One big and one small are practicing love

Liu Xiaochen hurried to the door of the study room, saw the door ajar, and heard sharp cries.

I knocked on the door twice, not sure if I heard a response, so I opened the door and went in anxiously.

As soon as they entered, they saw Zuo Xu sitting in front of the piano, with his hands behind his back, looking up and crying.

Zuo Kunmin held a ruler in his hand and sat next to Zuo Xu. He looked at him with burning eyes and said coldly: "It's useless for you to cry. If you make another mistake, I will beat you."

Seeing this, Liu Xiaochen was shocked. Will he beat the child? Thinking about it, he walked timidly to Zuo Xu.

Zuo Xu immediately stood up, hid behind Liu Xiaochen, and cried, "Little sister, protect me."

At this time, Zuo Kunmin's phone vibrated. He glanced at the caller ID on his phone and saw that it was Li Zhiming, knowing that it was an important call. Looking at Zuo Xu, whose face was full of tears, he said sternly: "Practice well, I'll come over and check on you later." With that, Zuo Kunmin turned around and left the study.

After going out, he came to his study and said, "How is it? Zhiming."

"I just finished dinner with the business manager of M Group. The exact news is that Mr. Qin has signed a contract with our competitor this afternoon."

"reason?"

"Manager Yu told me that she learned from General Secretary Qin that she seemed dissatisfied with your behavior this morning. Such a big business suddenly left because your daughter was sick, saying that you..."

"Say it straight."

"You are a grown man, how can you be a mother-in-law?"

"Like him, he doesn't care about his wife and children, but keeps a bunch of mistresses outside. It's okay for such a person to be uncooperative." Zuo Kunmin said in a high-pitched voice.

"Kunmin, you have been in the mall for so many years, and you still don't know that there are many people like him. You don't have to be angry with such people." Li Zhiming said, sighing: "Oh! It's a pity that it was wasted. So much energy has been invested in half a year.”

"It's okay, don't waste it." Zuo Kunmin said, "I saw a new project this afternoon, which is similar to Mr. Qin's. I prepared a lot of information for him and modified some data so that it can be used for this new project. "

"What project? Who are you working with?"

Zuo Kunmin flipped through the thick printed pages and said, "I haven't finished reading the information yet. I'll tell you when I go to the company tomorrow."

"Okay! Then I'll hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Zuo Kunmin looked at the time and sighed.

The efficiency of working at home is really low. I originally wanted to read two project books in the afternoon, but now I haven’t read any of them.

At this time, when I heard the stumbling sound of the piano, I really didn't want to worry about such a tedious matter as my child practicing the piano. Let’s read the planning document for a while first, and then check Zuo Xutanqin.

Sometimes I read the planning book intently, and sometimes I listen to the music of the piano.

Gradually, the sound of the piano becomes more and more certain, and the rhythm becomes steady and fast. Zuo Kunmin was surprised how much progress he had made in this etude in such a short period of time. Close the planning book, get up and go to the children's study room.

After entering, he saw Zuo Xu playing the piano with concentration and following the metronome. Even when Zuo Kunmin came in, he did not stop and continued to play the piano steadily according to the metronome. Liu Xiaochen sat next to him and looked at Zuo Xu with a smile.

Zuo Xu didn't stop until he finished playing the etude. He looked at Liu Xiaochen proudly and asked: "Little sister, am I great!"

"Great!" Liu Xiaochen said with a sincere smile.

Zuo Kunmin said to Zuo Xu: "Okay, no need to practice piano tonight. Just do your math homework. I say it again, you are not allowed to draw those flowers, plants, cats and dogs behind the calculation questions."

After talking to Zuo Xu, he said to Liu Xiaochen: "Xiaoxiao, come out with me. I have something to tell you."

After scrambling against time, preparing seriously, and working hard, in the end, I was completely rejected because of a trivial matter that had nothing to do with work. In business matters, there is too much uncertainty.

But if the children can't eat well, they get sick, and if they can't do their homework well, they get calls from their teachers every day. These matters must be resolved, otherwise Zuo Kunmin will not be able to concentrate on his work.

After the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, Zuo Kunmin said bluntly: "Xiaoxiao, can you play the piano?"

"No." Liu Xiaochen shook his head anxiously and said, "When we were young, Teacher Wang gave us music lessons. I can barely recognize the staff and remember some basic rhythms."

"I have hired a piano tutor, and Xiaoxu has never made such obvious progress as he did tonight, and he seems very happy."

Liu Xiaochen thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, companionship is a real and worthwhile power. Teacher Wang once accompanied me very patiently and gently."

Zuo Kunmin took a deep breath, his stern eyes suddenly showed a hint of tenderness, and said, "Tell me about Xiaoxia."

Liu Xiaochen raised his head, turned his eyes as if reminiscing, and said slowly: "I used to have poor English scores. I couldn't understand listening, remember words, and understand grammar. I felt that I would never learn English."

"I remember that your English scores were very good, with perfect scores many times."

"Before I met Teacher Wang, I rarely passed English. It was Teacher Wang..." After Liu Xiaochen said this, his eyes became wet, he stopped talking and took a deep breath.

Zuo Kunmin didn't urge or answer, he just sat quietly and waited.

After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Xiaochen spoke again.

"Teacher Wang would sit next to me every night and study with me. I have poor hearing, so Teacher Wang would take me to listen to it hundreds of times. At that time, tape recorders and tapes were used. Every time a sentence was played, Teacher Wang would press the pause button. , asked me if I understood it? I said no, so Teacher Wang would rewind it and let me listen again. He often rewinded more or less, and it took many operations to rewind to the sentence I wanted to listen to. "

Having said that, Aunt Zhang brought two cups of coffee, handed them to Zuo Kunmin and Liu Xiaochen respectively, and said, "Mr. Zuo, the kitchen has been tidied up. Yanyan went upstairs to sleep."

Zuo Kunmin took the coffee and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang, please go home after get off work."

After Aunt Zhang left, Zuo Kunmin held the coffee and said, "Xiaoxiao, keep talking."

Liu Xiaochen put his hand on the warm wall of the cup and continued: "I always heard and said the wrong thing. The number of times became irritable and frustrated. But Teacher Wang never got angry, he just encouraged me and calmed my emotions. Please listen patiently with me over and over again. It wasn't until I really understood and said it correctly that she changed the next sentence." As she spoke, Liu Xiaochen's eyes were filled with tears.

"Yes." Zuo Kunmin nodded and murmured: "Xiaoxia has such a character."

“Two or three words that I didn’t understand, a piece of grammar that I didn’t understand, seemed like minor difficulties. To me at that time, without Teacher Wang’s patient companionship and correct and balanced guidance, they were insurmountable obstacles. "

After listening, Zuo Kunmin held up his cup and drank coffee slowly without saying a word. Liu Xiaochen stopped talking and took a sip of bitter coffee.

"Xiaoxia has also been with me like this." In the silence, Zuo Kunmin suddenly said, his tone revealing sadness.

Liu Xiaochen sat quietly, holding coffee in hand and saying nothing.

"In the third year of our business, the company has just stabilized and accumulated some funds. I want to build a tourist hotel in the barren mountains. This kind of project involves large investments and high risks. I have no experience and insufficient funds. Everyone is against me. Only Xiaoxia firmly supports me, believes in me, and does it with me."

At this point, there was a sudden creak of the door. It was Zuo Xu who came out with an exercise book and said, "Dad, I've finished my math homework."

Zuo Kunmin took it and took a quick look. Finally, numbers were written behind the calculation questions. After looking at three or five more questions, he found that the answers were correct. He said: "Go upstairs to your room and do your homework for other subjects. If you feel sleepy, go to bed by yourself."

Zuo Xu and Liu Xiaochen looked at each other and smiled, dragging Liu Xiaochen to the study to help him pack his schoolbag. With Zuo Kunmin's permission, they went to the study together.

Zuo Kunmin kept drinking coffee dully, as if drinking alcohol, sip after sip. After Zuo Xu jumped upstairs, he returned to his room. Zuo Kunmin spoke again.

"I expected that there would be many difficulties, but in the actual construction, I encountered more difficulties than I thought, and it was even more difficult." As he spoke, Zuo Kunmin sighed heavily and said, "From the beginning of the exploration Xiaoxia has always been with me from topography, design and planning, to later construction. We have been close to death many times, including landslides, mudslides, and wild wolves. There was a heavy rain, and Xiaoxia fell into the cliff to save the machine and almost died. Save After I fell in love with her, I didn’t want her to take risks with me anymore, but she refused and the injury happened again before it healed.”

"I saw a large scar on Teacher Wang's lower back. Teacher Wang said it was accidentally rubbed at work. Was it from that time?"

"Yes!" Zuo Kunmin nodded and said: "She fell down with the machine and was deeply scratched by the sharp object. She had stitches and surgery, and her leg was also fractured. It has been more than two months and she still can't walk smoothly because she knew The whole project collapsed due to heavy rain. She was afraid that I couldn't bear it, so she went up the mountain to comfort me. More than a year of hard work was in vain because of the heavy rain. Investors withdrew their capital, the capital chain was broken, workers went on strike, and machines were stolen. I really wanted to give up at that time... "As he spoke, Zuo Kunmin's voice choked up and he stopped.

Seeing Zuo Kunmin so emotional for the first time, Liu Xiaochen wanted to cry, so he lowered his head and took two sips of bitter coffee to divert his attention.

"Later, Xiaoxia mortgaged the assets left to her by her parents, borrowed loan sharks, and bought the cheapest second-hand machines. She thought of various ways to face, bear, and solve the problem with me. Without Xiaoxia, my career would not be where it is today. This step." As he spoke, Zuo Kunmin's eyes were moist, he stood up and said, "I'll get you a cup of coffee."
