Chapter 24 The warm daily life of a family

The last day of 1952.

The comrades-in-arms art troupe my mother belongs to sang "Hymn to Heroes" at the New Year Party, which was well received by the audience and leaders present.

That night, Yang Yi did not spend the night in the courtyard.Although my mother came back late, the family still reunited for a late-night snack at No. 85.Then Yang Yi stayed at his parents' house.

the next day.

On the first day of 1953, the family took a rare stroll together.

When we arrived at some of the famous scenic spots in the Four-Nine City, my father took out his big treasure - a Leica camera.I need to take some photos for the two of you.Yang Yi put one hand around her mother's shoulders and made a scissor-hands look that she thought was extremely handsome with the other hand, and asked her dad to take a few photos (the scissor-hands look had been around since the end of World War II).

Then, it was Yang Yi’s turn to take a group photo of her parents.Seeing the two people standing a fist apart, Yang Yi encouraged,
"Dad, hold Mom in your arms and give you one!"

Dad took it easy and stretched out his arms to hug her.

"Hey, Dad, move your hands further down and wrap your arms around Mom's waist!"

So Dad's hand began to move downward.

"hiss".My father’s waist was twisted in a circle by my mother, and he took a breath to show respect.

Yang Yi seized this moment and took a photo with a click.

"You brat, this is making your dad's dark history!"

“Dad, you two are almost 40 and can still be so loving, do you know how envious I am?
Mom, Dad is hurting me.Hurry and screw him! "

Yang Yi was playing tricks on the couple.

"You deserve to be fierce! You're so old and you're still not in full shape."

Yang Yi raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Okay, you are the most loving couple."

"That's necessary!" Dad showed his loyalty at every opportunity.

"You two are talking about cross talk for me here! Okay, stop being pretentious. We have to go to several places to play next."

The God of Creation gave Yang Yi an opportunity to return to his youth and live in the lap of his parents. Yang Yi cherished it very much.

After playing outside for almost a whole day, the family also went to the bookstore to check out the sales of Yang Yi's new book "Sparkling Red Star".Looking at my dad’s excited expression, he seemed to want to say, “Did you see that book? It was written by my son.”

Yang Yi quickly pulled him away.

It was dark when the family returned home.

After dinner, my father went to clear the table, and my mother pulled Yang Yi aside and sat down.

"Xiaoyi..." Mom was obviously organizing her words.

"There is a female classmate in your school named Wang Yanni."

Hey, I knew I couldn't escape.

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, that girl's mother and I are still comrades in the system. Her father's old army is the same as your uncle's. You know what I mean."

Just say that we are a good match!
"Mom, I'm still young. I'll consider this issue after I'm 20 years old. Maybe you and Dad don't care about the minimum age for marriage in the newly promulgated marriage law. But I feel that if I want to make a difference in the future, I can't be open about it. Error on."

Mom thought for a while,

"You are right to understand it this way. Then may I know your evaluation of that classmate Wang Yanni?"

"Beautiful, smart, and with a strong personality."

"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry you don't like people with strong personalities. There are still a lot of people here talking to me."

"No, no, no, Mom. I really didn't think about getting married before I was 20."

"Haha, don't say this to me. Your eldest and second uncles are still waiting for you to pass on incense to the old Yang family as soon as possible. After two or three years, you will see if they will take you to the street to change your age registration. .”

It's really possible!
Fortunately, my mother has made it clear that she doesn't care, so there will be no problem with my father.As for the eldest uncle and the second uncle, just go around them when the time comes.

This topic is over.

Yang Yi took out a piece of music sheet from his pocket,
"Mom, please give me your evaluation." Mom looked at it seriously.

After a few minutes, he hummed softly,

"Clouds drifting across the sky

it keeps calling me
当 身边 的 轻轻 吹起
有 个 声音 在 我 呼唤

……. "

"Yun from my hometown! It's been a long time since I went back to Magic City to see your grandpa." My mother murmured there.

"Mom, grandpa has retired. We don't have time to go there. Please ask grandpa to come to Sijiucheng to celebrate the Spring Festival with us!"

"Your grandpa is still complaining about your mother and me. He went to YA without saying hello to him. That is to say, when you grew up, you often corresponded with him, so his resentment became less.

Okay, let’s not talk about your grandpa.Tell your mother, how did you come up with the idea of ​​composing a song like this? "

"Didn't Mr. Wu personally appeal on the radio, hoping that overseas Chinese scientists and students would return to China to participate in the construction of the motherland? I thought, if it is paired with such a homesick song, it would be more effective. So I tried I composed it and let you see the effect."

"The effect must be good. Even after I finished humming just now, I thought of my hometown. I'll leave this score here. By the way, Xiaoyi, you are much more talented in music than me. Have you ever thought about going to college in the future? Is this going in this direction?"

"No, no, no, I just like music, but I have no plans to make it my future career."

"Yes, sometimes when you step out, you can see a broader world."

Yes, Mom, just keep misunderstanding like this!
At this time, dad cleared the dining table and washed the dishes and came over.

"What are you talking about? You two."

"Xiaoyi is giving me credit."

"Hey, this is a new song composed."

"That's right, my son's musical abilities are all inherited from me." My mother was proud.

"Son, please take it easy. You have brought so much credit to our family in the past six months. If this continues, your dad and I will feel old and useless."

"You're being hypocritical. If your son has a future, you have to enjoy it secretly!"

"Yes, yes, you are the leader and everything you said is right!"

In order not to continue to eat the dog food of these two men and women, Yang Yi planned to change the topic.

"Dad, have you decided to move up to the next level after the Chinese New Year?"

"This depends on Zu Zhi's arrangements. But it should be no problem." Dad was still a little reserved.

"What about you, Mom?"

"Yes, it's settled. After the Chinese New Year, I will be promoted to the second level of the art troupe."

"Mom, look. You two have risen one level. There is no shortage of money at home. How about I keep the money I get from writing books or selling songs in the future."

"You can keep it by yourself if you want! Once you get married, I'll let you keep it by yourself, and whatever I keep here will be given to you."

General!Lore!

Dad also showed a helpless expression beside him.

"No, no, no, even if we get married, I will let you take care of it for me." Yang Yi started to show off.

"Are you threatening me?" Mom raised her eyebrows.

"What an injustice! June Snow! How dare I threaten my most beloved mother!" Yang Yi took the opportunity to play tricks.

"Okay, okay, I'm already annoying you." My mother said with disdain and a smile on her lips.She obviously enjoys this kind of family happiness.

Dad, Mom, our family must be well.

　If you were given a chance to go back to 14 or 5 years old, would you play tricks in front of your parents to amuse them?I think I will.So I designed this text.It can be considered as making up for the beautiful scenes I missed during my rebellious period.

　　There are still no comments in the book review area!There are so many comments on those Siheyuan articles with confusing logic and poor writing.Although these are basically complaints from readers, facts aside, at least they are lively!Leave some comments to your brother, whether it's good or bad.

　　Thank you again.
