Chapter 362 63. Xu Li’s Troubles

"What are you doing kneeling down? Stand up."

Li An walked over in two steps and saw clearly that the other party was struggling to touch the bottom of the piano.

He turned his head and asked curiously, "What fell in?"

"Nothing, teacher, right away," Wang Xiaohu responded with a breathless groan, and suddenly his upper body pressed to the ground, his arms rushed forward, and then he took out a pencil from under the piano.

After standing up and wiping his forehead, Wang Xiaohu put the pencil back on the piano.

After understanding what was going on, Li An stepped forward and patted the dust on Wang Xiaohu's clothes, "How old are you? Can you use your brain before doing things? Can't you see the broom?

Shaking his head, Li An asked Wang Xiaohu to turn around.

Wang Xiaohu turned around and turned his back to Li An before breathing a sigh of relief.

A minute ago, Wang Xiaohu heard footsteps outside the door and hurriedly stuffed his new mobile phone music into the music bag. In his panic, he moved too much and knocked the pencil on the piano board to the ground, rolling it under the piano.

"I know that you are in a critical period recently. Pay more attention to your studies and rest. It is best to take some time to practice. But don't force it. You can make your own decisions according to the situation. There are only these two songs. We will not introduce new content during the competition.

Already."

As he spoke, Li An reached out and took off Wang Xiaohu's coat from the hanger, "Okay, get out of class is over. Your mother has gone to register for you. Are you waiting here?"

"It's okay, teacher. I'll wait outside. Goodbye, teacher."

Wang Xiaohu took the coat, picked up the music bag and left.

Li An was a little surprised by this. A few years ago, why did the other party stay here longer and wait for Xiaobei to leave? He thought that the child might be too tired recently.

I even talk less in class.

Seeing this, he stepped forward and touched Wang Xiaohu's head, "Come on, go to the door and wait for a while."

What he didn't know was that it wasn't that Wang Xiaohu didn't want to stay in the classroom for a while, but that Wang Xiaohu was worried about being found out.

Wang Xiaohu walked out of the classroom and met Xiaobei who was coming to class. When he greeted Xiaobei, he couldn't help but let out another breath.

"Goodbye Yu Xiaobei, goodbye auntie."

On the way home, Wang Xiaohu fell asleep in the passenger seat. Xu Li looked at the road ahead, holding the steering wheel and turning her head from time to time. She thought to herself that she had dozed off after the piano lesson, so she had no choice but to slow down the car.

Half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs at Wang Xiaohu's grandma's house, and then she woke Wang Xiaohu up.

Wang Xiaohu sat up in confusion and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"Have a good lunch."

Xu Li hesitated for a moment, "I'll pick you up in the afternoon to take you to the Science and Technology Museum."

When he heard that his mother was coming to pick him up in the afternoon, Wang Xiaohu felt a little unhappy, and suddenly he felt much more awake.

He muttered, "I won't go. You lied. You agreed that I would stay at grandma's house today and go to the Science and Technology Museum tomorrow."

Xu Li didn't expect her son to give such a reaction, and her eyes turned, "Teacher Li just told me that the competition will be in one month. I hope you can spend more time practicing the piano. We went to the Science and Technology Museum today.

, you can practice the piano tomorrow, I will take you back after your transfer in the afternoon, and I will pick you up after you have lunch at grandma's house tomorrow, okay?"

Hearing the words "Teacher Li", Wang Xiaohu couldn't resist for a while.

When he thought about being able to go out and play with his mother in the afternoon, he was actually quite happy, and his wrinkled little face couldn't help but relax.

"How about you also have lunch at grandma's house for lunch?"

"Mom has something to do at noon, can I take you to have steak tonight?"

"Don't you have work at night?"

"Mom won't be working tonight. Let's come out of the Science and Technology Museum, then go to the bookstore, buy the picture album you like, then go have steak, and then send you back after playing. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

moment.

"Mom, can I also go home tonight..."

This is the nature of a child's mind. The wind will come and the rain will go.

"Be obedient, my grandparents miss you so much."

"Oh well."

Xu Li got out of the car and helped her son tidy up his clothes. She knelt down and said, "Talk to your grandparents. Don't ask them for mobile phones to play with. Do you hear me?"

Wang Xiaohu suddenly became impatient again, "I know."

After a pause, he said, "Go and do your business." Then he turned around and walked towards the unit door.

His music bag was still hanging in his hand, swaying with his steps.

After watching her son walk into the unit door, Xu Li returned to the car, took out her phone and dialed a number.

It took a long time for the call to be connected, and then a deep male voice came, "Sorry, we were in a meeting just now. Did Xiaohu take piano lessons?"

Xu Li: "Sorry, I didn't know you were in a meeting. That's it. I thought about it and let's meet at noon."

After a while, she got a reply on the phone: "Okay, but it will have to be a little later. I won't be able to finish until half past twelve."

Xu Li understood that she was the one who suggested changing the time: "If it's inconvenient, I can do it tomorrow."

"Tomorrow -" the voice on the phone continued in a joking tone, as if he was trying to test something, "is that okay tomorrow night?"

After a while, seeing Xu Li making no sound, a hearty laugh came from the phone, "Just kidding, don't mind. I'll order someone to book the restaurant. Where are you now? I'll pick you up at noon."

Xu Li: "Thank you. I can drive myself. I'll make a new reservation at the restaurant. I'll send it to you later. I won't disturb you. See you at noon."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Li put down her phone and lay on the back of the chair before she felt a sense of support for a moment, and then a deep tiredness hit her heart.

It is a kind of tiredness that cannot be talked about to others. Everyone will understand it, but only those who have experienced it know what kind of breathlessness it feels like.

The silver dolphin chain hanging on the rearview mirror also stopped. It was the first birthday gift Xiaohu's father gave Xu Li that year.

From then on, she kept hanging it around her neck until the funeral of Xiaohu's father. She took it off after that day.

All the jewelry on her body, this little dolphin was hung on the car. She left Chengdu two years ago and took it away. When she came back last year, she hung it back on the car. It was like Xiaohu’s father was always by her side in another way.

Give her spiritual comfort when she is helpless.

But I don’t know since when, the little dolphin can no longer see its color.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Li sadly found that there was no peace, no waves in her heart, and she could no longer generate any emotions.

After crying for a while, she wiped her eyes and restarted the car.

Just like the first time we met for an appointment years ago, it was also at noon.

She is still grateful for her parents-in-law's silence in making another choice of hers

As an economically independent modern woman, she now has a career, savings, and three properties in Chengdu.

-

Three years ago, she chose to leave Chengdu temporarily, and her parents-in-law supported her with silence.

At that time, the pensions of both parents were enough to allow the mother and son to have enough food and clothing for a while.

But worry-free for a while, not for a lifetime.

For her son, she must shoulder all the responsibilities of supporting the family. In order to give Xiaohu a better life, she chose to transfer to Haishi three years ago.

Two years and four months passed by in a flash. She thought she had earned enough to raise her son little by little by herself. She thought her son would still be the same little boy when she came back.

But she was wrong. After witnessing what happened to her son, she also regretted it.

If she was given another chance, she would not choose to take even a step away from her son.

Especially this year, she has become increasingly aware of the changes in her son as he enters puberty.

Resistant, irritable, extremely emotionally unstable, unable to speak without raising his voice

Just when she was worried about this, the first ten minutes of a piano lesson gave her some hope.

A few years ago, she took her son to take piano lessons. The scene at the elevator door where Ang Lee harshly lectured her son scared her, but afterwards her son did change his habit of making loud noises.

This made her more aware that a father's role is needed in the child's subsequent education.

She has read many cases on the Internet about single widowed mothers remarrying with their children, some of which were happy, and some of which ended bleakly.

She also asked some friends around her and came up with various opinions.

Other people's experiences and suggestions are always their own. In the end, she decided to give it a try herself.

However, this matter was far more difficult and complicated than she imagined.

In the past two months, she has dated three men, in various situations

Most of them didn't give her a good feeling. Only the third university teacher gave her a good feeling.

He is a person of good character, behaves in a responsible manner, and is polite and courteous.

The other party is also widowed and has a thirteen-year-old daughter.
