Chapter Seventy-Three: The First Birthday Banquet
As June 1st gets closer and closer, Shen Chi stays at Yuan San's grandfather's house for longer and longer every day, and after a week of practice, Shen Chi can barely pull down a song "Qianma".
His level naturally can't be compared with a person like Grandpa Yuan San who has been in the heat for twenty or thirty years, but Shen Chi has Shen Chi's methods.
After he became familiar with the fingering and rhythm, he directly memorized the movements of the third grandfather in his mind with his super memory, and modeled out the movements of the third grandfather with his memory when he pulled, but what he lacked was only details, such as the processing of fingering strength and rhythm.
After being guided and corrected by the third grandfather, Shen Chi was gradually able to pull decently.
Of course, the song is limited to this "horse race", if you play other tunes, Shen Chi will have to learn again.
On Thursday of this day, Shen Chi's tune was approved by the third grandfather, saying that he had barely learned this tune, and asked him to go back and practice more.
Shen Chi happily came back from the third grandfather's house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, the smile on his face froze.
He saw his eldest uncle Xiao Mingjin sitting in the courtyard talking to his grandmother.
Seeing him, Shen Chi reluctantly shouted "Uncle", from his words, Shen Chi learned that his cousin Xiao Zhou was going to hold a birthday banquet tomorrow, so he specially came to Shen Chi's house to post a treat.
Shen Chi chuckled in his heart, tomorrow is his cousin's wedding wine, so wouldn't the eldest aunt be the day after tomorrow......
Taking a deep breath, Shen Chi stabilized his fluctuating heart, and secretly swore in his heart that this time no matter what, he must not let the tragedy happen again.
Early the next morning, Shen Chi asked Sun Tao to ask for leave for himself, and he didn't go to school today. Sun Tao responded, and went to school alone with his schoolbag, and Shen Chi waited for his father in the yard.
Shen Changlin changed his clothes, took the gift and pushed his car to break the 28 bars and was about to go to the eldest sister's house in the town, but saw that Shen Chi was still in the courtyard, and it was almost time to go to school.
"Why don't you go to school yet?" Shen Changlin asked in surprise.
"I asked Sun Tao to ask me for leave, I won't go to school today, I want to go to my aunt's house with you." Shen Chi replied.
"Nonsense, what relatives do the children have if they don't go to school, don't go to school quickly!" Shen Changlin reprimanded angrily.
"I know everything that is taught in school, and it's okay not to go for a day." Shen Chi insisted.
Shen Changlin's tone was suffocated, and he really couldn't find a reason to refute what Shen Chi said, so he had to say strongly: "If you understand everything, you don't need to learn?" Get me to school. ”
"If you don't take me, I'll go by myself." Shen Chi said stubbornly.
Shen Changlin's chest rose and fell in anger, and he didn't know why Shen Chi, who was usually very obedient, was so stubborn today, at this time Hu Shi came out and said: "Xiao Chi wants to go, take him there, it's okay if you don't go to school for a day." ”
Shen Changlin had no choice but to take Shen Chi with him.
Xiao Mingjin's house is on the edge of Song Town, and it is a one-story red brick house, which is considered a rich family in the countryside where there are still many earthen houses.
It only took more than ten minutes to ride a bicycle, and when Shen Changlin took Shen Chi to Xiao Mingjin's house, there were seven or eight round tables at the door, and there were already many guests and friends who arrived first.
The Xiao family has a lot of relatives, and when they saw Shen Changlin, everyone they knew jokingly shouted: "Mingjin, come out to greet your guests, the child's uncle is here." ”
Shen Aizhi and Xiao Mingjin heard that Shen Changlin was coming, and hurriedly greeted them.
"Second brother, you're here." Shen Aizhi greeted Shen Changlin.
Shen Chi knew the direction of the matter, so he observed the expressions of the two very carefully, although the eldest aunt looked the same, but the eldest aunt always had a forced smile, as if the eldest aunt had quarreled with the eldest uncle before he came.
Shen Changlin responded with a smile, moved the gift that had been prepared in advance from the back seat of the bicycle, and saw the stroller that Shen Changlin bought, someone jokingly said: "It's still the second uncle who has a heart." ”
At this time, from time to time, someone said: "Why didn't my uncle come?" ”
Shen Chi saw that his eldest aunt's face suddenly darkened, and then Shen Changlin hurriedly said, "Big brother can't come because of something, so he specially asked me to tell you." ”
As he spoke, he took out two red envelopes and handed them to Shen Aizhi and said, "These two red envelopes, one is mine and the other is brother's." ”
Shen Aizhi insisted on refusing to accept it: "Second brother, you have already bought so many things for the child, you can't let you break the bank anymore." ”
"Yes, it's not a cost." Shen Changlin stiffened.
Shen Aizhi was stubborn, he was only willing to ask for one, Shen Changlin insisted on giving him both red envelopes, Shen Aizhi whispered with red eyes at this time: "Second brother, you don't have to lie to me, the eldest brother never thought of recognizing me as a sister, these two red envelopes are yours." ”
Shen Changlin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, these two red envelopes were indeed made by Shen Chi's mother Gui Shuzhen, saying that it was to ease the relationship between the aunt and the uncle, but he didn't expect Shen Aizhi to feel like a mirror in his heart.
At this time, Shen Chi said on the side: "Auntie, this red envelope was really brought to you by my uncle and my father, and we went to my uncle's house when we came." ”
Thinking of the aunt in his previous life, after the aunt left, the uncle has been regretting this matter for many years, if it wasn't for the grandmother who let the uncle see the face of the aunt who left the only bone and blood in this world, the uncle would really put the uncle in prison.
Uncle still loves his aunt very much in his heart, but he is still vomiting in his heart for a while, and he hates his aunt more than steel.
Shen Aizhi reached out and touched Shen Chi's head, but still accepted the red envelope.
Reborn back, this is just the second time Shen Chi has seen his aunt here.
For the memory of the eldest aunt in his previous life, Shen Chi is actually very vague, but there are two fragments that have been deeply engraved in his mind, one is that the eldest aunt is walking on the field stalk with her arms, and wandering around the four villages and bays, just to prevent him from crying.
Another scene is the scene of the eldest aunt and her mother going to the mall, Shen Chi can't remember exactly what to buy, he only remembers that the eldest aunt walked in front of him with a smile, and his mother followed behind with a smile.
These all happened before the eldest aunt got married, when Shen Chi was only a few years old, but these two pictures are like dusty old objects, occasionally turned out, but they can still give him warmth and touch the softest place in his heart.
Welcomed into the house by the eldest aunt and the eldest uncle, the snow walls are all around, and at a place of one and a half meters from the ground to the wall, they are painted with blue paint, typical of the decoration style of the eighties, and the inside is bright, clean and tidy.
Xiao Mingjin attached great importance to Shen Changlin, and specially arranged for a cousin of his own family to accompany Shen Changlin. Shen Chi only came for the eldest aunt this time, and he couldn't take care of his father at this time, so he followed behind the eldest aunt the whole time, for fear that something would happen to her.
People came and went, the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt and mother-in-law entertained the guests, the eldest aunt took her cousin in the room, everything was fine, and nothing major happened.
