Chapter 353: Half Sober, Half Drunk
"Give it a try, you still have quite a few advantages. We must not forget our original aspirations and forge ahead, for there are many roads to Rome." Although Du Hexiang will step down, there will always be people who give him face for a while, so Du Hongzhi will not encounter most of the underhanded tricks.
Du Hongzhi grinned, "Yeah, I definitely have to give it a try. Anyway, this is what I like. I want to forge a different path. You don't know, when I first heard 'Leave half sober and half drunk' in the nightclub, I thought it suited me quite well, but after listening to it for a while, it felt weird."
And then there's that song they hum to cater to certain people's tastes, like "I'll gamble my youth on tomorrow," which feels like a tune for those indifferent, delusional people to numb themselves. And then there's that really popular song right now, "There's a girl in the village named...", humming and hawing, I don't know what it's trying to express…
Goodness, a whole barrage of complaints followed. "So, Brother Zhi, what style do you like?"
"Hehehe, to be honest, I really dislike people who stick out their pinky fingers like women, wear earrings, and even wear makeup, while humming and singing some tune that I don't know what they're singing."
You know my older brother sent me to the army, right? I really like their military songs. Let me sing you a few lines: "With heads held high and chests puffed out, we cross the Yalu River. To safeguard peace and defend our motherland is to protect our homeland. The good sons and daughters of China are united as one, to resist America and aid Korea and defeat the American imperialist wolves..."
Song Tingnan gave a thumbs up, agreeing that the music was indeed passionate and inspiring. He hadn't expected Du Hongzhi to have such sound values. With positive role models like him guiding the way, many teenagers wouldn't go astray, which would be a good thing for everyone.
"Also, listen to Nan, I love watching 'Huo Yuanjia' the most. I always fantasize about playing such a tough guy. I've watched this TV series several times, and I especially love the theme song 'The Great Wall will never fall, the Yellow River flows for thousands of miles, the beautiful landscape is full of colorful peaks and ridges, ask me where my country looks like it's sick, break through the bloody path, wave your hand and let's go...' Du Hongzhi couldn't help but sing it again.
It's really not bad. Song Tingnan doesn't have much time to watch TV, but he has four younger brothers. In particular, Song Mingfu, who loves martial arts, would either punch or kick the sandbag or the big tree outside after watching "Huo Yuanjia," or challenge his brothers to a match.
Song Mingli must have been annoyed by her nagging. As soon as he saw her return, he immediately "provoked" Mingfu to fight her. She rarely refused, after all, they were all grown up, and it was rare to have such warm moments of companionship. Of course, she wouldn't hold back either; at worst, she would listen to her brother talk about Huo Yuanjia afterward while applying medicinal wine to his wounds.
Du Hongzhi sighed as he saw Song Tingnan lost in thought; he still didn't seem to have much of a presence.
Song Tingnan realized what was happening and quickly apologized, "Brother Zhi, I'm sorry. When you mentioned Huo Yuanjia, it reminded me of my younger brothers at home. They also love watching that TV series."
"It's okay. You're so young, and you haven't been home for summer vacation. It's been more than half a year, so you must be homesick. I heard you have a lot of brothers and sisters?"
"Yes, I have two older brothers, one older sister, four younger brothers, and one younger sister." Speaking of her family, Song Tingnan couldn't help but smile. Her eldest brother, Zheng Xiangqian, and her older sister, Zheng Zhibei, were both thriving in their careers, and their small family was harmonious and happy.
Like Mingfu, the second brother chose to continue his studies, believing that knowledge could change his destiny. The younger children also studied diligently, including Song Wanxing, who quietly collected recyclables without bothering Zhao Xiaojuan.
Of course, her masters Gao Haoran, Liu Dayong, and Song Yanchu were all living very comfortably. They were all wise men with unique life wisdom. They just occasionally reminded her to take good care of herself and not to neglect her martial arts.
"Huh? That's too many!" This time it was Du Hongzhi's turn to be surprised. With so many brothers and sisters, wouldn't it be like a palace drama, so mind-bending?
Song Tingnan laughed and said, "Hehehe, my family situation is a bit complicated, but my siblings and I have a very good relationship. I didn't go back home this summer vacation, and the phone calls and letters kept coming in."
"That's good. I heard that you and Hongxue and his wife are as close as siblings. You shouldn't mind having another brother like me, right?" Du Hongzhi conceded a step.
"I am extremely honored, Brother Zhi. When you become a star, I, as your younger sister, will be very proud."
"Hahaha... I'll try my best to make you the sister of a big star."
Song Tingnan got out of the car and quickly said goodbye to Du Hongzhi.
Du Hongzhi was driving Du Hongxue's car. He watched Song Tingnan walk into the school gate. Everyone has their own path. Being siblings is fine too. He rubbed his face, drove back to Du Hongxue's house, returned the car, and casually reported that Song Tingnan had safely returned to school.
