Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1203 463. The piano room in the dream! Why is Lin so excited?
A new day starts anew.

Not long after Lao Li left, Li An also set off.

Ang Lee can't wait to see his new home.

Although Lao Li has sent him many on-site decoration videos in recent days.

Humming a little tune all the way, Teacher Li happily came to No. 38 and met Liu Ling, the housekeeper of No. 38.

"Teacher Li, you are back."

"Good morning, Sister Liu. I just came back last night."

The two stopped to say hello and chat for a few minutes.

In accordance with the requirements for supervising the owner's renovation work, Liu Ling, as the housekeeper of No. 38, has to go to No. 2201 every two days to check on the progress of the renovation, take photos and keep records. This is a job requirement.

But every time Liu Ling came over, she would just take a look, say hello to Lao Li briefly, take a photo of the interior, and then leave. At first, she would walk around the house for a while, and later she would just enter the room and take a look.

Just the day before yesterday when she came here, she heard from Old Li that Li Ang had gone to Yanjing.

Liu Ling: "We won't be working today."

Li An: "Let's stop for a few days. We just finished painting and let the walls cool down. We'll start working again next week when the cabinets arrive. Sister Liu, can you come up with me?"

Upon learning that Liu Ling had just come down from 2201, Li An thought that she had not taken any photos, so he took the initiative to invite her to go up again, as a way of cooperating with the work.

Liu Ling: "I won't waste your time. I came here today mainly to ask Uncle Li how long it will take to complete the renovation of our house."

Li An calculated: "Once the cabinets are installed, it's almost done. What's left is to buy home appliances and work on the interior decoration. It should be all done by the end of July."

Liu Ling nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, then your home decoration will probably be finished by mid-June."

Li An replied, "Yes, yes."

Seeing that Liu Ling seemed to have something else to say, Li An took the initiative to ask: "Sister Liu, do you think I need to go through any procedures after the renovation is completed?"

Liu Ling smiled and took over the conversation: "I will come to you to sign when the time comes, and you don't have to go to the property management."

After a pause, he asked, "How will you handle the renovation deposit?"

Li An thought to himself that he was waiting here, but he didn't quite understand what Liu Ling meant by that. What did she mean by how he wanted to deal with it? It didn't look like she was going to deduct his deposit.

"Don't you usually check the deposit at the time, see how to rectify any problems, and refund it if there are no problems?"

Li An asked with a smile: "From what you said, we have other ideas."

Liu Ling took two steps closer and said, "Usually, all of us owners do this, but we are rushing to collect the property management fees for the second half of the year. In fact, there are only a few days left. If you pay now, there will be a promotion, and you will get five kilograms of rice and a bucket of peanut oil. I was thinking of asking you if you want to pay in advance. You will also be returning the renovation deposit soon, so you can directly use the renovation deposit to offset the property management fees, and you don't have to pay any more money."

Li Anle: "I have paid the property management fee for the whole year."

Liu Ling said quickly, "I know, I know, Teacher Li. This is an event. As long as you pay in advance, it will be counted as part of the event, regardless of whether you pay for the second half of this year or the first half of next year."

After a pause, he said, "Besides, the process of returning the renovation deposit at our property management is rather complicated. It will probably take until August or September for the deposit to be returned to you. So I thought that you could just use the money to offset the prepaid property management fee now so that you can save money and then go through the deposit return procedure later. What do you think?"

Li An: "In full?"

Liu Ling: "In full, the property management fee will be charged according to the amount you paid when you went through the formalities."

Facing Liu Ling's expectant gaze, Li An smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your trouble."

When she heard Li An nod, Liu Ling's smile almost overflowed: "Why bother? Teacher Li, I will do it for you in the next two days. After that, I will send the things to Building 40 for you first?"

Li An: "Thank you for your help."

Liu Ling waved her hand: "No trouble, Mr. Li, please go ahead and do your work. I will contact you later. You will need to sign by then."

Li An: "Ok ok, see you later, Sister Liu."

Liu Ling: "Hey, goodbye, Teacher Li."

汗…

In other words, Mr. Li said that the property manager Xiao Liu was a nice and enthusiastic person, and often chatted with Mr. Li in the corridor, otherwise Ang Lee would really not be willing to do so.

What do you mean the refund process is slow? Can it be processed in two days to offset the property management fee?

Even if that's the case, aren't you being too blunt?

However, Li An was just complaining. If what the security guard Lao Liu said was true, the property management would usually have to find a way to deduct a portion of the renovation fee when refunding it. It would be fine if they could refund the full amount now.

Anyway, you can't escape the obligation to pay the property management fee early or late.

"Dad, Sister Liu from the property management company suggested that we use the renovation deposit to pay the property management fee. There is a promotion recently, and you can get five kilograms of rice and one kilogram of peanut oil for paying the property management fee."

In the elevator, Li An sent a voice message to Lao Li.

After getting out of the elevator, Li An took out a mask from his pocket and put it on his face.

Then he opened the door with the key.

The smell that hit him in the face made him stop and enter the house.

Wow, he is wearing a mask.

Even though Lao Zhao had already given him a heads-up in advance, saying that the house would smell very strong for the next three days.

call.

After taking a deep breath outside the door, Teacher Li walked in.

White.

Incomparably white.

Very layered white.

This was Li An's first feeling when he walked into the entrance hall.

Very stunning.

Looking around, he really wanted to complain about Lao Li's video recording skills.

He also has to question Lao Zhao's level.

What did those two people send him two days ago?

The effect was not even one-fifth of what he was seeing now.

The pearl white paint is simply stunning, matched with the Tino light yellow soft-light tiles throughout the house, and the floor-to-ceiling windows on the north and south sides. Ang Lee can't wait to move in!

The warm and harmonious colors, the great lighting, and the layout that couldn't be simpler, there is no need to add any furniture.

A bed and a piano are enough.

This is Ang Lee’s dream piano room.

Not to mention the pungent smell, let’s be honest, once latex paint is applied, the whole home will have that feeling.

Although the transparent mulch covering the ground had not been removed yet, it was enough to make him feel satisfied.

Greatly satisfied.

Of course, Li An also knew that if it weren’t for Old Xu’s help, it would be impossible for him to build the house into its current state according to his own budget.

He could feel the texture of the wall by just getting close to any corner of it.

Compared with the failure cases of latex paint applied all over the house that he saw on the Internet, what he saw in front of him was definitely a real-life template that could be used for advertising.

"Click."

Li An raised his hand to take another photo of Teacher Xiaomi, and then carefully walked up the small steps to the south balcony.

According to Huang Guohua's design, this is where he will place his small grand piano.

Before, he was worried that the area might be a bit small, but now it seems that he can even put another bookshelf behind the piano.

But the only problem now is that this location gets too much sunlight, which is annoying.

After a brief pretentious moment, Ang Lee happily recorded a video for Teacher Xiaomi.

"I'll tell you, our home is real, trust me, never mind, you can come back and see for yourself when the time comes."

After walking around the house again and again, Li An finally came to the south bedroom balcony connected to the south balcony.

This room is the room he prepared for the car, and it will also be the room for him and teacher Xiaomi in the future.

And now he had to consider two problems.

The first question is how to design the bed for this room.

If two single beds are designed, the entire space may be a bit small.

What if it is designed as bunk beds?
Seems like an idea that could be adopted.

Designing it as bunk beds can greatly save the usable space of the room.

Let Xiaoche and Xiaoxing live together now. When Xiaoxing finishes participating in the competition and has children, they can live in the same room with Xiaoche. When the children grow up and need their own space, Xiaoche will probably have participated in the next Chopin Competition.

"What do you think, Teacher Xiaomi? I'll ask Huang Guohua to design a bed for us in the cabin, shall we?"

Hey.

Ang Lee thinks that people are really...

If it were any other child, no matter how talented he was, Li An wasn't sure he would be willing to temporarily fill another bed in his home.

Li An had no way to refuse the Tang family, nor did he have any reason to refuse the Tang family, no matter how poor Tang Xiaoxing's talent was.

When he came back from Yanjing this time, he had an experience he had never had before.

He seemed to have some understanding of what it meant to climb up the ladder.

Even though he was appreciated by Fang Yongbo at that time, he did not have such a feeling.

The influence of the Tang family in the industry is too strong.

With this relationship, his and Chen Xuan's future development in China will be much smoother.

Of course, Li An also knew that this was just the beginning of this relationship.

The key to how to turn this relationship into a long-term and effective one depends on Tang Xiaoxing's personal growth in the coming year.

This is the second problem he is about to face. The house is so small that it certainly cannot meet the needs of two children practicing piano at the same time.

What's more, there is also himself.

Therefore, Ang Lee still needs to consider carefully how to deal with the issue of piano practice space for the two children in the next year.

If that doesn't work, he can just bring his two children to the store to practice piano every day. Each child will have his own practice room and can practice however and until whatever time they want.

And according to Tang Qianfeng, Xiaoxing will not go to school until the end of next semester, that is, after the end of the year, and will stay at home to prepare for the competition.

At that time, Xiaoxing would practice the piano at home during the day and he would watch him. He would not practice at night, which would just avoid Xiaoche's practice time.

Ok.

Let’s just leave it like this for now.

Having a rough idea in mind, Li An checked the doors and windows and left.

Now he is just waiting for Xiaoxing's movement, and he doesn't know whether his plan will work.

It depends on the car.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

As soon as he returned to the community garden, Li An received a call from Lao Li.

On the phone, Lao Li asked Liu Ling what she meant and said she didn't understand the message.

"Oh, the deposit for renovation is not refundable. You have to pay it towards next year's property management fee. We are asked if we agree. If we agree, we will give you a bag of rice and a barrel of oil."

Then Lao Li's cheerful voice came from the phone, "Then do you agree? That's a hundred bucks worth of stuff."

Li An knew: "I already told you I agreed, so I'll just tell you, have you arrived at the market?"

Lao Li: "We're here. Do you need anything later? If not, prepare the noodles first."

Li An couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I'm still practicing the piano, come back and play by yourself!"

This old Li is really something!
Although he complained, Li Ang still kneaded the dough as soon as he got home.

After the meeting, Li An returned to his study and started practicing the piano. He had to digest the concerto problems that Mr. Tang had talked about with him the day before.

At that time, there will be a Bach G minor concerto performed by Xiaoche and the National Symphony Orchestra, so he has to prepare for Xiaoche in advance.

Now with Mr. Tang's guidance, he is more confident that Xiaoche can win the September performance with high quality.

"What is Arlene happy about today?"

During the break, the strange foursome got together and started a discussion since they were missing one person.

The missing person was asked by Teacher Wu to go to the music room after the second class.

"Teacher Li is back."

Faced with A Qian's question, Xiao Guan was speechless.

Ah Qian shook his head. No, "Something must have happened to Ah Lin. Don't you think she is very excited today?"

After hearing what Ah Qian said, Xiao Zhang also realized belatedly that Xiao Che was indeed a little excited today.

"Is it because today is Thursday?" Xiao Zhang suggested, "She can start practicing piano for eight hours right away."

Xiao Guan: “I agree.”

Is it because of this? Ah Qian still thinks it has nothing to do with this.

He and Arlene are desk mates, so he knows more about Arlene's daily state.

In fact, it wasn't just today. These past few days, Arlene gave him the feeling that she was hiding something from everyone.

Forget it. A Qian decided not to discuss this issue with the two of them. Based on his understanding of A Lin, they would naturally know when A Lin wanted them to know.

Then the topic changed, "The preliminary review of the program will be held tomorrow afternoon. Are you nervous?"

Needless to say, after Ah Qian said this, Zhang and Guan became nervous, because they already knew that Teacher Li and the principal would come together to review the program tomorrow afternoon.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon and school was over.

On the way home, Xiaoche told the three of them not to be nervous.

"The preliminary review will not screen the programs. Even if we don't perform well, we still have time to practice again."

After hearing what Xiaoche said, the three of them became even more nervous.

Ah Qian: "If we don't perform well, won't we be outshined by other programs that perform well?"

Xiaoche: "Isn't this normal? Senior Guzheng's program was great, and the dance of Class 11 was also very innovative. We don't need to compete with anyone. If there is a problem, we will solve it. Even if the final stage performance is not as well received as the programs of other classes, we will have no regrets. We tried our best. Bye!"

As he spoke, Xiaoche quickened his pace and walked in front of the three people. "I have to go home quickly. See you in the afternoon!"

Looking at the car speeding away, Zhang and Guan's eyes suddenly turned to Ah Qian's face.

It seems that his judgment was correct. There is indeed something wrong with Arlene.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

The first thing he heard as he entered the house was the sound of the teacher's piano coming from the study.

But today she has more important things to do.

I went back to the cabin and picked up the phone on the bed.

very good!

No information!

The car does not disappoint!
Because this at least shows that Xiaoxing’s sleep quality has improved!

To be honest, she didn't want to see Xiaoxing's reply as soon as she came back, even though she was very anxious.

Lao Li: “Let’s eat!”

Xiaoche: "Here we go, Grandpa!"

Li An: "Go wash your hands first."

Lao Li: "You go wash too!"

Pancakes and grilled fish!

After a delicious meal, the teacher and student took the time to go to the study to study the ending of the third movement of Mozart's sonata.

In the afternoon, before the end of the semester, Xiaoche looked at his phone again.

well.

Have a good sleep, Xiaoxing!

"Is the teacher going out this afternoon?"

"Let's go to the store. Come on, I'll just take you to school first."

Less than an hour after the teacher and student separated, Li An was discussing Sigang's June 1st activities with everyone in the conference room, when suddenly a line of small blue words popped up in front of him.

[Tang Caiyun's teacher-student index increased to 98]

Two o'clock again?

well.

Li An couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. It seemed that Xiaoxing should have woken up.
