Chapter 26 Those Years
In the evening, two old men, Ying Zhicheng and Li Guohong, got very drunk at the dinner table. They fell on the sofa and watched TV. They were still bragging to each other. In the end, they were all screaming. Big sleep.
Lin Xiuhong stood up to clear the dining table, and Li Luo followed Ying Chanxi to help clean up the living room and kitchen.
"What should they do?" Li Luo looked at the two people on the sofa and turned to ask.
"It's the same old rules." Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes, "Let's cover each person with a quilt. The sofa in Xixi's house is also spacious."
After saying that, Lin Xiuhong went back to get the quilt. Ying Zhicheng, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes again, sat up from the sofa, and pushed Li Guohong in a daze.
"Get up, keep drinking."
Li Luo and Ying Chanxi looked at each other, and then couldn't help laughing.
But he didn't expect that Ying Zhicheng still had the mobility to move, so he stood up unsteadily from the sofa, walked to the vertical cabinet next to the TV, and took out a guitar.
“Friends walk together for life!”
"Those days! Ugh~"
"Hey!" Li Luo quickly ran up, threw the guitar on the sofa, and walked to the toilet with Ying Zhicheng's support.
Walking into the toilet and squatting in front of the toilet, Ying Zhicheng immediately vomited.
Ying Chanxi stood at the door of the bathroom, raising his hand and waving between his nose in disgust: "So why do adults like to drink? It is obviously terrible to drink, but you will get drunk if you drink too much."
"That's it." Li Luo smiled as he patted Ying Zhicheng's back gently.
If he were 15 years old, he would definitely not understand the reason and reason behind this.
But at the age of 35, he knows very well how hard the adult world is.
That is not the deterministic hard work of students, but a completely uncertain hard work with no standard answer, and unexpected hard work may happen at any time.
Going to school is certainly hard, but there is always a clear score to chase.
But after entering society, most of the time you don’t just rely on scores to overcome obstacles.
Wine is not a good drink, but when you want to leave all your emotions behind, wine is really good.
If you want to avoid confusion, there is nothing better than this in the world.
“Maybe it’s not a bar where you drink.” Li Luo said, “Just like when you are in a bad mood, you like to listen to music and empty your mind, and the same goes for drinking.”
"Then why don't you listen to music? Drinking is harmful to your health." Ying Chanxi was obviously a little dissatisfied with his father for drinking too much and was worried about his health.
"Then my dad still smokes, what can I do?" Li Luo said speechlessly. Seeing that Ying Zhicheng had almost vomited, he said to Ying Chanxi, "Bring a towel over here."
Ying Chanxi said "Oh", handed over the clean towel on the shelf, and then said: "Then you can't drink like this in the future, and you can't smoke either."
"You're pretty good at it. "Hand." Li Luo wiped Ying Zhicheng's mouth, and seeing that he looked much more comfortable after vomiting, he helped him back to the sofa and let him lie down.
At this time, Lin Xiuhong had already walked in with two quilts in her arms and covered the two men.
Ying Zhicheng and Li Guohong snored one after another, like a noisy symphony exercise for newcomers.
"Okay, pour two glasses of water and put them on the coffee table. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow." Lin Xiuhong said helplessly, "What do you two say?"
"I want to study with Ying Chanxi for a while." Li Luo said shamelessly.
"If you want to play on the computer, just say so. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?" Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes at him and went back to the opposite room to take a bath and go to bed. "Your dad may not be able to get up tomorrow morning. Remember Accompany me to the store.”
“I know.”
After sending Lin Xiuhong away, Li Luo returned to the living room with no intention of playing on the computer.
He picked up the guitar from the sofa and held it in his arms very skillfully.
Ying Chanxi on the side saw him holding the guitar in a decent manner, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Can you still play the guitar?"
"A little bit." Li Luo I held the guitar and played a few notes, and found some feeling. Then I had a sudden idea and walked towards the door, "Let's go, don't disturb them to sleep."
"Where are we going?" Ying Chan Xi followed Li Luo to the door, put on her shoes, blinked and asked.
“Let’s go to the top of the building.” Li Luo said, already changing his shoes and walking upstairs.
The house in Jincheng Community has a total of six floors. It is a demolished house at the beginning of the century. The stairs can lead directly to the rooftop.
Li Luo held his guitar and climbed all the way to the top of the building, feeling the cool night breeze after the rain. He stepped on the slightly wet concrete floor and breathed a sigh of relief in the moonlight.
Ying Chanxi, who came up behind him, walked to the rooftop, still a little suspicious: "Are you really good at it?"
"Just ask for a song, and you will know if I can do it. ." Li Luo found an open space, turned to look at Ying Chanxi, regained his feeling by touching the guitar, and played a few words casually.
Ying Chanxi saw the confident look on his face, so he thought about it, and then said: "Well... can you sing "Those Years"?"
"This one?" When Li Luo heard the name, he recalled it in the memory palace. When he remembered the lyrics, he was stunned for a moment.
“No way?” Ying Chanxi looked at his expression and thought it wouldn’t work.
But in the next second, Li Luo chuckled lightly, lowered his head and began to play with the strings.
"Back to the original starting point~"
"Your green face in memory~"
"We finally came to this day~" Li Luo said calmly ’s voice sounded on the rooftop, with a bit of memory and nostalgia, immediately pulling Ying Chanxi into the atmosphere of this song.
Ying Chanxi's little hands followed the melody of the song, tapping it gently. The figure of the boy playing the guitar under the moonlight was reflected in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
“…The heavy rain I missed in those years~”
“The love I missed in those years~”
“I really want to hug you~”
“ Embrace the courage of missing out~"
......
After finishing the song, Ying Chanxi stood there in a daze.
Li Luo glanced at her and couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, hey, don't you know how to applaud?"
Ying Chanxi came back to her senses at this time and quickly exerted her strength Applause: "You sing beautifully! And you really know how to play the guitar?"
"I can only say that I know a little bit." Li Luo said modestly.
He didn't lie. After all, when he was making short videos, he did learn from a musician.
But to say how proficient it is, it is definitely not enough.
There is no problem in using it to bluff a little girl like Ying Chanxi.
“When did you learn secretly?” After Ying Chanxi came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but said suspiciously, “I don’t even know.”
“You don’t know. There are still more." Li Luo was afraid that she would keep asking questions, so he immediately strummed the strings again and sang the next song.
......
For two days on the weekend, Ying Zhicheng had a rare chance of not having a job. He stayed with Ying Chanxi at home and even cooked several meals to reward his daughter.
When he left on Sunday afternoon, in addition to daily living expenses and tuition fees, he left an additional 10,000 yuan to Ying Chanxi.
“Dad?” Ying Chanxi was a little confused, “I usually don’t use so much.”
"It's not just for you." Ying Zhicheng said, "Uncle Li, they won't ask for your rent, but when you usually live there, if you have anything to spend money on with Li Luo and your classmates, don't save it. , Do you know?"
Ying Chanxi blinked, clenched the money in his hand, and nodded vigorously.
As for Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong, they took the time to go to the north of Yinjiang District and transferred the house to their names.
However, the couple usually had to look after the store, so Lin Xiuhong called her brother and asked Li Luo's uncle to help move things.
"My mother asked you to pack your things, bedding, clothes, etc., and bring them all with you when the time comes."
The next weekend, Li Luo took advantage of the absence of Yingchan River. class, I went to her house and said hello, "My uncle will drive over in the afternoon and help us move our things to the house over there."
"Is this going to be moved there?" Ying Chanxi calculated. Date, I couldn't help but ask, "Is there still more than a week before school starts?"
"What's going on?" Li Luo looked confused.
"Then if we move there, I will live there directly before the start of school?" Ying Chanxi asked again.
"Yes." Li Luo said matter-of-factly, "You take the bus to school every day, aren't you tired?"
"Actually...it's okay?" Ying Chanxi said, and asked in a low voice, "What about you?"
"Of course I will live there directly." Li Luo looked strange. He looked at her and said, "Your computer will be moved there with you later, and I will definitely have to follow you there, otherwise what will I do?"
Hearing this answer, Ying Chanxi didn't know what to do. Happy or speechless.
"What? You think I won't go with you?" Li Luo looked at her a little funny, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, do you want me to live there so much?"
"I was just thinking of you. You can just cook for me." Ying Chanxi turned away and said harshly, "After moving here, I can't eat the food cooked by Aunt Lin."
"I don't even cook. My mother's cooking must be delicious."
"Haha." Hearing Li Luo say this, Ying Chanxi sneered twice and stared at him with narrowed eyes, "Don't you cook? Is it delicious? Then how come the food on the table tastes so good when my dad comes back?"
Li Luo blinked and was a little embarrassed by Ying Chanxi's stare, and tried to say: "That's not uncle. He did a good job..."
"You're a liar," Ying Chanxi said angrily, "My dad also cooked the next two days, and it's incomparable to the dishes on the first day. "
"Oh, maybe my parents secretly went to help."
"Did you forget that I asked you to go to the bus station to deliver umbrellas that day?" Ying Chanxi narrowed his eyes, showing an expression that revealed only one truth, "When we went back, we met my uncle and aunt at the gate of the community. Where are they? Do you have time to help my dad cook?"
"Why do you remember this kind of thing so clearly..." Li Luo couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"So it's really you who cooked the food for my dad?" Ying Chanxi confirmed this, and immediately grabbed Li Luo's ears angrily and began to settle accounts with him, "That day at dinner, You asked if the food cooked by dad was delicious! How dare you ask!"
"Hey... stop, stop!" Li Luo held Ying Chanxi's wrist tightly and bowed his body to beg for mercy. He said, "Uncle's finger was injured, so I helped him. Just think it was him who did it."
"Huh." Ying Chanxi actually didn't use any force at all. After letting go of his hand, he turned his back and angrily ran to pack the clothes to be moved there.
Li Luo, who stayed in the living room, was also speechless, wondering why Uncle Ying was so imprudent. Did he not have a clear understanding of the level of cooking between them?
How can anyone sell their teammates like this?
"Go to the study to get the computer. I don't know what you need to bring with you." Ying Chanxi was halfway through tidying up when he poked his head out of the bedroom. After he finished speaking, he warned, "Next." If you dare to trick me again, I will ask Aunt Lin to bring the computer back and won’t let you play with it.”
