Entertaining Children

  Chapter 219 The goal is set higher

After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, Xiao Yao finally stood on the land of Huaxia again. Although the air quality in Yanjing is much worse than that in Calabasas, he breathes the air after a year’s absence. Xiao Yao, who left the passenger passage, felt a different kind of intimacy.

  Compared to the spectacular scene of more than 20 people seeing off at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, there were only three people who picked up Xiao Yao at Yanjing International Airport-Xiao Chengru, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying. The three people did not even bring an assistant. But this is what Xiao Yao needs-family, warm, enough.

   "Grandpa, why are you here too?" Xiao Yao saw the three people in the crowd at a glance, pushing the luggage cart and hurried over.

"Hehe," Mr. Xiao smiled before saying a word, patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, "I was filming when you left. I can't go away and I can't come to see you off. I feel so sorry. If you come back today, I happen to have I'm empty, so I came to pick you up with your parents."

  "Where can I be troubled? You are so old, how can you bother you running to the airport to pick me up? I will definitely see you when I come back." Xiao Yao said.

   "How old? Your grandpa, I am too old to walk." Xiao Chengru stared at Xiao Yao.

  Xiao Chengru is now in his sixties or seventies, but he is still physically strong and energetic. He is now in a semi-retired state. When he is interested, he picks a good book to act in, writes and writes at home, punches, and listens to a play when he feels bored. The studios of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying gave their contracted actors the guidance and guidance of acting. They lived a pleasant and fulfilling life. Naturally, they were both physically and mentally awesome.

   "Dad, Bayi cares about you too." Ye Jiaying stepped forward and smiled, "We all know that you are in good health."

   "Dad, Mom, I'm back." After Xiao Yao and his grandfather greeted him, he naturally did not forget his parents, and hugged the two strongly.

"Well, good," Ye Jiaying happily squeezed Xiao Yao's arm and said, "Last time I watched it on TV, I thought you had grown stronger. Now when you see it in person, not only is you stronger, but it seems that you have grown taller. Your dad."

  "You haven't seen me for a year. It's normal to grow taller and stronger. I'm only seventeen. I'm still growing up." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

   "Okay, let's get in the car first, go home and talk later." Xiao Siqi pointed to a few paparazzi holding cameras in the corner of the airport and said, "If there are paparazzi following, it won't be good to attract crowds for a while."

"You guys are really good too. Go out without an assistant. You are not afraid of being blocked by paparazzi reporters and fans?" Xiao Yao joked with a smile while pushing the luggage trolley and following the three of them to the parking lot. , Your reputation has fallen to the point that you can go out without makeup?"

"Go, I started to be silly when I came back, did you say that about your parents?" Ye Jiaying slapped Xiao Yao on the shoulder, "We have paparazzi guarding all the year round outside of our work room. When we go out, my dad and I will go there. I sent a red envelope with them, indicating that today is to pick you up at the airport. You can follow along. It is OK to take pictures from a distance or post news, but don’t come up to interview or disturb our family reunion. This kind of request, they look at the red envelope. On the face of it, I am willing to agree."

  The family of four sat in the car. Xiao Siqi was naturally a well-deserved driver. Elder Xiao Chengru took the seat of the co-pilot with great care, allowing Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao to sit in the back seat together.

After getting in the car, Ye Jiaying took Xiao Yao's hand and asked about Xiao Yao's experience in the United States this year. After the children return from a long journey, parents seem to like to let them retell the experience. Although Xiao Yao didn't talk with his parents on the phone less during this year, Ye Jiaying couldn't help but ask Xiao Yao to ask questions.

"What are your plans after coming back?" After Xiao Yao described the experience in the United States and the car was still on the road, Xiao Siqi looked up in the rearview mirror and asked Xiao Yao in the back seat, "The American school holiday is earlier than the Huaxia school. , Do you still plan to go to school to continue the last dozen days of high school sophomore year?"

  The summer vacation for Xiqiao High School is in early June, and the summer vacation for Yanjing No. 2 Middle School is at the end of June, so after Xiao Yao returned to China, the summer vacation for Yanjing No. 2 Middle School is not yet there.

"No, there is a one-year deadline for exchange students, and the school did not stipulate that I must go to school in the last dozen days, so I just don’t forget it. Anyway, I also taught myself in the United States when I was in the second year of high school. It doesn't make much difference if you don't get there for a few days." Xiao Yao said.

"Oh, I'm very confident." Xiao Siqi smiled, "Then you are planning to start the summer vacation directly? Are you interested in participating in any programs to show your face during the summer vacation?" For Xiao Yao's study, Xiao family Never worry, as long as he says it's okay, it must be okay. Moreover, Xiao Yao never put his mind on the study of cultural classes during the winter and summer vacations, so Xiao Siqi turned to care about other arrangements during Xiao Yao's summer vacation.

   "Hey, listen to what you mean, your son just came back, so you want to exploit him? Are you such a dad?" Ye Jiaying dissatisfied with Xiao Si.

   "Where am I exploiting him? Ask your precious son yourself, as far as his temperament is, how can he stay idle during the two-month summer vacation?" Xiao Siqi smiled helplessly.

   "I can't help but listen to the drama with me," Xiao Chengru, the co-pilot, suddenly turned to Xiao Yao, "Don't work for your parents as a capitalist."

   "Dad!" Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying shouted at the same time.

   "I didn't say I want Bayi to go to work." Ye Jiaying said.

   "How come I became a capitalist?" Xiao Siqi also said.

"Okay," Xiao Yao stretched out his hands and made a pause gesture, "I decided to take a three-day rest, eat and sleep at home every day, and let you raise me as a pig for three days. Then I will go. The studio, see if there are any interesting projects." Turning his head and looking at Xiao Chengru said: "It's okay to accompany you to listen to Peking Opera, but let me talk about it first. I only watch "The Beauty Case" and "Drumming and Scolding Cao". , "Dingjunshan" allegro, that kind of babble, babble, babble, babble, I can't stand a single sentence in half a minute."

"Although I don't like to hear the last sentence, but at your age, I am already very happy to know the first three." Xiao Chengru said with a trace of relief in his disappointment, "It is estimated that the three names you just mentioned, you Dad can only name a "Beauty Case"."

  "Dad, you praise your grandson as you praise your grandson. Can you not take me? It's not my fault that I don't like Peking Opera." Xiao Siqi smiled helplessly.

   "I also learned Erhu somehow." Xiao Yao said, "It's normal to know the names of a few Peking operas."

  "I still know "Red Lantern" and "Shajiabang", but unfortunately there are none in this world." Xiao Yao added silently in his heart.

  Back home, Xiao Yao had a sumptuous reunion dinner with his parents and grandfather. After sending off his grandfather, Xiao Yao put his head on his bed, didn't even take a bath, and fell asleep in a dark night.

  Although it is said that his parents should raise himself as a pig for three days, Xiao Yao really has no habit of being a pig. In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yao, who had passed the jet lag, still got up early and continued to go out to exercise early.

  After returning from exercise, Xiao Yao did not go out anymore. Apart from sleeping and eating, he spent most of the day comfortably lying on the bed or sofa reading books and listening to movies. That's right, it's listening to the opera, Peking opera. Xiao Yao remembered the promise he made to his grandfather Xiao Chengru in the car the day before. If you want to accompany him to see Peking Opera in the future, he wanted to feel it in advance, so as not to be too ignorant and feel too boring and make the old man unhappy.

  After three days of rest at home, Xiao Yao Yiyue appeared in Qi Jia's studio. Although things can be discussed at home, Xiao Yao feels that this studio himself still has to come here from time to time to get a look or something. After all, this is also my parents' company. It would be a bit embarrassing to be stopped by the front desk like when Xiao Siqi and Xiao Siqi entered the modeling agency.

  "Dad, my child laborer was sent to the door and was exploited. Are there any fun projects?" After knocking on the door and entering Xiao Siqi's office, Xiao Yao greeted him with a smile.

   "Go, only children under sixteen are considered child laborers. You will be eighteen years old right away. What kind of kid do you pretend to be?" Xiao Siqi responded with a smile.

   "You are under eighteen, and you are also a minor, and that is also a young worker. Anyway, Grandpa said that you are a capitalist, and I am just an exploited life." Xiao Yao sighed deliberately.

   "Okay, I'm a capitalist." Xiao Siqi smiled, "I don't exploit you, you go, go home and continue to rest, as long as you can stay at home."

   Xiao Yao stayed at home for three days, but he really couldn’t stay, but he wouldn’t be easily held by his father.

"Really? Then if I go to mom, do you have any good books? More than two months will be enough for me to play a supporting role with few roles. Or I will go to Uncle Zhang, he will definitely not lack photography. I'm going to the project of the new year, he must be too happy to be too late." As he said, Xiao Yao wanted to leave.

"Come back!" Xiao Siqi immediately stopped, "Don't forget, you promised me to release an official album before the age of twenty. It's been a year since you wrote an English song, and it still belongs to the United States. You can’t put them in your album."

   "The album is not in a hurry. This kind of thing depends on the opportunity, and the time comes." Xiao Yao turned around and said, "You still have some fun projects on hand."

"The hottest show now is the audition show. Should I go?" Xiao Siqi took out a publicity report, "The "Happy Boys" of Xiangnan Satellite TV. This audition has already begun. However, due to our friendship with Xiangnan Satellite TV, There should be no problem with you stuffing it in."

  "Civilian Draft?" Xiao Yao curled his lips, "What do you do with me in? Do you want to be a judge?"

   "Oh, do you mean you still look down on it?" Xiao Siqi smiled.

   "Of course, your son, I am professional in music." Xiao Yao said proudly.

   "Then this, "The Voice of China", is more professional, can you be so confident than a singer?" Xiao Siqi took out another report from the sea.

"This is a bit interesting." Xiao Yao nodded, and then asked, "How do you go? There seems to be no audition for this, right? Are you going to interview or something?" Both of these programs are in previous lives, and this world has arrived. This year is not the first season. The model itself is very clear, but the previous operation and process are not very familiar.

   "So you are willing to go?" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao and said.

   "Well, the singing skills of the people inside are very good, challenging and worth playing." Xiao Yao said.

   "In fact, another program is more suitable for you. I hope you will participate in that program even more." Xiao Siqi said.

   "What show?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

  ""China Good Songs", the competition of original songs is not only better than creation, but also better than singing. I think you are more likely to win the championship in that show. It's just a pity that the show is in March next year." Xiao Si said together.

It was another show from a previous life. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "March next year? No! Next March is the sprint for the college entrance examination. I will not ask for leave for participating in the show. I also want to take a college entrance examination champion. Well. Just this "Good Voice of China", it doesn't matter whether you can win the championship, the main thing is fun."

  "The college entrance examination champion?" Xiao Siqi glared at Xiao Yao. Shocked by these four words, he had already ignored the other words in Xiao Yao's words just now. Although he knew that Xiao Yao's academic performance was good, he didn't need to worry about it, but he didn't expect his spirits to be so high.

"Shhh, you know it, but don't go out and tell the media, or you will be ashamed if you don't get it." Xiao Yao said in a low voice, "Isn't there a few guys on Weibo who say I have acting talents? Is it unreliable to take the test of Yanjing University? Even if I don’t study at Yanjing University, I have to get a score that will definitely make it into Yanjing University. In that case, it is better to set the goal higher and go directly to the top student in Yanjing City College Entrance Examination. Go, even if you don't get it then, you should be able to reach the score line of Yan University."

   "Then you are looking for projects to play?" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao in confusion.

"The college entrance examination champion has never been learned by death." Xiao Yao smiled, "Furthermore, with my temperament, if you let me close my home for more than two months in the summer vacation, I can't do it. So I can't do it. The right attitude is to play well when you are studying, and to study well when you are studying. This summer, I am definitely looking for something to play with, but after the third year of high school starts, you don’t expect me to give up studying and spend energy on other things. Up."
