Yu Kai himself is a salesperson at a training school, earning a basic salary of several thousand yuan. Most of his monthly income comes from the tuition fees of the students he recruits.
Things were fine in the past few years. As the education industry became more and more involved, business was pretty good. From time to time, I could buy some gifts for my wife and children to take home, and the travel and other things were all at the Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand level.
But with the economic downturn in recent years, their industry has also encountered a cold winter, so his income level has also declined year by year, and his pocket has gradually become shy.
No, the child complains to him and his wife every day after school. His classmates can sign up for interesting after-school training such as basketball classes and robotics classes.
But when he came back, he only had to do his homework, because the family was very strict and did not allow him to play mobile games. He could only accompany his parents to watch TV programs he didn't like, or he could only play with other neighbor children in the community. They were beating like crazy.
I thought it was quite interesting at first, but as I grew older, I gradually felt that my behavior was childish and I wanted to improve my expertise and skills.
What he particularly envied was their monitor, Xiao Jing, who had a very high-end piano at home. Every time they went to her house to play, she would play it for everyone, and everyone would be mesmerized by it.
He would mention it to the adults when he got home, but the family is now very tight on his tuition and living expenses, so how can he have the spare money to give him piano lessons?
So I never mentioned this matter.
Today, when Chen Xiaoping was playing Douyin, she saw a video of someone else's child learning piano, so she chatted with Yu Kai.
"Isn't this a bad economy..."
Yu Kai didn't dare to speak loudly, so he muttered a few words to deal with it.
"That's right, I don't know how long your industry can continue to support... I say, you should think about changing careers now. Look at Jiang Kan, wasn't he also unemployed a few years ago? But look at him now. How good is it?"
As Xiao Dong's mother talked, she thought of her husband's old classmates.
"Oh, I have a voice that is blessed by God and has a heavenly voice! Do you, my husband, have this talent?"
When Yu Kai heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"There are always some people in the world that you can't even envy!"
"If everyone had a voice like this, how could singers be so valuable? I can't even read a staff, and I can sing four wrong notes out of seven. Who would listen to me?"
"Pfft!"
When Chen Xiaoping heard this, she burst into laughter.
"That's right, this all depends on talent... Hey, you said that Jiang Kan, you really couldn't tell that he had that talent before? He never showed up when we went to sing K or something, he just stayed at home one day Working overtime to play his game..."
Chen Xiaoping put down her mobile phone and sat on the sofa. Seeing that she was talking happily, Yu Kai had no choice but to cooperate and turn off the TV.
"When we were studying in the past, I didn't find that he had this talent. Even when he sang, it was just a chorus with the class as a group during school activities... Wait! After you said this, I really found out that it was a bit no the same!"
Yu Kai suddenly seemed to remember something, turned over and jumped up from the sofa and sat upright!
"No wonder, I mean, why does our class always come first in the chorus!"
He looked like he had a sudden realization, as if he had solved a century-old mystery!
"We have eight or nine classes in one grade, and there are almost thirty classes in three grades, but our class always takes first place! At that time, our class teacher was still puzzled. None of them looked like the same material. How come they look so awesome together? It turns out the root knot is here!"
Yu Kai clapped his hands and made a loud "pop" sound!
"It turns out there is such a singing god here, holding the sea-fixing needle, isn't that right?"
Then Yu Kai shook his head and sighed with emotion that after so many years, the mystery was finally revealed.
His thoughts suddenly became clear, and he actually felt a little enlightened!
"Hey, you said..."
Chen Xiaoping leaned forward with a smile on her face and rubbed Yu Kai's shoulder.
"What? So mysterious?"
Yu Kai frowned, feeling that his wife was about to act like a monster.
"You said... your buddy is so awesome now, and he has become so prosperous. You, a little brat, helped him a lot in the beginning..."
She raised her eyebrows and made a "you know" expression.
"What do you want to say?"
Yu Kai turned sideways, frowned and looked at her nervously.
"I don't want to say anything. What I want to say is that he is so awesome now, and you have such a good relationship with him... Can you ask him to... help us a little bit? I don't want to fight with him, I am Our son wants to learn piano so much. After all, his place is one of the best music companies in our Xia country. Can you help us think of some ways to find a way to learn piano without spending money? "
After saying that, the child's mother stared at the child's father with bright eyes.
Whenever he dares to say "no"...
"Oh, that's it..."
Yu Kai rolled his eyes.
He thought his wife was planning to ask him to seek alms from Jiang Kan.
The two of them had been playing together since childhood, and he couldn't afford to lose face.
If that's the case, maybe, maybe, maybe... is it really feasible?
"Okay, if it's just like this, maybe there's a possibility... In this way, I'll mention it to him next time I see him. Let me make it clear first, don't place too much hope on him. He just also When I joined that company, I was still a complete newcomer!"
"Haha, a 'newcomer' whose new song can be heard in the streets less than half a month after its release?"
"Don't make a fuss. I know this. Don't go and ask him yourself. I'm warning you!"
"Okay, you have the final say on this matter. You are the pillar of the family!"
…
Jiang Kan didn't know what the two couples were chatting about at home. At this time, on his way downstairs to buy milk tea, he saw a music store and was standing by the window staring at the dazzling array of musical instruments inside.
"System, I remember that I got a skill like... 'Junior Piano Playing' before, right?"
Through the transparent glass window, he looked at a little girl wearing a pure white princess dress sitting inside a gorgeous and clear hall, playing smooth music on a piano that looked like it was worth a lot of money, and suddenly he suddenly Suddenly he remembered that he still had a skill that was left in the corner to gather dust.
"Yes, host, the random skill treasure box you opened before did indeed contain such a skill, but you have never played the piano even once from then until now!"
There was a hint of imperceptible grievance in System's words, as if Jiang Kan had wasted his huge wealth.
"Hey, don't you have time? I've been busy with becoming a singer and signing contracts..."
Jiang Kan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Indeed, if he hadn't passed by this music store, he would have forgotten that he had such a skill.
But his eyes never left the little girl who was playing the piano for a moment.
My daughter Xiaoyuan must have reached the age where she should develop extracurricular interests. I wonder if her greedy mother has found any interest classes for her. Now that the child is far abroad, I don’t know if her academic performance has fallen behind...
