Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 891 151. One-year agreement: a terrifying bet

With Che Lin's joining, the efficiency of the kitchen has improved visibly.

Part of the reason is that the car can work, and part of the reason is that with the arrival of the car, Wang Xiaohu works harder.

Soon four dishes and a soup were served.

Two teachers and three children, five people had lunch together.

It was the first time for Lao Tang to eat in such an atmosphere. Whether it was a conversation between Ang Lee and a child or a conversation between several children, he found it very interesting.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that what Li Ang and his four students presented to him was not a simple student relationship, nor a dogmatic master-disciple atmosphere, but a family atmosphere.

He could sense the relaxation of several of the kids here.

Recalling when he was a child and went to his teacher's house for classes, even if the teacher asked him to stay at home for dinner, he didn't dare to breathe deeply while eating.

And these children even breathe with a sense of laughter.

He really liked this atmosphere.

Ultimately, it was Ang Lee who provided a soil for these children, just like Ang Lee's teaching.

It’s great. Looking at the children’s happy smiles, Lao Tang felt that he was healed again.

Maybe there really is some kind of magic in Ang Lee. I have been healed twice in just one morning.

The first time was Ang Lee’s affirmation, and the second time was the children’s smiles at this moment.

Lao Tang put his chopsticks aside after finishing a bowl of rice. Xiao Che stood up and wanted to serve Lao Tang some rice.

"Thank you, Che Lin. I'm full. You guys eat. I'll watch you eat."

As soon as Lao Tang finished speaking, Wang Xiaohu yelled at him to eat more.

Marco just noticed: "Teacher Tang, you have the least amount of rice."

Lao Tang: "Huh? You noticed all this."

Marco: "Hey, Mr. Tang, please eat some more."

Wang Xiaohu: "Marco's code name is Holmes Horse."

"That's great," Lao Tang looked at Wang Xiaohu again, "What's your code name?"

Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes and said, "If you want another bowl of rice, I will answer you."

Li An: "Okay, Teacher Tang is saving her stomach for dinner tonight, what are you doing? Linlin, sit down and eat."

Xiao Che sat down after hearing the sound, but Lao Tang became interested.

Lao Tang's appetite has indeed been poor these past two days. He just picked the smallest bowl of rice on purpose, but now he is hungry again.

"No, I have to eat another bowl."

So Xiaoche stood up again and served some rice to Lao Tang.

"Thank you, that's just right."

Lao Tang took the bowl and looked at Wang Xiaohu again, "You can tell me now."

Wang Xiaohu: "I will tell you after you finish eating."

Li An was wondering if Wang Xiaohu really had a nickname? How come he didn't know it? He thought to himself, "Eat the soup quickly."

After finishing the meal, Lao Tang thought that he might know, but Wang Xiaohu became uncomfortable.

Lao Tang suddenly felt cheated, "I have finished my meal, you can't do this."

Xiaoche and Marco laughed at the same time.

Lao Tang urged: "Hurry, hurry, hurry."

Wang Xiaohu hesitated for a moment, "I don't have a code name."

Lao Tang glared: "Wang Xiaohu, you lied to me."

Xiaoche and Marco laughed even harder, which made Ang Lee even more puzzled. Why did they laugh like that?
Wang Xiaohu said frankly: "I didn't lie to you. You asked me what my code name was, and I said I would answer your question if you ate a bowl of rice."

Li An: “～”

Lao Tang: "Yes, go ahead."

Wang Xiaohu: "I told you, I don't have a code name."

Xiaoche and Ma Ke were about to die of laughter.

Old Tang, who realized it later, looked at Li An and smiled helplessly. He was being fooled.
Lao Tang gave a thumbs up: "Beautiful."

Ma Ke laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe: "Fortunately, Liu is not here."

Li An raised his eyebrows: "What, there are still victims?"

During the summer camp, when snacks were extremely scarce, Wang Xiaohu used the same trick to trick Liu Fengrui into taking out a whole bag of potato chips.

Xiao Liu wanted Tang Xiaoxing's QQ number. It happened that Wang Xiaohu was the captain of Group 5. In fact, Wang Xiaohu didn't know Tang Xiaoxing's QQ number at all at that time.

Lao Tang: “～”

Li An: “～”

The children were laughing and talking non-stop, and Lao Tang didn't know what to say. Perhaps this is the happiness that is exclusive to their age.

But seeing the children laughing, he was really happy, and he couldn't help but laugh along with them, without even noticing it.

At this time, "No, wait a minute, Wang Xiaohu, what you are doing is wrong. These are Liu Fengrui's own snacks. He can take them out and share them with whomever he wants. If he doesn't want to, it's his freedom. What are you doing?"

Li An's serious tone suddenly made the atmosphere at the dinner table cold.

Lao Tang was confused, what was going on? He tried to smooth things over: "Hey, don't, don't, it's all in the past."

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher, please listen to my explanation."

Marco: "Here's what happened, teacher. We didn't explain it clearly just now. We agreed that afternoon that everyone should take out their last snacks and eat together in the evening. Liu Fengrui said he wanted that bag of potato chips."

"At night, each of us took out the stock, but Liu didn't."

"Later we found out that he was worried that we would finish all the snacks at once and have nothing to eat the next day, so he wanted to keep some in stock."

"But we didn't know it at the time. Xiaobei was unhappy at that time."

"Wang Xiaohu was only teasing Liu to liven up the atmosphere, and we did agree on that this afternoon. We also said that at worst we could just take some fruit as snacks from the restaurant the next day after dinner."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Che: "Yes, teacher. Xiao Bei is not unhappy because of a bag of potato chips. It's because we agreed in the afternoon, but Liu didn't take it in the evening. Xiao Bei feels that Liu's behavior made everyone unhappy."

"I see. Then I have wronged Brother Xiaohu." Li An nodded with a smile, then looked at Wang Xiaohu: "I'm sorry."

Lao Tang gave a thumbs up with his real name.

Wang Xiaohu scratched his head: "No, teacher, it was indeed wrong for me to do that."

Li An: "You are indeed wrong. Can't you change the question? You have to use Tang Xiaoxing's QQ number. This is too much."

Xiaoche, Marco: “Hahahaha——”

Lao Tang: "Wait, let me sort it out. Ah Liu is also a friend who studied piano with you. I understand this. Who is Tang Xiaoxing? Is he a classmate of yours who attended the summer camp together? You know Wang Xiaohu, but Ah Liu doesn't know him?"

Li An: "The children all met each other in the summer camp. Wang Xiaohu and Tang Xiaoxing were assigned to the same group and were teammates. Wang Xiaohu is the granddaughter of Mr. Tang Zhongfu."

Old Tang was surprised: "Tang Caiyun?"

All eyes were focused on Old Tang's face at once, and Wang Xiaohu asked hurriedly, "Teacher Tang, you know her too."

know?

Old Tang wanted to meet the legendary girl Tang, but even his teacher, Professor Huang, had never seen her.

I've only heard rumors in the circle that the third generation of the Tang family has produced a genius, but I've never heard of anyone outside of the Beijing circle saying that they've seen this child.

Only sporadic video clips can be found online.

"I don't know her, but I know her," Lao Tang answered Wang Xiaohu's question first, then looked at Li An, "How does that kid play?"

"it is good."

Ang Lee only said one word: good. Apart from good, Ang Lee couldn't find any other more comprehensive words to describe it.

Old Tang nodded in understanding. He knew from Li An's tone that the child must be extraordinary. "Why is she here at the summer camp? I heard that she doesn't participate in any activities or competitions."

Wang Xiaohu and Marco looked at the teacher in surprise. Tang Xiaoxing doesn’t participate in any competitions or activities?
Xiaoche: "Teacher, we have finished eating, can we leave now?"

Li An: "Go ahead."

Wang Xiaohu's attention was drawn back in an instant, and he pulled Marco to put on his clothes.

The three children agreed to go out in the afternoon to buy ingredients for dinner, and to walk around and play at the same time to avoid disturbing Liu and Xiaobei who were attending classes in the afternoon at home.

Li An: "Linlin, don't put it away. We are still eating. Go in and change your clothes."

Xiaoche: "Good teacher."

Li An: "Wang Xiaohu, don't buy things recklessly. And Marco, both of you should listen to Che Lin's instructions."

Marco: “Got it!”

Wang Xiaohu: “Yes, sir!”

five minutes later.

"Goodbye, teacher. Goodbye, Teacher Tang."
-
The three children packed up and left, and the room became much quieter for a while.

Lao Tang sighed: "This is the first time I've seen a class like this at a teacher's home. When I was a kid, I wanted to jump out of the window as soon as the get out of class was over."

Li An: "Then you are happier than me. The classroom I attended when I was a child had security nets on the windows."

Hahahaha.

Seeing Lao Tang pick up the chopsticks again, Li An told Lao Tang not to eat anymore, "Leave some room for yourself."

Lao Tang picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. "I wasn't really hungry. This pepper fried pork is really delicious, but it's a little spicy."

Li Anle: "If it's not spicy, there's no point in eating it. You need to practice a little. If you can't eat spicy food, you won't be able to survive here."

Lao Tang nodded and said, "Your cooking skills are amazing. Come back and teach me how to make this stir-fried pork with peppers. I will cook for myself in the future."

Li An: "I can't cook food as good as Che Lin's. Her father taught her. He is a real Sichuan cuisine chef."

Lao Tang: "Good boy, Che Lin is really good."

Li An: "Of course." Lao Tang: "Hey, does she live here? I don't think she comes here for class."

After listening to Li An's explanation, Lao Tang sighed again: "It's rare to be a teacher as good as you."

After a pause, he said, "But this girl looks like a sensible child."

Lee Ang: “They are all good kids.”

Lao Tang nodded. "Yes, I was saying that Che Lin gives people a very different feeling. I heard from Marco that she can even do musical form analysis."

Lee Ang: “She herself is also interested.”

Lao Tang: "So it is said that good children meet good teachers."

Li Anle: "I can only say that it is fate. Come on."

Lao Tang: "It's not a good idea to smoke like this. The children will be back soon."

Li An: "It's okay, just open the meeting window."

Lao Tang: "No, when I was a kid, every time I entered my teacher's house, I would get high from the smell of cigarettes. Come on, let's go downstairs and take a look. I'll clean up for you when I come back."

Li An: "No, just go to class in the afternoon. Let's go."

The two put on their clothes and left.

Li An usually goes to the kitchen to smoke when he is at home, and he has never smoked in the living room since he moved into the car.
-
"Where is this going?"

"Just get in the car and go."

Ang Lee brought Lao Tang directly to Tianhu Avenue.

As soon as he got off the car, Lao Tang smiled and said, "I came here for a walk last night."

Li An opened the door and Lao Tang entered the hall of Sigang first.

"How is it, Mr. Tang? Please give me your evaluation."

The two of them walked around upstairs and downstairs. After the whole tour, Lao Tang only said two words: "Brave and powerful."

Li An: "The house belongs to Wang Xiaohu, so the initial rent was spent on renovation."

Lao Tang: "Oh my god, all that's left is pure profit."

Li An smiled bitterly: "If you insist on calculating it that way, then it is true."

Lao Tang: "Besides rent, what other major expenses are there?"

Just then Li An's phone rang, "Wait a moment."

"Hey."

Zhang Miao on the other end of the phone didn't quite understand the meaning of the message Li An sent her.

After Li An explained, he hung up the phone and asked Lao Tang: "Can we add two more people tonight?"

Lao Tang: "Sure, it's more lively with more people. Do I know him?"

Li An: "Haitao and a percussion teacher here with me."

Lao Tang: "Doesn't Haitao have something to do tonight?"

Li An smiled: "Let me ask him."

As he said that, Li An called Haitao again.

"Hey, brother." Haitao on the other end of the phone looked like he had just woken up.

Li An: "How have you been communicating on WeChat these past two days?"

Upon hearing this, Haitao's voice immediately became much clearer, and he was a little embarrassed: "Why are you asking this suddenly? What's the matter?"

Li An put away his smile and said, "Come to my place for dinner tonight. Lamb chop hotpot."

Hai Tao: "No, brother, my uncle is celebrating his birthday tonight."

Li An: "Forget it, let's do it another day. I've always wanted to invite Zhang Miao to dinner. She's helped me so much. I thought today is the first day of the holiday, and Teacher Shao Chong happened to be here today, so I wanted to ask you two to come together. If you don't come, I can't ask her alone."

Haitao: "Brother, wait a moment!"

moment.

Haitao: "Brother, dear brother, I have sent a message to my uncle, saying that my teacher wants me to do something in the evening."

Lao Tang on the side laughed, it seems that Brother Haitao is quite interested in this Teacher Zhang.

Li An: "Tsk tsk, you say you are a human being."

Hai Tao: "I'm not a human, brother, I'm a beast, what time is it!"

Li An: "Wait a minute, I don't know if Zhang Miao can come, why don't you ask her?"

Hai Tao: "No, brother, I can't do it. Ask, ask, have you called Lao Liu and the others?"

Li An: "I really want to ask her, but I can't make room at home. Let's do it in two days. I'll ask her. If she can come, you can come together. You don't have to come too early. Come at six o'clock. Don't let her buy anything."

Then Li An told Hai Tao that he wanted Zhang Miao to go to Hai City to attend a master class next month. "Got it? Yu Dan and the others are there."

Haitao: "Brother, you don't have to say it. I understand. I told her. In fact, she doesn't even need to say it deliberately. She understands."

Li An: "Well, just do whatever you want."

After hanging up the phone with Haitao, Li An sent another message to Zhang Miao.

As Li An expected, Zhang Miao said he had nothing to do in the evening.

Later, Li An sent a voice message to Zhang Miao: Haitao will be here in the evening, let him pick you up on the way, we will talk more in the evening.

After replying to Zhang Miao, Li An sent a voice message to Haitao: She has time tonight. I told her that you can come too. I asked you to pick her up on the way. It's up to you.
moment.

Haitao: Muah muah muah muah!

Lao Tang laughed: "You still have a matchmaking business?"

Li An put away his phone and said cheerfully: "How about I arrange something for you as well."

"Goodbye," Lao Tang sighed and looked around, "I have only one idea now. I want to train a hundred students right here, right here under my feet."

Li An: “Are you kidding?”

Lao Tang: “No kidding.”

Li An: "Then you really need to think about it."

Lao Tang: "Don't consider it. Being in love will only affect my teaching progress."

Li An stepped forward and patted Lao Tang on the shoulder, "Let's call it a day."

Lao Tang was puzzled, "You don't believe me?"

Li An: "Lao Tang, I'm going to make a bet with you that you will definitely fall in love once within a year."

Lao Tang: “Impossible.”

Li An: "Do you dare to make this bet?"

Lao Tang: "What are you betting on?"

Lee Ang: "If you lose, you have to wear a wig for a month."

Lao Tang: “Fuck.”

Li An: "Don't dare?"

Lao Tang: "What if you lose?"

Lee Ang: "I shaved my head."

Lao Tang: "The recording is proof!"

Just like that, the two people made a bet under the witness of two mobile phone recordings.

Seeing Lao Tang's energy, Li Ang knew that Lao Tang's mood had improved a little, which was very good.

As for whether Lao Tang has a love relationship or not, that is Lao Tang’s own business. Even if Lao Tang is not in a relationship, the bet will be made a year later anyway.

As a boss, it shouldn't be a big problem if he cheats a little.

On the way home, Li An received a call from Mu Xin.

"Hello, Mr. Mu."

"Is Ange available now?"

"It's convenient for you to say."

"My ticket has been booked. It will arrive at Chengdu Station at 1:30 p.m. the day after tomorrow. If it's convenient, please send me the address first. I want to send it by express today."

"I'll send it to you in a bit. I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow at noon. Just come and don't worry."

"Hey, thank you, brother An."

"No thanks, just take a good rest these two days."

"Yeah, An Ge, you are busy. I have nothing else to do."

Li An put down the phone, and Lao Tang asked, "What is this?"

"I haven't had time to tell you yet. This is another colleague of ours." Li An replied, "She's also from outside the province. With her here, we're all here."

Lao Tang: “Female teacher.”

Li Anle: "You can hear all this, it's not easy."

Lao Tang: "No, I just want to say that this female teacher has a good personality and is straightforward."

Li An: “Indeed.”

Lao Tang: "When I was doing live broadcasts, my senior sister could make me mad. I was so busy, but she didn't call me when she had something to do. She would ask on WeChat first, "Are you there, junior brother?"

Li An was deeply touched and smiled, "Maybe it's a kind of courtesy?"

Lao Tang was angry: "I was polite to her, pure ******"

In the next five minutes, Lao Tang fired at more than half of his former colleagues.

Ang Lee rarely uses such sinister words.
