The leisurely life of rebirth

Fang Monan was lying on the bed, the room was dark, looking at the heavy snow falling outside, which was still bright and white outside, he suddenly remembered some words that he had only used when he was writing essays when he was a child, which he had not seen for a long time: "Yinzhususu"

Wrapped in thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, what a silvery white world! Looking outside, the tall and short, sparse and lush tree branches are all covered with thick snow. Glitz and tranquility, poverty and wealth, are all covered by it.

After the snow covers it, no difference can be seen. The whole world seems to be truly equal, free and peaceful at this moment. What can cover the sky, cover the earth, and cover all the beauty and ugliness in the world is

That thick white snow!

It was a snow-white and pure world. As she watched, Fang Monan fell asleep. She did not have as good physical strength as they did in front of them.

Everyone stayed together for another five days. After the snow melted, they went to their respective posts.

Before the Lunar New Year, when Qi Qiushi came to see his aunt, he was startled by her big belly. When he mentioned this, his aunt hit him hard with a pillow, which made him worry about tiring her instead of accompanying him carefully.

Yes, a very funny scene.

After Qi Qiushi learned about it, everyone in the family knew about it. For this reason, her grandma called her and scolded her sternly, "Ah! How can you be so calm about such a big matter and not disclose any information? Wings

Are you getting erect? Ah... How dare you hide this." After finally learning that my aunt was pregnant with twins, my grandma couldn't sit still. It was okay, so she quickly found someone to apply for a visa.[

On January 29, 1987, the Spring Festival and New Year's Eve, at the invitation of Andres and his wife, Fang Monan and the others went to Mari's home.

"Today is your country's traditional festival, New Year's Eve. It's a day of reunion. We are in a foreign land, and we will spend it with you." Mary said emotionally.

At Andres's house, Jerry and his wife Cynthia also came to celebrate the New Year with their well-known student. The two families were very familiar friends, and the reason for getting together this time was because these three people came from across the ocean.

The students on the other side are diligent, hard-working, upright and kind.

Lunch was served by Fang Monan, Mary, and Cynthia. As housewives, everyone likes to cook their own food. After discussion, they decided to cook a few special dishes each. Everyone said in unison: "That's it!"

Fang Monan's was the simplest. There was no need to compete with them for the fire. How could New Year's Eve be without dumplings? The other housewives still mainly ate Western food, so a table of Chinese and Western dishes was put on the table.

Everyone sat together. They all knew each other well, and their table manners were not that particular. They chatted while eating. Fang Monan was afraid that the people on his side were not used to Western food, especially a pregnant woman, and the dumplings were enough. The result was still the same.

There was not enough food, because after Mary and others tasted the dumplings, they also exclaimed how delicious they were. They didn’t expect these fat and white things to be so delicious. Everyone was in a lively mood, and there was almost no food left on the table.

Down.

Since there was no Spring Festival Gala, Mo Bei thought of the scene during the Chinese New Year at home, so we might as well just play it ourselves, and everyone responded unanimously.

Taking the family as a unit, the small concert began. Needless to say, the Andres couple taught music themselves. Naturally, they focused on music, with one playing the violin and the other the piano. One after another, cheerful famous songs came out melodiously. It was really

The lingering sound lingers!

The show that Jerry and his wife performed was the musical "Phantom of the Opera" which premiered at the Queen's Theater in London last October. Andres and Mari accompanied them, but Cynthia's voice shocked everyone. She sang

It's the overture called hnnbl. This overture is the most famous song in this musical. It has a passionate, beautiful melody and magnificent momentum, which makes people never tire of listening to it.

Some songs can be listened to for a lifetime, even if all the images and memories about them have been blurred or even faded. But these melodies will always make us continue to experience those familiar touches... Fang Monan once went to Broadway to see this opera.

Just think of this opera "Phantom of the Opera", which has achieved a formidable box office of more than 3.2 billion US dollars worldwide and remains popular for a long time.

When Jerry sang, "Wow..." his voice was so textured that non-professionals wouldn't be able to hear it.

Fang Monan later asked Ma Rui and found out that the two of them were in the choir when they were in school. No wonder they were so outstanding!

At the end of the song, everyone's hands turned red when they clapped their hands. Jerry and his wife performed perfectly.

Fang Monan shook his head, something was still missing? Mari looked at it curiously and asked: "Nan! Is there something wrong?"

Fang Monan pointed to herself, "Me?" Everyone looked like her, and Marui looked at her encouragingly.

Fang Monan smiled and said: "That's what I say, just listen to it. After all, I am not a professional. According to the scenes described in this opera, the style of music should be more gorgeous, weird, dark, crazy and hysterical."

Special style.”

"Is that so?" Andres walked to the piano and performed it again, which was a qualitative change from before and more in line with the atmosphere of the original work.

"Well! Master, that's the master. It's better to have a church organ in the prelude!" Fang Monan said, stroking his chin. "It's majestic, solemn, and full of tone, which is more in line with the dark style."

Andres thought for a while and said: "That makes sense." He kept it in mind.[

Next, it’s time for Fang Monan and his family to perform. The main ones are the two little sisters. They are in a foreign country. Of course, they sing folk songs. Music has no national boundaries.

Folk songs originally refer to the traditional songs of each nation. The ancestors of each nation have their own songs that have existed since ancient times. Most of these songs do not know who the author is, and they are spread orally and are passed down from one person to another.

, passed down from generation to generation to this day. However, the folk songs we talk about today mostly refer to folk songs from the pop music era, which mainly use acoustic guitar as the accompaniment instrument, sing in a natural and frank way, and sing out people's simple life feelings.

That kind of song.

Folk songs, songs of the people. From ancient times to the present, from east to west, from north to south, in every era, region, nation, and country; under the influence of different geography, climate, language, culture, and religion, a type of human nature will naturally arise.

Entertainment, cultural legacy or catharsis of the essence of life.

There are many kinds of Chinese folk songs. Shanxi folk songs have beautiful tunes, are easy to sing, are sincere and sincere, and are rich in local flavor.

The Mongolian long tune has few words and a long tone, high-pitched and distant, soothing and free. It is suitable for narrative and good at lyricism.

Listening to a long pastoral song is like standing on the vast grassland and expressing your experience to nature. Musicians in this artistic realm can call it "the perfect unity of the sounds of nature and the sound of the heart", while estheticians call it "the harmony of human beings and nature".

"The natural high degree of freedom and perfect unity". There are still too few people. If there are more people, the continuous bass will produce a solemn, majestic, glorious and magnificent momentum; there will be an overwhelming momentum. Both can make people

Produce a majestic and sublime experience.

Jiangnan is a land of plenty, with beautiful scenery, charming gardens, small bridges and flowing water. The folk songs of Jiangnan are gentle, quiet, graceful and upbeat.

"It turns out that distant China also has such beautiful music." Mari said, getting up and sitting in front of the piano, and played the music played by Fang Menan and the others again.

"It's great. It's better than me, who is half-assed." Fang Monan said with a smile.

"If you have the chance, you should also visit Nan's hometown." Mari said.

"Okay! I will give you a warm welcome." Fang Monan and the others said together.

The afternoon passed quickly in the music, and people had a new understanding of each other. After returning home, my aunt and Mobei did not let Fang Monan go. They knew so many folk songs and tunes, and the two of them listened to them.

When I came to Xiangyin, I had a strong desire for her to sing it again, so Fang Monan sang a cappella many folk tunes from all over the world. As a result, his voice became hoarse the next day and he could not speak.

As for dinner, my uncle had to cook it. The two of them felt the strong "country flavor" and felt great spiritual satisfaction.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, my grandma and Mr. Lin flew over in a hurry after applying for the visa before the New Year was over.

Jenny drove the car with Fang Monan to pick up the two old people. After getting in the car, grandma asked eagerly: "How is your aunt? If she doesn't call to inform you, you won't report the news secretly!" Grandma looked at her.

He wanted to defend and then said: "Don't tell me that you don't know what pregnancy means."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We have to respect the opinions of pregnant women! She is the boss now. If you don't listen to her, who will listen to you?" Fang Monan shrugged.

"Her boss, everyone in this family has to listen to me now." Grandma said matter-of-factly. "When I see her, I will tell her well."

After arriving home, grandma scolded her when she saw her aunt, but when her aunt said she was hungry, grandma quickly took Fang Monan to cook. The aunt successfully stuck out her tongue and escaped the "catastrophe".

Because she was pregnant with twins, her aunt's belly had swelled like a balloon since she was five months old, which made Qi Qiushi, who was waiting beside her, feel uneasy.

"What? You're still going to school!" Grandma shouted with a voice like a loudspeaker. "No, no, stop school immediately. If something unexpected happens like this, how can you be worthy of Qiushi?"

"Mom, it's okay. The doctor's examination said I'm fine, and I don't feel tired!" the aunt said after swallowing a wonton. She glared at the uncle sitting next to her, blaming him for talking too much.

Qi Qiushi raised his hands, pretending to be guilty, but it seemed to have little effect. His aunt pinched his thigh hard under the table, which made him grin. His grandma asked him what was wrong and lied: "His back

It’s itchy and panicking, it’s okay.”[

"Mom, I will be fine for another two months as long as you stay with me. I will eat well and sleep well, except for the scary big belly." The aunt begged for mercy. Then she pulled Fang Monan over and said, "More

We have someone in our family who is ready to study medicine, so what should we be afraid of?"

"You!" Grandma also knew that she couldn't defeat her, so she pointed her finger on her head and said, "You are really spoiled by us. Okay, let's be more careful. But if you feel any discomfort, you must say it!"

"Yes." My aunt said with a happy smile.

The final result was of course a great victory for the pregnant woman. Qi Qiushi was still busy with things. When grandma came, he left with peace of mind and came back when the child was born. (To be continued)
