Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 859 119. The "liar" who took the blame

After dinner, Li An told Xiao Che to practice the piano without worry, and he went downstairs to call Xiao Bei's mother.

The two adults chatted for about half an hour.

Finally, Li An said, "Listen to me, just tell Xiao Bei what I say."

"Well, why should we be polite? Understand, understand."

"I understand. Don't worry, Xiaobei will be fine."

"All right."

After returning home, Ang Lee called his family again. After that, he video-called Chen Xuan and listened to a flute practice session.

When Xiaoche came out of the study, Li An asked Xiaoche to check his cell phone.

You don’t know until you see the car. When you see it, you will scream with excitement!
"teacher!!"

I still have to tell the teacher!

"Xiaobei is really going to come to class next week!"

Half an hour ago, Xiaobei sent a message: Linlin! See you at the teacher's house next Saturday!

Li Anle: "Yes, I told you that Xiaobei is fine."

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Come on, you have completed your piano practice today. Now I can tell you what happened."

Xiaoche hurriedly ran to pour a cup of tea for the teacher, then sat down obediently opposite the sofa.

"Actually, it was me who didn't allow Xiaobei to come to class."

Xiaoche was stunned. What was going on?

"At that time, Xiaobei's mother and I agreed that Xiaobei would come to class after the midterm exam."

"But after knowing Xiaobei's grades, I hesitated for a long time and finally didn't let her come."

Xiao Che was puzzled: "Why? Xiao Bei did so well in the exam."

Li An: "Have you ever thought about why Xiaobei did so well in the exam?"

Xiaoche: "Xiaobei, work hard!"

Li An: "Didn't Xiaobei work hard before?"

Xiaoche: “Try hard.”

Lee Ang: "Then why are you working harder all of a sudden?"

moment.

Xiaoche: "Because Xiaobei wants to take piano lessons."

Li An: "Linlin, if Xiaobei really doesn't have time for piano lessons one day, what will she do? Should she stop studying?"

Xiaoche: "No, teacher! I believe Xiaobei will study hard even if he doesn't have piano lessons."

Li An: "If Xiaobei hadn't told you in the letter that she deliberately came home late after school just to make her mother anxious, would you have believed that this was what Xiaobei did?"

Xiaoche was speechless and then shook his head.

Li An: "I know, even you may think I am going too far. Xiaobei did so well in the exam, so why don't you let him come to class?"

"At this moment, you are still thinking that if I had let Xiaobei come to class, so many things wouldn't have happened later. You think it was my failure to keep my promise that led to Xiaobei's subsequent actions."

"Is it right?"

The car was silent.

Li An smiled again: "Then I will take it as your consent."

The car lowered its head.

Another moment.

"Linlin, in your eyes, has Xiaobei always been a particularly docile and obedient child? Do you think there is no child more well-behaved than Xiaobei?"

Xiaoche looked up and nodded.

Li An: "I agree with you. Do you know how Xiaobei started learning piano? Did she tell you about it?"

Xiaoche: "Teacher, I don't know."

Li An: "Xiao Bei has been very introverted since he was young. He doesn't like to go out and play, and he doesn't like to talk to people. Did you know this?"

Xiaoche shook his head in surprise.

Li An: "Then you must not know that Xiaobei saw a psychiatrist when he was a child."

Car: “.”

Li An: "Xiao Bei saw piano on TV one day and wanted to learn it. Xiao Bei's mother was very happy and enrolled her in a class. You must have seen Xiao Bei when she was very young."

Car: "Yeah."

Li An: "Next time, ask Liu Fengrui and Wang Xiaohu whether Xiaobei was like that when they first met him."

After a pause, he said, "Xiao Bei is a slow learner, so I won't compare you with her. I'll compare you with Marco. What Marco can learn in one lesson, Xiao Bei needs three lessons. You have also experienced a lot in piano. Tell me if Zhao Mengtian played better than all the other contestants combined that night."

Xiaoche: “Yes, teacher.”

Li An: "Some things you just need to know yourself. Learning music requires real talent. Don't listen to me when I say that your brothers and sisters who took the art exams didn't work hard enough and that they haven't reached the stage of competing with talent yet."

"You should have the most profound experience. The teacher admits that you work hard, but if Xiaobei is given the same hard work, how far do you think she can play now?"

Car: "Yeah."

Ang Lee: "Remember, talent begins to take effect from the moment you sit down at the piano."

"A talented child will gain more joy from music, receive more praise and compliments, and receive more applause."

"But there are very few children like Xiaobei, who have no talent at all. To be honest, Xiaobei is not the most talented piano player I have ever taught."

"In fact, I have no talent at all."

Xiao Che was stunned. Every word the teacher said was like a nail that hammered into her body.

She really couldn't accept that such a judgment came from her teacher.

"teacher."

It felt like a flame was ignited in Xiaoche's heart!
Even if it is the truth, does it have to be said like this? Xiaobei is just not very talented. She likes piano very much and loves piano very much!

Seeing that Xiaoche was getting anxious, Li An was not anxious but smiled and took a sip of tea, "Are you angry? Do you want to stand up for your good friend and sister?"

If there was another person sitting in front of the car at this moment, she would not tolerate it for a second.

But facing the teacher, she could do nothing.

"I guess you're going to explode. You never thought a teacher would be like this, right?"

The car continued in silence.

"Linlin, when we look at a problem, we can't always just stay on the surface. The conclusions drawn from the surface often contain huge errors."

"Especially when dealing with those closest to us, we must maintain an objective attitude, otherwise we will ignore many problems."

"Xiao Bei is your good friend, your best friend, but have you really seen her shining point?"

The car was startled again.

"I remember you said that you were afraid of art class when you were a kid, right?"

The car nodded.

"I remember you said you like painting, too."

The car nodded.

“If you like to draw, why are you afraid of art class?”

Xiaoche finally spoke: "Because I can't draw well."

Li An laughed: "If you can't draw well, then you can't draw well. Are you afraid that others will laugh at you? Are you worried that the art teacher will say that your drawing is not good?"

The car nodded.

Li An put away his smile and said, "So do you know what Xiao Bei's greatest shining point is?"

The car suddenly flashed before her eyes, and she seemed to understand.

"Linlin, it's hard for most people to persist in doing something they are not good at, especially for a child."

"Your grades in primary school were not good, but you insisted on going to school because you had the concept of going to school, your father forced you to go to school, and all the children around you were going to school."

"But no one forced you to learn piano."

"Xiao Bei knows that she is not good at playing the piano, but she has persisted for four years. She is so serious every moment when she sits in front of the piano."

"And how much applause and praise has she received in these four years."

"You are playing the sound, she is playing the piano, the teacher has no intention of making a comparison." "But the fact is that in the world of music, you have the sky, and she has only a few keys."

"But there are only a few small keys, and she would smile every time she could play a complete measure."

"Linlin, you will never experience the satisfaction behind that smile."

"Would you feel genuinely happy right now if you could sight-read two bars of music?"

The car sighed slightly.

"In my eyes, Xiaobei's love for piano is even purer than yours. You love piano, and I can also say that you love music."

"What Xiaobei likes is to sit in front of the piano and play a note. As long as the note is played, she will be happy."

"That's why she was able to persist for four years. It had nothing to do with my appearance. I believe that even if she was still studying with her previous teacher, she would have persisted until today."

"Because during these four years, the piano has become her spiritual sustenance."

Xiaoche opened his mouth, then gently closed it again.

"Xiaobei started to be willing to interact with the outside world, go out, and communicate with others after she started to play the piano. The piano means more to her than just a musical instrument."

"Xiao Bei can perceive the world through the piano. Otherwise, how could she play Fantasia so well that night that all of us could not help but be moved to tears?"

"She was so serious, she put so much emotion into the piano itself, she had so much to say to the piano."

"So in order to continue playing the piano, she was able to burst out with amazing learning potential. What is the experiment? What does it mean to be in the top 30 of the grade?"

"Here we have to talk about Xiaobei's talent for study. Can you say it's unfair?"

"Ke Linlin, think about it, if one day Xiaobei can no longer continue to learn piano, what will happen to her?"

Xiao Che: "Teacher, I understand what you mean, but I want to say that even if Xiao Bei doesn't want to learn the piano, she can still practice at home."

Li An: "How do you know that she hasn't practiced at home this semester? Or, why do you think Xiaobei, who can get into the top 30 in the experimental department, doesn't want to continue to improve in piano?"

After a pause, he said, "Then I'll try another way."

"If Xiaobei's mother tells Xiaobei that you can't learn piano anymore, what do you think Xiaobei's reaction will be?"

Xiaoche shook her head. She didn’t dare to think about it.

a long time.

Xiaoche stood up and bowed, "I'm sorry, teacher, I misunderstood you."

"What's this for? Sit down." Li An put down the teacup and waved his hand, "Sit down, sit down. I'm just telling you something. Otherwise, you won't understand."

Xiaoche sat down: "Teacher, don't you want Xiaobei to rely on learning piano as his only hope?"

Li An: "Xiao Bei knows that her playing is slow and not pleasant enough, but she has never given up the idea of ​​improving!
Xiao Che: "So not being able to come to class means Xiao Bei can't make any progress, that's why she's been like this for a while."

Li An: "That's right, but we don't advocate morbid love. Xiaobei is still young."

Ahem, "You are still young, you are all still young, your personalities have not yet been fully developed. Xiaobei is reacting so strongly now. If you continue to let her go on like this without any restrictions or guidance, what will happen in the future?"

"Her upper limit is already determined. Maybe she will understand this when she grows up. But in the process, we need to gradually guide her onto the right path."

"This is just the beginning. In fact, her mother and I have agreed to let her come to class next week. We don't expect to change Xiaobei's mentality in one go. We know that this is impossible. Let's take it slowly. I know next time that this method won't work."

a long time.

Xiaoche: "Teacher, is Xiaobei's upper limit really determined?"

Facing the child's clear gaze, Ang Lee didn't know how to emphasize this issue again.

Xiaoche: "Teacher, is the upper limit you are talking about Xiaobei's upper limit? If the reference person is not Xiaobei, can you tell me where the specific upper limit is?"

Another long time.

Lee Ang: “Is this question important to you?”

Car: "Yeah."

Li An: "Then let me tell you, without referring to anyone else, I'm talking about Xiao Bei, Article 299 of 16."

The car remembered.

"Teacher, if Xiaobei can play this piece, will she have a new upper limit?"

Ang Lee was stumped by the question, because in his opinion it would be very difficult for Xiaobei to master this piece of music.

But he couldn't bear to tell Xiaoche this cruel fact.

"Maybe." Li An decided to leave this question to time. He thought that the two children would understand when they grew up.

Xiaoche suddenly became excited: "Teacher! Maybe there is still a possibility."

Looking at Xiaoche's happy expression, Li An seemed to be infected, and couldn't help but have some unrealistic thoughts in his mind.

Maybe it's true.

"Yes, maybe there is still a possibility."

Xiaoche made her decision, but she didn't want to tell the teacher about her decision for the time being.

"Teacher, I need to say something to Xiaobei next."

"You are the only one who is smart."

Then the teacher and student discussed for a while and finally came up with a plan.

"The rest will come slowly. You will tell her later that the piano is there and will never leave her. There will always be a small bench in piano classroom No. 4 that belongs to her."

"Belongs to Xiaobei." Xiaoche grinned.

Li An: "Haha, you are happy too."

Car: "Yeah!"

Li An joked: "Just now he looked like he was going to eat someone."

Xiao Che said coquettishly: "I'm sorry, teacher, please don't be angry with a child!"

Li An: "Stop, I just said you are still young, but I didn't say you are still a child. How can you be like a child?"

Car: ""

Li An: "Okay, let's stop talking about this topic today. You can chat with Xiao Bei later, but don't be too late."

Xiaoche: "Yes! Don't worry, teacher."

Li An: "Drink the milk, wash up and go to bed."

The car stood up. Li An saw that the car was not moving. "Any other questions?"

After a moment, "Teacher, how did you make sure that Xiaobei is okay?"

Li Anxin laughed at how he could still remember what he said at the beginning after driving the car around in a circle.

"Xiao Bei is my student, of course I know she is fine."

"Hmm." Xiaoche touched his chin, then grinned and turned and ran away.

little things.

Looking at Xiaoche's cheerful back, Li An leaned back on the sofa and let out a sigh.

Xiaobei.

Hey.

He really didn't expect Xiaobei to react so strongly.

Perhaps just as he analyzed, the child has a fanatical obsession with the piano.

As for Xiaobei's upper limit, based on his experience, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with his judgment. Czerny 299 is the limit for Xiaobei.

Of course, he expected a miracle more than anyone else.

Time will do the rest.

Fortunately, Xiaobei still has quite some time left.

Ba Wanyi: I've finished my work, is everything going well for you?

Then he received a reply.

Xiaobei’s mother: Everything went smoothly. I was just about to send you a message. Thank you, Teacher Li.

Ba Wanyi: You’re welcome. You can go to bed early.

Putting down his phone, Li An stood up to refill his cup of tea.

In this matter, no one is more suitable to take the blame than him.

It's just that a certain little thing is becoming increasingly difficult to deceive.
