Flight of the Bumblebee

On Saturday morning, He Qi was called to work overtime again.Originally, he wanted to lie on the bed and sleep for a long time, but the phone alarm rang endlessly in his ears like a curse.Xing Yan got up earlier than him, stood in the small kitchen humming a little song, and tied up a small apron to give him a hearty breakfast.He Qi who got up and turned off the alarm clock saw this scene and suddenly his eyes went dark, thinking that there should be no more mornings like this.

After He Qi casually ate two bites of the breakfast he made, and then got dressed and hurried to work overtime, Xing Yan sat in the middle of the room and looked at the bright sky outside, feeling a sense of loneliness and melancholy in his heart.It's the same feeling of loneliness as the newlywed wife cooked breakfast for her husband, and the husband hurried out to catch the early bus without even leaving a kiss.

"Ayan! Ayan!"

Fortunately, Niuniu's voice broke his unrealistic imagination.Xing Yan stood up, took off his apron, walked towards the roof, grabbed the railing and rushed down, shouting, "What's the matter?"

"Do you want to come down to play?" Niu Niu called, "My mother has gone to work."

"Is your mother going to work overtime this Saturday?"

"Yeah, she just went out."

Another left-behind child, just like him.Xing Yan thought sadly.He replied: "Wait, watch TV for a while, I'll go down after I do the laundry, okay?" He thought of Niu Niu's mother again, no, it should be Sister Wang.In order to prevent Niuniu from being alone at home, Sister Wang used to pull the switch before going to work, and he might have to pull the switch back for her to turn on the TV.

When Xing Yan was about to run down to turn on the electric switch for Niu Niu, Niu Niu downstairs said: "Then I'll watch "Bear Infested" downstairs, come down quickly after you wash your clothes!" Considering that he will come, Niuniu is not very worried about the electricity at home.

Xing Yan washed the clothes and hung them on the clothesline.The weather was sunny and sunny, but a gust of evil wind kept blowing towards his forehead. The clothes he had just hung up were blown away from the clip by the strong wind, and fell to the ground with a bang, covered in mud.Xing Yan quickly picked it up, put it under the faucet and rubbed it vigorously to wash off the dirty parts, and he was relieved.

It would be fine if it was his own clothes, but what kind of work shirts are these? Know when to be blown off the balcony.

After Xing Yan washed the shirt, he shook it on his hands a few times, then found a hanger, and hung the wet clothes under the eaves where it would not get wet in the rain.He looked up at the clear sky and wiped the sweat from his forehead.At the edge of the sky above the city was a large cloud cover, which loomed gloomily behind the tall buildings in the distance.The weather forecast said it would be sunny today, probably it was wrong.

Niu Niu's voice sounded again from below.

"Ayan! Ayan! Have you finished washing your clothes yet? I finished watching the cartoon!"

Xing Yan hurriedly replied: "It's finished! It's finished! You wait!" He closed the windows when he went back to the house, locked the door when he left, and checked it on the roof. He thought everything was safe. Packed up.Even if it's rainy and windy, they won't be in such a mess here.Xing Yan went downstairs in peace.

He found the key left by Sister Wang in the electric meter box outside, and opened the security door outside, but the door inside was still closed.Xing Yan knocked on the door politely, and an immature and suspicious voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

Xing Yan raised the volume: "It's me, I finished washing the clothes."

"The secret code." Niu Niu finally became a little wary, but this sentence made Xing Yan feel dumbfounded, he didn't know what the secret code was.

He said to the people inside: "Give me a hint, Niuniu."

Niu Niu paused for a moment, apparently thinking about what code to use, and after a while, she said, "Let me ask you, what is the name of Snow White's prince?"

Xing Yan smiled, and he deliberately said: "Then put your ear on the door, and I will tell you quietly, don't let the bad guys hear it."

Niu Niu said loudly inside: "I put my ears on the door, Ayan!"

"Then I said..." Xing Yan moved his mouth soundlessly close to the door.

"I can't hear you!" Niuniu protested.

"Then open the door and I'll tell you."

There was a sound of unlocking the door, and after a while, a small face appeared from behind. Xing Yan opened his arms to her, and loudly said the answer just now: "Ultraman!"

Only then did Niuniu realize that she had been cheated. Angrily, she hit Xing Yan's thigh with her small fist and kept shouting: "Big villain! Big villain! Kill you, kill you!"

Xing Yan stood to bear her attack, hugged the "angry" Niuniu with a smile, and asked, "Am I a villain?" Put it back on the ground.She ran to the sofa with short legs and sat down, beckoned to Xing Yan from a distance, and said childishly, "Ah Yan, come and sit here."

"Why don't you call me brother?" Xing Yan complained, changed his shoes, walked towards the sofa, and said to Niu Niu: "Let's learn the piano, you should have watched enough TV."

Niu Niu snorted, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and said, "I don't want to learn the piano today, I'm so tired from learning the piano."

"If you don't learn the piano, you won't be beautiful. Let's learn "Little Star"."

"Is it the one that Ayan played?"

Xing Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.Niuniu said: "I can play that!" She jumped off the sofa and ran into the room, and Xing Yan followed her in.

I saw her sitting in front of the electronic piano in style, with both hands on the keys, singing "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Shining Jingjing", but only one finger was pressing the keys, and there were many mistakes and omissions. A pair of normal ears had to rely on Only by imagining can I hear what she is playing.

After Niuniu finished "playing" a song, she turned her eyes and asked Xing Yan expectantly, "I played it really well, right?"

Faced with such an innocent face of the little girl, Xing Yan couldn't bear to expose her face to face, so he reluctantly applauded and admitted dryly: "Well played, really well played." Turn, "You can play better. Come, I'll teach you!" Without waiting for Niuniu's objection, he found a stool in front of the dressing table next to him and sat down next to Niuniu.

Niu Niu obediently moved her pink chair to the side, Xing Yan hummed two songs, imitating her to play on the keyboard with one finger, but the sound from the electronic organ was very different from hers, making the The restless Niuniu couldn't help but widen her eyes.

After Xing Yan finished playing, she looked at the stunned Niu Niu and asked, "How is it? Do you want to learn?"

Niuniu looked up at him and nodded obediently.Xing Yan touched her head with a smile, and said: "If you want to learn, you should study hard. Don't run out as soon as you heard your mother came back like last time."

Niuniu looked at him and said, "The one who has learned it, can you take me to see my mother?"

Xing Yan was taken aback, "But your mother is working, so let's not bother her."

"Mom obviously works nearby, why can't Niuniu go and see it?" Her eyes suddenly turned red, she lowered her head and whispered, "I miss my mother so much..."

Xing Yan had no choice but to compromise, he said: "Then let's take a look from a distance, don't let your mother find out."

"Pull the hook!" She stretched out her right little finger and said.

Xing Yan also stretched out his little finger and made an agreement with her: "If the hook is hanged, it will not be changed for 100 years."

After making the agreement, Xing Yan looked at his little finger that had just pulled the hook in a daze, and had great doubts about this oath model.It's fine to pull the hook, he can still understand the intuitive action, but what's the matter with this "hanging"?Does the person who broke the agreement have to hang himself?He didn't understand at all, so he thought he might as well wait for He Qi to come back and ask him, maybe he could explain it to him.

Niu Niu shook her little hand in front of his eyes, woke him up, and asked, "Brother Ayan, you are in a daze again, what are you thinking about?"

Xing Yan grabbed her still shaking hand and said, "I'm thinking about how to teach you how to play the piano."

"Liar, you must be thinking of something else." Niuniu unceremoniously exposed him.

Xing Yan had no choice but to say: "Then I don't want to, let's both concentrate on it from now on, okay?"

Niuniu shook off his hand, put her fingers on the keys, and said to him in an adult tone: "Then let's start, A Yan."

Xing Yan smiled wryly, and played on the keyboard. Simple notes flowed out from his index finger. He said to Niu Niu: "As long as you remember the position and sequence of the keys, you can play this song for mom today."

Niuniu looked at it very seriously, and almost pressed her little face against the electronic piano, but after the song was over, she was still so distressed that she couldn't remember it at all.Xing Yan grabbed her hand and moved it on the keys, singing softly while pressing down:

"Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of little stars..."

He grabbed Niu Niu's hand and played it for her. When Niu Niu played by herself, he only memorized the first few notes, but it was already a great improvement for them.

Xing Yan taught her patiently, repeating it over and over again, Niuniu didn't cry tired, it seems that she is determined to learn this piece today.An hour later, Niu Niu finally learned this simple piece of music. When she played the whole song for the first time without Xing Yan's help, she turned around and gave him a surprised smile, and Xing Yan couldn't help but feel heartfelt. He clapped his hands, his palms turned red.

He said: "Hurry up and practice a few more times, and you will be able to pass today!"

But the second time when Niuniu played by herself, she played a wrong key again, which made her feel very discouraged. Xing Yan kept encouraging her, and then she regained her strength and continued to play. It worked.In the next few times, she has been able to play this simple song completely. Although the rhythm sounds a bit stumbling, like a babbling child, it is already a great improvement for her.

Of course Xing Yan couldn't be too demanding on her. When he was Niu Niu's age, he didn't even know what TV was. He only knew how to play the piano every day. The tadpole-shaped notes swimming on the staff were all his childhood.Niuniu is different from him, she doesn't need a pale childhood, music is fine as a playmate, but it must not become her shackles.Xing Yan has great patience and tolerance towards her, and he also knows that this will not make her improve, but whatever, as long as Niu Niu is happy.

Like right now, she's jumping out of her chair and running around the room dancing, overjoyed at a piece she's just learned, dancing and saying, "That's great! I can go see my mom! "

Xing Yan thought to himself, so it was like this, she was concentrating on the chair before, in order to learn the tune and follow behind her to see her mother, Xing Yan forgot.

He stopped her with a smile and said, "Calm down first, let me take you to see your mother, okay?"

Niuniu stood up, pursed her lips vigorously and nodded at him, and really calmed down.

Xing Yan said again: "Let's eat first, and then go out after eating."

Although Niu Niu was a bit reluctant, she still nodded and agreed.
