Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 868 128. The seeds are about to break through the soil! It’s a long-awaited gathering
"You just don't ask, but do you really not care?"

Li Ang's questioning echoed in Xiaobei's mother's ears for a long time. Thinking back on this entire period of time, she could not refute it.

After a long time, Xiaobei's mother sighed.

Li An heard the voice and continued to analyze for Xiao Bei's mother: "It is because I didn't ask that you became more concerned psychologically."

"Because you know every stage of Xiaobei's growth from childhood to adulthood, and now you suddenly don't know what happened to her at school today. In addition, she doesn't take the initiative to tell you now, and she is in this state. How can you not be anxious?"

Xiaobei’s mother: “Yes, yes.”

Li An: "What did you do? This is what Che Lin told me last week. Xiao Bei and Che Lin said that mom often came into my bedroom when I was not at home recently. This should have happened last month."

Xiaobei's mother: "Teacher Li, the situation is like this. Last month, when she was not at home, I only went into her bedroom twice, both times to help her pack her things. I didn't have any intention of peeping or anything like that."

Li An: "That's the problem. You can't explain to her what she will think when she comes home and sees that things in her bedroom have been touched."

"We always say that children need their own independent space when they grow up, and this space actually includes the spiritual realm."

"I think what she cares about is not that you entered her room, but that she thinks you think there is something wrong with her, but you don't ask her and do something secretly."

"It's a violation of her spiritual realm."

"We can't say here that your parents gave birth to you and raised you. It's already 2022. It would be fine if there were no conditions, but you created these conditions for her. She grew up in the warm nest you built for her."

"Let me put it another way. Since she was born, she has been walking on the path you have paved for her."

"To this day, she is still on this path, but her mind is still in the process of growing, and she will eventually become an independent individual."

"This is a natural law. No one can stop it. It will definitely change. You know that this is an inevitable change, but have you taken measures to deal with it in advance?"

Xiaobei’s mother was silent.

Li An: "To be honest, if you were in this situation as a child, would you think that your mother just came into the room to help you clean up?"

"Maybe you think there is no problem, but Xiaobei thinks there is a problem."

"So is it Xiaobei's problem or your problem?"

moment.

"You all have problems."

"But her question is objective, she is still young, while your question is subjective, you think she is still young."

Li Ang's words were like enlightenment. After a long time, Xiaobei's mother on the other end of the phone let out a sigh of relief.

"Teacher Li, you are right."

Li An: "I apologize if this is offensive."

Xiaobei's mother: "No, no, Teacher Li, we are not ready to deal with her changes. You are right, she can't always be the same as when she was a child. We are negligent."

Li An smiled and said, "To be honest, I have to ask you for advice on parenting. You have educated Xiaobei so well, it's really enviable. I always think that if my future child can be half as obedient as Xiaobei, I will be satisfied."

Xiaobei's mother also laughed and sighed: "You are definitely much better than us."

Ang Lee: "Anyone can talk about it on paper. I am just speaking from the perspective of an outsider. In my opinion, Xiaobei is different from other children."

"There are a few obedient children now, but it is often the case that disobedient children are more likely to find an outlet for their emotions."

"To put it bluntly, he doesn't care about his parents' every move. How can he be so emotional about something he doesn't care about? At most, he is just a common teenage rebellious. I don't care if you are wrong or not. Anyway, the whole world is wrong and I am right."

"Children who have always been obedient are at a disadvantage here. Even if they resist on the surface, they still have a set of thinking habits in their hearts. They will consider the reasons of their parents and they still have things they care about."

"You should know why Xiaobei can continue to study hard after the midterm exam and even make progress."

Xiaobei's mother: "She has maintained a good study habit, which makes me happy."

Ang Lee: "Is there any more?"

Xiaobei’s mother: “She wants to use better grades to prove that she can balance studying and piano lessons.”

Li An: "I agree with both of your points, but I think you overlooked the most important point. Indeed, she wants to prove that she can balance study and hobbies by getting better grades, but is that all?"

"It seems to me that she did that to reassure you."

"Because of her personality, you have given her too much attention since she was a child, and this attention has now become a burden to her. She wants to break free, but at the same time she wants to satisfy you."

"It's her nature to want to break free, and it's her care that she wants you to be satisfied."

"A kid who can get into the top 30 in the lab doesn't even have the freedom to take piano lessons. Aren't you asking for too much?"

"I can understand that. If it were me, I would not be able to do what you and Xiaobei's father did. But at the moment, from the perspective of a bystander teacher, considering only individual cases, I think you should really hold back your concern and care."

"Why don't you use the rest of this semester to do an experiment? Don't pay any attention to her at all. Just treat her as an adult. Treat her going to and from school every day as her going to and from work. After she gets home from work and has dinner, she can do whatever she wants. You can do what you should do and let her do whatever she wants. You can go to bed at a certain time. She can go to bed whenever she likes."

Xiaobei’s mother: “This.”

Li An: "I can understand parents' various ways of disciplining disobedient children, children with poor grades, and children who hate studying, because they still have hope. They also hope that their children will understand more when they grow up, become obedient, understand the importance of learning, and then work hard to improve themselves."

"What are you looking forward to? Do you hope that Xiaobei will be obedient? Do you hope that Xiaobei will get better grades? Or do you hope that Xiaobei will like studying?"

a long time.

Xiaobei's mother: "I understand, Teacher Li. Don't worry, we know what to do."

Li An: "Don't worry about this. Xiaobei and I will have many opportunities to be together in the remaining time. I will keep a close eye on him. In addition, there is Che Lin. The two of them can talk about anything. Che Lin knows what to tell me."

Xiaobei's mother sighed: "Che Lin is a child, ah, I don't know how to describe it. I have taught two and a half classes of students, and I have never seen such a sensible child."

Li An: "Xiao Bei is also sensible. They are all sensible children. They just grew up in different environments. Let's do this today. I will go and talk to Xiao Bei and ask her to try percussion instruments. To be honest, I don't know. If she really wants to play the piano, then I won't force her. Let her play. I will just say hello to her teacher at school."

Xiaobei's mother didn't know how to express her gratitude. There is still a long way to go: "Thank you, please get busy, and we will keep in touch."

Li An: "Keep in touch. I should go up too. Xiaobei is still waiting for class upstairs."

Xiaobei's mother: "Oh, Teacher Li, I wanted to tell you this this morning. Today is the day we release her to you. You can mark the class time as you wish."

Li Anle: "Of course, we need to mark the class time. We mark one class for each class, and two classes for each class. Playing is playing. Let her have a good day here today, and you can relax for a day. That's it. Wait for me to believe it."

After hanging up the phone with Xiaobei’s mother, Li An also sighed.

Raising a child is not an easy thing. Just one phone call made him sweat in the cold winter.

Fortunately, it was effective communication.

There is no problem with Xiaobei’s mother, so Xiaobei is the only one left.

I put away my phone and was about to go upstairs when I heard a familiar voice "Teacher" behind me!
Li An turned around and looked at the person who came and raised his eyebrows, "Didn't I change it to eleven o'clock for you?"

Xiao Liu glared and parked the car next to the electric car, "Isn't it Xiaobei who is back today?"

Li An: "Wait a minute, do you have anything else to do on Saturday mornings?"

Xiao Liu parked the car and said, "No more, it has been moved to Sunday afternoon, but from now on I only have Saturday morning to indulge myself."

Li An: "How's the rehearsal going?"

Xiao Liu: “So cool.”

Li An: "Don't show off yet. I have to arrange a new song for you today." Xiao Liu: "Huh?"

Li An: "Bullshit, I've asked you to adjust for a whole semester. I don't think you don't have time to practice piano."

Xiao Liu: "Hey, you found me."

As they were talking, the teacher and the student got into the elevator. After nearly a semester of adjustment, Xiao Liu was able to strike a balance between study and extracurricular life again, and his November monthly exam results also improved a little based on the midterm exam.

Sometimes you have to accept it. Among the children, Xiao Liu is the most stable and never causes any worry to the adults.

The teacher and the student opened the door, and the sister and brother sitting on the sofa also put down the score in their hands.

When Wang Xiaohu saw Liu Fengrui, he asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you would come at eleven o'clock?"

Xiao Liu smiled evilly: "Do you understand IQ suppression?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Get lost, if you keep trusting me I'm a dog."

Xiao Liu didn't care at all, he turned around and grinned: "Senior Sister~"

Ji Yang: "Liu Liu, have you gained weight again?"

Xiao Liu looked resentful: "Senior Sister."

Wang Xiaohu: “Hahahaha!!!”

Li An: "Keep your voice down."

The three of them shut up instantly.

Then, "Liu Fengrui, you go first."

Xiao Liu: "Teacher, I'm not in a hurry to leave."

Li An looked around and asked, "You all agreed?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Report, Marco can't come. He can only attend class at the usual time tomorrow. Qiao Zhizhi doesn't know that she is not in the group."

Xiao Liu: "Ask, ask her."

Wang Xiaohu squinted his eyes: "What do you want to do?"

Li An: "Alright, alright, don't call anyone. These are the only ones left today. After lunch, get out of here."

Senior Sister Xiao Ji: "Teacher, I also want to ask, what are we going to eat for lunch? Do you need me to go to the kitchen to prepare it in advance?"

Li An: "Let's stop it. We'll see what happens at noon."

Who could have thought that the little ones had already secretly agreed on it, not to mention Wang Xiaohu and Liu Fengrui. At the beginning, Li An didn't even count Ji Yang. He was thinking of having lunch with Xiaobei and Xiaoche at the same time. Now, they're all here.

"Be quiet, everyone. Anyone who disturbs me during class will not have lunch."

After saying these harsh words, Li An walked towards the study door.

It sounds like Xiaobei doesn't have any serious problems anymore.

Li An gently pushed the door open, walked into the room sideways, and listened against the wall.

He waited until the two children finished playing and turned to look at him before he walked over. "It seems like I really have nothing to do today."

Xiaoche: "Teacher, Xiaobei can play faster. We tried it just now."

Li An nodded: "This speed is fine, what do you think, Xiaobei?"

Xiao Bei said shyly: "Linlin keeps praising me, and I almost believe it."

Li An smiled and said, "Then I suggest you just believe it."

Xiaobei: “!”

Li An: "It's almost time, you two can go out and play, and ask Liu Fengrui to come in."

Xiao Bei was excited: "Teacher, did I pass the test?!"

Li An: "Well, we've passed. Let's go have fun!"

Xiao Bei still found it hard to believe: "Teacher, I only practiced for an hour last night!"

Li An pretended to sigh: "Xiao Bei, the teacher didn't tell you to be more confident, but you should also take a look at the two-part score. How difficult is it for you? Didn't you see that I just left? Why did I leave? You two can just play with this score. What's there to talk about?"

Xiaobei was so happy that she didn’t know how to express it. She had never received such affirmation from the teacher before. She was so happy. This was the first time she received the teacher’s recognition without any guidance from the teacher! !

Thank you, Linlin! Xiaobei shouted in his heart, "Linlin, let's go out and play!"

"Yeah!" Xiaoche put away the music and closed the piano cover, "Teacher, we are going out now."

"Go ahead, you can take out the snacks you bought and share them."

Looking at the backs of the two little girls holding hands, Li Ang couldn't help but smile. He hoped that the friendship between the two children would continue like this.

The two little girls no longer paid attention to the teacher behind them.

"Linlin, you're not going to buy that one, are you?"

"Hey, of course I bought it!"

Li An: "Which one?"

The two little girls opened the door quickly and ran out as if there was a big bad wolf chasing them, "Ah Liu, class is in session!"

Then laughter broke out in the living room.
-
As far as Ang Lee can remember, the last time this scene was played out was in the summer, when it was just a high school student and a group of elementary school students.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and I have become a college student and a group of junior high school students.

From now on, except for holidays, there will definitely be fewer and fewer opportunities to get several children together like this.

Let’s let the kids have some fun today; they’ve worked hard for a whole semester.

As for the celesta, let's put it off until the afternoon.

play.

Just focus on having fun happily.

"teacher."

Xiao Liu walked into the study and interrupted Li An's thoughts.

"warm up."

Xiao Liu put down his music bag, sat in front of Damizi, rubbed his chubby hands, and then started moving his fingers.

Here Ang Lee turned to Mork's Butterfly, a Level 6 work.

The theme melody and lines of the right hand of this piece are very singable, and the left hand needs to advance the sentence in one go.

It covers the main techniques of the oath sign that Xiaoche assigned to Xiao Liu.
