Entertaining Children

Chapter 8 You Need Proof

Since Xiao Yao has such great ambitions in music, Xiao Siqi is not in a hurry to simply teach Xiao Yao the method and technique of playing a certain instrument, but to start with the most basic knowledge of music theory and give Xiao Yao systematic music. enlightenment teaching. For Xiao Yao today, learning those theoretical knowledge purely by rote memorization, his learning ability is much worse than that of a teenager, let alone a teenager.

As for music, the knowledge of music theory is only a very basic thing, but to make achievements, the most important thing is to rely on feeling. And this feeling, on the one hand, depends on talent, on the other hand, it depends on a lot of training. So after just three days of learning theoretical knowledge, Xiao Yao entered a large number of solfeggio and ear training exercises.

From the perspective of Xiao Siqi's professional music producer, although the timbre of Xiao Yao's voice can't be regarded as a talented voice, it can be regarded as an upper-middle class. If you can continue to practice from now on, broaden your vocal range, and at the same time, if there are no catastrophic events during the voice change period, you are very hopeful to enter the ranks of top-notch singers in the future. In the future, it will definitely occupy a position that cannot be ignored in the music world. Of course, the premise is that Xiao Yao's enthusiasm for music is not a three-minute enthusiasm, and he will devote all his energy to it until he grows up.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems unlikely. Because although Xiao Yao is currently showing great interest in music and a high enthusiasm for learning, he has not let go of the calligraphy he learned from Xiao Chengru and the boxing techniques taught by Liu Zhongwen. Keep a certain amount of time every day to practice both. Fortunately, Xiao Yao asked Xiao Siqi to buy a set of desks and chairs and the Four Treasures of the Study in his room the second day after he moved back. If Xiao Siqi mentions it after Xiao Yao has felt Xiao Yao's learning ability and talent, maybe Xiao Siqi will find ways to refuse his request that would take up time to learn music with him. As for practicing boxing, Xiao Siqi didn't mind much. On the one hand, there is no need to buy anything. The space in Chen Zilin's gym is enough for him to punch and kick. On the other hand, Xiao Siqi feels that exercising is very necessary. No matter what you do, you need a good body. Exercise can also be exercised breath. What's more, he needs to rest in the middle of learning music. It is also a good thing to let him combine brain and exercise.

Of course, even if Xiao Siqi does not want Xiao Yao to practice calligraphy to take up the time of studying music from the bottom of his heart, he can't stop it. First of all, although it is an adult to a child, Xiao Siqi has never thought about violently demanding or preventing Xiao Yao from doing something through his superiority in physical strength. The son of this monster.

As the two get along longer and longer, Xiao Siqi feels that the two of them get along less and less like a father and son, but more and more like a relationship between peers. There's no way, Xiao Siqi's abilities are a bit low except for music.

One day, on a whim, Xiao Siqi ran to the supermarket to buy a bunch of ingredients to cook for Xiao Yao. Although I don't know if he wanted to use this as an opportunity to persuade Xiao Yao to give up calligraphy and concentrate on music, but the result was terrible. The few dishes that came out were not only unpalatable, but also almost ruined the kitchen. When cooking a dish, because the oil was poured into the pot, I remembered that a certain ingredient had not been processed, and I went to process the ingredients without turning off the fire. It got oily. In desperation, Xiao Siqi planned to put out the fire with water. Fortunately, Xiao Yao, who heard the movement and rushed to the door of the kitchen, yelled to stop it in time, and reminded him to turn off the fire and cover the pot, thus avoiding a disaster. Of course, in Xiao Yao's eyes, this meal was already a disaster. In the end, it was Xiao Yao who had the foresight to call and order takeaway, which avoided the embarrassment of the father and son being hungry at noon that day.

After this incident, Xiao Yao also began to notice his father's serious lack of living ability. It began to gradually take over the lives of the two.

Xiao Yao did the capable work of cleaning the house by himself, and replenishing daily necessities, paying utility bills on time to avoid the embarrassment of water and electricity cutoffs, which he was temporarily unable to do, he always kept in mind so as to remind him in time that it was unreliable dad.

Originally, it was Lao Tzu who took care of his son, but now it is his son telling Lao Tzu everything. Embarrassed, Xiao Siqi didn't speak so forcefully in front of his son. And as his son grows up day by day and is able to do more and more things, Xiao Siqi feels that his authority as Lao Tzu is gradually weakening day by day. For this, he didn't know whether to be proud of his son or sad for himself.

The days passed little by little amid the quiet changes in the authority of father and son. Unknowingly, Xiao Yao spent his fourth birthday. He has grown taller and stronger, and his abilities in boxing, calligraphy, and music have also improved a lot. Just when Xiao Yao felt a little bored with the step-by-step life every day, the arrival of a person brought new changes to Xiao Yao's life.

Xu Ting is a capable but not overbearing manager. When Xiao Siqi first entered the industry five years ago, Xu Ting became his manager. After five years of getting along, Xu Ting has a good understanding of Xiao Siqi's character. She was quite tolerant and pampering of this big boy. Even though she knew that Xiao Siqi was having a great time with her son now, but the contract was a contract after all, and she had to abide by it, so she had no choice but to come and pull Xiao Siqi out of the days when he was reluctant to leave.

"Siqi, you agreed to sign the five-year three-album contract. Although the performance of the first two albums was not satisfactory, China Entertainment still hopes that you can give the last album to me before the end of the year. Do it. Speaking of which, they are quite interesting, after experiencing the previous two unsuccessful attempts, they still have confidence in you and want to make another gamble with you."

At this time, Xu Ting was sitting on the sofa in the living room of Xiao Siqi's house, having a serious conversation with Xiao Siqi. It turned out that right after Xiao Siqi's first album became popular, China Entertainment Records signed another record contract with Xiao Siqi for three albums in five years. Now that five years are approaching, Xiao Siqi's fourth solo album, the third album stipulated by the contract, has not been seen yet. Some anxious record companies could only start looking for Xu Ting, the manager, to put pressure on them.

Xiao Siqi smiled wryly and said, "I know, I also wanted to turn around before." As he said that, Xiao Siqi's mood sank, "Half a year ago I took my wife and children to travel to the south to collect music, just to write songs for the album Inspiration. Unexpectedly, an accident happened when I came back, and Zilin also passed away in an accident. Since then, I have lost interest in the new album."

The conversation between the two did not deliberately distract Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao, who was sitting quietly listening to the conversation between the two, also knew the original cause before the car accident. No wonder Xiao Siqi blamed himself so much at the time. It turned out that the trip was to find inspiration for Xiao Siqi to write songs for his new album. Xiao Yao had wondered before that it was not a holiday, how could two people with regular jobs think of traveling by car with the whole family.

"Then you mean that the last album in the contract will not be released, and you plan to lose money to the record company?" Xu Ting looked at Xiao Siqi helplessly and said. Xu Ting knew that she couldn't persuade this stubborn boy.

Xiao Siqi was about to nod, but Xiao Yao, who was sitting on the side, interjected: "Dad, I think it's just for Mom, you should make this album even more."

Xu Ting and Xiao Siqi looked at the child who had no sense of presence in the conversation between the two at the same time. Xu Ting was surprised. Of course she knew Xiao Siqi's son, but this was the first time she saw Xiao Yao who was reborn after the car accident, and the first time she heard his age-inappropriate language. Xiao Siqi has long been used to his son's speech beyond his age, but he is a little puzzled by what he said.

Xiao Yao ignored Xu Ting's surprised gaze, just looked at Xiao Siqi and said seriously: "Do you think this album caused you to lose your mother? If you don't make an album, it means you love her, care about her, and can't forget her? You Do you think that if you do this, everyone will think you are affectionate and righteous? I think you are selfish, hypocritical, and even cowardly."

After hearing this, Xiao Siqi showed an angry look at Xiao Yao for the first time on his face, and said angrily, "What did you say?!"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yao met Xiao Siqi's angry eyes without fear, "You only care about your own feelings, have you thought about it from the mother's perspective? Why did she put down work and take me and you Go on a trip and accompany you to collect music and find inspiration? What is her wish? Don’t you just hope that you will make this album well and make a comeback? How about you, only care about your own feelings, have you considered her wish? What is this not selfish?"

Xiao Siqi's eyes were red and he didn't speak, Xiao Yao had already continued: "It's true that Mom went out with you to prepare a new album for you, but the car accident was just an accident, no one expected it, and it wasn't your responsibility. As for being so hypocritical Is it? Or is it that you have no confidence in yourself and are afraid that this album will hit the market again, so you are cowardly and don't even have the courage to make it?"

Xiao Yao exhaled, and said to Xiao Siqi seriously: "Xiao Siqi! He is a man, so he should make this album well and let the world know that Chen Zilin has good eyesight. It makes sense for her to look at you and follow you. Everything that Chen Zilin has done for you is worth it!"

Xu Ting was completely shocked by Xiao Yao. Is this the son talking to Lao Tzu? Did you get the wrong script? Xiao Siqi's eyes were red, his body was trembling slightly, but he was surprisingly silent. After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he looked calm and breezy. Xu Ting watched, even worried that Xiao Siqi would get violent and beat Xiao Yao up, and she was secretly on guard, planning how she would stop Xiao Siqi if Xiao Siqi really broke out.

After a stalemate like this for a long time, when Xu Ting uneasily moved her somewhat stiff body slightly in this oppressive atmosphere, Xiao Siqi breathed out lightly, her tense whole body relaxed, and gently spoke to her. Xu Ting said: "Sister Xu, please reply to the record company. I will finish this album on time."

Xiao Siqi turned his head and said to Xiao Yao with a smile: "In the future, your study time will be greatly reduced, so you are satisfied now."

Is this all right? Xu Ting looked at Xiao Yao who had successfully changed Xiao Siqi's mind in disbelief for a while, then turned to Xiao Siqi and said, "Siqi, your son is not easy."

"That's it," Xiao Siqi smiled, "My son is a genius."

Xu Ting was about to tease this father who was not humble at all, but unexpectedly, Xiao Siqi almost burst out laughing at the next sentence.

"I think he's more mature than me. Don't be too surprised if you hear me call him brother Yao one day. Don't laugh, I think, there will be a day sooner or later."
