Perfect Life

The next day is Friday.

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

In the years of 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 in the years of filming and filming, his habit became to go to bed at twelve in the evening and wake up at six in the morning. And if the job is changed to a prop engineer or assistant director, he needs to go to bed at 2 o'clock in the evening and wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning - no one is harder than anyone else, because everyone is equally hard.

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

For Li Qian, who has lived in two lives, this kind of time is already a kind of happiness in itself.

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

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

Mom and Dad usually get up at 6:30. Only on Saturdays and weekends do they get up half an hour late. After Li Qian finished packing, he was ready to go out. There was no movement in the master bedroom, so he went out by himself without waiting for them to get up.

Going 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 is called "Seventy-two Famous Springs", and the Mingqin Spring is not listed, so the park is not big.

At six o'clock in the morning, there were not many people in the park. When Li Qian ran to the park, his whole body was already hot, and he deliberately exercised for a while, moving all the muscles and bones all over his body, and then he punched.

The boxing method he practiced was not a famous martial art, but a boxing method without a name. He learned it from a big brother who was a plumbing tool when he was working with a TV drama crew. According to the big brother, this boxing method It was already the eighth generation when it was passed on to him, but he only had one daughter, so he couldn't pass it on any longer. Since Li Qian sincerely wanted to learn, he was also willing to teach.

Later, he met intermittently in several production crews, and he also studied intermittently. He studied for four years before he was finished. During the festivals, as long as he was not too busy to touch the ground, Li Qian would take the girl with him. When friends go to pay New Year's greetings to the big brother, they treat each other as relatives, regardless of apprentices and masters. Friendship is all in the heart.

According to the big brother, this boxing method was originally created for killing people, but now the world is at peace, and the martial arts are banned, and the killing skills are no longer suitable for ordinary people to grasp, so the big brother explained it clearly when he taught it. , This boxing method is derived from external force to generate internal energy, but you don't have to practice it with that goal in mind, just treat it as a set of broadcast gymnastics on weekdays. I usually play a dozen when I have time, so I can keep fit. When it really comes to a critical time, don't look at it as an empty air, fight a little hooligan or something, there is no problem - that's it, Li Qian didn't expect to become a peerless master, all he wanted was fitness, and by the way when filming Can have some foundation or something.

The boxing style that I was very familiar with in my last life is a bit raw in this life. Don't look at this Li Qian who has loved sports since he was a child. He plays basketball and football, all of which are decent, but the coordination of muscles, bones and muscles is still not up to the level. Complete the requirements of this set of punches smoothly. But once it was cooked twice, and after being beaten three times in a row, at least it looked more or less like it.

Li Qian still used it as a radio gymnastics exercise in his life, and he was not in a hurry to make progress. After punching three times, he was covered in stinky sweat.

When I got home, it was already 7:30. Ma Li had already made breakfast. When Li Qian came back, she immediately started dinner.

"Yo, Mom, did you win the lottery or did you conceive a younger brother for me? Why did you make steamed dumplings?"

On the morning of the event, Li Qian was already hungry. When he saw two hot steamed dumplings on the dinner table, he immediately squeezed one into his mouth and tried to squeeze the second, but was slapped away by Li Ma, "Go. , sweating all over, take a shower first and then eat... Who do you think your mouth is, why are you so stinky and poor? Even with your dad, you can't talk with your mouth!"

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

When he came back from the bath and sat down at the dining table, he found out that his parents didn't even eat, they were all waiting for him.

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

When Ma Li heard the words, she looked at Dad Li, but Dad Li seemed to be hesitant to say anything.

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

Li Qian had already touched his chopsticks, but when he saw this, he put it down again, and put away the smirk on his hippy face, with a serious look of sitting upright, looked left, looked again, and said, "Dad, my mother Isn't she really pregnant?"

In one sentence, Dad Li's original hesitation disappeared. Teacher Li, who always pays attention to the spring breeze and the rain, instantly threw away the gentleness that he had kept for an unknown number of years, and raised his hand to fight. Fortunately, Li Qian flashed quickly. The slap didn't hit.

Ma Li also looked unhappy and complained, "This child, your father wants to tell you the right thing, don't be right!"

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

Dad Li was very angry, he thought about it, and said, "You are not too young, you are seventeen, and you start to have your own opinions on everything, so when we talk to you, Dad won't go around in circles with you, and you Don't be so funny, don't be right, okay?"

Li Qian was really serious this time. He nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, tell me!"

Dad Li reached out and tapped on the table twice, but he couldn't hold back and took out a cigarette to light it. This time, Mom Li didn't complain, but went to get an ashtray and put it in Dad Li. before.

After taking a few puffs, Dad Li played the cigarette ashes, and finally said, "I've finished talking to your mother about your songwriting. We also 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 business in the future? Or is it just a passing interest, just for fun?"

Li Qian thought for a while after hearing the words, and replied seriously: "Now, I'm just a high school student, don't worry about what I want to do in the future, it's just practice now, even if it's just playing, it's still preparing for the future. Wait for the future. , I graduated from high school, and even graduated from college, and if I have the opportunity, I want to do this."

Dad Li nodded, took two more puffs of cigarettes, and said, "My mother and I are not that old-fashioned way of thinking. We are both people who like literature and art. You must understand this, right? Look, you are not big. Come on, we just wanted to cultivate your artistic skills, and we even bought you a guitar, right?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Qian very seriously, as if waiting for him to nod his head to acknowledge his words.

If Li Qian was seventeen years old, listening to his parents talking to him like this, he would probably start to get impatient, but the current Li Qian is already a person who has been alone in society for more than ten years. He was also used to seeing the kind and malicious people in this world. Of course, he could understand why his parents had to be patient and turn around to chat with him about this.

Even at this moment, he saw a touch of apprehension 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.

It's just apprehension.

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

To love music is a simple statement.

Loving art sounds great.

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

As little as one in ten thousand, one in 100,000.

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 know very well that it is very difficult to change a person's thoughts, even their own son's thoughts, not to mention that he is in adolescence - a period of extremely rebelliousness.

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

Silent resistance? That was already 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. Even turned against each other?

So, they were apprehensive.

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

The 30-plus years of hard work in the last life made Li Qian possess a mature mind even far beyond that of his peers. At this moment, facing Li's father's inquiring gaze, his expression was firm and calm.

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

Dad Li was stunned when he heard the words, then turned around and looked at Li Ma, both of them were a little stunned.

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

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

Dad Li was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he sighed, raised his hand and put out the cigarette in the ashtray.

Then, he raised three fingers, "The final exam, the top 30 in the class, what are you going to do in the summer vacation, my mother and I will not interfere with you! However, when entering the third year of high school, every monthly test must not be lower than the top three Ten, year-end exams, top 20, and keep it until the college entrance examination... can you?"

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 even encouraged him: "Xiao Qian, think about the previous years, when you were in junior high school, that exam Isn't it the top ten or the top five? If you enter the key class of No. 13 Middle School, you can keep the top ten, or at least the top twenty, right? You are very smart, so there must be no problem, right? "

Dad Li then said, "Don't blame Mom and Dad for interfering with you. From your recent performance, words, and actions, Dad can feel that you are more mature than before, so Dad thinks that you should be able to understand today's me. It's so hard to tell your mom about this, right? We don't ask for much, we just hope that you won't lose out to other peers at the beginning stage when you are admitted to college... Of course, even if you go to college, Dad still thinks that music is only suitable as a hobby, it is really not suitable for a career, those stars look beautiful, but you can't just stare at them, you should think about it , How many people's failures finally made that person's success! For example, your father and me, I like writing, isn't that right? But what is my occupation? It's a Chinese language teacher!"

The more Dad Li talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more he wanted to talk about it at length, so Mama Li touched him with her elbow.

So, Dad Li's "The Godson" came to an abrupt end.

Li Qian smiled and said, "Dad, I know you must be full of doubts right 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 promise you and my mom, I'll make it! Of course... Of course, um, there's no final exam, this monthly exam, I'll be in the top 30, and then, as you wish, every future I will at least meet your requirements for the results of this exam! But don't interfere with me, okay?"

Dad Li turned his head to look at Mom Li, and tapped his fingers slowly on the table a few times. Then, he nodded solemnly, "I still maintain my opinion. I don't support or encourage you to engage in music. However, As long as you can achieve the grades I require, your mother and I will not object!"

With a bright smile on his face, Li Qian stood up and walked between his parents. He wrapped his arms around the two of them, and kissed them fiercely one by one.

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

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