Chapter 71 Fleeting Years 3
The next day, Jia Huan was dug out of bed by Jia Dongmei early in the morning and asked him to teach her how to sing foreign songs.
It's a pity that Jia Dongmei doesn't have the language talent of her two younger brothers. Even if Jia Huan teaches her sentence by sentence, she still sings stumblingly and her pronunciation is inaccurate.
In the end, Jia Dongmei gave up on her own.
"Forget it, I'm Chinese, why should I learn foreign songs? If you want to learn, just learn the local singing method." Jia Dongmei's eyes flashed and she said to Jia Huan, "Little brother, can you help my sister?"
Jia Huan blinked doubtfully and nodded: "Yeah!"
Jia Dongmei: "Then if you make money, can you lend it to the second sister? Don't worry, the second sister will pay you back."
Jia Huan: "Second sister, what are you going to do?"
Jia Dongmei: "I want to learn Shi Tiao."
Jia Dongmei's eyes were glaring: "Many teahouses have seasonal tune performances, which look like they make money. If I learn how to sing seasonal tunes, I can make a lot of money in the future. Then my sister will support you."
Jia Huan saw Jia Dongmei's look and knew that she had already had an idea.
It's just that her family didn't have money in the past, so she couldn't learn to sing.
Now that her younger brother could make money, she decided to target her younger brother who was "the best to lie to" and had the best relationship with her.
Jia Huan thought about it and didn't refuse.
If Jia Dongmei wants a future, he will not stop her but will support her.
Compared with traditional female characters like Jia Qiuju, Jia Dongmei has the aggressiveness of a modern strong woman.
Jia Huan appreciated this.
He agreed to Jia Dongmei's request.
Jia Dongmei asked Jia Huan not to tell her parents and siblings that she was going to learn Shi Tune. She was afraid that Jia Erzi and his wife would not let her learn, so she wanted to kill it first and tell the story later.
Jia Huan still agreed.
Lunch was very sumptuous, of course, for this family.
Compared to the meals Jia Huan ate in other worlds, this meal was actually very shabby.
Zhang Chunni bought a carp and braised it, stewed it in a pot with oil residue and cabbage, and stir-fried a plate of shredded radish and stir-fried meat.
The children ate with great satisfaction.
Jia Qiuju finished her meal quickly and hurried to the pier to deliver lunch to Jia Erzi.
After Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun finished eating, they packed themselves up carefully, took Jia Huan's hand, and headed to the port.
Yesterday we sang hymns, mostly with money from religious foreigners.
But they will only give it to you the first time, and not the second time.
After all, if they want to hear hymns, they can go to church every weekend.
On the first day, the local children singing hymns seemed novel. But when the novelty wore off on the second day, no one would listen or give money anymore.
All this had been expected by Jia Huan.
So today, he sang "Praise the Lord" with the two of them first, and then sang a new song.
"i"davidyedahelord...jah, hallelujah..."
(I heard that there was a mysterious chord that King David played to please the Lord...The tortured king wrote the song of praise Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah...)
This hymn has not appeared yet, and it will take another hundred years for it to appear in the world.
Therefore, foreigners who have never heard this piece of music are attracted by it.
A nice melody, a gospel tune that has never been heard before...
Not only the religious foreigners took out their wallets, but also the non-religious foreigners stopped to listen and then took out their wallets.
After the song ended, a man wearing a suit with fine fabrics stood in front of the three of them and asked them in English.
"Children, who taught you this song?"
Jia Huan raised his head and replied in English: "Sir, no one taught us. I learned it after listening to a blond lady sing once."
The man asked, "What about the blonde lady?"
Jia Huan: "I don't know, but just leave. I heard that she is going to return to China by boat."
"Really? That's really a bad luck." The man was very regretful.
He thought this gospel song was composed by the blonde lady and wanted to meet him because he was also a musician and a Christian.
It's a pity that the person has already left.
The man took out a piece of banknote, stuffed it into Jia Huan's pocket, and reached out to touch Jia Huan's little head.
"Child, you have a very good musical talent, don't waste it!"
After saying that, the man opened his long legs and left.
Other foreigners also took out their money and threw it into the wooden bowl prepared by Jia Huan and others.
Today is another great harvest day.
Because Jia Huan and the man were talking in English, the people who were peeping in secretly with the idea of stealing money shrank back.
Yesterday, they investigated the information of the three children and found that they were just children from a poor family. The covetousness that had been suppressed rose again.
They planned to rob the three children of their money in a few days, but they discovered that the youngest child actually knew foreign languages and could communicate smoothly with foreigners.
Something's wrong.
These three children are not just children from poor families, they must be related to foreigners!
This is not going to be easy!
You can't offend foreigners, you can only watch the fat fly away.
Heart hurts!
Forget it, out of sight is out of mind.
Those people who were secretly turned around and left, not wanting to see the three Jia brothers again.
After Jia Huan sang "Hallelujah" again with Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun, he and his two brothers went home with the money.
The singing time today is shorter than yesterday, but the money earned is much higher than yesterday.
The two brothers were very happy.
They couldn't close their mouths.
"Can we still eat meat tomorrow?" Jia Mantun asked.
Jia Mancang: "You can eat it. We made so much money today, my mother will definitely buy meat to reward us."
Jia Mantun: "I still want to eat oil residue."
Jia Mancang: "If you don't have any future, if you want to eat, just eat braised pork."
Jia Mantun: "What is braised pork?"
He has never eaten meat in his entire life, let alone braised pork.
Jia Mancang: "The braised pork is a big piece of meat. It's all meat. It's delicious."
Jia Mantun's face was full of longing: "I will tell my mother when I get home that I want to eat braised pork."
Jia Mancang: "I'll tell you together."
The two of them swallowed together.
When the two of them were not paying attention, Jia Huan took out some money from the box and put it into his pocket.
He wants to save his personal money and start-up capital for his own business.
"By the way, little brother, what did that foreign man tell you before?" Jia Mancang suddenly asked Jia Huan.
Jia Huan: "He asked me who I learned the songs we sang from, and I said I learned them from the church singing. He encouraged me and told me that I had any musical talent and that I should keep working hard."
"Oh." Jia Mancang was not very curious about the content of the conversation between the two. He was more curious about how his younger brother could speak foreign words.
Jia Huan replied: "You will understand it if you listen to those foreigners too much! Aren't the songs we sing now also the songs of foreigners?"
