Chapter 9 I Love Music, and I Love You Too!

The next day is Friday.

At six in the morning, Li Qian opened his eyes on time.

During the years when he was making music, his habit was to go to bed at six in the morning and wake up at two or three in the afternoon, but during the years of filming and television dramas, his habit became to go to bed at twelve in the evening and wake up at six in the morning. And if this job is changed to a prop artist or a director assistant, he needs to go to bed at 2 o'clock in the evening and get up at 5 o'clock in the morning-no one is more difficult than the other, because everyone is also very difficult.

As for now, he can go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening and wake up at six o'clock in the morning.

For Li Qian, who has been a man for two lifetimes, this kind of abundant time is already a kind of happiness in itself.

Of course, after more than ten years of hard work, Li Qian has long lost the habit of staying in bed.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was fully awake within a few seconds, and then he got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth.

Li's father and Li's mother usually get up at 6:30, and only on Saturdays and weekends, they will get up half an hour later. Li Qian was ready to go out after tidying up. There was still no movement in the master bedroom, so he went out by himself without waiting for them to get up.

Downstairs, he started jogging.

In recent days, he has resumed the habit of exercising every morning.

About a thousand meters away from Shengshi Garden, there is a park called Mingqinquan Park. Well, Jinan Prefecture has always been known as "Seventy-two Famous Springs", Mingqin Spring is not one of them, so the park is not big.

It was past six o'clock in the morning, and there were not many people in the park. When Li Qian ran to the park, his whole body was already hot, and he purposely moved around for a while, stretching all his muscles and bones before he started punching.

The boxing he practiced is not a famous martial art, but a set of boxing without a name. He learned it from a big brother who was a pipe tool in the crew when he was working with a TV drama group. According to the big brother, this boxing method It has been passed down to him for the eighth generation, but he only has one daughter, so it cannot be passed on. Since Li Qian is sincerely willing to learn, he is also willing to teach.

Later, he met intermittently in several film crews, and he continued to study intermittently. He studied for four years before he finished his studies. The girlfriend went to pay New Year's greetings to that big brother, and they treated each other as relatives, regardless of whether they were apprentices or masters.

According to the big brother, this boxing method was originally created for killing people, but now the world is peaceful, and the martial arts are prohibited, and the killing skills are no longer suitable for ordinary people, so the big brother made it clear when he was teaching it. , this boxing method is derived from external force to generate internal strength, but you don't have to practice for that goal, just treat it as a set of radio gymnastics on weekdays. I usually have time to play a dozen, and the right is to keep fit. When it really comes to the critical moment, don't look at it as an empty air, beating a little hooligan or something, it's okay - that's it, Li Qian didn't expect to become a peerless master at first, what he wanted was to keep fit, and by the way, he was filming a fight scene Sometimes I can have a little foundation or something.

The boxing method that he was familiar with in his previous life is a little raw in this life. Don't look at Li Qian who has loved sports since he was a child. He plays basketball and football. He is decent, but the coordination of muscles and bones is still not up to the mark Finish the requirements of this set of punches smoothly. But once raw and cooked twice, after typing three times in a row, at least it looks a little bit better.

Li Qian still used it as a radio gymnastics practice all his life, and he was not in a hurry to improve. After punching three times, his body was covered in sweat. He rested for a while to catch his breath, and then walked back slowly.

When I got home, it was already 7:30, and Li's mother had already prepared breakfast. Seeing Li Qian came back, she immediately started eating.

"Hey, mom, did you win the lottery or you gave me a baby brother, why did you still make steamed dumplings?"

After a morning of activities, Li Qian was already hungry. When he saw two plates of hot steamed dumplings on the dining table, he squeezed one and stuffed it into his mouth. He wanted to squeeze the second one, but Mama Li slapped him away, "Go! , covered in stinky sweat, go take a shower before you come to eat... You say who is your mouth like, why are you so poor? Your father and I can’t speak with your mouth!"

Li Qian chuckled twice, and hurried to take a shower.

When he came back from the shower and sat down at the dining table, he realized that his parents hadn't eaten and were waiting for him.

Li Qian looked left and right, "Dad, Mom, this is... is there really something wrong?"

Li's mother looked at Li's father when she heard the words, but Li's father seemed hesitant to speak.

This feeling, not only is there something wrong, but it seems that something is not small.

Li Qian was already touching his chopsticks, but when he saw this, he put it down again, put away his hippie smile, and sat upright, looked to the left, then looked again, and said: "Dad, my mother Could it be that she is really pregnant?"

One sentence made Father Li's original hesitation disappear. Teacher Li, who always pays attention to spring wind and rain, instantly threw away the gentleness he had kept for who knows how many years, and raised his hand to hit him. Fortunately, Li Qian flashed fast. The slap was missed.

Li's mother also looked unhappy, and complained: "My child, your father wants to tell you something serious, so don't be serious!"

Li Qian raised his hands in surrender, sat back, and said, "Okay, okay, then tell me, I'll listen."

Father Li was furious, thought for a while, and said: "You are not young anymore, you are seventeen, and you are starting to have your own opinions on everything, so, when we two talk, Dad won't play around with you, and you Don't make a foolish smile, okay?"

This time Li Qian really became serious, nodded, and said, "Okay, Dad, tell me!"

Father Li stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the table twice, finally couldn't hold back, took out a cigarette and lit it, this time Mother Li didn't complain, instead she took an ashtray and put it in Father Li before.

After taking a few puffs, Dad Li flicked the cigarette ash, and finally said, "I've finished talking to your mother about your songwriting, and we discussed it for a long time last night, but I still want to ask your opinion. You Do you really like music and plan to engage in this industry in the future? Or is it just a temporary interest for fun?"

Li Qian thought for a while after hearing this, and replied seriously: "Now, I'm still just a high school student, don't care about what I want to do in the future, it's just practice now, even if it's for fun, it can be regarded as preparing for the future. Waiting for the future , I graduated from high school and even college, and if given the chance, I would like to do this.”

Father Li nodded, took another two puffs of cigarettes, and said, "Your mother and I are not old-fashioned. We are both people who like literature and art. You must understand this, right? Look, you are not old. A little bit, we both want to cultivate your artistic cells, and bought you a guitar specially, right?"

After finishing speaking, he still looked at Li Qian seriously, as if he was waiting for him to nod his head to approve his words.

If it were seventeen-year-old Li Qian, hearing his parents talk to him so heart-to-heart, he would probably start to get impatient. He is also used to seeing people with good intentions and evil intentions in this world, of course he can understand why his parents have to talk about this with him patiently and around the corner.

Even at this moment, he saw a trace of anxiety in Dad Li's eyes.

Yes, thinking about it carefully, it seems that when I announced to my parents that I was going to form a band, I also vaguely saw such a familiar look in their eyes.

Just apprehensive.

They love their sons, they are willing to make their sons better, and they are even willing to give their all for their sons, so of course they want their sons to follow his own wishes to pursue those favorite things and careers he loves. However, whether it comes from their own experience or what they have seen and gained from decades of life experience, they all know that the career their son loves is really not a good choice.

I love music, it's easy to say.

Love art, this word sounds great.

However, there are too many children in this world who love music and art, but there are too few who can really embark on this path and achieve certain results in the end.

As little as one ten thousandth or one hundred thousandth.

As parents, when they have foreseen the difficulties ahead in this industry, how can they not remind their sons? How could they resist trying to change their son's mind?

But at the same time, they knew very well that it was very difficult to change a person's mind, even his own son's mind, not to mention that he was in adolescence—a period of incomparable rebellion.

Therefore, they know that they must do it, they must try to change, try to reverse, at least it is a reminder, but they also know that when they do it, what they receive may not be the ideal result.

Silent defiance? That would have been a better ending.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, how many boys and girls are strongly dissatisfied with their parents, or run away from home. Or even turned against each other?

Therefore, they are uneasy.

It's just that they don't know that the current Li Qian is no longer the former Li Qian.

The hard work of more than 30 years of rough life in the previous life gave Li Qian a mature mind that far surpassed that of his peers. At this moment, facing Father Li's probing gaze, he has a firm expression and a calm gaze.

"Dad, I understand what you mean." He said.

Father Li was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at Mother Li, both of whom were a little stunned.

"You... understand what?" Father Li asked.

Li Qian smiled and said: "I love music, and this will not change. I will continue to practice and accumulate energy, and this will not change. However, I will first ensure that I can be admitted to a public school. University, well, preferably a public university in BJ. So... do you think it's okay?"

Father Li was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking for a moment with a frown, he sighed, raised his hand and put out the cigarette in the ashtray.

Then, he held up three fingers, "In the final exam, get into the top 30 in the class. Your mother and I will not interfere with what you do during the summer vacation! But, when you enter the third year of high school, you must not be lower than the top 3 in each monthly exam." Top ten, end-of-year exam, top twenty, and keep it until before the college entrance examination... okay?"

Li's father and Li's mother's eyes fell on Li Qian at the same time. Li's mother seemed to be afraid of putting too much pressure on her son, and she encouraged her son specially: "Xiaoqian, think about it a few years ago, when you were in junior high school, that exam Isn’t it the top ten or the top five? After entering the key class of the thirteenth middle school, you can also maintain the top ten, at least the top twenty, right? You are very smart, so there must be no problem, right? "

Then Dad Li also said: "Don't blame Mom and Dad for interfering with you. From your performance, speaking, and doing things recently, Dad can feel that you are much more mature than before. Telling your mother about these painstaking efforts, right? We don’t ask much, just hope that watching you enter the university, you won’t lose out to other peers at the initial stage...Of course, even if you are admitted to the university , Dad still thinks that music is only suitable as a hobby, and it is really not suitable for a career. Those stars look beautiful, but you can't just stare at them. You should think about how many people belong to them. It is only failure that leads to the success of that person! For example, your father and I, I like writing, is that right? But what is my occupation? I am a Chinese teacher!"

The more Li's father talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more he seemed to start a long story, so Li's mother nudged him.

As a result, Dad Li's "Teaching the Son" came to an abrupt end.

Li Qian smiled and said: "Dad, I know you must be full of doubts now, but give me some time, okay? At least if I guarantee my academic performance and I can be admitted to university, don't interfere with my music making." Okay? I assure you and my mother that I will succeed! Of course... Of course, um, there is no final exam, this monthly exam, I will be in the top 30, and then, as you wish, in the future Every test result, I will at least meet your requirements! But don't interfere with me, okay?"

Father Li turned his head and looked at Mother Li, tapped his fingers on the table a few times slowly, and then nodded solemnly, "I still maintain my opinion, I don't support or encourage you to engage in music. But, As long as you can achieve the grades I require, your mother and I have no objection!"

With a bright smile on Li Qian's face, he stood up and walked between his parents, hugged the two of them with one hand, and kissed them hard on the face one by one.

Seeing his father wiping his saliva with a disgusted and disgusted expression, the smile on Li Qian's face suddenly became brighter.

"Deal!" he said. "I love music, but I love you guys too!"
