Rebirth in America
Chapter 8 Learning to Sing
The Carpenters are a traditional and conservative family, just like any other American family.
However, according to Alex's observation, Bart's mentality is like that of a child who will never grow up. Normally he is very disciplined and follows the rules, but sometimes he gets crazy and is unbelievable. Bart had no independent opinion, and even the band he founded was quickly controlled by Joe and Paul.
However, Bart's mechanical skills are indeed excellent, and his hands-on ability is also very strong. If something breaks, it can be repaired quickly as long as it is in his hands. 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. Outside the home, she would not interfere with Bart's decisions, but at home, she was the head of the family.
Both Bart and Alex lived a very comfortable and happy life under Angel's care. Things at home are always organized, neat and clean.
Sometimes, Alex even wondered if Bart was overtaken by Angel. Otherwise, with Bart's character, who lives heartlessly all day long, how could he possibly find a woman as good as Angel. He really couldn't imagine how Bart and Angel fell in love. If Bart hadn't been handsome, tall and honest, it would have been difficult for him to start a family.
Angel is so beautiful, with blond hair, big breasts and a smart mind. She probably married Bart because of his honesty. No wonder people say that a beautiful woman is not necessarily happy, but a happy woman must be smart.
After testing his IQ, Alex was busy studying his superpowers. He is becoming more and more proficient in mastering his abilities, especially after exercising for seven minutes a day. He feels that the stronger his body is, the stronger his abilities will be.
When he uses the "retrospective" ability, he will quickly find specific memories through something like a directory. This is a bit like a keyword search, except that the content he searches is his own memory bank. Everything he has experienced has been extracted and separated by him. After compressing the information, the response speed of the "retrospective" ability is getting faster and faster.
As for another derived ability, "simulated memory" is a bit troublesome. Because when simulating other people, the body's limits will be exceeded, and the limits are to protect the body. If overused, it will cause irreversible damage. He discovered this problem after using it a few times, so he was careful not to use it as much as possible.
Even if he wants to use this ability, he will only try to use it when he feels that his limit is far beyond the scope of what he wants to simulate. Once he finds that he has exceeded the limit of his body's functions, he will stop immediately.
As for the mental space he created randomly, this thing is a bit useless. At present, it seems that the biggest use of this mental space is to let Alex be alone, but maintaining the space requires too much energy, and he does not want to be exhausted like this. Another use is to quickly consume energy and then sleep until dawn.
While Alex was busy, Bart was considering whether to train his son to develop in music.
"Angel, I want to discuss something with you!" Finally, Bart planned to talk to his wife about this matter.
Angel looked confused: "What happened?"
Bart had already told Angel about Alex's performance of "Carmen". Unexpectedly, the other party looked calm and showed no surprise at all. Now after taking the test, he realized that Alex's IQ was so high. Now he is bringing up old things again, trying to attract Angel's attention.
Angel said calmly: "I have known for a long time that Alex is a genius. He learns everything very quickly! Is this just what you want to say?"
"No, no! Listen to me!" Bart was a little anxious, and he quickly said: "I mean, since Alex is so talented in music, then I plan to train him to become a musician! At least Become a singer!"
Angel shook his head and said, "Alex came to this world with a mission. Although we are his parents, we cannot interfere too much in his decisions, lest it affect his future."
Bart said with some disapproval: "I don't care what mission he has, I am his father! He has to listen to me!"
"That's not okay!" Angel is a devout Catholic, and she has identified Alex's "resurrection from the dead" as a revelation given to her by God. She felt that she must protect Alex from interference by others.
"Then let's let him make his own decision! Your idea may not be correct!" Bart had no choice but to resort to the last resort.
This proposal was approved by Angel, and she did not want her ideas to interfere with Alex's future path.
"Music?" Alex said a little confused. He had not yet decided which path he would take in the future.
"Yes, do you want to sing? Do you want to be a popular singer?"
Bart was guiding him sincerely. Ever since he discovered his son's musical talent, he had always wanted Alex to learn music.
"Alex, you have to ask yourself if you want to embark on such a path!"
Angel spoke calmly, but she was actually a little nervous. To be honest, she didn't want her child to become a singer. She is not isolated from the world. Various scandals involving singing stars have been reported in the newspapers one after another!
"Singing seems interesting, so I might as well give it a try!"
Alex finally obeyed his desire. He didn't know much about various scandals in the film industry, but every time he saw such news, he would always hate these people deeply, and at the same time, he would be mixed with all kinds of things. envy, jealousy, hate.
As the saying goes, if you can't eat the grapes, you will say the grapes are sour. This mentality is common among people. Now that he has the opportunity to try eating grapes, how can he be pretentious?
After getting Alex's affirmative reply, Bart immediately went to the store and bought a guitar.
Bart thrust the guitar into Alex's hand: "This is for you! Practice hard and I hope you can perform on stage with our band soon!"
Angel was a little happy when she saw Bart looking so happy, as if she had remembered something. So he pulled Bart aside and whispered a few words.
Bart was stunned by Angel's words. He widened his eyes and asked, "You, are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true!" Angel replied, with a mixed feeling in her expression.
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 with joy: "Yes! Alex, you are going to be a brother!"
"Huh?" Alex was completely unprepared. He never thought that he would have a younger brother or sister. At least, I didn’t expect it to be so soon!
Angel asked with a smile: "Do you want a brother or a sister?"
Alex thought for a while and replied: "I want both! My brother wants it too, and my sister wants it too!"
"Haha!" Bart and Angel both laughed. They felt that Alex's answer was too clever.
"But, having more children will make the burden on the family heavier!"
Angel was still a little worried. She hadn't wanted to have a second child so soon, after all, they had just settled down. The cost of raising Alex is not small, and if he has an extra mouth, the cost is not small.
Bart quickly patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will solve the problem! In the worst case, I will just work overtime, and the money will come naturally."
Alex also said from the side: "And me! I can also go to the pub to perform and get some tips back!"
"Then you should hurry up and practice guitar!" Bart said to his son.
Bart first taught Alex how to play the guitar. He was also from a wild background, and the method of teaching was very simple. Just ask Alex to memorize the chords of C, D, DM, EM... and practice them repeatedly until he can press them accurately with his eyes closed.
Then let Alex combine and change these chords at will, strumming freely with his right hand, changing every three times, or changing after four times. When Alex can change back and forth between these chords with his left hand, let him break it down with his right hand, from thick strings to thin strings, and learn the 4/4 time signature and the 3/4 time signature.
Soon Alex was playing in time with the band. He has a very strong sense of rhythm, coupled with his mature mind and ability to be flexible, he was able to rehearse with Bart and others in less than a week.
Old Qiao was very surprised by Alex's performance. He said with a big mouth: "Alex, you are the smartest child I have ever seen! Really, other children at your age are still acting like a baby. Playing!"
Alex looked at Lao Qiao with a smile and said: "Thank you for your compliment! In fact, there are many people better than me. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net For example, Mozart was able to compose music when he was 3 years old! And It’s Chaplin, he was singing and performing on stage when he was 5 years old!”
Everyone laughed when they heard what Alex said, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Everyone knows Alex's intelligence, and his progress after learning music is also obvious to all.
Dill looked at Alex struggling to play the guitar and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I think the most important thing for Alex is not to practice playing the guitar, but to sing!"
Dill's words caused everyone to look at him, so Dill quickly explained: "Look, our team does not lack a guitarist, and Bart is enough. What we lack is a vocalist! If Alex can sing, we The band is sure to attract a lot of crowds.”
Old Joe and Bart thought about it carefully, and it was true. Alex was only over four years old. If he could sing well, it would be a gimmick! Their Owls lead singer was often absent and there was no permanent lead singer!
Bart thought for a while and said awkwardly: "But I don't know how to teach Alex to sing!"
Old Qiao laughed and said, "What's the problem? Just let Paul teach you."
Paul Harrison was an old bartender at a nearby tavern and a member of their band. He can sing, dance and play the accordion.
"Okay! Then I'll go find him later!" Bart nodded and said with a smile on his face.
