It was time to eat.
The vegetables were all freshly picked from the fields, and the aroma wafted through the air.
s.h.i.+ Jin had prepared a lot and took into account everyone in the production team. This was the first time the entire production team had smelled such fragrant food and everyone was looking forward to eating.
After dinner, s.h.i.+ Xuexin asked with a smile, “Grandpa, I’ll bring everyone tomorrow to appreciate the places I lived in when I was young and the places I went.”
“No problem.” Old Master Li looked at her deeply and did not reject her. At the same time, he shook his head inwardly.
If she was really a good child, the Li family might as well give her a hand, but from her performance, there was really no need for that.
During the night break, s.h.i.+ Xuexin read the comments online.
People had many doubts about her now. Many people suspected that she had no feelings for Old Master Li at all. Things were not like she described.
She clutched her phone angrily. What did these people know?
Wasn’t it normal for her to have no feelings for Old Master Li? How did he treat her? Who knew about the pain she had suffered when she was young? Why was it that her two brothers could go to the big city to receive education and she could not get anything?
The next morning s.h.i.+ Jin woke up early. She went to a corner of the courtyard to water the plants that her grandfather had planted.
Shen Xinghe also got up and followed behind her. “Sis, what can I do?”
“If you want to help, go help Grandpa w.a.n.g make breakfast.”
“Okay!” Shen Xinghe was happy to help. As he washed his hands, he said, “This is really a paradise on earth. If I live here, I will definitely live a long life.”
“If you don’t live here, you’ll still live a long life.”
Shen Xinghe smiled and went to help.
Everyone gradually got up.
Lin Yao stretched and said, “It’s so comfortable. The countryside is really quiet and the air is fresh.”
“That’s right. It’s rare that I don’t have insomnia,” said Xia Peifeng. “Usually, I’m a night owl.”
Wen w.a.n.g was in a good mood. “Yes, I woke up naturally today.”
s.h.i.+ Jin took a look at her grandfather’s greenhouse. Of course, there were all kinds of expensive flowers and plants here, including precious tonics.
Sleeping here was like using all these medicines to nourish one’s body. It was difficult to even lose sleep.
After breakfast, it was s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s turn to perform. She smiled and said, “I’ll show you my old room and my car. I wonder if my room is still there.”
“It’s still there,” Grandpa w.a.n.g said and took out a bunch of keys. “Let me bring you there.”
The fans were already preparing to watch s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s miserable childhood. They were even prepared to cry.
Grandpa w.a.n.g took the lead and opened her room. “Everything here is still the same as when you left. It’s been almost ten years and nothing has been touched.”
s.h.i.+ Xuexin did not deny that either.
The room opened.
What entered everyone’s sight was a large and s.p.a.cious room with a neatly made bed.
Everything was similar to what she remembered. Chinese paintings hung on the walls, and there was a piano and violin in the corner.
Xia Peifeng spoke first. “Xuexin, you’ve been living well since you were young.”
“Ah, is that so?” This was not what s.h.i.+ Xuexin wanted to hear.
“Of course. Do you know when I got my first guitar? When I was twenty! That was about ten years ago! And the only time I could use the piano was at school.”
Xia Peifeng’s background was average, but it was definitely not bad either. Since he had said so, it was obvious that s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s childhood was very different from what everyone had imagined.
Lin Yao also smiled and said, “The first time I had a piano was when I was seventeen or eighteen. Xuexin, when did you start learning piano?”
Grandpa w.a.n.g said, “When she was about three years old, Old Master Li prepared a piano and violin for Xuexin and hired a teacher.”
Wen w.a.n.g touched the violin and said enviously, “This violin is not bad.”
He had many violins and was very professional in this area. If he said that it was not bad, then it was definitely not bad.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin was a little fl.u.s.tered. “I didn’t really learn it well when I was young because the teachers were all teachers from the town. The teachers back then were pretty average.”
Grandpa w.a.n.g wanted to say something but hesitated. The camera was not aimed at him, so no one saw his expression.
Lin Yao agreed and said, “That’s true. In many small places, the teachers’ qualifications are not good.”
“Xuexin was still a little delayed.” Wen w.a.n.g was very disappointed with her previously, but he felt that his words were very fair and impartial. “If she had received systematic education earlier, her development would definitely have been better.”
Lin Yao agreed.
The bullet screen said, “Yeah, if Xuexin lived in the s.h.i.+ family, would she be learning from Elder Zhu?”
“s.h.i.+ Jin still took a lot of advantage.”
“Two people’s lives have been exchanged. That’s impossible to fix.”
s.h.i.+ Xuexin said softly, “My initiation was indeed not very good. Back then, there were many things that I did not learn very well. Back then, there were indeed no good teachers in the town. However, you can’t blame Grandpa. Back then, this was the only condition in this place. I don’t blame anyone.”
Lin Yao comforted him. “It’s alright. You’re learning from a good teacher now. You’re still young. There’s still a chance.”
Wen w.a.n.g added, “The past is the past. Don’t think too much.”
“I didn’t think too much about it. I know that Grandpa and the Li family have tried their best. I don’t blame anyone.” Her words sounded very pitiful.
Seeing her like this, Lin Yao and Wen w.a.n.g continued to comfort her.
Shen Xinghe added. “Your life is up to you, not the heavens. Aren’t you fine now?”
As everyone spoke, Wen w.a.n.g saw a Chinese painting hanging on the wall and was a little surprised. “That is…”
Grandpa w.a.n.g was about to say something when s.h.i.+ Xuexin spoke. “It’s just a random painting.”
Wen w.a.n.g did not say anything else. The cameraman gave the Chinese painting a shot and did not bother about it anymore.
The comments were filled with heartache for s.h.i.+ Xuexin.
Xia Peifeng also saw the decorations and various items in her room. They looked elegant and refined. They were of good quality and did not seem to be crudely made. However, s.h.i.+ Xuexin was immersed in self-pity. She was still reminiscing about her difficult childhood, so he did not say anything.
Grandpa w.a.n.g kept shaking his head.
s.h.i.+ Jin also stood at the side with an indifferent expression and remained silent.
