I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Qin Huairu drove Tang Yanling and the child to the back room and squeezed into the same room with Jia Zhangshi. She dragged Xiaodang to the west wing and nagged for half the night, crying about how difficult it was for her to raise the whole family when the two sisters were young. She hoped that the two sisters would not blame her as a mother for being partial!

Now, the living conditions of the Jia family have greatly improved. She hopes that Xiaodang can visit her family more often, and she will make up for what they lacked in the past.

Assistant Tingting returned to Dongdan Lou Mansion and told Jingyi in detail what happened when they went to the courtyard.

The Jia family didn't make any noise at all. It seemed that they had changed their strategy. If the hard approach didn't work, they would try the soft approach!

Xiao Dang's situation is different from her own! After all, she has lived in that family for 25 years. No matter how badly the Jia family treats her, that family is still her blood relative. This time when she returns home, they are pampered and cared for her all the way, and she may soften her heart.

You have to walk your own path! She has no right to interfere with Xiao Dang's choice. At most, she can say a few more words, but she can't influence Xiao Dang's thoughts.

Jingyi asked assistant Tingting not to follow them to the courtyard, and not to get involved in the happy family. She should spend more time with her grandma and mother when she has free time.

The next morning, Zhang Tao went to the courtyard alone again. Now all the neighbors in the courtyard knew him. As soon as he entered the front yard, someone began to greet him enthusiastically and invited him to come in and sit down. It was really warm and welcoming!

The couple was very popular in the Siheyuan. Zhang Tao and Xiao Dang decided to hold a wedding banquet in Sijiucheng before leaving. Otherwise, it would be undignified to just leave like that!

The two stayed in Sijiucheng for a week and obtained all the necessary certificates for a foreign marriage. Finally, they opened a few tables in Dongxinglou, not far from the Siheyuan, and invited the neighbors of the Siheyuan to the wedding banquet. Qin Huairu's family in Changping was also notified to come to the wedding banquet.

Bang Geng, who had arrived home two days ago, even pulled Zhang Tao to call him brother, and frequently had sex with his brother-in-law. Flattering words kept coming out of his mouth!

Xiaodang has also contacted his sister Jingyi and informed her of his itinerary. Jingyi asked them to return to Hong Kong first, as she had something else to do in Beijing.

When the two were leaving, Banggeng hired a minivan. The Jia family sent them to the airport together. Qin Huairu held Xiaodang's hand all the way, and she was tearful and reluctant to leave. Xiaodang also shed tears and promised to come back to see them as soon as he was free.

In May 1984, the mainland finally opened its doors to pop music. A mainland singer named Zhou Feng recorded the album master tape at the Mandarin Records Company in Hong Kong, and then sent it to the Mainland Tourism Audio and Video Publishing House for distribution. The album was called "Eyes of Charm".

Although all twelve songs in the album are covers, it was the first time for the mainland to come into contact with it. For a while, he adapted Alan Tam's "Late Spring" and sang the Mandarin version of "Pear Blossoms Bloom Again", which immediately became popular all over the country. He became the first pop singer in the mainland and was called the emperor of one billion people.

At the same time, a female singer named Zhang Qiang also released an album titled "Tokyo Night" through Yunnan Audio and Video Publishing House, which became popular all over the country and she was called the Queen of Disco.

Although the two were repeatedly criticized by mainstream music professionals, they were loved by the general public and their album sales continued to rise.

Jingyi did not travel with Xiaodang because the Mainland Music Association found her and wanted to record her 22 classic piano pieces.

Although only one of her songs, "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", is popular here, her twenty-two piano pieces are widely circulated among music lovers in the mainland and in major music conservatories.

The Mainland Music Association wanted to re-record the song, divide it into two volumes, and distribute it nationwide. Jingyi thought this was an opportunity, and since she had the copyright anyway, she agreed to the Mainland Music Association.

The Mainland Music Association contacted the Audiovisual Publishing House in Sijiu City. She recorded 22 piano pieces in three days. Her piano skills have improved a lot compared to before. The quality of the piano album is amazing!

After she finished all the recording work, she was invited into the office of President Wang of Sijiucheng Audio and Video Publishing House.

"Ms. Jingyi, you have great attainments in music. We who are involved in music are well-informed. I had the honor of listening to your symphony, and it shocked me so much that my scalp numbed at the time." President Wang kept complimenting her.

Jingyi didn't know what he was up to, so she could only modestly say "No way! No way."

"You have released many albums in Hong Kong, and you have won almost all the major awards there in recent years. Many of them are Mandarin songs! Our audio and video publishing house would like to ask you to re-record them and distribute them nationwide. What do you think?"

President Wang finally expressed his plan! He could only stare blankly at the albums released by the two local audio and video publishing houses, which made a lot of money in the audio and video market. Now Jingyi's arrival made him feel that the opportunity was right in front of him.

It is time to promote my pop music to my fans in the mainland. The mainland will be the main market for Chinese music in the future, so I need to establish a firm foothold first.

"Sure! I also want the listeners here to accept and like my Mandarin pop songs." Jingyi agreed immediately.

President Wang quickly asked someone to bring the contract that had been prepared long ago, and both parties signed it. President Wang was impatient to call the accompaniment band, but was stopped by Jingyi. The band rehearsal was too troublesome, and she had the accompaniment tapes of all the songs in her space.

After agreeing on a time, Jingyi returned to Dongdan Lougongguan and began to sort out the Mandarin songs she had released, including "Later", "Childhood", "Red Dust", "The Price of Love", "Love You", "Applause", "Night in Ulaanbaatar", and "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", a total of twelve Mandarin songs.

Only the song "Night in Ulaanbaatar" is a newly released song. It is now 1984, and this song will be created by the end of next year. There is no market for this kind of song in Hong Kong now, so it is just right to release it in the mainland.

With these pre-recorded accompaniments, it only took three days to complete the recording of this album at the recording studio of Sijiucheng Audio and Video Publishing House.

This is her first song album released in the mainland, and she attaches great importance to it. She carefully selected the album cover photo, wanting to present the most satisfactory side of herself to her mainland fans.

A month later, Jingyi's three albums were put on the counters of audio-visual stores and Xinhua Bookstores around the country at about the same time. The refreshing instrumental music and songs made those who loved piano instrumental music and young people who liked pop music line up to buy them.

Lou Jingyi's name is also spreading rapidly in various places. She has appeared in the Spring Festival Gala twice and has a solid foundation of popularity. Now she is even more popular! Her singing can be heard all over the streets.

Her contribution to world music and her current status in the Chinese music scene are talked about by mainland music fans. She is truly well-known to everyone!

This time, the orthodox music professionals in the mainland dared not criticize! They can criticize the two young singers, but if they want to criticize Lou Jingyi? Forget it!

Before Jingyi returned to Hong Kong, she asked someone to find out about He Yushui. When she learned that she had moved back to the Siheyuan to live with He Daqing, she asked her to meet at Wu Yutai Teahouse on Wangfujing Street.

He Yushui, 39 years old, is still tall and thin, but there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Aunt Yushui, it's been more than ten years since we last met. I wanted to come see you a long time ago, but I never found the time. I didn't expect that you would move back to Compound No. 95 after all these twists and turns."

The two sat in a private room on the second floor, and Jingyi hugged her as soon as she came up. Yushui was also very happy to see Jingyi, and hugged her and was reluctant to let go.

"I should call you Jingyi now, right? These ten years are just a moment, and your childhood appearance is still swaying before my eyes." Yu Shui was full of emotion.

The two sat side by side and talked intimately, each telling about their experiences over the past decade. Yu Shui already has a pair of children, a son who is fourteen years old and a daughter who is nine years old. The family is happy!

"I got married in 1966 and gave birth to my son in 1970. During that time, I was taking care of my health. The old doctor said that my health was very weak at that time and it was not suitable for me to have a child."

When Yu Shui talked about the past that she couldn't bear to recall, her voice was a little choked.

"Jingyi, do you know? When I saw you, I was reminded of my childhood. I was also hungry and no one cared about me."

Jingyi's eyes were also red with emotion, and she held Yushui's hand. They both had the same pain when they were young!

"After my dad was driven away, the deaf old lady took good care of my brother. In the end, they became a grandparents couple, but I became a superfluous person. At that time...!"

Yu Shui was choking with sobs and couldn't speak. Jing Yi patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Aunt Yu Shui, it's all in the past. You still have a long way to go! Don't get angry with those people."

"Jingyi, you're right not to go back. That place is not worth lingering in! If I didn't want to go back to take care of my dad, I wouldn't want to go back there."

"What's wrong with your father? Why doesn't Uncle He recognize his own father?"

Jingyi was also very curious about this matter! Didn't Shazhu forgive He Daqing in the plot? Why are they so incompatible here?

"It's because I've been brainwashed so deeply by the deaf old lady Yi Zhonghai and his wife since I was a child. My dad sends us living expenses every month, but Yi Zhonghai withholds them and doesn't tell us. He's afraid that we'll get in touch with my dad." Yu Shui explained hatefully.

Hey! This deaf old lady is really good at fooling people! Not only is there a silly Zhu, there is also a silly Ezi.
