Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1180 440. It’s the real deal! The boy’s determination
At half past ten, Lao Tang and Mu Xin started their May Day journey back home with the blessings of all their fellow villagers from Sigang.

The couple's original four-day vacation was extended to seven days by Ang Lee.

Ang Lee had to support this, and the two of them had already adjusted the course schedule for the holidays.

of course.

It's not just Li Ang who supports the two, all four steel people including Xiao Che and Xiao Hu support them.

But even with the support of relatives and friends in Chengdu, Lao Tang, who was sitting next to Mu Xin, was still a little nervous at this moment.

This is the first time he brings his girlfriend home.

He was worried about all the situations he didn't want to see happen.

For example, parents are not happy with Mu Xin.

For example, parents may think that the couple’s decision to get married is too hasty and will not support it.

This is his part of the house.

And when he thought of Mu Xin's family, he became even more nervous.

For example, Mu Xin's parents were not happy with him.

For another example, Mu Xin's parents thought that their decision to get married was too hasty and did not support it.

On the contrary, Mu Xin was not nervous at all at this moment.

It cannot be said that Mu was calm about returning to the two families from the beginning.

She was also nervous before dinner tonight.

But at this moment she was no longer nervous, just because of what Lao Tang said: This wedding must happen this year.

The moment Lao Tang said this, Mu Xin felt inexplicably relieved.

She was no longer nervous, no longer had any worries, and she even didn't want to think about anything anymore.

This man is enough. As long as this man is there, she doesn't care what they face now or in the future.

"Take a nap." Mu Xin whispered, leaning on Lao Tang's elbow.

"You go to sleep." Lao Tang touched Mu Xin's head, "I'm not sleepy."

Mu Xin smiled and said, "You need to take care of yourself. It's not good if your uncle and aunt see you looking listless."

"No," Lao Tang held Mu Xin's hand, "They know we've been traveling all day. If you sleep for a while, you'll have to eat when you get home. If you sleep any longer, you won't know what time it will be."

Mu Xin: "Then let's all take a nap."

Lao Tang: “Okay.”

Just like that, the two of them held hands and fell asleep together as the plane set in the night.

To be honest, the two of them really need to use this time to catch up on some sleep.

It can be predicted that the two of them will be busy during this holiday.

Piano classroom number four.

After seeing off Lao Tang and the other man, the group still hadn’t had enough fun, so they went back to the store.

After chatting, eating and drinking, the time came to midnight.

Tomorrow is the May Day holiday, otherwise, not to mention the two children, even the adults would not be able to endure this.

How to spend this May Day holiday? This is the theme of the second half of tonight.

Li An suggested taking a self-driving tour nearby. Only Wang Xiaohu responded, Xiaoche remained neutral, and everyone else objected.

Reason 1: Wherever you go, there will be people everywhere tomorrow.

Reason 2: Traffic jam.

Li An thought about it and realized that he also wanted to take Lao Li out for a walk.

Fine.

When the show was over, Ang Lee noticed that Wang Xiaohu was not in a good mood.

"Okay, there will be plenty of opportunities to go out and play in the future."

"Well, goodbye, teacher."

Li An thought that Wang Xiaohu was unhappy because he failed to arrange the May Day self-driving tour, so he invited Wang Xiaohu to his house for dinner tomorrow.

In fact, Brother Xiaohu’s emotions did not come from this, but Ang Lee overlooked one thing.

The two children were whispering to each other all night.
-
The next morning, when Li An opened his eyes, he saw the message that Lao Tang sent him at night.

The content of the message was briefly summarized as follows: everything went well, Mr. and Mrs. Tang both expressed their approval of Mu Xin, and the reunion dinner was very enjoyable, but he had not yet briefed Mr. and Mrs. Tang on everything.

"Come on, brother!"

After sending a voice message to Lao Tang, Li Ang followed up with Teacher Xiaomi on the progress.

Then I got up and washed.

"Morning Arlene."

"Good morning, teacher!"

The teacher and the student had a good understanding and met in the bathroom.

After a while, Lao Li also came back with breakfast.

After breakfast, Li An drove the car home.

I bought some vegetables on the way back, and I invited the tiger cub to have lunch with me today.

Early in the morning he asked Xiaoche if he wanted to go back after lunch.

Xiaoche expressed in a very blunt way that he missed his mother.

Row.

After returning home from shopping, Li An was busy in the kitchen until half past eleven, when Wang Xiaohu knocked on the door.

He also brought some local specialties from Yunnan Province, saying that his uncle asked him to bring them, but Lao Li scolded him.

"Hey, you also want me to help the teacher."

Wang Xiaohu washed his hands and went to the kitchen, where Li An was cooking fish.

"What happened to your mother at noon? What happened suddenly?"

"I went to my second aunt's house."

"Then you can go with me. It will be different if you come over at night."

"I don't want to go to her house. My second aunt is sick!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"She's really sick, she buys health supplements every day!"

"what?"

"Really, teacher, she pissed off my cousin to death. Last year, she bought two hundred thousand worth of health supplements and piled them up at home. She didn't eat them herself, but she made anyone who came to her house eat them, saying that eating them would prevent illness."

"This..." Li An thought to himself that this old lady might have been brainwashed.

Wang Xiaohu: "This morning my cousin called my mom and asked her to persuade my second aunt's grandmother again. She wanted to spend another 20,000 yuan to buy a physical therapy device."

Li An: "Alas."

Wang Xiaohu: "Isn't she sick, teacher?"

Li An: "Okay, this is an adult matter, so don't get involved."

Wang Xiaohu: "I don't care. I'm just afraid that my mother will be deceived too."

Li Anle: "Your mother, even if I was deceived, your mother will not be deceived. Come and serve the fish and let's eat."

Four dishes and one soup, with fish and meat.

The three generations of grandfather and grandson made the event quite ceremonial; all the men drank juice today.

"cheers."

Li An specially mentioned this cup to Wang Xiaohu: "You won first place yesterday, which deserves praise and recognition."

Old Li smiled and said, "Little Tiger is amazing."

Brother Xiaohu scratched his head: "Thank you teacher, thank you grandpa."

Li An saw that something was wrong. Why did he seem so unmotivated? What happened?
Looking at him again, he doesn't look very good either.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Li An asked.

Under normal circumstances, Brother Xiaohu would definitely say no. Even if he didn't sleep well, he would not take the initiative to admit anything on such an issue.

"Yeah." But this time, the way Brother Xiaohu nodded really looked like he had encountered something.

Seeing this, Li An looked at Lao Li and asked him more questions.

After dinner, Lao Li went out for another walk, and Li An called Wang Xiaohu to the study.

"What's wrong? Tell me." Li An felt that it might be related to Che Lin.

He thought to himself that maybe from agreeing to let the two children take extra classes together to eating and playing together yesterday, the two children were too close, and that this made Wang Xiaohu feel emotional again?
Li An was right about the first level of his guess. Wang Xiaohu's appearance at this moment was indeed related to the car.

"Teacher, I talked a lot with Arlene yesterday."

Li An nodded without interrupting.

“She’s really good.”

Li An seemed to have figured out what was going on, but still did not interrupt.

"She said she is very busy next, with two solo concerts to prepare, an opening performance, and an online concert."

Li An hummed: "So."

Wang Xiaohu sighed softly, his expression seemed to be happy for Arlene, but also a little disappointed.

"That's great." Brother Xiaohu sighed again, and then his eyes turned to the group photo on the wall.

The group photo was a stage photo of them at last year’s summer camp, with several of them surrounding their teacher.

He didn't seem to notice anything at that time, but in the blink of an eye, less than a year had passed, and Arlene seemed to have left them far behind.

Wang Xiaohu felt that he had worked extremely hard in the past year. He worked hard to learn conducting, practice piano and vocal music, and was unwilling to give up the clarinet even if he had to squeeze out time.

But even so, compared to Arlene, he could say that he had made no progress at all.

After talking with Arlene last night, he felt like a loser.

He felt that Arlene was someone he could never catch up with.

Seeing Wang Xiaohu sighing left and right, Li An was no longer anxious. It seemed that this kid was really worried.

"What's the matter? Just tell me, it's great. I think it's great, and you are great too."

Wang Xiaohu shook his head: "I'm not good, teacher, I feel like I'm just standing still."

"You're talking nonsense again." Li An moved a chair and sat opposite Wang Xiaohu's team. "Your performance this year is incredible. Let me calculate for you. You're number one."

Before Li An could even raise his finger, Wang Xiaohu interrupted him, "Teacher, please stop talking. I know what you want to say, but you don't know what I want to say."

Li Anle: "Then let us talk about it."

Wang Xiaohu shook his head again: "Teacher, don't call me Wangzhi or Huzhi in the future. I'm not a conductor at all."

"Although I have participated in many rehearsals, I know that you set up the stage, and I just go up there and wave my hand, just like playing house, and then tell everyone some terms they have never heard of. If they have also learned conducting, they will know that what I said is nothing big, and anyone can go up to the podium and wave their hand."

Li An opened his mouth and said, "Xiaohu, you have this mentality."

Wang Xiaohu interrupted again: "Teacher, I know my current mentality is not right, and I am trying my best to adjust it, but I don't know how to adjust it."

Li An: "Why do you have to compete with Che Lin?"

Wang Xiaohu was silent for a moment: "I don't know either."

Li An was also silent for a moment: "You watched Che Lin's game."

Wang Xiaohu: "Yeah."

Li An: "Did she get fourth place?"

Wang Xiaohu: "She got six full marks."

Li An: "You answer my question first."

Wang Xiaohu: "Yes."

Li An: "Okay, now I will say that he won the first place. Is there a second and third place?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Yes."

Li An: "How about you compete with the second and third place."

Wang Xiaohu thought for a moment and sighed, "Every player in Group C is much stronger than me. I can't compare with any of them."

Li An: “Do you know why?”

Wang Xiaohu: "Because I'm not diligent enough and I don't have enough talent."

Li Anle: "Sometimes I think you are quite clever, and sometimes I think you are quite stupid."

Wang Xiaohu still had no expression on his face, as if he accepted all the comments from the teacher.

Li An: "Hey, tell me what the Xiao Xiao competition is."

Wang Xiaohu: "Piano competition."

Lee Ang: "Are you going to compete with them in piano?"

Wang Xiaohu: “Uh”

Ang Lee: "Whether it's funny or not, let's not talk about them, let's talk about Che Lin. You want to compete with Che Lin in piano. Are you crazy?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I didn't want to compete with A-Lin in piano, I wanted to compete with her. Not really, but just comparing this year's results, she is much better than me."

Li An: "Isn't that a competition? Besides piano, what other achievements has Che Lin made?"

Wang Xiaohu: "She has already received invitations for three concerts, and I went home yesterday and carefully read the comments section of the recent Xiao Xiao competition, and saw that many people recognized A Lin very much."

Li An: "Stop it, this happened after she participated in the Xiao Xiao competition. How do you know that you won't be recognized by everyone after participating in a youth conductor competition?"

Wang Xiaohu: “Uh”

Li An: "Xiao Hu, I think you have made more progress this year than Che Lin. I am not trying to comfort you. If you don't believe me, ask a few teachers if I have ever said this to them."

Wang Xiaohu's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. How is it possible?

Ang Lee: "You keep emphasizing results. As a conductor, how many performances have you conducted this year? You said that I set the stage for you, and that any other student could also conduct these performances? Okay, let's be more specific. I set the stage and let Che Lin conduct these performances. Do you think she can conduct better than you? Think about it carefully and answer my question."

One minute later.

Wang Xiaohu: "Maybe I'm more skilled."

Li An: "Yes, I know you want to say that Che Lin has never learned conducting. If Che Lin learns conducting, she will definitely be this and that, right? Is that what you want to say?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded.

Li An: "Then what will happen to her? Will she be better than you?"

Wang Xiaohu fell silent.

Li An: "Do you know why I mentioned Xiao Sai? I want to tell you that among pianists of your age, Che Lin is not the only one who is great. There are many others who are great. But among your classmates who are studying conducting, can you name even one conductor who has conducted more than three performances?"

Wang Xiaohu suddenly remembered that he had attended a conducting master class in Hai City during the winter vacation. Among the conducting classmates of the same age he knew, it seemed that only one had conducted two performances, and the rest had not conducted a formal performance yet.

Li An: “Can you tell me?”

Wang Xiaohu: "It seems that there really isn't."

Lee Ang: "There must be, you just don't know it, but it must be very few."

"You need to know what kind of subject conducting is. It requires a long period of accumulation."

"So what I want to say is that in the field of conducting, at your age, you are already very good. You can even say that you are ahead of many people. Just like the piano performance of the students participating in the Xiao Xiao Competition, your performance in conducting is no less than any of them in my opinion. And you have to understand the scarcity of conducting."

After hearing what the teacher said, Wang Xiaohu felt much better.

"Thank you, teacher."

Li An: "I am just telling you an objective fact. I hope you can realize your achievements. Che Lin is of course excellent, but you, Wang Xiaohu, are no worse than anyone else."

After a pause, he said, "In my heart, you, Wang Xiaohu, are no worse than anyone else. Remember that?"

A smile finally appeared on Brother Xiaohu's face.

But, "Teacher, I want to go abroad next year."

Li An was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the young man reaffirm in a resounding voice: "Teacher, I have thought it through."

The teacher and student looked at each other. Li An's brows were furrowed and Wang Xiaohu's eyes were determined.
