Chapter 79:
Xiaoshi, would you like to participate in the show with me?
On Saturday, it was Mu Xiaoshi's first dance class at home after the new dance teacher came.
She changed her clothes by herself, waited in the dance studio, remembered what the teacher said, and tried to straighten her back.
She would often lower her head in school, and the teacher said she was not at all energetic, but Mu Xiaoshi felt that lowering her head would prevent others from seeing her, and it was a good way of self-protection.
But now at home, Mu Xiaoshi is a little more courageous, plus today is the first official meeting with her new teacher, Mu Xiaoshi wants to leave a good impression on Si Tian, and her performance last time was not very good.
Yes, Mu Xiaoshi already knew that her new dance teacher was Si Tian, because Mu Xiaoshi called her mother and said that she only wanted Aunt Si Tian to be her dance teacher.
Mother talked a lot on the phone, and Mu Xiaoshi made promises one by one, including but not limited to dancing well, not being tired, studying hard, correcting her physical incoordination, concentrating, getting rid of Bad things about myself...
Mu Xiaoshi had been waiting in the dance studio twenty minutes in advance, and there was a big mirror in the dance room, which could fully show people.
Mu Xiaoshi was doing warm-up exercises by herself, but just looking at the little girl's movements in the mirror, the corners of her mouth twitched again.
She felt that she had a bit more flesh on her stomach, her face was also fleshy, her arms and thighs were not as slender as the other girls in the class...
This reminded Mu Xiaoshi of when she was in kindergarten, the children in the class always laughed at her, she hated those words, fat, fat, ugly...
The teacher doesn't like her either. The child is very sensitive to other people's likes and dislikes. Sometimes a look from the teacher can make her timid.
At that time, Mu Xiaoshi didn't know why, until her mother told her that you were gloomy all day long, didn't talk or play with others, didn't even have a smiling face, who likes such a child.
Would Aunt Si Tian dislike her?
Mu Xiaoshi was also not sure, because it was the first time they met in the amusement park. Although Aunt Si Tian had a very cute child by her side, and that child even asked her for an empty bottle, the auntie was also very gentle to her.
Mu Xiaoshi was rarely loved by adults, so she remembered this experience firmly.
When Aunt Si Tian came to their house on Wednesday, Aunt Si Tian didn't dislike her, she even knelt down to talk to her, very gentle and gentle, Mu Xiaoshi liked it so much.
But that time she was wearing a school uniform, which would cover up her flesh.
And in the end, she was not polite at all to send Aunt Si Tian out, Mu Xiaoshi was very depressed when she thought of this.
There was a knock on the door of the dance room, "dong dong dong", light and rhythmic.
Aunt Si Tian must be here!
Mu Xiaoshi ran to open the door and tried to show a smile. She knew that adults prefer lively and cheerful children, so she tried her best to pretend to be like this at this time, even though she was not inexperienced.
"Hi Xiaoshi, I'm your dance teacher. My surname is Xie. You can call me Teacher Xie." A young woman stood at the door with a slim figure and a warm smile on her face.
Mu Xiaoshi was stunned, her smile froze on her face, where is Aunt Si Tian...
Aunt Shu, who was standing next to Teacher Xie, reminded in time: "Xiaoshi, the teacher has already greeted you, what do you want to say?"
Mu Xiaoshi lowered her voice: "Hello, Teacher Xie."
Aunt Shu said: "Xiaoshi, you have to listen to the teacher and study hard, you know, I'm going to make you dinner."
Then he turned to Teacher Xie and said, "Xiao Xie, Xiao Shi is a bit introverted, but she is a very obedient child. Be strict with her and don't indulge her in anything. Her mother also hopes that she can practice dancing well."
Teacher Xie said, "I see."
Aunt Shu left, her last words seemed to be addressed to Mu Xiaoshi.
Mu Xiaoshi didn't dare to resist or speak too much, so she could only follow Teacher Xie into the dance studio.
Teacher Xie took her to warm up first, but it was only very basic dance moves, and Mu Xiaoshi couldn't do well either.
At first Teacher Xie would say: "Xiaoshi, don't worry, take your time, don't be on the same page."
It's just that as the number of mistakes made by Mu Xiaoshi increased, Teacher Xie was obviously a little impatient, but he didn't say harsh words because of his status as a tutor: "I told you that I didn't do this, can you listen carefully?"
Mu Xiaoshi's body trembled in fright: "Yes, I'm sorry..."
Mu Xiaoshi didn't dare to look at Teacher Xie anymore. She noticed that Teacher Xie's attitude towards her was becoming irritable. She was also anxious and wanted to do a good job, but the more anxious she was, the worse she did, and in the end she was completely out of shape.
Teacher Xie frowned, and directly took Mu Xiaoshi's hand, and moved it to a suitable position.
She couldn't control her strength well, Mu Xiaoshi's arm hurt, she silently bit her lip and didn't speak.
The last dance teacher was also like this. Mu Xiaoshi felt a lot of pain in her body. After mustering up the courage to call her mother, her mother told her not to be so squeamish. On the body, Mu Xiaoshi should study hard and don't always complain about suffering and tiredness.
Mu Xiaoshi didn't dare to tell them any more.
While learning dance moves from Teacher Xie, Mu Xiaoshi thought to herself, why isn't Aunt Si Tian here today?
She wanted to ask her mother and Aunt Shu, but Teacher Xie came to her house and was still by her side, so Mu Xiaoshi wanted to wait and ask.
Because she knows that if someone mentions another person in front of one person, that person will also feel sad, even though she doesn't like Teacher Xie.
Mu Xiaoshi has been maintaining the same movement, her arms and legs are a little sore, she can hardly hold on anymore.
Finally finished today's class, Teacher Xie also looked relieved, and said to Mu Xiaoshi: "That's it for today, I'll come again on the weekend, Xiaoshi needs to practice more at home, I added the WeChat account of taking care of your aunt , if there is anything Xiaoshi doesn’t know, you can ask me on WeChat.”
It was time to get off work, and Teacher Xie lost the impatience he had just now. He softened his voice and talked to Mu Xiaoshi, trying to increase the child's favorability.
But Mu Xiaoshi just lowered her head, didn't look at Teacher Xie, and said in a low voice, "Yes."
Miss Xie's eyes flickered with displeasure. She used to be a dance teacher for children. Due to the high cost of the course, the children who came to the class were quite talented and well-educated.
In comparison, Mu Xiaoshi doesn't look like a child from a rich family, she has a petty air about her.
But although this child is a bit stupid, he is not squeamish, and the wages offered by this family are high, now it is 1,000 yuan an hour, Teacher Xie is still satisfied.
For the sake of salary, Teacher Xie stretched out his hand and stroked Mu Xiaoshi's hair condescendingly: "Xiaoshi, see you this weekend."
Teacher Xie left the dance studio, and Mu Xiaoshi sat on a small stool and did not go out to see Teacher Xie off. She could feel that Teacher Xie didn't like her, so even when Teacher Xie touched her head at the end, she felt very uncomfortable.
Teacher Xie is different from others. Many people don't like her, and they won't approach her.
Teacher Xie obviously doesn't like her, but pretends to be intimate. Mu Xiaoshi still doesn't understand why, she just doesn't like this kind of thing even more.
At this moment, Aunt Shu pushed open the door and asked Mu Xiaoshi, "Xiaoshi, why didn't you come out when Teacher Xie left just now?"
Mu Xiaoshi pursed her lips, and clenched her hand hanging by her side into a small fist. She mustered up the courage to ask, "Aunt Shu, why isn't Aunt Si Tian the teacher who came to teach me?"
Aunt Shu was a little displeased: "Is Teacher Xie not good? Teacher Xie has rich work experience and graduated from a dance major. She is the most suitable to teach you."
Generally speaking, after being rejected once, Mu Xiaoshi would not open her mouth and just accepted silently.
But she was looking forward to it so much, that's why she dared to ask a second time: "But I have already told my mother that I want Aunt Si Tian, and I also promised that I will study hard."
Aunt Shu said: "Then Xiaoshi, call your mother and ask."
Mu Xiaoshi let out a muffled "hmm".
The phone was connected, and the voice on the other end spoke very fast. It could be heard that she was busy. Mu Xiaoshi called her mother: "The teacher who came to teach me how to dance today is Mr. Xie."
"Yes, I chose this teacher for you."
Mu Xiaoshi became anxious: "But my mother promised me."
"I agreed, but I didn't expect you to choose a layman. Xiaoshi, you are still young, and you can only look at the surface of people. Those teachers who only please you can't teach you much knowledge. Teacher Xie also taught you to take the national dance. Award student, you can learn more dance knowledge by following her."
Mu Xiaoshi didn't know how to refute, she could only say that one sentence: "Mother promised me so."
Mu Xiaoshi's mother became a little impatient: "Why don't you understand when I tell you the truth? If I am your mother, will I still harm you? You don't understand anything when you are young, but when you grow up, you will understand mother's painstaking efforts. Shu My aunt told me that Si Tian tried to please you as soon as she saw you, and wanted to come to our house to work. You will only be spoiled if you follow such a teacher. Okay, mom is going to see a client, Xiaoshi you Be good at home, and Mom and Dad will bring you a gift when they get home."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoshi was holding the phone blankly.
Aunt Shu took the phone out of her hand and comforted her: "Xiaoshi, your mother is thinking about you wholeheartedly. What did Teacher Xie teach you today?"
Mu Xiaoshi didn't want to talk much, but Aunt Shu kept watching her and guarding her.
Mu Xiaoshi said wearily, "Teach me some dance moves."
Aunt Shu looked at her encouragingly: "Can you perform that little poem now?"
Mu Xiaoshi shook her head and sat on the small stool again. She didn't want to perform, because Teacher Xie always frowned when she saw her dance, and when the center of her eyebrows could be knotted, her voice would rise. Mu Xiaoshi knew that she couldn't dance well, She doesn't want to dance anymore, doesn't want to be criticized anymore.
Aunt Shu knew that she was depressed now, so she didn't force her anymore, she just asked: "Xiaoshi, do you want to have dinner now? I'll take you out."
Mu Xiaoshi followed Aunt Shu, sat at the table and went back to her room without eating much food.
In Mu Xiaoshi's mind, she was thinking about what her mother said on the phone just now. Was it Aunt Shu who told her not to ask Aunt Si Tian? She had her own ideas, but she didn't dare to ask Auntie Shu. Children, especially a timid child like Mu Xiaoshi, would never dare to ask an adult such a question.
Doubts can only be buried in my heart.
It's just that Mu Xiaoshi was very sad. At that time, she asked Aunt Si Tian if she could be her dance teacher. If Aunt Si Tian was willing, she was also willing.
Mu Xiaoshi wanted to tell Aunt Si Tian that it wasn't that she had no choice, it was just that she was useless and couldn't do anything.
On weekends, Mu Xiaoshi's aunt Le Zhizhen came to see her at home. At that time, Mu Xiaoshi was learning dance from Teacher Xie. Although Mu Xiaoshi didn't like dancing anymore, she didn't dare to raise any objections. The heart is insurmountable and deviant.
Aunt Shu brought fruit and tea to Le Zhizhen with a flattering smile: "Is Xiaozhen busy recently?"
Le Zhizhen took off the mask and looked around: "Fortunately, Xiaoshi, why didn't you see her?"
Aunt Shu said, "Xiaoshi is dancing with the teacher?"
Le Zhizhen frowned: "Have you found a new teacher?"
Aunt Shu nodded and said yes.
Le Zhizhen said: "Last time, the teacher didn't care about Xiaoshi's feelings at all. He just said that he was a private teacher. Is he worthy of this salary? When I was studying, I hated this kind of teacher who followed the script. What's wrong with the teacher I chose this time? Sample?"
Aunt Shu suppressed the displeasure in her eyes, and maintained a smile: "This time, the teacher Xiaoshi also likes it very much."
"Then I'll go and see them in class."
"Xiaozhen, don't bother them, Xiaoshi is a shy child."
Le Zhizhen disagreed and said: "If she is shy, she should be allowed to go out and see more. She learns to dance and no one else can watch her. Is it still for physical fitness?"
Aunt Shu couldn't stop Le Zhizhen. Le Zhizhen was really the younger sister of Mu Xiaoshi's mother, but the two had very different personalities. After graduating from high school, Le Zhizhen applied to the Art Academy. Stepped into the entertainment circle, but unfortunately it has not been very popular.
Mu Xiaoshi's mother married Mu Xiaoshi's father, who had a similar family background. The two started a business together and now the company is doing well. It's just that they are too busy to take care of Mu Xiaoshi, so they called Aunt Shu.
Aunt Shu doesn't like Le Zhizhen, she thinks this girl is too deviant at such a young age, what good place can the entertainment industry be?
However, although she has brought Mu Xiaoshi for a long time and has a deep relationship with the master's family, she is only a servant. Only Mu Xiaoshi is at home, and she can take care of everything, but when Le Zhizhen comes, she can only retire.
Aunt Shu was worried that Mu Xiaoshi would pick up Le Zhizhen's bad habits, but she couldn't stop them from seeing each other. Fortunately, Le Zhizhen didn't come to the house very often.
Le Zhizhen knocked on the door of the dance studio, then pushed the door open, and saw Mu Xiaoshi practicing dance, Teacher Xie was correcting Mu Xiaoshi's movements, her brows were tightly frowned.
And the little girl's forehead was covered with sweat, her face was flushed red, her body maintained a ridiculous movement, she didn't dare to relax when she saw Le Zhizhen, she only dared to roll her eyes.
Teacher Xie looked up at Le Zhizhen who came in directly, and asked in a bad tone: "Hi, we are in class, are you?"
When Le Zhizhen saw this scene, she became very angry: "I am Mu Xiaoshi's aunt, what class are you taking? Are you correcting your movements or abusing your children? How long has Xiaoshi kept this posture? You see Look at her feet are trembling."
Teacher Xie frowned: "Practicing dance is not an easy task. Parent, if you don't approve of my education method, you can change your child's teacher."
Teacher Xie decided that Le Zhi really didn't dare. She is just an aunt, and she has taught so many students, Mu Xiaoshi is the most clumsy, such a student probably lost a lot of teachers, she thinks that she has a good temper to work here twice, if she is fired, I am afraid that she will come here again. It is hard to find a professional teacher with her rich experience.
Le Zhizhen raised her eyebrows: "Then you go, I just happened to look at the contact information of other teachers."
Teacher Xie froze for a moment, and glanced at Mu Xiaoshi, but Mu Xiaoshi didn't look at her.
Teacher Xie packed up his things, strode away, and stomped on the floor making a thumping sound.
After Teacher Xie left, Le Zhizhen asked Mu Xiaoshi to sit down.
After maintaining the same movement for a long time, Mu Xiaoshi's arm was sore and swollen. She silently put down her hand, and the blood vessels in her arm seemed to be throbbing.
Le Zhizhen rubbed the little girl's shoulders: "Aren't you tired, Xiaoshi?"
Sitting next to Le Zhizhen, Mu Xiaoshi's eyes began to turn red when she heard these words, but she lowered her head and wrung her fingers without saying a word.
Le Zhizhen said: "I'll help you get rid of this dance teacher too. It looks like he's only bullying children, really."
Mu Xiaoshi spoke in a low voice, her voice astringent: "Mom will scold auntie."
The last time my aunt helped her fire that dance teacher, Mu Xiaoshi heard her mother call and scold her.
Le Zhizhen smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of her scolding, she has scolded me a lot since she was a child, and it's nothing bad."
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoshi, your mother is a sharp mouth, you have to tell your mother if you have something to say."
Mu Xiaoshi's voice was muffled: "I know."
"Auntie Shu is also true, and told me that you like this dance teacher very much. Isn't that bragging? I've seen it earlier..." Le Zhizhen silently swallowed the second half of the sentence back into her throat.
She has long disliked Aunt Shu, but one is not because of her salary, and the other is that she is not Mu Xiaoshi's real mother, so even if she complains to Mu Xiaoshi's mother, it will be useless.
Her elder sister still treats her children in the same old way now, and she believes in strict requirements to cultivate excellent children. If the children do not do well, it must be because they are not serious. Xiaoshi was not as good as she was when she was a child, so her sister began to find different ways to find a tutor for Mu Xiaoshi, trying to make up for it by looking for reasons in various ways.
Le Zhizhen didn't know what to say anymore, so she could only control herself so as not to spread negative energy in front of Mu Xiaoshi.
Since the status quo can't be changed, Mu Xiaoshi will only make herself feel worse if she hates Auntie Shu no matter how much she hates.
But Le Zhizhen's words brought back something Mu Xiaoshi buried in her heart. She really liked the dance teacher who was interviewing this time, but the Aunt Si Tian she liked was not Teacher Xie.
Immediately, tears were about to flow uncontrollably, Mu Xiaoshi quickly reached out to wipe them away.
Because my mother told her, don't like to cry so much, tears can't change anything, and will expose your weakness.
Mu Xiaoshi didn't dare to cry when there were people around.
Le Zhizhen noticed her movements, and quickly asked, "Xiaoshi, why are you crying?"
Mu Xiaoshi shook her head to show that she wasn't crying.
Le Zhizhen quickly hugged her and coaxed her: "It's okay, don't cry, if you have any grievances, just tell my aunt, other aunts can't help you, it's okay to dismiss one or two teachers."
Mu Xiaoshi sobbed in her voice: "Then, can my aunt help me find another teacher?"
She still couldn't forget Si Tian, she had clearly agreed to ask Aunt Si Tian to teach her to dance, but she didn't do it first, Mu Xiaoshi was so sad and helpless when she thought about it these days.
"Xiaoshi, who do you want to replace?"
"I want, I want, Aunt Si Tian, I told my mother. After my mother agreed, I didn't let Aunt Si Tian come again, saying that Aunt Si Tian couldn't teach well..." Mu Xiaoshi's shoulders trembled.
Le Zhizhen was a little confused, so she comforted the child and asked her for more details. She asked each Mu Xiaoshi and answered each other. Finally, Le Zhizhen found out the truth and immediately became angry. She felt that Aunt Shu was really a broomstick. You have to plug in everywhere.
Maybe there are other thoughts. Seeing that Mu Xiaoshi likes Si Tian's teacher so much, she feels a sense of crisis. After all, Mu Xiaoshi's mother's salary is really high, and she usually lives in a big villa, and Mu Xiaoshi is a timid child, who dare not cause trouble and dare not play tricks, this job has no conscience, so it is easy to fool the employer.
But even if she helped Mu Xiaoshi find her favorite teacher back, it would only solve a temporary problem, and Mu Xiaoshi's character was the real big problem.
She didn't dare to say anything, and when her parents asked her, she said everything was fine, shy and introverted.
Le Zhizhen remembered the variety show that she had mentioned to Mu Xiaoshi before, and now she took it out and asked Mu Xiaoshi: "Xiaoshi, Auntie invited you to participate in a show with me, right?"
Mu Xiaoshi remembers, but she knows that there will be many people participating in the show, and it will be broadcast on the Internet. When she thinks of so many people, Mu Xiaoshi is afraid and dare not go.
Le Zhizhen said: "Then Auntie invites you again now, don't refuse, and let Auntie explain the reason, okay? I know Xiaoshi can understand you."
Mu Xiaoshi nodded hesitantly.
"Xiaoshi, do you know why your mother agreed with you to choose the teacher you want, but regret it later?"
Mu Xiaoshi shook her head.
Le Zhizhen said: "It's because your mother thinks you are too young and introverted. She is worried about your choice and thinks you are easy to be deceived, so she wants to help you make a decision."
Le Zhizhen didn't think that her sister was doing the right thing, and she would cause great harm to the child after promising something to the child, but she couldn't change her sister. She has always had this personality since she was a child, and it can't be changed overnight, but She hoped that Mu Xiaoshi would change. Being too introverted and shy can easily destroy a child's psychology.
"Xiaoshi, if you want to have something you like, you have to grow yourself, and you can do whatever you want when you are capable, but you are so young now, you need the help of your parents, they all love you, If you can make them feel that you can afford your own choices, they will support you." Le Zhizhen said, "It is for Xiaoshi to become stronger herself."
"There will also be other children who are about your age in the show. You can make friends with them. There will also be some uncles and aunts. Don't be afraid to get along with adults. My aunt wants to wait for you to finish participating in the show. Your parents will see it. Then you will believe that Xiaoshi will give you more rights to choose independently when she grows up." Le Zhizhen said slowly.
Le Zhi really wanted Mu Xiaoshi to participate in variety shows, but she also had her own selfish motives.
At that time, Le Zhizhen entered the entertainment industry and was also disliked by many people in her family. She has not made a name for herself in the entertainment industry in the past few years. The top stars are glamorous and earn a lot of money, but most of her money is given to the brokerage company , I still need to maintain all aspects of maintenance at ordinary times, and it looks okay, but I just know how it is in reality.
When Le Zhizhen's agent gave her the variety show information, Le Zhi was really surprised. This parent-child variety show was created by the director who created the most popular variety show in China. I heard that some celebrities have been invited, all of whom are big names in the circle. .
The director wants children with different personalities to appear on the variety show to attract attention and show the theme-although the children have different personalities, they are all angels.
Le Zhizhen thinks that the director's idea is very good, but some children are really not angels.
Now we need a child with a quiet and introverted personality, but with celebrity parents, such children are indeed rare. The manager thought that Le Zhizhen had a quiet niece, so he disclosed the information to Le Zhizhen.
Le Zhi really knows that this is a rare opportunity for her. If she can appear in this variety show, her popularity will definitely be raised several levels.
Le Zhizhen first told Mu Xiaoshi's parents about this matter, and it took a lot of effort to get their consent. Mu Xiaoshi's mother tried her best because of Mu Xiaoshi's overly introverted personality, but she failed. I didn't know that my parents were both confident and talkative, so why my daughter didn't inherit it at all.
The director's reputation was good, and Mu Xiaoshi's mother agreed after knowing it, hoping to see her daughter's change.
It's just that Le Zhizhen still wants to ask for Mu Xiaoshi's consent. Her future is very important, but she doesn't want to trade Mu Xiaoshi for it. If Mu Xiaoshi is forced to appear in a variety show by her parents, then her own resistance may become more serious. The problem.
Now that Mu Xiaoshi took the initiative to confide her troubles, Le Zhizhen took the opportunity to introduce the variety show to Mu Xiaoshi again, hoping that Mu Xiaoshi would agree, and she would work hard to protect Mu Xiaoshi in the show.
Mu Xiaoshi was obviously also moved by Le Zhizhen's words, her eyelashes trembled, like a butterfly sitting on a flower branch, its wings were blown violently by the wind.
Finally, Mu Xiaoshi nodded: "I am willing, Auntie."
She really wanted Aunt Si Tian to be her teacher. If Aunt Si Tian taught her to dance now, it would definitely not be what she is now.
After getting Mu Xiaoshi's consent, Le Zhizhen was very excited, and gave Mu Xiaoshi a big hug: "Don't worry, Xiaoshi, Auntie won't let you be bullied, and let that teacher Xie not come tomorrow."
"The recording of the program won't start until July. At that time, you will be on summer vacation, and it won't affect your studies."
Mu Xiaoshi nodded, affected by Le Zhizhen's excitement, she also showed a shallow smile.
Maybe when she becomes stronger and her mother trusts her, she can ask her mother for Aunt Si Tian's contact information, and continue to do what she said.
