two Aunt Cui also often came to live in my house, and it was my stepmother who brought her here. Because her younger sister is engaged, I am afraid that once she gets married, she will suddenly be left alone, which will make her sad. Because there are not many people in her family, only her grandfather in his sixties, and an aunt who is also a widow, with a daughter. The cousins ​​were supposed to play together to relieve boredom, but because their personalities are too different, they have always lived their lives in different ways. I have seen her cousin, who always wears dark clothes and has a black face. She sits in the house with her mother all day long. When her mother washes clothes, she also washes clothes. When her mother cries, she also cries.Maybe she helped her mother cry for her dead father, maybe it was their poor family.Then others will not know.

Originally the daughters of the family, Aunt Cui and the other two sisters looked like rich ladies, while the cousin looked like a country girl.This entitles her to come and live with us frequently. Her own sister is engaged and will be married in a year.During this year, my younger sister became very rich, because her husband's family brought a dowry gift as soon as they got engaged. In this city, there used to be no foreign tickets, but the postings issued by Guangxin Company, which was said to be one hundred and one thousand.Her sister's dowry was probably in the tens of thousands.So she couldn't get up suddenly, and bought this today and that tomorrow, flower broochs one after another, silk cords, earrings with tassels, foreign watches, everything.Whenever she goes out on the street, she is with her older sister, and now she always pays the fare. Her older sister wants to pay, but she refuses in every possible way. Sometimes in front of people, the older sister must pay, and the younger sister must not. Ken, it turned out to be very embarrassing, and my sister felt that a kind of right had been deprived.

But regarding her younger sister's engagement, Aunt Cui was not at all envious.She has seen her younger sister's future husband. He is not very good-looking. He is tall and wears a blue robe and black mandarin jacket. He looks like a businessman and a little gentleman.In addition, Aunt Cui was too young to think of a husband or marriage. Therefore, although the younger sister is getting richer day by day beside her, the younger sister is rich, but she has not investigated why the younger sister is rich. So before her younger sister left her, she absolutely didn't pay attention to the matter of "engagement".

Even though her younger sister was already married, she still didn't pay much attention to the matter of "engagement". But she often feels lonely.She and her younger sister went in and out, because the family environment was lonely, they were like a pair of twins, but now one has gone.Not only did Aunt Cui feel monotonous, but even her grandfather felt sorry for her. So since her younger sister got married, she doesn't go home very often, she always lives in her mother's house, and sometimes my stepmother also takes her into our house. Aunt Cui is very smart. She can play the Taisho Qin, a kind of Japanese piano that was popular in China a few years ago, and she can also play the flute or the flute.But there are many times when I play the piano.When we lived in my house, my uncle would play these musical instruments with us after dinner.Dizi, xiao, Japanese qin, organ, yueqin, and others.There are no real Western musical instruments.

Aunt Cui also came to participate in this kind of lively time. Aunt Cui played a piece and immediately cooperated with us all.So everyone felt that there was a new trick added to the old tune that we had been familiar with every day. So immediately we redoubled our efforts, and the flute player played the flute very loudly, shaking the flute membrane as if it was about to burst.The ten-year-old brother was playing the harmonica. He shook his head as if he wanted to swallow the harmonica. As for the tune he was playing, no one paid any attention.This kind of nonsense seems to be all that is needed when everyone suddenly has courage.

As for the person who pressed the organ, because he pressed it faster and faster, he might not be able to find the keys in the end, but the pedals stepped on faster and faster, making a whining sound, as if he wanted to destroy the organ on purpose. Rip the organ in general. Probably the piece I played was, I don't know how many times I played it in succession, and it seemed that everyone didn't want to stop.But in the end, I really lost my strength, and those who couldn't find the beat couldn't find the beat, and those who couldn't keep up with the tune couldn't keep up with the tune, so amidst the laughter, everyone stopped.

I don't know why, in such a happy tone, everyone is a little sad, maybe it's the extreme joy that makes us sad, which made us all laugh until tears flowed at the same time. At this time, we looked at the door and window, and my youngest little brother, who was just able to walk, also came to participate with a big broken accordion on his back. Everyone knew that the accordion never played.Laughed everyone to death.Have fun this time. My elder brother (uncle's son, who plays the piano very well) is the best at playing the flute. At this time, he put down the flute and said to Aunt Cui, "Come and play!" Aunt Cui stood up without saying a word. , ran to his own room, my brother, for a long time to watch the curtain.
