Chapter Twenty-Five: The Lost Piano
Li Xin hurriedly opened the door, made a gesture of invitation to Lin Chu and them, and said, "Come in and sit, the house is relatively small, don't mind." ”
Seeing his simple appearance, Lin Chu suddenly felt a sense of intimacy, and said: "No, no, Brother Li, I am also from the countryside, you don't have to be polite to me, seeing you is like seeing my fellow countryman." ”
Li Xin smiled, beckoned the two into the living room, and said, "You guys sit down, I'll pour you tea." ”
Lin Chu was embarrassed to trouble him, so he said, "No need Brother Li, let's sit and leave." ”
Li Xin vetoed: "That's not good, if you come, you are a guest, and the way of hospitality must be done." ”
Lin Chu was helpless, so he had to smile and express his gratitude: "Okay, thank you, Brother Li." ”
Li Xin poured hot water on the tea leaves, and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome, the journey is bumpy, you must be tired, rest more before leaving." ”
"It's not very far, take the car along the way to enjoy the scenery, and time flies." Lin Chu replied.
When Li Xin was pouring tea, Lin Chuan leaned over to Fu Tianyang's side and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Fu, this Brother Li is a warm-hearted and good person, it seems that my guess just now is correct." ”
Fu Tianyang's tone was calm: "Indeed, people are indeed very enthusiastic. ”
Lin Chu thought that Fu Tianyang's body was more expensive than her, and immediately said: "Mr. Fu, after getting out of the car, you have been accompanying me to understand the situation of the villagers, you can rest for a while." ”
Fu Tianyang smiled and said disappretently: "I've rested in the car, are you okay, I see that your face is a little pale." ”
Lin Chu said the truth in embarrassment: "I had some motion sickness, and I only remembered it after I got in the car, but I didn't bother to get out of the car to buy medicine, so I could only make myself feel better by looking at the scenery." ”
Hearing this, Fu Tianyang was stunned and said seriously: "If you get motion sickness, it's best not to look at the scenery coming and going on both sides, it will be easier to cause discomfort, and closing your eyes is the best solution." ”
Lin Chu shrugged his head and said with some grievances: "I understand, no wonder everyone says that people with motion sickness sit in the co-pilot, it turns out that they focus on the front, which will reduce the discomfort caused by motion sickness." ”
"You just know that your little head looks shrewd, and you can make such a sloppy mistake." Fu Tianyang was very dissatisfied with her foolish behavior, as a woman, she didn't know that she felt sorry for herself.
Lin Chu pursed his lips and muttered, "It's not like no one has ever told me, if you tell me the reason, I won't know." ”
Then Fu Tianyang said a few more words to her, and suddenly saw a big object by the wall, and said to her: "Lin Chu, do you look over there?" ”
Lin Chu looked at him and said in surprise, "Huh? He even has a piano at home. ”
Fu Tianyang stood up, walked past the piano, and after seeing the sign on it, he said: "The price of this piano is not cheap, it is an international brand." ”
Lin Chu also felt puzzled and said, "I'll ask Brother Li." ”
In Lin Chu's inquiry, Li Xin explained that his father's friend dragged him to take care of the piano because he was out on errands, but his father's friend never returned, and Li Xin did not know how to contact his father's friends or family, but he was unwilling to listen to the villagers' persuasion to sell the piano to improve his life.
Fu Tianyang asked, "Do you know the name or number of your father's friend, that is, the owner of this piano?" ”
Li Xin said distressedly: "My father died because of illness, although I tried to find a way to seek the contact information of the owner of this piano, but in vain, over time, it has been shelved here, no one here will use it, only know that this thing is expensive, although they persuaded me to sell him, but it is not my thing after all, I have no right to exchange it for money, for my own selfishness and conscience of things, I Li Xin can't do it." ”
Fu Tianyang said: "Your behavior is correct, if the master comes to you again, and you sell the piano, this is illegal." ”
After getting Fu Tianyang's approval, Li Xin smirked and said: "Although I haven't read any books and have no culture, I dare not forget the basic ideology and morality of being a human being, otherwise how can I be worthy of those great men who have done their best for the prosperity of the country." ”
Fu Tianyang once again expressed his appreciation: "What you said is right, if our country has more people like you who keep in mind the traditional Chinese virtues, it will definitely become more democratic, prosperous and powerful." ”
"I'm embarrassed to praise me, sir, I haven't actually made any contribution." Li Xin was thin-skinned, and when he heard the praise of a noble person like Fu Tianyang, his face blushed to the root of his ears.
Fu Tianyang said with a smile: "You are wrong, you have such a noble ideological consciousness, and even the spirit that is scarce in many wealthy businessmen and officials in contemporary times, and you have already made the best contribution to the development of the country." ”
Li Xin couldn't help but have an epiphany, and said with emotion: "Hearing you say this, I suddenly feel that I am also a useful person, maybe I was born ordinary, but I am not ordinary." ”
After listening to his words, Lin Chu admired Li Xin's character, and the three of them admired this brand-new piano together.
Lin Chu said to Li Xin with admiration: "Brother Li, I will learn from you, you are indeed extraordinary." ”
"What you said makes me so happy, I have never been so proud as I am today, if I don't dislike it, I will have a meal at noon today, my wife should be picking up the child and coming back, and I will cook her specialty dish for you." Li Xin replied.
Lin Chu immediately said: "Brother Li, we'll leave later, you don't have to work so hard"
Li Xin waved his hand and said happily: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's rare for you to come to our village once, how can you let you go home on an empty stomach, don't be polite to my eldest brother, I'm just a rough person, I don't understand your hospitality in the city, but a meal is inevitable." ”
Lin Chu glanced at Fu Tianyang and said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, you really don't need it." ”
Li Xin also hurriedly threw the question to the silent Fu Tianyang, and said, "Hey, Mr. didn't speak, he must have agreed, don't be polite." ”
Lin Chu's eyes for help looked at Fu Tianyang: "Mr. Fu, you can say a few words." ”
Ignoring Lin Chu's eyes, Fu Tianyang curled the corners of his lips and said, "Since Brother Li is so enthusiastic, then we know to bother." ”
Li Xin happily patted his palms: "Haha, don't bother, don't bother, I'll contact my wife to go out to buy vegetables, you wait here for a while." ”
After Li Xin went out, Lin Chu asked in great puzzlement: "Mr. Fu, I thought you would refuse, why did you agree to stay and eat." ”
Fu Tianyang replied truthfully: "It's Li Xin who is too enthusiastic, hard-working people like him only know how to cook a good meal to entertain guests, this is their greatest intention, if they refuse, it will become their great regret." ”
Lin Chu had no choice but to say: "Okay, Mr. Fu, you agreed, then I definitely don't have any opinion, I'm afraid that you won't be used to the taste of rural food, so I deliberately shirked it." ”
