Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 949 209. Doubts about returning home? Whose routine is better [Part ]

On the other side, Wang Xiaohu was "complaining" in his heart that the teacher and Che Lin left without saying a word to him.

The teacher and student who were "blamed" here have already returned home.

In fact, there was not much luggage to pack in the car. All I had to take home were some clothes, books, and the diary on the desk.

"Teacher, I'm done cleaning up."

"Walk."

After riding the tram for forty minutes, the teacher and student arrived at Boyuan Restaurant.

Li An naturally had to have lunch here. After the meal, he chatted with Lao Che for a long time, and then Dingzi warmly invited him to sit in the new home for a while.

This new home is the single room that Dingzi rented in the community.

Li An thought it was pretty good. Although it didn't have a private bathroom, it was a room with windows facing the sun.

But time was limited, and Li An had classes soon, so he couldn't stay any longer. In the end, the brother and sister sent Li An to an online car-hailing service, which was ordered by Dingzi.

Dingzi: "Teacher Li, come back and have dinner at our house."

Li An: "That's a must."

Xiaoche clenched his fist in front of his chest and said, "Come on, teacher!"

Li An: "You should also work hard and do your best to get a satisfactory final grade."

Xiaoche: "Well! Goodbye, teacher!"

Nail: "Goodbye, Teacher Li!"

Li An: "Let's go, you two can go in quickly."

The brother and sister watched the car drive out of the intersection. Xiaoche's expression suddenly changed: "I told you that the teacher has a class in the afternoon."

Dingzi looked embarrassed, he knew that saying nothing was the most obvious choice at this moment. He had just invited Teacher Li to his place and wanted Che Lin and Teacher Li to stay for a while. Besides, there was still an hour before Teacher Li's class, he believed that it would not delay Teacher Li's class.

As Dingzi expected, after a few seconds, Xiaoche's expression relaxed.

"Come!"

After saying that, Dingzi ran towards the store. Xiaoche didn't know what Dingzi was going to do, so he followed him.

"Has Teacher Li left?" Sang Ping asked.

Nail: “Let’s go!”

The car following closely behind: "Let's go!"

Looking at the brother and sister jumping around, Sang Ping smiled. The winter vacation has finally arrived. She has been dreaming about Linlin recently.

Hearing the noise, Lao Che walked out from the kitchen and asked Dingzi, "Why didn't you tell me that Teacher Li was leaving?"

The little car with nails defended himself: "It was the teacher who didn't allow us to say it."

Hearing this, Lao Che's brows relaxed. At this time, Dingzi took out a large bag of snacks from the front desk cabinet.

Nail: "Welcome home!"

Xiaoche felt a little embarrassed: "What are you doing? That's weird."

Xiao Zhizhi raised her hand to reach the bag. Xiaoche took the bag and looked inside. It was full of her favorite spicy food. Then she took out the fish sausage that Xiaobei gave her in the morning from her pocket and put it to Zhizhi.

Xiao Zhizhi snatched it away, and then Laoche said, "We are closed tonight."

Xiaoche: "It's the weekend today!"

Sang Ping came over and said, "Weekends are the time to relax and have a rest."

Nail clapped his hands and said, "Hurry up and study. We'll set off on time at 5:30!"

Zhizhi raised the fish sausage in his hand: "Zhizhi!"

In piano classroom No. 4, Xu Li and her son had just finished eating takeout.

Wang Xiaohu: "Mom, I want to go to grandpa's house for dinner tonight."

Xu Li: "Don't you want to have dinner with the teacher tonight?"

Wang Xiaohu: "It's not that I don't want to, you guys still have a meeting, it's not convenient to take me with you, and I haven't seen my grandparents since I came back."

Xu Lixin smiled, it was not easy, there was progress: "We will leave when your teacher comes back. You will accompany your grandparents in the afternoon, and I will pick you up in the evening after finishing my homework."

Wang Xiaohu: "Ah? You're not sleeping at grandpa's house today?"

Xu Li thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I'll go home and get my schoolbag so I don't miss my review."

After Li Ang came back, Xu Li prepared to take Wang Xiaohu away.

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher, I'm leaving now. I will watch your live concert on the evening of the 13th!"

Li An: "Then you should review your lessons well in the next two days."

Wang Xiaohu curled his lips: "I know, I know."

Li An smiled and said, "Do your best in the exam, and see you during the holidays."

Wang Xiaohu ran over and stretched out his fist. Seeing this, Li An also stretched out his fist and bumped it with Wang Xiaohu.

"During the teacher's vacation!"

After deciding on the dinner place with Ang Lee, Xu Li took her son and left.

Afterwards, Li An posted the location of Blue Whale in the Sigang group and @ed everyone, "6:30 in the evening!"

Haitao was the first to respond: "Got it!"

Then Mu Xin and Lao Tang also sent an emoticon.

At one fifty-five, Xiao Ma gently pushed open the door of piano classroom number four.

"teacher!"

"Did you come by yourself?"

"Yeah, I came here by bus. Teacher, this place is so big."

"It's big, this will be our base from now on."

"Hey, teacher, when do we start training?"

"I really need to think about this. Come on, let's go to class first. Let's review Vivaldi today."

"Well, teacher, which piano should I play?"

"as you like."

Xiao Ma picked a white piano.
-
While teaching Xiao Ma, the phone on the piano board vibrated three times.

When it vibrated for the fourth time, Li An let Xiao Ma take a rest.

He calculated the time when Chen Xuan usually woke up.

as predicted.

Ang Lee: Aren’t we going to sleep till the end of time?
Chen Xuan: I didn’t sleep well, my head feels swollen

Ang Lee: Let’s sleep a little longer. It’s only 7:30.
Chen Xuan: I can’t sleep anymore. You go to class first. I’ll get up and eat something.
-
After replying to Li Ang, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and then put away her phone.

To some extent, she still felt a little guilty, after all, she was not good at talking nonsense with her eyes open.

Teacher Xiao, who was driving nearby, commented with a smile, "I admire you young people. Just tell him in advance."

Chen Xuan said coquettishly. She had actually decided a month ago to come back after the exams, and she had thought about whether to tell Li An in advance, but after repeated consideration, she finally decided not to tell Li An.

At first, her intention was not to give Ang Lee a surprise, but the two of them were going to perform on stage only three days apart.

If she told Li An in advance, she could be sure that Li An would come to pick her up and make all kinds of preparations for picking her up in advance.

Ang Lee has been busy enough recently, with rehearsals, the opening of Sigang Steel, and performances. The only way she can help is to not make things worse.

So she decided to come back quietly.

Of course, she also looks forward to little surprises between couples.

She couldn't wait to see Lee Ang's expression when he saw her the day after tomorrow night. It would be exciting.

Thinking of that scene, Teacher Xiaomi's heart felt like the grass of longing growing wildly in the dry wasteland.

Teacher Xiao of course understood Chen Xuan's thoughts.

It's just that the opportunity at Debster was a bit of a pity. If there were two positions, she would naturally hope that both of her beloved disciples could go, but there was only one position and if Teacher Xiao had to choose one of the two, she hoped that Chen Xuan could go, and Debster also gave this opportunity to Chen Xuan.

But now that Chen Xuan is back, there is no need for her to say some things anymore.

Teacher Xiao: "Your sudden return must have touched Li Ang to death."

Chen Xuan: "Hey."

Teacher Xiao: "Now that you are back, plan your New Year's arrangements carefully. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to settle things? I think you two are done with this."

Chen Xuan: "He was also very busy during the Chinese New Year. After this performance, he had to prepare for the opening concert. Then it was Chinese New Year. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, he had another performance and also had to teach students."

Teacher Xiao: "It's not like you're asked to do it during the Chinese New Year. You've been to his house, and he's met your parents. They're both pretty happy with you, right? Then shouldn't we arrange for your parents to meet each other? Just make some time for it, and wait until you come back during the summer vacation. It'll be fine if you can get this done this year, and then you two can just focus on your own things. How nice."

meal.

"Calculate how long you can stay in the country in the next year. Some things can only be handled while both of you are there. You can't rely on Li An alone. Besides, your two families are far away from each other. Your parents and his father haven't retired yet. If you decide to have your two families meet during the winter vacation, whether it's their family visiting yours or both families going to Chengdu, you should start preparing now."

Chen Xuan understood the situation and the reason, but was it too fast? "I'm worried that he's under too much pressure. He's been too busy this year."

Teacher Xiao: "First, tell me if you are ready?"

Chen Xuan: "I'm ready."

Teacher Xiao: "Are you busy this year?"

Chen Xuan was speechless.

Teacher Xiao smiled and said, "Xiaoxuan, listen to what the teacher said. You will only get busier and busier in the future. Do you really have to wait until you graduate to put this matter on the agenda? I don't think it's necessary."

"Marriage is not that complicated. If you two have made up your mind, it won't be a big deal no matter how busy you are. Your mom also told me last time that we can deal with the house together. Besides, with Ang Lee's current income level, some of the issues you are worried about are not a problem. The money he will earn from this performance alone is at least enough to pay for his father's annual salary."

Chen Xuan: "Well, there can be a lot more."

Teacher Xiao: "Right, you are not going to buy a house here. Of course, it doesn't mean you don't have pressure. Of course, there is pressure, but a little pressure is not a bad thing. Even if your parents can create the best starting conditions for you, the future still depends on your own hard work."

Seeing Chen Xuan remained silent, Teacher Xiao asked, "Does Li Ang want to wait until you graduate?"

Chen Xuan: "We haven't discussed this issue in detail, but I feel that he wants to save enough money before doing it. In fact, even if he doesn't say it, I can guess that he is more or less relieved that I went abroad. At least it gave him some buffer time."

Teacher Xiao: "What will you do if he changes his mind midway?"

Chen Xuan: “He won’t.”

Teacher Xiao: "What about you?"

Chen Xuan: "I don't know how to do that either."

Teacher Xiao: "Then think carefully about what I said and whether you should put it on the agenda as soon as possible. Whether it is for you or him, there is no end to the struggle."

There is no end to struggle. Teacher Xiao’s last words touched Chen Xuan’s heart.

Not long after Chen Xuan arrived at the China Conservatory of Music from the airport, Li Ang also finished Mu Zi's class.

Muzi seemed to like the magnetic stickers on the decorative wall very much. He kept looking back during class and ran straight over after class. Perhaps because he couldn't reach them, Muzi could only look up and stare blankly.

"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Song." Li An said as he took off a diamond-shaped magnetic sticker from the wall and handed it to Muzi.

Xiao Muzi took it with both hands as if it were a treasure, and giggled happily.

"What's the trouble?" Song Sheng told Li An to just go over there when the time comes. "Muzi, return it to Master quickly. You can't take it away."

Little Muzi was reluctant to stretch out his hand when he heard that. Li An stepped forward, bent down and touched Muzi's head: "Take it and play with it. I have a lot of this stuff in my warehouse. Go home and practice the piano well. Next time you come to class, if you play well, I will give you another round one."

Xiao Muzi quickly put his hands behind his back, and the way the little chicken nodded was indescribably cute.

This time, without waiting for Song Sheng to remind him, Mu Zi spoke up himself: "Thank you, Master."

Li An smiled and said, "Be good, go and pack up the music."

Song Sheng was naturally indescribably happy watching this scene. Before leaving, he once again invited Li An to go with him. It was already past four o'clock, and it would soon be half past six.

But Li An wanted to have a quiet chat with Chen Xuan for a while, so he let Song Sheng go first on the grounds that he had work to do.

However, Teacher Xiaomi probably fell asleep again and did not reply to his message.

Sleep, sleep.

Li An practiced the piano for a while downstairs. After learning that Lao Tang and Mu Xin took a bus directly to Blue Whale, he locked the door and went there alone at 5:30.
-
Just like that, the first official meeting of Piano No. 4 was held in the booth on the second floor of Blue Whale.

Of course, eating and drinking is also one of the themes of today. Song Sheng and the brothers from Blue Whale have provided the utmost in service.

The topic of today's meeting naturally revolves around the upcoming admissions and concerts.

Is it necessary to use so-called rhetoric in the process of communicating with parents and children? The answer is yes.

Ang Lee did not shy away from inviting everyone to discuss the issue, and at the end he also shared some of his own thoughts.

Even after a few drinks, he said bluntly: "Is the routine right? To be honest, I have been conflicted about this issue. I always feel that I am a teacher."

"I don't know since when, the word 'teacher' has been tied to the saying 'a silkworm will not stop spinning silk until it dies'. At first, I really thought it was a love poem. I am familiar with this poem. I have learned it in the textbook. But no matter whether it is a poem or not, I have not learned in the textbook that 'only when the granaries are full can one know honor and disgrace'. Maybe the education in our place is really backward."

Everyone laughs.

"So now that I think about it, it doesn't matter what the routine is. Teacher, we are human beings. We also need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. If we are ashamed to admit even this, then we are being insincere to ourselves."

"How can a teacher who is not sincere to himself be sincere in teaching students?"

"Besides, who is cleaner than who?"

Everyone laughed again.

"So whether the routine is right or not, I think it depends on the results we are pursuing. If the results we are pursuing are dregs, then the routine is dregs."

"Rather, it is simply a means to an end."

"Come."

"I firmly believe that with all of you here, our Piano Classroom No. 4 will definitely get better and better and go further and further."

Everyone raised their glasses.

After drinking this glass of wine, everyone seemed to be in a better mood.

As everyone's hearts gradually opened up, Ang Lee picked up his phone more and more frequently.

But Chen Xuan kept asking him to look at his phone less.

"Don't worry about me. I've been saving up the show for a long time, and today I can finally start. Your task today is to accompany everyone well. Do you understand, baby?"

It was this message that made Ang Lee want to fly to Sburg immediately and hug Chen Xiaomi in his arms.

Many times, all a man needs is a little understanding at a critical moment. A little is enough, just like now.
