Chapter 117: School Party
Since the last time Teacher Han warned me and Lu Tao, I have intensified my efforts to urge Yangyang to learn, as Teacher Han said, if Yangyang doesn't step up his studies, he may not even be able to pass the high school exam. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the morning, when Yang Yang got up, I would turn on the tape recorder and broadcast the English monotony all over the room so loudly that Yang Yang could hear it wherever he walked into the room, and conversely, even if he didn't like to hear it, there would be a few words that would force it into his ears. In the evenings, I will accompany him to do his homework and help him with his English and Chinese homework. When he was in elementary school, I could tutor him in all subjects, but at that time he was in the trouble of not being recognized by the teacher, and he was not in a state of study, and he couldn't take the initiative to learn. But after he went to junior high school, my ability to tutor him in his studies became less and less, and now I can at most help him in both English and Chinese. But I think I was the biggest help to him when I studied with him. In addition, I reduced the amount of time Yang Yang spent studying guitar from one hour a day to two hours a week. On this issue, I used Mr. Han's words and told him that after the high school entrance examination, he could learn guitar every day. However, I did not take Mr. Han's suggestion to stop his guitar learning altogether. Although Yang Yang did not show his determination in studying, nor did he show much effort and concentration, at least he was more cooperative with me, listening to English words in the morning to eat and go to the toilet, and doing homework under my eyelids at night.
This morning, the English words in the tape recorder have been played, Yang Yang has not yet come out of the bathroom, I was worried that he would miss class, so I went up and knocked on the door, the moment he opened the door, a strong light shot out from inside, it turned out that he had just finished taking a shower, and the four oversized light bulbs on the bath bomb were still on! I walked into the bathroom full of water, and saw my son standing in front of the mirror wearing only a brief. Yang Yang, who is only fifteen years old, has grown to a height of 1.8 meters, half a head taller than his father! And his arms and legs have exposed a few muscles, coupled with a beautiful face, he is an out-and-out handsome guy at any glance. But when I approached him, I found that he was stealing his father's shaver again!
"You're shaving again? I've told you many times that when you shave it off and grow it back, it gets thicker and darker. I looked up at my son and said worriedly.
"Is it okay to grow a beard without shaving it?" Yang Yang didn't listen to me, and continued to rub his still immature face with the shaver.
"What's it that just grows a little fluff?"
"What's a little fluff? My classmates are starting to call me Uncle Lu!"
"Isn't it good to be called Uncle Lu? It means that you are a big generation. I quipped.
"What kind of seniority is big, it can only show that I am old!"
"Old what? Who can see you as an old man? Isn't it just a child?"
"Mom, what should you do, I find it difficult for the two of us to communicate. ”
"What are you going to do? I want to tell you that if you don't get dressed quickly, you're going to miss class!"
"Really, what time is it?"
"It's past seven o'clock!"
As soon as he heard that it was past seven o'clock, Yang Yang put down his shaver and hurriedly ran into the bedroom. After a while, he shouted out of the bedroom again: "Mom, where is my black T-shirt?"
"What are you going to do in a black T-shirt?" I asked, puzzled.
"I'm going to wear it!"
"What kind of T-shirt do you wear in winter?"
"Oh, find it out for me, I'm going to perform today, and I'm going to wear it on stage!"
"You're going to perform, where are you going to perform, and you're not going to have classes today?"
"Today, our school has a New Year's party, and all classes have theatrical performances, including me. ”
"Yo, my son is going on stage, it seems that my son is up to date!"
"Okay, okay, don't praise me, get my clothes out quickly. ”
"But even on stage, it's too cold to wear half sleeves, and today's temperature is below zero!" I said worriedly, as I looked for clothes for him in the cupboard.
"Mom, hurry up, I'm going to miss class!"
"Okay, okay, I'll find it for you!"
I took out the black T-shirt with an anime pattern on my chest and handed it to him, and then I asked, "What are you going to perform? Do you want to do a skit?"
When I asked, my son was happy and said, "Mom, your brain is messed up again? I learn to play the guitar every day, how can I perform a skit?"
"Do you want to play a guitar and sing? Personally, I think it's better for you to play a skit than to play a guitar. ”
"You mean I can't play or sing the guitar well?"
"I didn't mean that, I mean you're handsome and can act in sketches?"
"Can you act in a sketch if you look handsome? Do you think Zhao Benshan is handsome?"
"Okay, okay, don't say it, hurry up and get dressed and go, it's really not early. ”
After Yang Yang ran downstairs with his guitar on his back, I rushed to the balcony to see him until I saw him riding out of the community. Every day when he walks to school, I watch him from the balcony. Although I have been with him for fifteen years, every day I look at him is fresh, he seems to be different every day, as if every day is the first time I see him, his appearance always makes me feel new and excited, I can't see enough of my own son. After becoming a mother, my most obvious feeling is that I feel that I have become stronger, I can match clothes at will, and then walk on the street without makeup, and I don't think about my usual appearance and not very noticeable figure at all, if I meet an acquaintance I haven't seen for a long time, I always say to people: "Why don't you sit at my house?" Let you see my son, who is now one meter eight long!"
Now Lu Tao doesn't have to pick up Yangyang to and from school, but he starts to pick me up and commute to work, because his shop and my unit are on the way. After Yangyang left, I cleaned up my house briefly and went downstairs with Lu Tao. As soon as the two of us walked to the car, we saw Wu Xuewen's mother running towards us in a hurry, shouting at us as she ran, "Wait for me!"
"You want a ride?" I asked as she approached.
"Yes, I'm going to school too. ”
"We're going to work, not school!"
"You don't go to school, don't you watch your son perform?"
Wu Xuewen's mother's question stunned me, and said that Xuewen's mother usually cares about her children less, and it seems that we are not as good as others, and people have the heart to watch their children's performances, but we don't think about this problem at all.
"Xuewen called me and asked me to go to his show. Xuewen's mother continued.
"Oh, yes? Yangyang didn't invite us to. I said.
"Go and see it, it's fun to watch your kids perform. ”
"Okay, that's right, you should check it out. ”
Lu Tao was anxious when he heard me say this: "You're not going to work?"
"Take a leave of absence. I said.
"Ask for leave, I think you don't want to do it, ask for leave twice in three days, and it's strange if the unit doesn't fire you!" Lu Tao is dissatisfied with me.
"Who has taken two days off in three days? You figured it out, I haven't taken a single day off this month!"
"Then can your director grant you leave at any time?"
"I'll give it a try. ”
I made a phone call to the director, and the director said that there was nothing urgent at work, and if there was an emergency, I could wait for the call of the unit at any time, and I said okay.
In this way, Lu Tao took me and Wu Xuewen's mother to drive to the school in Chaoyangyang. As soon as the car arrived outside the school gate, I saw dozens of cars and hundreds of bicycles parked outside the school gate, so crowded that our cars had to stop a little farther away. At the same time, the sound of music in the school has been heard outside the school gate and wafted around the area. Even the immature hosting voice and style of the student host can be heard clearly.
We had to stand at the back of the crowd because we were a little late. The school party was held in the school playground, and the rostrum was temporarily set up as a stage, which was not large, but it was very eye-catching from a distance. Since we are far away from the stage, the children who are performing on the stage are all miniature in our eyes, and if Yang Yang is going to perform on stage, I may not be able to recognize him.
"Let's go forward!" Lu Tao motioned for us to go with him, he was born in the army and always liked to drill forward.
We followed Lu Tao to a front position, although it was a little off, but we could see the little actors on the stage clearly.
In our eyes, the children's performances are very professional, and I don't know if it's because our vision is too amateurish, or because today's children learn more talents. But after watching a lot of performances: I have performed sketches, I have watched several dances, soloists, and musical instruments, but I still don't see Yang Yang come out.
"Why don't you take a look here, and I'll go to the store and have a look. Lu Tao was impatient and wanted to leave.
"What kind of store are you looking at, what are you afraid of if you make less money?" Xuewen's mother joked with Lu Tao.
"Don't go, this is my son's first performance, how can you not watch it?" I stopped Lu Tao.
In the middle of me and Lu Tao, Xuewen's mother exclaimed: "Look! Look! Yangyang and Xuewen are out!"
Lu Tao and I looked up and saw a young band coming out of the stage, and it was Wu Xuewen standing in the middle, looking at the way he was holding the microphone, he must be the lead singer, and his next high note confirmed this. Where is my son?Looking to the side, Yang Yang was standing next to the drum kit, behind a fat boy who was also holding a guitar, and he was looking down and playing with his guitar. Oh, no wonder Xuewen's mother wants to come to see her son's performance, and she wants to come with the two of us, it turns out that his son is the lead singer! Yang Yang is too bad at standing, after standing so peacefully, under normal circumstances, don't guitarists always stand next to the lead singer? What Yang Yang is hiding in it? But what makes me proud is that my son is the most handsome in the band!
The band with Yang Yang and Xuewen sang a rock song, and after Wu Xuewen shouted and ran on the stage for a few minutes, the audience burst into applause. At the curtain call, Yang Yang walked forward, bowed to the audience and turned around and walked off the stage.
Xuewen's mother rushed towards his son despite us, and when we walked around the crowd to Yangyang's location, Yangyang had already left, and we asked Xuewen where Yangyang went, and Xuewen said that he went to the toilet.
"We can go, one of the waiters in my store is on leave, I do have to take a look. Lu Tao said this again to Xuewen's mother.
"Yes, he has to go to the store to have a look, and I have to go to the unit to have a look, I can't help someone to ask me to do something now." "I want to leave too.
"Don't you say a word to your children?" Xuewen's mother asked us puzzled.
"Let's go home and talk about it. I said.
"Okay, let's go. Xuewen's mother hesitated for a moment and began to follow us out.
We were about to walk outside the school gate when we suddenly saw Liu Jia, who was sweeping the garbage in the playground with a broom and dustpan. She also works as a health worker at her son's school, and according to her, she will graduate from school.
"I saw Xuewen singing, he sang so well, he can be a singer in the future!" Liu Jia said hello to Xuewen's mother when she saw us.
I hadn't seen Liu Jia for more than two months, and coupled with that unpleasant experience at her house, I obviously felt that there was less talk between us.
"Yangyang also performed, didn't you see it?" Xuewen's mother said to Liu Jia. I know she's definitely not boasting about Yang Yang when she says that.
"Yangyang also performed, I didn't see it?" Liu Jia said unexpectedly. At the same time, she shifted her gaze from Xuewen's mother to mine.
"Yes, Yang Yang is playing the guitar in the back. I laughed.
"Playing the guitar, I don't think that kid who plays the guitar is not like Yangyang, he's so fat!" Liu Jia still asked with a puzzled expression.
Yang Yang was behind the fat man and was blocked by the fat man. ”
"Oh, I didn't see that. ”
At this time, Xuewen's mother, who had been in a state of excitement, interjected again: "Didn't Kai Kai perform on stage?"
"No, Kai Kai can't perform anything, I didn't let him learn these literary things. Liu Jia shook her head and said.
"But Kaikai is a learning type, and he is the material for the university entrance examination. Xuewen's mother praised Kaikai.
"Not necessarily, Kaikai's current results are not very good. Liu Jia shook her head again.
"It depends on who you compare with, and it would be much better if you compare it with my family. ”
"Oh, my Kai Kai can compare to your family Xuewen, your family Xuewen is the star in this school, and he will definitely be a big star in the future!"
Lu Tao and I watched Liu Jia and Xuewen's mother boast to each other about each other's children, but we didn't know what to say for a while, because my Yangyang is not at the top in terms of literature and art, or in terms of learning, and there is nothing to boast about.
"I have to go, why don't you two talk first?" Lu Tao and the others were impatient.
"Okay, let's go. Xuewen's mother finally agreed to go back.
At noon, as soon as Yang Yang entered the house, he excitedly said to me: "Mom, my performance won an excellence award." ”
"Oh, you're saying your band got an award of excellence?"
Seeing me ask like this, Yang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "How do you know that I am in a band?"
"Your dad and I went to school to see your show. ”
"Really, why aren't you looking for me?" Hearing that we were going to the show, Yangyang's eyes immediately lit up.
"We looked for you, you went to the toilet at the time, and then your dad was in a hurry to go to the store, so we left. ”
Lu Tao, who had just brought the meal to the table, heard Yangyang say that he had won the award, and asked his son, "What prize did you win?"
At this time, Yang Yang took out a hardcover notebook from his schoolbag and raised it in the air and said, "Look, notebook!"
Lu Tao took the notebook and said to me happily: "Look, how exquisitely this notebook is made, it can't be cheap, how can it cost more than ten yuan!" (To be continued.) )
