Volume 1 Chapter 21
The two ate some desserts, and Vivian asked, "By the way, Xiao Sushi, what sports activities do you like to participate in and do you have any hobbies?" ”
Wen Jin helped her glasses, shook her head and said, "No." I haven't played any sports, and if I had a hobby, I would draw, but I just like it, and I just have fun drawing. ”
Vivian said: "Our school has a policy that everyone has to participate in a physical activity every afternoon unless there are special circumstances, and it is credited. Is there anything in your mind that you would like to play sports in? ”
"No, I don't know anything about sports, sister, what did you participate in?" Wen Jin asked.
"I'm in an equestrian event. When I was a child, I grew up in my grandmother's house in Inner Mongolia, and I started riding horses when I was six or seven years old. Vivien said.
Wen Jin looked at Vivian with a look of adoration and said, "Wow, you're so good!" Can someone like me who has no foundation participate? ”
Vivian looked at the thin Wen Jin and said, "Well, in our school's girls' sports, volleyball, basketball and other things are very popular, and there are not many people participating in equestrian events, so it may be easier to take the test." However, you are too thin and small, and you may need to put in a little more effort than others to practice equestrianism. The project sounds fun, but it's actually quite hard, not only do you have to be trained in archery, hurdles, etc., but you also have to be responsible for cleaning the horses and cleaning the stables. ”
Wen Jin smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of this. Anyway, everything is starting from scratch for me, and no matter how I learn equestrianism, I can ask my sister for advice, just like when I applied for high school. ”
Vivian looked at Wen Jin with a slightly questioning look and said, "I'm just worried, you, a little girl from the imperial capital, have been pampered since childhood, and you will cry when the time comes." ”
Wen Jin pursed her lips and said, "People are not so squeamish." ”
Vivien said, "Well, did you really decide to learn horsemanship?"
Wen Jin smiled happily and said, "Of course! It was so happily decided. ”
"I have a pair of breeches, a pair of riding boots and a helmet, that was my first set of equipment, it was very expensive when I bought it, I didn't expect that as soon as I came to the United States, I jumped almost 5 centimeters, and my weight increased by nearly 10 pounds, I couldn't wear that equipment without using it twice, it was ninety percent new, it was a pity to put it there, if you don't dislike it, I'll give it to you." Vivien said.
"How can you dislike it, then I'm not welcome."
"Little Sushi, do you have any expertise in musical instruments and vocal music? You know, our school often holds musical Friday performances on Saturdays, especially at the beginning of each year, and almost every freshman will be pulled to participate. ”
Wen Jin said with an embarrassed expression: "I really won't know this." I don't have all five tones. ”
Vivien said, "Our school classmates are very good, and they can play two or three musical instruments at every turn. ”
Wen Jin said helplessly: "It seems that I can only be an audience." Sister, do you know how to play a musical instrument? ”
Vivian said proudly: "Of course, my sister will pull the erhu." ”
Wen Jin said enviously: "My sister is really a well-deserved god, she studies so well, she can do everything in sports and music......"
Vivian suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else, I will only play one piece of "Horse Racing" in Erhu......"
Wen Jin's eyes and mouth widened at the same time in surprise.
Vivien added: "However, I have practiced this piece quite well, since I went abroad for exchanges in the fourth grade of primary school, until now, I have played this piece everywhere. I performed four times in our school alone. ”
Wen Jin asked puzzledly: "Is it exactly the same every time?" ”
Vivian covered her mouth and smiled: "That can't be, you see, I've played solo once, once with Senior David on the piano, once with the chamber orchestra, and once with Oliver's Xun." All four performances were particularly successful, with almost all of them receiving a standing ovation at the end of each performance. ”
Wen Jin clapped her hands and smiled, and said, "Sister, it's still up to you, admire." ”
Vivian: "Yes, who knows how hard my sister was when she first practiced, my mother listened to me practice for half a year, and she directly had a nervous breakdown." ”
Wen Jin couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud.
Vivien said solemnly: "Sister is not joking, this is all true. My sister also finished learning this song, and vowed never to learn erhu again, but I didn't expect that when I went to high school, the only song that my sister could show her hand was so powerful, and it came in handy many times. ”
The two of them chatted like this, and they didn't realize that the meal had been eaten for more than an hour.
On the way back to the dormitory after eating, Wen Jin said to Vivian with a sad face: "Sister, I always feel that I may not have a good relationship with my new roommate. ”
Vivien said, "Don't think so......" she said, pointing to her head and saying, "Americans are not that complicated here, just be honest." ”
"My roommate is Surinamese from South America and I feel like she's a bit ...... How so? It's the ...... of command."
Vivian said disapprerovingly: "Little Sushi, you remember what my sister said, in school, no matter who you are, as long as you are neither humble nor arrogant, if your roommate has bullied her classmates, you can report to the teacher, our school has an anti-bully system, she will pay for her actions." ”
Wen Jin pursed her small mouth and said, "She didn't bully me, she just felt that her attitude was a little arrogant......"
Vivian smiled and said: "The students who can come to our school feel that they are the smartest people in the world, they are all narcissistic in their bones, and they are so arrogant, don't pay attention to them, just put your mind at ease." ”
