My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1063 Arriving Home (Part 4)

While Zhang You was teaching his eldest apprentice to drive.

Bai Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa in the second-floor living room. She looked around and exclaimed in amazement, "Teacher Jiang, your house is so big!"

"well enough!"

Jiang Yiren replied with a smile, "There are many celebrities in the entertainment industry whose families are much bigger than ours. You might think it's big when you first see it, but once you own it and live there for a while, you'll realize it's not that big of a deal."

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to afford it in my lifetime."

Bai Xiaoxiao replied.

"I can afford it."

Jiang Yiren laughed and said, "Since your teacher Zhang is going to make you Zhongxia's manager, once Zhongxia debuts, you'll have more than just this one set of skills..."

Before Jiang Yiren could finish speaking, Xiao Zishan leaned close to Bai Xiaoxiao and asked, "Sister Bai, aren't you also a music student? What do you think of my singing?"

Before Bai Xiaoxiao could answer, Xiao Zishan started singing her mother's "Red Bean," saying, "We haven't properly experienced the weather when snowflakes bloom, we tremble together, and we'll understand what gentleness is. We haven't held hands and walked across the barren sand dunes, and maybe from now on we'll learn to cherish forever... Sister Bai, I think I sing better than my mom, but she won't admit it. So tell me, who sings better!?"

"..."

Bai Xiaoxiao's expression was slightly stiff.

He also had an incredulous expression on his face.

Is this the singing level of Master Zhongxia's biological daughter?! Shouldn't it be utterly awe-inspiring from the first note?!
How could this be?! They didn't sing any wrong notes, but the key was way off.

Seeing Zhang Zishan looking at her expectantly, Bai Xiaoxiao scratched her head awkwardly and said, "Teacher Jiang sang well, and you sang well too."

Anyway.

She couldn't afford to offend either of them.

She was fortunate to be here today thanks to Zhongxia; otherwise, she might never have been able to enter such a luxurious residential area in her entire life. It's like many people know that the city's wealthy districts are there, but they are not places they can set foot in.

Under the same sky.

The same city.

Different life trajectories.

However, compared to the opportunity that ordinary people never have in their entire lives, she not only has such an opportunity, but also has the opportunity to afford it. It just requires more effort and sweat. And what poor children have in abundance is cheap effort and sweat.

Over the next period of time, Bai Xiaoxiao sought advice from Jiang Yiren on music knowledge and singing techniques. Jiang Yiren, who became a queen of song through genuine singing skills, was far superior to teachers who simply taught by rote.

There is ultimately a significant gap between theory and practice.

Just like Jiang Yiren said, the way singers protect their voices is more comprehensive and detailed than that of school teachers. Around nine o'clock, Zhang You and Zhong Xia appeared in the living room on the second floor.

"How's the training going!?"

Jiang Yiren asked with a smile.

"Aside from being a little timid, he's perfect."

Zhang You commented.

"Master and Mistress, let's go back to school then."

Zhongxia spoke.

"Let your master take you there!"

Jiang Yiren said with a smile.

If only Zhongxia were to come tonight, she would definitely have asked her husband, her eldest disciple, to stay overnight and have her master take her away tomorrow. But with another person here, it wouldn't be so convenient, so Jiang Yiren didn't try to persuade her to stay.

"No need for our master to take us; we can just take a taxi."

Zhongxia shook her head quickly.

There's a car in the garage.

As he spoke, Zhang You led the two to the basement parking garage, handed Zhong Xia the keys to his family's black sedan, and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. Now that you have your driver's license, you have to drive it. The more you drive, the more proficient you'll become."

"Thank you, Master."

Zhongxia quickly thanked him and then drove away. Zhang You returned to the second floor and took the two girls to the third floor to check the homework he had assigned before going abroad.

The car slowly drove away from the residential area.

"This neighborhood is so beautiful."

Bai Xiaoxiao turned her head to look back, her eyes revealing longing for the high-end residential area. Seeing that Zhongxia did not respond, she turned her head to look at her. She saw that Zhongxia was staring intently ahead and checking the rearview mirror. She was in a state of high concentration. Bai Xiaoxiao did not disturb her.

It would be a lie to say I don't envy midsummer.

Zhongxia, a child from an ordinary family, was incredibly lucky.

When I was in high school, I met the singer of "Starlight," a music teacher named Xia Zhi Qiu. After being noticed by this teacher, I would study with her whenever I had a holiday.

Bai Xiaoxiao felt that the reason why Zhongxia's singing skills were among the best in her class was not so much because her teacher Zhang You taught her well, but because of the teacher named Xia Zhi Qiu who taught her step by step.

Strictly speaking, Xia Zhi Qiu was Zhong Xia's teacher.

after that.

Bai Xiaoxiao had heard from Zhong Xia that this Teacher Xia had asked her to recognize Zhang You as her master and had Zhang You take her out of the foot massage shop. Then, Zhang You got her into the Shanghai Conservatory of Music before Zhong Xia finished her senior year of high school.

Such a life is like a story, where at every crucial juncture in life, it's as if a cheat code is activated, with benefactors always helping, and they never ask for anything in return.

For example, tonight, Zhongxia drove this car out. Although it wasn't explicitly given to Zhongxia, it was basically allowed to drive it for her the whole time.

This is better than giving it to them directly.

Previously, you had to pay for insurance and deal with traffic violations yourself, but now you don't have to do any of that; you just need to fill up the gas tank.

So even if Zhongxia still has to make money for Teacher Zhang in the future, compared to the usual exploitative bosses, Master Zhongxia is really too good to her, so good... Bai Xiaoxiao is also very envious.

She even thought that if she had a master like that, she would really sleep with him if he needed to. However, Master Zhongxia did not show this. He treated Zhongxia with the same care and tenderness as he would his own eldest daughter.

When Zhongxia got his driver's license, he was too afraid to drive, so he taught him himself.

You have to understand that he is a superstar and a top music master. Just the fact that he sits in the passenger seat elevates the status of the establishment.

The city was quiet at night, but there were still many vehicles on the road.

Zhongxia drove very carefully and very slowly. As a result, the cars behind her honked their horns frantically to urge her on. However, she still didn't dare to drive too fast, but she was very anxious, and even sweat was seeping from her forehead.

Bai Xiaoxiao planned to buy two novice driver reminder signs online and stick them on the back of the car. That should make things much better. The half-hour journey took Zhongxia almost an hour.

After getting off the bus.

Her back was completely soaked.

"Those who can drive seem really amazing."

Zhongxia wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with lingering fear, "Why didn't you help me open it just now?!"

"Your master told you to drive it."

Bai Xiaoxiao replied.

Bai Xiaoxiao knew that Teacher Zhang was trying to push Zhongxia, because people are sometimes like that. When faced with difficulties, they will subconsciously choose to retreat if they have a way to avoid them. But when there is no way out, no matter how scared they are, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Rainwater dripped into the room through the gaps in the tiles.

Whenever this happened, her parents would find basins to catch the rainwater. Year after year, whenever it rained, there would always be many basins on the floor of her house.

Until one rainy day when she entered junior high school.

The basins on the ground were soon filled with raindrops, and even the area around the bed started to leak. On that very day, her father braved the heavy rain and called over a few uncles from the village to repair the roof.
