Wu Xin would come to County A once a month, and the location was above Liu Li's office.After finishing her work, she would come down to play with Liu Li, because Wu Xin and her mother had agreed not to go back at night because they had a rest the next day, but to spend the night at Jiang Tao's house.

The three of them came back from shopping in the supermarket, Liu Li put the vegetables and meat in the kitchen, Wu Xin and Jiang Tao came to the living room with snacks.

"You can play the piano?"

"will not."

"Then this piano..."

"For decoration, put something nice."

"..." Wu Xin touched the keys of the piano speechlessly, and sat down.

"You know how to play?" Liu Li put away his things and walked over.

"Well, I practiced when I was a child."

"The last time I went to your house, didn't you see a piano?"

"At my father's house..." Wu Xin hesitated, but told them anyway,

"After my parents divorced, my mother and I came to my grandmother's house, and the piano stayed there without moving."

"It's been a long time since I played, my hands are raw..."

Liu Li also sat down, and played the double reed with Wu Xin with his right hand. Although his left hand was disabled, his right hand was fine.

Looking at them playing the piano seriously, Jiang Tao felt mixed feelings.

Jiang Tao is more or less envious of them. Although Liu Li's grandmother is a bit arrogant and Wu Xin's mother is mentally retarded, there are family members by their side, and she is alone. The only ones who accompany her every night are her grandparents. The thoughts left by her grandparents.But now she suddenly found that it was not easy for both of them.

The hot pot was eaten for dinner. The three of them were in a good mood and drank a lot of beer.

Liu Li reluctantly went back at ten o'clock, Wu Xin and Jiang Tao washed up and went to sleep, and made the bed. Jiang Tao habitually took the baby out of the backpack and put it on the bedside.

The baby was wrapped in a pink cloth bag, Wu Xin curiously picked it up and weighed it.

"What's in there?"

"It's all my darling..." Jiang Tao took out the things like offering treasures and arranged them in a row, introducing them to Wu Xin one by one.

"That's great, everyone left you a treasure, and the four old people in my family are gone, so nothing was left for me..." Wu Xin pursed her mouth pretending to be jealous.

Probably because she was alone for too long, looking at Wu Xin lying next to her, Jiang Tao felt very happy, and she wished that time could stop and stop at this moment forever.

"Chengzi..." Jiang Tao looked at Wu Xin, and finally decided to speak out what she had been holding back all night.

"Actually, the piano in the living room belongs to Li Zi."

"Why put it here with you?"

Liu Li's grandma is a very face-saving person. She was a young widow and took Liu Li's father alone. In order not to let others look down on her, she forced her son to be a superior person since she was a child. at the beginning.

Grandma Liu is also an old-fashioned, patriarchal person. When Liu's father was ten years old, he suffered a serious illness and almost died.

Father Liu had a girlfriend when he was in college. The girlfriend responded to the call of the country, regardless of gender, only willing to have one child. Grandma Liu was very dissatisfied with this and forcibly separated them.After much deliberation, she decided to find a daughter-in-law who didn't have a formal job but was obedient and easy to manage. After several screenings, she chose Liu Li's mother who came to the county to work from the countryside.

Ms. Liu's family is very poor. She dropped out of school before finishing junior high school to work to support her brother's education.For her, being able to marry Liu Li's father is a high priority for her. In addition, Grandma Liu is harsh, so she is always cautious, for fear that what she does not do well enough will make them unhappy.

Grandma Liu was not very angry that the first child was a girl, but the second child was a girl, and the old man couldn't stand it anymore.She scolded her daughter-in-law and ordered her to kill her. Miscarriage hurts her health. Grandma Liu made all kinds of things to discourage her. Finally, she fell ill from exhaustion. After trying all kinds of methods, she still failed. pregnant with a child.Liu's mother already had low self-esteem, and her failure to continue the incense for the Liu family made her feel inferior to the dust. Since then, she has become even more cautious, and dare not even speak.Liu Li was ignorant when she was young, and said that her mother was more like a nanny than a hostess.

Grandma Liu once advised her son to divorce and remarry, but her son, who has always been obedient, has a firm attitude towards this matter: she does not agree.

"After so many years of marriage, I have already had feelings, let alone children;"

"Liu Li's mother can no longer bear children, and we are also responsible;"

"Now is a new era, and the patriarchal thinking should be changed;"

"Although she is a girl, if she is brought up to a high level, we will be rich and happy in the future."

Everything Liu Li's father said was reasonable, but grandma had no choice but to accept her fate, and since then she has focused on cultivating Liu Li.

Grandma believes that temperament is the most important thing for a girl. In order to cultivate Liu Li's temperament, she was asked to choose between playing the piano and dancing ballet after the screening.Liu Li was not even interested. She simply thought that dancing ballet seemed hard work and playing the piano seemed easier, so she chose the piano.

Under his grandma's strict discipline and his own unremitting efforts, Liu Li was admitted to the piano department of a prestigious music academy. In Liu Li's impression, that was the only time grandma smiled at her and praised her for being promising.

In fact, when she learned that Liu Li was officially hired by the school, grandma was also very happy, but unfortunately something happened before she could show it...

After 20 years of hard work, it was in vain. Grandma went crazy and made a big fuss, almost smashing the piano.For grandma, it was meaningless not to be a teacher and keep the piano at home. She watched and asked them to throw it away. Liu Li was reluctant and moved to Jiang Tao's house.

After being injured, they were afraid that the other party's worries would always be calm and calm, pretending that it didn't matter, but in fact Liu Li was the saddest.After telling Wu Xin all this, Jiang Tao felt that the stone that had been in her heart for two years fell to the ground, and she felt much more relaxed.

Early the next morning, Liu Li bought breakfast and came over. The two of them chatted until very late, resulting in serious sleep deprivation. They stayed in bed and refused to get up. Liu Li lifted the quilt and picked them up one by one...

After breakfast, Wu Xin visited Jiang Tao's study room. The bookcases were full of comics, and there was a drawing board on the computer desk.

"You draw manga?"

"Well, I wanted to be a cartoonist, and I drew a few short stories for submission, but they all failed."

Wu Xin randomly took out one from the bookcase, opened it...put it back, took another one, opened...put it back, took another one...then she scanned all the comics on the bookcase with her eyes.

"You are really single-minded, full of beauty."

"Hey..." Jiang Tao was a little embarrassed by what she said,

"Are you anti-gay?"

"No, I'll watch it too..." Wu Xin seemed to have remembered something,

"Are you terrible at drawing?"

"No, I think my paintings are pretty good, and they are very popular on Weibo~~ I have [-] fans~~" Jiang Tao looked proud,

"But the submission has never been successful..." Immediately, it froze like a discouraged ball...

"Can you show me the manga you drew?"

"Okay," Jiang Tao turned on the computer,

"Help me see where the problem is."

Wu Xin read all Jiang Tao's paintings...

"ask you a question,"

"what is the problem?"

"Did someone report you on Weibo?"

"Uh...yes...in fact, I was often reported and even blocked..." Jiang Tao stuck out her tongue.

"That's right. China is not as open as Japan. Homosexual themes are already restricted in various ways. What you paint is nothing but meat. It's completely banned by the eighteenth century. Who dares to ask you?"

"Also, the unfolding of the story is too inexplicable,"

"Have it?"

"Yes, look at this article, why did the two suddenly hug each other and kiss passionately?"

"Isn't there an old saying 'a little farewell is better than a newlywed', well, I was so happy to finally see each other, and I kissed each other as soon as I was happy..."

"Then go home and kiss, isn't it appropriate at the airport? It's fine to just kiss, why do you have to take off your clothes..."

"And this one, you laid out so many memes at the beginning, giving people the illusion of a long story, and I believed it could be serialized for eight years, but in the end you finished eight chapters, and you didn't explain the memes at all..."

"And this one..." Every one of Jiang Tao's paintings was criticized by Wu Xin.

"Your artist is OK, but the level of storytelling is too bad. Have you never thought about collaborating with others? Or adapting novels?"

"I never thought about it, I want to be original."

"Then you have to practice harder, why don't you write down the whole story like a novel first, think about whether the character setting and plot development are reasonable, and then start drawing..."

"Chengzi, listening to Jun's words is better than reading ten years of books, thank you so much!" Jiang Tao listened very carefully, and wrote down every word Wu Xin said.

"But why didn't my fans find these bugs?"

"Because they only love meat, as long as there is a meat plot, they can ignore it, and people who like to watch the plot will not pay attention to you."

"..."

Liu Li didn't understand these things, so he couldn't intervene, so he listened quietly.

"Cheng Zi, you know a lot. Can you also draw?"

"No, I just like to watch."

There is a question, Liu Li was very curious when he met Wu Xin for the first time, and he never had the nerve to ask, but today he finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"Chengzi, do you have a scar on your forehead?"

"No, why do you ask that?"

"Your bangs are so long..."

"..."

Wu Xin pushed back her bangs with a suppressed smile,

"There is no scar, I am just too lazy to cut it, and I got used to it later."

"It's time to cut it, my eyes are almost completely covered..." Wu Xin tugged at his bangs.

"Let me cut it for you."

"Can you cut?"

"Yes, I often help everyone cut bangs, I am very good at it."

Wu Xin sat on the bench, and Liu Li helped her cut it.Looking at her face carefully, the eyebrows are thick, black and long, just as I imagined, and the face looks more and more beautiful...

Jiang Tao yelled that her own bangs had grown too, and Liu Li helped Wu Xin cut them again after she finished cutting them. The sun was shining outside the window, and inside the window were three young girls playing around, everything was so beautiful.
