Chapter 055: The King of Off-Tune Zhao Ran
After seeing his leader off, Shi Yue returned to the office. The first thing he did was to drink from the teacup. It was a hot day, and he had been standing in the sun for so long, and then followed his leader around the factory, so he was already thirsty.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhou also held their cups and drank lavishly. Xiao Zhou drank all the water in the cup in one breath. Finally, his throat felt less dry and itchy, and he had time to gossip.
He patted his chest and said thankfully, "Brother Shi, it's a good thing you asked me to call Wang Dali. It's a good thing Wang Dali came just in time. We were in such a hurry just now. Not even a minute had passed since Wang Dali left when the leaders arrived. If we had been a step slower, Mrs. Hao would have bumped into the leaders!"
"What the hell? What's going on?"
"Has Old Lady Hao come just now?"
"She didn't cause any trouble?"
The other people in the office who were not qualified to go out to greet the leader were all puzzled when they heard this.
"How could that be? Old Lady Hao wouldn't cause trouble!" Xiao Zhou said, "She knelt down before our factory director and told him to take care of Wang Dali..."
"I'm going, aren't I?"
"No, what was she thinking? Letting our factory director take care of Wang Dali and Hao Fang's marriage?"
"She's just a jerk in the head. Who knows what she's thinking?"
Everyone was talking at once, but no one was on Old Lady Hao's side.
The fact that she caused trouble before the leader's inspection and almost prevented the leader from conducting the inspection smoothly was enough to make everyone angry.
Mrs. Hao is not an employee of the machinery factory. Even if she causes trouble, the factory cannot punish her. But they do work in the machinery factory. If they disrupt the leader's inspection, the factory can really deduct their wages!
Let's talk about Mrs. Hao's demands. She has been making a fuss for the past two days just to get the factory to threaten Wang Dali with his job to break up with Hao Fang. However, Wang Dali and Hao Fang are two adult men and women, and they have no other partners. They are in a legitimate relationship. They are not morally corrupt and are not cheating on their partners. The factory has no right to interfere.
This is where the problem lies. The factory has no right to interfere in the affairs of Wang Dali and Hao Fang, nor is it in a position to manage Old Lady Hao.
Say she was causing trouble, but she was just standing at the door; she didn't enter the factory and didn't disrupt production. If the security department arrested her, they would only detain her for two days at most; they couldn't do anything to her. She's not young anymore, and if they arrested her, the factory would be held responsible if anything happened to her.
This is also the reason why everyone was at a loss at the door just now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhou was extremely impressed. He gave him a thumbs up and said, "Brother Shi, you were really quick to react and told me to go find Wang Dali. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of calling her."
Xiao Wang also said: "Yeah, it has to be Brother Shi. His brain is better than ours. Just now, I was so anxious that my brain couldn't think straight, but Brother Shi still thought of Wang Dali!"
Xiao Zhou: "That's why they say Brother Shi is our leader. The factory director just praised Brother Shi."
"Oh my god, the factory director praised me? Brother Shi, you're amazing!"
"Section Chief Shi, you're amazing! You were praised by the factory director, but why didn't you tell anyone?"
"Why is Section Chief Shi always Section Chief Shi? He was praised by the factory director but he kept quiet. If it were me, how could I show off everywhere?"
No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone looked happy for Shi Yue.
Shi Yue waved his hand modestly: "Oh, it's nothing, the factory director just said it casually, I guess he didn't take it to heart."
"Brother Shi, don't be so modest!"
"No, no." Shi Yue: "Hey, well, I've finished the water in this cup. I need to go to the water room to get some more. Is anyone going?"
"No, Brother Shi, go by yourself." "Yes, Brother Shi, you go."
"Okay, since you guys aren't going, I'll go then." Shi Yue carried the kettle out of the office.
As he stepped out of the office, the corners of his mouth turned up. Even though he seemed to not care about the factory director's praise just now, everyone knows how valuable the factory director's praise is!
Even if the factory director said it casually, it is not ordinary!
In addition, he helped the Public Security Bureau catch a scammer some time ago. It would be unreasonable for the factory not to give him a promotion and a raise, right?
Of course, it is estimated that he will not be able to get a promotion. After all, he has only been here for a short time. What's more, there is a Zhao Hui above him, who was promoted to section chief just a few days ago. He cannot replace Zhao Hui's position, and it is even more impossible for him to be promoted above Zhao Hui.
However, a salary increase is still very likely. After catching the scammer last time, he always felt that the factory would give him a salary increase. Secretary Li also told him that the leader would give him a salary increase, but this has not been implemented yet.
Shi Yue touched his chin and estimated that after today, the salary increase would be finalized.
He smiled and shook his head. If Xiaoqiu knew that he was going to get a raise, she would definitely want to celebrate by eating roast chicken. He didn't know why Xiaoqiu loved the roast chicken from the vegetable market so much. She kept asking for it every day. Wasn't she afraid of getting tired of it?
You can't eat good things every day. If Xiaoqiu still asks for roast chicken this time, he will definitely not agree to her request.
Even though Shi Yue said this this time, when Xiao Qiu starts to act coquettishly and make requests to him, his position will definitely not be so firm.
After all, when he loves his child, he really forgets everything. It is only Shi Qiu Shui himself who is sensible.
But even the sensible Shi Qiu Shui couldn't help but feel swelled up at this moment.
Because Shi Qiu Shui was praised!
In front of all the children in the kindergarten, the principal of the kindergarten praised Shi Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran for reporting Chen Dapao to the teacher for stealing money.
"Shi Qiushui and Zhao Ran performed really well this time. When they learned that Chen Dapao had robbed their classmates, they bravely stood up and reported the incident to the teacher. Their actions set a good example for us all. When faced with bullying from older classmates, don't give in, don't be afraid, and dare to fight back. This is something every child should learn."
The headmaster said, "More importantly, children, you should know that bullying and snatching money from children like Chen Dapao is wrong. If you encounter this situation again, I hope you will be as brave as Shi Qiushui and Zhao Ran were this time and speak to the teacher..."
Although Shi Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran skipped classes to file a complaint, the two children did a good deed bravely and helped the elementary school and kindergarten to stop bad incidents, so the principal decided to praise them.
Of course, the principal focused on criticizing Chen Dapao for robbing money, and told the children not to be afraid if they encountered such things, but to bravely tell the teacher.
After all, the results of the investigation were too shocking. Nearly a dozen children in the middle and senior classes of the kindergarten had their money robbed by Chen Dapao!
There are no small classes because the children in small classes are too young and have no pocket money.
More than a dozen children had their money robbed, but their teachers and principals didn't even know about it. This is a huge mistake in their work!
So the head teacher specially used the break time today to cultivate the children's awareness of self-protection.
Shi Qiushui was already very happy to be praised in front of all the children in the kindergarten and receive so many admiring glances. What made her even happier was that after the break, when they returned to the classroom, Teacher Xiaolin smiled and announced that because Shi Qiushui and Zhao Ran had bravely reported to the teacher and stopped the unhealthy trend on campus, she decided to give Shi Qiushui and Zhao Ran thirty red flowers!
Little red flower!!!
Although Shi Qiu Shui is almost an adult in his heart and does not think that the little red flowers in kindergarten are that important, other children attach great importance to the little red flowers, so Shi Qiu Shui was brought up to care about the little red flowers as well.
She is still upset because half of her red flower was deducted yesterday.
Now Teacher Kobayashi has added thirty red flowers to her. The number of her red flowers is even more than before they were deducted. She has become one of the children with the most red flowers in the class!
In fact, Zhao Ran has more red flowers than Shi Qiu Shui. He is the child with the most red flowers. But Zhao Ran is much calmer. Unlike Shi Qiu Shui, he doesn't show off his bulging belly in front of the wall with the number of red flowers written on it.
But Shi Qiu Shui doesn't care what others do. She is just very happy and proud now. She has so many little red flowers!
Children in kindergarten are not as thoughtful as adults. When they know that Shi Qiu Shui was praised and rewarded with a red flower, they do not feel jealous but only express their admiration sincerely.
The one who admired Shi Qiushui the most was Xiaopang, who had long since recognized him as the boss. Standing next to Shi Qiushui with sparkling eyes, he exclaimed, "Boss, you're so awesome! You have so many little red flowers! So many more than I have!"
Because Xiaopang couldn't help but interrupt during class, Teacher Xiaolin took away all the red flowers he had earned. Compared with the thirty red flowers that Shi Qiushui had just been given, he looked so pitiful.
Little Taozi: "Hey, Xiaopang, you still have the nerve to compare yourself to me? You only have a few little red flowers!"
Xiaopang scratched his head: "I have few little red flowers, but my boss has a lot, right, boss!"
Shi Qiu Shui nodded, and her big round eyes narrowed into crescents due to her smile.
Little Taozi pushed Xiaopang away with her butt, "Go away, what does Xiaoqiu's little red flower have to do with you?"
She came up to Shi Qiushui and said, "Xiaoqiu, you have so many little red flowers, you can stand in the middle during the performance!"
What Xiao Taozi was talking about was the performance at the Children's Day party.
Because the program that Class (2) was going to perform at the Children's Day party was a chorus, all the children in the class had to go on stage. When they were lining up, several children wanted to stand in the middle. In order to prevent the children from arguing, Teacher Kobayashi stipulated that the children should line up according to the number of red flowers, and the one with the most red flowers should stand in the middle.
Shi Qiushui opened his round eyes wide, and said with full joy: "Oh, that's right!"
If she is ranked by the number of red flowers, she can stand in the middle!
She said happily, "I can stand in the middle, and my dad can see me at a glance!"
Parents will be invited to attend the kindergarten’s Children’s Day party.
Xiao Taozi: "If you stand in the middle, my dad will be able to see you at a glance!"
Xiaopang: "And my dad!"
Shi Qiushui said in a soft voice, "It's okay. Even if you don't stand in the middle, your dad will look for you first."
She believed that if she didn't stand in the middle, her father would look at her first.
Xiaopang shook his head: "My dad won't do that. He always says at home that he's tired of seeing me and that he wants to see other people's well-behaved daughters."
Shi Qiushui: ...ah this...
Just as she was thinking about whether to say something to comfort Xiaopang, Xiaopang waved his hand very casually: "But I don't care whether he looks at me or not. I can't gain weight if he looks at me."
Shi Qiushui: ...
Okay.
During the rehearsal in the music classroom in the afternoon, Teacher Kobayashi announced that Shi Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran would stand in the middle of the team. However, because they were both quite tall, they could not stand in the first row, otherwise they would not be able to see the children behind them.
They were eventually placed in the middle of the second row of the choir.
Although he was in the second row, Shi Qiu Shui was still very satisfied.
After lining up, Teacher Xiaolin led everyone to sing. Her fingers danced on the piano keys, and beautiful music flowed out. Her sweet voice sang: "Golden clothes are worn on the body~"
The children sang along: "Wearing golden clothes~"
Teacher Xiaolin nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Stand tall and full of strength~"
The children said in baby voices: "Stand straight and full of strength~"
In this way, Teacher Kobayashi sang a line and the children followed suit, and they sang the whole song several times. After they finished singing, the children had a general impression of the lyrics. Then Teacher Kobayashi stopped singing and only played the piano, letting the children sing by themselves.
"Wearing golden clothes, I stand tall and full of strength."
Shi Qiu Shui was singing loudly, but suddenly she felt something was wrong. She glanced left and right, as she felt like the person next to her was singing out of tune.
Shi Qiu Shui frowned, confused. She looked around and finally set her eyes on Zhao Ran who was standing next to her.
Well, that’s right, the one who was out of tune was Zhao Ran!
Shi Qiu Shui widened his eyes, shining brightly, and looked straight at Zhao Ran, like the Black Cat Sheriff who had finally caught the criminal.
Zhao Ran, feeling the burning gaze:???
His confused eyes met Shi Qiushui's, and Shi Qiushui silently hinted with his lips: "You're out of tune!"
Zhao Ran: “Ah?”
Shi Qiushui: "You're out of tune!"
Zhao Ran still didn't understand Shi Qiushui's lip movements: "Ah?"
Shi Qiushui: ...
She rolled her eyes: Let’s talk about it later!
When the song ended, Teacher Xiaolin clapped her hands in satisfaction and said, "Good, kids, you did a great job. There are just a few minor problems, but don't worry, we will correct them later. Now let's take a break. If you need to go to the toilet, go to the toilet. If you need to drink water, come to me, Teacher Xiaolin, and I will take you to drink water~"
"Teacher Kobayashi, I want to drink some water~"
"I want one too~"
The other children all dispersed to go play, and Shi Qiushui was finally able to talk to Zhao Ran. She puffed up her cheeks and said, "Zhao Ran, you were out of tune just now!"
Zhao Ran opened his mouth, pointed at himself and said in surprise: "Me? Am I out of tune?"
Shi Qiushui nodded vigorously: "Yeah! You're out of tune!"
She pulled Xiao Taozi over and said, "If you don't believe me, sing a few lines for Xiao Taozi to hear."
Zhao Ran nodded and started singing just two lines when little Taozi covered his ears and shouted to stop.
"Stop, stop, stop, Zhao Ran, stop singing! You're really out of tune!"
Strictly speaking, Zhao Ran's singing was not just out of tune; he was completely out of tune.
He didn't pronounce each word in the corresponding tone and ran away for eight hundred miles!
After listening to him sing two lines of the song, Xiao Taozi felt that his ears were polluted.
Zhao Ran looked confused: "Does my singing sound bad?"
Little Taozi nodded relentlessly: "Yeah! It sounds terrible! Very terrible!"
Shi Qiushui was afraid that Zhao Ran would be upset, so he tried to make amends by saying, "It's not particularly bad, it's just that it's quite different from what Teacher Xiaolin sang, so it sounds a bit off, but..."
Zhao Ran lowered his head: "No need to say more, I understand."
He felt a little shocked and ran to a corner to shut himself in.
Xiao Taozi: "Ah? What happened to Zhao Ran? He just sang out of tune, why is he..."
Xiao Taozi was a little confused, but Shi Qiushui could probably understand why Zhao Ran was so upset. After all, whether in study or life, Zhao Ran's performance in every aspect was impeccable, almost perfect, so it was so unbearable when Zhao Ran suddenly discovered that he had a shortcoming of singing out of tune.
Looking at Zhao Ran squatting in the corner like a little mushroom, Shi Qiu Shui felt a little sorry. If she hadn't said anything, Zhao Ran wouldn't have noticed that he was out of tune.
Zhao Ran is such a nice person. He was afraid that she would go to find Chen Dapao alone and get bullied, so he skipped classes and followed her to the small garden. But she pointed out Zhao Ran's shortcomings in front of everyone, making him become autistic. It was really wrong!
Shi Qiushui walked up to Zhao Ran with a guilty conscience and said, "Zhao Ran, it's okay. It's just out of tune. It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it!"
Zhao Ran lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Yeah."
Shi Qiushui: "Hey, don't be so autistic. At worst, I can teach you how to sing. I'll teach you how to sing in tune!"
Zhao Ran looked up: "Will you teach me?"
Shi Qiushui: "Yes, I'll teach you!"
She pulled Zhao Ran's arm and asked him to stand up: "Come on, come on, I will teach you to sing, come now."
"Ahem." She cleared her throat and said, "Follow me. I'll sing a line, and you sing a line."
Zhao Ran nodded, approving of Shi Qiu Shui's teaching method.
Shi Qiushui: "Wearing golden clothes~~"
Zhao Ran: "Wearing golden clothes——"
Shi Qiushui shook his head: "No, no, it's not up—it's up~~there are ups and downs."
Zhao Ran: "Go up——?"
Shi Qiushui: "No, no, it's shang~~ go up, look at my mouth, I pronounce it like this, Shi ang shang~"
Zhao Ran's face was tense and his expression was extremely serious. His eyes were staring at Shi Qiu Shui earnestly. His dark pupils were as clear as the surface of calm water, reflecting Shi Qiu Shui's face.
After Shi Qiushui finished the demonstration, he looked at Zhao Ran and said encouragingly, "Come on, try it. Golden Clothes, one or two——"
Zhao Ran: "Wearing golden clothes, my back is straight and full of strength——"
Shi Qiu Shui's expression froze. How come after teaching for so long, Zhao Ran's singing became even more out of tune?
She twisted her nose and scratched her hair anxiously. Zhao Ran is a bit difficult to deal with!
Zhao Ran noticed that Shi Qiu Shui's expression was not right, so he shut up and stopped singing.
His lips were stretched into a straight line. He should have been in a very bad mood at the moment, but when he looked at Shi Qiu Shui's round face with a little fat, he suddenly didn't feel so unhappy anymore.
It looks like Lantern Festival.
An inexplicable thought popped up in his mind: Shi Qiu Shui's face looked like the Yuanxiao that his grandmother shook during the Chinese New Year.
Especially since Shi Qiu Shui's face was flushed with anxiety at this moment, he looked even more like the red sugar Yuanxiao that his grandmother used to shake during the Chinese New Year.
When the brown sugar Yuanxiao is cooked, you can see the brown sugar filling inside through the white dough.
Shi Qiu Shui poked his face with his fingers, thinking seriously about how to teach Zhao Ran to sing in tune.
Zhao Ran looked at Shi Qiu Shui seriously and thought to himself, Xiao Qiu's face really looks like the Yuanxiao that grandma shakes during the Chinese New Year, with dimples every time you poke it.
"Hmm." Shi Qiu Shui was a little discouraged. She thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any good ideas.
Zhao Ran adjusted his mood. He said, "Why don't you practice with me a few more times? Maybe I won't be out of tune after practicing a few more times."
Shi Qiushui's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
She puffed up her cheeks and said, "Then practice with me. I'll sing a line and you sing a line..."
"good……"
Shi Qiu Shui taught Zhao Ran to sing for a whole day. At the end of the day, it would not be wrong to say that he gained nothing. Zhao Ran indeed stopped singing out of tune.
But there is a prerequisite.
That’s the first two sentences.
Yes, Shi Qiu Shui taught Zhao Ran for a whole day, and only taught him the first two sentences without being out of tune.
From the third sentence onwards, Zhao Ran was so out of tune that even his mother couldn't recognize him.
She only needs to practice a few more times to get out of tune. She has practiced with Zhao Ran dozens of times, but Zhao Ran is still out of tune!
Humph! Men’s mouths are deceitful!
Shi Qiu Shui finally had a deep understanding of this sentence.
In fact, Shi Qiu Shui had thought about giving up, but every time she wanted to ignore Zhao Ran, Zhao Ran would stare at Shi Qiu Shui with his bright black eyes.
Although there was no expression on his face, there was always a hint of pity in his bright black eyes, which made Qiu Shui feel soft-hearted.
Later, when Yue picked up Shi Qiu Shui after school, he was still wondering why his little girl had become so listless today. Did she get into trouble again and was criticized by the teacher?
But the teacher didn’t talk to him today?
After he asked the questions in his mind, Shi Qiu Shui answered him in a hoarse voice.
"Dad, I'm so tired and don't want to talk."
Shi Yue was shocked: "What's wrong with you, girl? Why is your voice hoarse?"
Shi Qiushui pursed her lips and said, "I taught Zhao Ran to sing."
Shi Yue: "??? How could he become hoarse from teaching him to sing?"
Shi Qiushui said aggrievedly, "Wow, Zhao Ran's singing is off-tune! I taught him for a long time before he could even sing two lines! Besides, he's even led me out of tune!"
Shi Yue put his hand in front of his nose to cover the upturned corners of his mouth.
Well, although his daughter looks really pitiful at the moment.
But it's really funny to hear his daughter say that!
Shi Qiushui's eyes were dead: "Dad, don't think I don't know you're laughing."
"No, no!" Shi Yue denied: "You're mistaken. I'm not laughing. My nose is itchy. I'm blowing my nose, blowing my nose."
"Hmph!" Shi Qiu Shui turned his head away and ignored Shi Yue.
Men's mouths are deceiving! No matter what age they are!
Shi Yue held the little girl's face and turned around: "Ahem, Xiaoqiu, don't be angry, Daddy was wrong."
He pinched Shi Qiushui's little face and said, "Daddy won't laugh at you anymore. And that Zhao Ran, if you don't want to teach him to sing, then don't teach him. Don't be embarrassed, at most daddy will help you talk to him. I'll go tell him right now that we won't teach him anymore! Just to teach a tune-deaf idiot, our Xiaoqiu's voice has become hoarse. It's too difficult for our Xiaoqiu!"
"Don't……"
Shi Qiu Shui grabbed the corner of Shi Yue's clothes.
"Dad, don't go. I still want to teach Zhao Ran."
"Ahem, for the honor of our class, I have to teach him so he doesn't sing out of tune!"
