Chapter 39： birthday present! New home surprise? ...

Liang Feifei had already sat next to the organ, turned her head and straightened her back, staring at him a little shyly.

Teacher Xiao Liu took the key to help Liang Feifei open the lock on the organ cover and straightened up.

Seeing Chu Jin coming over, Teacher Xiao Liu smiled and asked: "I knew that Chu Jin would definitely play "For Alice". Come on, the teacher will find you a stool, and you two will play one with four hands."

Chu Jin shook his head.

In the surprised eyes of Teacher Liu and Feifei Liang, their voices were low and determined, "I don't know how to play with four hands."

Chu Jin started to learn piano at the age of three, and for more than three years, his father taught him at the beginning.

Father Chu played the piano very well. He heard from his father that he was chased by his mother who played the piano at the university party.

I also listened to my mother's countless sweet memories, the beautiful past when she and her young father were in college in Beijing.

Later, my father gave up everything in the capital and accompanied my mother back to the small northern city where she was born and raised, and set up a family.

Occasionally, I would listen to my uncle and aunt chewing their tongues, talking about his grandparents’ family in the capital, and my father gave up his inheritance rights and was kicked out of the family.

Except for his little uncle who occasionally visits Qizhou, he has never seen any of his father's relatives.

Although the song "For Alice" is famous, Chu Jin has never practiced it.

For him, playing the piano is relaxing, and he can only practice with the music he likes.

Today, I bit my head. One reason is that Nuo Tuanzi wants to hear it, and he has no other chance to touch the piano. Although the tone of the organ is worse than that of the piano, the conditions are limited and it can only be done...

Another reason is that he is really selfish in it.

I have a piano song I like very much and I want to share it with Song Qiaoxi.

More specifically, I want to give this piece to her.

In a few days, June 5th is Song Qiaoxi’s eighth birthday.

During the New Year, the nine-year-old Chu Jin used the red envelopes given by the uncles and aunts of the compound to buy books and teaching materials, and he didn't have much money.

The pocket money given by Uncle Song and Aunt Qiao used to buy snacks for the dumplings every day. The little girl was too good to eat and couldn't save money...

In 1998, he was just a nine-year-old kid. He had no chance to go to the mall on the way to and from school. Even if he went to the mall, he couldn't buy any decent gifts with this little money.

He has always liked this piano piece, and hopes Song Qiaoxi can like it.

That is "City in the Sky".

This cartoon is one of the few animated films he has watched. The video tape was bought by his father. The three of them have watched it several times together.

Father and mother hope that he is like the little hero in the movie, with the spirit of forever forward, forge ahead, and indomitable.

Until Song Qiaoxi shared his dream of "traveling around the world", now she and Xiao Nuo Tuan have a dream.

With dreams, Chu Jin often lays on the bed and stares at the ceiling thinking before going to bed.

Why is Song Qiaoxi, a small glutinous group, so bold?

Don't talk about going abroad, she hasn't even traveled to the province, the farthest place has only been to Taicheng, which is more than two hours away from Qizhou.

But she was so bold in making any decision, and she really worked hard and acted for it.

Through Song Qiaoxi's behavior, Chu Jin seemed to truly understand the meaning of "City in the Sky" to him.

I understand why the little heroine Baru will unconditionally help the little heroine Cida complete her vision.

Because now, he also wants to do the same thing as Baru.

Regardless of Song Qiaoxi’s dream, vision, whoever he wants to be in the future, or what he wants to do...

As long as she hopes and wants to do, Chu Jin will do her best to help this little girl like a crystal fulfill her dream.

In the movie "Castle in the Sky", Baru and Cedar had a beautiful encounter. The little girl who fell from the sky, wearing a blue sky stone on her chest, slowly fell in front of the boy.

And Chu Jin, on the night when he was exhausted and curled up in the dark corner of the reception room of the compound two years ago, Song Qiaoxi shone like a light into his dark world without a trace of color.

"Then let's welcome Liang Feifei first and bring you a song "For Alice", where is the applause?"

Teacher Xiao Liu took the lead in applauding, and the students applauded sparsely in the class.

On the contrary, Song Qiaoxi slapped the "piapia" of the small slap in the back, after all, she has always been a champion.

"Liang Feifei is stern, so fierce..."

"Shhh, she's looking at you, be careful to come to you after class..."

"I still want to watch the four-handed play. What will I play in a while?"

"I don't know, I also want to watch Chu Jin play the piano."

......

Liang Feifei glared fiercely at some of the students who hadn't applauded seriously, sat upright on the bench, and began to play the piano. The piano sounded.

She didn’t play four hands with Chu Jin, she was in a bad mood, and because she was not familiar with the pedals of the organ, she played several syllables wrong in the middle, so she played the song "For Alice" so badly. Finally, it hastily finished.

In the process of Liang Feifei's relationship, Teacher Xiao Liu came over, took Chu Jin's shoulders, and asked softly, "What are you going to play in a while?"

Standing at the forefront of the podium, Chu Jin looked up at the seat Song Qiaoxi was sitting on, and nodded to Teacher Liu, "City in the Sky."

The teacher was stunned for a moment, and she hadn't heard the song, but since the boy wants to play, let him go.

After the performance of "For Alice", Teacher Liu smiled encouragingly to Liang Feifei and led everyone to applaud again.

Xiao Nuo Tuan winked at Wang Junyang and the others in advance to make their atmosphere a little warmer. Driven by several activists in the class, the applause was much more enthusiastic this time than in the opening ceremony.

Song Qiaoxi felt that if she played well or not, Liang Feifei had the courage to stand on the podium and play the piano in front of everyone. It was already very powerful.

Of course, we must give her the greatest support and encouragement!

Teacher Xiao Liu’s voice came from the direction of the podium, "Thank you Liang Feifei, let’s ask Chu Jin to bring you a song "City in the Sky". Students applaud and welcome."

This time the applause was as loud as thunder, and the students in Class 5 of the second grade were all excited.

The school grass with the highest value in their class had to perform their talents in public, but the children were so excited.

The "Little Gang of Five" felt even more embarrassed. Both Wang Junyang and Ding Yi left the bench and cheered loudly.

Even Ding Miao, who has always been calm, applauded Chu Jin vigorously, and whispered to his tablemate Zhao Xin to "pop" Chu Jin's piano so well.

Not to mention Song Qiaoxi, who is already kneeling on the bench with her legs up, and her upper body raised up, clapping like a little seal like "piapia".

Sitting on the piano bench, Chu Jin probably tried a few syllables and pedal feel.

Turning his head, through the curious little heads of the classmates, he glanced at the little glutinous ball that was "uplifted", smiled knowingly and began to play.

The sound of the organ is not as pure as a piano because of the different pronunciation principles, but the lingering syllables and the song "City in the Sky" have a unique charm.

The beautiful musical notes spin and jump into the ears of children like elves.

It was the first time that most of the students listened to this piece. The melody is moving and melodious, and because of the sound of the organ, there is a touch of sadness. One piece of tune was played smoothly by Chu Jin, and the whole class was attracted, even Even Teacher Xiao Liu was shocked by Chu Jin's performance.

Song Qiaoxi was fascinated by it. Just 2 minutes of a piece of music, but before her eyes it was like a movie. A little boy and a little girl popped out. Two little protagonists hand in hand, for the sake of ideals and the pursuit of a beautiful vision. Struggle and move forward bravely.

After finishing the song, Chu Jin stood up from the piano bench, bowed slightly to the students, turned around and nodded to Teacher Liu, and returned to his seat calmly.

The class was silent.

Teacher Xiao Liu was stunned. If it hadn't been for the bell rang for the end of get out of class, she would have forgotten that she was in class and felt sore in her eyes.

Chu Jin is really good at playing. This little boy is really talented. If he is not trained systematically, such a good sense of music will be wasted.

Because of the reminder of the end of get out of class bell, the students in the class reacted and burst into applause.

Almost all the students slapped their hands and turned to look at Chu Jin.

At that moment, Song Qiaoxi was the proudest person.

Like everyone else, she gave Chu Jin a sincere compliment.

Knowing that all the cubs of their old Song family are so good, as long as her family knows everything, any talent will burst the audience!

The boy's expression was calm, always in that humiliating look, and he nodded lightly without making any other movements.

After class was over, the curious classmates dispersed. He grabbed Song Qiaoxi by the corner of her clothes and asked her a question, "Do you like it?"

Song Qiaoxi nodded her head like a chicken pecking at the rice, and she didn't hesitate to praise her, turning over all the compliments in her mind.

Of course she likes it, not an ordinary like, but an explosive like!

I like to talk to her parents when she is ready to go home, and buy a piano for her and Chu Jin when she moves to a new house. Even if she doesn't know how to play, listening to Chu Jin playing the piano every day is a pleasure.

But what Song Qiaoxi didn't know was that until she returned home from school that day, Chu Jin didn't tell her alone that this song was actually a birthday present he gave her.

This little secret has been buried in Chu Jin's heart for many years.

However, in a very unexpected scene in the future, I was forced to tell the truth.

Time passed, and Chu Jin, who was already a young man, had never expected that his feelings for a person had planted a seed from a very early age.

When it was discovered, the seed had grown into a towering tree, and the intertwined root veins had long been firmly rooted in his heart, and his unquenchable emotions made him uncomfortable...

-

The summer vacation of 1998 passed slowly.

Throughout the holiday, Song Qiaoxi, apart from mixing with the "Little Gang of Five", was to learn photography and English from Qiu Meng's sister.

She has a very good sense of language. After a few months, the English story tapes that sister Qiu Meng sent her were basically memorized.

I have been able to read some simple English picture books independently, and even if I am not busy, I will secretly turn through the original books that are full of words and pictures.

It's just that every time I go away with happiness and return with failure.

The full of new words can’t even survive the first page, every time I knock my head with a thick book, I sigh, it’s too difficult...

Although my dad took the time to go to the Xinhua Bookstore and bought her an English-Chinese dictionary, until now, Nuo Tuanzi has not developed a good habit of looking up the dictionary.

The little girl has her own set of "criticisms and heresies", and she felt that the blame for this matter is still very strange.

Who left a living English dictionary by his side?

Is there any word that you don’t know, just open your mouth and ask, it’s so troublesome to look up a dictionary? You can also listen to Chu speaks English by the way, and you can kill two birds with one stone.

In October 1998, after the National Day, the Song family ushered in several happy events.

The first happy event is that the new house was officially renovated during the summer vacation. After running away for more than two months, Mom and Dad chose a good day to move to a new house in October.

The second happy event, although Chu Jin still failed to agree to live in the new home, his parents discussed and renovated the third room into a study room with single beds, and prepared a big surprise in the room.

They hoped that this surprise might make Chu Jin change his mind?

The third happy event was also completely unexpected by Song Qiaoxi. The plot that was not mentioned in the original book at all was that both father and mother were promoted.

Dad’s title was rated as deputy high, and he was promoted to the position of editor-in-chief. Mom’s title was also higher, which meant that their salaries had risen by a level.

The Song family in October is full of harvest.

The day of moving is a Saturday.

The big pieces of furniture were basically bought new, and some of the outdated furniture in the old home was ready to be disposed of by the Song family.

Because it was very close, it took no more than ten minutes to walk. With the help of Uncle Ding and Uncle Wang, the leftover clothes and bedding were pulled over by the tricycle of the uncle doorman.

The neighbors in the compound have the custom of Wenju, and the Song family has set Wenju's day on Sunday.

I moved everything over on Saturday, so I packed up.

On Friday night, Song Qiaoxi slept so unsteadily.

Tossing about on her Westinghouse cot, she couldn't sleep at all.

Keep opening his eyes and look at the alarm clock of the little rabbit on the bedside holding carrots.

The pointer of the alarm clock is fluorescent, just watch the pointer go from 9:30 in the evening, to 11:30 in the evening, to 1:30 in the morning...

It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that she fell asleep in a daze.

After a few hours of sleep, when the alarm clock went off at 6:30, she pressed off the alarm clock vigorously, jumped out of the bed barefoot, and rushed into the bedroom of mom and dad.

One swooped into the middle of the parents, rolling around like a little loach, "Mom and dad are up! Get up soon! We are moving today, the sun is tanning!"

After the new home was renovated, in order to give her and Chu a surprise, Mom and Dad had never taken them there, and they were waiting for the mystery of the new house to be unveiled today.

Xiao Nuo Tuan was really excited, pulling his father's beard and poking his mother's arm.

Qiao Qin and Song Jianguo waited for their girls to fall asleep last night, and then went to their new home to clean and toss before returning until midnight. They were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes.

Father Song grabbed the stumbling ball and pushed her into his wife's arms, "Go to my mother and let my father sleep a little longer."

Qiao Qin was also panicked at the moment, opened the thin quilt to bring in the "little loach", and patted her little **** several times with great skill, "Be obedient, Xixi, accompany mom and dad to sleep for a while," You count and call us when you count to 1,000."

Two more pupas in her mother's arms, Song Qiaoxi really began to count silently in her heart.

It's just that I don't know if it's because my mother's arms are too warm, or if my parents' big bed is more comfortable than her small bed, I fell asleep again without counting to 100.

When she woke up, Mom and Dad were all up, alone in the bed.

Look at the alarm clock beside the bed, it's half past eight!

She remembered that Uncle Ding and Uncle Wang came over at half past nine to help with the move, hurriedly climbed out of the bed, stared at a mess of long curly hair, rubbed their eyes and walked out of the bedroom.

There was not much left in the living room, and everything in the cupboard was emptied.

Chu Jin was sitting on the dining table peeling tea eggs, the plate in front of him was empty, and the cup was empty. On the opposite plate were two pieces of fried sugar cake and a cup of soy milk.

The sweet breakfast was prepared for Song Qiaoxi.

He gently rolled the egg on the table, his long pale hand carefully peeled off the brown egg skin of the tea egg, and soon, a complete tea egg was peeled off.

Put the egg on the opposite plate, Chu Jin raised his eyes to look at her, and said calmly, "Uncle Song and Aunt Qiao come back in a while, you go brush your teeth first, and I will comb your hair for breakfast."

"Um, good."

He promised, and ran into the bathroom barefoot.

Only heard that Chu Jin went into the kitchen first, and the bead curtain made a crackling sound and the sound of water.

Did he wash his hands?

Soon, Nuo Dangzi holding his toothbrush in his mouth heard Chu Jin's voice with a little dissatisfaction behind him, "Put on shoes."

The source of this sound is a bit strange?

Turning his head, he found that the boy was kneeling on the ground on one knee. He straightened his little rabbit cotton slippers, and he just put them on as long as he lifted his foot.

Song Qiaoxi is very angry, as long as it is not particularly cold, she will not feel cold when she runs barefoot at home.

Mom and Dad are not at home and no one cares about her, so they are used to running around barefoot.

Sometimes she found that Chu Jin had such a fascination with her parents, and she loved to take care of her too.

But still put on slippers obediently.

After brushing her teeth, she was sitting at the dining table holding soy milk in her hands and sipping, her long legs dangling.

Looking back at Chu Jin, he held his hair rope in his mouth, and he held a wooden comb in his hand to help her smooth her long hair skillfully.

"Beat buds today, right?"

Xin An rationally asked his personal "hairdresser" for today's hairstyle, and started to gnaw sugar cake like a little hamster.

When Mom and Dad came back, the two children packed up neatly, the dining table was also cleaned, and they cleverly waited for them on the sofa holding the book nest.

Behind his parents were Papa Wang, Papa Ding, Mama Ding, as well as Wang Junyang and the others. All the family members were all alive except for Ms. Wang's opening of the beauty salon that day.

"Guys, work it out!"

Uncle Ding's loud voice yelled, and the big guy started to act.

It didn't take long for this small two-bedroom apartment of more than 50 square meters to be evacuated.

Fearing that the children would add chaos, Song Qiaoxi and the others were rushed to Chu Jin's boiler room again.

At twelve noon, Qiao Qin came and knocked on the door of the boiler room. Song's new home was a little closer to the boiler room. Even in the window of Song Qiaoxi's room, you could see the window of Chu Jin's boiler room.

Of course, neither of the two children know this yet.

It was also because Song Jianguo and his wife had used their minds and wanted to keep Chu living at home, so they deliberately prevented the two children from seeing the new house in advance.

Qiao Qin took Song Qiaoxi with his left hand and Chu Jin with his right hand, leading the two children towards the new home.

Song Qiaoxi's eyes widened as soon as he entered the door.

Oh my god!

The new home is really big and big!

Mom raised her finger to a room facing east, "Xixi, that is your room, go and see first? Then we will go to another room, but there are surprises waiting for you and Chu Jin."

Regardless of looking at the living room carefully, Song Qiaoxi took Chu Jin's wrist and ran to her room.

"Wow......"

The combination of pink and white children's furniture, the handles of the wardrobe are all pink butterflies.

The bed is a princess bed with a heart on the headboard, the bedding is a four-piece beige lace, the desk is pure white, the bookshelf is much larger than the old bookshelf, Song Qiaoxi’s books are not satisfied, probably only three points one.

The curtains are soft cherry blossom powder and white gauze curtains, double curtains, she walked to the window to look down, turned her head excitedly and said to Chu Jin, "Look! Here you can see the boiler room, so before going to bed at night, I open the window, you open the window, we can greet each other good night!"

Song Qiaoxi was so excited that she was about to jump onto the bed while pulling Chu Jin.

Mom knocked on the door of her room, "Xixi, do it all, come and take a look at another room."

The other room is next to her bedroom, also facing east and facing well.

As soon as she entered, she was shocked from ear to ear.

If the room just now was the room of the little princess, then this room is really like the room where the little prince lives.

The overall tone is wood color and navy blue, and a full wall is covered with bookcases, and there are many dad's books on it.

Next to the bookcase is a single bed, similar in style to Song Qiaoxi's small bed, but in navy blue and white colors, with a desk under the window sill.

But this is not the biggest surprise. The biggest surprise is that there is a black YAMAHA upright piano in this room, lying quietly against the wall.

"Mom, this is..." Nuo Tuanzi walked to the piano excitedly, gently stroked the shiny piano cover, looked up and down, and exclaimed, "It's really a piano, Mom, you I really bought a piano with my dad!"

Turned his head to look at Chu Jin.

He stood at the door in a daze, his hands no longer relaxed at his sides, but slowly clenched.

His dark eyes stared at the piano, his throat rolled up and down, and his thin lips opened slightly.

But after a long time, Chu Jin didn't say a word.

Nuo Tuanzi saw complex emotions in his eyes, and he couldn't tell at once. Is he happy or unhappy?

The origin of piano should start with Chu Jin playing "City in the Sky" at school.

By coincidence, in the afternoon when Chu Jin was playing the organ at school, Qiao Qin and Song Jianguo happened to be free, so they didn't let the children go to Xia’s family for a meal.

In order to make up for the "get off work hard" of the two children during this period, the couple left work early and prepared a table of good food.

As soon as Song Qiaoxi came home from school, she smelled familiar food again.

The little guy hadn't eaten his mother's food for a while, so he followed his mother's buttocks in the kitchen for a long time.

It wasn't until the freshly cooked red braised prawns, the wide-flavored diced sausages that had not been cooked as side dishes, and the sweet tomatoes on the sand stuffed out of the kitchen.

At the dinner table, Song Qiaoxi described Chu Jin’s wonderful performance in playing the piano at school, and she gave a happy expression to her. Finally, she blinked her big eyes and asked her parents, "Mom, Dad, Chu Jin plays the piano so well, I think too. To learn piano, let's move to a new house and buy a piano, okay? Chu Jin can be my teacher!"

Xiao Nuo Tuan naturally didn't know how expensive and hard to buy pianos in that era.

She only remembered that Chu Jin took her arm and said something to her parents, probably because he didn't want his parents to waste money. He didn't like playing the piano that much, and said that Song Qiaoxi was not for learning the piano.

At that time, he was so angry that Nuo Tuanzi turned around holding a big jujube bun and turned his head angrily, holding his back to him for the rest of the meal.

The character of "small straight ball" made Song Qiaoxi naturally unable to understand what Chu Jin said. He just said that deliberately because he didn't want his parents to spend money.

But Song Jianguo and Qiao Qin listened.

The couple discussed in the evening and decided to take out the contribution fees and bonus they saved, and asked a friend to buy a piano for Chu Jin and put it in the new house.

By the way, I also let my daughters follow the influence. Girls learn to play the piano and cultivate their temperament.

The main purpose is still hope, so that Xiao Chu can let go of his knots and live in the Song family steadily...

At this moment, Qiao Qin was playing drums in his heart, and couldn't tell Chu Jin's reaction.

Watching the child without speaking, he stared directly at the piano.

Is he willing or unwilling to stay?
