Sound of Rebirth

The feeling of four or fifty people gathered together was more lively than An knew and expected.Her sense of hearing is sharper than that of ordinary people, and when she stays in the living room, she feels that her ears are buzzing, and she is never quiet for a moment.

This feeling is actually not good, but An Zhi felt a wonderful peace of mind when he was in it.

Although noisy, maybe this is the feeling of home?It was something she had never experienced since she was a child.Although being with Shen Yanru is also very good, she has already managed the residence of the two of them as her own home, but the excitement and popularity of this kind of gathering of many people is something that the two of them will not have no matter how hard they work. of.

In fact, An Zhizhi hadn't recognized all these relatives until now.Firstly, there were too many people, and secondly, some came here in a hurry today. The time was too short, and everyone was gathered together, so it was difficult to greet them one by one.However, people of the same generation who are not much different in age can almost recognize each other.

The main reason is that Shen Yanru helped introduce her, and everyone gave her face.

Unexpectedly, Dahua was unanimously welcomed here.After listening to them talking for a while, An Zhixiao realized that after Zhang Chongyuan came back, Haosheng boasted about Dahua and vowed to raise a cat that was equally smart.The whole family knew about this incident, but Zhang Chongyuan obviously failed to fulfill his wish in the end.

So even though he wasn't here now, he was indirectly doing An Zhixiao a favor.With a common topic, everyone will immediately become familiar with each other, at least they will be able to talk.

Besides An Zhizhi, Shen Yanru had two other cousins ​​who brought their girlfriends home.Both of these two family members have met, and the marriage has been settled.In comparison, An Zhizhi still has the meaning of "unidentified concubine".

But because of this, An Zhizhi didn't receive much attention. After all, no matter how many people there were, it would be much better if the firepower was spread over three people.She's still the one who gets more attention though.

What surprised An Zhixiao was that she was noticed not because she was the same gender as Shen Yanru, but because of her occupation.

I heard that she is a singer. Some of Shen Yanru's cousins ​​showed great interest and showed kindness to her. Some of them even heard her songs, but some of them didn't show it on their faces. , but it was hard to hide the sense of superiority and the contempt in his eyes when facing her.

An Zhizhi didn't find it strange.

When there are too many people, they will always be divided into relatives and distant relatives.Not to mention that Shen Yanru didn't grow up here after all, and he was not close to these brothers and sisters except Zhang Chongyuan and Cao Jingyun. Even if they grew up together, they might not all be on good terms.

Besides, despite the time period of contact, it can be seen that Shen Yanru is very important in Grandpa Shen's heart.After all, she is the eldest son and daughter-in-law, but she didn't grow up with her. The elders feel a little guilty towards her, and they will inevitably be biased in some aspects.

In fact, as far as An Zhizhi was concerned, this bias was actually a sign of unfamiliarity.However, after all, Shen Yanru has benefited, but in some people's eyes, she is the only favorite, and it is normal to feel unbalanced.

Shen Yanru dealt with it calmly, but An Zhixiao just pretended not to see it.When others give her kindness, she will continue.If the other party doesn't like her, she doesn't have to be too attentive.

On the contrary, the eyes of the elders looking at her are basically soft.

After socializing like this for a whole night, it was past twelve o'clock and the dumplings were finished.At this time, An Zhizhi was already very sleepy.Under Shen Yanru's strict management, her work and rest are very normal, until now she can hardly keep her eyelids open.However, other people were just excited and pulled the table to play cards.

Seeing her nodding her head, Shen Yanru said in a low voice, "Are you sleepy? Why don't you go to sleep first."

One of her cousins ​​smiled and said, "Didn't it mean that the lives of celebrities are very colorful, why are you so sleepy at this time? Could it be that you usually go to bed so early?"

After learning about the schedule that An knew, she screamed again and again, "God, are you still a primary school student?"

"Isn't grandpa also working like this?" Cao Jingyun said coldly from the side.The cousin gritted her teeth and stopped talking.

Shen Yanru glanced at them, pulled An Zhixiao up and left.

When the cold wind blows outside, An Zhixiao is much more awake.She asked Shen Yanru, "Isn't it good for us to leave like this?"

"It's nothing bad, anyway, it's either playing cards or talking high-spirited." After a pause, he continued, "You don't need to care about these, and you don't need to take their attitudes to heart."

"I don't care." An Zhixiao said, "Actually, I quite like this kind of feeling. Although they are a bit targeted, they can't tell how much malice they have. They are just playing tricks on me. This kind of discord between brothers and sisters Balanced psychology, I haven't experienced it yet."

"Then how do you feel now?" Shen Yanru asked her.

An Zhixiao thought for a while and smiled, "It's very tiring. But it's very down-to-earth." After a pause, he added, "But it's fine to feel it once in a while. If you live in this environment every day, you will be in dire straits."

"We will leave in two days." Shen Yanru said.

However, it was too early to say this.

In the next two days, many people came to Shen's house to pay New Year's greetings.Some of them left after being delivered, and they didn't even need Uncle Zhong to entertain them, but some could be ushered in and greeted by Grandpa Shen himself.Others were handed over to juniors at all levels to deal with.

Shen Yanru and An Zhizhi seemed out of place among these people.After all, the two of them don't work in the Shen family's group, and they don't even know a few people here. It's not their turn to entertain, and they have nothing else to do, so they seem to be doing nothing.

An Zhixiao simply didn't go out, and stayed in the room to tease the cat.There were a lot of people outside, and since Shen's house was full of people, An Zhixiao didn't dare to blow it out.After all, it's just a cat, and she can't speak even if she is bullied outside, so she is worried.

Dahua lost her temper because of this. After all, except for the bedroom and the audio-visual room, other places are her territory when she is at home.And every day Shen Yanru and An knew that they would go out for a walk with it, let alone a more comfortable life.So for the past two days, it pointed its tail at An every day to know, and now that it is free, of course it has to coax this master well.

Shen Yanru also stayed in her room and talked to her - they certainly didn't live together when they came here.Shen Yanru has a room in the main house, and An knows that this room is for guests.But Shen Yanru stayed with her most of the time, and would only go back to her room when she was going to sleep.

That day, the two were discussing when to bring them back, and Uncle Zhong came to invite them over, saying that they had guests.

Shen Yanru was a little surprised, "Shall we meet the guests?"

"It's an old friend of the master." Uncle Zhong said, "I told Miss and Miss An to get to know him, and maybe we will have some contact in the future."

But when he was walking towards the main house, he deliberately took a step behind and whispered in Shen Yanru's ear, "It's Mr. Xu."

Mr. Xu is the one that Grandpa Shen said last time that he has a niece who looks very similar to An Zhixiao.Shen Yanru nodded, and she understood. It seems that although An Zhixiao said that her life experience is very clear, Grandpa still did not give up and planned to let the two meet.

When they got to the main room, they saw that besides Grandpa Shen and Ye Qing, there was another person present.He is a silver-haired, hale and hearty old gentleman.Wearing a navy blue Tang suit, his back is straight and he looks very imposing.

However, seeing An Zhizhi, he lost his composure and stood up from his seat.

Grandpa Shen is very satisfied with the effect.He deliberately didn't tell old man Xu who he wanted to meet, just to see his current performance.This old man's city is very deep, when he was young, he was rarely seen changing color, but now that he is older, he is even more of an old fox.It's so satisfying to see him so surprised now!

"Come here, you two, I have met your grandpa Xu." He waved to Shen Yanru and An Zhixiao with a smile on his face.

This Mr. Xu is an old friend of Grandpa Shen for many years. Despite his silver hair, he is actually the same age as Grandpa Shen.Grandpa Shen often laughed at him because he had too many things to worry about, that's why his hair turned gray early.Mr. Xu retorted that he was too out of character, and he looked young when he was in his teens and still looked like a child.

Mr. Xu's niece, Xiang Yujie, is a very talented pianist. Now she lives in Vienna and rarely returns to Los Angeles.Probably because of this, most of their impressions of Xiang Yujie stayed with her when she was young, and when they saw An Zhizhi, they naturally felt very similar.Especially since I heard that An Zhizhi can sing, that's more like it.

Mr. Xu stared at An Zhixiao and asked, "What's the child's name?"

After An knew the answer, he seemed a little disappointed, "Why isn't the surname Xiang?" He asked who her parents were.An Zhixiao felt helpless, but she still answered as detailed as possible.She didn't think she would have any hidden identity, and she hoped that the old men would stop after asking and stop fussing.

But Mr. Xu was not disappointed, and said, "Although you said that your parents can take the test wherever they come from, but what about your grandparents, grandparents? Can they take the test regardless of their place of origin?"

An Zhixiao was taken aback.She really didn't think about it.Grandpa, grandma and grandpa Shen are of the same generation, but it is more likely that they belong to the Xiang family.And... An Zhizhi really didn't know these things.She has never had grandparents since she was born, and she has never heard of the two titles of grandpa and grandma.I just subconsciously think that I don't have it, but why don't I?It's impossible for her parents to jump out of the soil, right?

Seeing her expression, Mr. Xu nodded and said, "At the beginning, they were separated from their Xiang family during the war, but they couldn't find any news afterwards. Maybe some of them went there. Yujie has been sad for this matter for many years, Even now, she still can't let it go. If she can really find a relative, she will feel more relaxed. You child, you must have suffered a lot when you were young, right? It's really hard for you. "

An Zhixiao only felt the tip of his nose sore, and tears almost fell down.

Although she never thought that she had suffered a lot or suffered a lot, and she didn't think there was anything bad about what she had experienced.But the hardships and hardships in this process are not enough for outsiders.

She doesn't want other people's sympathy, she doesn't want other people's pity, because she feels that she is not missing anything.However, when she heard the sentence "It's hard for you" from the elders at this moment, she realized that she didn't care about it.

She also thought about it, and thought about it more than once, if only she had relatives, if only she had someone to rely on.

However, no.

No, so she didn't look forward to it.
