Chapter 1674 - Not Needed for My Good (Forty-Three)
"Musical instruments?"
An's father is not as delicate as An's mother, at least he didn't think of anything in the past.
When he heard that he needed to learn a musical instrument, his emotions were a little higher than when he was forced to learn a foreign language.
"I don't have to learn, I can play the guitar. ”
Father An mentioned his former strengths, with memories in his eyes, and his tone was a lot more cheerful, "When I was in college, I also participated in a band, and I was a guitarist and lead singer!"
"Guitar?"
Anne frowned slightly, her voice was flat, but her tone revealed a hint of disagreement, "Dad, what I'm talking to you about is elegant art, like a violin, cello, even a piano, it's better than a guitar or something!"
Father Ann paused for a moment.
Playing the guitar is the best memory of his youthful years, and it is also one of his few hobbies.
Even though he later gave up the band and stopped playing music, he always cherished that guitar.
In his spare time, he would hide in his room alone and quietly play around a few times.
But now, one of his favorite musical instruments was commented on by his daughter in such a disdainful tone, and he, in his heart, really couldn't say what it was like.
"It's all, it's all musical instruments, why are you still divided into three, six, nine and so on?" Father An felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said with a forced smile.
"Dad, that's not what I said. It's true that there is no distinction between noble and lowly instruments, but in some places, such as formal recitals, there are violins and cellos, but there are no guitars!"
Anne didn't seem to see Father An's displeasure, and said slowly.
She, this is also a tribute to her parents.
Back then, Anshine also said countless times that she liked to draw and wanted to paint, and she also had a talent for it.
But he was ruthlessly stopped by his parents.
If you follow Father An's words, they are all learning, and there is no need to divide them into three, six, nine, and so on.
An's father and mother could have ordered Anshini to give up art, so Annie also had a reason to let An's father stop playing the guitar and learn more "elegant" instruments.
Father: ......
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything to refute it.
Because my daughter has some truth in saying that those formal recitals and choirs do have violin and other instruments, and the guitar seems to be more suitable for popular music.
"Dad, I'm a great painter, and the people I associate with are basically artists. Playing the guitar? You're not one of those Beatles, you're young, don't play this kind of vulgar stuff. ”
Anne smiled warmly and gently, but the words she said were very hurtful, "Let's learn a violin, or a cello, that one is very high-grade." ”
Father An was aggrieved and unwilling, pursed his lips, lowered his head and refused to speak.
"Dad, if you don't speak, I'll take it as if you agree. I have a violin teacher for you, who is a top student at Juilliard, who is employed by a state orchestra and has a special specialty. ”
"Of course, the tuition fees are also expensive. But it's nothing. As long as you study hard, when you attend parties in the future, you can show off in front of people, and I will be satisfied!"
Father An endured and endured, and finally nodded weakly.
Learning, learning the violin, the violin, the right to pass the time.
"Mom, don't you like to dance? But square dancing is definitely not good, or let's learn to dance Latin dance, we can dance alone, and some dance movements are similar to square dances. ”
Anne saw that Ann's father agreed, and turned her head to look at Ann's mother again.
"La, Latin dance?" An's mother was a little confused.
In fact, she doesn't like dancing very much, she used to dance square dances, more just to join in the fun and find a group of people of similar age to pass the time. By the way, twist your butt and shake your arms to the music.
Let her really learn professional dance, she, she is actually a little resistant.
It's all old arms and legs, and the body is not flexible, and then think about the Latin dance moves seen on TV, An's mother's first reaction is "It's so difficult"!
She doesn't want to learn!
"That's right, Latin dance is a serious national standard dance, if you dance well, you can still participate in competitions and earn honors. Dancing this is much more stylish than dancing any square dance. ”
Anne didn't seem to see the resistance in Ann's mother's eyes, and continued to smile.
"But, but I'm sixty years old—" An's mother's expression was embarrassed.
Anne said seriously, "Mom, age is not a problem, the key is whether you want to learn or not!"
This is also familiar.
An's mother was in a trance again.
"Mom, think about it, you and my dad went to my friend's party, my friend's mom and dad were discussing some dance competition, music salon, and you and my dad had nothing to say, so we could only sit in the corner and act as a set board. ”
"I don't feel ashamed, I'm just afraid that you and my dad will be excluded from the circle. We are not the same as before, and we will be an art family in the future. As the parents, you two should take the lead. ”
"Mom, I know it's not an easy thing for you and my dad. But in life, people must endure some, and no one can do what he wants. ”
"Just like me, when I was a child, I didn't even have time to play with children my age in order to study. Playgrounds, even more rarely. As for toys and cartoons, they are all ......"
Anne crossed her fingers and said, "Dad, Mom, you two are my parents, what I could do back then, you two will definitely be able to do it!"
Ashini's childhood was the most controlled by her parents.
There is no entertainment, no playmates, just a variety of study and interest classes.
She also cried and protested, but her parents ignored her.
Seeing that she was crying pitifully, when An's father and mother coaxed her, they didn't forget to add: "We are all for your good." Watching TV will make you short-sighted, playing with toys will make you lose your mind, and playgrounds and so on have potential safety hazards...... If you have time to play with children, you might as well learn more useful things. It's nothing to suffer when you are a child, don't suffer again when you grow up!"
Anne returned these to her parents intact.
Father & Mother: ......
They all seem to have thought about the past, too.
Yes, at that time, when Shishi was forced by them to give up entertainment and all kinds of learning, she was just a child.
And they're all in their sixties, so they can't even be as good as a child.
Okay, then let's learn!
No matter how reluctant An's father and mother were, they all gritted their teeth and endured it.
But soon, they discovered that their pain was just beginning.
Because as long as you study, you will have grades, and as long as you have grades, there will be competition.
And they, unfortunately, lose out in the competition every time.
They begin to slack off, want to be lazy, or even give up, and then they will be lectured by their daughters with all kinds of serious words and hatred.
"Dad, Mom, I'm busy painting and making money every day, it's hard enough, can't you let me save some heart?"
"If you look at other people's parents, they never need their children to watch, they will take the initiative to improve!"
"Dad, you haven't passed the exam this time? What the hell is going on? Did you not listen to the teacher carefully and practice seriously?"
"Mom, in this community ballroom dance competition, you won the penultimate again, oops, they are all the same elderly people, others can win the first, why do you only take the penultimate number?"
"Did you know that your and my dad's tuition fees are billed by the hour, and they cost hundreds of dollars per hour. ”
"Mom and Dad, I know you work hard, but no matter how hard you work, can you have me to make money to support your family?"
"Dad, Mom, don't blame me for being strict with you, I, it's all for your ......"
