Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 896 156. Whose fault is it for the disappearance of people?

"cheers."

After having a great time, the adults toasted.

We enjoyed the meal and the children also toasted.

The friends didn't know why, but Wang Xiaohu suddenly started talking more.

Not only did he talk more, but his appetite seemed to have returned as he ate with a chopstick in hand and enjoyed the food with a sizzling taste.

Wang Xiaohu's change made Li An shift his attention to the car. After a few minutes of observation, Li An found that the car's state was gradually returning to the familiar state, and the occasional smile was very cute.

It seems that he was meddling in other people's business. Children have their own ways of resolving conflicts.

Seeing this, Li An was no longer worried. He was in a good mood and stood up and looked around and asked, "Which do you think is better, beef or mutton?"

He was going to get some more meat.

"Beef!" Wang Xiaohu immediately raised his hand in response.

Li An slapped his forehead, wondering how could he have forgotten about this just now? He was still thinking about the fact that Wang Xiaohu didn't eat mutton in the morning.

"Right away," he told the crowd, "Wang Xiaohu doesn't eat mutton."

After Li Ang finished speaking, the adults were fine, but the children all looked at Wang Xiaohu in disbelief.

He chattered and asked Wang Xiaohu frantically as if he had discovered some new world.

Wang Xiaohu scratched his head: "I can't get used to the taste of mutton."

Ah Liu: "No way? What about the lamb skewers?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I eat other kebabs, but not mutton."

Xiaobei: "What about the sheep's stomach?"

Wang Xiaohu: “I don’t want to eat it either.”

Haitao: "Wow, mutton is so delicious."

Wang Xiaohu smiled innocently.

Zhang Miao: “I didn’t eat mutton when I was a child. I only started eating it after I entered high school.”

Lao Tang: "I had a roommate in college who was like that, and he couldn't stand even the smell of it."

Xu Li took over the conversation, "He too, has refused to eat beef since he was a child. When he was four years old, I once used mutton to trick him into thinking it was beef, and he vomited after eating it."

Everyone burst into laughter instantly, and in their laughter they felt a little sorry for the four-year-old Wang Xiaohu.

Mark:"."

Lao Tang: "Brother An, please give me more beef."

The children agreed.

Wang Xiaohu hurriedly said no.

"You guys eat first," Li An said as he was about to go to the kitchen, then turned around and said, "Che Lin, eat by yourself quickly, don't call me."

Car: "Yeah!"

After Ang Lee left, the topic at the dinner table jumped to the culinary characteristics of various places.

As the only out-of-towner tonight, Lao Tang once again became the focus of discussion.

Only Marco was still thinking about Wang Xiaohu. "Are you okay?" He touched Wang Xiaohu's arm worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Wang Xiaohu smiled and picked up a piece of luncheon meat for Marco, "Don't worry."

Marco was temporarily relieved when he heard Wang Xiaohu say that everything was okay. He thought Wang Xiaohu had eaten all the meat he had just picked up. He was not sure whether there was mutton in it, but according to the density in the pot just now, there should be mutton in that big chopstick.

After picking up some luncheon meat for Marco, Wang Xiaohu picked up another piece of luncheon meat from the pot. He hesitated for a moment and still didn't put it on Che Lin's plate.

Xiao Che actually thought that Wang Xiaohu picked up this piece for her, because he saw it when Wang Xiaohu picked up the previous piece for Marco.

If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me. After peeling the last shrimp in his hand, Xiaoche lowered his head and counted them. There were fifteen shrimps in total.

Just enough for each person. Xiaoche put on his plastic gloves and quickly handed the plate specially for the shrimps to Xiaobei.

"Thank you, Linlin!" Xiaobei kept one shrimp and passed the plate to Zhang Miao, "Teacher Zhang, Linlin peeled the shrimp."

"Thank you, Lin." Zhang Miao left one.

Xiao Che bared his teeth: "It's okay, Teacher Zhang."

After a circle, with everyone's thanks and Xiaoche's shy smile, the plate finally returned to Wang Xiaohu's hands.

"Thank you." Wang Xiaohu also left one and put the plate back in front of the cart, "You eat too."

Xiaoche: "I have already eaten."

As he spoke, Xiaoche took another one from the plate for Xiaobei, and then pushed the plate in front of Wang Xiaohu, "It's just right for the three of you to have one each."

A Liule: "I want to save some space for meat."

Ma Kele: “+1.”

Wang Xiaohu looked embarrassed, and Xiaoche was also happy, "Then you can eat it all."

Wang Xiaohu: “No, no!”

Xiaoche immediately put away his smile and said, "Stop talking nonsense, we can eat mutton."

Wang Xiaohu was suddenly filled with a sense of happiness as he was conquered by the domineering car!

"Then I won't be polite." He picked up the chopsticks and put one into his mouth, and then x100 for being happy!

Xiaobei was about to die of laughter. Wang Xiaohu was indeed afraid of Linlin.

At this time, Haitao stood up and patted his stomach, "Take a break, shall we go, Brother Tang?"

A look that only men can understand.

Lao Tang also stood up, and the two of them went to the kitchen tacitly.
-
The two came to the kitchen, and Li An opened the window and added a range hood.

"Have one."

"Wait a minute, both of you."

Li An put down the knife and covered the cut meat with plastic wrap.

Haitao: "Not really, bro. When I was a kid, my dad smoked while cooking."

"My dad is the same." Li An took the cigarette handed to him by Lao Tang, "Mu Xin will arrive at noon the day after tomorrow. Haitao, are you free?"

Haitao: "Where to pick it up? I'll go."

Li An: "Let's go together. Let's catch her wind at noon, let her rest in the afternoon, and then we'll talk about the problems of the first batch of students in the evening."

Lao Tang: “It will start next week.”

Li An: "Well, we have to get ready before the children's final exams. I will go to Guangzhou on the 4th and come back on the evening of the 6th. I have to accompany the art exam candidates on the 7th and 8th. During the days when I'm away, Lao Tang, you can take my last class at Shu Ren. It's a good opportunity to get to know the children in advance."

Lao Tang: “OK.”

Li An: "Haitao, you should sort out the list by then. You two should focus on those children who have a strong intention to sign up and give them more guidance, Haitao."

"Yeah, brother, don't worry." Haitao quickly put away his phone and looked up, "Yeah, keep going."

Looking at Haitao's smirk, Li An moved his gaze to Zhang Miao outside the window and saw Zhang Miao pick up the mobile phone on the table.

"What are you going to do?" Li An smiled, "Wait for me to send you a letter by carrier pigeon."

Lao Tang: "How about creating a group in advance? Let's get to know each other online first, otherwise it will be a bit awkward when we meet in person."

Li An was impressed. You two are really great. What was I talking about? One of you was sending messages to a female comrade, and the other was thinking about a female colleague.

But Lao Tang’s suggestion is correct.

Just then Haitao took out his cell phone again.

Student Zhang Miao: I'm full already! Brother An prepared such a rich meal, how about you?
-
restaurant.

Zheng Haitao: I’m almost there. You should get up and move around. Don’t sit all the time. It’s bad for digestion.

Zhang Miao looked at the phone screen and smiled, then replied: You really can eat!

Then he put down his phone and stood up.

Seeing this, Xiao Bei asked, "Where are you going, Teacher Zhang?"

Zhang Miao smiled and said, "I'm not going anywhere. Let my stomach digest it. Xiaobei, can you still eat?"

Xiao Bei laughed: "It's still edible!"

It is not without reason that when a group of children eat together, they eat twice as much.

Zhang Miao looked around, as if he was looking for something. "Hey, where is the kitten at home? Why can't I see it?"

Having seen countless 80,000-yuan emojis in the group, Zhang Miao had always wanted to earn 80,000 yuan himself.

The car turned and shouted.

There was no sign of Ba Wan, and Xiao Che explained that maybe there were too many people today so Ba Wan hid.

Then he patted the stool and shouted "Bai Wan", trying to call Ba Wan out with the voice that Ba Wan was familiar with.

There was still no sign of Ba Wan, so Xiao Che got up and muttered to go look for Ba Wan.

"It's okay, Chelin. It's just that it's afraid of crowds." Zhang Miao didn't want to scare Xiao Bawan.

"Teacher Zhang, it's not afraid of crowds," Xiaoche understands Bawan. Bawan simply becomes less lively when there are many people around. But if someone tries to play with Bawan or tease him, Bawan will also perform the kitten roll in public.

"Eighty thousand." The car went to the cat climbing frame first, and Eighty thousand was not near the cat climbing frame.

She picked up the cat toy with a bell and waved it, "Eighty thousand," while she searched every corner of the living room.

"Eh? Where is Ba Wan hiding?" Xiao Che frowned.

At this time, several children stood up and gathered together to look for it.

"Eighty thousand!"

"Eighty thousand come out quickly!"

"Eighty thousand come out to eat meat!"

"Eighty thousand come out quickly!"

The more Xiaoche searched, the more uneasy she felt. It was the first time she had searched for so long and still hadn't found 80,000.

"Bawanguai, come out." The voice of the car trembled a little, and the feet seemed to lose direction.

Wang Xiaohu just lay on the ground and looked around under the sofa. Xiaoche came over and asked, "Is there anything?!"

"No." Wang Xiaohu stood up and frowned, looking around. Where could the 80,000 be hidden? "Don't worry, don't worry."

Ma Ke also came over at this time, "There is nothing behind the air conditioner or under the TV cabinet."

"There's nothing under the curtains either," Xiao Bei shouted over here, "but the window is closed."

Hearing that the window was closed, Xiaoche felt a little more at ease.

Xu Li and Zhang Miao also joined the search, and the three people in the kitchen returned to the living room upon seeing this.

As soon as Xiaoche came up, he said that Teacher Bawan was missing, and the anxiety in his eyes was obvious.

Li An thought something was wrong and smiled and said, "It's okay, it must be at home."

Then he went to get a can of cat food and said, "Just be quiet, he will be out soon."

The sound of opening a can is the summoning device of Ba Wan. Whenever Ba Wan hears that click, he will appear.

However, this time the magic failed. Ten seconds had passed since Lee Ang opened the can, but Ba Wan still did not appear.

"Eh?" Li An was also puzzled. "You searched the living room, under the sofa, behind the TV cabinet, and by the window."

"I've found them all!" Xiaoche was completely panicked, and then ran quickly towards his own cabin.

The unprecedented panic of the car made the whole living room tense. Xu Li turned off the hot pot and everyone continued to look for it.

"Eighty thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

"Wang Xiaohu, go to the kitchen, lie down and look under the cabinet."

"No, Mom, is there one in the bathroom?"

"No."

Xiao Che didn't find the car in his room, so he went to the kitchen and started looking for it on the floor.

Li An searched the study and then went to the master bedroom, looked through the closet and under the bed and opened his suitcase.

The suitcase was clearly locked, and Li An was also panicked.

As if he had lost his soul, Li Ang's legs also seemed to lose their sense of direction.

"Eighty thousand!"

As the first companion he saw when he opened his eyes, from the beginning to now, whether happy or unhappy, whether moving to 2501 or the current 102, Ba Wan has always been silently accompanying him!
Every time when he opened the door exhausted, there would always be a small orange figure coming up from inside and butting him with his head.

Too many images flashed through Ang Lee’s mind in an instant, and Ang Lee didn’t dare to think anymore!

“Eighty thousand!!”

As time went on, more and more corners were checked, and the atmosphere in the living room became more depressing.

Wang Xiaohu ran out of the kitchen again, his face and hands covered in grease, his new clothes stained with burnt yellow oil stains: "There's nothing behind the range hood or in the pipe."

Li An came back to his senses a little: "Be careful! Don't fall."

"Don't worry, don't worry," said Lao Tang, whose family lost a puppy when he was a child. He could understand Ang Lee's feelings at the moment. "Cats are not like dogs. They won't run away easily. Think about it again."

At this time, Marco raised his phone and said, "Teacher, the Internet says that cats are like this. The more you look for them, the more they will shrink into a corner and won't come out. Don't worry."

"Don't worry, don't worry," Li An breathed softly and told himself to stay calm. He looked around, "Where's Che Lin?"

As he spoke, Xiao Bei and Che Lin ran out of the hut again. The expressions of the two little girls at this moment were beyond description.

Li Anshen exclaimed and clapped his hands, "No one should be anxious, Linlin, you should stop looking for it for now."

After a pause, "Who remembers when and where Ba Wan appeared?"

Ah Liu: "Teacher, when you and Wang Xiaohu and Che Lin were in the kitchen, we played with Ba Wan for a while."

Xiaobei: "Yes! At that time, Liu carried Ba Wan down from the sofa! Then, then, Teacher Tang came over and asked us what we said?"

Lao Tang: "Yes, Ba Wan went to the wall to eat while we were talking."

Xiao Bei: "I remember now! When I went to put the mop away, Ba Wan was lying at the bathroom door. I was a little afraid to go over, so I called Liu, and then Marco came over."

Everyone looked at Marco, who faded from his memories: "Yes, I put the mop in, and when Xiaobei and I came out, the bedroom door was locked. Ba Wan was still at the bathroom door at that time."

Marco said, pointing to the door of the master bedroom.

Li An: "Who opened this door in the middle?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Lee Ang: "Who opened the study door before dinner?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Li An: "The door of the hut?"

Everyone continued to shake their heads.

Li An looked around and said, "Then it can't be in these three places."

Marco: "I went back to the living room and was about to help Ah Liu clean the fur on the sofa, and then Wang Xiaohu came out with two bags of garbage in his hands. He said he was going to throw away the garbage, and then Aunt Xu Li came in."

Xu Li suddenly remembered, "When I came in, 80,000 was under the coffee table. I'm sure of that because I was putting something on the coffee table."

Ma Ke: "That means Ba Wan was still in the living room when Aunt Xu Li came."

Haitao: "When Zhang Miao and I came in, we didn't see Ba ​​Wan. Zhang Miao even asked me where the kitten was."

Zhang Miao: "Yes, I also went to the cat climbing frame to take a look."

Hai Tao: "Wait! Wait!"

Haitao's suddenly furrowed brows instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Zhang Miao and I came up with Wang Xiaohu. After we got out of the elevator, we ran into Che Lin and Xiao Liu. They were carrying stools."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohu's heart skipped a beat!

I’m diao!!!!!!!!!!!!

He wanted to go up and help Che Lin get a stool, but Che Lin refused. Then when he went up, the door to the living room was open.

"Door!" Zhang Miao and Hai Tao thought at the same time. Hai Tao didn't even bother looking for his clothes: "The door was open!"

Everyone's heart trembled, the most terrible thing happened!
Li An's breathing became disordered for a moment, and the car had already rushed towards the living room door in the previous second.

Xiaoche's brain was blank. The teacher asked her to go to the next door to borrow a stool. Ah Liu went with her. Ah Liu opened the door and she followed behind.

She now didn't know what was in her mind that caused her not to close the door. There was only one thing in her mind: she must find the 80,000.

If eighty thousand is lost.

She didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Xiao Che had never regretted so much for any mistake she had made. She just felt that she had committed a crime.
