love like wind

Seeing Yang Jiayu's slender wrists, playing a few notes with joy, and laughing from time to time, Xu Li felt very warm in his heart.He knew from a few words that Yang Jiayu's intelligence was lower than that of ordinary people, but he thought Yang Jiayu was a normal person, just like now, she was so happy and naughty, how could she be an imbecile.

Xu Li guessed that Yang Jiayu must just be bad at doing arithmetic problems, because when she did her math homework, her eyebrows began to knot. She had such a sweet face, but her complexion seemed to be covered with bitter melon slices.

With such certainty, Xu Li completely regarded her as his younger sister.

Many years later, when Xu Li played four hands with Yang Jiayu and received thunderous applause, he realized that on an ordinary winter afternoon when he was young, he became her music mentor, which was tantamount to saving Yang Jiayu; With great regret in his heart, Yang Jiayu accepted the warmth and tenderness that was never given to Xu Lan, and completely healed Xu Li in a way that did not show any trace.

Seeing the children enjoying themselves happily, Xu Ying was very relieved. He thought Yang Jiayou would be bored and hid in his room to play games, but he was sitting on the floor with a drawing book on his lap, reading quietly. It was Yang Jiayou's previous sleep. Before reading, Dad would tell him stories.

The sound of ding ding dong dong came from my ears, and my younger sister Yang Jiayu laughed from time to time, Yang Jiayou felt very peaceful in his heart.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, he is not keen on the role of elder brother, because he also needs the love of his father and mother. Considering the special situation of his younger sister, he has already retreated again and again, and he doesn't care about many things so much. He couldn't stand being with his sister all day long.

Xu Li came just in time, and Yang Jiayou felt that he could finally catch his breath.

As long as he is there, my mother will not be biased towards my sister as before.

Yang Jiayou looked down at the picture book, a bright red strawberry was drawn on it, he licked his lips subconsciously, thinking of the strawberry that Yang Jiayu dropped on the ground on his birthday, it was so beautiful, he didn’t even take a bite, it just disappeared ,it's a pity.

The storage room was temporarily cleaned out, Xu Ying sorted out some sundries, threw away everything that should be thrown away, and found that the room was quite spacious.The storage room is under the stairs in the hall, and the eaves are slightly lowered due to the existence of the stairs, but Sheng opened the window facing south, so the light is still good in summer.If the broken lamp is fixed, the room must be bright.

This afternoon, Yang Jiayu kept pestering Xu Li and asked him to play one after another. She sat beside him with her feet close together, nodding her head from time to time, quietly admiring, she loved these sounds very much, I imagined that one day I could be like Brother Xu Li.

Apart from finishing homework during the winter vacation, Yang Jiayu would go to the storage room every day and press the piano to tinkle. Sometimes when Xu Li was doing homework upstairs, she would be alone and could play in front of the piano all afternoon.

Xu Ying also found that her daughter was a little unusual, and after discussing with her husband Yang Zhenhua, she planned to hire a piano teacher with Yang Jiayu to teach her to play the piano systematically at home.

This time, Mom and Dad asked softly, "Jiayu, do you like piano?"

Yang Jiayu hid behind the chair, "It's okay, what's the matter?" In fact, she still remembered the last birthday at her grandmother's house.The female teacher who taught the piano looked so serious. She insisted on letting her sit in front of the piano and pulling her hand out. She didn't know the teacher, so she just didn't extend her hand.

Grandma was persuading, and parents were also watching, Yang Jiayu felt very uncomfortable.

Are mom and dad trying to trick her into sitting in front of the piano again?

Xu Ying smiled, "Brother Xu Li plays well?"

Yang Jiayu pouted, "Well, very good."

"Then do you want to learn?" Yang Zhenhua pointed to Xu Li's room, "You can play the same as brother Xu Li."

Yang Jiayu's eyes lit up, her mouth was faster than her brain: "I want to!" However, she regretted a little, "I don't want to learn alone, I'm afraid." It seemed to imply that Xu Li would study with her, because staying with Xu Li, Make her feel comfortable.

Xu Ying understood: "Brother Xu Li will be in the second year of junior high school after the summer vacation, and he is busy with homework. Besides, your foundation is different from his."

Yang Jiayu was picking at the small hole on the back of the chair, and she had ground a round hole in that place, the size of a fingernail. Every time she got nervous, she would hide behind the chair and continue to grind the hole subconsciously.

She frowned, "What should I do, I don't want to learn alone."

"Why don't I ask my brother to accompany you." Yang Zhenhua suggested.

Yang Jiayu said angrily: "Him? He can't sit still for a moment, thinking about playing football every day."

Yang Jiayou's voice came from upstairs, "Why should I accompany you, I don't want to learn, I'm so boring." In his opinion, playing the piano is like a monk chanting scriptures, sitting there can't move, and Yang Jiayou needs to stay in the piano room. One day is equivalent to suffocating him.

Xu Ying couldn't help laughing, so she had to call Xu Li downstairs and explain the situation.

Xu Li stood beside Yang Jiayu, with a faint smile on his mouth, "It's okay, after school, I can practice with Jiayu, besides, I also like piano very much."

Yang Jiayu looked up at Xu Li, and quietly nodded in agreement.

The adults breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter of hiring a piano teacher for Yang Jiayu was settled.

Since she wants to learn the piano, she must clean up her house. The piano must not be placed in the hall, because Yang Jiayu is afraid of noise and doesn't like people walking around her. This is why she complained about Yang Jiayou's loud voice before.

After thinking about it, Yang Zhenhua and his wife decided to renovate the storage room and get rid of some non-essential items. The old piano was not thrown away, but it was placed near the window, covered with a dust cloth, and a music box was placed on it.After tidying up the bookcases, the children's books are neatly arranged by category, and several compartments have been vacated. This is good, and they can be used to display Yang Jiayu's music teaching materials.

It took more than two months to remove trivial matters and redecorate, and a piano room was ready.

It was the evening in March when the key was handed to Yang Jiayu, her parents were standing behind her, Yang Jiayou was watching the fun, Xu Li smiled and looked at her, Yang Jiayu was a little nervous, when the key was put into the keyhole, there was a crisp sound of unlocking in her ears, Gently pushed open the door, the light came on——

The rural style of log color, the curtains were replaced with light wheat color, and the new piano was completely black, waiting for her like a gentleman.

With tears in Yang Jiayu's eyes, she looked back at her parents timidly. Xu Ying bent down and said, "Jiayu, go and have a look, then you are Qinqin."

"Mine?" Yang Jiayu couldn't believe it.

Yang Jiayou rolled his eyes, and imitated his younger sister's speech: "Is it mine?" He made a tongue-sticking expression as he spoke.

Xu Ying stared at her son, and gave Yang Jiayou a wink, signaling him to calm down a bit.

Yang Zhenhua encouraged her: "Jiayu, go in and have a look."

Yang Jiayu found Xu Li's hand from between his parents and grabbed his wrist, "Brother Xu Li will come in with me."

The adults stepped aside, seeing Yang Jiayu tugging at Xu Li's sleeve, the two of them, who were about a head in height, walked towards the piano.

Xu Li and Yang Jiayu sat side by side on the solid wood piano chair. He gently opened the piano cover, and brand new piano keys appeared in front of him.

Time was extremely quiet, gently touching the black and white keys like flowing water.

Xu Li stretched out his hands, "Jiayu, put your hand on the back of my hand."

Yang Jiayu was a little nervous, thinking that such a beautiful piano would be broken by herself, she swallowed, "You play, I will watch from the side."

"It's okay." Xu Li gently pulled Yang Jiayu's hand over and placed it on the back of his hand. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Jiayu, are you ready?"

Yang Jiayu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she wanted to say 'not yet', but before she could think about it, Xu Li's fingers had already started to move, her brain was buzzing, and the palm of her hand was pressed against the back of his hand, sometimes soothing, sometimes rushing, full of fluidity wandering freely on the black and white keys.

She tried her best to capture those voices, wishing to engrave every sound in her mind.

Her gaze stayed on the black and white keyboard, and she felt the beauty of music with Xu Li's strength.She couldn't help crying, because no one had ever been so gentle to her before. Although her parents were nice and her brother wasn't that bad, Yang Jiayu felt very unhappy.Everyone is making rules for her to be a qualified child.

Xu Li is not like this, he is very quiet and patient, he will not draw such a frame for her, he can only follow along with peace of mind, just like now, he doesn't have to think so much, just put his palm lightly on the back of his hand, and he can be real feel the music.

At the end of the song, Xu Li smiled, "The new piano is great, Jiayu, you should take good care of it."

She sniffed, "I know."

"Learning the piano is very boring, especially at the beginner stage. You need to practice for several hours every day, and it will be effective after a long time."

Yang Jiayu said: "I'm not afraid!"

Xu Li smiled and stretched out his little finger, "I can't go back on my word."

"Don't go back on your word!" She hooked him cooperatively.

Yang Jiayou lay on the edge of the door and watched, completely puzzled, why Yang Jiayu and Xu Li stayed together, as if he had completely changed himself.Lovely, brave, and determined than before.

Xu Li also said: "You also need to study music theory knowledge systematically. These teachers will teach you. Only after you have learned these things can you play like today."

Yang Jiayu raised her face and hesitated, "Can I do well?" As she said that, she lowered her head in self-blame. In fact, she was very aware of the fact that she was always at the bottom of the class, although she would not be sad about her grades. , but my mother will frown when she reads the report card.

When mother frowns, she will be sad.

Xu Li's expression eased, "You have to ask yourself."

"Me?" Yang Jiayu pouted, "I can't do anything well," she looked back at Yang Jiayou, Yang Jiayou quickly avoided, she lowered her eyebrows, "I'm not as smart as my brother."

But Xu Li said: "Learning the piano is not only about cleverness, but persistence is the most important thing." What's more, it's not for becoming a master.

"Persistence?" Yang Jiayu looked like a discouraged ball, "I don't seem to be persistent in doing things, and it always sucks."

Xu Li lightly pressed a white key, and the crisp sound echoed in the air, "Isn't the opportunity now?"

Yang Jiayu took a deep breath and heard Xu Li continue to say: "You have to catch it."

"And then?" Yang Jiayou raised his head.

Xu Li looked at her, "Prove that I'm not that bad." He thought for a while and then said, "Jiayu, you have to believe in yourself."

Yang Jiayu stopped talking.

"Are you ready?" Xu Li asked again.

This time, Yang Jiayu heard it clearly, and she said quietly: "Get ready, no matter how boring it is, I will persevere."

Yang Jiayou outside the door made an Amen gesture, he really admired Xu Li, parents sometimes can't handle Yang Jiayu, Xu Li can calm Yang Jiayu down with a few words, God bless.
