Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 311 12. "I know."

Li An didn't know carpentry, so he could only say that his father made this table very well.

Without any filter evaluation, it is not bad at all for wooden tables sold in shopping malls.

The smooth desktop in front of him made him sigh, thinking that a long time had passed, and the desktop was still so silky smooth.

But the young man in prime of life in the photo has never been seen again.

"Anzi."

Ang Lee turned around.

Li Xueming thought that the other party had made a mistake, and said with a smile, "It's that one, the one where things are placed."

Ang Lee: .
Looking again, there is indeed a small square table under the window sill, on which a pile of bottles and jars are arranged in a mess, as well as three green Chinese cabbages and a bag of dried chilies.

The greasy black tabletop had already lost its true colors, so Li An walked aside and stopped to look at it for a while.

After a while, he grabbed the corner of the table and shook it vigorously, and saw that the things on the table did not move at all.

He smiled, "Sturdy."

He patted the table, took a look in the back room, and saw that his parents on the kang were still asleep, so he followed Li Xueming out.
-
In order to take care of the sick old sow in the pen from time to time, Li Xueming has no chance to go back to his father-in-law's house this new year, at least he can't live without him these few days.

Although he doesn't expect a few pigs to support his family now, Li Xueming always wants to buy a house for Li Rui in the county as soon as possible.

Li Rui will graduate next year.

"Stay far away," Li Xueming told Li An to step back a little, "it's very dirty."

As he spoke, he picked up the big bucket on the ground.

Seeing that Li Xueming was struggling alone, Li An stepped forward to help, and then the uncle and nephew poured the pig food from the bucket into the trough together.

Crashing, unknown liquid splashed everywhere around the trough, and Li An's shoes were not spared.

But all his attention was on the lying old sow, and he thought to himself, get up and eat, the meal is here.

Li Xueming is also observing.

The uncle and nephew stood outside the wall of the pigsty, waiting quietly, during which they smoked a cigarette.

After not seeing the old pig for a long time, Li Xueming sighed, "Let's go, pack up and go to your uncle's house for dinner."

At this moment, the door next to the main room creaked, and Lao Li came out to pee. Seeing his uncle and nephew in the yard, he asked Li An, "When did you wake up?"

Li An: "I just woke up, my mother is still asleep?"

Lao Li: "I just woke up, let me lie down for a while, I didn't get a good rest last night."

Ang Lee: "What's wrong, Mom?"

Old Li rolled his eyes: "Your snoring and thundering are the same, only your grandpa can't hear it."

Li An was surprised: "...I snore like thunder?"

Lao Li: "What do you think, you ask your little dad."

Li An looked at Li Xueming: "Daddy, is it true or not?"

Li Xueming smiled: "You are tired."

Ang Lee: "."

Old Li pushed Li Xueming away and let him go up first, "We'll go there in a while."

Li Xuedong's house is built on the east side of the courtyard, and going up means going to Li Xuedong's house.

After Li Xueming left, Lao Li asked Li An to follow, and the two of them came to the main room to make another hut next door. It was rare that the floor in the room was not only covered with tiles, but also had home appliances and beds.

"Isn't there a bed here?" Li An asked and immediately recalled that this was the room of his sister-in-law who hadn't been home for the New Year in two years.

"If you don't go home for the New Year, you don't even let people sleep in the bed?"

Looking at the neat big bed, with a Simmons cushion on it, Li An was a little annoyed. In the memory of the original owner, he was a little hostile towards this aunt.

In addition, although he didn't remember last night, but according to Dad's tone just now, the three of them, grandpa, grandma, and little dad slept on a kang last night.

As a result, my mother hasn't slept well. Although there is a reason for being too tired, isn't there a bed?

"This is her house?" Li An said displeased.

Lao Li: "You are stupid, isn't this your aunt's house?"

Li An was puzzled: "She still lives here? Didn't she run off with a coal boss?"

Old Li stared: "What the hell are you talking about?"

Li An raised his hand to signal his father to calm down, "The house on the right of the main room is my little father's house, the one on the left is my sister-in-law's house, the house on the south wall of the courtyard is my second father's house, and my elder father built the house on the east side."

As he said, the cracks in his memory got bigger and bigger, "What about our family?"

"Which house is our house?"

Lao Li grinned and spoke slowly, "Isn't this your home?"

Li An knew what was going on, but he couldn't help but ask at this moment, "This is my sister-in-law's house, you just said it yourself."

Lao Li didn't expect his son to be fussy about it, so he smiled and said, "Whether I live without you or eat without you, you will fall asleep tonight."

This is not the answer Li An wanted: "I don't sleep in her house, I just want to know which house is your house in such a big yard?"

Facing his son's aggressive gaze, Lao Li didn't know what happened to this bastard today.

"Then my household registration has been moved out, so there is no room for me."

Li An hehe: "Sister-in-law and second father's household registration is still here?"

Lao Li asked Li An to sit down, then took out a cigarette, "Come on, dad will give you some."

Li An was just angry and didn't take it up. He couldn't let his father light the cigarette for him, so he took out the lighter with his backhand and lit it for his father first. "Listen to Li Gong."

What did Lao Li say, "You said you can earn that money in a month, and you still care about this."

Li Ang: "It's two different things. What I earn is my labor income. There should be my house here. Alas, you don't want it, you don't want it. The one who loses is me."

Lao Li smiled: "You will come back to this broken place in the future."

Li Anle said happily: "Hey dad, you said that I will bring my girlfriend back to celebrate the New Year in the future, will you let her squeeze the kang with me?"

Seeing Li An showing this smile, Lao Li suddenly understood, and co-authored for a long time that Li An did it on purpose.

"That's all right, all your uncles are good to you, don't keep thinking about those things."

But when it comes to Ang Lee's girlfriend, he and his wife talked for a long time last night.

"Is that girl also a music teacher? What do parents do?"

"His father is from the Bureau of Statistics, and her mother is a doctor."

Lao Li dusted off the cigarette ash, and then asked, "Don't everyone know you?"

Li Ang: "Her mother knows, but his father doesn't know yet."

Lao Li was silent for a while: "What do you think?"

What did he think, when he was suddenly asked, Li An didn't know which level to look at for a while, and the words couldn't be explained clearly in a few words.

Summarize and summarize the core: "I really want to live with her in the future."

Old Li: "Don't think about it?"

Li An scratched his head: "It should be—about the same, haha."

Both grandpas laughed.

Lao Li: "Don't you also want to stay in Rongcheng?"

Li Ang nodded affirmatively: "We have already decided."

sigh.

"Let's work hard to make money first." Li An said with anticipation in his heart, "Let's see how this year will be. Actually, I'm quite optimistic about this year."

Then he shared his new year's work map with his father in detail.

After listening to Lao Li, he sighed, maybe he really couldn't keep up with the times, maybe he was eliminated by this era long ago, and he didn't know what Li An said was going on.

But he felt he understood.

Now that he understands, he doesn't have anything to worry about anymore, just like what Li Xueming said to him last night, Anzi has been down-to-earth since he was a child, so don't worry.

In the past three years since Li An graduated, Lao Li has always been worried about Li An's life and work in Rongcheng, and he was always worried. But this time when he came back, he did see that his son had grown up. "

Lao Li is happy:
"Your mother and I also discussed it last night. You can rest assured to do your business. Your mother is a person. In fact, you also know that she either doesn't want you outside, or she is worried that you will be under too much pressure outside. Can’t you see you suffering outside? As for me, I don’t have anything to worry about. It’s just that you are busy. Don’t forget your book. I don’t know anything about piano. When I was young, I felt very good when I heard you play the piano. Very nice."

moment.

"Practice more when you are free."

Li An opened his mouth, only to hear his father continue. "Is the target named Chen Xuan?"

Li An: "Er Dong Chen, add a melody next to the word Wang, Chen Xuan."

Lao Li nodded: "Although we haven't seen each other before, we also think Xiao Chen is a pretty good girl from what you said, so you can take care of yourself. When you think it's almost done, let's go to another house to have a look. I also I checked the house price in Charong City, it is not cheap."

"It's not cheap, we have to fix it, no matter which girl follows you, can't you live without a house?"

"As for your parents, they don't have any skills, so they saved some money for you."

"I originally planned to buy you a house at home. Since you decided to develop in Rongcheng in the future, you should learn more about the market of houses there when you go back this time."

"It depends on the situation. If you are suitable, please speak up. At worst, let's borrow it first. I will retire in the next year, and the mine can give me another sum of money."

"I'll count it all in for you, that's the total number."

Lao Li stretched out five fingers.

"It's enough to make a down payment."

"I'm telling you this, so that you don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't resist when you encounter something, your parents are still there, you want to talk about us in the future"

"I got it, I got it." Li An couldn't stop listening, and interrupted Lao Li, "I got it, I got it."

"Where is all this talking about the Chinese New Year?"

"Don't hold back your little money. I don't need it at all. I should eat and smoke. Buy some decent clothes for my mother. I will live in a big villa in the future."

Li An laughed at himself while talking, stopped for a moment, and then said softly, "Then your little money is not enough to buy me a house."

Lao Li also grinned, and the creases in the corners of his eyes became shy, "We don't know much."

"How much can I help you make up?"

"Father, stop talking."

a long time.

"I see."

Following An's mother's call in the yard, Lao Li picked up the crutches at hand and got up, hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Forget it."

"Don't go, his mouth is like that, and he has a good heart."

After all, he limped away.

Leaving Li An alone on the sofa for a long time.

Originally, he really didn't intend to go to Li Xuedong's house for this meal, he even waited for his father to ask him, and then he sternly refused.

But who would have thought that when he wanted to go with his father, his father would leave by himself.

Always walk so cleanly.

It was a long time again.

Li Xuefeng, Li Xuefeng.

How come you have such a father.

-

So on the night of the first day of the new year, Li An did not go to Cheng Li Xuedong's house in the end, and Li Jun did not call halfway.

If Li Jun calls him, he will go as soon as he puts on his clothes.

He watched TV with his grandpa and grandma in the main room. After Li Rui and his uncle left, there were only three grandparents left in the room.

He took out the New Year's presents he had bought for the two elderly people, each with a new coat, the grandmother's was purple, and the grandfather's was black.

The old lady blamed him for wasting money, and he said it was cheap.

The old man touched the delicate fabric of the coat and kept thumbing his thumbs. The smile on his face gave Li An an indescribable sense of comfort.

Li An asked the old man to try it on, but the old man waved his hand and said it was a tea dress.

Then he carefully stuffed the packing tape back, and put his own one into the cabinet.

An episode.

The three of them continued to watch TV, while Li An was chatting with the grandmother while replying to Chen Xuan's message.

When talking about finding a partner, the grandmother asked him if he could still see his great-grandson. Li An could only use his voice to cover up his embarrassment, "Yes, why not, take care of your health and work hard for another two years while I'm outside."

The old grandma held his hand and rubbed it back and forth, muttering something that he couldn't hear very clearly, the general meaning might be: we are fine, don't worry.

On the other hand, he heard the old man's words clearly, "Drink less outside."

Just like that, Li An stared at the TV while holding the mobile phone, sitting between the two old people and unconsciously became sleepy again.

I don't know when I lay down on my back.

When Mom and Dad came back, he vaguely heard it, but he really couldn't open his eyes.

On the phone, he didn't reply to the last message Xiaomi sent him.

Xiaomi: Should we go home tomorrow morning?
-
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li An got up earlier than the chicken.

When I opened my eyes, I felt that I was alive again, and my head and stomach were no longer uncomfortable.

Grandpa is right, drink less.

Quietly got up, picked up the phone and looked at the long list of expressions, and then pulled it to the top.

After a while, he replied: I was too sleepy last night and fell asleep. I will go back when my parents wake up. I have to go to grandma’s house today. How do you arrange it today?
Put down the phone and get off the kang to wash up briefly, then went to the kitchen in the back room to take a look, grabbed a piece of pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.

While eating, he came to the yard and came to the pigsty to observe for a while. Although the old sow was still lying there lazily, he noticed that there was less pig food in the trough than yesterday.

Happy.

"Get well soon."

Li An felt more and more that he was starting to care about this yard.

But that doesn't mean he can let go of the fact that there is no old man's house in the yard.

The sister-in-law called the family a few times in two years, and the family reserved a room for her. The father was on crutches, and he was busy with big and small things, but in the end he didn't have a room of his own, and he had to stay in someone else's room to whisper to his son. ?

Even though Li An knew that the main reason for this was because his father didn't argue about it, so what.

However, the past is also in the past, what else can he do, call the whole family together for a family meeting.

He will not mention the past.

But starting today, he will never allow such a thing to happen again.
-
On the way home, Lao Li asked Li An how the conversation about Li Zheng yesterday was going. Originally, Lao Li wanted to ask Li An about this yesterday afternoon, but when he entered the room, he was surrounded by several questions and forgot about it. .

"The teacher they found for the child is unreliable. Yanjing is blowing it up. Brother Li Hua now wants Li Zheng to be admitted to the Rongcheng Conservatory of Music..."

Paused.

"I want to have a relationship with me."
