60. Learn a musical instrument
The three of them walked quickly towards the school, and Shang Jing wanted to open her mouth several times, but was stopped by Shen Mengxi pulling her clothes.
The board newspaper on the back wall of the class, this week it was Shen Mengxi's turn to run the newspaper in the group, Shen Mengxi and Shang Jing wrote, Ge Yanling painted, they copied a student essay on the "Composition Guide for Primary School Students", and copied an ancient poem, a modern poem, and worked for more than two hours, and finally completed it.
Shen Mengxi took out three pieces of candy, one for each person, Shang Jing took it with a big grin, and immediately peeled off the candy paper and ate it, "Butter balls, I like butter balls!" ”
Ge Yanling didn't want it, Shen Mengxi heard her stomach gurgling, and she shook it when she got off the chair just now, maybe she didn't even eat lunch. "Eat, your mother sent sweets to my family, and plums, I ate them all, why don't you eat mine."
Ge Yanling took it and ate it.
When he returned home, Shen Mengxi talked to Lu Xiuzhi about it, and Lu Xiuzhi glanced at the direction of the Ge family, "This old Mrs. Ge, it's amazing, you won't go to their house in the future." ”
"More powerful than Qin Meiru's grandmother?"
"Hmm. It's not good stubble. Lu Xiuzhi put down the sweater needle in his hand and reached out to dust Shen Mengxi's collar, "But I know that you have done a board report, and everywhere is chalk end." ”
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Shen Mengxi took the basin and poured hot water, and washed his face with cold water.
On the way to school the next day, Shang Jing was waiting for her at the intersection and beckoned mysteriously, "Did you hear what Ge Yanling's grandmother said yesterday?" ”
"What?"
"That's to say, it's sweet for you to drink! Why don't you let me ask! As soon as we leave, she will definitely scold Tiantian, and maybe she will have to beat her. My mother said that her grandmother was powerful when she was young, who wants to offend her, she can jump high and scold on the kang of others, and scold her for a day without beating Ben'er, my mother said that she dares to say dirty words that the old man dare not say, and she can kill people. Also, her father died early, her father was a thief and filial piety, what her grandmother said, she has an egg at home, it must be her milk to eat, and Tian Tian can't eat it. Her grandmother said that the children's happiness is behind them! Her grandmother is always holding eggs, water, milk powder or something, and goes to Qin Yingdi's house to show off, Qin Yingdi's family is poor, she can't afford to drink milk, and when she is done, she scolds Qin Yingdi and her mother, and their family fights every day. ”
"Oh,"
Shang Jing looked back and whispered, "My mother said that she could play with Ge Yanling, but she didn't allow me to go to their house, saying that she couldn't afford to mess with that old lady." ”
"My mom said the same."
"Look, I'm right!"
"Ge Yanling, hasn't her mother been working?" Shen Mengxi remembered Ge Yanling's mother's washed white clothes.
"Nope. Ay? I figured it out! My mother also has no job, no money, when my mother was alive, she bullied my mother all day long, saying that my mother eats idle food, but my mother does a lot of work a day, gets up early to cook, wash clothes, feed chickens and pigs, clean up the house and serve the vegetable garden, until it gets dark, she can't rest, she also said that my mother eats idle food! My aunt has a job, and she doesn't care about any work at home every day, she eats when she enters the house, and my grandmother is still afraid of her! Hum! In the future, I will say that I have to find a good job! See who dares to bully me! Qi Baozhu, you have to find a good job too! Shang Jing seems to have discovered a huge secret.
"Okay."
"No, I don't think it's weird, I'm two years older than you, why don't you seem to be two years older than me!"
"No, it's just that you're older than me!" Shen Mengxi smiled.
"Hehe, no matter! Let's go! You're not as fast as I am! Shang Jing threw the schoolbag back to her buttocks, ran first, the stationery box made a croaking sound, and ran for more than ten meters, only to find that Shen Mengxi had not caught up, and stood discouraged, "Qi Baozhu!" Hurry up! ”
Qi Jianjian came from behind, rang the car bell twice, one long leg, and stopped beside Shen Mengxi, Shen Mengxi skillfully stepped on the pedal and climbed onto the girder, and shook his head at Shang Jing, "Get in the car!" ”
"Hey!" Shang Jing happily jumped into the back seat of the car and chattered all the way.
"Qi Baozhu, your eldest brother is so good, my eldest brother never sends me, and my second brother doesn't give me ......"
Shen Mengxi said to Qi Health: "Big brother, I don't think she really should be called Shang Jing!" ”
"Oh? What's that called? Qi asked cooperatively.
"It should be, it's called Shang Nao!"
"Hahaha!" Qi Health burst out laughing.
"Qi Baozhu!" Shang Jing shouted protestously in the back: "I'm not going to be okay with you!" ”
******
Mr. Zhang, the head teacher, is 47 years old this year, and has been teaching in Jiayang for 26 years since he came from Shanghai.
At that time, there were two educated youths who came to Jiayang together, one was the female teacher who instructed Qi Baoan to skate, she was a Chinese teacher in No. 2 Middle School, and the other returned to Jiangsu a few years ago.
Mr. Zhang is a versatile person, with a good voice, can read music, can play the flute, can play the pipa, play the accordion, etc., Shen Mengxi heard Wang Hongmei mention that he often makes cameos in the band of the cultural center, and sometimes pulls Jinghu to accompany others.
Teacher Zhang listened to Shen Mengxi's "My Motherland and Me", so he suggested that she go to the Children's Palace Activity Center, where he served as a teacher in the Youth Choir and the Small Orchestra, so that he could teach her vocal music knowledge and musical instruments.
Shen Mengxi looked at the teacher's Yin Yin gaze, nodded and said, "I'll go home and ask my mother." ”
"Yes, yes, I should have told your mother first."
Shen Mengxi is not very interested in musical instruments and choirs, and she recently wants to learn to do carpentry work with her fourth uncle.
Before I could think about it or not, Lu Xiuzhi talked about it first after work, "I met you Teacher Zhang after work, you can learn a flute, that thing is easy to take, and it is also light to give your grandfather a show during the New Year, look at your second sister-in-law, the accordion is dead and heavy!" ”
Shen Mengxi said: "I practice every day, and I delay studying. ”
"What is the delay? I see that you finish your homework every day, no, just look at the messy books in the library, it is better to learn a musical instrument, you see your second sister-in-law, how decent you play the accordion! Lu Xiuzhi's voice was an octave higher.
"Then let's learn an instrument, the choir won't go." Shen Mengxi thinks that it is good to learn musical instruments, and he will be famous for playing musical instruments in the future.
"Anyway, it's okay on Sunday, you sing very well, let's learn a bunch of them! Your teacher Zhang said that you don't want money. ”
Shen Mengxi and Lu Xiuzhi looked at each other and refused to compromise.
"Okay, okay, I can't take care of it!" Lu Xiuzhi waved her hand in discouragement, "Let's learn the flute, it was recommended by your teacher Zhang." ”
"Does Jiayang sell flutes?"
"yes!" Lu Xiuzhi realized that Qi Youheng said, "What's the matter? Why don't you write a letter to the second child and ask him to bring one back on vacation? How much does it cost? Buy a cheap one first. ”
"Teacher Zhang, fortunately, I didn't recommend your girl to learn piano!" Qi Youheng said.
"I'll buy the piano too! I can't afford it this year, I save up and buy it next year! Teacher Zhang said that Zhuzhu's age is the time to learn music, and she still wants her to learn pipa! I thought about learning that thing like it used to be a singer, so I didn't agree. Oh, it seems that the whole Jiayang can play it alone, and you may not be able to find it when you go to Yishi! ”
Shen Mengxi was in a cold sweat when he heard it, and he was talking about singing.
"Okay, okay, listen to you." Qi Youheng said to Shen Mengxi: "Your mother said to learn and learn, Yiduo is not pressing, if you feel tired, we won't study!" ”
Shen Mengxi could say anything besides nodding.
The Children's Palace Activity Center is located upstairs from the Chengnan Cultural Center. On Sunday, Shen Mengxi carried a small satchel to the cultural center, and in a hall of more than 100 square meters on the first floor, many people were dancing ballroom dances, and the volume of the tape recorder was turned on loudly, which was deafening.
A group of choir students who had just finished class came down from upstairs, Shen Mengxi stood by the stairs and waited for them to walk, Qi Weiming was also in the crowd, saw Shen Mengxi laughing, and went into the dance hall, Shen Mengxi called him, "Qi Weiming!" ”
He shook his head, "I'll go to my mother." ”
Shen Mengxi looked inside, and really saw Wang Hongmei playing the accordion.
