Luo Xiangdong is really capable. I thought he could only finish the first half of the song, but who knew that he had to finish the whole song. Of course. The whole song is not on time. Sometimes I wonder, does he not hear the tune or can't keep up with it? How can you perfectly avoid the original accompaniment
After singing, Luo Xiangdong was also somewhat self-aware, and he reached out to touch his nose awkwardly. He rarely felt so unsure of himself. I felt even more distressed when I saw it.
My dad is such a warm-hearted person. He turned his head to look at Luo Xiangdong and said seriously: "It's very good. What are you embarrassed about?"
Luo Xiangdong smiled stiffly. Said: "Let uncle laugh."
My dad said: "It's okay, we are in this house. No one is a singer, so no one needs to laugh at anyone."
My mother looked at Luo Xiangdong like a teacher and said, "Xiangdong, in fact, you don't sing out of tune, you just don't follow the tune."
Luo Xiangdong's smile became even more embarrassing, and he said, "Yes. I usually don't sing in tune."
I couldn't help laughing while sitting next to him, and Luo Xiangdong squeezed my hand. I could feel that he was really embarrassed.
My mother said, "Come on. Xiangdong, you sing a cappella for Auntie, and I'll listen."
Luo Xiangdong: "..."
I:"… "
My dad said, "Okay, this kid doesn't like singing, why do you have to force him to do it?"
My mother said: "Xiang Dong has a nice voice. As long as you find the tune, you will have no problem singing. Come, Auntie will help you tune it."
Luo Xiangdong squeezed my hand again and asked me for help. I had to say to my mother: "Can you change your obsessive-compulsive disorder after all these years? He is not your student, so don't force him."
My mother skipped me, looked directly at Luo Xiangdong and asked: "Xiangdong, did auntie force you?"
This question... Luo Xiangdong raised the corners of his lips and replied bravely: "No..."
My mother said that her one-size-fits-all personality has long been a habit. No matter how hard my father and I explain it to Luo Xiangdong, my mother will have to train Luo Xiangdong.
Luo Xiangdong also took the risk, picked up the microphone and sang half of the song acapella without accompaniment. My mother was very serious and explained the problems to Luo Xiangdong one by one. Then, as if coaxing a child, she ordered him again with accompaniment and asked him to sing.
I have never seen Luo Xiangdong look like this. I obviously feel disgusted in my heart, but I still have to bite the bullet and do it. It’s not enough to just do it, you have to accompany it with a smile.
He has always been the only one to look at his face, but now there are really people he has to lift and coax. For a few seconds, I felt a little jealous of my mother.
My mother was using coercion and inducement, while Luo Xiangdong was trying to catch up. My father and I have been watching the excitement from the sidelines. After being trained by my mother for half an hour, Luo Xiangdong really gradually found his tune.
Luo Xiangdong sang with a microphone, and my mother clapped her hands to play the rhythm for him. Luo Xiangdong glanced at my mother's gestures from time to time, and kept his eyes on the lyrics on the screen, which was really confusing.
After finally singing a song with the accompaniment, the three of us as a family applauded warmly as if we were celebrating the return of Hong Kong.
Luo Xiangdong was also relieved and quickly put down the microphone, as if it was a hot potato that he would never take again.
My mother said: "Look, isn't this a pretty good song?"
My dad was also praising me. Luo Xiangdong looked away awkwardly. The light in the private room was dim. I held his hand and teased him: "Are you blushing?"
Luo Xiangdong pinched me and I couldn't stop laughing.
After playing in the private room for a long time, my mother accidentally looked at the time and said in surprise: "It's already so late?"
I thought to myself, that’s not it. She was singing high, and Luo Xiangdong and I were so tired that we sat aside and cheered and sang along. Now our throats were burning and almost smoking.
My dad said: "Let's go, it's almost twelve o'clock."
It was past midnight when we got home. My mother, without exception, sent Luo Xiangdong to live next door. However, after yesterday's experience, Luo Xiangdong didn't care at all. Before leaving, he hooked the door on me and Luo Xiangdong appeared at the door.
I just wanted to wink at him and ask him why he was here. As a result, he reached out and handed me a mobile phone charging cable, then raised his eyes in the direction of my mother and said in surprise: "Auntie, you're still up so late?"
My mother greeted Luo Xiangdong: "I was about to sleep, but I was woken up by Zi Jin."
Luo Xiangdong said: "She left the charger of her mobile phone with me. She just called to pick it up. I will bring it to her."
From the corner of my eye, I glanced at the phone screen, which still showed the call in progress, and praised Luo Xiangdong in my heart, how smart he is! He is simply a witty boy who saved me from embarrassment and trouble.
In this way, it was logical that my mother also dispelled her doubts.
Of course, tonight's private meeting with Luo Xiangdong was completely ruined.
After Luo Xiangdong left, my mother said to me without forgetting her repeated instructions: "Nowadays, many young people live together before marriage. It's too late for you to do it first. If I don't agree, it's too late. But you remember, a woman's only capital is you." Now that you’ve given it away, it’s not up to you whether they want you or not.”
I said, "How dare he not want me?"
My mother said nonchalantly: "Don't take anything I say to you seriously now. Anyway, I've run out of nice things to say, so I'm just reminding you. The more you hand over, the less you'll have left. Wait. When you don’t have anything, whether someone wants you or not depends on your mood.”
Other mothers are soft-spoken, but my mother has always been rude to me. What she said didn't sound nice, and I knew she was doing it for my own good, but I still rebelled and thought that if Luo Xiangdong married me in the future, she would be unfounded.
If my father hadn't raised his voice in the bedroom and said, "Go to bed quickly, stay up half the night, is this going to end?" My mother might have had to educate me for more than half an hour on a whim.
I was caught when I failed to smuggle in, and I was scolded for so long. I went back to the guest bedroom angrily. I was so worried in my heart.
My body is exhausted, but when I close my eyes, my nerves are still beating and I am struggling to rest. I came back to what my mother said: the more you give away, the less you have left. When there is nothing on your end, whether someone wants you or not depends on their mood.
I had sworn before that Luo Xiangdong would definitely marry me, but when I calmed down in the dead of night, I started to murmur in my heart again.
I'm still a soft-spoken person.
