860. The old and young in the so-called taste of the grandfather and grandson [Part 2]
'The way home'
‘Clap the dust on your shoulders’
At this point in the song, judging from the direction of the harmony, it is almost over.
Qin Jian looked at the TV screen and clinked glasses with Qin Gang
"No matter how tired you are, you can still keep going."
“I’m really happy to be home”
As Liu Tianwang's singing ended on the TV, a burst of applause and shouts erupted from the audience.
"Qin Jian, I heard from grandpa that if you still have a chance to attend the Spring Festival Gala next year, you can do it for them. At worst, our family will go to Yanjing to spend New Year's Eve with you."
When Mr. Fang learned that his grandson did not attend the Spring Festival Gala this year because he wanted to go home for the New Year, he felt both happy and regretful.
However, he clearly saw that in the program introduction, Qin Jian's name was on the third line, higher than the names of several old artists he was familiar with.
Although He Jing had already explained to him what arrangement was, he still couldn't quite understand it, but that didn't stop him from feeling extremely proud of it.
After hearing what his father-in-law said, Qin Gang happily followed: "Did you hear what grandpa said? Next year, you can worry about your work."
This ordinary but heartwarming scene is probably the best reason why Qin Jian insists on going home to celebrate his thirties this year.
It's enough to have New Year's Eve dinner with your family, chat and watch TV shows together.
"cheers."
"cheers.
He Jing's cell phone lit up nearby. She picked it up and took a look. It was Ye Yi who was replying to her New Year's message.
Ye Yi: Happy New Year's Eve, sister. I wish my sister a smooth career and good health to my uncle and aunt in the new year.
There are only three short sentences, not the long string of blessings like last year.
He Jing hesitated for a moment and put down her phone.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Qin Jian saw clearly from the opposite side that He Jing's expression had just changed, "Whose information?"
He Jing took a piece of fish and fed it to her mouth: "An old classmate who I haven't contacted in five or six years suddenly sent a New Year greeting message."
Qin Jian smiled: "Then you won't reply to anyone."
He Jing: "It's okay, I'll come back later."
Fang Xuehua: "By the way, Qin Jian, when will your art exam class meet this year?"
Qin Jian wasn't too sure about this. In the afternoon, the group was still discussing the party, but the time hadn't been decided yet.
"I don't know yet. I guess it will be in the seventh or eighth grade of junior high school. Many classmates are still outside the province and have not returned."
Fang Xuehua: "Yeah, you go see your teacher then. Your dad and I have prepared things for you."
Qin Jian: "Mom, don't worry."
——
The Spring Festival Gala on the TV continued with the New Year's Eve dinner, heading straight to "Unforgettable Tonight".
Time passes by.
Although the old people persisted until the early morning.
First, Mr. Fang couldn't sit still, so Fang Xuehua arranged for the old couple to go to Qin Jian's room to rest.
Then Grandma Qin Jian couldn't sit still anymore and went to He Jing's bedroom.
But Mr. Qin sat there and stayed with his grandchildren until the end.
"Happy New Year!"
As the New Year's bell rings
He Jing stood up to pick up the wine.
The remaining five people raised their glasses together.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
Almost at the same moment, a burst of "boomboomboom" sounded over Yangcheng, and the windows were lit up by patches of brightly colored fireworks.
From the first day of the Lunar New Year to New Year's Eve, one year.
The Year of the Sheep has passed.
From New Year's Eve to the first day of the Lunar New Year, one day.
The Year of the Monkey has arrived.
The keeping of the year is finally completed at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and the new year belonging to the Chinese people begins at this moment.
"Unforgettable Tonight" was sung on TV.
The busy day gradually comes to an end in this unforgettable song.
——
At midnight, firecrackers occasionally sound in the quiet night.
In the quiet living room, only the two siblings were left.
This year they moved to a bigger house, but the two of them still couldn't escape the fate of sleeping on the sofa when they were thirty.
Because both their bedrooms are occupied.
Qin Gang came to the living room drunkenly with a quilt in his arms, "Jingjing, go sleep in the room."
He Jing stood up and waved her hand: "Go in and have a rest. We still want to talk."
Qin Jian also stood up and said, "Dad, go to sleep quickly and don't worry about us."
Seeing this, Qin Gang nodded, "Then you two go to bed early and get up early tomorrow morning. Don't sleep until early morning."
After that, he put down the quilt and went back to the bedroom.
The two people in the living room each made a temporary sofa for tonight. After taking turns to wash up, they covered themselves with quilts and turned off the lights.
"Sister, how long can you stay here?"
"The flight departs from Haishi on the night of the tenth day of the lunar month."
"Did you tell your parents?"
"Not yet, let's wait for two days until they ask me. What about you?"
"Come on sixteen, go back and deal with school matters. It's almost March, so it's time to set off."
"Have you made any plans for the next two years?"
"It's not clear yet. I'll just practice and study. I hope to record an album of Beethoven's sonatas by the end of this year."
"Very good, what about Duan Ran, what is her plan?"
"She, I can't tell you if you ask me this. She should be in school. With her current major and reputation, and her family conditions, if she wants to do something, it's actually very easy. She was invited to participate in this summer's
Paris Music Festival.”
"Oh? This is one of the four major music festivals in Europe."
"Yes, it's just her attitude. How should I put it? It feels quite indifferent. Sometimes I don't know what she is pursuing."
"How to say?"
"I can't say, it's just that she arranges all the issues between piano practice and professional life in an orderly manner, but it's hard for me to find out from her her true feelings about the piano."
"What's wrong with this?"
"It's not that there's anything wrong with it. I hope she can be better. I hope she can have her own pursuits instead of focusing entirely on our relationship."
moment.
Since He Jing didn't answer immediately, the silence seemed to amplify Qin Jian's words.
He Jing was indeed a little surprised by Qin Jian's words.
Even Qin Jian himself was surprised at how he said such a sentence.
But the moment he said it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"Did you feel the emotional burden from her?"
After a long time, He Jing asked softly.
Qin Jian didn't know what to answer for a moment, but it only took a moment.
"No sister, it's not this problem. I don't think it has anything to do with our relationship. It's just that I simply hope she can be better."
"So you don't want her to invest more time and energy in managing your relationship?"
"Probably." Qin Jian was not sure.
He Jing smiled: "I don't understand you."
"Ah?" Qin Jian was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and changed the topic, "Don't just talk about me, what about you? Grandpa is urging me to have a great-grandson today."
He Jing hummed, and actually answered Qin Jian's joke seriously.
"In a few years, I'll wait until my career is stable. Then I'll have the time and energy to think about having children."
Qin Jian: "This~"
He Jing: "What?"
Qin Jian: "Shouldn't we fall in love and get married first?"
He Jing turned over and climbed up and looked in the direction of Qin Jian: "Who told you that you must fall in love and get married to have a child?"
