Yan Xiaonan looked at Ye Ren's upper body, which rose and fell rhythmically as he played the piano with great force, and his slightly fluttering white hair. From behind, he didn't look like an old man in his eighties at all; he was simply a charming gentleman.
Imagine Ye Chenming reaching this age in the future, will he be just like his grandfather, a true gentleman whether standing or sitting?
Before I knew it, the entrance to the music store was filled with students and passersby, all captivated by the stirring music, standing silently at the entrance, listening intently.
As the last note faded, thunderous applause erupted around them. Yan Xiaonan suddenly felt that they should buy another black piano to better reflect his grandfather's nobility and mystery.
"Boss, I want to buy two pianos, one black and one white. When can you deliver them to my door?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
"I'm not the boss, I'm just the store manager. Everyone calls me Xiao Qin. This piano can be delivered to your door soon. The black one needs to be ordered, and it will probably take at least a month," Xiao Qin said.
"Okay, do you accept cash checks or bank transfers here?" Yan Xiaonan asked readily.
"I'll transfer it through the bank, but could you please pay a deposit for the black piano you ordered?" Xiao Qin asked.
“No need to pay a deposit, just pay the full amount directly. It will save me from having to make another trip. Also, I need a teacher, long-term. My requirements are that she is patient, has a good personality, and preferably is a young girl,” Yan Xiaonan said.
Xiao Qin glanced at Grandma Yan and already had someone in mind. Her daughter was studying at the music academy next door, had a very good personality and temperament, and was free on weekends and during winter and summer vacations.
"How about this, my daughter has a class next door, and it should be over by now. Why don't you listen to her play the piano? If you like it, I can recommend her to my daughter, okay?"
Yan Xiaonan nodded and followed Xiao Qin to make the payment. They chose bank transfer. One piano cost 680,000 yuan, so two pianos would cost 1.36 million yuan. After a 5% discount, they paid a total of 1.292 million yuan.
Xiao Qin quickly sat down to issue the invoice, overjoyed. She had achieved her half-year sales target! If she could get another customer like this, she could comfortably sit back and win this year.
Where is my mother?
A little girl walked in and looked at the little girl who had been disliked by Ye Chenming earlier, and asked.
The young girl secretly rolled her eyes. She could have chosen to teach this old lady piano, but Manager Qin abused her power and recommended her own daughter instead. Humph.
Upon hearing her daughter's voice, Xiao Qin rushed over and introduced Yan Xiaonan and the others, especially Grandma Yan, who would be her daughter's sugar daddy in the future.
Upon hearing that a 96-year-old grandmother wanted to learn the piano, the young girl's eyes widened: "Grandma, I admire you so much! I will definitely teach you well. If you don't understand the first time, I'll say it twice. If you don't understand the second time, I'll say it ten times. Anyway, with me here, you will definitely be able to play a song."
"Little girl, play that song 'Mom's Good' for me," Grandma Yan said.
"Grandma, would you like to hear the song 'Only Mom Is Good in the World'? Okay, just a moment."
The little girl put down her book, sat down at the piano where Ye Ren had been sitting, and began to play. After a while, she started to sing, her voice a little hoarse, but extremely charming.
Yan Xiaonan's eyes lit up. If this girl was willing, she could still develop her career in a media and film company.
Grandma Yan listened with great interest. Although her voice was different from Liu Jin's, it was still very pleasant to listen to. When the song ended, everyone around her clapped. Whether it was singing or playing the piano, the little girl was quite talented.
Grandma Yan nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: "Nannan, my darling, this is the girl I like."
"Grandma, I'm nineteen years old this year. I'm a sophomore at the Beijing Conservatory of Music. You can just call me Xiao Nuan from now on," Xiao Nuan said respectfully as she walked up to Grandma Yan.
"How much does a class cost here?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
“If it’s a teacher arranged by our music school, it’s fifty yuan per lesson, one hour per lesson. My daughter’s lesson will be thirty yuan. She’s a student, so we can’t charge her a high price,” Xiao Qin said.
Yan Xiaonan had a good impression of Xiao Qin; he was straightforward, had good character, and most importantly, wasn't greedy.
"Xiao Nuan, when are you coming to my house? Why don't you come over now and familiarize yourself with the place?" Grandma Yan said happily.
"That's fine. The master will be here soon. They'll deliver the piano to our door and calibrate it. Xiao Nuan, you should go and take a look. It'll be good for you to learn something too." Xiao Qin quickly agreed.
More than an hour later, a white grand piano was placed in Grandma Yan's main room. It didn't match the original furniture at all. The classic mahogany canopy bed paired with the white grand piano looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.
But Grandma Yan likes it. She thinks this piano is the most beautiful piece in the whole room. She takes Xiao Nuan's hand and makes her sit down, and she can play any piece of music.
Xiao Nuan followed the truck delivering the piano to the courtyard house. Seeing the guards on duty at the gate, she knew that this family was no ordinary person. Now she realized that they were the famous Ye family in Beijing.
Xiao Nuan was so happy she didn't know how to express her excitement. Being able to teach the Ye family's grandmother to play the piano would be a highlight for her when she graduated.
She quickly sat down. Instead of playing any famous piano pieces, she cleverly chose some popular songs that were easy to understand and had a cheerful rhythm, making them very easy to learn.
Hearing the clanging and banging coming from the courthouse, Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chenming both laughed. The aunt hurriedly went to prepare lunch, it seemed that she would have to cook for one more person today.
Ye Ren had already instructed Ye En to tidy up Fu Qingping's embroidery room a bit, leaving a space in the middle where the piano would be placed once it arrived.
In your spare time, you can play a few dance tunes that Qingping likes, or softly recite a few Tang and Song poems. However, Qingping doesn't really like black, so why don't you go out and buy a nicer piano lid?
Ye En drove Ye Ren to the department store. After driving around for a while, Ye Ren spotted a pink silk piano lid with tiny floral patterns and asked the salesperson to take it down for him to look at.
The attitude of the waiters now is completely different from that of the waiters before. They took off the piano lid with great enthusiasm: "Sir, this piano lid just arrived. Although it is a bit expensive, the quality is good. Look at this lace around the edge, it was all hand-sewn on."
I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like for my daughter to play the piano.
The image of my grandmother, her body hunched over, her face almost pressed against the piano, flashed before my eyes, and I couldn't help but smile from the bottom of my heart.
