Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 987 247. Welcome Home
On such a fulfilling and happy afternoon, the children were practicing the piano upstairs, completely unaware that the downstairs was already bustling with activity.

If Liu Fengrui hadn't come out to the bathroom and heard the teacher's voice coming from downstairs, everyone might have practiced for a while longer.

"The teacher is back!"

The teacher is back?!

Isn't the teacher coming back tomorrow?
In the blink of an eye, there was the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, followed by a row of little heads poking out from the stair railing.

"Teacher Chen!!!"

It turns out the real surprise wasn’t that the teacher came back a day early!
In the blink of an eye, Teacher Xiaomi was surrounded by the children.

After not seeing them for more than four months, Chen Xuan saw that the children had changed to varying degrees.

Marco has grown taller.

Wang Xiaohu's voice sounded much more comfortable than before she left.

The little car actually feels a bit like a little girl.

Xiaobei's spirit and energy are completely different from before, and his smile even carries a bit of confidence that he never had before.

"Liu Fengrui, turn sideways so I can see you. Yes, you have indeed lost weight."

"So touching! Thank you Teacher Chen for your insight!!!"

Ha ha ha ha--

"Let's share the chocolate!"

Chen Xuan didn't bring many gifts for the children, just a small pendant and a few chocolates for each one.

Even Zheng Haiyun and Mu Xin, two newcomers who are not interested in the plot, can see that these children really miss their teacher Chen.

As soon as Teacher Chen came back, no one wanted to go upstairs to practice the piano.

"That's enough. Who told you to take a break?"

Under normal circumstances, Li An would definitely be dignified, but today with Teacher Chen as their backer, the children all stood up straight.

Ang Lee's "confrontation" with the children is a good show for the elderly.

"why are you laughing?"

Ang Lee started with Wang Xiaohu, "You spent three hours in the piano room this morning. You went in together and finished together. Don't you know how long you practiced?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher! Teacher Tang is teaching me!"

Li An: "Teacher Tang said that they stayed in your practice room for an hour. How long did you practice in the next two hours? Was it about 40 minutes?

Wang Xiaohu was shocked: “!”

Li An looked at Xiao Bei again: "Are you and Che Lin chatting or practicing piano? But you are okay. You practiced for two hours in three hours."

Xiaobei stuck out his tongue, "Hehe."

"Liu." Li An looked at Xiao Liu again.

Xiao Liu: "Teacher! Although I have only practiced for less than two hours, I can already play without looking at the score."

Marco: "Me too, Teacher!"

Li An nodded: "Half an hour, I will go up and check them one by one according to the order of the parts, and the countdown will start now."

With a whoosh, the children disappeared collectively.

Suddenly, Liu Fengrui once again showed half of his head from the stairs.

"Teacher, my chocolate is still on the table."

"disappear."

"Yes!"

The adults continue with their topic and won’t talk about work today.

Half an hour later, Li Ang left the group chat.

"Choose one of the two. Make your decision quickly."

As for where to welcome Chen Xuan tonight, under everyone's "pressure", Teacher Xiaomi reluctantly chose hotpot.

"We'll have barbecue tomorrow." Haitao continued, "A new store just opened on Yong'an Road. It's quite popular."

Xiaoyun: "Fulu."

Haitao: "Sister, you ate it too?!"

Xiaoyun: "Of course, their beef brisket is so delicious. I went there on the opening day."

Hai Tao: "Oh my god, the breast here is so good, roasted till golden brown, sizzling with oil, and then topped with some dry sauce. I can't describe the taste of it, I fainted after taking a bite."

Suddenly, "Why don't we go today?"

Everyone looked over and saw Teacher Xiaomi really swallowed and said, "Sorry, I just got back and I really can't listen to this."

Mu Xin: “I understand!”

Ha ha ha ha--

"arrange."

Xu Li made the decision immediately.
-
Li An went from room to room upstairs, saying it was an inspection, but in fact it was just an inspection.

During this period, Xu Li and several teachers have prepared all the necessary preparations for the opening, even the invitation letters have been printed.

Now all that’s left is the opening performance by a few children.

After listening to the whole process, Li An had a rough idea in his mind. He was too optimistic before.

I'm afraid it's too late to replicate the stage of the summer camp. This is how a duet is. If one part is not good, the overall effect will be poor.

However, two days of intensive work will allow him to recover most of his strength, which is enough.

"You guys should practice as hard as you can for the next three days."

Naturally, the five children had not yet had enough time to be intimate with their teacher, but they also knew that the teacher definitely did not have time to accompany them today.

"After the concert, let's organize a picnic."

Picnic! ?
"yeah!!!!!!"

Hearing the screams of the children upstairs, the adults downstairs all laughed.

Perhaps only Ang Lee could "torture" these children like this.

Sometimes they are so scared that they run away in panic, and sometimes they are as happy as a group of birds.
-
On the way to lunch, the teachers encountered a traffic jam.

Before reaching Yong'an Road, Li An received Xiaobei's message.

'Teacher, I'm at my grandma's house!'

Xiaobei just said that he wanted to go to his grandma's house by himself, and Li An was still a little worried.

After a while, the information about the car also came.

'Teacher, I'm home!'

While eating, Li An received piano practice videos sent by the children one after another.
-
After the first welcoming banquet for Teacher Xiaomi ended, the second one followed.

Sun Yuman almost went berserk when she saw Chen Xuan.

It took Chen Xuan a lot of coaxing to temporarily calm Teacher Xiaoyu's wounded heart.

The three of them chatted until almost twelve o'clock.

If Li An and Chen Xuan didn't have something else to do tomorrow, Sun Yuman really wanted to stay up all night.

Chen Xuan: "We are all working people, so don't stay up late all the time."

Sun Yuman: "Oh, I see, I see. You two should go back and have some rest. We'll meet again after you finish the concert."

Chen Xuan: "It depends on your schedule. We don't have anything else to do before the New Year, and you're still busy recording the show."

Sun Yuman: "Let's not talk about those trivial things on the stage anymore. It's the 20th, right?"

Chen Xuan: "You'll see what happens then."

Li An: "No, you have to come."

Sun Yuman: "It has to be my brother, it has to be! See you on the 20th, let's go."

After watching Sun Yuman drive away, the two turned and entered the south gate of the community.

"Xiaoyu has made quite a big difference."

"It's work after all."

"I know, it's just a little emotional."

"Don't be sentimental. No one can stay the same forever. I think she is fine the way she is now."

"You don't understand what I mean." "It's enough if you understand. Let's go now. I can't even imagine what the living room looks like now."

As they spoke, the two of them quickened their pace.

Originally, the two planned to go back home in the afternoon, but they ended up taking a taxi directly to the store.
-
"Meow! Meow! Meow!"

"Eighty thousand!"

As soon as the door opened, Chen Xuan picked up the fat orange boy at the door.

As Li An expected, just by looking at the messy entrance, he knew what the living room would look like.

"Come here, Xiaobai, do you recognize me?"

Ang Lee squatted down and stretched out his hand. Xiaobai, who was standing a little further away, stared at Ang Lee vigilantly for a while, then walked over cautiously and touched Ang Lee's hand with his head.

Chen Xuan quickly put down the eighty thousand and turned his gaze to Xiaobai.

"Xiao Baibai, you are so white."

Perhaps because he smelled some familiar scent on Chen Xuan, Xiaobai did not resist the hand extended by Chen Xuan.

"Meow." Xiaobai's voice was a little hoarse.

Here, Li An held Ba Wan and began to check whether there were any signs of urination in the living room. It was not bad.

"Good cat."

After putting down 80,000 yuan, Li An opened all the windows in the house and cleaned the cat's litter box, water bowl and food bowl.

Chen Xuan was not idle either. She let the two little ones play by themselves while she changed the sheets and quilt covers in the bedroom.

"Would you like to do some laundry?" Teacher Xiaomi poked her head out of the bedroom. "I want to clean up the whole house."

"Come on then." Li An nodded and treated it as a spring cleaning before the New Year.

Just do it.

In the next two hours, Ba Wan followed Li Ang and Chen Xuan.

At first, Xiaobai just hid in the corner of the living room. I don’t know when Xiaobai appeared behind Bawan.

The two people and the two cats chased each other, and soon the whole house was tidy again little by little.

Especially after the sheets and quilt covers are hung up, the whole house is filled with the smell of Blue Moon laundry detergent.

This is the taste that makes people yearn for it day and night.

Before the two officially lived together, they also went through such a spring cleaning. After the cleaning, the whole house was filled with this smell.

Chen Xuan still remembers that after work that night, the two of them ordered fried chicken takeout.

The takeaway arrived, and the two sat face to face at the dining table. They both laughed, and no one knew what they were laughing at, but they were just laughing. When they looked at each other, their laughter was even more inexplicable.

At this moment, Chen Xuan really wanted to suggest ordering takeout, but she knew that if she did, it would most likely be wasted, and she just wanted to have a bite.

Putting down the mop in his hand, Teacher Xiaomi wiped his forehead and actually found himself sweating a little.

"The kitchen is done."

Li An returned to the living room and they both collapsed on the sofa.

"what time is it?"

"Two thirty."

"Are we sick? We are cleaning in the middle of the night."

"It seems a bit."

Just then, Li An's cell phone rang.

Chen Xuan subconsciously asked: "Who is it so late?"

"I don't know." Li An looked at the unfamiliar Chengdu number and handed the phone directly to Chen Xuan. "It might be a harassing call."

Chen Xuan: "Why do the harassing calls keep ringing?"

"Then you answer it." Li An said and sat up from the sofa.

Seeing that the phone was still on, Chen Xuan picked up the phone directly.

"Hello, your takeaway has arrived."

Chen Xuan was stunned, and when she turned around, Li An had already opened the door.

"Oh, thank you."

Chen Xuan put down Li An's phone and guessed with a smile: "It can't be fried chicken?"

"Of course not." Li An put down the takeaway box and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of ice cola.

Chen Xuan had already opened the lunch box and prepared gloves for the two of them.

"Watch some TV?"

“It seems to be episode 24.”

"25 episodes."

The two of them were eating fried chicken and watching the unfinished show "The World". After a while, Ba Wanhe jumped onto the sofa.

After a while, Li An took off his gloves and carried Xiaobai, who was beside his feet, to the sofa.

Chen Xuan: "It's so nice to be home. What should I do? I don't want to leave anymore."

Li An: "Let's talk about this later. Let's talk about going home first. Then we'll set off on the 28th, go back to Yanshi first, then go back to Yucheng on the second day, and come back on the sixth day."

Chen Xuan: "Why don't you come back on the seventh day and stay in Yucheng for one more day."

Ang Lee: "Forget it. We have a performance on the 8th and we need to rest on the 7th. Let's do it on the 6th night."

Chen Xuan: "Okay, then the New Year's itinerary is set."

Li An: "Think about what else you'll do during the Chinese New Year?"

Chen Xuan: "Aren't you going to Yanjing?"

Li An: "There's no rush to go to Yanjing. Let's talk about it when I send you off. I have to go anyway."

"No," Chen Xuan stood up and sat up straight, "Why don't you go out in advance? It's the New Year, if this place wasn't opening soon, I would have wanted to accompany you to Yanjing in the next two days."

Li An laughed: "Hey, calm down first."

Chen Xuan: "Are you sure you don't want to go there in advance? Why don't you ask Brother Bo?"

Li An: "You don't need to ask anyone, just listen to me and wait."

Chen Xuan: "Okay, I'm just a little worried. It shouldn't be a problem. Xiaoxing's father has said so."

Li An: "I don't think there's any problem. From Brother Yan's tone, it should be what Mr. Tang meant. But the problem now is that I have already signed a contract with Rong Ai. Don't underestimate this contract. If you really want to pursue it, I am no longer a free agent."

"For example, we are going to Guangzhou for a performance this time. We also have a paper contract and we have to go through the process."

"Xiao Xing's father meant that Tang Qianfeng hasn't decided which show to arrange for me yet, so he asked Brother Yan to tell me in advance about this. Then Rong Ai will definitely notify me officially."

Chen Xuan: "The best performance was definitely a large concerto with the Amsterdam Symphony Orchestra."

Ang Lee: "Of course, but don't forget one thing. Can we get the repertoire? The repertoire and performers for the Grand Theater's programs are usually decided three months in advance. Once the program preview is released, it's set in stone."

Chen Xuan: "Have some confidence in yourself."

Ang Lee: "Unless I know what the repertoire is, I can't really say for sure. My idea is that I can collaborate with a small orchestra on a chamber music piece. The venue doesn't matter at all."

"Okay," Chen Xuan said, yawning, "I won't be able to come back by then anyway, so I'll wish Teacher Li a great success in his next performance. What time will you go to the teacher tomorrow?"

Li An: "In the afternoon, I have to send out the invitations tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and we'll have as many people as possible come."

Chen Xuan: "What do you need me to do?"

Li An: "Just prepare your repertoire well. Go find a piano room in the store to practice with the kids tomorrow."

Chen Xuan: "Okay, let's go to sleep?"

Lee Ang: "Sleep"

After clinking their Coke cups, Chen Xuan turned off the TV and Li Ang cleaned up the coffee table.

Then the two of them washed up and went to bed quickly.

If I don’t sleep a little longer, I really won’t be able to get up.

"Welcome home."

"Mmmmm."

"Good night."

"Good night."
-
Three days passed in a flash, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

There are still four hours until the opening concert of Piano No. 4 officially begins.
