Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 894 154. Conflict breaks out, poor man with no solution

Marco knew that Wang Xiaohu had no intention of showing off, so he omitted part of the conversation between the two on the way back.

Li Anxin smiled and asked her three children to buy groceries, but they ended up causing conflicts.

But who can be blamed for this? Both children’s intentions were correct.

Ang Lee could understand Wang Xiaohu. Not to mention Wang Xiaohu, even if Chen Xuan was present today, she would probably be fired as soon as she heard the boss say thirty-eight dollars for a free fish.

Who is as experienced as Xiaoche?

But it wasn’t Xiaoche’s fault for having experience, and Xiaoche had already foreseen that Wang Xiaohu should stay where he was and not come over.

"Okay, I know what happened. Let's not talk about it for now. Hurry up. Your Aunt Xu, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Zheng will also be here soon. Let's try to get the preparations done before they get here, okay?"

Everyone: "Okay!"

Hahahaha, the kids were amused by Teacher Tang’s raised arm!

Teacher Tang is so funny!

"Teacher, isn't our senior sister coming?" Xiaobei suddenly asked.

Li An: "She has something important to do today."

Li Ang snapped his fingers and the living room fell silent.

"I'll assign the tasks next!"

"Little North Marco."

Xiaobei Marco: “Here!”

Li An: "You two are responsible for cleaning the living room and kitchen. Today is the first time that your teacher is hosting so many guests at home. You must make the floor clean for me."

Xiaobei: “Received!”

Ma Ke: "Teacher, don't worry. I promise you won't see a single hair of 80,000 in a while."

Li An: "Don't! You have to wear a down jacket, even if it costs 80,000 yuan, to get through the winter."

Ha ha ha ha--

"Liu."

Ah Liu: “Teacher!”

Lee Ang: "You deal with the cat hair on the sofa. The roller is stuck to the left-hand drawer under the coffee table."

Ah Liu was unhappy: "It's too unchallenging."

The car smiled.

Li An: "Clean up first, Che Lin, Wang Xiaohu."

The two children said in unison: "Here!"

Li An: "Che Lin washes the vegetables and processes the shrimps, and Wang Xiaohu helps."

Wang Xiaohu was afraid that Che Lin would say no, so he rushed to the kitchen as soon as he got it.

The kids laughed. Seeing this, Xiao Bei whispered to Marco, "Did you notice that Wang Xiaohu seems to be very afraid of Linlin?"

Marco nodded.

Xiao Ma didn’t really think much of it before, but through the three-person trip this afternoon, he discovered that Wang Xiaohu was indeed a little afraid of Che Lin, and it wasn’t the kind of “fear” that a boy feels when he gives way to a girl.

"What about me?" Old Tang thought that he could only watch over the children while they worked. He had originally planned to help Li Ang with the kitchen, but then he thought it would be better for him not to go in and get in the way, as he was definitely not as agile as Lin.

"Lao Tang, you come." Li An asked the children to start working quickly, and then he took Lao Tang to the dining table. "This table can be extended, but it has never been extended. The bottom must be quite dirty. You clean up the table."

Lao Tang: "Ok, how do I pull it out?"

The two of them worked together to pull the table open. As Li An expected, there was a layer of oil stains on the surface of the raised table top, especially in the gaps, which were covered with a lot of cat hair.

Ang Lee:.
When Li An thought about eating at a table like this all the time, he felt uncomfortable. "Old Tang, clean it up."

Lao Tang rolled up his sweater sleeves and said, "Go and get busy."

Li An's next task was to sharpen the knife and then cut the meat.

It's time to show off your piano teacher's knife skills!

For tonight's hot pot, he prepared six pounds of hand-cut beef and mutton.

As long as everyone can eat, there will definitely be enough.

Two children in the kitchen had already started working. One was standing in front of the basin, picking shrimps, while the other was also very smart and knew how to pick the vegetables piled next to the basin.

"teacher."

"teacher."

"Okay, the division of labor is clear, let's do it."

Li An started to sharpen the knife, and the rubbing sound made Wang Xiaohu pick his nails constantly.

After sharpening the knife, Li An rinsed both sides of the knife blade clean, then took out the half-melted meat.

For a moment, the only sounds in the kitchen were the occasional splash of water and the sound of a knife hitting the chopping board.

Compared to the happy laughter outside the kitchen, the kitchen is indeed a bit depressing.

Ang Lee is thinking about how to mediate the "conflict" between the two children.

Logically he should be happy. Isn’t the “deterioration” of the relationship between the two children a good thing for him?

In this way, the probability of the thing he is worried about happening will drop sharply.

But Ang Lee can't do that because these are two different things.

There is nothing wrong with Wang Xiaohu having a crush on Che Lin.

After the last conversation with Wang Xiaohu, he no longer avoided this issue.

Last time, he took the initiative to talk to Wang Xiaohu about the problem of premature love based on his own experience (Volume 30, : Two Generations Discuss Premature Love) in order to help Wang Xiaohu establish a correct concept - it is normal for adolescence to have a crush on the opposite sex.

The conflict between the two children this afternoon had nothing to do with premature love. It was simply a clash between the two children's personalities, families, and growth environments.

Therefore, he could not ignore the "conflict" between the two children because of buying shrimps, but had to take it seriously.

After much thought, Ang Lee really couldn't find a gentle approach this time, so let's just go simple and rough.

After all, among the children, the relationship between him and these two is no longer just a simple teacher-student relationship.

So putting aside the teacher-student relationship, he just treated the two children as his own children. One of the children could handle today's incident.

But he didn't see it.

Putting down the knife, Li An wiped his hands and closed the kitchen door.

Then it was locked.

With a "click" sound, Xiaoche and Wang Xiaohu were both startled at the same time, the teacher locked the door.

In an instant, the kitchen became even quieter.

"Who comes first?"

Li An returned to the chopping board and continued cutting the meat.

The two children were stunned at first, as if they realized something, and then lowered their heads at the same time.

moment.

"Did Wang Xiaohu apologize?"

Wang Xiaohu stopped and said, "Teacher, I apologize."

Li An: "I didn't ask you, just be quiet."

Wang Xiaohu: "."

Xiaoche: "Apologize, teacher."

Li An: "Did you say it's okay?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Che Lin said so."

Xiaoche: "Teacher, I didn't say that."

Wang Xiaohu: "."

Li An: "So you think it matters?"

Wang Xiaohu's heart almost jumped out of his chest. It was the first time he saw the teacher talking to Che Lin like this. The problem was that Che Lin was absolutely right!

Wang Xiaohu couldn't help it again: "Teacher, it's my fault today. I shouldn't have..."

Li An: "Don't you understand? I told you to be quiet."

Wang Xiaohu lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the leaves, at a loss. Seeing that Che Lin was silent, he became more and more anxious.

Xiaoche: "I'm sorry, Wang Xiaohu, I shouldn't have been angry with you at that time."

"No, no, no, I'm wrong!" Wang Xiaohu was scared to death.

Li An: "Keep your voice down."

Wang Xiaohu muted himself immediately and looked at Li Ang for help. His eyes were both pitiful and funny.

Li An: "Che Lin apologized to you, do you accept it?"

"I." What to do? Wang Xiaohu choked and looked left and right in panic. He wanted to faint at this moment. How should he answer?

Li An: "Is Che Lin your good friend?"

Wang Xiaohu: “Yes!”

Li An: "You feel like you can't accept an apology from a good friend."

Wang Xiaohu: "No need to apologize between good friends!"

Li An smiled and stabbed again: "Then why are you apologizing to Che Lin?"

Wang Xiaohu: “I was wrong.”

Li An: "Then do you think Che Lin did anything wrong?"

Wang Xiaohu: “No.”

Li An stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Wang Xiaohu: "Let me ask you again, do you think Che Lin did anything wrong?"

Facing the teacher's clear gaze, Wang Xiaohu wanted to open his mouth several times to confirm his answer, but in the end he nodded slightly, "A little bit."

Li An turned back and continued cutting the meat: "Tell me."

Strangely enough, Wang Xiaohu admitted that Che Lin had done something wrong in the afternoon, and then he felt relieved. "Teacher, can you listen to me?"

Li An: "Say."

Wang Xiaohu: "When I was buying shrimps, Che Lin told me not to go over there, so I thought I would never go over there this time. But when I heard her say twenty-eight, I was particularly worried that the boss would be rude to Che Lin, so I hurried over there."

Xiaoche: Speechless.

Li An: "Go on."

Wang Xiaohu: "Later, Che Lin turned around and left. The boss called her and said 38. My first reaction was to buy it quickly because Che Lin wanted to buy it. That was the first point. The second point was that the price was much cheaper than the price the boss said at the beginning, and it also came with a free fish."

Li An: "You don't know that Che Lin is deliberately provoking me."

Wang Xiaohu: "I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely not do that."

Li An: "You think your starting point is correct, and you took action impromptu without knowing the situation, but Che Lin's attitude towards you later made you feel uncomfortable, so you think Che Lin was also wrong."

moment.

Wang Xiaohu nodded quietly.

Li An: "Since you think Che Lin did something wrong, Che Lin just apologized to you. Can you accept it?"

Wang Xiaohu scratched his head: "Teacher, I don't need Che Lin to apologize. It was indeed my fault. I shouldn't have said that at the end, but I really didn't mean anything else."

Li An: "What did you say at the end?"

Wang Xiaohu hesitated for a long time, "I, I said I think that shrimp is already very cheap. The shrimp we eat at home are one or two hundred per box."

Li An sighed inwardly, put down the knife and stretched his wrist.

After all this trouble, this happened in the end. He thought Che Lin was wrong.

"I'm sorry, Che Lin." Wang Xiaohu simply put down his work, turned to Xiao Che and said sincerely, "I mean to say that I don't know what the price of shrimp should be. I have never been to the vegetable market and have never bought vegetables like this. I'm not lying to you. When I saw the shrimp was forty-five, I thought it was a bargain."

While listening, Li An observed the car from the side. He wanted to interrupt Wang Xiaohu, saying that some things were better not explained, but Wang Xiaohu's tone was frank, and he felt that after all, they were two children, and there shouldn't be too many adult things mixed between them.

So he didn't say anything, but he didn't see any reaction from Xiaoche after hearing what Wang Xiaohu said. Then Li An looked at Wang Xiaohu again.

"Che Lin, please don't be angry with me, okay? I'm really sorry."

For a moment, Ang Lee felt that Wang Xiaohu was a bit "pitiful".

Suddenly Xiaoche turned around with a calm expression, "I'm not mad at you anymore. I also did something wrong. There's no need to apologize. Just get back to work."

After saying that, Xiaoche rinsed the washed shrimps, then shook his hands and said, "Teacher, I'm done washing," and then he picked out some leeks from the pile of vegetables and started to pick them.

Li An was in trouble when he saw this. It was the first time he saw a car in such a state.

"Come on, come on, Wang Xiaohu, you should speed up too."

Picking up the knife again, Li An knew that Wang Xiaohu must be feeling even worse at the moment, but there was nothing he could do. Also, what was going on with Xiaoche?
Li An wondered if Xiao Che felt that he was biased towards Wang Xiaohu in this matter, so he felt psychologically unbalanced.

Thinking of this, Ang Lee also wanted to scratch his head.

In his heart, Xiaoche was naturally the more sensible child, so he chose this way to make Xiaoche quickly accept Wang Xiaohu's apology and thus resolve the conflict. However, he ended up losing more than he gained.

Now it seems that the knot in Xiaoche's heart is much bigger than he imagined.

If he had known this would happen, he would rather not have started it. What should he do now?
Wang Xiaohu had apologized so sincerely and explained, so he couldn't say anything more about Wang Xiaohu.

But what can he say about the car?

Ang Lee suddenly thought of parents who have twins at home. How do they deal with conflicts between their adolescent children?

There is really a science to raising children.

Hey.

The kitchen fell silent again.
-
Compared to the silent kitchen, the living room is much more lively.

Xiaobei, Ma Ke and A Liu chatted, worked and "drove away" the "Ba Wan" jumping up and down.

"Brother Ba Wan, don't get on the sofa again!"

While Liu was trying to scare Bawan with the roller in his hand, Marco learned from Xiaobei that after New Year's Day, Wang Xiaohu and Che Lin were going to Guangzhou to watch their teacher and the symphony orchestra rehearse.

Marco: “How do you know?”

Xiaobei: "The teacher just told us that after class."

"So that's it." Marco finally found out the reason why Wang Xiaohu was so excited in the afternoon.

Xiaobei: "What?"

Ma Ke stopped the broom in his hand and said, "Nothing, Xiao Bei, do you want to go too?"

Xiaobei pouted: "Of course, I want to go out and play with Linlin, I want to watch the teacher play the piano, and I also want to watch the uncles and aunts in the symphony orchestra play drums, but I can't go, the exam is coming soon."

Marco corrected: "They are not going out to play, the teacher brought them there to study. Wang Xiaohu is now the student conductor of Shu Ren, and Che Shen will participate in the Xiao Xiao competition after the New Year."

Xiaobei nodded: "The teacher said so too, saying that the schedule is very tight."

Ah Liu came over holding Ba Wan and said, "The teacher must want to take us with him, but there is nothing the teacher can do. The final exam is coming up soon, and my mother will definitely not agree."

Marco: “Yes, my dad definitely won’t agree.”

Xiao Bei thought for a moment, "Even if my parents agree, I won't go. I have to do my best on this final exam. Only after I do well can I rehearse with everyone during the holiday. We also have performances after the New Year."

Marco gave a thumbs up: "It's worthy of being in the top 30 of the experimental department, excellent."

Xiao Bei chuckled: "Nonsense!"

Ah Liu shook his head: "Ma Ke definitely didn't say anything nonsense. Ever since my mom found out about your midterm results, she has been scolding me at home every day. Ah, we practiced together every day. Look at Yu Xiaobei, then look at you. Are you blushing?"

Marco: "This question is your Achilles' heel."

Ah Liu: "What do you mean?"

Marco: "You can't tell because your face is dark."

Ah Liu: "Nonsense! I'm not a black person!"

Lao Tang, who had just finished wiping the table, was attracted by the laughter of the three children and said, "What's so funny that I can laugh too?"

Ah Liu signaled Ma Ke Xiao Bei to be quiet, and then asked: "Teacher Tang, am I dark?"

Lao Tang looked her up and down, then said seriously: "Don't worry, black is a sign of health."

Ha ha ha ha--
-
Downstairs, Xu Li had just walked into the community from the south gate of Yunkaiyuan when she saw a pair of familiar figures walking towards her whispering.

"Sister Xu."

"Sister Xu."

No one expected to meet Xu Li here. Haitao hurriedly explained that he and Zhang Miao were going to buy something.

Zhang Miao nodded.

Xu Li smiled playfully: "Go quickly."
