The longed-for village system

Chapter 168 Rare Characters
"Huh? Teacher He, how did you guess?" Peng Peng's excited expression disappeared, and he looked at Teacher He with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Do I even need to guess? It's written all over your face." After answering, Teacher He encouraged Peng Peng, "Good job, keep it up. Besides being able to read it, try to memorize it as much as possible."

These are lyrics; memorizing them would be ideal.

Although Pengpeng didn't understand why his sister and Teacher He insisted on memorizing it himself, he nodded and continued to wait for Brother Chen to return.

"Brother Chen, you're finally back! I've gotten to know everyone here."

Peng Peng rushed over to Chen Qing the moment he saw him return, his face beaming with pride.

"Really? Sure! Then read it once!"

Chen Qing was surprised that Peng Peng was so proactive and hardworking, managing to learn and read so many unfamiliar characters and pinyin in just one night.

"Listen up, Brother Chen! I don't even look at the paper, so don't accuse me of cheating by looking at the pinyin."

Peng Peng folded the paper and began to recite it.

Alone and utterly isolated, yet in cahoots.

Walking alone, a sudden enlightenment.
The continuous growth of gourds and melons is regarded as a model.
Dragon travels through horns and nooks
Graceful and slender, tears streaming down her face
Talking incessantly, neither good nor bad
Listening to Peng Peng slowly recite these lyrics, even though he had some freckles, he really had memorized them all. He couldn't help but admit that some talented actors are really good at memorizing lyrics.

"Peng Peng, you're amazing! You memorized all of this in one night. That's great, really impressive," Chen Qing praised sincerely.

"Hehe! Not bad! When are you going to give me my song, Brother Chen?" Peng Peng looked at Chen Qing with an expectant expression.

Why do I work so hard? Besides proving myself, it's naturally for my songs. If I have a signature song, I can add the title of "singer" to my resume, and maybe even get commercial performance opportunities!

"Okay, you win. I'll give you the music later!"

Chen Qing would never go back on his word. He saw how hard Peng Peng worked yesterday and realized he had already written the melody after washing up. He just didn't expect Peng Peng to have memorized the lyrics today.

"Xiao Chen, you've already finished writing the music, right? Sing a short part for us first. I'm very curious how you'll arrange it with so many uncommon characters."

Peng Peng didn't know about the song, but Teacher He and the others did! Hearing that Chen Qing had finished the piece, they naturally wanted to listen to it as soon as possible.

"Brother Chen, sing a song first! I'm really curious too!" Liu Xijun said with anticipation.

Pengpeng was a little confused by what Teacher He and Liu Xijun were saying. What did they mean? What was the connection between these uncommon characters and the lyrics? Why did these uncommon characters sound like the lyrics to him? Did he hear wrong?
Turning to Chen Qing with curiosity, she asked, "Brother Chen? What do Teacher He and Sister Xijun mean? Are those unfamiliar characters lyrics from some song? I've never heard them before!"

"You silly boy."

Teacher Huang smiled and scolded Peng Peng for not understanding yet, but she was still very positive about him. He was indeed a diligent child. He not only learned to read so many unfamiliar characters in one night, but he also memorized them. Although it was rote memorization, it was still very good.

This child's learning ability is truly remarkable, and it's clear that this ability is something he developed through memorizing lines while filming.

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you hiding something from me?"

Peng Peng was even more confused after Teacher Huang's words, but his sixth sense told him that these people were hiding something from him, so he turned his attention to his most innocent and easy-going younger sister. Teacher He and Teacher Huang clearly had no intention of telling him, otherwise they would have already told him. As for Brother Chen, well, forget about him! He was no less cunning than Teacher Huang. Liu Xijun and Chen Linong were meeting for the first time and weren't very familiar with each other yet.

"Little sister, tell me, what's going on?"

"Brother, this is exactly the situation we've been talking about! Didn't everyone tell you?"

"What did you tell me? I don't understand! You're talking about lyrics, but I've never heard of this song before!" Peng Peng paused, then looked at everyone and saw their smiles. He understood. "Is this the song that Brother Chen wrote for me? Did I guess right?"

"Pengpeng, you only just realized that now!" Teacher He shook her head with a smile. This child is too naive.

"Yo ho!"

Upon hearing Teacher He's affirmative reply, Peng Peng immediately became excited. After shouting, he followed Chen Qing into the house, clearly intending to ask Chen Qing for the piece of music.

When Peng Peng came out again, he had a brand new sheet music in his hand, and Chen Qing had also typed out the remaining lyrics on the computer.

"Brother, did you get it? Sing us a part first, please." The younger sister made a small request, mainly because she was very curious about how the song was arranged.

"Ah? Now?"

Peng Peng wanted to agree to his sister's request, but the cameras were rolling! He didn't want his hard-earned song to be leaked so soon.

"It's okay, Pengpeng, the live stream cameras aren't on yet! We'll have Lao Wang edit it properly so it won't be leaked. You can sing with confidence! Just sing a short part." Teacher He also chimed in, signaling Pengpeng to sing with confidence.

Hearing Teacher He say that, Peng Peng was naturally relieved. However, he still asked Chen Qing to help with the accompaniment. He didn't have the ability to sing a cappella, so naturally Chen Qing wouldn't refuse Peng Peng's small request.

This time, Chen Qing didn't use the keyboard but instead used the guitar for simple accompaniment. He wanted to finish playing as soon as possible so that Teacher Huang could start making breakfast. Seeing that Peng Peng was ready, he immediately began to play.

Promotion and demotion, praise and criticism, and critique of current affairs.
Rows upon rows, opening and closing

Previously, Peng Peng stumbled when reciting this passage, but this time he sang it very fluently. It's true that singing is easier than simply reciting.

Moreover, this song is not difficult. There are no high or low notes or any transitions between true and falsetto voices. As long as you are familiar with the lyrics and don't get stuck, you won't have any problems singing it.

This was also something Chen Qing considered. After all, Peng Peng wasn't a professional singer, and he hadn't even had any professional training. Songs that were too complicated or difficult were definitely not suitable for him, but this song, "Rare Characters," was perfect for him.

The melody is relatively simple, but the lyrics will immediately grab everyone's attention, which will likely have a slight impact on his popularity later on.

"Wow! Xiao Chen, you're amazing! You actually managed to write a song using so many obscure characters. What were you thinking?" Teacher He exclaimed sincerely after listening to the song.

"Wow! Everyone says I'm smart, but now I'm really curious about your brain, Xiao Chen. You're a genius!" Huang Sanshi was equally impressed.
