Chapter 8: The Father and the Son

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the gate of the community, Li Shuwen stopped again.

The "Lao Liu Video Store" on the side of the road brought a big speaker to the door, and it was full of love and love, and it was very excited--Dad Li suddenly remembered the song that Li Qian sang that day.

Of course, he didn't go to appreciate the songs, he went to appreciate the lyrics.

In his opinion, the songs that the young people like these years are shouting back and forth day by day, but they are actually empty and boring, and they can't get to the point at all! Not to mention this, even the works published in literary magazines are becoming more and more impetuous, and it seems that between the lines, in addition to the banknotes, it is **, as if it does not come from life without this--the economy is becoming more and more developed, but the spirit is becoming more and more depressed.

There is not much good literature.

In this era, it is rare that someone can write the lyrics very exquisitely, which makes Dad Li very interested.

Put the car in front of the store, and Dad Li pushed the door in.

There was a young man sitting at the counter, and when he saw Dad Li coming in, he raised his head and looked, "What do you want to buy?"

Dad Li said: "Recently, I heard from a friend that there is a song called "Dark Fragrance" that is very good, do you have any here?"

"Dark incense?" The young man was a little confused, paused, and asked, "Who sang it?"

"Uh...... I really don't know about that. ”

The young man lowered his head, frowned and knocked on the door of his head, shook his head and said: "I can't think of anyone who sang a song called "Dark Fragrance", I stay in this store every day, and I don't brag about it, I have heard all these tapes and cD songs sold on the market, but the one called "Dark Fragrance" is ...... Haven't heard of it. ”

Dad Li was stunned, "oh", and it took a long time to come back to his senses, turn around and go out.

But after going out and pushing the bicycle and walking a few steps, he stopped again, muttering to himself, "Don't you sell such songs in video stores? No one likes to listen to them? This is strange, shouldn't this be? Now these young people are really ...... I don't understand!"

Turning his head, he saw another video store not far across the street.

So I pushed the cart and went straight to the goal.

Go in and ask, do you know the song "Dark Fragrance"?

A: I don't know, I haven't heard of it.

He withdrew, puzzled.

Is it true that no one listens to this song and no one likes it? That's why these video stores don't go in as if they have made an appointment?

But he obviously thinks this song is not bad, whether it is from the lyrics or the tune, it should be regarded as a good song, how can no one like to listen to it?

He doesn't believe in evil!

As soon as he got up, he didn't go home first, but pedaled into the car and walked back.

From the school to the community, from the community to the school, Comrade Li rode back and forth on this road for 20 years, and he couldn't count how many times, and he knew what shops were on both sides of the road with his eyes closed.

So, he quickly found another store.

Q: Do you know the song "Dark Fragrance"?

A: I don't know, I haven't heard of it.

It's really evil!

Peddle the car, go, go to another house.

Q: Do you know the song "Dark Fragrance"?

A: I don't know, I haven't heard of it.

This time, Comrade Li was a little discouraged.

I have to be discouraged, one doesn't know, two don't know, and the third still doesn't know......

Fortunately, out of the door of this house, there is another one next to it.

Ask:......

Answer:......

Dad Li walked out of the nth video store, his face grim and full of worry.

He was helpless.

At the same time, it is very gratifying.

Because he can already be sure that the song "Dark Fragrance", which he thinks is written quite well, is really not listened to or sold!

This made him have to sigh that the young people under him are really impetuous: such a good song, such a good word, is there no young person willing to calm down and listen to and feel the artistic conception in the lyrics?

Thankfully, fortunately...... Fortunately, my son has been nurtured by himself since he was a child, although he is naughty, but his aesthetic taste is not too far away - you see, so many songs that have never been heard of in video stores, this kid is stunned to be able to find out, and he is ready to sing it to his little girlfriend, which shows that his vision is still very unique.

Unconsciously, Dad Li thought of his son's education, began to summarize its successes, and at the same time brought out the current education system and began to reflect deeply......

Well, that's purely a knee-jerk reaction from an old educator.

Riding his Yangtze River brand bicycle all the way home and thinking deeply, he had just entered the community and was greeted by a car, Dad Li just subconsciously avoided the roadside, but he didn't expect the car to stop slowly.

"Uncle Li, are you off work?"

Dad Li was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw Wang Jingxue in the red sports car, came back to his senses immediately, got out of the car, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, is this going out?"

Wang Jingxue said: "I'm going back to Shuntian Mansion." Uncle Li, my dad has been busy with business recently, and he is often away from home, and I am too busy to live at home. When I come back during the Chinese New Year, please drink with my Aunt Geng, okay?"

Dad Li laughed, waved his hand and said: "How many years have you been an old neighbor, you still need to explain this? You can rest assured that you are busy with your going!

Wang Jingxue showed a strange look on her face when she heard this, but she quickly smiled disappreciably and nodded, "Then I'll leave Uncle Li, please!" After that, he raised his hand to hang up the gear lever and was about to start the car.

Dad Li suddenly remembered what happened just now, and hurriedly said, "Xiaoxue, Uncle suddenly remembered and asked you something." ”

Wang Jingxue stopped what she was doing and said, "You have something to say." ”

Dad Li said: "Recently, there seems to be a song called "Dark Fragrance", I asked around the video store, and they all said that they had never heard of it, you stayed in the music circle, and you are familiar with this part, Uncle thinks you must have heard of it?"

Wang Jingxue frowned when she heard this, shook her head and said, "Whose song is called "Dark Fragrance"?"

Dad Li said: "Ah, it's called dark incense, as for whose song...... This, hehe, I really don't know. ”

Wang Jingxue thought about it, thought seriously for a moment, shook her head again and said, "What the people in the video store said should be right, I haven't heard of this song either...... Uncle Li, you don't know, those of us who make music, what new songs have been released on the street, whether you like it or not, we will listen to it, so in the past few years, I'm sure I've heard almost all of them, but this one you said ...... I really haven't heard of it. ”

Dad Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "You haven't heard of it?"

Wang Jingxue said seriously: "No." And he said, "Maybe it's an old song from the past? In this way, uncle, don't worry, I'll help you check the information when I go back, if there really is such a song, I'll find you a tape and send it over, okay?"

Dad Li was in a slight distraction, and when he heard this, he just nodded subconsciously, "Oh, oh, that's good, that's good, then please help your uncle find ......"

Wang Jingxue smiled at him and hung up, "Then I'll leave Uncle Li first, and I'll call you first when I find out the news." Good bye. ”

"Oh, okay, okay, goodbye, goodbye. ”

The engine of the red trot thuded, and the car sped away.

Dad Li's brows were furrowed like terraces, and he stood there holding the car for a long time without moving.

At this moment, for some reason, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the conversation between father and son that day, and he remembered it in a trance, as if it was ...... Probably...... Possible...... What did Xiao Qian say at that time?

That "Dark Incense", he wrote it himself?

…………

Dad Li was out for a long time, and when he got home, Mama Li was already busy picking vegetables.

When I heard the door ringing and saw that it was Li's father coming back, Li's mother began to complain, "The price of pork has risen again! This time the price of pork has risen by three cents per catty! When I was shopping for vegetables, I heard many people talking there, saying that the price of pork has entered the level of developed countries one step ahead of schedule." ”

"Ah!" Dad Li didn't have the heart to deal with this, Mama Li said a word, and he responded with a voice.

Sitting in the living room, he lit a cigarette, a little distracted.

Li's mother said to him: "Smoke in the living room again, I'll just let you smoke it, my son is only seventeen years old, and he is growing up, don't smoke it for him!"

Dad Li retorted, "What does smelling a little cigarette have to do with being tall, what kind of logic do you have! Besides, he is 1.8 meters old, and it's okay if he doesn't grow long!"

Mother Li glared, "What are you talking about, it's okay if you don't have a long name!"

…………

The two of them were arguing happily when the sound of the key being pulled out to open the door was heard.

Dad Li suddenly came to his senses, the cigarette was extinguished, and he stood up.

As soon as Li Qian came in with his guitar on his back, Li's father said, "Xiaoqian, you come to the study, Dad asks you something." ”

Mama Li glanced at Dad Li, who was about to escape, with a posture of the winner being the king, "I'm too lazy to bother with you!" After speaking, she turned around and went into the kitchen again.

Li Qian entered the study with a confused expression.

Dad Li asked, "Xiaoqian, I remember the song you said you sang that day...... It's the one called "Dark Incense", which you wrote yourself?"

After the painful experience of that night, Li Qian's face has thickened a lot now, and he immediately nodded without hesitation, "Ah, I wrote it!"

"The lyrics and the tune are ......"

"I wrote it. ”

"Oh......"

Dad Li let out a long oh and stopped talking.

Li Qian asked, "What's the matter?" Why do you want to ask this again?"

Dad Li took out another cigarette and deliberately looked at the door of the house - Li Qian went over and closed the door for him in a playful way.

Dad Li lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and said: "I just went outside and asked several video stores, and they all said that they had never heard of this song called Dark Fragrance, and I happened to meet Xiaoxue's girl on the way back, she is not a singer, so I asked her casually, and she also said...... Haven't heard of it. This song...... Did you really write it yourself?"

Li Qian was speechless and nodded.

"Words and songs?"

Li Qian nodded again and said affirmatively: "Even the words and the song." ”

Dad Li suddenly fell silent again.
