Chapter 146: Laughing for the Beauty
Fan Jianxin took "Lao Suo" Wen Zhenzu out of the "Xiluo" hotel, only turned a street, and came to a piano shop.
This piano shop is not small.
The front three rooms are frontage houses facing the street, and the back are several irregular houses that expand later.
The main products sold here are Western musical instruments, which conform to the national conditions of China in this era. Musical instruments and other Western objects, along with the advanced technology of the West, also poured into China, squeezing out the original Chinese musical instrument market.
Chinese classical and classic musical instruments...... It is bound to decline.
If it weren't for this, in his previous life, Fan Jianxin only spent 300 yuan, and he couldn't buy the guqin he gave to Yao Nana.
As soon as he entered the store, Fan Jianxin directly crossed the shelves and counters where Western musical instruments were placed, and went straight to the shelves of Chinese musical instruments in the back room.
The guqin that was dusty in his heart, at this time, was lying quietly in the corner of a shelf, allowing the passage of time and the attachment of dust.
It seems that the shop has lost interest in taking care of such old instruments that no one cares about, and allows the dust to disturb them.
This guqin was accidentally discovered by Fan Jianxin from this piano shop...... Just from the appearance of the piano, he knew that this guqin was old.
The price of the piano is 360 yuan, Fan Jianxin doesn't know how many times he has been here, and he paid back the price for three months before he grinded it to 300 yuan, and the merchant is no longer willing to reduce the price.
For this guqin, Fan Jianxin worked hard to make money.
He went to a calligraphy and painting decoration shop on this street, framed calligraphy and paintings, copied or imitated calligraphy and paintings...... He remembered very well that there was very little work in the decoration of calligraphy and painting in that shop, and he did a lot of work, which was to copy calligraphy and painting.
If you copy a modern master's couplet, the store will give him a reward of 1 dime; Copying a landscape painting a few feet square earns him up to 5 yuan – which takes him a week (except for the necessary classes).
How worthless his labor was!
Even so, there is not much work to copy calligraphy and paintings, and sometimes the store does not look for him for months. At this time, people are most concerned about the problem of having enough to eat, rather than the spiritual realm. Although the calligraphy and paintings he copied were vivid, the sales were not good.
The store couldn't give him a few bucks.
At this time, there were no college students in Lincheng as tutors, and although he was a student of the Foreign Language Department of Linhe Normal University, he could not find a job as a tutor.
At this time, the educational atmosphere is like this, and most families do not invest much energy and financial resources in their children's education.
Because college is so hard, who wants to spend money on something hopeless?
Going to a bar to sing is also a kind of helplessness.
He worked as a resident singer in the "Xiluo" bar, because his singing skills were mediocre, and there were no nobles to support him, and he couldn't earn a few dimes a night.
There is a lot of money to be made on the run, but he doesn't have that time. Every night after studying at night, he went to the "Silo" bar and sang - mainly engaged in the accompaniment of musical instruments and the adjustment of electronic audio.
And the bar manager, for a student singer and instrument player of his level, just to increase popularity, sometimes in order to adjust the atmosphere, let him sing a song on stage, to change the taste of customers who come to the bar to consume.
He was knocked out of power, not once or twice......
His real strength is playing the guzheng and guqin, but no one knows how to appreciate it. At this time, people were proud to know a little about Western musical instruments.
He had no choice but to learn to play the guitar, piano, electronic organ, and even the clarinet and oboe for love...... Even with a drum kit (jazz drum), he can beat decently. So much so that later, when he repaired calligraphy and paintings in the United States, and played music with others in his spare time, he only played the guzheng or other Chinese musical instruments, and never touched Western musical instruments.
Because, everything he did for it before was in vain......
Thinking of this, even if it has been a lifetime, it still makes Fan Jianxin feel cold and sad!
Oh, yes...... In order to buy this guqin and give it to his beloved girl, how much bitterness and humiliation did he pay!
Looking at this guqin in this life, I can't help but sigh!
This guqin, whether it is from the piano itself or the collection value of this piano, is indeed worth this money......
His eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, and the bits and pieces of the past, like magnetic dots or pixels with memories, gradually merged into the pictures of his past life.
At that time, how much he loved Yao Nana!
……
"Comrade, is this piano sold for 300?"
"Don't sell it, you figured it out?! We are a public store, under the Cultural Affairs Bureau, how can there be a bargain for the goods we sell? ……”
Fan Jianxin asked, and the clerk had ten sentences waiting.
At this time, the sale is not yet a bargain. Because many commodities are still supplied by tickets, and the price is set by the price bureau, how can there be a counteroffer?
The timing of Fan Jianxin's arrival at this piano store was two years ahead of schedule. He didn't know if the store hadn't been contracted yet. If it is run by the government, there is really no room for counteroffer.
Fan Jianxin took out a stack of "Great Unity" from his backpack, ordered 360 yuan casually, and handed it to the clerk......
This action did not touch the clerk.
Musical instruments are a strange commodity, no matter how expensive they are, someone will buy them, and what they buy is a preference and a pleasure. If you don't like it, you just give it to him for free, and he is not rare.
However, he was stunned by Wen Zhenzu!
What a rich man! ……
Walking out of the piano shop, the "old man" who had been holding back for a long time and had something to ask spoke, but asked another question: "Fan Jianxin, you have obviously been to this piano shop...... Didn't you just come to Lincheng today? ”
"Oh...... Says who? I've been here for a few days, but I just went to school today. ”
"Oh, no wonder you don't have luggage......" Wen Zhenzu wanted to ask Fan Jianxin's family situation, and wanted to ask Fan Jianxin where he got so much money.
A 360 yuan piano, but the salary income of ordinary workers for more than half a year, he said to pay for it, isn't it distressing? !
Wen Zhenzu wanted to ask, but he didn't ask, he felt that he hadn't become acquainted with Fan Jianxin to this extent. However, Fan Jianxin regards the relationship between the two as intimate.
"Alas, you know, I owe Yao Nana too much......" Fan Jianxin's thoughts wandered a little, his eyes were foggy, as if he was talking to himself and as if he was saying to Wen Zhenzu: "Today, just to make her laugh!" I can't give what she wants, in this life...... I can only help her financially and professionally. ”
Hearing this sentence, Wen Zhenzu was even more inexplicable.
Yao Nana ——, he knew the name of the recipient of the note Fan Jianxin wrote to the girl in the music department.
What kind of girl is this?! ……
Can Fan Jianxin not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy a guqin in order to promise a sentence on the note, or to make a smile for the beauty, just to play a song for her? !
Schoolgirls who do this...... He also wanted to see it. Although he was already married, his wife did not have a formal job, but she was very beautiful.
When "Lao Suo" Wen Zhenzu really saw Yao Nana in the "Xiluo" Hotel, he was shocked and suspected of being a fairy!
I thought of my wife's appearance and figure...... A wry smile of helplessness appeared on his face.
When Fan Jianxin and Wen Zhenzu returned to the "Xiluo" hotel, Yao Nana and her group of four had already come to the private room where Fan Jianxin was entertained.
These girls are very good at dressing up and dressing up, in this era of material barrenness, women are still worrying about trivial things all day long, but they are all beautiful and foreign; They didn't think it was a big deal, and each of them brought a musical instrument of their own favorite.
You thought they came to the hotel for a concert.
Ying Ying brought a unique guitar with a huge cabinet, far wider and thicker than ordinary guitars. The shape of the box is peculiar, and it is made into a very beautiful and exaggerated curvature......
Fan Jianxin has the impression that this guitar was given to her by Yingying's boyfriend.
When she was in high school, she fell in love.
However, in her junior year, Ying Ying found that her boyfriend was on good terms with someone else.
For this......
Eh, Fan Jianxin doesn't want to remember anymore.
Jiao Fen brought an upper bass saxophone, and this chick's voice is also very low and a little hoarse, similar to a male voice.
She is Yao Nana's best friend and most intimate best friend.
Initially, she was the most opposed to Yao Nana and Fan Jianxin being together, but later she was the one who supported Fan Jianxin's love with Yao Nana the most. After graduating from college, Fan Jianxin learned about Yao Nana's situation from Jiao Fen's mouth.
However, she later lived in the United States.
What Fan Jianxin didn't expect was that Shi Jinglin also came. She is not Yao Nana's classmate in the same dormitory, and the dormitory where she lives is several rooms away from Yao Nana's dormitory.
It's her, for a little profit, looking for a good-looking female college student for a gangster leader, and the person who tricked Yao Nana into the fire pit......
Her ending is very happy!
In her junior year, she was played by a fake Hong Kong businessman and her belly was bigger...... He was expelled from school and finally didn't know what to do.
The instrument she brought with her was a compact violin.
Fan Jianxin served Yao Nana, and she actually carried her huge guzheng on her back...... Here it comes.
"Yao Nana, is your leg well? …… I'm just going to invite you to a meal, give you a shock, wash the dust, why did you bring this bulky guzheng? ……”
"You're ready to show off the wonderful way of playing the guqin, I've got to give you the chords, right? ……”
Fan Jianxin thought to himself, just play your 24-string guzheng, the sound is earth-shattering, is there still a sound in the guqin?
Judging from Yao Nana's state, her legs should be fine. In the morning, I had already prepared for a support, and it seemed that her legs were not heavy.
"You are Fan Jianxin? …… Hmph, I'll be honest, how did you know my name?! Ying Ying is a temperamental, she stared at Fan Jianxin for a while, her eyes were aggressive, and asked.
"I can name almost all of your music girls......
Fan Jianxin glanced at Jiao Fen and Shi Jinglin, and said to Yingying: "This girl who came with a bass saxophone in E flat key is Jiao Fen, the famous Southern Song Dynasty Jiao Zan's 'Jiao', and the fragrant 'Fen'." He is a native of Lincheng, his mother is a primary school music teacher, and his father is a cadre of the municipal trade union...... She learned to play the saxophone from her father. ”
Shi Jinglin and Jiao Fen sat on a sofa in the private room, and as soon as Fan Jianxin entered the room, she was observing Fan Jianxin...... Seeing Fan Jianxin say this, he hurriedly stood up, smiled like a flower, greeted Fan Jianxin, and said, "Handsome guy, do you know my name?" ”
Fan Jianxin nodded, opened his mouth and said, "Shi Jinglin......", but he snorted coldly in his heart, the name is a good name, but the heart is like a poisonous scorpion...... Be sure to warn Yao Nana and the others to stay away from such people.
"You're the KGB?! You know everything! ……”
"The KGB is all pediatric stuff...... I'm better than they are. For example, you, you used to play the viola, and the violin was changed for the college entrance examination, right? ……”
What Fan Jianxin said can be regarded as Shi Jinglin's privacy, how did this person know? !
Although this matter is not a matter of concern, it is not something that needs to be hidden. But, such a private matter, this person knows, this is also too frightening!
"You, you...... How do you know?! ”
"Huh...... I can guess it when I look at you. ”
Of course, Shi Jinglin knew that Fan Jianxin was talking nonsense.
But it made her think about it very scary!
Her face changed uncertainly, and at last she was frozen in horror...... On the other hand, Fan Jianxin was overjoyed, and even deliberately exaggerated his expression.
He knows that people with dark hearts are the ones who are most afraid of being seen through by others. This is very good, maybe she will act in the future, more restrained and less harmful......
