Chapter 4 The Metropolis of Seoul
In this way, Xu Canhao's days at school have passed for five months. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is to eat books every day, not only textbooks, but also all kinds of other books. The rest of the time is either to learn piano at home with Xu's mother, take care of the baby, or exercise, and the days are monotonous and fulfilling. In the face of his changes, the two parents are very happy, what is more worthy of joy and happiness than a perfect home?
During this period, the school also communicated with Xu's mother, hoping that Xu Canhao would directly participate in the examination of the junior high school, and after the test, Xu Canhao's comprehensive results would be able to directly study in the second year of junior high school (Xu Canhao blushed when he thought of this, he didn't hide his selfishness, and went all out to take the exam, and the result... The sad can only go to the second year of junior high school. This is a slap in the face! )。 Mother Xu went home and discussed it with Father Xu and Xiao Canhao, and decided to go to Seoul to study. And because Xu's mother was hired to Seoul Yigao as the dean of the instrumental music department, the family decided to move to Seoul with their family. This is a big move for a family of four, and there is also a baby in swaddling clothes. (In fact, Seoul has only changed its Chinese title, and for non-Chinese speakers, the name of the Korean capital has not changed to English seoul.) Therefore, for the sake of convenience, Seoul has been used in the article. )
On vacation, the family reluctantly sold the house they had lived in for nearly ten years, and some things that could not be taken away were also disposed of, which took nearly a month. said goodbye to relatives and friends in the neighborhood, and went to visit the old man Shen's house and the teachers who taught Xiao Canhao. Under the pity, Xiao Canhao not only received a lot of parting gifts, but also gave many promises. Who doesn't like a child like this who is sensible and polite and a little genius. When saying goodbye to the English teacher, Xiao Canhao was hugged and received a baptism of tears, which made Xu Canhao embarrassed and funny. After doing this, Dad Xu drove the family in the direction of Seoul, followed by a moving company's cargo truck. An incident happened on the way, which made Xu Canhao have to sigh that fate had arranged it so deliberately.
Girls' Generation. After Xu Canhao came into contact with his sister in the previous life, he began to gradually change from paying attention to liking. But what he didn't expect was that the little baby who was held by Mother Xu sitting in the back row turned out to be... Busy!
"Husband, shouldn't we give Pearl an official name? I'm about to turn one year old. Mother Xu looked at her sleeping little daughter in her arms, and gently stroked the child's thinning hair with her fingers and asked.
Xu Canhao also retracted his gaze to look at the scenery, and leaned over to Xu's mother to look at the cute little baby. "Yes, my sister's milk name is the word taken from my mother, and it looks very appropriate, and she will definitely be a cute and mellow little beauty in the future."
"Hehe, our Chan Ho is getting better at talking now. I like my sister very much, right? Xu Mu stretched out a free hand around Xiao Canhao's neck, and stroked up and down with her fingers on his fair and smooth little face.
Dad Xu, who was driving, smiled, looked at them through the rearview mirror and said, "Well, then let's come up with a nice name for our little princess." Bingzhen's name takes the meaning of precious. Xu Zhen'er... Well, it's cheesy. Xu Zhu, these two words are very good. ”
"Well, Xu Zhu... Pretty good. Girls should be knowledgeable and courteous, virtuous and humble..."Mother Xu tasted the pronunciation of the words, and muttered her ideal daughter in her mouth.
"Hehe, isn't our Luo Niangniang just knowledgeable and virtuous? You're boasting! Haha..."Facing Xu's father's teasing, Xu's mother rolled her eyes.
"Let's call Xu Zhuxian! The sound is also very good, and the meaning is also good. How about husband, not bad, right? Mother Xu said excitedly, and then gently pressed her daughter's pink cheek with her index finger.
"Seo Joo-hyun, Seo Hyun-joo... Well, it's really good, just listen to the mother. Dad Xu still didn't forget to joke, grinning at Mama Xu in the rearview mirror.
"Hey, there's no seriousness, and there's no seriousness in front of the child. Why does the army let you bring soldiers with confidence? Mother Xu glanced at her husband with a smile and teased.
Dad Xu sat up straight, stretched out his free right hand, saluted Mother Xu in the rearview mirror with a standard military salute, and said loudly: "NEI, Chief Luo!" aigeisimida (respectfully reprimanded).loyal ~ sincere! After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
But Xu Canhao was shocked gorgeously, staring at his little sister without blinking. 'No, that's! Will my sister be a future girlhood? Seo Joo-hyun!? It seems that Xu Xian doesn't have a brother? But what is impossible if I can be born again? My mother was the principal of the piano school, not yet, but it was about the same. His father was a soldier...... Hiss~~ It's such an honor, happiness came too suddenly! If I let Xiaoyi know...'
Thinking of his sister in the previous life, Xu Canhao sighed in his heart. Turning his head to look at the speeding scenery outside the window, the excitement retreated for a while, replaced by heavy thoughts.
After nearly nine hours of driving, although most of the time was slept, Xu Canhao still felt very tired, not to mention Xu's father, who had been driving. When they entered the Seoul precinct, it was already 6 p.m. Knowing that he was about to arrive at his destination, Xu Canhao couldn't help but want to see the style of the South Korean capital, jumped to the passenger cab with his head outward, and looked around curiously like a baby.
Dad Xu smiled silently and glanced at this son who he loved and loved, "It's a child after all!" Although sometimes they do things and think about problems far beyond their peers. Dad Xu thought of his son who had changed a lot over the past few years, which made him have mixed feelings. There is confusion, there is relief, and there is a lot of pride.
"Chan Hao, do you see that over there? A little further on, you will turn a corner and you will enter the city of Seoul. On our left is Anyangcheon Sports Park, and not far in front of us is Ogi Bridge. When you get there, it's not far from Yeongdeungpo Yangpyeong-dong, your uncle's house, remember to be polite when you get there. Oh, remember Aunt Jihyo? She is also about to give birth to a baby, and our family Zhuxian will have a companion at that time. Dad Xu drove the car and glanced at Xiao Chanhao lying on the window from time to time, while introducing him to the landmark buildings on the side of the road and explaining the characteristics of Seoul.
Xu Chanhao leaned on the car window, looking at the low-rise houses and shops with Korean characteristics that could only be seen in movies on the side of the road, some caravans that started to do business, pedestrians hurrying by, and students stranded outside after school gathered around some small stalls to make trouble. Although it can also be seen in the whole state, his mentality and mood have changed at the moment, which makes him very relaxed, like the mood of a wanderer who has been away from home for a long time when he returns home, with anticipation and a little anxiety. Hearing Dad Xu's words, he just nodded, indicating that he heard it.
Xu's father was also very helpless, knowing that his son had an indescribable sense of distance from him, and he was not deliberately alienated. It's not as natural as getting along with Mother Xu, which makes him feel very confused, but he doesn't know where to start, how to improve the relationship, coupled with the unique reserve of men, in desperation, he let go of nature.
It didn't take long for the car to enter Yangpyeong-dong, and the streets on both sides gradually became dominated by residential houses or apartment buildings. Father Xu woke up the sleeping Mother Xu, and Xiao Zhu Xianji sat in the nursery bag fixed on the seat, with a pacifier in her mouth, looking around curiously.
"Bingzhen, call Zhixiao and their house and say that we have arrived." Dad Xu said as he turned the car into the path and drove slowly along the gentle slope.
After a few more turns, I saw a man and a woman standing at the intersection, and the man was standing outside with his arm around the pregnant woman's shoulders and waving to this side. The car slowed down and stopped in front of the two, and Xu's father rolled down the window. The man lowered his head and called out with a smile, but was interrupted by Dad Xu, "Don't stand on the side of the road and talk, Zhixiao still has a big belly, what are you doing when you come out, just wait at the door." Dad Xu said to the man with a little dissatisfaction.
"No, it's not far away! Brother, we haven't seen each other for two years, so I'm impatient to hear that you're moving to Seoul! "The man is Xu Canhao's uncle, Xu Bingyuan. is a small technician of Samsung, went to the United States to study, met Jiang Zhixiao of the same school in the United States, the two fell in love with each other, and got married not long after graduating and returning to China. But Xiao Canhao's Aunt Zhixiao is studying music, and she has a common hobby with Xu's mother, and the two also get along very well, like sisters.
At this time, Jiang Zhixiao also poked his head out to greet him: "Sister, why are you in such a hurry, Xiao Pearl must be tired on such a small road." Yo, we Chanhao have grown into little handsome guys! She first greeted Xu Mu in the back seat, and then looked at Xu Canhao in the co-pilot and teased him with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Bingyuan quickly help his younger brother and sister in, this is not the place to talk." Without waiting for Xu's mother to talk to Xiao Canhao, Xu's father started the car, afraid that it would affect the surrounding traffic.
"Ah, exhausted! Brother, why did you move so many things, so far away? Anyway, I'm going to live in a new home, so I'm going to replace it here. Ay... This piano is really heavy. Xu Bingyuan sat on the stone in the courtyard and complained.
"Ah, yema! Are you rich? I don't know how hard it is to be a kid. I have two children, two children! Xu's father settled the wages of the movers while turning back and reprimanding his younger brother.
"Huh... ALA (Got it/impatient tone.) Intimate people often save words with each other. ~ It's getting more and more like an old man..."Uncle Xu patted the dust on his body and complained in a low voice.
"Yikes! Boy, are you looking for practice!? Hearing his whispered muttering, Dad Xu sent the workers away, turned around and raised his hand to teach his younger brother a lesson.
"Brother, brother! I'm a white-collar worker in an office, white-collar worker! How can I resist the ravages of you, a soldier! I went to my sister-in-law anyway. Seeing that his brother was about to make a move, Xu Bingyuan quickly stood up and ran out of the door.
Xu Canhao sat under the eaves and looked at the two good brothers who were both fathers with amusement. "Anyway, this house is really good." The detached courtyard is a small villa of millions in China. Although the house is a little smaller than the home in Jeonju, this is the Seoul where every inch of land will be expensive in the future! The coolest thing is that there is a small balcony in my room on the second floor, which is the configuration I dreamed of before! ’
Xu's father chased to the door and looked at Xu Bingyuan who fled with a cigarette in a smile. Turning back to Xiao Chanhao, he beckoned, "Chanhao is gone, go to your uncle's house, and the meal should be ready." ”
"Here we go." Xu Canhao patted his ass and trotted out, and followed Xu's father to the uncle's house next door, which was only one alley away.
At this point, Xu Chanhao's family can be regarded as settled in Seoul. Next, Xu's father went to work in a foreign-funded logistics company through his former comrades-in-arms. Xu's mother went to Yigao to report that the school specially assigned her an assistant for the sake of the child, so that Xu's mother had more time to take care of Xiao Zhuxian (Jiang Zhixiao is a pregnant woman after all, so it is not appropriate to do too many things). And our little Canhao will also enter the affiliated junior high school of Shouyu Art High School, which is his own request. Originally, Xu's parents hoped that he would study in a key professional school and have a better learning environment, so that he could have more choices and study in a good university. But Xu Canhao has long made up his mind to go to the United States to realize his college dream: because there are world-class universities; Because it is the world's popular vane; Because there are various atmospheres of freedom, relaxation and richness; Because I want to see American music and film production in an immersive way, and so on. He couldn't wait to finish his junior high school classes and learn music theory and various musical instruments. In this life, he always maintained a high enthusiasm for learning, and frantically absorbed all kinds of knowledge to make up for and comfort his past mistakes and regrets.
