Reborn sparrow becomes phoenix

Chapter 31

The lantern market was located in the central square and went south along Zhongshan Road. It was already ten o'clock when they arrived, and there were still many people walking among the lanterns.If you take a closer look, you will find that those who brought their children and the elderly to play together have basically left, and most of them are lovers in pairs or young people in groups of three or five.

Starry Night has not seen such a lantern festival for many years. I am excited to walk among the lanterns, old-fashioned palace lanterns, revolving horse lanterns, small animal lanterns, and more fashionable new lanterns.

Jia Kai saw that many girls in the crowd were carrying a lantern, and stopped the cheerful Xingye in front of a stall selling lanterns, "Do you want to buy one?"

Xingye quickly nodded and agreed, "Do you have that kind of lantern with candles?" This kind of plastic lantern with light bulbs is weird to hold, and it doesn't have the same feeling as when I was a child.

Xingye carefully protects her lantern from being hit by others. Her father also made this kind of lantern for her when she was a child. The small candle lit inside can easily light the paper outside. It reminds me of the children in the small town when I was over fifteen. She would carry this kind of lamp to play together, every time no matter how careful she was, her lamp would burn out, and then she would cry, at that time Kaguya would give her his lamp, but in the end it was always Lianhui The night lights will also burn.

Seeing Xingye put all his attention on her lantern, Jia Kai had to follow her closely, with his arms outstretched, to prevent someone from bumping into her in the dark.

"There is a large light tree in the square in front, go and have a look." Jia Kai took Xingye to the central square.

Through the arch made of thousands of small lamps, large lamps come into view.

Xingye looked at the colorful lanterns of the phoenix spreading its wings in front of him. The six-meter-long big phoenix was dotted with colorful lanterns all over his body.

"It's so beautiful." Xingye couldn't help admiring.

"Someone is putting up Kongming lanterns over there!" Someone yelled, and people rushed to one side.

Xingye didn't notice that she was knocked sideways by the person next to her, thanks to Jia Kai beside her who supported her.

"Oh!" The paper lantern was already lit, and Xingye looked regretful, "I still can't keep it."

"If you like it, we'll buy another one." Although Jia Kai didn't know why she valued this lantern so much, he still said as she wanted.

"If you have one in your hand now, will you give it to me?" Xingye looked at Jiakai, and couldn't explain why he asked this question.

"Then it goes without saying, of course I'll give it to you." Jia Kai replied without thinking.

Xingye laughed, it turned out that he was the same as brother Huiye.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to supper." Xingye pulled Jiakai.

In addition to the original special food streets around the square, there are also many new stalls because of the lantern festival. This time period is a good time to sell late-night snacks.

Neither of them was very hungry, but each bought a cup of hot milk tea and held it in their hands to keep them warm without drinking.

Xingye was very happy to tell Jiakai how she celebrated the Lantern Festival when she was a child, about the lantern made by her stepfather, about how she cried because the lantern was burned, and how Huiye would definitely give her his.

Jia Kai understood why she cared so much about that lantern just now, and why she asked herself that strange question, he patted Xingye's head, "Xingye, I'm your brother too."

A simple sentence, both of them understood what it meant, and smiled at each other.

After the Lantern Festival, Jia Luo started school first, and Jia Kai also went to school two days late.Xingye quickly adapted to such a day, and would go to the park with her grandparents for morning exercises when she got up early.The two old people go to the same place but not the same way of exercise. Grandpa will do Tai Chi all the way, and then go for a walk, or play a game of chess, and grandma will go to dance or go to the fancier area to shine when she is interested Voice, at seven o'clock, the two of them will go home for breakfast together on time.

Xingye started to dance with her grandma, and went to the arena on a whim for a quick four. After the dance, she was surrounded by a group of old ladies, who praised her for dancing well, for her sense of music, and for her beauty, but the more she said The more outrageous.Her grandma was so proud after hearing that, she kept telling people, this is my granddaughter.

Xingye was stunned when she heard it. This dance is purely for work. You have seen that dancer girl who can't dance. Xingye is not only slow, but also tango. After being the mistress of a leader, she has nothing to do, and she even signed up for Latin dance classes for fitness. According to her coach, she really has a talent for dancing.

Fortunately, grandma was so happy that she forgot to ask who she learned from, otherwise it would be hard for her to explain.

The next day, Xingye didn't dare to go with grandma, but went to practice Tai Chi with grandpa, which she had never learned before.At the beginning, I followed others, I forgot my legs when I lifted my arms, and forgot my arms when I kicked my legs. Fortunately, Taijiquan is slow, and the moves are also fixed 24. After connecting the two sides, I can almost remember the basic moves, but the posture is not standard when practicing. , Xingye looked around and saw a fat old man with the most graceful posture, so he paid attention to where he stretched his hands, how high his legs were raised, how long it took him to turn around and change his moves, after three days in a row he looked good, basically There is no need to look at other people's postures, she just dances this Tai Chi as a dance, no matter how beautiful it is, at least a layman will say it is good.

Even when the fat old man left, he glanced at her and said "not bad", Xingye was complacent, it seems that I am quite smart.

In the morning, my grandpa would read books or practice calligraphy in the study, and my grandma would sometimes accompany me to draw pictures, and sometimes I would go to the market with Aunt Mei to buy vegetables, and now I prefer to chat with Xingye.

Xingye set a two-hour study time for himself in the morning, and took Jialuo's high school practice questions and test papers to do it.Then there is learning to cook from Aunt Mei. Aunt Mei’s skills are really good. His biological daughter is also unwilling to inherit his father's craftsmanship, but after two days, she can see that Xingye really wants to learn, and can cook basic meals, so she is also happy to teach her everything, watching Xingye understand quickly , It made her wish she could teach her everything she knew.

After lunch, the two old people will take a lunch break. Xingye has never had the habit of taking a nap. He uses this time to read books. She was seen by her grandfather, and she thought that he was angry at others for messing with his things when she saw his expression was unkind. Unexpectedly, her grandfather still gave her a copybook and a set of brushes, and stipulated that she should practice calligraphy for no less than two hours a day.

This decision surprised Xingye, but practicing brush calligraphy is not a bad thing, so he took the newspaper every day and traced the words on the copybook. It is not very pleasant to write with the wrist suspended for an hour, and the arm is sore after two days.Before Xingye said anything, grandma felt distressed and quarreled with her wife, so two hours became one hour, but the remaining hour was changed to learn painting from her.

Once my grandfather played chess alone, Xingye was reading a book next to her, and she made a random move, which surprised my grandfather. She only learned a little from her grandfather when she was very young, and she never played chess since her grandfather passed away.

Grandpa invited her to play a game of chess, and he praised her greatly, saying that she has a calm mind, and she must have been trained by a master.Xing Ye was noncommittal to this statement, it seems that the grandfather who is good at everything is also a stinky chess player, otherwise why would he think that he, who has almost never played chess with others, is good at playing chess.But from now on, grandpa will often play chess with her, what Xingye thinks is, this is good, it saves grandpa from going to play chess with others, and the old man must feel bad if he often loses.

Grandma is very dissatisfied with my grandpa always playing chess with Starry Night. This is not depriving me of the time to chat with my granddaughter.So one time Xingye was washing the vegetables while humming a song, which was heard by her grandma. Grandma happily asked her to sing another song, and Xingye sang another one she was good at. This time, grandma was even happier and said that she His voice is very similar to his own, and he wants Xingye to learn opera with her.In fact, Xingye knew that her grandma had confiscated her apprentices for many years, and she had to learn opera since she was a child. She had already passed the best time, and it was impossible for her to become a professional opera actor.Grandma didn't listen to this, and insisted on Xingye learning vocalization from her for an hour every day.

Now Starry Night is like a small spinning top, spinning around busy every day.

After a period of time, Xingye recalled that he was just a big toy, and his grandparents were more like two children robbing toys.
