Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Song Shuxi and her family had lived here for a month.
They gradually adapted to life in Shanghai and decorated their house to their liking.
With a cup of tea at her side, Song Shuxi lay in a rocking chair, watching Yueyue and Yangyang playing.
Of the two children, Yueyue is particularly lively and curious about everything.
No matter what it is, touch it.
Lele gave her all the toys he had as a child.
Yang people are quiet and like to think alone.
The child, who is only two years old, already knows quite a few words. My favorite thing to do every day is to read the book "100,000 Whys".
When he encountered words he didn't know, he asked Song Shuqian to explain them to him.
Song Shuqian really likes to let this pair of siblings with completely different personalities play together.
Yueyue can take Yangyang out for some exercise, which will help him stay healthy. Yangyang can help Yueyue learn more so that she won’t become a fool with an empty head.
An An Le Le has also fully adapted to school life.
Both of them are in fifth grade now.
At the beginning, when Song Shuxi took them to school and proposed to go directly to the fifth grade, the school did not agree. I feel she is trying to force the issue.
It took An An Lele a set of test questions to help Song Shuqian clear her name.
Children in the fifth grade are generally 11 years old. These two have eaten well and grown taller in recent years, so they don’t stand out among them.
It's just a pity for the child Sihu, he didn't pass the exam and can only go to the third grade, and he has no one familiar with him to accompany him.
Fortunately, he has a carefree personality and quickly became friends with his classmates.
No matter which family compound they went to, as long as it was a military family compound, they could not avoid the issue of force. An An Lele and Sihu had fought with others many times in this month.
Oh, it’s not called fighting here, it’s called sparring.
The three of them have competed in so many games and have never lost.
Especially the four tigers, all won.
After lying down for a while, Song Shuxi got up and went to check her vegetable garden.
She sorted this out herself.
The previous owner of this yard planted a lot of flowers in the yard. Song Shuqian and Wei Jianguo cleaned up everything and replaced them with vegetables.
It is the green leafy vegetable that we often eat.
The vegetable patch was small, and the produce was not enough to make dried vegetables, but it was enough for their daily consumption.
Because of this, Song Shuqian was even ridiculed.
The military wives in the city looked down on her because she smelled so earthy and actually farmed her own land.
The military wives in the village thought that she was a delicate young wife and a waste of manpower and resources.
Anyway, neither side thinks highly of her.
Fortunately, she is not a very sensitive person. This was just a minor quarrel, so she was too lazy to pay attention to it.
"Mom, we're back."
From afar, the sound of An An Le Le leaving school could be heard.
Lele arrived before she did, "Mom, guess what we bought."
Two children ran in carrying a small basket.
Before Song Shuxi could say anything, Yueyue had already run over to find her two brothers.
Open the basket and you will see yellow loquats lying inside.
Song Shuqian was surprised, "I bought it from the supply and marketing cooperative? Do you have any more?"
When asked what she is most satisfied with about coming to Shanghai. Of course there are enough fruits here.
Compared with Cuiyuan City, the climate here is warmer and there is more rain.
This month, Song Shuxi tasted loquat, melon, and pineapple. It is said that there are also cherries, blueberries, etc. She is very much looking forward to it.
"Mom, there is a purchase limit on this. Each family can only buy one kilogram."
Song Shuqian lay down again.
"Son, we can't go horseback riding here, and there are no mountains for me to go and pick wild vegetables or mushrooms. It's so boring."
An An advised her, "Tomorrow Lele and I will take a rest, so let's go to the city to play and visit the Children's Palace.
There are two students in our class who study there. "
"Oh? What did you learn?"
"One learns piano, and the other learns calligraphy."
Song Shuxi lay down again with no interest.
"My mother also knows how to play the piano. I started learning when I was five years old. The piano you saw in the Huludao Art Troupe used to belong to my mother."
An An and Le Le were all surprised this time.
They always thought that their mother received a traditional education as a lady from a noble family, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But I didn't expect that my mother could also play something as Western as the piano.
An An thought about it and felt that it made sense since her mother could speak English and German.
Lele asked, "I remember that piano, it was very nice and in good condition, why did you donate it?
Mom, if you don’t like it, you can wait until I grow up and give it to me. I can learn it. "
An An hit him and signaled him to shut up.
Song Shuqian didn't care, "Have you forgotten that your grandparents are capitalists? Even though they are red capitalists, the situation is so critical.
Mom and Dad only dared to stay at the border. It’s not like they want to live long enough to keep something as obviously capitalist as a piano. "
Song Shuxi basically wouldn't hide anything from An An Lele.
Whenever they asked, she would answer everything she knew, including her opinions and things that had happened to her.
Of course, this also includes some people or things that have had conflicts with her.
Song Shuqian has always believed that parents and children should be honest with each other.
Children have their own keen perception and are not completely ignorant of the things around them.
When they enter society and interact with others, they already have their own established attitudes and ways in their hearts, and these attitudes come from the influence of the family atmosphere.
"Mom, can I learn piano?" Lele asked suddenly.
An An learned the guqin and horse-head fiddle from Song Shuxi. At first Lele also tried to learn it, but he didn’t like it and gave up after a few days.

Faced with this request, Song Shuxi, who never refused children, felt a little embarrassed.
“Le Le, you still remember the situation in Cuiyuan City, right? Although it’s better here in Shanghai, who knows what it’s like in the dark?
It is still risky to learn these Western things at this time.
Moreover, my mother really can’t afford to buy a piano and is reluctant to do so.
I also secretly inquired about it. An ordinary Steinway piano costs between 3,000 and 5,000 US dollars, which is about RMB yuan to RMB. The price of a Steinway grand piano may be between US$8,000 and US dollars, which is equivalent to about RMB yuan to yuan.
This does not include the manpower and resources required to find people and connections to transport it back. "
Lele's mouth opened into an O shape, "Is this thing inlaid with gold? Why is it so expensive?"
"There may be cheaper ones, but when I asked, I asked directly for the best."
Lele waved his hands frantically, "I'm just a little curious and don't want to bring trouble to my family. I won't learn it anymore. I won't learn it anymore.
Mom, please delete those terrible ideas about buying a piano from your mind.
My dad is the only one in our family who earns money to support four children. It's okay for them to eat better and dress decently, but buying something like this is a big problem. "
Lele was so nervous that he was incoherent, afraid that Song Shuqian would think about buying a piano.
He brought this up because he thought that his mother had been learning it for so many years since she was five years old, so she could take the opportunity to teach him and pick it up again.
His reaction made Song Shuqian and An An laugh.
They all think Lele is so cute.
