Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1050 310. Simulation of three generations living together [Part ]

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Liu."

What Lao Liu found out was similar to what Sister Zhang said on the phone.

The old man felt dizzy after lunch and was taken to the hospital by his son.

Later, the house was rented to a couple from Northeast China, who also had a child in this house.

A couple from Northeast China bought the house before the New Year and just moved out after the New Year.

It was somewhat of a fate. The old couple were both teachers and were well-loved by their neighbors.

"Okay, Master Liu, please hurry up."

After Lao Liu hung up the phone, Li An thought about finding an opportunity to treat Lao Liu to a meal, as he had helped him twice.

Back in the restaurant, Li An rejoined the dinner. The two children had almost finished their first bowl.

"Is it over?" asked An's mother.

Li An: "Eat, eat."

After taking a bite of noodles and a bite of diced meat, Ang Lee suddenly felt like he was back home.

There are only two flavors in the world that have this function, one is the mutton noodles made by Lao Li, and the other is the radish dumplings made by An Ma.

Perhaps this is another microcosm of parents being at home.

Under the dim light, looking at his parents' smiles, listening to the laughter of his two children, and holding the noodles in his hand, Li An thought that if Chen Xuan was also at home, that would be the happiest time.

The two children finished eating at the same time and took their bowls to the kitchen together.

Each person scooped another half bowl, and there was still some left in the pot.

"You two haven't finished serving yet?" Old Li knew there was still food left in the pot as soon as he looked at the two children's bowls.

Xiaoche: "Grandpa, I'm full after eating this."

Wang Xiaohu: “Me too!”

Li An knew that the two children were left for him, "Okay, Dad, let them eat less at night."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen and scooped up the last bit of soup base.

After dinner, Xiaoche went to wash the fruits and Wang Xiaohu brought the squeezed watermelon juice.

Then the two children sat obediently at the dinner table, listening to their grandparents talk about the teacher's childhood, and occasionally interjecting with a smile.

"Are you two still writing today?" Old Li suddenly asked.

Li An: "Are you guys still doing your homework today?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher, I understand! I won't write it anymore, Grandpa. Tomorrow is the weekend."

Xiaoche: "I'll write it on the weekend."

Old Li finally reacted: "Yes, yes, if you don't go to school tomorrow, what else are you two going to learn besides piano?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I also learned conducting, vocal music, clarinet and swimming."

An's mother: "Wow, you are really amazing, Linlin."

Xiao Che smiled shyly: "Grandma, I only learn piano."

Wang Xiaohu added: "Grandma, Che Lin's piano level is the best among her age group in Chengdu! She just won the gold medal of the Chengdu Cup last year, and then our best junior high school called her family and wanted to admit her directly, without taking an exam and for free."

Xiaoche: "Grandpa and grandma, don't listen to his nonsense. Many of my classmates can play the piano better than me."

Wang Xiaohu: "Grandpa and grandma, you can ask the teacher."

Old Li knew about Xiaoche's schooling and smiled: "I don't need to ask anyone, I know you two are both excellent children."

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "The teacher taught me well."

Xiaoche followed with a chuckle: "The teacher taught well."

Li Anle: "Okay, stop flattering me. I need to keep working hard in the new semester, don't you hear me?"

The two children said in unison: "I heard it!"

Old Li looked at his watch and said, "Anzi, let's go now. Let the two kids relax. They've been working hard for a week."

Wang Xiaohu: "Grandpa, we are not tired!"

Li An: "Where are you going?"

Lao Li: "Hotel."

Li An: “I haven’t decided yet.”

"Ah?" Old Li Meng urged, "Then hurry up and book it for us now."

Li An smiled: "Now let's decide where to go."

Old Li immediately understood that Li An deliberately did not order them.
Seeing this, Xiaoche said coquettishly, "Grandpa and grandma, please don't leave."

Wang Xiaohu shuddered when he heard that, and paused, "That's right, Grandpa and Grandma, if you don't want to live here, you can go live at my house. My house is in the neighborhood next door, and there are many empty rooms."

Li An: "It's not that I don't want to book it for you. Chen Xuan has repeatedly told me not to let you move out. She already ordered you to live in the big house before she left. I've already made a bed on the floor of my study. Why are you going out to mess around for just a few days?"

Old Li looked at An's mother with some embarrassment. It's not that there is no room for her to stay here.

"Grandpa and grandma, please don't leave. I still want to eat pulled noodles." Xiaoche continued to act coquettishly, "I want to eat it three more times."

Li An: "I want to eat it four times."

Wang Xiaohu: "I want to eat it every day! Grandpa and grandma, please stay in Chengdu and don't leave!"

Mother An was amused by Wang Xiaohu and decided to stay. "Okay, as long as you like it, I'll cook it for you every day."

Old Li sighed helplessly: "Well, how about your mother and I live in the study room, and you can sleep in the bedroom."

Xiaoche: "Grandpa and grandma, I can sleep in the study room. You can sleep in the big bedroom, and the teacher can sleep in the small bedroom."

Wang Xiaohu: "Live in my house, live in my house!"

Li An: "No one should argue, just listen to me. I can't sleep early these days, so living in the study will be convenient for work. Okay, it's settled. Wang Xiaohu, you can play for a while?"

Wang Xiaohu sighed slightly: "Teacher, I actually want to ask if there is a place for me on the sofa, but I know! If I stay for another half an hour, I will leave, hehe."

Li An: "Okay, okay, I'll let you stay for another hour. See you in the store tomorrow morning."

Wang Xiaohu: "Grandpa and grandma are going too?"

Li An: "Let's go and take a look together."

Wang Xiaohu: “Yeah!”

Later, Li An helped the old couple make the bed in the master bedroom and chatted with them for a while. During this time, Xiao Che washed the dishes and Wang Xiaohu cleared the table.

When An's mother came out to clean up, she found that all the work had been done by the two children.

Wang Xiaohu: "Grandpa and grandma, you guys should go to bed early. I'm leaving now!"

Lao Li: "Xiaohu, don't you want to play for a while?"

Wang Xiaohu: "No more playing. I have some music writing to do when I get home."

Everyone laughs.

Mother An: "Ask your teacher to take you back."

Wang Xiaohu: "No need, grandma, I'll be home in five minutes, see you tomorrow, grandpa and grandma."

Old Li took out two boxes of local specialties from the box and asked Wang Xiaohu to take them. "See you tomorrow, kid."

The car took Wang Xiaohu to the elevator door and said, "You did a good job today."

Wang Xiaohu said happily: "Of course, see you tomorrow!"

Xiaoche: "I may not go to the store tomorrow morning."

Wang Xiaohu: "What's the matter?"

Xiaoche: "It's time to record the video soon. The teacher should ask me to stay home and practice the competition song. I haven't practiced in the past few days."

Wang Xiaohu: "That's all piano rooms."

Xiaoche: "It's quieter at home."

Wang Xiaohu: “Yeah, come on!”

Xiaoche: "Yeah! Bye."

Wang Xiaohu: "Good night."
-
As Xiaoche expected, when she returned to the room, the teacher called her to the study.

Li An: "I feel like I'm doing OK these past two days."

Xiao Che: “Yes.” Li An nodded: “Tomorrow morning, just practice at home and go through the competition pieces in order. You need to find the feeling of switching between the pieces and the emotions. Although the video is recorded in one shot, you are still playing in front of the microphone. In the competition, you will be playing in front of the audience and judges.”

“It is not an easy task to play five pieces with different personalities in one go.”

Xiaoche: "Teacher, I understand."

Ang Lee: "Of course, I believe you have no problem. Rehearse it in advance and pay attention to the emotional changes when switching between tracks. Try to be as prepared as possible before starting the next song."

Xiaoche: "Well, teacher, you can sleep in the cabin."

Li An: "I like to sleep on the floor. If you don't believe me, go out and ask. During this time, you should stay in your little house peacefully. Do you understand?"

Xiaoche: "Teacher, I'm going to watch TV with my grandparents for a while."

Li An: "Go ahead."
-
At half past nine, Li An brought a large pot of milk.

The three people, young and old, each had a bowl. After drinking, Xiaoche said goodnight to the old couple.

Then Ang Lee watched TV with the old couple for a while.

Before going to bed, Lao Li wanted to get some fresh air, so the father and son went downstairs and lit a cigarette.

"How are the two kids?"

"They are all good kids. How come Wang Xiaohu's father is missing?"

"Car accident."

"Hey, you have to drive carefully."

"Don't worry, Dad." After a pause, "Hey, Dad, can you see the balcony on the second-to-last floor of that building that has no windows sealed?"

Old Li looked over and said, "The one without the lights on. Is that the one you like?"

Li An: "Yes, I asked someone and found out that there is no problem with the house."

Old Li was stunned. What was he talking about?

Then Li An confessed the situation of the house to Lao Li.

After listening to this, Old Li said, "I don't think it's a big deal, as long as Xiao Chen's family has no objection. As you said, it's not an unexpected death, it can be considered a natural death, and eighty-seven is considered a long life."

Li An: "My mother."

Lao Li: "Your mother listens to you."

Li An: "She thinks these things are unlucky. I'm worried that she will feel uncomfortable."

Lao Li waved his hand: "Your mother has been much better in the past two years."

Li An: "Because of grandpa?"

Lao Li: "Life and death are determined by fate. No one can do anything about it. Your mother has let it go. Now she is just wondering when you can settle down. She didn't say anything about Xiao Chen. She just wants you to get married quickly. Then she will feel relieved. You know."

Li An nodded: "I know, she just won't say it."

Lao Li: "So if you think this house is good, then buy it and start decorating it right away."

Lee Ang: “That’s what I planned too.”

Lao Li: "I see you are very busy now."

Li An sighed, "It's okay. There are definitely more things to do than before."

The grandfather and his wife walked around the small garden. When they returned home, Li An asked the old couple to wash up and go to bed early, as they had been busy all day.

After settling the old couple, Li An returned to the study, chatted with Chen Xuan for a while, and then went to sleep.

Li An didn't know that he was the first person to fall asleep in the room.

The desk lamp in the next room was still on, and Xiaoche was doing his homework late into the night.

Although the lights in the big house next door were off, the old couple were still talking in low voices.

As Lao Li expected, An's mother had no objection to the house issue, but the old couple were worried about the decoration issue.

My son is so busy, who will oversee the decoration?

Lao Li is a carpenter by training and is familiar with plumbing and electricity. He is absolutely unwilling to hand over the entire work of his house to a decoration company.

When Li was renovating the store, Old Li would call every now and then to ask about the progress. With the help of Xiaohu's grandfather and Xu Li to help oversee the decoration, Old Li felt relieved.

But they are renovating their own house, so they can't ask others to help and keep an eye on it.

Mother An: "If not, you can just come and keep an eye on it. It won't hurt to have another year."

As a special worker in the mine, Lao Li can apply for early retirement. In fact, Lao Li could have applied four years ago.

Although the pension is large, it is definitely not as high as the salary while working after taking all the subsidies into account.

Furthermore, the pension and one-time retirement subsidy for retiring on time are more than those for retiring early.

So Lao Li has been trying hard to hold on until he reaches a certain age, to put it bluntly, it's all for the sake of making a few more bucks.

It’s not that Mr. Li doesn’t need the money now, the key is that his son really needs his help.

After a long pause, "Yeah."

Lao Li: "My case is easy. Let's see when his house can be delivered."

Mother An: "Retreat."

Lao Li: "Retreat, it's no big deal."

Mother An: "You can also take a rest."

Lao Li: "Why are you taking a break? You still have to come and help him."

Anma Le: "I see you can't wait to come here and cook for people every day."

Lao Li: "Hey, I'll go back after I'm done helping you. I don't want to stay here."

Mother An: "Well, I'll see if you're willing to go back then."

Lao Li: "If I don't go back, what will you do? You won't have enough food to eat."

An's mother: "Oh, just forget it. It's not good for one of us to leave the other."

Old Li laughed: "Why, you still want to divorce me?"

Mother An spat, "Go to sleep quickly. I still have to make breakfast for the baby tomorrow morning."

"Sleep," Old Li lay down and turned over, "You know what, Che Lin is such a good kid."

Mother An: "He is very sensible. I said I was going to wash the dishes, but he didn't finish them all. He also cut the vegetables better than adults. You can imagine how old he is, but he can play the piano so well."

Lao Li: "Ah, I was a miserable kid before, but Anzi also said that stepmother is a good person."

An's mother: "The baby will definitely become a successful person in the future. And the little tiger, I think this little thing is very smart."

Speaking of Wang Xiaohu, Lao Li grinned and said, "You know what, Xiaohu and Anzi looked a bit alike when they were kids. They were both very cunning. Look at the bright eyes. I would say that these two kids will have great things when they grow up."

Mother An: "After coming to Chengdu, we have become grandparents."

Lao Li: “That’s right.”

Mother An: "I said, go to sleep. I see there are spinach and eggs in the refrigerator. I will make you some spinach soup and some egg pancakes tomorrow morning."

Lao Li suddenly remembered something: "The cat is no longer in the house."

An's mother: "You are still afraid of a cat. Anzi has been taken out long ago."
-
At 1:30 in the morning, Xiaoche closed his math book and yawned.

On the desk, Ba Wan was lying on the left and Xiao Bai was lying on the right.

"You two should be good at night and don't disturb grandpa and grandma's sleep."

Supporting Lao Li and Li An downstairs, Xiaoche took the cat litter box and food bowl to his own little room.

"Goodnight Bawan, goodnight Xiaobai."

After setting the alarm for 6:30, Xiaoche fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

The alarm clock rang early in the morning. Xiaoche got up drowsily, resisting the strong sleepiness and started to touch her clothes. She was going downstairs to buy breakfast.

As a result, I quietly walked into the living room and found that there was movement in the kitchen.

She walked over and found her grandmother making breakfast.

"grandmother."

Mother An turned around and said, "Linlin, why aren't you sleeping? Go back and get some more sleep. After you're full, get up and eat. That way you'll have enough energy to practice the piano."

Just like that, he returned to the cabin in a daze and fell headfirst onto the bed.

It’s great to have a grandma.

Grandma is so nice.
