Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1061. Lao Li's Happiness Warm-up? Future Vision
I finally got the interview done. Even though I didn’t do much, two hours passed in a very short time.

Mr. Zhao and Li An chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Guo Jianliang for a while and finally parted at the bank entrance.

Next, wait for the bank's review.

Once the bank reviews it, it means that Li Ang’s conditions are fine and he can apply for a loan.

Afterwards, both parties can sign the contract online and pay the down payment and taxes to the Housing Authority. After completing these, Li Ang can get the house title on the same day.

Lao Zhao: "I estimate it will take three days. It may take less than three days for the review to be approved."

Li An: "Then the online signing will be next week."

Lao Zhao: "Well, you pick a date. When the time comes to get the property title, the date will be the date on your property certificate."

Lee Ang: "It doesn't matter. The sooner the better."

Lao Zhao: "Then let's coordinate with them on Monday."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhao." Li An said as he took out four packs of cigarettes from the trunk.

Old Zhao knew he couldn't refuse, so he didn't say anything polite, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

Li An waved his hand and said, "I won't say hello to Manager Hu. Please say hello for me."

Old Zhao nodded: "Don't worry."

Li An was anxious to go home: "Then Brother Zhao, let's stop here today."

Lao Zhao: “Keep in touch at any time.”

After smoking, they both got into their cars.
-
The kitchen at home is bustling with activity.

The old couple started preparing dinner at noon. After Xu Li brought Wang Xiaohu, they went into the kitchen to help.

Wang Xiaohu was arranged to work in the study room by Lao Li.

Brother Xiaohu had already finished his homework at school, and he was studying Conan's score before dinner.

We'll have a rehearsal tomorrow night.

When Ang Lee got home at 6:40, it was actually time for dinner.

But the car didn't finish the evening study until 7:30,

Li An said he didn't want to wait for the car anymore, and Xu Li and Lao Li both said they would wait.

"Xiaohu, would you like to have some lamb ribs first?" Mother An asked Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu patted his stomach and said, "Grandma, I'm not hungry. Let's wait for Che Lin."

Since we have to wait, then let’s wait. Lao Li asked if he wanted to go and pick it up.

Li An: "No, she rides an electric bike very fast."

While waiting for the car, Li An talked about the interview.

Xu Li: "Then we can sign the contract online next Monday."

Lao Li: "Do you have to pay people for online signing?"

Li An: "Yes, you can get the property title deed right on the spot, and the house is considered bought."

Old Li grinned: "Okay, when we get the property deed, take a photo for us."

Xu Li: "Uncle and aunt, your flight is on Sunday at noon."

Mother An: "Yes, 12:40 noon."

Wang Xiaohu: "Ah? Grandpa and grandma, you're leaving on Sunday?"

Li Anle: "Why don't you go back with me and stay in Yucheng to go to school? You can eat pulled noodles every day."

Wang Xiaohu thought about it and said, "It's not impossible, okay, Mom?"

Xu Li smiled: "If grandpa and grandma are willing to take you in, I definitely have no objection."

Lao Li: "Do you want to go, Xiaohu?"

Wang Xiaohu chuckled: "I still have to learn piano from my teacher."

While they were chatting, the sound of the living room door opening was heard, and Bawan Xiaobai ran over immediately.

The car is back.

"Pull the noodles!"

Li An asked his parents to have a rest, and he would make noodles today.
-
The warm and happy dinner time could not last that long, because Xiaoche still had to do his homework and make up for the missed two days.

Xu Li also took Wang Xiaohu back home.

"Shall we have a couple more drinks?" Li An asked Lao Li.

Lao Li: "No more drinking. I haven't recovered from what I drank yesterday."

An's mother: "Anzi, aren't you busy at night?"

Li An: "We have nothing to do tonight, let's go out for a walk later."

Lao Li: "Don't go out. Come and sit down. Your mother and I have something to discuss with you."

The family of three came to the bedroom, and Li An closed the door. "What's the matter, Dad?"

Lao Li: "I discussed with your mother and if it doesn't work out, I will apply for early retirement."

Li An: "Do it, do it when you get back!"

Lao Li: "Listen to me, you have bought the house, and now you need to renovate it. At first I was worried that you were busy and no one would watch over you, so your mom and I said I would come to check on the renovations. Does that mean we can withdraw money?"

"When you were not back just now, Xiao Xu and I chatted for a while. She said that Xiao Zhao, the person who helped you with the house, you didn't tell me at the beginning. Xiao Xu said that we can leave the decoration to him and don't have to worry about anything. I think so. We have seen Xiao Xu's character, including your relationship. She told us not to worry, so there will be no problem."

Li An: "And then?"

Lao Li: "If someone helps you keep an eye on the renovation, you won't need me anymore. Then I'll go back to work. It's less than a year anyway, so I'll just finish it."

Li An: "I would have to talk to you about this even if you didn't come to me. Back off, Dad. I really need your help. I'm very busy this semester and I can't take care of the decoration. No matter what Sister Xu says, we will live in this house in the end, so we can't be careless. For example, installing windows is so dangerous. We need someone to watch over us. The workers are so brave now."

"You see, my shop is well-equipped. The workers' skills are fine, but those who climb up the ladder never wear safety belts. What if something goes wrong? Keeping an eye on the workers and following the formal operating procedures is your specialty, isn't it?"

Lao Li: "Yes, yes, so I am discussing this with you. If you need me to be here, I will go back and do it. I have also called the department this afternoon. I can return it at any time after filling out the documents."

Li An sighed in his heart. He had been worried for the past two days that his father would not want to retire. "What will the impact be if you retire now?"

Old Li: "It doesn't have much of an impact. After I retire, I will be paid according to my pension. Then I will just have to wait for the factory to pay me another sum of money later."

Li An: "Then I congratulate Mr. Li in advance. Should we hold a retirement ceremony?"

Lao Li: "Just give them a lousy card, nothing else."

Li An: "Let's make one ourselves."

Lao Li: "No, no, it's too troublesome. Let's make a deal. I'll go back and get the materials. After I finish this month, I won't have to go to class starting next month."

Li An: "Ah, do we have to finish this month? Can't we just not finish it? It's only the beginning of the month."

Lao Li: "It will be April before you can start installing here. You have to destroy it first before you can install it."

Li An: "Dad, ask."

Mother An: "Yes, ask again."

Old Li curled his lips and said, "No need to ask, it's always like this. Xu Pengfei only missed one day and finished the month."

Li An thought that it should be no problem to ask Li Hua about this matter. Why can it be so strict? It's just a matter of one word from the leader. "Well, Dad, you can ask when you go back. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, forget it. Anyway, I will definitely start the construction this month."

Li An looked at An's mother and said, "Mom, come over when you have a day off. The air tickets are very cheap."

Mother An: "Don't worry about me. I'm having a great time at home. I came here just to see you and meet Teacher Wei. That's all. Just hurry up and decorate the house."

Old Li: "Your mother can't always come here. Your grandpa is still lying there. I will just go back after showing you the decoration. When I go back, I will have to arrange your wedding. You can't hold the wedding in Chengdu."

Li An: "Yes, that's it. Dad, you guys go watch TV. I'm going to go buy some things."
-
Li An lit a cigarette as he walked out of the unit door, found Li Hua's number on his mobile phone and called her.

After a moment, the phone was connected. "Hello, brother."

"Busy or not."

"I want to ask you something."

"I want my dad to retire early."

"Yeah, he could have done it a long time ago. I'm going to decorate my house in a few days, and there's no one to help me watch it."

After explaining the whole story, Li An then asked, "My dad said it will be done soon, but I have to wait until April 1st before I don't have to go to work."

"No, no, no, you're from the safety department of Sandie's operation team, you don't have to worry about this."

Li An: "Thank you for your help, big brother."

Li Hua: "Why bother with my family? It just so happened that the director of operations asked me to get him something a few days ago. He is in charge of this matter."

Li An: "Then I don't care about this matter, brother. I didn't tell my father."

Li Hua: "I understand. When the time comes, just ask Sandie to prepare the materials and apply."

Li An: "Okay, big brother, we'll talk about it later."

After hanging up the phone, Li An went to the South Gate to find Lao Liu and asked about the start of the renovation work.

Lao Liu said to go to the property management to apply for renovation directly, "Just pay a renovation deposit, it seems to be two thousand, but this money will probably not be returned. Teacher Li, you must be doing a big renovation, right?"

Li An: "It's not really a big show."

Lao Liu: "Do you want to move the wall?"

Li An: "We have to move."

Lao Liu: "If you move the wall, you are changing the structure of the house, which is against the rules. The property management company will use this as an excuse not to refund you."

"When you pay the deposit, they will tell you that you don't need to return the money and it will be transferred directly to the property management fee. They will give you a receipt, and when the renovation is finished, you can take the receipt to them to transfer it to you. Anyway, they can transfer more than half of the property management fee to you after some negotiation. Some owners have done it this way before."

Li An: "It depends on the person."

Old Liu shook his head: "This bunch of people."

Li An smiled: "Okay, you go ahead, I'll go buy something."

It is expected that we will have to stay in the concert hall from 3pm tomorrow until some time in the evening, so Ang Lee has to buy some water, bread and other things in advance for the teachers.
-
The next morning, the car went to school and Li An took the old couple to a nearby park.

There were people dancing, boxing, playing chess, and an old man playing the saxophone.

Li An: "Dad, you can come here every morning and play chess with them. It will be so pleasant."

Lao Li: "I am a terrible chess player, but I am still playing chess with others."

Li An: "We can't win or lose, it's just for fun. When you come, mom, we can dance and exercise."

Mother An: "Okay, then I'll buy some groceries and cook for you."

Li An: "Are you happy, dad?"

Lao Li: "I don't want to live with you. If your mother is willing, she will take care of your child. I will rent a house nearby and you can come and eat with me when the time comes."

Li An: "I don't want to live with you guys yet. I hear you nagging me every day. Didn't I tell you that I will definitely have to buy another house for you and my mom to live in?"

Lao Li smiled: "Then I'll wait."

As he said this, Lao Li really felt that he had retired.

Finally retired.

Seeing his son so successful, Mr. Li felt indescribably proud and gratified.

In fact, it doesn’t matter where he and his wife live in the future, nor does he care how much money his son can earn. As long as his son and his family are safe and sound, that’s more important than anything else.

"Anzi, if you have nothing to do in the morning, take your mom to the school. Your mom has never been to where you go to school."

Li An: "That's perfect. I'll have lunch with Ji Yang at school at noon."

Old Li: "Oh, that one, the one who came to our house during the Chinese New Year two years ago. Her father drove the car, and so did her mother."

Li An: "Yes, it's her. She has been talking about coming to see you these past few days. I wanted to call her last night, but I was afraid that it would delay Linlin's writing. So I thought of asking her to come over to my house for lunch today."

Mother An: "Then we won't leave school. Let her come at noon. We'll go back to make dinner soon. We'll also take care of Linlin."

Li An: "It's okay, Mom. Linlin can just have some noodles downstairs."

Old Li: "No, no, let the baby come over. The baby is fine. I feel so bad for him."

Mother An: "I just feel bad for it. I just remember sitting there and chewing on a lamb leg. It was so delicious. I'll get you another lamb leg at noon. Let's go and get the lamb leg back."

Li An: "Then I'll take you around the school in a couple of days."

Mother An: "You can come next time. It's not like you won't come. Your father just said that."

Just like that, the old couple returned home and became busy again.

Fortunately, I didn't go to Rongyuan. Not long after I got home, Lao Zhao called and asked where Li An was.

Yesterday afternoon, Lao Zhao forgot to ask Li An for the key to 2201, so the bank will arrange for an appraisal agency to conduct an on-site appraisal of the house this morning.

Although it's just a formality, I still have to go in and take a look.

"Brother Zhao, I'm at home. Do you need me on the scene later?"

Lao Zhao: "No, what do you need later?"

Li An: "It's okay, please tell me."

Lao Zhao: "I'll be there in 20 minutes, let's meet and talk."

After hanging up the phone, Li An said goodbye to his mother and went out.

Lao Li came out from the kitchen: "Where is he?"

Mother An: "Just say you're going out for a while, maybe something's up."

Lao Li: "Didn't he say he was fine this morning?"

After a pause, he said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Help me pour out the water in the bucket."
-
Twenty minutes later, Lao Zhao arrived at 2201.

Li An: "What did Brother Zhao say?"

Lao Zhao: "I just contacted Mr. Guo, and they said there would be no problem signing the contract online on Monday. Then I discussed with them whether we could have the window sealer come to our house to measure the dimensions first. They agreed, and then you can see if it is necessary."

Li An: "It hasn't been smashed yet, can we measure it now?"

Lao Zhao: "I mean to ask the window installer to take a rough measurement first and come up with a few plans, such as what layout and color you want. You can decide on the plan first. When the time comes, they will definitely have to come back to measure it, and then they can start installing the windows. It's fast and can be done in one day."

"The slow part is finalizing the plan. You can finalize the plan first, and then they can directly ask the factory to do it after re-measuring. After demolishing and clearing the site, they can start installation directly, which can save a lot of time."

Li An: "I see. Then let the master come to measure it. The master who comes to measure it is the manufacturer who will make the glass, right?"

Lao Zhao: "I will arrange for two companies to come and measure, and let them each make a proposal and quote, and you will make the final decision."

Li An: "Thank you, Brother Zhao."

Lao Zhao waved his hand: "Try to save time for you."

Ang Lee: "Are there any other projects that we can prepare for in advance?"

Lao Zhao: "I don't have any other projects that can be started in advance. I have to wait for Huang Guohua to produce the blueprints. I dare not move without the blueprints. However, you have to discuss the window layout and frame color with him. When he designs the whole house, he will plan the space at the entrance door. If you are undecided about the style and color of the windows, just let him decide."

Li An praised repeatedly: "Even the entrance door can be designed."

Old Zhao laughed and said, "There's a lot of space at the door of our house. We can basically use the two elevators and two households as one elevator and one household. If the space at the door is used well, it's like having another small storage room."

Li An felt very refreshed after hearing this: "Hey, Zhao, how much does Huang Design charge for home decoration design?"

Old Zhao opened his mouth when he heard the question, but was stumped for a moment.

In the new year, I hope all my friends will have prosperity, good weather and good health.
