Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 880 140. Comedy Moment
Going to a leaky construction site to eat in the middle of winter?
Which Wolong came up with this idea?

What are you doing?

Of course Li An didn't want to eat in the restaurant. He had been busy all day and was just waiting to have a good meal in the evening.

Wouldn’t it be nice to find a restaurant, sit down and have a comfortable meal?

But seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he didn't want to spoil the fun.

"Then what to eat? I'll order it in advance."

Xu Hongxin: "Don't worry about it, Boss. Everyone wants to eat different things. We can order our own."

Li An curled his lips: "Then I saved money. Do you know where to fill in the address?"

Liang Yudan: "Sister Xu said to fill in the house number."

Li An nodded: "Okay, you guys go ahead and order it. It's almost time to finish. I'll go up and take a look."
-
On the stage, Wang Xiaohu was discussing the issue of unified playing method for section D with Liu Zhaocheng. Liu Zhaocheng was almost unable to stop him. It was really a great conductor who was too dedicated.

"Brother An," Liu Zhaocheng was a little panicked when he saw Li An coming.

Li An came over: "What's going on?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher, I am asking Teacher Liu if we can unify the playing methods of all the parts in the C section. Now some parts play legato first and then spit, some parts play all legato, and some parts play all spit."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaohu was still pointing out on the score.

Ang Lee knew what was going on without even looking.

The melodic lines of the three parts are the same. If each part is played differently, then there must be only one part that is played correctly.

Then the remaining parts are naturally wrong, but this issue is not suitable for in-depth investigation, because in the end, it is definitely the teacher's fault to some extent.

But Ang Lee understands the teachers very well. It is not easy for the teachers to get every child to play the notes and rhythm correctly in a short period of time. It would be useless to pursue the performance method even if the concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic was asked to teach.

But it was pointed out by the child in front of him, which was a bit
Of course Wang Xiaohu did nothing wrong. This only shows that Wang Xiaohu is serious and responsible.

"Don't worry, I'm discussing with the school about adding more classes. The teachers will give everyone a unified explanation of how to play. It's not easy for everyone to play like this."

Wang Xiaohu nodded quickly: "I know, teacher. I just want to talk about this part. The rest doesn't matter because this part is all weak start and needs to be accompanied by movements. It is the most outstanding part of our piece."

Li An: "I understand, I understand. Don't worry, everyone is fine here."

With the teacher's words, Wang Xiaohu finally put his mind at ease and turned to look at Liu Zhaocheng: "Thank you, Teacher Liu."

Liu Zhaocheng smiled and said, "You're welcome, Xiaohu, you're great."

Ang Lee looked at the time again and said, "Everyone has exceeded the task target today. Let's leave it at that." He clapped his hands and the stage fell silent.

"Pick up the garbage under your feet, and remember to zip up the cases of your instruments when you pack them up. After rehearsal tonight, and dinner the day after tomorrow, meet at the cafeteria entrance at the usual time."

"Today's rehearsal is over. Thank you for your hard work."

"Wow—"

The Christmas special rehearsal ended with a burst of clapping sounds.

The children packed up their instruments and the teachers of each section sent the children back to the teaching building.

At the entrance of the concert hall, Wang Xiaohu quickly ran to Xu Li and said "Happy Christmas, Mom", then quickly returned to the team.

On the way back to the classroom, Ang Lee told Wang Xiaohu that performance was important and studying should not be delayed. Wang Xiaohu said he heard it.

"Zhizhi, you too."

Qiao Zhizhi: "Well, thank you for your concern, teacher."

Wang Xiaohu: "Don't worry about her. She ranked eighth in the monthly test that just ended."

Li An smiled and said, "It's ok, Zhizhi, but just be No. 8. Don't put too much pressure on the rest of our band."

Qiao Zhizhi: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely not put too much pressure on someone."

Wang Xiaohu curled his lips: "I have made progress too, okay."

Ang Lee: "From 140 to 138, it's definitely an improvement."

Wang Xiaohu frowned: "Why do I feel like you are scolding me?"

Ha ha ha ha--

Zheng Haitao: "Shh, let's go into the corridor."

The team fell silent again in an instant.

When they arrived at the entrance of Grade 1, Class 4 and Class 5, teachers Wang Xiaohu and Qiao Zhizhi waved and said, "Bye, teacher. Bye, teacher Zheng."

Li An also waved: "Bye, we are going to the Christmas dinner."

Wang Xiaohu: “!”

Every time this happened, Wang Xiaohu felt inexplicably jealous of Che Lin.

But today Wang Xiaohu was really jealous for nothing.

After the teachers gathered at the school gate, a group of young people suggested calling a car, but Li An refused.

"Call her up," Xu Hongxin said, even speaking for Xiaoche. "Boss, give her a call and ask if she has finished her homework."

"That's right," Haitao also echoed, "Let him come when he finishes writing. It's not far, we can just pick him up when we pass by."

Lee An: “No, no.”

Wang Wenyang: "Combine work and rest. Let Cheche take a day off and stop practicing the piano."

Li An waved his hand: "It's not a question of work and rest. We don't know what time we will be there yet. She has to go to school tomorrow. Let her go to bed early. The child is growing."

Zhang Miao: "It feels like my dad back then."

Everyone laughs.

Xu Hongxin sighed: "You are almost as good a teacher as my father."

Li An grinned, "This is a formal day of being a teacher."

Ha ha ha ha--

Xu Hongxin: "We don't know whether the child thinks this way."

Li An: "I think you just owe me some wine."

Xu Hongxin: "Brother Bie, I'm driving today."

Li An: "Oh, by the way, how did you two meet? Xinzi, aren't you going to be able to come tonight?"

Xu Hongxin: "I was about to go to the store in the afternoon when Wen Yang called me and said his car broke down. I was not far from there, so I quickly turned around. As a result, when I arrived, the car had been repaired."

Liang Yudan: "Sorry, brothers, I have to interrupt you for a moment. The takeaway I ordered is still three kilometers away."

Xu Hongxin: "Damn, it's only three kilometers, let's go, who wants to take my car?"

As they spoke, Liang Yudan and Wang Wenyang raised their hands, and Liu Zhaocheng also moved closer to Xu Hongxin.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little subtle.

"Why, will you remember this incident for the rest of your life?" Li An laughed angrily, "I won't open it today."

Xu Li: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly. Zhang Miao and Haitao, we're in one car."

Last time, the three of them experienced Ang Lee driving. When Ang Lee was crossing an intersection, he was so nervous that he stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. That scared the three of them. Although Ang Lee reacted in one second, it was also thanks to his piano playing that he developed the ability to change the pedals, otherwise the consequences that day would have been disastrous.

From then on, Ang Lee remembered that the sustain pedal = the accelerator, and he felt that his driving skills had improved.

Just as Li An was about to open the passenger door, Xu Li called him. He looked up and a car key flew towards him.

"You just need to practice more."

Oh my god, you say I'm a bad driver? Do you know how well I practiced with your car last week? The people behind me praised me as a seasoned driver!
Ang Lee sat in the steering wheel again and put his hands on the steering wheel. His heart was shaken again. Every time this happened, he would feel that a car was better than a house.

What a human being.

Hey.

"Bah ah!"

Outside the car window, Xu Hongxin drove past and honked the horn a few times provocatively.

Then behind him, "Brother, brother, relax."

Li An: "Haitao, you are scared."

Zhang Miao: "Boss, I'm also a coward."

Li An: "Why don't you two fasten your seat belts?"

Amidst laughter and following Xu Hongxin who was driving at high speed, Li Ang carefully drove the car onto the main road.

"Haitao, our second teacher will be in place soon."

Zheng Haitao: "Who is it?"

Li An: "He is not from Rongcheng. Your sister Youyou's friend abroad will probably arrive next week."

Zheng Haitao: "Fuck, a senior schoolmate?"

Li An: "No, no, they are not from the same school, but their school is also very good."

Zheng Haitao: “The pressure is enormous.”

Li An: "If you are not good at it, practice more." Zheng Haitao: "I have to practice, I have to practice. Hey brother, what do you think I can play in music?"

Ang Lee: "Please find a piece from the Romantic period and play it."

Zheng Haitao: "No, I want to play a piece from the Classical period."

Li An: "Then why are you asking me?"

Zheng Haitao: "Isn't this a sign of confusion?"

Ang Lee: "Just listen to me and practice some Chopin and Liszt music. Beethoven and Mozart are all played by old men and are not suitable for young people."

Zheng Haitao: "Is he an old man?"

Li An: "That's not the case. You have to call me sister."

Zheng Haitao: "A female?"

Li An: "What's wrong with the woman?"

Zheng Haitao: "Young?"

Li An: "A little bit older than you."

Zheng Haitao: “No way.”

Zhang Miao suddenly interrupted: "Isn't it a happy thing to have a young female teacher as a colleague?"

Zheng Haitao was suddenly speechless.

Seeing Zheng Haitao remained silent, Zhang Miao said, "You can't be."

Zheng Haitao: "I'm not! I'm normal!"

Zhang Miao: “I’m a little skeptical.”

Li An: “Hahahaha——”

Listening to the conversation between the two people behind her, Xu Li also smiled. She had discovered a long time ago that Haitao was interested in Zhang Miao, but she really didn't expect Zhang Miao to just say this.

Young is so good.

Laughing all the way, when Li An and his three companions arrived, Liu Zhaocheng was standing at the door carrying a large bag, and Liang Yudan and Wang Wenyang were leaning on the window and looking inside.

Li An parked the car and was about to give the car keys to Xu Li. He was sure that Xu Li must have heard it, but she ignored him and went straight to open the door for everyone.

In the night, he stood beside the car for a moment, and finally sighed and put the car keys into his pocket.

He understood Xu Li's intentions, and he thought Xu Li should also understand his attitude. In fact, when Xu Li gave him the car for a week last time, the other party had clearly hinted that he would drive the car, but he asked Wang Xiaohu to take the car keys back.

Now that the car keys were back in his hands, anything he said would seem like he was ungrateful.

Besides, he does have a need right now, so just consider it as him taking advantage of me, his younger brother, temporarily.

"Wow."

It is like walking into a dream space. As soon as people enter the door, they are attracted by the black and white relief on the wall.

“Is this the piano classroom?”

"Is it too late for me to learn piano now?"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ang Lee was very satisfied.

"Boss, is this the front desk?"

"The receptionist is over there." Li An was just about to show everyone around when his cell phone rang in his pocket. "Sister Xu, show everyone around. I'll take a call."

"Hey."

Teacher Xiaomi on the other end of the phone seemed very anxious, "Please help me find out about the Dazhu Suona and Nanxi Hahao."

Ang Lee: "Slow down a little bit, suona or something."

Chen Xuan: "Dazhu Suona and Nanxi Hahao."

Li An: "Which stream?"

Chen Xuan: "Forget it, I'll send it to you later. Please ask for me. These are traditional folk instruments from the southwest region. It would be best if we can find video materials. Professor Mueller is very interested in these two instruments, but our school doesn't have any such materials."

Li An: "Okay, okay, just send it to me. Are you in a hurry? If you are, I will go to the teacher tomorrow. The teacher's wife knows about this. If you are not in a hurry, I will go the day after tomorrow. It happens to be Ji Yang's performance."

Chen Xuan: "Don't worry. Please remember to ask for me based on your time. It has little to do with my thesis at the moment."

Li An: "Okay, you didn't send me what I had for lunch."

Chen Xuan: "I was revising my paper at noon and had no time to eat. I just had some bread and will celebrate at the professor's house in the evening."

Li An: "I can hear that your place is quite lively. Relax at night."

Chen Xuan: "I can't take care of it. After dinner I have to go back to work on my thesis. Have you contacted that teacher Mu?"

Ang Lee: "We have made contact, it went smoothly, and he is a nice person."

Chen Xuan: "That's good. You didn't send me dinner either."

Li An: "I came straight to Shu Ren from the Art Examination Department this afternoon. I didn't have time to eat. If you want to come to the store, we just got here. We can just order takeout and eat here."

Chen Xuan: "Okay, then go ahead and say hello to everyone for me."

Li An: "Wait."

Li An glanced at the direction of the second floor and then walked out of the door. "Just now, Sister Xu gave me the car keys again. I thought it would be fine. There is no point in pushing it back and forth. She doesn't need a car and it's a good intention. What do you think?"

Chen Xuan: "Well, then you should be careful, add more gas frequently, and drive carefully, don't let Sister Xu scratch your car."

Li An: "That's for sure. I'm driving very well now."

Chen Xuan: "Come on, Yudan was almost scared to death that day. No matter what, please be careful."

Li An: "Well, let's not talk about that. Bring something from the professor tonight. Don't go empty-handed."

Chen Xuan: "Xiao Ye and I are preparing to go out. Bye, you are absolutely not allowed to drive after drinking."

Li An: "Put your heart in your stomach quickly, ah, bye."

After hanging up the phone with Chen Xuan, Li An felt indescribably relieved.

At this time, a takeaway boy rode his bike to the door next door and looked around. Li An waved his hand: "Here, here."

The young man hurriedly took out the food and walked over carefully, "I'm really sorry, it was a bit bumpy on the road and I spilled some soup, just a little bit."

Li An waved his hand and took it. "It's okay, it's okay. Thank you for your hard work. Please be careful when riding your bike in cold weather."

The young man put his hands together and bowed eleven times: "Thank you, thank you."

After watching the young man leave, Li An turned and walked in.

Everyone has come down from the second floor.

Haitao came up and begged, "Brother, I like the second to last practice room so much. Can you make it my permanent practice room? I'd even be willing to cut the tuition fee in half."

Li An looked around and said, "You testify. This is what he said. I agree."

Haitao: "Hey, hey! I just said that! I don't want the piano room anymore."

Everyone: “Hahahahahaha!”

Li An raised his hand: "Who ordered this crayfish?"

Haitao raised his hands in grievance.
-
The crowd spread out some paper and placed all the opened takeouts in the middle. Then a circle of people sat on the ground around the food.

"Boss, say a few words."

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and start eating."

As he spoke, Li An was the first to pick up the chopsticks.

Amid laughter, the group started moving.

During the meal, Liu Zhaocheng asked Li An, "Brother An, is this considered the renovation complete?"

Lee Ang: "It's basically finished. All that's left is to fill it in."

Liang Yudan: "I can't smell anything in the classroom."

Wang Wenyang: "It's all glass. You'd be damned if you can smell it."

When it comes to this issue, Ang Lee feels his flesh throbbing with pain, but fortunately it's all worth it.

From talking about decoration to rehearsals and then to performances, an hour passed in a flash.

Li An was concentrating on peeling crayfish. Zhang Miao said, "Boss, your phone is on."

Li An looked down and his vision seemed to go dark. He quickly took off his gloves and picked up the phone at his feet.

Everyone fell silent upon seeing this.

How could he forget the car? !
"Hey Linlin."

On the phone, "Teacher, how long will it take you to come back? I'll heat up the food in advance."

Ang Lee: "."

Didn't you tell Linlin today that we should each take care of it in the evening?
Everyone: "."

This is what a "father" should be.
