Chapter 096

Squire Huaiming rode his bike to a residential area with Zhen Zhen.

Stopping the car in a hutong, Zhen Zhen jumped down from the backseat of the car, Shui Huai Ming lifted his leg to get out of the car, put the car to one side and stood it up, and then took Zhen Zhen to a house outside the door to tap on the door.

When the sound of the door knocking fell, a voice came out from the courtyard, “The door is open, come in.”

Serving Huai Ming took Zhen Zhen into the courtyard, just as a young man in his thirties came out of the house.

I haven’t met him before, and I don’t know who he is. Servant Huai Ming first introduced himself, “Hello, my name is Servant, I asked someone to tell me a year ago that I would come here after the new year to see if I could learn the violin, this is the place, isn’t it?”

When he said this, the young man naturally knew.

He immediately politely, slightly waisted and said, “Good day, is here is here.”

After greeting Shi Huai Ming, he greeted Zhen Zhen, who smiled back and said, “Hello.”

After greeting each other, the young man immediately brought Shi Huaiming and Zhen Zhen inside.

After entering the house, the young man immediately brought Shi Huai Ming and Zhen Zhen to the house. He let Shi Huai Ming and Zhen Zhen sit down, and made two cups of tea and brought them over.

As they sat down next to each other, the young man smiled and said, “I didn’t know you were coming over today, so I apologize for the poor hospitality.”

Serving Huai Ming was not here to be a guest, sipping tea and asking him, “Who teaches violin here?”

When he mentioned this, the young man again looked like he had no idea.

He quickly added, “That’s me, sorry I forgot to introduce myself, my last name is Wang.”

The young man’s name was Wang.” The young man’s name was Wang, and he knew it.

This Mr. Wang worked at the Children’s Palace, teaching violin to the children.

Since he was the one, Servant Huai Ming didn’t talk to him any more than he had to, and talked directly to him about learning the violin.

Originally, learning the violin depends on qualifications and talent, and needs to be learned at a very young age, but today’s situation is very special, so this Mr. Wang did not look at these things at all.

Mr. Wang asked him, “Can we learn like this?” He nodded like a chicken.

He decisively nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, “Yes, yes, yes.”

Seeing that Mr. Wang was nervous, Zhen Zhen smiled and said, “You don’t have to be too nervous, I’m just learning for fun, I don’t have any high expectations, I’m happy if I can simply play a song.”

Mr. Wang nodded again and said, “This is definitely possible.”

Both sides agreed on the matter of learning the piano in person, and naturally agreed on a time to learn the piano.

Zhen Zhen is very purely a hobby, so agreed to come every Sunday to learn a half day.

When she left, Zhen Zhen smiled and said to Mr. Wang, “I’m not under pressure, and you don’t have to be either.”

Teacher Wang nodded his head repeatedly as usual, “I’m not under pressure either.”

Riding her bike, she left the residential area.

Zhen Zhen sat on the back seat of the bike and said to Shui Huaiming, “This teacher is so much younger than me, it should be the first time he’s come across someone as old as me who’s come to learn the violin.”

Mr. Huai Ming said, “As long as you like it, as long as you are interested, you can learn at seventy, we don’t expect to become a master.”

Zhen Zhen laughed and said, “You’re the only one who supports me in everything, whether it’s appropriate or not, strange or not.”

Before that, she supported her to go to college, supported her to write articles, and now she is supporting her to learn the violin.

Regardless of how out of place and unlikeable these things may seem to others, he would tell her very firmly, “Just do what you like, and don’t care what others think or say.”

Squire Huai Ming rode his bike and said, “You are my wife, if I don’t support you, who will?”

Zhen Zhen sat in the back and laughed, raising her hand to support his waist.

***

After going to Mr. Wang’s house, Zhen Zhen added another fresh element to her life – every week on Sunday afternoon, she would go to Mr. Wang’s house to learn the violin and learn about music-related knowledge.

Every week when she went there, Mr. Huai Ming would go with her.

Shi Huai Ming drove her on his bike and helped her carry the violin, and when she was studying under Mr. Wang’s guidance, he would watch and listen silently from the sidelines.

Ms. Wang is afraid of him, and every time she has a lesson, she is as nervous as an elementary school student.

Zhen Zhen didn’t see how much interest Serving Huai Ming had in the violin.

Today, after learning the violin from Mr. Wang’s house, the bicycle out of the hutong, see the front and back of no one, Zhen Zhen sat in the back seat of the car and asked Shi Huaiming: “Is it true that you see Mr. Wang is a man, so every time you follow me here?”

Squire Huai Ming asked back very calmly, “Am I that careful?”

Zhen Zhen continued to ask rhetorically on top of his rhetorical question, “You haven’t?”

Servant Huai Ming laughed a little, “Okay, then it’s yes, right?”

Jen smiles back and doesn’t say anything more about him.

***

Zhen Zhen was, after all, old, and originally knew nothing about music, so learning the violin wasn’t easy.

She went to Mr. Wang’s place to study for half a day on Sundays every week, and when she came home from work during the week, she consolidated what she had learned when she had nothing else to do, and picked up the violin to practice as she went along.

Of course, she had no pressure and was in no hurry, so the learning process was quite enjoyable.

It took her about half a year before she was able to play “Little Star” skillfully.

But this little achievement has already made her very satisfied, and her heart is filled with a sense of accomplishment.

When she came back from Mr. Wang’s house after learning the piano today, Zhen Zhen kept humming “Little Star”.

In the evening, after dinner, she solemnly called Shui Huaoming, Zhong Minfen, Dantong and Xingyu to sit together, took out her violin and told them, “I’ve been learning the violin for half a year, so I’m going to formally play a song for you today.”

Every day the family could hear Zhen Zhen practicing in the house.

At first, the music was just noise, but later it sounded a bit like music.

To actually hear Zhen Zhen play a tune, that hadn’t happened until now.

Dantong looked at Zhen Zhen with great anticipation and asked, “Mom, have you learned?”

Zhen Zhen smiled and said to Dan Tong, “The teacher said, this thing does not learn for seven or eight or ten years, can not learn anything at all, I am now barely able to be considered a beginner, so today I will pull an introductory tune for you.”

Xing Yu gave face and clapped directly, “Go mom!”

No more nonsense.

Zhen Zhen smiled and put the bow on the strings.

Sound flowed out from the strings into a beautiful and pleasant tune.

Dantong and Xingyu bobbed their heads from side to side along with the rhythm.

After Zhen Zhen finished playing once, the two of them sang directly along, “Twinkle, twinkle, bright ……”

Zhong Minfen couldn’t hear all of them with her ears back, and she didn’t know how to sing either, so she smiled and joined in the fun.

Zhen Zhen finished playing and put down her bow.

Dantong and Xingyu immediately gave Zhen Zhen a round of applause, “Mom is great!”

Zhen Zhen was embarrassed by the praise and said with a smile, “This is the only thing I can do now, and I can’t play it very well, so when I learn something else in the future, I’ll play something else for you, okay?”

Dantong and Xingyu said in unison, “Yes!”

***

After playing the piano, it was almost time to wash up.

Dantong and Xingyu washed up first, while Zhong Minfen and Zhen Zhen served Huai Ming later.

While Dantong and Xingyu were washing up, Zhen Zhen played Little Star two more times in her room.

When she finished, she was putting her violin back in its case when there was a knock at the door.

Serving Huai Ming went to open the door, only to see Zhong Min Fen standing outside.

Zhong Minfen held an envelope in her hand and sent it directly to Shui Huaeming, saying, “I forgot, the mailman sent a letter today, saying it was from Ling Ling.”

Servant Huai Ming took the envelope and glanced at it, it was indeed written by Servant Danling.

So he took the letter and went into the house, pulled out a chair for Zhong Minfen to sit down, sat down next to Zhong Minfen himself, opened the letter and put it in front of Zhong Minfen, and read the contents of the letter aloud.

Serving Danling has participated in the traveling medical team for two years.

During these two years, she had been writing back regularly, talking about small things, reporting the good news but not the bad.

But this time the letter was about more than just small things, there was also an important big thing.

Zhong Minfen heard the highlights, and after listening to the letter, she looked at Shui Huaiming and asked, “Does the letter say that Ling Ling is coming back?”

Servant Huai Ming cupped the letter paper in his hand, scanned it again, and nodded, “Mother, yes, Ling Ling is coming back to participate in the distribution.”

Zhong Minfen said repeatedly, “Allocation is good, allocation is good.”

Allocation is good, but I don’t know how the school will allocate.

After washing up and coming back to bed, Zhen Zhen picked up the conversation and said, “Now that Ling Ling and the others have finished receiving re-education for the poor peasants, I don’t know how the school will assign them to this batch of graduates.”

Servant Huai Ming said, “The best thing would naturally be to stay in Xicheng.”

Zhen Zhen looked at Servant Huai Ming and thought for a moment, “You help her?”

Squire Huai Ming also thinks for a moment, “I’ll see.”

***

Summer vacation comes in a dry heat.

After the quiet emptied out of the school’s walls, the rest of the town became a bit more rowdy.

Kids were together in groups, playing wildly all over town and out of town.

The troupe didn’t have a summer vacation, so naturally Danho stayed with the troupe.

Of course, the troupe did have days off, and if there was nothing else to do in the troupe, Dan Sui would go home on those days off and spend the day at home.

Today, when she came back from the regiment, she had just walked to the entrance of the compound when she ran into Servant Danling, who had just returned.

Dan Sui saw Servant Dan Ling first, and naturally called out first, “Sister!”

Serving Danling turned her head at the sound.

Seeing Dan Sui, she immediately smiled, “Spike!”

The two walked in front of each other, Servant Danling looked Dan Sui up and down and said with a smile, “You’ve become a big girl.”

Dan Sui had grown relatively fast in the past two years, and had indeed grown a great deal taller than when Servant Dan Ling left.

She also smiled and said, “Maybe dancing makes it easier to grow taller.”

The two sisters didn’t stand at the doorway for much longer and turned around to head towards the compound together.

As they walked side by side, Servant Danling asked Dan Sui, “I heard that you got yourself into a song and dance troupe at the end of last year, how do you feel about it now? Have you performed on stage?”

Dan Sui shook her head, “I’ve only been in for half a year, I’m far from being on stage.”

Serving Dan Ling still smiled and said, “There’s no need to rush, it’ll happen sooner or later.”

Dan Sui really wasn’t in a hurry either, her priority now was still to get her kung fu practiced.

She talked to Dan Ling about life in the troupe, and said with a long sigh, “Sister, you don’t know, in the troupe in the past six months, every day is either practicing kung fu or studying, there are many rules and strict discipline, and it’s almost exhausting, but it’s still comfortable to go to school.”

Serving Dan Ling laughed out, “I can remember, you hate school the most.”

Dan Sui face collapsed, “I was wrong, or school is good.”

Servant Danling deliberately looked at her and said, “Then you mention it to the troupe and say you want to come back to school.”

Dan Sui laughed again, “I don’t want to do that, it was hard to get in, but I haven’t made it to the stage yet.”

Knowing that she was just making a casual remark, Servant Danling also laughed.

The two talked and entered the hutong.

Dan Sui asked Danling again, “Sister, have you gotten the results of your allocation?”

Serving Danling shook her head, “We still have to wait a few more days, and I don’t know where we’ll be assigned.”

Dan Sui: “It would be good if you could stay in Xicheng.”

Servant Dan Ling: “I’d like that too.”

Who wouldn’t want to.
