Chapter 39: The Moon of Ndemien
Li He's desire to learn guitar is not a sudden whim, he is preparing for the next step.
In his previous life, Li He actually practiced the guitar for a while, but like many things he did, he didn't care, didn't insist, and didn't practice anything. But a reborn person who can't "write" songs is not a qualified reborn, so Li He decided to practice the guitar seriously, and the important thing is to learn to compose music. But he didn't know which piano shop in Faith City was more suitable for him, so he called Kang Xingjian and asked Kang Xingjian, who didn't know, but the guy said excitedly, have you forgotten Teacher Liu who sang in the bar that day?
"Let's find a place to watch the game tonight for you to celebrate your birthday," Kang Xingjian said eagerly on the phone: "Argentina vs. Jamaica at half past eight, do you think your Barty will have a hat trick to celebrate your birthday?"
Li He smiled, this is really good. But the affliction of the regenerate is that there are many people who cannot be said, and they cannot be said.
However, Li He was still tempted by Kang Xingjian's proposal, but he couldn't find any suitable place, his house was too narrow, and it was not suitable to go to Kang Xingjian's house, so please they were only sophomores in high school. In the end, they agreed to go to a small restaurant in the back alley of the school, like many small restaurants in the back alley and other businesses in the back alley, the small restaurant house is the owner's own home, the first floor is a restaurant, the second floor is separated by a few small rooms, set up TVs and video recorders, and rent out video tapes to the students of the seventh middle school.
That's right, it's a videotape, Li He was shocked when he heard Kang Xingjian say on the phone that he watched the videotape, and in his impression, the videotape seemed to have gradually disappeared in the mid-to-late 90s, but when he thought of the back alley, this thing is not impossible.
Originally, Li He didn't want to go to those greasy restaurants in the back alley, but in order to admire the legendary videotape, he made a decision at once, and invited everyone to eat in the small restaurant in the afternoon, and after dinner, he went to the small room to watch the video to watch the game, and when the game had not started, of course, he could also watch the video or something by the way. According to Li He's experience, if a group of boys go to watch the video, most of the boss's videotapes will have some private goods......
Li He ate lunch at home, Mia came back with Li Chun, who was learning the piano, and specially bought two birthday cakes for Li He, one of which he took to eat with his classmates in the evening.
At this time, Li He was also very unkind, from a man's point of view, it is better to find a wife or a teacher like Mia, like his mother Qiao Chu, who has a strong personality, doesn't take care of the house much, and can't cook, it is indeed a thing.
Recalling the previous life, Li He and Qiao Chu's mother and son lived together in the provincial capital for a long time, but Li He rarely went to his mother, in his impression, his mother's house was not much cleaner than his own single dormitory, and every time he went, he called for takeout, and over time, he didn't want to go......
And since Li He's rebirth, this is also the first time that a family of four sits down to eat together, and before that, either Li Jie didn't come back, or Li He went to school to eat, and he couldn't get together.
Mia also deliberately made a few more dishes that Li He usually likes to eat, including plum cabbage button pork, spicy chicken, stir-fried pork liver, chestnut braised pork, fried peanuts and braised chicken feet that Li Jie never gets tired of, as well as Li Chun's favorite amber walnuts and sweet and sour pork ribs, as for Mia herself, her favorite is vegetarian cabbage, fried tofu with green peppers......
As soon as he saw the fried peanuts, Li Jie was very interested in taking out a bottle of wine, the 52° Dongzang Qingjiu is not a precious wine, but Li He likes Liu Qingyun, and he also likes the Qingjiu advertisement made by Liu Qingyun, although the advertisement has not yet appeared at this time, but Liu Qingyun's sentence "Drink a glass of sake and make a friend" still makes Li He unforgettable, well, making friends with his father, this implication is also very good.
In the matter of drinking, Mia didn't know Li Jie as well as Li He, just when she thought Li Jie was just pouring himself a drink, Li Jie took two glasses that could hold one or two, poured two glasses full, handed one to Li He, and said: "16 years old was considered an adult in the past, come, let's go one." ”
Mia's eyes widened, and she said to Li Jie with an incredible expression: "You are crazy! Let the child drink, or liquor!"
Li Jie laughed and said, "What's this? His grandfather let me drink home-brewed local wine when I was a teenager." ”
Li Chun also helped his father and brother talk, and Xiao Lori said with an old-fashioned face: "Mom, you don't understand, this is called communication between men." ”
Mia looked at Li Jie and Li Chun, a father and daughter, who were angry, but Li He comforted her and said: "Aunt Ya, it doesn't matter, Dad is rarely at home today, everyone is happy, don't worry, before I am admitted to college, I will never drink alcohol outside, and I will not drink beer!"
Mia looked at Li Jie angrily and said, "Drink, drink, wait until you can't drink Xiaohe, see if you can be so proud!"
"I can't drink my son?" Li Jie squinted at Li He with a wine glass and looked at Li He with disdain, Li He also picked up the wine glass, what did he say at this time? One or two glasses, one or two went down in one sip. The liquor is all spicy neck, and Li He had a good amount of alcohol in his previous life, but this body is always a 16-year-old body, and one or two liquors go on like this, Li He feels a little high. He was thinking about what the hell was Wu Song's 18 bowls, the wine of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, that is, rice wine with a higher degree. And Li Jie was very satisfied with Li He's dry posture, and he easily did it, and then filled it up for the father and son, but he didn't ask Li He to dry it anymore, and the family chatted while eating, but they were also happy.
Such a scene is not unheard of in Li He's memory, but it is too rare, he shook his head, and felt that this trip to rebirth was really not in vain.
Li He looked at his sister's pouting and could only promise her that before 12 o'clock in the evening, he would definitely come back to eat birthday cake with her.
When Li He came out of the house, the rain outside had stopped, and I don't know if it was because the air pollution in the city was still very small in 98, when Li He pushed his new bicycle out of the house, the air after the rain was fresh and cool, which filled his 16-year-old body with the desire to run wildly. Although the injuries on his hands were not yet healed, when he got on the bike, Li He felt that he was really like a gust of wind through the streets and alleys of this small city.
In Li He's memory, the city was really small, but when he rode his bicycle leisurely through the city, he found that the city was already changing unconsciously, many old streets that were dilapidated in the past were being renovated, and near the Yuehua District, a very desolate suburb in the past, new roads and new buildings were growing luxuriantly like plants in spring, and soon this area would be the new urban center of Faith City. Now, in the center of Yuehua District, a commercial circle has been built, although there are still some cold doors, but the future commercial and entertainment center can already see the prototype.
Li He was wondering if he should suggest to his mother that she return to Faith City, and he felt that his mother had been up and down in the business sea for so long, and it was either that she was incapable, or that she couldn't find a suitable direction. And real estate will soon usher in a golden period of development, even if his mother does not have the strength to directly engage in real estate companies now, but back to the business circle of Yuehua District to buy a few storefronts, there is also a lot of room for development. In another 5 years at most, her investment will be doubled, or even tripled, which is much more reliable than her business with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west. Including himself, he has been reborn until now, and he has not seen any way to make money, it is really not good, it is also a choice to find a way to make money to buy a few houses and wait for the price of housing to rise, if you can't be a billionaire, you can be a little rich.
But the question is, how can you convince her?
Li He rode his bicycle around the newly built pedestrian street in Yuehua District, but his mind was about buying land, and he didn't know if the sales lady would be interested in welcoming him when she saw a customer riding a bicycle. However, when Li He turned to a fork in the pedestrian street and saw that there was a piano shop and a taekwondo gym here, he remembered that he came out to buy a guitar this time.
A reborn person who can't "write" songs is not a qualified reborn, Li He knows that he is not talented in this area, but his mind echoes the melodies that will be popular everywhere after a few years or more than ten years, and he is really unwilling not to turn them into his own things. In fact, he knew that several of the more famous piano shops in Faith City were all in the area of the Children's Palace in Tonggu District, and there was only one reason for opening the piano shops to the pedestrian street of Yuehua District, that is, the rent here was cheap.
Li He shook his head, the real income of the piano shop is not only to sell the piano, but also to teach people to play the piano, and drive the piano shop to the pedestrian street in Yuehua District, although the rent is cheap, but there is no source of students, unless the owner of the piano shop doesn't care at all, otherwise it must be a loss. At least 10 years later, there will be room to make money by opening a piano shop here.
However, looking at it, there are three piano shops on a pedestrian street, one is called "Tian Lai Musical Instrument Store", and the other is called "Zhi Music Instrument Store", in fact, they are all engaged in the distribution of musical instruments, maybe they are not retail, and it may even be just a warehouse, and Li He felt tacky when he saw the names of these two musical instrument stores, and then saw that the name of a piano store was "Ndemion's Moon", if it weren't for some staff symbols and a guitar model, you wouldn't think of a piano store.
This is especially special, but doing business to get such a literary name, Li He estimates that he has hit the street a lot. However, the name still attracted him, and he locked his bicycle in front of the piano shop on a street tree that he didn't know if it had been planted, and walked into the piano shop called "The Moon of Ndaimien".
