Rebirth and the Beautiful Soaring

Change represents many different things, and Yu Fei saw a kind of expectation in his aunt's eyes.

In this new life, all he wants is to live a happy and fulfilling life. As for achieving something in music or painting, he hasn't really thought about it carefully, because he's afraid he'll let his aunt down.

Besides, his aunt loved this ukulele so much in his past life, how could he possibly "steal her away"?

Of course, the main reason is that the gift is just too valuable.

Perhaps his aunt doesn't know yet, but Yu Fei has been reborn, and he knows the value of this ukulele.

The person my aunt asked to buy the ukulele actually had a crush on her and came from a wealthy family. He claimed that the ukulele, which originally cost 10,000 yuan, only cost 1,000 yuan.

Ten thousand yuan in 1996 was a huge sum of money. You have to understand that at that time, a teacher's monthly salary was only a few hundred yuan, so even a thousand yuan was not a small amount.

Not only that, the value of this ukulele later increased dozens of times because it was handmade from a solid wood made of rare Hawaiian Koa acacia wood. The luthier, Lonig, later became a world-renowned master ukulele maker, and the ukuleles he made before naturally increased in value many times over.

Yu Fei still remembers that more than ten years later, someone offered 600,000 yuan to buy his aunt's ukulele. Of course, his aunt did not sell it because it was something she cherished very much.

So Yu Fei said, "Auntie, of course I like this gift, but I think you should like this ukulele too. I don't know how to play it, so it would be a waste to give it to me. Why don't you keep it for yourself?"

Yu Fei's refusal made Fang Yi feel once again that her nephew was really sensible and knew how to consider other people's feelings. However, on the surface, she did not show her emotions and said with a coquettish snort, "If you don't know how to play, you can learn. Nobody is born knowing how to play this. Auntie doesn't know how to play it yet either! Okay, Auntie said I'd give it to you, so you have to take it whether you want it or not, otherwise you can stop calling me Auntie."

Yu Fei was taken aback by his aunt's last words. He coughed lightly and said, "Cough cough, how could I not call her Aunt? Aunt will always be my most beloved Aunt. I'll accept it, okay?"

"That's more like it!" Fang Yi smiled gently, softening her tone. Then, she changed the subject and said "seriously," "However, just accepting it isn't enough. Your aunt gave you such a wonderful gift, you should at least learn a few songs to repay your aunt, right?"

"Oh, I'll try my best." Yu Fei knew that such a good gift would not be easy to accept, but he was reborn. Although he had not mastered any musical instrument in his previous life, he could play the ukulele. However, he had not put much effort into it back then, so his skill level was rather ordinary.

Fang Yi glared at Yu Fei and said, "What 'oh' and 'try your best'? Don't use such a perfunctory attitude. A real man should be responsible. Answer either YES or NO. YES-OR-NO?"

"YES!" What else could Yu Fei say to his aunt, who taught him English?

“VERY-GOOD!” Fang Yi smiled slyly, with a sense of “successful scheme”, and then handed the ukulele to Yu Fei, saying sweetly, “Take it, feel its small size, cuteness and exquisiteness first.”

Taking the ukulele he had played in his previous life from his aunt's hands, stroking its beautiful flame-shaped soundboard and nylon strings, and listening to the familiar sound as it was gently plucked, Yu Fei was momentarily dazed and fell into a brief state of thought.

I want to live a wonderful and happy life, but what does it mean to be wonderful and happy?

Isn't it just about doing whatever you want and rediscovering those beautiful landscapes you've missed?

What hobbies or interests did you have in your previous life that you didn't get to pursue?

Yu Fei thought of painting and music.

In fact, Yu Fei once had dreams about painting and music.

But when he got a little older, he learned the reason for his parents' divorce, and he began to refuse to enter either of those worlds in a willful way.

The parents met, fell in love, and got to know each other through painting and music. However, they also had disagreements and conflicts because of painting and music, and eventually broke up on bad terms.

Of course, he couldn't have been sensible back then and didn't know that the real reason his parents separated wasn't because of painting and music, but because they failed to adapt to their new roles after marriage and put themselves in the right place.

Dating and marriage are different. If you still view your partner from the perspective of dating, make demands on them, and cannot have a tolerant and understanding attitude, then separation is inevitable.

Now Yu Fei understands these things, so he is no longer as rebellious and willful as he was in his youth, deliberately rejecting painting and music.

Just like in his previous life, when he started learning sketching in his thirties, he also had a good feel for it.

After losing his beloved and reuniting with Lin Yang, Lin Yang, who loved musical instruments, rekindled his passion for music. However, he was too busy with business at the time to tinker with these instruments, so even when he had a heart attack, he was not proficient in any instrument, only able to play a few simple tunes.

When talking about his love of music, Yu Fei naturally couldn't help but think of Zhou Meihua, who loves to sing.

In her previous life, Zhou Meihao studied business management and neither pursued a career in painting nor singing.

Later, when they were dating, Zhou Meihua liked to ask him to go to karaoke. When she was singing happily, she would occasionally mention her regrets. So Yu Fei knew that she really loved music and that even though she hadn't studied it professionally, she sang really well and had won first place in a provincial amateur singing competition.

Since both of my close female friends love music, why not help them realize their dreams? In doing so, my own musical dreams might also come true.

Isn't rebirth about realizing the dreams you couldn't achieve in your previous life and obtaining the wonderful things you couldn't have in your previous life?

After much contemplation, Yu Fei felt that perhaps rekindling his interest in music would be of great help to his future well-being.

As for painting, he had already dabbled in it in his previous life and had a solid foundation in sketching. As for systematically learning traditional Chinese painting or oil painting, he didn't feel that interested. The main reason was that learning to paint required too much time, and painting required quiet and frequent sketching trips, which was somewhat contrary to his desire for a beautiful life with his family.

Therefore, when it came to painting and music, he chose music after a little thought, which was also his way of making choices.

Lin Yang loves the double keyboard, Zhou Meihua loves singing, and with her own small and exquisite ukulele, the three of them singing together is truly a great joy in life, it can only be described as "Meihua soaring".

Beautiful and vibrant? Is this a coincidence? There are actually three people's names in this.

It is the will of Heaven!

Yu Fei secretly made up his mind that he must realize this beautiful and soaring dream in his life.
