"A total of 24 children have signed up today."

"More than 500 again?"

"It's more than 600, and the students who didn't pay yesterday have all come to pay today."

"That's an exaggeration!"

Looking at the stacks of scattered banknotes on the table, Yu Chengli jumped up excitedly, more than 500 yesterday, almost 600 today, will it be more tomorrow?

Li Dongqing's hands were also trembling slightly at the moment, don't look at him a few years older than Li Yange and Yu Chengli, but because he is reviewing the college entrance examination at home all the year round, his mind is still relatively simple.

As soon as he saw that he earned 1,000 yuan in two days, which was almost equivalent to the income of an ordinary regular employee of a state-owned enterprise for a year, no matter how much he wanted to calm down in his heart, the subtle change in expression on his face still betrayed him.

Seeing that the two of them were so excited, Li Yange said very calmly: "Okay, don't be stunned, you two should quickly pack up your things and prepare to go back, tomorrow is the last day of registration, maybe there are still many students who want to sign up." ”

Now the number of students is already 50, and the number of students is still unknown for the last day of registration tomorrow, but if you refer to today, it should not exceed 20, or it will be a little less.

After all, in the past two days, everyone who wants to come to learn has come, and the number of people who sign up tomorrow will definitely be much less than yesterday and today.

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

Teaching so many students at once, Li Yange naturally has no pressure, but different students choose different musical instruments, and he hasn't considered the problem of class assignment, so he has to make a good teaching plan today and tomorrow.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

For children's music tutoring classes, the three-day registration time is coming soon.

In the end, the total number of applicants was 68, which was not much different from Gu Ren's expectations.

The tuition fee is 20 yuan per student, and there are 1360 yuan in total; Removing the purchase of violins, regular primary musical instrument textbooks published in bookstores, old electric fans with I don't know how many hands, some enamel cups for drinking water, and fruit tea drinks specially for Yu Chengli, in the end, there were about 1,000 yuan actually left in his hands.

Is it a lot of money?

Of course, there are too many, just take the No. 1 Woolen Spinning Factory where Li Yange's father Li Jianguo works, ordinary employees of state-owned enterprises can get about 80 yuan a month, and 1,000 yuan is almost worth more than a year's salary.

However, for Li Yange, who was reborn, 1,000 yuan is really not much. And even in this era, in the capital or some coastal special economic zone cities, 1,000 yuan may be the cost of spending a night in a nightclub.

This is not a lie, in his previous life, when Li Yange went to the capital to study at university, he relied on his weekday vacation to go to the dance hall with his classmates, and he often saw someone spending a lot of money, and he spent hundreds of yuan casually in one night.

In particular, I heard from a person who has been to the special economic zone that the nightclubs in Shenzhen are called crazy, and those who spend more than 1,000 yuan a night are sparse and commonplace.

At that time, Li Yange often sighed, these people are too rich, they spend hundreds or thousands of yuan a night, so how rich do they have to do it? Even 10,000 yuan households probably don't dare to spend so much money.

……

……

July 21st.

After three days of registration, Li Yange's "Children's Music Tutoring Class" is finally the day of the class.

Early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, he rode out on his bicycle and hurried all the way to the old factory of the Red Star Sewing Factory.

After locking the bicycle and taking out the key to open the wooden door of the factory, Li Yange strode in.

Unlike when I first came, it was empty, with nothing but dust.

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

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

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

Born in 1929, he successfully enrolled in the Beiping Art School at the age of 20, which later merged with the Central Conservatory of Music.

Subsequently, Li Chongguang was transferred to the High School Affiliated to the Central Conservatory of Music in 1956 to teach choral and basic music theory knowledge, and began to teach music theory teaching and research for 40 years, and taught well-known singers and composers such as Jin Tielin and Shi Wanchun.

This "Foundations of Music Theory" is Li Chongguang's first music book, perhaps because of his ten years of teaching experience, the content of the book is very simple, concise, and very suitable for beginners to learn, not the kind of academic books.

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

When Li Yange was in college in his last life, he had met Li Chongguang once, but he was still a student at the time, and he just glanced at it from a distance in an open class.

After spending a little time tidying up the factory, Li Yange went outside to get some tap water and sprinkled it on the ground.

Although the factory is made of cement and is also white, I don't know if it is a lime problem, so I clean it every day, and dust will appear again the next day.

After coming and going, Li Yange was too lazy to clean up every day, except for simply sweeping away a little dust from the corner of the wall, he was trying to find a way to sprinkle some water.

"Teacher Li!"

Suddenly, someone shouted Li Yange at the door, and when he looked back, a fifty or sixty-year-old grandmother walked in with an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.

The old grandmother looked left and right, and found that there was some water sprinkled on the ground, which was obviously from this little comrade, and said with a smile: "Teacher Li came to clean so early." ”

"yes, come over early and clean up, after all, it's the first day of school today."

Li Yange smiled, lowered his head and looked at the little girl who was a little timid, he remembered that it seemed to be called Zhang Na?

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

"Good morning, Zhang Na."

"Lee... Good morning, Mr. Li. Zhang Na lowered her head a little shyly.

"Zhang Na, you take grandma to find a place to sit down first, there is still a while before class." Li Yange said a word, turned around and walked to the table in the corner, ready to pour some cold white for the two of them.

"No need, Teacher Li, I just sent Nana over, and there is something to do at home, so I won't sit down."

The old grandmother hurriedly refused, and turned around and left without waiting for Li Yange's reaction.

For a while, in the classroom converted from the factory, there were only two people left, Li Yange and the little girl.

He handed the cold water he had just poured in his hand to the little girl, and at the same time took out a copy of the textbook and said, "Classmate Zhang Na, the teacher needs to clean it up, you read this textbook first, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it." ”

"Okay, Mr. Li." Zhang Na took the book obediently, sat on the stool honestly, opened the textbook and read it.

She knows a lot of the words in it, but she doesn't understand what they mean when they are combined, and there are those strange symbols, which she can't understand at all.

After a while, after Li Yange cleaned up, the students in the tutorial 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 students, let's stop talking."

Li Yange slapped his palms, and soon the children who were originally chatting immediately quieted down.

"Today is the first day of class, everyone has a basic music theory textbook issued by the teacher, which has a very detailed knowledge of music theory, and in the next 20 days, the teacher will try to teach everyone how to recognize different music symbols......

In the middle of speaking, Yu Chengli's voice suddenly came from outside: "Yan Ge hurry up and come out to help us move, it's too much." ”

There was a loud shout, and the students in the class looked sideways.

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

Li Yange hurriedly stepped forward to get it, and some students also went over to help when they saw it.

He took a large bag and put it on the ground to see that it was full of bamboo flutes, about twenty or so.

"How much did it cost?" Li Yange raised his head and asked.

"A total of 612 yuan, of which the violin behind me is the most expensive, 58 yuan, but it is also much cheaper than the one you bought in the state-run musical instrument store." Yu Chengli took off the violin box behind him and opened it to see that it was exactly the same as the violin that Li Yange had bought before.

"58, that's a lot cheaper."

The one Li Yange bought the day before yesterday cost 65 yuan, which is seven yuan cheaper, which doesn't seem to be a lot, but it is enough for one person to eat for several days.

He glanced back at the little kids who were eager to wear these instruments, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Brother Holly, please send the children some instruments." ”

"Okay."

Li Dongqing turned to the children who were already looking forward to it and said, "Students, everyone follow me in, and according to the name of the teacher, everyone will receive their own musical instruments." ”

"Yay! Finally, there is a bamboo flute. ”

"My gourd silk!"

"Erhu, my erhu!"

A group of children happily followed Li Dongqing in.

Only Zhang Na was still standing timidly next to Yu Chengli, staring at the brown violin in the piano case.

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

"Knowing Mr. Li, I'll be careful." got her own violin, Zhang Na's eyes seemed to shine, and she trotted into the classroom with it in her arms.

After everyone left, Yu Chengli suddenly said, "Yan Ge, do you know who the old man we met last time in the musical instrument factory is?" It's the director of a musical instrument factory! ”

"Factory director? 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 it to be the factory director.

"By the way, I also met the director of Tian today, he learned that our tutoring class has started, and he also said that he has time to come over in the past two days, as if he is looking for you for something."

Looking for me? Li Yange was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I know, what about the fruit tea you made last night?" ”

"It's all done, in the back of the bike." Yu Chengli pointed back.

Li Yange looked over and saw an iron bucket on the back rack of the bicycle, about the same size as the water dispenser in later generations, which was the iron kettle used to boil water at home.

He walked over and untied the rope and carried it, it was quite heavy, almost five or six pounds, and said: "It's almost 9 o'clock now, and after a while, you remember to pour fruit tea for the children, your job now is to be a good life teacher." ”

It is said to be fruit tea, but it is actually tea made from tea leaves with a little cane sugar, and a little tangerine peel is added, which tastes sweet and sour.

Li Yange wanted to make a little better for the children, but sugar is too expensive these days, not to mention fruits, and it is already very good to have tea and tangerine peel water.

Yu Chengli patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely be a good teacher of this life!" ”

On the first day of teaching today, Li Yange originally wanted to teach how to recognize different musical symbols, but the students were all teenagers, and they had just gotten their own musical instruments, so they were excited and had no energy to listen to the lectures.

Seeing this situation, Li Yange also changed today's teaching content, first let everyone calm down, and then teach those children who learn the bamboo flute, how to place the gestures, let them blow blindly, and if they can blow the sound, they will be qualified.

and concocted the same way to teach gourd silk.

As for the erhu and violin, it's a bit more difficult, and it's easy to make a sound, but it's all noise. And everyone's movements are different, some hold the erhula, some carry the erhula, so they have to teach each child how to pose the instrument hand-in-hand.

After some tossing, more than an hour has passed, Li Yange is also tired enough, this is the first time he has taught children to learn musical instruments, and he has to teach four different musical instruments at once, which is indeed a big head.

A busy morning passed like this, during which Yu Chengli was very responsible for the work of the life teacher, and prepared cool and thirst-quenching fruit tea for each student, sweet and sour with a taste of tea, and soon became the favorite of the children.

"Whew, I'm pretty tired this morning."

When the children went back, Li Yange took a breath, thinking that there were still two hours of class in the afternoon, and he also said to Yu Chengli and Li Dongqing: "Come here in the morning, you two will come over at half past one in the afternoon." ”

Tutorial classes are held from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., for a total of five hours a day.
