Please, come home and practice the piano

At that time, Chen Xuan said that she had an idea. When Li An saw Chen Xuan's expression, he couldn't help but laugh too.

"Then let Teacher Chen help with the analysis."

When Chen Xuan heard Li An sighing on the left and right, she knew what was going on in his heart.

"Don't we still have an empty room in our house?"

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, she continued without waiting for Li An's reaction:

"When I leave, that room will be completely useless. Why wait for me to leave? I'm already idle now, and all the students have been handed over to Yudan. When I need to practice my flute, I can practice it in your study." That’s it.”

"Asking Che Lin to move here will make it easier for her to go to school and practice piano, and her family won't have to worry about it."

After listening to Chen Xuan's words, Li An sighed softly in his heart. The other party had put what he said into his heart. He had this idea after talking to Xiaoche at that time, but he did not have the final say alone.

The key is Chen Xuan's attitude. There is nothing to say to Lao Che. As long as he is willing to extend his hand, Lao Che and his family will have no reason not to send the car over.

"Thank you." Li An felt at ease.

Chen Xuan: "What's there to thank you for?"

Li An: "When a couple lives together, two people have to make decisions together on this kind of thing."

Chen Xuan: "If you want to say that, it's true. If it were another child, I might not be able to accept it."

Li An: "Me too. If it were any other child, I wouldn't have such thoughts."

Chen Xuan: "Che Lin is a child who knows how to be grateful. What I say does not mean that I want to get anything in return from her in the future, nor do I pity this child for what he has gone through. I just simply think that this child is good and worthy."

Ang Lee: "I think so too."

Chen Xuan smiled: "I don't plan to train him as a successor."

Li An: "Hey, what kind of inheritance? Just teach her normally. She will keep practicing as long as she likes it. In the end, she will be able to do whatever she can. We shouldn't think so much about the child's own affairs."

Chen Xuan recalled that on the night of Che Lin's birthday, Li An sent a message asking her to take out the pile of piano textbooks from the white school bag. She knew that from that moment on, Li An had already figured out some issues.

"Actually, I really want Che Lin to come over."

Ang Lee: "Huh?"

Chen Xuan: "I feel relieved to have someone at home watching over you."

Li An pouted: "What are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person?"

Chen Xuanqie: "What are you feeling guilty about? I haven't even finished what I said. With Che Lin here, you can still cook and keep your life regular."

Li An: "You don't have to worry about that."

Chen Xuan: "How many times have you cooked in the past half month?"

Li An: "Have you been traveling back and forth recently? Besides, you are really too busy during this period."

Chen Xuan: "Yes, I will leave next month. The location of our house has not been chosen yet, and the book master's classes have not officially started yet. Soon the competition on Jiang Zhigang's side will begin to enter the preparatory stage. At the end of the year, the competition on Rongai's side will begin. You have to prepare for the concert, and you didn’t refuse Song Kang’s concert.”

"Li An, you have to promise me to take good care of your body, otherwise how can I leave with peace of mind."

Li An nodded: "You too, go to bed early tonight, and tomorrow we will go to the teacher's house to sit down. If you didn't go on Teacher's Day, my wife is still thinking about you."

Chen Xuan: "Yeah."

Just like that, life in late September began.

Compared with early September, Ang Lee's work in late September did not go smoothly, or in other words, the parts he had high expectations for were not as satisfactory.

The scholar's recruitment gave him a head-on blow.

The entire team has made all preparations for this recruitment, and Liu Zhen has fully cooperated with Li An's team in this recruitment.

The enrollment activities lasted for three days, including three parent-teacher conferences, two performances, and an instrument demonstration.

As a result, except for the two piano literacy classes, the recruitment of every remaining major seriously failed to meet his expectations.

Not only that, but among the students Liu Daguang left behind, less than one-fifth chose to continue enrolling in classes.

In other words, his new recruits and the previous old students have just reached the standard for the start of the class.

Faced with the unexpected results, Li An could only shout "Okay" and cheer everyone up. At least every subject has been opened, but in fact he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Fewer students meant less people buying musical instruments. He went through so much trouble, but in the end he only got three melons and two dates, which would make anyone feel depressed for a few days.

Fortunately, he also thought about it later. His goal in the first semester was not to make money, so there are advantages to having fewer people. It is a high-quality product, and he will turn around at the end of the year and let everyone see it. Look, it’s not like there will be no enrollment next year.

Of course, the entire recruitment process was not without some good things. The recruitment of both piano classes exceeded the target.

"Everyone has been working hard recently, so I would like to express my gratitude to you all."

At the dinner party at the end of the enrollment period, Li An served everyone with tea instead of wine.

After the first week of classes, Liu Zhen had a talk with Li An alone.

The first literacy class was an open class, and the school invited some parents to attend the class.

In the feedback from parents, parents put forward a lot of opinions regarding wind music literacy clubs. In summary, they mainly focus on two points. First, classroom discipline is not strict enough. Second, how about putting new students with no basic knowledge together with experienced old students? To teach.

Regarding these two issues, Ang Lee did not explain much.

The former is a common phenomenon, and it is not just their wind band club that has disciplinary problems.

He didn't want to repeat the speech he gave at the parent-teacher meeting. He knew that Liu Zhen's original intention of talking to him was not to give feedback on the parents' opinions collected.

Liu Zhen wanted to remind him that the course had officially begun.

"Teacher Li, many people are watching the Wind Band Club."

Li An understands what he is carrying. Of all the newly opened clubs this year, only their wind and band club did not participate in the bidding.

In view of the feedback from parents, Li An held another meeting with teachers over the weekend.

If you have any questions, let’s discuss them together. Maybe your classroom problems are also my classroom problems, and maybe your solutions will also be helpful to me.

Lesson plans are dead, but classrooms are living. Teachers should make timely adjustments based on the actual situation and local conditions.

Everyone brainstormed and based on the actual feedback from the first class, we had a focused discussion on how to better start subsequent courses after the National Day.

Generally speaking, the scholar's class has started smoothly, and the number of musical instruments sold has been determined. From now on, everyone will work together to explore and move forward.

However, there has been no progress in Li An's other business. He has not underestimated the difficulty of finding a house, and has already made up his mind to break through the iron shoes.

But the reality before him is that although the scope has been narrowed, the price of a good location is still outrageous, and it is still difficult to find a location with a suitable price around it.

Qin Yong helped contact two places that were ready for rent and transfer with certificates. He really liked one of them. The place is at the junction of Guangyuan and Shinan, which is a prosperous area in the old district of Rongcheng. Needless to say, the community is mature. The surrounding facilities are complete, covering a large area of ​​mid-to-high-end residential areas, with a total of seven primary and secondary schools and five schools in three streets.

During this period, Li Anlai came twice by himself, once with Chen Xuan, once with Lao Ji, and once with Wei Fangyuan, his wife and Jia Mingyu.

Everyone gave this place good reviews and shared their thoughts on the pros and cons.

Li An also thinks it's good. The facade is grand and the upper and lower floors are 220 square meters. Although the location is not the best on the street, it is enough for a school.

In fact, when Qin Yong told him about the rent here, he didn't think about renting here. The monthly rent was 33,000 yuan, and he knew how much he weighed.

But he still wanted to take a look, just as a reference. After seeing the results, I was completely smitten. This place is so good, and 33,000 yuan is really not expensive at all.

It feels like you came out of a developer's model room. You decide that this is it, and you grit your teeth and say this is it.

But Li An remained calm. After listening to many opinions, he finally decided to listen to Lao Ji's opinions and give up.

If the rent here was 25,000 yuan, he might even consider it.

"Brother, if you ask me to say this, it's not good at all."

"Brother Tao said."

"Just a little bit, too far from Meizhuang Scholar."

"Maybe I will buy a house near here in the future."

"That's not what I meant. There are now a total of forty-five piano students in our two piano classes. You saw it on the day of the parent-teacher conference. Many parents signed up for piano for their children because of you."

"Don't forget that Shuren is a private company. Do you know where these children live?"

"I actually asked a few, they are all near Meizhuang. Brother, don't be dissatisfied. I still know some things better than you. There are many rich people living here, but if the rich people here want to give Children who want to benefit themselves will definitely not be sent to scholars. People in our old city actually don’t recognize scholars. We recognize Foreign Languages ​​and Nishikawa more. Of course, this is not absolute, but most of the families who send their children to scholars do. No one lives together."

"That's good. Come on, drink this cup and leave."

"Hey, I just said it casually. Just take it as a reference, brother. Just do it."

Haitao's analysis was correct, and this was also the conclusion reached by Ang Li after discussing with Lao Ji.

Because the first batch of potential students in Piano Classroom No. 4 are in Shuren’s two piano literacy classes.

Similarly, Li An asked Liang Yudan and the others to randomly recruit students from the class, so does he also have to recruit some students for himself?

As long as the scholar is in his hands, the entire scholar group is a potential student group for his No. 4 piano classroom.

Therefore, the location of Sigang must be close to the book writer, at least not far away.

Then the problem came back again, the site selection scope was narrowed, but the fundamental problem was still not solved.

The location is good but the facilities within reach are not ideal.

For two days, Li An thought that he might as well get a smaller one at the entrance of the community and drive it first.

But when he thought that students would not be able to get a seat if they had just a little more weekends, he could only sigh softly, good things take time, and take your time to find them.

It's almost October. Zheng Haitao knows that he is here on October 1, and is worried that he will be upset. Today, he invites him to have a meal and take a look around the school.

After the meal, the two of them walked towards the back door of Rongyuan under the neon lights. There were fresh and natural new faces coming and going, and their big white legs were dangling, which made people dizzy.

"The quality of this junior class is really high."

"You can be considered an older senior brother. You are a bit promising, but you are always staring at children."

"Brother, you can't grow old when you're old. I'm following your example."

"Go away, don't miss Mengqiu anymore."

"Hey, people have to look forward. The good things are all in front. Brother Da Tao is right."

"Then let's talk about it. Now that we've talked about it, what's going on with Zhang Miao?"

"Friend, friend."

"Okay, I think that girl is pretty good. She is the most responsible among you. Get to know her slowly and don't affect your work."

"Uh-huh."

As they talked, the two entered the back door. Li An kept saying that he would come and see Ji Yang when school officially started, but he was so busy that he never came.

I don't know if this girl will be at school tonight due to the holiday soon. Li An was thinking about it when the two of them had already reached the door of the studio.

There are weekend concerts every Friday in the studio, and program posters will be posted at the door in advance.

Ang Lee looked at the poster for a moment, with a playful smile on his face when he heard "Teacher!" coming from afar.

The two of them looked at each other and saw classmate Xiao Ji, who was wearing a black dress and was running towards the entrance of the studio with her skirt in hand, followed by several little girls behind her.

"Teacher, why are you here!?" Since the last Teacher's Day, Xiao Ji has never seen the teacher again. He only occasionally goes home and hears from his father that the teacher is very busy recently.

Zheng Haitao: "Junior sister is particularly beautiful today."

Xiao Ji: "Hey, thank you, Brother Tao."

Li Anle: "We came here specifically to watch your performance."

Xiao Ji had a suspicious smile on his face, "You must believe me."

Hahaha--

Then Xiao Ji introduced her three roommates to Li An and Haitao. The three little girls didn't dare to look at Li An. Is this the legendary master Li An!

So handsome!

"Hello, senior brother."

Li An also responded to the three little girls with a friendly smile, "Hello."

He turned to look at Xiao Ji again, "You didn't even tell us if you wanted to perform."

Xiao Ji wanted to say, "You and Sister Chen have been too busy recently. Sister Chen is about to take that, that language test."

Ang Lee: "TEF."

Xiao Ji: "That's right, and this isn't a big show. I just signed up to go on stage to practice my courage and gain stage experience."

Li An nodded: "Let's go, it starts in half an hour, go in and talk."

With that said, a group of people entered the studio and met Zhang Yunshu and several juniors and juniors from the orchestra department talking there.

When Zhang Yunshu saw Li An, he immediately put down what he was doing and came up to greet Li An, "Brother An, long time no see."

Li An: "Long time no see. You also participated in the children's play."

Zhang Yunshu smiled helplessly: "I arranged the show, but now the teacher has left all this work to me."

Li An smiled and said, "Teacher Yuan is quite lazy," and said that he was going to introduce Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji already knew who the other person was, and smiled sweetly, "Hello, Sister Yunshu."

Zhang Yunshu said hurriedly: "Hello, hello."

Seeing this, Li An introduced Zhang Yunshu, "Ji Yang, this year's freshman in the piano department, if there is any quintet in the future, or if you need a piano partner, you can find her and help me practice more with her."

Zhang Yunshu: "Don't worry, Brother An."

Li An: "Thank you."

Zhang Yunshu: "Brother An, you're welcome."

After the two of them went back and forth, everyone present envied Ji Yang.

And Li An's idea is very simple. Since Xiao Ji wants to find more stages to practice, then he will give Xiao Ji more opportunities.

He does not avoid relatives when promoting talents, he believes in Xiao Ji.
-

After the concert, Li An and Xiao Ji met on November 1 to go to his home for class. They said goodbye to Haitao at the school gate and took a taxi to Lao Che's restaurant.

There are still two days of the National Day Golden Week, and going to Laocha tonight will be the last thing he does in September.
