Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 281. 276. Ang Lee's Bureau
After resigning in the autumn of last year, Li An never came to Blue Whale again.

The familiar Shimen Bridge arrival reminder sounded.

"arrive."

Chen Xuan got out of the car behind Li An, and the two walked across the busy road leisurely arm in arm.

"This way."

The two headed west.

Looking at the familiar scenes on the street, Li An recalled the time last year when he and Ba Wan lived together.

When passing by a tabloid, Ang Lee said he would be there soon.

For a piano teacher who lacks a sense of direction, most of the way recognition depends on some landmark buildings.

When I first ran here, the call to stop was Ang Lee's compass.

Because there is a big arrow drawn on the stop sign, and if you walk less than thirty steps in the direction of the arrow, you will see the gate of the blue whale.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Chen Xuan knew that Li An's sense of direction was poor, but it wasn't enough.

"It doesn't seem to be."

Exaggeration or not, Li An didn't seem to be that exaggerated after thinking about it.

Probably every time he saw this stop report, he seemed to see 200 yuan.

Walking through the arrow means that he can see the money again today.

As time passed, this call-off became special in his heart.

After hearing this, Chen Xuan laughed and said, "Then guess if you got paid today."

Li An followed with a smile and said, "Maybe."

The two of them stopped at the entrance of the blue whale while talking and laughing.

"Ange!"

The waiter standing at the door to welcome guests today was a familiar face to Li An, a Yuncheng man named Dongzi, who was quite close to Li An at that time.

Before reaching Master Blue Whale, Dongzi saw Li An standing in front of the door at a glance.

Hastily stepped forward to meet him, and seeing Li An holding hands, he immediately straightened his waist and shouted to Chen Xuan, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Li An immediately helped Chen Xuan out of the siege, "Teacher Chen."

Dongzi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what Li An meant, and changed his words: "Hello, Teacher Chen."

Chen Xuan didn't seem to hear Dongzi's sister-in-law in front of her, and responded generously with a smile, "Hello."

"Why did you come to welcome guests at the door?"

In Li Ang's memory, Dongzi was not in charge of this job.

"Isn't it that Xiaohong and Li Bin quit their job? Two days ago, they resigned and went back to their hometown saying that they were going to get married. The store was busy recently, and it was difficult to recruit people a few years ago. A few of us waiters came here on temporary shifts." like."

That's how it turned out. Li An remembered this young couple. When he first came to Blue Whale, the two of them hadn't dated yet, and they were about to get married soon.

"Brother An, are you free today?" Dongzi knew that Li An was very busy now.

Li An nodded with a smile: "Come here to do some business, and take a look at everyone by the way."

Seeing Dongzi picking up the walkie-talkie, Li An waved his hand, "Farewell, there is a shortage of manpower, so I'm afraid I'll get lost."

Dongzi also thought about it, "Then Brother An, go in quickly, the door is cold."

After speaking, he looked at Chen Xuan and performed a standard welcome etiquette, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen had a nice meal."
-
"Ange is here."

"Long time no see, Brother An."

Following Li An all the way into the store, Chen Xuan found that Li An's popularity here was no less popular than in the office.

Probably because she didn't pay much attention when she came last time.

Today, whenever the staff in restaurant uniforms see them, they will come forward to say hello to Ang Lee.

She could feel it, not the kind of pure superficial courtesy.

Chen Xuan was distracted, and said "Hello" towards her.

Looking intently, a woman in a dark uniform stopped in front of them.

"Brother An, this way please."

Ladies first, men second, according to Blue Whale's etiquette, Reiko has been waiting for a long time.

As Song Sheng's right-hand man, Lizi Lizi is the biggest in the shop when Song Sheng is not around.

Usually when Song Sheng wants to greet some important guests, he basically just needs to say hello to Li Zi in advance and forget about it, but 10 minutes ago Song Sheng sent Li Zi another message asking if Teacher Li is here.

Before this, Song Sheng had already told Lizi that Mr. Li would bring his girlfriend over at this point, so she must pay attention to it all the time.

Because there was an urgent matter at home, Song Sheng told Li An that he would not be in the store at night when he took Muzi to class in the afternoon, and said that he would definitely invite Li An to sit down again in the next year.

At that time Ang Lee said it was fine, don't be so polite.

Song Sheng was indeed too polite.

Knowing that she had no choice but to come, she let Lizi take good care of the whole process.

Song Sheng couldn't do anything else, after all, when he knew that Li An was coming, he had fixed the location,

Li Zi took Li An and Li An to the best booth in the entire restaurant.

This position is usually not easily arranged when it is full and empty.

Sitting here to dine, you can enjoy the admiration of some regular customers looking here, and you can easily see every corner of the stage on the first floor.

In fact, Li An really didn't care about these things, but he took Song Sheng's heart.

After sitting down, Li An asked Lizi to go to work first, saying that everyone hadn't arrived yet.

"I'll call you when I need dinner."

Reiko's interest faded away.

Li An stretched himself.

After one day of class, I practiced the piano for another two hours after class, and hurried to the blue whale after the practice.

At this moment, he was sitting on the chair calmly, looking at the elegant environment around him comfortably, and he felt a moment of relaxation.

It would be even better with some music.

Ang Li looked at the piano on the stage and felt a little itchy.

Chen Xuan saw his careful thinking: "If you want to play, go for it."

Li Anle said: "We are here for consumption today, okay? Besides, Ji Yang will be here soon."

"Hey, Mr. Chen, have you loaded cash yet?"

There is really some cash in Chen Xuan's bag. She estimated that it has been in her bag for more than half a year. She opened the bag and looked through it, "Is five hundred enough?"

Ang Lee: "It doesn't take that much, 200 is enough, I only play 200."

Only then did Chen Xuan realize that she took out two cards from her bag and handed them to Li An.

Li An: "Just give it to her later."

The two were talking, and within 5 minutes, Ji Chengguang's family of three arrived.

Li An got up, "I'll go down and make arrangements."
-
Ji Chengguang and Hu Rong have been here once, but Ji Yang has not.

After Xiao Ji entered the door, he saw a white and clean waiter coming to entertain them politely.

Ji Chengguang looked around and was about to take out his mobile phone when he saw Li An walking over.

"Little Liang, you go."

Seeing that it was Li An's guest, Xiao Liang, the waiter, nodded and called Brother An, then bent down and left.

Xiao Ji looked at it and only shouted in his heart, wow, the teacher is too good.

"Teacher Li."

The husband and wife greeted Li An, and Xiao Ji called the teacher not to be outdone.

Although the two families made such a game for Ji Yang tonight, it was the master after all. Every time Ji Chengguang invited him to dinner, he always behaved in a proper way.

It's his turn today, and he can't do without some scenes.

The three adults said a few words of politeness, Li An looked at Ji Yang, "What are you doing standing there stupidly, you're starting to cheat without looking."

As he spoke, he pressed his chin towards the stage not far away, "Go and play."

Ji Yang said "ah", "I'm not the teacher, should I just play it now?"

Li An smiled: "Otherwise, wait until you finish eating?"

Ji Yang really thought to have dinner first, "Understood!" She took out the compiled playlist from her bag, then handed the bag to Hu Rong, and then walked towards the stage. .

"Wait a moment."

Ji Yang turned his head, "What's wrong, teacher?"

Ang Lee: "Is there really no score?"

Ji Yang: "It's on the forehead."

Li An: "Take the score up, if you can't remember it, just look at the score."

"Also, the slow one is the first choice."

Ji Yang nodded, took out the sheet music from his bag and walked to the stage again.

Here Li An led Ji Chengguang and his wife up to the second floor.

Outside the booth, Chen Xuan stood there like a hostess, and when the three came up, she offered to smile.

It was the first time she formally met Ji Chengguang and his wife, so she had to put on a show.

Ang Lee introduced the two parties, and the four sat down while talking and laughing.

At this moment, Lizi walked over with a decanter in her hands, followed by a waiter who was holding a bottle of red wine in both hands.

"Brother An, do you want to drink now?"

Li An nodded for a moment, and the soft piano sounded in the restaurant.

Everyone looked towards the stage, Xiao Ji started the first performance.

Richard Clayderman's classic track, Memories of Childhood, is also called Memories of Love.

A piece with a slow rhythm.

With the romantic melody and pleasing performance, more and more eyes fell on Ji Yang's figure.

Looking at the little people on the stage, Lao Ji couldn't help shaking his head following the music in his ear.

The few strokes of hair on the head also followed suit.

In front of the piano, as his hands stretched, Ji Yang played more and more relaxed. After a few bars, he seemed to have adapted to the environment here, and his body couldn't help heaving and falling with the rhythm of his hands.

Not bad.

Li An saw Ji Yang's state after a day's rest.

Facts have proved that the outdoor training a few days ago had an effect on Xiao Ji's mentality when playing the piano.

"I wish Ji Yang all the best the day after tomorrow."

Li An mentioned the first cup.

"Then borrow a good word from Teacher Li."

Old Ji couldn't help raising his glass excitedly.

Hu Rong and Chen Xuan also raised their arms according to the current atmosphere, sending blessings to Ji Yang.

"cheers."
-
In music, there are a thousand feelings of the heart, which can be expressed more than words.

Imagine a western restaurant without background music, how boring it would be.

Comfortable environment, hazy lighting, exquisite dishes, accompanied by graceful music played by girls.

Diners who come to Blue Whale tonight are destined to remember such a wonderful time.

Ji Yang used the British folk song Green Sleeves as the opening song of the first half, and there was only one word in her mind at the moment.

hungry.

When she came to the intermission, she had a big meal.

It is said that it is a big meal, there is only a little food on a plate, and there are no chopsticks, so it is really difficult to eat.

"Slow down, slow down."

Li Ang looked at his watch, "There are still 5 minutes."

Hu Rong couldn't help but said, "Don't eat it, don't eat it, just wipe your mouth quickly."

Such a big child can still stick to his mouth after eating.

Ji Yang put down the knife and fork, picked up the napkin at hand, and swiped it left and right on his mouth, and then turned it around vigorously.

Don't you just wipe your mouth clean?

"Humph."

Xiao Ji was dissatisfied with his mother's accusation, and then looked at Li An with bared teeth, "Teacher, won't you play a song today?"

Ji Yang already knew that the teacher had worked here.

Li Ang: "I'll forget it, today is your home game."

"Why is Teacher Li still modest today?"

Chen Xuan's speech made the atmosphere at the dinner table lively.

Seeing this, Ji Yang followed her sister Chen and said, "Teacher, please play a song, and sister Chen wants to listen to it too."

Seeing that Ji Chengguang and his wife were also full of anticipation, Li An thought for a while.

moment.

"How about this, Ji Yang, I'll play a four-hands ensemble with you."

Ji Yang stared, of course she wanted to play with the teacher, but what, she didn't prepare anything.

"Just Croatian Rhapsody." Li Ang thought for a while and then smiled, "Isn't this the best piece you played before?"

Ji Yang didn't dare to say the best in front of Li An, but she did play this piece very well, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen this piece as the finale of the second half.

She feels more at ease when playing this piece, but she doesn't know how to play this piece with four hands. Generally, isn't it necessary to change the solo version to the four-handed version of this kind of music?
Li An knew what Ji Yang was thinking, "For a while, you just play your own, don't worry about me."

With these words, Ji Yang felt relieved, and couldn't help looking forward to it.

When the time is up, Xiao Ji goes downstairs to continue working.

The four adults at the dinner table were already full, drinking wine, listening to music, and chatting.

Aside from children, the topics of adults are nothing more than family and work.

After all, Ji Chengguang and his wife are experienced people. They have entered the ranks of successful people from scratch to today, and their experience is naturally incomparable for the two young people.

Li An and Chen Xuan also benefited a lot from some life insights expressed from time to time.

"Brother Ji is right."

Li An raised his glass to the old Ji.

"Huh."

Lao Ji didn't feel complacent, and raised his glass to Li An, "What's the point, you will know when you have a family, and it's just a matter of going back and forth."

indeed.

Li An and Chen Xuan nodded.

"Teacher Chen."

At this time, Hu Rong also picked up the cup.

"Yangyang has given you so much trouble during this time, and even asked you to cook and bring it to her. Oh, really, I have always wanted to find a chance to invite you to sit down, but I was afraid of delaying your time. Originally, today's meal Yangyang's father and I have agreed that we must come."

"As a result, I just went down and said it was over."

"It's Chinese New Year soon, so we won't talk about it. You must come to your house when you come back after the new year."

Now that the conversation has come to this point, it doesn't make sense for Li An to refuse any more. Besides Ji Yang aside, he is still very friendly to Lao Ji.

"Then it will be troublesome"

Hearing Li An's words, Hu Rong smiled even more happily, and then looked at Chen Xuan, who was also holding a cup with a smile.

"Then let's have a Happy New Year in advance."

Lao Jibu's voice changed the atmosphere at the dinner table again.

"In the new year, let's all make a fortune together."

Lao Ji gestured with his left hand, looking full of energy.

These words are not vulgar at all, and with some alcohol, Li An even feels that there is no more realistic New Year's vision than this.

"Get rich and get rich."

Li An raised the cup a little higher.

On the side, Chen Xuan looked at Li An quietly with a wine glass. The other party's face was smeared because of drinking red wine, as well as the arms exposed by the rolled up shirt sleeves, and the wine glass in his hand.

This scene gave her the illusion that she had seen the scene where her dad used to drink with those uncles at the wine table.

At that time, she didn't like this picture very much.

But she seemed to understand something at this moment.

The other hand under the table involuntarily reached out to Li An's other hand under the table.

Then her hand was gently held back.

Ang Lee: "Cheers!"
