Chapter 8 Father and Son
Seeing that he was about to reach the gate of the community, Li Shuwen stopped again.
The "Old Liu Audio-Visual Store" on the side of the road put a big speaker to the door, and it was full of love and love, shouting very excitedly - Dad Li suddenly remembered the song Li Qian sang that day.
Of course, he didn't go to appreciate the song, he went to appreciate the lyrics.
In his opinion, those songs that young people like these days, you, me, and I love to yell back and forth every day, are actually so empty and boring that they don't get to the point at all! Not to mention this, even the works published in those literary magazines are becoming more and more impetuous. It seems that there are only banknotes between the lines and nudes, as if it does not come from life without this-the economy is getting more and more developed, but the spirit is not. Getting more and more desperate.
Good literature, not much more.
In this era, it is rare that there are still people who can write lyrics very carefully, which makes Dad Li very interested.
Put the car away at the door of the store, and Dad Li opened the door and went in.
There was a young man sitting at the counter, and when he saw Father Li coming in, he raised his head and took a look, "What do you want to buy?"
Dad Li said: "Recently, I heard from a friend that there is a very nice song called "Dark Fragrance". Do you have it here?"
"Dark Fragrance?" The young man was a little confused, paused, and asked, "Who sang it?"
"Uh... I really don't know about this."
The young man lowered his head, frowned and knocked on his forehead, shaking his head and said: "I can't think of anyone who sang a song called "Dark Fragrance". I have heard the songs on these tapes and CDs, but I have never heard of the one called "Dark Fragrance."
Father Li was stunned for a moment, and said "oh", it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and turned around to leave the door.
But after going out and pushing his bicycle for a few steps, he stopped again and muttered to himself, "This kind of song, video stores don't sell it? No one likes to listen to it? This is weird, shouldn't it be? Now these young people really... really don't understand!"
Turning his head, he saw another video store not far across the street.
So he pushed the car and went straight to the target.
Go in and ask, do you know the song "Dark Fragrance"? Do you have tapes?
Answer: I don't know, I haven't heard of it.
He backed out, puzzled.
Is it true that no one listens to or likes this song? That's why these audio-visual stores seem to have made an appointment, so they don't go in?
But he obviously thinks that this song is not bad, whether it is in terms of lyrics or music, it should be considered a good song, how come no one likes to listen to it?
He does not believe in evil!
As soon as the tension came up, he didn't go home yet, he got on the car and walked back.
From the school to the community, and from the community to the school, Comrade Lao Li has ridden this road back and forth for twenty years, countless times. He knows what shops are on both sides of the road with his eyes closed.
So, he quickly found another store.
Q: Do you know the song "Dark Fragrance"? Do you have any tapes?
Answer: I don't know, I haven't heard of it.
It's really crazy!
Pedal the bike, go, go to another house.
Q: Do you know the song "Dark Fragrance"? Do you have any tapes?
Answer: I don't know, I haven't heard of it.
This time Comrade Li lost his temper a bit.
I have to vent my energy, one family doesn't know, two families don't know, and the third family still doesn't know...
Fortunately, after leaving the door of this house, there is another one next to it.
ask:……
answer:……
Father Li walked out of the nth video store with a serious expression and full of worries.
He is very helpless.
At the same time very pleased.
Because he can already be sure that the song "Dark Fragrance" that he thinks the lyrics are quite well written is really no one listens to or sells! It is absolutely silent!
This made him feel that the young people in front of him are really impetuous: such a good song, such a good lyrics, no young people are willing to calm down and listen to it, and feel the artistic conception in the lyrics?
Fortunately, fortunately... Fortunately, my son has been influenced by himself since he was a child. Although he is a bit mischievous, he has a good aesthetic taste, and he has not gone astray-look, there are so many songs that have never been heard in video stores. This kid is stunned. It was found out, and he was going to sing it to his little girlfriend. It can be seen that his vision is still very unique.
Unknowingly, Dad Li thought of his own education for his son, and began to summarize its success. At the same time, he also brought out the current education system and began to reflect deeply...
Well, this is purely a knee-jerk reaction of an old educator.
Riding his Changjiang brand bicycle all the way home, thinking deeply all the way, just entering the community, when a car approached, Dad Li just subconsciously evaded to the side of the road, but he didn't expect that car to stop slowly.
"Uncle Li, are you off work?"
Father Li was taken aback, and when he looked up, he saw Wang Jingxue in the little red sports car. He came back to his senses, got out of the car, and said with a smile, "Xiaoxue, are you going out?"
Wang Jingxue said: "I'm going back to Shuntian Mansion. Uncle Li, my dad is busy with business recently and is often not at home. I am also too busy to stay at home. If there is any work that my mother can't do, it will be troublesome." You can help me or something. When I come back during the Chinese New Year, please keep drinking with my Aunt Geng, okay?"
Father Li laughed, waved his hands and said, "How many years have you been an old neighbor, and you still need to explain this? You can rest assured and go about your work! Come out with more good songs, our Xiaoqian really likes to listen to your songs, Mr. Put it at home!"
Wang Jingxue had a strange look on her face when she heard the words, but she quickly smiled and nodded indifferently, "Then I'm leaving, Uncle Li, please!" car.
But Father Li suddenly remembered what happened just now, and quickly said: "Xiaoxue, uncle suddenly remembered and asked you something."
Wang Jingxue stopped what she was doing and said, "Say something."
Dad Li said: "Recently, there seems to be a song called "Dark Fragrance". I looked around for a video store and asked, but they all said they hadn't heard of it. You just stay in the music circle. I'm familiar with it, I think you must have heard of it?"
Wang Jingxue frowned when she heard the words, shook her head and said, "Whose song? The name is "Dark Fragrance"?"
Father Li said: "Ah, it's called Anxiang. As for whose song it is... well, hehe, I really don't know."
Wang Jingxue thought about it for a while, then shook his head again and said, "The people in the audio-visual store should be right, I have never heard of this song... Uncle Li, you don't know, those of us who make music, the street Whatever new song is released on the surface, whether you like it or not, you will listen to it, so I am sure I have heard almost all the songs in the past few years, but the one you mentioned... I really haven’t listened to it Pass."
Father Li was taken aback when he heard the words, "You haven't heard of it?"
Wang Jingxue said seriously: "No." Then said: "Maybe it's an old song from before? Then it's normal if I don't know. In this way, uncle, don't worry, I will help you look up the information when I go back. If there is such a song, I will I'll find a tape and send it to you, okay?"
Father Li was in a slight trance, and when he heard the words, he just nodded subconsciously, "Oh, oh, that's good, that's good, then please help uncle find..."
Wang Jingxue smiled at him and put the gear on, "Then I'll leave Uncle Li first, and I'll call you when I find out the news later. Goodbye."
"Oh, yes, yes, bye, bye."
Red Trot's engine boomed, and the car rushed out quickly.
Father Li frowned like a terraced field, and stood there holding the car for a long time without moving.
At this moment, for some reason, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the conversation between the father and son that day. He remembered vaguely, as if...probably...maybe...what did Xiaoqian say at that time?
That "Dark Fragrance" was written by himself?
…………
Father Li stayed outside for a long time, and when he got home, Mother Li was already busy picking vegetables.
Hearing the sound of the door, and seeing that it was Li's father coming back, Li's mother began to complain, "The price of pork has increased again! This time it has increased by 30 cents per catty! When I was shopping for vegetables, I heard many people talking there, saying that our pork Pork prices have reached the level of developed countries one step ahead of schedule.”
"Ah!" Dad Li didn't have the heart to talk about this, when Mom Li said something, he responded with an ah.
Sitting in the living room, he lit a cigarette, feeling a little lost.
Li's mother said to him: "Smoking in the living room again, I let you smoke it, that's all, my son is only seventeen years old, and his hair is growing, don't smoke him so much!"
Father Li retorted, "What does the smell of cigarettes have to do with being tall? What logic are you talking about! Besides, he's 1.8 meters tall, so it's fine if he doesn't grow!"
Li's mother stared, "What are you talking about, it doesn't matter if it's not long!"
…………
The two were arguing happily when there was a sound of picking out a key to open the door.
Father Li regained his energy all of a sudden, extinguished the cigarette, and stood up.
As soon as Li Qian came in with the guitar on his back, Dad Li said, "Xiaoqian, come to the study, Dad asked you something."
Mama Li cast a disdainful glance at Papa Li, who had fled before the battle, with an attitude that the winner is king, "I'm too lazy to argue with you!" After she finished speaking, she turned and went into the kitchen again.
Li Qian entered the study with a bewildered expression.
Dad Li asked: "Xiaoqian, I remember the song you said that day... was the one called "Dark Fragrance", and you wrote it yourself?"
After learning from the pain that night, now Li Qian's face has thickened a lot, and he nodded without hesitation, "Ah, I wrote it!"
"The lyrics and tune are..."
"I wrote it all."
"oh……"
Father Li let out a long cry, and stopped talking.
Li Qian asked: "What's the matter? Why do you think of asking this again?"
Father Li took out another cigarette, and took a special look at the door - Li Qian tactfully went over and closed the door for him.
Li's father lit his cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "I just went outside and asked a few audio-visual stores, and they all said that they had never heard of this song called Anxiang. That girl Xiaoxue is gone, isn’t she a singer, so I asked her casually, and she also said...haven’t heard of it. This song...was really written by you yourself?"
Li Qian was speechless and nodded.
"Conjunctions and music?"
Li Qian nodded again, and said affirmatively: "Conjunctive words and music."
Father Li suddenly fell silent again.
