Chapter 16: Mozart's Whale

Du Shenyun didn't expect Song Wenzhu to really arrange a girl to meet him.

Every time she talked about it before, she just showed him the photos. Usually at this time, he just laughed it off, after all, he didn't think she would come for real.

If it was all on paper before, then this time it is a real gun on the front line.

"This is Teacher Zhang's niece, named Yu Lu. Song Wenzhu introduced.

"Hello. Du Shenyun greeted politely.

"Lulu, this is my son Du Shenyun. Song Wenzhu had only known Yu Lu for two days, and he had already affectionately called her Lulu.

"You two are alumni of ECNU, so you may have known each other before. Song Wenzhu said.

Unexpectedly, Yu Lu really echoed and said: "When I was a freshman, it was said that because there were too few girls in the choir of the Academy of Mathematical Sciences, I pulled a few colleges of education on top. I remember that the senior was in charge of piano accompaniment in the band at that time. PondΒ· Ordway's DreamingofHomeandMother. ”

Du Shenyun thought about it, and there was really such a thing: "You are the school girl who was called over to help with the chorus?"

Song Wenzhu and Teacher Zhang's eyes turned back and forth between the two of them.

Yu Lu smiled and shook her head: "I'm standing behind you and playing the violin." ”

When Song Wenzhu heard this, his eyes lit up: "Sanyun, then you should know Lulu." ”

"I'm sorry... I'm not impressed. Du Shenyun said.

"It's okay, senior, you seemed to be very busy at the time, and you only came over to rehearse once in a hurry, and then you went on stage... However, it was only rehearsed once, and it was still able to play so well. Yu Lu said shyly.

"It's everyone who works well together. Du Shenyun said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, don't you know each other now. It shows that you are really very fateful. Teacher Zhang took the opportunity to say.

"yes. Song Wenzhu also said.

The two fell into silence, and Song Wenzhu saw the opportunity, so he had to speak first to break the deadlock: "Lulu, what do you like to do when you play the violin?"

"I like to study tea ceremonies and pottery, and occasionally listen to concerts. Also, I'm interested in Go. Yu Lu said.

"You also like Go, and our family also likes it, when will you two learn from each other. Song Wenzhu said.

Du Shenyun was a Go club in college, and he won an award in middle school.

"I don't know how many seniors are, I'm stupid, I'm just fiddling at home, and I can't get on the stage. Yu Lu said.

"It doesn't matter if you're stupid, when you come to our house, let Shenyun give you guidance. Song Wenzhu said.

"It's good if you're interested. I'm just an amateur too. Du Shenyun said.

He knew his mother's intentions, but out of politeness, he couldn't just walk away.

While Yu Lu and Teacher Zhang went to the bathroom, he said the words that he had suppressed before.

"Mom, I already have Jiang Yu, why do you still call me over for dinner?" Du Shenyun frowned.

"What's wrong with having a meal, isn't it good to make more friends?" Song Wenzhu asked.

"Of course I don't care about making friends, but do you mean making more ordinary friends?" Du Shenyun said.

"It's good that you just treat her like an ordinary friend first, and the relationship can be cultivated slowly. Besides, you are not engaged, you are not married, and the man is not married and the woman is not married, why can't you have more choices?" Song Wenzhu said.

"What new idea of 'free love' are you advocating? Does that mean I can't be loyal to my current partner?"

"Yes, yes, your generation is much more 'free' than we used to be. However, Sanyun, you have to recognize the reality. In the context of society, how many people can be involved in the marriage of two people? The real and pure 'free love' that you want is impossible to achieve. It's just a slogan at best. In a relationship, you do need to be loyal, but your loyalty depends on the situation of your partner. You think that you are only marrying your Du Shenyun's wife, but she is far more than just this social role. She is also my daughter-in-law and the mother of my grandson... Can't I exercise the slightest choice over this? Your wife will take my place in the future, and will keep in touch with the relatives and friends of the whole family, and take up her responsibilities. Even if it wasn't for the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, it couldn't retreat so much. Speaking of which, our family also has a small face, let others know that my daughter-in-law is a bus driver with a high school Chinese background and has not studied in college, where do you let my face go, and where do you put my father's face?"

Du Shenyun was speechless, he didn't know how to refute.

Seeing that his expression was a little relaxed, Song Wenzhu made persistent efforts: "I think Jiang Yu is also a very proud child. Do you think that if she marries into our family, she will really be happy? Do you think that relatives and friends at home will not criticize her at all? A mouthful of spit will not drown people, but what about too much? Why from ancient times to the present, not many people have objected to the four words "the right person?"

Song Wenzhu's series of questions and rhetorical questions are full of momentum, moving with emotion, knowing with reason, and progressing layer by layer, making Du Shenyun irrefutable.

What she said is very reasonable, those family visits to relatives and friends, all kinds of messy trivial matters, and human affairs, it has always been my mother who has been busy, and he and my father have never interfered, let alone help anything. If Jiang Yu marries in, these things will naturally fall on her head in the future.

However, with her character, she may not be as delicate as her mother.

There is also Jiang Yu's academic qualifications and occupation...

Most of his cousins were teachers, doctors, lawyers, and engineers, all of whom were quite decent professions.

This is also a difficult problem.

But he didn't want to give up Jiang Yu easily.

He can still remember that when she pretended to be a parent and broke into his office, his heart was like being hit by a fawn.

It was a stunning sight that he thought he would never forget.

They first met at a young age, and they were fortunate enough to meet again.

He admits that he is a layman, and he is both bound by his childhood friendship and intoxicated by the beauty of Jiang Yu.

Catching a glimpse of Yu Lu coming back, Song Wenzhu said quickly in a low voice, "In the evening, Teacher Zhang and I will go first." You're in charge of sending Yu Lu home. ”

…

…

Ji Cheng didn't want to go back to Ji Chuan, he had his own house, and it was a phone call from Aunt Yun who called him back.

After entering the door, passing the entrance, and walking to the living room, I found Ji Chuan sitting on the ground.

The picture is exactly the same as when I was a child.

The blue remote-controlled car crashed into his slippers, and he looked up, bypassed, and walked in front of him.

When he was a child, he angrily picked up the remote control car directly, and Ji Chuan collapsed at that time.

Slowly, he figured out his temperament.

"Morning... How's it going?"

"Not so good. ”

"Tell me about it. He crouched down.

"I don't know what I've done wrong. I showed her my favorite comic book and the RC car, and then she was too tired to sleep for a while. Then we started lunch, and she said she wasn't used to using a knife and fork, so I cut the steak for her. But... Before she could finish eating, she left. What went wrong?"

Ji Cheng saw the watch Ji Chuan was wearing on his hand, and the same dark green silk shirt they were wearing today, with the two buttons on it open.

It's exactly the same dress, and even the hairstyle is similar.

So, I had the answer in my heart.

"Didn't you say it before, Jiang Yu is not an ordinary girl. The way I get along with her is indeed a little different. He said.

"So what should I do? I'm sincere enough with her. Ji Chuan said puzzled.

"In your way, it belongs to Ji Chuan's way. Ji Cheng reached out and carefully took off the watch, "If you're not used to wearing this, don't wear it." Don't you feel uncomfortable wearing it?"

"My way?" he shook his head in frustration, his gray eyes grey as cloudy, "I am an uncreative man, a defective product of God. ”

He looked at the remote-controlled car on the side: "I am destined to live by imitating others, like a hermit crab, inhabiting my body in the hard shell of other creatures. He raised his head and looked directly into Ji Cheng's eyes, "Without you, there would be no me." Without Ji Cheng, there would be no Ji Chuan. ”

Hermit crabs are highly vulnerable to other animals due to their lack of a hard carapace and soft and curly abdomen. Therefore, hermit crabs can only live in the empty shells left behind by the death of some snail animals to protect their soft bodies.

"Ji Chuan, what kind of person he is and what kind of personality he has, I haven't figured it out yet. This is a question that is beyond my reach. ”

Ji Cheng rubbed the silver watch, looked at his younger brother who was not related by blood but was too deeply bounded, and said, "Trust me, you are just different." Sooner or later, someone will answer that question for you. ”

"...... Tonight"

"I'm going to see the disc. Without waiting for Ji Cheng to finish speaking, Ji Chuan stood up awkwardly.

His motor cells are quite underdeveloped, and the sofa on his side is still wobbly when he stands up.

"How's Xiaochuan's mood?" Aunt Yun walked over from behind.

"Don't worry, Aunt Yun, I have been with him for so many years for his illness, and I can be regarded as half a doctor. Ji Cheng stood up and replied.

"That Miss Jiang...... Does it really work? Will it irritate him even more?" Aunt Yun asked hesitantly.

Ji Cheng was silent for a while, in fact, he was not sure, finding Jiang Yu was not a good thing for her.

"I'm measured. ”

…

Shakespeare's plays are being played on TV, which is also a hobby of Ji Chuan.

So, he bought him a lot of discs so that he could watch them over and over again and kill the boring time.

"Hamlet?" Ji Cheng walked into Ji Chuan's room.

The bed inside was very low, and he was sitting on the floor, leaning against the foot of the bed.

"Hmm. He replied, staring intently.

On TV, two harlequins are digging a grave for Ophelia, gagging and joking with each other.

This is the fifth act of Hamlet, the first scene in the cemetery.

Clown B is called by Clown A to John's hotel to pour wine, and he continues to sing and dig: "When I was young, I loved to cheat the most, and I thought it was very interesting; ”

Hamlet: "Doesn't this guy have any feelings for his job, and sings when he's digging graves?"

Horace: "He's used to doing this kind of thing, so he doesn't care. ”

Hamlet: "Exactly, the hand that does not work much, its senses are more sensitive." ”

The clown threw up a skeleton and sang: "Who would have thought that now that the years are slipping, the old scene is urging people to be anxious for the spark, the legs are straight, and one life returns to the west, there has never been me in the world." ”

…

"This is too esoteric for you, how about I recommend a movie for you?" Ji Cheng's eyes withdrew from the TV.

Unable to get any response, Ji Cheng waited patiently, and it was not until this scene was over that Ji Chuan pressed the pause button, raised his head and asked him, "What movie?"

"'Mozart and the Whale,' a pair of Asperger's patientsβ€”" he paused deliberately, "a love story." ”
