Liu Zhi rode Yuan Shanmei to the Chilan Brigade to look for the old opera singer. Shanmei is now six years old, which is a bit late from the perspective of enlightenment, and she needs to catch up as soon as possible.
Not long after he rode out, he was stopped by Yang Lan, who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Liu Zhi, are you going to town? Bring me some candies and pastries." Yang Lan's eyes were filled with calculations.
"I'm busy. If you want to buy it, let Yuan Chengxu buy it by himself. It's him getting married, not me!" Liu Zhi turned the car around, but was still held back by Yang Lan.
"Are you going to rebel? When I asked you for money recently, you refused to give it. When I asked you to help with such a big matter at home, you didn't help at all! Don't forget that you are still the daughter-in-law of our old Yuan family!"
< br>
Liu Zhi was helpless. She really wanted to tell the captain, you see, it's not that she wants to cause trouble, it's that things come to her every time, and she doesn't want to either...
"You don't have to think of me as Lao Yuan's wife." Liu Zhi said calmly.
Yang Lan howled instantly, "Okay Liu Zhi, the fox tail is showing. They all said that you were in love with those educated youths. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems... hmph, it's really true." I tell you, I don’t agree! You can’t marry another dog without my permission!”
Liu Zhi was in a hurry and promised the captain to keep the peace, so she didn't intend to get entangled with Yang Lan anymore, so she kicked Yang Lan with 60% of her strength. She was knocked to the ground by a strong force.
Liu Zhi quickly got into the car and left in a hurry.
Yang Lan:......
But there was no one around now, and she didn't know who to complain to.
Yuan Shanmei in the back seat of the car also looked shocked. Did Aunt Liu Zhi hit someone just now?
She hesitated for a long time, but she pointed it out without fear of death, "Aunt Liu Zhi... the teacher said you can't hit people. Those who hit people are bad children."
Liu Zhi smiled, this child's outlook on life is a bit too upright, but too rigid.
"Then let me ask you, if you were a soldier, after going to the battlefield, would you hit others first, or would you wait for others to hit you?"
"Soldiers have to fight because there is a war. The situation is different!"
Yo, you still know not to jump into my logic trap? Liu Zhi admired in her heart that her mother was still a bit smart.
"Comrade Lei Feng said that we must treat the enemy as ruthlessly as the harsh winter. There is also a saying that analyzes specific problems in detail. What should we do if we blindly follow this sentence and cause ourselves to be hurt?"
< br>
Yuan Shanmei stopped talking. Anyway, she couldn't defeat Aunt Liu Zhi every time.
"Shanmei, kindness is a good thing, but you don't need to be kind to everyone. It will only encourage their arrogance." Liu Zhi said earnestly.
Yuan Shanmei nodded, "Then when can you hit someone and when can't you hit someone?"
"Just follow me. When I hit someone, you can hit them too."
Yuan Shanmei: Although I don’t understand it, I think it makes sense.
The car rode into the Chilan Brigade, and Liu Zhi decided to go to Xu Honghua's house to inquire.
Seeing Liu Zhi, Xu Honghua was very happy, "Hey, sister, are you here? I just thought I would come see you when I have time! My old man keeps a peach tree on the mountain, and it has grown fruits now, which is so sweet. , you take a few home.”
Liu Zhi refused to take it, so the two pushed and pushed for a long time, and finally had to give in, "Okay, okay, thank you first! I'll take some home later!"
Xu Honghua smiled and patted Liu Zhi's arm, "It would be better if you agreed earlier. Girl, your hands are really strong."
Liu Zhi was embarrassed.
After a while, Liu Zhi got to the point, "Sister Xu, do you know that your production team has a mother-in-law who used to sing in operas?"
Sister Xu immediately became vigilant, "Why are you asking this?"
Although the limelight seems to be less popular now than in previous years, opera singers can only perform model operas. If they sing Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, no one will report it. If they are reported, it will be Shi Shang. The problem is that the gang is online.
Liu Zhi pulled Xu Honghua aside and said, "This little girl of mine likes to sing. I think I can't find a music teacher for the time being. I'll first find a drama singing teacher to learn the basic skills. I'll pay the tuition."
< br>
Xu Honghua looked at Liu Zhi seriously, making sure she didn't see the element of joking in her eyes, and then said, "I'm telling you because I believe you. Don't do those double-dealing things."
< br>
Liu Zhi assured her, "Don't worry, sister, I sincerely want to find a teacher. Besides, if I don't drag myself into it by saying it, I'm not that stupid."
Xu Honghua nodded.
"The person you are looking for should be my mother-in-law."
Liu Zhi was overjoyed and sighed again. The luck bonus was probably her golden finger. It seemed that she could achieve her goals without any difficulty. She jumped up happily, "That's great! Is your mother-in-law at home? I'm going to visit." Xu Honghua pulled her and said, "Don't worry, I want to explain the old lady's situation to you first. In the past few years, she suffered After a little stimulation, she decided to seal the box and never act again. She used to be a famous actor in the area and had a very bad temper. Once she decided, no one could make the decision, so it was up to her to accept it. "< br>
Liu Zhi nodded, as an artist, it's normal to be a little anxious.
"Okay, if she doesn't want to, then I won't force it. However, this girl of mine is really talented, and I believe the old lady will like her."
Xu Honghua led Liu Zhi and Yuan Shanmei into the innermost room. The windows in the room were not open and it seemed a little dark. There was a smell of wormwood in the air, which made people feel at ease inexplicably.
Walking inside, Liu Zhi found the old lady sitting at a table, with a string of beads in her hand and her eyes closed to meditate.
"Old lady - someone is here to see you." Xu Honghua approached the old lady and mentioned Liu Zhi's intention to come, but she refused without even raising her eyebrows, "I have been sealing the box for so many years, I have long forgotten Nothing to teach.”
Xu Honghua wanted to fight for a few more words, but the old lady still looked like that. No matter how windy the east, west, north, or south, I remained unmoved.
Xu Honghua shook her head, walked over and whispered to Liu Zhi, "I can't help it, I'm just so stubborn."
Liu Zhi mentally assessed the old lady's character and temper, and had a bold idea in her mind.
"I will act in a play later. If the old lady is really angry, please help me persuade her."
Xu Honghua didn't know what was going on, but she had no choice but to agree.
Liu Zhi then walked up to the old lady and spoke at the top of her voice, "Thanks to people outside saying that there is an old artist here who is a great singer. I think she is nothing more than that. She is just an old lady with unfamiliar skills who does not live up to her name. I'm bragging too much. Originally, I wanted my child to learn from a teacher, but now, even if I give you money, I can't let my child stay here. Isn't this a mistake?"
Tsk, no one in this family dares to speak to the old lady like that.
Sure enough, she opened her eyes quickly and looked carefully at the young man who had spoken rudely in front of her. The beads in her hand stopped spinning instantly, "Are you using provocation?"
Liu Zhi did not feel embarrassed after her plan was exposed. Instead, she looked back at her and said, "If I say yes, old lady, are you willing to change your mind?"
"You are brave." The old lady reached out and called Yuan Shanmei to her. "You can accept it, but I have to check your qualifications first. I won't teach those who are too stupid."
Liu Zhi was very relieved about this. She squatted down and touched Yuan Shanmei's hair, "Come on, sing a song to this grandma."
This was the first time Yuan Shanmei sang in front of adults other than Liu Zhi. She was so nervous that her whole body started to tremble, "What song are you singing?"
"How about singing "Red Lantern"?"
Yuan Shanmei learned this song from listening to the adults around her. She had never sung it in full. Looking at Aunt Liu Zhi's expectant eyes, she cleared her throat and started to find the tune, "My cousins - countless ! Don’t come if there is no big deal! ”
After listening to only two sentences, the old lady hurriedly interrupted, "The breath is not steady enough, the breath is not in the right place, and the enunciation is not clear enough. These are very serious problems. However, the little girl's voice is indeed good and can be cultivated. ”
Liu Zhi and Xu Honghua looked at each other and were overjoyed, "Really? Are you willing to accept her?"
"Let me explain in advance that I am very strict. Those who can't bear the hardship can leave now."
"You don't have to worry about that. The worst thing this child can endure is suffering." Liu Zhi rushed to answer.
She made an appointment with the old lady, and Yuan Shanmei came to her home three times a week to start with some basic singing skills. Liu Zhi was very grateful and discussed the tuition fees with Xu Honghua after she came out.
Xu Honghua was not willing to accept it, "It's your own credit for being able to persuade the old lady to take up a disciple. It's not easy for her to meet someone she likes. It's good that she's happy."
"How can that be done? If this happens, I won't dare to come here next time!" Liu Zhi took out the 20 yuan he had prepared from his pocket, "Let's do this. According to the wage level in the city, an ordinary worker will pay about 20 yuan a month. Because we don’t come every day, I give you 10 yuan a month. Is this acceptable?”
In the end, the two reached a consensus on tuition fees of 10 yuan a month.
A big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. Liu Zhi was very happy. After saying goodbye to Xu Honghua, she hugged Yuan Shanmei and sat in the back seat, humming a song that Yuan Shanmei had never heard.
Seeing that the little girl behind her didn't seem that excited, Liu Zhi comforted her, "I'm looking for a teacher for you just because I want you to be able to do what you like, but I don't have any special expectations for you. From now on, you will be a singer." Whether you are at home or an ordinary worker, as long as you are happy, I will not stop you!”
The little girl nodded solemnly and rested her head on Liu Zhi's lower back, "I know, thank you Aunt Liu Zhi! I am also very happy to be able to learn singing, and I will definitely learn it hard!"
"Then sing another song and I'll listen." Liu Zhi teased her.
Yuan Shanmei lost her previous shyness and sang openly, "Let us swing the oars~~The boat pushes away the waves~~~"
Not to mention, riding a bike is even more exciting!
