My wife is in my arms

Chapter 979 Concert Eleven
Jiang Yiren wasn't sure if her husband wanted Li Ran to go on stage.

Judging from her husband's reaction when he took out the erhu, Jiang Yiren guessed that Mr. Zhang probably had this idea: since he had accepted it and taught it for a while, it would be fine if there were no concerts, but since there were going to be concerts, he might as well take it out to practice.

Even the most gifted person needs to go through a process of training in order to achieve something great and to fully understand and apply what they have learned.

Two months ago, her husband took Zhongxia to the recording site of the second season of "Special Voice" with this idea in mind.

The stage seems like a very simple place.

But once you actually get on that platform, you'll realize just how much pressure you'll be under.

All eyes were drawn to her. People with low tolerance for such attention might underperform, but after a while, they would get used to it. Jiang Yiren hadn't thought her daughter would enter the entertainment industry in the future, but since the girl had such a strong desire to perform, Jiang Yiren thought it was worth a try.

Moreover, once on stage, one can wear a veil to cover their face.

That way, even if so many people see it, it won't matter.

Anyway.

If her husband hadn't let their child go on stage, that would have been fine. But if he had, as a mother, Jiang Yiren would definitely have preferred her daughter.

After all, no matter how bad this girl's singing is, how bad her studies are, or how much musical talent she has over Li Ran, she was still the one Li Ran carried for ten months and gave birth to.

It wasn't brought here.

"mom"

Xiao Shan, who had been leaning against her father, immediately went to her mother's side, took her hand, and then said with a smile, "From now on, I'll stay with you."

Don't say things like that.

Jiang Yiren laughed and said, "The more you talk, the more it highlights your traitorous nature."

Hearing her master's wife's words, Li Ran's eyes darkened as she adjusted her chair. Zhang You reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Go ahead and play. Your master decides this. Whether you get to play or not depends on you."

"kindness"

Li Ran nodded slightly.

"Start"

Zhang You picked up his erhu and shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the prelude to "The Street Where the Wind Dwells" began to play. Li Ran didn't look at the sheet music and played very seriously. Zhang You couldn't help but laugh. This girl wanted to prove her ability.

Despite his young age, he is quite competitive.

It's good, at least I didn't hear her shake her head in fright when asked to go on stage. Of course... this might be because she's still young, but I guess she might not be like that when she gets older.

As we grow older and experience more, our minds gradually mature, and we lose the confidence and optimism we had as children.

Just like that girl Zhongxia, last time Zhang You took her to the "Special Voice" dressing room, she was so nervous that she didn't dare to say a word, and her body was tense the whole time.

This is a typical example of a lack of self-confidence. However, as you go on stage more often, as long as you are not so scared that you never dare to go on stage again, you will overcome this psychological barrier after a few times.

When people have a choice, they will choose to avoid things they don't want to face.

Once you have no other choice, you have to grit your teeth and have a baby even if you don't want to.

Like many jobs, some people think that those who work so hard for such little pay are fools. But if you put yourself in their shoes, you'll find that when life really crushes you, it doesn't leave you with any choice.

Although things aren't going well, at least we can manage to stay afloat.

If we don't do it, we simply can't survive.

Everyone understands the principles, but life is an irrational thing.

"mom"

Xiao Zishan shook her mother's hand.

Jiang Yiren remained silent. She watched her husband and his young apprentice Li Ran working together. Li Ran continued to play "The Street Where the Wind Dwells" as usual, but her husband's erhu playing blended in quite skillfully.

The erhu's mournful sound gradually builds in volume, perfectly complementing each other, like whispered sweet nothings between lovers, then, as the sound progresses, it resembles two butterflies chasing each other. The piece ends.

Jiang Yiren smiled and clapped.

"Li Ran, you and your master work together very well."

Jiang Yiren praised.

"Practice this more these next few days."

Zhang You also said with a smile.

Compared to his eldest apprentice, Zhongxia, Zhang You was more satisfied with this youngest apprentice. Judging from Li Ran's progress, he estimated that he wouldn't need to train her for many years. After a few more years, this girl would be able to hold concerts with the pieces composed by her master.

"dad"

Xiao Zishan called out, "What about me!?"

"Next time"

Zhang You replied casually.

Even though Xiaoshan is his daughter, some things can't be forced. Talent is a simple thing to talk about, but it's something that not every child can possess.

Li Ran played "The Street Where the Wind Dwells" without any problem, and Xiao Zishan could play it even if she fell over, but there were still some minor issues. Zhang You didn't really treat this concert as a performance opportunity; he just wanted to fulfill the wish of a female fan named Tang Nian and incidentally let Li Ran go on stage to experience it.

We'll talk about the rest later.

While he might have thought so, Xiao Zishan wasn't happy. The girl chased after her father, saying, "Brother Ayou, I'm your own daughter!"

"Go to sleep now."

Zhang You urged her on, then asked Li Ran, "Do you remember what Master said?!"

"remember"

Li Ran nodded obediently and said, "Practice more at home these next few days."

"very good"

Zhang You entered the second bedroom.

"dad"

Xiao Zishan called out again, but when she heard her father ignore her, she stomped her feet in anger. Jiang Yiren patted her head and said, "Go to sleep with Li Ran. I'll talk to your dad."

As she spoke, Jiang Yiren followed her husband into the second bedroom. Zhang You laughed and said, "This isn't something you can persuade her to do. Xiao Shan's skill level is simply not up to par. If she had practiced for another two or three years, I wouldn't mind letting her perform on stage. For now, let's just forget about it."

"But she's your daughter."

Jiang Yiren lay down next to her husband and said, "You let Li Ran go on stage but not her... Mr. Zhang, you know how passionate your daughter is about the stage. If you treat everyone equally, your daughter won't have anything to say. But since you let Li Ran go on stage but not her, she must be feeling really bad!"

"She has a better mindset than you."

Zhang You replied.

"That was a mindset before the stage was involved; this is a performance on stage!"

Jiang Yiren earnestly reminded her, "Besides... you don't want your daughter and Li Ran to develop a grudge, do you? Your little apprentice has lived in our house for so long, and your daughter has never said a single word like 'This is my house, not yours.' She even shared the wardrobe with your little apprentice. Do you think other people's children would say or do the same? So, Mr. Zhang, your daughter may not care about some things, but she does care about others..."

As they talked, even Jiang Yiren felt a little awkward.

Exam scores are not important.

I don't care how well I play the piano.

He shared half of his wardrobe with Li Ran without the slightest reluctance, yet he was so concerned about going on stage... In the entertainment industry, this is considered a desperate desire for fame.
