As Children's Day gets closer and closer, Shen Chi spends more and more time at Grandpa Yuan San's house every day. After a week of practice, Shen Chi can barely play the song "Qian Ma".
Naturally, his level cannot be compared with someone like Grandpa Yuan San who has been around for 20 or 30 years, but Shen Chi has Shen Chi's methods.
After he became familiar with the fingering and the music, he directly memorized Grandpa San's movements in his mind with his super memory. When he was pulling, he used his memory to imitate Grandpa Three's movements. What he lacked was just the details. Such as the processing of fingering strength and rhythm.
After being guided and corrected by Third Grandpa, Shen Chi gradually became able to pull in a decent manner.
Of course, the music is limited to this song "Horse Racing". If he played other songs, Shen Chi would have to learn it all over again.
On Thursday, Shen Chi’s music was approved by Grandpa San, who said that he had barely learned the music and asked him to go back and practice more.
Shen Chi came back from Grandpa San's house happily. As soon as he entered the yard, the smile on his face froze.
He saw his eldest uncle Xiao Mingjin sitting in the yard talking to his grandma.
Seeing him, Shen Chi reluctantly called "uncle". From his words, Shen Chi learned that his cousin Xiao Zhou was having a birthday party tomorrow and came to Shen Chi's house to treat the guests.
Shen Chi's heart skipped a beat. Tomorrow is his cousin's wedding, so wouldn't it be the day after tomorrow that my eldest aunt...
Taking a deep breath, Shen Chi calmed down his ups and downs, and secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what, this tragedy would not happen again.
Early the next morning, Shen Chi asked Sun Tao to ask for leave. He would not go to school today. Sun Tao agreed and went to school alone with his schoolbag on his back. Shen Chi was waiting for his father in the yard.
Shen Changlin changed his clothes, took the gifts and pushed his 28-inch car to his eldest sister's house in the town, but saw Shen Chi still in the courtyard. It was almost time for school.
"Why don't you go to school?" Shen Changlin asked in surprise.
"I asked Sun Tao to ask for leave for me. I won't go to school today. I want to go to my aunt's house with you." Shen Chi replied.
"Nonsense! Children don't go to school to visit relatives, why don't they go to school quickly!" Shen Changlin scolded angrily.
"I understand everything taught in school. It doesn't matter if I don't go for a day." Shen Chi insisted.
Shen Changlin's tone was choked. He really couldn't find a reason to argue with what Shen Chi said, so he could only say forcefully: "You understand everything, so you don't need to learn? Go to school quickly."
"You can go alone without me." Shen Chi said stubbornly.
Shen Changlin's chest heaved with anger. He didn't know why Shen Chi, who was usually very obedient, was so stubborn today. At this time, Mrs. Hu came out and said, "If Xiao Chi wants to go, just take him there. It's okay if he doesn't go to school for a day."
Shen Changlin had no choice but to take Shen Chi with him.
Xiao Mingjin's house is just on the edge of Song Town. It is a one-story red brick house. This is considered a wealthy household in a rural area where mostly mud houses are still common.
It took only ten minutes to ride there. When Shen Changlin and Shen Chi arrived at Xiao Mingjin's house, seven or eight round tables were set up at the door, and many guests and friends who had arrived earlier were already sitting there.
The Xiao family has many relatives. When they saw Shen Changlin, everyone they knew jokingly called out: "Ming Jin, come out quickly to greet the distinguished guest. The child's uncle is here."
Shen Aizhi and Xiao Mingjin heard that Shen Changlin was coming and rushed out to welcome him.
"Second brother, you are here." Shen Aizhi greeted Shen Changlin.
Because Shen Chi knew the direction of the matter, he observed the expressions of the two of them carefully. Although the eldest uncle looked the same, the eldest aunt always had a forced smile. It seemed that the eldest aunt had been with the elder before he came. My uncle got into a quarrel.
Shen Changlin responded with a smile and moved the gift he had prepared in advance from the back seat of the bicycle. When he saw the stroller Shen Changlin bought, someone joked: "Second uncle is still interested."
At this time, someone said from time to time: "Why didn't uncle come?"
When Shen Chi saw the eldest aunt's face, she suddenly darkened. At this time, Shen Changlin quickly smoothed things over and said, "Eldest brother is unable to come because of something, and he specifically asked me to tell you."
Then he took out two red envelopes and handed them to Shen Aizhi and said: "These two red envelopes, one is mine and the other is brother's."
Shen Aizhi refused to accept it: "Second brother, you have already bought so many things for your child, I can't let you spend any more money."
"Yes, it's not considered a waste." Shen Changlin insisted.
Shen Aizhi was stubborn and only wanted one. Shen Changlin insisted on giving him both red envelopes. At this time, Shen Aizhi's eyes were red and he whispered: "Second brother, you don't have to lie to me. The eldest brother has never thought about it at all." If you recognize me as your sister, these two red envelopes will be yours."
Shen Changlin was a little embarrassed when he heard that these two red envelopes were indeed given by Shen Chi's mother, Gui Shuzhen, to ease the relationship between his aunt and uncle. Unexpectedly, Shen Aizhi felt like a mirror. .
At this time, Shen Chi said from the side: "Auntie, this red envelope was really brought to you by my uncle, who asked my father to bring it to you. We made a special trip to the uncle's house when we came here."
Thinking of the past life after my aunt left, my uncle has been regretting this for many years. If grandma hadn't asked him to look at the face of Xiao Zhou, the only flesh and blood that his aunt left in this world, he would have put his uncle in jail.
The uncle still loves his sister very much, but he is still angry at the moment and hates her as much as iron.
Shen Aizhi reached out and touched Shen Chi's head, but accepted the red envelope.
After being reborn, this was only the second time that Shen Chi saw his aunt.
Shen Chi's memory of his aunt in his previous life was actually very vague, but there were two clips that were always deeply engraved in his mind. One was of his aunt holding him while walking on the field stalks, leading the whole village with him. I wandered around the whole bay just to prevent him from crying.
Another scene was when his eldest aunt and his mother were shopping in the mall. Shen Chi couldn't remember exactly what he bought. He only remembered that his eldest aunt was holding him and walking in front, while his mother followed behind with a smile.
These all happened before the eldest aunt got married, when Shen Chi was just a few years old, but these two scenes were like dusty old objects. Occasionally brought out, they could still give him warmth and touch the softest part of his heart.
I was welcomed into the house by my aunt and uncle. There were snow walls on all sides, and a circle of one and a half meters from the ground to the wall was painted with blue paint. It was a typical decoration style of the 1980s. The interior was tidy. Bright, clean and tidy.
Xiao Mingjin attached great importance to Shen Changlin and specially arranged for a cousin from his family to accompany Shen Changlin. Shen Chi came only for his eldest aunt this time, and could no longer care about his father at this time. He stayed with his eldest aunt the whole time. Behind her, she was afraid that something might happen to her.
People came and went, the eldest uncle and the aunt's mother-in-law entertained the guests, and the eldest aunt took her cousin in the room. Everything was peaceful and nothing major happened.
