Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 308 9. Showdown
About Ang Lee's work story this year, it is nothing more than four things, classes, quality teacher assessment, Xinghai Cup competition, and solo recital in the Red Chamber.
-
After Ang Lee shared this year's work, everyone sighed.

"Fourth brother, I also want to hear your concert."

The last time Xiaoyan heard Ang Lee talk about the Beethoven concert, she imagined such a scene in her mind. The fourth brother was wearing an exquisite black dress and sitting on the stage playing the piano, and the stage lights were only on him. , the audience was full of audiences, the sound of the piano was beautiful and melodious, and the audience was solemn and quiet. She felt that this picture had a special texture.

"Okay."

Li An smiled and nodded in agreement, then encouraged Xiaoyan and said, "You study hard, and I will ask my little dad and aunt to take you there."

Xiaoyan immediately grabbed Li An's sweater sleeve and shook it vigorously, "Fourth brother, don't lie to me!"

Li Xueming looked at his daughter's excitement and smiled and said, "You study hard, and we will take you there when the time comes."

Of course Li Yan was excited, she had never even made a train since she was born, and he had only heard Li Rui describe the world outside Yucheng to her.

"It's like you held this concert, is it also arranged by some performance company for you?"

Li Xing's grandfather used to work in the County Cultural Bureau, so he knew a little about this matter.

Ang Lee: "Yes, they make arrangements, and I'm only responsible for designing the tracks and stage performances."

Designing repertoire and stage performance, to everyone present, these two words sound somewhat lofty, but for a while, Li Hua was a little confused about how Li An was doing business in Rongcheng.

He is also working as a senior lecturer in a large unit, and he is also cooperating with a performance company to do performances. Which one is Ang Lee's current main business.

So he asked: "Did you sign contracts with both units?"

Lao Li and An's mother also pricked up their ears.

Well, Li An intentionally or unintentionally glanced in the direction of his parents, but seeing that both of them seemed to be very concerned about this issue, he laughed and said, "No."

Hearing his son's answer, Lao Li felt a little disappointed.

Li Hua also understood: "It's just cooperation."

Li An coughed, "It's considered a cooperation. At that time, the boss of a local cultural media company wanted to sign a contract with me, but I didn't."

He wasn't bragging, Fu Tianming had proposed to recruit him more than once.

"Why don't you sign it?"

Lao Li suddenly said something, and the whole family looked at him for a moment.

What did Lao Li say? He just felt that there is no such thing as cooperation today, and there is no guarantee of signing a contract. Maybe people appreciate you now, and they don't want to see you after a while.

"Why do you want to sign?"

Li An's words drew the whole family's attention back, and then took a sip from the water glass without haste, and then threw the bomb, "I plan to terminate the labor contract with this teaching institution in the next year."

"Why?" Lao Li said anxiously, which made him even more confused.

When he was sleeping last night, he even talked to his daughter-in-law about how Li An's current workplace is, but in a blink of an eye, Li An said that he would resign.

Li An smiled: "Don't worry, Dad, I just came into contact with the labor contract, and it's not that I don't work there anymore. In the future, Lantian and I will no longer be the relationship between the employer and the laborer."

After a meal, "We are both partners."

Xiaoyan didn't understand very well, but he felt that the fourth brother seemed very powerful.

Li Hua understood it this time, and thought that Anzi really messed up in Rongcheng, "Are you planning to cooperate with several companies while doing it yourself?"

Li Ang: "Well, although it's hard work, it's their job to work for them after all."

Li Hua agreed with this very much, and said with a smile: "It seems that Teacher Li has already made preparations."

Li An also smiled: "It's almost there."

As he said that, he looked at Lao Li, "Father, I'm going to open a personal studio in Rongcheng next, so the household registration must be there."

Li An wasn't sure if it would be inappropriate to raise it directly with his parents on this occasion, but he said that he had to talk about it this time when he went home for the New Year, so that's the point.

"This time I have to transfer my household registration to Rongcheng."

As for when to open the personal training class, he really doesn't have a clear time period in his mind for the time being. Li Hua's answer just now is more to reassure his parents, but moving his hukou first will allow him to do some things next. Much more convenient.

Regarding the change of household registration, Lao Li thinks it’s nothing. You can move if you can. When he started working in a factory, his household registration has been transferred from rural areas to cities.

Li An had already prepared for the matter of moving his household registration, and it would be fine if he moved back when the time came.

What he is more or less worried about now is that Li An said that he will do it in Rongcheng by himself. This is a scene he did not expect.

Is it so easy to do it yourself?

The current occasion is no longer suitable for him to ask more questions. He plans to find an opportunity to have a good discussion with Li An on this issue in the next two days, and listen to what the other party has in mind.

"Three fathers."

Li Fu picked up the wine at this time, "Look, what I told you before, just wait and enjoy the blessings in the future."

Lao Li picked up the wine and sighed with a smile, "Your father is still blessed. Look at the three of you, one by one."

As he spoke, Lao Li and Li Fu clinked a glass, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

After all, he was also happy to hear his son say that he had done a good job this year. Li An seldom talked to them about work on the phone. After hearing this tonight, he was worried, but at least his son He is working hard on his career outside, and this energy makes him feel more at ease in his heart.

At the dinner table, the men of the Li family drank again.

Li An finally made a toast to his younger father Li Xueming, Li Xueming patted him on the shoulder and told him: "From now on, talk more in the group."

Li An nodded: "Don't worry, daddy."

At the end of the New Year's Eve dinner, Li An used the excuse of changing the phone, and added the phone number of a circle of people again.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the real excitement begins.

Set up a mahjong table here, and a card table over there. Those who want to continue drinking drink, and those who want to play with mobile phones play with mobile phones. In short, after the New Year’s Eve dinner, all the problems and worries of this year should be temporarily put aside and left to dry. .

Just like what Li Xuebin said when he persuaded his aunt just now, "For those who are older than the Chinese New Year, forget it."

Li Xuebin asked Li Hua and Li Xing brothers to stay and touch them, and then Li Hua insisted on pulling Li An together, but Li An didn't know this thing at all, and he didn't like these things either.

Seeing this, Li Hua took Lao Li to the table again.

Lao Li has never liked to play these games, for fear of losing money.

"Ouch, come on, third father." Li Fu booed from the side.

In the end, unable to withstand the tugging of several people, Lao Li came to the table.

"Anyway, I only have 100 yuan, and I will stop playing after losing."

What Lao Li said made the whole family burst into laughter.

The game begins.

Li An stood behind Lao Li and watched for a while, then took a photo of the scene in front of Chen Xuan.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan also sent an almost identical photo.

[-]: It seems that it is almost the same in all parts of the country
Xiaomi: Hahaha, why don't you play?

Bawanyi: I won't

Xiaomi: neither will I

Bawanyi: What are you doing at night?
Xiaomi: Just sit and watch them play, watch the Spring Festival Gala, and sleep when you get sleepy, like this every year during Chinese New Year

Bawanyi: That's so boring

Xiaomi: What's so interesting about you?
Eighty-one: Ice skating, mountain climbing, shooting cannons, the yard is huge, and there is a donkey

Xiaomi: How can you shoot cannons!
Bawanyi: Yes, let’s play next year

Xiaomi: Someone said that they will send me back to the cigarette market next year?

Bawanyi: Is this a conflict?

Xiaomi: Humph, let's see how you behave!

"Who are you texting with?"

Chen Xuan was waiting for Li An's reply, and looked up to see her cousin walking over.

Facing her cousin's mocking eyes, she didn't know what to say in front of the whole family, but she was not afraid.

The cousin smiled: "Come here, I haven't had a good chat with you for a long time."
-
Seeing that Chen Xuan stopped replying to messages, Li An swiped through the chat list again, and then picked up his phone.

Turning around, he called Li Zheng who was on the sofa to him, "How many inversions of triads?"

Li Zheng shook his head embarrassingly, "Fourth Uncle, I haven't learned the chord yet."

Li An nodded, and then asked, "What did you learn?"

Li Zheng: "Sound value combination method."

Ang Lee: "What is the sound-value combination method?"

Li Zheng: "According to the method of combining sound fingers with the beat."

Ang Lee: "Do the dotted notes need to be separated by beat?"

Li Zheng: "No need."

Li An nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I'll listen to you play your saxophone tomorrow."

Li Zheng scratched his head: "Fourth Uncle, I can't play well."

Li An: "I passed by your yard this afternoon, and I listened to you outside for a while, it was not bad."

Ah!
"Really, uncle?"

Li Zheng was both surprised and pleasantly surprised. In class the day before yesterday, the teacher said that he played badly, and he almost lost confidence after scolding him.

"real."

Li An smiled, "Blow the complete song to me tomorrow."

When drinking just now, Li Hua invited Li An to come to his house tomorrow.

After chatting with Li Zheng and Li Yan for a while, Li An and An Ma said hello and went out.

"Where are you going?" An Ma asked.

"Go out and get some air."
-
Walking along the path in front of the courtyard to the store, Li An returned all the New Year's greeting messages along the way.

Whoever sends him a voice, he will reply to the voice, and whoever sends him a text, he will reply to the text.

At the entrance of the store, Wei Sanwan and Qin Yong were called respectively, and then they bought a bottle of liquor in the store, and went out of the store and went up the mountain like the north.

Originally, he made an appointment with Li Jun in the afternoon, but at this time, the other party was taking care of Li Xuedong.

forget it.

He went up the mountain alone, facing the mountain wind and walking all the way towards the fire in the mountain.

Half an hour later, he stopped in front of a temple gate.

Ever since this village existed, there has been this temple on the mountain, but he doesn't know which deity is enshrined in the temple.

After buying a handful of incense for two hundred, Li An put the incense in the incense burner, then turned and left.

After leaving the temple, he continued to walk up the mountain. He didn't know how long he walked and finally reached the top of the mountain.

Looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the whole village, and the courtyards of every family are lit with lanterns, which is quite like the lights of thousands of families.

Chinese New Year should be a reunion.

After staring blankly for a long time, Li An turned around and looked up at the moon.

The moon is not round tonight.

moment.

"Dad, mom."

Calling out these two words softly, he couldn't bear it anymore.

The legs bent, and with a plop, both knees landed on the ground.
-
New Year's Eve just passed away.

On the first day of the next day, it was almost noon when Li An got up from the kang.

Headache, stomach ache. "

Seeing Li An waking up, An's mother hurriedly came up to her with hot water and asked, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Li An shook his head and gave him a reassuring smile, "It's all right", he got up and looked around, "Where are the second father and the others?"

Mama An: "They're all gone."

Li An nodded, picked up his phone and checked, it was almost twelve o'clock, "Mom, I have to go."

Saying that, he got up, tidied up and left.

An's mother looked at her son's leaving figure and shook her head, who do you think you drank with when you went out in the middle of the night last night.

When it was close to twelve o'clock last night, a whole room was surrounded by the mahjong table, only to hear the door thumping, and looking around, Li An was drunk holding the doorknob, then lay down on the sofa by the door and fell asleep.
-
Li Hua's family started to get busy early in the morning, just for today's lunch.

"Do you still have a drink?"

Li An waved his hand, looking at the dishes on the table in front of him, he had no appetite at all.

The family also noticed that Li An's complexion was not very good today, and no one persuaded him.

After simply saying a few words about parents, Li An went straight to the point.

"I've already found out that Mr. Lei is an in-service professor at Yanjing Conservatory of Music."

Ang Lee has made this point clear, "But he doesn't play the saxophone, he plays the clarinet, and he doesn't play the orchestra, but musicology."

The family didn't know the difference between the departments, but when they heard that the teacher didn't play the saxophone, they all looked unhappy, especially Li Fu's wife, Chen Fengxia.

"Ms. Li, did we find the wrong person before?"

Li An waved his hands and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't worry."

"First of all, clarinet players can also teach saxophone. Secondly, this teacher is an in-service teacher of the college, not an external teacher. The difference between in-service and external employment, you understand this."

Because Li Zheng was also present, it was difficult for Li An to say something clearly.

Li Hua nodded, then turned his face to let Li Zheng go back to the room to practice management, "Get ready, your fourth uncle will check you later."

Li Zheng got up: "Fourth Uncle, you eat, I'll go in first."

After finishing speaking, he obediently put down his chopsticks and went back to the house.

After Li Zheng left, Li Hua said, "What do you mean by the Department of Musicology and Orchestra?
That's the point.

Li An asked without rushing to answer, and asked first: "Do you want him to take the performance major or the theoretical major."

Chen Fengxia whispered: "We don't care about this at all, we just want him to go to college by studying music, but his teacher said that he was asked to take the music performance test, and said that he would learn from Teacher Lei and spend some money at that time. can solve it.”

Li Ang probably understood: "First of all, the majors in the Conservatory of Music are very finely divided. Saxophone performance should be a subject under the Orchestra Department, while Musicology is another department that has nothing to do with the Orchestra Department."

Having said that, the adults seemed to understand something.

Li An thought for a while, "Well, let me give you a suggestion. You should ask the teacher on your child's side first. Isn't this teacher a former student of Teacher Lei?"

Li Fu: "Yes."

Li An nodded: "Let's ask clearly first, if we ask Mr. Lei to go to class, and when the time comes to spend money, which school and which major will the child take? This is something we must clarify at this stage, otherwise we can't go any further. said."

Li Hua looked at Li Fu, and said in a serious tone, "Call and ask now."
