While he was flipping through the pages, Aunt Xu sat down with a glass of warm water. Tu Nian took the cup and took a few sips without thinking too much.

After a while, Tu Nian felt that the atmosphere was slightly stiff as he drank a glass of water. She was about to warm up when she heard Aunt Xu suddenly speak.

"Tiantian's tuition is not worth a penny."

"Cough!" Tu Nian choked on a sip of water. She wiped her mouth in a panic and pretended to be calm: "The registration days were too busy and there were so many people coming. Aren't I afraid of disturbing your work?"

"So, I've had a lot of free time these days."

"That would make you anxious." Tu Nian's voice became softer.

"Have you been anxious for more than two months?" Aunt Xu's tone was still so slow.

"Oh, I was wrong. Don't you know this? Don't be angry." Tu Nian was immediately discouraged. She was shrinking her neck and not daring to speak out, for fear of offending this risky person again. On fire.

A man in his forties next to him looked at the two of them, laughing while picking up his lunch box, but he did not forget to smooth things over for Tu Nian: "Sister Xu, Teacher Qin also does good things, look at this being scolded by you. of."

When Aunt Xu heard this, she was so angry that she laughed twice. She took the water cup from Tu Nian's hand and said, "Doing good deeds? I have taken care of this child for so long. She doesn't want to save me some trouble. Instead, she has learned to take care of others with her own food and clothing."

Seeing that Tu Nian lowered his head and said nothing, as if he knew he was wrong, Aunt Xu calmly took out her cell phone and clicked twice.

Tu Nian was startled by the vibration in his pocket. He took out his phone and saw that it was a sum of money transferred from Aunt Xu, which was only much more than Tiantian's remaining tuition. She quickly raised her head: "No need..."

Before she could say anything, Aunt Xu glanced at her sideways.

Tu Nian realized what was going on, so he immediately kept silent and stuffed his phone back into his pocket.

Seeing the panic on Tu Nian's face, Aunt Xu's dark face was completely unbearable: "The last time I trained you like this was probably when I was making songs with Qin Lan."

When Tu Nian heard her mother's name, she couldn't help but glance at Aunt Xu quietly. She had a nostalgic look on her face and made two gestures with her hands: "You were only so small at that time, but now you are taller than me."

Having said this, before Tu Nian could respond, Aunt Xu smiled to herself: "This is all in the past." After saying that, she seemed to have remembered something, and at a glance, the pamphlet was indeed written by Tu Nian. Holding it in his hand: "By the way, why are you looking through my book?"

This question was the right one to ask. Tu Nian slapped his thigh and got down to business: "Have you visited a piano store for any performances recently? Please help me see if there is any suitable one that can make some money."

"A performance... It seems like you haven't participated in a performance like this for a long time." Aunt Xu took the book and lowered her head to look for it: "Do you have any requirements?"

"Just give me more."

Aunt Xu glanced at her lightly. She looked at the neat handwriting in the book, considered it for a while, and said, "There will be a large-scale performance at Yaoguang Square this Saturday, but the lead singer has already been decided, and now we are only missing a keyboard player."

"Keyboard player?" Tu Nian pondered for a moment, and then asked hesitantly: "How many can you get in this game?"

"The next offer is ten thousand, and you only have to be responsible for a part of the repertoire," Aunt Xu glanced at her again and added: "But the competition is fierce. As far as I know, many piano shops have been contacted."

"No problem, help me contact the person in charge, and ask for the music score by the way."

In less than ten minutes, Aunt Xu contacted the performance owner as Tu Nian said. After everything was settled, she asked lightly: "Are you short of money recently?"

Tu Nian rubbed his nose: "No, it's just itchy."

After saying goodbye to Aunt Xu and several teachers, Tu Nian returned to Huai Street.

Compared with Elm Street, the rain on Huai Street can be seen and touched but cannot be heard. The sound of rain was completely obscured by the various shouts in the alley. When he just returned from Elm Street, Tu Nian even had a tinnitus from the constant shouts. To her ears, Elm Street was actually more palatable.

After walking along the left alley of Huai Street for a while, Tu Nian picked out a fairly delicious restaurant, went in and ordered a portion of shredded potatoes, and ate it with porridge. He packed up what he didn't eat and took it away.

Tu Nian threw the leftovers into the refrigerator and collapsed back on the bed. It was just getting dark, about seven or eight o'clock, but she was already a little tired.

She pulled back the stuffy quilt, rubbed her still aching left face, stared at the dirty ceiling, and began to be in a daze. She has been quite economical this month. After excluding the following daily expenses, she can still have more than 3,000 yuan left. With the money she usually saves, she can barely cope with the extra repayment, but next month's The rent is a bit tight.

"Alas -" Thinking of this, Tu Nian let out a long sigh. She reluctantly got up from the bed and imported all the music scores from Aunt Xu into the computer.

"Is it a piece of music that I have learned?" Tu Nian browsed through the repertoire and showed a very rare expression of satisfaction: "The taste is quite good."

Looking at the black and white, jumping staffs, she hummed softly at the computer desk. With a humming sound, her hands flew back and forth on the table.

No matter when she was a child or now, her family had no extra money for her to buy a piano or even an electronic keyboard. Thanks to Aunt Xu, she has mastered this outstanding piano skill.

Aunt Xu once asked Tu Nian why he chose to teach guitar instead of piano.

Tu Nian's answer was simple. Unlike the guitar, her mother taught her how to play the piano. Now that her mother has passed away, she no longer has to play the piano except when necessary.

It is not difficult to understand that for her now, having no money is the most necessary situation.

Almost all the songs in the performance were ones that Tu Nian would listen to on weekdays, so she spent less than two hours memorizing them all.

As for the music needs of other parts, she has to negotiate with the person in charge on the spot. In terms of music theory, she prides herself on being much better than the average person.

After finishing the practice, Tu Nian stretched tiredly. She hugged the computer and slumped down on the soft chair, counting the notes boredly and worrying.

Liu Le's people said they would get the money tomorrow morning, but did not say a specific time. In other words, she has to take out the money tonight.

"Twenty thousand..." Tu Nian muttered quietly.

Now, she has finally understood how noble it is to not give up for five buckets of rice. Tu Nian swore that if anyone could really make her a million dollars now, let alone give in, she would be willing to even let her shine shoes.

Tu Nian fiddled with the computer, trying to complete the song that Zai Xing had written before, but he couldn't concentrate no matter what.

After a long stalemate, she finally couldn't help but threw the computer on the table.
