Hearing Emma's mention, John suddenly had a headache.

Although Miss Philip played the piano very well, John had no talent for it at all, and after half a year of study, he had only just learned the keys, and then stumbled to play some of the simplest scores.

Isn't it a shame to dedicate song one?

Looking at Emma's big eyes full of cramped looks, John couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, eager to take a large piece of bread and plug her little mouth immediately.

This girl definitely did it on purpose!

However, the others were quite interested in this mentions, and Funk even laughed and said, "That's right, John, let's play a tune...... Hmm, you've only been learning for half a year, but you should know how to make simple tunes, right? ”

John was speechless.

It seems that whether it is more than 100 years later or now, watching friends make a fool of themselves is one of the bad tastes of many people, especially in this kind of family gathering-like setting, where everyone has a closer relationship and fewer scruples.

"John."

At this moment, the voice of old Huntelaar floated from afar: "Go play one, it will be my third birthday gift." ”

"Uh...... Good. ”

With his grandfather's words, John had no way to escape, so he had to walk to the piano.

"Having money isn't necessarily a good thing."

After sitting down on the piano, John sighed helplessly. The elder Huntlaar had never studied the piano, and certainly did not go back to play, but the piano had been in existence before John came to New York, and had been buying it for several years. So he couldn't think clearly, since no one in the family would buy it, what would he do?

Now he finally understands that this thing is for this kind of party!

Under the smiling gaze of the others, John's brain spun rapidly. Although everyone knows that he has only studied for half a year, it is certain that he will be embarrassed if he plays too badly. So just now, John made a plan, playing the simplest, at least not easy to make mistakes!

So, what could be simpler and more appropriate than that song?

Thinking of this, John didn't hesitate any longer, lowered his head and found the right position on the keyboard, and pressed his fingers a little stiffly.

"Huh? What kind of tune is this? ”

Hearing John's piano music, Emma's face suddenly showed a blank look. She had been practicing since she was five years old, but she had never heard what John was playing.

And......

"That's too easy, isn't it?"

Joshua also blinked, and couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone could tell, and in just a dozen seconds, John had already begun to repeat the tune a second time. Is this just the length of this piano piece, and then it repeats itself over and over again?

Still, it's pretty good.

Just when everyone was wondering if John was playing nonsense, the kid had already begun to repeat it for the third time, but this time when the music had just started, his slightly sharp voice also sounded: "happybirthdaytoyou, happybirthdaytoyou......"

……

At the end of the song, people are scattered.

After celebrating the sixty-third birthday of the elder Huntelaar, the guests left in a row.

The last to leave was the Stones, but before leaving, Emma ran to John's side, tilted her head to look at him, and then pouted for a moment and asked, "John, did you really write the happy birthday song yourself?" ”

"Hmm."

With a sigh in his heart, John answered vaguely. Before singing it, he really didn't expect that this song had not appeared yet, at least no one had heard it in this part of New York.

Pouted, although a little unconvinced, Emma still nodded and said, "Although it's simple, the tone is still quite good...... Can you give me a sheet of music? ”

"Nope!"

John immediately shook his head, he hadn't even learned how to write a score, how could there be such a thing?

But seeing that Emma seemed to have the intention of not giving up, John hurriedly smiled and said: "You can go back and do the score yourself, anyway, it is just four sentences that come and go, it is very simple." ”

After thinking about it for a moment, Emma nodded and said no more.

This happy birthday song is really simple, so simple that anyone who has learned a little music can restore it, and Emma certainly has this confidence......

……

After finally seeing Emma's family away, John finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

But when he looked back and saw old Huntelaar sitting on the sand waiting for him with a stern face, John's head hurt a little again. But he immediately walked over and sat down beside his grandfather.

"I love all of today's gifts."

After John sat down, old Huntelaar said lightly: "Especially that song, it's very interesting." In addition, your knife is designed to be so clever that it can be produced by the factory, and as for razors......"

"Isn't it practical?"

Seeing that old Huntelaar was silent, John asked a little strangely. It stands to reason that this kind of artificial shaver should be the mainstream of later generations before the emergence of electric shavers, why is everyone's reaction so bland?

Shaking his head, old Huntelaar smiled slightly: "Although it is very convenient, but nowadays, everyone shaving is generally helped by others, and few people will buy something to do at home." ”

"Uh......"

Grandpa's reason was very tactful, but John was still a little speechless after hearing it.

"But you can try to produce it."

Afraid that John would be disappointed by this, old Huntelaar added unhurriedly.

Nodding, John didn't insist on anything. For razors, he only knew that the later generations were Gillette, and finally developed into a behemoth, but after all, anything can be born in more than a hundred years, and how long is the patent valid? It was just a gift for my grandfather's birthday.

After saying all these things today, John was also a little tired, and just wanted to get up and talk to his grandfather to go upstairs, old Huntelaar suddenly spoke again: "John, about Miss Philip...... I've decided to terminate her employment contract. ”

"Why?"

John was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Is it because of her leave?" Can I explain this to you......"

"It's not a matter of taking time off."

Waving his hand, old Huntelaar interrupted John's words and said lightly.

"That ......"

John was puzzled and stared at his grandfather's eyes. He was still very satisfied with Miss Philip, and it would take time to get used to other people, so she didn't want to replace the governess lightly.

However, old Huntelaar did not feel any pressure because of his grandson's gaze, and said in a deep voice with an unchanged face: "I was originally quite satisfied with this Miss Philip, although her past behavior was somewhat inappropriate...... But being a tutor is still qualified. It's just that now her situation has changed, so she is no longer suitable to be your tutor. ”

"What's changed?"

John's question blurted out, and he immediately frowned again, and then asked, "Did you send someone to investigate her?" ”

"Of course!"

Old Huntelaar gave John a strange look and frowned, "Do you think I'll let someone be your tutor at random?" All four were rigorously screened. ”

"But what happened to her?"

John, of course, was not going to give up, and he asked in hot pursuit.

"Alright, that's it."

At this time, old Huntelaar's arbitrary style once again came into play, he stood up, and said with a calm face: "Starting next month, you will have a new tutor, and you can arrange the afternoon of this time at will......

After saying that, old Huntelaar went upstairs.

John sat quietly on the sand, his brow furrowed with eyes that could not be calmed.

He didn't care about the hundred dollars he had given to Miss Philip, but he felt very uncomfortable with the whole thing. Because he had seen the situation with his own eyes that day, and it was certain that there must have been some serious change in Miss Philip's family, and he was in need of financial support, but the old Huntelaar fired him at this time!

John couldn't accept that.

He is not a saint, but he is not a cold-blooded animal, and after half a year of getting along with Miss Philip, he will have some feelings, not to mention that he still likes this governess quite a lot?

"No, we have to figure out what's going on."

With a flickering gaze, John secretly made up his mind, got up and walked upstairs......
