Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1008 268. The knot in my heart has been untied! Is the marriage settled?
Early in the morning on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Teacher Xiaomi was woken up and opened the bedroom door. On the sofa in the living room, Li An was watching TV with his grandmother.

The grandparents and grandchildren watched and discussed who was the bad guy.

It’s hard for Ang Lee.

My grandma has poor hearing, so if others want her to hear something clearly, they have to speak loudly into her ear.

"Grandma!"

Teacher Xiaomi came over and sat on the other side of grandma. Grandma asked Chen Xuan to wash her face and brush her teeth, and then she got up to heat up the food.

"I want to watch TV for a while, too! Go heat up some food for me later!!"

Grandma obviously heard it clearly. She sat down and moved her butt to the left, then returned her attention to the TV.

Chen Xuan: "What time did you get up?"

Li An: "Around six o'clock."

Chen Xuan: "Bullshit, you were not in bed when I got up at 5:30 to go to the bathroom."

Li An: “Huh?”

It was already 1:30 last night when we got home from playing cards. Li An and Lao Chen had a few more drinks, and Chen Xuan didn’t even know what time Li An went to bed.

Chen Xuan: "Were you woken up?"

Lee Ang: "That's really a low level statement."

Chen Xuan: "Grandma can't hear clearly, and she doesn't know how to control the weight when working."

Knowing that Li An and Chen Xuan had to leave today, grandma started busying herself in the kitchen at five o'clock, and the clanging noise was quite loud.

Lee An: "Grandma's tofu soup is really good."

Chen Xuan: "How many bowls did you drink?"

Li An: "Two bowls, and I learned a trick from my grandma."

Chen Xuan smiled: "Go in and get some sleep, we can leave later."

Li An: "Let's sleep on the plane. We will leave early and come back early. Uncle and aunt have to go to Fourth Grandfather's house tonight. Let's leave early after lunch so that they can rest for a while. Uncle and aunt have been too hard these past two days."

Chen Xuan: "What time did my mother leave?"

Li An: "Auntie left at 6:30, and uncle left a while ago and said he was going to buy something. I wanted to go with him but he wouldn't let me. Alas."

Chen Xuan: "Listen to me, take whatever they ask you to take when you leave, don't refuse."

Li An: “I’m a little embarrassed.”

Chen Xuanle: "I saw you were quite bold last night, but you became reserved again after waking up from sleep."

Li An curled his lips: "These are two different things."

Chen Xuan: "Okay, just listen to me in my house."

After a meal, "Grandma! I'm hungry!!"

When grandma heard this, she quickly stood up and stopped looking for the bad guy. Li An put down the remote control and followed grandma to the kitchen.

Half an hour later, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren set out for the beach together.

Chen Xuan drove the car, while Li An and his grandmother sat in the back seat.

For today's trip, grandma specially changed into a new red coat before going out.

Li An said that grandma was very beautiful, but Chen Xuan rolled her eyes at him.

The streets and alleys are still full of the festive atmosphere.

Passing by a music training institution, Li Ang opened the system classroom and took a look.

Only two children practiced the piano yesterday. Tang Xiaoxing practiced for three hours and Xiaoche practiced for eight hours.

Alas, there is nothing surprising about Ang Lee.

On New Year’s Eve the day before yesterday, Tang Xiaoxing did not practice the piano, but Xiaoche practiced for nine hours.

Rongcheng.

Xiaoche also put on new clothes and followed Laoche to his aunt's house early in the morning.

As one of the few relatives in Chengdu who I still keep in touch with, Xiaoche would go to my aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings early on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year.

Unlike last year, this year her aunt gave her 500 yuan in New Year's money, 300 yuan more than last year, and also gave 500 yuan to Zhizhi.

According to convention, the New Year's money must be handed over. Xiao Che knew that her father had deposited all of it in a bank card for her, including her competition prize money and the red envelope given to her by Uncle Fu Tianming.

But in the past it was her father who saved the money for her. Today, her father said he would take her to the bank to teach her how to save money.

After having lunch at his aunt's house, Xiaoche learned how to deposit money at the ATM under the guidance of his father.

Very simple.

When I get home, the new year for Xiaoche is basically over.

When the store opens the day after tomorrow on the fourth day of the New Year, the winter vacation will officially enter the second half.

In previous years, Xiaoche and Dingzi would stay at home on the third day of the Lunar New Year, while Laoche and Sangping would go to the countryside to visit Sangping's aunt.

After Zhizhi was born, the three of us went back to the countryside to stay for one night and came back on the fourth day of the New Year.

Anyway, Xiaoche had never been there once, and she refused to go when Oldche asked her to.

She didn't want to go or not, but Xiaoche knew that Aunt Sang was raised by her aunt. If she were Aunt Sang, she would also go back to the countryside to visit her aunt when she had time.

In her memory, Aunt Sang would go back two or three times a year on average, and would always come back early the next morning.

She guessed that Aunt Sang also wanted to stay one more day to accompany the old man she had never met, but the store could not do without Aunt Sang.

The business of the store would not be affected if neither she nor Dingzi were absent, but Aunt Sang would be acceptable if she was absent.

Just now when we were having dinner at my aunt's house, my aunt asked my dad and Sang Ping when they were leaving. Xiaoche knew that my aunt was referring to going to the countryside.

Dad said he would go tomorrow afternoon.

It sounded the same as last year's arrangement, but Xiao Che suddenly realized why Dad and Aunt Sang couldn't go today.

Today, the family is closed and no one will come to their house to pay New Year's greetings. If we go today, won't Aunt Sang be able to stay in the countryside for one more day? One more day with the old lady?
This problem is hardly a problem for a seventh grade car.

Perhaps she had always known the answer to this question, but she had consciously ignored it in the past.

She also wanted to stay with her father during the New Year.

Thinking of this, Xiaoche immediately wanted to make a decision, but what should he do about practicing the piano in the next two days?

If she left with her dad, Aunt Sang, today, she wouldn't be able to practice the piano today, nor tomorrow. In this way, she would definitely not be able to fill her piano practice schedule with blue kitten stickers before the end of the holiday.

Hmm~~~~~
As soon as he got home, Dingzi was anxious to start cooking. Lao Che asked Dingzi what he wanted to do, and Dingzi said what could he do, just make some barbecue.

"Master, please discuss this with my uncle. I will go over early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year to cook. No wonder Chuan Chuan has been so thin since he was a child. The couple's cooking skills are getting worse every year."

Lao Che curled his lips: "You are the one who has too many things to do."

After a pause, he said, "If you want to make it, just make a little more."

Nail: "~"

Sang Ping came to the kitchen door and said, "Don't bother with the stove. I'll treat you tonight. Let's go eat Tian's fried chicken."

When he heard that Tian's fried chicken nails were cooked, he turned off the fire. Lao Che smiled in his heart, "It's New Year's Day and I'm short of meat. How can it be better than our roast meat?"
Then Dingzi realized something and lowered his voice in an instant: "Shouldn't Linlin practice piano at night? She didn't practice in the morning."

After hearing what Dingzi said, Lao Che and Sang Ping were also confused. Linlin practiced the piano at home for a whole day on New Year's Eve, and practiced at home for another day yesterday, the first day of the New Year, as if the New Year had nothing to do with them at all.

Lao Che thought about it and decided that it wouldn't hurt to spend one night there.

A moment, "Nail."

Nail: “I’m not going.”

Lao Che: "Tsk, she is willing to listen to you."

Dingzi: "It's up to you, Master, to do this!"

Then he said, "Linlin, come here quickly, Master is calling you!"

Lao Che's face turned black, and Dingzi just laughed and prepared to eat the melon.

Just then, Xiaoche, who was hiding at the bedroom door and eavesdropping, heard the sound and ran over.

"What's the matter?" Sang Ping asked with a smile, "Linlin, do you want to eat fried chicken tonight?"

Xiaoche thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat!"

Seeing this, Lao Che asked: "Do you still practice piano at night?"

Xiaoche: "I don't want to practice anymore."

what?
This shocked the three of them. It was really unexpected that Che Lin could say such words so easily.

Nail clapped his hands: "It's done!"

If the three people were just surprised by Xiaoche's statement that he would not practice the piano, then Xiaoche's next words were like a bombshell dropped into the kitchen.

“Is there fried chicken in the countryside?”

Before Sang Ping could react, Ding Zi shouted, "Yes, the fried chicken in the countryside is the best. They are all big roosters raised at home. They are so delicious! You haven't eaten it, right, Master!?"

Just as the old car was about to speak hesitantly, the young car said happily, "Let's go to the countryside to play! Let's go today, okay!"

Hearing Xiao Che's excited tone, Lao Che looked at Sang Ping with a smile, "Boss lady."

"Hey." Sang Ping responded softly, then looked at the car, "Then Linlin, go practice the piano. We'll wait for you to finish."

Xiao Che pouted when he heard that, and said in a slightly spoiled tone, "I practiced all day yesterday and the day before yesterday, so I want to take a two-day break."

Then he grinned, "Auntie Sang, let's go now!"

Facing Xiaoche's expectant gaze, Sang Ping's heart couldn't help but tremble again. She smiled softly and nodded: "It's cold in the countryside, you have to wear something thicker."

"What are you waiting for, Master!" Dingzi slapped Lao Che on the shoulder, "Pack your things quickly!"

At 1:30 p.m., Lao Che and his family of five boarded a black car bound for the countryside.

"Let's go."

Dingzi sat in the passenger seat, Lao Che and Sang Ping sat in the back seat.

Xiaoche sat between the two adults, holding Zhizhi in his arms.

Zhizhi also wore a little red hat today. From the moment she got on the bus, she looked curiously at everything outside the window, looking left and right.

Before the car even left the city, Dingzi fell asleep.

"Linlin, give Zhizhi to me and you can get some sleep."

"Auntie Sang, I'm not sleepy."

But Zhizhi fell asleep right after the nail.

"Then you play with your phone." Sang Ping still took Zhizhi from Xiaoche's hand.

Holding a baby is so tiring, and Sang Ping was reluctant to let Xiaoche suffer this.

But Xiaoche didn't want to play with his phone, so he kept bouncing around like that, and soon he started to feel sleepy.

Suddenly her head tilted and she fell asleep on Sang Ping's shoulder.

The two adults smiled at each other, and then looked at the two sleeping children at the same time.

Perhaps happiness describes this moment.

Lao Che reached out to take his son, he wanted Sang Ping to sleep for a while too.

Sang Ping shook her head and motioned Lao Che to take a nap.

At this moment, the cell phone in Xiaoche's pocket vibrated several times.

Old Chen's family of four plus his grandmother, a total of five people, had lunch on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Before dinner, Song Lian was packing luggage for Li An and Chen Xuan. In addition to the express delivery, Li An and Chen Xuan had to bring two extra large boxes.

They were mainly some dried seafood, all of which Li An was going to bring back to Yucheng.

Li An also listened to Chen Xuan's words and didn't say anything more polite.

After the New Year, Chen Xuan has to come back again before returning to France, so today is not a complete farewell.

Song Lian and Lao Chen didn't give any further instructions, as they had said almost everything that needed to be said in the past two days.

Song Lian and Lao Chen also talked to Chen Xuan privately. They were planning to buy a car, so Lao Chen gave Chen Xuan a bank card.

Li An's various performances and actions after his return this time have been unanimously recognized by the whole family. In fact, it has nothing to do with this. Old Chen has been optimistic about Li Ang for a long time.

Besides, the two of them have already done this, so the next thing to do is to wait for the matter to be done.

When Lao Chen and Li An returned home last night, they had a deep conversation while drinking, including Chen Xuan's work issues after returning to Chengdu.

If Chen Xuan could enter Rong Ai, it would really put Old Chen's mind at ease.

Old Chen did not doubt Li An's words at all. Based on his understanding of Li An, if Li An could tell him about this in advance, then there would be no problem.

So as an elder and as Li Ang's future father-in-law, since he was not able to get started when Li Ang opened the school, he should help him get a means of transportation afterwards.

Even if the dowry is given in advance, Lao Chen really hopes that this matter can be done this year.

Then he was completely relieved.

Well, there’s nothing to worry about.

Anyway, he has already given the bank card to Chen Xuan, so the two children can discuss the rest of the matters themselves.

"Li An, it's almost time for us to leave. You two have a lot of stuff, so let's go early."

"Yeah, uncle, you and aunt will come back soon and take a rest."

At this time, grandma came over and took out another red envelope from her pocket to give to Li An.

"Thank you, grandma! Thank you, grandma! But please wait a moment!"

This time it wasn't that Li An didn't listen to Chen Xuan. His grandmother had already given him a red envelope when they met on New Year's Eve.

Song Lian smiled: "Take it, that's the New Year's money, and this is the red envelope."

Li An smiled bitterly: "This"

Before she knew it, grandma had already grabbed Li An's hand, then leaned in and asked loudly, "Can we get married this year?"

The atmosphere at the scene became subtle when this question was asked. Although all the relatives had been joking about this matter in the past two days, no one had asked it so seriously and directly.

"Yes!" Li An responded loudly, "Grandma, just eat well, sleep well, watch TV well, and wait!"

No one expected that Li An would directly agree to his grandmother's words.

Song Lian and Lao Chen also laughed when they heard this. They guessed whether the two people already had a plan, and it seems that they guessed right.

But Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat. She had indeed already thought about holding the wedding this year, and Li An had expressed this attitude to her after she came back this time.

But the two have not sat down to discuss this issue in detail, such as when, what the process is, where to do it, etc.

"Okay, okay! When?" Grandma asked again.

Li An cleared his throat, held his grandmother's hand and replied, "Grandma, listen to me! Chen Xuan and I haven't decided on the specific time yet! She has to go to school after the New Year! We have to wait for her vacation! Grandma, don't worry! I guarantee that you will have wedding candy this year!"

This time, grandma nodded, squeezed Li An's arm hard, and then asked Li An to quickly accept the red envelope.

"Grandma! Can you hold it for me first? Then you can give it to me when Chen Xuan and I get married!"

"I have!" said grandma, taking out a passbook from her pocket.

Seeing this, Song Lian hurried forward and asked her mother to put the passbook away quickly, laughing in her heart at how thoughtful the old lady was.

Lao Chen urged: "Li An, take it quickly. If you don't take this red envelope, none of us can leave today."

Li An looked at Chen Xuan with a helpless smile. Chen Xuan curled her lips and said, "It's not for me."

Although Chen Xuan's voice was not loud, grandma seemed to have heard it and pointed at Chen Xuan with dissatisfaction!
Everyone went down to the underground garage together with laughter.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, three black cars stopped one after another in the parking lot outside Lanzhou Airport.

Li Xuebin, the second son of the Li family, got out of the first car. The weather in Lanzhou was pretty good today.

Lao Li then got out of the second car.

Then Li Yan got out of Li Fu's car.

As soon as Xiaoyan got out of the car, she said excitedly, "Are we picking up Fourth Sister-in-law here?!"

Li Xuebin smiled and lit a cigarette: "It's still early."
