Entertaining Children

  Chapter 7 Go Home

  After that, Xiao Yao spent a period of morning training and learning boxing, half-afternoon practice and half-afternoon listening to Xiao Chengru's full life of history. And this kind of life only lasted more than two months. One day more than two months later, as Xiao Siqi recovers from his injury, Xiao Yao's life will also face some changes.

   Xiao Siqi came naturally to pick up his son. Although Xiao Chengru has been very happy with his grandson for more than two months, and he is a bit reluctant to leave his grandson, he knows that Xiao Siqi, who is experiencing the pain of losing his wife at this stage, needs Xiao Yao's company more than him.

At present, Xiao Yao has learned all the set of Shaolin Changquan taught by Liu Zhongwen, and it can be considered to be a good way to play. Liu Zhongwen has no plans to teach him new things for the time being, but asks him to practice hard and slowly. understand. On Xiao Chengru's side, he has already taught Xiao Yao all the basic enlightenment books such as "Sanzi Jing", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Characters", "Thousands of Poems" and other basic enlightenment books. What kind of vigor and spirit, but it can be considered to have begun to take shape, and the rest is practiced diligently, and slowly realized. So Xiao Yao is now following Xiao Siqi home, which has no effect on what he is currently studying. As long as Xiao Siqi brings him over every ten days and a half, and asks him and Liu Zhongwen to check it out.

   Although things went well with his son home, Xiao Siqi hadn’t seen his father for more than two months. Naturally, he couldn’t come and take his son away immediately. It was indispensable to stay with his father for a long time. While eating, Xiao Siqi and his father Xiao Chengru talked about another question about Xiao Yao.

"Dad, at the age of Bayi, you can also go to kindergarten. Our original plan was to find a kindergarten close to him in the area of ​​our residence. But now his mother is gone, the nature of my job is you I also know that I can accompany Bayi from morning to night when I’m busy. When I’m busy, I will inevitably have to trouble you to pick up and take care of it. So I want to find a kindergarten in the middle of our two residences. What do you think?" Xiao Siqi's working hours are really not easy to say. As a singer who has encountered Waterloo on two consecutive albums, his current number of announcements is very small, and when he is fine, he just needs to stay at home and write songs. But there is another identity as a producer. Although he has done a good job as a producer, he is not the top producer in the industry, nor is there countless singers waiting in line for him to make music. After all, the company is more than just a producer. Whether he needs to work depends on the company's arrangements, the personal wishes of the singers, the tacit understanding of mutual trust, and so on. Once he has a job as a producer, he spends most of the day in the recording studio. At this time, he can only count on his father to help take care of his son.

  Xiao Siqi mentioned this matter at the dinner table, and did not avoid Xiao Yao. So Xiao Yao shuddered when Xiao Siqi mentioned the word "kindergarten". Playing with a bunch of preschoolers in the kindergarten? Xiao Yao killed him!

  Before Xiao Chengru could speak, Xiao Yao hurriedly interjected: "I'm not going to kindergarten."

  Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao a little funny and said, "Is this the thing you have the final say?"

Xiao Yao curled his lips: "Why not?" Turned his head to Xiao Chengru and said, "Grandpa, do you think kindergarten is suitable for me? What can I do with a bunch of little guys who don't even know how to wear clothes and are still playing with nose? The good? It’s better for me to continue reading and learning calligraphy with you, or to fight with Grandpa Liu than to waste time in kindergarten."

  Xiao Siqi laughed and said: "Oh, so you know how to dress yourself and not play with your nose. Are you really learning calligraphy with your grandfather, and you still fight? Let me see what tricks you do?"

   Seeing Xiao Yao throwing a blank eye in disdain, Xiao Siqi was a little surprised and said: "Hey, are you still shaking your face for your father?"

  Xiao Chengru, who had considered Xiao Yao’s words, said to him seriously: "I think what Bayi said makes sense. This kid is too smart. Going to kindergarten really delayed him. It's better to let him follow me."

   "Dad, you..." Xiao Siqi seemed a little anxious.

Xiao Chengru waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Siqi and said, "Listen to me first. You still don't know how August 1 has been with me during this period. Let me tell you, since August 1st came to me the first day, wear The clothes are easy to wash and everything is done by myself, so I didn’t let me in once. I also tried to ask him to wash the dishes for me once. You wait for me to get something and you can see.” Xiao Chengru got up and left. Xi went to the study.

   Xiao Siqi looked at the back of his father turning away in doubt, turned his head and carefully said to Xiao Yao: "Son, you are so good?" Xiao Yao snorted, and still ignored.

After a while, Xiao Chengru held a stack of white paper and handed it to Xiao Siqi, "Look, these are the characters written by your son. He can not only write, but also recognize and read the characters. In more than two months, you The son has learned all the books such as "Sanzi Jing", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Characters Essays", "Thousands of Poems" and so on. Not only these, he remembered the Taijiquan I taught him once. From national martial arts You know that old man Liu Zhongwen, who is retired from the team, is that he taught your son to practice boxing. In more than two months, your son has practiced the Shaolin Changquan he taught in a good manner. Old man Liu’s original words. You know it’s not easy to get him to say this. It’s not just a matter of acting like it."

  The piles that Xiao Chengru talked about have blown up Xiao Siqi like bombs one by one. Holding the stack of white paper in his hands and looking at it for a long while, Xiao Siqi seemed to come back to his senses and carefully said, "What do you mean? My son is a genius?"

Xiao Chengru smiled and said: "I dare not say whether it is a genius or not. Anyway, children of the same age should not be able to compare to him. In terms of learning ability, even teenagers are not necessarily better than him, so I I dare to say that the kindergarten is delaying him."

   "It's been more than two months, why have I never heard you mention these things." Although he did not recover, Xiao Siqi did not call Xiao Chengru to care about the child's situation during this period. Xiao Chengru always just said that the child is fine, but he did not disclose these things at all.

"Isn't I thinking of giving you a surprise?" Xiao Chengru smiled: "So, I think we can respect Bayi's opinion. This kindergarten, let's not let him go. If you are busy, send him off. I'm here. Don't you dad, I can't compare to those kindergarten teachers?"

   "Okay, let's not go to kindergarten." Xiao Siqi hurriedly said, what kind of kindergarten his son is so good? I originally planned to send my son to kindergarten because I was inexperienced and energyless, and my father was too old. It would be too hard for anyone to serve a child by himself. Now it seems that all my father needs to do is a teacher, not a teacher. Babysitter, he doesn't care so much.

   "Son, since you are so good and learn fast, let me learn how to play the piano after going home tonight." Xiao Siqi said to Xiao Yao.

"Hey, you can learn what Bayi is willing to do, you can't force it." Seeing his son's interest, Xiao Chengru hurriedly said: "Bayi is smart and smart, but how can I say that Bayi is a child of more than three years old, still growing body Excessive squeeze."

   "What do you mean." Xiao Siqi looked at his father helplessly, "I can learn calligraphy with you together, or learn boxing with Uncle Liu. It won't be a problem for me?"

   "Do I mean that? I mean the child is willing. The child is so young, I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of it by teaching too much at once, and the body will not be able to bear it." Xiao Chengru stared.

   "It's okay, I am willing to learn." Xiao Yao interrupted his grandpa, "Grandpa, I will pay attention to the combination of work and rest."

   Xiao Siqi did not stay much after dinner, took a short rest and led Xiao Yao to bid farewell to Xiao Chengru back to his home.

Xiao Siqi’s original car was damaged in a car accident. The car he is driving is not long after being replaced. The condition of the car is still not fully familiar. In addition, after the accident, Xiao Siqi also drove more cautiously, at this speed. It was slower and Xiao Yao was able to take advantage of this to enjoy the night view of Yanjing City.

  Xiao Siqi’s residence is located in Kaiyang Community, which is close to the inner side of Yanjing South Third Ring Road. Not far away is a CBD, and the surrounding facilities are very complete. Hospitals and schools are not far away, and the location and environment are very good. And his residence is a relatively new real estate, a house with four bedrooms and two halls, about one hundred and seventy eighty square meters. Two rooms are the bedrooms of Xiao Siqi and his wife and Xiao Yao, while the other two rooms are Xiao Siqi's soundproofed music room, and the other is Chen Zilin's gym.

  Xiao Yao had some impressions of this house in his memory, but he still looked around inside and out again, and the result was naturally extremely satisfied. I won't talk about the bedroom, anyway, it is the place to sleep, he didn't have too high demands. Xiao Siqi's music room looks very professional. There are a lot of optical instruments, an electronic keyboard, two acoustic guitars, an electric guitar, a bass, a set of drums, and a lot of unknown electronic equipment. It seems that this old man will be really good at it. A lot. And Chen Zilin’s gym is also very good. Except for a treadmill and a multifunctional fitness machine placed against the wall, the remaining space is enough for three of them to finish a full set of Shaolin Changquan in the room at the same time. There is the slightest obstacle. The mirrors on the two entire walls and the handrails fixed to the wall, as long as the wall, and a set of sound systems in the corner made him feel that this is almost a half-professional dance classroom. Of course, what surprised Xiao Yao the most was the big guy in the big living room near the balcony. It was a white three-legged piano.

  Naturally, Xiao Siqi would not have thought and did not realize that Xiao Yao would be amazed by the home he had lived in for more than three years. All he was thinking about now was all the things he had heard about Xiao Yao from his father Xiao Chengru. As soon as he settled down at home, Xiao Siqi took Xiao Yao and asked him the most concerned question: "August Yi, are you really willing to learn piano from your father?" Because of Xiao Yao's persistence, Xiao Siqi has reluctantly followed Xiao Yao's instructions. Thinking of calling himself a dad, although he feels that he is not old at all.

"Of course I do." Xiao Yao nodded and said enviously, looking at a bunch of musical instruments in the music room, "I don't just want to learn the piano, but I also want to learn the instruments you know. Not only these, I want to learn from you. Composing, learning to write songs."

   "Really? Okay, as long as you want to learn and are willing to learn, Dad will teach you everything you know." Xiao Siqi said happily.

  "You are not afraid that I will learn everything. I will be able to surpass you in the future and grab your job?" Xiao Yao teased his father.

   "Hehe, I certainly hope you can surpass Dad, let alone grab a job, it will make Dad have no food to eat, no problem going out to ask for food." Xiao Siqi said cheerfully.

  Yes, blue is better than blue. Isn’t this the wish of all teachers to students and parents to children?
