Staying in that little port, the children didn't play with her, as if they were contagious if they were ugly, and they stayed away.
Lonely and lonely, she has always wanted to find opportunities to integrate into other people's groups, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't achieve it.
What she didn't expect was that on the way to Houston, she would meet people who didn't discriminate against her and took the initiative to chat with her. Is this a dream? No, it's not a dream.
In just over ten minutes, they got acquainted with each other, had a common topic, and their relationship became closer.
After chatting, Janis learned that the messy man was called Dugarry, an Italian immigrant who had just arrived in the United States, worked around to earn money, and liked to play the guitar.
The other two, named Blanco and Neuer, had only known each other since they got on the train and had never met before.
Blanco was a handsome young man of gold, neatly dressed and clean, with a gentle personality and an orderly speech. My parents are doctors, and my family environment is relatively good.
Neuer was the oldest of them, he was twenty-two years old, but he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. He is a college student, and he took a week off to watch the concert. Just now he mistakenly thought that Jennis was a man, and when he realized that he was mistaken, he quickly apologized.
"Jennis, you don't have a penny on you, and you dare to go over to watch the concert, it's really amazing."
When they learned about Jannis's situation, they all felt admiration. They had never seen someone so bold, let alone a girl.
"What if you can't find the money in Houston?"
Neuer asked, worried, he couldn't imagine the misery of Janis living on the streets.
"Maybe you asked your family to send you some money?" Blanco came up with an idea.
"Didn't she run away from home, how could her family send money?" Dugarry shook his head and explained.
"Don't worry, I'll get a job over there."
Jennis's wasn't very worried about this problem, she had encountered more difficult things before, and she had also survived.
Dugarry suddenly remembered something, and he slapped the table vigorously and said, "Jennis, you like Alex's songs so much, then you must be able to sing too!" ”
"Well, I can sing a little bit."
"That's easy, I was going to perform outside the concert to make money, or you can partner with me and sing on the street together to make money."
"You can still sing? That's just amazing!
When Blanco and Neuer heard this, they both found it somewhat interesting. They like Alex's songs, and they all sing them secretly, but they just perform in front of so many people, so they really haven't done it.
Jennis's face felt a little hot, and she said in a slump of words, "I, I haven't sung in front of anyone else before. I've only sung to Ugly. ”
"Ugly? Who is Ugly? ”
Everyone thought it was a little strange and asked who this ugly person was.
Janis pointed to the earth dog lying on the ground and said, "Ugly is it!" ”
Dugarry scratched his head with some annoyance, he knew that singing in the streets was something that required a lot of courage. If you don't perform in front of people, it will be difficult to let go and sing.
Blanco thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll lend you money." I have enough money to buy two tickets. ”
Jennith was a little moved, and she said embarrassedly, "How can it be done, this can't be done." ”
Both Dugarry and Neuer persuaded her to borrow money to buy tickets to watch the concert first, and then said that if she sang on the street to make money, she didn't know when she would have to wait until the month and year to make enough money.
"I, I'll definitely pay you back. Definitely! ”
Jennis was touched by these new acquaintances, and she felt that the goddess of fate began to smile at her, and the sun became much brighter. For a long time, the big stone that had been pressing on her heart finally landed, and she could not think about money for the time being, and happily went to the concert with her three new partners.
After getting off the train, Houston has become full of out-of-towners, many of whom are fans from far and wide. They split into two routes, one to find a hotel, and the other to buy tickets for the concert.
To save money, they rented a small house and planned to spend a week here. In order to take care of the girls, they decided to let Jennis sleep in the bed, and the other three would lay on the floor.
"This, that's not good!" Jennis's excuses kept coming, but the three insisted that she sleep in the bed.
"Hey, don't say any more. We're all Alex fans, and if we meet each other, we should help each other. ”
In the end, Janis couldn't refuse, so he had to keep a bed to himself. After the place to stay was settled, the people who went out to buy tickets also returned, and they brought a not-so-good news.
"Tickets sold out!"
"What about tomorrow's ticket? Also sold out? ”
"Tomorrow's tickets are also sold out, not only tomorrow's, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, but also the day after tomorrow."
"Oh my God, where are so many people grabbing tickets with us!"
"What about scalpers? They should have a ticket in their hand! ”
"The scalpers have tickets, but the money of all of us combined is only enough to buy two!"
There were only two tickets, but there were four of them. What can I do?
"Me, my ticket doesn't have to be considered. After all, it's all your money! ”
Jennis, who first said that she didn't want a ticket, and that she had come to Houston just to be closer to Alex. Since there is no way to enter the concert, this is the only way to go.
Neuer insisted: "No, since we are here, we have to go in and watch the concert." Gotta get in! ”
Blanco also nodded and said, "Yes, if you want money, I can call my family and send it." It's just that the time is too rushed, and it can be a bit of a hassle. ”
In this era, there is no network or anything, and it takes a lot of time to transfer and send money, and I really have to wait until the money is sent, I'm afraid a week has passed. Alex's concert will only be held in Houston for a week, and after that time, it will be moved to another city.
Dugarry clapped his hands and said, "Then we can only use my plan, let's all go to the street and sing!" ”
"Will this make enough money?" Neuer was skeptical.
"If you make a little money, maybe someone will give us tickets when they see us perform so well."
For such an answer, everyone does not take it seriously. However, it's not a good idea to sit around and do nothing. It's serious to make money, whether it's singing or part-time work, as long as you can make money.
Neuer decided to go to Houston to look for big companies, maybe some of them were looking for college students to work as temporary workers. Blanco decided to get a job at the mall, believing that with so many out-of-towners coming to Houston, the malls would definitely need a lot of people to keep busy.
As for Dugarry and Janis, they really came to the most crowded square to perform and make money. The ugly also followed, and it squatted next to the two of them, and didn't move around.
It was the first time to perform in front of so many people, and Jennis's heart was pounding. She felt sweat on her forehead, her eyes blurred a little, and her ears filled with other people's voices.
The sound of Dugarry's guitar was like coming from the sky, ethereal, as if time had stopped and the air had frozen. After a while, she came to her senses, and then she was standing in front of many people, completely immobile. Dugarry's guitar and singing are not very loud, but the crowd around him is very loud.
This is an early song sung by the Carpenter brothers, the song is called "YouareMySunshine", and it has a very joyful rhythm. The song was so simple that almost all Americans could sing it, and after the Carpenter brothers covered it, it became even more widespread.
"It's not going to go on like this! You have to open your mouth to sing, to sing loudly. One voice has to be louder than all of them. Dugarry paused and whispered in Jennis's ear.
"I—I'm so nervous, I'm sorry!"
Janis was sorry, she was ashamed of her nervousness and timidity. She made up her mind to sing loudly when she came.
The guitar sounded again, and it was still the same song as before. Dugarry opened his mouth with a few lyrics, and Janis quickly picked up.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. When the sky is cloudy, it is you who make me happy. My dear, you never understood how much I loved you. Please don't take my sun, if your words are consistent, I will always love you and make you happy. But if you leave me and fall in love with someone else, you will regret all those times together......"
Jennis's voice may have been a little small at first, but as she let it go, it grew louder. Soon, people noticed the combination of the two street performers.
Her singing voice may not be outstanding, but her voice is loud, and she can change the voice of others in an environment of so many people.
Gradually, more and more people gathered around them, and passers-by would take a few glances in this direction, regardless of whether they had anything to do or not.
Soon someone pulled out the coin and threw it into the open guitar case in front of them. One, two, three.......
Dugarry began to sing with Janis, and soon he realized that his voice was completely overshadowed by Janis's voice. In the end, he didn't open his mouth to sing, but concentrated on playing his guitar well.
The songs they sang were some very popular tunes, most of them were Carpenter songs. Dugary just had to play it, and Jennis could keep up with it, as if there was no song she couldn't sing.
When Janis got tired of singing, Dugarry would play and sing to herself, giving her a break. After a few hours, they counted the money in the guitar case, and it was more than 2o dollars. It seems that there are many people who come to watch the concert and are not short of money, and they are very generous, with a few cents and a few cents, and a few dollars or two.
"Haha, wealth, wealth!"
Dugarry didn't expect the results to be so good, but he made $2o in half a day.
Janis was also a little excited, this was the first time she had made money by singing guò, and she could earn so much. In the past, when I was working for others, my salary was only $15 a week.
She said in a hoarse voice, "Then let's continue singing in the afternoon?" ”
"You sound so bad, can you hold your voice?"
After Dugarry's reminder, Jennis felt as if a mouthful of phlegm was blocked in his throat, accompanied by a hot feeling. She didn't think it was a big deal, and she said, "Just drink some water!" ”
