"Brother Yuan, why do you hate gambling, others bet on others, if you don't participate, why do you want to smash other people's fields!"
Anseong, on the street, two teenagers, walking on the street again, one person in front, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and one person in the back, tiger head and tiger brain.
Zheng Yong touched his head and asked puzzled.
"Humph!" Zhiyuan snorted coldly, stopped, and glanced at Zheng Yong, "Seeing your eyes shining at that time, do you also want to gamble?" Remember, if I get you gambling, I'll break your legs! Hum! ”
"This ......" Zheng Yong shrunk his neck and muttered, "This is not allowed, that is not allowed, then what are we doing in Ancheng!" You don't go to see your uncle, what's the point of hanging out here, it's better to practice boxing at home! ”
"You!" Zhiyuan glared at him, and then, his voice grew serious, "Gambling is a scam, have you seen a few people who gamble to make a fortune?" It was on TV! In other villages, people who gamble and go bankrupt abound, if you want to gamble, whatever you want, I will go to your grandma's grave and tell her to go, see her son, how promising! ”
"I don't bet, just don't bet!"
Zheng Yong smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, is there any other reason!" ”
"Look at our house, what else? Isn't it different from others? Zhiyuan asked.
"At home? Not the same? Zheng Yong thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason, "No! ”
"Other people's houses have cabinets, tables and chairs!" Zhiyuan said, "Our family originally had it, but now it doesn't!" It's the old man who has been defeated, he used to have everything in the house, he has lost the fields, the forests, and in the end, even the furniture and household appliances in the house, including the radio, all of them have been completely defeated! ”
"Why is this happening?" Zheng Yong was puzzled.
"Because of gambling, dead gambling, rotten gambling, I study, he hasn't paid a penny!" Zhiyuan said coldly, "He just ruined his family, so he came to Ancheng to fool around, form gangs, steal chickens and touch dogs!" ”
"Then I won't gamble in the future, I can't let my mother down!" Zheng Yong said seriously.
"Hmm!" Zhiyuan nodded in satisfaction and continued to walk forward.
"Brother Yuan, why are we here in Ancheng!" Zheng Yong was stunned for a moment and chased forward.
"Look, what kind of place is that!" Zhiyuan pointed in one direction, and he smiled.
"Wow! Anseong No. 1 Senior High School! Zheng Yong became excited and danced.
"This is a famous school in Guizhou, and in three years, I want to come here!" Zhiyuan clenched his fists, "Grandma wants me to be admitted to college and get ahead, here, will be my starting point!" ”
"Brother Yuan, what should I do!" The corners of Xiao Yong's mouth flattened, and he instantly became sullen.
"If you want to be with me, then come on!" Zhiyuan patted Zheng Yong's shoulder, "Actually, I can't get along with the people in the village, but you get along with them, you don't have to follow me all the time, you should have your own dreams and go your own way!" ”
"Dreams?" Zheng Yong was stunned when he heard it, as if he understood or not.
"You'll find out later!" Zhiyuan sighed, "Actually, this is grandma's wish, she is already old, I hope to see me walk into the university hall in her lifetime!" I love to read, it's just my hobby, I just want to learn about the world from books, that's all! Being admitted to university doesn't prove anything! ”
"So, what is Brother Yuan's dream?" Zheng Yong asked.
"My dream?" Zhiyuan laughed, his figure flashed, and ran to another street, "Follow me!" ”
Two teenagers, one after the other, crossed several streets, and finally, came to the door of a storefront.
Inside, there is the sound of music, melodious and tactful.
"Scarborough Bazaar!" Zhiyuan smiled happily and said excitedly.
In front of them, there is a piano shop, inside, clean and bright, with guitars, pianos, guzheng, all kinds of musical instruments.
"This is my dream!" Zhiyuan's eyes fell on a guitar, "I want to carry a guitar on my back and travel all over the world in the future!" Just like Jimi Hendrix! ”
"Brother Yuan, do you know how to play a guitar?" Zheng Yong was surprised, he had been in Longtan Village for three years, and he had never heard Brother Yuan mention it.
"Grandma is gone, as soon as I have a holiday, I will come here to learn guitar! It's been three years since I learned! I've always wanted to have my own, but I can't afford it! The money I made from digging up and selling medicines was barely enough for tuition! Zhiyuan was depressed, "So, I haven't been here for the past three years!" ”
"You can find Uncle ......" Zheng Yong said, closed his mouth decisively, and rolled his eyes, "Brother Yuan, then why are you here today?" ”
"Because ......" Zhiyuan's eyes were blazing, staring at a guitar, "Because, in the past three years, I have scraped together enough money, I have stepped on the herbs for three years, and finally enough!" So, I'm coming, I'm going to take her away, and from now on, she's with me all over the world! ”
"Let's go!" Zhiyuan's voice did not fall, turned into a gust of wind, and rushed into the piano shop.
"Yo! Today, my magpie keeps calling, it turns out that Xiaoyuan is here! A virtuous and elegant woman greeted her and looked at Zhiyuan carefully, "I haven't seen you for three years, Xiaoyuan has grown taller!" ”
"Sister Xiaofang, I want her!" Zhiyuan pointed to the guitar on the wall, his voice firm and powerful.
"This Martin, I knew you liked it, and I've been helping you keep it!" Chen Xiaofang touched Zhiyuan's head, smiled lightly, behaved elegantly and generously, she carefully took off the guitar, "You kid, I sent you before, you don't want to, you ran away all of a sudden, Xiaoyuan, you haven't been here for three years, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine!" Zhiyuan said nonchalantly, he took the guitar in his hand, and his eyes could no longer be separated.
His hand stroked over the headstock, pillows, strings, and finally, landed on the resonance box.
Impatient, Zhiyuan held the guitar and pressed a combination of strings, his fingers, and plucked it gently.
"Knock ......" A piano sounded, but Zhiyuan frowned.
"I'm rusty!" Zhiyuan's voice was hoarse, holding the guitar, as if he was holding a close lover.
Chen Xiaofang stood aside, shook his head slightly, and looked at Zhiyuan, but he was full of doting.
Then, she saw a sneaky figure at the door, looking towards the store.
"Yo! Whose child is this? Chen Xiaofang said with a smile.
"Huh?" When Zhiyuan heard the sound, he came back to his senses, and when he saw Zheng Yong at the door, he was stunned at first, and then shouted, "Unsuccessful bastard, come in if you want to come in, leave if you don't come in, don't hang around at the door, Sister Xiaofang still has to do business!" ”
"Hey, hey! Hey! Zheng Yong was resigned, and walked into the piano shop, but he kept touching the back of his head and smirking.
"Look at what you look like, don't call someone soon, this is Sister Xiaofang, not an outsider!"
Zhiyuan stared, turned his head, and said, "Sister Xiaofang, this is my brother, stupid and stupid, don't you mind it!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Chen Xiaofang waved his hand and pinched Zheng Yong's nose, "This little guy is strong!" ”
"Hey, hey! Is that! Zheng Yong patted his chest, triumphant, "That's ...... Sister Xiaofang, let me tell you, I can carry more than 100 catties of firewood, yesterday, we beat a leopard, at least 130 or 40 catties, I carried it alone, walked ten miles, I ......"
"Shut up!" Zhiyuan interrupted Zheng Yong's words, looked at Chen Xiaofang, and was embarrassed.
"Xiaoyuan, don't yell at him all the time, it's interesting!" Chen Xiaofang said, "Xiaoyuan, otherwise, your brothers and sisters should have a meal here, my sister hasn't seen you for three years!" ”
Zhiyuan was moved, this woman has no relatives with him, but since he came here to learn the piano, this woman has always been very good to her, like a relative.
But he didn't want to stay here.
For three years, he has not come here, and there is another reason, that is, he does not want the old man to know that he is studying the piano here, in the past, he has come secretly, except for his grandmother, he has not told anyone.
The old man is out of the way, he doesn't want those messy people to come here and make this place a miasma.
Three years after his grandmother's death, he only became quiet in his heart here, which was the cleanest place in his heart.
Zhiyuan was silent, silently putting Martin into the guitar case and carrying it on his back.
"Sister Xiaofang, this is this Martin's money, eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, a lot!" Zhiyuan took out a black plastic bag and put it in Chen Xiaofang's hand.
"Xiaoyuan, what are you doing!" Chen Xiaofang's face became extremely ugly, "I said that this piano was already given to you, don't you treat me as a relative?" ”
"This is the herbs I have stepped on for three years, and I have accumulated, I don't know how many mountains and rivers I have climbed, but fortunately, I stepped on an orchid grass, a rare variety, and sold for thousands of dollars!"
Patting the guitar on his back, Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, "I like her, this means a lot to me, I can't ask for it in vain, sister, I know you are good to me, but these are two different things!" ”
"Three years, three years of medicine, just for a guitar!" Chen Xiaofang felt distressed, "Xiaoyuan, why are you suffering?" ”
"Do what you like to do, fight for your goals, don't be bitter!" Zhiyuan took a step forward and hugged him lightly, "Sister, I'm leaving, you have to take care of your body, drink less wine in the future, and hurt your body!" ”
"Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan, remember to come back and see me!" Chen Xiaofang shouted, however, the back of the Zhiyuan brothers had already disappeared into a corridor.
"You know I drink, you know I often drink alone!" Chen Xiaofang's tears burst out of her eyes, "Did you come to see me secretly, but didn't speak, and when you saw me drinking, you walked away disappointed......"
He took the black plastic bag, opened it, and inside, there were layers of money, all kinds of colors, one-yuan, two-yuan...... Five dollars, one hundred dollars, some are crumpled, some are very new.
She held it in her hand, and it was extraordinarily heavy.
"What a good boy, but why is his life so bitter! I hope that Martin will accompany you and be happy in the future! ”
