When Qin Yin and Yang Yun had breakfast together, Qin Yin told Yang Yun about her plan to go back to the provincial capital first and then to the small mountain village. Yang Yun was quite surprised by Qinyin's plan: "Are you unhappy in the special economic zone?" Qinyin muttered: "No, I'm very happy here, but I think that long-term happiness comes from one's own struggle, not by human care." ”

Yang Yun looked puzzled: "Now that the reform and opening up have been carried out, the ideology also needs to be updated, and interpersonal relationships are also productive forces." ”

Qin Yin smiled: "When I was in a small mountain village, I wanted to go out and explore the big place. However, when I arrived in places like provincial towns and special economic zones, I felt weak. In the provincial capital, I need Chen Lai's care, and here, I can't do without you. ”

"Whether it's Chen Lai or me, aren't you the ones you met after you came out to wander? Yang Yun said.

Qin Yin told Yang Yun everything he had thought about the night before. Then he said the reason for returning to the small mountain village, "I plan to go back to review and study, and then take the college entrance examination." "Two or three years ago, my sister and I took the college entrance examination together, and she was admitted, but I didn't. But I have the foundation, work hard, and hope to get in. ”

When it came to going back to the small mountain village to study for the college entrance examination, Yang Yun, as a college graduate, was not surprised, on the contrary, she changed her persuasion just now and said firmly: "Okay! ”

Qin Yin finally said goodbye to Yang Yun and stepped on the bus back to the provincial capital. Before getting into the car, Yang Yun took out a letter and asked Qin Yin to hand it to Chen Lai when he returned to the provincial capital. "Do you know Chen Lai?" asked Qin Yin curiously. Yang Yun shook her head. Qin Yin didn't want to ask too much, so he got into the car with Yang Yun's letter in his arms.

The car was slowly bumping on the seemingly plain road for another whole day. The sound of the piano in the car, I originally liked to look at the scenery outside the window. But on this trip, Qin Yin didn't have the interest to look out the window, all she thought about was her own way in the future. Originally, she managed to escape just to avoid the troubles at home, but now she plans to go back. In her opinion, only by returning to the small mountain village can she calm down and study for the exam. Wandering outside is a wandering soul after all, without sustenance, and cannot eat other people's food and do your own thing as a matter of course. She plans to quietly return to the small mountain village, quietly hide and review, and then take the college entrance examination. Kotone thought of the joy of being admitted to the university and fell asleep happily. She dreamed that she had received her acceptance letter, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.

finally came to the provincial capital, and it was already the lights of thousands of homes. The road is already familiar, Qin Yin carried the small backpack on his back and walked straight to Chen Lai's restaurant.

Soon, I arrived at Chen Lai's restaurant. The restaurant was dark, Qin Yin looked around, the lights were still on, and it was usually time for Chen to clean up or prepare for a break. Why are the lights turned off today? Qin Yin was puzzled, and she didn't have the key to the restaurant on her body, so she had to ask the people in the shop next door, and they said that Chen Lai was open for business today, but no one knew where Chen Lai went. Knocking on the door, calling people, and working for a while, to make sure that Chen Lai was not there, Qin Yin thought of the hostel where he stayed when he first came to the provincial capital, and planned to stay in the hostel for a while.

After another journey, the exhausted piano reached the hotel. The waiter at the inn apparently remembered Kotoin and said "long time no see" while hurriedly coming over to receive Kotoin. Qin Yin breathed a sigh of relief, put down her small backpack, and waited for the waiter to register. The waiter looked through the records and said to Qinyin with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, today's room is full." ”

"Full?" said Kotone helplessly, "Looks like I'm going to have to wander tonight." Qin Yin asked the waiter, what other hostels are around?

The waiter pointed to the direction of the south and said, "There is a music café not far from there today, and there are many people who come from all over to enjoy music, so it is estimated that the surrounding hostels are full." ”

Qin Yin heard a new term again, and her face was full of doubts. The waiter was also patient, and introduced to Qinyin that it was a music café in the Dongfang Hotel about two or three miles to the south. Originally, this music café was opened to enrich the nightlife of foreign guests, but now that the reform and opening up has been carried out, the land of southern Guangdong will take the lead in the country, and the concept has been liberalized, and the common people in the market can also participate, all of which are very good music and songs.

Qin Yin's face finally relaxed: Isn't this her favorite music and songs, and she dreamed of seeing them? She thought of Chen Qian's investment in an audio-visual products factory in the special economic zone, Chen Qian and Chen Lai both liked music, and she immediately became happy, she estimated that Chen Lai would definitely not let go of this music and song night, yes, Chen Lai must have participated in the music café.

Qin Yin left the hostel, asked for directions all the way, and headed for the Dongfang Hotel. Perhaps the Dongfang Hotel in the provincial capital is a place that everyone knows, no one knows, as long as the name of the Dongfang Hotel is mentioned, passers-by know everything, and they have given the sound of the piano to show the way.

The distance of two or three miles is indeed not far for people like Qinyin who are used to walking mountain roads. But on this night, it was so far away, because she was not sure if she would be able to meet Chen Lai, and she was not sure what would happen even if she arrived at the Dongfang Hotel.

The stars in the sky sparkled, and the pedestrians on the earth were sparse. Qin Yin walked on the streets and alleys of the provincial capital, walking in the night of the city, but felt a kind of wandering bumps and loneliness in his heart. For the first time, she felt that this large provincial city did not belong to her, no one waited for her to go home, no one gave her a bowl of warm porridge, no one settled her soul.

As the hostel waiter said, the Dongfang Hotel did not refuse a stranger or countryman, and Qin Yin entered the lobby of the hotel smoothly.

The lobby is full of people, but it is quite orderly, there are musical instruments in the center of the lobby, some fashionable middle-aged people, young people, some blowing, some beating, some beating gongs and drums, melodious music wafts throughout the lobby. There were also a lot of listeners, and people who came in groups sat around the coffee table, drinking tea, talking and laughing, and enjoying the beautiful music. There was also a group of people standing in the corner of the lobby who had not been able to grab a seat.

Completely oblivious to the fatigue and fatigue of the journey, Kotoin stood quietly in the corner, enjoying the song of her dreams:

The host reported that the male voice sang "Toast Song" solo. Then a personable man walked to the center of the stage, singing passionately: "Come on, show the infinite beauty of the future, the spring breeze blows in everyone's chest, the wine pours the fire in the heart, and the fighting spirit never retreats, today I drink the victory wine, and tomorrow I will go into battle a hundred times more vigorous......"

After singing a song, the song starts again. The female solo "Our Life is Full of Sunshine", a beautiful woman in a dress, the song is very pleasant: "The song of love flutters in the wind, our hearts fly into the distance, looking forward to the beautiful revolutionary ideal, ah dear people, hand in hand to move forward, our life is full of sunshine and sunshine ......"

It wasn't until the music café sounded the obvious ending music that the piano suddenly came back to its senses. She looked around the lobby, there were too many people, even if Chen Lai was there, she couldn't find it, so she rushed straight to Chen Lai's restaurant.

Qin Yin's estimation of Chen Lai was not wrong at all, Chen Lai didn't know that Qin Yin would come back at night, he did go to the music café. When Qinyin walked back to the restaurant, Chen Lai, who was riding a bicycle, had already returned to the restaurant to rest.

When Chen Lai saw Qinyin, he hurriedly boiled tea and cooked to satisfy Qinyin's hunger. The soul wandering in the sound of the piano can finally settle down.

Qin Yin suddenly remembered Yang Yun's letter to Chen Lai, took out the letter from her backpack, and handed it to Chen Lai. Chen Lai also looked puzzled: "I don't know Yang Yun, what letter did she write to me?"

Tearing open the envelope with the words "Chen Lai receiving", Chen Lai opened the letter, a complicated expression swept over his face, and then handed the letter back to Qin Yin.
