Chapter 375 Wei Ran With Nothing To Do

On the night when Chen Guangling's family was sent away, Wei Ran and Suisui waited for their parents to have a lively meal after their parents came back from work. to the parents.

Although this thick cash is enough to prove his hard work, because Sui Sui didn't want to disclose the relationship between the two of them prematurely, Wei Ran was again inevitably asked the fatal question of when to bring his girlfriend back.

But this time, before he could open his mouth, Sui Sui, who was holding a braised chicken wing in one hand and a large glass of beer in the other, took the topic and urged Wei Ran to arrange a blind date.

Wei Ran's mother looked at the cheerful Sui Sui with a strange look, and then asked tentatively, "Why don't you get together with your high school classmates? Have a look."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Sui Sui followed suit with a smile and encouraged, "Look at who is beautiful and single, go and hook up!"

"Hook up with a fart!"

Angrily, Wei Ran picked up a piece of chicken butt with soup and threw it into the spike bowl above him, but in the end he refrained from disclosing the matter between him and the latter.

"If the two of you really have nothing to do these days, why don't you go to grandma's house and help out." Wei Ran's mother changed the subject in a timely manner, "Sui Sui's grandma's new house is about to be renovated, and you two should help clean it up too. tidy."

Before Wei Ran and Sui Sui could speak, Wei Ran's father put down his cup, "Speaking of this, Sui Sui, when will your parents come back?"

"They said they would definitely come back years ago, but they didn't say when."

Sui Sui sipped the soup off her fingers, threw the chicken butt in the bowl to Wei Ran, picked up a chicken wing with chopsticks and put it in her own bowl, "My dad is making a movie, listen to my mom, The signal is not good in the place where they filmed the movie, the last time I contacted them was a week ago."

"Your mother is still so capable of tossing around." Wei Ran's mother shook her head helplessly, "Leave them alone, it's better to come back later, so you can save yourself from showing off that crappy movie every day."

"Why did you break the movie? Then I wrote the script of the movie." Wei Ran muttered in a moderate voice, and the piece of chicken butt that was returned tragically fell into the belly of the crooked pug at his feet inside

"Every day I know I'm not doing my job properly!"

Wei Ran's mother commented angrily, completely forgetting that when she first heard the news, whoever showed off when she met everyone, wished the whole world would know her proud appearance.

Compared with the laughter and laughter of their family, the Chen Guangling family far away in the capital was much more busy.

In the warm piano room, Chen Luoxiang, who was wearing a dusty exercise uniform, sat cross-legged on the edge of the piano table, and in the lingering smoke of sandalwood, he gently touched the water of Guqin Youquan with some red fingers. Strings, unhurriedly performing a piece of music.

At the end of the song, Chen Guangling who was sitting opposite also opened his eyes and handed over a cup of warm scented tea, "Take a rest, I'm a little irritable, that's it for today."

Hearing this, Chen Luoxiang let out a long breath, shook his tingling fingers, and then took the teacup and drank it down in one gulp.

"Dad, do you think Mr. Liu can accept me as an apprentice?" Chen Luoxiang put down his teacup and asked worriedly, "What if?"

"Don't worry." Chen Guangling said confidently, "As long as you take this quiet spring to go, at least half of the apprenticeship will be done."

"But this piano is not ours." Chen Luoxiang reminded him hesitantly.

"What do you think?"

Chen Guangling shook his head, dumbfounded, "Mr. Liu's grandfather and my great-grandfather were both apprentices of Qin Hua who made this zither. With this relationship and the fact that he was able to see this secluded spring with his own eyes. , let him play a song at most, accept you as an apprentice, and it will be a matter of course."

"What if Mr. Liu plans to buy this piano?" Chen Luoxiang asked nervously, "We can't sell it to Mr. Liu, right? Then I'd rather not learn it. righteousness."

"Of course not for sale"

Chen Guangling lightly touched the guqin on the table, and replied as a matter of course, "We borrowed this piano, of course we can't sell it! I reckon that Mr. Liu will at most want to see your senior brother at that time. , your senior brother will see you if you want to, and there is nothing you can do if you don’t want to see us, right? Besides, he doesn’t agree to accept you as his apprentice, so don’t even think about knowing who this bed of secluded spring belongs to.”

"Dad, is this unreasonable?" Chen Luoxiang asked with a grin.

"What's unreasonable?"

Chen Guangling said angrily, "When I was your age, your grandfather often told me that Mr. Liu's father borrowed 20 catties of food stamps and ten catties of cornmeal from our family at that time so that they would not let them go. People are starving to death, and the food stamps and cornmeal have not been returned. If the two families have not been in touch for decades, why bother to borrow a guqin? He can accept you as a disciple with ten catties of cornmeal .”

"Can"

"But what?" Chen Guangling put down his teacup, "Hurry up and take a shower and go to sleep, and get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning to start practicing the piano. This is a human thing, and Mr. Liu can't make too many faults in the piano art!"

The introverted and shy Chen Luoxiang opened his mouth, finally stood up, honestly put the piano into the case, locked it in a windowless storage room, and then went downstairs to prepare for a rest.

At about the same time, Wei Ran, who was full of food and drink, also returned to his own house, thinking about what to do during the time before.

There is still half a month left before the Chinese New Year. If you always stay at home, you will probably be disgusted in less than three days.If you go to grandma's house, there seems to be nothing to do except to see Sui Sui's grandpa's newly built big house.

"Why can't you get down?"

Wei Ran muttered to himself, got up and locked the anti-theft door and drew the curtains, took out the items in the metal book one by one and maintained them.

These knives, guns and weapons are placed abroad, and any one of them can bring you a substantial sense of security.But in China, any one of them is probably enough for me to live for free for a few years and learn to step on the sewing machine by the way.Even taking it out for maintenance, he was afraid that someone would knock on the door at this time.

In the past, he might have complained about being too strict like those military fans, losing his blood and his martial spirit, Barabara.But the experience of more than a year or two has changed his thinking. The so-called blood, the so-called martial arts, can really be cultivated by wielding knives and guns?I'm afraid not necessarily.

On the contrary, the present safe environment must have been achieved by countless people who yearn for peace like Li Hexian at an unimaginable price.

In other words, what's wrong with not being able to play with guns?Are you scared if you don't have a gun in your hand?Don't dare to stand up when you encounter something?
If he is really such a coward, let alone a gun, even if he carries an atomic bomb on his shoulders, he may not be able to develop any martial spirit. Instead, he may become a bullying trash who relies on weapons in his hands to do evil and do evil.

"In the future, these things can't be taken out when they are in China."

Wei Ran, who was worried, muttered secretly, quickly assembled the parts all over the floor into an amazingly powerful anti-tank gun, and immediately put it into the metal book.

Throwing the rag full of gun oil and stains into the trash can, and after washing his hands carefully, he took out the Guqin Yaoguang from the metal book, walked into the study room with good sound insulation, locked the door and played the only a piece of music.

However, although this song can help him dispel the hostility and depression brought back from various battlefields every time, it can't make him truly relax from the tense state of doing nothing but restless.

And the previous experience of studying the psychological course with Gorman also made Wei Ran faintly realize that he may have unknowingly gotten used to the tense nerves on the battlefield and the usual busy life, so that It made him feel a sense of guilt that shouldn't exist.It feels like everyone else is in class, but I skip class and lie at home, as uncomfortable.

"It seems that this piano music is not a panacea"

Wei Ran plucked the strings, and waited until the lingering sound dissipated, then put it back in the metal book and walked to the bedroom. At the same time, he secretly thought about asking Sui Sui if he had any plans during this time before tomorrow.

In the blink of an eye the next day at six o'clock in the morning, Wei Ran opened his eyes early, got into the bathroom and took a cold shower that he was used to but still made him grin his teeth. Then he did push-ups and sit-ups on the living room floor, and then Leaving home in the still dark sky, I started jogging around the neighborhood.When he was sweating profusely and came back early with his family's clothes in hand, the parents and Sui Sui in the opposite room had just woken up.

"It's rare that you didn't sleep in late." Father Wei Ran took the soy milk and fried dough sticks from his son, and said nonchalantly, "Keep it up and see how long you can last."

"Tomorrow I want to eat steamed buns." Sui Sui, who was brushing her teeth, poked out most of her head from the bathroom and said.

"I think you look like a bun." While speaking, Wei Ran took out a can of sugar from the kitchen and put it on the dining table.

"You're just like a steamed stuffed bun!" Sui Sui, who came out after brushing her teeth, retaliated and took a vicious bite of a deep-fried dough stick.

"Why do you two pinch each other when you meet?"

Wei Ran's mother couldn't help but bring up a bowl of mustard with sesame oil, picked up a fried dough stick and continued, "Your father and I will probably come back late tonight, and you can find a way to solve the dinner yourself."

"I'm not hungry, don't worry." Wei Ran and Sui Sui glanced at each other, eating their own breakfast as if nothing happened.

After finishing breakfast with her parents and watching them go out, Sui Sui locked the anti-theft door and threw herself into Wei Ran's arms.

"How do you arrange these days?" Wei Ran sat on the sofa holding the girl in his arms and asked first.

"No arrangement." Sui Sui sat on the former's lap and asked, "What arrangement do you have?"

"If I know what to do, can I ask you?"

"Why don't you go to grandma's house first?" Sui Sui gave Wei Ran an expected answer, and then gave another choice, "Maybe go out for a few days?"
