After expressing their gratitude to Xiao Yao, several people discussed how to use the windfall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"With this money, I can also buy a car. Dean happily kissed the cheque and said, "I don't have to go anywhere to rub Sammy's car again." ā
"Me too, I'm going to buy a car too. George also said.
It seems that for Americans, the car is indeed an indispensable thing.
"You're really boring, you guys buy a car to be cool, to be a convenient girl. Mike pouted at the two of them.
"And what are you going to do with this money?" Dean and George looked at McDow.
"I... I'm going to buy a pickup. Mike thought for a moment and finally said.
"Go, isn't that still buying a car?" Dean and George said with disdain at the same time.
"But at least I don't have to ask my dad to borrow his pickup truck when I can deliver anything later. Rather than simply buying a car for the sake of having one. Mike argued.
"Hey, you've all bought cars one by one, have you considered my feelings?" Xiao Yao exclaimed with envy and hatred.
"No way, what you lack is a driver's license, not money, we can only sympathize with you. George said with a smile.
"Sammy, that used car of yours can be replaced, right?" Dean asked Samion as if he was deliberately provoking Xiao Yao.
"My car is fine, I don't plan to change it. Sarmien shook his head.
"What's so good about that broken car," Dean suggested, "sell your used car, and add your current $20,000, and you can buy a nice new car." ā
"No, I'm going to keep the money for a musical instrument and a teacher. Sarmien said.
"Buy a musical instrument, or hire a teacher?" several people looked at Sarmien a little strangely.
"Well, I've never seen anyone compose music with a drum kit. I'm going to buy a guitar and an electronic keyboard, and then I'm going to find a teacher to learn so that I can compose music later. Sarmien said.
"Well, I support the purchase of musical instruments, after all, it is for our future. George nodded in agreement, and then pointed at Xiao Yao, "But why do you have to pay for a teacher? Isn't there a free teacher standing here? Yang's guitar and electronic organ are very good, you can just learn from him." ā
"People are so busy, how can they teach me this pure rookie with empty hands. Sarmid glanced at Xiao Yao and said.
Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, he really couldn't refute Samion. Because then he's going to start going to the hip-hop team again.
"Speaking of busy," Xiao Yao glanced at his watch and said a little apologetically, "Guys, I have to go." I'm going to the hip-hop team today. ā
"Isn't it? It's Christmas, are they still rehearsing today?" said Dean's eyes widened.
"I was weird too, but they told me to come over and I had to go and see. Xiao Yao said helplessly.
"Look, that's what I said. Sarmyon said. Then he got up and took out the car keys and said, "Let's go, busy man." ā
"No, Paul will come and pick me up today, I should be there soon. Xiao Yao said, "Today is Christmas, you should all have your own program arrangements, so you won't bother Sam with you." ā
At this point, two horns sounded outside the door.
"I think Paul arrived. Xiao Yao said, turned around and opened the door and walked out.
"Hey guys, Merry Christmas!" Sure enough, Paul arrived in his car outside the door. Lowering the window, he saw Xiao Yao and the band members walking out and waving to them from the driver's seat.
"Merry Christmas. The crowd raised their hands in response.
"Guys, see you later. Xiao Yao greeted and sat in the passenger seat of Paul's car.
When the car started, Xiao Yao couldn't help but ask Paul, "It's Christmas today, why did you arrange a rehearsal today?"
"It's not a regular rehearsal. Paul smiled and explained, "Since you took us to see parkour last time, we've all really come up with a lot of new moves. I just want you to take a look at it, make you happy, and it can be regarded as a Christmas gift for you. After reading it, we will disband, and we will not rehearse today. ā
"Really, well, I'm looking forward to it. Xiao Yao nodded and smiled.
In fact, taking them to see parkour is Xiao Yao's flash of inspiration, and he did it when he thought it was feasible, but he didn't expect it to really inspire them to create new moves.
"Wait," Xiao Yao suddenly said to Paul halfway through the car, "stop at the store in front of me, I'll buy something." ā
"What to buy?" Paul said curiously.
"A Christmas gift for you. Xiao Yao smiled.
"Christmas presents? That's a grocery store, what can you buy us there?" Paul was even more curious.
"You'll find out later. Xiao Yao said mysteriously.
When Paul parked the car in front of the store, Xiao Yao opened the car door and walked in. A few minutes later, Xiao Yao came back with a large paper bag.
"What's that? You're not going to give us candy, are you? We're not kids, and it's not Halloween. Paul looked at the paper bag that Xiao Yao threw into the back seat of the car. There were more than a dozen people in their dance team, and Xiao Yao bought such a bag of things, and the only gift Paul could think of was a large bag of candy.
"Patience, man, wait until we get to the rehearsal room. Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting too long. Xiao Yao said funny.
Paul suppressed the curiosity in his heart and drove Xiao Yao to the rehearsal room.
Entering the rehearsal room, everyone naturally greeted each other with a holiday greeting. Then, it was time for the dance team members to give Xiao Yao to perform.
"We thought of a lot of new moves, which were scattered and not very coherent. But it's just right to use it in the fighting dance, anyway, the fighting dance is also a piece of time, and we can use it flexibly when the time comes. Zhou Jingyi introduced Xiao Yao.
"Hmm. Xiao Yao nodded.
"What are you hugging?" Zhou Jingyi glanced at Xiao Yao's paper bag that he had hugged on his chest since he came in.
"Jan didn't tell me the Christmas present he gave us on the way, saying it was to surprise us. Paul said deliberately. Xiao Yao only said that it was a Christmas gift on the road, but he never said the word "surprise".
"Oh, can you open it now?" Zhou Jingyi said with great interest.
"Wait a minute, now is the time for you to surprise me. Xiao Yao laughed, and then shouted loudly: "Guys, show time, let me see what you have done during this time." ā
The dancers laughed in response and began to move their bodies. Paul went to turn on the stereo, and the sound of hip-hop music came out of the speakers.
TJ was the first to walk to the center of the field, and he made a casual popin to freeze on the field, but his posture was more special. The left leg is behind, the right leg is bent, and a standard lunge is made, and the upper body is straight, the **** is pushed forward, the head is also held high, and the hands are behind the back.
Before Xiao Yao could ask a question, he saw Paul running over in two steps, his left leg stepping on TJ's right knee, and his right leg kicking TJ's chest, and he did a beautiful backflip. It's not that there are no backflips in hip-hop, but Paul's backflip is much more relaxed and beautiful because it uses TJ's body to soar far higher than the flat jump. Xiao Yao even noticed that after Paul's right leg stepped on TJ's chest, TJ also had a slight upward chest to send Paul up.
"Beautiful!" Xiao Yao praised. At the same time, I thought about how they came up with this action. In parkour, there is the action of kicking two steps on the wall to do a backflip, and there is naturally no wall to kick on the stage, so they thought of using people's bodies directly as a wall. It's really a very creative action, and the effect is very good.
Hearing Xiao Yao's praise, everyone's confidence increased greatly, and other people also began to show their skills.
In addition to kicking the wall backflip, King Kong jumping, monkey jumping, and lazy jumping, these movements have also been borrowed from them in dance moves. Kicking the wall backflip is to use people as a wall, King Kong jumping, monkey jumping, lazy jumping are directly using people as obstacles, whether it is shoulders, arms as railings, or ****, back as platform obstacles is not a difficult thing for them. Anyway, it's a team event, and there are enough people in the team to take turns as obstacles or walls in different movements. And because it is an obstacle with people, the height angle can also be adjusted according to the team members who do the action.
These actions greatly strengthen the team's collaboration, and the more actions that are cooperated, the stronger the team's sense of teamwork will naturally be in the eyes of the judges, which is also a plus.
Of course, in addition to the coordinated movements, there are also solo moves that they think of from parkour. For example, a downwind flag action in parkour was turned into a floor action by a cowman. Directly on the ground with one hand, the whole body is parallel to the ground for more than a second to nearly two seconds, which looks much cooler than the handstand in general hip-hop dance.
"Great!" After everyone finished displaying, Xiao Yao was also a little excited. It seems that there are really a lot of cattle in this team. Xiao Yao's confidence in this team has also been further enhanced.
Seeing Xiao Yao's excited expression, everyone also felt that their racking of brains and hard practice during this period of time were not in vain, and they also had a happy and excited expression.
"You've received our Christmas presents, and now it's your turn. Paul smiled and pointed to the paper bag that Xiao Yao was holding.
"Okay, no problem. Xiao Yao said, opened the paper bag with his hands, and took out a bag of white powder in a transparent plastic bag from it.
"Oh my God, wouldn't it?" the team's eyes widened. In the United States, the white powder in a clear plastic bag is immediately associated with something bad.
"What do you think?" Xiao Yao saw everyone's expressions, and immediately knew that everyone wanted to be crooked, rolled his eyes and said, "Paul looked at me from the store on the street, can that kind of thing be sold in the store?
"And what is this thing?" asked Zhou Jingyi. She was the first to believe that Xiao Yao would buy such a large bag of drugs to make Christmas gifts for everyone.
"Flour. Xiao Yao replied.
"You take bags 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 and said, "Where's the rolling pin?"
"Yo, I know a lot, and I also know that you need a rolling pin to make dumplings. Xiao Yao praised Paul, then shook his head and said, "Of course not." (To be continued.) )
