Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 984 244. The Aftermath of the Ending [Twenty]

Che Lin is a thin girl in junior high school. She likes piano music and also likes practicing the piano, and she plays it quite well.

Three adults and a child were talking to each other, and a sketch of a cute girl appeared in front of He Peng's lover's eyes.

What surprised her was Lao He's evaluation.

Very good. If these words come out of Lao He's mouth, it means that this child is definitely more than just very good.

Lao He's lover understood Lao He. Even if the girl was Li Ang's student, Lao He would not compliment her if she was just average.

"Mom, Che Lin is also going to participate in the Xiao Xiao competition. We are in the same group."

Xiao He's tone made it seem as if both he and Che Lin had already qualified to go to Yanjing to participate in the finals.

Indeed, if both contestants successfully pass the video auditions, they will definitely meet in the finals in Yanjing. As for who will qualify to go to Warsaw to participate in the global finals, there may be four situations.

The first option is that both children are among the top three in the group and go together.

In the second option, only Xiao He is among the top three, and Xiao He goes.

In the third option, only Xiaoche is among the top three, so Xiaoche goes.

The fourth type is those who have not entered and can only watch others go.

He Peng's wife smiled and said, "Did you hear how long Che Lin practices piano every day? You should keep working hard too."

Xiao He pondered for a moment: "If I can practice six hours a day, can I go to Warsaw?"

All four adults laughed.

Lee Ang: “You have to practice first.”

Xiao He: "Teacher Li, you must have been to Warsaw."

Lee Ang: “I haven’t been there.”

Xiao He bared his teeth and said, "There is an interesting Holy Cross Church in Warsaw. I will take you there when the time comes!"

Li An smiled, and then He Peng said to his son: "Okay, stop pestering Teacher Li. When you are full, go and practice what Teacher Li taught you this afternoon."

At this time, Xiao He behaved very obediently and reluctantly said goodbye to the dinner table.

After a while, Bach's music came from upstairs.

"Mingrui's ability to sense musical notes is really unlike that of a junior high school student."

Ang Lee was not complimenting Xiao He. During his afternoon lessons with Xiao He, he discovered more than once that Xiao He could play some very thoughtful sentences.

Facing Li An's affirmation, Lao He was naturally proud. He also agreed with Li An's statement that his son's lack of stability always made him feel uneasy. "Alas, this child is too superficial."

Children are always a topic that parents never get tired of talking about.

Although Li An and Chen Xuan are not parents yet, they both have some experience in taking care of children.

After a while, the dinner table seemed to have turned into a parent-teacher meeting, and He Peng was no longer the head of the group, but just an ordinary parent.

Fang Yongbo had told him earlier that he could consult Ang Lee on issues concerning the education of children, saying that Ang Lee had his own way of bringing up children.

"Come on, Mr. Li."

"Brother He."

Lao He raised his cup, and Li An also raised his cup. They clinked their cups and drank from them. Lao He's wife went to wash some fruit and brought it over.

"How long can Teacher Chen take care of me this time?"

Chen Xuan: “Only one month.”

Lao He’s wife: “This is quite stressful, and it’s been a year since the beginning.”

Chen Xuan: "Yeah, I just came back and I feel like I have to leave again soon."

Lao He's wife: "Ah, you guys are just too busy, otherwise I really want to keep you guys to play for a few more days. It's not easy to finish all the work."

Li An took over the conversation: "We also want to play for a few more days. We have a lot of things to do at home. We originally planned to go back the day after tomorrow, but after we discussed it, we realized that if we go back the day after tomorrow, we will be busy. Forget it, let's go back tomorrow."

Lao He: "You should go back a day earlier. You still need to rest for a day. Lao Yao has already arranged your tickets, right?"

Chen Xuan: "Yeah, I received the text message in the afternoon."

Li An raised his glass: "I felt embarrassed when Brother Bo told me about it. Thank you Brother Peng."

Lao He waved his hand: "We are all family, don't be polite, come on."

The two of them chatted again, and then Lao He went back to the topic of children.

"You talk about these kids nowadays. I don't know if it's really because I'm out of touch with modern education. Sometimes I just can't understand them."
-
Lao He is not the only parent who doesn’t understand his child.

These past two days, Lao Che has found himself a little confused about his daughter.

It wasn't that he was worried about anything.

My daughter seems to have changed a little after living at Teacher Li's house for a semester.

He didn't think it was a bad change.

It’s just that my daughter seems to have more little secrets.

He once asked Linlin, "What's wrong with you? Tell your father if you have any happy news."

The car will say what happened.

Now when he saw his daughter secretly having fun alone, he couldn't ask her anything.

It may also be that the child has grown up and has his own little worries.

"nail."

"Eh."

"Teacher Li will be back the day after tomorrow. Let's make the meat paste after closing tonight."

"Master, can I do this tomorrow morning? It will be in time."

"What's wrong with you again?"

"Hey, I want to go out and play."

"Play around? Are you dating someone?"

"no!"

"You run out every other day after closing the door."

"Oh, didn't Teacher Li tell you that you don't understand young people's affairs?"

"No playing cards."

"What cards are you playing? I will definitely be back before twelve o'clock."

Lao Che thought for a moment. It was almost ten o'clock. Seeing that there was no business today, he said, "Let's go."

"Thank you, Master!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Nail took off his apron and threw it away: "Leave all the dishes there for me to wash tomorrow! I love you!"

The voice was still echoing in the kitchen, but the figure of Nail was gone.

"Silly boy." The old car is happy and still loves you.

After a while, Sang Ping came to the kitchen and asked in a concerned voice, "Where is Dingzi doing again? He ran away without even saying anything at the door."

"He can tell me." Lao Che put a pile of bowls into the sink. "Ask him when you get back."

After a moment, Sang Ping asked suspiciously, "I've seen him alone lately, thinking about things. Do you think he doesn't want to date anymore?"

Lao Che put down his work after hearing this and said, "It's hard to say. He's old enough, but he stays in the store all day. How can he meet girls?"

Sang Ping: “Nowadays, the Internet is full of young people.”

Lao Che thought about how Dingzi has been fiddling with his phone to play with the video account in the past two months. Isn't this just surfing the Internet every day?

Is this a wave?

"Why don't we come back and let Linlin ask?" Sang Ping felt that she wouldn't be able to find out anything.

Lao Che curled his lips and said, "They have been in the same group since they were young. If Dingzi doesn't want you to know, then you can't know."

After a pause, he said, "Forget it, don't worry about it. A nail can't hide anything. I guess if there is really something, he will tell it himself soon."

Sang Ping nodded: "Linlin said she will go to the piano room to rehearse early tomorrow morning."

Lao Che: “Let’s go.”

Sang Ping: "She said she won't be back for lunch."

Lao Che: "You're not coming back for dinner again."

Sang Ping: "It's been a while since we last saw each other. Now that we finally have a holiday, I guess they want to play together."

Lao Che: "Give her another fifty dollars tomorrow morning."

Sang Ping: "I just gave it to her upstairs, but she didn't want it."

Lao Che: "Forget it, she has money in her phone."

Sang Ping: "Well, you go and have a rest, I'll do the cleaning."

Lao Che: "A few bowls will be washed out in a while. You go to the front and watch. If there is no one else, we will close early today."

Suddenly, "She is still practicing the piano?"

Sang Ping: "I don't even dare to knock on her door." Lao Che: "We have been practicing since this morning."

Sang Ping smiled: "I just had a quick meal in the afternoon and then went back to the house."

Lao Che also laughed: "This will take seven or eight hours."

upstairs.

Linlin is using the last bit of time before ten o'clock to practice the piano.

After the video call with her teacher in the morning, she did not practice the piano immediately, but instead made a piano practice schedule for the winter vacation.

Preparing for the Xiaoxiao competition is Linlin’s main task this winter vacation.

She set a rule for herself that she must practice the piano for more than six hours every day no matter what.

In other words, six hours minimum.

She prepared three colors of kitten stickers, one is a red kitten, one is a blue kitten, and one is a black kitten.

The red kitten sticker means you have practiced for six hours.

The blue kitten sticker represents eight hours of practice.

The black kitten sticker means you haven't practiced for six hours.

If she didn't practice for six hours due to special circumstances on a certain day, she would put a black kitten sticker behind the date on her schedule.

In the following week, she has to collect three blue kitten stickers to replace the black kitten stickers with red kitten stickers.

Her goal this holiday season is to collect half of the red kitten stickers, with the other half naturally being blue kitten stickers.

"when!"

As the last note fell, Xiao Che did not withdraw his hand in a hurry, but waited until the music in his heart disappeared before slowly raising his left hand.

"call!"

With a sigh, Xiaoche happily stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the blue kitten sticker on the table, and happily stuck it behind the first day of the schedule.

"come on!"

Looking at the blue kitten on the schedule, Xiaoche couldn't help but start thinking about tofu pudding and bean buns.

Quickly check your phone.

I picked up the phone and found Wang Xiaohu’s WeChat.

"Doubao really loves to sleep."

Seeing Doubao lazily lying in the shark's mouth, Xiaoche quickly edited: "Why does Doubao sleep from morning till night?"

Click Send.
-
why?
Wang Xiaohu also wanted to know, he even thought Doubao was sick.

But when it comes to eating dry rice, a cat can eat more than twice as much tofu pudding as tofu pudding.

Maybe I was born to love sleeping.

'It's probably because I'm still young. My grandma said that I was able to eat and sleep when I was young. Cats that can eat and sleep are blessed cats.'

Click Send, and then.

'Have you finished your piano practice?'

moment.

Lin: After the practice, he keeps sleeping during the day. Will he be unable to sleep at night?

Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said: That shouldn’t be the case. My mother said that they were very quiet these two nights.

Lin: That’s good. Keep an eye on them and make sure they don’t drop the vase on the windowsill onto the ground.

Wang Xiaohu was surprised: Do you still remember the vase on my windowsill?

Lin: The point!

Wang Xiaohu: Don’t worry, don’t worry. They can’t jump up yet. I will check the house in a while and make sure they don’t get into trouble.

Lin: Yeah, that’s what I mean. I’m going to sleep now. See you tomorrow.

Wang Xiaohu: Wait, what time will you arrive tomorrow?

Lin: Not sure. I’ll go see Xiaobei at 7 o’clock.

Wang Xiaohu thought it was so early, he finally had a day off and he wanted to sleep a little longer, okay okay: Oh ok, see you tomorrow, good night!
Lin: Good night. Good night.

Putting down his phone, Wang Xiaohu walked around the living room, putting away any cups or ornaments he saw.

After a while, Xu Li heard the sound and came out of the bedroom, "What are you doing?"

Wang Xiaohu walked to the dining room without looking back and continued to check: "Mom, we have to check the house to make sure they don't drop cups or anything like that on the floor."

"That's pretty careful." Xu Lixin said that she hadn't thought of that. "Then check it out. Be careful."

As soon as Xu Li returned to the room, she heard a slam from the door.
When she returned to the living room, she saw a broken cup on the floor.

"Um, mom, it's like this." Wang Xiaohu awkwardly tried to point at the two little kitten heads that suddenly appeared.

Xu Li sighed: "I think they are quite well behaved."

Wang Xiaohu: "Haha. It was just an accident!"
-
The next morning, as soon as the alarm rang, Xiaoche got out of bed.

The whole person looks quite energetic.

When washing her face, Xiao Che found that the hair on her forehead had grown a lot longer. If it were two years ago, she would definitely have to use the scissors herself.

Now she can't do anything that would hurt herself.

But it has affected her ability to read music while practicing the piano, and it is also troublesome to wash her face.

She was always worried about getting her hair wet.

She should have had a haircut on New Year's Day. It's not that she was too busy during that period and had no time. It's just that the length of her hair at that time didn't affect her at all.

It’s no longer possible now. It has reached the point where she can no longer turn a blind eye.

I fiddled with the hair in front of the mirror for a long time, but no matter how I tried, my bangs still blocked my eyes.

It’s hard to say how much was covered, but that little bit made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiaoche was wondering why this hadn’t happened in the past two days?
Suddenly she realized that she had not showered during the exam.

If you don’t take a shower, you naturally won’t wash your hair. If you don’t wash your hair, your hair will become stiff and will stick out forward. If it sticks out forward, it won’t cover your eyes.

She took a shower after messaging Wang Xiaohu last night. Her hair looked limp today, so she felt it was covering her eyes.

Just bear with it for now, she will find time to cut her hair today.

"Bye Auntie Sang!"

"Take the money and leave."

"no thanks!"

"Slow down on the road."

After the car left, Sang Ping found the water cup that had fallen on the doormat.

Xinxiao was so anxious that she even forgot to take her water cup.
-
Not long after the car started moving, Wang Xiaohu struggled to sit up from the bed.

The first thing Wang Xiaohu did after getting up was to call Xiao Liu despite feeling sleepy.

The moment the call was connected, he was shocked by the sound of a car horn and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Oh my god," Xiao Liu on the other end of the phone was a little angry, "Don't tell me you just woke up!"

Wang Xiaohu suddenly woke up, got out of bed and looked for his slippers, pretending to be awake and said, "I got up early, where have you been?"

"Bullshit!" Xiao Liu didn't believe it at all. "Forget it, forget it. Hurry up, I'll be at Tianhu Avenue soon!"

Wang Xiaohu: "Why are you here so early?"

Xiao Liu: "Didn't you say we would gather outside the classroom at 7:30?!"

Wang Xiaohu: "I said half past eight!"

Xiao Liu: "Look at the chat history yourself!"

With a bang, the phone was hung up.

Wang Xiaohu quickly found the chat record with Xiao Liu last night. What happened? It was really half past seven! ?

Then he opened the chat history with Marco, and it was also 7:30! ! !
"mom!!"

"mom!!!"
-
At 7:35, Marco's father drove to the door of piano classroom No. 4.

"Go ahead son, have fun."

"Goodbye, Dad!"

Xiao Ma got out of the car in a hurry, but found that the entrance of Sigang classroom was eerily quiet.

Xiao Ma thought he was late, but when he took out his phone, he found that he was right.

Gather at 7:30, that's right.

Where are Lao Wang and Lao Liu?

Xiao Ma looked around, confusion written all over his face.
