Chapter 2, Five Older Sisters and One Younger Brother

"Uh?"

"Apple Scent?"

"What kind of weird song is this?!"

Zhang Xian was completely bewildered. The smell of apples?
Don't oranges and pineapples taste good anymore?

Ding!
The song "Apple Fragrance" has completed copyright registration in this space.

Copyright information can be found on the "China Copyright Network".

At this moment, the system notification sounded again.

Zhang Xian was slightly taken aback. Was it really that efficient?

He quickly opened a mobile app called "China Copyright".

This is a mobile app operated by China Copyright Network, where you can find copyright information for literary and artistic works, science and technology, and more.

Zhang Xian inherited some of his father's artistic talent. He registered his own account on the China Copyright Network when he was in high school and uploaded two original songs.

Unfortunately, those two songs are still completely ignored!
And now he has another song under his name called "Apple Fragrance".

Hey!
That's really efficient!
Zhang Xian sighed, then looked at the lyrics of the song.

Red-billed geese fly back to the reeds, swaying in the wind.
Sawultai across the river
Are you here today?

That year I arrived at the watering station.
Your white felt tent

After reading the lyrics, Zhang Xian was somewhat disappointed.

There doesn't seem to be anything particularly outstanding about it. The main reason is that the background of this song is a minority area, which doesn't resonate with Zhang Xian.

For example, the chorus.

The sound of... from Six Star Street

Does it sound like a bayan?

Alex Sandra's Bakery
Has the rye bread been baked yet?
What is a bayan?
Zhang Xian had no idea.

I think I've tried rye bread before, but it wasn't very tasty!
However, this kind of folk song is quite suitable for my dad.

Zhang Dongshan, the father, started out as a folk singer, but the folk song track was not profitable. Later, he squeezed into the pop singer track, but unfortunately, his skills were limited and he did not encounter any outstanding works, so he never became popular.

From a nobody singer to a veteran nobody singer!
Hmm, let Dad give it a try!

Zhang Xian made up his mind and then focused his attention on the fishing float floating on the water.

half an hour.

One hour.
The water was still, completely unresponsive.

Zhang Xian yawned, then took out his phone and started playing games.

In the evening.

Zhang Xian, an air force pilot, put away his fishing rod and left the riverbank, cursing under his breath.

Instead of going straight home, he went to a nearby seafood market and bought a large carp.

Then he rode his electric scooter back home.

"Xiaoxian, you're back!"

How did the interview go?

Grandpa Liu next door is still sitting at the door like an NPC.

"what?"

How many pounds does this fish weigh?

"It must weigh six or seven pounds!"

Zhang Xian picked up the large carp he had bought and shook it.

"Ouch!"

"It's so big!"

Looking at the lively, wriggling carp, Grandpa Liu couldn't help but sigh.

"gone!"

"We're having fish tonight!"

Zhang Xian rode his electric scooter quickly into his own courtyard.

Coming to his senses, Liu Fusheng shook his head: "This kid, the interview is just over like that!"

Home.

"Xiaoxian, you're back."

Wow, what a huge fish!

Seeing Zhang Xian ride his electric scooter into the yard, Zhang Zhaodi immediately ran out of the house and took the plastic bag containing the large carp from Zhang Xian's hand.

"Braised carp for dinner!"

After parking his electric scooter, Zhang Xian stretched.

Who says fishing isn't tiring?
Fishing is a sedentary activity, isn't it?
"Xiaoxian, can we not eat it?"

"This fish is still alive, shall we keep it?"

Upon hearing that Zhang Xian was going to eat the big carp in the plastic bag, Zhang Zhaodi immediately pouted.

"I agree. Ask Lao Zhang if he agrees."

"Okay!" Zhang Zhaodi immediately took the big carp to the kitchen.

Zhang Dongshan was preparing dinner at that moment. His wife had died early, so he had to be both a father and a mother to his wife, and his cooking skills had become quite good.

"Dad, can we not eat the fish that Xiaoxian caught?"

Zhang Zhaodi shook the large carp in the plastic bag and asked expectantly.

"This kid actually caught a fish?"

Zhang Dongshan looked at the plastic bag in disbelief, examined the fish inside, and shook his head, saying, "They won't survive; they're almost dead!"

"Besides, we don't even have a fish tank that big at home!"

Zhang Zhaodi sighed in disappointment: "But fish are so cute, I'm not going to eat them!"

after an hour.

The family of three sat around the dining table.

Braised carp is the main dish tonight, placed in the very center.

Zhang Zhaodi had long forgotten the vow she made an hour ago. She ate heartily, her lips smeared with sauce.

"Mmm~ It smells so good!"

"This is too delicious!"

"Xiaoxian, will you be able to catch any fish tomorrow?"

After taking another big bite of fish, Zhang Zhaodi turned to look at Zhang Xian.

"It depends on luck."

"Who knows!"

Zhang Xian shrugged slightly.

"All you do is fish all day, aren't you going to look for a job?"

Zhang Dongshan scolded with a dark face: "A man should prioritize his career. What kind of person are you, lounging around all day!"

"If I don't even have a job, how am I supposed to find a girlfriend or a wife?!"

"Isn't it because the overall environment is bad?"

"There are layoffs everywhere, and jobs are not so easy to find."

Zhang Xian chewed on the fish while giving a perfunctory reply.

"You can't say you don't work hard just because you don't work hard yourself."

"Don't blame the overall environment."

Zhang Dongshan curled his lip: "Don't even think about lying at home and sponging off your parents!"

"Look at your four older sisters, aren't they all better than you!"

Besides his third sister Zhang Zhaodi, Zhang Xian has four other older sisters.

The eldest sister, Zhang Xinan, is currently married and works as a police officer.

The second sister, Zhang Shengnan, has a boyfriend who is a minor actress and is currently filming in Hengdian.

The fourth sister, Zhang Laidi, is currently single and works as an intern lawyer, and is very busy with work every day.

Fifth sister Zhang Pandi is currently single, a graduate student, and lives on campus during the week, only returning home occasionally on weekends.

Compared to his sisters, Zhang Xian, who graduated from a second-rate university and is currently unemployed, is really a bit of a waste, so it's no wonder his father doesn't like him.

But Zhang Xian also knew that his father was just saying that. You could tell from the names of his five older sisters that Old Zhang was extremely sexist!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked her life to have children!
Therefore, Zhang Xian's father doted on him from childhood to adulthood.

The child who is favored is often the least successful of all the children.

Zhang Xian almost proved this age-old "truth".

Fortunately, he activated the system.

He became a man with cheat codes.

"Dad, you don't think I stay up so late every day because I'm playing video games, do you?"

"What else can we do?"

"Creation!!"

Zhang Xian declared with righteous indignation: "I also inherited your artistic genes, pfft, cells!"

"Since finding a job is a bit difficult, why not take another approach and pick up songwriting again? After working day and night, I finally created a song that is very suitable for you."

"You've been doing live streams lately, right? Why don't you sing a few songs in the live stream and see how it goes?"

"A song you wrote?"

"Suitable for me??"

Zhang Dongshan practically peeked his lips to his ears: "Do you know what song suits me?"

Whether it suits you or not, you can see for yourself!

"If you don't sing, I'll sell it to someone else."

Actually, Zhang Xian wasn't sure either, because he couldn't see what was so good about the song "Apple Fragrance".

But since it's a song awarded by the system, there's probably some reason behind it.

"Okay, send it to me."

Zhang Dongshan didn't want to dampen his son's enthusiasm, so he casually waved his hand.
