Chapter XXVI Recommendations
The next morning, Peggy's parents took Link and Peggy to the Museum of Natural Science, and on the way, Linda said to Link, "I'm glad you came along." ”
"Peggy mentioned it to me yesterday, and I'm interested in the presentation."
"Very well, your hobbies are the same as Peggy's, I'm very happy, how are you feeling at your new school."
"Very good, the teachers there are very nice, and the students are all of that, well, some of the smarter students, so it will be easier for me to find common ground there, and I actually think Peggy might be able to go to school there as well."
"That's good advice, but Dallas is a little bit further away and Peggy is a little younger, so I'm not sure she'll be able to adapt to boarding life."
When he arrived at the lecture hall of the museum, Link saw a familiar person in the front row at a glance, it was Sheldon.
Peggy also quickly recognized the other party, and immediately said, "It should be Sheldon, let's go say hello to him." ”
Saying that, Peggy walked up to Sheldon and said, "Sheldon, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's nice to see you, are you happy to see me?" ”
"I'm not that happy, but I'm happy to see Link again, Link, how did you meet Peggy?"
"I've told you about her before, she's my neighbor, and we often discuss some issues together, and of course most of the time, she's talking and I'm listening."
"Oh, I can imagine it."
The two of them sat down next to Sheldon, and Peggy whispered in Link's ear, "He's still like this, when I went to his house that day, he was so angry that he overturned the chessboard because he won him in a game of chess." ”
"Really? To be honest, I've never seen him lose a game of chess, so it must be interesting. ”
"It's really interesting, where you really should have been."
Although he saw it on TV in his previous life, Link now also wants to see Sheldon's expression with his own eyes, and it is indeed a pity to miss it.
But Sheldon clearly didn't like to hear that: "Sorry, I can hear what you guys say. ”
"Okay!" Link gave Peggy a look, neither of them continued the topic, and Link said to Peggy at this time, "Peggy, can you wait here for a while?" I have a little thing. ”
"What's the matter, the speech is about to start."
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Coming to the door of the lecture hall, Link saw Linda waiting there, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Thank you for waiting for Aunt Linda here." ”
"Nothing, so what the hell is the matter with you asking me to wait here just now?"
"Hmm...... Can we talk while we go? ”
"Of course there is no problem."
There weren't many people in the museum, and when he came to an exhibition hall where no one was around, Link said, "Actually, I heard Peggy tell me yesterday that you and Mr. Barry seem to have some conflicts, and many of them are because of her. ”
"Oh, Link, thank you for your concern, but you know, it's a private matter between me and Barry."
"I know it's a bit abrupt, and it's not something that an outsider like me should intervene in, after all, I'm an outsider.
But what I want to say is that every time you fight, it hurts Peggy, especially if Peggy thinks that she is the cause of the conflict. ”
"You're right, I know, I'm sad too, but kid, sometimes things aren't as simple as you think......"
"I understand, I know you and Mr. Barry have a lot to work out, so I thought you might consider my proposal for the morning."
"What proposal?"
"Send Peggy to study at Wilmot Gifted Academy, which is a great place for a bright kid like Peggy, where she will learn more and meet great friends.
And I've heard Mr. Barry say that he wants to relive those good times with you, too, but you care too much about Peggy.
So if Peggy comes to Dwilmot Gifted Academy, then you might as well have time to try to repair your relationship while Peggy is at school. ”
"Well, I'll probably think about it."
"Thank you, Aunt Linda, then I'll go back first, Peggy is still waiting over there."
"Okay Link, anyway, thank you for your concern."
"As long as you don't think I'm nosy."
"Of course not."
Link didn't continue to say more, in fact, he knew that there was only this thing he could do, as for whether he said that these would help save Linda and Barry's marriage, Link was not very optimistic, from Linda's attitude just now, Link could see that she didn't take her words to heart.
In Link's mind, it would definitely be a good idea to let Peggy come to Wilmot Genius Academy and stop watching them fight every day because of the two of them, but it was not something he could control.
……
Regardless of whether Linda followed Link's advice or not, life had to go on, and before she knew it, two months had passed in the new school and the summer vacation had begun.
Summer vacations in the United States are usually very long, and many schools like to organize some activities for students in the summer, just like this summer, Link's new symphony orchestra has a half-month camping activity.
Texas is home to a thriving agriculture that camps on a sizable ranch, not just for students at Wilmot Gifted Academy, but also for the symphony orchestras of four other private schools nearby.
The theme of this camping is actually a competition between students from a total of five school symphony orchestras.
Even in the finals, professors from the Conservatory of Music will come to inspect the graduating class of the symphony orchestra and the members who are interested in attending the Conservatory.
Of course, Link is just a newcomer, he has not touched any musical instrument before, and he started to learn violin at the recommendation of his new classmate Elise, and joined the symphony orchestra as a new member on the recommendation of Elise.
This is also the first time Link has participated in a similar event, and on the bus to his destination, Elise who sat next to Link said:
"It seems that I was not wrong to recommend you to learn the violin, but in two months, you have already learned the violin."
With a strong body control, coupled with the ability to learn, and a willingness to work hard, getting started with the violin is not too difficult for Link.
The reason why Link became interested in music is mainly because it can improve the charm and perceptual attributes, especially the perceptual attributes, Link has not found a good way to improve before, and learning music can improve his perception, which brings Link a more acute five senses than before, so Link is quite interested in this aspect.
"Thank you, but when it comes to music, I know a friend who has a very high level of sensitivity to his voice, and he can be said to have an absolute sense of tone."
"Is it Peggy, the neighbor's girl you told you about earlier?"
"No, Peggy's intelligence is beyond the ordinary, but her sense of voice is still within the range of ordinary people, I'm talking about a friend I met in high school before, Sheldon.
He is also a super genius, he is only ten years old this year, he started high school last year, and he is far more sensitive to sound than ordinary people, even if you whisper through the door, he can hear clearly.
Once there was a little problem with their refrigerator, which led to an unexpected noise, you know, it was the kind of noise that ordinary people can only feel a little bit when they listen carefully next to the refrigerator.
But he was able to hear it all when he slept in his room, which kept him awake, and finally he found a book himself, and then dismantled all the refrigerators in the house into parts, and finally found the parts that made the noise. ”
"Really? It was indeed quite unexpected, so did he learn any instrument? ”
"Not really."
"Why, he has such a good talent."
"Because he wanted to be a scientist more, and I remember that the music teacher at their school found out that he had such a talent and said that he should be a musician, but he refused outright on the grounds that most musicians would be addicted to laundry detergent."
"It sounds so weird."
"He was a strange kid indeed, he actually came with me to the school interview, and he passed the interview, but he only stayed at Principal Flora's house for one day, and because he couldn't get used to it, he was picked up by his parents."
"Oh, he's only ten years old, and it's normal that he can't leave his parents."
"In fact, because there was a ceiling fan in the room, he was always worried that the ceiling fan would fall and cut off his head."
“…… This is strange enough. ”
"Okay, let's talk about something else, I heard you wrote a song?"
"yes, I was going to play it at the party that day......"
"I'm so sorry I really had important things to attend to that day."
"I know."
"I don't know if I'll have a chance to appreciate it again after a while, otherwise I'll feel like I've missed 100 million."
"Haha, okay, it's just a song."
"No, I've been looking forward to your performance......"
