Chapter 025: Do I Really Have Nothing
"Don't need so much, don't need so much......" Gu Wenming's mind buzzed, and he subconsciously excused himself.
Liang Yifei took his bag and opened it, and put the money directly in.
"Teacher Gu, I also know a little bit about the situation in foreign countries, 20,000 yuan, according to the current exchange rate, is only about 3,000 US dollars, which is just a few months to deal with. You use it first. Liang Yifei said.
"Then ......" Gu Wenming gritted his teeth, "then do you need me to help you do something?"
He felt that Liang Yifei could be so generous, and he was afraid that he would have to put forward conditions next.
For him, it is a dilemma: if he accepts the money, he can save the emergency for the time being, but if he helps Liang Yifei run a school, he will lose his job if he doesn't do it well;
He knows his wife's character too well, he would rather die than retreat, cry and cry, scold and scold, but he will never come back to see people laughed at, he is really cornered, it's not impossible to go to a bar to dance or something!
Who knows, Liang Yifei shook his head and said, "Teacher Gu, there's nothing I want you to do." ”
"Huh?" Gu Wenming looked incomprehensible.
That's 20,000 yuan! The average person's salary for seven or eight years!
"Teacher Gu, if you are not afraid of your jokes, for me, it is not difficult to make money, on the contrary, it may be more meaningful for me to choose a suitable way to spend money. ”
Liang Yifei took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, Gu Wenming hurriedly picked up the match on the table and lit it for him across the table.
Liang Yifei thanked him, and gave Gu Wenming a scatter before he continued: "You talked to me about sending your wife abroad before, no matter what the reason, as a man, I am very moved and understand you." Let's not talk about compatriots and the like, the same man, I may not be able to do your feelings and open-mindedness. You take it and use it, and you will pay it back when you have the money. ”
After a pause, he smiled: "Just when I bought a happy one for myself." ”
"But aren't you going to run a school? Lend them all to me, what should you do?" After Gu Wenming finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Liang Yifei might not have deliberately shown favor, and he had no money.
"Teacher Gu, I said, it's not difficult for me to make money, 20,000 yuan, I will be able to earn it back soon, but if you don't have this money now, it is estimated that it will not take a few days to have a problem. I love money, but at the end of the day, money doesn't matter!" Liang said.
Gu Wenming struggled inwardly for a moment, but still took the bag and said, "That'...... Then I'll write you an IOU!"
"Hey, there's no need for that. Liang Yifei waved his hand.
Gu Wenming insisted on writing an IOU and solemnly handed it to Liang Yifei.
Liang Yifei took it and took a look, it was quite formal, there was interest, return time, and even ID number, looking at Gu Wenming's expression, he was probably ready to bite his finger and press a blood fingerprint.
"Then I'll take it. Liang Yifei looked at the wall clock and said, "While the bank is not closed, you hurry up to change foreign exchange and remit it, woman, see the money a day earlier, she will be at ease earlier." ”
"That'...... Then I'll go!"
"Slow down on the road, beware of losing it!" Liang Yifei said.
"Yes, I'll take a taxi to the bank!"
Gu Wenming picked up his foreskin and walked out.
Twenty thousand yuan, it is really not a big weight, but in Gu Wenming's hands, it seems to be carrying a mountain.
This is a mountain of human affection, and it is also a mountain that can save lives.
Just when he left his seat and didn't walk to the door, the background music in the café suddenly changed in style, from the previous low to a hoarse shout!
'I used to ask when you were going to come with me...... But you always laugh at me, and you have nothing......
Cui Jian, the king of rock and roll, has nothing.
In 1986, Cui Jian sang this song for the first time at the 100 singers concert of the International Year of Peace held in the capital, and then overnight, it became popular in the mainland.
To negative people, this is the bitterness and helplessness of this generation of young people, and to the ears of positive people, it is the cry of contemporary young people for the vision of changing the status quo of life in the tide of reform and opening up!
"I used to ask when you were going to come with me
I'm going to give you my pursuits, and my freedom
But you always laugh at me, and you have nothing
Shall I always be left with nothing in front of you?"
Cui Jian's shout recalled in Gu Wenming's ears, and there seemed to be something in his heart, which was violently touched!
He stopped slightly, looked back in the direction of Liang Yifei, but the sofa in the corner blocked his view.
He hesitated for a moment, took his bag, and strode out of the café.
……
After Gu Wenming left, Liang Yifei sat alone in the booth for a while.
I haven't heard it for a long time, the original version of Cui Jian's song, and later generations have heard those various versions, some are covered by others Cui Jian, and some are covered by Cui Jian himself, but there are subtle differences from the original version.
Cui Jian, who is older, is also shouting, but in that shouting, there is less questioning, more resignation and helplessness.
This version of Cui Jian in the café is the voice of his peak era, full of heavenly questions!
When are you going to come with me?
This is not a man asking a beloved woman, but a man who is full of hesitation in front of him, asking about that distant but long-awaited dream!
I always have nothing, and I am not expected to be self-pitying, but the freedom of a man who can let go of everything and pursue his dreams!
When Gu Wenming heard this song, what would he think, Liang Yifei didn't know, but when he heard this song, he suddenly felt that his eyes were hot, and a sour heat welled up in his chest.
In his previous life, he had such a passion or ambition to leave everything behind and pursue his dreams.
However, as soon as the dream set sail, his wings were broken, and he fell from mid-air, shattered to pieces!
After being reborn, Liang Yifei rarely sighed about anything, and rarely moved for anything, he was a human being in two lives, he could never laugh at everything, but under the warm smile, the emotions floating on the surface of the heart had long been washed away, leaving only hardness and a trace of chill that even he himself could sometimes feel.
It has been a long time since he touched the purest and most innocent side of his heart, including this time to Gu Wenming, borrowing money, in the final analysis, there is still a desire to buy, but the means are more warm and clever.
Hearing this song, Liang Yifei was finally touched to a sensitive point.
"Are you alright, sir?" a young, clean voice pulled him back from his thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw the waiter at the restaurant.
A girl, in her twenties, was very good-looking, but she had only one arm.
Liang Yifei was stunned for a moment.
"Sir, do you want to add some water?" The girl may not have noticed Liang Yifei's strange gaze when she saw her broken arm, maybe she noticed it but she was used to it, and she only smiled slightly.
Liang Yifei slowed down, "No need, thank you." So saying, he took fifty dollars out of his pocket, put it on the tray, and said, "Your tip." ”
Tipping is not popular in the country, but in cafés, it is a tradition that existed in the old society.
This time the girl was finally stunned, and then smiled slightly and said, "Thank you." ”
