Chapter 288: I'm glad to have her
I added some more water to the pot where the mung bean porridge was boiling, and when I boiled the mung beans inside, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning. It was already very hot and dry for summer, and I was only wearing a sleeveless vest and was already sweating.
Locking the door of the small courtyard, I stood in the alley with a thermos box, and it seemed that I could still hear the gossip left behind by the demolition. At least in this morning, the old alley has lost its supposed tranquility, and if it has life, it will also feel sad about the right and wrong of life at the end of life, right? It is like a kind old man, watching a group of people grow up, and sending away people who no longer have nostalgia for this place and have higher aspirations.
In my mind, I came to the place where Su Han once opened a "mood coffee shop", and I subconsciously stopped, and my heart was full of emotion about the impermanence of fate. I can't help but think of a few years ago, when I was tired at work and didn't have a gap to catch my breath, I could enjoy a cup of coffee or beer here.
But now, this alley is about to be demolished, which makes me feel like a person who has been soaked in salt water, helplessly looking up at the blue sky above my head, but I can no longer touch it, and all my childhood memories are about to be buried in the cheap reinforced concrete, no longer existing.
I knew I couldn't expect everyone to share the same values as me. In the same way, the world I love should be respected by people other than me. I have always felt that wantonly attacking a person's lifestyle and values is already a very immoral behavior, because everyone has the right to choose, not to mention that this choice is well-intentioned, with pursuits and ideals. Those rancid criticisms are precisely due to the fact that some people have thrown off a lot of feces in their minds, can't wipe them clean, and disgust others, isn't that just immoral?
I put down the insulated box in my hand, then took out my phone from my pocket, and recorded the scene in front of me with the camera.
On the way to the piano shop, I suddenly saw Chen Yi's car in the harsh sunlight, it flashed from my sight, and in a blink of an eye, it drove from the intersection into a road next to the tulip. I can't tell why she's passing by, but I can see how I'm feeling at the moment. I saw a strangeness between us that I had never felt before. And the idea of not marrying her back then, just like this old alley, seemed to be able to be strong for a hundred years, but after all, under the power of fate, it turned into a stall of dust that could no longer be picked up, and was carefully examined.
Yes, this is fate, and I have nothing to say when faced with it, but I have learned to enjoy it.
Shifting my gaze, I quickened my pace to the piano shop.
……
Standing in front of the glass window next to the classroom, I leaned in and looked inside. To my surprise, Yu Xin, who had temporarily left Nanjing, came back and gave violin lessons to the few piano children she had brought with her.
Seeing how engaged they were, I looked at the time, and they were going to be out of class in twenty minutes. I didn't disturb their teaching rhythm, so I sat on the bench next to the window and waited patiently.
I haven't felt so relieved in a long time, I close my eyes, my heart is full of the peace after the storm has disappeared, and the piano shop is finally back to its former self. Although, I don't know why Yu Xin came back, and I'm not sure if she'll leave.
I suddenly felt very tired, and after a nap, I fell asleep.
By the time I woke up, the scene in the classroom was different from what I had just seen. Yu Xin and Xiao Ai seem to be in a good mood, one of them plays the guitar and the other plays the piano, and they are singing a very inspirational "Sea and Sky" from the Beyond band to those children who are not very old.
I rarely saw them work together so passionately, and I couldn't help but be a little fascinated, and the little piano boys also cheered for their two teachers with applause. "Today I watched the snow drift by in the cold night, and drifted away with a cooled heart; Chase in the wind and rain, and can't tell the trace in the fog; The sky is wide and you and I will change (who is not changing); How many times have I faced cold eyes and ridicule, and I have never given up the ideals in my heart; In a moment, the feeling of loss has faded unconsciously; Love in my heart (who understands me), forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom in this life, I will be afraid that one day I will fall, and anyone can be abandoned if my ideals are abandoned, and I will be afraid that one day only you will be with me......"
During the singing, I gradually felt that "Aiqiao Piano Shop" is not only a piano shop under our careful management, but also a machine that only knows how to teach music theory. It has its own feelings, spreading a kind of positive energy that can be deeply interpreted, and these children who learn the piano, under the influence of their ears and eyes, will one day understand: we will inevitably fall in life, but we should still inspire the greatest courage in our hearts to look at the distance of the sea and the sky, because even if it is the rainy season, as long as you look for it with your heart, there will always be a place in this world that will be shrouded in the sun.
After the song, Xiao Ai and Yu Xin looked at each other and smiled, and I also applauded them hard. Of all the people, I made the biggest movement, so all eyes focused on me outside the window.
Xiao Ai opened the window, I raised the mung bean porridge in my hand, and said to her, "The porridge is ready...... Hurry up and eat it. “
But he didn't want to, Xiao Ai turned to the students and said, "Piano boys, are you hungry...... Raising his hand when he was hungry, we asked Boss Jiang to invite us to eat cake and cold drinks. “
The children raised their hands in unison, and I would love to do something like that. So I patiently wrote down the children's needs, and then went to the cake shop opposite the piano store to buy all the things they ordered, and then in exchange for the children's innocent smiling faces.
I really fell in love with this piano shop, and I felt that I was engaged in a career full of sunshine and ideals.
……
When we were having breakfast together, I asked Yu Xin what I was wondering: "Didn't you already go to the talent show, why did you come back?" ”
Yu Xin looked at Xiao Ai beside her, and then replied: "Because Xiao Ai called me yesterday, she persuaded me to give up participating in the draft, and made me willing to treat the piano store as one of my own careers and ideals...... She is right, as musicians, we realize our value in the entertainment industry, which is actually the lowest. We can choose a better path and platform. ”
At this time, Xiao Ai grabbed my arm and said: "Jiang Qiao, I made a decision without authorization, I want to give Yu Xin the shares of the piano store 15, let her become a shareholder of the piano store, we will work together to make the piano store better, and also help more and more children with music dreams to realize their dreams, okay?" ”
I looked at her, and I really felt at this moment how high the emotional intelligence and business IQ of a girl born in a business family were. She knows better than me how important Yu Xinzhi is to this piano shop, because her ability is not only reflected in teaching. If we encounter a crisis of trust among parents and can't even keep the piano store, what's the point of holding on to these shares?
But this is not the most important thing, because she and I are not very caring people, and we both welcome Yu Xin to join as shareholders, but I didn't seriously convince Yu Xin, and she did.
I am so glad to have her by my side, to insist on our love, and to make the most correct choice for our common cause
