Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 117 Give your sister Caier a good rub
When Li Xiang returned home, he heard a burst of "dong dong dong~" drum sounds coming from the backyard. However, it was not the passionate kind, but a song of "Fortune Telling" full of gentle resentment, and full of children's love.

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw a pretty figure waving her slender arms to beat the drum. Wasn't it Jiang Caier?
"Why did you beat my masculine war drum so sadly? It's New Year's Day!" Li Xiang couldn't help but think of his grandmother's complaints about his grandfather, why were they playing "Erquan Yingyue" and "Zanghuayin" on New Year's Day, so he walked over and joked.

"Hey, you're back from the blind date? How was it? Did the girl like you?" Jiang Caier put down the drumstick, sneered, and turned around. Her eyes were a little red, as if bloodshot.

Li Xiang couldn't help but feel distressed: "You've worked hard at school these days, you should get some sleep when you come back."

Jiang Caier: “…” Fuck you!
"Tell the truth quickly, did you go on a blind date?" Jiang Caier jumped over and grabbed Li Xiang's arm tightly.

Li Xiang quickly explained: "No, I was planning the village party and went to Leijiagou to get some help."

Immediately, he recounted what had happened and the results.

"Is that so? Then what if I want to perform too?" Jiang Cai'er felt inexplicably happier. She tilted her head and thought, "What do you think I should perform?"

"You, it's all right."

"You can call me anything you want. That's too perfunctory."

"They're all really good. For example, the Miao dance you performed before, the Midu folk song you sang, and "Spring Courtyard Snow" and "Frozen" are all quite good!"

Li Xiang sincerely felt that Jiang Caier was first-rate in both singing and dancing. Moreover, she was a rural child and had never attended any singing and dancing training classes since she was a child. This was purely a natural talent.

In other words, their families did not have the conditions since they were young. If they had the conditions, they would have taken all kinds of interest classes like the kids in big cities, and they would have been completely crushed.

"No, no, I've sung and skipped all of those before. I have to come up with something new. I can't let people say that I only have those three tricks." Jiang Caier wanted to be creative and give everyone a refreshing feeling.

Li Xiang said: "If your class teacher finds out, he will blame me again."

"Oh, it's Chinese New Year, and I only have one performance. I should combine work and rest. I performed at the village party this time, and I can make up for the time during Chinese New Year. Well, I got up early on the first day of the Chinese New Year, at four or five in the morning, to practice questions. Is that okay?"

Li Xiang joked, "Then remember to send a New Year's greeting to Teacher Huang, and send her the photos of you doing the questions at 4 or 5 o'clock, so that she can show off to her colleagues. After receiving the message, Teacher Huang will definitely show off to her colleagues, saying, 'Look, how hard the students in my class work, they started working hard in the early morning of the first day of the New Year!' Then it will also make other students feel the pressure and crush them!"

"Haha," Jiang Cai'er laughed, but she felt something was wrong. "How can I be so embarrassed to post it myself?"

Li Xiang suggested: "You can just post a circle of friends at four or five in the morning. The wording can be more tactful and subtle, and indirectly show that you are working hard. Although learning is for yourself, it is also important to please the teacher."

"I know, I know." Jiang Caier's eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted, "I know what to perform!"

"Perform what?"

"I just found two newly made flutes in your room. Give me one and I'll find a nice song to practice." Jiang Caier also learned to play the flute when she was a child.

There are bamboos all over the hill behind, so how could I not know how to play the flute?

Li Xiang said, "I remember you used to have a flute." When performing, of course it is better to use the instrument that you are familiar with. Every flute has a different thickness and timbre, and the size and position of the sound holes are also different, which need to be adjusted.

"It's been so many years, it's broken long ago, give me one." Jiang Caier blinked and requested strongly, thinking that the flute is a pair, how could I not want one?
Since Jiang Caier wanted it, Li Xiang naturally wouldn't be reluctant, so he took her to get the flute.

"How about this one?" Jiang Caier looked at each flute, picked one and said.

Li Xiang was stunned: "I played this one before."

"This one, it feels good to me."

"Okay, as long as you don't mind." Li Xiang handed her the flute, and took out three hairpins and two bracelets from the drawer and gave them to her.

This was made specially for Jiang Caier last time. The styles of the three hairpins are Wanyue, Nongmei and Lujiao, two are made of golden nanmu and one is made of red elm wood. The bracelets are one 1.5 and one 2.0, both are made of golden nanmu.

"Wow, so beautiful, thank you brother!" Jiang Caier couldn't let it go. She let her hair down on the spot, tried to make a bun, and then fastened it with one of the hairpins.

She didn't do it in front of a mirror, so her hair looked a little casual and messy, but it looked very beautiful after it was put in. Especially her swan neck was fully exposed, white, slender, elegant, and with a faint fragrance.

Li Xiang sniffed slightly, raised his thumb and gave a thumbs up. "Let's go to the yard to practice playing the flute." Jiang Caier stuffed the remaining hairpins and bracelets into her pockets, then pulled Li Xiang to the backyard.

They sat on the bloodstone forest and played the instruments, with one person squatting on a large stone, giving the impression of being in a discussion.

It was afternoon now, the sun was strong, the stone had been in the sun for most of the day, it was warm. If it was summer, sitting on it could cure uterine cold.

"Brother, why do I feel that every time I come back from vacation, your house has changed a lot, and this yard has been repaired better and better." Jiang Caier thought to herself, her brother really has so many tricks.

She also likes this colorful stone forest very much. It is great for taking photos on the rocks. If the angle is chosen well, it can create a feeling of sitting on the top of a mountain.

"And the stage for the village evening party is over there," Jiang Caier pointed with her hand and shouted crisply, "If there aren't enough chairs, you can sit on this stone jungle. The view is so good."

Li Xiang laughed and said, "We don't know how many people will come yet."

"Of course there will be a lot of people. It's such a lively event in the countryside, and it's almost the New Year, so everyone will come to watch the fun. I'll invite my grandparents, uncle and his family over. Also, notify a few aunts and ask them to come and show their support."

In fact, Li Xiang also thought so. He called not only his own relatives, but also participants, such as some people from Leijiagou and some people from Shenjiawan, where my grandfather lived. As for the lack of chairs and stools, he could just borrow them from the villagers.

The two of them began to play the flute. Jiang Caier got the new flute and tried the tone first. Then, according to the sound produced, she constantly adjusted her breathing and mouth shape, as well as the amount of breath she needed to use, and the pace of the breath.

In fact, if a new flute is difficult to play at first or the sound is not sweet and does not meet your expectations, it has little to do with the flute body and membrane, and does not require a so-called "opening" ceremony. "Breaking-in" is just a process of exploring the characteristics of the flute on your own.

It’s like when a shooter gets a new gun, he must “run it in” and “establish communication” with the gun to achieve a state of unity between man and gun.

Similarly, when you buy a new car, you need a period of adjustment and familiarity.

Jiang Caier was indeed very talented, and she had also practiced breathing techniques, and a little bit of spiritual power was born in her body, and she had a strong control over her breath. Soon, the flute was played "through", and a melodious and graceful "Myth" sounded. This was also a very classic and familiar piece of music, and Li Xiang also picked up the flute to play along.

After playing "Myth", the two played "Wild" together.

This is the exclusive BGM of Emperor Huang Tian. Emperor Huang Tian lived a lonely life, so the music he played is very beautiful and sad.

As the flute was blowing, a little fox with a fiery red body suddenly came out of the dog hole in the backyard wall, followed by Erhuang. The dog and the fox ran towards Li Xiang and the others.

"Wow, what a beautiful little fox! Brother, is this your new pet?" Jiang Caier was very surprised, because the little fox was very close to Erhuang, and it entered the backyard as if it was its own home. It was not afraid of people at all and was obviously a pet.

She had just had a holiday and she didn't bring her phone to school. After she came back, she watched some of the videos Li Xiang had taken before. However, Li Xiang's little red fox was a very rare species. In order to avoid being reported, Li Xiang had posted it once before, but deleted it immediately. So Jiang Caier didn't know about it. It was really the first time she saw it.

Li Xiang laughed and said, "It's Er Huang's wife. One morning, it was very cold. When I woke up, I saw this little thing sleeping in the dog shed with Er Huang."

"Haha, Erhuang is so lucky to have found such a beautiful wife!" Jiang Caier was in high spirits with light in her eyes. She looked at Li Xiang deeply and thought to herself, Brother, you are even worse than a dog.

At this time, the little fox and Erhuang had already run to the two of them, but they were both under Li Xiang's stone.

Jiang Caier jumped down and wanted to touch the little fox, but she didn't dare to, so she asked, "Does it bite people?"

Li Xiang said: "No, it won't bite anyone when I'm here. It's very smart and can tell who is a friend and who is an enemy."

"So smart?"

"That's it. Huo Ling'er, let your sister Cai'er touch it." Li Xiang ordered.

Sure enough, the little fox came over very actively and rubbed against Jiang Caier's legs, with its eyes narrowed and a cute look on its face.

"Haha!" Jiang Cai'er was immediately delighted. She squatted down, reached out and touched it carefully, and exclaimed in surprise, "Its fur is so smooth and beautiful!"

Just touching it like this was not enough, so he held the little fire fox in his arms and stroked it hard a few times.
