May 18 sunny
"Do you believe in telepathy? For the first time, I felt this way, two people are like magnets attracted to each other, they don't need any words, all communication is just a look. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Gerson didn't know how he got to the factory to report for duty, he just felt that everything around him was meaningless noise, and by the time he knew that he was working on the assembly line, it was almost time to leave work the next day.
Gesen's newly assigned workshop is a production line responsible for the manufacture of fuel injection devices for gasoline engines, and in some places where automation is not possible or where labor is more cost-effective, workers are arranged.
What's wrong with me? Why am I here? Gerson looked down at his oil-stained hands, which became a little swollen, and this was the first time he had thought about the value of his existence since he arrived at the factory.
Gerson raised his head and looked around, everyone here was expressionless and their heads were bowing their heads repeating a movement, there was no other sound around him except the rumble of the machine, he thought, in fact, even if there were, it would be covered by this huge boom. Suddenly, he remembered that he had asked Captain Situ for that person's address a few days ago, and Ge Sen suddenly had an idea, he wanted to go to the place where the address was displayed to see what kind of life that person was living.
Ge Sen put down his work and went to ask the squad leader for leave, and the squad leader looked at him as if he was looking at a waste, and then reluctantly agreed, but on the condition that he be allowed to work overtime on weekends.
Gerson changed out of the blue overalls, and put on a white T-shirt that he usually wears, the sun is very good today, Gerson looked at the dazzling light when he walked out of the factory and was even a little dizzy, he stood for a while, he thought, maybe it was because he hadn't lived in the sun for too long, he took out the note with the address from his pocket again, looked at it, and then walked firmly in the direction of the subway station.
Gerson had never thought that he was actually living so close to that person, and when he stood in front of a small building with a small courtyard, Gerson felt that he had never been so nervous, and he even felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"Who are you looking for?" A female voice with a local accent came from behind Gerson.
Ge Sen turned his head, and a middle-aged woman with a scorched face who looked like she had been doing farm work in the field all year round was looking up at him, "I, I'm looking for Tang Tang." Captain Situ told him that the man had a sister at home.
The middle-aged woman glanced at Ge Sen suspiciously, "She's not here." ”
Absence? No, although Captain Situ had said that there might be no one living at this address before, he still wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect that he was still late. "Do you know where she moved to?"
"Move? Where can she move to? Something so big happened, she was also pitiful, their family must have been haunted by evil ghosts. The more the woman spoke, the more excited she became, "She goes to the market in front of her every day to paint pictures for tourists, and she is the only one left in this family." ”
It turned out that he hadn't moved, and Ge Sen breathed a sigh of relief, "Is it the front?" He didn't want to hear her chew her tongue here, so he pointed to the front.
The woman flattened her mouth, pointed to the front and nodded, "Keep walking." ”
After thanking him, he walked in the direction the woman pointed out, and he had a very familiar feeling as he went. The market is not hard to find, and it takes about 15 minutes to walk along the road.
Tang Tang is not difficult to find, painting in the market of such a village is indeed an alternative, Ge Sen saw the girl at a glance, she was facing away from Ge Sen, with short ear-length hair, black and shiny, fair skin, and a slender neck, which made Ge Sen feel that she must be a beautiful woman.
"Hmm." Gerson was thinking about how to talk to her.
The woman turned her head and looked at him vigilantly, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, "What are you going to do?" ”
"You, can you draw a picture for me?" Gerson decided not to identify himself yet, for fear he would scare her.
"Do you want to draw?"
"Hmm. May I? ”
"Yes, you sit here." Tang Tang pointed to a small wooden stool at Ge Sen's feet and said.
'Is this?' Gerson sat down.
"Is that how you draw it?" Tang Tang asked.
"Well, that's all." Gerson nodded, and he just looked at her so closely.
Tang Tang picked up the drawing board, she drew for a while, and suddenly stopped the brush in her hand, "Have we met before?" ”
"Nope." Gerson looked at her and said.
"Why do I keep feeling as if I've seen you there?" Tang Tang drew for a while, and then said. "Haven't you really seen it?"
This time Gerson decided to tell her who he was, "My name is Gerson. ”
"Ah, Gerson!" Tang Tang's eyes widened, and his paintbrush fell to the ground. Suddenly, she stood up, lowered her head, and said, "I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my brother." I was supposed to come to the door to apologize in person, but ......" Tang Tang did not continue.
"I'm just coming to take a look, not trying to get you in trouble." Ge Sen looked at Tang Tang, who was trembling slightly in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pity in his heart. "You like to draw?"
"Well, just draw it."
"I like to draw too," Gerson said as he walked up to her, wanting to see her paintings. "Where did you learn to draw?"
"I didn't learn it, I just scribbled it myself." Tang Tang said embarrassedly, "I didn't paint it for you just now." ”
"It's okay." Gerson said with a smile.
"Why don't you come to my house and sit down, it's just ahead, not far away." Tang Tang pointed to the road that Ge Sen had just walked on.
"Okay." Ge Sen nodded, and slowly walked back with Tang Tang.
"Your brother," said Gerson for the first time referring to the man, "what kind of man is he?" ”
"My brother?" Tang Tang became silent.
Gerson didn't rush her, he just walked quietly beside her.
"He's different from me, he's a very smart guy, and he's been the pride of his mother since he was a child." Tang Tang showed a proud smile, "Our mother used to learn dance, and it was only after my grandmother passed away that she brought us back here. Then, Tang Tang made a gesture to play the piano, "My brother inherited his mother's genes and was admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music, which is the pride of our village." ”
"He must be your pride."
"Well, I don't have my brother's talent, any tune, as long as he listens to it once, he can memorize it, but I can only draw." Tang Tang said this, and paused, "It's here, let's go in." With that, she took out the key and opened the door.
It's a very small yard, and the one-story bungalow in the yard hasn't been renovated for a long time, and the paint on the walls has peeled off.
"Your brother and your mother must have a good relationship." Gerson said as he walked in.
"Well, it's very good, sometimes so good that I feel like I'm superfluous." Tang Tang said with a smile.
The house has only one hall, two separate rooms, and an attic made of wood.
"My brother lives up there."
"Can I go up and have a look?"
"Well, please be careful, I'll pour you a glass of water."
Gerson carefully stepped on the creaking stairs to climb up, the room was not very high, but the light was very good, there was a small window here, Gerson stood in front of the windowsill, looking out, but unfortunately the terrain was too low, so he could only see a three-story house opposite.
"In the past, you could see the rice fields on the other side, which were green, but then the house built a building, so you couldn't see anything." Tang Tang came up with a glass of water.
"Thank you." Gerson turned around and looked around, the room was neatly lined with many music-related things, and Gerson reached out and touched them one by one, as if he had seen some old friend who had not been seen for a long time.
That's when an old-fashioned piano came into his sight, "Is this your brother's?" ”
"Well, my mother bought it from a second-hand dealer, and my brother has always regarded it as a treasure." Tang Tang recalled.
"Can I?" Gerson said, pointing to the old piano.
Tang Tang nodded.
Gerson carefully opened the lid of the piano, and those yellowed keys appeared in front of him, and he unconsciously stretched out a finger and gently tapped on the center C, "It's been a long time since it's been tuned, right?" ”
"Well, my brother used to tune it himself, and he always complained that this piano was too old, and many tones couldn't be tuned accurately."
Tang Tang looked at Ge Sen in surprise and said, "You also know music?" ”
"I don't understand." Gerson shook his head, he had never listened to music before.
"I thought you knew music, too? As soon as I heard it, I could find that I couldn't hear this, and my brother used to say that I was stupid, and I couldn't hear such an obvious mistake. Tang Tang burst out laughing.
Ge Sen looked at Tang Tang, who was smiling happily in front of him, and felt a long-lost happiness in his heart.
"Is your brother very demanding?"
"How do you know?" Tang Tang stared at him with wide eyes, "He used to hate people wasting time the most, he always said, 'Time is the most precious thing, you must cherish it.'" So not only is he good at music, but there are many things that he can learn at once. ”
"Really?" Gerson suddenly understood something, and he was silent for a while, "It's time for me to go, disturb you." ”
"There's an interruption." Tang Tang looked at him quietly, as if he was looking at a familiar relative.
When the two of them came to the door, Tang Tang said a little reluctantly: "I'll finish that picture for you when I have time." Then he held out a hand.
Ge Sen stretched out his hand, just as they were shaking together, Ge Sen suddenly felt a powerful sense of electricity spread throughout his body, he felt a call from the heart, he knew that Tang Tang must also feel this call, she blushed slightly and said, "Next time when you come......"
"Who are you?" Ge Sen suddenly interrupted Tang Tang's words, "Twins? ”
"Well, how do you know, we are dragon and phoenix fetuses, but our personalities are completely different."
Gerson suddenly withdrew his hand, "Let's not see each other again." Then he ran away like crazy.
