I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

In the evening, when Lou Xiao'e returned to Kyoto Hotel, Jingyi took her to her room under her grandmother's puzzled eyes. She wanted to have a good talk with her mother to see what she was thinking.

"Mom, I saw Shazhu, no! Uncle He, at the gate of Dongdan Villa today. It seems that he still misses you and often goes there to see you. Tell me the truth, do you still have feelings for him now?"

Jingyi was frank and said that this matter had to be resolved eventually. It would be good for everyone if we could talk it out in person as soon as possible.

"You silly girl, are you controlling your mother now? What did your uncle He say to you today?" Lou Xiao'e's cheeks were a little red! She answered the question irrelevantly.

Jingyi glared at him fiercely and said in an angry tone: "I didn't tell him who I am! What can he say to me? He keeps looking for you, you have to show your attitude."

"What's my attitude? He and your biological mother have formed a family. It's none of your business, little girl. Am I going to be abducted by someone?" After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Jingyi has not made any progress! Lou Xiao'e still treats herself as a child and doesn't want to tell her the truth. It seems that I have to change my approach!

I can't do anything about my mother, but is there anyone who can cure her? I have to ask my grandma for help.

When Sha Zhu returned to No. 95 Courtyard, Qin Huairu started nagging him again. Sha Zhu was upset by her and offered his own price.

"Go and talk to Yan Jiecheng and his wife about the monthly salary of 2,500 yuan for the chef, and allow me to bring food home. If it's okay, it's okay. If not, forget it!"

Seeing that Sha Zhu had given in, Qin Huairu happily ran to the front yard to negotiate with Yu Li and her husband. The monthly salary for this kitchen package was 2,500 yuan, so her family could earn at least 1,000 yuan a month, right?

Sha Zhu calculated in his mind that at least three people were needed to work in the kitchen. The apprentices in his canteen had to work at different times in the steel mill. This way, each of the six people would work half a day in the restaurant!

As the canteen monitor, he certainly couldn't leave, so he could only go to the restaurant after work to deal with it for a while. These two thousand five hundred were not easy to take! With so many people going out to do private work, they had to give some benefits to all parties.

The next day when he was working in the cafeteria, he called his apprentices together and told them that a restaurant wanted to contract out the cooking staff. When the apprentices heard that there was extra money to be earned, they all nodded in agreement.

Sha Zhu divided them into two groups, six people each, and each group was responsible for cooking a meal at the restaurant. Ma Hua and Fatty were in charge, and each was paid 250 yuan per month.

The Chunfeng Restaurant, owned by Yan Jiecheng and his wife, did surprisingly good business right after it opened. The quality of the dishes in the kitchen was checked by Sha Zhu, and the reputation of the Sichuan cuisine at the Chunfeng Restaurant was thoroughly established.

As time slowly approached the end of the year, Jingyi had already rehearsed twice at CCTV, which even borrowed a grand piano from the symphony orchestra for her performance.

After the New Year's Day in 1983, Jingyi started to get busy. She took her assistant Tingting to win awards all over the world. The North American Billboard Awards, the American Music Awards, the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Awards, and the Brit Awards.

At the Grammy Awards ceremony held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 8, Lou Jingyi won seven awards with her two albums and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award from the chairman of the jury.

After the award ceremony, I quickly flew back to China with my assistant. There were only three days until New Year's Eve, and it would be hard to explain to the whole country if I missed the Spring Festival Gala.

The program preview of the Spring Festival Gala was published in the newspaper a week ago. If I missed this Spring Festival Gala, I probably wouldn't be able to perform on the big stage of the Spring Festival Gala in my life.

On the reunion night of New Year's Eve, families with televisions all over the country turned on the TV early. The whole family sat together, eating a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner while waiting for the arrival of the Spring Festival Gala.

At exactly eight o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast signal was picked up on time, and first the news host Zhao Zhongxiang delivered the opening speech.

The first Spring Festival Gala was opened by Li Guyi's song "New Year's Greetings". The following wonderful performances made the audience in front of the TV dazzled and laughed continuously.

The most popular performances among the audience were Wang Jingyu's pantomime "Eating Chicken", Jiang Kun and Li Wenhua's crosstalk "Lip Sync", and Li Guyi's singing of "Homesickness" and "Friends".

"The performer of the next show is really amazing. She received a doctorate in music in the United States at the age of 20, and even won the Chopin International Piano Competition. She is Miss Lou Jingyi, a fellow Hong Konger! Now, please invite her to play the song "Wedding in a Dream" for everyone."

As the host of this show, Ma Ji began to announce the next program. Jingyi appeared in front of the TV audience in a pure white Chanel evening dress.

"Wow! Isn't this girl so pretty?"

"How can there be such a beautiful person? Look at the clothes she is wearing, she is indeed from Hong Kong."

"...!"

There were also several televisions in the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, and like-minded neighbors gathered together to watch. When Lou Jingyi appeared on the TV, these people also praised her.

In the west wing of the central courtyard, the Jia family also sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala. No neighbors came to watch TV, and even Sha Zhu was not there, but was drinking with Yi Zhonghai in the east wing.

"Hey! Who did the crosstalk host introduce just now? I seemed to hear him say it was Lou Jingyi from Hong Kong?"

Banggeng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked his mother Qin Huairu.

"I wasn't paying attention either! Didn't the TV say it was Lou Jingyi?" Qin Huairu's interest immediately rose, and she stared at the TV intently.

When Lou Jingyi, wearing a pure white evening gown, sat down in front of the piano, the TV camera immediately gave her a close-up.

"Let me see, is it acacia? I can recognize it at a glance."

Jia Zhang's fat body immediately came forward, blocking the view of the people behind.

Is this acacia? Why is it so attractive?

At this time, a beautiful piano sound came from the TV. Even the Jia family members who had no musical talent thought it was very nice.

"It must be Huaihua! The name and address match, and they both play the piano!" Banggeng shouted excitedly.

"I don't think so! This girl is too beautiful, she doesn't look like me or your father at all." Qin Huairu was a little hesitant! This girl is extraordinary at first glance, you can't just blindly recognize her.

"Isn't there a program preview in that newspaper? The performances are all introduced in the newspapers. You can find out by reading a newspaper, right?" Tang Yanling suggested. If the girl on TV is really her sister-in-law, she will definitely try to curry favor with her.

"Yes! There are newspapers at my aunt's house. I'll go borrow them."

Banggeng ran to Xu Damao's house. He was usually lazy, but now he ran very diligently.

Xiao Dang stared at the figure on TV, not daring to blink. She felt envious again!

In fact, she had seen the program preview in the newspaper a few days ago. There was a person with the same name as her sister, also from Hong Kong, and also a music doctor who played the piano.

Xiao Dang firmly believed that this person was her sister, but she didn't want to tell her family at all. She just wanted to see her on TV and remember her deeply.

But now it was revealed by the host on TV, which attracted the attention of her brother Bang Geng. Once they are confirmed, they will definitely not let it go. Xiao Dang couldn't help but sweat for his sister!

"Look, it's really her! A PhD from the United States, proficient in piano, with the same name, and also from Hong Kong." Banggeng ran in excitedly with a newspaper in his hand.

Qin Huairu grabbed the newspaper and Banggeng immediately pointed to his mother.

"Why don't you go find her quickly? Don't let her run away!" Jia Zhang shouted, slapping her thigh.

"Let's go to CCTV to find her now! In front of so many people, she won't dare not come back." Banggeng turned around twice, clapped his hands and said happily.

"The TV station is in Haidian District. How can we get there? There are no buses now."

Qin Huairu was also extremely excited, but the journey to the TV station was not short.

"I'll go to the front yard and ask Carpenter Wang to borrow a tricycle. I'll carry you two over."

Bang Geng turned around and left again. This great opportunity must not be missed! Otherwise, it would be gone forever.

"Let's go, let's go quickly. As soon as you meet Huairu tonight, you must grab her tightly, even if you have to tie her up."

Jia Zhang wrapped herself in a square scarf and put on cotton gloves, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law followed Bang Geng out of the west wing.

When the neighbors in the front yard saw that it was so late on New Year's Eve and the Jia family still came to borrow a tricycle to go out, they all came over to ask them where they were going.

"Let's go pick up Huaihua! Have you watched TV? The little girl playing the piano is Huaihua." Jia Zhang introduced proudly.

Haha! My Jia family is starting to make a name for itself! As long as Huaihua comes home, won’t she let Zhang Xiaohua do whatever she wants?
