Chapter 38: The Brave Snail
Cheng Xiaoyu sent a text message to Fu Xiyue, saying that there was an accident today, and she couldn't come over!
Fu Xiyue replied, nothing serious.
Cheng Xiaoyu returned, it was okay, he was bitten by the dog next door, and he was going to get a vaccination!
Fu Xiyue covered her mouth and smiled back, and said, pay attention next time.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't look back, and drove towards the Forest of Lights.
When he arrived, Xia Shamo, Chen Haoran and Wang Ou had been there for a while. Chen Haoran is still practicing the double bottom drum. Xia Shamo and Wang Ou sat on the sofa and studied the guitar.
Cheng Xiaoyu sent two copies of the score to Chen Haoran and Xia Shamo. Cheng Haoran glanced at it casually and put it aside, this kind of Cheng dΓΉ is too simple for him, as long as he can memorize the score. There's certainly nothing wrong with the performance.
Even if it is a relatively big test for Xia Shamo, one of the two songs is called "Brave" and the other is called "Snail".
Wang Ou saw that both of them could understand the staves, and he was also a little envious, and sighed, "I'm only at the level where I can perform on stage in the year of the monkey!"
Cheng Xiaoyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, learning guitar is not particularly easy." If it's just a spur of the moment, it's better to give up sooner. It's hard to stick with it if you don't really like it. β
Wang Ou glanced at Xia Shamo, who was reading the score seriously, and said, "I really like it." β
Cheng Xiaoyu took Wang Ou's expression in his eyes and smiled: "Persevere, maybe." β
Wang Ou nodded and continued to practice the guitar.
Chen Jinglong learned that Cheng Xiaoyu would come this afternoon, so he also came to the bar early. When he learned that the two songs in the New Year's Day show were created by Cheng Xiaoyu, he always wanted to have a good chat with this high school student!
When Chen Jinglong went to the basement, Cheng Xiaoyu was instructing Wang Ou to practice the guitar, and when he saw Xia Shamo holding the score and singing softly, he asked Xia Shamo with a smile, "New song?"
Xia Shamo nodded.
Chen Jinglong asked again, "Can you take a look?" This was said to Cheng Xiaoyu, he knew that only Cheng Xiaoyu could call the shots in this orchestra.
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, what are you polite about, just look at it." β
Chen Jinglong took the score from Xia Shamo's hand and carefully flipped through it a few times, this kind of musician who has been immersed in music for many years, you can probably know the level by looking at it. sighed and said, "Xiao Yu, is it your work again?"
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded, but there was no smile on his face.
"That's good, to be honest, you don't have to study now, it's more than enough to be a professional maker. At your age, there is really no other word to describe you except genius!"
Cheng Xiaoyu hid the embarrassment in his heart and said with a smile: "Brother Chen praised it falsely, I also wrote and played, and I didn't ask myself to achieve anything." β
Chen Jinglong laughed twice and said, "Excessive modesty is pride! Brother Chen is the east in the evening, please eat!"
Cheng Xiaoyu said, "I'm fine, see if SUMMER and Da Zhuang have time." β
Chen Jinglong warmly invited Xia Shamo and Wang Ou, and the two agreed.
Chen Jinglong asked again, "There is a LIVEHOUSE event organized by a bar street on the weekend, do you have any interest in participating in the orchestra?" β
Cheng Xiaoyu frowned and said, "It's okay to participate, but our orchestra lacks a guitarist." Then he looked at Wang Ou and said, "Look, this rookie is still growing." β
Wang Ou touched the back of his head and said, "Leave me alone, I'm a substitute, you have a suitable first." β
Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's okay, wait for you." β
Wang Ou smirked.
Chen Jinglong said, "If you don't ask Huang Yong to make a cameo first, their band won't be on stage that day anyway." β
Cheng Xiaoyu asked, "Why can't you get on?"
Chen Jinglong laughed and said, "Anyway, it's all my own people, and I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, the lead singer fights with others for women, and he's still in the hospital! Aren't I worried! The bar has lost their band performances, and business has been a lot worse recently!"
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, let's arrange these two songs." If SUMMER is okay, we can help you top up the bar. I'm sorry to keep taking your place to rehearse and not do anything!"
Xia Shamo was reading the score, and when she heard her, she raised her head and said, "I can come over after dinner, and I have to go home before 11 o'clock, and there is nothing wrong with anything else." β
Chen Jinglong said: "What kind of problem is this! I promise to make proper arrangements with SUMMER! And SUMMER, you can take a taxi! Brother Chen will reimburse you for the fare!"
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you don't have to worry about SUMMER when you go home, we have a lot of flower messengers here!"
Chen Jinglong patted Cheng Xiaoyu's shoulder and said, "Righteous enough, my brother is not polite to you, you are Haoran's classmates with such a good relationship, and in my eyes, you are similar to your younger brothers and sisters." I've wanted you to sing it for a long time! Don't worry, check out the highest level band!"
Cheng Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "Brother Chen, don't use the money! Anyway, we have nothing to do!"
Chen Jinglong shook his head and said, "Then how can it be done! This is the rule! Just treat my brother as a New Year's red envelope sent to you in advance!"
Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated and said, "That's okay, we're not hypocritical! Thank you, Brother Chen!"
Chen Jinglong smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you, I should thank you, help me so much! Besides, I have seen your level! To be honest, it is really not easy for me to invite you to such a level in this small bar." β
Cheng Xiaoyu said to Chen Jinglong, "Brother Chen, where is the bar and toilet?"
Chen Jinglong was a little strange that Cheng Xiaoyu wanted to say anything to him alone, but he didn't show any flaws, and said with a smile, "It's just that I'm going too, let's go, let's go together." With that, the two of them walked upstairs together.
When he walked upstairs, Cheng Xiaoyu looked at no one behind him and asked, "Brother Chen, can I ask, how to settle the band performance?"
Chen Jinglong grabbed Cheng Xiaoyu and asked, "What, Xiao Yu, you are short of money?
Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Look at my wide-hearted and fat appearance, what money I lack." You sue me first, I just have a little doubt!"
Chen Jinglong groaned and said, "Generally, five or six songs a day, 200 to 300 a day!
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Okay, just according to what you say, but you must do me a favor." β
Chen Jinglong said, "As long as my brother can do it, there must be no problem." β
Cheng Xiaoyu asked again, "If Huang Yong helps us accompani, do we still need to give him money?"
Chen Jinglong heard Cheng Xiaoyu ask this, and felt that this child was a little too unatmospheric, but he still smiled and said, "No, their band is monthly, 300 you can share with SUMMER, it doesn't matter if Haoran gives it or not!"
Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, that's not good! I still have to give what I should give! What I want you to help has nothing to do with it." Wait a minute, tell them about 600 a day! When the time comes to settle the bill, remember to divide the salary into three in an envelope! My share will be covered with Xia Shamo! As for how much you give Haoran! It's none of my business!"
When Chen Jinglong heard this, he suddenly realized, patted Cheng Xiaoyu's shoulder and said, "You kid, you are infatuated enough!"
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you misunderstood! I am good friends and classmates with her, her family conditions are worse than me and Haoran, as a friend can help as much as she can! But my help is too obvious, she will definitely refuse! I can't help it!"
"Don't worry, this matter is on Brother Chen! When the time comes, I'll give SUMMER at multiple points. β
"That's not necessary, she will be suspicious if there are more. Just don't let her know. Cheng Xiaoyu advised.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. β
"Nacheng, you are busy beforehand, I will go down to rehearsal!" Cheng Xiaoyu turned around and went downstairs, and he didn't go to the toilet.
Chen Jinglong looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's chubby back thoughtfully.
When she went down, Xia Shamo was still singing "Snail" in a low voice.
Cheng Xiaoyu walked to the keyboard and shouted, "Eat other people's soft mouths, take other people's hands short!!Let's rehearse a new song together!SUMMER, come here, let's sing "Snail" first! Haoran pay attention to the time when you come in! Although these two songs are not difficult for you, you must take them seriously!"
Cheng Xiaoyu gently pressed the black and white piano keys, and the stirring sound began to echo in this small basement.
Xia Shamo's gorgeous singing voice sounded, and this song was especially liked by her. She felt that Cheng Xiaoyu's song was written for her, and she must be that little snail. (BGM: Xu Haixing "Snail")
It's time to put down the heavy shell
Find out where the blue sky is
Drifting gently with a gentle wind
I don't feel any pain from the injuries I have experienced
I'm going to climb up one step at a time
Wait for the sun to look at its face quietly
Small days have big dreams
Wrapped in a heavy shell, he looked up gently
I'm going to climb up one step at a time
Fly forward on the blades at the highest point
Little days shed tears and sweat
One day I will have my own day
I'm going to climb up one step at a time
Fly forward on the blades at the highest point
Let the wind dry the tears and sweat that flowed
I'm going to climb up one step at a time
Wait for the sun to look at its face quietly
Small days have big dreams
I have my own heavens
Let the wind dry the tears and sweat that flowed
One day I will have my own day
For us, dreams may be so unattainable, but as long as every step forward means another step closer. As long as you carry hope and work hard to move forward, instead of waiting in place with the burden, although the dream may not come true, but every step of your journey will be a harvest, pain is a harvest, joy is a harvest, sweat is a harvest, sleep is a harvest, a smile is a harvest, and tears are also a harvest. If you just wait where you are, there is no pain, no sweat, no tears, but you will also lose hope.
Isn't it because of hope that people are struggling in this world?
