After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

102 Neighborhood

When Xiao Wei heard that people from the Propaganda Department had come several times, he just said "hmm" to show that he understood.

A master always keeps some skills when teaching his apprentice. If he gives them all away, how can he survive on his own?

There is not much to do in school. There is not much to learn in music. Even if all-round development is required, the focus is now on political ideology. Being specialized but not popular will cause endless harm. This is a serious crime.

Fortunately, Xiao Wei can use his creativity as an excuse to give up.

Playing the erhu in the yard to entertain myself became a daily routine.

With Biyu and Luzhu teaching Ling Chang and Yao Qing, Xiao Wei felt more relaxed.

But it didn't take long for Xiao Wei to discover something was wrong.

Some lyrics were too sensitive to be shared with others, so I kept them to myself behind closed doors. The neighbor's children were secretly learning, but Xiao Wei knew about it and just turned a blind eye.

It's not normal if I don't see the little head sticking out of the wall for several days.

I came home early from school that day and simply opened the gate. I deliberately faced sideways towards the outside, sang and glanced out of the corner of my eye. Sure enough, I saw two strangers flash by.

Then I heard someone knocking on the door next door: "Is anyone home?"

An old woman asked, "Is it your cousin?"

"Yes, yes, come and visit."

Xiao Wei cursed inwardly: They're even using the secret code.

After Biyu and Luzhu came back, Xiaowei signaled them to keep quiet, handed the erhu to Biyu, and asked her to continue playing.

He tiptoed out and walked to the door of the next courtyard. He looked inside through the crack in the door and saw two strangers sitting in the main room, gesturing on manuscript paper with pens.

In ancient times, people used to drill holes in walls to steal light, but this is really just using the wall to steal music.

When I got home, I thought about it, made up my mind, took a small bowl from the stove, went over and knocked on the door: "Is anyone home? I'm Xiao Ji from next door."

The old woman responded immediately: "Someone, someone, is there anything wrong, little girl?"

"I want to borrow two spoons of salt from your family."

"Okay. I'll open the door once I've taken care of the kids."

Xiao Wei knew that the house next door was about the same size as hers, but there were six people living there. There were two couples, a young son who often studied secretly, and the couple of the eldest son had a little kid who just learned to walk.

My father must have worked in a steel factory and wore dirty work clothes all day long.

The young couple probably both worked in a textile factory, and they often quarreled about the small size of their home.

When they entered the yard, the two strangers had already put away their papers and pens and were chatting and drinking tea.

Xiao Wei pretended to ask casually: "Is this your relative?"

The old woman's answer was unnatural: "My cousin, I'm visiting."

“I don’t think I’ve seen it before.”

"Oh. Not often."

Xiao Wei looked at the old woman with interest: "Your little son can also learn from me. There is no charge now, and we can teach together anyway."

"Then why are you so embarrassed?"

"A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Just help each other."

The old woman was delighted and said, "The little girl is really sensible. When the child comes back from school, let him greet the teacher."

"We are just teaching in our spare time, no need to be polite. Just let the children go directly, as long as they don't spread it around."

As he spoke, he looked deeply at the two strangers. Naturally, the other party would not look back, so Xiao Wei looked at them in loneliness.

Less than ten minutes after I got home, the boy next door walked to the door as expected, but was too timid to enter.

Xiao Wei waved, "Come in. It's not safe to keep learning secretly. If you like it, you should take the initiative."

The second son then came in and looked at the pile of jars with envy.

"Go up and walk around. Be safe."

Seeing that the child was a bit introverted, it would not be easy to change him overnight. Xiao Wei had no choice but to go to the kitchen to clean up and let him play by himself.

When he came out, he saw that he was walking on the altar very skillfully, no doubt he had practiced with bricks in the yard.

Seeing the three girls staring at him, Erzi jumped down with a red face.

Luzhu was a person who could not keep secrets, and she asked approvingly, "Not bad. Very talented. By the way, do your two cousins ​​come over often recently?"

The second son just nodded and didn't respond.

Xiao Wei shook her head: "Don't make it difficult for the children, just let them be."

The child's father came over with a bag of candy after get off work and kept expressing his gratitude. Lu Zhu waved her hand and said, "It's just a small favor, no need to be polite. As long as you don't do anything behind my back, everything will be fine. We are not stingy people."

The father was stunned for a few seconds and replied awkwardly: "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."

The next day, Xiao Wei had just arrived home when two old ladies from the neighborhood came over with their three children. They smiled apologetically and asked Xiao Wei to help teach the three children, and handed over three small paper bags of tea and snacks.

Xiao Wei secretly cursed himself for getting so hot-headed. The news of free teaching had spread out. The two neighbor sons had set a precedent, and everyone wanted to take advantage of it. They really thought I was easy to talk to.

"I already have three children, and the yard is too small to take in more."

"Didn't you teach a lot at once before?"

When confronted, Xiao Wei didn't blush: "It was the past. Now we are lazy and don't want to teach too much."

Of course the old lady would not give up easily: "It's the same teaching for one person as it is for ten people. It's ok for my child to just watch from the side."

Xiao Wei shook her head firmly: "We girls are more shy and don't like others looking at us."

After a long struggle, Xiao Wei refused to give in and even started to act like a rogue: "If you want to reason with someone, go out and talk to someone else. We are all children too. Are you going to the wrong place to reason with children?"

A few people still refused to leave, so they had to join forces with Luzhu Biyu who had returned to push them out.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the gate of the courtyard was smeared with all kinds of shit, and the keyholes were filled with it.

Lu Zhu was so angry that she started cursing and denigrated all her ancestors.

Fortunately, the old lady next door came out and agreed to help watch over the house.

The next day, I caught the two naughty kids after lunch. Needless to say, I went to their house in the evening to question them and demanded an explanation.

The two children were pretended to be punished by their parents. Xiao Wei sneered: "Don't pretend to show us. If something like this happens again, it will be blamed on your children, regardless of whether they are your children or not."

The smearing of shit stopped, but mud flew in from outside the courtyard wall and hit Yaoqing on the head.

I had to go back to those two companies to ask for an explanation.

As expected, the two families insisted that the mud-throwing had nothing to do with their children.

After arguing for a long time, there was still no result.

There was no other choice but to ask the old lady next door to continue helping to watch over the house.

Within three days, the two naughty kids were caught again.

Once again, I went on and on about it, once again I got all kinds of assurances, once again I was harassed by having bricks thrown at the gate.

Then, wait again, catch the person again, and seek justice again.

Xiao Wei's family had a bad relationship with their neighbor. They quarreled all the time and had been quarreling for many years.

I didn't expect it to be the same in the city. Neighbors are really the same all over the world.

Endless annoyances made even the outgoing Luzhu depressed. Xiaowei smiled, "Life is a simple and stupid repetition. Don't be depressed. We should be lively and happy like a psychopath. We should treat this as a necessary task. Let's go and continue to denounce."

Once you figure it out, everything will become clear.

"Okay. Fuck him."
