Yan Erhe arrived at his sister's house, obviously a little reserved.
But Yan Changqing didn't care. In front of her aunt and her family, she said, "Uncle, your family's life is really good. My aunt has gained weight here and turned gray."
Eating fat and turning gray shows that you have not endured hardship and that your life is good. There is no such thing as men, women, old and young losing weight together.
My uncle chuckled. Although his parents did not speak, they obviously looked very happy.
Then looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, Yan Changqing looked envious again: "My dear, the flowers you grow at home are so beautiful. These flowers look beautiful. Hey, what is this? The flowers bloom like a cat's face.
…”
"That's the cat-faced flower. It was planted by your great-aunt. I don't have the ability to plant so many flowers." My aunt was very happy to see that her nephew was sensible.
Yan Changqing quickly complimented the old man: "Grandpa, you are so awesome. These flowers and plants are so energetic. They look good no matter how you look at them. This one looks good, and that one looks good too..."
The old man is the head of the family, he is not easy to talk to, and he has always looked down on others. It was not until he got older that he got better... and he was not good at all. Later, my uncle's mother passed away, and the old man had no wife, and he had no energy, etc.
Don't care anymore.
He really loves to grow flowers and plants, and he takes care of everything in the yard. He also likes to hear people say that the flowers and plants he grows are good.
After racking his brains and saying a lot of good things, Yan Changqing saw that his second uncle didn't say a word when it came to the end, so he had to say it himself: "Uncle, my second uncle said he would take me into the city to have a look, and he wanted to borrow your bicycle for a ride. You can think of it.
no?"
My uncle is a good uncle. He waved his hand and said, "Ride!"
It's done.
…
The bicycle, known as the 28-bar, was walking on the road paved with cobblestones mixed with sand and soil. Yan Erhe's face was full of thoughts: "Qijin, you are really enlightened! But it's too early. I
I don’t even remember such little things from my childhood..."
Yan Changqing felt very uncomfortable and was too lazy to speak.
He wanted to sit on the back of the bicycle, but Yan Erhe refused to let him, fearing that he would fall, and insisted that he sit in front of him diagonally. In this way, the arm holding the handlebars became a fence to ensure that he would not fall.
Now there are an erhu and a pump on the back seat, as well as a small bag tied together, which contains files, wrenches, screwdrivers and glue to prevent problems with the bike midway.
The road was bumpy and bumpy, and I sat on an iron pole. Even though I had folded the snakeskin bag of vegetables into several layers for cushioning, the feeling...
The key is Yan Erhe's riding skills... His level cannot be called skill, it can only be called an ability to ride, and he doesn't even know how to read the road.
It didn't take long for Yan Changqing to feel a little numb in his legs. He quickly asked to stop the car, then got out of the car and jumped up and down.
Anyone with experience knows that if you don't move or sit for a long time, your legs and feet will be numb and you can't touch the ground. The feeling will be as sore as you want it to be.
Looking at the jumping Yan Changqing, Yan Erhe suddenly said: "I did something wrong today!"
Yan Changqing was stunned: "What did you do wrong?"
"I should wear something a little worse for wear." Yan Erhe said and began to imagine. "We are well-dressed, and we are not like poor people who cannot come out to make a living. We have to wear something worse to..."
Yan Changqing looked at the yellowed shirt he was wearing.
The shirt had been worn and washed for an unknown amount of time, and now it was as thin as low-quality cotton. You could clearly see a few small holes in the vest underneath.
It’s very suitable for making short videos for girls after the show. The see-through outfit is very popular!
Look at his gray trousers again. You can't tell the color clearly. The left knee and the bottom of the back butt are all patched.
By the way, the shirt has not been mended because it is his best item of clothing and he usually does not wear it in the village.
The front rubber of a pair of military green cloth shoes on my feet has also been repaired.
These are already his 'good clothes'.
Looking at himself again, Yan Changqing is still wearing a vest with large trousers. The vest is not torn at all, but the trousers are made from adult clothes.
The sandals on my feet have been patched in several places. Yan Changqing himself was very skilled in this patching technique in his previous life. He only needs a small iron bar to complete the entire process.
Looking at his second uncle who was speaking so eloquently, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Do you think we are rich because we have money to sew and mend clothes?"
"That's not the case!" Yan Erhe's eloquence stopped abruptly. He didn't know what to say for a moment. "I mean, wear something worse..."
Yan Changqing motioned to him to look at his clothes: "If they are worn again, I will have no choice but to stop wearing them. How about we go to the county town street and have a snail busking performance?"
"This?" Yan Erhe was choked and had nothing to say. He shuddered when he thought about the scene, so he reached out and slapped him. "Get in the car and let's go!"
I can't help you, so I can't beat you?
I am the second uncle.
…
We stopped two or three times along the way. When Yan Changqing saw the small county town, he wanted to curse.
I don't want to scold others, I want to scold myself.
How could I have lost my mind in my previous life, so I thought that as long as I returned to today's era, I would be able to dominate and stand out.
Now it takes three or four hours to enter a county town, and it feels like your skin is peeling off.
It’s so difficult!
But I don’t have to think about anything else. The sun is already high. When it gets hotter, there will be no one on the street. Who will I perform for then?
The two of them didn't know much about the county town. Fortunately, there weren't many lively places in the county town. After some discussion, the two of them inquired and came to the entrance of a clothing market in the county town.
On one side is the station and on the other is the gate of the clothing market.
There is a sign hanging on the door next to the key: Tongshu County Public Security Bureau.
It looks very safe.
…
The door of the clothing market was made up of two pillars with an antique cornice on top. Yan Changqing took a look at it and decided to start his career as a busker next to the pillars.
But, when things get tough...it's better to think twice.
I don't know why I remembered this sentence. To be honest, Yan Changqing didn't want to do it anymore.
I always feel a little ashamed.
In my previous life, I had worked in factories, worked on construction sites, done renovations, run errands and delivered goods, but I had never done this!
Yan Erhe looked at his nephew and began to be a little confused. After looking at it, he understood: "Haha, you don't want to give up, do you? You said so energetically on the way, and now you are scared? You are here anyway..."
yes!
Come all come!
He spread the same snakeskin bag containing vegetables on the ground and sat on the ground.
Putting the erhu on his lap, Yan Changqing looked at the people coming and going and closed his eyes.
It’s not about pretending, you have to feel it first.
Imagine that you are not on the street, but at the seaside before rebirth, and you will immediately feel different.
At this moment, the noise on the street turned into the sound of waves and wind, and the aroma from the nearby food stall turned into the smell of the sea...
Think about your skill progress bar, and then give yourself some courage and confidence.
A level 1 Erhu skill that exceeds 50% of the skill progress bar is actually considered proficient, at least to the point where you can do whatever you want.
Anyone who has learned an instrument knows that even if it is the first time to listen to a song, you can play it according to your own impression of the song without knowing the music score.
It's not an advanced stage, nor a high level, but as long as you take it seriously, it's okay to play on the street.
Then, Yan Changqing looked down at the worn erhu in his hand.
Kaila!
A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides...
The erhu, whose sound quality is not very good, seems to be completing its final mission. The sound, which is a bit hoarse and whimpering, has a bit of pride and grandeur.
In this noisy street, it was like a ray of breeze blowing so quietly.
It's not amazing, and it doesn't have much momentum, but it's so subtle that people can't help but listen...
…
Yan Erhe stood aside stupidly.
He had come to the county town for a "poor trip" before. He and the boys in the village would take whatever cars they had, and if they didn't have a car, they would run around and come to the county town to watch the excitement.
I don’t dare to take out the few cents I have in my pocket, and I can’t afford to buy anything I look at.
I have also been to the clothing market, but I didn't dare to ask about the price. I only dared to listen to others asking, let alone try it on.
The only expense was to buy a big sesame seed cake for 20 cents and take it home.
Standing here now, watching his nephew "pretend" to play the erhu, his ears could hear the tune of the cocoon, and he felt very complicated for a moment.
Before he could think too much, there were suddenly many more people in front of him.
There is no entertainment nowadays, and it is not easy to do something new. For such a young child to play the erhu on the street, it is more or less a new thing, and it is normal to attract some people.
"Whose child? Can he play the erhu at such a young age?"
"This string is played well! The kid is quite capable."
"Aren't there any adults watching? Are you a busker?"
