love like wind

The storage room was quiet, and the dust swirled in the air, as if dancing to the sound of the piano.

The first half of the song was played rather jerky, but the further the song went, the better the rhythm was controlled. This is a piece that Xu Li likes very much.He learned piano at the age of 7. At that time, his mother had not passed away, and although his father was busy with work, the family enjoyed a lot of fun.

When my mother is free, she loves to listen to him play the piano, she looks calm, and said that when she married her father, she didn't have much money, and the wedding was not held, but she just invited colleagues and friends who are familiar with the unit to dinner.My mother said that after listening to the music he played, she could see the wedding scene as soon as she closed her eyes.

Later, the family situation improved, and my father's income gradually increased. He wanted to hold a make-up wedding for my mother, but my mother didn't agree. She just went to a photo studio to take a wedding photo with my father, and saved the rest of the money.

That year, my mother was still pregnant with her younger sister, her belly was swollen, she was wearing a special wedding dress, her right hand was holding her father's, and her smile was happy and touching.Dad was in a suit and leather shoes, and Xu Li was standing in the middle in a handsome little suit, holding his mother's skirt like a flower girl.

I usually take piano lessons, usually in art training classes, where there are many grand pianos standing silently in the classroom, as silent as jazz.At that time, my mother was not sure whether he could persist, so the family first bought a second-hand upright piano.

After my mother passed away, the purchase of a new piano was put on hold.Xu Li is still learning for nearly three years. His father will pick him up when he is not busy, but his interest in playing has greatly diminished. Xu Li is almost familiar with the song "Dream Wedding". But never played again.

After the news of Dad's death came, he covered the piano with a dust cloth.

What's the fun in playing if there's no one to listen?It will only make people more and more uncomfortable.

I don't know when Xu Li became a child who couldn't cry. He didn't cry, and he didn't have many joyful smiles. He was very calm, like a lake that had just frozen. Fragile.

Xu Li thought silently, the time will pass faster, just like the deepening of winter, the lake will always form thick ice.Dad used to say that the Songhua River was frozen for more than ten meters, and he could drive a sports car on the river.

Then, he will also usher in the moment when the lake water in his life condenses.

At that time, he will definitely become a man of indomitable spirit, with solid shoulders, and bravely and persistently go forward to find his lost sister who was lost in childhood.

If you get it back, you will definitely get your sister back.

Xu Li's teardrops fell quietly on the piano keyboard, and the storage room was dimly lit, so no one noticed the tears.

After the song was over, Yang Jiayu moved closer, "Brother Xu Li, can you still play the piano? That's amazing!" She applauded happily, and the light in her eyes began to shine. She felt that Xu Li's whole body was shining, and she really wanted to touch him. Touch those black and white keys.

"Can you teach me?" Yang Jiayu bent down to look at the piano, pressed her index finger lightly, and the crisp sound echoed in the air, making her look forward to it even more, "This, how do you play this, why did you It can be played so well."

Xu Ying smiled and said, "Jiayu, have you forgotten that you have been in contact with it before? Grandma said that asking you to sit in front of the piano is like killing you. You won't even stretch out your hands. It's useless to say anything."

Yang Jiayu hesitated and said, "I, I don't remember, when did that happen."

Yang Jiayou squatted on the ground, raised his chin and said, "Did you forget when you were nine years old? Grandma celebrated your birthday." He rolled his eyes and was speechless at Yang Jiayu's forgetfulness. At that time, he wanted to eat As a result, Yang Jiayu cried and made a fuss because of the piano, and she swept the biggest strawberry to the ground.Yang Jiayou frowned at that time, squatted on the ground, and stared at the strawberry for a long time.

Xu Li said softly: "I learned a little bit when I was young, but after I had more homework, I didn't continue to practice."

Yang Jiayu blinked, tilted her head and asked, "Aren't you a child now? You are as old as my brother." She turned her head to look at Yang Jiayou, wondering why he was so serious again, and said angrily, "He often Had a nightmare, woke up with fright, and asked his father to sleep with him."

"Yang Jiayu!" Yang Jiayou blushed, and raised his voice, "Who wants daddy to accompany you, you are the kid who needs mommy to coax you, and mommy to chase after you with a rice bowl after eating!"

"I don't! I don't like others feeding me, I can eat it myself," Yang Jiayu didn't show any weakness, and looked at his brother angrily, "Every time there is so much rice, I can't finish it."

"Okay, okay," Xu Ying walked between them with a smile, "You two are arguing again, didn't the atmosphere just now be good? Why are you getting awkward again?" She said, holding her daughter's hand, " You go and ask brother Xu Li, what exactly do you need to play a good tune."

Xu Ying looked at her son with a soft tone, "Jiayou, there is a lot of dust on the ground, don't sit on the ground."

The tip of Yang Jiayou's nose was sore. Before he quarreled with his sister, his mother never asked him how he felt, as if he should let his sister take it for granted. The more he was like this, the more he felt dissatisfied with Yang Jiayu.

Hearing what his mother said, Yang Jiayou turned his face away, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of getting dirty."

Everyone in the room laughed, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Xu Ying continued to tidy up the house. Xu Li moved a stool over and let Yang Jiayu sit in front of the piano while he stood aside and taught her a few basic fingerings. In order to let her experience the fun of playing, he taught her a few Yang Jiayu played the simple rhythm very happily.

"You sit too, why don't you sit?" Yang Jiayu glanced behind him, there were still many chairs in the living room, "I'll move—"

Xu Li pressed her shoulder lightly, "The entrance is relatively narrow, and it will be inconvenient for everyone to enter and exit after placing two chairs."

"Then what should I do?" Yang Jiayu raised her face and looked at him with a frown. Soon, she smiled slyly and moved to the side, "I see, you sit here and come with me!" As she spoke, she patted Take the vacant seat and let Xu Li sit down with her.

Xu Li turned his head subconsciously, and found that Aunt Xu and Yang Jiayou were busy with other things, and didn't pay attention to what they were doing.

Xu Li sat down carefully, Yang Jiayu was very happy, for some reason, looking at her smiling face, Xu Li always thought of his sister.Since the mother passed away when the younger sister was born, it was inconvenient for the grandma to take care of the newborn alone. The family hired a nanny aunt. Xu Li remembered that the aunt was surnamed Zhang. She was very kind. Has a light fragrance.

That day, Aunt Zhang pushed the stroller and went for a walk with grandma, but when she came back, her sister was gone.

Many policemen also came to the house, and Aunt Zhang explained in a flustered manner: "After we bought the fruit, we walked back together and stayed in the park for a while. At that time, the old lady was looking at the stroller. I went to the square to buy balloons. Because children will laugh when they see balloons, and within ten minutes, when I came back, the old lady and the children were gone.”

The police called out the surveillance cameras near the square, and found that the old lady was walking back alone pushing the stroller, crossing the road, and the surveillance cameras did not capture their whereabouts.From then on, Xu Li also knew that grandma had Alzheimer's disease, that is, senile dementia.

Where did my sister go?

A one-year-old child can't even speak, how can he find his way home?

As a result, grandma's condition became more serious. Sometimes she forgot to cook and sat in the place where her sister disappeared for a day.

Xu Li was panicked at first, but later he got used to it, only to realize that his grandma often went to those places, parks, squares, and vendors who liked to watch balloons, and stayed there for a whole day without eating or drinking.

Later, Xu Li begged grandma, "Grandma, let's go home, Lanlan is at home."

My sister's name is Xu Lan, which was chosen by my mother.

"Lan Lan is back home?" Grandma smiled, pointing to the distance and said, "Then, I'll go buy a balloon, Lan Lan likes balloons."

Since then, Xu Mingda has hired many nannies and aunts one after another, but when he heard that the previous aunts were almost considered child abductors because they took care of their grandparents and grandchildren, no one wanted to go to their house.

Xu Mingda was busy with work at the time, so he didn't think about remarriage. The matter just dragged on. He could only find ways to reduce his work, go home more, and take care of his son and elderly mother.

Aunt Xu Mingju would come occasionally, but grandma's emotions would become more intense, blaming her for being ignorant when she was a girl.

Xu Li withdrew his thoughts, and took a panoramic view of Yang Jiayu's smile. She also had a faint almond milk smell, like shampoo, and face cream. These smells mixed together, it smells very good.

If my sister is not lost, she should be younger than Yang Jiayu, and he is seven years older than Xu Lan.

Xu Li remembered Xu Lan's appearance when she was a child. There was a hundred-day photo of her at home, with a big red dot on her forehead and a goose-yellow bib around her neck, smiling happily.However, the fire burned most of the things in the house, but fortunately the door of Xu Li and grandma's bedroom was closed.Xu Li went back to see that Uncle Yang had someone clean the house, but he could still see traces of the fire-smoked ceiling.

Uncle Yang and his aunt accompanied him home that day. Except for completing the relevant procedures, before leaving, Uncle Yang asked him if he had anything he wanted to bring. Except for a change of clothes and daily necessities, Xu Li didn't bring anything.

The anti-theft door closed dully, and it was locked together with nostalgia for mother, concern for father, distress for grandma, and guilt for sister.

He didn't know what Xu Lan would look like when he grew up, he couldn't imagine it.

But when he saw Yang Jiayu, Xu Li seemed to have a feeling that his younger sister would also like Yang Jiayu, who loved to wear dresses and didn't like to tie her hair up on weekends. She was messing around at home with her unkempt hair, like a naughty pony.

At the age of changing teeth, he bared his teeth and laughed like a silver bell.

I like to appear suddenly, and come up to you with all my teeth and claws. When I see you being frightened, I am so happy to roll on the sofa.

After grandma passed away, Xu Li seldom cried, because the doctor said that grandma's eyesight declined sharply later because she cried too much and broke her eyes.No matter what he posted, Xu Li told himself not to cry bitterly. He had to keep a pair of bright eyes, find his younger sister Xu Lan from the crowd, and take good care of her just like Yang Jiayu did.

When he couldn't sleep at night, Xu Li would not deliberately miss his parents or grandma, because they had already left completely, so it was useless to think about it.The younger sister Xu Lan is different, she must still be living in this world, quietly growing up in a corner that Xu Li doesn't know about.
