Chapter 115 Going Home (3)

Lu Wei's grandmother lives on the street behind Lu Wei's house. She bought the house in the village brigade. It was already very dilapidated and the yard was very large and full of grapes. Lu Wei's favorite here in summer. Every time she came, she would pick the largest and most reddish grapes for Lu Wei to pick a large plastic bag.

"Madam, are you at home?" Lu Wei knocked on the door with a tin bag and shouted inside.

"Here you come." Grandma's voice came from the front yard.

"It's Dawei, come, sneak into the house and wait a moment." Grandma held a handful of unselected leeks in her hand and greeted Lu Wei with a smile.

"Madam, my uncle and the others have not come back?" Lu Wei asked while walking into the house.

"No, I said I'll come back the day after tomorrow and stay for two days. There's a lot of things happening in their factory before the New Year." Grandma Lu Wei said, and habitually flipping through the cabinets with butter paint in the room.

"Madam, stop looking for it. My mother is making dumplings. Let me ask you to eat together." Lu Wei smiled at her grandmother who was looking for it. Lu Wei was very familiar with this cabinet. When he was a child, every time Lu Wei came to his grandmother's house, his grandmother would take out some food from the cabinet for Lu Wei. After many years, this habit has not changed. It really fits the saying, in the eyes of the old man, no matter how old you are, you are a child.

Grandma didn't respond to Lu Wei's words at all. She took out a box of cakes for a while and handed them to Lu Wei and said, "Eat a piece. This was made by your concubine in a cake shop in the county two days ago. She put a lot of eggs, which was so delicious."

Unable to resist grandma's kindness, Lu Wei picked up a few bites and ate them in, and then said, "Madam, let's go, my mother and the others are still waiting."

"I'm not going, I'm doing it too." Grandma said as she took the basin to prepare the dough.

"Stop making it, eat something together. What's the point of being at home? You're waiting." Lu Wei said, taking the basin in his grandma's hand and putting it aside, gently pushing it towards the door.

"Zhongzhongzhong, listen to my grandson, haha, wait for my grandmother to close the door." Grandma said, leaving the house with Lu Wei, turned around and locked the door carefully, and slowly walked towards the street intersection with Lu Wei.

Seeing his grandmother's slightly staggering steps, Lu Wei felt a little uncomfortable. Lu Wei had never seen his grandfather since he was a child. He heard that his grandfather died of liver cancer before Lu Wei was born. His grandmother lived with four daughters and one son. His grandmother's eldest daughter died of illness at the age of seven. His mother often talked about those difficult days with Lu Wei, which made Lu Wei respect his grandmother from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as he entered the room, Lu Wei heard a mess of playing the piano. When he entered the room, he saw Xiaomei sitting in front of the piano playing around. Seeing Lu Wei coming in, Xiaomei jumped off the stool and smiled and said, "Brother, can you play the piano for me?"

"Okay, no problem, I'm going to finish my meal." Lu Wei said, and went over and turned on the computer.

"Qingzi, when did I buy a TV? It's so big." As soon as my grandma entered the house, she saw the new TV placed on the cabinet. It's now seven o'clock in the evening, and the Central Station is playing the news broadcast.

"Your grandson bought it, I just brought it back today." Lu Wei's mother said while holding dumplings on the table.

"Just TV? Mom, take a look." Lu Wei's father pulled Lu Wei's grandma to watch each room and made the old lady look good.

"Where did Dawei get so much money?" Grandma asked.

"He said he earned money by writing songs, and we don't know much about it." Dad said casually.

"This kid, I'll go out to study in the first half of the year and become capable." Grandma Lu Wei smiled with her glasses.

"What is this? It's so small, is it a small color TV?" Grandma said, looking at the screen with blue sky and white clouds.

"Mom, this is your grandson's computer, it is a high-tech thing." Lu Wei's mother smiled.

"Oh, hehe, I haven't seen it before."

"Come on, have a meal first." Lu Wei's father greeted him, and the whole family ate steaming dumplings around the table.

Lu Wei loves to eat dumplings at home. My father’s dumpling filling is definitely awesome. It’s much more delicious than those in restaurants. Lu Wei can eat more than 20 times each time. At this moment, Lu Wei picked up the dumplings and chewed them up, saying, “It’s so delicious, I haven’t tasted the skills at home anymore.”

"Who told you to go home for half a year and don't miss home at all." My mother blamed her with a smile.

"I have a lot of things outside." Lu Wei said while eating.

After dinner, Lu Wei took out the prepared 2,000 yuan from his bag and handed it to his grandma and said, "Madam, take this, keep it for the New Year and buy something."

"I don't want it! You are not married yet, and my grandma still has to give you New Year's money. Why do I give me money? I still have my hands. Don't want it. I'll keep it for you to go to school." Grandma said and pushed back.

"Just take it, grandma. I have earned some money outside in the past six months. In the past year, you gave us New Year's money. Now that we are all grown up, it's our turn to respect you." Lu Wei said as he quickly stuffed the money into his grandma's pocket. Seeing that grandma was going to take it out, Lu Wei covered his grandma's pocket.

"Haha, mom, just take it. What do you want from your eldest grandson?" Seeing Lu Wei so sensible, my mother said happily.

"I'll pretend, then I'm pretending, oh, I didn't expect that I, the old lady, still enjoy the blessing of my grandson." Seeing that my daughter said the same thing, grandma stopped paying money outside and said happily.

"Mom, don't you feel that the room is very warm?" Lu Wei's father said with a smile.

"Well, I felt quite warm as soon as I came in. I'll burn too much tonight."

"Where are you? Look at the wall!" said my father pointing to the air conditioner that was delivering warm air.

"Ah, this is the air conditioner. I saw it when I lived in your aunt's house in Beijing. This is a great thing, warm in winter and cool in summer." Grandma said with a smile.

"Haha, the old lady is quite knowledgeable. So many people didn't realize it was an air conditioner just now. I'll ask your grandson to install one for you." Lu Wei's mother smiled.

"Okay, no problem. I will call Suning tomorrow and ask them to send another one." Lu Wei said with a smile.

"I don't want this, it's quite power-consuming. My house burns the kang every day, and it's quite hot." Grandma waved her hand.

"Don't be polite to your grandson. This brat is rich now. Let him be filial to you." Lu Wei's mother smiled.

The mother and the mother were chatting, but Lu Wei's father became interested in the piano. He had played the organ when he was fine at school and liked it very much. However, when he stepped on the organ that was as big as him, the sound of the wind was louder than the sound of the piano. Now, when he saw the piano, his hands couldn't help but itch again.

My father worked as a civilian teacher for two years and learned some music knowledge. Although he didn't know the simplified score, he knew a little about the simplified score. He immediately greeted Lu Wei and said, "Son, tell me which one is do, and I'll try this trick."

Lu Wei sweated for a while and thought to himself which one is do? If you follow the twelve average rhythms of the piano, each key can be do, but if you say to your father, it seems that he doesn't understand, it's better to tell him do in C major.

"Dad, look at these black keys, two black keys next to each other, the left side of the black key on the left is do."

"Oh, it's easy to know which one is do. Go find me a piece of paper." Dad ordered.

Although it was strange why my father was looking for paper to play the piano, Lu Wei still tore a piece from his younger sister's notebook and took a pen over. Next, Lu Wei saw a very funny scene:

My father put the paper on the piano stand, starting from the center C, marked 1234567 at the corresponding positions of each white key, and then used the index finger of the right hand to hit the numbers one by one. Although it was played intermittently, it actually had a bit of a melody. Lu Wei heard that it was playing "Oriental Red"

"You should just pull it down quickly, play that kind of thing, stuttering," my mother smiled from the side.

"Dongfang Hong, didn't you hear it?" My dad continued to play as he said, but after a few times, he actually played smoothly.

"I can hear some sounds when I'm still there," my mother said with a smile.

"Let Dawei play one for you, so that the old lady can also enjoy the piano music," the father stood up and said with a smile.
