Chapter Fifty Seven
Chu Xiaoyi faced the letter paper in front of him, he couldn’t help but rubbed his temples to try to calm down, completely unaware of what he was up to.
He didn’t read English so seriously when he was in high school. The articles in the English test paper were printed in print, but Chu Xiaoxiao’s Christmas letter was in children’s form.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao wrote the Christmas letter neatly, she still filled the corners with fancy children’s drawings. Her abstract style immediately added a lot of difficulty to the translation of the article.
Under the devastation of the poisonous children’s painting, Chu Xiaoyi bit his head and watched the whole process, but his fists were hardened after reading it.
The most troublesome thing was that Chu Xiaoyi had to put the Christmas letter back into her sock, but Chu Xiaoxiao took root in the living room. She sat on the sofa and watched foreign language videos, and had no intention of leaving.
Chu Xiaoyi wandered around two times with the Christmas letter in his pockets. He couldn’t find a chance to put it back for a long time, feeling quite helpless for a while.
He retreated strategically, and happened to ran into Chu Jiadong on the way back to the house. He simply asked for advice: “Dad, have you read Xiao Xiao’s Christmas letter?
What does she want this year? ”
When Chu Xiaoxiao returned home with Christmas stockings, she also gave a serious introduction to the family, saying that after she finished writing a letter to Santa, she would hang the stockings in the living room.
She is a privacy-conscious kid, saying this is to let other people not peek, and don’t disturb her Christmas stockings.
If it hadn’t been for Chu Xiaoxiao to inform in advance, Chu Xiaoyi wouldn’t know that there was a Christmas letter in it, and would not act against the wind.
He felt that his younger sister still didn’t understand human psychology. The more people didn’t do anything, the more people wanted to do, she was so rebellious.
Chu Jiadong pondered for a few seconds, and said, “I didn’t read her Christmas letter.”
Chu Xiaoyi said in surprise: “Aren’t you curious?”
Chu Jiadong smiled and scratched his head: “I saw it once last year, and she said she didn’t want anything. I guess it will be this year.”
Chu Xiaoyi: “…” It turns out that my information is not equal, and my reaction is half a beat slower than others?
Chu Xiaoxiao started celebrating Christmas after going to kindergarten. Chu Jiadong couldn’t hold back reading the letter last year, and Chu Xiaoyi couldn’t hold back reading the letter this year.
However, Chu Xiaoxiao’s composition level was obviously improved a lot. She felt that it would be easy to make Santa Claus sad to refuse directly like last year. This year, she wrote a piece of paper to coax him and affirm the other party’s work. .
Chu Jiadong also didn’t know what the youngest daughter wanted, and could not provide useful advice to Chu Xiaoyi.
Chu Xiaoxiao is still young now, and she is half-knowledgeable and ignorant of many things. Even the surroundings of “Harry Potter” were taken home by the cheap brother, and she knew that there was such a thing in the world.
Chu Xiaoyi had already consumed a lot of materials in math class, and now he is just too awkward to give gifts again, and he has a headache thinking about it.
In the living room, Chu Xiaoxiao found that the cheap brother was always dangling in front of her eyes, she couldn’t help muttering, “Why are you staring at me?”
Chu Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully, and was sure that he didn’t need to take math class or English class today. Naturally, he was deeply puzzled by Chu Xiaoyi’s behavior.
She shrank in the corner of the sofa, looking at her brother warily, always feeling that he had moths.
Chu Xiaoyi actually wanted to return the Christmas letter, but she just refused to leave. He simply greeted him casually, “How are you doing recently?”
Chu Xiaoxiao was even more suspicious when she heard this. She held the iPad tightly and replied: “Very good, what do you ask this for?”
Chu Xiaoyi: “I just want to know if you are happy, do you have anything you want?”
Chu Xiaoxiao felt that there must be a demon if something went wrong, she didn’t dare to talk nonsense, and said seriously: “As long as you can be a little bit obedient, I will feel very happy.”
Chu Xiaoxiao didn’t want anything, as long as the cheap brother didn’t make troubles, she felt that life was good now.
“…” When Chu Xiaoyi heard familiar remarks, he once dreamed of his childhood Father’s Day. Chu Jiadong seemed to have said similar things. Could it be that if there is a father, there must be a daughter?
Chu Xiaoyi saw her pretending to be a little adult, he was so angry that he couldn’t help rubbing her, and said angrily: “You are not parents, what do you mean?
I really turned you back, I’m the brother, I haven’t said that you are disobedient! ”
Chu Xiaoxiao stood up immediately. She stepped on the sofa with short short legs, evasively avoiding his attack, and confidently akimbo: “I am the spokesperson of Mom and Dad!”
Chu Xiaoyi had a fight with his sister, but in the end he didn’t stuff the letter back, so he could only make plans at night.
After dinner, Xiao Bi looked at the Christmas stockings that fell on the ground and reminded him: “Xiao Xiao, your Christmas stockings have fallen off.”
Xiao Bi is the only person in the family who is not interested in Christmas stockings. Since the youngest daughter told them not to let them see, she did not open it, unlike the other two who had a heart-scratching curiosity.
There was originally no place to hang Christmas stockings by the window. Chu Xiaoxiao put them there forcibly, so the stockings could easily be knocked off.
After hearing the words, she obediently jumped off the sofa, stepped on her slippers to pick up her Christmas stockings, making Chu Xiaoyi who was sitting on the side alert instantly!
Chu Xiaoyi squatted by his sister for a long time. He didn’t wait for her to leave the living room. At this moment, he panicked and said, “Wait!”
As soon as Chu Xiaoyi’s voice fell, Chu Xiaoxiao had picked up the Christmas stockings, and she obviously also noticed the abnormality and stroked her head in a daze.
She opened the sock blankly, noticed that the letters inside were missing, and blinked hesitantly: “It’s weird…”
Xiao Bi: “What’s wrong?”
Chu Xiaoxiao held the sock. She couldn’t wait to see a hole in it, and said in surprise: “My letter is gone?”
Chu Xiaoyi didn’t dare to show up immediately. He almost wanted to become a background board on the spot. He only felt that the letter paper in his pocket was like a death notice, which made people uneasy.
He noticed his crazy heartbeat and forced his head to swipe his phone calmly to cover up the abnormality on his face.
Chu Xiaoyi: Only when you are infinitely close to death can you understand the true meaning of life!
Chu Xiaoxiao only cared about the Christmas stockings. She didn’t hear her brother’s words, nor did she notice his abnormality, she was just thinking about her letter.
She found that the Christmas letter was strangely missing. Instead of panicking or crying, she put her socks aside and no longer meant to hang up.
Xiao Bizhen did not expect the letter in the Christmas stocking to disappear. She speculated that her husband or eldest son took it away, but was discovered by her younger daughter. She smiled embarrassedly, “Xiao Xiao, don’t you hang it back?”
Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She didn’t have a low expression on her face. Instead, she became elated: “Santa Claus has read my letter, so I don’t need to hang up my socks!”
Christmas stockings are used to receive gifts. Chu Xiaoxiao wrote in the letter that no gifts are needed. Since Santa knows what she thinks, she doesn’t need to hang Christmas stockings anymore.
Chu Xiaoxiao found a reasonable reason for the disappearance of the letter. She happily circled the place, and suddenly felt a trace of doubt, stopped her little bear to dance, and said strangely: “Why didn’t my letter disappear from last year?
Didn’t it succeed in sending it out? ”
Chu Xiaoyi nodded desperately, then echoed: “Yes, yes, it’s easy to lose letters now…”
Father Chu Jiadong stuffed it back after reading it last year, but Chu Xiaoyi overturned in embarrassment, probably because he was too unlucky.
Chu Xiaoxiao showed a look of understanding. She didn’t mind losing the letter last year. After all, the wording in the letter last year was not polite enough, and the letter this time was much more formal.
Thinking about it now, she said last year that she didn’t want Christmas gifts, but she still got Christmas gifts. It is estimated that Santa Claus did not receive the letter.
Chu Xiaoxiao figured out this festival, she hummed a nursery rhyme happily and ran back to the house, feeling lucky that the communication was successful this year.
Xiao Bi couldn’t understand the situation. After her little daughter left, she said helplessly: “Then you can hide her letter.”
Chu Xiaoyi was extremely embarrassed, he was really clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and now there is no way to return the letter.
He hid in his house worrying about being discovered, and he was afraid of losing it when he took it out to work. He really didn’t know where to figure it out.
Within a few days, Chu Xiaoxiao shared the current situation with Liang Shuangqi and Yang Yin who came to do their homework. The three gathered in the tea room to do their homework and discuss the Christmas letter.
Yang Yin was already at the age of not believing in Santa Claus, she showed an expression of hesitation, and it was not easy to break the fantasy of the children.
Liang Shuangqi should have done his best to review the quiz, but when he heard this, he immediately lost his mind and helped analyze: “Xiao Xiao must be easy to lose when sending letters. They say that sending postcards and other things is very slow. Santa Claus gives you gifts by express delivery, so It’s fast and safe.”
Liang Shuangqi is the most experienced online shopping among the three. He expressed his opinions from the perspective of logistics, thinking that it is normal that Chu Xiaoxiao’s letter was not sent last year.
Chu Xiaoxiao asked humbly: “Then how can I send it quickly and safely?”
She is afraid that next year’s letter will not be sent, so she naturally has to plan ahead and think of a way in advance.
Liang Shuangqi touched his chin: “I don’t know, otherwise you will ask Santa Claus next year how he receives letters and gives gifts every year.
If he wants to send so many gifts to children, he should choose a very powerful courier company and let him introduce it to you. ”
Chu Xiaoxiao: “Didn’t he deliver it from door to door by himself?”
Liang Shuangqi: “Wouldn’t it be impossible to deliver it? Just like our community, there is a Santa Claus in each area?”
Yang Yin heard the two equating Santa Claus and the courier, and she weakly changed the subject: “…Let’s continue to study.”
Yang Yinsheng was afraid that Chu Xiaoxiao would ask the courier company in a Christmas letter next year. She felt that the other party’s family could not answer it. Who knows how Santa’s logistics is?
The weather in the imperial capital has become cold, but the tea room is quite warm, a small study room for three people.
When they finished drinking the water in the tea room, Yang Yin took the initiative to pick up the pot and wanted to go into the house to receive water, but Liang Shuangqi took the pot over and said, “I’ll go, it’s cold outside.”
There is a short distance between the tea room and the house. People will be exposed to the cold air outside before entering the house. Chu Xiaoxiao worried, “Brother Qiqi, do you know where to get the water?”
Chu Xiaoxiao thinks that Sister Yang Yin is the little master of life, but she really doesn’t understand the life ability of brother Qiqi.
She still couldn’t hold the pot full of water, and was easy to fall down tremblingly, so she could only let Yang Yin do it for her.
Liang Shuangqi has put on his little jacket. He picked up the water bottle and said plausibly: “I can ask your family members, and it’s only a few steps away.”
Yang Yin originally wanted to propose to go by herself, but when she heard the other party, she dispelled her worries and felt that Liang Shuangqi should have no problem receiving the pot of water.
Liang Shuangqi brought the kettle into the house. He politely troubled Xiao Bi to fill himself with water. He was about to return to the tea room when he suddenly heard the voice from Chu Xiaoyi’s computer.
In the living room, Chu Xiaoyi was sitting on the sofa and making music. He was immersed in editing the soundtrack and did not notice Liang Shuangqi passing by.
Chu Xiaoyi didn’t know what Christmas gift to prepare. He finally decided to write a song for his younger sister and chose a section she had sang on the show as the main melody.
After Chu Xiaoyi attended the kindergarten opening ceremony, Chu Xiaoxiao once sang an English song related to Hogwarts in the car. Later, he struggled to pick up the first season of “Generations in Our Family” and found the lyrics Derived from the original “Harry Potter”, the melody is entirely her rhetoric.
Chu Xiaoyi: No wonder I found it unpleasant at the time. It turned out that she didn’t sing out of tune, but she didn’t have the tune.
A song is not just a melody, just like a music layman will never understand the difference between composition and arrangement.
Chu Xiaoyi is good at composing and arranging music. He may not be a good singer, but it cannot be said that he is not a good musician.
However, nowadays the public can’t even understand the singer’s affairs, not to mention the deeper music production, and naturally they can only tease Chu Xiaoyi’s voice.
Everyone only wants to pay attention to the things that they find fun, and selectively ignore the things that they don’t understand.
Except for fans and people in the industry, few people are aware of Chu Xiaoyi’s talent.
Even if there are musicians who praise and praise, outsiders can only be regarded as Chu Xiaoyi marketing. This is the current situation in the circle.
Liang Shuangqi was holding the kettle steadily, but when he heard this melody inadvertently, his scalp became numb, like being struck by lightning.
He took a few steps calmly, and finally couldn’t help turning his head back, kindly said: “Brother, this melody is really bad.”
Liang Shuangqi didn’t know if Xiao Xiao’s brother deliberately retaliated against him. The other party knew that he was extremely sensitive to voices, so he let them out to hear him.
He didn’t want to talk about the guitar string last time, but the other party just wanted to play the piano against him and Xiao Xiao.
How can Chu Xiaoyi know the melody problem. What he just played was the pure music that was finished, and he simply released the vocal version of Chu Xiaoxiao on the show. He gloated and said, “This is what Chu Xiaoxiao sang at the beginning. I will need it later. Tell her, you said she doesn’t sing well.”
When Liang Shuangqi heard the vocal version of Chu Xiaoxiao, he had no idea that he would step on the trap, and stood rigidly on the spot for a while: “…”
Liang Shuangqi has an absolute sense of sound. He can definitely distinguish Chu Xiaoxiao’s voice at ordinary times. Helplessly, Chu Xiaoyi re-edited it with a computer, but he overturned and didn’t recognize it.
After all, it was pure music, and there was obviously no human voice. How could he guess that it was the melody that Xiao Xiao had hummed!
Liang Shuangqi was silent for a few seconds in embarrassment. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and he immediately took advantage of him and said with a serious face: “Brother, I think your arrangement is ruining the melody. The original version of Xiao Xiao sounds very good. It is completely different from just now. ”
Chu Xiaoyi didn’t expect the little boy to change his face in a second. He bowed to Liang Shuangqi’s shamelessness and couldn’t help but vomit: “Are you still a qualified cellist?
You completely ignore your own musical cultivation, you are really slanderous and nonsense! ”
Chu Xiaoyi: In order to forcibly maintain the friendship with my sister, you are talking nonsense about irresponsible things!
Of course Liang Shuangqi also knew that he had made too fake. To blame it was Brother Xiao Xiao’s serial set. He simply broke the tank and said confidently: “Actually, I am a sawmill.”
Chu Xiaoyi: “?”
Is this a sudden transfer announcement?
Liang Shuangqi: What qualified cellist?
It doesn’t exist, I am a carpenter from today!
