190 Stage
"He Beifan, He Beifan."
The boy stopped wiping his hand on the table and looked at the man behind him.
I saw Uncle Lei's straight suit, a dark blue bow tie around his neck, and a pair of big leather shoes polished.
"Uncle Lei, where are you going?"
"Let's go, Beifan, put down the rag in your hand and accompany me to the bar for a drink." The corners of Uncle Lei's mouth were smiling.
"Uncle Lei, how are you today?" He Beifan was a little surprised by Guo Lei's performance today.
He didn't expect that Uncle Lei, who usually has a serious face and works late at night, would have the leisure to go to the bar for a drink or two today.
"Okay, I'll accompany you." Beifan said, walking towards the bathroom.
The boy felt inexplicable pleasure, and a sense of relief welled up in his heart, "It's good to go drink." Finally, I can find a chance to take a break. ”
The clear water rushed on Beifan's skin, making him feel very relieved.
He took the opportunity to wipe his face again.
Uncle Lei in the hall was a little impatient, and couldn't help urging:
"Hurry up, Beifan, are you okay?"
"Alright, alright." Beichen replied and hurriedly walked out of the bathroom.
"Yingying, Yingying," the man shouted into the back hall of the hotel.
"What's wrong?" Guo Yingying walked out of the back hall.
"That, Beifan and I are going to the bar for a drink, you take care of the store." As he spoke, he waved his hand at the woman.
"Hey, don't drink too much, if you drink too much, I can't get you home.
And you Beifan, look at him, don't let him drink so much. ”
"Alright, alright, got it, let's go."
Uncle Lei said and took He Beifan's hand and walked outside the store.
"Beifan, it's my birthday today, but no one knows, so I want you to have two drinks with me.
It may be a kind of fate that we can get to know each other. ″
"Also, when I was wandering around, I just entered your noodle shop, which is indeed a kind of fate."
Bei Fan grinned.
"You are a capable child, and you are willing to endure hardships.
But why would you leave home? Did your parents treat you badly? ”
Beifan shook his head, "I don't have a father. ”
"Oh, sorry, offended".
"It's okay." The boy didn't seem to mind, and after a pause of a few seconds, he continued:
"I live at my grandfather's house. I have a very good brother and my family loves him.
However, because of my love for music, I was opposed by my whole family.
I don't understand why I should live my life the way others do.
I have my own ideas, my own plans, but they don't allow me to do that.
In the end, I stubbornly chose music, and they thought I was unproductive.
I love my family and want to fit in, but I often compare myself to my brother at home.
Music is something I love and I'm willing to dedicate myself to.
But because of this, I was often ridiculed at home.
Unable to bear it any longer, I decided to leave. ”
"Kid, you should be home after being out for so long. ″
As soon as the words came out, Uncle Lei felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly added:
"Well, I didn't mean to drive you away.
I just feel that your family loves you very much, and you should go back so as not to worry them too much. ″
"Love me? What is love?
If you can't understand me and don't respect my dreams, can this also be called love? He Beifan said coldly.
"No, Beifan, listen to me, go back......"
"I don't listen. I am my own, and I no longer want to live in anyone's world, according to whose expectations.
Yes, I don't have any money, but if I have a pair of hands, I won't starve myself to death.
I'm poor, I have nothing, I can't hold up my musical dreams, but these are temporary.
I'm not in a hurry about this matter. I'm still young and I still have a lot of time.
Even after many years I can't be an excellent one. Musicians, I don't regret it either.
At least, I tried, and I gave myself an explanation.
Perhaps, this was a big mistake I made.
But why force it to be right? The boy said, his eyes filled with tears.
The man in front of him was silent, he seemed to be thinking about what Bei Fan had just said.
He suddenly felt that Beifan's words were very reasonable, and his heart seemed to be touched by something, and his blood was boiling.
Uncle Lei slept with a sip of wine in a goblet and stopped talking.
The sound of big rock music filled the bar, and a band from nowhere performed enthusiastically on stage.
From time to time, there were bursts of applause from under the stage, "Okay, it's really good to sing." ”
The crowd was boisterous.
He Beifan's eyes were also attracted by the band on the stage, looking at their trendy heads and gorgeous costumes.
The boy seemed to envy them, and he longed for himself to have such a stage.
This stage doesn't need to have many spotlights, and it doesn't need to have many audiences.
It's just an ordinary stage that belongs to him He Beifan.
Although he is small, he can make the boy sing happily and let the world listen to his voice.
The boy thought this and smiled stupidly again.
Suddenly, the sound of rock 'n' roll stopped, and everything around fell silent.
The band on the stage took the instrument in their hands and walked down.
"What are you going to do? Is the song finished for today? ”
A big-bellied man stepped out of the crowd at some point and confronted them.
"We can sing, you give money! Give money and we'll sing.
As long as you give us money, you can sing as much as you want. The lead singer responded.
"I'll give you your money, can't you owe it for another two months? The big-bellied man looked a little unreasonable.
"No, you've been indebted to us for months, so you must know it very well.
Do you need money for light? We are human beings, and we have to eat! The lead singer roared, excited.
The big-bellied boss suddenly changed his face:
"Who do you think you are?
For the two songs you sang, I can give you some money, and I can count on you.
is so ignorant of lifting, if you don't want to sing, let me go! ”
"Let's go, we don't care about a little bar like this."
With that, the lead singer left the bar with the entire band.
The crowd is starting to get restless.
"Boss, don't you have any songs to listen to today?"
"Will they come here in the future?"
"Hey, it's boring, the band is gone, what else is there to drink in this wine? ″
"That's it, boss, the band is gone, what will happen to the money for ordering songs?"
"That's it, return the money."
"Return the money, return the money." The crowd grew louder.
The big-bellied *** didn't know what to do there, and he only felt a weakness in his legs.
He Beifan stood up from the bar seat abruptly and walked in the direction of the big-bellied man.
"Beifan, why are you going?" When Uncle Lei reacted, the boy had already slipped into the crowd.
Beifan's heart was in his throat, although the surroundings were very noisy.
But in the eyes of the young man, it was quiet and terrifying, and he could clearly hear his own heartbeat, once or twice.
There is timidity, but as soon as it sprouts, it is defeated by the blood in his heart.
"No, I have to take every opportunity."
Thinking like this, He Beifan unconsciously quickened his pace.
"Boss, look, now that the band is gone, can you give me a chance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy regretted it a little.
"What chance do you want?" He snapped.
"Well, can you let me sing a song on stage? Beifan stammered and asked.
The big-bellied man looked at the teenager in front of him, shabby white shirt, white-washed jeans.
Looking at him, it doesn't look like he can sing.
"Forget it, what can you sing?" He said unceremoniously.
"Boss, please, give me a chance!
If you think I can't sing well, it's not too late to let me go off stage?
Besides, if you don't let me sing, what will happen to the money they pay for the song? ”
The big-bellied man couldn't resist his persistence, and he was reasonable when he thought about it.
Now that the band is gone, and the crowd is making such a big noise, it is better to let this kid go up and sing two songs.
Let's not talk about how he sings, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor! One step at a time.
"Okay, I'll give you this opportunity, I'll go and put music on you, what to play, what you sing."
He Beifan felt that every cell of his body was excited to dance, "Thank you." ”
With that, the boy couldn't wait to walk towards the stage.
The melodious prelude sounded slowly, and under the spotlight, Beifan clutched the microphone tightly, for fear of losing anything.
His heart was beating faster, his hands were cold, and he unconsciously closed his eyes as he looked at the crowd of people in the audience.
"Three, two, one". Beifan said silently in his heart.
Accompanied by the music, the boy sang in a colorful voice.
As soon as a lyric came out of his mouth, the crowd began to rejoice.
"Hey, who's this kid singing on stage? Why did he go up and sing? ”
"I don't know, I've never seen him."
"Don't say it, he sings so well, no less than that band."
"Yes, yes. This time, the boss picked up a bargain. ″
"If only this young man could come often."
Uncle Lei looked at He Beifan on the stage and couldn't help but applaud.
"I didn't expect that this kid really has two brushes. Yes, musicians, you can. ″
In the small bar, the crowd slowly quieted down, immersed in the natural sound of teenagers.
After singing the song, He Beifan's face turned red, and he bowed deeply to the audience, "Thank you!" ”
With that, the boy walked off the stage.
"Hey, don't go, don't go, sing another song!"
"It's just, why are you in such a hurry to step down?"
He Beifan was about to walk towards the bar seat next to him, when he felt someone gently tap him on the shoulder.
"Would you like to sing in my bar in the future, young man?"
"What?" He Beifan looked at the pot-bellied man and felt delirious.
"I said, come and sing in my tavern every night from now on?"
Seeing that the boy did not answer, the man continued:
"Don't worry, the money won't be less for you.
If you think it's less, I'll add more. ”
"Is this really possible?" Beifan hesitated.
"What's not to do? Meet me, my surname is Chen, Boss Chen. ”
"Okay," Bei Fan walked towards Uncle Lei, "It's too late, I should go back." ”
Boss Chen looked at the young man's back and said uneasily:
"Hey, I've got it, I'm going to come tomorrow."
Beifan walked to Guo Lei's side by himself, but saw the sincere look in the man's eyes, "You kid, it's not bad, you were favored by the owner of the tavern so quickly." ”
He Beifan looked embarrassed, "Where, you are laughing." ”
"Not bad, not bad." For He Beifan's performance, the man couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Do you understand now?" The path to chasing your dreams is actually very simple, as long as you work hard to seize the opportunity, there is nothing you can't do. ”
They walked out of the tavern, and the evening breeze was blowing. It was already late, but Beifan didn't feel the slightest sleepiness.
This world is so strange, you wanted to give up on yourself a few days ago, and now Beifan has the strength to move forward again.
