Memories of the year 229

In fact, I lost nothing. He's right.

Life is back to the way it was, how it used to be, and how it is now. In my life, there are only my wife and children and boring and boring work, these are what I deserve, no one forces me, God wills, in fact, most middle-aged men live like this, I have nothing to be dissatisfied with. And back in the great 2009, from the perspective of my original life, nothing was lost. The wife is still the same wife, and the son is still the same son. Moreover, there is no more worry about brain tumors, only the joy of the guitar.

Looking back now, I can't help but feel a sense of emptiness and helplessness when I think about me before I was reborn. Although the boring and tiring life made me depressed to the point of inner madness, it was indeed a life that I had to abide by before I was born again, and it was a conventional life. For decades, I sat quietly in the cage of life, guarding the ordinariness of the world, occasionally trying to cry out twice in the depths of my heart, but no one could hear my voice, neither my wife nor my son.

I'm acting, yes, that's a more apt description. Although I was tired and tired, the stage was still there, the lights were not extinguished, God did not stop, so I had to keep playing, faithfully playing my role and doing my part, until that day.

Until I met another Zhou Xu, another me, until the night when the miracle came, until I woke up and found myself back in 1990.

It was only then that I began to be my true self and embark on a life that I had never imagined before, ostensibly simply repeating four years of college, but my life changed in essence. I don't know who changed it, only God knows.

Ironically, when I am free to be myself, I borrow another body, another "me".

All I can say now is that being reborn changed me and changed my trajectory in a strange way. Chen Yuyang is right, I haven't lost anything, but he is also not right, because I have actually lost a lot. As for what exactly was lost, I can't be entirely clear.

Perhaps, the ones I lost were the ones I should have had.

After sitting on the couch and thinking about it for a long time, I decided to get up and cheer up. I took two slices of bread from the dining table, smeared them with jam and ate them, and when I was full and energetic, I got in the car and drove straight to Jiefang Road.

The intersection of Jiefang Road and Jianguo Road is right in front of you, and as expected, the musical instrument shop that used to be visited with Chen Hong is gone.

Then I set off to the teaching staff road and Wen Er Road, anyway, the time is right, I only think that this day is a jet lag after being reborn.

At the intersection of Wener Road and Jiaogong Road, the beautiful and exquisite church is also gone. Just the day before the surgery, I was in this church listening to the pastor tell me that Almighty God is a friend of man, and I saw Li Yun standing there like a statue as white as jade, and her despair as she stood in front of my car and looked at me.

Maybe there was a bad omen at that time, but I didn't pay much attention to it in my confusion.

The church may be gone, but a large musical instrument store stands majestically, the largest in the city.

I walked into the mall and walked straight to the second floor, where dozens of guitars of all kinds hung on the wall, and I found it almost effortlessly, with a black body inlaid with an ivory white border and a distinct red mark on the neck. God bless the manufacturer of this instrument, after more than ten years of changes, it still has not closed down.

"Do you want to buy a piano?"

A voice came from behind.

I turned around and saw a petite but brightly dressed girl, although she had a mature dress that was obviously beyond her years in the 80s, and although there was a kind of tiredness between her eyebrows, I still recognized her at a glance.

She is Chen Jing.

Or rather, Chen Jing in another time and space.

I smiled and said lightly, "I'll take a casual look." ”

"Okay, please." The girl said politely, and was about to turn away, when I said, "How much does this guitar cost, young lady?"

Chen Jing turned his head and said with a smile: "This guitar is on sale, the original price is two thousand, and now the discount is one thousand two hundred yuan." ”

I sighed, thinking to myself, it's been more than ten years, and this price increase is completely normal.

I said, "I want to buy this guitar, can you tune it for me?"

Chen Jing immediately said happily: "Okay, wait a minute, I don't know how to tune the guitar strings, I'll let someone else tune it." ”

Seeing that I looked a little hesitant, she immediately said, "Don't worry, we have a very professional tuner here." You wait a minute, it'll be fine soon. ”

So saying, she carefully removed the guitar I had fancied and led me through the second-floor instrument shelves to a window, where a young boy sat with his back to us, playing a few notes in front of a piano at random, as if adjusting the tone of the piano.

The girl, Chen Jing, shouted at the boy: "Zhou Xu, can you help me tune the strings of this guitar?" ”

I was shocked and stood there watching the boy turn around. It was a handsome, white, young face.

Yes, he is Zhou Xu!

Zhou Xu, the guitar king of Hangzhou Normal Academy, the Zhou Xu who has the same name and surname as me, is also the neurotic wandering singer who plays and sings in the underground corridor of Yan'an Road. But the devil knows who he is now?

Zhou Xu looked at me and smiled politely, his smile carried a hint of sunshine and soft warmth, which made people instantly full of trust and good feelings for him.

"Wait a minute." Zhou Xu opened his mouth and said to me.

His voice is exactly the same as in 2009, and the same as in 1990, still full of sunshine.

Zhou Xu played with the guitar familiarly, playing a few notes quickly, and then quickly adjusting the tightness of the strings on the pillow, obviously he was already a skilled veteran in this area.

"Alright," he said, "it's fine." ”

Chen Jing smiled: "You are so powerful, you are getting faster and faster, faster than the last time you tuned the piano." ”

"Because this piano is better," Zhou Xu said with a smile, "This piano is an old brand, and the manufacturer has been producing it for more than ten years, and each one is a high-quality product, really, this gentleman really has a vision." ”

I smiled wryly and thought, yes, I bought the same one more than ten years ago.

I took the piano and thanked Zhou Xu, and looked at him meaningfully, he just said politely to me: "Yes, you are too polite, let's try the sound first." ”

It's true that he doesn't know me at all, yes, that's another world.

In this world, in the world I live in now, Chen Jing doesn't know me, Zhou Xu doesn't know me, and even I don't know myself anymore.

I picked up my guitar and plucked the strings casually, and to my own surprise, the melody I was plucking was the beginning of the green sleeve.

Zhou Xu was obviously stunned for a moment, and his face changed slightly.

I stopped after a few hits and said, "It's good, the tone is good, the tone is accurate, thank you, you're in tune." ”

Zhou Xu smiled a little unnaturally and said, "You play better." Very few people play this tune, you love this song Green Sleeves. ”

I nodded, said goodbye to Zhou Xu, and followed the girl to pay. Zhou Xu had been standing there watching us go down to the second floor.

After buying the piano and walking out of the piano shop, I suddenly felt that the sunlight outside was so dazzling that I felt like a dream.

Yes, everything in the piano shop was like a dream, I didn't want to think about it anymore, put my guitar in the trunk of the car, and went straight home.

As I walked along the Faculty Road, I saw the renovated Museum of Natural History, and suddenly a strong heartache struck me, and I was in pain for a moment.

When I saw the entrance of the Natural History Museum, my first feeling was to go home and tell Lina, who loves to visit all kinds of museums, that the Natural History Museum has been renovated and can be visited.

However, where can I go to find my Lina now?
