Chapter 133: Asking for a song
In the evening, after relatives and friends left, Zhuo's mother's face was not very good, and Zhuo Ziyuan knew from a distance that it must be the aunt's family who made another request.
"Mom, did Auntie tell you something again?" Zhuo Ziyuan naturally couldn't watch his mother sulk, and he said everything well.
"It's still those things, seeing that our days are good, they want to ask us to borrow money, saying that they also want to open a supermarket in their town, and they will ask for 100,000 yuan, where is this borrowing money, and they are obviously coming to me to collect debts, can they still expect them to pay back the money?"
For these things, although Zhuo's father couldn't get used to this relative, he didn't say anything, just simply snorted to express his dissatisfaction.
Zhuo Ziyuan felt that it was not a way to do this all the time, it had to be solved, otherwise it would not be a matter for his mother to be angry every time, so he muttered for a while and said, " Mom, otherwise, they open a supermarket, no problem, no problem with borrowing money, but they have to clearly list the budget for opening a supermarket, not just a casual one to ask for 100,000 yuan, they have to list the estimated expenses of each item, these expenses are clear to us, and then check it, and then, they have to list how much they can come up with, and then we will make up for the remaining money, we can't expect to open a supermarket, let us pay, don't support their habit. Although they don't expect them to repay the money, the IOU still has to be written, and before the money is repaid, I believe they are embarrassed to borrow again. ”
It's not that Zhuo Ziyuan is stingy, on the contrary, he is very angry, and he is still willing to help with things that are within his ability and within the ability of his aunt's family, such as arranging a job, even if they don't usually work much, or arrange any way for his cousin in the future, it is reasonable, but they don't ask for such a request, but directly ask for money. As the saying goes, saving the emergency is not helping the poor, and with the virtue of the aunt's family, if they are really used to them, they will definitely think of various ways to complain and ask for money from Zhuo's mother, and the matter will be endless.
"Well, I think Xiaoyuan's method is good, and after borrowing money, I also made it clear to them, it's okay to borrow money, but you can't open your mouth, no one's money fell from the sky, they have to say the reason why they want to take so much, and before the money is paid off, unless it's urgent, don't think about borrowing money anymore." Zhuo's father agreed with his son's statement.
"I'm just unwilling, she's a sister, and she never wants to help me, so she knows to come to me to rub oil and water. "Zhuo's mother really doesn't want to see this sister.
"Okay, Mom, don't think about those unhappy things, aren't we living a comfortable life now, it will be more comfortable in the future, it doesn't matter if you help a little, relatives and friends will definitely count on us to help the village in the future." Zhuo Ziyuan knew that he had thought of the previous things and enlightened.
"Everyone else is easy to say, her family just doesn't want to care, and they don't want to think about how she used to treat me, why is she embarrassed to open this mouth now, as if I really owe them. Zhuo's mother was still indignant.
Zhuo Ziyuan is not far away, this can only rely on Zhuo's mother to figure it out by herself, speaking of which this aunt is really, can't you ease the relationship with your mother first, and then make a request, I really don't have anything to do with myself.
This is just a small episode, overall, this year is still very lively and happy, Zhao Lan is now in the sixth grade of primary school, and will be promoted to junior high school in half a year, although her grades are not very good now, but fortunately, the junior high school in the town does not need to take the test, as long as a few main courses can be passed, I can only hope that this little girl can study hard in junior high school.
Zhao Lan is very sensible, she doesn't need Zhuo's father and Zhuo's mother to advise, she works hard herself, and she cherishes her happy life now. However, there was a lot of difference before, and it was not something that could be made up for this year, but fortunately, after arriving at Zhuo Ziyuan's house, she could devote herself to her studies, and she hoped and believed that she could be admitted to a good university, and repay these kind people who have selflessly contributed to her in the future.
Zhao Lan is also learning to paint now, this elementary school teacher is teaching, plus Zhuo Ziyuan and Li Xinyuan's usual guidance during the holidays, she is practicing silently alone, her ideal is to be as versatile as Brother Yuan and Sister Yuan, and outstanding in learning, in her eyes, Zhuo Ziyuan and Li Xinyuan are her idols, and the goal she is chasing.
Originally, Zhao Lan still wanted to learn violin from Li Xinyuan, but Li Xinyuan kept having an accident, and Zhuo Ziyuan didn't let her mention it, and asked her to improve her academic performance and then consider learning violin.
Bored at home, Zhuo Ziyuan returned to his residence in the city on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the beginning of classes in the third year of high school was in the fourteenth year, and there was more than a week left, Li Xinyuan of course followed, she can almost say now that Zhuo Ziyuan is far away, she will go.
The next day, a guest came to the door, Tong Xue, as before, she didn't call Zhuo Ziyuan, but came directly to the door, and fortunately Zhuo Ziyuan came back so early, otherwise I don't know how many times she had to run in vain.
Tong Xue didn't come to the door alone, and she didn't bring Tong Wei, she brought a yellow-haired girl.
Yes, the yellow-haired girl, this is Zhuo Ziyuan's summary, the girl in front of her has dyed her colorful hair, with yellow as the main color, isn't it a yellow-haired girl, Zhuo Ziyuan has really never seen such a hair dye in reality, and I don't know if this kind of hair dye is popular now, anyway, he hasn't seen a hair dye for so long.
As soon as this yellow-haired girl entered the door, she kept looking at Zhuo Ziyuan with those thief eyes, and after looking at Zhuo Ziyuan, she looked at Li Xinyuan again.
"Who are you?" Zhuo Ziyuan couldn't stand being looked at like a monster, and asked Tong Xue directly.
"This is my cousin Xue Mei, we came because my cousin asked me to bring it to meet you..."
"Cousin?"
"My uncle's house. ”
Zhuo Ziyuan only then knew that Tong Xue's mother's surname was Xue, no wonder she had this name, and it turned out to be a homonym for her mother's surname.
"Okay, just tell me what's the matter, I've never seen you like this. Looking at Tong Xue's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhuo Ziyuan felt funny, he had never seen it, when Tong Xue got along with him, he was a down-and-out and straightforward character.
"I told you not to be angry. ”
"Say, I'm not angry. "It's all children, how big of a deal can they be to be angry?
"I told my cousin about you being a leaf. Tong Xue said quickly.
"What?" Zhuo Ziyuan didn't react for a while, he hadn't used the pen name Ye Zi to sing for a long time.
"At the end of last year, my cousin came to my house to play, and when she saw the song disc, she said she liked you very much, and kept asking me how I came here, and I accidentally said that I missed my mouth. ”
"Like me..."Zhuo Ziyuan was a little confused.
"No, I like the songs you wrote, she said that the songs you wrote are all golden songs, and I admire you very much, oops, do you listen to the key points, I mean I accidentally revealed that you are a leaf. Tong Xue explained for a while, it felt wrong, please pay attention to the key points.
"I'm scared to death, what should I do, don't you just know that I'm a leaf, what's the matter, as long as you don't take a loudspeaker to promote it everywhere. Zhuo Ziyuan joked, and by the way, he looked at Xue Mei next to him, and Xue Mei was also staring at him.
"You're really a leaf, it's not like what I imagined. Xue Meihu said suspiciously, the person in front of her is too young, don't be Tong Xue, this girl was deceived.
"Believe it or not, but what do you imagine the leaves should look like? Zhuo Ziyuan is actually very disgusted with people who dress up very abnormally like this, and always want to attract people's attention through strange dresses.
"Shorter, more handsome, older, and weaker overall. Xue Mei really said a rough idea.
"I'm sorry I didn't get as long as you wanted. Zhuo Ziyuan said angrily, am I still handsome?
"Poof. Tong Xue and Li Xinyuan laughed on the side, while Xue Mei looked at Zhuo Ziyuan with wide eyes.
"Don't be poor, my cousin heard that I knew Ye Zi, so she asked me to introduce her, and she wanted to ask you to help them write a song. Tong Xue finally suppressed her smile.
Zhuo Ziyuan had a headache, he knew that it was not so simple, it was easy to write songs, he had a lot of songs, but not just any cat or dog could sing his songs, writing songs for such a yellow hair, didn't it ruin his hard work, no, it ruined the hard work of those originals.
Seeing that Zhuo Ziyuan didn't speak, Tong Xue explained, "That's the case, my cousin formed a band with a few friends in college, and for several years, she has been covering other people's songs, and now it's been more than a year since she graduated, they want to have an original song, but they haven't been satisfied with the creation, doesn't this catch you as a god, of course you have to seize the opportunity." ”
"It's been a long time since I've tried to write a song, and I don't necessarily write well, so don't count on me, you see if you want to have lunch at my place, I'll go buy some groceries. Zhuo Ziyuan excused himself while changing the topic.
In fact, through Lu Tao in the past two years, there have been several groups of people looking for Zhuo Ziyuan to write songs, but Zhuo Ziyuan is no longer short of money to sell songs, and there are no people he particularly knows who need his support or anything, except for giving Xu Xuehua some songs later, he has never sold songs to others.
It's rare to come here, of course, I want to stay for dinner, and at the same time, Tong Xue is also a smart person in ice and snow, so she naturally heard Zhuo Ziyuan's words, and after Zhuo Ziyuan went out to buy vegetables, Tong Xue chatted with Li Xinyuan.
"Xin Yuan, Zhuo Ziyuan really hasn't written a song for a long time, or is he unwilling to help?"
"Well, it's been a long time since I've seen Brother Ziyuan create, and you brought a stranger directly to the door like today, although Ziyuan didn't say anything, he probably wasn't very happy. Li Xinyuan is actually a little disgusted with Tong Xue's practice of pulling a stranger to the door, this is originally a small world for her and Brother Ziyuan, Tong Xue comes to disturb from time to time, but she can't be like her own family, just bring someone if she says she will bring someone.
Tong Xue didn't expect this, and when she heard Li Xinyuan mention it, she immediately reacted that Zhuo Ziyuan's performance at school was that no one was close, and he brought trouble to him, so he was probably a little angry.
"I didn't expect this, when he came back, I apologized to him, not an example, but my cousin is really not easy, they formed a band, in fact, the family is very opposed, fortunately, their family is not short of money, so they will play first. ”
"But if there are no more achievements, it is estimated that it will not take half a year, and some of us will not be able to bear the pressure of the family, and we will have to disband at that time. Xue Mei interjected next to her, she actually didn't believe that Zhuo Ziyuan was a leaf and could write such a good song, so after she came to Zhuo Ziyuan's house, she didn't show much enthusiasm, but now she can try to walk this road.
"Yes, cousin, they all like music and singing very much, otherwise they wouldn't have lasted so long, but their creative talent is limited, and they don't know any songwriters, Xinyuan, do you see if there is any way to get Zhuo Ziyuan to agree to help, can you help talk, Zhuo Ziyuan should be more able to listen to you." Tong Xue beat Li Xinyuan's side drum, after getting along for such a long time, the relationship between the two of them actually gets along very well, maybe it really responds to the common sentence, Tong Xue is not a fool, she naturally sees Li Xinyuan's intentions, and Zhuo Ziyuan has no love for Li Xinyuan, otherwise the beautiful girl next to her would have started earlier.
"Well, we spend money to buy it, how did his previous songs sell, we are willing to increase the price, as long as there are good songs, the money is easy to say. Xue Mei said again, before she thought about it, Zhuo Ziyuan had sold songs before, and now as long as the price is negotiated, there should be no problem.
How did she know that Zhuo Ziyuan didn't care about the money from selling songs now, he was also selling favors if he wanted to sell them, many people can earn enough money for a lifetime to spend on a famous song, and it only costs a few dollars to sell songs.
"It's not about money. Li Xinyuan said, she sensitively heard the meaning of Xue Mei's words, and there was half a sentence that she didn't say because she took Tong Xue into account, if Tong Xue hadn't brought it, you Xue Mei wouldn't have wanted to enter this door at all, and talk about money, you are so rich, and you owe the money you owe to spend the family, what is there to be proud of.
"My cousin didn't mean that, really, it was really not easy for them, they persevered for so long, and they were very unwilling to give up like this. If you put yourself in your shoes, if you like the violin or painting very much, but because of some external reasons, you can't continue, will you be willing? Tong Xue naturally heard Li Xinyuan's dissatisfaction.
Li Xinyuan thought about it and felt that it was the same reason, "That's it, when you eat, you explain things clearly, and I will also help say good things next to me, but please correct your attitude." As he spoke, he glanced at Xue Mei.
Xue Mei is so angry, is there anything wrong with what she said, even if the tone is not very good, and she doesn't particularly believe it in her heart, but she is also a college graduate, you are a little girl, you actually gave me a look, I originally wanted to fight back, but when I saw Tong Xue looking at her and shook her head, and then thought that this was her last hope, she endured it.
"Zhuo Ziyuan, I apologize to you, you shouldn't just say hello without saying a word, bring someone you don't know to come to the door, it will definitely not be in the future, you won't be angry and won't let me come again." Before the meal, Tong Xue first formally apologized to Zhuo Ziyuan.
Zhuo Ziyuan turned his head and glanced at Li Xinyuan, guessing what she said, the reason why he accepted Tong Xue coming over from time to time was because of the classmates, and the relationship was a little ambiguous, so it was difficult to refuse, and on the other hand, it was for Li Xinyuan, Li Xinyuan had never taken her classmates home, and she didn't know how she got along with her classmates, but every time Tong Xue came, the two of them would chat alone for a long time.
Li Xinyuan saw Zhuo Ziyuan looking over from afar and spit out her cute tongue at him.
"It's nothing, if I were angry, I wouldn't have left you to eat. ”
During the meal, Xue Mei looked at the boy differently, such a big boy could make such a delicious meal, but she didn't say anything about praise, she was still angry with the little girl.
Knowing that Zhuo Ziyuan was not angry, Tong Xue naturally took the matter of Xue Mei's band again, of course, the description was even more pitiful, I can't wait if the band disbands, Xue Mei will be depressed in the future, and Li Xinyuan is also helping by the side.
In the end, under Tong Xue's sentence "I beg you", he reluctantly agreed, this is the first time Tong Xue begged him to do something, if he doesn't do it, he will always be unhappy in his heart.
