Chapter 241 The idea of accepting a disciple Because of his good performance in singing drum songs on stage, the veteran artists sincerely invited Qi Long to attend classes at the drum song club more often when he has time. Qi Long naturally agreed. No matter what a crosstalk actor learns, it can be helpful to the crosstalk stage. The same goes for drum music, because crosstalk learning includes so many things. When they first started dating, Qi Long often went to the Drum Music Club, but he never entered the classroom because he might disrupt the order. He always waited for Zhang Wanyi at the door. Now it's like he has a student ID! If I go to the drum music club to attend classes together, it will feel like I am accompanying my girlfriend to class in college. But we can’t sit together and do small things in private like we did in college, we must study seriously. Lao Guo paid for the best hotels for these old artists who came to participate in the enrollment of the drum music society, and also booked tickets for various attractions, hoping to keep the elderly people to play for two more days. But the veteran artists all declined, holding Guo Degang's hand and saying that they would be very satisfied to come here and see so many young people who wanted to try to learn drum music, and to have them as apprentices. They all wanted to go home quickly to organize the scripts, prepare lessons, and get ready to teach. Qi Long also admired this group of pure artists. With respect, he, Luan Yunping and Yang He took the old artists to the high-speed rail station on time and left only after they entered the station. "Xiao Luan, the enrollment for the Drum Music Society is finished, and next week will be the enrollment for the Dragon Class, right?" Qi Long asked in the car. Luan Yunping nodded: "Yes, next week, many actors from Deyun Club will go there, and the two uncles will also come!"
"That's for sure. There's a disciple that Dongqiang likes among them." Qi Long answered casually, then picked up his phone and found the WeChat account with the note "Xia Lingyuan's parents". That was a child to whom he gave an extra pass card as an exception during the live broadcast enrollment. At that time, the live broadcast promised him that he would take the child to eat New Orleans Chicken Leg Burger, and he couldn't go back on his word. He used WeChat to ask the other party's father whether the child wanted to participate in the final selection of the Dragon Class. If he did, he should let me know when the schedule to BJ was set, and then he would take the child to eat the Orleans chicken leg burger! The child's father replied quickly, saying that the child's final exam was on Tuesday, which would last for two days, and they planned to come over on Thursday. It would be a good time to take the child out to play, relax, and prepare for the selection on Sunday. But when it came to Qi Long treating the child to hamburgers, the child's father repeatedly declined, saying it was too much trouble. Qi Long firmly stated that he must go. It would be fine if he didn't agree, but if he agreed, he had to do it. This was to set a good example for the children! He immediately checked his schedule with Xiao Chi. Since he had no work on Thursday, it was a good opportunity for him to fulfill his promise. In the blink of an eye, it was Thursday. Qi Long arrived at the agreed location, near the Shanghai Shopping Mall, and met the Xia family of three. Qi Long greeted the other party's parents first, then picked up Xia Lingyuan, who was drooling as he named the dishes after giving instructions: "Do you still remember your uncle?" "Remember, Uncle Hamburger!" Xia Lingyuan nodded obediently. Qi Long laughed: "You can't call me Uncle Hamburger, it makes me look like the clown uncle in McDonald's. Haha, just call me Uncle Qi, and I'll call you Xiao Xia!" As soon as he entered the hamburger shop, he felt a cool breeze. Qi Long deliberately chose a place that was not near the air conditioner. After ordering, Xiaoxia was eating while Qi Long and his parents started chatting about family matters. "What's the opportunity for Xiaoxia to name the dish?" Qi Long took the initiative to start the topic. Mr. Xia and his wife Ms. Liu looked at each other, then smiled and shook their heads: "There is an old man in our yard who likes Guankou. He listens to Guankou every day. His grandson learned it from him. When he was in kindergarten, he performed a program on June 1st on campus and was praised. Many classmates wanted to play with him. My son is pretty and girls like to play with boys, but he wanted to play with boys, so he carried it on his back." Qi Long had never expected this to be the case. He thought that one of Xiao Xia's parents liked crosstalk and asked their child to learn it, but it turned out that he didn't like playing with girls. Alas, little friend, you will regret it when you grow up! "Hahahaha, this is really a bit strange!" "Then he formed a partnership with the grandson of an old man in our yard, and performed crosstalk at the June 1st activity for first graders." Mr. Xia also showed Qi Long the photos and videos of their performance. They were all young kids, and they were just memorizing lines. The main thing was that the little adults on the stage looked a bit funny, and the others were indeed just fans. The parents of the other child did not plan to let him pursue a career in crosstalk, but Xiaoxia's parents were open-minded. Seeing that their son was interested in it, they enrolled him in the Longzi class. With his excellent recitation of the lines in "Announcement of the Menu", he got a pass card.
"Eat slowly, don't choke!" Qi Long patted Xiaoxia's head and then started chatting with Xiaoxia's parents. It mainly reminds you of some things, for example, if the weather outside is hot, be sure not to let your child face the air conditioner when you enter an air-conditioned room while shopping, as the sudden change of heat and cold can easily lead to a cold. Another thing is that the weather in the capital is dry. If the hotel is not equipped with a humidifier, you can put a wet towel at the head of the bed as an artificial humidifier to prevent your throat from becoming dry. They are all small details. It would be a pity if the child gets sick before participating in the final selection. Xiaoxia's parents obviously didn't expect that Qi Long, the star they always saw on TV, would be so kind and give them such careful advice. Both of them thought about not becoming Guo Degang's apprentice. If Qi Long was willing, they would feel more at ease letting their son become Qi Long's disciple! Before leaving, the two asked Qi Long what he thought. Xiaoxia also looked at Qi Long eagerly. Obviously, he liked Guo Degang more than he liked this uncle who was kind to him during the live assessment and kept his promise to take him to eat hamburgers. "Let's talk about it later. After we recruit students, they will all study at Deyun Training Institute for a period of time. Only when they have excellent grades will they be able to apply for a disciple. I'll see then!" He thought again of his apprenticeship. Normally, Mr. Hou would not accept a child as his apprentice, and planned to hand him over to his eldest apprentice, Jia Lun! But at that time, Qi Long only admired these two crosstalk performers from other places. That was the most popular time for Dongqiang's crosstalk hall. Not only were the seats packed, there was not even room to stand. All the people came to listen to Hou Yaowen's crosstalk. So Qi Long recognized him, didn't cry, but just looked at his master with tears in his eyes. Finally, the master softened his heart and announced that he would accept him as his last disciple. According to godfather Gao Qi, he beat Dongqiang until he cried in the house and asked Dongqiang to hug Shi Fukuan's legs. History always repeats itself in an amazing way. Our master is easily soft-hearted. It depends on his talent. If he learns well in the training center, it may not be a bad idea to accept him as an apprentice. Mainly when the Drum Music Society was recruiting students a few days ago, those old gentlemen who had unique skills but no apprentices also gave him some insights. My crosstalk must be passed on. Dongqiang has no intention of falling in love at all. Why would he wait for his son until the end of time? (End of this chapter)
