Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 371 72. Mother and Daughter Argue, Both Ends of the Balance

Wang Xiaohu has enjoyed the convenience brought by various relationships since he was a child.

In the kindergarten, he was the child who was hugged and coaxed by the childcare teacher to take a nap in the eyes of other children.

In elementary school, he was a naughty boy who would never be criticized by the teacher in the eyes of other children.

But is this really convenient?
Wang Xiaohu's various bad habits come from his family and also from his school.

2022 is Wang Xiaohu's birth year.

Xu Li hopes that after her son's birthday in August, he can welcome a new September and a new beginning.

Xu Li didn't want her son to continue to live under the protection of a special halo in junior high school, because she knew that one day her son would step out of their wings.

Grandma Xiaohu persuaded: "Xiaohu has grown up and is sensible, and he will not be like when he was a child. Let him know that there is a grandfather in school, and he will feel at ease. In case he is bullied by his classmates, or there is something urgent , so he knows who to look for."

Xu Li: "Xiaohu has grown up and is sensible. He should also go to the head teacher when he encounters problems."

Grandma Xiaohu: "Look at what you are talking about. You are also a person who has worked in management. Isn't that what society is like now? Why can't we take shortcuts if we have a relationship?"

Xu Li asked: "What kind of shortcut? He has been taking shortcuts since kindergarten. I didn't want him to go to Jinhua when he was young. Everyone said that his aunt was there and he was easy to take care of. Okay, who is he ahead of now? "

"There are [-] children in the grade department, and they can't even get in the top [-]. You have to praise him for two days for all homework, Mom."

"It's time for us to wake up. The current grades are not important, and it doesn't matter whether he can realize his own problems. The important thing is that we must recognize these problems. He is not young, and we can no longer let him continue to live in the He's in his comfort zone."

Grandma Xiaohu remained silent for a moment, "Then you should discuss it with your father."

Hearing her mother sigh, Xu Li felt exhausted again for no reason, "Mom, I understand, since Xiao Chuan left, Xiaohu really has been lacking a care, plus my work in the past two years, these years are really hard. I'm really grateful for you and my dad, but."

"What are you talking about?" Grandma Xiaohu took her daughter's hand, squeezed it slightly, and sighed with a smile, "I still talk about this with my mother. Mom understands. Is it because I am afraid that you will work too hard, and I always think that Xiaohu will be taken care of at school. Come on, it can make you relax."

"You say I'm not sober, and my mother tells you that my mother is the most sober, Lili, and you will know in the future. Parents have a lot of heart, and they can't finish it. Sometimes people have to accept their fate. At that time, I Against you and Xiao Chuan, what happened, in a blink of an eye you said you were four months old."

"Later, my mother realized a truth, what kind of person is his fate, so you said that those children who have connections in school are not allowed?"

"Is it okay for children from single-parent families?"

"Mom also has the same attitude towards your marriage problem now. You are still young and you should fight for your own life."

"Mom won't ask anything this time, trust you, even if you don't get a good result in the end this time, it doesn't matter, like your father worrying about this and that all day long, what's the use, good things can't be bad, bad things It's okay, it's okay Lili, at worst it will be the four of us, what's the matter?"

"Remember."

"With your mother here, some things are not your turn to worry about."

Xu Li wiped the corners of her eyes, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Back in the living room, Xu Li finally let out the breath she was holding in her chest. This is her mother.

Although she disagreed with some of her mother's views, the phrase "with your mother here, some things are not your turn to worry about" seemed to inject infinite power into her body.

Maybe what my mother said is right, at worst, it will only be the four of us, what else can we do.

At least she fought for it, no matter for her son or herself.

2022 is Wang Xiaohu's natal year, and also Xu Li's natal year.

Although 36 years old is a hurdle for women, but life is only half-baked, maybe we should reflect on it, maybe we should let life be up to me.

Who knows if this belongs to Xu Li.

The only result that can be drawn here is that Xu Li is slightly better than Wang Xiaohu on the question of how to get rid of the scholar.

Then she watched TV with her mother for a while, and took out her mobile phone to look at it from time to time.

Normally, Bai Zijun should have sent her a message by now.

moment.

Xu Li: Are you home yet?
After waiting for about 15 minutes, the other party still did not reply to her message.

Seeing that it was a quarter past ten, she picked up the set orange and knocked on the door of the north bedroom. Seeing that Wang Xiaohu was playing happily, she couldn't bear to interrupt, so she had to interrupt, "Put down the things and wash your hands, and then eat something." Tangerine brushes her teeth, washes her face, and prepares for bed."

Wang Xiaohu didn't look back, his left eye was fixed on the lens of the microscope, and he said anxiously: "Wait, Mom, I haven't found the bug yet."

Xu Li: "Who said to go to bed at 10:30 on time, let grandpa continue to watch you look for tomorrow."

"Okay." Wang Xiaohu raised his head reluctantly, and rubbed his hands together, "It's really fun."

Then turned around and ran to Xu Li's ear and kissed, "Thank you, mom!"

Xu Li smiled: "Do you like it?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded: "I like it!"

As he spoke, he grabbed two oranges on the plate with his dirty hands and fed them to his mouth. Then he fled to the living room with his mother chasing him, shouting to grandma for help.
-
Supervisor Wang Xiaohu washed up and went to bed, Xu Li and her son said good night and turned off the lights and the door for each other.

Then Xu Li also went to the bathroom to wash up, then greeted her parents and went back to the bedroom.

After changing into her pajamas and lying down, she picked up her phone and saw Bai Zijun's reply.

Bai Zijun: I'm sorry, I just received a call from Lao Zhang suddenly. It's an emergency.

When Xu Li was taking off her makeup just now, she was expecting to express her feelings with Bai Zijun tonight, but she didn't expect that the other party would encounter work problems.

Xu Li: Is there anything I can help you with?
Bai Zijun: I really need you to do me a favor.

Xu Li: say

Bai Zijun: I need you to put down your phone for a while and sleep peacefully.

Xu Li: I don't think you're busy at all. Let's not talk about it. You should finish your work early and go back to rest. Be careful when driving on the road.

Bai Zijun: You don't want to sleep peacefully, how can I work peacefully? Tonight I will probably fight until dawn.

Xu Li: Is there a problem with the project plan?
Bai Zijun: A little bit of a situation.

Xu Li: Got it, I'm asleep.

Bai Zijun: Good night and sweet dreams
moment.

Xu Li: By the way, Xiaohu likes it very much, thank you

Bai Zijun: You’re welcome, as long as he likes it

Xu Li suddenly didn't know what to answer. If it were the Bai Zijun she knew in the past chats, she would definitely use her words to make a "little joke" with her, just like once again she was in a bad mood, Bai Zijun Amused her with a joke, she said thank you, and then the other party asked her if she had any small benefits.

She thought that the other party was probably busy with work today, and before she knew it, she seemed to be a little bit disappointed.

But soon she became worried about another matter. When she was checking out today, she met Teacher Li's girlfriend. She didn't know if she was seen sitting with Bai Zijun for dinner.

Teacher Li has never known the situation of herself and her son. If she sees a misunderstanding and asks about Xiaohu in class, she will be passive.

At present, she hasn't decided what to say to Xiaohu, and it's not the time to say so.

It seemed that it was necessary for her to say hello to the other party. After thinking about it, she decided to send Xiaohu to class by herself this Saturday, and explain to Teacher Li in advance before class.

Um--

One concern was settled for the time being, and then another matter, about the problem Grandpa Xiaohu mentioned, the time conflict between cram school and piano class.

If Xiaohu went to the cram school on Saturday morning, he would only have time for piano lessons on Saturday afternoon.

I don't know if Teacher Li is free on Saturday afternoon?

Let's ask together when the time comes.

Xu Li: good night

Putting down her cell phone, Xu Li turned off the bedside lamp.
-
22:32
Across the street from the main entrance of Rongcheng Conservatory of Music, in front of Fulin Restaurant, there is a silver Lexus ES300H with double flashing lights.

Inside the car, Bai Zijun was flipping through the photo album on his mobile phone, when a tall figure stepped out from the gate far away from the window.

Looking closer, it was a girl in a plaid skirt, carrying a black bag in the shape of a violin in her hand.

Bai Zijun put down his phone, opened the car window and waved his hand.

The girl trotted and opened the passenger door, and when she got in the car, she urged him to hurry up. She kept turning her head to look at the school gate, as if she was afraid that others would see the scene just now.

Bai Zijun smiled, and patted the opponent's clean thigh lightly, as if signaling him to relax.

"Tonight is going well?

As he spoke, he started the car, and the girl laughed and answered him, "It sucks, everyone didn't practice well, and the instructor got really angry."

Bai Zijun: "When is the performance?"

Girl: "Do you want to come and see?"

Bai Zijun: "How could I miss your performance."

The girl smiled, thought for a while and then changed the subject, "So won't it delay your work tonight?"

The girl received a message from Bai Zijun an hour ago, and she thought that he would not have time to visit her this week.

Bai Zijun: "I finished work early today, so I came to see you."

Girl: "Uncle, you miss me so much, so where shall we go first tonight?"

Bai Zijun smiled: "Of course I will feed you first."
-
The school gate was quiet for 2 minutes, and two taxis stopped one after the other.

Ma Fei and his group got out of the car and hurried towards the campus.

"Don't worry," Ma Fei asked everyone to slow down, "The school symphony orchestra rehearsed for the past two days, and the dormitory closed late."

As the few people were talking, they saw a large number of senior brothers and sisters carrying various musical instruments coming out of the gate of the rehearsal hall one after another.

Someone couldn't help but envy, "Brother Fei, we can participate in these activities anytime."

Ma Fei: "Prepare the program and ask a professional teacher to review it, and then submit the application with the department and wait in line. It is said that it is easy to apply for the weekend concert now, but whether anyone will watch it is another matter."

Back in the dormitory, Ma Fei took out his phone and added Li An's WeChat.
-
"Brother, we have arrived at the dormitory."

When seeing Ma Fei's friend application, Li An and his party were about to return home from Yutouzhuang.

In order to get Lao Bian back, Qin Yong finally called Kong Dong.

On this day, Li An considered Qin Yong, the two brothers, to be complete.

Before leaving the private room, Kong Dong asked Li An to have a good drink next time, and Li An also said yes, just now the two took a few sips of the last remaining wine, it can be seen that they did not drink enough .

A few people easily got Lao Bian from the restaurant to the car, of course the help of the boss and a few waiters was indispensable.

Not only that, the boss also sent a stack of coupons.

"Okay, you two go back quickly, we have no problem."

After settling down in the old side, Qin Yong poked his head out from the rear compartment and said to Li An and Chen Xuan, "You guys go back quickly, and have a good rest at home tomorrow."

Li An nodded, "Bye bye Brother Yong, be careful on the road."

That's it, the recording day is over.

On a day full of rewards and excitement, on the way home, Li An verified and passed Ma Fei's friend application.

Then he picked up the phone and held Chen Xuan's hand, "If you have a chance to record it again tomorrow, do you think it will be better than the last one today?"

Chen Xuan looked at the roof of the car and thought for a moment, "I don't know."

The two recorded three times today, and there was almost no difference to her ears.

She worked very hard, and she knew that Ang Lee would work even harder.

She is playing according to her own thinking, and the other party is always accompaniment following her own thinking.

But in fact, the effect of this is not what she imagined, so she doesn't know if there is a chance to play together again tomorrow, whether recording according to this idea will be better than today, or she is already too tired , no energy to think about this issue.

But the harvest is always good.

For Chen Xuan, today's Mozart recording is more like a step forward. With the help of Ang Lee, she has overcome the psychological barrier brought to her by this work to a certain extent.

Chen Xuan: "Thank you."

Li An: "Then you will pack lunch tomorrow."

Chen Xuan: "OK."

If, she meant if, if she was going to take part in this competition, at least she wouldn't have to worry about a certain piece that was required to perform in a certain round.

But to participate or not to participate is still a realistic question of her upper level.

But the balance between A and B has gradually tilted slightly.
-
In the dead of night, some people were snoring and some were panting.

Others gritted their teeth.

Wang Xiaohu curled up under the quilt, his teeth itching with hatred.

"Dead again." He muttered and took a breath.

This is already his fifth box.
-
At noon of the next day, Li An buckled the piano cover and walked out of the study, washed his hands and prepared to cook, and then the door of Chen Xuan's cabin was pushed open.

"What are you doing?" Chen Xuan looked puzzled.

"Cooking." Li Anxin said that there is no need to ask.

"Didn't you leave it to me?" Chen Xuan said, "I ordered takeaway."

Li Anao let out a cry, then closed the refrigerator door and smiled, "Hey, what was that song you played just now? I haven't heard you play it before."

Early in the morning, the two of them seemed to have made an agreement. After breakfast, they each retreated to their huts to start practicing.

It stands to reason that the video recording just ended yesterday, so shouldn't the two of them take a good rest today.

It's understandable for Li An to do this. After all, he is a madman practicing piano, and there is also a concert in the clouds. It is reasonable to use this rare day to practice the tune.

But Chen Xuan spent the whole morning with a piece that sounded extremely complicated.

Ang Lee: "Huh?"

Chen Xuan: "What do you say first?"

Ang Lee: "How about what?"

Chen Xuan: "How about this song?"

Ang Lee: "It feels a bit like the kind of difficult repertoire for competition."

Chen Xuan: "...is there any?"

Just then, the cell phone rang in the study.
-
"Hey, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, please excuse me, I am the person in charge of our Rongcheng Cup Organizing Committee, Sun Zhihu."
