Everyone was amused by the naughty boy, one old and one young.
Grandma pointed to the piano and asked, "Are you teaching Qing'er to play the piano?"
Cheng Xiang said with a smile: "Yes, Qing'er's pitch is very good and he learns it quickly."
Grandma looked at Qing'er and asked, "How is Qing'er studying?"
Qing'er raised her little face and said, "You've learned a lot."
Cheng Xiang almost spit out his mouthful of water: "This little girl is not modest."
"Really?" Grandma laughed happily: "How about Qing'er playing one for us?"
"Okay." Qing'er agreed readily.
Qing'er took small steps, ran to the piano bench, sat down, adjusted her posture, and started playing the piano.
A melodious "Ode to Joy" came out from Qing'er's fingertips, cheerful and relaxed. Her little hands jumped on the black and white keys with smooth fingering.
Several other people were laymen, but they just thought it was amazing that such a small person could play such beautiful music so skillfully.
Grandma was really knowledgeable. She could hear the tone and pitch. She looked at Cheng Xiang in amazement and whispered to Cheng, "This girl, you won't be qualified to teach in a few years."
Cheng Xiang looked at his grandmother unconvinced.
Grandma smiled softly and said, "Don't be unconvinced. With your level, you can just teach her how to get started. In a few years, I will find a teacher for her."
Cheng Xiang smiled proudly and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to grandma. However, even if one day she becomes a big deal, I will still be her first teacher, and she will also be my favorite disciple."
Grandma clicked her forehead angrily.
On the side, Cheng Ningning's expression became increasingly ugly. She had longed for Cheng to play the piano on stage like a princess, and dreamed that one day she could also be the protagonist in the spotlight.
But this day has not been waiting for me for a long time. The little rural girl in front of me, who is only four or five years old, can actually realize the dream that she has been pursuing and dreaming of.
Her heart was full of mixed feelings and resentment. She turned around and walked out of the house, looked around the yard, and left the yard.
The scenery here is really good, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Today, Cheng Ningning wore a light pink dress and white high-heeled sandals. The big waves spread out, making her look noble and extraordinary.
At this moment, she was walking on the country road in high heels. Her mood was completely different from when she was a child, wearing cloth shoes and running on the country road.
At this time, she had a kind of pretentious nobility. She was a city dweller who came to the countryside to enjoy the scenery.
People coming and going in the village at the door stared at her. The men's eyes were burning, and the women's eyes were envious.
These looks made her feel very useful. She flipped her hair and smiled brightly at those people. With a smile and helplessness on her face, she carefully stepped on the dirt road.
She held up the hem of her skirt and walked tiptoe, with a bright smile on her face.
She stopped by the river, leaning forward with her hands behind her back to look at the fish in the river.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Zhang, Zhang Ningning?"
When this name rang in her ears, Cheng Ningning felt a chill all over her body and her face gradually turned pale.
She slowly turned around and saw a dark-skinned and fat woman standing next to her, staring at her.
She also felt that this woman looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was: "You, who are you?"
"I'm Huang Mei." Huang Mei was in high spirits, her face a little red with excitement: "We are classmates in elementary school, and we were at the same table."
Cheng Ningning rolled her eyes and thought: "Is it you? Huang Mei?" There was indeed such a person. She was at the same table with her when she was in the fourth grade of elementary school. However, Huang Mei started school late and was several years older than Cheng Ningning. She dropped out of school when she was six years old. No more reading.
They had a good relationship when they were children, and Huang Meiren was more generous and thoughtful than her.
At that time, the two formed a clique, were supported by some girls, and also isolated many girls.
If anyone is disobedient, they will ask everyone to ignore her and stop playing with her.
At that time, there was a girl in the class who was very good at studying. She was also mature and well-liked. She was very popular with the class teacher, Teacher Yang, and made her the class monitor.
As a result, Cheng Ningning and Huang Mei teamed up with other girls to isolate others. They failed to hand in their homework and made noise in class. The girl, as the class monitor, was in charge of their discipline. They were dissatisfied and deliberately caused trouble. The girls had no choice but to tell the teacher.
Huang Mei and Cheng Ningning were called to the office by Teacher Yang and severely criticized, and they held a grudge.
They teamed up to spread rumors that Teacher Yang was having an affair with the girl and had broken shoes. For a while, the rumor spread in the school.
During that sensitive period, the profession of teacher was already devalued to a very low level, almost as low as dust.
As soon as this incident was reported, the teacher was labeled as a "rapist", paraded in the street, expelled from the school, and sent to pick up excrement.
A people's teacher turned into a humiliating farmer.
He denied it and resisted, but those people arrested his mother, forced him to admit it, and asked him to sign an admission letter, which stated that "I admitted it in the past, I admit it now, I will admit it in the future, and I will admit it even after I am buried.", throughout his life. In this way, he was nailed to the pillar of shame, with no way to appeal and nowhere to appeal.
When such a rumor spread about that girl, her family felt that they had lost face, so they asked her to drop out of school. After doing farm work at home for a few years, they married her hastily.
Huang Mei also knew at that time that many boys in the school coveted Cheng Ningning's beauty, and she also received a lot of benefits behind Cheng Ningning's back.
Taking the handkerchief, silk scarf, homework book and pencil used by Cheng Ningning, she went to exchange steamed buns and sesame cakes with the boys.
Later, Cheng Ningning suddenly stopped coming to school. I heard that she married her mother and went to the city. She also saw that Cheng Ningning’s mother, a middle-aged lady with tender skin and tender flesh, was really wasting her wealth by marrying a mute man. .
She didn't expect that she was going to go up the mountain to cut firewood today. She saw a fashionable and beautiful woman by the river. She looked more familiar as she got closer. Although Cheng Ningning looked noble and dignified now, she didn't have the rustic look she had when she was young.
But I can still recognize that she is the same Zhang Ningning back then.
"Zhang Ningning, why are you here?" Huang Mei happily went up to hold Cheng Ningning's hand and asked in surprise.
Cheng Ningning calmly pulled her hand back, put on a smile and said, "I'm here to visit a relative."
"Relatives? Who are your relatives?" Huang Mei asked curiously, then suddenly changed her mind: "I heard from the villagers that a group of guests from the city came to Zhou Tianlei's house. Could it be you?"
After Huang Mei divorced Zhou Cheng, her parents' family thought she was embarrassed and wouldn't let her go back to her parents' home. She had nowhere to go, so she went to Zhou Tianwang's house.
At first, Zhou Tianwang's mother refused to let her in, saying she was a pest and would ruin her son's reputation, but Huang Mei stayed at the door and refused to leave.
