Although he was taught not to understand romance, Jiang Shen bought Bai Jinyi a new boxing glove with all the lucky money he received this year.
The second generation of Bai didn't say anything, but he used it in training the next day. Lai Song regarded it as a bonus, and got a wristband bought for him by a little swan.
After confirming the dance school and teacher, Jiang Shen had to go back to prepare for changing his residence and going to school. Bai Jinyi stayed in Shanghai to continue his daily life training, and Lai Song finally showed mercy no longer. Juicer abused him, and accompanied Jiang Shen back to the neighboring city.
"I have to prepare for the third year of school." Lai Songdao, "There are a lot of cultural lessons to make up."
Jiang Shen: "Song Xin is also making up lessons, can you meet her?"
"Sister Rijin, I met every day before." Lai Song crossed his arms, and he said while waiting for the bus with Jiang Shen, "She is very happy to know that you have worshiped Shen Junyi's disciples, and I will go play with you with her after a while. "
Jiang Shen was naturally very happy when he heard that they were coming, and hurriedly said, "There are a lot of hydrangeas blooming on the mountain behind us, Song Xin will definitely like it!"
Gou Mao picked up Jiang Shen at the station with Qing Lingzi. The little girl was wearing a light yellow dress and holding a parasol. Seeing Jiang Shen excitedly stood on tiptoe and waved: "Shenzi!"
Jiang Shen squeezed out from the crowd, he didn't care to wipe the sweat all over his face, and started to take out his bag when he saw someone: "Qing Lingzi, look what I bought for you."
Gou Mao pushed him: "Let's go back and talk about it, do you want a cold drink?"
Jiang Shen and Qing Lingzi each had a salt water popsicle, and walked back to the village while eating. The bookstore next to the station was open, and a curtain was installed to keep cool. closed.
"Grandpa." Jiang Shen got his head into the curtain and shouted, "I'm back!"
The old man squinted one eye, fumbled for the reading glasses at hand and put them on: "Where did you go to play?"
"Shanghai." Jiang Shen took out a tickle stick from his bag, "Give it to your grandpa."
The old man cheered up and let out a "yo".
Jiang Shen: "I'm going to Shanghai to learn dancing soon!"
The old man laughed and said, "Good thing, good thing." He stood up tremblingly, and said, "Wait a minute."
Jiang Shen waited outside.
The old man scratched his back with the tickle stick, turned around from the back room for a while, and came out with a box in his hand: "The photo that grandpa took of you dancing that day has been developed."
In this day and age, mobile phones can do video and camera, and even worse, there are Polaroids that can take pictures quickly. Most of the pictures are stored in the computer, and few people deliberately wash them out.
"Grandpa made a photo album for you." The old man was a little proud, and urged, "Go back and look at it."
The intense heat of the August heat melted into the salt water popsicle in Jiang Shen's hand. He walked on the blue field ridge and watched Shen Shubao riding a newly bought mountain bike from a distance.
Qinglingzi's skirt was like a golden sunflower, Gou Mao squatted down and carried her sister on her back.
On the other side of the road is the shallow grass beach, which is lively again at this time. The boatman shakes the oar and passes through the layers of reeds. The stern of the boat follows a group of wild ducks, leaving sparkling ripples.
Shen Shubao waited at the head of the field, put one foot on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up!"
Gou Mao laughed loudly: "Didn't you see that I am carrying a thousand pieces of gold!"
"Qianjin" kicked his legs to get down, Gou Mao put him down carefully, Shen Shubao took Jiang Shen's bag, and found that Shen was not good: "What treasures did you bring back, didn't you tell you not to buy randomly?"
Jiang Shen: "It's nothing, they are all small gadgets."
Gou Mao saw through him and said, "You and I are both key chains, Qing Lingzi is a pencil case, this kid spent all the New Year's money, he will probably be beaten when he goes back."
Shen Shubaole's can't do it: "Eat together at night, with us here, there should be no way to hit you."
Tan Lingling and Jiang Luoshan started preparing the meal early in the morning, Miao Hua'er and Li Zhuo from next door also came to help, Chen Laoshi bought firecrackers, and when he came back, he slapped his head and remembered: "Oh, I forgot to buy wine."
Miao Hua'er spat at him: "You pig head, remember what?"
Chen Laoshi smiled honestly: "I'm going to buy it now, I'm going to buy it now."
Li Zhuo came out and took off his apron while smiling and said, "Don't run away anymore, I asked Shen Guoliang to bring it back after get off work."
The dairy farm where Shen Guoliang works is not far away. When he came back from get off work, he brought two bottles of rice wine. Unlike the other fathers, Shen Guoliang was the one who talked the least. He entered the room and put down the wine. I stayed where I needed help, and then went out as if I couldn't take it easy.
Tan Lingling watched from afar, and said "Hey", "Brother Nian, where are you going?"
Li Zhuo was quite relieved: "Leave him alone, he must have gone to pick up the children."
Shen Shubao rode slowly at the front, passing by a boat selling lotus pods, he stopped and turned around and asked, "How many do you want to buy?"
Qing Lingzi spread his fingers: "Five!"
Shen Shubao threw away the car and slid down the slope to give money to the boatman. When he climbed up with the lotus, he saw Shen Guoliang standing on the slope.
"Dad!" Shen Shubao said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Shen Guoliang: "Come to pick you up." He took the lotus pod in his son's hand, knelt down and said, "Qing Lingzi is here, uncle will carry you."
As the only girl, it was natural for her to be pampered by several families. While carrying the little girl on his back, Shen Guoliang peeled the lotus seeds and stuffed them into the hands of the other three boys one by one.
When they were about to reach the entrance of the village, Jiang Luoshan and Chen Laoshi were already waiting.
The bright red firecrackers spread all the way to the courtyard. When Chen Laoshi was lighting it, Qing Lingzi subconsciously covered his ears, and the red confetti flying all over the sky floated all over Jiang Shen's head. Tony Jinji stood alone at the highest point of the courtyard gate, full of spirit There were two beeps.
The adults surrounded the children and entered the house like a holiday. Jiang Shen sat in the middle, and Miao Hua'er and Li Zhuo each gave him another red envelope.
Tan Lingling said embarrassedly: "You are really, why are you so polite."
Miao Hua'er smiled brightly: "Shen Zi is promising, of course he should be rewarded!"
Tan Lingling: "The most promising one is Shubao, who has been admitted to a key high school. It's a happy event for the whole village."
Li Zhuo waved his hand: "Stop boasting, if you keep on boasting, you won't be able to find anything."
Jiang Luoshan opened the wine and filled it up for Shen Guoliang and Chen Laoshi. The three men didn't talk much. Hot dishes.
Li Zhuo served vegetables for the children and urged Jiang Shen to eat the chicken legs.
Miao Huaer persuaded her: "You eat by yourself, don't worry about the little ones, Mao Xiu and Shu Bao can take care of them."
Chen Maoxiu was still peeling lotus seeds for his younger sister, while Shen Shubao piled most of the chicken into Jiangshen's bowl.
"By the way, the keychain." Jiang Shen suddenly remembered, and ran into the house to take out the gift.
He bought key chains with swan patterns for his two brothers, one black and one white, and let them choose by themselves.
Gou Mao chose a black swan, and he still disliked it: "You are too tasteless, isn't it too feminine?"
Shen Shubao kicked him under the table, his hand moved quickly, and it was already on the key ring.
Jiang Shen was very happy, and gave the swan pencil case to Qing Lingzi again: "I've been picking it for a long time, you guys want to use it."
"Use it!" After the mouth was disgusted, Gou Mao immediately hung up the keychain, "What else do you want to eat, brother will hold it for you!"
Qinglingzi put away the pencil case darlingly, and patted his elder brother: "The lotus seeds haven't been peeled yet!"
A table of meals lasted until midnight, and the kitchen started cooking three times. In the end, there were only three red-faced men left on the table. The mothers changed places by themselves, and went to the yard to enjoy the shade while eating melon seeds and chatting. , Tony surrounded the chickens, occasionally pecking at the melon seed shells that fell on the ground.
Shen Shubao and the others accompanied Jiang Shen in the room to watch his male version of the CD of Swan Lake, which was borrowed from Chen Maoxiu's house in the computer room. Except that Qing Lingzi was really sleepy, and he slept sweetly in the dog's arms. I watched with gusto.
"How many times have we watched this?" Chen Maoxiu asked Jiang Shen in a low voice while watching.
Jiang Shen thought for a while: "I can't remember, it must have been a dozen times."
Shen Shubao sighed, and said with emotion: "It's still very good."
Jiang Shen stared at the computer screen without speaking. In the play, it happened that the prince appeared by the lake. The male swan played by Adam Cooper danced beside him. with subtle muscle changes.
The more Jiang Shen looked at it, the more troubled he became, and he said to himself: "It's so difficult..."
"What's so difficult?" Shen Shubao asked, "Do you want to dance this?"
Jiang Shen was embarrassed to say that he wanted to show Bai Jin a look, so he could only give a vague "hmm".
Shen Shubao laughed: "Then you still have to choose a male dance partner." He looked at it for a while, and then said, "But it is really difficult, especially when it comes to acting. This is a love story, between two men."
Jiang Shen was taken aback, he didn't think about that at all before, and asked again: "Do men like men?!"
"Why not?" Shen Shubao's tone was quite ordinary, "Male swan, male prince, there is no problem."
Chen Maoxiu didn't see half of it, so she went back to sleep with Qing Lingzi in her arms, and Shen Shubao watched it with Jiang Shen for a while before leaving. In the end, Jiang Shen was the only one left, and watched the whole song and dance drama.
He turned off the computer and took a long breath, thinking too much in his mind, a little confused and confused.
The yard has long been quiet, the adults have dispersed, and the moonlight falls into the house, so you can see clearly without turning on the lights.
Jiang Shen sat on the edge of the bed, opened the bag, and found that the photo album box given by the bookstore's grandfather hadn't been opened yet.
He thought for a while, wiped his hands, and carefully lifted the lid.
Inside was a stack of thick photo albums.
Jiang Shen turned over one by one, each of which was dancing by himself, when he jumped up, when he twirled, when he kicked up the feather skirt, and the totem on his body that day was as hot as a flame. good paper.
Grandpa's pen is vigorous but gentle.
He wrote: "I wish you this life, dream light, grow wildly, and never hesitate."
