Chapter 23 Guidance

() Found the way home!

Chen Fang stayed with his mother for a day the next day, and then took the high-speed train back to Yanjing in the afternoon. Several of his men were going to Yanjing next Monday afternoon and had to make some arrangements.

I didn't ask someone to pick up the car, so I got off the high-speed train myself and took a taxi back to Yangqian Hutong.

When I entered the house, I saw Chen Hui reading a book on a recliner under the tree in the yard, and two girls were playing in the yard.

"Sister, I'm back." Chen Fang greeted.

"Uncle!" No need to guess, Jia Jia must be the one who rushed over. Chen Fang hurriedly put down his luggage, caught the little man with a wing, raised it and rotated it a few times, which made Jia Jia scream.

Chen Fang just put Jia Jia down when he felt someone pulling the corner of his clothes. Sure enough, Sisi was holding his clothes with one hand and looking at him with hope.

"Come on!" Chen Fang opened his arms, Sisi smiled, took a few steps back, and ran over like Jia Jia.

After Chen Fang had a quarrel with the two girls, he greeted Chen Hui, went into the room to change into a home clothes, then moved a rattan chair and sat on the side of the coffee table next to the rocking chair.

"Your place is really nice, spacious and quiet. It's so comfortable to lie under the tree to read books. I don't know if there is a suitable yard now. I want to buy one." Chen Hui felt Chen Fang coming over, took down the book covered on her face, and said to Chen Fang enviously.

"I like to live here, but my brother-in-law is not in Yanjing. It's so deserted for me to live alone. It's better for you to move here too, it's not that I can't live there." Chen Fang suggested.

"Mom, can we stay here forever? I like it very much." Jiajia and Sisi looked at Chen Hui with hope.

Chen Huiwei said, "Forget it, the two girls are going to school, I'll take them here on weekends." Then he paused, patted the dust on the two girls' bodies, and asked them to continue playing. "Besides, you'll find a girlfriend in the future and live a two-person world. It's too inconvenient for us to be here. I'd better take the time to find someone to touch a house. Don't be as big as you, just a small yard, it's best to be closer to you."

"It's up to you, I don't have a girlfriend anyway." Chen Fang said, and a graceful figure appeared in his mind unconsciously, staring at him with awesomeness.

"Listen to Xiaolei, did you meet your sister-in-law this time?" Chen Hui did not notice his distraction and asked him about his meeting with her sister-in-law this time in Shanghai.

"Yes, my mother finally untied her knot. It's really not easy for her for so many years." Chen Fang said, "It's just that she doesn't want to come to Yanjing now, otherwise I'll pick her up and live with her for a while."

Chen Hui put the book in her hand on the coffee table and sighed, "Take it slow, my sister-in-law is mainly because she was hurt too deeply. You don't know how haggard she was when she first returned to Shanghai."

"I won't say it anymore," Chen Fang clapped his hands and stood up. "I'll cook today and show you my skills."

"You can still cook rice?" Chen Hui didn't believe it, so she stood up, stretched her waist and said, "Don't cook the rice.

"Don't you look down on me? I have learned a lot of life skills alone over the years, otherwise how can I take care of myself and grow up?" Chen Fang said confidently.

Chen Hui didn't say anything, looking at Chen Fang, she was both relieved and sad. It hasn't been easy for her younger brother for so many years.

The refrigerator in the kitchen was filled with food Chen Hui had purchased in the past two days. Chen Fang looked at it and realized it. He took out his apron and surrounded it.

Chen Hui and the two girls were not playing, so they sat together on the small table outside the kitchen, holding their chins with both hands, watching Chen Shentan busy in the kitchen, Chen Hui watched Chen Fang's skillful operation, knowing that this younger brother really knows how to cook.

Just the food in the refrigerator, Chen Fang made three dishes and one soup, one pine nut corn, one fried shrimp, one stewed lion head, and a flat bridge tofu soup, plus the smoked fish brought by Grandma Ran, and the standard Huaiyang dish, four dishes and one soup, with both meat and vegetable.

Chen Hui tasted it one by one, then took two spoons and dug a small bowl of pine nut corn for the little girl: "Okay, although your skills are not as good as mine, it is more than enough to open a home-cooked restaurant."

Chen Fangxiao didn't say anything, and peeled a few shrimps for the two girls, then wiped them with paper and rubbed their hands with juice.

"Well, it's delicious. The dishes cooked by my uncle are better than my mother." Both little girls were very supportive.

Chen Hui knocked on the man with a little annoyed and said, "I just like to tear my mother's platform so much. I'll raise you for nothing, two little ungrateful wolves."

Since I had to attend class the next day, although I was reluctant, Chen Hui still took her two children back to Zijin Villa at night.

Chen Fang took the opportunity to go to the bar to take a look. The changes to the bar had been approved. Lin Yue found several design companies to remade the store logo to confirm it for Chen Fang. Chen Fang looked at it, but was not satisfied. He asked him to combine the first English with the third Chinese, and then rearrange it and take a look.

There were quite a lot of guests on Sunday night, and the atmosphere in the bar was pretty good. The two bands are now well-known in the underground band circle of Yanjing. Many bands and singers have heard that the original "Wanghai Bar" has changed hands. The bosses now can play musical instruments and write songs. Some bands have begun to ask Li Xia and others to come over, hoping to come to the bar to meet the new boss.

The two bands sang several songs respectively. Chen Fang sat down below and couldn't help but sang a few songs on stage. Chen Fang's performance was still obvious different from the two bands. The same folk song was more magnetic under Shen Fang's singing, and it was intoxicating under the amplification of professional sounds. The rock singing by Chen Fang was even more metallic, with high notes and contagiousness, making people excited.

The grand performance gave the guests tonight some unexpected gains. During this period, several female customers recognized him as the male protagonist who had a scandal with Liang Hui, and stepped forward to ask for a photo with him, but he smiled and declined.

After singing a few songs, Chen Fang still went back to the bar to talk about wine culture with Fang Yuan.

"Boss, I have something to hear from you." Li Xia found Chen Fang while performing an abnormal band.

Chen Fang habitually sat by the bar counter so that he could see the whole bar, and it was convenient to compete with Fang Yuan in front of the bar counter. Seeing Li Xia today a little embarrassed, she didn't look like she was usually careless. Chen Fang looked at the other people who were debugging musical instruments on the other side of the stage and joked: "Did the big dog confess to you? Don't you know what to do?"

"How could this happen? He is so brave that he dares to confess his love to me." Speaking of this, Li Xia instantly regained the generous temperament of a Northeast girl. Gou Wei was a little interested in Li Xia, and Li Xia also liked Gou Wei. Everyone else saw it, but they were still shy.

"What's that?" Chen Fang looked at Li Xia with a little crampedness and signaled her to sit down and said, then asked Fang Yuan to pour her a glass of water.

"Boss, last time you said I was not breathing enough and had a problem with pronunciation. I wonder if there is any way to exercise? I also went to the Conservatory of Music several times, but I was always unfair. They had too many theories and my educational level was relatively weak, so I couldn't understand it." Li Xia sat there embarrassedly. She came out to make a living after graduating from high school. Her high school grades were not very good. It was not easy to sing in the underground band of Yanjing with her own talent, so she also wanted to improve herself, but she had no way to rely on her. She had completely convinced them and was already a master in their minds. Last time the boss analyzed her weaknesses, so she wanted to try to see if she could get the boss's guidance.

Chen Shun outside for so many years, the more he has experienced, the more he understands one truth: Sometimes when you help someone for no reason, it will make your help cheaper. It is not that you want to be cold and have to ask others to help him, but that you are afraid that if you extend your hand too much, the other party will squander it. Although Chen Fang always thinks that Li Xia is a good seedling, he does not give too much guidance, but will only help when the other party truly realizes his shortcomings and wants to make progress.

"Actually, you should have discovered that your range is quite wide, but you always use shouting when you are high notes, and it is particularly easy to break the sound." Chen Fang thought about it and decided to give her some guidance. "This is the wrong pronunciation technique. You mainly shout with your throat, rather than using your dantian pronunciation. After a few years, you will find that this pronunciation will damage your vocal cords, and later it will become a male duck voice and even fail to make a sound."

"Well, yes, I feel this way now. After performing every day, there will be a hoarse feeling in this part of my throat, and sometimes my throat hurts. It should be the boss that you said that the vocal cords were damaged." Li Xia put down the water cup in his hand and pointed at Chen Fang at the neck.

"I will teach you a pronunciation method of 'bubble sound', you can practice it first. 'bubble sound' can nourish your throat. When your throat is nourished for a while, the vocal cords are loose. I am looking for someone to teach you a method of pronunciation of Dantian." Chen Fang didn't want to waste his talent when he looked at a good seedling, so he would give her some advice first.

Some people have said that when people feel most comfortable, they stretch their waists. When yawning, because when people sit in two movements, they are relaxed all over. And the "bubble sound" is actually a sound that we make unconsciously when yawning. In the Middle Ages, a group of European nobles studied how to make the sound more penetrating when they were bored. Later, they found that when people yawn, the sound would start from the abdomen and pass through the chest cavity, then "ha" out in the throat, and then resonate with the relaxed vocal cords. This vocal method was later widely used in bel canto singing. The exercise method for making "bubble sounds" is to relax the vocal cords, let the faint air flow pass through the throat cavity, blow a small hole in the middle of the closed vocal cords, and then send it out "pop". To be honest, it is a bit late for Li Xia to practice again at this age, and I guess I will pay much more than others if I want to practice it. When Chenfang practiced pronunciation at the age of seven or eight, he practiced it step by step under the guidance of his grandmother, and also learned the pronunciation skills of Dantianyin from the successors of the traditional crosstalk sect. These skills are more than enough to guide Li Xia and the others.

"Practicing vocalization can be very hard. First, you must ensure a rest. Only after resting well can you relax. Secondly, you must persist. You must practice pronunciation for at least half an hour every morning, and it cannot be interrupted." Chen Fang stared at Li Xia, wondering if this girl who ran from Northeast to be a Beijing drifter at the age of 18 had the perseverance.

"I can do it, thank you boss!" Li Xia stood up and bowed to Chen Fang.
