Bai Zhi was silent for a while, then returned to the room and sat in a chair in a daze.
She suddenly remembered something that happened when she was a child.
At that time, Lu Xixin had just arrived at the Gu family.
She wanted to learn the violin, so her grandfather sent her to learn the violin. Bai Zhi looked hot and asked to learn the violin too.
The two of them learned violin together from the teacher, but Lu Xixin was always the only one who was praised.
Bai Zhi thought at that time that it was because Lu Xixin had a foundation and had studied before that she was better than herself.
Therefore, she worked extra hard and practiced violin twice, three, or even four times as long as Lu Xixin every day.
At that time, she was still very optimistic and felt that if she worked hard, she would be able to surpass Lu Xixin.
But reality slapped her hard in the face.
When the teacher only had two students, Bai Zhi faced only Lu Xixin. She felt that she would soon surpass Lu Xixin.
However, when they went to participate in the competition, Bai Zhi realized how huge the gap was.
Lu Xixin is like the most dazzling pearl, blooming with dazzling light.
In every competition, she won first place, far ahead of second place, and received praise and praise from all the judges and teachers.
But Bai Zhi couldn't even get third place.
Bai Zhi always thought that she would soon surpass Lu Xixin, but after participating in more competitions and more people participating in the competition, she realized that there was a distant galaxy between her and Lu Xixin.
She must first surpass the third place, then surpass the second place, and surpass countless people in front of her before she can be qualified to compete with Lu Xixin.
Bai Zhi worked harder and practiced violin ten times as long as Lu Xixin. She didn't even sleep. She stayed awake.
After hard work, she finally surpassed the third place and ranked second behind Lu Xixin.
But at the same time, it stopped there.
She will never be as good as Lu Xixin.
During this period, Bai Zhi was in despair. She felt powerless. Why would there be a genius in this world? It was like a big mountain standing in front of her and she could never climb over it.
This feeling was so terrible that Bai Zhi had nightmares day and night.
She wanted Lu Xixin to feel this feeling, to feel the madness and despair she once felt.
Therefore, Bai Zhi arranged an outstanding sister for Lu Xixin, Lu Jiayi.
She is beautiful, smart, and good at studies. She studied at Teito University, plays the violin well, and can also draw.
As for Lu Xixin, she just graduated from junior high school. Although she likes the violin, she is not as talented as her sister, nor is she as good at painting. She is stupid in everything she does and is not as good as her sister in anything.
She wanted to see what Lu Xixin would do in the face of all this?
——
At the Lu family dinner table.
Everyone is here, even the brothers and sisters-in-law from the town are back, just to welcome the little sister Lu Jiayi.
Everyone is praising Lu Jiayi and ignoring Lu Xixin.
Her mother, Yao Dahong, even said jokingly: "Back then, the two sisters went to the town to learn the violin together from the teacher. Jiayi played it very well, but when we came to Xinxin, it was like sawing wood. It was so funny to me."
"
Dad Lu You nodded: "Xin Xin is stupid and has no talent. Of course she can't compare to Jiayi."
Brother Lu Guoqiang echoed: "That's right, Xin Xin and Jiayi are like two completely opposite people. Jiayi can learn everything from reading, playing the violin, and painting quickly, while Xin Xin can't even read, let alone play the violin."
Understand, if you can’t even pass the high school entrance examination, it’s like a world in a world.”
While listening to her family's conversation, Lu Xixin ate her favorite spicy chicken and smiled innocently, with no expression of disappointment or jealousy on her face.
In the next few days, no matter how much her family belittled Lu Xixin, saying that she was not as good as her sister.
She always smiles innocently, without any angry expression on her face. She just works hard and diligently. Sometimes she spends her free time studying how to make delicious food. She stays in the kitchen all day long, looking very disgraced.
Bai Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her to the room.
He asked in disbelief: "What are you doing? Aren't you angry?"
Lu Xixin also held a small bun in her hand. She had just made it. It was small and very beautiful.
Hearing Bai Zhi's question, Lu Xixin was very puzzled and her eyes widened: "Why are you angry?"
Bai Zhi stamped her feet angrily: "They talk about you, belittling you all day long, saying you are not as good as my sister, saying you are stupid."
Lu Xixin blinked her eyes, her eyes clear and bright: "Sister Bai Zhi, sit down."
He carefully placed the buns in his hands on the table, then pulled Bai Zhi to sit on the kang, and said in a serious tone: "How can I stop others from talking when their mouths grow on them?"
Speaking of this, she bent her eyes, and her whole person became brighter.
Even though he was wearing coarse cloth and his face was dirty and dusty, he was still as dazzling as the bright sun.
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously took two steps back.
Then Lu Xixin's Qingyue voice came to her ears: "The only thing I can control is my own emotions."
Speaking of this, she curved her lips and smiled, revealing a row of beautiful teeth.
"They say it's theirs, as long as I don't care."
Bai Zhi shook her head and couldn't understand: "Why don't you go to school, learn violin, or learn painting? You have to prove to them that you are not stupid!"
Lu Xixin put the buns in the palm of her hand and raised her hand to show Bai Zhi: "My buns are better-looking than theirs. I want to make the most delicious buns in the world."
"What's delicious?" Bai Zhi angrily knocked the buns out of her hand and said angrily: "Bao buns, buns, you know buns, you have steamed dozens of pots of buns, haven't you steamed enough yet? Lu Jiayi is a college student.
If you can play the violin and draw, but you can only steam buns, who will think highly of you!"
Lu Xixin knelt down, picked up the buns from the ground, blew them clean carefully, and then raised her eyes to look at Bai Zhi.
Her eyes were calm and unwavering: "Sister Bai Zhi, what's wrong with the steamed buns? I don't think it's mean. Doing one thing to the extreme cannot be looked down upon by anyone. Why do I have to play the violin, why do I have to paint? This is
What sister Jiayi likes is what she is good at, not me!
Why should I be like her? I like making steamed buns, and I just want to make steamed buns. The mouth is on other people, and anyone can say what they want, and others will look down upon them. I don’t care at all, I just want to do what I want.
thing.
My heart is as firm as a rock and a mountain. It will not waver at any time. I don’t take any gossip at all.”
After saying that, he opened the door and left.
I washed my hands and continued making buns.
Bai Zhi was left sitting alone on the kang, looking dazed.
Lu Xixin's eloquent words kept echoing in my ears: "My heart is as firm as a rock and a mountain, and it will never waver at any time."
Listening, listening, Bai Zhi could not help but tremble all over.
