Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"I bought a lot of food. I'm going to make a delicious meal for everyone tonight."

Soon, Sachiko bought the food and returned to Kang's house. As soon as she entered the door, she spoke loudly to everyone in the living room. Xiu Gu heard the voice inside and hurried out to take the bags from her hands. The second sister-in-law asked while cutting the second brother's nails: "Is today the third uncle's birthday? How come I haven't heard of it?"

"You really are such a fool! Don't I know what's going on, Ah San? Sachiko is just trying to make everyone happy." The mother was very insightful and understood Sachiko's thoughts immediately.

"That means the sun rises from the west." The second sister-in-law muttered. Except for the time when Sachiko just bought groceries when she got married to A Yao, she hasn't bought groceries or entered the kitchen for several years since she went to the clothing store.

Sachiko took the initiative to flatter him: "Second sister-in-law, I bought your favorite hairy crabs."

The second sister-in-law was really happy, and said with a smile on her face: "The sun rising in the wrong place is still very bright!" The second sister-in-law was happy, but the second brother was not happy. He sat up and said: "Pretty girl, this is not fair. After all, I am your husband's eldest brother. Although the ten fingers are of different lengths, the palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh."

"Oh, second brother, I treat everyone equally today. I've bought all the things you like to eat." Sachiko still had that flattering face. She pulled Xiu Gu and said, "Come on, let's go in and cook. You just wait for dinner." She said the last sentence to everyone.

"Look at how thoughtful Sachiko is." The mother said. She knew without thinking that Sachiko's change today was stimulated by what the second sister-in-law said to her at noon. Now she is deliberately showing off so that everyone will change their views of her. After the mother understood her thoughts, she was of course willing to help her say more good things in front of everyone.

Kang Qirui could naturally see what Sachiko meant, but he was different from the mother. The mother helped Sachiko secretly, but he said directly: "Third sister-in-law has worked very hard in the past few years. She used to run a clothing store and now runs a confinement center. She helps herself make money while also helping everyone else. Although she rarely takes care of the household chores, she actually does a lot for the family."

"So, second sister-in-law, don't always think that third sister-in-law is so bad just because she doesn't do housework. Think about how much of the money you shared during the Chinese New Year was earned by third sister-in-law. In the end, both those who work outside and those who work inside are for the sake of the family. There is no such thing as one contributing more than the other."

The second sister-in-law smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't say anything about her. I just said it casually. You all know that I am like this. I don't forgive others with my words, but when have I ever really hated anyone?" In order to prove that she was just talking nonsense, she stood up and took the initiative to say, "I'll go in and help her cook. This can at least prove that I don't hate her, right?"

After she finished speaking, she went in to help. Xianglan then sat in the second sister-in-law's seat and asked Kang Qirui, "Ah Rui, I want to ask which brand is better for buying a piano?"

Kang Qirui was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head and asked in confirmation: "Piano? Who wants to buy a piano?"

"I'm going to buy it for my son Tianyou." Xianglan said so. In fact, she read in a book in the afternoon that learning the piano can improve one's personal temperament and become a true lady, so she came up with the idea of ​​buying a piano.

"Wow, sister-in-law is so rich!" A-Zu next to him exclaimed.

"I don't have any money." Xianglan denied it three times immediately, and then asked, "By the way, how much does it cost to buy a piano?"

"I know about this. It will cost about 20,000 yuan," A-Zu replied.

Xianglan was shocked when she heard the price, "It costs more than 4 yuan to buy a piano?" Kang Qirui smiled and said, "Not all of them are that expensive, just buy an ordinary one for more than 6 yuan. I heard from others that the most suitable age for children to learn piano is - years old, and Tianyou is still young."

He thought about it and suggested: "If you really want to learn, you can learn the electronic organ first. If Tianyou really likes to play the piano and has talent in this area, then we can switch to the piano."

"Yeah, I can learn to play the electronic organ." Xianglan muttered, and then went back to her room. Kang Qirui shook his head and ignored her. He looked at the scene in the kitchen. It would take a long time before dinner.

He went back to his room, took out a box of tea leaves that someone had given him, and said to his father, "Dad, here's some good tea for you to drink. This is a gift from someone else, and they say it's top-grade Tieguanyin. This is your favorite. Let's go to the pavilion and have some tea."

When the old man heard that it was top-grade Tieguanyin, he immediately stood up and pushed Kang Qirui to the pavilion in the courtyard garden. A Zu and Er Lao also followed to enjoy the beautiful tea. A few people were drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion when they saw a child in ancient costumes walking to the courtyard to play with water.

"Hey, that kid is dressed like a landlord's son. Whose child is he? Fortunately, he's not my grandson. If he was dressed like that, he would be pissed to death." The old man pointed at the kid and said. Grandpa guessed casually, "It must be the housewife at the corner who was too busy to take care of herself, so she let the kid run around. The aunts are the same. They don't stop strangers from coming in."

The more Kang Qirui looked at the child, the more familiar he felt. He said puzzledly: "This child always gives me a very familiar feeling. I must have seen him before."

The second brother drank his tea and waved his hand, saying, "Children from the same street go back and forth every day. How surprising is it that they have seen each other?"

"I always feel that it's not as simple as just seeing him before." Kang Qirui said so. He always felt that he had not only seen this child but also knew him. At this time, Diana ran over and picked up the child, then walked towards the pavilion with an angry face and said, "Ah Zu, are you going too far? Paul was playing in the water at the wellhead, which was so dangerous, and you didn't even go to see him?" She said Ah Zu, but actually she was talking about Kang Qirui and the others as well.

But now everyone had no time to care about Diana's indirect criticism, and instead said in shock: "Is this Paul?" No wonder everyone was so surprised, because Diana had given Paul a super transformation.

Originally Paul's hair was red, naturally curly, and reached his shoulders. Now Paul's red hair has been dyed black, his natural curls have been straightened, and his shoulder-length hair has been cut short to his ears. Coupled with that strange ancient costume, it was hard to recognize that this was Paul at first.

Seeing that his father's face was livid, Kang Qirui deliberately asked, "Diana, you didn't treat Paul like this because your father said he was neither Chinese nor Western, and was a nobody, right?" Now his father became the culprit, so naturally he couldn't be angry.

He sighed and said helplessly: "Do you still remember what I said? Oh, didn't I tell you to do whatever you want? Forget it, take Paul to change into normal clothes." The hair could not be fixed back, and the straight black hair looked pretty good. The main problem was that the outfit was too eye-catching.

The dinner that day was particularly sumptuous. Sachiko bought back everything that everyone liked to eat. She made every dish herself, and Xiugu and Ersao just helped out. She was very sincere. Everyone praised her while eating, which made her feel very accomplished.

Diana and Sachiko finally got over their awkwardness, but Xianglan was still upset. After dinner, she dragged Da Laoguang out to stroll the night streets. After walking through several supermarkets, she saw a store selling electronic keyboards: "Honey, there are electronic keyboards here, what do you think of this one?"

Da Lao Guang glanced at the price and said with a pained face, "Wow, honey, more than three thousand yuan for one." Xianglan pouted, looked at another one and said, "What about this one? This one is cheap, only five hundred and eighteen." Da Lao Guang still felt it was expensive, hesitantly said, "Why don't we go and see if there is a cheaper one?"

"Still watching? We've already walked from Xiguan to Dongshan. If we go any further the supermarkets will be closed. This is the cheapest one, and you obviously don't want to buy it for me." Xianglan was unhappy. She stood there and refused to leave.

"Why are you talking like that? If I really didn't want to buy it for you, I wouldn't accompany you out shopping so late." Big Brother Guang said.

"Then buy it." Xianglan pouted. The boss had no choice but to agree to buy the 11-yuan one. It was already past o'clock when the two of them returned home with the piano. Xianglan didn't care whether it was late or not. She couldn't wait to unpack it, put the piano on the bed, and said, "Honey, I'll perform for you now."

As she was about to play, Da Laoguang quickly went up to stop her and said, "You haven't even learned the doli-mi-fasao, so don't play it randomly. Besides, it's so late and everyone is asleep, don't wake them up later."

Xianglan finally calmed down. She thought for a moment and said, "If I don't know how to play, I'll just go and learn. I heard that piano lessons cost 100 yuan an hour. If those kids can learn it, I'm sure I can, too."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. We bought an electronic keyboard. How are you going to learn the piano?" The boss just didn't understand.

"Honey, I think learning the piano can help me learn more music knowledge. Once I learn the piano, I will definitely be able to play the electronic organ." This is what Xianglan thought. The boss thought it made sense and agreed to let Xianglan sign up for piano lessons.

The next day, Xianglan went to the piano class. The one-hour class passed quickly. When the get out of class was over, the piano teacher specifically told Xianglan to practice more at home and practice hard to learn. Xianglan agreed immediately, "Okay, teacher, I will practice hard at home. We bought an electronic piano at home, which is very convenient for practice."

The piano teacher frowned after hearing what she said, "The electronic keyboard cannot replace the piano. If you bought an electronic keyboard, you might as well sign up for an electronic keyboard class."

Xianglan smiled and said, "The electronic keyboard class is full. Besides, the piano and the electronic keyboard are the same, you play the same black and white keys."

The piano teacher shook his head and said, "You should buy a piano and then come to my place for lessons."

After Xianglan went home and told Da Laoguang about the incident, Da Laoguang said helplessly, "No way? Then the money for today's class would have been wasted, right?"

"How would I know that electronic keyboards can't be used as pianos?" Xianglan avoided Da Laoguang's gaze and said nervously, "The teacher said that I either have to sign up for electronic keyboard classes or buy a piano. I want to buy a piano."

The boss heard what Xianglan expected and really disagreed: "You are so arrogant. Do you think your husband has a lot of money in the bank? A piano costs tens of thousands of dollars. I might as well buy a house."

Xianglan was already upset when she saw that he didn't agree. Tianyou was still using his toys to smash the keyboard, which made her even more annoyed. She scolded, "Youyou, stop smashing the keyboard. What if it breaks?"

Big Brother Guang was also very annoyed. He said to Tianyou: "Go ahead and smash it. It would be better if you help me smash the bricks. Smash it." (End of this chapter)
