Chapter 15 "May You"(1/2)
Guitar?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Qi Ping said with a smile: "Of course."
He walked behind the bar, took out the guitar, and handed it to Zhang Qing, with encouragement in his eyes.
After Zhang Qing thanked him and took the guitar, he walked to the stage without using a microphone and said to Qi Juan who was smiling below: "I didn't know that today is your birthday, but the monitor helped me a lot, and so did my uncle and aunt. Qi
I read some of the books my uncle gave me and learned some knowledge, so I tried my best to write a song. I will give it to the squad leader as a birthday gift today. I wish you a happy birthday."
Everyone applauded, but Qi Juan was still shouting: "Sing quickly, stop talking nonsense!"
No one else took it seriously, just treating it as a birthday program.
Zhang Qing had a serious expression on his face, and when he plucked the strings, both Qi Ping and Qi Juan were a little surprised, because the chords were beautiful.
After he spoke, even Li Suzhi, Liu Shanshan and Chu Tiantian were surprised because the words were also beautiful.
"May you have warm winters
May you not be cold in spring
I hope you have an umbrella on rainy days
May your dreams be peaceful
May you be gentle and kind
I hope you are not upset
May your time slow down
May the old friend never leave!"
Off the stage, the smile on Qi Juan's face gradually faded away, and she stared blankly at the stage. Her bright and moving eyes were flashing with luster, and her blinking frequency was a bit high.
Qi Ping looked at Zhang Qing carefully. If for no other reason than a boy moved his daughter so much, how could he not be wary?
Li Suzhi was surprised and appreciated it, not only because the lyrics were good, but Zhang Qing's singing was also very sincere.
Liu Shanshan and Chu Tiantian were moved and felt a little sad. Are you over it?
What will they do on their birthdays in the future? Should they invite someone to sing "Lotus Flowers Fall"?
"May you be accompanied by your beloved for the rest of your life.
No sadness but joy
May you have someone to support you and not be alone
Troubles are short-lived
May your hurried pace slow down
Never forget to look back
May you have all the fun in this life without regrets
Everything is perfect.”
The radio stopped abruptly.
A very short little song.
Zhang Qing stood up, his eyes calm and magnanimous.
Qi Ping was the first to applaud, followed by Li Suzhi, followed by Liu Shanshan and Chu Tiantian.
Qi Juan didn't applaud, but she smiled brightly and her eyes were brighter than before.
Qi Ping looked at Zhang Qing who was walking down, nodded and said: "The singing is good and the voice is good. You can show this song to Lady Xu..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Juan shouted loudly: "Why? This is my song!"
Qi Ping said with a smile: "Are you ashamed? Zhang Qing also needs money."
Zhang Qing said hurriedly: "Uncle Qi, it's really not necessary, and I have enough money now."
Liu Shanshan laughed at the side and said: "What's enough? You've started to eat vegetables now, either two cents of shredded potatoes or one cent of cabbage."
Li Suzhi glared at her with obvious displeasure and said: "What are you talking about? What's wrong with potatoes and cabbage? You are almost becoming a charming lady who doesn't know the sufferings of the people... What are you laughing at? Do you think this is a good thing?"
Qi Ping also said: "We also ate these when it was very difficult back then, but we will always get better."
Zhang Qing was not angry and explained: "No need, I really don't need money urgently now."
Li Suzhi frowned slightly and said, "I heard from Juanzi that your parents are not in good health?" She doesn't like people who are very strong in trying to maintain their reputation.
Qi Juan stared at Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing thought for a while and said: "If I needed it before yesterday, I really don't need it today. I wrote a novel and published it in "Ancient and Modern Strange Talks about Martial Arts" because
The feedback was very good. This morning, a review editor from the magazine came to discuss the publication. I also went to the class teacher Yang with her, and then we negotiated and signed the contract. The magazine paid me a royalty, which is enough.
My parents need to go to the doctor. If the book sells well, maybe I can give my dad a kidney."
After the words fell, there was silence.
Money and so on are nothing to everyone present.
But……
Is this just a matter of money?
It is a great honor to put words into print and see them in writing, whether now or twenty years later.
The point is, some magic is unreal.
A rural boy with such a poor background, whose parents were seriously ill, wrote a novel and got out of poverty?
Qi Juan looked at Zhang Qing funny and said: "You said you wrote a novel? I know at least 70% of what you do all day long. In the remaining 30% time, you can write a novel that can be printed?
"
Li Suzhi asked from the side: "What's the name of the book? "Martial Arts Collection" is also ordered in the reading room of our unit. Some young people like to read it and often discuss it."
Zhang Qingdao: "The title of the book is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"."
"Holy shit!"
Chu Tiantian, who looked a little strange from just now, was shocked and said: "You really wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? Are you Jin Yong?!"
She also loves to read casual books, and she buys every issue of Martial Arts Collection.
When Zhang Qing mentioned it just now, she vaguely guessed which book it was, but she couldn't believe it. How could it be possible?
Unexpectedly, it was actually him!
Liu Shanshan was also speechless and said: "Wang Lei, that idiot, was holding a martial arts book on the road just now and was reading it. He insisted on using Zheng Yang to practice the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon. Qin Yuan was also watching, saying that she wanted to practice the Nine Yin Manual and defeat Wang Lei.
.result……"
It turns out this book was written by the person they despised the most.
What kind of world is this?
Qi Juan looked at Zhang Qing and asked seriously: "Can you tell me, what else do you want?"
Zhang Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "When people are in desperate situations, they will always find ways to find a way out."
The scene fell silent, these words... were a bit tragic.
However, the reality is indeed tragic.
Li Suzhi looked at Zhang Qing and said: "When faced with a dead end, most people blame others and then give up. They believe that there is no need to struggle pointlessly. But you are different. You found a way out in an impossible situation. Xiao
Zhang, Auntie congratulates you."
Zhang Qing's smile was a little forced. If it hadn't been for that dream, he would actually be one of the ordinary people.
In this absurd world, only the absurd can change destiny...
He nodded and said, "Thank you, auntie, and thank you, uncle."
Qi Ping smiled and said: "Originally, I found an interest-free loan for you. Juanzi said that she has made great progress in her studies and benefited a lot from you. Now it seems...no need?"
Hearing this, Qi Juan hurriedly said: "Hey, one code equals one code. The royalties can't be obtained immediately. People are in a hurry to use the money now. Moreover, if they lend it out now, they happen to have mortgages. Shouldn't they be more confident and borrow more? Old
Qi, don’t be stingy!”
Zhang Qing glanced at Qi Juan and said with a smile: "No need, the magazine society has paid a royalties in advance, which is enough."
Qi Juan looked at Zhang Qing as if he were a fool and said loudly: "Do you understand what interest-free loan means? I don't want you to pay interest, so you can get it first, and you can make money by lending it out to earn interest!"
The latter sentence was naturally a joke. Zhang Qing smiled and said nothing, but it was obviously a polite refusal.
Li Suzhi looked at Zhang Qing and smiled and said: "If your parents want to come to Hanjiang Province for medical treatment, you can come to me. I can't help you, but I can help introduce two doctors."
There is a little more appreciation in his eyes, and he has good character.
Zhang Qing heard this and said sternly: "Auntie, thank you!"
Li Suzhi smiled and nodded, saying: "If the outside world doesn't know about this matter, it may not be a good thing not to spread it for the time being, especially at this time. I suggest you put the college entrance examination first."
Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Yes, except for the head teacher, Mr. Yang, and the roommates in the dormitory, no one knows about it. The roommates have been sharing food with me in the past few years in high school. I hope to repay something when I am able.
. But if you don’t tell the truth, they won’t accept it. So..."
To be continued...
