13. Dreams and reality
Under the yellow cypress orchid tree, Tang Yiyi stared at Xu Bin, who was smoking, "You don't even know how to form a group, and you're not playing games at all." What the hell are you doing, hiding from Master? ”
Xu Bin frowned and took a puff of cigarette, threw half of the cigarette to the ground and kicked it hard, and asked with a serious expression: "Yiyi, do you have a dream?" ”
Tang Yiyi had never seen Xu Bin in such a serious state, but she couldn't help but suddenly want to laugh, as if she saw a singer in a program, the mentor asked the students: Tell me about your dreams.
Isn't this nonsense? The people who stood there whose dream was not singing, would they hear the student answer: My dream is to become an archaeologist.
"Ahem! This dream ......" The twitching corners of Tang Yiyi's mouth angered Xu Bin, and he raised his hand and tapped her forehead with his knuckles, "Be serious!" I'm not kidding. ”
Tang Yiyi covered her forehead, crying and laughing, "Isn't it a joke when you ask me this question?" I memorize prescriptions every day, recognize acupuncture points, and learn from Master to be a cook? ”
Xu Bin was stunned for a moment, "You want to be a Chinese medicine doctor so much?" ”
"Well, I thought about it like that, I wanted to come when my 12-year-old grandmother died."
"You really should have been reincarnated into our house." Xu Bin said regretfully.
"Isn't this coming, even though it's 22 years late."
"Uncle Huang really didn't recommend the wrong person, you are the apprentice my dad is looking for, with a solid foundation, a smart brain, a high level of understanding, and the most important thing is his passion for Chinese medicine. He had lost all hope for me. ”
"What the hell did you do to disappoint him?"
Xu Bin looked at Tang Yiyi and said seriously: "I want to be a singer." ”
The corners of Tang Yiyi's mouth twitched uncontrollably twice again, "...... Are you serious? ”
"You think I'm kidding!"
"No...... No, I'm a little surprised, uh, so what about your dreams. Wait a minute! Xiao Xie said yesterday that you are going to sing, you won't sing in any bar, right? ”
"I didn't sing, but I formed a vocal band, just a few of them you saw last night."
"Xiaoxiao is also a team member?"
"Yes, she's the instructor of our band."
"Vocals, that band? What's it? ”
"Unaccompanied, use the human voice to sing different parts, just like the big song of the Dong people, you know?"
"Oh, that's cool! But what does this have to do with you staying up late at night? ”
"We want to participate in the competition of the Avenue of Stars, and on June 30, the Avenue of Stars will come to Yicheng for the audition, so we are in such a hurry. Everyone has to go to work during the day and can only practice at night. The prison guards are at work today, and they can't come, otherwise they ......"
"Wow, Walk of Fame! You're awesome! Didn't Master know that you were singing? Xiao Xie knows everything. ”
"Dad doesn't know, Xiao Xie was bumped into by her and saw us rehearsing once, I told her that I wasn't allowed to say it."
"She's not very reliable, she almost leaked her mouth yesterday."
"She's defenseless against you."
"But you always stay up late like this, it will definitely affect your work during the day, and you will be discovered by the master sooner or later."
Xu Bin stretched out his hands and grabbed Tang Yiyi's shoulders, "Yiyi, only you can help me with this matter." ”
"How can I help?"
"Just like today, make up for it at a critical time."
"I don't want to lie to Master." She still knows who the boss is.
"As long as you don't say I'm singing, today's sentence is not a lie, there are indeed a lot of people playing that game."
"But you always stay up late at night and are listless during the day, how long can you last? People who engage in art stay up late at night, and the day starts at noon, so you can't do this for a long time. Tang Yiyi looked at Xu Bin worriedly.
"There are more than 30 days left, and if I can pass the audition, I will ask for leave." When Xu Bin said this, he was very lacking.
"Can't get by?"
"Go to work honestly and take the job title in a proper manner. Yiyi, I really like to sing. ”
"I know, dreams still have to be had, in case one day they come true. This phrase in Chicken Soup for the Soul is very popular. ”
"For you, the dream has come true."
"It's still early, but I'm lucky that there are people who help me along the way instead of stopping me."
"So you've got to help me." Xu Bin is always so straightforward.
"What if Master asks you what you're doing at night? How do I say it? ”
"Just say I don't know."
"Alas, you didn't tell me about your dreams today, I don't know anything. Hurry up and go back and get a good night's sleep, tomorrow be more energetic, and Master won't ask. ”
"Well, I'll take you to see our rehearsal another day."
Seeing Xu Bin away, Tang Yiyi went back to the room with emotion, and when she passed by the living room, Xu Mingtang, who was watching TV, stopped her, "Come and eat some fruit." She sat down a little apprehensively, thinking that she wouldn't betray Xu Bin so soon!
"Xu Bin's mind has never been on medicine," Xu Mingtang smiled slightly at Tang Yiyi's nervousness.
"He learned this and that in elementary school, and he doesn't know what he likes! He said he wanted to paint, so he enrolled him in a training class. His mother said that many children were learning piano, and she wanted to cultivate his musical cells, so she signed up to learn piano, and she didn't want to learn it in the third year of junior high school, and she was clamoring to learn guitar and badminton. ”
"Master, I have also learned to draw and learn the electronic piano, although it is a county seat, there are also teachers teaching. I didn't practice badminton, I practiced table tennis, and I also participated in the school team. ”
"Hehe, parents all over the world are similar, and everyone wants their children to be versatile. Xu Bin's grades have not been good, no matter how he makes up for it, he has also taught him to memorize "Medical Sect Jinjian" since he was a child, alas! ”
"If you don't like it, you can't do it well, and it won't be long before you do it."
"Yes, I spent tens of thousands of dollars on tutoring him during the college entrance examination, and finally barely passed two books. The choice of Chinese medicine was the idea I gave him, and this kid didn't say anything in the end, he was a filial child after all. ”
Xu's wife came out of the house and answered: "My Xiaobin has been smart since he was a child, but he doesn't need to study, but he is also very good now." Yiyi, you haven't let your parents worry about your studies, have you? ”
"It's okay. My parents are both teachers, and if I don't get good grades, others will talk about them, so I work hard. ”
"Then why did you think of studying Chinese medicine?"
"I have been in poor health since I was a child, and one of my father's students died during the infusion, so he was very afraid of my infusion, so he has been seeing Chinese medicine. I love medicinal scents and think it's amazing that those plants can be mixed together to cure diseases. Later, when she was 12 years old, her grandmother suddenly fell into a coma one day and soon died. When the old Chinese medicine doctor in the town came to play at home, he said that it was a cerebral hemorrhage, and if he had been present at that time with acupuncture, he might have been able to rescue him. ”
"That's it, you start to want to become a Chinese medicine doctor." Xu Mingtang said.
"Well, it's because I like it very much."
"Good boy, you can rest assured that you can learn here, and the master will teach you everything he can teach you."
"Thank you, Master."
"Master has a request."
"Huh?" Tang Yiyi swallowed and salivaed, don't let me betray Brother Xiaobin.
"Xu Bin, you help him prepare for the title exam of a Chinese pharmacist. Someone is urging him to learn with him, and he will definitely be able to work harder. Xu Mingtang couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke.
"Don't worry, Master, I will do my best to help him prepare." Tang Yiyi assured Xu Mingtang.
