As soon as Lei Xiaowu pushed open the somewhat heavy glass door, a cold wind rushed straight into his face, he subconsciously took a long breath with his mouth open, and exhaled again, that white haze was like a colorless flame in such a winter. Lei Xiaowu rushed out as fast as he could, threw the garbage bag in his hand into the garbage room in the alley next to him, crossed his hands and rubbed his arms and ran back, quickly opened the door and turned around and flashed into the store, and couldn't help but say: "Why is it so cold these days, I'm afraid it's going to snow, right?" ”

At this time, he inadvertently looked out into the road and saw a tall, thin girl with a thick black guitar bag standing outside the store and looking inside.

Are you here to buy a guitar? It doesn't look like it, but it's not on your back, is it? Lei Xiaowu looked at the girl in his heart puzzled while talking to himself - over-the-shoulder black hair, bangs, face below the nose behind a thick scarf, short down jacket, thin jeans, Martin boots. It seems to be a very common girl on the road, but the thick guitar bag on her shoulder, Lei Xiaowu can see at a glance that there is an electric guitar in it.

The girl didn't seem to notice that Xiao Wu's eyes were locked on her for a few seconds, and her eyes kept looking at the store through the glass door. Lei Xiaowu just stood at the door, observing her with great interest, wanting to see if she was going to come in.

The girl looked at it for a while, her eyes suddenly swept towards Lei Xiaowu, and the expression in her eyes seemed to flicker suddenly, as if she had just realized that Lei Xiaowu was staring at her, and there was a trace of panic.

Lei Xiaowu and the girl's eyes met, and he suddenly felt that his heartbeat twitched a frame.

This girl's eyes are so good-looking, those eyes are firmly locked on her eyes like a missile tracking a target, and Lei Xiaowu was a little distracted for a while.

After a moment of staring at each other, Lei Xiaowu opened the door again, and the cold air rushed in again, hitting his not too thick cardigan. This cardigan was grabbed by a friend of Lei Xiaowutuo on eBay, and it was printed with a streamer with the name of his favorite band written on it.

"Are you here to buy a piano?" Lei Xiaowu didn't care about anything, and took the initiative to open the door to welcome guests.

The girl stood still, her eyes still looking to the side, and then she pulled the scarf down a little, revealing a small white face.

"I'm not here to buy a piano, I'm passing by here and I see ......," the girl said.

Lei Xiaowu didn't wait for the girl to finish, interrupted the girl's words, and said, "Come in and see, it's quite cold outside." ”

Seeing this face, Lei Xiaowu was not calm. I'm definitely not a lover who hasn't seen the world, but this girl's soft and strong and beautiful face has a feeling that fascinates me a little, which is different from all other girls, and even different from other Rock-girls I know who play guitar and music.

The girl smiled slightly and said, "Okay, thank you." Then he walked in and looked around.

In the store, a Dada band song is playing, called "Inadvertently".

The girl looked around as if she was looking at something, and said, "This is probably the first time I've heard this song in a store." ”

Lei Xiaowu noticed what the background music was, and said with a smile: "You know this song, I've always liked Dada Band, and now many young people don't know about them." ”

The girl nodded and hummed along with the melody:

"On the way home, there were a lot of feelings.

I'm missing you and have a lot of feelings.

Can you see that I am changed by you.

Can you feel that I am dependent on you.

It cannot be repeated or reproduced,

It cannot be repeated or reproduced,

Encounters are always inadvertent, inadvertent.

Lei Xiaowu stood next to him and looked at the girl's side face, nodding along with the rhythm. That's when he noticed that the guitar bag on the girl's back had a huge Gibson printed on it.

The girl snorted a few words and stopped, Lei Xiaowu said: "You are the first person I have seen to sing, this song must have been ten years, an old song." ”

The girl looked a little embarrassed and said, "It feels like a song that came out a month ago." ”

Lei Xiaowu nodded in agreement and said, "It's still more classic at that time." You're putting Gibson, right? ”

The girl moved her shoulders, swept her eyes behind her, turned to look at Lei Xiaowu, nodded, and said, "Yes, LPJ." ”

Lei Xiaowu smiled and said, "Yes, girl bullet Gibson, or models like LPJ and Studio are better and lighter." ”

The girl smiled and said, "My dream is to have an R9, but I can't afford it, and I like the big G, so I can only buy LPJ." After saying that, she looked back at a handful of R9 hanging on the wall, with a price tag of 38,800.

"I want it too, I can't afford it!" Lei Xiaowu laughed, stood with the girl and looked at the beautiful guitars hanging on the wall, and said, "But I can look at it like this every day, and my heart is comfortable." ”

The girl asked: "When I passed by here yesterday, I saw that there was still a shopping guide written outside, and it was gone today, is it recruiting someone?" ”

"Oh, you said this, our boss didn't think the poster was good-looking, he asked someone else to redesign it, and it is estimated that it will be able to be re-posted in the next two days. Are you here to apply? ”

"Well, I want to try." The girl looked at Lei Xiaowu and smiled shyly: "But I have never had experience in selling musical instruments. ”

Lei Xiaowu felt that he suddenly shuddered, and there was a trace of panic in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Our boss is not here today, there is no way to interview, or you leave a contact information, the boss will come tomorrow morning, he has a guitar lesson, and he is in the store." ”

With that, Lei Xiaowu ran to the small office next to him, looked for it on a desk, and then brought a very simple form and a pen.

The girl took the pen and paper and said, "Then thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble." Then he sat down on a stool next to him and wrote on the counter.

Lei Xiaowu secretly looked at the girl beside her, and after the girl handed back the pen and paper, she said, "Then I'll leave first, and I'll come back tomorrow morning." ”

Lei Xiaowu said: "Okay, you come at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the boss will be free after class at that time." ”

The girl nodded in thanks, turned and walked out.

Lei Xiaowu watched the girl's figure disappear outside the door, and then looked down at the information in his hand, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised.

Oops, I have to call the boss quickly and say that someone has been recruited, and the poster doesn't need to be printed! Thinking so, Lei Xiaowu hurriedly took out his mobile phone, he wanted to tell the boss that a beautiful woman had come to apply, so keep her.

When Yiyi got home, she sat on the bed and looked at the guitar next to her.

She didn't know if she could apply for the job, and she went to the company today to deal with the last bit of formalities after the company closed, including taking the guitar she used to record.

After graduating from university, Yiyi really entered a music company according to her hobby, and for more than two years, she worked as a production assistant while helping to play a little guitar. There are a lot of guitars on the Internet that are played by Yiyi, but the singers and songs are not popular.

Yiyi can still remember how she stood up and lost her temper at her producer teacher after playing a solo in the recording studio I don't know how many times: "What are these things!" ”

The producer said: "Our small company, it's good to help these singers make songs and make some money to maintain, still pick?" ”

What kind of musical dream, in the environment of making those saliva songs day after day, there is no chance to realize it. But even if the company took on any job, it eventually fell in front of the increasingly harsh music market.

Before leaving, the producer said, "Yiyi, if you want to come with me, let's go to a performance company, it's better than making music." ”

Yiyi said: "I still want to make music, I'm not interested in setting up a stage, and I don't have the strength to do that." ”

"Well, if you want to come at any time, you can always come to me." The producer said: "You have worked hard in the past two years, and it has not been easy, I hope you can go well in the future, continue to be kind, persevere, and be strong." ”

When Yiyi went home and passed by that street, she suddenly remembered that she had seen a poster posted at the door of this piano store before, recruiting shopping guides with high salaries. This is a Gibson authorized store, but I also have my own appetite.

Yiyi fell on the bed and said to herself: "After all, the music companies here are almost dead, and there is no hope." ”

This winter was really cold, when Yiyi stood on the street that day, she felt that even through thick Martin boots and woolen socks, her feet were about to freeze, but fortunately, the boy took the initiative to let him in, so he dispelled Yiyi's hesitation to ask if to apply - that is, the time spent in the store was a little short, and those beautiful pianos dazzled me, I didn't see enough, my hands were still a little stiff when filling out the form, and the writing was a little crooked.

Yiyi sat up, and as every day before, skillfully opened the drawer and took out the medicine box, poured out a few pills and swallowed them.

What if he asks me for my ID? Yiyi thought to herself, or she would have lost it.

The next morning, Yiyi took a shower and put on makeup, and suddenly felt worried about getting dressed.

Am I supposed to wear a little rock'n'roll? Yiyi remembered the crop top she wore to a rock festival with her colleagues from the music company last year, and even her colleagues praised her style.

What am I thinking? Yiyi smiled, honestly put on a sweater and a down jacket, thick leggings and boots - still looking like he couldn't find it if he was thrown on the street.

Yiyi arrived half an hour early, and Lei Xiaowu beckoned to Yiyi from afar as if he was waiting, and then helped her open the door.

Yiyi said thank you and walked in. As soon as I entered the door, I heard the sound of a guitar coming from the next room, playing a blues scale, and I could hear it but I was not proficient.

After Lei Xiaowu asked Yiyi to sit down, he poured a cup of hot water for her, and said, "The boss is teaching the piano, and we have several students here." ”

Yiyi asked: "Then is this a piano store and a training class?" ”

Lei Xiaowu shook his head: "Where is it a training class, if there is anything you don't understand when you buy a piano here, our boss will teach it, and the students are all customers." ”

"Oh, that's right."

Yiyi and Lei Xiaowu sat in the store and chatted for a while, and soon the sound of the piano stopped, and two young boys with guitar bags on their backs walked out of the next room.

Lei Xiaowu led Yiyi into the room, a man who didn't look very old was sitting on a wooden round stool, twisting his body and reaching out to fiddle with the Marshall speaker next to him, and there were also two round stools next to him, which should be the seat where the two boys were sitting just now.

The man turned his head to see them, looked Yiyi up and down, and said, "You're the girl who came to apply, right?" Yiyi? ”

"Degree, that's me." Yiyi said with a smile.

"Xiao Wu told me that he was a big beauty, I never forgot it, I thought he lied to me, there are not many girls who like to play the guitar these days."

Yi Yizheng didn't know how to reply, Lei Xiaowu said: "This is Brother Yu, the owner of this piano store, and our Huanyu piano store is his name, Li Huanyu." ”

"Hello Brother Yu." Say hello to Yiyi.

Li Huanyu asked Yiyi and Lei Xiaowu to sit on the two stools next to him, picked up a studio and asked, "What do you usually play?" ”

This is a question that musicians often ask when they first meet.

Yiyi said: "I used to play everything in my previous company. ”

Li Huanyu handed the guitar to Yiyi and said: "Play the last time you played it, pay attention, it's not what you are best at, it's the last time you played, no matter what it is, play it and listen to it." ”

Yiyi thought about it for a while, hesitated a little, and then asked, "Are you sure you want to go to the previous paragraph?" ”

Li Huanyu nodded and waited.

Yiyi grabbed her head, picked up the piano and turned on the clean tone, and played.

Not long, an 8-bar interlude solo.

The expression on Li Huanyu's face was a little strange after hearing this, and he was stunned for a few seconds before asking, "What is this?" ”

"This is an interlude to a song I played for the last internet singer." Yiyi answered truthfully.

"This singer, isn't it popular?" Li Huanyu asked.

"He did three songs in our company, and I don't even remember the titles." Yiyi said: "Our company has done a lot of this. ”

Li Huanyu stood up and said, "It's okay, in the current world, it's difficult to produce good things in music, it's not easy, understand." ”

Regarding Li Huanyu's attitude, Yiyi feels very kind, and this attitude is the same as that of her producer teacher. Next, Li Huanyu took Yiyi to walk around the store, and the two of them looked at the pianos on the wall, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became.

Finally, Li Huanyu shook hands with Yiyi and said, "You are qualified, welcome to join the piano store." Then he said, "I noticed when you played the piano that your hands are very slender and you are indeed a good material for playing the piano, but generally boys have so many hands, and girls rarely see them." ”

Yiyi subconsciously crossed her hands in front of her, smiled, and responded.

Every piano in the piano store has a price tag, and Li Huanyu has set the price lower than other authorized stores, so all the pianos here are not discounted or bargained, and there is no need to carry a price list to mark the price. Li Huanyu's task for Yiyi was to learn as much as possible about the background knowledge of each instrument, including the craftsmanship, timbre characteristics, and who the stars were using, especially all guitars of Standard and above.

Yiyi knew this too well, but she didn't want to say it, so she just listened quietly to Xiao Wu's endless talk, and then nodded.

Lei Xiaowu turned on the computer and showed it to Yiyi, which was full of photos and videos of various rock stars and bands, as well as many concert videos. When a guest comes, Lei Xiaowu will be a shopping guide, and Yiyi will listen to it; When the students came, Yiyi helped Li Huanyu to help, and greeted him with tea and wiring; When there are no customers, I clean up, maintain the piano, watch videos, or sit with Li Huanyu and Lei Xiaowu to check the piano and chat.

This is the content of Yiyi's work in a piano shop that she has never been exposed to at all.

Towards the end of the year, the first snow of the year finally fell.

Lei Xiaowu will check the thermometer and hygrometer in the store three times a day in the morning, noon and evening to adjust at any time, for fear that there will be a difference, after all, the guitar said that it is a few pieces of wood if it is cheap, and if it is expensive, it is a squeamish wood coated with beautiful lacquer.

Li Huanyu came in from outside, holding a flight box, flicking the snow on his body as he walked inside. Yiyi didn't wait for Lei Xiaowu to act, and hurriedly found a mop to mop the water stains on the ground.

Li Huanyu put the flight box on the ground, carefully opened it, and took out an acoustic guitar from it.

"It's so pretty." Yiyi crouched next to him and watched.

Li Huanyu laughed, held the guitar in his hand and carefully looked at every detail, and said: "My little brother is also a customer, I have to ask Xu Wei for the same style, where can I find it for him?" It was not easy to find such a second-hand in the circle, but the condition was awesome. ”

"Is this second-hand?" Yiyi looked at the lacquer and metal parts on the piano, which were almost the same as new.

"It's nice to find second-hand ones!" Li Huanyu said: "It's a lot cheaper than the first one, and my brother likes it very much when he looks at the photo, so I'll send it tomorrow." Come on, you try? After saying that, he gave the piano to Yiyi.

Yiyi found a stool and sat down, plucking a chord.

The SJ-200's wide cavity and exquisite wood create a unique and generous sound, which is indeed quite recognizable.

Lei Xiaowu asked beside him: "Yiyi, you help so many singers play the piano, have you ever written a song?" ”

Yiyi was silent for a while, and said, "I wrote it in college. ”

"Why don't you sing?" Lei Xiaowu leaned over and said, "There just happened to be such a good piano." ”

Yiyi hurriedly shook her head: "In the future, I'll go to work here." ”

Lei Xiaowu said: "That's okay, but I think your voice is a bit neutral, and it must sound good to sing." ”

Yiyi laughed and said, "You don't think I'm a rough man!" After speaking, Lei Xiaowu and Yiyi took the piano to the back workshop for maintenance, Lei Xiaowu did it, and Yiyi helped by the side.

Lei Xiaowu's every movement was like caressing his lover's body.

"When you are doing maintenance for the piano, you are very serious and gentle." Yiyi looked at Xiao Wu and said.

"I'm doing a big health care for Qin, she can't speak, otherwise she must be comfortable humming." Xiao Wu glanced sideways at Yiyi, picked up the neck and stroked it, and said, "What do you think of this technique?" ”

"It's ...... Can't look at it. Yiyi said.

"I used to be rude, I didn't understand it at that time, I couldn't tune the piano well, the paint was wiped out by decontamination, and I could pretend to be uneven when I changed the fret, which was the bottom of Brother Yu's last help for me. Then I understood, Qin, you have to be like a girlfriend, take good care of it all the time, and take care of it carefully to have the best state. ”

"It's like you have a girlfriend now." Yiyi pouted.

"I don't have it now, but I ...... then"

"At that time, it hurt other girls deep enough." Yiyi interrupted Lei Xiaowu's words: "How many times have you said it, it's time to let it go, it's more than twenty people, don't be like a child." ”

After maintaining the piano, Li Huanyu said: "It's snowing today, I'm in a good mood, I'm going to invite you to eat in the evening, eat hot pot." ”

Yiyi heard the word hot pot and smiled very cutely.

"I'm going to eat all-you-can-eat mutton!" Lei Xiaowu said excitedly.

"Eat so much mutton, your mouth will rot tomorrow!" Li Huanyu nodded Lei Xiaowu's head and said.

A guest entered the door, and Yiyi greeted him.

"Welcome to Huanyu Music Store!" Yiyi smiled happily and turned her head to see that the two men were still joking with each other.

This picture suddenly became foggy in Yiyi's eyes, as if it was covered with a layer of filters, accompanied by the music playing in the store, calm and beautiful, this feeling is really long gone.

How many late nights, when Yiyi wanted to calm down, the pain suddenly hit from all directions, just like someone suddenly played a string in the silent night, and the sound was not heavy, but Yiyi was so shocked that she fell asleep.
