Xia Ye stayed at home for two days and took a short annual leave.
It happened that Teacher Xia came back from Yecheng the next day and brought some gifts, Xia Ye took Tang Jinyu home, and the two got together for a bit of fun.
Teacher Xia brought two boxes of Yecheng mangoes this time, each weighing two or three kilograms. Although they are green peels, they are sweet and sour after being cut, and they are still very delicious.
There is no need to practice the piano during the Chinese New Year. Not only is Teacher Xia busy, but Master Leo is also very busy. He has several Chinese New Year piano recitals, and he will go abroad, at least until after the Lantern Festival.
Tang Jinyu sent New Year's text messages to the teachers and classmates earnestly, and even Li He, who was not very easy to get along with, also sent a message, and Li He replied with a very long message, mixed with a lot of emojis, this person usually doesn't seem to be easy to get along with , but the text messages are answered very quickly, which is particularly good for the Chinese New Year atmosphere.
Tang Jinyu picked up a few interesting ones for Xia Ye to see. Xia Ye was too familiar with his classmates who played well. The Han Yichen brothers and sisters sent the same New Year's greetings text messages, except they changed their names, followed by a series of auspicious words. I don't know who copied who.
Teacher Xia brought back the special products of Yecheng, and the family began to miss the trip a few years ago. Chen Suling said with some emotion: "I have been very busy these few years, so long has passed in the blink of an eye, I remember that time. Xiaoyu is still young, she only knows how to doze off in her arms, and she slept all the way home from the airport."
Teacher Xia also nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, that was the first time I went back to attend the New Year's concert. It has been many years now."
He had surgery, his body was better, and the wounds in his heart slowly healed in the process of teaching children day after day. After a few years, he really couldn't imagine that he still had the courage to stand on the stage again.
Tang Hongjun said: "If you have time, let's go there again. The hotel was good last time, and I took a lot of photos."
The adults were chatting aside, Tang Jinyu was very interested when he heard it, and Tang Hongjun teased him: "Xiaoyu, do you want to go with us, or wait until your birthday? There are still a few days off on May 1st, when the time comes. We still stayed at the hotel last time, don't you particularly like to see those big fish in their house?"
Tang Jinyu was very interested, nodded and said, "Okay, is Loulan still there? I haven't seen it for a long time."
"It should be there, koi can live for decades!"
"Wow, that must be huge—"
After a while, the adults went to make tea and play chess. After the adults were gone, Xia Ye sat up, raised his hand and tapped his brother's forehead lightly, and said in a low voice, "Greedy, didn't you say you went to Harbin City? I want to go to Coconut City."
Tang Jinyu said righteously: "There are so many interesting places, I want to go anywhere." He forked a piece of mango in his hand and fed it to Xia Ye's mouth, flatteringly said, "Brother, wait for me for a few years, I will raise it when I make money from work. You, you can retire early, and I will show you everywhere!"
Xia Ye raised his eyebrows.
Tang Jinyu immediately said: "Really, I've made up my mind. In the future, I'll be with my uncle, I will study at the Conservatory of Music, and then with Uncle Kawhi's symphony orchestra, I can play the piano and travel everywhere. Then you will follow me, I will be in the hotel bed. I'll give you half, you see, we even saved the hotel money, hehe~"
Xia Ye pinched the tip of his nose and laughed angrily, "You have so much money in your pocket, why are you so stingy?"
Tang Jinyu said aggrievedly: "I don't have any cash. I only have this little money every year. I have to save it for another year."
Xia Ye did the math for him. The child is indeed rich now, but most of them are dividends from real estate and mines, which are directly credited to the child's account. Now they are in the custody of a guardian, and they really can't get it directly. He turned around and wanted some pocket money.
There is no one who has gotten into such a miserable second generation of rich people.
Xia Ye approached and whispered: "I'll open a secondary card for you, there is no limit, okay?"
Tang Jinyu was very tempted, but she still shook her head and refused, "No, I'm afraid of losing it."
Xia Ye scratched his chin, thought for a moment, and said with a chuckle, "Alright, then come to me when you need it. Anyway, as you grow taller, you can have many more wishes."
Tang Jinyu got excited when she heard this, took Xia Ye's hand up and asked him to measure it for himself again, the results were remarkable in half a year, and he grew a lot taller. Xia Ye looked down at the scale numbers and said, "Don't tiptoe."
Tang Jinyu retracted the heel that was eager to lift it up, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, how much has it grown?"
"169.5 centimeters."
"Wow! I rounded up to one meter seven!"
Tang Jinyu was overjoyed. After Xia Ye finished the measurement, she looked at it for a long time, then turned around and said, "Brother, if you keep going like this, will I be 1.8 meters tall next year?"
Xia Ye rubbed his head and said, "It's fine now."
To be honest, the adults in their family have discussed about the height of the child. Although Xia Ye is not senior enough, he still regards himself as a parent. The parents of Xia Tang’s family agree that as long as their children exceed 1.67 meters This average height is quite good. Now that the goal has been exceeded, it will be a surprise to grow any longer.
Tang Jinyu felt that she could still grow better. Now she doesn't eat much snacks. She drinks two glasses of milk every day. When Xia Ye is close to him, she can smell the milk fragrance on his body. Also sweet and soft.
Xia Ye was stunned when he saw his little brother come over like a puppy and sniffed his chest twice, and his head was about to dig into his arms.
Xia Ye's body was tense, but his face remained calm. He pinched his neck and asked, "What are you doing?"
Tang Jinyu picked up a little of his clothes and said suspiciously, "Strange, brother, you didn't smoke yesterday, why does this dress smell like cigarettes, it's the same mint from yesterday..." It didn't smell bad, but he hadn't seen him for so many years. My brother smoked a cigarette, so I'm really curious.
Xia Ye smelled it himself. He didn't smell it himself, and he didn't know how his brother's puppy had such a sharp nose. He said to him, "Maybe the clothes were mixed up before. I'll go upstairs to change one."
Tang Jinyu followed behind him like a small tail, gossiping in a low voice: "Brother, are you secretly smoking?"
"No, it was your brother Song who drew it. I accidentally got a little on it during the previous meeting."
"Oh, I thought you were unhappy about something. If you have something on your mind, you can tell me. Although I can't help, I can listen." Tang Jinyu made a lock on her mouth and said seriously, "I'll keep it in my ears and promise not to say it."
Xia Ye thinks that his small ears are also very powerful. It is estimated that his brother knows more than them whether it is the gossip of the company from Aunt Chen or the gossip news from his side.
"If you're obedient, I won't be unhappy." Xia Ye put his hand on the doorknob and looked at the child behind him, "I'm changing clothes, do you want to come in and see?"
Tang Jinyu waved her hand and stood at the door waiting for him.
After a while, someone in the room called him, "Xiaoyu, where is my belt?"
Tang Jinyu spoke at the door, and the people inside rummaged for a while and then said, "Come in, I can't find it."
Tang Jinyu went in and looked for him. There was a bedroom here for Xia Ye, but he didn't come here. Every season, Chen Suling would stuff the brothers with a lot of new clothes. It's normal to find too many things. Tang Jinyu rummaged through to find seven or eight belts and put them beside the bed for his brother to choose.
Xia Ye reached out and picked up a belt to tie it. His hands were slender and strong, with well-defined joints, and his fingers flexibly went around his waist, and buckled the belt slowly.
Tang Jinyu stared at his hand unconsciously. After looking at it for a while, Xia Ye shouted, and she suddenly realized that she blushed inexplicably.
Xia Ye said: "What's wrong, inappropriate? Then I'll change another one."
He said that he was going to reach out to untie the belt, Tang Jinyu said hurriedly: "Suitable, suitable, this is the same color as your watch strap, it's brown and beautiful!" Tang Jinyu's eyes were still on his hand, and he didn't know what to do with himself. Now, when I saw those hands, I was inexplicably attracted. When I was young, I admired him very much. When I got older, I felt that his brother was very good in addition to his hands.
It seems to be more than worship, but he can't tell the difference now, as long as he sees Xia Ye, he is happy, the kind of happiness that comes from the heart.
Xia Ye changed his clothes and beckoned Tang Jinyu to come over and smell it, "Is there still smoke?"
Tang Jinyu shook her head, the tips of her ears flushed a little while lying in his arms. He heard his brother's steady and powerful heartbeat coming through his clothes, and his heartbeat accelerated a little for no reason.
Xia Ye rubbed his ears and whispered, "What are you thinking, why are you blushing all of a sudden?"
Tang Jinyu looked up at him, and when she saw his brother's face, she forgot what she was going to say.
Xia Ye was stunned for a moment and flicked his forehead. Although he didn't say anything, he could see that he was in a good mood.
Tang Jinyu used to think his brother was a little good-looking, but now he realizes that he is really handsome, especially when he is working, his meticulous expression looks the most charming, no wonder Han Yichen and the others would joke that his brother is the best among the group find a partner.
Thinking of this, Tang Jinyu felt a little tangled, and lost her mind several times.
This phenomenon waited until Master Leo came back. He continued to take piano lessons, but he still failed to correct it. During the class, Leo's instructor was fine, but when he practiced by himself, he repeated the same measure several times, but he forgot to continue playing. .
Li He sat next to him and connected with him, and when he saw something strange, he touched him with his arm before Tang Jinyu reacted, and continued to play the song with him.
When it was time to rest, it was rare that Li He didn't make trouble again. Probably after the New Year's text message was sent, everyone had a little communication with each other. After Li He came back, he had a better attitude towards him and asked, "What's the matter with you today? Look. Like being hit, who bullied you?"
Tang Jinyu said, "What you said is like what my brother said, no one bullied me, I was just thinking about it myself."
Li He smiled, touched his chin and said, "You can call me brother."
Tang Jinyu didn't speak.
Li He thinks this is good, he doesn't hate new classmates so much anymore, because he is beaten by his uncle every day, and the sense of shame at the beginning has been smoothed out day by day. In short, he is now thick-skinned and has Don't care anymore. After giving up his self-esteem, Li He is very happy now, and he also tried to make friends with the only friend in the piano room, "Tang Jinyu, I'm asking you, how are you today?"
"It's nothing, just thinking about what to do when my brother wants to talk to someone in the future."
"Hey, what's the matter, multiple sisters-in-law hurt you!"
"… "
Even though he said that, Tang Jinyu was always a little troubled in his heart. He had thought about this before, and wanted to be independent at the time, but in the end, it was his brother who helped him and Xiaoji and the others. Brother said that he doesn't need to grow up, but sooner or later they will be separated in another way, not so close anymore.
Tang Jinyu sighed. When Li He next to him was talking to him, he didn't say much. It wasn't until Li He said "Hashi" that he turned his head and asked, "Did you go to Hashi for winter vacation?"
Li He looked at him and said strangely, "I'm from Hashi, can't you hear it?"
Tang Jinyu does hear that he has a little northeastern accent, but this accent is contagious, especially Mr. Leo's side has a bit of a big Russian tongue. He has a lot of reflexes, and he runs even more. He really doesn't know about Li He. It's from Harbin City.
Tang Jinyu was particularly interested in Hashi now, looked up at him, and saw that Li He was already vigilant before asking: "What are you looking at me for? Are you still laughing, are you laughing at my non-standard pronunciation?"
Tang Jinyu shook her head again and again, "No, I just sounded very kind."
Li He: "Oh? Have you been to Harbin City?"
"I haven't been there yet, but I've made plans for more than half a year. I've already decided what to eat there." Tang Jinyu said with genuine envy, "I've always wanted to go and see, it snows over there in winter. It must be very beautiful, right? Is there an ice sculpture exhibition?"
Li He proudly said: "That's necessary, our house is the most beautiful, come back and I'll take you to play."
Tang Jinyu nodded, but soon shook her head again and said, "I can't go out in winter, and if I get sick, I will cause trouble for my family, but my brother said, when the weather warms up, take me to see the indoor ice lanterns..."
Tang Jinyu praised Hashi all afternoon. He really did a lot of strategies, and he did not repeat the tricks when he played. How could Li He stand this, his tail was about to go to the sky, and he couldn't be proud.
Li He let go of his defensiveness, and praised generously: "You are very good, I didn't see it, you are quite aesthetic."
Later, even Mr. Leo knew it, he touched the beard on his lips, tried his best to hold down the corners of his lips, and Yu Yourong said: "Hashi is very good, don't worry, there will be more opportunities to go out in the future. , as long as you play the piano well, you can participate in the competition, there are many competitions in the international division that are held in Harbin, I will recommend you to go if you play well."
Tang Jinyu's eyes lit up and she nodded again and again.
Li He glanced at him, and when the teacher turned around and didn't look at them, his eyes fell on Tang Jinyu, and suddenly he had a little fighting spirit. This little dwarf next to him is also going to participate in the competition. He is very competitive, not bad.
Tang Jinyu didn't think about the competition at all, he just wanted to go to Harbin City, because Mr. Leo said that he was happier, and he could go to Harbin City just to participate in the competition, so that means he only needs to be shortlisted, and he can go after a year. Two or three trips, you can go there a few more times to find it, happy!
This is the first time Li He heard Tang Jinyu touting something other than his brother. He was very upset when he heard Tang Jinyu praise his brother before and wished to praise him to the sky. He felt that this person was bragging.
He didn't expect this bragging to his own home, he felt so comfortable!
Li He thought to himself, how can this classmate speak so well
When the get out of class ended in the evening, Li He took the initiative to take him to the door and casually introduced him to a few common sights in Harbin City.
"Anyway, come here when you are free. I often go home. When you come, I will take you to play. Travel magazines say that those of us locals don't go there at all. That's nothing. , I'll take you skiing when you come."
Li He had to say more, when he suddenly saw the little dwarf on the opposite side, his eyes lit up, he thought there was a celebrity, and followed Tang Jinyu's gaze, and saw only a few cars on the road. Before he could ask, the boy next to him waved his hand and said with his eyes bent, "Thank you, my brother has come to pick me up, let's go first, see you at school tomorrow!"
Li He waved his hand to him and watched the top student trot over, not as steady as he was in the piano room. When he saw the person getting off the car at the door, he jumped up and hugged him, like a little leather monkey.
He felt that Tang Jinyu didn't have the alienation feeling of the top students before, which was quite real.
This guy is nice.
are good friends.
The author has something to say: Li He: People in Kwaha City are all friends.
