Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1115 375. Departure is imminent, reading companions and books! [Part ]

Forget it.

Li An thought that he should not bring up the subject. If he did, would Xu Li be able to refuse him?

No, if he found an English teacher for Xiaoche, and Xu Li suggested that Wang Xiaohu attend the class with her, could he refuse?

They all have this kind of relationship, and he even said that he would take the initiative to ask Xu Li if she needs to be arranged for Xiaohu.

In his opinion, it is a good thing for two children to take English tutoring together. They can supervise each other and promote each other, and it is great to see them competing with each other.

Wang Xiaohu needs to prepare in advance for studying abroad the year after next, and Xiaoche also needs some extracurricular tutoring to ensure that he keeps up with the missed learning progress.

In order to prepare for the Xiaoxiao competition, Xiao Che has missed some courses in the first half of the semester. If he can qualify for the global finals, he will have to prepare to go to Poland. This back and forth will leave Xiao Che with almost no time to attend normal classes in school in the second half of the semester.

Li An had originally planned to hire a tutor for Xiao Che after the competition was over, so that he could make up for this semester's courses and finally preview the courses for the next semester.

Li An didn't force it to be effective or how big the effect would be. The situation was like this, and he would make up as much as he could. There was no way he could let Xiao Che give up studying completely now.

This was his idea, so when Xu Li mentioned that she would hire an English tutor for Wang Xiaohu starting next week, he subconsciously had some thoughts.

Xiaoche's current performance in his three main subjects is best in mathematics, and his Chinese is still maintained at a medium level in the class, but his English is a little bit worse.

Following the method provided by Chen Xuan, Xiao Che has been trying hard to memorize words, but it has never been reflected in his grades. Li An cannot say that Teacher Xiaomi's method is wrong. He can only say that for Xiao Che, blindly memorizing words is not an efficient method.

Chen Xuan has been an excellent student since elementary school, all the way until the college entrance examination.

Before sixth grade, Xiaoche was always the last in the class. He sat in the last row in English class and drew little people on the textbook.

The basic situation is different.

So from a teacher's perspective, what Xiaoche needs now should be some more efficient learning methods.

As for what method, Ang Lee is not an English teacher.

Wait a minute.

First, see what kind of English teacher Wang Xiaohu is. If he is good, you can ask Xu Li to introduce him to you.

Xu Li will definitely not mind this.

Li An was worried that Xu Li would mind, so she didn't say anything, given that it was a common concern of both she and Xu Li.

In fact, it's okay for him. Prevention is only a means, not an end. Overcorrection may arouse the child's rebellious psychology and even cause harm to the child.

Just like last night when Xiaoche said he wanted to go to the bookstore with Wang Xiaohu today, Li Ang didn't say anything extra, just like Xiaoche said he wanted to go find Xiaobei, let's go and have fun, I promised to let you relax on Sunday morning.

But Ang Lee couldn't tell what Xu Li's attitude was, even though Xu Li had described the scene of the two children entering the subway station together as soon as they met, as if she was sharing a funny story.

After all, he hasn't officially become a parent yet.

So don't cause trouble for Xu Li, "Okay, I can give you a happy agreement, it's progress."

Li An asked with a smile, "Didn't he tell you that he had his own little plans on Thursday night?"

Xu Li shook her head. "At first he was unwilling and irritable, as if I had stepped on his tail. I thought I couldn't force him anymore, so I said if he really didn't want to accept it, forget it, and skipped the topic. Then I urged him to eat quickly and not be late. Didn't they agree to eat at 8:30? It was almost 20 at that time."

Li An: “Tsk tsk.”

Xu Li: "Then he got anxious, and maybe because he saw that I was a little disappointed, he said he wanted to make up for it. I still didn't respond and told him to eat quickly."

Li An sighed: "Speaking of the 100 tricks of parents, Sister Xu, you can also share your experience of raising children online."

Xu Li also laughed after hearing this. "I was thinking that if it really didn't work out, I would just give it to you. I didn't expect that he would agree to it."

Ang Lee: "To be honest, he is ambitious in his bones, otherwise no one can say anything."

Xu Li was not being polite: "Your words are more effective than mine."

"Well," Li An could only smile at Xu Li's words. Maybe compared with his mother, he was more afraid of the teacher.

As the topic changed, Li An asked, "Hey, Sister Xu, did you find the English teacher for Xiaohu yourself or was he introduced by a friend?"

Xu Li: "A friend introduced me to this. He's a graduate student majoring in English at Chengdu University."

Lee An: “That must be good.”

Xu Li: "I think the girl is okay. I just talked to her on the phone this morning. What's going on?"

Li An: "I thought you had some resources in this area. I want to arrange some tutoring lessons for Linlin after she comes back from the competition."

Xu Li's heart was moved when she heard this, "Oh, what kind of teacher do you need? I can help find one here. Does Linlin also need an English teacher?"

Seeing that Xu Li asked about it, Li An simply told Xu Li about the current situation of the car.

In fact, even if Ang Lee didn't say it, Xu Li could have thought of it. Seventh graders already have a lot of homework, and they also have to practice piano and prepare for competitions at the same time. How could the children have so much time and energy?

"How about," Xu Li hesitated for a moment, "how about letting both children take lessons together? Then they can have a reference for each other."

Li An couldn't help but raise his lips when he heard this. This really surprised him a little, and he said hesitantly, "Is it okay?"

"If you think it's okay, I'm sure it's no problem," Xu Li said seriously, "The get out of class ends at 7:30, Linlin will stay for dinner, and then I'll take her back."

Seeing Xu Li say this, Li An knew what he was thinking, "Then let's give it a try?"

Xu Li: “Try it.”

Li An: "Let's see the effect first. If it doesn't work, let them do their own thing."

Xu Li: "Okay, I think it would be better to have a study partner. Linlin will definitely have no problem with this, but Wang Xiaohu is still not consistent in his studies."

Li An: "Linlin is actually the same. She is obedient. If you tell her that she must learn, she will force herself to learn. But learning this is different from learning music. She can sit still to practice the piano by herself, but I have no idea if she can take private lessons by herself."

The two of them smiled knowingly as they talked, and Li An added, "Actually, I don't think there's any problem with that."

Xu Li followed: "He told me last night that he was going out with Linlin this morning. I was wondering what happened. He was sneaky before. I wondered if his temper had faded and maybe they are just good friends now."

Li An's view on this point is different from Xu Li's: "It's hard to say. It's hard to say what Xiaohu really thinks about this issue. Maybe he has passed away, or maybe he has kept it in his heart. We really can't judge. How can we judge? We can't just ask him directly. If we ask him and he says no, what if he really does, and he really fears adults from the bottom of his heart, then there will be trouble later."

Xu Li: "Yes."

"How should I put it," Li An sighed, "It's really not a bad thing. Everyone has to grow up and will go through situations like this. So even if Xiaohu feels that Linlin is somewhat attractive to him, it's human nature. We can't blame him first."

Xu Li: “Yes”

Li An: "Secondly, the current situation is relatively easy for us to handle. After all, it is all under our noses, and we can take some measures at any time."

Xu Li: "If anything happens, we can take precautions."

Li An: "Yes, the two children have a good relationship for sure. They have been through so many things together and have common topics. In addition, given our situation, it is inevitable that the two of them will spend some time together every week."

Xu Li: "So let's just leave it at that for now. Let's keep silent and avoid going too far."

Li An: "That's what I mean. Prevention is the priority, and guidance is the supplement. Let the two children successfully complete their junior high school studies first. This is basically one-third of the way."

Xu Li: "Yeah."

Li An: "Then let's make it this way. When Linlin comes back, we will arrange for her to study English with Xiaohu. We will decide on the expenses then."

Xu Li: "You don't have to worry about Linlin's expenses."

Li An: "No, we can talk it out between us. This matter involves her family. Her father will definitely not let us get away with this."

Xu Li: "Why don't you just keep it if her family gives it to you? Just listen to me this time."

Sunshine Department Store.

Fourth floor.

After going around in a big circle, the two children finally returned to the elevator entrance.

"Are you going to get off?" "Yes."

From the first floor to the second floor, then to the third floor, and then to the fourth floor, accompanied by Wang Xiaohu, they went around various counters and stores. Xiaoche was dazzled by the choices, but still didn't see a satisfactory gift.

Wang Xiaohu was also very anxious. He knew that Che Lin must buy a gift for Aunt Sang today. If she didn't buy it today, there would be no chance. Once they set off tomorrow, it would be the 23rd in a blink of an eye.

We made it all the way back to the first floor, and the car stepped down the escalator and sighed.

Wang Xiaohu: "Why don't you pick a book for Aunt Sang as well."

Xiao Che has never seen Aunt Sang reading a book, is it appropriate? Although she also thinks that giving books is a very meaningful thing.

"She doesn't usually read books." Xiaoche wanted to hear Wang Xiaohu's advice.

Wang Xiaohu: "Maybe she will read the book you gave her?"

Xiaoche: “Will it?”

Wang Xiaohu: "What do you dislike eating the most?"

Xiaoche: "Eggplant."

Wang Xiaohu: "What did Aunt Sang make?"

Xiaoche: "She can't cook eggplant for me."

Wang Xiaohu: "."

Xiaoche: "Let's go! Bookstore!"

Wang Xiaohu was stunned and quickly followed: "Aren't you going to buy that hat?"

Xiaoche: "When did I say I wanted to buy it?"

Wang Xiaohu: "But you like it very much."

Xiaoche: "I just took it for a spin, I didn't really like it."

As he spoke, the car started moving, and the bus not far away was about to arrive at the station.

Wang Xiaohu followed closely behind, thinking that he obviously liked it very much!

Just now in the trendy toy store, Che Lin tried on a total of four hats. She only tried on the other three hats once, but she tried on the red Christmas hat with a little white ribbon three times.

Brother Xiaohu counted them clearly!
But it doesn't matter for now.

After two bus stops, the second child got off the bus, walked along the road to the next intersection, turned right and arrived at Beiyi Book City.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the sound of piano. Xiaoche just glanced towards the southwest corner of the bookstore hall.

Wang Xiaohu also looked over at the same time: "You play worse than me."

Xiaoche shook his head speechlessly, unable to comment on the speech of the young "conductor".

I really am not in the mood to comment. Looking forward, I see all kinds of exquisitely displayed bestsellers. Looking back, I see endless rows of bookshelves. The car is really a bit overwhelming.

Although she has no idea yet, she has made up her mind.

Just give Aunt Sang a book.

In her opinion, Wang Xiaohu's analogy just now actually made sense.

Aunt Sang knew that she didn't like eggplant, so she wouldn't cook it for her.

But she didn't know whether Aunt Sang didn't like reading.

Maybe Aunt Sang just doesn’t have time, or maybe Aunt Sang just hasn’t come across a book she likes.

If I can pick a book that Aunt Sang likes, it means I have made the right choice.

If Aunt Sang likes this book because I gave it to her, it means I made the right choice.

Whatever the possibility, it is a perfect match for the car!
"What kind of books does Aunt Xu like?"

Time is limited, so Xiaoche and Wang Xiaohu plan to act separately.

"My mother reads all kinds of books. Recently, she has been reading a book about simple communication. The title is quite long, but I didn't pay much attention to it."

Xiaoche: "Got it. I'll go to the second floor."

Wang Xiaohu: "Yes! Believe me, I will definitely be able to pick a suitable book for Aunt Sang today."

Xiaoche: "Aunt Xu too!"

The two children separated in the noisy crowd and started looking for their own place.

The bookstore is full of student atmosphere on weekends, and Brother Xiaohu, dressed in school uniform, quickly blends into the crowd.

Five minutes later, the car in the foreign reading area received a call from Wang Xiaohu.

Xiaoche picked up the question quickly: "What book?"

The person on the other end of the phone smiled a bit frivolously, "I haven't found anything yet. I just came out of the Business Administration reading area and was going to check on the third floor. There probably aren't any books on the first floor that are suitable for mothers."

Xiaoche: "Well, I'm in the foreign reading section now, and it seems that none of them are suitable."

The person on the other end of the phone stopped laughing and said, "Take your time. At worst, I can just skip lunch today."

Xiaoche was quite touched when Wang Xiaohu said that, but the next second the phone kept ringing: "Please treat me to two meals next time."

Car: "Okay."

Wang Xiaohu: "Are you angry?"

Xiaoche: "No, didn't you say that if you can't eat today, I'll treat you to two meals next time? I said okay, what's the problem?"

Wang Xiaohu: "No problem, stop interrupting me and choose the book carefully."

Car: "Yeah."

Wang Xiaohu: "Wait a minute, don't hang up, we can exchange opinions at any time, it's more convenient this way."

Xiaoche thought it made sense: "Yeah."

ten minutes later.

Suddenly, a voice came from the phone, "This is a good book!"

The car stopped immediately, "What book?"

Then the person on the other end of the phone smiled awkwardly, "Um, sorry, sorry, it's a book a mother gave to her teenage daughter. I thought it was a book a teenage daughter gave to her mother."

Xiaoche said, "It's okay, anthropologist in the kitchen, is it possible that Aunt Xu would like this book?"

The most profound impression Aunt Xu left on Xiaoche is still that she really loved baking cakes.

Wang Xiaohu: "Good news, my mom likes this book very much. Bad news, I already have it at home!"

Car: "Okay."
-
Here, two children are racking their brains to choose birthday gifts for their mothers, and the proprietress of Boyuan Chinese Restaurant is also busy.

Sang Ping was looking at the menu, thinking about what to make for Linlin in the evening. Although she knew that Linlin would not come back until after dinner at Teacher Wei's house, she still wanted Linlin to have something to eat when she came home.

She was also racking her brains.

She is leaving tomorrow and she is actually a little nervous and anxious.

She was afraid that she was not there to take good care of her daughter.
