Others say that Xie Qingyun is just like Xie Ying's mother. Xie Ying disagrees with this statement: "How can she be like my mother? She is obviously more like my mother than my mother!"
There were still a few days before the performance, and Xie Ying had to go to the Children's Palace to rehearse every day. After the winter vacation, Xie Qingyun took the initiative to take on the pick-up and drop-off work. She urged Xie Ying to manage her body shape. As the lead singer of the choir, she must be in good shape.
The posture is upright and the temperament is outstanding, so that the audience can feel comfortable.
Not only that, she also took various protective measures. She wrapped Xie Ying tightly every day. Those clothes were like layers of armor. The cold air and viruses were blocked out and it was absolutely impossible to invade Xie Ying's body.
; In addition to asking Xie Ying to drink more water, she would cook a bowl of rock sugar pear every day to moisten Xie Ying's throat.
She attaches great importance to Xie Ying's performance. She can't let Xie Ying get sick or have problems with her voice. Xie Ying said with a smile: "Your students said that the words you talk about are normal
Have a normal heart! Who would have thought that a performance could make you so nervous."
Xie Qingyun put on a scarf for his niece and said: "I often say 'normal', but that doesn't mean I don't work hard! Besides, my teaching results are obvious to all. How often has I not been number one in my grade?"
Because she had to go to the Children's Palace to rehearse, Xie Ying's holiday life became even busier. She hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge in the morning and was chased to the door by her grandma. She had to swallow an egg and choked until she rolled her eyes. Her grandpa hurriedly brought a glass of water.
, this saved her life.
The old couple complained about each other. Until Xie Ying left, Grandma Feng still scolded her husband: "You are just a grinder! You have been grinding your whole life! It takes a long time to boil an egg! If you could hurry up, it wouldn't be so.
If you wait a little longer, Xiaoying won't get choked!"
"A good man doesn't fight with women!" Xie Hongxuan said these words, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly back into the house.
"There are no red beans at home! Go buy some and bring them back! Soak them today and make bean paste tomorrow!"
"It's not the Chinese New Year yet, what are you going to make? Now that you've made it, can you put it into the Chinese New Year?"
"The second brother's family is back, let's cook something for them! You can buy whatever I ask you to buy, do you hear me?"
Xie Hongxuan remained silent, gargling his mouth in his big porcelain jar, deliberately prolonging the sound of "Bah". But he did not dare to accept his wife's gaze, so he went to the morning market to buy red beans.
Xie Chong squatted on the kang and watched the scenes of chickens and dogs jumping from the window. He could not express his envy. In Guangzhou, his life was also tense and busy, but he enjoyed that kind of life very much. Now he is too idle
He felt like a loser. He was disheartened and lay lazily on the kang.
Xie Qingshou was also squatting like his son. Even the backs of father and son were the same. When his son lay down, he also lay down.
I'm so busy, what should I do?
"Are there any games played by the Sun Gods recently?" Xie Qing asked for words.
"So what if there is a competition? Anyway, it has nothing to do with me." Xie Chong said frustratedly: "The Sun God Club has just been established, and I want to join the youth team. My classmates all know it, but... alas!
They must be laughing at me."
"It's good if you don't go." Xie Qingshou said hard-heartedly: "I don't want you to be a professional athlete. Football, just keep it as a hobby!"
Xie Chong didn't like hearing such words the most. He jumped off the kang and never wanted to talk to his father again.
Sitting on her aunt's bicycle, Xie Ying started singing "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." She was opening her voice. She has shown her talent for singing since she was in the first class of kindergarten. Although she is young, she never gets away from singing.
She has a good sense of rhythm and a clear voice. She was selected into the "Little Bailing Chorus" very early. When there are performance tasks, she has to go to the Children's Palace to rehearse every day.
Xie Qingyun is not as strong as her father, so it is very difficult for her to ride a bike. This place was just upgraded from a "town" to a "street" a few years ago. There are currently only two buses, and there is no direct bus from Xie's home to the Children's Palace. Xie Ying
It was impossible to travel by bus. She was still young, and it was too far and unsafe to walk. Therefore, no matter how hard it was, the Xie family always insisted on picking her up, rain or shine.
This is Xie Ying's first time as a lead singer. She behaved very generously in front of the teacher, but in fact, she was very nervous. She wanted to perform well and wanted her mother to know that her grandparents and family were cultivating her with great care. She
outstanding.
When she thought of this, she became even more nervous, fearing that she would make a mistake.
"Auntie, what happened to you yesterday? You didn't eat dinner, and you didn't sleep well either."
"Um...it's nothing." Xie Qingyun just wanted to silently resist the pressure and anxiety, but he didn't expect his niece to know about it.
"Are you in a bad mood because you haven't been paid?"
"...Don't talk nonsense. Our family is not short of money, so I'm not that worried. If wages aren't paid, I won't buy clothes."
"You don't have to hide it from me. You cried secretly several times, and I know it! Girl, I'm still young, so I can't help you much. When I grow up, I will make a lot of money and give it to you every month.
money, you won’t have to worry about money.”
Xie Qingyun's nose felt sore and he almost shed tears.
How can this little kid be so sensible?
Xie Ying said: "We have rehearsed many songs. One of my favorites is "Little Bird, Little Bird". The teacher said that the song I sang is the best. Girl, do you want to hear it?"
"Then just sing it to me!"
Xie Ying really started to sing, and her clear and clear voice echoed on the early morning road. Her feet were swinging back and forth, as cheerful as a bird: "I love the spring, I love the sunshine, I love the lake, I love the fragrance of flowers, little birds, little birds, I
My good friends, let us fly and sing together, let us fly together and sing together!”
Xie Ying is really like a happy lark when she sings. Xie Qingyun is in a very heavy mood. Fortunately, her niece can sing. As long as she is with her niece, she will be infected by her niece's singing and become cheerful.
When they arrived at the Children's Palace, Xie Qingyun warned: "Xiaoying, I'm going to be a tutor at someone else's house. After you finish singing, just wait for me here. If you're hungry, go to the canteen and buy a piece of ham to eat, okay? But cross the street.
Be careful, be careful of the car!"
"Well, aunt, don't you say hello to Teacher Yu?"
"No, I don't have time today, I have to go."
"But... aunt, it's winter vacation, can't you take a few days off?"
"The Chinese New Year is almost here, I have to find a way to make some money!"
Recently, my aunt's brows have often knitted together. In Xie Ying's impression, her aunt has always been a lively and cheerful girl. How could she be so melancholy?
The aunt had a strong self-esteem, so she left in a hurry, not giving Xie Ying time to ask. As long as she was not asked, she would not show her embarrassed side. Xie Ying entered the classroom with worries, and she did not enter until the music started.
The state of singing.
Zhu Fangting is also in the choir. Her vocal range is very narrow. She can't go up to high notes or down to low notes. The group with her in it always has a disharmonious voice. Teacher Yu has a headache, but she has been enduring it and doesn't dare to deal with it easily.
Zhu Fangting got angry, let alone expelled her from the choir. Zhu Fangting was not selected through selection, the children often talked about her behind her back, and she had almost no friends in the choir.
Xie Ying doesn't like her very much. They have been classmates since kindergarten and are now in the same class. Others tease them that they are destined, but Xie Ying does not want such a fate. In the choir, she will take the initiative to say hello to Zhu Fangting, but she also
It was just limited to saying hello, and they had no deeper communication.
Zhu Fangting is a pampered little princess. In the collective life of the kindergarten, she also regards herself as a being that attracts the most attention. The toys she likes are all hers and no one else is allowed to play with them. In fact, not many children play with her.
After she occupied a bunch of toys, the children ignored her and she found it boring to play alone, so she quietly blended into the crowd, pretending to be popular.
In this final exam, Xie Ying ranked first in her grade. Zhu Fangting was sitting in his seat sorting out his books. When he saw Xie Ying, he deliberately said loudly: "If I didn't catch a cold during the exam, I would have ranked first."
Xie Ying was cleaning hard. When she heard these words, she felt very uncomfortable. However, she was not angry or said anything bad. Instead, she pretended not to hear and continued cleaning. Even if Zhu Fangting really has the ability to be the first in the grade.
, she is not afraid either.
After rehearsing for a while, Teacher Yu called to stop and the children were able to rest for a while. Xie Ying rushed out of the classroom and wanted to see her good friend Hu Baozhu. Even if she hadn't seen her all night, she missed her friend a lot.
Unexpectedly, she heard Teacher Yu's voice at the corner of the stairs. Teacher Yu said firmly: "No, the lead singer was decided a long time ago. That child is very talented and has a very high level. It's impossible.
Replace her."
Change lead singer?!
Xie Ying's heart was in her throat and she continued to listen.
The woman opposite was wearing a scarlet coat and had her hair permed. She was noble and fashionable. Xie Ying recognized her. She was Zhu Fangting's mother and had just gone to school for a parent-teacher meeting.
The woman was carrying an "ordinary" cloth bag and said, "Teacher Yu, these are the cosmetics my family brought back from South Korea. South Korea has just established diplomatic relations with our country and is about to invest and set up a factory in the city."
.My wife just went on a business trip last month and brought back a lot of cosmetics. They are really good for me to use. You can take them back and use them first."
"Don't be like this." Teacher Yu politely and indifferently refused: "I will naturally care about the children, so you don't need to give me anything extra. I appreciate your kindness, but I won't accept it.
"
The woman said coquettishly, it was wrong to continue to stretch out her hand, and it was wrong to take it back. Teacher Yu continued: "The reputation of the Little Bailing Choir has always been very good, and our standards for selecting lead singers are also very strict. If you are not the best child, then it is wrong.
Maybe he will take the position of the lead singer. This performance is very important. The children have been rehearsing for a long time, and it is even more impossible for us to make temporary substitutions - class will start soon, I will leave first, you walk slowly."
The woman couldn't hold back her face and her expression was ugly. Teacher Yu came over and saw Xie Ying at a glance. Thinking of the conversation just now, she felt uneasy and asked: "Xie Ying, why are you here?"
"I...I go to the toilet..."
"Oh, let's go quickly! We still have to hurry up and rehearse."
Xie Ying was full of worries and couldn't control her expression. Teacher Yu also felt uncomfortable, and she couldn't say too much, so she patted Xie Ying on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. You are the only one who can sing.
You want to give me credit, do you hear me?"
These words are undoubtedly the most effective reassurance. Xie Ying nodded solemnly: "Teacher Yu, I will definitely give you credit!"
