Chapter 402 Interest
After dinner, the family got on the tractor and went home.
Zhou Ying and Zhou Zhou talked about the school's New Year's Day cultural performance.
Zhou Ying: "I have to dance when I go on stage, and I have to practice dance every day after school. Does your school have any performances?"
Zhou Zhou: "We do too, and I also want to dance. Some people in our class dance, some sing, and some perform shows.”
"Your class has so many programs? Our class only has dance!"
Li Xiuxian: "Zhou Zhou's school is a primary school in the village. There are only one or two classes in each grade, and the whole school only has about ten classes. If they don't prepare a few more programs for each class, the art performance will be over in a while. What's the point?"
Zhou Zhou didn't say anything after hearing this, and she didn't know why.
Jiang Xia turned around and asked the two children: "Do you like dancing, singing, or performing?"
Winter vacation is coming soon, so you can arrange some interest classes for Zhou Zhou. Zhou Zhou seems to be quite good at it. Like music.
When Zhou Ying heard this, she immediately said loudly: "I like dancing."
Zhou Zhou: "I like singing, not dancing."
She was very envious when she saw others dancing on June 1st. But now that she can dance on stage, she finds that it's just that, not fun.
Jiang Xia asked again: "Is there anything else you like? What about painting? What about piano? Do you like it?"
Zhou Zhou: "I like painting, piano, and piano music." Sounds good!”
Jiang's mother gave some piano music tapes to Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia put them next to the cassette recorder and played them several times. Zhou Zhou heard them and thought they sounded good.
Zhou Ying: "What is a piano?"
Zhou Zhou: "A musical instrument, black, big, and the music it plays is very nice! Thumb, thump, thump, thump. Hum..."
Zhou Zhou hummed the melody of "Autumn Whispers".
Jiang Xia is not surprised either. Zhou Zhou has a good memory and she can sing a song after hearing it once.
It’s just that there are probably no singing classes in town right now.
I can only buy more tapes and bring them back to play for Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Ying: "..."
"Dum-dum-dum-deng...what's so good? There are no lyrics."
Zhou Zhou: "I can't sing it. , I will play it to you when I get home, and you will feel good about it once you hear it.”
"Okay!"
Jiang Xia asked Zhou Chenglei: "Do you know if there is a piano teacher in this town?"
Zhou Chenglei hadn't spoken yet, and Li Xiuxian immediately said: "Yes, there is someone Can teach! I heard that an old lady came back from studying abroad and could play piano. She only accepted students this year. I had seen people from the city bring their children to our town to learn from her. I heard that one lesson was very expensive. . But some of her students charge one dollar apiece. Some students charge two yuan per lesson, but it is cheaper for her to accept students from the town. I heard that the two students from the market charge five yuan per lesson!"
Tian Caihua was stunned when she heard this: "Five Yuan? That’s too expensive!”
Li Xiuxian: “No! I don’t know if it’s a matter of food. I saw the parents of the two students in the city driving their children here, so I charged more. .”
Jiang Xia: "Probably not. I guess the price is based on difficulty."
Piano lessons are not cheap in modern times.
Jiang Xia heard an old university professor say that she used to learn piano when she was a child, and she was taught by a professor-level educator for ten yuan an hour. At associate professor level, it costs eight yuan an hour.
Even in modern piano lessons, the price is not cheap. Different levels have different prices, and it depends on whether the teacher is good or not. Different teachers also have different prices, and the gap is huge.
The old lady in town is probably more powerful, otherwise she wouldn’t charge five yuan a class.
Jiang Xia planned to go home and ask Zhou Zhou privately if he wanted to learn.
Li Xiuxian asked Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, do you want to send Zhou Zhou to learn piano?"
Jiang Xia: "Well, it depends on whether Zhou Zhou wants to learn piano."
< br>Li Xiuxian asked Zhou Zhou: "Does Zhou Zhou want to learn piano during the vacation?"
Zhou Zhou shook his head.
It's so expensive, she doesn't want it.
Li Xiuxian smiled and said: "If Zhou Zhou wants to study, he can go to study with his sister! When the holidays come..."
Zhou Chengsen: "Zhou Zhou can live with his sister during the holidays. In town, how about my second uncle send you to learn piano together?”
Li Xiuxian: “…”
She originally planned to send Yingying back to her old house during the winter vacation, so that she could learn from Jiang Xia. English. Zhou Ying immediately said after hearing this: "Okay! Zhou Zhou, go live with me in the town! Let's learn piano and English together!"
Zhou Zhou shook his head: "I only like to listen, not learn."
When Zhou Ying heard this: "Then I won't learn either."
Li Xiuxian: "..."
I am really going to die from my daughter's lack of airflow!
Jiang Xia didn't say anything else and would ask again after the holiday.
Now Zhou Zhou probably doesn’t dare to learn because he heard that a class is expensive.
If Zhou Zhou is interested, Jiang Xia will naturally have a way for her to learn.
*
After the winter solstice, the sun is sunny every day, there is no wind, and it is warm.
Zhou Chengsen and Li Xiuxian came back these two evenings to take the Li family and his son out to sea.
The couple returned to the village after dinner. They went to sea at 5:30 and did not return until about 4:00 the next morning. After selling the fish, they went back to the town to sleep.
They took the morning off these two days to catch up on their sleep before going to work in the afternoon.
I went out to sea at night and caught a lot of fish. After deducting the fuel cost and labor, I made thirty or forty yuan on the first day and seventy or eighty yuan on the second day.
But after just two days and two nights, Li Xiuxian couldn't stand it anymore, and neither could the Li family's father and son.
This day and night are so uncomfortable!
Li Qingmin took the lead and said: "We are already familiar with each other. Ah Sen no longer needs to take us to sea at night. Let's go to sea during the day! We got up at 4:30 in the morning and followed Ah Lei and others to go to sea. I really can't bear to go to sea at night. "I'm too sleepy!"
Li's father also said: "I can't go to sea at night, it's too sleepy." I’m sleepy. There’s so much noise at home during the day that I can’t sleep at all.”
Zhou Chengsen: “Okay, you can go out at night or during the day, just set a time.”
Then the third time. The sky opened, and the father and son finally appeared at the pier on time at 4:30, following Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin out to sea.
Every day after the winter solstice, Zhou Chenglei went out to sea early and returned late every day.
Jiang Xia is also very busy at home.
More than 5,000 kilograms of dried small fish need to be fried, and Jiang Xia also helps pack them every day.
She used to help light the fire, but from morning to night, she smelled too much oily smoke and lost her appetite for food.
She no longer lit the fire, but was responsible for weighing and packaging together with Zhou's mother.
Others work from morning to night, but Jiang Xia works for every hour and takes an hour's rest.
During an hour of rest, Jiang Xia lay in the yard to bask in the sun, take calcium supplements, and listen to Korean audio tapes.
Or work as a translator under the grape trellis, brush up on college entrance examination questions in various subjects, draw fabric patterns, and submit them to the textile factory.
Thanks to countless handwritten newspaper assignments and painting assignments in his life, Jiang Xia is good at painting.
Aunt Fen and He Xinghuan carried a large basin of dried fish here for Mother Zhou to pack.
When the two returned to the next door, Aunt Fen couldn't help but said: "Xiaoxia is so diligent and motivated. I have never seen her go out to play."
There are also many newly married wives in the village, some of whom are diligent. , there are also lazy ones.
The definition of diligence for a new daughter-in-law in the village is: doing housework well: washing, cooking, cleaning, raising chickens, growing vegetables. If she does these things well, she is considered diligent.
It’s not easy to do this well, but no matter how much housework you do, you still have a lot of free time every day to chat with everyone and play cards.
If you are more diligent, you can make money by weaving fish nets and chatting at the same time.
Except for Zhou Guohua's wife, I have never seen someone like Jiang Xia.
He Xinghuan: "How can you make so much money without hard work? The God of Wealth does not take care of lazy people."
"That's right."
The days are busy before New Year's Day. one day.
Happy Winter Solstice!
There is still one chapter left for the night, so friends who haven’t slept yet, don’t wait any longer.
I'm a bit busy today, I haven't finished coding yet.
