At this time it is early autumn, the temperature in the morning is a little cool, but the old alley hidden in the city has begun to show its quaint posture beautifully, there is dust and dew on the road paved with bluestone slabs, and the wall made of blue bricks is not willing to be lonely, it is strong to take care of every weed that grows on the wall, on the contrary is a well drilled in the last century, until now there are some old neighbors who will come here to pick a bucket of water back to cook and wash, and modern civilization always needs to go to the alley, will appear in sight, I saw that there were some high-rise buildings, and there was a lot of noise about trucks and family cars running all over the place......

I don't quite understand why if I marry a woman, she must not want to live with me in this alley. The house outside is so expensive, and the city made of steel and concrete is so cold, why spend all that hard-earned money to buy a sin, so I thought: who doesn't want to live here with me, I can not love her, because the values deviate too much.

In my thoughts, I finally walked out of the alley, subconsciously looked into the street, waiting for a taxi with no passengers to pass by, for me, time was too short, I had to hurry to Nanyi to find Xiao Ai's girl, and then make sure she could show up on time for the client's wedding.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the corner of my eye, I subconsciously turned my head to look, and found Xiao Ai standing about 10 meters away on my left, she was buying breakfast at a food stall that made scrambles, and she also spotted me almost at the same time, and our eyes met.

Today she is dressed very decently, especially the long white dress, which is very in line with the elegant and dignified temperament that is needed when playing the piano, and her long black hair also falls neatly on her shoulders. Of course, this is on the premise that she doesn't speak.

A stone finally fell in my heart, and I came to her side with a smile, looked her up and down again, and said, "Morning! ”

"What's early, I basically didn't sleep in the second half of the night, okay!" As she spoke, she yawned, looking sleep-deprived.

"You don't have to be so nervous to just play the piano at the wedding, right?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to get up in the morning, and I haven't slept since I woke up at four o'clock."

I looked at her in disbelief and asked, "Would you be so reliable?" ”

Xiao Ai glanced at me very resentfully, and asked, "Don't you want me to be reliable?" ”

"Don't don't, I just said it casually, I've been made into a nervous breakdown by you for the past two days, and I had a nightmare last night, I dreamed that you released my pigeon, God willing, fortunately, the dreams are all reversed! …… You know, I'm looking at you like I'm looking at a winged female angel with divine radiance! ”

"Can you not be so disgusting to me? …… Let me tell you, the reason why I got up so early today is not because of how reliable I am, and not because of how much I take your affairs to heart. ”

"What's the reason for that?"

"I'm just not convinced, you say that I don't trust me, I can't accept a person who is very unreliable himself to say that I am unreliable."

"It sounds like a tongue twister, but I can still hear it when I use my IQ of more than 120: you actually take me seriously in your heart, and you can't give me everything you have, but you don't want to say it, because you know that I have cultivated an invulnerable heart, and you can't move me!"

Xiao Ai was about to vomit when he heard this, and after looking at me disgustingly, he scolded: "Why don't you die?" ”

Every time I fight with her, I feel very relaxed, I laugh "haha", then take off my coat, drape it over her thin body, and finally reply: "I'm going to die, you will become the loneliest and most pitiful person in the world, because no one fights with you anymore, and no one cares about your food and clothing." ”

Xiao Ai did not refuse the clothes I kindly put on her, nor did she quarrel with me again, she took two freshly made cakes from the vendor's hand, stuffed one of them into my hand, and said, "Then you can live well, and give you a breakfast." ”

……

Leaving the breakfast stall, I got into the Mercedes-Benz that Xiao Ai drove, and turned back to Nanyi halfway to pick up Yu Xin, who was going to play an instrument at the wedding like Xiao Ai later. And it was only at this time that my hanging heart was completely put down, and of course I was grateful to this girl in my heart, I really didn't expect her to do this thing so well in advance.

About twenty minutes later, a group of three of us came to the wedding scene, according to the process of the wedding, Xiao Ai almost did not rest, her piano performance will continue from before the wedding to the end of the wedding, and Yu Xin is relatively much easier, her violin performance can only be used in two or three links, of course, her appearance fee is also lower than Xiao Ai.

As for me, I was even more busy, first assigning tasks to the hostess, then checking the script with the master of ceremonies, and finally urging the lighting and sound engineer to check the lighting and sound equipment. Actually, these things can be done and not done, but I have never slacked off in order to minimize the risks of the wedding, so this is an important reason why the client recognizes me, and I hope to make up for my lack of talent by hard work.

Relatives and friends have been in place one after another, the wedding is about to begin, my nerves tensed up in an instant, I have been paying attention to Xiao Ai and Yu Xin, the two girls I found, fortunately, their performance is remarkable, especially Xiao Ai, sitting next to the piano, like a natural artist, every note flowing from her fingertips, is so natural and beautiful, even in my 6 years of working life, I have hardly cooperated with such a high level of pianists.

The wedding was carried out in an orderly manner in the pre-planned process, and I finally got to catch my breath near the end, habitually finding a corner that did not disturb others, and relaxing the nerves that had been tense by smoking, and Xiao Ai had been sitting by the piano for nearly two hours at this time, and there was almost no rest.

Yu Xin finished all the performance tasks before Xiao Ai, she came to my side, I said "hard work" and moved a little place, motioning for her to sit down next to me.

Yu Xin lifted her long skirt slightly, and then sat on the grass next to me, I immediately counted out a stack of money from my wallet and handed it to her, saying, "This is your performance fee today, you can click on it." ”

Yu Xin was a little surprised and asked, "Isn't it to your company's finances to get it?" ”

"Don't be so troublesome, I'll give it to you first, and I'll go back to the finance to get it, but you have to sign the receipt."

Yu Xin nodded, took the pen from me, and then signed her name on the receipt, and we completed the first cooperation smoothly, but she did not leave immediately, but sat with me for a while.

She looked at Xiao Ai, who was still playing the piano on stage, and sighed: "Brother Jiangqiao, I think Xiao Ai is so face-saving to you, I can't believe that she will sit in such a place for so long!" ”

I subconsciously looked at Xiao Ai, and then replied with a smile: "We have a cooperative relationship, and I will give her a performance fee later." ”

"Do you really think she's the one who cares about the show fee?"

I suddenly came to my senses, took a puff of cigarette, and asked, "Are you going to break the news with me?" Let's talk about it, what is the origin of this girl! ”

Yu Xin shook her head and replied: "We have been classmates for 3 years, but I don't know her too well, she is quite withdrawn, and she has almost no special good friends in school, she doesn't seem to care much about what others think of her, anyway, I think she is a very real person, and what I admire the most is: as a student studying music performance, she has no interest in going to the entertainment industry at all." As far as I know, there are about 3 well-known record companies and media companies in Beijing and Shanghai that have approached her, but she refused! ……”

Since she is so low-key, how did these entertainment companies know about her as a person? I don't understand that. ”

Yu Xin explained: "She is not completely low-key, such as some foreign music festivals and more authoritative musical instrument competitions, she will still participate, so some academic old-timers in the music circle still have a very high evaluation of her, but these evaluations do not appear in the public eye." ”

"Oh." I answered, but I couldn't see through this girl, but if what Yu Xin said was true, she would give me face today, but this kind of face giving me has become a big trouble in my life recently, because I really can't figure out why she gives face like this, after all, I really didn't know her before, and we are not people who seem to be able to walk on the same road.

……

About half an hour later, the wedding was over, Xiao Ai finally finished her performance task, she came to me with a dark face, and said, "Jiang Qiao, can I complain that this wedding is not interesting at all?" ”

I knew that she had been working hard for half a day, so I hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and replied: "How can it be boring, didn't you see that the bride and groom were crying happily just now?" ”

"I'm most afraid of envying other people's happiness, and it's so close...... I don't care, you made me have a torturous morning, you must compensate me for an interesting afternoon. ”

"But I can't figure out the standard of your interest!"

"You want to go slowly, I'll go back to school first, there will be professional classes in the afternoon, and I'll go to your house to find you after class later."

Xiao Ai walked to the parking lot after speaking, I was really a little sorry for her in my heart, but I couldn't even be happy in the afternoon, what emotions should I use to compensate her?

I was really a little troubled by this chattering girl, and suddenly remembered that I hadn't given her the performance fee yet, and shouted behind her back, but she had already put on her sunglasses and got into the car, and soon left the wedding scene that made her feel very boring
