The Flustering Sound of the Pipa from the Hallway

Paying attention to his gaze, Meng Xintang took out a box from the cabinet on the side and walked in front of him: "Happy birthday."

Shen Shiyan looked at the table and looked at the things in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "How do you know?"

He has been celebrating his birthday at home since he was a child, but he has never mentioned it to others, and he knows very little. Even his former classmates gave blessings on the birthday of his solar calendar.

"The picture inside has your mother's inscription." Meng Xintang said softly.

Shen Shiyan then remembered that this year he was thirty years old, and his back room was a picture of his mother when he was ten years old.

Meng Xintang's gift was packed in a white box and tied with a beautiful bow. Shen Shiyan admired her eyes for a while, then slowly dragged a ribbon to open the bow. The movement was very light and careful.

"I have been thinking about what to give you for a long time. I really ca n’t pick the piano, and there is no way to do it, so I will give you one," Meng Xintang coughed. They are all good. "

After seeing the contents of the box, Shen Shiyan completely choked. Lying inside is a radio, a silver metal case, small and compact.

The radio at Shen Shiyan's house has been around for some years. When Meng Xintang saw him that morning, he said that it seems that people now don't listen to the radio. Shen Shiyan laughed at the time and said, "It was the habit of my parents. When I was a child, I followed them and I kept them."

Meng Xintang remembered that when he was in Qinhang earlier, Shen Shiyan said to the record player that jīng said: "Still press the play button to save trouble."

If you use things for a long time, they won't work. That radio became more noisy and less high-frequency. Meng Xintang knew that Shen Shiyan's insistence on using it was a kind of commemoration. He didn't want him to change it, just thinking, maybe he could also listen to himself occasionally, so that the past and the present coexist.

Shen Shiyan touched the radio that had condensed a lot of effort at first glance, fiddled with it twice, and pressed the play button. After only listening for two seconds, he laughed.

"The effect of yours is more than 'good', isn't it? Such radios are not available on the market." Shen Shiyan tuned to the often-nighted music channel and couldn't help saying, "I like it very much, thank engineer Meng."

Meng Xintang was relieved.

"How do you do that to make a radio achieve this quality? Like a record player."

"Considering the needs of special users, some optimizations have been made." Meng Xintang said with a smile, "It's actually not difficult, it's just a radio on the market, users only need it to be a radio, so there is no need to trade the cost for sound quality."

"A special user?" Shen Shiyan repeated with a smile.

Meng Xintang nodded: "After the permanent package is sold, the package will be upgraded."

Shen Shiyan smiled and stared at him all the time, Meng Xintang looked at him for a while, and smiled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

This person will pay attention to everything he has, and always know exactly what he cares about. Shen Shiyan felt a little itchy in her heart, and it was completely soft.

"It's okay," he shook his head, and turned off the radio in his hand. "I just think that a boyfriend like you can make money immediately."

Meng Xintang heard Shen Shiyan call himself like this for the first time, and even he himself did not expect that the words "boyfriend" would make his heart beat a little more.

It feels good, it's never been better.

Meng Xintang insisted on lighting candles for Shen Shiyan. When Chu extinguished the two clusters of fire, Shen Shiyan was too close and blinked with a smoky smoke. He rubbed his eyes, reached out and took one of them: "I don't seem to have chuī candles for many years."

When people grow up, many things are too lazy to do, and they don't want to do it. When Shen Shiyan had a chuī candle last time, his parents were there, and Xu Yanwu was there. Later, sometimes, Xu Yanwu bought a cake for him. He did n’t let him insert a candle. Not too lazy to have a birthday.

Thinking of the awkward Xu Yanwu, Shen Shiyan couldn't help but smiled and reached out his mobile phone: "Do you know what birthday gift Yan Wu sent me?"

"what?"

Shen Shiyan smiled silently and handed the phone to Meng Xintang's eyes.

Three short messages are displayed on the screen, all of which are notices that Xu Yanwu forwarded to Shen Shiyan who have successfully helped him purchase a course—a Taekwondo class, a Sanda class, and a boxing class. Shen Shiyan had a rare crying expression, with the words, "Master, forgive me."

Meng Xintang smiled and shook his head: "He is really interested."

"This heart is really too heavy, I really can't stand it." But he wouldn't show up in Hutong when he rested.

Meng Xintang is not on his side this time: "I think I can learn one, but these three classes are not very practical for you. I will find someone to teach you to protect yourself."

Shen Shiyan pursed her lips and folded her hands: "Please give me time to sleep at home."

When the two were almost full, the courtyard door was knocked suddenly, and before they answered, the courtyard door was pushed open.

"Elder brother."

A crisp female voice called such a sentence.

Shen Shiyan leaned back, looked towards the yard, and replied, "Chen Nian."

"Are you eating?"

"Ok."

Entering the room was a little girl, fifteen or six years old, carrying a snack box, two bottles of wine, and a red lantern.

"This is the wine and moon cake that Grandpa asked me to bring. The mooncakes are filled with red bean paste." The little girl put the box and wine on the table and raised the red lantern in her hand. "And Grandpa just I made a lantern for you to hang at the door? "

Meng Xintang stood up: "I'll help you."

"Don't be busy, let me introduce you." Shen Shiyan looked at Meng Xintang and said, "This is the granddaughter of Lao Gu, Gu Chennian. Chen Nian, this is my friend, Meng Xintang."

"Hi brother." Gu Chennian greeted him nicely.

"Hello." Meng Xintang stepped out and asked, "Where is the lantern hanging?"

Shen Shiyan didn't follow, but sat down, watching the two hands while the lantern was hanging.

"Did you eat?" Hanging the lantern, Shen Shiyan asked Gu Chennian.

"Eat," Gu Chennian sat on a stool next to him, nosing his mouth. "Today I have a grandmother and a family is here too. There are too many people. It ’s really messy and noisy. I will come and hide for a while. Leave in a little while and won't disturb you for a long time. "

"Don't bother, we're almost done." Shen Shiyan pulled the cake over and asked Chen Nian with his head, "Are you afraid of getting fat? How big are you going to eat?"

Gu Chennian froze for a moment: "Who's birthday?"

"I."

"Ah? I don't know." Gu Chennian broke his face. "I didn't prepare any gifts."

"How old I am, what gift do I need." Despite this, Shen Shiyan gave Meng Xintang a glance.

Meng Xintang smiled back to him, raised his hand and touched his nose.

"I'll replenish you next time," Gu Chennian said as she ate the cake. Shen Shiyan cared a few words about her recent situation. Gu Chennian bite a small fork and held her head in anxiety. "唉In fact, I have something to ask you today. "

"what's up?"

"I'm not a sophomore now, so I have to think about what will happen afterwards. I don't want to study at home in my country, but my parents won't let me study abroad, so don't worry."
