Su Yuxi stood at the door for a long time, eyes lowered, wondering what she was thinking.
Mr. Su was the only person in the Su family who was kind to her. Sometimes, when he got interested, he would ask her to play some piano music that the old lady liked to listen to during her lifetime. If she was happy, he would ask the housekeeper to give her a package.
Get a big red envelope or buy a small gift.
The relationship between grandfather and grandson is neither far nor close, and they get along fairly well.
"Jiang Qi, you and he should wait in the car first." She blocked Jiang Qi who wanted to follow her in and said.
"Okay miss."
The Su family's old house is a retro-style villa. You walk through a garden path to the main entrance. Su Yuxi raised her hand and pressed the doorbell. The door opened the next second, as if she knew it was her standing outside.
"Little miss, you are here." The housekeeper took her schoolbag with a kind expression.
"Well, hello, Grandpa Butler." Su Yuxi also greeted politely, sat on the stool at the entrance and changed her shoes.
I looked around the living room, but there was no one there, and then I glanced at the phone watch on my wrist. It was only seven o'clock in the evening. The old man had a very regular schedule, and at this time, he probably hadn't rested yet.
"Has the little lady eaten?" the housekeeper asked.
"I'm not hungry yet, so I won't eat tonight." She replied, then raised her head and asked the housekeeper: "Where is my grandpa?"
"Master is in the piano room. If you want to practice the piano today, you can use the one downstairs first..."
Su Yuxi pursed her lips, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she glanced at the piano placed in the corner of the living room. Before the housekeeper could finish speaking, she walked upstairs.
In the piano room, this seems to be just what she wants...
Knock knock knock——
She knocked on the piano room door.
After a long while, an old and hoarse voice came out: "Come in."
"Xixi is here, come here, come to grandpa." Mr. Su saw her, smiled and waved to her.
Su Yuxi obediently closed the door, walked over, and was hugged by Su Hongzhi and sat on the piano bench.
"Grandpa, are you unhappy today?"
She sat next to Su Hongcai, her legs hanging in the air, her eyes were as clear and pure as she should be at her age, and her childish voice was so sweet that it seemed to soothe people's hearts, and she asked hesitantly.
Su Hongzhi touched her head, "Why do you think grandpa is unhappy?"
"When grandpa is happy, his beard curls upward."
Su Yuxi stared at the mustache on his mouth seriously and pointed at it, as if she was really analyzing the reasons for his unhappiness.
Su Hongzhi held her little hand, scratched her nose, and laughed out loud: "My good granddaughter is really a clever little girl!"
"Grandpa, I learned a new piece of music today and I'll play it for you. You won't be unhappy after listening to it."
She made weird piano-playing gestures towards him and smiled playfully.
"Okay! Grandpa, listen!"
Su Yuxi sat upright, raised her hands slightly, placed them on the keys, closed her eyes, and recalled the music score in her mind that read 'Ding Qing'.
She didn't know how much the old man felt for the late old lady, but he couldn't hide his interest in the old lady's original piano music.
The old lady is a pianist, and she has read some of her original piano music manuscripts. Today, if she remembers correctly, should be the death anniversary of the old lady.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and playing a piece of music that the old man was interested in made him feel comfortable, and then she could ask him to adopt Shi Xi.
After all, compared to Su Hongshuo, Su Hongzhi is easier to talk to.
Her fingers skillfully pressed on the keys, and a light yet sad tune flowed out from under her little hand.
Su Hongzhi was listening beside him, and slowly fell into a trance, his cloudy yet shrewd eyes darkening.
"Xixi, who taught you this piece of music?"
He was a little excited, his hoarse voice visibly trembled a bit, and the force on her shoulders unconsciously increased.
"Last time you asked me to read grandma's piano score. I memorized it and played it. It sounded very good." Su Yuxi blinked her eyes, looking ignorant, as pure as an elf.
...
Su Hongzhi didn't know what happened, but after listening to the piano music Su Yuxi had just played, he hurriedly took her hand downstairs and took out a stack of piano scores from the study for her to read.
"Grandpa, I want to ask you a favor, can you?"
Su Yuxi put down the music score in her hand, fiddled with the phone watch on her wrist, and sent a message to Jiang Qi, asking him to bring Shi Xi in.
"What's the matter?" Su Hongcai asked.
Her tangled expression was written all over her face, and she pouted her mouth slightly, looking like it was difficult to speak.
Seeing that she was silent, Su Hongzhi's eyes moved from the music score to her troubled face, and said with a kind smile:
"Say it, grandpa promises you."
"I have a friend who has no parents. He is very pitiful. I want to take him home to play with him." She paused, and the disappointment in her tone was not concealed. "But the aunt said that only the person who adopts him can take him."
go home."
"So Grandpa, can you adopt him?" Her moist eyes were shining with hope, staring straight at Su Hongcai.
"Xixi, do you know what adoption means?"
Su Yuxi nodded, "Jiang Qi explained to me that he would become my family."
"Then grandpa will help you take him home. Can you also promise grandpa something?" Su Hongcai's eyes flashed.
Adopting a child is nothing. Since he can read the music score and play the music written by that woman, his little granddaughter is really of great use to him.
Su Yuxi didn't expect that he would agree to her so easily without asking anything. She felt a little surprised and responded slowly.
"There are seven hundred pieces of piano music here. You learn one piece every week, practice it, and then come back and play it for grandpa on the weekend." Su Hongcai shook the pile of piano music in his hand and said.
Learn one piece of music every week? Do you need to practice it? Is she a CD player?
She frowned and didn't think much about it. It was indeed a bit reluctant to perform Yiyi Zhou, but she still agreed first: "Grandpa, I promise you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qi came in with Shi Xi.
Su Yuxi's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up from the sofa, ran over and held Shi Xi's hand, and excitedly introduced to Su Hongcai:
"Grandpa, this is my friend, Shi Xi."
"Hello." Su Hongcai looked at the little boy in front of him and greeted him with a smile. He was amiable, without any airs, and very friendly.
Before coming here, she asked Jiang Qi to take him to take a bath and buy new clothes, so now he looks fair and clean, with pretty features and pretty eyes, and his hair is a little long, like a little girl.
Shi Xi nervously held Su Yuxi's hand and whispered, "Hello, grandpa."
Su Hongcai agreed to adopt Shi Xi and asked his secretary to go through the adoption process in front of her. She was relieved of her worries.
As for whether he will become a black man in the future, it is easy to say if he stays by her side.
evening.
When the housekeeper was about to take Shi Xi to the guest room, he grabbed her sleeve, shook his head, and asked cautiously: "Can I sleep with you?"
Su Yuxi raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that he was afraid of strangers, so she took him to her room. It happened that her bed in the old house had bunk beds.
"You sleep up there." She came out of the shower, found a set of her pajamas from the closet for him, pointed to the upper bunk and said.
After saying that, she lay down on the lower bunk and closed her eyes. She didn't even dry her hair, and her upper and lower eyelids began to fight, tight with exhaustion.
Pretending to be a kid is very tiring, even more tiring than going to class.
