Chapter 67: Thousands of Calculations, But I Can't Calculate My Sister's Magical Plan (1/2 Ask for a Monthly Pass)
On Saturday, the makeup photos only started in the afternoon, but Yang Qian and Dai Yuni were not idle in the morning. They went to the recording studio to practice the accompaniment of guitar and electric piano.
Du Xun originally wanted to come, but when he heard that they were not going to record songs, they were just practicing musical instruments, he just stayed at home and slept instead of being a light bulb.
However, practicing together on playing musical instruments is also a big difficulty for Yang Qian and others.
After all, unlike Yang Qian, who has reached the full level of guitar skills, Dai Yuni's piano skills are not yet at a professional level, and she has not played for several years, so she is very rusty.
Fortunately, when Yang Qian was at work these days, Dai Yuni came over to practice by herself, but that was just to get the score of the song right, and the rhythm was still a bit lacking.
At the beginning, Dai Yuni played more and more urgently, and the more urgent she became, the more wrong she became, and she even made mistakes in playing the wrong notes.
"How come you can play so accurately without reading music?"
After a few times, Dai Yuni became a little discouraged, and she was also worried that she would hold Yang Qian back, and she almost wanted to give up playing the piano.
"Don't be too anxious. There is still so much time. Let's go through it sentence by sentence."
Yang Qian held the guitar and sat opposite Dai Yuni and the electric piano, giving her encouragement and comfort with his eyes.
Having learned an instrument systematically, he has no right to dislike others.
Moreover, acting is also practiced.
They say one minute on stage is worth ten years of work.
How can anyone succeed without going through bumps and bruises and even failures?
"I think you can sing along with me now, even in a low voice. Anyway, you can just follow the rhythm of my singing."
Yang Qian's voice calmed Dai Yuni down. She cheered up, looked at the score carefully, and listened to Yang Qian's voice with her ears raised.
"Ignore the intro for now, come on, jump to the main song."
"When you get old..."
Yang Qian's rhythm did not deliberately slow down, he just maintained his standard state, playing the guitar and singing in a very soft voice.
"When you get old..."
Dai Yuni also used a very soft voice and hummed softly along with him.
"Yes, there are two beats that are a little bit faster. Let's do it again."
Yang Qian encouraged her.
Dai Yuni played it accurately in the first try. I don't know if her mentality has improved or if she has found a tacit understanding with Yang Qian.
Anyway, she found that she really liked the feeling of humming along with her eyes. It felt like harmony. You sang and I sang along, and the feeling of the beats slowly blending into one was particularly wonderful.
"...Okay! It's time for you to sing, so you don't need to play this part."
Yang Qian was afraid that Dai Yuni would not be able to take care of both playing and singing at the same time, and would not do well in the last two, so the first thing he discussed with her was that in the second half, Dai Yuni would take off the microphone and stand up to sing, highlighting the scene where the male voice would change to the female voice after singing.
Sense of contrast!
Moreover, the version of this song sung by Dai Yuni is the most infectious. Yang Qian sings in the front, which can be regarded as a foreshadowing for Dai Yuni, and can even be said to be a background board.
But as Dai Yuni and Yang Qian slowly found a tacit understanding, their confidence also increased.
"I want to give it a try and see if I can sing and play at the same time, okay? Let's practice it. If it doesn't work, we can switch back to the original plan."
Dai Yuni and Yang Qian begged.
"OK!"
Yang Qian has no objection. It is definitely a good thing that she is willing to challenge difficulties.
Moreover, it would be more coordinated if two people sit together and perform together. Later, if Dai Yuni stands up alone, it will be quite abrupt.
"Then you also harmonize with me. Either harmonize, or accompany me to find the beat, just like you did just now."
Dai Yuni happily laughed with Yang Qian.
"OK!"
Yang Qian's responses were very clean and crisp.
…
With Yang Qian accompanying and giving guidance, Dai Yuni made rapid progress!
Slowly, the two of them sang the song "When You Get Old" together.
By noon, according to Yang Qian's picky ears, Dai Yuni could actually play without any problems in details, and at the same time she could still maintain a good singing condition.
This is very rare!
However, no matter how much fun you practice, you still have to eat lunch.
"If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even feel hungry. Come on, come on, what delicious food will you take me to eat today?"
Dai Yuni put her hands on Yang Qian's shoulders, moved her long legs in the air, and stepped onto the electric bike Yang Qian was riding in a handsome manner.
"There is a good sheep porridge shop nearby. I'll take you to try it."
Yang Qian handed her the helmet.
These days, only veteran cadre Yang obeys traffic rules like this!
There are a lot of people riding electric bikes on the street without helmets, let alone those sitting behind them.
"Sheep porridge? Does it sell Yangzhou fried rice?"
Dai Yuni didn't understand.
"It's not the Yangzhou porridge, it's porridge made from mutton and mutton bones! And it uses our local free-range black goats, and it tastes very good."
Yang Qian was stunned for a moment before reacting in a dumbfounded way.
It tastes really good,
Such a large shop only sells two things, mutton and mutton porridge, and the fried dough sticks are bought by the boss from outside and resold to customers.
However, there was still an endless stream of diners. After tasting it, Dai Yuni's eyes lit up and she was full of praise.
"The porridge is very fragrant, not smelly at all, and the mutton is so delicious! How can it be so tender? It's still white-cut mutton. Doesn't the mutton have to be stewed for a long time before it can be chewed?"
While Dai Yuni asked Yang Qian, she couldn't help but stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of finely chopped mutton on the plate, dipped it in some soy sauce, put it in her mouth, and ate it happily.
"Didn't I tell you before that our local black goats are used here? Those goats are usually raised on the hillside, just like free-range chickens. The more they exercise, the better the quality of their meat will be.
It's fresh and tender. And the key is that it doesn't grow for a long time. It can usually be eaten in one or two years."
Yang Qian introduced Dai Yuni with a smile. He also picked up the fried dough sticks on the table, tore them open through the bag, put them into her porridge, and pressed them with her spoon.
"Why put it in porridge?"
Dai Yuni didn't understand. If you put the fried dough sticks in the porridge, wouldn't they become crispy?
"You try."
Yang Qian did not explain this time.
"Hey, it's okay! The texture has changed. Although it's not hard anymore, it's soft, but after taking in the smell of sheep porridge, I feel like the two flavors are superimposed on each other!"
Dai Yuni gave a thumbs up again, but her description was a bit easy to misunderstand.
The diner at the next table used to peek at her frequently because of her outstanding appearance and figure. Now that he heard it again, his eyes suddenly became weird.
But Dai Yuni didn't care. She tasted the food happily and took out her phone to see who had liked the post she just posted on Moments.
"Hey, Brother Qian, is your birthday next Tuesday?"
Dai Yuni saw the WeChat message sent by Yang Shihan and asked casually.
"How do you know?"
Yang Qian was stunned for a moment.
"Hanhan told me! She also said that she can't have cake at school for your birthday on Tuesday. I might as well give it to you at noon tomorrow, and then asked me to come to your house for dinner tomorrow at noon!"
Dai Yuni took her mobile phone and repeated it to Yang Qian with great interest.
She didn't seem to have any special reaction to this, but she seemed very interested!
"Ahem! Strictly speaking, next Tuesday is not my birthday, because we usually celebrate birthdays on the lunar calendar. And my birthday on the lunar calendar this year has already passed, which was last Tuesday."
Yang Qian was a little dumbfounded. He understood the intention of that girl Hanhan as soon as he heard it.
It must be Dai Yuni who was invited by her mother!
You know, in the past, their family, whether it was their parents, Yang Qian or Yang Shihan, did not order cakes for their birthdays.
At most, my mother would cook a sumptuous meal for a simple celebration in the evening.
Of course, it is a local custom to boil two eggs in the morning and ask the birthday person to crack them, peel them and eat them.
Later, Yang Qian went to Yangcheng to study at university and earned some manuscript fees. He could do whatever he wanted while away from home, but he had to pay his sister to arrange the birthday cakes for his father and mother.
This time Yang Qian went home. Last Tuesday, November 2, Yang Qian’s lunar birthday, the family did plan to order a cake for him.
Due to the Red and Orange Festival, Yang Qian worked in Heyang almost all last week, so this plan had to be abandoned. Of course, his mother called to remind him to buy hard-boiled eggs to crack.
But even so, at that time, they had no plan to celebrate Yang Qian's birthday in advance. Today, they suddenly brought up the old matter again. Not only did they have to celebrate Yang Qian's birthday again, but they also had to celebrate Yang Qian's birthday in advance!
It is obvious that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong!
"Don't worry, my birthday has already passed and they are messing around."
Yang Qian reluctantly explained to Dai Yuni. Of course, he did not explicitly say that his mother was standing behind him.
But Dai Yuni was very interested in his birthday.
"How can you ignore it? In the past, you were too busy with work to celebrate your birthday, so it doesn't matter if you make it up once! And now many people celebrate two birthdays, one on the lunar calendar with their family, and one on the solar calendar with their friends. This is not
Is it normal?”
Dai Yuni smiled and had already begun to think about what birthday gift she would give Yang Qian.
"I really don't need to pay attention to them. You will feel very embarrassed if you go to my house like this. My mom and dad are both here."
Yang Qian reminded her tactfully.
But Dai Yuni was not afraid at all. She had already made up her mind to go. While replying to Yang Shihan on WeChat, she also asked Yang Qian openly:
"I know, Hanhan said that your mother's cooking is very delicious, and she is planning to cook a big meal for me! By the way, you have to tell me what they like. It's my first time and I don't know what gift to bring."
"No, we are quite busy right now. You want to take makeup photos this afternoon."
"Taking the makeup photos in the afternoon won't affect tomorrow. Hanhan said it was because she was worried that we wouldn't be able to take the makeup photos in time, so she decided not to do it today!"
How did this damn girl take into account all of her brother’s excuses?
"I don't have time tomorrow either. We have to practice singing tomorrow. I have prepared a new song for you, which we will sing together. You must hurry up and practice it well!"
Yang Qian had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Yes, about practicing singing, Hanhan also told me to remind you to bring the guitar back so that we can practice at your house!"
Dai Yuni looked at her cell phone and was so excited that her reaction was half a beat too slow.
"Wait! What new song?"
She finally raised her head and looked at Yang Qian in surprise.
