Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 782 41. Mature men and mature women
Li An's expression changed instantly, and finally all his emotions turned into a gentle sigh.

Everything he didn't understand about this family was understood at this moment.

He vaguely recalled something Xiaohu's grandma said last year. He couldn't remember the original words clearly. The general idea was that Xu Li was busy with work and Wang Xiaohu basically only followed the old couple.

At that time, he was indeed surprised for a moment, where was Xiaohu's father, but he didn't think much about it. He just assumed that when Xiaohu's grandma said that Xu Li was busy at work, it meant that both the husband and wife were busy.

"Feel sorry."

Li An had no intention of touching a woman's sad past, but he could feel something from Xu Li's calm tone. Xu Li can still remember that moment clearly.

And the faded silver dolphin hanging in the other guy's car.

"It's actually me who should be sorry," Xu Li said, "Xiaohu has caused you too much trouble."

Li An knew what the other party meant by trouble at the moment, but he didn't want Xu Li to bear this kind of burden. Besides, he had always been willing to do so. Even if there was no such thing as the bookman, he would still help Wang Xiaohu. Direct the way to go.

In his words, he had some special feelings for Wang Xiaohu, the first student he came here to have.

"You also helped me find a book writer and set up this stall for me. To be honest, I thought about some issues too simply before. I really couldn't do it without you."

Xu Li: "I don't deny this. Part of it is because you take good care of Xiaohu."

Ang Lee: "Fair enough."

Xu Li: "But I know that even if there is no Shuren, you will continue to help Xiaohu."

Li An: "It can be considered that Xiaohu and I are destined. I have always liked this kid. Maybe it would have been the same if it had been any one of Marco, Liu Fengrui and Xiaobei. After all, they were my first students. It will be emotionally closer from the heart.”

Xu Li: "Thank you."

moment.

"Why did you leave Xiaohu alone in Chengdu for so long?"

After a brief silence, "Sorry."

It was too late for Li An to take back the question. He was not the party involved and did not understand the situation. He had no right to question Xu Li. But the moment Xu Li said thank you, he felt a violent emotion in his heart.

Xu Li shook her head, her speechless look made people feel uncomfortable.

Li An withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance.

"That afternoon he told me, Sister Xu, did you know that he had a classmate in elementary school named Qiao Zhizhi, the one who danced in the June 1st performance, and was also in the choir."

"I have an impression." Xu Li recalled, "A very tall girl with a ponytail."

Then Li An told Xu Li all the conversations he had with Wang Xiaohu that afternoon.

Xu Li's first reaction after hearing this was to say thank you. Li An used his own way to do what she should have done for her, and handled it so that she was speechless.

If it were her, she wouldn't be a better guide than Ang Lee.

But thank you, she had repeated it too many times in a while, and she was also thinking about why Wang Xiaohu didn't ask her.

The thing is just like this. In the eyes of adults, it is just a normal experience of several adolescent children. Li An relayed the matter to Xu Li, and Xu Li just knew about it.

As if he could read Xu Li's thoughts, Li An said with relief: "It's because of the boy. If it were a girl, I think he would take the initiative to say something to you."

"Maybe," Xu Li knew that this had nothing to do with boys and girls. Children are the smartest, and he would be more willing to get close to whoever treats him well and pays more to him.

She also blames herself. In the more than a year since she came back, sometimes she even allowed Wang Xiaohu to take the initiative to get close to Li An.

She did so because of her helplessness, because Wang Xiaohu often didn't listen to her at all, and she had been missing Wang Xiaohu for a long time, which made her unable to use strong measures to educate Wang Xiaohu like other mothers.

But Li An can make Wang Xiaohu obedient with one look.

Wang Xiaohu liked Li An and was willing to listen to Li An's words. Moreover, Xu Li admired Li An's words, deeds and conduct, so she felt free to let Wang Xiaohu "haunt" Li An.

There is still her selfishness hidden here.

In these years, Wang Xiaohu has been extremely lacking in care from adult men. She hopes that Wang Xiaohu can get some of this kind of care from Li An.

But the consequence of this is that although Wang Xiaohu is much more sensible under Li An's guidance, he has more secrets about her.

If Li An were her family, this problem wouldn't be a big problem, and she would just continue to play her current logistics role.

And Li An is just a teacher of Wang Xiaohu, with his own career and life.

She confessed this to Li An today. To be honest, she was sure how Li An would feel after learning about it. Although Li An had just emphasized the issue of her helping to contact the book writer, in the end she was still using Li An first.

But even if she doesn't say this today, she still has to make this clear to Li An before talking about the appearance issue tomorrow.

Regarding tomorrow, she had a business attitude of clearly marking the price. You help me educate and guide the children, and I will help you promote your career.

But now she hesitated again, because of Li An's question that penetrated her heart just now: Why did Xiaohu leave Xiaohu alone in Chengdu for so long?
Li An's questioning made her realize that the other party's attitude towards Wang Xiaohu's growth was more genuine than she thought.

She thought maybe this was why Wang Xiaohu was so attached to Li An.

Children's perceptions are sometimes more acute than those of adults.

Regarding tomorrow, Xu Li felt that she should think more carefully.

"Sister Xu, we've talked about it for so long. After so many years, you haven't thought about it anymore."

After her meditation was interrupted, Xu Li turned around. Many people around her had asked her similar questions over the years, and she usually laughed them off.

People who know will naturally not ask her this question, and people who don't know will never say much.

Li An was naturally a person who didn't know, but she felt that she had no reason to hide anything from Li An anymore.

"I met a few of them, and got along with some of them, but in the end they were not suitable."

Not willing to make do? When Li An heard this, the first thought popped into his mind, you are in this situation, don't think about yourself, but also think about your children.

In just the next second, he eliminated this thought.

He could think of all the questions he could think of as soon as he slapped his forehead. How could Xu Li not think about them all?

Everyone has said that it didn’t quite fit in the end. There must be various difficulties here, or maybe it’s because Xiaohu is stuck and can’t get over it?
But then I thought again, even if Xiaohu passed this test, it would not be easy to find a suitable person to reorganize the family based on Xu Li's conditions.

Xu Li would probably look down on those whose conditions were not up to standard in all aspects, but if those conditions were up to standard in all aspects, there would probably be no shortage of women around her.

No matter how well-maintained Xu Li is, she is still young and has a son who is in junior high school.

Maybe it was because Xu Li hadn't met her yet. He wished in his heart that Xu Li would one day meet a suitable partner who could spend the rest of his life.

From a certain perspective, Xu Li can be regarded as a miserable woman.

A woman who was in the best years of her life remained a widow for seven years.

Who knows the taste?

"Sister Xu, why don't we recruit a teaching assistant? You can't handle the matter by yourself by replying to the parents."

Without asking any more questions, Li An jumped to the subject of the October Book Man's lesson plan.

Speaking of this issue, Xu Li did consider it, but after tonight, she temporarily gave up the idea: "I'll explore it for another month."

He said and smiled, "There are still three months of internship period."

Ang Lee: "I don't mean anything else. It's just too troublesome."

Xu Li: "Parent protection is the core. Let me follow you for a while. If it doesn't work anymore, you can replace me."

Ang Lee: "You're just swearing, aren't you?"

The parent groups that need to be maintained in October are naturally the two piano literacy classes, which are directly related to the first round of off-campus enrollment in Piano Classroom No. 4.

In the next half hour, Li An shared his experience with Xu Liyi.

Xu Li was still the same. When Li An started speaking, she took out her mobile phone to record.

Until Xu Li's cell phone rang.

He hung up the phone casually, and seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, the two of them walked back the way they came from while talking. At the north gate of Jinmao Mansion, Xu Li arrived home, "What time is convenient tomorrow?"

"I can do it," Li An said, thinking that he didn't have to look at the landlord's time.

Xu Li: "I'll pick you up at 10:30 in the morning."

Li An: "Okay, see you tomorrow, Sister Xu."

Xu Li: "Yeah."

Li An just turned around and took two steps, then suddenly turned around and called Xu Li: "Sister Xu."

Xu Li also stopped and turned around, "Is there anything else?"

Li An: "Don't betray me about Qiao Zhizhi's secrets."

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved, "Thanks, see you tomorrow."

After looking at Xu Li's back for a while, Li An felt that there was only so much he could do.

He knew what Xu Li was thinking just now.

But he and Wang Xiaohu are him and Wang Xiaohu, and Xu Li is Xu Li. On the issue of letting himself get along with Wang Xiaohu, he can understand Xu Li.

This is the situation of an orphan and a widowed mother. If he were Xu Li, he would probably choose the same way as Xu Li.

Maybe it was a matter of male and female perspectives, or personality differences. In short, he felt that being widowed was not an ulterior secret.

Hey.

This little guy Wang Xiaohu.

Now looking back at what Wang Xiaohuzhi had done before, Li An only felt that this child was already a very sensible child.

Ang Lee really has no idea what it's like to live without a father since childhood.

But just thinking about it briefly, Li An felt that there are hundreds of situations in the world, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Compared to Xiaoche, Li An felt that Wang Xiaohu was much more pitiful.

At least Xiaoche now has Sang Ping, where is Wang Xiaohu?

Passing by Shitaizi where Wang Xiaohu was chatting that afternoon, Li An's ears seemed to hear Wang Xiaohu's words before leaving under the sunset - the teacher also wants to eat delicious food in the evening!
little things.

Smiling on the spot, Li An accelerated his pace home.

"I am back."

Car, who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, heard the door knock and ran out, holding a toothbrush in his hand and foaming at the mouth.

"Wash up first."

The car thumped back to the bathroom.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, Li An asked Xiaoche about her piano practice tonight. Xiaoche said that she would get a feel for it by practicing Beethoven's sonatas tonight.

"It's too late." Xiao Che couldn't explain clearly, and Li An couldn't let Xiao Che play to him again, "Let's play tomorrow or tomorrow night. I'll listen to you play tomorrow night."

Xiaoche nodded obediently: "Teacher, shall I go to bed then?"

Li An: "Wait, I have something to do tomorrow morning, and I may not be back at noon. If I don't come back, you can eat by yourself at noon. After eating, practice Hanong and then sleep for a while. Also, be sure to pay attention to safety when riding an electric bicycle. Take the key. good."

"Well! Good night, teacher."

"Good night."
-
Before going to bed at night, Li An and Chen Xuan watched the video.

Chen Xuan seemed to show a little bit of emotion after learning about Xu Li's situation.

How to put it, Li An could understand that unlike the situation they had analyzed before, Xu Li was widowed, not divorced.

There are a lot of disputes in front of the widow, and Wang Xiaohu likes to cling to him so much. Now he is cooperating with Xu Li to run the book store. Their relationship last month was relatively closer than before. It just so happened that Chen Xuan spent most of the last month in Yanjing.

It's human nature. As Chen Xuan, it's understandable to have some little thoughts that have no boundaries.

So Li An chose to tell Chen Xuan about it tonight, "It was a coincidence. We bumped into each other tonight while walking around."

On the other side of the video, Chen Xuan smiled: "You just said that."

Li An laughed, then turned over and changed into a comfortable position, making a serious expression on the phone: "Then I have to emphasize again, you said that I have been with a widow every day this month, if I were you, I don’t care who the other party is, I’m definitely not happy.”

Chen Xuan frowned: "What a widow, that sounds awful."

Li An: "Then what did you say it was?"

Chen Xuan did not answer: "Hey, it's really not easy for Sister Xu."

Li An: "Everyone has his own destiny, and no one can do anything about this kind of thing."

Chen Xuan: "Why don't you have any sympathy?"

Li An: "How can I sympathize with her? She knew her situation, and sometimes she would just dump Wang Xiaohu on me. I found out today and I didn't say anything. Although she helped us with the bookman's matter, but if Without Wang Xiaohu, would she be able to extend this hand?"

Chen Xuan: "Keep your voice down, Che Lin."

"Don't talk yet." As he spoke, Li An leaned closer to the screen and lowered his volume.

"I didn't know about her situation before. I knew that I would definitely keep a distance from Wang Xiaohu. Even without you, I have to think about myself. I am a good young man, right? Not to mention you."

On the screen, Chen Xuan curled her lips, and her angry eyes were filled with a smile: "Hurry up and hang a beard, it's disgusting."

Li An said coquettishly: "I'll shave it tomorrow, I'm too lazy to move."

Chen Xuan: "Then go to sleep. You have something to do tomorrow morning."

Li An: "It makes me not want to go tomorrow, so I might as well not go and just rent that art class. You've seen the location and the price can be negotiated."

Chen Xuan: "I've passed Teacher Ang Li, and I'm almost there. Do you understand the principle that going too far is not enough?"

Ang Lee: "Isn't this a criminal record? It makes people feel uneasy."

Chen Xuan: "Humph, you have to maintain this kind of ideological awareness at all times. I approve it from Sister Xu."

Ang Lee: "The pattern has to be that of Mr. Xiaomi."

Chen Xuan: "Go to bed quickly. I will actually be sleepy when you call me at night."

Li An: "I wish Mr. Chen a smooth success in getting B1 tomorrow."

Chen Xuan: "Bonne nuit!"

Li An: "No! It's girly! It's right this time."

Chen Xuan: "Forget it, I really can't teach it, just go to sleep."

Li An: "It's just French, right? You wait for Chen Xiaomi!"

The two people rushed to hang up the video, but Chen Xuan was slightly faster.

Xiaomi: I won, go to sleep!
Eighty thousand and one: Sleep, sleep, whoever looks at the phone again is the shit of eighty thousand

Putting down the phone, Li An let out a sigh of relief.

From Chen Xuan's perspective, Xu Li's issue should be regarded as a sensitive issue.

Now that the problem has been put out of the way, Chen Xuan's heart has been eased, and he feels at ease.

At least for a long time to come, the book writer cannot live without Xu Li.

Then there’s the house tomorrow.

Silent all night.
