Chu Xiaoxiao felt that Brother Cheap's brain circuit was incomprehensible, she glanced at him inexplicably, then retracted to the bed to look at the iPad, and muttered, "You are so boring."
Chu Xiaoyi and Liang Shuangqi always had disputes over music topics, but Chu Xiaoxiao knew nothing about pop and classical, at least when they were knocking plates in the tea room, she didn't hear any difference. She was only an older brother and began to smear classical music, and she didn't take his words to heart except that he jumped the topic too fast.
After the visit of the guests before the Spring Festival, Chu Jiadong also drove his grandma and others to Yurongtai, and the whole family spent the New Year together. Grandparents have already flown to the warm south, which is their habit in winter, and will not return to Beijing until the beginning of spring.
Inside the Yurong Terrace, the two sides deliberately connected to the video for New Year's greetings. Grandma Lu Suman saw her grandmother Chu Zhen on the sofa, and she immediately shouted excitedly: "Jiner, do you remember me? Do you remember me? Who?"
Outside the video screen, grandpa Xiao Jitong's helpless voice came over: "Don't shout so loudly, don't shout so loudly..."
Lu Suman: "She can't hear well now, how can I hear if I don't call her!?"
The whole family gathered around the grandmother to watch the video of both parties, and only made the old man on the sofa amused. She stretched out her fingers tremblingly and pointed at Luthman with a smile, but she couldn't open her mouth to speak.
Grandma Chu Zhen made a rare reaction, which made grandma Lu Suman happy. She couldn't help but say happily: "I remember it clearly, after all, we played a lot together!"
When my grandmother was in good health, she always made an appointment with her grandmother to travel. Due to the complementary personalities of the two sides, the relationship was not bad.
Xiao Jitong complained: "Because you are panicking, so remember to clear..."
Lu Suman: "Why do you talk so much!?"
In the video, the grandparents are about to eat dinner, and the old people are chatting with the children. Chu Xiaoyi took the lead in paying New Year's greetings to the old man. He talked about his current situation, and then it was Chu Xiaoxiao's turn. She said some New Year's words.
The grandmother said enthusiastically: "Xiao Xiao, don't look at the fact that grandpa and grandma haven't been in the imperial capital for the New Year in the past two years. I have saved the New Year's money for you, and I will give it to you when I go back!"
The elderly are not used to online transfers. They always put cash in the hands of children, so that they have a sense of ritual to give New Year's money.
"Thank you, grandma!" Chu Xiaoxiao responded happily, she remembered something, glanced at her brother who had just finished talking, and hesitated, "Then does my brother have one?"
Chu Xiaoyi didn't have the concept of receiving New Year's money for a long time. He really didn't expect her to remember him, and he was flattered for a while.
Lu Suman: "Your brother received it twenty years earlier than you. When you become an adult, your grandmother will not give it to you!"
Chu Xiaoxiao was relieved after hearing the words. It turned out that the New Year's money was given according to the age, so she and her brother both received it for 18 years, which sounds fair.
Seeing that his sister was relaxed, Chu Xiaoyi wanted to tease her deliberately: "You are at a loss, it's really not at the right time, and now there is inflation, and money is not as valuable as it used to be!"
Before Chu Xiaoxiao could speak, grandma Lu Suman hurriedly said: "No, my grandpa and I have adjusted according to inflation, we can calculate it clearly!"
Chu Xiaoyi: "..." After you retire, will you show off your residual energy in these areas
After the video ended, grandma, who was often lethargic, also cheered up. She seemed to be infected by her grandmother's vitality. For the first time, she looked at the two brothers and sisters from left to right, and observed them with slightly cloudy eyes.
Chu Xiaoxiao noticed her grandmother's state, and she began to wave to each other desperately, and the idea of attracting the attention of the old man came up again. This seems to be her obsession since she was born, because her grandmother is in a state of Alzheimer's, so her emotional color plug-in doesn't work either. She was like a bunny, squatting on the sofa and swaying around.
Chu Xiaoyi found the old man's expression dazed, he simply held grandma's hand, and pointed at Chu Xiaoxiao, said softly: "Grandma, look at her, look at her..."
Grandma turned her head to look at the little girl Chu Xiaoxiao on the right, and then looked at the tall Chu Xiaoyi on the left. She suddenly fell into a long silence, and then she suddenly pushed Chu Xiaoyi's hand away as if she had realized something.
Chu Xiaoyi suddenly looked surprised, and when she saw her grandmother pushed her away, she reached out and patted her, and said in surprise, "Aiya!"
Chu Xiaoxiao was jumping left and right just now, and she was also shocked at this time: "What's wrong with grandma?"
The little uncle was sitting at the dining table choosing dishes, he hurried over to wipe his hands, observed it carefully, and seemed to have come to a realization: "Did she distinguish you?"
Chu Xiaoyi was confused: "What do you mean?"
Sure enough, grandma looked at Chu Xiaoyi from the left and Chu Xiaoxiao from the right. Her face was instantly filled with a smile, and she laughed happily for a while, and then looked at the TV leisurely, as if she had returned to her own spiritual world, letting her go. Others are scratching their heads.
Uncle: "She often does this. She's happy when she recognizes someone, but she forgets about it later..."
"Because you're all at home today, she might have figured it out."
Grandma won't remember the changes of people around her. Her impression of others is what she remembers, and her memory is also scattered. She can remember the past Chu Xiaoyi, but she can't recognize the present Chu Xiaoyi. Because she felt that Chu Xiaoyi should be as short as Chu Xiaoxiao, so she would always be confused, calling Xiao Yi to Xiao Xiao, but not to Xiao Yi, as if she met a stranger.
Chu Xiaoyi suddenly had a sour nose, and he didn't know what to say for a while. When Chu Xiaoxiao heard the words, she approached excitedly. She lay beside her grandmother to test: "Really? Can you really tell the difference?"
Chu Xiaoxiao wanted to try again, but grandma's spirit passed, and the other party started to doze again, so the little girl could only shut up regretfully.
While choosing dishes, my uncle chatted, "Does Xiao Yi want to study abroad? I heard from your parents, when do you want to leave?"
Chu Xiaoyi: "Yes, I will pass the language test this year, and I will start the application next year. The specific time has not yet been determined."
Chu Xiaoyi's schedule is all scheduled until next year and the year after, he always has to finish his schedule before leaving, and he has to apply for the school.
Uncle: "Ah, it takes four years to go to school, that's a long time..."
Chu Xiaoyi originally thought that studying abroad for four years was not long, but he looked at his sister and grandma sitting side by side on the sofa, the child was watching TV seriously, and the old man was leaning back and dozing off, and suddenly became a little uncertain. He didn't feel that he didn't go home often before, but in the festival, he was a little emotional and inexplicably shaken.
For the first time in several years, Chu Xiaoyi spent the New Year at home completely. Suddenly, he felt that he was covered by a warm spider web, and he could not move his legs.
On the first day of the new year, Liang Shuangqi came to the door with firecrackers and came to play with Chu Xiaoxiao. Chu Xiaoyi was dazed at the beginning, and muttered in surprise, "Isn't it a complete ban on firecrackers in the city?"
Chu Xiaoyi stepped into the small courtyard, and when he saw the firecracker toys in the hands of the two children, he finally couldn't help but complain: "This can also be called firecrackers!?"
Liang Shuangqi brought a toy in the shape of firecrackers, which can light up lights and make random noises to simulate the sound of firecrackers. I have to say that this generation of children has no chance to set off firecrackers, and can only experience it in this way.
Chu Xiaoxiao plausibly said: "Of course it's called firecrackers, red, bunched, and glowing."
Liang Shuangqi nodded in agreement: "And the crackling noise, it must be firecrackers."
Chu Xiaoyi saw that they were calling deer a horse, pointing at the toys and shouting firecrackers, he was rather speechless: "According to this logic, if I am red, in a string, can still glow, and make a crackling noise, then I can also be called Firecrackers?"
Liang Shuangqi was stunned for a moment. He blinked and dug a hole quietly: "Otherwise, my brother will demonstrate it now and show us the noise? We can only find out after reading it."
Chu Xiaoxiao was too lazy to argue with her brother, she was busy waving a new toy, and said casually, "Just go to the Spring Festival Gala in previous years, there is no need for him to demonstrate it now."
Chu Xiaoxiao: Red, clustered, glowing, and noisy, isn't this the cheap brother and dancer on the Spring Festival Gala stage
Chu Xiaoyi: "!!?" Why is this generation of children like this
Chu Xiaoyi sneered, he took out two thick red envelopes from his pocket, raised them leisurely in the air, and said arrogantly, "I'll give you two a chance to reorganize your words."
Chu Xiaoyi: I don't believe in things that money can't solve these days!
Chu Xiaoxiao and Liang Shuangqi: "..."
Chu Xiaoxiao responded quickly, she immediately learned and sold, and said righteously: "I plan to take an English word test tomorrow, and I will give you a chance to reorganize the wording."
Chu Xiaoyi: "..."
Chu Xiaoyi was punished for studying, so he had to reluctantly let his sister go. Fortunately, he still had another goal, so he floated his eyes to Liang Shuangqi, and pointedly said: "Oh, I still have a red envelope, but I want to I want to listen to some auspicious words for New Year's greetings..."
Liang Shuangqi glanced at the thick red envelope, and looked at the other party's smug look. He looked at his friend calmly: "Xiao Xiao, please convince your brother to give out the red envelope, I'm really bothering you."
Chu Xiaoyi: "?"
Chu Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Then I..."
Liang Shuangqi let out a long sigh: "Alas, your friend came to play with you specially, but your brother didn't even want to give out red envelopes, so your brother-sister relationship is just like that..."
Chu Xiaoyi: "???"
Chu Xiaoyi said with a smile, "It's not good for you to copy other people's tricks like this?"
Liang Shuangqi: "Writing round eyes is to copy other people's tricks."
Chu Xiaoyi was too lazy to pay attention to the witches and ninjas in the yard, so he sent the red envelopes to the two children, then waved his hand like a fly, and went straight to the tea room: "Okay, back to your magical world, back to yours Ninja world..."
The winter in the imperial capital is relatively cold. Chu Xiaoxiao and Liang Shuangqi studied toys in the yard for a long time, and then they got into the tea room to see what Chu Xiaoyi was doing. Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the English page and said in surprise, "Are you going to apply for a school now?"
Although Chu Xiaoyi always said that he wanted to study and study abroad, Chu Xiaoxiao always felt that it was a very distant thing, after all, the cheap brother didn't even finish English. Now that she found out that he was watching the school in private, she suddenly felt a little disappointed. Now that she wants to come to the cheap brother is not a completely unaccountable person, it's just that she didn't think about it deeply.
Although he is always rough and a little stupid, the decision has not changed, but she always feels that he is joking, or that she chooses to ignore it because she is reluctant to give up. He doesn't go home often now, but at least he is at home, and he will be abroad in the future. It will be more difficult to go home.
Chu Xiaoxiao was a little lost. In the past, Chu Xiaoyi would ask her to translate when she looked at the English page, but today she came in and found out that he was browsing the school.
Liang Shuangqi: "Is this a foreign school? I need a letter of recommendation."
Chu Xiaoyi: "You know a lot."
Liang Shuangqi and Xiao Xiao's brother were going abroad, so they couldn't help but yearnly asked, "When will you go to school, brother?" Will my competition for a job finally usher in the dawn
Chu Xiaoyi was silent for a few seconds, then he squeezed Liang Shuangqi's shoulder and showed a business smile: "Little boy, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
Chu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "But what do you want to learn?"
Chu Xiaoyi: "... um, how about business?"
When Chu Xiaoxiao heard the unexpected answer, she said in surprise: "...Why do you want to learn this?" She thought it would be music.
Chu Xiaoyi: "It sounds cool."
Chu Xiaoxiao: "?"
Liang Shuangqi concluded: "That's really just a thought." He knew that overseas schools needed letters of recommendation, and Brother Xiao Xiao was really bad at business.
Chu Xiaoyi hadn't planned yet, and he said angrily at this time: "Okay, I'll just take a look! You two don't join in the fun!"
Chu Xiaoxiao had a little sadness about the future parting just now. She hesitated when she saw the cheap brother rushing out. She always felt that he didn't seem to have an idea.
Chu Xiaoxiao: The cheap brother is Schrödinger pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. As long as it is not until the last moment, there is no way to determine whether he is a pig or a tiger.
If Chu Xiaoxiao still doubted his brother's strength during the Spring Festival, then Chu Xiaoyi completely hammered his ability to death after the festival.
He Xin relied on the contact information of the band members, and through layers of selection and interviews, he really fished out a good seedling and signed people for training in the studio.
On the other hand, Chu Xiaoyi signed up for an English class at a training institution. After returning from class, he was devastated and confessed: "This bad experience reminds me of high school English class..."
Chu Xiaoyi is now convinced that he is still a teenager when he returns, and that he was still an English scumbag when he was a teenager, and was severely beaten in class.
At the dinner table, Xiao Bi encouraged her: "Learn to get better and better."
Chu Xiaoyi: "It can't be slow, so I switched to online classes, which may be more suitable for me." He has to start work again recently, so it is impossible to go to the classroom again, and listening to online classes is almost the same.
As a junior teacher, Chu Xiaoxiao felt that online classes were even more unreliable for her brother, so she couldn't help but complain: "You may have a wrong perception of yourself..."
Chu Xiaoxiao: After years of data induction and file sorting, I have a deep understanding of the learning ability of magical creatures.
How could Chu Xiaoyi not know that she was going to tease him, he immediately stretched out his chopsticks and said, "Open your mouth, I'll feed you a mouthful of celery, you will grow taller if you eat more!"
Chu Xiaoxiao's words stopped abruptly, she immediately covered her mouth vigilantly, and was unable to speak for a while, which made her parents laugh.
Chu Jiadong persuaded: "Xiao Xiao, Dad's fried celery today is really delicious..."
Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head desperately, she said decisively: "I have heard this sentence last time." I will never be fooled again.
Chu Xiaoyi opened an English online class for himself, and returned to work soon after. Chu Xiaoxiao completed the winter vacation homework at home, and also ushered in the new semester of school.
Before school started, Chu Xiaoxiao was packing his schoolbags in his room, but found that the textbooks did not belong to him. She suddenly recalled the school teacher's analogy, "You are the soldiers who don't carry guns on the battlefield, and you can't carry the things you learn to use."
Chu Xiaoxiao accidentally found his brother's English textbook on the table. It was a thick physical book. Since Chu Xiaoyi now has an electronic version, he left it in his sister's house. He brought it in on the day the guest was visiting, but he didn't remember to take it out later. Of course, whether he has read the electronic version is another new unsolved mystery.
Chu Xiaoxiao: Brother Cheap is more than forgetting to bring a gun on the battlefield. He often provokes the enemy without a gun for self-defense.
Chu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but she still stuffed the thick physical book into her schoolbag, planning to take time to look at it in school. She is currently only in charge of the word part of her brother, mainly because she has never applied to an overseas school, so she does not know enough about the relevant test content, and it is impossible to ask Dadi to teach him something.
After she went to elementary school, she found that test-taking skills are also very important, just like her level with Liu Wenpei and Chen Guangsu, but their skills also affect the outcome. She intends to study it recently to see what her brother is learning.
Chu Xiaoxiao accepted his brother's textbook, originally just wanting to flip through it quietly, but unexpectedly it caused a chain reaction. Her progress in reading was quite fast. Every night after reading it, she used the sundries as a bookmark and put it on the table in the room. There was no accident for several days until He Xin came to the house to pick up the things.
Inside the Yurong Terrace, He Xin greeted Chu Jiadong, and then took the luggage of his artist, wondering, "What textbook? What does it look like? I didn't see it."
Chu Xiaoyi: "It's a very thick book. I need to use it to study abroad. If it's not in my house, it's in the living room..."
With the help of Chu Jiadong, He Xin finally found the book that Chu Xiaoyi had left in his sister's house. He picked it up and was about to stuff it into the bag, when he suddenly noticed that there was a file in the book, so he casually took it out and glanced at it, the name of his own artist was on it.
He Xin: Why is Chu Xiaoyi still a primary school student
The kraft paper bag was marked with Chu Xiaoyi's name. Although the handwriting was a bit crooked, He Xin didn't think much about it.
Chu Xiaoxiao, who was far away from the elementary school, did not know that her magical creature file had been taken away and was mistaken by He Xin as Chu Xiaoyi's study abroad material.
