At that time, Hua Ling took Xie Feng out to buy things. Xie Feng heard singing coming from the side of the road.
When Hua Ling let go of Xie Feng's hand, Xie Feng ran out through the opened sensor door.
"Don't run too far." Hua Ling shouted from behind him, and Xie Feng shouted: "I got it!"
Xie Feng followed the singing and saw a sister in her twenties. She was holding a guitar in her hand, making out the sound of plucked strings, and singing a cappella songs that Xie Feng had never heard.
Xie Feng saw a guitar in real life for the first time, and the girl's guitar sound and singing voice were both good. Xie Feng stood in front of her and listened for a long time.
After the song ended, the little sister looked at Xie Feng with a smile: "Little brother, is your song good?"
"That sounds good!" Xie Feng nodded vigorously.
Looking at the cute child in front of her, the little sister felt happy: "Then let me play another song for you? What kind of music does the little brother like to listen to?"
Xie Feng scratched his hair in embarrassment: "I don't know... can I just play whatever song my sister is good at?"
"Okay~"
The guitar sounded again, and a few passers-by stopped, but they all listened for tens of seconds and then left. The song finished again, and only two people were left standing in front of the young lady, listening to the song.
"It sounds good." Hua Ling's voice sounded from above Xie Feng's head. Xie Feng looked up at Hua Ling in surprise.
Xie Feng hugged Hua Ling's waist in surprise: "Dad, I also want to talk about guitar!"
Hua Ling took out the ten-dollar note from his pocket that he had just changed at the counter, put it in the guitar bag in front of the young lady, raised his hand and touched Xie Feng's head: "Then let's go to the musical instrument store later?"
"Okay!" Xie Feng jumped up happily.
The singing girl bowed and thanked Hua Ling for the money, and Hua Ling waved her hand: "You deserve this."
"Sir, I would like to ask a question." The young lady raised her eyes and looked at Hua Ling's cheek, but her gaze seemed to be a little higher.
Hua Ling nodded: "Ask."
"Is your hair color...dyed?"
Basically only young people get this kind of obvious abnormal color. Although Hua Ling doesn't look old, his child is so old.
"It's natural." Hua Ling briefly explained to her that the color of her hair was due to illness, but only her hair changed color, while the color of her eyebrows and other parts remained unchanged.
When Hua Ling took Xie Feng away, Xie Feng couldn't help but look back until she completely disappeared from his sight.
Xie Feng was taken into a musical instrument store and was shocked by the guitars that lined an entire wall in front of him. Hua Ling said hello to the store manager who was adjusting the instruments.
"Hey, what brought you here?"
The store manager, whose surname was Lu, had stayed in the village in the early years. Because he accidentally fell into a mud pit and was scratched by a stone, the villagers rushed him to the nearest Chinese medicine shop in Hua Ling.
When Hua Ling saw that situation, it was hard to understand, but it seemed to somehow show the villagers' trust in him.
Are you sure it's not considered the village's public health clinic?
It was just that because the store manager Lu was covered in mud, he was rejected by Hua Ling. He went to a car wash shop more than ten meters away to wash it off before sending it back for medicine.
Hua Ling pulled Xie Feng out from behind and patted him on the shoulder: "My son wants to learn guitar. I'll take him here to have a look."
After hearing this, Boss Lu put down what he was doing and stood up to entertain. When Xie Feng tried to play the piano himself, he asked Hua Ling: "Doesn't the child look a lot like you? Sui Mum?"
"No, adopted, that's weird." Hua Ling crossed her arms and answered with a smile.
"Oh... I thought I could know who was so powerful and captured Dr. Hua's heart, but I didn't expect that the doctor is still a bachelor..."
"You're not much better. Why did you find your younger siblings?" Hua Ling counterattacked the teasing of Store Manager Lu. Store Manager Lu covered his chest as if his heart was being stung.
Manager Lu wiped away the non-existent tears: "I have an ordinary appearance, and I have never even held a woman's hand..."
Hua Ling held her chin in thought, snapped her fingers and said to store manager Lu with a smile: "That's not true. You have held your mother's hand."
After hearing this, Manager Lu was stunned and kicked Hua Ling in shame. Hua Ling ducked to the side, but his kick missed.
Xie Feng picked out a guitar that suited him and couldn't put it down after taking it home. He asked Hua Ling if he could put his martial arts practice on hold and learn guitar.
"You can stop practicing martial arts, but exercising..."
"I will run every day!"
"Well, what's the punishment if you can't persist?"
"Well……"
Lu Ya suddenly appeared: "Just post the fact that he wetted the bed at the age of ten on the village bulletin board?"
Xie Feng looked at Lu Ya in shock. Hua Ling threw a stone at Lu Ya, but it was dodged.
Hua Ling shook his head: "Family scandals should not be made public."
Xie Feng held Hua Ling's arm, stuck out his tongue at Lu Ya, and asked fondly: "Then how will dad punish me?"
Hua Ling thought for a long time, suddenly thought of something, and nodded: "Just tell your sister when she comes home."
"Hey——!?" It's even scarier!
Later, under the guidance of Hua Ling, Xie Feng taught himself introductory piano music. After gradually becoming proficient, he began to compose his own songs, and he did not fall behind in practice.
Every time when Yin Mu gets on the bus home during long holidays and comes to the village entrance, he can see Xie Feng running. When he learned that Xie Feng runs and exercises almost every day during this period, Yin Mu showed a pleased expression.
Hua Ling's family doesn't care about their children's grades. This kind of thing usually depends on the two children's self-consciousness. It doesn't matter much if their grades are not good. If they have other interests, Hua Ling will also cultivate them.
Since junior high school, Yin Mu said that she wanted to be a police officer because she liked watching criminal investigation dramas. However, Hua Ling thought about it and told her: "Going to the police academy requires hard study, and it may be very tiring. A Mu is sure...
…”
"Of course!"
Later, Yin Mu had stricter standards for himself, a more regular schedule, and strict discipline on his younger brother.
Yin Mu is now in a state where he has decided which school to attend and is running towards his dream.
When Yin Mu came back during the summer vacation of his sophomore year of high school, he happened to meet Wang Ze and Zeng Kening coming back from a road trip. The two were happily discussing with Hua Ling. When they turned around, they saw Yin Mu standing at the door of their house packed with bags.
Zeng Kening quickly got up and helped Yin Mu carry things upstairs. After they went downstairs together, they moved stools and sat in front of the door, talking about interesting things about their travels.
After Yin Mu asked about their occupations, Zeng Kening told Yin Mu that he was a firefighter.
Yin Mu was very excited at the time, like a policeman!
After the young couple went back, Yin Mu pestered Hua Ling and asked why he didn't tell him that he knew a ready-made police officer?
"Firefighting is too dangerous. I don't want you to do this." Hua Ling smiled and reached out to touch the side of Yin Mu's face, rubbing it with his thumb.
Yin Mu grabbed Hua Ling's wrist and pursed his lips unhappily: "I can understand..."
"You never asked, and you met that uncle when you were a child."
"When? I don't remember..."
"Well...it's okay if you don't remember. Just treat it as a new acquaintance."
