Chapter 62: New Year's Gifts
Zhuo Ziyuan didn't have anything important, he was now full of thoughts about translating the book as soon as possible.
Twilight has already translated halfway, and Zhuo Ziyuan's translation speed is getting faster and faster, which is also the reason why he didn't spend much effort on English, but he was still able to do well in the test.
During a winter vacation, except for Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, Zhuo Ziyuan's family went back to live in the old house, and the rest of the time, Zhuo Ziyuan stayed in the rental house in the Chunyuan community.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhuo Ziyuan went to Li Xinyuan's family to pay New Year's greetings, and Zhuo Ziyuan still brought a gift to Li Xinyuan, which was a flute.
This year, Li Xinyuan also bought a gift for Zhuo Ziyuan, which was a watch, and Zhuo Ziyuan did not receive it, nor did he accept it.
The instruments that Zhuo Ziyuan bought for Li Xinyuan are all musical instruments that she can use, which are not pure gifts, but can also be seen as gratitude to the teachers for their teaching.
But Zhuo Ziyuan didn't want to accept the gift given by Li Xinyuan, and when Li Xinyuan took it out, Zhuo Ziyuan said casually, "This is not good." ”
"I accepted everything you gave me, and it's rare for me to give you something, anyway, it's already given to you, don't you just throw it away yourself." Li Xinyuan didn't give Zhuo Ziyuan more room to shirk.
Zhuo Ziyuan thought to himself, you are talking so dead, what else can I say, can I really throw it away, can I still have a good time.
Zhuo Ziyuan has lived for more than 30 years, and he has never brought a watch, nor an electronic watch, but the brand of the watch still knows a few, and at a glance he knows that it is Tissot, which should be too easy to recognize in English on it, and it is estimated that it is not cheap, and a thousand dollars are still needed.
"Okay, then I'll take it, thank you Sister Yuan'er, but, Yuan'er, the things I gave you were all bought by my own money, you... Hehe, I guess I bought it with the money your parents asked. ”
"Don't look down on people, if I want to ask my parents for money, I'll give it to you last year. My paintings have been used in competitions, they have won awards, people have paid for them, and now I can make my own money. Li Xinyuan raised her head and said with a look of disdain.
Just like there is a manuscript fee for publishing a book, and you can make money by taking pictures, Li Xinyuan's paintings have also participated in a lot of competitions, and when you meet someone you like, you are willing to spend money to buy them, and a painting is at least hundreds.
"Yo, our little girl is so powerful, I really can't see it. ”
Looking at Li Xinyuan's proud appearance, Zhuo Ziyuan couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair, and slapped it twice by the way, the little girl is still very powerful, at such a young age, she is really talented in painting, Zhuo Ziyuan estimates that Li Guoqing's paintings have not sold a few.
"How many times have I told you, don't touch my head, don't touch my head, I'm not a child anymore. Li Xinyuan dodged Zhuo Ziyuan's hand, and while reaching for Zhuo Ziyuan's head, she also wanted to shoot it back.
Zhuo Ziyuan would not let her succeed, and while blocking her hand, he said, "A little brat, what kind of adult." ”
"You're pretending to be an adult, and you've been pretending to be an adult since I first saw you. Li Xinyuan chased Zhuo Ziyuan unrelentingly.
"Okay, you two don't make trouble, Xiaoyuan, there's nothing to do on New Year's Day anyway, or you can have lunch together at home, it's almost time for dinner." Li Guoqing smiled and stopped the two children.
Because on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he had to pay New Year's greetings to Murakami, and when Zhuo Ziyuan arrived at Li Xinyuan's house, it was already early.
"Okay, then I'll have lunch at my uncle's house, or I'll cook the food, I haven't shown my hand for a long time. Although Zhuo Ziyuan decided to alienate Li Xinyuan, but with Li Xinyuan, Zhuo Ziyuan still needs to maintain the relationship with this sister, and since his rebirth, the Li family is the closest family to him, Li Guoqing and his wife are very good to themselves, and they also teach themselves music and painting, which is also kind.
"Then no, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, how can I let you come to cook and cook, today you are a guest, or you and Yuan'er go to play the piano, it will be fine soon." Of course, Li Guoqing can't let Zhuo Ziyuan come to work on the first day of the new year.
"Okay, then I'll be respectful and obey my uncle. Zhuo Ziyuan said with a smile.
Zhuo Ziyuan called Zhuo's father first and told them that he would not go home for dinner. Now the conditions are relatively good, and Zhuo's father also bought a mobile phone after opening a convenience store, so it is much more convenient to contact now.
Zhuo Ziyuan hadn't touched the piano for more than half a year, so he took out the Qingjian sent by Xu Xuehua, put it on the piano stand, tried a few notes, and practiced fingering coherence a few times.
Li Xinyuan was holding the flute newly sent by Zhuo Ziyuan on the side, and she was also auditioning, she was going to use the flute to play with Zhuo Ziyuan today to laugh at the rivers and lakes to see how the effect was.
After getting acquainted, the two played the song of Xiaoao Jianghu together, not to mention, although they hadn't touched the piano for half a year, as soon as they played this song, Zhuo Ziyuan's familiarity came back in an instant, and there was no mistake in the whole process.
Moreover, today Li Xinyuan replaced the flute with a flute, and there is a new feeling, the timbre of the flute is crisp and bright, and the timbre of the flute is low and resentful, which seems to give this song two moods, in Zhuo Ziyuan's feeling, the flute is more of a reflection of the grievances and hatred of the rivers and lakes, and the flute is more of a reflection of the happy life in the rivers and lakes, Zhuo Ziyuan prefers the flute, and the flute, it is easy to say or not, I don't know if there is such a statement now, but there will definitely be an extension in the future.
"Yuan'er, I think in the future, you will use the flute to play with me, I prefer the timbre of this flute. ”
"Okay, I also prefer the sound of the flute, the flute is too dull. Li Xinyuan also said happily, having a good flute is different, and the previous flute can't blow this effect.
"Come on, let's practice a few more times, I haven't played in a long time. Zhuo Ziyuan said impatiently.
At the dinner table, Li Guoqing and his wife were also very concerned about Zhuo Ziyuan.
"Xiaoyuan, you haven't come to play at home for half a year, and you don't come to play the piano anymore, what about painting, are you still painting? Li Guoqing asked while serving Zhuo Ziyuan vegetables.
"Uncle, enough dishes, enough. Zhuo Ziyuan looked at the enthusiastic Li Guoqing and said, "It's not so convenient now, the house I rent, there is no soundproof room, playing the piano or something will affect the neighbors, I'm still painting, I feel that I have made great progress, and when I have time, I will take the painting I painted back to my uncle to see if there is any progress." ”
Painting is Zhuo Ziyuan's insistence, he wants to paint a portrait of his daughter, a perfect portrait, this is one of his obsessions, although he has painted many portraits of his daughters, but they are only similar to the shape, can not be like the gods, he is very dissatisfied, can not paint the spirituality of his daughter.
"Then you come to the house to play on the weekend when you have time, you haven't been here once in the past six months, Yuan'er misses you. Li Guoqing began to joke about the two children again, which was the biggest fun he had since he met Zhuo Ziyuan.
In fact, don't say that fathers are reluctant to marry their daughters or anything, all fathers hope that their daughters will be happy, and when they meet a good person, they still hope that their daughters can catch it, Zhuo Ziyuan is that good person in Li Guoqing's heart.
"Uncle, my grades have dropped a little this semester, and I guess I will spend more time on studying next semester, and I will come to play more often after the summer vacation. Zhuo Ziyuan's attitude towards Li Guoqing has always been very helpless, how can there be a father who thinks about getting a boyfriend for his daughter all day long, and strictly speaking, it is still early love.
