Please, come home and practice the piano

After buying some groceries at the market opposite the Telecommunications Bureau, Li An came out and bought a small blue cart.

He hung the vegetable bag on the handlebar and was about to pedal towards home when he suddenly had an idea and dropped the handlebar 180 degrees and pedaled in the opposite direction.

Within a few minutes of pedaling, he was sweating profusely.

The weather is really hot, and there are really few pedestrians on the road at this point. There are only cars passing by, and even the trees on both sides of the road look listless.

After pedaling for about five minutes, he finally saw the gate of Shipo Middle School from a distance.

He took a random photo and sent it to the car, which was a reply to the sentiment that the child had just sent to him.

When I was having dinner with Xu Li just now, Xiaoche sent him a photo. On the photo was the word "teacher" made of shredded green peppers. The background was a yellow wood grain cutting board covered with white pepper seeds. Chili seeds are scattered around the "teacher", which is very unique, thoughtful and beautiful.

Sharing is an outward emotion, and Li An was very pleased. After this summer camp, the little thing's entire state was in an upward state.

She could feel it from the piano practice video Xiaoche sent her in the morning, and the energetic piano sound almost overflowed from the phone screen.

Parking his bicycle at the bus stop in front of the school, Li An gave up the idea of ​​riding home and looked at the bus stop sign. Bus 57 goes directly to the door of his house. This is a good feeling.

After waiting for less than three minutes, a No. 57 bus drove up and Li An got on.

Bus No. 57 headed south and passed Yunkaiyuan Area A after a while.

"The next stop is Area D, Yunkaiyuan. Please get off and go to the back door."

Li An was thinking about how to introduce the course to the book masters. When he heard the voice prompt of the bus, he was about to get off the bus.

When my hand was empty, I quickly stood up and looked up and down. I felt bad!

What about the dishes?

I was thinking about other things when I parked my bicycle just now, and the dish fell on the handlebar of the bicycle.

sweat--

Fortunately, when he rushed back by car, he saw the bicycle he had just ridden from a distance through the car window. The vegetable bag on the car was still hanging there safely.

However, it didn't take long after all the fussing around. At half past one, Li An entered the house and started cleaning as planned.

As soon as the computer music was turned on, listening to the vigorous Beethoven No. 9, Ang Lee changed into his "work clothes" for home, and then threw 80,000 yuan into the hut where Chen Xuan practiced flute.

When the air conditioner is on at home in late summer, meow and Beethoven can also go together better.

Teacher Li An worked hard. In order to deal with the large amount of cat hair accumulated on the living room floor, when he saw that the broom and mop could not deal with the corners, he simply knelt on the ground with a rag.

After wiping the entire living room, his waist could hardly stand up straight. This was the result of lack of exercise.

The ground was finally visible. Li An rested his hands on his hips for a moment, then went to the balcony to collect his clothes.

The clothes washed in the morning had been dried in the morning, and then he stuffed a few sofa covers into the washing machine.

While washing the sofa covers, he sorted out the suitcases of the two of them, returning the things that should be put to their original places, and waiting for the next time the washing machine can wash them.

The dress must not be washed in the washing machine. Order directly on your mobile phone for dry cleaning to be picked up at your door.

Time passed little by little, and the living room became tidy little by little. Finally, all the garbage in the living room was sorted into a garbage bag, and Li An went on to clean up the study.

The study is okay, but the key is that it's hairless.

I wiped it clean and put the souvenirs I brought back in the cabinet. It took fifteen minutes to finish the set.

"I have to get two picture frames when I get back."

He took Xiaoxing's father's painting and looked at it again and again. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He said that he was a painter and the painting was so good, especially the second one, which completely restored the scene of their teachers and students bowing at the end of the seventh day. The children's expressions are all vividly depicted.

Li An thought about it, he would keep this one in his study room, and he would have to keep it in his new home's study room when he moved in the future, and the other one would be kept in his school's piano room.

When he thought about having his own school soon, he was no longer tired anymore. He put away the two paintings, and then went to tidy up their bedroom.

Another hour passed in the blink of an eye. Thanks to Teacher Li's hard work, the whole home looked as clean and tidy as if they had just moved in. The smell of Blue Moon laundry detergent filling the air made people feel physically and mentally happy.

After the boy who came to pick up the items took away their dresses, Li An sent the last wave of clothes into the washing machine.

"It's done!"

Finally done, Li An picked up his phone and was about to show it off to Chen Xuan when he saw the message Xiao Che sent him five minutes ago.

'Teacher, have you gone to Shizhong? '

'I have been practicing the piano and then I saw it'

Okay, this is another two and a half hours of practice, which is worthy of praise.

81,000: I stopped by for a walk. How was your afternoon practice?

moment.

Xiaoche: I don’t know, I just practiced two more

Bawanyi: Let’s practice. Just send me some videos after practice every day. If you don’t say anything else, you can continue quickly.

Xiaoche: Teacher, I will practice again in the evening. Now I have to practice cooking.

ha? Practice cooking? Li An was puzzled.

Bawanyi: Don’t you know how to cook?

Xiaoche: I want to learn more dishes. I cook my lunch myself, and I have to cook for them in the evening!

So that’s it, Ang Lee said what happened to the chili photo at noon, it turned out to be practice.

Eighty-one: Be careful not to cut your hand.

Xiaoche: Yes, teacher, don’t worry!

81,000: Go get in touch.

Eighty-One: Practice

Xiaoche: Hahahaha, bye teacher!

Finally, Xiaoche sent an emoji of a dancing red panda. Li An did not reply, but shook his head and smiled: "If you want to learn a few more dishes, that's fine."

"Okay."

Mumbling, he turned to Lao Dong's WeChat and clicked to send a voice message: "Principal Qi has agreed that the day after tomorrow, you will ask Shi Qi to contact the person in charge, Teacher Wang, and they will coordinate the rest of the work. We will wait until school starts. Later, it’s not convenient for him recently.”

Li An didn't mention tea to Lao Dong again. At 4:30, Li An set off from home with the dress Chen Xuan bought for Lin Guoguo. When he was about to arrive in Yudong, he called Chen Xuan and asked Chen Xuan to take it with Lao Dong. Dong's tea is ready to go downstairs.

At a quarter past five, the two of them met and set off for Wei Fangyuan's house.
-

"sister."

"Sister Yuan, long time no see!"

"Come in and cool down, it's hot outside today."

Wei Fangyuan was busy in the kitchen and opened the door as soon as she heard the doorbell.

Seeing Chen Xuan coming in behind, still carrying something in her hand, she really didn't know what to say, so she could only tell Li An something.

Li An didn't care and said cheerfully: "You don't drink tea, so you have too many things to do."

"Sister, please stop cooking. I can't eat it at all. I'm going to check on Guoguo. This girl is quite honest today."

After entering the house, Li An stopped being polite and followed the sound of the piano to Lin Guoguo's bedroom.

Lin Guoguo had long heard the movement outside the door. If it were normal times, she would have rushed out long ago, but she was beaten in the afternoon and is still shaking now.

As soon as she saw the teacher pushing the door open, Lin Guoguo felt aggrieved. She sat in front of the piano, turned her head, and twisted her little face together with a whoosh. This startled Li An, and he wondered what was going on, so he hurried over to comfort him.

At the same time, both people in the living room heard Lin Guoguo crying. Chen Xuan frowned, and Wei Fangyuan said it was okay.

"I had to play with her mobile phone in the afternoon, but I took care of it. She was waiting for you to come. You see, she started when she saw Li An."

Chen Xuan smiled apologetically: "Guo Guo is usually very obedient."

Wei Fangyuan: "Didn't I get sick some time ago? I stayed at her grandma's house for a few days, but she took the opportunity to play with her mobile phone. Her grandparents didn't dare to care. We picked her up yesterday afternoon and almost let her go in the evening. Dad beat me."

"It's okay if the child is not around for three days," he said, before changing his voice and pouring water for Chen Xuan. "Xiao Chen, please sit down first and watch TV and drink some water."

"Don't knock me down, Sister Yuan," Chen Xuan quickly put down her bag, "I'll help you, take this opportunity to learn a few tricks."

While they were joking, the two girls entered the kitchen together, and soon the sound of the piano from the bedroom next door came again.

About half an hour later, Lin Yan also rushed home and joined the kitchen battle group.

By the time Li An came out of the bedroom with Lin Guoguo, the dining table was already filled with large and small plates.

Wei Fangyuan still ignored Lin Guoguo and only said to Li An: "Wash your hands and get ready to eat. Your brother-in-law has one last dish."

Li An didn't answer, and pushed the little man next to him. Lin Guoguo awkwardly stepped forward and walked to Wei Fangyuan. Her milky voice was still a little aggrieved: "Mom, I was wrong, I shouldn't have done it." If you don’t sleep and play with your phone, I won’t do it if you don’t let me play with my phone in the future.”

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Li An, who gave a thumbs up.

Wei Fangyuan was annoyed and funny by the young and old acting in front of her. This is a performance for me. However, her daughter also apologized for her mistake and said a little tougher, "I will forgive you just once and wash your hands." Bar."

Children are sensitive. When they see details familiar to their mother's expression, they immediately know that they have passed the test.

I happily followed the teacher to the bathroom.

There was a loud banging sound in the kitchen, and Li An jumped right in, "Hey, this stir-fried kidney is delicious, brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work!"

"Haha, go out and wait." Lin Yan shook the wok, quite like a chef, "Let's start the meal right away."

Seeing that there was nothing left to intervene, Li An simply cleaned up the garbage on the surface.

A minute later, he came to the restaurant with a plate of kidney beans that were not very bright in color and said, "Stir-fried kidney beans are on the table!"

Behind him, Lin Yan took off his apron and was about to get wine from the wine cabinet when Li An turned around and held him down, "Brother-in-law, we are not drinking today."

Li An heard what Wei Fangyuan said on the phone. Recently, Lin Yan had dinner with his boss every day and came back every day to throw up in the toilet. Li An said this was a good thing.

So I won't drink today and let Lin Yan rest. Besides, people don't like to drink. He knows that.

Lin Yan was not polite and put down the drink when he saw this.

The four of them added a Linguoguo, drank wine with juice, and had a drink.

What should we respect? Just respect the opening of school. What can four educators respect?

"Brother-in-law has been busy recently." Li An picked up the chopsticks and took a slice of the waist first.

"Hey, I'm just busy and can't get results. Unlike you, come on, Xiao Chen, use your chopsticks quickly and try the fish cooked by your sister. I usually can't eat it, but today I've benefited from you."

After saying that, Lin Yan looked at Li An again, grinned and said, "This trip has been quite rewarding. I will have to call you Principal Li from now on."

"Brother-in-law, you are just scolding me. I have no pursuit. If you want to be the principal, you are not free to choose in Guangyuan."

Suddenly, "Dad said he didn't want to be the principal."

As soon as Lin Guoguo's words came out, the dinner table burst into laughter. Wei Fangyuan felt angry and funny. When did Lin Guoguo hear the two of them talking, "You two, stop talking nonsense in front of the children."

Li An: "Come on, brother-in-law, I'll toast you with this cup. If I had known you were busy recently, I wouldn't have made the trip."

Lin Yan waved his hand: "If you don't come, we will have to eat by ourselves. Guoguo has been talking about you all day long, but she has been behaving badly recently and was almost punished by me last night."

The two touched each other, and Li An put down the cup: "I told her just now, and she also promised that she would not use her mobile phone outside the specified time in the future. Is that Lin Guoguo?"

Lin Guoguo took the chicken fillet and nodded happily, "Yeah!" and then stuffed it into her mouth.

Lin Yan: "You have to talk to her more in the future, and she will be willing to listen to you."

Lin Guoguo puffed up her cheeks, "Yeah!"

Everyone: "Eat, eat."

During the meal, Li An chatted about his trip to Yanjing, and also briefly talked about his opening of a school and his cooperation with book writers.

Wei Fangyuan and his wife also heard what Lao Wei said. They did not expect that Li An could take down the bookman by some combination of circumstances, and they were also happy for Li An.

When it came to the scope of running the school, they were a little surprised to hear that Li An did not plan to engage in wind music. After all, they thought that with the huge student source of scholars, would it be a bit difficult to only do piano? waste.

“I thought about this issue over and over again, and finally gave up the idea of ​​creating a hodgepodge.”

"The students who can be caught are the sources of students, and those who cannot be caught are burdens. I can't change my initial strategic ideas because of the book people. If I open a comprehensive training school around cooperation with the book people, , even if the revenue is good in the first year, in the future, the book writer may not cooperate with me next year, so what will I do next year, my plate is all set."

Wei Fangyuan nodded.

Li An: "Sister, are you right? My initial idea was to be a pure piano teaching base, either focusing on piano or only doing piano."

Wei Fangyuan: "I think it is right. There is too much but not enough precision. Most of the current market in Chengdu is comprehensive art training. In fact, from a parent's point of view, if my child wants to learn piano, or I want to send my child to learn piano, .”

After a pause, "I would prefer to choose a professional piano learning institution for her."

Ang Lee: "Perhaps I think the art training industry should no longer be defined by professional or non-professional. How did parents view majors twenty years ago, how did parents view majors fifteen years ago, and what did parents think ten years ago? Regarding majors, how do parents today view majors?”

"The definition of major is actually changing all the time, and the modern world where parents grow up is also changing, but no one can give a clear definition of what a major in art training is."

Li An's words made Chen Xuan fall into deep thought.

Lin Yan: "Indeed."

Ang Lee: "Twenty years ago, there was no concept of professionalism. There were people teaching musical instruments on the street, and a lesson cost ten or twenty yuan. If the children were interested, their parents would tell them to go and learn."

"Fifteen years ago, the art exam became popular. At that time, university teachers became synonymous with professionalism in the minds of parents."

“Ten years ago, there was a craze for sending art abroad, and the moon abroad was round.”

“Today, the Internet has really made the whole world the size of a globe, and there are no secrets anymore. So today’s parents, when they see a diploma majoring in music, they don’t doubt whether it is a major. "

"But today's parents need more than just a professional teacher."

"Because parents' needs are always changing, and for the sake of their children, their true needs cannot be hidden."

"Sister, why did you say that you would choose a professional piano learning institution for your child instead of a professional teacher?"

The three of them were stunned.

"That's why."

moment.

"Establishing an independent and complete curriculum and teaching system is the only way to develop art training on a large scale."

Regarding opening schools, Ang Lee has been reflecting on it all summer, a lot of reflection.
