Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 761 20. A new family of four

"Slow down, Xiao Chen, don't miss the mark."

"Hey uncle, please slow down."

Li An, who was following the two of them, didn't notice any changes at the door of the unit. An's mother would scan it the next day.

Halfway up the second floor, he found that the second floor was much brighter than before.

When I looked up, I saw a new light bulb plugged into the door.
-

As soon as An Ma, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the noise in the corridor, she immediately turned off the fire and quickly went to the living room to look around. She tucked the rag on the dining table into her apron, and then hurriedly ran to the door.

Wiping both hands on the apron, he reached out to hold the door handle, paused for a moment, and finally turned the door handle to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a fair and pretty girl in the bright corridor, helping Lao Li to go upstairs.

She fell in love with her careful movements, figure, and appearance at first glance.

Then there was a little panic, and then the girl seemed to be even more panicked than she was.

Just like that, An's mother felt that he and Li An's father were not prepared enough, "Come on, Xiao Chen, come in quickly."

Li An turned to look at Lao Li again, "Dad, this is Chen Xuan, her nickname is Xiaomi, my girlfriend, isn't she pretty?"

"It's not hard work, it's just some home-cooked food." An's mother didn't waste any more time. When Chen Xuan changed her slippers, she turned and returned to the kitchen.

"Hello, aunt!"

"Ah?" Chen Xuan didn't react.

Lao Li nodded: "It looks good."

Li An walked to the dining table, lowered his head to observe the table, and then touched it. The workmanship was really good. "My father said about changing a dining table years ago. I still thought it was not easy. Lao Li was finally willing to change a dining table and wait for his son to celebrate the New Year. But when I came back during the Chinese New Year, they didn’t buy anything for me.”

"As soon as I said you were coming, my dear, the new table was immediately arranged, and I'll take advantage of you."

The atmosphere in the living room didn't know what happened for a while. After listening to his son's words, Lao Li wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. He could only smile, sigh and grin, and said to Chen Xuan, "I won't listen to him."

Above the TV is an air conditioner, which squeaks and blows cold air.

Chen Xuan was embarrassed to sit down. It was just an easy sofa to sit on. If he wanted to sit on another sofa, he would have to go around the dining table. "Uncle, please sit down first. I want to go to the bathroom after Li An finishes washing his hands."

Chen Xuan obediently sat down and changed her shoes, "It's okay, auntie."

"My mother's spicy haggis is the specialty of our unit." Li An followed behind, picked up the cigarettes and wine at the door and entered the house.

In the corner next to the sofa is a piano covered with blue plaid cloth.

In other words, every corner of the room was deeply attracted to her. She felt that it was as spacious as Li An said.

Chen Xuan waved her hands hurriedly: "It's not small at all."

Chen Xuan couldn't let go of An's father's arm. Looking at the amiable An's mother in front of her, she could only express her emotions in a loud voice, "Auntie, I'm not tired!"

Lao Li almost became anxious and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about, you bastard?"

Lao Li continued to grin and took a long step forward, "Yes, yes."

Li An happily returned to Chen Xuan, put his arm around Chen Xuan's shoulders, and introduced him formally, "My father, Comrade Li, is an upright man and lives a simple life. He is a glorious old mine comrade who has worked hard all his life. Always working hard and rushing to the front is the typical example in the story of caring about everyone and not caring about the family. It is my role model."

"Hurry up!" An Ma didn't even notice the boxes stacked at the door. She wanted to pull Chen Xuan's arm, but then she remembered that her working hands hadn't had time to wash. The moment she raised her arms and hesitated, Chen Xuan He let go of Lao Li's arm, stretched out his hands to hold her raised hand, "You and uncle are the ones who have worked hard!"

"Hey." An's mother couldn't help but move forward after hearing the "Hello, auntie." "Hello, hello, stop helping your uncle, he must be exhausted from the journey."

"Dad, why don't you buy me a new pair of slippers?" Li An asked.

"I couldn't be more honest. Sometimes I say she is stupid, but when it comes to flute playing, she has a very personal style and is very motivated professionally. We will have the opportunity to listen to Chen Xuan's concerts together in the future."

Lao Li sighed, the girl must have been too embarrassed to sit down before saying she wanted to go to the bathroom. He immediately felt embarrassed for his son, "The house is really small."

Everything in front of me is reflected on the yellowed wall, so tightly organized, like a faded old photo, yet so warm and fresh.

Li An put down the wine: "Mom, go stir-fry quickly, we are all very hungry."

"Hey." An's mother responded, but her eyes seemed to be growing on Chen Xuan's body. The smile on her face was squeezed to the corners of her eyes, and she wiped her hands on the apron again, "Xiao Chen, please sit in the room first. There is water and drinks, both hot and cold, you can drink whatever you want, and if there is another dish, we will start the meal."

The color of this TV should be the brightest in the living room. Chen Xuan knew that Li An bought it for his family during the New Year.

Old Li helped Chen Xuan sit on the sofa that was not blocked by the dining table, "Hurry and put your bag down."

Lao Li: "The pair you bought two years ago are not the same as the new ones? You have only worn them a few times."
-

When she walked into Li An's living room for the first time, Chen Xuan was not attracted by the rows of faded certificates on the wall, nor the crystal trophies on the wall shelf, nor even the sumptuous table of meals in the middle of the living room. .

Chen Xuan was so embarrassed.

An's mother had already prepared a new pair of pink slippers at the door. There was a small wooden bench next to the slippers. "Sit down quickly and change your shoes and rest." She asked Lao Li to walk in quickly, "Don't pile up there and get in the way."

"Thank you, auntie!" Chen Xuan smiled sweetly again, "Thank you for your hard work, auntie!"

"Yeah, where is it?" At this time, Li An walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hands, "Who can put such a big table in the living room?" Then he looked at Chen Xuan with a playful smile and said, "Follow me My father and mother have lived by my side for eighteen years, and today I am taking advantage of you."

"Ah" Chen Xuan almost cried.

Then he put his nose towards the room and inhaled, "It smells so good."

He sighed in his heart, it was because he had been negligent and was busy setting up the new dining table in the afternoon. He thought about having dinner as soon as he walked in, but he didn't think about having to sit on the sofa for a while before starting dinner. But the living room is only that big, and a piano is just It occupies a small half of the living room.

Chen Xuan laughed and let An's mother lead her through the door. In front of her was a small entrance hall, a bit like her grandma's old house. Although the place was not spacious, it was neat and clean. There was also a small entrance hall hanging on the hook of the entrance door. crutch.

Lao Li has never been embarrassed so many times in his life, and he was very embarrassed at this moment.

Opposite the sofa is a TV table, and on the TV table is a brand new LCD TV.

Lao Li nodded again: "You have to listen."

Chen Xuan finally found a chance to interrupt: "Uncle, don't listen to him, I'm still far behind."

Lao Li: "What you play is good. Li An sent us a video of you playing, and I just listened to that tune."

Chen Xuan: "Thank you, uncle!"

Li An then let go of Chen Xuan's shoulders, "Okay, we all know each other, so don't be polite, Comrade Li, Teacher Chen."

Chen Xuan heard the sound and quickly stepped forward to help Lao Li sit on the nearest sofa, "Uncle, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Go." Lao Li stretched his hand towards the corridor.

Putting down her bag, Chen Xuan went to the bathroom.

While Chen Xuan was going to the bathroom, Lao Li quietly asked Li An how much the box of wine cost.

"I bought everything I bought. If Chen Xuan wants anything, don't ask for a while."

Lao Li looked at the cigarettes and wine in front of him and sighed. Either he was unhappy, or the money spent made him feel bad. He felt bad for Chen Xuan, why did he buy him such expensive wine.

At this moment, Li An stretched out a red envelope and said, "I'll tell you when the situation is."

Lao Li opened it directly and said, "Yes, I told you not to worry about it."

Li An frowned: "You don't let me control you, and you don't tell me when and how much you will give."

A creaking door sound came from the bathroom, and Li An directly stuffed the red envelope into Lao Li's hand, and Lao Li quickly stuffed the red envelope into his pocket.

As a result, Chen Xuan didn't go back to the living room after washing her hands, but went directly to the kitchen. The father and son looked at each other again, and Lao Li whispered: "What happened to the ring?"

Li An licked his lips and smiled: "I want to marry her."

Lao Li was stunned. At this moment, Chen Xuan returned to the living room with a plate of brightly colored spicy haggis and walked slowly and carefully towards the dining table.

"Li An." Lao Li called.

Li An stepped forward to help, but Chen Xuan refused: "It's okay, it's okay."

An's mother came out of the kitchen, took off her apron and quickly went back to the bedroom to change clothes, and then went to the mirror to tie her hair.

The dishes are gathered, the people are gathered, and dinner is served.

Before dinner, Chen Xuan took a photo.

In the photo, there are fish, shrimp, crabs, oysters, beef, mutton, and green vegetables, but there is no coriander.

"Welcome Chen Xuan to our home."

"Thank you uncle and aunt for the hospitality."

"Why, you don't welcome me back?"

"Who cares if you come back or not."

The air conditioner overhead creaked amidst laughter.

cheers.
-

"Xiao Chen, eat quickly and stop dialing."

"It's okay, Auntie, you'll be fine soon."

Chen Xuan handed the first cooked crab to An Ma with both hands, and sent the second cooked crab to Lao Li.

The old couple was carrying a full crab shell, looking at the bright white crab meat and the bright orange crab roe. The first crab they ate was that their son’s girlfriend came all the way to pick it up for them at home. They were deeply moved. It doesn't work, but there is always something that disappoints the scenery.

Ang Lee: "Why don't you dial one for me?"

Chen Xuan: "I'll dial it for you."

Lao Li: "If you don't dial it for him, you can eat it yourself."

Chen Xuan chuckled: "Then listen to uncle, uncle and auntie, you guys should eat quickly, you can eat everything in the shell."

Ma An used her chopsticks to pick out a piece of crab meat and put it into her mouth, "It's so delicious."

"Otherwise, how can we call it seafood?" Lao Li also took a bite. It was indeed delicious. "Chen Xuan, do you often eat these at home?"

Chen Xuan: "It's not bad. I eat everything. The food I eat feels similar to what I eat here."

An Ma: "The food we eat here is heavy, not as light as yours."

Chen Xuan: "My dad is also a heavy cook. He likes soy sauce beef and so on, but it's not as delicious as what my aunt cooks."

An's mother was very happy: "If it tastes good, eat more."

Lao Li: "Eat as much as you can, as long as you are full. The key point is that it is too late today. If you eat too much, you will not feel comfortable sleeping at night."

An's mother glared: "Let Xiao Chen eat."

He turned to Chen Xuan and smiled gently, "We won't eat when we are full. Let's go out for a good meal tomorrow night."

"Uncle and aunt, we don't want to go out to eat." Chen Xuan looked at the food on the table and it would be impossible to finish it today, at least half of it would be left. "I want to continue eating tomorrow, I want to finish it all."

An Ma: "Okay, we can eat whatever you want."

Lao Li: "You don't leave until the 1st. If you don't go out tomorrow, we can go out to eat the day after tomorrow. It doesn't matter."

An’s mother: “That’s right.”

Li An: "Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow, okay? Don't just talk about it and can't use chopsticks. You really want me to eat it alone."

An Ma: "Eat, eat, eat everything."

After saying that, he gave Chen Xuan another piece of fish.

"Thank you, Auntie," Chen Xuan raised her hand and picked out another shrimp for An's mother.

Li An served Lao Liman wine: "Come on, Dad."

The two men touched each other and drank it down in one gulp.
-

It is a joy to bring a girlfriend home, but it is an uncomfortable thing to eat too much.

After the meal, Li Anzhen stood up while holding on to the table.

That's weird. He didn't drink much in the two meals from yesterday to today, but he felt light after drinking.

Regarding the rhythm of the meal, Li An didn't know what to say to the old couple. On the phone, he repeatedly emphasized that he should ask them more useful questions so that Chen Xuan could answer.

He didn't know what to say about Chen Xuan. The two old men were illiterate and had never entertained guests at home except for relatives. They didn't know what to ask when they were old people. Just go ahead and talk to them. They said it on the train. .

Some words were rushed out. If they were not rushed to a certain level, they would not be able to achieve the effect of telling Lao Li that Chen Xuan was going abroad. He could only take him with him for three days during this trip.

As a result, the three of us talked about the whole meal.

Compared with the last meal he had when he met Chen Xuan's parents, it completely went beyond his expectations.

But in the end, the three people were not polite at all. This scene was an unexpected gain for Ang Lee.

As for who washes the dishes, An Ma and Chen Xuan ended up in a tie, and Li An was eliminated directly.

After An Ma and Chen Xuan cleaned up the kitchen and returned to the living room, the four of them chatted for a while. Lao Li asked Chen Xuan to rest early. As he spoke, An Ma began to lay the floor for Li An.

"Okay dad."

"Good night, uncle and aunt."

The two washed up and returned to Li An's bedroom, when a sweltering heat came to them.

Chen Xuan hadn't taken a closer look at Li An's bedroom. As soon as she turned on the light, she found a brand new air conditioner hanging on the top of the bed.

Li An pushed the door shut with his backhand. He had already discovered that the air conditioner in the room had been replaced with a new one. He smiled and said, "I'm taking advantage of you again."

"Uncle and aunt are so nice." Chen Xuan didn't know how to express her feelings from when she saw Dad An picking up the car downstairs to this moment. She only had this sentence in her heart, "Uncle and aunt are so nice."

Li An smiled: "You are worth it."

Chen Xuan pouted, then shook her head and sighed. Her uncle and aunt were so kind to her, "Is it cold to sleep on the ground?"

Li An: "Okay, just listen to them tonight. You can sleep. My dad should have something to say to me."

Chen Xuan nodded, stepped forward, hugged Li An's neck and kissed him, "Go quickly, don't let uncle and aunt wait."

Before Li An left the bedroom, he turned on the air conditioner for Chen Xuan, and the cold wind blew quietly.

"Good night Xiaomi, you are great today. I can't sleep but just browse around the house."
