Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1112 372. The New Assistant Teacher in Piano Room No.
Saturday morning.

The first thing Li An did when he got up was not to run to the bathroom, but to turn on the camera on his mobile phone and go to the door of the cabin.

Dang Dang Dang.

"Linlin, get up!"

According to the agreement between the teacher and the student last night, if Xiaoche walks out of the cabin within ten minutes after Li An knocks on the door, Xiaoche will go to the store with Li An today.

If not, the car will rest this morning.

It literally means to have a good sleep.

"Lingling, get up!"

Ding ding ding. Li Ang knocked three more times.

Still according to the agreement between the teacher and the student last night, if the car did not move when Li Ang knocked on the door the first time, Li Ang would need to knock a second time.

There was still no movement in the house.

well.

Li An said to himself in front of the camera: "I called you twice."

After saying that, he ended the video recording, threw his phone on the sofa, and went to the bathroom yawning.

Wash up.
-
Why did the teacher and the student make such an agreement? Because Li An wanted Xiao Che to have a good rest today, but Xiao Che didn't want to waste time sleeping.

But the car was really tired. He fell asleep as soon as he got in the car after coming out of the Blue Whale last night, and he was snoring loudly.

Indeed, let alone a junior high school student, even an adult would have a hard time considering the schedule during this week.

Classes during the day and work at night.

Monday subway station.

Tuesday, Chengnan Lane.

Blue Whale evening show on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

You also have to do homework during this period.

After returning from Blue Whale on Thursday night, Xiaoche didn’t finish his homework until half past twelve.

Is it hard?

hard.

Li An felt heartbroken when seeing this.

Old Li almost got angry with Li Ang.

But no matter how heartbroken he felt, Ang Lee still took the car and completed his last performance at Blue Whale last night despite Lao Li's obstruction.

Finally, Song Sheng gave Xiaoche a red envelope with two thousand yuan in it. Xiaoche said he didn't want anything and the red envelope is still in the car.

The reason why Ang Lee insisted on taking Xiao Che to complete the last show last night was very simple. He had already planned to let Xiao Che have a good rest on Saturday.

Hold on for one more night and get a good day of rest. Isn’t this a perfect deal?
But who knew that the girl disagreed last night and insisted on getting up early to practice the piano today. Li An had no choice but to make an agreement with Xiao Che.

He bet the car wouldn't be able to get up this morning because people are made of flesh.

It turned out that his judgment was correct, and the car did not get up.

"Take a good day's rest."

Li Ang smoothed his hair in front of the mirror and gave a wicked smile, "You are still a little too young to compete with the teacher."

But to be honest, Xiaoche has completed a transformation under his "devil" training plan this week.

Waiting for Xiaoche to take the stage again, he is sure that he will surprise everyone.

Not long after.

Old Li quietly returned home with breakfast.

"Where's Linlin?"

Seeing that the door of the hut was closed, Lao Li grinned and urged Li An to eat quickly.

"Let's go after we finish eating."

The father and son came to the dining table and started eating.

"Dad, stew some ribs for her at noon and make some fish soup. Have you taken out the ribs?"

"I took it out early in the morning."

Lao Li learned that Xiao Che would not be going home on the weekend, so he planned to give Xiao Che a good rest. "Will you come back for dinner tonight?"

"I have an appointment with friends to have dinner tonight," Li An stuffed the dough stick into his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and continued to instruct, "Tell her to eat less tonight. Remember, don't let her touch the piano today. Apart from playing the piano, she can do whatever she wants."

Lao Li: "Well, are you full?"

Li An swallowed it in one gulp, "I'm full, let's go, Dad."

Just then, the door of the hut was pushed open with a creaking sound.

Ang Lee:.
Lao Li:.
"Good morning, teacher. Good morning, grandpa."

The teacher and the student looked at each other from a distance. Xiao Che rubbed his sleepy eyes, with a little resentment in his eyes, "Teacher, why didn't you call me?"

Li An: ".You really didn't hear it?"

Xiao Che nodded, "I was awakened by holding my breath."

Lao Li was anxious: "Then go to the toilet quickly."

Xiao Che then realized that she needed to pee, and she walked quickly towards the bathroom in a daze.

"Teacher, wait for me."

Li An smiled helplessly and sat down again. He was not in a hurry.

When Old Li saw Li An sitting down, he immediately glared at him and said, "Go away!"

Li An: "Where should I go? Will you take her there later?"

Lao Li: "Then do I still cook at noon?"

Li An squinted his eyes: "If you don't do it, what will you eat?"

Lao Li: “~”

So I was left alone at home again.
-
Ten minutes later, the teacher and student waved goodbye to Lao Li and set off.

Holding a fried dough stick in its mouth and humming a song along the way, the little car looked like a happy little bird.

"Teacher! Where should I play today?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that you're not going anywhere today and you're not allowed to play the piano today?"

"Ah? But I'm up."

"I didn't even mention it when I asked you to play the piano. Aren't your fingers and wrist sore?"

"I still feel a little bit of twitching in the tendons of my left little finger, but everything else feels better."

"Right, Linlin, let me tell you, you have to learn to let your body rest. Why did your teacher Wu Fusheng get injured? It's because he didn't pay attention to his physical condition."

"Well, but didn't you say there was a final, ultimate stage?"

"Cancelled. Do you think you still need it in your current state?"

Xiaoche thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. If I were to say that I could feel the audience and make myself a part of the concert hall, I think I have done part of it."

Lee Ang: “You can feel the sense of relaxation now.”

Car: "Yeah!"

Ang Lee: "Will you still be nervous on stage again?"

Xiaoche: "Yes, I need this kind of tension, and so does the music."

Li An smiled: "You don't sound nervous at all."

Xiaoche chuckled and said, "Teacher, have I become more shameless?"

Li An curled his lips and said, "Let me teach you some experience. When dealing with the stage, the thicker the skin, the louder the applause."

Ha ha ha ha--

You know what, after the teacher said that, Xiaoche recalled the three consecutive days of performances at Blue Whale, and it was true.

"Here, take your red envelope."

"Teacher, I don't want it."

"Take it."

"Teacher, I don't want it. I haven't given you the money for the plane ticket and hotel yet."

"That's between your father and me. This red envelope is your wages. We will have a valuable future, okay? Are you not obedient?"

Under the teacher's coercion and inducement, Xiaoche still took the red envelope and put it into the compartment of his schoolbag before getting off the bus.
-
"Linlin!"

"Xiao Bei!"

As soon as the two sisters met, they stuck together happily.

Here, Li An greeted several parents in the rest area and followed the two girls upstairs.

The two girls whispered something to each other, and when Li Ang came over, they both had a "wicked smile" in their eyes.

"What?" Li An took a step back cautiously.

Xiao Bei raised his little face, "Teacher, I want Linlin to accompany me to class, is that okay?"

Xiaoche followed up, "I promise not to speak the whole time!"

Li Anle: "I was going to say no." "No!" Xiaobei grabbed Li An's arm and started to act coquettishly, "Teacher, teacher, teacher, hello, teacher. Linlin is going to the competition next week, and we won't be able to see each other for another half a month!"

"good good good good."

Maybe this is the speed of raising a daughter. Even though Ang Lee was unwilling, he had to give in under such an attack.

"Alright, alright, don't let Teacher Tang laugh at you."

Old Tang, who was leaning against the door frame of Classroom No. 5, smiled and said, "Look, the one who made your teacher happy is the boss, isn't he?"

Li An was pleased: "It's not impossible to say that."

Suddenly she realized something and turned to look at the two little girls seriously: "Did you two agree on this yesterday?"

As Li An said this, he felt as if he had suddenly realized something, and he explained how the car was able to get up in the end.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Xiaobei made a hateful face: "Teacher, you lose."

really.

Li An laughed: "Hurry up and get into the house."

The two girls happily followed Li An into classroom number four.

Li An immediately turned on the camera on the mobile phone holder.

Xiaobei has now adapted to taking classes under a camera. "Teacher, someone commented on last week's video that you were a bit fierce."

Li An asked back unhappily: "Do you know whose account that comment was from?"

After hearing this, both girls became curious.

"It's Liu Fengrui's grandfather!"

Xiaobei: “Ah?!”

Xiaoche also felt that this was not right: "No way."

Li An laughed again: "Of course not, his grandfather can't even type on a mobile phone."

Car: “This”

Xiao Bei sighed: "This fat guy has learned bad things."

Li An: "It's okay, let me meet him later and go to class."

While Xiao Bei was warming up, Xiao Che went downstairs to make a cup of fresh tea for Li An.

The problem Xiaobei has to solve today is the asymmetrical rhythm matching of the left and right hands.

Three notes in the left hand and two notes in the right hand need to be completed at the same time, which is a difficult point for many piano learners.

Of course there are also those who can learn it in one go, like Wang Xiaohu, who has never learned it before, but can play it right away.

But this is a minority.

"Try it, Xiaobei."

After roughly explaining the principles of the technique to Xiaobei, Li An wanted to see how far Xiaobei could play the instrument so that he could proceed with the next step of teaching based on the specific situation.

"Ah."

Xiaobei uttered a few words lightly, raised her hands and placed them on the piano keys. She had already memorized just five notes.

"when."

The moment the first counterpoint note played with both hands at the same time, Xiaobei's brain went blank.

Because the next two notes with her left and right hands were misplaced, she was thinking about three notes with her left hand, but when she actually put her fingers down, her left and right hands fell down at the same time again uncontrollably.

"when."

"No, no."

Xiaobei quickly stopped and started again from the beginning.
I tried it five or six times, but I never got it right. Either my right hand was right or my left hand was right, but never both.

"It's so hard~" Xiaobei raised his left hand and slapped his right hand hard, "Control yourself!"

Lee Ang: "That's not fair. You have to hit your left hand with your right hand."

Car: "Teacher"

Li An: "Don't be discouraged."

Xiao Bei naturally would not be discouraged, and encouraged himself: "Come again!"

After trying three more times, Xiaobei guessed right this time and was very happy.

Why did Ang Lee say that Xiaobei guessed correctly? Because he had been paying attention to Xiaobei's left hand. Xiaobei's left hand never pressed a single key in a relaxed state. His wrist was very tense, which means that Xiaobei had no way to control his left hand.

Just as Li An was about to speak, Xiao Che couldn't help but speak first: "Left three versus right two, think about it together, left, right, left. Together means hitting the keys at the same time, left, right, left. Left represents the note to be played by the left hand, and right represents the note to be played by the right hand."

Ang Lee: Why does this formula sound familiar?
Xiao Bei muttered as his eyes lit up. He raised his hand again and tried again while saying, "Together, left, right, left!"

"Wow!"

Xiaobei looked at her hands in disbelief. Are these really her hands? She can't control them at all!

Just this time, when saying "together", Xiaobei pressed the keys with both hands at the same time.

When she then said "left", her consciousness was focused on her left hand, and she flicked her left hand.

When she then said "right", her consciousness was focused on her right hand, and she flicked her right hand.

Finally, go back to the "left", and press the left hand to finish, and the whole counterpoint rhythmic feeling will come out.

"Together, left, right, left!"

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

He played it three more times, each time more skillfully and fluently than the last. After the last time, Xiaobei turned around excitedly and said, "Thank you, Linlin!"

Li An: "Ahem, not bad, it's a good method, but Xiaobei, you have to pay attention to keep your wrists relaxed and avoid mechanically touching the keys. The last two times you have basically relaxed. Go back and continue practicing according to this method."

Xiaobei: “Understood!”

Li An: "Keep watching. Are the next four groups of three-on-two? Pay attention to the upgrade. Let's go——"

The sound of the piano rang out again. Looking at the backs of the teacher and friends, the car seemed to have returned to the "classroom" from the recently busy "stage". It seemed that it would be nice to take a break today.
-
The class time passed quickly. Xiaobei's performance today exceeded Li An's expectations, so he learned the content of the next class in advance.

Originally, Li An thought that Xiao Bei would have to spend most of the class today to master the three-on-two situation.

"I'll give you two three minutes."

After saying that, Li An took the teacup and left the classroom.

As soon as I went out, I saw Liu Fengrui sitting in a corner of the stage, holding a music folder and playing with his mobile phone.

"Cough cough."

Xiao Liu heard the voice and stood up and trotted over, his big round face full of excitement: "Teacher."

Li An: "Should I call you Liu Fengrui or Liu Fengrui's grandfather?"

Xiao Liu played dumb: "Ah?"

Li An: "I heard your grandfather said I'm a bit fierce."

Xiao Liu couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter: "Teacher, you should be able to tell that I am deliberately creating an atmosphere!"

Li An snorted coldly: "Nonsense, if you don't let me, you will have to let your father serve you."

Xiao Liu: "Hey, teacher, why don't you reply to the comments?"

Li An: "I've been too busy lately. Hey, do you think our course recording is fun?"

"It's fun. I've recommended it to my classmates," Xiao Liu said shyly, "Just teacher, can you please use the beauty filter on me in the future?"

Li An looked Xiao Liu up and down and said, "Listen to what I say, while you are still young, exercise."

Xiao Liu immediately started crying: "Teacher, I don't have time!"

"No time for what?"

There was a sound coming from the stairs, and then Wang Xiaohu, dressed in pink sportswear, appeared on the second floor.

"Come on, come on."

Li An waved his hand, "Don't worry about him for now, come here, I have something to ask you."

"Ah?" Wang Xiaohu was startled and ran over quickly, "What's wrong, teacher?"

Lee Ang: "What's the formula for three against two?"

Wang Xiaohu didn't think much about it: "Together, left, right, left."

Lee An: “You came up with it.”

Wang Xiaohu glanced at the glass wall hesitantly and saw Che Lin and Xiao Bei talking about something.

"Uh, Che Lin thought of it." After saying that, he scratched his head shamelessly, "It was because you praised me at the time. If you hadn't praised me, I wouldn't have said that I thought of it myself."

Li An curled his lips: "Tsk tsk, you blame me, you have a moral problem."

"Oh, oh, I know." Wang Xiaohu also started to act like a spoiled child, "Teacher, why is Che Lin taking classes with Xiao Bei?"

When Xiao Che and Xiao Bei came out of the piano room, they heard the teacher say, "Che Lin is your teaching assistant today."

The children were stunned.

Brother Xiaohu said reluctantly, "No way."

Li An immediately thought seriously and nodded, "Then you don't have to."

In a trance, someone seemed to hear a crisp "bang".
