Chapter 56: Old Pao'er
"This isn't a light music bar, it's a rock bar, rock!"
The female boss glared at Qian Hao, her face showing annoyance, while her voice was full of determination.
Qian Hao was a little stunned, he didn't understand why she was suddenly angry, and he didn't understand why she emphasized rock and roll so much. However, before he could ask, she had already left the platform and walked towards the bar.
"Uh, Mr. Guo, what is she?"
Guo Dong put the guitar aside, sat down next to Qian Hao, poured himself a glass of beer, and drank two sips of it, then sighed and said:
"Classmate Qian Hao, don't blame Xiao Xu. This bar was opened by her dad, hehe, her dad is amazing. At the beginning, he was called Xu Lao Pao'er, who came over in the golden age, and his voice roared and could give people goosebumps. At that time, I carried a guitar on my back and followed him all over the world for my home......"
Speaking of the glorious years, Guo Dong's face showed a kind of glory, and even his eyes flashed with a sparkling light. Speaking of excitement, he raised the beer and poured it with a clatter, and the wine from the corner of his mouth didn't care if his clothes were wet.
Qian Hao didn't interrupt him, and listened to him quietly, as if he was at home with him and wandering the world.
“…… Later, we came to Yanjing to make a name for ourselves. But, alas, we eventually broke up. Only me and Lao Xu, although we still play rock and roll, but in order to live, we have to sing everywhere. Hehe, Lao Xu is Lao Xu, and later became famous, made money, and opened a bar by himself. ”
Qian Hao still listened quietly, poured a full beer for Guo Dong halfway, and poured himself a glass.
Guo Dong drank more than half a glass of beer, and then the whole person was immersed in memories.
"Rose Night, this is the place where Lao Xu and his mother-in-law met, and it is also the most beautiful place in his life. Hehe, it's also the most beautiful place for me. At that time, the bar was very busy, it was full every night, and many people watched us sing. If you don't sing anything else, you sing rock 'n' roll. Hehe, the little girls are crazy about us. ”
Guo Dong seemed to return to that moment, the wrinkles on his face were stretched, and the corners of his mouth and eyes showed a smug smile. But soon, his face slowly filled with frustration again, like a frosted eggplant.
"Alas, it is also a jealous talent, and someone is trying to praise Lao Xu, but Lao Xu has a car accident...... When Lao Xu left, the apprentices were scattered, and the bar business plummeted. His position as the lead singer is really irreplaceable...... As for me, I also had to leave, and I still have my wife and children at home...... As for the bar, it's useless to persuade him, Xiao Xu is holding on alone......"
The further he spoke, the lower his voice became, not like talking to Qian Hao, but like talking to himself. In the end, there was not even a sound, only his mouth moving.
Qian Hao was silent, just sat there and listened to his silent speech.
After a long while, the middle-aged teacher regained his strength, wiped his wrinkled face with his big rough hand, and then said, "Classmate Qian Hao, let you smile."
Qian Hao didn't smile, but looked respectful, but he didn't say anything of admiration or comfort.
Men, whatever they say, are in the wine.
He poured two glasses of beer again, picked one up himself, held it to Guo Dong, and said, "Respect the years, respect the dreams, and also respect the rock."
Guo Dong was stunned at first, then smiled, picked up the beer, touched it, and then drank it in one go.
After the two of them finished drinking, there was silence again. After a while, Guo Dongcai suddenly said: "Qian Hao, you are very talented, but I hope you can take music seriously and make some good works."
Qian Hao turned his head and saw Guo Dong's vicissitudes of life but serious eyes, and there was a trace of hope in the seriousness, as if he was looking forward to the success of his students.
Although, he didn't teach him, they only met twice.
Unable to refuse, Qian Hao hummed for a moment, and then continued to stare at the wine glass in his hand.
Guo Dong heard him agree, and the smile on his face was even bigger, and said: "You are really talented, don't waste it, I will build you to participate in The Voice of China." Really, you can. ”
Speaking of The Voice of China, Guo Dong suddenly had an idea and thought of the campus singer competition. If Qian Haotong guò this way, the pressure will definitely be less.
But before he could think about it, someone over there was already urging him. When the time comes, he is going to perform on stage. He hurriedly said hello, picked up his guitar, and ran towards the stage.
Now, it's seven o'clock.
However, Qian Hao did not leave, but sat there quietly, waiting for a rock veteran to perform.
It's a performance, not a sing-in.
At this time, the female boss returned to the front desk, and the melancholy in her eyes was even stronger.
Qian Hao thought of what Guo Dong said, and couldn't help but feel some pity and admiration for her. It is this girl who uses her thin shoulders to provoke life on one shoulder and protect dreams on the other.
"Miss Xu, I'm sorry just now." Thinking of his previous words again, he was a little ashamed and apologized generously.
The female boss was no longer angry, but said slightly apologetically for her previous attitude: "I should apologize, you ......"
"Okay, Miss Xu, let's not be so polite. Now, let's watch Mr. Guo's performance together. Qian Hao smiled slightly, interrupted the female boss's words, and said with a little humor.
The female boss was amused, covered her mouth and smiled, the melancholy in her eyes dissipated a little, and she blinked and said, "Then don't call me Miss Xu, call me Xu Ru."
"Well, let's get acquainted again, my name is Qian Hao, and my friends call me a mouse." Qian Hao also smiled, and stretched out his right hand as he spoke.
Xu Ru stretched out her hand to shake him, said a few words, and said with a smile: "Qian Hao, watch Uncle Guo's performance, Uncle Guo sings very well." If you want to drink anything, I'll go and receive guests. ”
Although there are not many customers, there are some, and there are few bartenders, so Xu Ru has to do everything by herself.
After Xu Ru left, Qian Hao held the wine glass and listened to Guo Dong singing quietly. The singing is very tasteful, and the playing is very good, but the song is a bit old, and some young people in the bar are already shouting.
However, there are also some middle-aged people who are immersed in singing. A middle-aged man close to him said with emotion: "It's still the same taste, but it's a pity that Xu Lao Pao'er is gone, and I always feel that something is missing."
Qian Hao saw at a glance that only one-third of the seats were occupied, and some young people were still leaving the scene one after another. It's really a little bleak, and he feels sad for the old cannon on the stage.
This old cannon sings so well.
Xu Ru was sad, she refilled a circle of wine, and when she returned to the front desk, the wine in her hand was not empty, so it can be seen that there are indeed not many people. Of course, her sadness is not this, but Uncle Guo on the stage.
In the past, she watched Uncle Guo's performance, which one was not full, how could it be like today. Not only was there a small number of people, but they were also booed by some young people.
Suddenly, the actions of several young people attracted her attention. Of course, it also attracted Qian Hao.
Qian Hao had already stood up and walked over slowly.
