Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1080 340. All-round work started! Live broadcast preview
The father and son came to the parking lot and put the luggage in the trunk. Old Li got on the passenger seat and asked Li Ang why the demolition had not been completed yet.

“It’s been almost a week.”

Li An: "Don't mention it. Do you know how difficult that job is? Fortunately, the three bedrooms were paved with floors before. If they were all paved with tiles, we wouldn't be able to finish the demolition tomorrow."

Lao Li: "Why is it so troublesome? It will only take a while to clean it up with an electric hammer."

Li An: "It's not enough to just clean the tiles. There's a layer of cement underneath. Didn't people lay the tiles with cement?"

Lao Li understood immediately: "Oh, I thought the cement was not moving, so I just leveled it."

Li An sighed, "This plan is easy, but the floor of the whole room will have to be raised by five to ten centimeters. We are going to install central air conditioning anyway, so if we don't knock out all the cement, we will have to raise the threshold of the entrance door after re-laying the bricks."

Lao Li: "Yes, yes, that's troublesome. Cement is not easy to clean. It's hard stuff."

Li An: "Please be a little more careful. The height of the roof can be more comfortable."

Lao Li: “Yes.”

Li An had a book club class in the afternoon, so he had to send Lao Li home first.

"Dad, you take a rest first. I'll be back from get out of class at 5:30 and we'll eat downstairs."

"Go ahead, don't worry about me."

"The keys are on the coffee table. Call me if you need anything."

After settling his father, Li Ang then headed towards the book man.
-
This semester's club classes have officially started at 4:30 pm on Tuesday and Thursday.

The class time has not changed, but one more class has been added than last semester. The fee for the extra class will be borne by the Art Center.

Liu Zhen also fulfilled his promise before the start of the school year, and once again assured Li An that if the teaching results this semester were excellent, the school would bear the salaries of all the teachers in the orchestral club in the next semester.

If the school does not cover half of Li An's tuition fees this semester, Li An will have to pay an additional 16,000 yuan out of his own pocket every month to pay the tuition fees of the club teachers.

In other words, if the school can cover all the teachers' tuition fees next semester, Ang Lee will have another 16,000 yuan less in expenses.

The total amount is thirty-two thousand!
Although the musical instruments sold well this time, it couldn’t stop the number of teachers increasing.

That's it for this semester for now.

In any case, I have to come up with something new for this semester's final report and get the teachers' full tuition fees for next semester first.

"Attend class."

At 4:30 sharp, fifteen types of orchestral and piano percussion courses started on the second, third and fourth floors of the comprehensive building.
-
Old Li couldn't sit still after resting for a while at home.

As soon as Li An's class started, he took his keys and prepared to go to 2201 for a look around.

"Cat go."

When Lao Li got dressed and was about to go out, Ba Wan lay at the door, as if deliberately blocking anyone from entering or leaving.

Seeing that Ba Wan didn't move, Lao Li pointed his finger at Ba Wan and threatened, "I'm not like your master. I'm going to hit you."

Ba Wan simply stretched out on the spot, exposing his belly.

Old Li was amused by Ba Wan's rogue appearance and grinned, "You two-faced brat, go!"

Old Li shouted and waved his hand, and Bawan jumped up and rushed into the living room.

It is indeed hot in Chengdu. When Lao Li got on the train, he was still very cold in this outfit. But now that he is here, he starts sweating whenever he moves.

As soon as he walked out of the unit door, Mr. Li heard the sound of an electric hammer. He looked up and saw that it was coming from Building 36.

I walked towards the sound and after a few steps I entered the door of a unit on the 36th floor.

In fact, today is the last day of demolition. In fact, only a little bit of the wall of the second bedroom is left. In order to help Li Ang meet the deadline, Lao Ma found two more workers in the morning.

But just to be on the safe side, Lao Ma told Li Ang that the entire demolition could only be completed tomorrow.

At this moment, Lao Ma was directing four workers to load and demolish the garbage, while supervising another worker to do the final bit of demolition work.

Just then, Lao Ma heard the elevator door open, turned around and saw Lao Li walking in.

Old Li didn't wait for Old Ma to speak and directly stated that he was Li Ang's father.

"Hello, uncle."

Lao Ma looked around and couldn't find a place to sit. Lao Ma waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me. What's your name?"

Old Ma: "My last name is Ma, and I'm the person in charge of our construction site."

It turned out that this was Lao Ma. Lao Li had heard Li An mention Lao Ma Lao Ma on the phone these past few days. He thought he was an old man, as he looked quite young. "Thank you for your hard work, Master Ma. I came to take a look. I think the demolition will be almost finished today."

Lao Ma looked around and said, "This is the last bit today. I'll have the workers take away all the garbage soon. We'll start building the walls tomorrow. The water, electricity, and central air conditioning can also be put in place."

Lao Li nodded and said, "You are busy, I will go around by myself."

"Uncle, please be careful." Lao Ma hurriedly followed Lao Li to the balcony.

The entire balcony has been opened up, and because there are no sealed windows, standing on the balcony now feels like standing on a suspended diving platform.

Old Li didn't dare to move forward, "When will the windows be installed?"

Lao Ma: "Next Wednesday to Thursday, we will build a protective net here and on the north side."

Lao Li nodded: "We have to do it. It's too dangerous."

Then Lao Li went to the north to take a look. The north side was even more frightening. All the exterior walls had been demolished. "Master Ma, can the kitchen's exterior wall also be demolished?"

Lao Ma: "It can be demolished. We have confirmed the structural diagram of the house again and again. There are more than a dozen households in the entire community that have undergone renovations. There is no problem."

Lao Li: "Will it also be glass by then?"

Lao Ma: “Yes.”

Old Li leaned forward and asked, "How do you fix the window frame?"

Lao Ma: "Twenty-five centimeters of concrete beam."

Lao Li: "Do you water the model?"

Hearing this, Old Ma thought that this old man was quite knowledgeable: "Yes, yes, we will build it together with the wall tomorrow."

Lao Li knocked on the outer edge of the wall with his walking stick and said, "This place must be made solid."

Old Ma smiled: "Don't worry."

Lao Li nodded and said, "Let me help you pack the garbage."

As he put down his crutches, he was about to bend down to pick up the broken tiles. Old Ma was so scared that he quickly stepped forward to support him, "Uncle, you can't do this job. We can do it."

If the old man sprains his waist, Marco cannot take the responsibility.

Then Lao Li asked about the issue of suspended ceiling, and Lao Ma explained it to Lao Li in detail.
-
Without getting involved, Mr. Li walked around the house and went home.

After six o'clock, Li An also came back, and as soon as they met, he "scolded" Lao Li.

"You can't sit still any more, just let the workers do the work and don't interfere."

Just now, Lao Ma called him to report on today's work progress and tomorrow's work arrangements, and mentioned Lao Li by the way.

Old Li also had something to say: "What am I here for? Just to help you with the decoration."

Li An: "Just look at it, don't stretch your arms or legs."

Old Li sighed, then smiled and said, "Well, I guess I can only help pick up the trash. I asked that Master Ma how to make a suspended ceiling. I can understand what he said, but the process is quite complicated and I have never done it before, so I guess I can't help."

Li An: "The tools are useless."

Lao Li: "Is it okay to put it here? It doesn't take up much space. Anyway, he said the ceiling won't crack. It's fine if it doesn't crack. I'm just worried that the ceiling will crack. Do you think I'm willing to work and get dirty?" Li Anle: "That's right."

Lao Li: "Master Ma said that he would decide on a plan tomorrow. Are you still going over?"

Li An: "We have to go tomorrow. Tomorrow is a big event. The heads of the central air conditioning, water and electricity, and windows must all go there to coordinate the next plan. Otherwise, if any link goes wrong, it will be a big problem to rework it."

The father and son were chatting, and soon the car came back.

"grandfather!"

Xiaoche thought that he would have mutton noodles to eat today, so he ran back home as soon as school was over.
-
In the evening, Li An took Lao Li and Xiao Che to eat an iron pot stew at the entrance of the community.

After returning home, both the teacher and the student went to the study and practiced their own things until nine o'clock, when Xiaoche went to do his homework.

This is also the plan made by the teacher and the student. In the future, until the Xiaoxiao competition is over, Xiaoche will come back from school to practice the piano.

Old Li took advantage of the time when the teacher and student were practicing piano to take a bath. After Li Ang finished practicing, Old Li went to the study.

There was a simple iron single bed in the study. It was what was left over from the renovation of Sigang. The workers did not take it away and it was left by Ang Lee.

"Dad, go to bed early."

Before returning to the house, Li An glanced at Lao Li, then looked at the car, then went back to the room to follow up with Chen Xuan on the progress of the decoration and went to sleep.
-
The next morning, Ang Lee practiced the piano for the whole morning and basically mastered the third movement. After the weekend, he will start working on the whole piece next week.

As soon as Xiao Che came back from school at noon, he ate the mutton noodles he had been craving for. After the meal, he practiced the piano for half an hour. Ang Lee played it for Xiao Che and assigned him some practice content for the weekend.

Xiaoche is going home for the weekend this week and won’t be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"See you on Monday, Grandpa!"

"See you on Monday, and have a good time writing over the weekend."

"Well! Goodbye, teacher!"

"Let me know when you get home this afternoon."

"Ok!"

Xiaoche went to school, and Li An went into the study to practice for a while. At 2201:, he received a call from Lao Zhao, and then he and Lao Li set off for :.
-
"Uncle Li is here."

In the morning, Li An practiced the piano. Lao Li came to the house to see the workers making the ground beams and walls. He chatted with Lao Ma for the whole morning and they became familiar with each other.

Lao Li: "What did you eat for lunch?"

Lao Ma: "Noodles for eating."

Lao Li: "We can eat noodles too."

When Li An followed him in, the whole room was completely different from the day before.

After completely dismantling and cleaning it out, the house looks a lot bigger.

The newly built brick wall is neat and tidy, with red bricks sandwiched between gray cement, which is pleasing to the eye.

"Master Ma, can this cement dry completely before building the wall?" Li An asked.

Lao Ma: "No problem. The weather is getting hot, and the house is well ventilated. It won't delay the construction."

Li An nodded: "I think the highest temperature next week will reach 25."

Lao Ma sighed: "This summer will probably be hotter than last year."

Speaking of being hot, Huang Guohua and the staff responsible for installing the central air conditioning arrived at the scene one after another.

Soon after, Lao Zhao came with the plumbers and window sealing workers.

When everyone arrived, they exchanged a few simple greetings and then got busy with their respective responsibilities.

The window sealing master was busy with the final measurement.

The workers responsible for installing the central air conditioning made installation plans with the plumber Lao Ma under the coordination of Lao Zhao.

Huang Guohua walked around the house three times, inspected the demolition work, then took out a marker and worked with Li Ang to determine the placement of home appliances and furniture based on the decoration renderings.

For example, the refrigerator should be placed on the east wall between the north second bedroom and the original dining room, using a built-in sideboard.

The refrigerator chosen by Ang Lee is 1920mm high, 753mm wide and 600mm thick. Huang Guohua simply used a marker to restore the refrigerator on the wall where it was designed to be placed, one-to-one.

After a busy round, an hour and a half had passed.

Looking at the whole house again, it has become much more three-dimensional. The entire wall of the house has been painted, giving people a sense of the beauty of wall painting.

It’s true, Li An seemed to have seen the final decoration results on each wall.

With these walls as reference, and with Li Ang and Chen Xuan having determined the models and sizes of all home appliances in advance, the subsequent work of plumbing and electricity was as easy as can be.

Another half an hour later, the positioning of the water and electricity lines was completed, the ceiling plan was determined on site, the installation position of the central air-conditioning, the pipeline layout and the drilling position were also confirmed, and the master who was going to re-measure the windows had already left with the final dimensions, saying that he could start working on the windows early tomorrow morning.

Lao Li was convinced by what he saw. These people were so professional.

A busy afternoon passed in a flash, and we just had to wait until Monday to continue working.

Ang Lee treated everyone to dinner and we all had a drink together.

"Teacher Li, just Lao Ma will take care of the next work. I will come back at the beginning of the month to inspect it." Huang Guohua was about to go out of town. "If you have any questions, we can contact you at any time."

Li An: "Okay, okay, Mr. Huang, please tell me when I can buy other home appliances. I have already placed an order for a refrigerator and a washing and drying set, but I haven't asked them to ship it yet."

Huang Guohua: "Don't worry about this. Please consider whether there are any places that need to be increased or decreased recently. The main ones are water and electricity. It will be troublesome to change water and electricity later. Let's try to do this work well in the early stage, and then we can enter the site in order."

Lao Li: "Designer Huang, I have a question."

Huang Guohua: "Yes, please tell me."

Old Li: "Isn't there an extension of the north bedroom? The drainage point of the central air conditioner is set there, so does it also need waterproofing?"

Huang Guohua: "It has to be done. The bathroom, two balconies, kitchen, and window exterior walls all have to be waterproofed. We will waterproof the kitchen and bathroom to 1.8 meters."

After hearing this, Mr. Li felt relieved. Even if there was one less socket installed at the back, it would not really affect his life. But if there was a water leakage problem in the house, it would be really troublesome.
-
When they got home in the evening, the father and son opened another bottle of white wine.

Drank half.

"Go to bed early, Dad."

"You go to bed early too."

After going to bed, Li An and Chen Xuan followed up on the progress.

It must be said that the plans for all the hard installation aspects were finalized this afternoon, which made Ang Lee feel relieved.

Lately he has been thinking about changing his piano, sometimes even when he is practicing.

Worrying about this and that, afraid that some link is not done well.

Now that my father is here, the renovation plan has been clarified, so he doesn't have to worry about the renovation before April 10th.

His tasks during this period were two things.

First, prepare the car for the race.

Second, practice Bei Si.

Of course, before that, the outstanding students’ report concert to be broadcast live tomorrow night is also very important.

In the past few days, Li An has been running a lot of advertisements on Weibo, Bilibili, friend groups, and public accounts. Quite a number of people have sent him private messages. He did not expect that so many people would be interested.

To be honest, facing everyone's expectations and curiosity, he really wanted to pull the car over to stabilize the situation.
