Chapter 8: hey, Jude

"I'm back, it's a dating. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Xiao sat on the sofa and flipped through her mobile phone, heard the door ringing and knew that Xia Xia was back, pulled out the lollipop in her mouth and said. I don't know who the TV on the other side is playing for, anyway, the current TV can be listened to by ear.

"Don't mention it. I'm tired to death~" Xia Xia entered the door at almost seven o'clock. She had no money, and she forgot to borrow some from Zhang Yang, so she couldn't even take the bus, so she walked from the city to the suburbs, and was forced to turn back and run because she took the wrong road many times on the way. She doesn't know the road and doesn't ask others: what if she encounters He Wei like that again? Isn't it just what I was looking for to see Wang Moxuan today? Passers-by didn't pay attention to her, and because of her dress, people thought she was out to exercise.

Xia Xia's tired legs were weak and she collapsed on the sofa. When he leaned his head back, he touched the wall, and he was so angry that he was amused.

"Where's my mom?" Xia Xia found that the house was much quieter.

"Square dancing. Let's talk about what the date is like, Wang Moxuan took you to the set or gave you a fish pond, look at you like this, go directly to the hotel! Liu Xiao said, picked up the remote control and looked for Wang Moxuan on the TV, and appeared without a few clicks.

"I didn't do anything, so I went to the library."

Xia Xia hadn't eaten dinner yet, so she ate a bowl of jajangmyeon all day, and digested it less than halfway home after a long journey. So Qiang struggled to get up and went to the kitchen to find leftovers to eat.

Liu Xiao continued: "Are you really good, you took someone to the library on your first date, and changed to the route of a scholar?"

"Isn't this dating good at all? It's all you who want to chase stars, and when you hear that it's Wang Moxuan, you forget your righteousness. I went to the library to make him bored and finish it early. As a result, one Wang Moxuan fell, and the other He Wei stood up again. ”

"He Wei? Who is He Wei? ”

"It's the one who comes every day to deliver flowers. Follow me again today, and this time I rejected him outright. This person doesn't have any eyesight, and he knows that I don't have any money, and he doesn't say anything about helping me get a taxi! Xia Xia has forgotten the fact that He Wei has no money.

Liu Xiao smiled: "You are going to force this bitter child to death!" If you refuse, they want them to send you back. If you want me to say that I am still dead to you like this, it is definitely true love. ”

"Can you stop saying the word true love, he has never been in love for 27 years, but he doesn't see anyone who is true love. Alas, after walking so far, the legs are worn short! ”

"You still had the foresight to know that you were going to work out today and put on your tracksuits." Liu Xiao quipped.

"Besides, your nightclub dancer's makeup this morning was also terrifying."

"Nonsense, we Zhang Yang said that I look the best in that body, sexy and sultry."

"I didn't see it, but it was just right for you to put two fangs on you—by the way, I saw him today."

Liu Xiao looked like a fanged beast, and was just about to come over to bite Xia Xia, when she heard her talk about her boyfriend, she instantly returned to her original state: "Where is it?"

"In the noodle restaurant, he also brought his buddy Huang Quan."

"They're here today, too. Don't you know how much Auntie likes that Huang Quan, and she has been talking all day today! Liu Xiao said exaggeratedly.

"Who doesn't love the local tyrants."

"Local tyrants?"

"People are getting black cards, not local tyrants?"

"Can't you, right? Not a bus card? Liu Xiao thought of Huang Quan's appearance, he really didn't look like a rich man.

"He also said that he invited me to eat at the Wangfujing Hotel."

"He told me the same thing, it must be a lie."

"Whatever."

The girl's words went on and on. At this time, Xia Xia's mobile phone rang, and it was Liang Sipeng calling.

"Hey, is Uncle Liang awake?"

"I just woke up, and the doctor said that it would be up to me to recover after surgery."

"That's good. Originally, I was going to the hospital, but there was something temporary. I'm sorry. ”

"No, I'm already grateful that you were by my side yesterday."

Xia Xia remembered yesterday's scene, her face was enthusiastic, and she didn't know what to say. There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while.

"Are you free now, I'd like to talk to someone."

"Ah, free. Then I'll give you an address, you come to me. ”

"Okay." The phone hung up. Liu Xiao laughed weirdly: "Hmph." There's a situation. ”

Xia Xia pretended to be stupid: "What's the situation?"

"Weren't you tired to death just now? How can you be free now? Oh~, I said that you don't grasp the date with a big star, and you don't cherish the infatuation of little innocence, it turns out that your heart belongs! Say, "Who is it?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, just ordinary friends. His grandfather is sick and depressed, so he talks to me about what's wrong! ”

"It's okay, it's okay, but let me remind you, remember to change your clothes before you go. Do you want me to be like that? Liu Xiao continued to be yin and yang.

Xia Xia grabbed the lollipop in Liu Xiao's hand and stuffed her into her mouth: "Eat your candy!"

As soon as Uncle Liang woke up, he saw Zhao Meiliang spitting and splashing stars. Liang Sipeng saw his grandfather wake up and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, are you better?" Slang also happily called "Grandpa, grandpa......"

"Are you alright? Father. Liang Wanbang walked to the bedside.

"Oh, Dad, you really freak the hell out of us. Wanbang didn't close his eyes for a day yesterday! Zhao Meiliang said like a singing.

"I haven't closed my eyes for a day, so I don't earn less." Uncle Liang said. Liang Wanbang was speechless. "Okay, I know that you are filial. If you're busy, it's okay if you don't come. I'm a man buried in the ground up to my eyebrows. Hahaha - cough cough cough! ”

"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense." Liang Sipeng reached out to help his grandfather pat his back.

"Yes, Dad, you have to live well."

"My little grandson is good?" Uncle Liang reached out and touched Slang's face. The child looked at his grandfather with big eyes flickering. "I've grown taller again." Uncle Liang smiled laboriously.

"No, I'm going to junior high school soon. Now this school district is not to mention how nervous. Dad, the ...... in that room in the old alley"

"Okay, the doctor just said to let grandpa have a good rest, can you stop talking about it." Zhao Meiliang's words were interrupted by Liang Sipeng.

"Yes, Mira, Dad just woke up." Liang Wanbang can't control Zhao Meiliang, after all, he is middle-aged, and many things are exhausted. Zhao Meiliang is only thirty-five. The gap between old husbands and young wives is widening year by year.

"Eh, what did I say." Zhao Meiliang looked innocent.

The corners of Liang Sipeng's mouth twitched, clenching his fists to scold, Uncle Liang slapped his hands and made a "hold back" look.

Liang Sipeng stood up, walked up to Liang Wanbang, didn't look at him or call anything, and said as if talking to the air: "You're not busy today, are you?"

His son took the initiative to talk to him, and Liang Wanbang was happy and afraid, saying, "I'm not busy, I'm busy and I've pushed things off."

"Okay, I'm going out for something, grandpa, you watch."

Liang Wanbang promised again and again: "Okay, good."

As soon as Liang Sipeng left, Zhao Meiliang shouted: "Wanbang, Si Lang still has to go to school tomorrow, my company also has a lot of things, I can't be here tonight." looked at Uncle Liang again and said, "Dad, I really can't leave, why don't I come to see you tomorrow as soon as I have time?"

Uncle Liang said: "No, you all go, I can do it alone, don't there be doctors here?"

"Grandpa, I'm going to stay and take care of grandpa." Xiao Silang said innocently.

"You're going to class tomorrow, have you finished your homework?" Zhao Meiliang did not speak in unison with his son.

"Mira, you can take Slang back first, it's almost half past seven now. I'll stay here to take care of my father, and I'll leave all the company's affairs to Xiao Chen anyway. You go back first. Liang Wanbang said.

Zhao Meiliang immediately stood up when she heard this, and she didn't want to look like she was leaving, so she sat down again and said, "Alas, then it's hard for you, it's not that Si Lang wants to go to school, I'm here to accompany you." After speaking, he stood up again, pulled Xiao Silang out. Xiao Silang lay down for no reason, looking unhappy.

Liang Sipeng came out, and it was already dark. The air outside is much lighter. I remembered Shang Xiaxia for no reason, so I called her.

According to the address provided by Shang Xiaxia, Liang Sipeng came to a shop called heyJude. Outside the store, more than a dozen beer tables were full, and people drinking and eating spicy tang shouted.

Liang felt that the environment did not match his depressed mood, but he had no choice but to go in.

Unexpectedly, the scene inside the store is very different from the outside: soft lighting, simple booths, quiet customers, and soothing jazz music. Liang Sipeng felt in a trance that he had crossed over? Pull the door and look inside and out again. It's so weird!

"Here!" Shang Xia Xia beckoned. Liang Spong went over and sat down. The first sentence was, "What the hell is this place?"

"Hehe, this place is amazing."

"Sort of."

"Is Uncle Liang better?"

"It's better."

"If you come out alone, who will take care of Uncle Liang?"

"Here they are. Okay, let's not talk about that. ”

Xia Xia knew who the "they" in his mouth were, so he didn't ask anymore.

"By the way, what to drink?" Xia Xia asked.

"You know you a little bit about this, I've been scared by this weird shop."

Xia Xia smiled and called the boss.

"Shang Xiaxia, I haven't come for a day. Why didn't you bring your girlfriend today? Oh, it's a boyfriend! ”

"Hey, you fat man, don't talk nonsense. This is my friend. This is the boss here, Jack the Fatty. ”

"Hello. Don't take her to her for granted, my name is Jackie Pons, Jackie pons, you can just call me Jake. ”

"My name is Liang Sipeng. Listen to the name of your shop, like the Beetle? Liang Sipeng was very interested in this boss with long hair tied and a face full of flesh that he couldn't tell whether he was a literary fan or an underworld.

"Heck, there aren't many young people your age who know about the Beetle now. Do you also love music? ”

"I've heard a few."

"Spong, he's a bar singer." Xia Xia said excitedly, not realizing that he had omitted his surname. Really! obviously hates Huang Quan for calling himself by his name, but now he calls himself "Spen" so intimately!

"Oh, that's a fellow traveler. What to drink? Today I pay! ”

"Thank you." Liang Spong is not polite either, because he really doesn't have much money! Although he is a rich second generation, he can support himself by singing by himself, but he can't learn to "eat and drink"!

"This fat man is not bad!" Xia Xia said.

"I didn't say yours, and I'll pay for it." The boss joked.

"Hey, you're so inauthentic to your customers! How much I've spent with you. ”

The boss smiled and said to Spen: "This gentleman only drank three bottles of beer for fifty yuan of Malatang."

"Who's the guy!" Xia Xia slapped the table very gentlemanly.

"So the Malatang outside isn't yours?"

"Ah, I only buy alcohol. Alright, you sit down first, and I'll take care of the other guests. The boss smiled and walked away.

The atmosphere between the two of them was a little cool. Xia Xia wanted to continue the atmosphere just now, and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

"It's okay, I don't discriminate against homosexuals." Liang Sipeng completely let go of the mood in the hospital.

"Hey!" Xia Xia was angry.

The two have cried together, joked together, and drank together, and the relationship has changed from "acquaintance" to "friend". Shang Xiaxia and Liang Sipeng have already done it.

"Alas, with your professional "slap", how about listening to the girl on the stage? ”

The singer who sang at the bar started, a girl with thick smoky makeup, a skeleton tattooed on her arm, and a purple yin and yang head, full of punk style. Holding a guitar and singing on stage, his eyes defiant of everything.

After the two listened slowly, Liang Sipeng said: "In terms of my professional "slap", the singing is really good. It's not very good, it's really good. has strength and feelings, this "Hotel California" is simply made for her voice. But I'm not the same type as her. ”

"Oh? What type are you? ”

Liang Sipeng was just about to say when there was a commotion at the other end of the bar.

It turned out that a drunk customer hugged the female singer and asked her for a drink, and the color of her words can be imagined. The female singer splashed the wine in the face of the guest at once. The two sides got into a fight.

The boss said so badly that he let the singer go first, and finally settled the guests. came over again and asked Liang Sipeng: "You are a singer, can you save the scene?" Rest assured, the pay is as you say. ”

Liang Sipeng promised to help, but said that he would not be paid. Picked up the guitar on stage and sang. "1973", "Yesterday" one after another, the audience applauded continuously.

Shang Xiaxia was intoxicated when he heard it, and it was really not a style. It's as warm as the sun shining on your face. Xia Xia thought, maybe it was because there was too much darkness in his life that he put all the light into the song.

Liang Sipeng sang very happily. Looking at Xia Xia from time to time, the unhappiness of the past few days has disappeared at this moment.

"Your friend is amazing." The boss walked over to Xia Xia.

"That's nice."

"It's a pity that people have a field, and I can't dig people's walls."

In the hospital, Uncle Liang and his son were talking.

"Wanbang, I know that I am dying, and I have one wish. I want you and Spong to be reconciled, and I don't want to see you father and son like this. ”

"Dad, you'll be fine." Liang Wanbang didn't say anything about Spen, he knew that he was at fault.

"Alas, it's also that you didn't treat Span well before. The left early, and the kid was unhappy all the time. ”

"It was me who was wrong, I had a car accident, but I was angry with Spen."

"Don't mention the past, speaking out now will only make Spen more uncomfortable." Uncle Liang closed his eyes, not only because he was uncomfortable, but also because he was thinking about the past.

When Liang Sipeng was fifteen years old, he heard the last thing he should have heard.

That day, he went to his father's company to find his father, and everyone in the company knew him, so he let him in by himself. Outside the door of the half-hidden general manager's office, he heard a familiar woman's voice: "Anyway, I don't care, when will you divorce your wife!"

"Spen is still young, I can't ......"

"Don't you care about me? My good youth followed an uncle like you. Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you about the two of us? ”

"You dare!"

"What don't I dare, you still haven't divorced your wife, believe it or not, I'll ...... her"

At this moment, the door opened, and the six eyes inside and outside the door met each other, and the office was quiet. Liang Sipeng looked at these two people, one was his father, the other was his father's secretary, and he had always called Sister Mei's woman.

Although there were rumors outside, Liang Sipeng never believed it, and his mother told him that it was not true. But now? He saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears!

Liang Spen turned around and ran, and Liang Wanbang chased him out: "Spen!"

Liang Sipeng did not return home for two days and two nights.

And when Grandpa finds him, he tells him that his mother has been in a car accident. The defeated Liang Sipeng couldn't believe all this, and suddenly remembered what Zhao Meiliang said, "I'll ...... her"

Later, Liang Sipeng fell seriously ill and took a year off from school.

"Thank you today, Xia Xia - can I call you that?" Liang Sipeng and Shang Xia Xia walked under the unmanned street lamp. It was almost twelve o'clock when I came out of the bar.

"Yes. Thank me for what? ”

Liang Spong didn't answer, but opened his arms and let out a comfortable breath, saying, "'heyJude' was written by Paul to Lennon's son, encouraging him not to be bothered by the things of adults." Liang Sipeng put his hand on Xia Xia's shoulder and said, "Thank you so much for helping me so much."

"Huh? Yes, it's good to be happy, it's good to be happy. "Shang Xia Xia had no idea who Paul and Lennon were in his mouth; Regarding "heyJude", she always thought that the bar owner was blind.

The two didn't speak, and the atmosphere became ambiguous and awkward.

Liang Sipeng suddenly grabbed Xia Xia's hand and said, "Xia Xia, I ......"

"Ah, I'm here." Xia Xia pulled out her hand and ran away.

Liang Sipeng was annoyed by his cranky thoughts, which must have scared people.

Xia Xia ran home against the door, her heart beating.

I can't sleep for a long time. She thought of Gao Peng again, and remembered the scene that broke her heart.
