Ru Mei drank her tea, feeling a little bitter. She still didn’t like tea. Water was better, but everyone was drinking tea, so she didn’t say much. “Shui Shui, how many years have you studied with the teacher? How many songs can you play? ”
“I can’t say that I can play many songs. I can if I have music scores, but it depends on the difficulty of the songs. ” Qian Shuishui felt a little helpless.
Ru Mei felt that there should be some difficulty. “You learned Erhu a little late. What can you learn in a short time? ”
“I don’t think so. After all, the Erhu is not a musical instrument that can be learned in a short time. Take your time. I think it’s important to be grounded. ” She saw that ru Mei wanted to learn it early It was a little difficult because the Erhu was not a piano. These musical instruments were not so simple.
Ru Mei’s father and sister came over in the evening. Ru Mei’s sister, Xin Xin, came forward to greet elder Hu the moment she arrived. “teacher, ru Mei has disturbed you. She definitely doesn’t study hard. Teacher, you don’t have to be polite. Just scold her. I miss the time when I learned the Erhu. At that time, I even cried once. ”
“Hehe, you were also very naughty back then. ” How should he put it? The few students were very naughty. The only one that didn’t worry him was probably Shui Shui. He felt that Shui Shui didn’t fit in with them. It was as if she was a few years older than them In fact, she was younger than them.
“Xin Xin, this is Shui Shui. She can be considered your junior sister. She has studied for a few years. Your personalities are actually a little similar. Shui Shui is independent and strong. As for you, you are also very independent. I remember that when I saw you, you also had your own opinions. You won’t listen to whatever the teacher says.”He felt that Xin Xin and Shui Shui should get along well.
Ru Mei was a little unhappy. The teacher didn’t introduce her like this, so why wouldn’t she be independent?
Qian Shuishui’s friendly attitude made the two of them chat for a while. Xin Xin felt that Qian Shuishui was very well-mannered when it came to speaking, and she brought up many topics. “Let’s play the ensemble later. ”
“Sure. ” Qian Shuishui nodded in agreement.
Ru Mei was completely ignored while her father sat beside her and looked at ru Mei with resentment “You, can’t you be a little more obedient? You’ve been studying for a month and you don’t even know how to control your heart. When you go home, you don’t even practice. Sigh, if it wasn’t because elder Hu is your father’s friend, do you think elder Hu would accept a good-for-nothing student like you? ”
Ru Mei lowered her head and didn’t say anything. Every time, she would talk about her. She also had people, but she really didn’t have much interest. Elder Hu interjected “Alright, there’s nothing much to do. Take your time to learn. Even if you don’t have talent, you can still learn something. Shui Shui also doesn’t have talent. She’s a little tone-deaf. In terms of pitch, she can only rely on practicing and watching the beat. She’s not like some people who can rely on the sense of sound to walk. ”
“But don’t underestimate Shui Shui. As long as she learns something, she will put her heart and soul into it. She won’t think about anything else. Even if she doesn’t have talent, she will continue to learn. She doesn’t want to become an artist, but just because she’s interested in Erhu. ” Shui Shui’s hard work.. He liked it very much and loved it very much. Not only was the child not sensible, she also knew how to put in effort.
Shui Shui nodded “Haha, teacher, I will be embarrassed if you praise me so much. “. However, ru Mei, this kind of thing still needs to be interesting to myself. I don’t have talent, but I like the Erhu very much. I know how to put in effort and will work hard to learn it. Although I can’t be very proficient, I can still play whatever I want to play now.”. “playing the music that I like is very fulfilling. ”
To others, it might not be worth mentioning, but to her, it was very interesting. It all depended on the person. Qian Shuishui saw that she had finished eating the fruit and stood up. “I’ll go get the fruit. ”
Ru Mei followed her. “I’ll come too. ”
She didn’t want to be scolded by her father. He kept saying that she was useless and that ru Mei didn’t want to stay in the living room. Although teacher Hu also spoke up for her, he also said that he wanted her to work hard. However, she really didn’t like it. She walked to the kitchen with Shui Shui “Shui Shui, what do you think I should do now? I don’t really like Erhu. It’s my father who likes it. They say that traditional music is better than the piano. I have no choice but to learn the piano at such a late hour. They want me to learn Erhu. ”
“actually, if you don’t like it, you can have a good talk with your parents and choose what you like. Only then will you have the motivation. ” Shui Shui felt that this kind of thing still depended on her. She didn’t want to force herself to learn just because her parents said so. “actually, if you really don’t like it, you can talk to teacher Hu and let teacher Hu talk to your father. This should be much better. ”
“But my father won’t listen. ” Ru Mei had a headache. She couldn’t do anything about it. Her father was always like this and would be fierce to her when the time came. She wasn’t afraid of her mother, but she was afraid of her father. Her father would beat her with a belt even though she had grown up now Her father would still beat her up. She was very afraid. When the time came, she would be beaten up again. She actually wanted to go to the police station, but she didn’t dare.
Shui Shui patted ru Mei’s shoulder. “Let’s talk later. Let’s talk later. You can talk to teacher Hu first. ”
“Okay, then help me. ” She looked at Shui Shui and felt that Shui Shui was eloquent and could help her.
Shui Shui was a little hesitant. “We’ll see. I’ll help you talk about it. ”
“Okay, thank you. I’ll treat you to a meal another day. ” Ru Mei was a little grateful.
“I might not be able to help you, don’t you think so? ” She could only say that she would help if she could.
Teacher Hu would let everyone eat the fruit after she left.
Shui Shui winked at ru Mei. Ru Mei nodded and chatted with teacher Hu. Teacher Hu chatted with ru Mei in private for more than ten minutes. When he came back, teacher Hu looked at his old friend and said, “I think ru Mei actually prefers piano or guitar instruments. Do you want to take a break? After all, it’s most important for the child to like them. ”
Wu Zhichun shook his head “This child isn’t sensible yet. She will understand in the future that learning the Erhu is more beneficial than other musical instruments. Moreover, at her age, she can’t learn the piano and her fingers aren’t long enough. The ERHU is different. Many people are learning at this age. She still has a chance to achieve some results. Ru Mei, don’t be so insensible. Daddy is doing this for your own good. Why don’t you understand?”
Ru Mei lowered her head, feeling very wronged. “I really don’t like it. Can’t you let me learn what I like? Teacher Hu also said that this kind of thing can only be learned faster if you like it. ”
“Won’t you learn faster if you work hard? ” Wu Zhichun said angrily.
Ru Mei’s tears fell. Xin Xin hurriedly persuaded her father “Dad, my sister also has something that she likes. Actually, she can choose for herself. Moreover, she’s not a music student. She’s a liberal arts student. Learning musical instruments doesn’t just improve her personal qualities. ”
Xin Xin felt that ru Mei was very pitiful. She didn’t like it. Her sister was still young, so it was normal for her to have her own preferences.
“Dad, didn’t I learn Erhu? At that time, I only learned it because I liked it. I also learned it very quickly. My sister is different, ” Xin Xin persuaded. Then, she said, “Shui Shui, what do you think? ”
It was easier to talk to her if she had more people on her side.
Shui Shui was stunned. She had promised ru Mei just now, so she spoke a little “actually, interest is really important. I’m interested in all the things I study, so I’ll put my heart and soul into it. If I were to learn piano, my attitude might not be so positive. After all, I don’t have that kind of interest. “Uncle Wu, ru Mei has a carefree personality. She’s also a very direct person. She’s not interested in things she doesn’t like. If she studies with this kind of mentality, she’ll only be able to learn a small amount of knowledge. ”
“I know you, Shui Shui. You’re a sensible child. I heard from old Hu that you were the top scorer in science in the college entrance exam and then studied for a double diploma. It’s not often that girls can be so motivated. “. “Old Hu always praises you in front of me. I thought at that time that if other children could do it, my child would have a chance if she worked hard, but she was so disappointing. “Tell me, will parents’ experience harm their own children? ” Wu Zhichun asked He had known about Shui Shui since the beginning. It was old Hu’s fault for boasting about her every day. After talking too much, he would remember it. Today was the first time he met her, but he found that this girl had a good temperament and spoke elegantly. Alas, compared to his own child.. He realized that they were about the same age. As a parent, he also hoped that his daughter would be outstanding and let others praise her.
Old Hu had never praised his own child. He also knew that old Hu had very high expectations. It was really difficult for an ordinary child to please old Hu. However, the elder daughter was still okay, Xin Xin. However, Xin Xin’s talent was average. She was a music teacher in a university, but he was very satisfied. He thought that Xin Xin was very good at dealing with people and that he was also doing some small businesses in private. He was also making a name for himself. As for the younger daughter, she was his elder daughter.. He loved her dearly. He gave her whatever she wanted. However, when she was too disobedient, he would do it. However, it was also for her own good. He did not know when his daughter became more and more willful. He felt that he could not teach her anymore.
Shui Shui was indeed unable to refute. Sometimes, her parents’experience was indeed good. She could not say anything. She was not ru Mei, so she could not make decisions on her behalf. Perhaps in the future, she would look back and perhaps thank her parents.. She did not understand what kind of person Ru Mei was, nor did she understand her life, so she did not say much. “En, many times, I also work hard for my father’s expectations. This is also a good motivation. ”
“alright, ru Mei, don’t look at Shui Shui like that. You Want Shui Shui to help you, that’s fine, but you have to understand that she has no obligation to help you. Moreover, she just made things clear. Since your father is so insistent, maybe you insist on giving it a try. Maybe you will fall in love with the Erhu later. You will reject it from the start, and you will never like it, so you have to slowly understand. ” Elder Hu knew Wu Zhichun’s mentality He had high hopes for his son and his little girl.
