.

I saw Yu Chengli and Li Dongqing outside the door, carrying many things in big bags.

Li Yange hurried forward to pick it up, and some students also went to help when they saw it.

He took the next big bag and put it on the ground and saw that it was full of bamboo flutes, with about twenty.

"How much did these cost in total?" Li Yange looked up and asked.

"The total amount is 612 yuan, of which the violin behind me is the most expensive, 58 yuan, but it is much cheaper than what you bought at a state-owned musical instrument store." Yu Chengli took off the violin box behind him and opened it and saw that it was exactly the same as the violin that Li Yange bought before.

"58, that's really much cheaper."

The one Li Yange bought the day before yesterday costs 65 yuan, which is seven yuan cheaper. It doesn’t seem to be a lot, but it’s enough for a person to spend several days on food.

He turned around and glanced at the little kids who were eager to see these instruments, and smiled and said, "Brother Holly, please send the children some musical instruments."

"OK."

Li Dongqing turned around and said to the child who had already been looking forward to it: "Students, come in with me and follow the teacher's name to receive his own musical instrument."

"Okay! Finally there is a bamboo flute."

"My Hulusi!"

"Erhu, my erhu!"

A group of children followed Li Dongqing happily.

Only Zhang Na stood timidly next to Yu Chengli, staring at the brown violin inside the piano case with her eyes fixed on her face.

Li Yange noticed this scene, took the violin and put it on the little girl's hand and said, "Student Zhang Na is a bit heavy, you should be careful when you take it."

"I know Teacher Li, I will be careful." After getting her own violin, Zhang Na's eyes seemed to shine, holding it and jogging into the classroom.

After everyone left, Yu Chengli suddenly said, "Yan Ge, do you know who the old man we met at the instrument factory last time? He is the director of the instrument factory!"

"Manager? No wonder I said how to write a note to get a discount. It turned out to be the factory director." Although Li Yange guessed that the old man was an old cadre, he didn't expect that he was the factory director.

"By the way, I met the Director Tian today. He learned that our tutoring class was on, and he also said that he would come here for a while in the past two days, and it seemed that he had something to come to you."

Looking for me? Li Yange was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, where is the fruit tea you made last night?"

"It's all done, it's behind the bike." Yu Chengli turned around and pointed.

Li Yange looked at it and saw an iron bucket on the back rack of the bicycle, about the same size as a water dispenser in later generations. This is the iron pot used to boil water at home.
