The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Everyone was very interested when they heard what Yuan Jingjing said.

They have long been envious of the teachers and students in those schools who can dance freely and play various tricks.

But they were also very distressed, unable to find any feeling.

Some boys always step on girls' feet, which makes them embarrassed and aggrieved.

As soon as Yuan Jingjing said hello, everyone gathered around. Even Liu Guangming stood on the outside with a dark face.

"Teacher Li Yuan, please teach us," Yuan Jingjing said.

"Classmates, the monitor is setting me on fire," Li Yuan resisted with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, tell the truth, and be strict if you resist."

"Yes, take out the secret book."

"Hand over your cards."

. . . . . .

All the classmates, instigated by the class monitor, started teasing Li Yuan.

"Okay, since everyone trusts me so much, it would be pretentious for me to refuse.

Ballroom dance pays more attention to musicality and rhythm, which the teacher mentioned last time.

Because I have practiced similar movements since I was a child, I have a certain foundation.

For everyone who is new to it, there must be a process where you need to slowly develop a sense of rhythm and music.

There is no way around this, it takes time.

As for whether there is a secret, I can't say.

My understanding is that boys in ballroom dance are more proactive and have to give hints to the female partner to motivate her.

At the same time, the female partner should remind the male partner, such as whether the rhythm is correct or not, there is someone behind the male partner, etc.

As for rhythm training, simply put, listen more and practice more.

Make rhythm with your hands or tap your feet to the music.

Okay, that’s all I know.”

"Don't just talk but show it," a boy shouted.

"Okay, who can sing "Nine-Nine Sunshine Sky"?"

"I can", it was the squad leader who spoke.

“In this way, the monitor will take the lead, and those who know how to sing will follow along.

I can't conduct, but I can beat everyone with my hands.

I will change the rhythm and everyone should sing along with my time.

This method can train everyone's rhythm and musicality.

From now on, everyone can beat and sing by themselves."

"Okay, monitor, you can sing now, I'll beat the time according to your rhythm first."

Yuan Jingjing didn’t show any stage fright either, so she opened her mouth and said:

That sunny day is coming in Jiujiu,

The eighteen-year-old brother was sitting by the river,

. . . . . .

At the end of the first sentence, Li Yuan followed the rhythm and started to beat.

Each time on the first beat, the intensity will be increased to give everyone a clear rhythm point.

Slowly several people started humming along.

"Okay, very good! Keep it up!"

"Okay. Pay attention, I want to change from 44 beats to 42 beats."

Li Yuan sped up the tempo, and his singing suddenly became chaotic.

Slowly, the class monitor caught up with the rhythm, and other students also slowly got into the zone.

After practicing twice, everyone can basically keep up with Li Yuan's changes in rhythm.

In the end, most of the students started playing along, humming or clapping along without remembering the lyrics.

"Okay, the rhythm is controlled by the squad leader, I will correct everyone."

The squad leader happily took over the task and began to beat time seriously.

Li Yuan came to those households in need and took them nearby to clap their hands.

Everyone played for 20 minutes. Li Yuan looked at the time and saw that the dance would start in less than ten minutes.

At this time, several students had already walked in, looking at them curiously.

"Okay, the dance music will start in a moment, you can tap your heels to find the rhythm.

Just now I also discovered that our female students have a strong sense of rhythm. You can help the male partners call out the beat later."

When the dance started, the monitor stood beside Li Yuan. When the music started, she took the initiative to pull up Li Yuan's sleeves.

Li Yuan seemed to have found the fun too, and took her to the dance floor.

"Don't resist later, I want to learn how to arrange flowers."

The monitor had long wanted to try it and nodded with a smile.

Li Yuan took her to pull out the drawers several times and gradually became familiar with the rhythm.

He started to practice flower arranging steps with her, and his hands began to coordinate left and right.

Pulling with the left hand and pushing with the right hand indicates to the other party to go to Li Yuan's left side.

Pushing with the left hand and pulling with the right hand indicates to the other party to go to Li Yuan's right side.

Slowly, the two of them found some rules. Of course, foot stepping and body contact were inevitable in the middle.

The two of them didn't seem to care much.

When the second song begins, the two can perform simple flower arrangement steps in relative tacit understanding.

Such an achievement makes the two of them very happy.

The two of them were paired together again, which made Liu Guangming very angry.

He couldn't help but use his right hand to pull Wang Fang into his arms.

Wang Fang sighed softly, her face turned red, but she didn't resist.

Liu Guangming looked around and felt guilty.

The school's dance hall was different from later generations. The lights were bright and all the action was in broad daylight.

So he quickly let go of Wang Fang, but placed his entire right hand on Wang Fang's back.

His left hand also grasped her right hand tightly.

At this time, Wang Fang glanced at Li Yuan subconsciously.

Seeing the smiling couple, she looked away harshly.

Her actions were all under Liu Guangming's sight.

He smiled sinisterly, and his right hand quietly slid down to Wang Fang's waist.

The third song was a waltz, and the two of them sat on the edge to rest.

At this time, Wu Shanshan ran over, sat next to the squad leader, held her arm and begged to dance to a song with Li Yuan.

The squad leader and Li Yuan looked at each other, and then she looked at Wu Shanshan and said, "Okay, I just have a rest."

Next, it became Li Yuan dancing with the two girls alternately.

In the middle of the show, Wu Shanshan naughtily used her little finger to scratch the palm of Li Yuan's left hand from time to time.

Li Yuan kept pretending not to know, his movements became more standardized, and he stretched his body wider.

At this time, on the other side, a pair of dance partners were practicing.

They slowly moved away from the area where the night classes were.

The man is in his mid-twenties, and the woman looks to be in her early 20s.

Due to their unskilled movements, the two would bump into each other from time to time.

The girl is shy and silent, but the guy will approach the girl's ear and say sorry every time.

At the same time, a very interesting phenomenon emerged: most of today’s dance partners are the same as last time.

And the male to female ratio happens to be 1:1.

During the dance, Li Yuan found that the monitor was more appreciative.

There are no small movements, and the whole process is very enjoyable.

However, Wu Shanshan kept making little moves, which made Li Yuan unhappy.

Perhaps the most depressing person today is Zheng Changchuan, who spends most of his time sitting down to rest.

At the end of the dance, the monitor called Li Yuan.

"Li Yuan, my dad has something to do tonight. He will ride back by himself. Can you see me off?"

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

Liu Guangming, who happened to be walking by, heard the conversation between the two and smiled and said hello.

He walked quickly to the bicycle, and then hurriedly rode outside the school.

Li Yuan and Yuan Jingjing each rode their bicycles towards the city.

"Your dad is so caring, what if there is no one to see you off at night?"

"I told my dad that you would definitely give it to me."

"You are so confident!" Li Yuan's heart suddenly trembled.

"I've seen the roster. Your home is not far from mine. Since we're on the way, it's okay if you give me a little extra."

Yuan Jingjing is laughing heartlessly now.

"Such a coincidence?! Yes, you are a technician at the No. Machine Tool Factory, and you should live in Dongzhimen.

By the way, your unit seems to be over there in Fangjia Hutong? "

"Yes, No. 46 Fangjia Hutong is a very quiet factory area."
