Chapter 141: Work Again
When Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting returned to Xiao Chengru's courtyard, it was almost half past ten in the morning, and Xiao Chengru had already returned. When the two www.biquge.info of them walked into the courtyard gate, the old man was humming Peking Opera with great interest while watering the potted plants in the yard.
For the arrival of the two little guys, Xiao Chengru was naturally very happy. Hearing that the two of them also went to the park to find themselves, Xiao Chengru couldn't help but complain about Xiao Yaolai: "You said that you kid, if you want to bring Duo'er over to play, you won't call your grandfather in advance." Grandpa is waiting for you at home. ”
"I didn't have a habit of calling you in advance when I came to see you. Xiao Yao said, "Your schedule can be found in the studio, as long as you don't go to the filming or give lectures in the studio, most of them are always at home." ”
"What if I go to the theater? Of course you don't have anything, even if you eat closed-door soup, it's the first time for people to come to grandpa's place, do you want her to eat closed-door soup the first time you come?" Xiao Chengru glared at Xiao Yao and said.
"I'm not afraid, it's a big deal, I should come here to shop. Xiao Yao smiled, "Duo'er is very curious about this old place, just like a curious baby, she keeps asking this and that." ”
"No one has ever been to a place like this. Sun Tingting said coquettishly with some embarrassment.
"Well, if you want this place, I'll come to Grandpa's place often in the future. Xiao Chengru smiled at Sun Tingting and said, "Let Bayi take you around the yard, and I'll go buy some vegetables, and I'll eat here at noon and try grandpa's skills." ”
"Okay, I'm sorry grandpa. Sun Tingting said generously. Before coming, Xiao Yao had already told her that every time he came over, he would at least accompany his grandfather to have a meal, so Sun Tingting was also mentally prepared.
"No hassle, no hassle. Xiao Chengru waved his hand happily, put down the watering can in his hand, and walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back.
"Let's take you to visit Grandpa's study. Seeing Xiao Chengru's back disappearing outside the courtyard door, Xiao Yao pulled Sun Tingting and walked towards Xiao Chengru's study.
"Is this my grandfather's study? It feels like an old study on TV, very different from my own study. Sun Tingting followed Xiao Yao into Xiao Chengru's study, and couldn't help but admire.
"The most distinctive feature of this courtyard of grandpa is this study. Xiao Yao pressed Sun Tingting to sit down on a large Taishi chair in front of the desk and said, "I sat here and learned to read, calligraphy and draw with my grandfather. ”
"Well, can you also teach me how to write calligraphy?" Sun Tingting looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk, and looked up at Xiao Yaodao.
"Okay, anyway, grandpa went grocery shopping, and he has to cook when he comes back, so let's have fun here." The other wings are bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and the like, which are no different from ordinary houses, and there is nothing to see. Xiao Yao opened the lid of the inkstone, poured a little water into the inkstone from the porcelain jar next to him, picked up a square of ink and began to grind it.
"By the way, I'll let grandpa cook alone in a while, should we go and help?" Sun Tingting looked up at Xiao Yao and said.
"No, the kitchen is grandpa's territory, and I used to go in to help and he kicked me out. Your first time here today, it's even more unlikely that you'll be let into the kitchen. Xiao Yao spread a stack of rice paper in front of Sun Tingting and said, "Whatever you want to write, I'll write it to you first, and then you write it." ”
"Think about it... Bean juice, coke rings, rock sugar gourds, rattles, starlings..."Sun Tingting thought for a while, and then said word by word.
"Huh, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yao said a little dumbfounded.
"It's all the stuff I've seen today, and I think it's all interesting. Sun Tingting said.
"What a girl who has never seen the world. Xiao Yao smiled.
"You also know where my family lives, and I don't have a grandfather who lives in this kind of place, it's normal that I haven't eaten or seen these things, okay?"
"Okay, normal. Xiao Yao said, "You can write whatever you want." Also, you can see that grandpa likes you very much, you can treat this as your own grandpa's home, and you can come to him often to play in the future. ”
"That is, this girl is loved by everyone, and flowers bloom. Sun Tingting wrinkled her nose proudly and said, "But I'm embarrassed to come alone, and I'll accompany you if I want to come." ”
"Okay, I'll come to see grandpa later, and I'll take you with me. Xiao Yao smiled, "Come, stretch out your little hand, I'll teach you how to hold the pen first..."
When Xiao Chengru came back from grocery shopping, he saw that the two of them were writing happily in the study, and he didn't come in to disturb. Seeing that the time was almost up, I went into the kitchen to get busy. It wasn't until lunch was ready that Xiao Chengru went to the study to call the two out to eat.
The three of them had a happy and affectionate lunch. After the meal, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting chatted with Xiao Chengru for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.
Xiao Chengru also knew that these two young people and an old man like himself didn't have much to talk about. The two of them were already very happy to think about coming to see themselves, so they didn't keep this sweet young man and sent them out of the courtyard.
Seeing that Sun Tingting was very interested in the things in the old city in the morning, after coming out of Xiao Cheng's Confucianism, Xiao Yao simply took Sun Tingting to the overpass in Xuanwu District.
The flyover in Yanjing was once regarded as an area with the typical characteristics of the old Yanjing civilian society, and there were countless folk masters and artists who performed juggling performances on the flyover. After a large number of modern old city renovation and road expansion projects, although the Tianqiao area has long lost the atmosphere of old Yanjing, there is still a folk culture museum here, which displays and displays the market culture that once existed here.
Although you can no longer see the special performances of the past, such as pole climbing, flag training, and wrestling, you can still imagine the prosperity of the place through those exhibitions and introductions in the Cultural Museum. In addition to the cultural museum, there is also a Tianqiao theater and a Tianqiao tea garden. Although the theater is performed in movies, dramas and even ballets, which have nothing to do with the old Tianqiao, in the tea garden, you can still enjoy the traditional music programs such as cross talk, storytelling, Beijing rhyme drums, and Shandong Kuaishu left over from the old Tianqiao.
Basically, this whole day, Sun Tingting, who is the tail of the post-90s, followed Xiao Yao, who was a few months younger than herself, to receive the baptism and edification of the traditional culture of old Yanjing, and only then did she really know that this ancient city where she had lived for 18 years still had many things that she didn't know.
After coming out of the overpass, Xiao Yao saw a "Goubuli" steamed bun shop when passing by You'anmen, so he excitedly pulled Sun Tingting in to eat a traditional snack in Jinshi for dinner. At the end of such a day, whether it is the desire for companionship, curiosity or appetite, Sun Tingting has been greatly satisfied.
At the end of the day's date, after Xiao Yao sent the satisfied Sun Tingting home, he also returned to his home happily.
"Come back, come and sit down and talk for a while. As soon as Xiao Yao entered the house, he was stopped by his parents who were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Oh, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yao also sat down on the sofa with a smile on his face.
"Did you go on a date with Duo'er today?" Ye Jiaying said as she looked at Xiao Yao with a smile on her face.
"Hmm. Xiao Yao nodded generously. There's nothing to hide.
"Looks like you had a lot of fun. Xiao Siqi also smiled.
"Yes," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I took her to see my grandfather today, and I found that she was quite interested in the traditional things of Lao Yanjing, so I took her to see a lot of things in this area, she was happy, and I was naturally happy." ”
"What? You took Duo'er to the old man's. Xiao Siqi shouted, "Is this the rhythm of your meeting with your parents? But if you want to meet, you will also bring our family to see us first?"
"Isn't Duo'er coming to our house very often? Also, she hasn't seen her grandfather, and it's not that she hasn't seen you. Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and said.
"That's different, Duo'er hasn't been to our house since you confirmed your relationship. Xiao Siqi said.
"What's the difference? Also, why did you get involved in meeting your parents? If you want to talk about people, don't you know anything about her? If you want to talk about that kind of ceremony, how old are the two of us? We haven't graduated from high school yet. Duo'er didn't come to our house during this time, because there was nothing she had to do. Xiao Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes and said.
"Alright, your dad is teasing you. Ye Jiaying smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "That's what he said." ”
"Isn't it nice for you to go on a date with Doer on weekends like this? How did I hear that you are looking for something to do for yourself again, and some time ago you complained to us that you were busy and wanted to rest. Why did you take on the task again as soon as people opened their mouths?" Ye Jiaying continued.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao said puzzled as he looked at Ye Jiaying.
"I heard Cheng Xi say today, you promised to help Chen Chen write a song, and you also made an appointment to write together on the weekend?" Ye Jiaying said.
"Oh, yes. Xiao Yao said, "This Chen Chen is also half my master, I used to follow him to learn hip-hop, rap, and graffiti, he asked me for help, I can't help it, not to mention that Cheng Xi and Chen Chen found me together." It's okay to work a little harder. ”
"Since you are not afraid of hard work, then I will also make some requests to you by the way. Xiao Siqi said, "First, after Chen Chen's song comes out, you will help him make it." On the one hand, Mr. Shen and I are not very good at rap music, and on the other hand, Mr. Shen is now the main person in charge of preparing the women's folk orchestra, and now in addition to helping Fan Linxuan prepare a new album, I also have to help Mr. Shen deal with the preparation of the women's folk orchestra, and neither of us has time to be a producer for Chen Chen now. Second, you can't favor one over the other and make some contributions to Fan Linxuan's new album, and I don't want too much, two songs, okay?"
"Ah, why are you pressing me to work again?" Xiao Yao said with a bitter face.
"You came up with the idea of the women's Chinese orchestra, and you don't participate in the formation of the work, so you can help us share a little bit in other aspects. Xiao Siqi smiled, "We really don't have time to help Chen Chen record songs recently." Also, because she wants to be distracted by the matter of the Women's Folk Orchestra, Fan Linxuan's new album still has two songs left to help her find it, so you can also help Dad solve it. After thinking about it, I think that the song "Dream Water Town" is still not suitable for Fan Linxuan, you can write her two more songs that are suitable for her to sing. ”
"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded helplessly.
"By the way, I have something I want to say hello to you. At the mention of Chen Chen, Xiao Yao suddenly remembered yesterday's incident and said, "How is the artist assistant in the studio recruiting?" Fan Linxuan is going to release a new album, Chen Chen may release a single first, and there are more than a dozen people in the women's folk orchestra who also have to be greeted, this gap is so big, it shouldn't be full yet, right?"
"Of course, it's not full yet," Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "There are still a lot of people missing." But this is not too much of a rush for the time being. What, what do you think?"
"It's not an idea, it's that I want to recommend you a special person. Xiao Yao said. (To be continued.) )
