There is a song playing in the herb garden.

This is the name of a bookstore, and the layout of the bookstore is somewhat similar to a bookstore called "Sanwei Bookstore", and many people who come into the bookstore think that it is an imitation of Sanwei Bookstore, after all, in this area, Sanwei Bookstore is still a bit famous - it is the store where Lu'an's family of three once went, and some people got the signature of Lu'an's family of three there.

Although now because Lu Anzhi has never been to Sanwei Bookstore again, the bookstore is not as lively as before, but the fame of the place still comes out like this.

People don't know why a good bookstore is called "Baicao Garden", and when they ask the clerk who looks at the store, the clerk only says, "I don't know, the name was chosen by the owner." "As for who the owner is, the clerks have not said.

There are two clerks, one is a very young and enthusiastic aunt, and it will be a man on Saturdays and Sundays.

The people in the bookstore didn't know that the aunt was a friend that Wang Ping made here, and when Baicao Garden had just opened, she came here to help check out the store, and the man was her son. There are no formal clerks here, so Wang Ping has to find some reliable people to help here. This situation will not end until a new clerk is hired.

- It's not that she doesn't want to come, it's really that the Sanwei Bookstore is busier, it has become an Internet celebrity bookstore, although because Lu Anzhi hasn't been there since, the popularity has dropped a lot, but in the end the name is still big, and many people like to run there and see and see.

It's a Saturday, and it's Wang Ping's son Yan Shun'an who helps with the store. He is off on Saturdays and Sundays, so he can come to the store to sit and let the aunt who helped Wang Ping rest.

At this time, there were no customers in the store, Yan Shunan sat behind the counter, chose a song to play on the computer, and read a book by himself. He actually likes this, sitting in the bookstore and reading books, it's quite pleasant, after all, he likes to read books. But he also knows that this is only when there are not many customers in the store, and if there are too many customers, he can't care about reading.

The speaker connected to the computer played a new song by Jongwoo. Today, Zhong Yu's new album was officially released, and he knew that Zhong Yu was actually praised by a few songs by his mother's boss, and in this new album, there are two new songs created by his mother's boss, so he is very curious about these two songs. So when he came to the bookstore this morning, he bought a copy of Zhong Yu's album in the video store next to him and played it in the bookstore.

He didn't listen to the chart-topping song released in advance, and he was usually a little busy with work, so he couldn't take care of it. It's rare to be free now, so I just listened to the two songs of my mother's boss.

The first thing he heard was the song "People Like Me". The tune of this song is not complicated, unlike "In the Name of the Father" and "Chapter 7 of the Night", which are so dazzling in terms of technical arrangement, but it is such a simple tune, with lyrics, but it made Yan Shunan stunned for a while.

He listened to Zhong Yu sing "An excellent person like me" at the beginning, and thought that this song was Versailles, after all, the mother's boss is really good, and Versailles is no problem. But as soon as the second sentence came out, he was immediately stunned. The subsequent lyrics flowed out of Zhong Yu's voice in the stereo, and Yan Shunan felt that the voice was pouring into his heart, dead and dead.

"An excellent person like me should have lived a brilliant life, but how come he is still floating in the sea of people for more than 20 years. A smart person like me has long said goodbye to innocence, why did he still use a relationship to change his scars......"

Yan Shunan felt a little depressed. Although his life is still smooth, his parents, wife, and children are fine, and although he is busy with work, he is okay, but why does he feel panicked when he listens to this song and listens to the lyrics that flow into his heart with the tune?

"People who are confused like me, people who are looking like me, people who are doing nothing like me, how many other people have you seen......"

Confused...... Look for......

Listening to these words in the lyrics, Yan Shunan was stunned again. He felt as if he had a little bit of an understanding. A happy family and a smooth career do not mean that he is not confused. Do you remember those ideals in the past? Do you remember your vision for the future? I move forward in life, there are gains and losses, there are persistences, but there are also compromises. What did you lose......

The ...... that I have fantasized about and followed?

But that's what most people experience.

This song wasn't just written for someone.

"A vulgar person like me never likes to pretend to be deep, and when I occasionally hear an old song, I suddenly shake my head. A cowardly person like me, who has to leave a few points for everything, how can he ever think about fighting for anyone......"

Yan Shunan listened to it, suddenly smiled, and thought: I didn't expect my mother's boss to be in such a mood like himself. But is it okay for him to write like this? Obviously, my mother's boss looks like she has such a good life, and she has a wife like Zhang Suxin, and she has a daughter as cute as Slender, and the lyrics are really not like they were written by him. When Zhang Suxin saw these lyrics he wrote, wouldn't she think much about it?

This lyric is so sincere......

It's so well written!

"A lonely person like me, a stupid person like me, a person like me who is unwilling to be ordinary, how many people in the world, an inexplicable person like me, will anyone feel distressed......"

Listening to the song slowly moving towards the end, Yan Shunan suddenly thought that this song was really like a person's unwilling whispering after drinking. You must not listen to this song after you go home, otherwise if you accidentally wander outside, your daughter-in-law will definitely have to think about it.

But I'll be fine if I listen to it more later.

He thought.

Anyway, this song is really good. Although it is simple and plain, it is very moving, especially under Zhong Yu's voice full of story, it is even more infectious. Yan Shunan feels that this song is like his mother's boss tailor-made for Zhong Yu.

"Is this Zhong Yu's new song?"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Yan Shunan raised his head and saw that there was a slightly chubby middle-aged man standing outside the counter, with a slightly protruding beer belly, dressed ordinary, but cleaned up fairly clean.

"Yes, you've heard that?"

Yan Shunan thought that this person was here to buy books, so he asked by the way, "Do you want to buy any books?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, pointed to a piece of paper pasted on the door of the bookstore, and said, "I'm here to apply, I see that there is a clerk here." I've heard this song on TV, and my son and daughter heard it while they were watching TV at home, and they both liked it. ”

Yan Shunan was slightly surprised: "You have a son and daughter, is it okay to work here?" Wages here aren't very high. 1,500 a month, it's a bit difficult to feed a family of four, right? - Sorry, I spoke too straight......"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's okay, you're right." I know that one thousand and five a month can only barely make ends meet. But I can't help it, I can't find another job. I don't have any education, and I have found all the jobs I can find nearby, but there are no suitable ones. "He spoke very calmly and steadily, and there were no mood swings. Speaking of this, he also showed a smile and said, "But I'm not a family of four, I'm a family of three, so the burden can be a little lighter." My wife and I are divorced. ”

Yan Shunan felt that the end of "People Like Me" just now flowed through his mind again.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

He hurriedly said.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Yan Shunan said again, "But if you think about it, if you work here, then your time and energy will be involved, and if you want to find other better jobs, I'm afraid you won't have much time." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I know." I'll write it when I get home, and the manuscript has been reviewed under the maple tree, and if it's okay, it should still be a little profitable. ”

Yan Shunan was slightly surprised and said, "Really? Then you are so good, when the manuscript is published, you must tell me, I will definitely read it. ”

The middle-aged man said, "Thank you." ”

Yan Shunan then asked the name of the middle-aged man and told his mother. After a while, my mother came over, and after learning about the situation with the middle-aged man, I asked the middle-aged man to try to do it in the store, and if there was no problem, he signed the contract.

So the middle-aged man went to work like this, Yan Shunan changed from a clerk behind the counter to a reader in the corner of the long table, and also helped to observe the work of the middle-aged man by the way.

The middle-aged man's name is Xu Changqing, and he lives alone with his son and daughter. The wife went to look for Bai Yueguang and ran away with someone. In order to fight for the custody of his son and daughter, he gave up all his property.

Wang Ping sighed for a long time when she heard Xu Changqing's past, and she felt very sorry for Xu Changqing. Yan Shunan was also a little sympathetic, but he didn't show it, and pulled his mother to restrain her a little. As a man, he knew that a man usually wouldn't want to be so sympathetic to others.

Compared with Xu Changqing, Yan Shunan felt that he was really much happier.

Your own life should really be cherished! He thought to himself.

"When you walk into this happy place, with all the dreams and thoughts on your back, all the colors on your face and all kinds of makeup, no one remembers what you look like......"

Another song written by the damn boss to Zhong Yu came out of the stereo. Yan Shunan waited for this song for a while, and as soon as the unique temperament and story-filled singing voice came out, he knew very well that this song must be the second song written by the boss to Zhong Yu.

He was looking forward to this song, but when he heard the lyrics, he suddenly said, "Why don't you change to the next song?" ”

"Three rounds of wine past you in the corner, stubbornly singing bitter songs, listening to it drowned out in the hustle and bustle, you pick up the glass and say to yourself......"

The lyrics of this song are still so uncomfortable. The song written by the damn boss to Zhong Yu, why is it so sad?

Yan Shunan secretly glanced at Xu Changqing, a little afraid that this song would affect the mood of the man whose wife had just run away with someone.

However, unexpectedly, Xu Changqing was quite calm, and when he heard Yan Shun'an's words, he just shook his head and said, "No, it's very good." I like Lu Anzhi's songs. "He's talking about Lu Anzhi, not Zhong Yu.

Yan Shunan was slightly stunned: "Do you like Lu Anzhi's works?" ”

Xu Changqing said: "Yes, I like his songs and I like them. I went to submit under the maple tree because of Lu Anzhi. Otherwise, I would definitely choose the legend of the past and the present. ”

Yan Shunan said: "You wrote martial arts?" ”

Xu Changqing nodded and said, "Yes." However, one reason for choosing under the maple tree is because of Lu Anzhi, and most of the reason is that the martial arts under the maple tree has little competition pressure. After all, ancient and modern legends are old martial arts magazines, and the requirements for martial arts are relatively high, and they rarely publish newcomers' works. I'm afraid I don't have that strength. ”

Yan Shun'an nodded.

"A cup of respect for the morning sun and a glass of moonlight, awakening my yearning and softening the cold window, so I can fly against the wind without looking back, not afraid of rain in my heart and frost in my eyes. A cup of respect for my hometown and a cup of respect for the distance, guarding my kindness urges me to grow, so the road between north and south is no longer long, and the soul no longer has nowhere to put it......"

The lyrics of "Sorrow" sounded in the stereo. Hearing these four glasses of wine, Yan Shunan and Xu Changqing fell silent.

The lyrics of this song are still so outstanding, and the song has become a foil to the lyrics, but it sets off the lyrics very well, making the lyrics very infectious.

Xu Changqing was in a trance, and Yan Shunan was also in a trance.

"A cup of respect for tomorrow and a cup of respect for the past, supporting my body heavy shoulders, although I never believe that the so-called mountains are high and the waters are long, why should I never forget the shortness of life. A cup of freedom and a glass of death, forgive my ordinariness to dispel confusion, well, after dawn always scribbles away, sober people are the most absurd, sober people are the most absurd......"

After the eight glasses of wine were sung by Zhong Yu, Yan Shunan slowly exhaled and said, "This lyric is really well written." ”

Xu Changqing also nodded and said, "Yes, it is worthy of Lu Anzhi." ”

Yan Shun was relieved but was thinking: Has my mother's boss ever had such melancholy? This kind of song really doesn't look like it's written by a winner in life like my mother's boss.

However, it is indeed very moving!

"When you get off work, do you want to go have a drink together?"

Yan Shunan asked. He rarely drinks alcohol, and even if the company socializes, he doesn't participate much. But now, he took the initiative to mention it by magic. He didn't know if it was because of this song or because he heard Xu Changqing's past.

Anyway, he really wanted to drink two glasses now.

However, Xu Changqing shook his head and said, "No, I have to go home after work." Thanks for having me. ”

Yan Shunan shook his head and said, "Thank you for what?" I wish you all the best in your submission and your life for the better. "There is no better blessing for this person who has worked hard to live.

Xu Changqing nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was six o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Changqing went home from work. After Xu Changqing left, Yan Shunan left Baicao Garden. He looked at Xu Changqing's back, and the last lyrics of "Dispel Sorrow" still lingered in his heart: "Sober people are the most ridiculous......"
