My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1202 Child Seven

It's really cold tonight.

It's only because it's relatively close to Xu Qingya's house that the distance to drive is too short; otherwise, Zhang You would definitely have chosen to drive, as the streetlights inside the community would have been on long ago.

The green plants on both sides swayed in the wind.

A gust of wind blew by, and yellow leaves fell from the maple trees on both sides of the community. Xu Qingya lived in the second row in front, which was quite close. Zhang You and Li Ran walked relatively slowly, and it didn't take them more than three minutes to go from leaving their own yard to appearing in Xu Qingya's yard.

"Sister Li Ran"

The girl who opened the door was Wang Lanlan, the one Wang Yu had adopted.

Because they often played together during this time, this girl became quite familiar with Xiao Zishan and Li Ran. Mainly, the two girls were easy to get along with and didn't bully her.

After a while, you'll naturally get the hang of it.

Children learn things much faster than adults.

Adults need time to get to know each other, and they may even be a little wary during that time. Children don't need that; if they can play together, they are good friends.

Why didn't you call me?!

Zhang You reached out and pinched the cheek of five or six-year-old Lanlan.

Although the school's official enrollment wouldn't begin until August or September, it posed no challenge for Wang Yu. She directly sent Xiao Lanlan to the best kindergarten to be a student in the junior class.

It seems that the tuition fee is two to three hundred thousand yuan per year on average. Anyway, ever since Wang Yu adopted this little girl, the image of this woman in Zhang You's mind has started to improve. And the fact that she sent Xiao Lanlan to such a good kindergarten shows that Wang Yu really wants to raise this girl well.

The only thing that Zhang You found hard to accept was that Wang Yu made Xiao Lanlan call her "Mom".

If it were "Grandma," Zhang You might have thought more highly of her, but this "Mom" was really unconventional. However, he secretly despised Wang Yu in his heart, but in reality, he just called her that.

Even the oldest mother is better than someone in an orphanage without a mother.

Moreover, they not only gained a mother, but also a father, and an older brother who likes to take shortcuts.

Uncle Zhang

Xiao Lanlan immediately called out.

"good"

Zhang You replied with a smile.

When Li Ran came over, Xiao Lanlan was very happy. She stayed close to Li Ran and told her what she had learned at kindergarten that day. She also happily said that the teacher had praised her.

Wang Yu followed behind, watching Xiao Lanlan and Li Ran talk with a smile. After a while, she finally spoke up, "Zhang You, we made a promise, so don't go back on it. Don't try to fool my Qingya with some random song later. It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust your wife."

"I'll say it again, my character is guaranteed."

Zhang You said seriously.

Arriving at the second floor of Xu Qingya's house, it was different from the third floor of Zhang You's house, which was used as a music room and a teaching room.

Because the original owner had reserved a relatively spacious area for children to play on the second floor, Xu Qingya simply had it tidied up and turned it into her own music room.

Seeing her older brother arrive, Xu Qingya, who had just finished showering and changed into a very cute set of pajamas, led Li Ran directly into the music room. Every singer likes to collect musical instruments, and Xu Qingya was no exception. However, her family did not have a piano, but instead had collected quite a few violins and cellos.

Each one was packed in a box.

Judging from the material of the box, it must be quite expensive. Even if Li Ran has great musical talent, she still has to start by learning how to hold a violin and how to play it.

Zhang You did want Li Ran to learn to play the erhu, but when he thought that such an instrument was not suitable for a girl, he gave up. However, it depends on Li Ran's learning ability. If she can learn the violin and cello quickly, Zhang You wouldn't mind teaching her.

There are also things like the xiao (vertical bamboo flute).

It seems that Xia Zhi Qiu is quite good at this.

Besides the musical instruments, there were also some jigsaw puzzle pieces scattered on the floor of the room. They must have been put together by Wang Yu and Xiao Lanlan. It seems that this woman really intends to settle down in Xu Qingya's house.

However, this is also the reason why Xu Qingya is not married. Once she falls in love and gets married, she will naturally leave.

Xu Qingya did not start by talking about the structure of the instrument body.

Once you start learning, you'll naturally understand these things; there's no need for further explanation. After Li Ran set up the violin according to the posture she taught, Xu Qingya pulled over a soundboard, pointed to the scale diagram on it, and began to explain to Li Ran, saying, "First string, open string E, second string A, third string D, fourth string G, starting from here and slowly going down are the different areas of the scale..."

"My daughter Qingya is taught very diligently."

Wang Yu exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang You didn't even glance at her.

The old woman's intentions were obvious; she simply wanted to remind him that Xu Qingya had taught him so diligently, so he shouldn't go back on his word. Little Lanlan ran in from outside, holding a small red flower in her hand.

Then, leaning against Wang Yu, watching Li Ran receiving guidance from Xu Qingya, as if waiting for Li Ran to rest before giving it to her, Wang Yu patted Xiao Lanlan's head and said, "Let's show it to your Uncle Zhang first. He just got it at school today. Let him smell it and see if it smells good."

Zhang You chuckled twice.

He reached out and pulled Xiaolanlan to his side, asking, "Did you get a little red flower today?!"

"Um"

The five- or six-year-old girl nodded quickly.

Zhang You knew that this girl was waiting for Li Ran to finish her violin lesson so she could tell Li Ran that she had received a little red flower today, hoping that Li Ran would praise her.

"awesome"

Zhang You took the little red flower from the little girl. Schools with two or three hundred thousand students are indeed different. They give roses as well as little red flowers to children, unlike ordinary schools where a single rose is given as a token gesture.

She was even treated like a treasure by her children.

Seeing Xiaolan looking at him expectantly, Zhang You smiled and patted her head. But his words, "You're really amazing," didn't satisfy the little girl's vanity. She glanced down at the little red flower in her hand.

Zhang You immediately remembered a song.

Then, he presented the little red flower to Xiaolanlan and sang with a smile, "I give you a little red flower, blooming on the horizon where cattle and sheep roam, as a reward for you never forgetting me wherever you go. The snow-white sand, the calm lake, those real illusions, are my thoughts for you."

Xu Qingya, who was instructing Li Ran on how to play the violin, stopped and subconsciously turned her head.

Even Li Ran looked at her master.

Wang Yu also stared at Zhang You with a shocked look, as if he were an alien. Xiao Lanlan's arm, which was holding the little red flower, was being pulled by Zhang You, who was swinging it back and forth, just like the "crutch" game that Wang Yu used to play when she was a child.

"I'll give you a little red flower, blooming in the deepest sand of your heart, as a reward for your ability to feel the struggles of every destiny. Who squandered their time? Who desperately longed for something? This is not a question, nor does it require your answer."
