Chapter 33 Section VI

On the way back to the dormitory, I suddenly thought that Zhou Zhou might not come back to me, and our relationship might end. She became a beautiful figure, appearing and disappearing before my eyes... At this time, I thought of another People——Han Lu, we haven't been in touch for half a year. After returning to the dormitory, I decided to give Han Lu a call.Without looking at the phone book, I dialed the familiar number. I have dialed this number countless times. I don't need to look at the keys, but only rely on the position of my fingers to dial this number accurately. "Hello!" It was Han Lu's voice.

"I'm Qiu Fei." "Oh, it's you, where are you?" "I'm at school, you're back from Shanghai, how are you doing?" "It's okay, how are you, you and your girlfriend are pretty good!" "we broke up." "why?" "It's a long story..." "We are both on the cliff." "Meet and know each other again." "Have our classmates met again recently?" "No, no one is organized, everyone seems to be very busy." "Do you have contact with Zheng Yong and Feng Kai?"

"I make a phone call once in a while, but I don't have many contacts." "What are our classmates doing?" "I don't know, no one can handle their own mess." "I have nothing to do at home recently, come and play with me!" "Okay, I was just looking for someone to talk to." "when will you arrive?" "tomorrow." "What time is it?" "10 o'clock in the morning?" "OK." At 10 o'clock the next morning, I came to Han Lu's house as scheduled. The moment she opened the door for me, I saw a calm heart flowing on her face that was much more mature than before. She has completely forgotten the painful past.

"Sit down." Han Lu put her dad's ashtray in front of me, "You smoke your own cigarettes, I don't know where my dad put the cigarettes." I lit a cigarette and wanted to say something to Han Lu but didn't know how to say it. Han Lu saw my embarrassment and said, "Do you have any plans for the summer vacation?" "No, my mood has plummeted and I don't want to do anything, what about you?" "I'm going to take a CET-4 remedial class. I feel that I didn't do well in the CET-4 exam. Can you pass?" "No, I didn't take the test at all."

"Why, I remember your English grades were good in high school." "Hey, don't mention the past." I took a deep breath. "You seem to have changed a lot." "It's the way everything goes, time passes and you are changed." "You seem to take everything lightly." "No, I've been taking everything seriously, but they keep playing cruel jokes on me like fools." "It's not as serious as you said, let's take the fourth-level remedial class together." "You should report it, I don't want to."

"Where is the tutoring class good?" "Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Beijing Foreign Studies University are all good." "Then I will go to Beijing Foreign Studies University to register tomorrow." The next day, I accompanied Han Lu to BFSU to register. Since then, she has been busy with classes and learning English every day, and has no time to care about other things. At this time, we got some performance opportunities in bars, which also brought us a lot of income. Sometimes we performed in two bars in one night, singing six or seven songs in the first bar, and then rushed to In the next bar, the same six or seven songs were sung.Singing a band will get about 100 yuan as remuneration. In addition to satisfying the band's expenses, the balance is divided equally among everyone. It feels good to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

The chances to perform gradually increased, and our rehearsals became more and more frequent, but all four of us couldn't show up in the rehearsal room on time, and there would always be someone who was late for rehearsal for some reason, while the other three sat in the rehearsal room in vain Waiting and smoking one after another, so in order to strengthen our communication with each other and the outside world, each of us is equipped with a mobile phone. :17 The owner of a western restaurant got our mobile phone number from the owner of a bar where we often go to perform, and called us to try his restaurant, so we went there with our musical instruments.

We played the repertoire that is often performed in rock bars. The boss came up to the stage and covered his ears and said, "Don't play it, it's too noisy. We are a western restaurant here. The band should play some music when the guests are eating." Soft music sets off a romantic atmosphere, with candlelight, steaks, red wine, and soft music, whoever dares to come to our place to eat if you are so loud, he won’t be able to eat it.” Yang Yang played the guitar and sang "Right here waiting". The boss said after listening, "Yes, that's what it means. I want softer music. I'll put on a suit, evening hat, and tie for you later. The guests are here." Let's eat, and you can sing on stage, what do you think?"

Yang Yang said, "How much did you pay?" The boss said, "How about 50 yuan an hour?" Yang Yang put away the guitar and said, "I won't sing for how much money you give me!" 18 A young woman lives next door to the band rehearsal room. The room is about 12 to 3 square meters. Apart from a TV and a double bed, there are only some daily necessities in the room. The floor is covered with a plastic foam carpet. Every time before entering the house, this woman always took off her shoes outside the door and walked into the room barefoot. We don't know what kind of work she is doing, but we only have the impression that she loves cleaning.

During a rehearsal break, we were sitting on chairs smoking, the room was very quiet, no one was talking, at this moment, there was a sound of "creaking" from the bed next door, the sound changed from small to loud, from slow to fast , and finally joined together and mixed with the sound of heavy panting, which can be heard endlessly.After returning from the bathroom, Zhong Feng said that he saw two pairs of shoes at the door of the next room, one pair of the woman's shoes we often see, and the other pair of well-polished men's leather shoes. Yang Yang said: "Is she a 'chicken'?"

Qi Sixin said: "It's possible, but the possibility that the couple are happy in broad daylight cannot be ruled out." Later, we saw all kinds of leather shoes and sneakers at the door of the next room one after another, and they were of different ages and sizes.But what remains unchanged is that whenever these shoes appear at the door in turn, the pair of women's shoes are always placed at the door, which makes us more sure that the woman living next door is "chicken". Once, after a while of ambiguity, we heard a man yelling: "Which grandson is so wicked and stole my shoes. My Italian brand-name leather shoes cost more than 800 yuan! Whoever took them, please hand them over to me!" Come out, or I will be impolite!" The man yelled for a long time, but he didn't see the thief standing up, and his shoes didn't show up, so he vented his anger on the woman, and said, "I spent money to play with you, but you asked me to take the shoes away." Take it off outside, now my shoes are lost, you should take the main responsibility!" The woman said: "You came to find me on your own initiative, I didn't invite you, and you have come so many times, it's not that you don't know the rules here, anyone has to take off their shoes, you wear such good clothes Show me your shoes, who cares? Do you think I don’t know what you do? I saw you selling fish in the vegetable market, and you smelled fishy. After you left last time, you left several pieces on my bed Fish scales." The man said: "You wait, I will never come again, so that you have no business!" The woman said: "Whether you like to come or not, it's hard to find three-legged toads, but there are plenty of three-legged men. I can live without you!" Seeing that he couldn't beat the woman and he was barefoot on the ground, the man calmed down and said, "Lend me a pair of shoes to wear back, and I'll send them back to you tomorrow." The woman said: "You can choose any of my shoes here, and you can wear whichever suits you." Finally, the man returned with a pair of red embroidered cotton slippers. A few days later, when we were rehearsing in full swing, there was a knock on the door.We stopped the instruments in our hands, opened the door and saw that it was the woman next door. "Did it bother you?" I asked. "No, I think your music is very good next door, and I want to come and have a look." This is the first time someone said that our music is good. "Come in and sit down." I asked her to come in. "You practice yours, and I will listen to it casually." After the song was played, the woman clapped her hands and said, "It's very nice, what are you doing?" "We are students, what do you do, eldest sister?" Qi Sixin asked casually. The woman said frankly: "I am a lady. I really envy your students, who can live a carefree life." "We also have a lot of troubles, otherwise why would we use music to express it." "Which school do you go to?" "Peking X University." "Oh, I know, the girl who works in a karaoke bar with me is from your school." "Is it called Shen Li?" Yang Yang asked. "How do you know?" the woman asked in surprise. "Ah, you earned my money!" Yang Yang spoke bluntly. "Actually, Shen Li is not easy for a girl." The woman said. "It's not easy for her. She earns money while learning cultural knowledge, without delay." Yang Yang said. "You don't know the situation in her family, her family is very difficult..." So this woman told us a story about Shen Li: "Two years ago, I met Shen Li on the train from my hometown to Beijing. Li, she is sitting opposite me. She looks very shabby. After more than ten hours of train ride, she only ate an apple and a piece of pancake. I thought she was coming to Beijing to work, but I found out that she She came to Beijing to go to school and came from the same county as me, but not in the same village. She asked me what I did, and I said I was doing business for my friends. Since we are in the same county, I saw that it was not easy for her to be alone. I knew that going out alone would have many difficulties, so I left her the pager number and asked her to find me if she had any difficulties.When we got off the train, we went our separate ways. The next day, my pager rang, and I called back. It turned out that Shen Li was looking for me. She asked me to meet at the gate of your school. , I rushed to the school in a hurry. Shen Li, who had been waiting at the school gate for a long time, dragged me to a place where no one was around and said, "Sister Lan," my name is Ma Xiaolan, so Shen Li called me "Sister Lan", and she said, "You Can you lend me 2,500 yuan? 'I was shocked when I heard it, and thought, this girl's request is too much, she dared to make such a request after only meeting her once on the train.I had been a lady for two years at the time, and I was able to take out the money, but I earned it so hard, how could I lend it to someone I didn't know so easily, so I excused that all my money went into it The goods, and the goods were pressed in his hands, so he couldn't get cash.Shen Li almost knelt down to me, she cried and said to me: "Sister Lan, I beg you, you have to lend me money no matter what, I only know you in Beijing, you don't care who cares about me ah! 'I've never seen anyone borrow money like this. " "Then did you lend her money?" Yang Yang asked. Ma Xiaolan glanced at Yang Yang, and continued: "I asked Shen Li what she borrowed money for. She said it was for tuition fees, and the family could not give her so much money. Then, she told me her own story. There are three children in Shen Li's family. She is the youngest. There are two older brothers who are still unmarried because of their poverty. Shen Li’s father was run over by a truck seven years ago. The driver drove away, leaving her father in a pool of blood. He is a villager. The person who sent her father to the county hospital was rescued, but his legs were gone, so he could only be paralyzed in bed all day. In order to cure her father, the family owed a huge debt. Shen Li's mother and her brother The meaning is to let Shen Li finish high school, and then go to the county to find a job, or do farm work, and earn some money to support the family, but Shen Li took the college entrance examination behind their backs. On the day when the admission notice came out, Shen Li was in a special mood Heavy, she hid the notice in the woods at the head of the village, a very hidden place, if her brother finds out the notice, they will definitely tear it up. Shen Li said that she was neither uglier nor stupid than others, so why did she not have the right to go to school, she felt that life was unfair to her, and she had to rely on her own efforts to go to school.Without her family's permission, Shen Li got on the train to Beijing. The fare was paid for by washing dishes in the county town for a month. She said she would not go home before graduation. Shen Li stuffed her ID card into my hand and said: "Sister Lan, you have to trust me, I won't borrow money and refuse to pay back, this is my ID card, you take it, I will use my spare time to work to earn money." Pay you back. 'I admire the girl Shen Li very much, so I went to the ATM and took out 3,000 yuan to lend her. "So you dragged her into the water in order to let her pay back the money as soon as possible?" Yang Yang asked. Ma Xiaolan didn't care about Yang Yang's attitude, and said, "I didn't intend to ask Shen Li to pay me back the money. The 3,000 yuan is considered to be my subsidy for her. However, one day after four months, I was introduced to a karaoke bar by a friend." When I was at work, I accidentally met Shen Li there. She said that she had been here for a month, and she found it by following the small advertisement on the telephone pole. She also said that in another week, she would be able to pay Pay me back."
