When Li Xuan's parents and relatives walked out of the house and arrived at the village entrance, they happened to see a bus parked on the side of the road. When the bus left, Li Xuan's figure was revealed.
Li Xuan got out of the car and prepared to go home. After the bus left, Li Xuan saw his parents and uncle.
Li Xuan looked at his parents excitedly, then smiled and waved his hand.
When Father Li and Mother Li saw Li Xuan and the military uniform on Li Xuan, they immediately knew that he was their son, so they hurriedly walked forward. When Li Xuan saw his mother, he immediately hugged her tightly. The corners of his mother's eyes were also moist.
Li Xuan began to greet everyone one by one,"Aunt, aunt, uncle, aunt, and uncle, mother, hello."”
Uncle smiled and walked forward. He patted Li Xuan's shoulder happily and said,"Alright, Little Xuan. I haven't seen you for two years. You've grown up. Not only have you matured, but you've also grown so tall.”Li Xuan went to the army in 2009. At that time, he was 18 years old and was only 1.78 meters tall. Now, he was already a 20-year-old young man. His height had also increased by seven centimeters. In the countryside, people said that it was a virtual age. Therefore, it was okay for Li Xuan's aunt to say that Li Xuan was 21 years old.
Following that, everyone said that Li Xuan had grown taller. At the same time, they also praised Li Xuan for becoming more and more handsome. Li Xuan also smiled and did not say anything.
Father Li stood at the side and did not say anything. Instead, he smiled at his son, then silently picked up his son's luggage and walked in the direction of home with everyone.
When Li Xuan returned home, he saw a man and a woman with white hair. The man was sitting in a wheelchair. Li Xuan walked forward and said,"Grandpa, Grandma."”
"Sigh, it's good that you're back!" Li Xuan's grandmother said happily. Grandpa did not say anything, but from the smile in his eyes, it was obvious that he was very happy.
Mother Li said to Li Xuan,"Let's go. Let's hurry into the house." The dumplings that had just been wrapped would be placed in the pot in a while.”Hebei, where Li Xuan was located, was located in the North China Plain. Therefore, there were some customs that were very common in China, such as eating dumplings at a reunion, braised noodles that were very similar to Shaanxi's minced meat noodles, and even a fire kang that was similar to the northeast.
Li Xuan's home was a newly built two-story building. It was built by Li Xuan when he was sixteen years old. Originally, the house had a plot of land that was twenty-three meters long, but only half of the house was built. The remaining half was now built into a single-story house with an independent courtyard. That was where his grandparents lived.
Mother Li and Li Xuan's aunts began to cook dumplings, while Li Xuan sat and talked with his father and uncle. At the same time, there were a few side dishes on the table. Father Li and uncle kept asking questions about Li Xuan's military career, and Li Xuan answered them one by one. Li Xuan's cousins still had to go to school, and when Li Xuan returned, it was already past one in the afternoon. Therefore, they did not see Li Xuan. Mother Li cooked dumplings for them in advance, and then they went to school.
After nearly an hour, the dumplings were finally ready. Li Xuan ate the familiar taste at home, and his heart was very uneasy. However, Li Xuan did not show it too much because he was afraid that his parents would follow him.
This meal lasted until three in the afternoon. Then, Li Xuan's relatives left one after another. After sending everyone away, his mother began to tidy up Li Xuan's bed, but Li Xuan refused. Li Xuan's reason was that he was already used to living in the army's place, so he still had to tidy it up himself.
After everything was done, Li Xuan glanced at his father, who was sleeping. Because his father was happy, he drank a little wine at noon, while his mother was cleaning up the last residue in the kitchen.
Li Xuan came to the living room and looked at the wall of the living room. There was a huge photo of Li Xuan himself. Li Xuan looked at his photo with a smile because this photo was taken in 2007. Li Xuan's hairstyle in the photo was very handsome at that time, but at this time, it was a little scary. He had a head of white hair. However, this was Li Xuan's memory, so Li Xuan was not prepared to change it.
Li Xuan walked to the bottom of the photo. There was a white piano here. Li Xuan gently touched every part of the piano and sat down. Then, he took a deep breath and placed his hand on the black and white keys of the piano. Slowly, the piano emitted a pleasant sound.
Li Xuan closed his eyes and slowly played. The song he played was called the Prelude to the Locust Tree Spirit. It was composed by Li Xuan himself when he was eight years old. It was also Li Xuan's first piano piece, Huai Ling. It was the name of Li Xuan's first piano, and Huai Ling was also a special piano. Strictly speaking, the piano that Li Xuan was playing now was the third piano in Li Xuan's life.
The process of Li Xuan learning the piano could be said to be full of twists and turns. This was because the family conditions at that time really did not allow Li Xuan to do so. However, Li Xuan still succeeded. Moreover, he did not add any burden to his family. No, he made his grandfather contribute five yuan. This was how the Huai Spirit came about.
1999. At that time, Li Xuan, who was only seven years old, entered elementary school and became a first-grade student. What everyone did not know was that when Li Xuan was three years old, for some reason, many memories suddenly appeared in his mind. These memories made Li Xuan feel incredible, but Li Xuan did not seem to have awakened all of them. It was as if there was only a part of them. It was as if Li Xuan suddenly had a lot of knowledge that he had never come into contact with before, and these memories seemed to belong to another person. That person's world was completely different from Earth, as if that person lived in ancient times. However, the memories that Li Xuan obtained did not help him at first. There was no piano in these memories, but there was some knowledge of music, which gave Li Xuan a foundation.
The year when Li Xuan went to primary school was the time when the country strongly supported education. The principals of all the schools in the country had to be from specialized classes and refused to make up for the numbers in order to improve the learning quality of primary schools all over the country.
It was also the second semester of Li Xuan's first grade. That year, Zhongshan Village Primary School had a new principal. This principal was from the neighboring village. He was in his fifties and had the temperament of an education expert.
One day after class, Li Xuan found that most of the teachers in the primary school were working, and the place where they were working was the school's warehouse. The school's warehouse had not been opened for a long time, and all the students did not know what was inside.
Then, the teachers took out a broken piano from the warehouse. This piano was an old piano from the Republic of China. It was a foot-blowing piano. There were two footplates under the piano, which were two air blasts. When playing the piano, one had to constantly step on the footplates because only then would the piano make a sound.
Later on, Li Xuan found out that the new principal had just taken office and did not know what the situation in the school was like. Even if it was trash in the warehouse, it was still the school's wealth. Therefore, the principal wanted to open it and pick it to see if there was anything that could be reused.
This piano had been in the warehouse for many years. When everyone saw it, they thought it was junk. However, this new principal was also very talented. He happened to know how to play the piano, so he wanted to repair it. After all, the piano was a relatively expensive thing.
After three days, the piano was finally repaired. The principal also smiled and sat down. Then, he began to play. Li Xuan was shocked at that time. He did not expect the sound produced by the piano to be so beautiful. Li Xuan still clearly remembered that the principal had played a song at that time. It was called Me and My Motherland.
From then on, Li Xuan became obsessed with the piano because he was born with music. Moreover, Li Xuan's class was next to the school's office. Therefore, Li Xuan could hear the principal play the piano every day. Just like that, Li Xuan would carefully remember every song the principal played every day.
However, Li Xuan still attracted the teacher's attention. This was because Li Xuan was always listening to the sound of the piano, whether it was after class or in class. Although Li Xuan's results did not drop, and with the memories in his mind, Li Xuan could easily get first place in the class, Li Xuan did not do so. Instead, he kept hovering in the top five of the class. This way, he did not have to stand out.
However, although Li Xuan's results did not fall behind, Li Xuan often lost his mind in class. The teacher had also scolded Li Xuan several times, but Li Xuan did not change at all. The teacher felt that Li Xuan could not do this. Although his results did not fall behind, the teacher felt that if Li Xuan was more serious, it was very likely that his results would go up a level.
Therefore, during the last class on Friday, because it was self-study, the teacher called Li Xuan to the office, hoping that the principal would come out and educate Li Xuan.
The principal and the teacher were sitting on the sofa, and Li Xuan was standing in front of them. The teacher said to Li Xuan,"Xiao Xuan, what's wrong with you recently? Why are you always absent-minded? Do you know that if you continue like this, it will affect your studies?”
Li Xuan said to his teacher,"Teacher, I'm sorry. I was wrong."”
The principal asked Li Xuan,"Your name is Li Xuan, right? Can you tell me why you're like this? You haven't focused on your studies for nearly half a month. Is there something on your mind?"”
Li Xuan glanced at the principal, then took two deep breaths and said to the principal,"Principal, can you teach me piano? I want to learn piano.”After Li Xuan finished speaking, he pointed at the wind piano beside him with his small finger.
Although Li Xuan knew music, he did not know how to play the piano. He only knew how to play the flute, the flute, and even the guzheng. However, these were all folk instruments, but Li Xuan did not know any western instruments.
This time, it was the principal and the teacher's turn to be surprised. The teacher somewhat understood Li Xuan's thoughts. After all, Li Xuan was a student that she valued more. Moreover, Li Xuan's teacher had a good relationship with Li Xuan's parents and could be considered neighbors.
The teacher asked Li Xuan,"Is this the reason why you've been thinking about it recently?"”
Li Xuan nodded at the teacher and then said to the principal,"Principal, I beg you, please teach me. I'm very talented. Although I've never played the piano before, I'm always listening to the principal every time he plays. I can play the music that the principal once played in its entirety.”
This time, the principal was surprised, and Li Xuan's teacher was even more surprised. It turned out that Li Xuan was not thinking about anything, but was learning the piano by relying on the distance between his classroom and his office, which was only a wall away.
The principal said to Li Xuan seriously,"Can you really play it?"
Li Xuan saw that the principal was tempted, so he nodded hard. The principal immediately stood up after seeing Li Xuan's expression. Then, he pulled Li Xuan to the piano and asked him to sit down. He said,"You can try and play whatever you want.”
Li Xuan said to the principal,"Principal, please introduce the piano scales to me."”The principal smiled when he heard this, but he still carefully introduced him to Li Xuan. Although Li Xuan had not systematically learned music, there were already music classes in primary school. Although music classes in primary school did not necessarily follow the textbooks and might only learn a song, and the song might not even exist in the music textbooks, there were music textbooks after all. Therefore, Li Xuan also self-taught the scales of music and the composition of songs in the textbooks. With the memories in Li Xuan's mind, learning these things was very fast. After all, music was interlinked.
After the principal explained the piano scales to Li Xuan, he asked,"How is it? Do you remember it?"
Li Xuan nodded seriously and said,"I remember."”Then, under the principal's surprised expression, Li Xuan's hand slowly covered the keyboard. Li Xuan took a deep breath and began to play.
