Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1223, Section 483: Hear my command: The Children's Day Carnival begins! [Part 1]

Ang Lee knew the children wouldn't agree; he wouldn't have agreed either.

But it was just one step away from success.

So, the bad guy will definitely be Old Tang.

"What are you complaining about? If you don't want to participate, you can choose to withdraw now."

Don't let Teacher Tang's usual cheerful demeanor fool you; when he gets angry, the room immediately falls silent.

Then Ang Lee reassured them, "The flea market officially opens at 9:30, and we start rehearsing at 8:00. We have an hour and a half to rehearse. Don't you have that much confidence?"

Hearing what Teacher Li said, many children's hopes were rekindled.

Yes, isn't an hour and a half enough for them to rehearse going on and off stage?
"That seems like a good idea."

The junior chief leaned close to Wang Xiaohu and whispered, "An hour and a half should be enough, right?"

Wang Xiaohu thought to himself, "It won't take an hour and a half," but he sighed out, "It won't take an hour and a half."

With the conductor's words, the orchestra members around felt reassured.

Anything is fine as long as it doesn't take up time after 9:30.

Wang Xiaohu couldn't bear to dampen everyone's enthusiasm, especially those of the veteran team members.

If he's not mistaken, tomorrow morning will not only involve rehearsing the orchestra's entrance and exit, but also going through the Echoes under the Stars.

Since the performance is scheduled for the night after tomorrow, how could the teacher not let everyone prepare in advance?

Although the teacher has informed us that we need to meet at the Rongcheng Concert Hall early the day after tomorrow for a rehearsal, this doesn't conflict with the rehearsal tomorrow morning.

Actually, he never had any objection to adding extra performances; his resentment stemmed from the recording used for the orchestra's performance this time.

"Teachers, please take this opportunity to help the children get back home."

The second coloring competition was successfully completed, and all the teachers, including those from the school, breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone has been through a lot lately because of this performance, but thankfully everything has gone smoothly so far, and we're just waiting for the official performance tomorrow night.

Ang Lee had a final conversation with the teacher in charge of the high school section. The teacher will bring forty high school students to assist the band with their entrance and exit performances tomorrow.

"Okay, Director Li, let's meet here at 7:30."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, students in the high school section."

"They're actually happy because they don't have to go to morning self-study anymore."

Ang Lee smiled; there was indeed some truth to that.
-
Afterwards, the group from the Fourth Steel Company walked towards the parking lot. On the way, Li An asked who wanted to go get some late-night snacks, and only Wang Wenyang raised his hand.

"Aren't any of you going?" Wang Wenyang scratched his head. "Then I'll pass too."

Haitao: "Go if you want. I'm just too tired. I want to go to bed early tonight."

Zhang Miao: "Me too."

Old Tang: "We also want to go back and rest as soon as possible; we feel completely numb."

Ang Lee: "Yunshu, let's go together."

Zhang Yunshu: "Even I can't take it anymore, boss."

Ang Lee: "Where's Xiao Ge?"

Ge Xingyan: "I'm all right, Brother Du."

Seeing this, Ang Lee said, "Never mind, let's talk about it after the performance. Let's all get some rest tonight."

He didn't want to put pressure on anyone. His original intention was to see that everyone had been busy all day and hadn't eaten well in the afternoon, so he thought he would treat everyone to a special meal in the evening.

Since everyone else is complaining about being tired, he's actually saving money.

"Bye-bye, boss! Bye-bye, Sister Xu!"

"Bye, see you tomorrow."

"Brother An, we don't need to come over tomorrow morning, right?"

"Okay, you all have a good rest this morning. The specific time in the afternoon will be announced in the group."

Goodbye, teachers!

As he spoke, Wang Xiaohu got into Li An's car.

"It's so hot."

Although the car was parked in the underground garage, it was still very hot inside. Wang Xiaohu felt himself sweating even before he was properly seated.

Fortunately, the car's air conditioning turned on automatically as the car started.

What do you want to eat?

Ang Lee looked in the rearview mirror and asked.

Wang Xiaohu asked in confusion, "Didn't we say we weren't going to eat anymore?"

Ang Lee: "They don't eat, but I have to. I didn't eat anything last night. If you don't want to eat, I'll send it back to you first. Your mother hasn't eaten either."

Wang Xiaohu said, "Then I'll go back. I'm not very hungry, and I want to go to bed early tonight."

Xu Li: "Okay, go upstairs and scoop the litter box first."

Wang Xiaohu: "Okay."

Li Anle: "Sister Xu, what would you like to eat?"

Xu Li: "I'm fine with anything, it depends on Linlin."

Ok?
Little Tiger was bewildered. What was going on?!

Li An stopped his car alongside Hai Tao's at a red light and made a phone call to the car.

Three beeping sounds followed by the car's audio system playing the car's sound.

"Teachers, you're done."

"Hmm, how was your practice tonight?"

"Fortunately, I reviewed the concert program and touched Mendelssohn again."

"Okay, get ready. See you at the south gate in ten minutes."

"Good teacher!"

"What to eat?"

"I'm fine with anything, teacher. I'll eat whatever you eat."

"No, you have to say one."

"Then I want it spicy!"

"it is good."

Wang Xiaohu was very annoyed. How could he not have thought of that? Arlene was already on vacation!

After hanging up the phone with Xiao Che, Li An asked Xu Li to send a message to Mu Xin to ask, "Tell him you ordered takeout from the store and see what they think."

Wang Xiaohu: "Oh right, teacher, I left a few sheet music sheets in practice room number one."

Ang Lee: "What sheet music?"

Wang Xiaohu: "A condensed version of Bach's four choral works."

Ang Lee: "Then you should organize it yourself. Your score is too messy."

Wang Xiaohu: "Hmm!"

Ang Lee knew that Wang Xiaohu was still angry with him, so he smiled and thought to himself, "Let's give the kid a way out."

Sure enough, their tone was different.

"Are we going to that restaurant again?" Xu Li asked, scrolling through her phone. "Their spicy chicken is pretty good. Did Linlin eat there tonight?"

Ang Lee: "If she's already eaten, then let's order from this restaurant again. Their grilled eggplant is pretty good too, let's have one."

Wang Xiaohu: "Mom, I suddenly want to eat pickled fish."

Ang Lee: "Yes, another serving of sauerkraut fish, their sauerkraut fish is also good."

Xu Li: "Mapo tofu, shredded potatoes, and how many servings of rice do you want?"

Ang Lee: "Give us six portions. If they don't come, we'll pack them up and take them home for tomorrow's fried rice."

Wang Xiaohu: "Don't worry, teacher, I can eat it!"

Ang Lee: "Okay, eat if you can. You played well tonight."

Wang Xiaohu: "Huh? It's alright, I just couldn't find my speed last night."

Xu Li: "Mu Xin went up, took off her contact lenses, and came down."

Wang Xiaohu: "Isn't Teacher Tang coming?"

Ang Lee: Isn't that an unnecessary question?

Wang Xiaohu chuckled to himself, and for a moment it seemed that his resentment towards the teacher had dwindled to almost nothing.

"Teacher, how did Arlene play today?"

"so so."

"real or fake?!"

"Why don't you ask her later?"

"Impossible! How could she!"

"She hasn't mastered this piece yet."

What was she playing?

"k333."

"Didn't she just start practicing?"

Little Tiger felt relieved, and she said that it was understandable that Ah Lin could only play so-so.

Listening to relaxing music, the unusual family of three chatted back and forth until they reached the south gate of their residential compound.

Wang Xiaohu saw the small station under the streetlights from afar and quickly made way for the right door.

Li An stopped the car, opened the car door and got in, saying, "Hello, Auntie!"

"Congratulations, Linlin." Xu Li turned to offer her congratulations, "You can finally rest."

Xiao Che chuckled: "Thank you, Auntie. I can relax a bit tomorrow."

Wang Xiaohu coughed and said, "Keep up the good work."

Xiao Che: "Huh?" Wang Xiaohu: "Didn't you play K333 today? Next time you go on stage, you can choose a piece you're familiar with."

Ang Lee couldn't help but chuckle.

Xiao Che immediately understood and replied to Brother Hu, "Okay, I'll pay attention next time. How were you today?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I think it was just average, but the teacher said I swung it pretty well."

Xu Li was speechless. How could he even say that?

Little Car: "Looking forward to your performance tomorrow night!"

Wang Xiaohu thought to himself, "You can't come again?" and sighed slightly, "Yeah."

Xu Li: "Linlin, are you coming with us first thing tomorrow morning?"

what? What? !

Little Tiger was stunned again!

Little Car: "Yes, Auntie! The teacher said there's a flea market tomorrow morning, and I want to go and experience it!"

Wait, wait a minute! Wang Xiaohu pleaded to keep up with the plot: "Wait a minute, Arlene, are you going to the Book People's Clan tomorrow too?"

Car: "Yeah."

Wang Xiaohu: "Stay for a day?"

Car: "Yeah."

Wang Xiaohu: "The kind where you watch a show at night?"

Car: "Yeah."

Heh~ Heh heh~ Heh heh~~~ Wang Xiaohu unconsciously revealed a perverted smile, as if he were in a dream!
What a wonderful surprise!
Hey, wait a minute, "You don't have our school uniform."

The little car asked in confusion, "Do we have to wear school uniforms tomorrow?"

Ang Lee: "Why are you wearing a school uniform? Wang Xiaohu, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Xiaohu immediately snapped out of his daze: "Oh right, right! We don't have to wear school uniforms tomorrow."

After a pause, she said, "Teacher, Arlene can pretend to be a classmate of ours tomorrow."

Ang Lee: "Couldn't we have used a better word? Why did we have to pretend to be something we're not?"

Wang Xiaohu chuckled: "Alin is the principal pianist of our orchestra."

Car: "This."

Ang Lee: "No problem."
-
Ang Lee and Li Xu parked their car in front of the store with their two children. The lights in the lobby were already on.

"Those two are pretty fast."

Mu Xin's eyes were uncomfortable, which was why she wanted to go home as soon as possible.

I feel so much better after taking off my contact lenses, which is why I came downstairs to wait for my takeout.

"Where's Lao Tang?" Li An entered the room but didn't see Lao Tang.

Mu Xin: "He takes too long to shower, I don't want to wait for him."

Little Car: "Teacher Mu!"

"Linlin, you two come here quickly." Mu Xin and Lao Tang bought some small gifts for the children a couple of days ago.

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu followed over and exclaimed, "So many Kapibalas!"

Mu Xin: "You two choose first."

Little Car: "Wow! Thank you, Teacher Mu!"

Mu Xin smiled and said, "You're too kind. Hurry up."

The paper bag contained various capybara dolls; Xiao Che picked one playing the flute, and Wang Xiaohu picked one as well.

When Ang Lee learned that such a small gadget cost forty or fifty, he thought to himself, "Isn't this robbery?"

“Teacher, you don’t understand!” Wang Xiaohu explained, “It’s called Kapibala, and it’s really popular lately.”

Ang Lee: "You're a boy, and you like this kind of thing?"

Just then, someone said, "That's not right."

Everyone turned around and saw Lao Tang walking into the store wearing shorts and a vest.

"Teacher Tang!"

"Teacher Tang!"

Old Tang greeted the two children, then looked at Ang Lee: "Does liking a little gadget have to be based on gender?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Exactly!"

Ang Lee thought about it and it seemed to make sense. "Let me take a look."

"Here you go, teacher!" The toy car was handed over, and Li An took it, played with it for a moment, took a picture of it for Chen Xuan, and sent it over.

"Boss, why don't you pick one too?" Mu Xin shook the bag in her hand.

Ang Lee craned his neck to look and saw another person playing the flute, so he unceremoniously reached out and took it out: "Then I'll celebrate Children's Day."

Little car: "Hehe!"

Wang Xiaohu: "Hmph!"

A moment later, Ang Lee received a WeChat message from Chen Xuan: So cute! Where did you get this?
Ang Lee: Of course, it's a Children's Day gift for you. Do you like it?

Chen Xuan: Please keep this safe for me! Love you!
Ang Lee: Hurry up and practice, we're planning to get some late-night snacks at the shop.
Chen Xuan: Mm-hmm! I estimate it will end in about two hours.

Ang Lee: Received

When the takeout arrived, Lao Tang realized there was no drink available. He asked Li An, who replied that he wasn't drinking that day.

If you don't drink alcohol, then let's all have some soft drinks.

Xu Li: "You two go to the supermarket and see what you want to drink and buy some."

Wang Xiaohu: "Okay!"

Ang Lee: "Look for cars before crossing the street."

Wang Xiaohu: "Mom, give me your phone. My phone is still at home."

Car: "I brought my phone, let's go, let's hurry up."

Wang Xiaohu: "Wait a minute."

The car said, "I'm leaving."

Seeing this, Wang Xiaohu abandoned his mother's phone and turned to follow her.

The four adults laughed as they watched the two children walk away.

"Let's not wait for them, let's eat first."

Ang Lee was really hungry.

"Eat, eat, eat," Xu Li urged Lao Tang and Mu Xin to sit down quickly, "I'm hungry too."

As they talked, the four adults sat down and started eating. "Brother An, Sister Xuan will be back from her vacation soon, right?"

Ang Lee: "She has to stay until the end of July."

Mu Xin: "So late?"

Ang Lee: "Their school orchestra had a performance, and the instructor thought highly of her and recommended her to be the principal."

Old Tang: "That's great!"

Ang Lee: "Yes, so it's okay to come back a little later."

Xu Li: "We can get engaged during the summer vacation, right?"

Ang Lee: "We definitely have to book it, but we haven't picked a date yet. It could be before or after summer camp. The key is that she has to participate in the Rong'ai Music Festival performance rehearsals when she comes back. We'll see how things go then."

Xu Li: "Let the elders prepare, you two can just go through the motions."

Ang Lee: "Her family thinks it's also possible to get engaged in Chengdu, and both families can come here then."

Old Tang: "Then what's there to worry about?"

Li Anle: "Don't interrupt on this question."

Mu Xin: "It's okay, Brother An. We've already agreed to get engaged in Chengdu."

Ang Lee: "Both of you shut up."

Ha ha ha ha--
-
On the way back from the convenience store, Xiao Che asked Wang Xiaohu what he planned to sell tomorrow, but all he got in return was a soft sigh.

"We probably won't be able to participate in the flea market tomorrow."

"Huh?" Xiao Che was slightly taken aback, then realized, "Do we have rehearsal tomorrow morning?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Mm."

Car: "What time does the flea market close?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Our seventh grade's opening hours are from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Xiao Che: "What time is rehearsal?"

Wang Xiaohu: "It's eight o'clock, but I guess the teacher will want to take some more pictures of the starry sky. The performance is the night after tomorrow. The teacher hasn't mentioned this recently. You know how it is, there's no time for the teacher."

Xiao Che understood; she thought Wang Xiaohu's analysis made sense: "So what are you going to do tomorrow afternoon?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I don't know, maybe they'll watch a movie in class or go to the gym. There won't be any classes for the entire junior high school tomorrow."

Xiao Che smiled and said, "Then what are you worried about?"

Wang Xiaohu didn't react immediately, and let out an "Ah!" as if he had suddenly realized something.

"If I don't have time in the morning, then I'll do it in the afternoon."

Xiao Che raised his hand and slapped Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder, then leaned closer and said, "We can pretend to be in the second year of junior high!"

Wang Xiaohu gasped, "That's so exciting?"

The car was very pleased with Wang Xiaohu's expression: "Exciting, isn't it? Happy now?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Happy!!"

The car chuckled: "Listen to my command, from now on, no more frowning!"

Wang Xiaohu frowned: "Do I?"

"You did this on purpose!" With a slap, Xiao Che pushed Wang Xiaohu forward two steps, urging, "Hurry up and let's go, I'm starving!"

Wang Xiaohu grinned like a fool: "Me too!"
