Chapter 4: The Band's Crisis.
"Cheng Xi, do you have a stalker!?" Lin You held the rhubarb waist and stared at Cheng Xi opposite, as if two knives could fly out in his eyes and chop people alive.
Cheng Xi said that he was very aggrieved, he was really more wronged than Dou E this time.
He lifted the fruit in his hand to Lin You, and explained helplessly: "I really didn't follow you this time, Mo Xin asked me to come." ”
Lin You hugged his arms and looked at him a few more times, it didn't seem like he was lying, but why did Mo Xin suddenly ask Cheng Xi to come here?
Entering the alley in front of him was Xie Zijin's house, Lin You looked up and just saw Mo Xin coming out of the alley.
"Lin You! Cheng Xi! Mo Xin stepped on his feet and beckoned to them, Lin You snorted coldly, turned his head and passed, and Cheng Xi shrugged at her back and followed.
"Why is he here? Wrong! How did you guys get here? Lin You asked.
Mo Xin held her hand, "Alas, the child has no mother, it's a long story, let Zijin tell you." After speaking, he turned around and greeted Cheng Xi, who had fallen, and hurried to follow.
Walking into the courtyard, Lin You was stunned, she saw several people from the "Fresh Clothes" band, could it be ...... Coming here collectively today to eat?
Lin You thought about it, and greeted them one by one, only to find that everyone was hanging their heads, and they were not in a good mood. She remembered that Xie Zijin didn't seem to be very happy on the phone just now, did the band have an accident?
"What's wrong with you? Why are you doing this this weekend? Is it because there is too much homework to write? She asked half-jokingly.
"Sister Lin You, the band may not be able to keep it." The boy who spoke was called Lu Liu, very thin and tall, he was wearing a black cap, and his head was very low and he couldn't see clearly.
Xie Zijin came out of the back room with an apron, hooked one of them on the shoulder and said, "Eat first, go out to chat after eating, I will cook myself today and be happy to give some face." ”
Lin You immediately put away his thoughts about asking questions, and shouted all the way into the house, and the others followed closely behind, joking and laughing. It was as if the low-pressure atmosphere just now was a gust of wind, and suddenly it disappeared.
The old man who is over half a hundred years old is busy in the kitchen, and the family has not been so lively for a long time.
"Come on, come on, let's eat. I don't have much preparation at home, just some home-cooked food, which is really embarrassing. Grandma Xie held the soup, her steps trembled, and she smiled amiably, which was very kind.
Cheng Xi was the first to stand up and speak, not that others were impolite, but he was too fast and startled the old lady.
Lin You glared at him, he shrunk his neck, turned his head and said, "Thank you, grandma, these are already very good, you don't know that the food in our canteen is bad, and we are all about to become white bone spirits." ”
The old man was amused by him and laughed, and gave him a piece of fish, "Then you all eat more, the family is distressed when you are hungry and thin." ”
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very good, except for Cheng Xi telling a joke from time to time that made everyone almost spray rice, everything else was very good.
Lin You is very curious, how did Cheng Xi, a classmate who is familiar with everyone's skills, practice, and she really wants to learn one or two tricks to walk the rivers and lakes.
But after a long time, Lin You gave up this idea, this kind of thing still depends on talent, Cheng Xi has a talent that many people don't have, that is-shameless!
The meal was very happy, everyone tacitly did not mention the matter of the band, and those who know Xie Zijin know that there is such a grandmother at home, if anyone makes her frown, then he can hate you for a long time and wait for an opportunity to retaliate.
The noon sun was scorching, and a group of people were lying motionless under the big banyan tree after eating a full meal, and the cicadas kept making noise over their heads, and no one spoke.
I don't know who sighed first and said, "What now?" ”
Lin You finally couldn't help but sit up all of a sudden, and asked Mo Xin beside him, "What's wrong?" ”
"The lease of the place where we rehearsed has arrived, and the boss thinks that the rent we gave is too low, so he wants to take the place back" Mo Xin shook his head, also helpless.
I'll go! Is Uncle Zhang so unrighteous? Lin You gritted his teeth, this is clearly a rent increase in disguise, phew! It's the rent increase of Chiguoguo!
"Profiteers!" Lin You gritted his teeth and jumped out these two words, and he felt angry and picked up the pebbles at his feet and threw them into the pond angrily, "How good this Uncle Zhang said when he rented it to us, what is the dream of a teenager, bullshit!" It's all a lie! ”
Xie Zijin pillowed his hands, closed his eyes and said lightly: "There is no treachery or business, and it is a matter of time before the rent increases." Uncle Zhang said that he would give us half a month, and if he couldn't find a new place, he would lock the warehouse, and we wouldn't be able to get the instruments back then. ”
One of the chubby boys also sat up and said angrily: "This is not the only one who has increased the rent, we are all students, where can we get so much money to rent a new place?" ”
Lin You glanced at him and said, "Aren't you Liu Yiping known as being more informed than PHS in the rivers and lakes?" Is there a place to recommend for good prices? ”
The chubby boy touched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "I know the news of lace gossip, but this matter really stumped me." ”
Cheng Xi snapped his fingers, everyone immediately looked at him, he smiled proudly and said, "I may have a way." ”
All eyes fell on Cheng Xi, and everyone was looking forward to what he could do.
"You find a place first, and then I can bargain for you!" As he spoke, he patted his chest, seeming to be confident.
After hearing this, everyone shook their heads, and their eyes were still a little helpless.
Mo Xin teased: "This made me think of another idea, your family is so rich, why don't we kidnap you, and then threaten your parents to let them give me a huge sum of money, and the problem will be solved." ”
Cheng Xi stepped back after hearing this, and made a defensive gesture, "It turns out that you asked me to come here because of this idea!" ”
Lin You shook her head, walked over to Xie Zijin and sat down, she knew that the most pressure now was Mo Xin and Xie Zijin, after all, the band was established by the two of them.
From saving money to buy an instrument, to finding the right band members, to becoming a regular performance band in the middle of the water, Lin You has witnessed the hard work of this.
Lin You looked at the band members who were hanging down, thought for a while and said, "Find a place first, as for the rent, let's get together first, and the most important thing is to take out the things first." ”
"Sister Lin You, we also know that we should unite at this time, but we are all students, and we have more than enough strength but not enough strength." Lu Liu said, took out dozens of yuan of change from his schoolbag and put it on the ground, "No, this is all my belongings." ”
Mo Xin took out a red ticket, glanced at it, and finally gritted his teeth and handed it to Lin You and said, "This is my reward for this monthly exam, give it to you, take it away, I'm afraid I will regret it." ”
