Chapter 2 Music Competition
This evening.
Huang Guolun changed the storybook and told Xiao Huang Tao a story about dreams.
After listening, Huang Tao had a fat face that seemed to understand whether she understood or not, lay down under the quilt, and asked Huang Guolun with wide eyes: "Dad, do you have the seeds of dreams in your heart?"
"Absolutely. My dream is to find you a new mother as soon as possible. ”
"It's not a dream to find a new mother, it's your responsibility. ”
"Little brat, you know a lot, hehe. ”
Huang Guolun smiled and nodded, and Huang Tao had a cute round nose like a bear on his face.
"Dad, what is your dream? Like my uncle, you want to become a film and television tycoon?"
"No, I don't want to be a tycoon. ”
Covered Huang Tao's quilt, put the fairy tale book on the bedside table, turned off the light, and lay side by side on the bed with his son, Huang Guolun looked at the ceiling illuminated by the faint light, and said longingly: "My dream is that you go to college quickly, and when you go to college, I will not be a teacher, I will open a tavern in the most secluded alley in Houhai." Every day, we cook wine on the fire, bathe our hands and play the piano, and invite the bright moon and breeze to come to our small restaurant as a guest. ”
"To put it bluntly, you just want to open a bar. ”
"Sort of. ”
"Does it cost a lot of money to open a bar? I think you can open it now, right?"
"I can't do it now. This has nothing to do with more money and less money, the main thing is that I don't have enough energy, I want to raise you as an adult first, and then chase my own dreams. ”
"Oh. ”
Huang Tao snorted silently, showing a rare heartfelt side, he felt as if he was dragging his father down.
"Alright, stop thinking nonsense and go to sleep. If you can fall asleep in ten minutes, you will be treated to a cone tomorrow. ”
"Okay! I'll sleep now!"
Hearing the cone, Huang Tao became very excited again and wanted to sleep obediently.
But within two minutes of stopping, he opened his teeth again: "Dad, can you go and learn electric welding." ”
"What are you doing to learn welding?" Huang Guolun was stunned by his son's question.
"My uncle said that if you have the skills to make my beautiful sisters shine, you will soon be able to help me find a new mother. ”
"So you want me to learn welding?"
"That's right, if you learn welding, you can make the beautiful sisters shine. It's not just a sight to behold, it's okay for you to blind them!"
"Haha. Huang Guolun was amused to death by his son's innocence, and followed Huang Tao's words: "Okay, I'll learn welding when I have time." ”
"You have to talk about it, let's hook up!"
"Pull the hook. ”
"The hook is raised, and it will not change for a hundred years. ”
"No change, you go to sleep, don't keep thinking about this mess. ”
"I'm all worried about you. ”
Huang Tao was indeed sleepy, and in response to the sound of tiredness, he turned over and fell asleep directly.
Hearing Huang Tao's snoring, Huang Guolun carefully turned sideways and helped Huang Tao cover the quilt again.
Looking at the innocent sleeping appearance on one side of Huang Tao's face, Huang Guolun felt sour in his heart.
He suddenly figured out today that Huang Tao has been learning these messy things recently, just to find a new mother as soon as possible.
Huang Guolun didn't have the ability to help Huang Tao find a new mother immediately, which made him very helpless.
Finding a wife is not like buying something, you can start after looking at the condition.
Although he also favors women with outstanding appearances, he values the heart of women more than others.
However, it is difficult to draw dragons and tigers, and it is difficult to know people and faces.
Without a long time together, he couldn't see whether a woman was good or bad.
Recently, there has always been news that a poisonous woman killed her husband to cheat her marriage and cheat money, and his brother was also unladylike at the beginning, and he left within two years of marriage, and was swept away by the woman with more than 10 million yuan.
Putting aside Wanguan's family wealth, Huang Guolun does not have many highlights that can attract women.
He is not handsome, and his personality is more introverted and unpleasant, and there is such a small oil bottle as Huang Tao at home to be fed, which woman with outstanding conditions will take a fancy to him.
Only those who are familiar with him know that he actually has a quiet humor in him, although he is not smiling most of the time, and will give others a natural sense of distance, but that is subconsciously protecting the family.
Although he knows how to play various musical instruments in concerts, objectively speaking, his talent is very mediocre, he is actually just a lover of music, and he does not have the absolute talent and capital to become a professional musician.
When he was a child, he learned piano and music, and he was completely forced by his mother, who had a fiery literary heart.
Later, he was admitted to the conservatory of music, and his mother sent him in.
If he has to take the exam on his own, he really can't get into a reliable conservatory.
After graduating from the Conservatory with a crane-tail grade, he didn't have any big ambitions.
He is very content to teach in school, treat his hobby as a job to support his family, and enjoy this comfortable life.
Unlike his brother, who always daydreams, Huang Guolun never wanted to be a singer or a well-known musician.
He was satisfied to open a tavern, to be able to eat and wear without worry, to hum folk songs carefree, and to sing his favorite music to those travelers who also liked music.
This little dream in his heart must be realized in the future.
But for now, he has to raise Huang Tao first.
When the yellow peach's wings are hard and he can fly solo, he will realize his dream.
The next day, Monday.
Huang Guolun routinely drove his top-of-the-line Volvo XC90 to Huang Tao to an international bilingual kindergarten five kilometers away from home.
After that, he drove home, parked the car in the community, and walked to work at the experimental middle school, which was only a 10-minute walk from his home.
Experimental Middle School is one of the best high schools in Xicheng.
It is the focus of the city.
The quality of the students is very good, and there are many cultural and sports special enrollments.
In each class of high school, there will be students with special talents in music.
Most of the target schools for these music students are famous art schools such as CCTV, Chinese Opera or Nortel, and there are also target Tsinghua University and Peking University.
If you want to pass the art exam or get an art award, you need to find a teacher to tutor the art major courses that match their specialties outside of class.
Huang Guolun has been working in the experimental middle school for more than five years, and no art student has asked him for extracurricular tutoring.
Unlike other teachers in the experimental middle school, who can earn a lot of money by making up classes outside of class, Huang Guolun has no other teaching income except for the school's fixed salary.
But he doesn't live off this dead paycheck.
In the year they got married, the two of them got a bride price of more than 20 million yuan from their parents, and they have been lying in Huang Guolun's financial account, with an income of more than 100,000 yuan every month, which is enough for him and Huang Tao to live a rich life.
Teaching in the experimental middle school, Huang Guolun is mainly happy to be idle, and can accumulate some connections in the education circle, so that he can pave the way for his mischievous son to enter a prestigious school in the future.
In school, Huang Guolun never showed his wealth, and teachers who knew his family background knew that his family was very wealthy, but Huang Guolun never took the initiative to show that he was a rich man, and he even invited others to dinner very rarely.
There are several female teachers in the experimental middle school who are both virtuous and artistic, and the conditions are very good, and some of them are chasing Huang Guolun in secret, but Huang Guolun is a little resistant to the fact that the other half is a teacher.
This is mainly because his mother is a teacher, and she is still a particularly "annoying" teacher, and when there is nothing to do, she will take out the teacher's shelf to educate him, which makes him particularly helpless.
His father was also a teacher before he went to the sea, and later went to work in the education committee, and he never completely left the teaching circle until he went to the sea.
He is a teacher himself.
The main circle of their family is the teacher's circle.
He really didn't want his other half to be a teacher anymore.
So he never thought about looking for a new mother for Huang Tao at school.
Teaching at the school, he mainly enjoys the joy of cultivating students' love of music.
In China, as long as it is a course that is not taken in the college entrance examination, the school generally does not pay attention to it.
The same is true for experimental middle schools, which are famous for quality education.
If students can develop certain interests and hobbies, and understand a little bit of music theory, they can be considered to have successfully completed the teaching task as high school music teachers.
The students' college entrance examination results are not outstanding, and how many students are admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University have nothing to do with their teachers of these small subjects.
The only chance they have to show their faces at school is to guide students to win rankings in literary competitions held in the city or district.
If the students they mentor can achieve results that add to the school's glory, as instructors, they are rewarded with a commendation that will build capital for their teacher ratings.
However, Meng Xiaoyun, a more senior music teacher who is a few years older than Huang Guolun in the experimental middle school, mainly guides art candidates to develop specialty projects, and she has the opportunity to shine, and Huang Guolun has no chance to show his face at all.
Huang Guolun doesn't fight for anything about this.
As a self-aware person, Huang Guolun knew that his music level was far worse than Meng Xiaoyun's, so he didn't delay the students, which made him have a reputation as a good man who has no quarrel with the world.
The annual Jinfan Cup Municipal Music Competition is about to be held again.
As in previous years, several good music seedlings in the experimental middle school were monopolized by Meng Xiaoyun, and Huang Guolun was just teaching leisurely and didn't care about these things at all.
There are only two places for each school to participate in the Golden Sail Cup Music Competition.
Only students who have won the first and second place in the music competition in the school can represent the school to participate in the Jinfan Cup.
At the end of October, the music competition of the experimental middle school and the art performance of the school celebration cup will kick off.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Experimental Middle School, and the scale of the school celebration cup is very large, not only has many stars in the entertainment industry been invited to help, but the school will also reward the students who have won the ranking in the school celebration cup, which makes the students' enthusiasm for registration unprecedentedly high.
According to legend, the top three students in this school celebration cup competition will be amnesty erased the punishment of a major demerit, which makes many students who like to be naughty and mischievous actively sign up for the competition.
In high school, most of the people who can win awards in literary and artistic competitions are music students who practice musical instruments, and few of them rely purely on singing to get rankings.
Compared with the seeded players under Meng Xiaoyun who are good at playing the piano and guzheng, other students with non-instrumental music specialties can't play musical instruments at all, they can only form a band to sing and compete, or compete in the form of soloists, and the possibility of winning the ranking is very small.
But that doesn't dampen their enthusiasm for fantasizing about taking a place.
Zhang Liang, who is in the fifth class of the second year of high school, is a problematic student who is determined to win the top three in the school celebration cup competition and erase his two warnings.
He and his classmates Guan Qiangguo and Liu Zhongjie formed a "Liu Guanzhang" rap group, and they would practice singing in the back garden of the school every day after school, fantasizing about shining in the school celebration cup.
Speaking of Zhang Liang, there is still a little bit of a small beam between this kid and Huang Guolun.
