Seeing that Xi Xi had regained her interest, Yang Yi struck while the iron was hot. He smiled and asked Xi Xi, "Xi Xi, Daddy wants to discuss something with you, okay?"
"Okay!" The little girl bounced to her little desk and was about to take out her textbooks and homework to do her homework. Hearing her father's words, she curiously turned her little head and said in a cheerful voice.
"Today, your mother and I had a discussion. Because your mother said that now that you're so big, it's time to learn how to play the piano with your mother." Yang Yi said softly.
Xi Xi blinked her eyes, tilted her little head, and asked puzzledly, "But, didn't I learn how to play the piano from Mom? I can play the piano! "
Xi Xi was referring to when she was in the coffee shop or in the studio's recording studio, she would pretend to play on the piano.
Yang Yi laughed, rubbed the little girl's cute little head, and said, "That's not the same. When we talk about learning how to play the piano, we don't mean randomly pressing the keys on the piano. Instead, we want you to be like Daddy, who can use the correct posture to play a beautiful song."
This guy even pulled Xi Xi's little stool to sit down and assumed the posture of playing the piano. He even had an intoxicated look on his face, as if Uncle Fei was singing.
"Hee hee, hee hee!" Xi Xi was amused by her father's exaggerated performance. She grabbed her father's arm, puffed out her little chest, and raised her little head to laugh for a while. Then she crisply responded, "Okay, I want to learn how to play the piano from Daddy!"
Yang Yi was overjoyed, but he still coughed twice, waved his hand, and said, "Xi Xi, don't decide so quickly. Daddy wants to tell you what to do in the future if you want to learn how to play the piano."
Yang Yi's expression became serious. He counted with his fingers and said to Xi Xi, "Right now, we're waiting for you to finish your homework. Then we'll have dinner together and go for a walk."
"And walk Steamed Bun. Steamed Bun will also go for a walk with us!" Xi Xi added eagerly.
"You can't interrupt when others are talking. It's impolite." Yang Yi pinched Xi Xi's little nose and said with a smile, "If you want to talk, you have to wait for me to finish. Understand? "
Although Yang Yi didn't mind, he considered that Xi Xi was talkative. If he allowed her to continue like this, this little girl would easily be annoying in the future. Therefore, Yang Yi wanted to gradually teach Xi Xi some etiquette so that this little girl who couldn't stop herself would learn to "hold back" at appropriate times.
Of course, Yang Yi would not deny Xi Xi the opportunity to tell her story at length. On the contrary, Yang Yi encouraged Xi Xi to continue to tell her story, allowing her to constantly hone her eloquence. However, she had to pay attention to the occasion.
The little girl shrunk her head embarrassedly and giggled.
"After the walk, I usually let you watch TV. Then I'll take a shower, read a book, and sleep." Yang Yi listed out briefly and then said softly, "But there will be a little change in the future. After we come back from the walk, you can also watch cartoons, but you can only watch for an hour. Isn't your cartoon only on until 8: 30? In other words, after 8: 30, we can't watch TV. You can take a shower first, then go downstairs and practice playing the piano. Usually, from Monday to Friday, you have to seriously play the piano for half an hour before you can read a book and sleep. On the weekend, we will choose a free time in the morning or afternoon to practice for an hour. "
Xi Xi looked at her father in surprise. At this time, she felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed!
Yang Yi smiled and said, "So, if you really want to learn how to play the piano, you have to treat it as seriously as you do your homework. Also, I'll tell you the truth. You see how good your parents are, but whether it's learning how to play the piano, learn how to dance, or learn how to sing, it will take a long time and perseverance to practice! Look at your mother, doesn't she wake up every morning to practice her voice? "
Only now did she understand that learning how to play the piano wasn't as simple as playing in front of the piano as she had imagined. It actually required so much practice, and she wouldn't have the opportunity to watch other TV shows with her parents in the future.
Regarding this, Xi Xi couldn't help but be a little absent-minded. After nodding her little head blankly, the little girl carefully grabbed her father's hand and snuggled up to him, who was sitting on her chair. Her eyes were delicate and she looked very delicate.
"Every success isn't easy to come by!" Yang Yi gently stroked Xi Xi's soft hair and gently enlightened her, "Think about it, at the end of last semester, you finally got the first place in class and even received Teacher Li's praise. Was it because you had been paying attention in class and doing your homework seriously? The other children didn't work as hard as you, so they couldn't compare to you. You were the best! "
Her father suddenly talked about his happiest moment. Xi Xi came back to her senses and shyly twisted her body next to her father, giggling.
"It's the same for playing the piano! If you want to be like your parents and be able to play good music, you also need to spend some time practicing hard. " Yang Yi struck while the iron was hot and said, "But you don't have to worry. When you practice the piano, your parents will be by your side, teaching you how to play the piano, and practicing with you. That way, you won't feel lonely."
In fact, Murphy's requirements were even stricter. When she discussed with Yang Yi in the morning, she wanted Xi Xi to learn piano for one or two hours a day, using the standard that Zhou Mengyu had taught her in the past.
"When I was six years old, I could already play the piano and the violin on American TV shows!" Murphy said to Yang Yi at that time, "At that time, I really spent a lot of time learning, and that's how I got to where I am now."
However, Yang Yi didn't want Xi Xi to lose the happiness that she should have. He argued with Murphy for a long time, and in the end, he only allowed Xi Xi to practice the piano for half an hour. Xi Xi's one hour of free time to watch cartoons was reserved. At the same time, Yang Yi also reserved one hour of free time for Xi Xi before she went to bed.
During this one hour, Xi Xi would sometimes video chat with Lu Weisha, talking about interesting things that happened around her. Sometimes, she would take out her dolls to play house. Of course, there was also reading before she went to bed.
It was worth mentioning that Xi Xi would often read books with Tong Tong. Although Tong Tong couldn't understand books, he liked to stick to his sister and listen to her excitedly read the stories in the books.
Compared to other children who were pressured by "heavy" schoolwork, such as Lan Xin, who had a big problem doing homework, and compared to other children who had to make up for various classes, such as Yang Luoqi, who often didn't have time to go to Xi Xi's house to play on weekends, Xi Xi could only practice piano with her parents for half an hour at home. She was already very happy to be able to play freely for the rest of the time!
Although Yang Yi hoped that Xi Xi could grow up to be a very outstanding girl, he also hoped that Xi Xi could have a happy childhood, where the family didn't have to worry about food and clothing. If Xi Xi didn't want to learn piano, Yang Yi wouldn't force her.
Therefore, after some description and persuasion, Yang Yi smiled at Xi Xi and said, "After listening to what Papa said, if you feel that learning piano every day is very tiring and you don't want to learn, it's okay. We can still watch TV together at night like before! But if you still want to learn piano from Papa or Mama, then you have to work hard in the future. You can't give up halfway, or else Papa and Mama will be disappointed. Of course, Papa and Mama still believe that you are a girl with a lot of perseverance. When you play piano in the future, you will be better than Papa and Mama! "
It was rare for Xi Xi to patiently listen to her father's words. She hesitated for a moment, then pouted and said, "I also want to play the piano very well like Papa, but, but I only want Papa to teach me, okay?"
Murphy, who was hiding and eavesdropping nervously, was speechless.
