Entertaining Children

  Chapter 208 Christmas Gifts

After expressing his gratitude to Xiao Yao, several people discussed how to use the windfall.

   "With this money, I can buy a car, too." Dean happily kissed on the check, "I don't have to go anywhere to ride Sammy's car anymore."

   "Me too, I also want to buy a car." George also said.

  It seems that for Americans, cars are indeed indispensable.

   "You guys are really boring. I bought a car to be cool and to make it easier to pick up girls." Mike poked his lips at the two.

   "Then how are you going to spend this money?" Dean and George looked at Mike.

   "I...I want to buy a pickup truck." Mike thought for a while and finally said.

   "Go, isn't that still buying a car?" Dean and George despised at the same time.

   "But at least I don't need to ask my dad to borrow his pickup truck when I deliver something in the future. I don't just buy a car just to have a car." Mike defended.

   "Hey, you all bought cars one by one, have you considered my feelings?" Xiao Yao cried enviously.

   "There is no way, what you lack is a driver's license, not money, we can only sympathize with you." George smiled.

   "Sami, can your second-hand car be replaced?" Dean asked Samin as if to irritate Xiao Yao on purpose.

   "My car is fine, I don't plan to change it." Samien shook his head.

   "What's so good about that broken car," Dean suggested, "Sell your used car, plus your current $20,000, you can buy a good new car."

   "No, I plan to save the money to buy musical instruments, and invite the teacher." Samin said.

  "Buy a musical instrument? Would you like a teacher?" All of them looked at Samien a little strangely.

   "Well, when I haven't seen anyone composing, I used a drum kit. I'm going to buy a guitar and an electronic piano, and then find a teacher to learn, so I can compose later." Samin said.

"Well, I support buying musical instruments. After all, it's for our future." George nodded in agreement, and then pointed to Xiao Yao, "But why pay for the teacher? Isn't there a free teacher standing here? Yang? His guitar and keyboard are great, you can just learn it directly from him."

   "People are so busy, how can I teach me this pure rookie empty-handed." Samien glanced at Xiao Yao.

   Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, really unable to refute Samien. Because then he will start to go to the street dance team again.

   "Speaking of busy," Xiao Yao glanced at his watch and said apologetically: "Guys, I have to go. I'm going to the hip-hop team today."

   "Isn't it? It's Christmas today, are they still rehearsing today?" Dean widened his eyes.

   "I am also very strange, but they told me to go over, I have to go and see." Xiao Yao said helplessly.

   "Look, this is what I said." Samien said. Then he got up and took out the car key, "Let's go, busy people."

   "No, Paul will come to pick me up today. He should be there soon." Xiao Yao said, "Today is Christmas. You should have your own program arrangements, so you won't bother Sam."

  Speaking of this, two horns sounded outside the door.

   "I think Paul is here." Xiao Yao said, turning around and opening the door and went out.

   "Hi, guys, Merry Christmas!" Paul arrived at the door as expected in his car. He lowered the window of the car and saw Xiao Yao and the band members walking out and beckoning to them in the driving position.

   "Merry Christmas." Everyone also raised their hands in response.

   "Guys, see you later." Xiao Yao greeted him and got into the passenger seat of Paul's car.

  The car started, Xiao Yao couldn't help but ask Paul: "Today is Christmas, why would you arrange to rehearse today?"

"It's not a regular rehearsal." Paul smiled and explained, "Since you took us to see parkour last time, we all have really come up with a lot of new moves. I just want you to watch it. It’s a Christmas present for you if you look at it to make you happy. We will disband after reading it, and we won’t rehearse today."

   "Really? Well, I am looking forward to it." Xiao Yao nodded and smiled.

  In fact, taking them to watch parkour is Xiao Yao’s inspiration. I thought it was feasible and did so. I didn’t expect it would really inspire them to create new actions.

   "Wait," Xiao Yao suddenly said to Paul when the car was halfway there, "Stop in front of the store. I'll buy something."

   "What to buy?" Paul asked curiously.

  "Christmas present for you." Xiao Yao smiled.

  "Christmas gifts? That's a Japanese grocery store. What gifts can you buy for us?" Paul was even more curious.

   "You'll find out later." Xiao Yao said mysteriously.

  Waiting for Paul to park his car at the door of the store, Xiao Yao opened the door and walked in. A few minutes later, Xiao Yao came back with a big paper bag.

   "What is it? You are not sending us candy, are you? We are not children, and it is not Halloween." Paul said as he looked at the paper bag that Xiao Yao had thrown onto the back seat of the car. There are more than a dozen people in their dance team. Xiao Yao bought such a package. The only gift Paul could think of was a large package of candies.

   "Patience, man, wait until the rehearsal room to announce. Go, don't let everyone wait too long." Xiao Yao said funny.

  Paul suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and drove Xiao Yao to continue to the rehearsal room.

  Entering the rehearsal room, after everyone met, it was naturally a festive greeting. After that, it was time for the dancers to give Xiao Yao a performance.

"We thought of a lot of new movements. These movements are scattered and not very coherent. But they are used in fighting dance. Anyway, fighting dance is also a paragraph. We can use it flexibly at that time." Zhou Jingyi introduced to Xiao Yao .

   "Hmm." Xiao Yao nodded.

   "What are you holding?" Zhou Jingyi glanced at the paper bag that Xiao Yao had held on his chest since he entered.

   "The Christmas gifts that Yang gave us, without telling me on the way, said they were meant to surprise us." Paul deliberately said. Xiao Yaolu only said that it was a Christmas gift, but he never said the word "surprise".

   "Oh? Can you open it now?" Zhou Jingyi was really interested.

   "Wait a moment, now is the time for you to surprise me." Xiao Yao laughed, and then shouted loudly: "Guys, performance time, let me see what you have done during this time."

  The dancers responded with a smile, and began to move their bodies. Paul went to turn on the speaker, and there was a strong rhythm of hip-hop music from the speaker.

  TJ was the first to walk to the center of the field, did a popin casually, and settled on the field, but his posture of holding his figure was quite special. The left leg is behind, the right leg is bent, and he makes a standard lunge. The upper body is straight, the **** is pushed forward, the head is also high, and the hands are behind the back.

   Before Xiao Yao had time to ask a question, he saw Paul ran over in two steps, his left leg stepped on TJ's right knee, and his right leg kicked on TJ's chest, and there was a beautiful backflip. It's not that there is no backflip in hip-hop, but because of Paul's backflip, thanks to TJ's body, the height of the backflip is much higher than that of a flat-ground one. It looks much easier and more beautiful. Xiao Yao even noticed that after Paul's right leg stepped on TJ's chest, TJ also slightly lifted his chest upwards, sending Paul up.

   "Pretty!" Xiao Yao praised. At the same time, I also thought of how they thought of this action. In parkour, there is a two-step backflip on the wall. Naturally, there is no wall on the stage to step on, so they thought of directly using the body of the person to make the wall. It is indeed a very creative action, and the effect is also very good.

  Hearing Xiao Yao's praise, everyone's confidence greatly increased, and other people began to show their skills.

  In addition to the wall backflip, the King Kong jump, the monkey jump, and the lazy jump, these movements have also been borrowed by them in the dance movement. Backflips on the wall use people to make the wall, while King Kong jump, monkey jump, and lazy jump use people to make obstacles directly, whether it is shoulders, arms as railings, or **** and back as platform obstacles for them It's not difficult. Anyway, it is a team competition, there are enough people in the team, and everyone separates different actions and takes turns as obstacles or walls. And because people are used as obstacles, the height angle can also be adjusted with the players doing the action.

  These actions have greatly strengthened the team’s collaboration. The more coordinated actions, the stronger the team’s team consciousness in the eyes of the reviewer, which happens to be a bonus point.

  Of course, in addition to coordinated actions, there are also single-player actions they think of from parkour. For example, a tailwind flag action in parkour was turned into a floor action by a great man. Directly supporting the ground with one hand, the whole body was held parallel to the ground for more than one second or close to two seconds, which looked much cooler than the handstand in ordinary street dance.

   "Awesome!" After everyone finished the show, Xiao Yao was also a little excited. It seems that there are really a lot of great people in this team. Xiao Yao's confidence in this team has also been further strengthened.

  Seeing Xiao Yao’s excited expression, everyone felt that their brains and hard practice during this period of time were not in vain, and they also looked happy and excited.

   "You have received our Christmas gifts, now it's your turn." Paul smiled and pointed to the paper bag Xiao Yao was holding.

   "Okay, no problem." Xiao Yao said, opening the paper bag and took out a packet of white powder in a transparent plastic bag from it.

   "God, won't you?" The team members suddenly widened their eyes. In the United States, the white powder packed in transparent plastic bags reminds people of something bad for the first time.

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Yao saw everyone's expressions, and immediately knew that everyone wanted to be awkward. He rolled his eyes and said, "Paul looked at what I bought from the store on the street. That kind of thing might be in the store. Do you sell it here? Even if it's such a big bag, how can I have so much money to buy it?"

   "Then what this thing is?" Zhou Jingyi asked. She was the first to believe that Xiao Yao would buy such a large package of drugs to make Christmas gifts for everyone.

   "Flour." Xiao Yao replied.

   "You take a bag of flour to make Christmas gifts for a group of us? Are you going to make dumplings for us?" Paul looked at Xiao Yao strangely, "Where's the rolling pin? Where's the meat?"

   "Oh, I still know a lot. I also know that making dumplings requires a rolling pin." Xiao Yao praised Paul, then shook his head, "Of course not."
