Chapter 155 Extra: Pei Yunzhi [1]
Pei Yunzhi was a precocious and intelligent child since childhood.
When he was in kindergarten, other children were picked up by their parents, grandparents, or grandparents, but he was picked up by the driver.
His family wanted to pick him up (except his mom), but he refused because he thought it was childish.
Ever since Pei Yunzhi had a clear memory of this world, his mother had never been close to him. She seemed extremely reluctant to even look at him, let alone praise him, hug him, or kiss him.
It doesn't matter, he is not a spoiled brat.
Pei Yunzhi went upstairs carrying the strawberry cake and heard the older maids in the main house whispering bad things about his mother. It was very unpleasant and he didn't want to repeat it again.
He remembered the faces of the older maids who were fired that day.
The kindergarten teacher said that we should “respect the old and love the young”, but this phrase does not fit the mother’s age, so she deserves to be scolded?
Pei Yunzhi tore off the page in his diary that had "Respect the elderly and love the young" written on it and threw it into the trash can.
The children in kindergarten asked Pei Yunzhi whether he was like Sun Wukong, who jumped out of a stone?
He had read Journey to the West, in which he learned that Sun Wukong was a clever monkey born without a father or a mother.
He was very angry and beat the child who asked him a question until he cried.
The kindergarten teacher called and asked the parents to come over. Those who came included grandparents, dads, uncles, aunts, but not moms.
That was the only time he hit someone.
Pei Yunzhi was lying on the bed in the room listening to piano music.
There was a knock on the door, and he paused the piano music: "Come in."
The people who came in were my mother and an aunt.
This was the first time Mom entered his bedroom.
Pei Yunzhi got off the bed, stood upright, and called out politely, "Mom, Auntie."
The aunt touched his head with a smile and called him "Xiao Yanzhi".
Mom said calmly, "You will learn piano from Aunt Ruoxi in the future."
Pei Yunzhi's piano room is located next to his mother's study, separated by only a wall.
When he first started playing, Pei Yunzhi felt that his playing was terrible, so he closed the doors and windows, stepped on the muffler pedal in the middle of the piano to weaken the sound, and practiced over and over again.
One day, Aunt Ruoxi said, "Xiao Yunzhi, your mother praised you for playing the piano well. She whispered to me."
Pei Yunzhi was stunned, not knowing which key to put his fingers on.
After that day, he left the doors and windows of the piano room wide open and stopped pressing the muffler pedal.
The whole main house was filled with the sound of him playing the piano, and my mother must have heard it clearly.
Three-year-old Pei Yuchen also heard it, and ran up from downstairs carrying a small stool and sat at the door of the piano room.
After a day of practice, Pei Yunzhi was just about to put the piano cover on.
Pei Yuchen came over and touched his arm: "Brother, I also want to learn piano."
So Pei Yunzhi taught him.
A week later, my brother learned to play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and would perform it for everyone during every festival.
Pei Yunzhi took the first-place report card and went to the bedroom to ask his mother for her signature.
The bedroom door was open. He knocked on it gently. No one answered. He walked in lightly and saw a report showing that she was six weeks pregnant on the dressing table.
Hearing footsteps coming from the bathroom, Pei Yunzhi ran out of the bedroom and leaned against the wall in the corridor, his heart pounding. He was going to have a younger sister.
During dinner, my mother remained silent and did not announce the good news to her family.
Pei Yunzhi's heart sank gradually.
The next day.
Pei Yunzhi sat on the sofa in the hall. His mother came down from the stairs with red eyes. She did not ask him why he did not go to school on Monday. She walked towards the door like a hollow puppet, dragging her body.
He walked up to his mother and wanted to hold her hand, but then he remembered that she didn't like to get close to others, so he put his hands behind his back and said, "Mom, I want a sister. Grandma said her name is 'Yu Ning'. I like sisters."
His mother stood there for a long time, and he stood with her for a long time too.
She said nothing, turned around and went upstairs to her bedroom.
In the evening, my mother told her family the good news.
Pei Yunzhi finished his homework and started watching the Barbie special animation.
Pei Yuchen came over and sat next to him: "Brother, I want to watch Ultraman."
Pei Yunzhi turned on the Ultraman cartoon for him, gave him the TV, and continued watching Barbie on the tablet.
On Saturday, Pei Yunzhi found the card where she kept her New Year's gift money and, accompanied by her grandparents, bought a lot of baby items: a small pillow, a small quilt, a milk bottle, a crib, a walker, a princess dress, crystal shoes, fairy wands...
Grandma couldn't help laughing and asked, "Yanzhi, what if the baby in mom's belly is a brother?"
Pei Yunzhi: "It's my sister."
My younger brother is very noisy, and there is already Pei Yuchen at home.
There are many more baby items in the house, in light pink, goose yellow, turquoise, and sky blue. With the appearance of my little sister, the house seems to have become warmer.
Pei Yunzhi gradually discovered that his younger brother seemed to have grown up.
He no longer calls him brother, no longer sits next to him when watching TV or eating, and no longer looks for him when he encounters difficulties with his homework...
My temper has also grown.
When eating strawberries, start guarding the food. Each person gets half, and the extra odd number must be his.
His younger brother often raised his head and stood on tiptoe, looking at him through his nose.
Pei Yunzhi doesn't understand him, but as a brother, he will tolerate everything about him.
He bought a box of calcium tablets for his brother, put them in his bedroom, and told him: "Yuchen, these are calcium tablets for growing taller, two tablets a day."
His brother blushed and pushed him out of the bedroom, along with the calcium tablets he had bought.
Having heard that music is the best prenatal education, Pei Yunzhi practiced the piano more seriously.
He likes to play the piano for his mother and sister in the evening.
His favorite piano piece is "Bluestone Lane", and it is also the piece he plays most often.
On Sunday, Aunt Ruoxi didn't come to her piano lesson. Pei Yunzhi waited for a long time and finally decided to go to his mother's bedroom to ask her.
After knocking on the door, he asked, "Mom, why didn't Aunt Ruoxi come today?"
After a long time, my mother's hoarse voice came from inside: "Did your piano teacher change?"
Pei Yunzhi: "Aunt Ruoxi won't come here anymore?"
Mom didn't answer.
