The Carpenter family is a traditional and conservative family, no different from other American families.

It's just that, according to Alex's observations, Bart's mind is like a child who never grows up. Usually very disciplined and very well-behaved, but sometimes it's unbelievable to go crazy. Bart didn't have any opinions, and even the band he created was quickly controlled by Joe Sr. and Paul.

However, Bart's mechanical skills are really good, and his hands-on ability is also very strong, and if something breaks, as long as it is in his hands, it can be repaired quickly. From this point of view, Alex feels very powerful.

Angel is completely different from Bart, she is mature and sensitive. Bart is seven years older than Angel, but in terms of mental age, Angel is definitely much older. When she is outside, she does not interfere with Bart's decisions, but at home, she is the head of the family.

Bart and Alex, both of whom were under Angel's care, were very comfortable and happy. Things in the house have always been well organized, neat and clean.

Sometimes, Alex even wonders if Bart was caught up by Angel in the first place. Otherwise, with Bart's character, how could he find a woman like Angel who lives heartlessly all day long. He really couldn't imagine how Bart and Angel fell in love, if it weren't for Bart being handsome and tall, and his honest personality, I am afraid it would be difficult to start a family.

Angel is so beautiful, blonde with big breasts and a smart brain. I'm afraid she also took a fancy to Bart's honest duty, so she would marry him. No wonder people say that beautiful women are not necessarily happy, and happy women must be smart.

After testing his IQ, Alex was busy working on his superpowers. He became more and more proficient in his abilities, especially after seven minutes of exercise every day, and he felt that the stronger his body was, the more capable he became.

When he uses the "trace" ability, he will quickly find a specific memory through something like a catalog. It's a bit like a keyword search, except that the content of his search is his own memory bank. Everything is what he has experienced, extracted and separated by him, and after the information compression, the reaction speed of the "traceability" ability is getting faster and faster.

As for the other derivative ability, "simulated memory" is a bit troublesome. Because when simulating other people, you will break through the limits of your body, and the limit is to protect your body, and if you use it too much, it will lead to irreversible damage. He found out about the problem after using it a few more times, so he was careful not to use it as much as possible.

Even if he wanted to use this ability, he would only try to use it when he felt that his limits were far beyond the range he wanted to simulate. As soon as he finds that he exceeds the limits of his bodily functions, he immediately stops.

As for the mental space he messed up with, this thing is a bit of a chicken rib. At present, it seems that the biggest use of this mental space is to let Alex be alone, but it takes too much energy to maintain the space, and he doesn't want to be exhausted like this. Another use is to quickly burn energy, and then you can sleep until dawn.

While Alex is busy, Bart is thinking about whether to train his son to develop in music.

"Angel, I'd like to discuss something with you!" Finally, Bart plans to talk to his wife about it.

Angel looked confused: "What's the matter?" ”

Bart had already told Angel about Alex's performance of playing "Carmen". Unexpectedly, the other party had a calm face, and there was no expression of surprise at all. Now, after testing, he realized that Alex's IQ was so high. Now he brings it up again, trying to get Angel's attention.

Angel said calmly: "I have long known that Alex is a genius, and he learns everything very quickly!" Is this just the thing you're trying to talk about? ”

"No, no! Listen to me! Bart was a little anxious, and he hurriedly said, "I mean, since Alex is so talented in music, then I plan to train him to become a musician!" At the very least, become a singer! ”

Angel shook his head and said, "Alex came to this world on a mission. Although we are his parents, we cannot interfere too much in his decisions, so as not to affect his future. ”

Bart said disapprehantly, "I don't care what his mission is, I'm his father!" He'll have to listen to me! ”

"That's not going to work!" Angel is a devout Catholic, and she has identified Alex's "resurrection from the dead" as a revelation from God. She felt that she had to protect Alex from being disturbed by others.

"Then let him make his own decisions! Your idea may not be right! Bart had no choice but to make the last move.

Angel agreed, and she didn't want her ideas to interfere with Alex's future path.

"Music?" Alex said with some confusion, he hadn't figured out which path he was going to take in the future.

"Yes, do you want to sing? Do you want to be a popular singer? ”

Bart is on the sidelines, and since he discovered his son's musical talent, he has always wanted Alex to learn music.

"Alex, ask yourself if you want to go down such a path!"

Angel said in a calm tone, in fact, she was also a little nervous. Honestly, she doesn't want her children to be singers. She is not an isolated person, and all kinds of scandalous incidents of music stars have been reported in the newspapers, and they are endless!

"Singing seems like a lot of fun, so it's okay for me to give it a try!"

Alex finally obeyed his desires, he didn't know much about the various events in the film industry, but every time he saw this kind of news, he would always hate these people, and at the same time, he would be mixed with all kinds of envy and jealousy.

As the saying goes, if you can't eat grapes, you say that grapes are sour, this kind of mentality is often there, and now that he has the opportunity to try eating grapes, how can he be hypocritical.

After receiving Alex's affirmative reply, Bart immediately went to the store and bought a guitar and came back.

Bart shoved the guitar into Alex's hand, "This is for you!" Practice well and hope you'll be able to perform on stage with our band soon! ”

Angel was a little happy when she saw Bart so happy, as if she remembered something. So he took Batra aside and whispered a few words.

Bart was stunned by Angel's words, and he asked with wide eyes, "You, what you said is true?" ”

"It's true!" Angel replied that there was a mixed feeling in her look.

By this time, Alex had turned his attention away from the guitar. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? ”

Bart replied, "Yes! Alex, you're going to be a brother! ”

"Huh?" Alex was completely unprepared, he never thought he would have a brother or sister. At least, I didn't think it would be that fast!

Angel smiled and asked, "Do you want a brother or a sister?" ”

Alex thought for a moment and replied, "Both!" My brother wants it too, and so does my sister! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" Bart and Angel both laughed, thinking Alex's answer was too clever.

"However, if you have an extra child, will it make the burden on the family heavier!"

Angel was still a little worried, she didn't want to have a second child so soon, after all, they had just settled down. The cost of raising Alex is not small, and if there is an extra mouth, the cost is not small.

Bart hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll solve the problem!" If it's a big deal, I'll work more overtime, and the money will naturally be there. ”

Alex also said, "And me!" I can also go to the tavern and perform and come back with some tips! ”

"Then you're going to hurry up and practice your guitar!" Bart said to his son.

The first thing Bart taught Alex was the guitar playing technique, and he himself was born in the wilderness, so the method of teaching was very simple. Just let Alex put C, D, DM, EM first...... Memorize the staging of these chords and practice them repeatedly until you can press them accurately with your eyes closed.

Then it's for Alex to combine and change these chords at will, and his right hand can freely strumm the strings, changing every three times, or four times and again. Wait until Alex can change these chords back and forth with his left hand, and then let him break them down with his right hand, from thick strings to thin strings, and learn 4/4 time and 3/4 time.

Soon, Alex was able to play to the band's beat. He has a very strong sense of rhythm, coupled with a mature mind and knows how to be flexible, and he was able to rehearse with Bart and them in less than a week.

Old Joe was very surprised by Alex's performance, and he grew up and said, "Alex, you are the smartest child I have ever seen!" Really, other children are still playing coquettishly at your age! ”

Alex looked at Old Joe with a smile and said, "Thank you, thank you for your compliment!" In fact, there are many people who are better than me, such as Mozart, who was already able to compose music when he was 3 years old! And then there's Chaplin, who sang and performed on stage when he was 5 years old! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard Alex say this, but none of them thought there was anything wrong with that. Alex's intelligence is well known, and his progress since studying music is obvious to all.

Dill watched Alex struggle to play with the guitar on his back, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I think the most important thing for Alex is not to practice playing the guitar, but to sing!" ”

Diere's words caused everyone to look at him, so Dill quickly explained: "You see, there is no shortage of guitarists in our team, and one of Bart is enough. What we lack is a lead singer! If Alex could sing, our band would have attracted a lot of audiences. ”

Old Joe and Bart thought about it carefully, it is true, Alex is only more than four years old this year, if he sings well, it is a gimmick! The lead singer of their band "Owl" is often absent and does not have a regular lead singer!

Bart thought for a moment and said embarrassedly, "But I don't know how to teach Alex to sing!" ”

Old Joe Ha smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this, just let Paul teach." ”

Paul Harrison is an old bartender at a nearby tavern and a member of their band. He can sing and dance, and he also knows how to play the accordion.

"Good! Then I'll go find him later! Ba nodded and said with a smile on his face.
