7. Dream fragments
How difficult it is to prosper the country. It's the same with people, when they experience more difficulties, they will naturally become stronger.
Li Xiang, who felt like a child yesterday, feels like he has grown up today.
Although the pressure of the college entrance examination has been lifted, the burden of life has been pressed.
Li Xiang sat on the sofa, thinking about the current situation at home.
The family's main source of income over the years was the hotel.
The hotel is all run by my father, and my mother is a full-time mother, so I am all focused on Dou Dou and my teacher, and I don't have the time and energy to look for a job.
Therefore, it is actually my father who is making money alone at home.
Now that my father is hospitalized, according to the doctor who treated him, it is almost certain that he will walk with a limp in the future, and it is very likely that the hotel will not be able to open, and even if it can be opened, then I don't know about the Year of the Monkey.
Although the family has some savings, Li Xiang thinks it is definitely not much. After all, he knows the profit of the hotel for a year, and it is not enough to make his family rich, and it can only be regarded as a well-off line.
The expenses of the family are very large, the father's injury, the expenses of the two younger sisters, and the maintenance of the whole family, it must not be a small amount when you calculate it carefully.
Li Xiang also understands the truth of sitting and eating empty mountains.
My sister is still young, my father is injured, and my mother has to take care of all of this, so it is unrealistic to expect my mother to earn money to support the family.
Well, you can only rely on him. He Li thought that he was already the pillar of this family.
Thinking of this, Li Xiang instantly felt that Alexander on his body made him breathless, and finally realized a little bit of the pressure that his father usually shouldered.
He can look forward to college life without worries because someone is carrying the weight for him.
Now that this man has fallen, it is his turn to be in front.
It's just, how do you make money?
The easiest way to do this, of course, is to maintain a good business in your hotel.
But he doesn't know how to cook or run a business.
How to maintain the daily operation of a restaurant, his mind is blank.
While racking his brains, he packed up his things in his room and found a music Walkman that could no longer be found on the market, and a few words were written on the body of the Walkman, "My ideal".
He casually pressed the play button, and the tape inside began to work, and then a young male voice was heard, singing:
♪♪ When I was a child, there was a railroad ♪♪ next to my grandmother's house
♪♪ Passed through the summer of that young my summer vacation ♪♪
♪♪ Look at the train like a long fire-breathing dragon ♪♪
♪♪ That year, the sunset in the pine shadows was a long runway ♪♪
♪♪ The evening sun sets in the center of ♪♪ the waving stone slab
Hearing the singing, Li Xiang's distressed face finally couldn't help but smile.
This song was sung by him, and this song was also written by him, with original lyrics and songs.
The body had just recovered and was still a little weak, Li Xiang sat on a chair in the room, listened to the singing in the Walkman, and fell asleep unconsciously.
——
"Li Xiang ~ Li Xiang!"
As the sun set, my mom showed up outside the classroom on time, her smiling face printed on the windowpane, waving at me and grinning, what a silly girl.
"Li Xiang, your mother is here. The girl at the table thought I hadn't seen it and reminded.
"Hmm. I lowered my head and straightened my bag and replied with a nonchalant look.
"Li Xiang, Li Xiang, is that the male classmate in your class? "My mom pushed the wheelchair and looked at the school grass in the class excitedly, as if she had never seen a handsome guy.
"Mom, don't mess around. I knew her "recklessness," warily reminded.
However, it was still a step too late, only to hear her greet her warmly, and said in a flirtatious tone: "Hi, hello, little handsome guy, I am Li Xiang's young lady." ”
I really want to cover my face, I don't have a face to see people.
On the way out of school, I complained, "Mom, can you not do this next time." ”
My mother hummed and sang and asked casually, "Don't do that?" Also, how did we agree, you must call me young lady outside. ”
I opened my mouth, and when the words came to my lips, I changed them to: "Little sister, don't sing love songs anymore!"
My mother immediately leaned into my ear and sang in a louder voice: "♪♪ I really miss you, in every rainy season, what you choose to forget is the one I am most reluctant to, the paper is short and long ♪♪."
I covered my ears.
My mom sang louder and transposed!
Ask me, "Do you have a girl you like?"
Me: "Ahhh
Seeing this, my mother let out a loud laugh like a tiger aunt.

There was a clicking sound in the room, and Li wanted to wake up.
The Walkman cassette was strapped.
He pressed the stop button, turned on the Walkman, and pulled out the tape inside.
The tape is a primitive tape, which is used to record himself singing, and there are a total of 5 songs in the entire tape, all of which are written and sung by Li Xiang himself.
He put the Walkman away, thinking back to the dream he had just had, how many times was this?
Ever since he had a long, tiring dream after being hit by a car and falling unconscious, he has been dreaming about people and things in the other world from time to time.
Oh no, a few days before that time, during the lunch break at school, he also dreamed of some people and things, and the nightmare woke him up, and when he woke up, he found that there were tears on his face, for which he was ridiculed by Li Dan.
Since then, fragments of that world have kept flashing in Li Xiang's mind, just like this fragmented dream just now.
"Li Xiang ~ Li Xiang ~"
"Who?!"
Li Xiang looked around in surprise, no one was calling him, it was his own auditory hallucination.
Li Xiang rubbed his temples, looked up at the ceiling in a daze, and after a while, turned on the computer and transcribed the song he heard in the dream just now.
Then he took out his mobile phone and clicked on the saved recording, which revealed the voice of Li Xiang singing by himself, which was a song he wrote down from his dream during his hospitalization.
Li Xiang played it repeatedly, and wrote down three of the four songs he had saved on his laptop.
Coupled with the song "Paper Short Love" just now, he wrote down four songs from his dream.
Actually, there are 5 songs, but one of them is called "Sailor", which is also available in this world.
The difference is that the lyricist, composer and singer are different.
The person who sings this song "Sailor" in the real world is called Wu Hansheng, but the person in the dream world is called Zheng Zhihua.
Zheng Zhihua, there is no such person here.
So he cut the song.
In addition to this "Sailor", the other three are not in the real world, and there are no singers who sing these three songs.
Li wanted to open the web page, type in "paper short love long", searched out a bunch of articles, no songs, and then picked a few words of lyrics in "Paper Short Love Long" search, but there was none.
"Paper Short Love" is also a product of a dream world and has nothing to do with this world.
He opened a new page and began to look up the novel in which the old man and the marlin had been wrestling.
He remembered that the book was called "The Old Man and the Sea", and the author was Hemingway.
Li Xiang likes literature very much, and has read many famous books since he was a child, but he has never heard of this book or this person.
There is no such novel on the Internet!
There is no such thing as Hemingway!
He tried to recall the contents of the book, but he only remembered some passages, and he couldn't remember the whole book at all, and it was impossible to remember it, and human memory was not perverted to such a point.
Or many dreams several times, remember some at a time, and finally be able to recover completely.
Judging from the part he remembers, this is a very high standard novel. In his dream, he heard "my mother" say that this "The Old Man and the Sea" is a world famous book that has inspired countless people, so he often reads it to "him" and hopes to inspire him.
Li Xiang sat on the sofa, thinking back to this little dream just now, and found that he couldn't remember the faces of everyone in the dream, and it was blurry, including "my mother" and "me".
He fell into deep thought, forgetting anything outside his body for a while, until the mobile phone rang, it was Li Dan calling.
Li Dan was a little worried when he saw that he had been gone for so long and hadn't come back, so he called to urge him to go home quickly.
"You come back quickly, Dou Dou and Shishi can't see you and refuse to sleep. ”
"Right away, I cleaned the house and went out now. ”
Li Xiang packed up his clothes and stuffed a large bag of mints from the drawer. He's a mint monster with a mint candy in his mouth, and he's uncomfortable.
Before heading out, he stuffed the Monchiqi doll on the floor and the half-painted painting on the coffee table into his bag, turned off the lights and went out.
Caught a taxi on the side of the road, and Li wanted to sit in the back seat and think about it. He is very good at singing, and now that he has four such beautiful songs, can he sing to make money?
