Indiscriminate

I feel sorry and sorry for the dean's mother.

The dean's mother couldn't help showing dissatisfaction, even if it was only for a moment, it was still clearly seen by Shi Shi.

But later she became as kind as usual, and told him the good news: a very famous local calligrapher and painter wanted to adopt him as an adopted son. One day before, when Shi Shi was playing with the children in the yard, Calligraphers and painters have already seen him.Calligraphers and painters like him very much and are willing to give him the best life. In the future, let alone shaved ice, even big cream cakes can be eaten if they want.

So in Shi Shi's impression, the first impression of this adoptive father was red bean shaved ice and cream cake, but these were not the same as the eerie atmosphere in the corridor of the orphanage.

He didn't know how long they had been talking about before finally completing the handover.He fell asleep in the chair.

It was his adoptive father who pushed him to wake him up, and what Shi Shi saw was a handsome face, and his voice was gentle and full of magnetism, saying: "Shi Shi, go home with Dad."

"Huh? Why is there no one at home?" Suddenly, a bright and cheerful voice woke up Shi Shilei who was in a daze.

When he came back to his senses, he saw a family of three walking in from the outside.Shi Shilei, the woman who entered the house, remembered that she was the woman who La Fu Qinruo went on a blind date that day.He suddenly realized that it was Fu Qinruo's aunt who grandpa said was coming back for dinner.

"Hello." Shi Shilei stood up quickly, but the chair moved back with a sound.

Seeing a stranger at home, Fu Qiying looked at him strangely, and was suddenly taken aback, as if she saw something so ridiculous, she couldn't help but said, "It's really a happy reunion today."

When Shi Shilei heard this, she didn't mean it originally. However, she is Fu Qinruo's family member, so she couldn't argue with it, so she smiled politely: "Hello."

"Hello." Fu Qiying smiled, and turned her head to the little girl who was following behind, "Hello, brother."

The little girl is only five or six years old, more like her father, with big eyes, a chubby baby fat, raised her face and blinked her eyes twice, and stuck to her mother's legs in embarrassment, with a soft voice: "Hi brother."

Shi Shilei squatted down: "Hello."

"Where's Qinruo?" Fu Qiying said, walked to the study, knocked on the door twice, and shouted inside, "Dad, Mom, we're back."

The old lady's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Shi Shilei turned around quickly.

The door wasn't opened very far, and Fu Qiying went in with half of it left.Before entering the door, she turned her head and explained to her husband: "You and Sisi wait for a while, I will go in and talk to my parents."

The moment she turned around and entered the door, Shi Shilei saw Fu Qinruo.

But he didn't see Shi Shilei.

With his back to the door, Fu Qinruo knelt down in front of the old gentleman.

After the door closed again, Shi Shilei was even more embarrassed.Fortunately, he has many personnel, this situation is not difficult for him.He saw that the little girl was still standing in front of him, not a bit afraid of facing strangers, but he looked very curious, her eyes flickering.

"Your name is Sisi?" Shi Shilei smiled at her, "It's similar to my brother's name. My name is Shi Shi."

Sisi tilted her head to look at him, and grinned: "Brother Shi Shi."

"You are so good!" Shi Shilei knew that children were just those types, raised his hand to touch her head, and asked, "How old are you? What grade are you in?"

It was her father who asked beside him, "Did you come here today?"

Shi Shilei raised his head, facing the gentle face of an intellectual, stood up and said, "Yes."

With a lukewarm attitude, he touched his pocket and apologized, "I didn't bring my business card today. - Gao Yi. I teach at Normal University."

A teacher who can print business cards is probably not an ordinary teacher.Shi Shilei was a little surprised why the child was so young at their age, but he didn't express his doubts. After shaking hands with him, he said, "Mr. Gao is good. Shi Shilei is still studying at the Academy of Fine Arts."

Hearing his self-introduction, Gao Yi wasn't surprised at all. He gave Shi Shilei an intriguing look and said, "No wonder we get along well with Qin Ruo." Anyone can get along well. My son is about the same age as you. He is academic. When they were still in Hangzhou, they had a good relationship. Qin Ruoqian is a gentleman, good Gu Minsi, but all smart people like to be with smart people. Topic. Ordinary people also like to lean close to smart people, so that they can appear to be smart people too. Don’t you think so?”

Shi Shilei smiled inwardly when he heard what he said casually, pretending not to understand, and asked curiously, "Where did Sisi's brother go?"

Gao Yi smiled, as if a little humble: "I am studying as a graduate student in the United States."

"It's amazing!" Shi Shilei praised without hesitation, and said, "It must be taught well at home."

I thought that a few words of flattery would ease the relationship between the two, but Gao Yi said, "Where is it? What about your father Lingtang? I heard that you are a calligraphy student, so you should be from a famous family?"

Shi Shilei suddenly felt a little impatient, thinking that his so-called "heard" should also be what Liu Tiannan said, so he pursed his lips and said vaguely: "Nor..."

"You don't need to accompany us specially. It's rare that there is a lantern festival today. After dinner, take Sisi out to have fun." Fortunately, at this time, grandma came out of the study.

As soon as Gao Yi saw his mother-in-law coming out, he turned his attention away and walked over to greet him earnestly: "Mom."

"Yeah." Grandma Fu bent down and waved to her granddaughter with a smile, "Sisi."

The little girl ran over: "Grandma is good~"

Seeing that Fu Qinruo also came out, Shi Shilei knew that they had finished talking, so he kept staring at him until Fu Qinruo nodded to him, and he was slightly relieved.

Now that everyone is gathered, Grandma Fu looked at everyone and said with a smile, "What are you doing standing there? Why should you go? Come and cook dinner with me, Qiying."

"Okay." Fu Qiying followed the old lady into the kitchen, turned her head and smiled at Shi Shilei, "Shi Shi, too."

Shi Shilei was walking towards Fu Qinruo, wanting to talk to him, when he heard her shout, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

In this way, she laughed at her: "It's really gluey. Why don't you say it now? There will be plenty of time in the future."

Shi Shilei didn't like it, and he couldn't show it. He was about to follow up the kitchen patiently, but was stopped by Fu Qinruo.

He was happy to stay with Fu Qinruo, seeing that they were gone, he quickly bent down to pat the wrinkles on Fu Qinruo's knees, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I didn't say much." Fu Qinruo said with a smile, "From now on, it's enough to make this place your home. Later, I will give you a house key."

Shi Shilei said pleasantly: "And the house key?"

"Yeah. But you have to be more or less active to make them like you more." Fu Qinruo said.

He pouted his mouth: "They already liked me very much."

"Really?" he asked with a half-smile.

Shi Shilei exhaled, and couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Your aunt and uncle look very difficult."

Fu Qinruo sighed, "Don't blame them either. Liu Tiannan is from my uncle's house, and it's embarrassing for them to be caught in the middle."

"Is it better to kiss more?" Shi Shilei couldn't help mocking.

He didn't pay attention to this sentence, just said: "You go to help cook first? Let's go to see the lanterns in the evening."

Upon hearing this, Shi Shilei's scalp became numb, and he complained, "I don't know how to cook."

Fu Qinruo blinked in surprise, as if he thought it was strange that he was an orphan and couldn't cook, but he didn't ask: "It's good to help choose vegetables, don't be idle. And look, isn't my aunt and grandma inside? Don't you be afraid They are alone, and aunt speaks ill of you?"

Hearing this, Shi Shilei's eyes widened, without saying a word: "Then I'll go!"

When I walked to the kitchen, I saw Fu Qiying saying something in grandma's ear. Grandma replied unhappily: "Which child doesn't have any desires at this age? But anyone who likes it is a matter of course. It's in your own home, what's there to say?"

"The problem is that Qinruo still had a marriage contract on him at that time." Fu Qiying said brokenly, "You don't know how hard it is for me to be a man when this incident gets into our work unit. Although Qinruo is not from our family, it can be involved in this pile……"

"Who said Qin Ruo didn't belong to our family?" Grandma Fu said seriously, "You can't get tired of saying this for more than twenty years? My old ears are getting callused."

"Mom..." From the corner of her eyes, Fu Qiying saw that Shi Shilei had come to the door, she was startled, she turned around and said with a smile, "Shi Shi, are you a cat? You don't make a sound when you walk, and you like to eavesdrop on people's conversations."

Shi Shilei stood at the door and pursed his lips: "I'm sorry. I didn't find a chance to interrupt just now."

He made such a sincere apology, but Fu Qiying didn't know how to deal with it. She pulled out a not-so-good smile and said, "Don't be so polite, I'm joking with you, and I take it seriously. Come in and help me, you can't be so ostentatious." .”

Grandma Fu nodded and smiled at him, picked up a Xinmei after he walked over, and asked, "Can you peel it?"

Shi Shilei quickly took it over: "Yes."

"Take two, just cut them here." She found a knife for Shi Shilei, "Be careful, don't hurt your hand." After speaking, she found that Shi Shilei had a band-aid on her hand, and quickly took the knife and vegetables Taking it away from him, he grabbed his hand and said with pity, "How did you get hurt?"

He touched the back of his head: "I hurt it while practicing the piano."

"It's the Fang Qin brought back by Qin Ruo?" Grandma Fu looked at him nodding, still looking kindly, then looked at his hands and said, "It's good to practice hard, but don't be in a hurry. If you don't like it, don't worry about it." Practice, save time to do something you like to do.”

Shi Shilei shook his head hastily: "I like it."

"He sharpened his gun before the battle, right?" Fu Qiying laughed beside him, "Look at these fingers are as tender as peeling onion roots. If you practice often, you will grow calluses."

With a block in his heart, he hurriedly took his hands away and put his back behind his back, and lowered his head.

After a while, Shi Shilei quietly looked up at Grandma Fu.

Grandma still had a smile on her face. Seeing him like this, she burst out laughing, raised her hand and pinched his face, "It's enough to have this kind of intention. I don't want you to really learn anything. Look at Qin Ruo Isn’t it half a bucket of water, it’s still my own grandson.” She raised her chin outside, “Go outside and play with Qin Ruo and the others. Your hand is injured too, so don’t work.”

Shi Shilei heard Fu Qiying say that just now, how dare he be lazy?I still took the knife and vegetables in my hand, and said, "It's okay, it's just a small injury. I'll go outside to peel it, and it will be quick." After finishing speaking, without waiting for grandma to say anything, she took a basket and walked out.

Fu Qinruo was watching his grandfather and uncle playing Go in the yard, and nodded to him when he saw him coming out with a basket.

Instead, Sisi watched impatiently and ran over to sit with Shi Shilei on the threshold and chat with him.

"What grade are you in?" Shi Shilei peeled the skin into the basket and continued the topic just now.

"Second grade." Sisi sat with her face in her hands and asked, "Brother Shi Shi, how about you?"

He thought for a while, then smiled, "I'm also in the second grade."

The little girl's eyes were as big as copper bells, and her mouth was round: "We are the same!"

"It's different." For some reason, Shi Shilei said casually, "You have the pain of your parents, but I don't."

Sisi blinked her eyes and said, "But grandpa and grandma love you very much. Uh... my cousin also loves you very much."

The knife in Shi Shilei's hand suddenly stopped, and he thought for a while before realizing that her cousin was Fu Qinruo, and asked her with a smile, "How do you know that your cousin loves me?"

"He asked me to come and chat with you." Sisi racked her brains, "He also said to buy me chocolates. He never bought them for me before."

Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat, he raised his head to look at Fu Qinruo, and saw that he was just sitting next to the chess board watching the chess with his chin in his hands, pursed his lips, and said quietly to Sisi: "You should go and accompany him, I will also I'll buy you some chocolate."

Sisi looked at him strangely, then at Fu Qinruo, probably the last thing she thought of was two chocolates, so she got up and ran back to Fu Qinruo's side.

Although the two radishes were not peeled very well, they were still peeled out by him.Shi Shilei thought that grandma wouldn't blame him for cutting it nondescriptly. After all, he would cut it up and put it in the pot for frying, so he picked up the basket and went back to the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, Fu Qiying was the only one left in the kitchen.He hesitated at the door, but she had already turned her head and saw him: "So soon? Bring it in. Wash it, put it here and cut it."

Although Shi Shilei was not used to being manipulated by someone he just met, after taking it, he silently turned on the water purifier and washed the two radishes.

"Hey, how did you cut it like this?" Fu Qiying looked at it, squinted and smiled, "You don't usually work at home, do you?"

He smiled naively, saw a vegetable leaf left on a cutting board, and knew it was for cutting vegetables, so he took it and washed it under the faucet, and asked, "Where is grandma?"

"The student called to say hello, but he answered the phone." Fu Qiying didn't let him take the topic away, "I heard from Qin Ruo that you grew up in an orphanage?"

Knowing that Fu Qinruo must have made a confession just now, and didn't know what he said, Shi Shilei thought about it in his heart, and answered vaguely: "Yes."

"This is weird. I thought children would be more independent without their parents. Hehe, don't get me wrong, like us Qinruo, we can cook excellent Zhejiang cuisine." She saw that Shi Shilei didn't even have a kitchen knife Can choose, pointed to the other one and said, "Use this one to cut, it will be easier to cut."

He heaved a sigh of relief, and changed the kitchen knife as he said.But after hearing what she said, Shi Shilei remembered what she said to grandma just now, if Fu Qin was not from the family, he would be very puzzled.

I was thinking about how to bring the topic over, but she asked strangely: "Huh? No, you are so good-looking and obedient—look, my parents like you very much, why are you in the orphanage? If no one adopts it? A child like you must be loved by everyone."

Shi Shilei hacked into the radish with a knife, and patted the back of the knife vigorously. After a while, he laboriously split the radish in half, leaving a red mark on his hand.He glanced at Fu Qiying, who was cooking, and said, "I was adopted, but I went back later."

"Why?" She sounded inconceivable, "That family treats you badly? Or... the conditions are not good?"

He didn't want to talk about it in detail with someone he didn't know well, so he shook his head: "I don't like it, and I left when I grew up."

Fu Qiying froze, smiling a little inexplicably.After a while, she sighed, as if she understood it very well, and said, "That's right, after all, it's not her own child. The crow is also her own child, right? It's not that close, of course it's another matter. It's like Qin Ruo's dad……"

Shi Shilei was still trying to divide the radish into quarters. He was startled when he heard this, but the knife only went half way: "Fu Qinruo's father?"

"It's my brother." She looked at Shi Shilei in surprise, and said with a smile, "You don't know? Qin Ruo didn't tell you? Well, he said it was my brother, but he was actually a cousin. Before my parents gave birth to me I have never been pregnant, my mother is weak, and the old Chinese doctor said she couldn't conceive. My family was superstitious, and I was afraid that this incense stick would be cut off—my father is the eldest son—so he adopted my uncle's son. Who Not long after adoptive adoption, my mother was pregnant with me. Later, when my brother grew up, he left home, and we had to talk about it, so he agreed to keep Qinruo before going abroad."

Fu Qiying put the dishes out of the pot, thought about it, and said with emotion: "This big family also has the rules of a big family, especially our family that has been passed down from generation to generation. The ancestors even had the number one scholar, so they value incense. It's an old-fashioned thing to grow up. But it's also a turn of events now? Those who should come will come, and you can't escape." She looked at Shi Shilei and smiled meaningfully, "I'm afraid this incense will not last."

Seeing that she was an intellectual in the new society, Shi Shilei felt aggrieved when she said such old-fashioned words, and thought to herself that she had such an accent because he messed up Fu Qinruo's marriage. She lowered her head and cut the radish into strips.After thinking about it for a while, he raised his head and pretended to be naive and said to Fu Qiying: "Aren't there many people who are surrogates now? You can have a baby anytime you want."

Hearing this, Fu Qiying was taken aback, and turned to look at him indifferently, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression was pale.They looked at each other for a while, and she suddenly smiled and said, "You think so, but Qin Ruo probably doesn't think so. Besides," her smile deepened, showing the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, "You may not really think so, either. Isn't it?"

After the food was served, Grandma Fu happily talked about tonight's Lantern Festival before taking her seat, but before the meal was half eaten, it started to rain outside.

Sisi was probably preoccupied with going to see the lanterns, but she couldn't even sit still when she heard the sound of rain. She left the banquet and went outside to watch it several times, and every time she came back, she drooped her head in frustration.

After eating, Shi Shilei went outside the store door, and together with Fu Qinruo put back the door panels one by one, looked up at the water droplets flowing from the edge of the tile, and the raindrops illuminated red by the red lanterns.

Thin rain, like silk threads, is outlined on the lacquered blue sky.Under the sky, there are some tourists who enjoy the lanterns walking sparsely, with their families together, holding windmills and all kinds of snacks in their hands, and holding umbrellas, which is a bit of a taste of not being afraid of the wind and rain.

It's just that the rain is getting heavier.

"I want to open an umbrella, do you still want to go see it?" Fu Qinruo put the last door panel on and asked Shi Shilei who looked disappointed.

He frowned, folded his arms and stared at the sky. After a long time, he said dully: "Have the paper lanterns been broken? Don't look at them!" After he finished speaking, he turned and entered the room. Throwing Fu Qinruo on the door was to vent his hatred, and went back to the house angrily.

Sisi was still in the room pulling her father's trouser legs and coquettishly saying that she was going to see the lanterns.

Gao Yi knelt down and picked her up, coaxing her, "Okay, okay, say goodbye to grandpa and grandma."

"I don't~I want to watch the lantern~" Sisi didn't want to be hugged by her father at all, she begged and yelled, "Grandpa~I want to watch the lantern~"

Grandpa Fu stood outside the courtyard door with his hands behind his back talking to his daughter. He turned his head and told Grandma Fu a few words, but didn't reply to Sisi's words.Grandma Fu came over and asked her son-in-law to put her granddaughter down, and said with a smile, "Sisi, come with grandma, grandma has something nice for you."

She looked up and saw Shi Shilei walking in, and said to him, "Come and see."

Shi Shilei was baffled and curiously followed them to the attic.

Grandma Fu took them to the room where Shi Shilei had slept before, and turned on the lights, but the furnishings were the same as before.Shi Shilei looked around, and suddenly found that there was still a change—a lantern in the shape of a white rabbit hung beside the lattice window, small and exquisite, lifelike.

The little girl also found the lantern, ran over and jumped twice but couldn't get down, but bumped into the tassel under the lantern and shook it.

Shi Shilei looked at grandma, and after she nodded, he went over to help Sisi take down the white rabbit lantern, and saw her hugging her in his arms.It was only then that he noticed that the lantern was completely handmade, and there were no circuits and light bulbs that are commonly seen in the market today, but a candle holder was left inside.

"Do you like it?" Grandma Fu walked over and asked her granddaughter with a smile, "Your grandfather made it for you."

Shi Shilei was startled when he heard this, and he was inexplicably surprised. Sisi blinked twice and said, "I like it! Thank you, grandma!"

"You take it home and play with it. The little rabbit doesn't like to get wet in the rain, so don't take it into the rain." Grandma Fu touched her little head and warned.

She nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

After all, he is an old artist, even the lanterns for his granddaughter during the Lantern Festival are made by himself.Shi Shilei saw that although the lantern was simple, it could be made so deftly, and the tassels underneath were also intricately braided, so he couldn't help feeling envious.

Probably saw something, grandma smiled and said to Shi Shilei when Sisi was playing with lanterns: "If you like it, let Qin Ruo make one for you. He learned from his grandfather when he was young, and he can also make kites. When you see him Is the swallow kite in the room? He made it when he was in elementary school."

His thoughts were seen through, Shi Shilei smiled embarrassedly, just in time to see Sisi running out with a lantern, and said quickly: "Ah, I still have something for Sisi. Grandma, I'm going out first."

"This kid." Seeing him walking out with his head buried, the old man pursed his lips, looked around the small attic in front of him, and shook his head.

The festive lanterns could not be seen, the family would go back soon, Shi Shilei couldn't find a chance to go out and buy chocolates for Sisi again.Thinking of buying nutritional products before coming here, because Valentine's Day is approaching in the supermarket, I bought two boxes of chocolates at a reduced price due to an event, and I also took them over to eat by myself.Shi Shilei returned to Fu Qinruo's room and was about to find it for Sisi, but saw that their cousins ​​were already inside.

Fu Qinruo was playing with Sisi's white rabbit lantern.

The little girl was already holding a box of chocolates in her hand, and she jumped up to grab her own lantern back. She couldn't grab it several times, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry, but Fu Qinruo was still laughing, and from time to time, she used the tassel of the lantern to hit her forehead. Up.

For some reason, seeing Fu Qinruo who was bullying the children, Shi Shilei stopped at the door.

Fu Qinruo quickly noticed Shi Shilei standing at the door, smiled at him, and returned the lantern to Sisi.

The little girl made a big face at him, jumped up and down and wanted to run out of the room, but was abducted by Shi Shilei who squatted down at the moment she went out.

"Brother Shi Shi?" Sisi looked at him strangely, then suddenly hugged the white rabbit lantern in her arms, and stared at him very vigilantly.

"Huh?" Seeing this, Shi Shilei squinted his eyes and threatened, "So stingy? If you don't let my brother play, my brother won't give you chocolate."

She listened for a moment, rolled her eyes and thought about it for a long time, raised her head proudly, and hugged the box of chocolates in her arms: "I already have chocolates!"

Shi Shilei smiled coldly, and then said in a persuasive way: "The box that my brother will give you is bigger than this one, and there are hazelnuts and raisins in the chocolate."

The little girl swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but insisted: "That can't be played with you!"

"Really?" He leaned over and asked with a smile.

"Well..." Sisi looked very painful, and after a long time of distress, she said hesitantly, "Then... you can only play for a while, just play for a while!"

"Pfft!" Shi Shilei couldn't help laughing, got up and said, "Okay, you're going home. Let's play together next time."

As he spoke, he went back to the room and searched the suitcase, but he didn't see another box of chocolates.

Shi Shilei clearly remembered that they were put together in the suitcase at the time, and he was confused. When he turned around and saw the other box, Fu Qinruo hid it behind his back. Handing the chocolate to Sisi: "Hey, take it. Brother will do what he says."

"Is it really for me?" Sisi came over, looked at her lantern again, and asked, "Are you really not playing? I'm going home."

Just as she was talking, her parents were already calling her name downstairs to urge her.

Shi Shilei smiled and said, "I'm not playing anymore. Be good, go home. Be careful not to let the lamp touch the water. Goodbye."

She looked at the two of them reluctantly, hugged the gift she got, and said, "Then I'm going home, brother goodbye!"

Hearing the sound of her running downstairs disappeared, Shi Shilei folded her arms and looked back at Fu Qinruo, and said angrily, "Why are you hiding my chocolate?"

"Didn't you also say you wanted to send her off?" Fu Qinruo asked back.

Shi Shilei rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and asked, "What should I do? Both boxes are gone, what should I eat?"

Fu Qinruo laughed and said, "You have to give it to her yourself."

"It's really annoying..." As he said, he walked up to Fu Qinruo, raised his arm and hooked it around his neck, and sniffed behind his ear, "You are more fragrant than chocolate, let me eat you. Okay?" good?"

He lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"Huh?" Shi Shilei turned to look at him.

Fu Qinruo patted his waist lightly, and said softly: "Grandma is outside."

He was so frightened that he immediately let go of his hand, and when he looked back, he didn't even close the door. Grandma Fu stood outside the door and looked at the two of them as if she wanted to watch a play.

"Grandma, grandma..." Shi Shilei broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and even took two steps away from Fu Qinruo.

Grandma Fu smiled slightly, and didn't pursue the matter. She said to Fu Qinruo, "Are you going to Master Han's house? If so, please send me a bowl of glutinous rice balls. I just cooked them."

Master Han is the master who made the piano.Although Fu Qinruo had said before that his family had a good relationship with this master, Shi Shilei did not expect such a relationship.If it was really so good, why didn't he invite Master Han to have dinner with him at home during the Lantern Festival?

Even the glutinous rice balls they brought were red bean glutinous rice balls specially cooked by Grandma Fu, which were different from what they had for dinner.

"Grandma is so kind to Master Han, isn't Grandpa angry?" Shi Shilei couldn't help asking in a low voice when he came outside Master Han's house.

"Is it good?" Fu Qinruo asked strangely.

Shi Shilei looked at him in surprise: "How does your family define being nice to people?"

Fu Qinruo thought about his question before ringing the doorbell, and said, "Let's take it to heart."

"Then how shall I treat you?" Shi Shilei teased.

He nodded without any doubt: "Okay."

Shi Shilei was surprised, blinked his eyes, and was about to ask a few more questions, but Fu Qinruo had already rang the doorbell.

The old man who opened the door was in good health, and he knew at first glance that he was handsome when he was young.He was not surprised when he saw Fu Qinruo, and let out the door: "It's pretty fast."

"Well, it's raining heavily. I came here in a hurry." Fu Qinruo let Shi Shilei in first, and introduced, "This is my friend, Shi Shilei. This is Master Han."

"Happy Lantern Festival, Grandpa Han." He picked up the thermos bucket as soon as he entered the door, "Grandma asked me to bring this."

Master Han took the thermos, although his words were polite, his voice was light: "Well, thank you."

It should have been mentioned about repairing the qin before, and Master Han asked Fu Qinruo where the qin was shortly after they entered the door.

Fu Qinruo unloaded the guqin that he had carried all the way from his back, put it on an empty piano case next to him, opened the bag, and took out the piano.

Shi Shilei watched from the side and listened to their discussion for a while, all of which were technical terms that he half-understood.

After a while, Master Han raised his head and said to Shi Shilei who was standing beside him, "Look around as you please, don't be restrained."

He was startled, and looked at Fu Qinruo.

"Go, I'll call you later." Fu Qinruo seemed to be familiar with this room, and raised his chin at the next room, "There are books there, and there are also computers to access the Internet."

Shi Shilei thought that since he couldn't understand what they were talking about, it would be useless to keep it, so he nodded, smiled at Master Han, and walked to the study.

Although Master Han's family lives in a unit building with a simple layout and simple design, the things they hide are all treasures.As soon as he walked into the study, he saw a guqin hanging on the wall.

Shi Shilei doesn't understand things that are too detailed, but he has seen a lot of ancient things, and he knows which ones are real antiquities.For example, the square piano in front of me, just hanging there quietly, already makes people feel that time has gone back nearly a hundred years.

Shi Shilei approached, licked his lips, and wanted to raise his hand to touch the strings, but fearing that something might go wrong, he put his hands behind his back.

In addition to Guqin, there are also two flutes on the shelf next to it, both of which are quite old.He even saw a lute next to the landscape painting on the wall.Shi Shilei felt that the landscape painting seemed familiar, and when he walked over to see the inscription and seal, he was so surprised that he spoke out.

Even if he doesn't know what Grandpa Fu's name is, the surname "Fu" is rare after all, not to mention that he has seen the seal seal countless times today when he was dividing the calligraphy and painting, so it must be Grandpa Fu's seal.

There are two seals.He also saw the other one a few times today, it should belong to Grandma Fu.At this time, he suddenly recalled that this painting was the winter plum painted by his grandfather in the painting and calligraphy studio when he went to Fu Qinruo's house for the first time last year.

It turned out that the finished product was hung here, and it was clearly written on the back that it was a New Year gift for Master Han.

Maybe the feelings of the older generation are beyond his comprehension. In his eyes, yes is yes, no is no. It is really boring to be so vague for decades.However, maybe it is precisely because of being more certain that this relationship has been maintained for so long.

I don't know if Fu Qin was brought up by these old people, how much he would have followed them.

Shi Shilei admired the meticulous painting in front of him, thinking that even the professor of the school's traditional Chinese painting department might not be better at painting than Grandpa Fu.Gong Yu's techniques also imply freehand brushwork, mastery, and even the writing is as vigorous and noble as a plum blossom.

He unknowingly looked at this calligraphy and painting for more than ten minutes. If he hadn't heard that Fu Qinruo and the others were testing strings outside, he still hadn't recovered.

There was a stack of thread-bound ancient books on the bookshelf. Shi Shilei carefully picked up one, and was stunned when he took a closer look—it turned out to be a collection of poems by Taoist Baishi.But Shi Shilei remembers that his rare books are very difficult to find now, and what he can find in school are photocopies, and he needs to make an appointment to get them.

Judging from the newness and oldness of this book, it should not have been left over from the past. Shi Shilei opened it and saw that it was indeed not a rare book.Not even block copies, but transcripts.He picked it up and looked at it, only to feel that the word was very familiar, with Ouyang Xiu's appearance and Chu Suiliang's charm.

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, could it be that Fu Qinruo copied it?Shi Shilei walked up to the calligraphy and painting with his notebook in his hand, and carefully compared the characters on the calligraphy and painting, which didn't look like Grandpa Fu's.

"What are you looking at?" Fu Qinruo asked when he came in and saw him reading a book.

Shi Shilei put the book up and asked, "Did you copy this? It's a whole book."

After he approached, he saw clearly and nodded: "Well, I copied it a few years ago."

Hearing this, Shi Shilei's eyes widened, without saying a word, he hugged the book in his arms, and said with great force, "I want this."

"What do you want?" Master Han walked in with the Qin brought by Fu Qinruo, and happened to see Shi Shilei holding the book tightly, smiled immediately, and said seriously, "I can't give you this."

Shi Shilei was just putting on a show, the old man saw the joke, smiled shyly, and asked Fu Qinruo: "Why did you copy such a copy?"

"Master Han's birthday, when he was still a poor student, he didn't know what to give, so he went to the library to find a photocopy and copied it at home. In order to find someone to do the thread binding, he even traveled half of Beijing." Fu Qinruo watched him reluctantly put the book He closed it, his hands still hovering on the cover for a while, and asked Master Han, "Master, can we borrow this back? He will return it to you after reading it."

"I still want to come." Shi Shilei whispered.

Master Han put the qin on the qin table, raised his head and said, "Aren't you two friends? If you want to read Fu Qinruo's calligraphy, why do you have to get this book?"

"But, it's very pretty." Shi Shilei turned it over and stared at it for a few minutes, then asked Fu Qinruo, "How many years ago?"

Fu Qinruo recalled for a moment: "When was your junior year?"

"As old as me!" He glanced again and muttered, "Why are my characters so ugly?"

Shi Shilei closed the book, ran to Master Han and knelt down, and begged, "Grandpa Han, can you lend me this? I want to take a good look at it, so lend me a few days. It won't be damaged."

Master Han turned his head and looked at him for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "Take it if you want, it's not a matter of borrowing or not."

He was overjoyed, but he thought that this was Fu Qinruo's birthday gift to the old man after all, so he still said: "Thank you, Grandpa Han! I will send it back to you after I finish reading it, and I won't delay."

Before they left, Shi Shilei didn't forget to remind the old man to eat the glutinous rice balls quickly, as they won't taste good when they get cold.

the old man sent them
