Coming out of the parking lot, Qiao Weidong looked back many times. He didn't know whether it was because he was afraid that Song Qian would catch up, or because he was reluctant to leave the Lego Millennium Falcon scattered all over the place. The video that Lin Yue sent to Qiao Yingzi just now could not be withdrawn, and she could not be seen. What kind of reaction? I think I was still in class.
"You said how sad it would be for Yingzi to know."
After Qiao Weidong said this, he didn't respond. He turned to look out the car window and found that the car had arrived at the musical instrument street in the south of Xinjiekou.
Seeing Lin Yue stop the car and pretend to unbuckle his seat belt, he checked the position again: "Why did you bring me here?"
"follow me."
Lin Yue didn't say much, and took him to a musical instrument store on the roadside. There was a bulletin board at the door, which was about buying musical instruments and giving lessons during the school season. There was a row of guitars hanging on the wall on the left, with many colors and different shapes. Different brands, ranging from Kama and Xingchen domestic guitars worth a few hundred yuan, to Taylor and Yamaha guitars worth several thousand yuan. There are also guitars on the right wall, but not many. There are a few placed outside, and then inside There are two rows of basses, as well as several pipa and guzheng, and the selection is small.
There is a set of drums directly opposite the gate. The brand name is , and the price is about 10,000 yuan.
Seeing the two people walking into the room, the boss put down the magazine in his hand and stood up to respond.
"Which musical instrument do you want to choose for your child? Do you want me to help introduce the characteristics of each brand?"
"Heh, look, let's take a look first."
Qiao Weidong had never heard of Lin Yue's talent in this area. He couldn't figure out what he was going to do, so he chose to deal with the boss's questions.
"okay."
The boss turned his attention to Lin Yue and understood from the above conversation that the decision of what to buy does not lie with the parents but with the children.
What surprised him was that the boy who looked to be in his late teens didn't even look at the guitar and bass hanging on the wall, nor was he interested in the drum kit in the middle. He walked straight to the display shelf diagonally opposite the counter, with several A violin, and in a glass case below are a French horn, a cornet and a saxophone.
"how much is this?"
Lin Yue asked, pointing to the Yamaha tenor saxophone in front of him.
The boss was stunned for a moment before replying: "8888."
Generally, when a boy of his age comes to the store, what he sees the most are guitars and basses, followed by drums and electronic keyboards. Not to mention the saxophone, it is rare, at least not more than three times a month.
"That's it. Give me a mute. Do you have a mute?"
"Yes, yes."
The boss opened the back door and walked into the warehouse. He walked out half a minute later holding a big box.
Lin Yue asked: "How much is the total?"
"The mute is 1500, the saxophone is 8888, so let's round up the fraction and round it up, maybe ten thousand."
"good."
He didn't bargain, and pointed to Qiao Weidong standing behind him: "Find the bill with him."
"You are too..."
Qiao Weidong had long expected this outcome, but spending 10,000 yuan on this still felt a little painful.
Lin Yue said: "Didn't you promise to your grandparents that you would treat me as your own? Qiao Yingzi has 8848 Lego Millennium Falcon, and you can't bear to part with it when it comes to me?"
Yes, waiting for him here, Qiao Weidong wishes he could slap himself in the face.
"Buy, buy!"
Qiao Weidong took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay, and Lin Yue left the musical instrument store carrying two boxes.
Half an hour later, the two returned to Room 602, Building 6, Shuxiangyayuan.
Only then did Qiao Weidong receive a reply from Qiao Yingzi, which was a frustrated "Dad, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Yingzi, dad will buy it for you again."
After he finished speaking, he put down the phone, and Lin Yue handed over a note.
"what?"
"Item list."
"What list?"
"A list of items you are going to purchase."
Qiao Weidong looked at the contents on the note, including toothpaste, cups, summer quilts, lunch boxes, etc., and he also wrote down the brands in detail.
"What are you still doing? Go ahead."
"Now?"
"Then you mean to let me sleep with a newspaper on my face tonight and go to school tomorrow morning without washing my teeth or unkempt hair?"
Qiao Weidong said: "Can't you find a hotel to stay in tonight?"
"Do you think it's troublesome to buy things? Or are you worried that the furniture in the house with excessive formaldehyde will poison me and make my conscience uneasy? If it's the latter, there's no need. This formaldehyde concentration will have minimal impact on me."
How come he knows everything? Qiao Weidong felt a headache. In order to prevent Xiao Meng from moving in with him, he deliberately placed several pieces of furniture in the house with excessive formaldehyde content. He thought he was the only one who knew about this. Who knew Lin Yue had such a sharp nose.
"Listen to me, stay in a hotel nearby today, and tomorrow I'll find someone to take away the furniture with excessive formaldehyde content before you move it here."
"That's not necessary."
Seeing Lin Yue's insistence, Qiao Weidong could only choose to compromise and go downstairs with the product list.
The street to the right of Shuxiang Yayuan is Yonghui Supermarket. In less than an hour, Qiao Weidong bought everything on the list and returned to the community. He walked out of the parking lot. Not long after walking, he vaguely heard a saxophone playing from the lakeside. He didn't think much about the sound of music and continued to walk forward until he saw a few students who had just finished their evening self-study standing at the bridge and watching. Only then did he realize that the person playing the saxophone in the pavilion in front was none other than his nephew with a prickly head.
The melodious sound of the horn flows along with the river, and the gentle song "The Moon Represents My Heart" seems to slow down time.
Because of the mute, you had to walk in to hear clearly, so a dozen students returning from class gathered outside the pavilion.
He actually knew how to play the saxophone, and he was very skilled at it. Just standing on the bridge for a while, the fatigue of a whole day's work was taken away.
No wonder these students were attracted to the sound of music.
At this moment, Qiao Weidong noticed something. There was a girl in the crowd carrying a brown schoolbag. From the back, she looked like his daughter Qiao Yingzi, so he hurried forward to confirm the girl's identity.
"Taozi, who is this person? Why don't I remember that there is such a saxophone player in our community? He plays much better than those old men and women in Chaoyang Park."
"How did I know that there are so many families renting a house in Shuxiangyayuan to accompany us to study? They must have just moved here."
"You look pretty handsome from the side."
While talking, Qiao Yingzi took out her mobile phone to take pictures, wanting to share this with her friends as a rare event.
"Yingzi, Yingzi..."
At this moment, a shout from behind interrupted the conversation between the two girls. Qiao Yingzi looked back and found that Song Qian was coming over. She remembered the short video Qiao Weidong sent her in the afternoon, and her face didn't look good.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"Why am I here? You were already home at this point before. Can I not be in a hurry?"
It turned out that Song Qian came downstairs to greet her. Qiao Yingzi's mood just got worse because the music was getting better. Did she and Tao Zi listen to it for three minutes? She hadn't even finished playing a single piece of music, and her mother couldn't wait to come down to find someone.
"Let's go, Mom."
Qiao Yingzi didn't know if she would be scolded. Anyway, when she saw Victoria Victoria, she remembered the Lego Millennium Falcon scattered all over the floor and the test papers on the desk. In her opinion, why did Victoria Victoria come downstairs to greet her? Either she was trying to punish her for putting the Lego Millennium Falcon at Fang Yifan's house, or there were a lot of exercises today, and if she couldn't finish them on time, it would affect her sleep.
"Tao Zi?"
"Oh, I'll listen for a while, you go back first."
"Okay." Qiao Yingzi agreed and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Song Qian stood still.
"mom?"
"It's actually him."
"Who?" Qiao Yingzi was stunned for a moment before she realized that the subject of this sentence was the boy of the same age playing the saxophone in the pavilion, and judging from her mother's expression, it seemed that something unpleasant had happened between the two.
"You can ask Qiao Weidong this question."
Song Qian knew that Lin Yue transferred to Chunfeng Middle School to resume his studies. Qiao Weidong would tell Qiao Yingzi sooner or later, so there was no point in concealing the relationship between the two.
"You're still playing the saxophone outside so late. See if I don't go to the property management company to file a complaint against you for disturbing the residents."
After Hensheng said this, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to call the property management company.
