Please, come home and practice the piano

After blowing out the candles and making wishes, the car’s birthday party came to the next stage.

Taking advantage of the brief gap, the children left the scene together as if they were talking, except Marco who remained beside the cake.

According to the order they had agreed upon privately, Marco first took out the gift he had prepared for the car from his pocket.

"Happy birthday."

Xiao Che was just wondering what everyone was doing when she saw Marco handing her a slender rectangular gift box with both hands. The blue wrapping paper was particularly delicate under the light.

"Thank you!"

The car stretched out his hands happily and took it carefully.

Although she couldn't see what was inside the gift box, she already liked it just by looking at the wrapping paper.

This was the first time she received a gift from someone other than her family on her birthday, "Thank you Marco."

Marco chuckled, "It doesn't matter."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Fengrui and Wang Xiaohu were seen running from the direction of the bar.

Xiao Liu had a purple gift box in his hand, and Wang Xiaohu had a red gift box that looked a little bloated.

"Happy birthday Che Lin."

Xiao Liu walked up to the car, handed the gift he had chosen for Che Lin with both hands, and said his sincere blessing: "I hope you can play the piano better and better."

"Thank you, thank you Liu Fengrui." Xiaoche took it carefully again, "I will definitely work hard to practice the piano."

Xiao Liu also smiled and came closer: "I have a simple version of Stars and Sea, I will make arrangements when I have time."

Car: "Arrangement!"

Ang Lee joked, "Look at Liu Fengrui, this gift is so worth it."

Everyone laughed, except Wang Xiaohu, who was still tinkering with the gift box in his drum with an awkward look on his face.

Seeing that it was his turn, Wang Xiaohu's face looked like he was constipated. He stepped forward and handed over the gift he had prepared for Che Lin. When people give gifts, they always say happy birthday first, so he came up and gave an explanation first.

"There's something wrong with the packaging."

Only then did everyone notice that the red gift box in Wang Xiaohu's hand was bulging, as if a badminton had been forced into a cigarette box. Was there something wrong with the packaging?

"Don't mind."

Please explain. Wang Xiaohu didn’t know how to explain it. Originally, he had always protected the gift box very well, and the gifts inside matched the gift box. However, he forced the penguin he bought at the Natural History Museum yesterday into it. , and then repackaged it myself.

This is what everyone sees now.

Originally he thought his packaging looked pretty good, but when he compared it with everyone else's, he regretted it a bit.

“Very cute packaging.”

Xiaoche thought the fat gift box was very interesting. She held Marco's gift in her left hand and the gift Liu Fengrui gave her under her left arm. She took the initiative to extend her right hand and said, "Thank you Wang Xiaohu."

Wang Xiaohu didn't have time to reflect on this thank you, and hurriedly handed it over with both hands. Only then did he remember to say happy birthday, and even the prepared words were forgotten in the panic, "Happy birthday Che Lin, uh, come on and practice the piano."

"Yeah," Xiaoche smiled sweetly, "Definitely!"

Seeing Che Lin accept his gift, Wang Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gave up his seat.

At this time, Xiaobei appeared next to the car carrying her dress bag. When the car took a look, wasn't it the dress bag Xiaobei had been looking for upstairs?

"Deng Deng Deng Deng——"

Xiaobei jumped forward and magically pulled out a small pink gift box from the dress bag with a beautiful bow on it, "Happy birthday Linlin, I made this myself!"

As he said this, he stuffed the gift box into Xiao Qi's arms, "I hope Linlin can make more good friends in Shipo!"

Listening to Xiaobei's wishes, Xiaoche was so moved that he didn't know what to say, "Thank you, Xiaobei."

Xiaobei: "But no matter how many good friends you make, you must remember our agreement to write to me every month."

Xiaoche nodded vigorously, "I write every week."

Xiaobei laughed happily and said, "Then I will write every day!"

Listening to the conversation between the two little girls, Yuan Xiaoyu smiled. The scene in front of her reminded her of a good friend she once had, but she didn't know if the other person was okay now.

"You must not have had a little sister like this when you were a kid," Li An whispered, poking Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan: "It really does."

Ang Lee: "How come I don't know?"

Chen Xuan: "Tch, you don't know much."

"Happy birthday Linlin."

The gift Ji Yang prepared for the car was an exquisite keychain. She did not package it mysteriously like a child. When she took it out, the gift was in a transparent packaging bag.

"Thank you, senior sister." Xiao Che fell in love with the keychain in front of him at a glance. On the keychain was a girl with short hair.

"Do you like it?" Ji Yang held the gift and waved it in front of the car.

Xiaoche: "I like it. I like the little man on it. He's as good-looking as my senior sister."

Ji Yang laughed, "This is you!"

Xiao Che was stunned and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

Ji Yang touched the car's head and said, "You are 13 years old. You don't have to hang the key around your neck anymore."

Xiaoche nodded vigorously again: "Yes!"

"Put it in your pocket for you," Ji Yang said, putting the car's gift into the car's trouser pocket.

Then Yuan Xiaoyu stepped forward and said, "Happy birthday, classmate Che Lin."

Xiaoche had actually seen the book in Teacher Yuan's hand. She knew what was going on, but she felt that she could not accept Teacher Yuan's gift.

But she didn't know what to do, so she looked at the teacher in embarrassment.

"I don't have any eyesight." Li An pretended to glare, "Why don't you thank Teacher Yuan quickly? Do you know how difficult it is to take a book away from this lobby? Hurry up."

"Thank you, Teacher Yuan!" Xiao Che bowed quickly, but there were a lot of things in his arms and his movements looked very clumsy.

"No, stand up straight." Yuan Xiaoyu also liked the car more and more the more she looked at it, so she didn't plan to say anything but wanted to send some blessings to the car, which could be regarded as a token of appreciation from the teacher.

"Go back and continue to work hard and study hard with Teacher Li. I hope to see you on a bigger stage in the future. I'm looking forward to it."

Xiaoche pursed her lips and her expression became solemn. She didn't know whether she would be able to perform on a bigger stage in the future, but she would do her best to learn piano from her teacher.

"Teacher Yuan, I will try my best to continue learning piano with you."

Yuan Xiaoyu raised the corner of his mouth, "Then we have agreed, now, this set of books will be given to you."

After a meal, "There is a saying about playing that I like very much and give it to you. Trill is like a doorbell. Once it rings, someone must open the door."

Li An raised his eyebrows. He laughed to himself that his children were about to start school and he didn't have time to read these books. How about he save these books for the car temporarily?

"Thank you, Teacher Yuan," Xiao Che freed up the space in her hand and took the two unopened books in front of her. She would definitely read this book carefully.

"You're welcome, come on, I'm very optimistic about you." Yuan Xiaoyu said and stepped away with a smile.

The children each finished sending their own gifts and blessings. Yuan Xiaoyu, as a participant tonight, replaced her teacher and her and sent out dresses and blessings.

The eyes of everyone at the scene gradually moved to Li An's face. As the "initiator" of tonight, what kind of gift would Teacher Li prepare for the car.

Everyone is looking forward to it, even Boss X, who has been sitting in front of the piano, is looking here while playing.

Xiaoqi is a little nervous. She is especially afraid of any expensive gifts the teacher will give her.

"It's my turn, right?"

Amidst the laughter of everyone, Li An walked around the bar and dyed a stack of music scores. There were about ten volumes in the stack, both thin and thick. Then he bent down and easily picked up a white shoulder bag from under the bar. Bag.

Then returned to the lobby.

Obviously, this is a new bag. There is no complicated design. The style is simple and elegant, without losing style. It is a very beautiful white school bag.

just.

Except for Xiao Che and Xiao Bei, all the other children were a little surprised, because they had seen this schoolbag when they arranged the scene with the teacher just now.

They thought it was Teacher Chen's bag, but they didn't expect it to be the gift the teacher had prepared for the car.

When Xiaobei saw this bag for the first time, he felt uncomfortable and happy at the same time.

What makes her sad is that Linlin finally has a new schoolbag.

Because when she saw this white bag, she thought of the small red schoolbag Linlin carried on her back every day.

When she first met Linlin, she didn't understand Linlin's situation. Once she saw that the corner of the book in Linlin's bag was protruding from the bottom of the bag. Out of concern for her friends, she told Linlin Your schoolbag was torn, and then Linlin smiled and said it was okay. After returning home, she told her mother about it, and her mother said that Linlin was frugal. After that, she discovered that Linlin was really frugal. She wore almost the same clothes and shoes every time she went to the teacher's house for class, and the water glass she used was also very old.

But Xiaobei is not stupid. She is also an older child. She can observe and understand some things. Later, she gradually discovered what was going on. It turned out that Linlin's mother did not work, and Linlin also had a little brother. Xiaobei understood .

So Xiaobei felt very uncomfortable when she saw Linlin carrying that worn-out little red schoolbag. Many times she wanted to ask Linlin how long she had been carrying the schoolbag, but she couldn't ask.

Until tonight in the background, she heard the teacher ask Linlin this question, and Linlin said five years.

Xiaobei can no longer remember what kind of schoolbag she was carrying five years ago. She just changed to a new multi-functional schoolbag this spring. She is about to enter junior high school, and she will need to change her schoolbag again.

Now looking at the teacher holding a new schoolbag in her hand, she felt an indescribable impulse in her heart. She felt uncomfortable, but even happier.

She was also happy because Linlin finally had a new schoolbag.

The teacher is so nice! The teacher is simply the best teacher in the world!

In the eyes of all the children, Li An walked to the car and stopped with his bag.

"Happy birthday little car."

Li An smiled at the flashing eyes of the car and said, "You are a junior high school student, so of course you have to carry a big schoolbag."

The scene was quiet, and Li An smiled awkwardly, "How to say it."

Xiao Ji rubbed his hands: "Teacher, you can say whatever you want."

Several adults were amused by Xiao Ji's expression, and the atmosphere at the scene relaxed a bit.

"Let's put it this way," Li An looked around and looked at each child's face carefully, "Today is Che Lin's birthday. I want to give this schoolbag to her, but at the same time, I also want to give it to each of you. A personal gift.”

Chen Xuan frowned slightly. What happened to Li An? What did the children think?

"Because this year is of great significance to you, you are no longer elementary school students." Li An paused and looked around again, "But today is Che Lin's birthday, so you have to wait a little longer, for example I want to give Wang Xiaohu a——"

"Teacher, don't tell me!" Wang Xiaohu was anxious, how could he know the surprise so easily!

The children's faces were full of surprise and astonishment. They never imagined that they were so important in the teacher's heart. They were far worse than Che Lin in playing.

Li An smiled and looked around for the third time, "Today is Che Lin's birthday. I want to give her a schoolbag, and I also want to give my wishes to each of you in advance."

The children's eyes were locked.

Li An paused, "You will soon be a glorious junior high school student, and you will bid farewell to your elementary school days."

"This also means that you will become a real teenager from a young child. You need to make a good plan for your life."

"Every stage of life should have plans and goals for each stage."

“Junior high school is the first critical period of life and will have a significant impact on your future life.

"You need to learn to be independent at this stage."

"Some of you may choose to live on campus. You will get the freedom you have always wanted, but you will also have to face the problems that come after freedom. You must learn to face and take responsibility."

"Eat meals at school for a week, and the meals will suit your taste."

"After completing your own heavy study tasks, you still have to deal with internal affairs."

"Are you ready?"

"As for those who don't live on campus, you still have to face one thing. Any problems you encounter in life, your parents will fully support you, but they can never replace you to complete what you should have done yourself. The tasks completed can never replace you in shouldering the responsibilities you should bear.”

"You need to understand the meaning of independence."

"While learning to be independent, you must also understand the meaning of learning."

"Although I know that the pressure of studying in middle school is very high now, far more than that of our time, the teacher still hopes that you can enjoy learning, and the teacher believes that you will enjoy learning."

“When you grow up and work, it’s hard to appreciate the joy you get from solving a complex equation.”

"Do you know how long the teacher usually practices the piano a day?"

Xiaobei: "Six."

Marco: "Eight."

Liu Fengrui: "Twelve."

The scene suddenly burst into joy.

Li An hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, just listen to me. The teacher still practices the piano for an average of four hours a day."

Wang Xiaohu: “That’s because of us.”

Li An suddenly choked up, "Don't tell me, it does have something to do with you, but four hours is not a lot, right?"

Xiao Ji: "That's a lot, okay! Teacher."

Ang Lee: "Don't you all think that I am very happy when I practice piano?"

The children nodded in unison.

Ang Lee: "It's really not."

The children were speechless!

Ang Lee: "Do you know which stage is my happiest time practicing piano?"

The children shook their heads. They always thought that the teacher was happy practicing the piano every day.

Boss X's voice came from afar: "It must be during the art exam."

The children looked: Huh?

Then Li An nodded with a smile and recalled: "At that time, whenever I solved a problem, I was so happy and excited. After practicing for a day, I was so tired that I couldn't straighten my waist, but as soon as I lay down, I still thought about it. Go to the piano and touch it a few more times.”

Car: Teacher! I feel this way too!

He sighed again, "But now it's no longer possible. There's no exam pressure anymore, so the excitement and joy of reaping rewards when practicing piano is not as strong as it was when I was a student."

After a meal, "So the teacher just wants to tell you, whether it is piano or studying, you must cherish the pressure in front of you. Only under this kind of pressure can you gain unexpected happiness. Only at this stage in life can you gain such happiness." hapiness."

"Teacher hopes that your life can be filled with all the happiness, those that the teacher has experienced, and those that the teacher has not experienced."

As Li Anzheng was talking, suddenly a long-lost ding sounded in his mind, followed by a series of ding ding ding.

Looking at Xiaobei without any trace, Li An saw that Xiaobei was already touching his eye sockets.

'Ding——Yu Xiaobei's teacher-student index reached 100——'

'Ding - the reward countdown starts -'

'Ding - the reward is being generated -'

Xiaobei, Xiaobei, the cutest Xiaobei, the softest Xiaobei.

"Learn to think independently, live independently, and study independently. These are the only ways for you to mature. Finally, the teacher hopes that you can grow up slowly, experience this process slowly, and enjoy this process."

"I hope that one day in the future, I will have the opportunity to listen to you talk to me about each of you's experiences in this process."

"Teacher, I won't ask you if you heard me today."

The children shouted in unison: "I heard it!"

Li An nodded happily, and finally looked at the car: "Linlin, this schoolbag is given to you. It not only means that you have grown up, but also means that your shoulders have become wider. It means that you can go further and do more. Something happened."

Xiaoche nodded slightly, his eyes showing an unprecedented determination.

Patting Xiaoqi's shoulder, Li An asked Xiaoqi to put all the gifts into the bag and put them away.

"Teacher me."

"You can choose to wait until some day in the future or do it now."

The car understood.

When the children happily helped the car load things together, the atmosphere at the scene became truly relaxed.

Chen Xuan went to the bar and took back the pile of music scores that Li An asked her to take out from her bag.

"Happy birthday Linlin, do you like it?"

Li An turned around and was stunned. When he turned around again, Xiao Che had already taken the sheet music from Chen Xuan's hand with joy on his face, caressing it gently for a moment, "Thank you! Thank you, Teacher Chen!"

Chen Xuan smiled: "How long do you plan to finish practicing? I need to make a plan when I get back."

how long?

Xiao Che looked at the teacher and asked excitedly: "Teacher! Can I finish practicing in three years of junior high school?!"

After Li An thought about it seriously again, this time he had to admit, "The pressure may be a bit high."

Xiaoche grinned, then turned around and put all the music in her hand into her new schoolbag.

Standing behind the small car, under the warm light, Li An and Chen Xuan looked at each other, one smiled and frowned, and the other frowned and smiled.
