Old people don't know how to tell stories.

But every word he said carried a lot of weight.

With simple and simple language, the long scroll of history of a difficult time is slowly unfolded in front of two young people.

Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I can still feel the great spirit of fighting and sacrificing for the ideals and the revolution.

Yu Jin stood outside the window, looking at the fireworks outside, listening to the old man's life and memories, silent.

The old people of that era all had faith in their hearts.

Jiang Muqing listened to the old man's story and already had a song in her heart.

After a while, when the old man came back to his senses from his memories, he sighed, and said to Jiang Muqing with a smile: "Okay, my story is finished, it's not verbose, right?" ”

"Not verbose at all."

Jiang Muqing said with a smile: "This is the best story I have ever heard, and it is also the most touching story." ”

"Do you have any inspiration to write a song?"

The old man said, "I know that you literati need an inspiration or something to write. ”

"I write a song, I don't need that thing, now I already have a song in my heart, grandpa, do you want to listen to it, how do you feel?"

The old man was surprised: "So fast? ”

"It's okay."

Jiang Muqing didn't want to tell the old man that she couldn't write songs, she just moved some songs out in advance.

She was actually a little hesitant about this song.

Because there are two songs that are more suitable, one is Faye Wong's "As Wished", and the other is a special version of "Dislocation Time and Space" rewritten by CCTV.

In the end, she still chose "Dislocation Time and Space".

Its lyrics seem to be more straightforward and down-to-earth than wish-fulfilled.

Another is that this song is more like a dialogue between the old people and the young people now.

It just so happened that there was a piano in the chess and card room.

She got up and sat down in front of the piano, because of the old man's story just now, Jiang Muqing now didn't need to re-brew her emotions at all, she had already immersed herself in it.

This time, she played and sang this song, not only for the elderly, but also for those former ancestors.

Thanks to them, and thankfully with them.

Jiang Muqing's fingers lightly landed on the piano keys, she took a deep breath, and then began to play.

"You were the same age as me that year~"

"Young as a young song~"

"But in order to create that new world in my dreams~"

"You turned around and hurried into the wind and rain~"

“.”

The notes flowed from her fingertips, slowly, with a time-traveling rhythm.

She closed her eyes and sang the first lyrics, her voice gentle and powerful, as if able to penetrate the defenses of her heart and touch the softest parts.

"I see, thousands of lovely you~"

"Don't look back and run to the depths of the gunsmoke~"

"How many youthful backs disappear into the night~"

"In exchange for the dawn~"

The singing echoed in the chess and card room, every word, every note, like a scene and an emotion in the old man's story, which was given new life by her singing.

Yu Jin stood quietly aside, his eyes were full of respect for the old man and admiration for Jiang Muqing.

The old man sat aside, his eyes gradually becoming deeper, as if he had returned to the era of fire.

"I look up at the starry sky you've seen~"

"Meet again through a hundred years of time and space~"

"I look up at the starry sky you've seen~"

"The earth under your feet has changed time and space~"

Jiang Muqing's voice became more powerful as the song progressed, and every word seemed to tell the story of a hero and the memory of an era.

There seems to be a magic in her singing that makes people forget time and space, and just want to immerse themselves in this history, feeling that unwavering faith and indomitable spirit.

As the song progressed, the old man's eyes began to glisten with tears, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, which was a nostalgia for the past years and a blessing for the hope of the future.

A trace of tears also flashed in Yu Jin's eyes, and he was even more determined to cherish the happiness in front of him and continue the ideals and pursuits of those ancestors.

At the end of the singing, Jiang Muqing raised her head lightly and looked at the old man and Yu Jin, her eyes were full of warmth and firmness.

On this special night, the three of them experienced a journey across time and space together in the chess and card room.

The old man slowly stood up, with tears in the corners of his eyes, walked up to her, patted her on the shoulder gently, and his voice was choked but full of strength: "Thank you, child, this song is the most expensive New Year's gift I have received." ”

During the Chinese New Year, sadness is never the main theme.

Yu Jin broke the heaviness uncomfortably, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Grandpa, how is my daughter-in-law?" ”

"Okay."

The old man smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and repeated, "Very good." ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

The old man then said to Jiang Muqing: "Girl, this song, you find a better music company to record it, I will arrange it, send it out, I want everyone to listen to it, wake up, let everyone remember, that history." ”

"Okay, grandpa." Jiang Muqing nodded.

"Who pays for the song?"

Yu Jin said on the side: "My daughter-in-law is still a college student, and she doesn't have a penny. ”

"I'm out, I'm out of my own pocket."

The old man smiled happily: "I haven't spent a penny of my salary over the years, so I saved a little." ”

"That's fine."

"Okay, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back by myself first."

The old man said, "You can talk to your parents later." ”

"Grandpa, then I'll send you."

"So many guests are still there."

The old man smiled and said: "I don't need you to send it, it's the New Year, you young people have a good time and enjoy this beautiful prosperous world." ”

Strange to say, as soon as he finished speaking, the secretary outside the door walked in very magically and helped the old man up.

Before leaving, the old man suddenly turned to the two and said, "When you are in the first year of junior high school, remember to come to my house to have a meal with me." ”

"Okay, grandpa."

After the old man left, Jiang Muqing glanced at Yu Jin with dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "Why are you so picky, and you still want grandpa's money, we don't have nothing." ”

"You don't understand that, do you?"

Yu Jin said with a smile: "Recording with the old man's money, the old man may be so happy in his heart, this is called a sense of participation, do you understand." ”

"As long as you're smart, I'm stupid."

Yu Jin said proudly: "Definitely, otherwise why can I be the national champion, and you only took one Tsinghua exam." ”

"Grandpa said you were fake, there was moisture."

"Cut, he's envious, jealous, hateful."

Yu Jin said: "Let's go, since grandpa is gone, let's go back to the private room to accompany them." ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Muqing smiled and advised: "When you go back later, remember to ask for more red envelopes." ”

"You too, it's a rare opportunity."

"Hahaha......" (end of chapter)
