Chapter 716 Lonely Man
What broke the happy atmosphere was the beep of the eDonkey locking the car.
"Old Hu is back." Ma Qiushan looked at Xu Hongdou who was a little confused with a smile, "It's Hu Youyu from Room 3 of our courtyard, a singer in the city."
Xu Hongdou nodded clearly and then looked towards the door.
Just after a while, Hu Youyu, who had long hair, wore loose fashionable clothes, and carried a broken acoustic guitar on his back, walked in with an electric car battery in one hand and packed snacks and barbecue in the other.
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, he was stunned for a moment, and then noticed two unfamiliar faces. He put the packed meals on the table, put the battery on the ground, and walked up to Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou. , stretched out his hand: "Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Hu Youyu. I live in Room 3. I have seen messages from many people in the group. I am the one who welcomes you. You are Wang Yan, you are so beautiful The big beauty is Xu Hongdou, right?”
Hu Youyu is also quite interesting. He got together with a divorced woman whose children are all in college. Of course, you have to admit that that woman is indeed very charming.
However, Hu Youyu also has some problems. He sings in bars to make money, but emotionally he acts like a junior brother. It cannot be said that there are no good people in bars, but obviously there are not many good people who hang out in bars for a long time. He is also a singing contestant and quite handsome, which is very attractive to some women. As long as he wants to, having ten or eight girlfriends a year is no big deal.
But what he showed was that although he looked carefree on the surface and was relatively enthusiastic about women, when it came to his true nature, he was very clumsy. This is of course not contradictory, but it seems a bit strange when it appears in a resident singer like him. Of course, it is possible to emerge from the mud without being stained. Although this is abnormal, it is not impossible...
Wang Yan smiled and shook hands with him, while Xu Hongdou smiled politely. The handshake only involved fingers, and they both said hello.
Hu Youyu didn't pay attention and was still very enthusiastic: "I knew you were coming, so I bought a lot of delicious food. How about it? Do you want to have a drink together?"
"Sorry, we just finished eating less than an hour ago and I can't eat anymore." Xu Hongdou shook her head and politely refused.
"It's okay, we can just talk." Hu Youyu shook his head regretfully, looked at Wang Yan, then at Ma Qiushan and Nana: "How about the four of us have a drink?"
Ma Qiushan waved his hand, and Nana spoke first: "I won't eat after lunch. Just now Wang Yan and Hongdou called us for dinner. They wanted to drink early. How could they wait until now? Wang Yan, how about you follow him? Have a drink? It’s familiar.”
She just watched Wang Yan's dinner helplessly. Good guy, he ate all that meat and drank several cans of beer. He was really a big eater.
Ma Qiushan waved his hand: "It's better to say goodbye. Wang Yan just ate so much and drank several cans of beer. I don't think he can eat anymore. Besides, eating at this time is not healthy and is not good for the body. ." Right, Wang Yan?"
Wang Yan smiled and nodded. Ma Qiushan was afraid that something bad would happen to him and it would be too troublesome. He said: "I'll drink two more cans with you. It's not a big problem. In addition, I also have a lot of specialties from various places. Go and take a look. You can take whatever you want to eat at any time. Don't be polite."
"Be particular!"
Hu Youyu went to charge the battery, then rummaged through the big bag on the ground, took out the roast chicken and soy sauce beef, and gave Wang Yan a thumbs up. After all, a roast chicken costs fifty, and a large piece of soy sauce beef costs seventy or eighty. He looked at the big bag and found that except for some random pickles, they were all hard vegetables.
He turned around and said, "Hey, where's Barley? Ask her to come down and have something to eat. You can't just shut yourself in the room all day long. She also needs inspiration when writing novels. Ask her to come down and let's talk. ”
"Da Mai writes novels. That's her job. Do you think it's so casual?" Nana rolled her eyes at the boss.
"You have to eat when you need to. I'll call her."
"Hey, don't disturb Damai." Nana stood up quickly and tried to stop him.
But Hu Youyu didn't care about that. He turned around and walked out of the house and came to the courtyard. His hands were in the shape of a trumpet: "Damai, Damai, come down for a late-night snack. The new tenants of the small courtyard are also here, and there are also specialties from various places. Woolen cloth."
Because Nana was sitting inside, she kept saying, "Don't shout, don't shout." When she came out, Hu Youyu had already finished shouting.
She slapped Hu Youyu on the back unhappily: "Don't shout, it will affect Damai's writing and the neighbors' rest. Have you forgotten the rules of the courtyard? No noise is allowed after eight o'clock."
The force of this slap was not small, but not very big, but it still made a clang sound, causing Hu Youyu to stagger. He grinned and rubbed his back, a little aggrieved: "I said you were too cruel this time, and I didn't speak loudly, right?"
Nana wanted to scold him a few more words, but just then Hu Youyu's phone rang with a new message notification.
"Is it barley?" she asked.
Hu Youyu took out his cell phone and read the message: "Yes, you guessed it right. I can't say I can't stop for dinner. Thank you for my invitation."
"I told you, if you don't believe me, you have to disturb me." Nana rolled her eyes and walked back.
At this time, she was the boss of Hu Youyu. Firstly, it disturbed the atmosphere of their original chat and came back at the wrong time. Secondly, of course, she was clamoring to find Damai. What if it ruined Damai's writing ideas?
Wang Yan ignored them. At this time, he had brought another dozen beers to the table, opened the snack barbeque that Hu Youyu brought back, and started drinking.
Seeing that Wang Yan was still eating and drinking, Xu Hongdou frowned and said, "Don't you eat so much at night and not accumulate food? After a long time, you will have bad gastrointestinal problems, right?"
Ma Qiushan nodded: "Yeah, I just said, you can't eat and drink like that. A few years ago, I was the same. I ate and drank all day long, and ended up becoming a high person. Look at how greasy I am now. It's just from eating and drinking. Reply not going."
"You just haven't practiced enough. If you find a reliable fitness trainer, you will be different in two months." Wang Yan shook his head, "I don't eat much. The main reason is that I don't feel comfortable drinking without a little something to go with it. Let's drink just now. I drank so much tea, but now I can change it to beer. It won’t be a problem. Thank you for your concern. Come on, brother, have a drink.”
Wang Yan greeted Hu Youyu who was sitting on the other side of him, touched the jar, and looked up at the jar.
After drinking, with Ma Qiu Shan's Adam's apple twitching, Hu Youyu ate the snacks he brought back with a big mouthful. The corners of his mouth were stained with oil. He shook his head and sighed: "I originally brought it back because I wanted to eat together. Otherwise, I would eat in the city and come back, and now the taste would be quite different.”
After saying that, he looked at Wang Yan tinkering with the computer. He curiously poked his head over and said, "Wang Yan, your photography skills are quite good. The photos you took of Hongdou look like a fairy."
Wang Yan smiled and said: "The main thing is that Hongdou has a good foundation."
"That's true." Hu Youyu clicked his tongue and sighed, "Just like Hongdou, who can't pursue her in a row? But you got a big deal..."
"You are wrong." Wang Yan glanced at him and continued to work.
"Wrong idea?"
"You think they look like a couple, right? We thought so at first, but that's not the case." Nana had recovered now. She knew that Hu Youyu had no other intentions. After all, it's not wrong to ask someone to eat. , she said with a smile, "They met by chance..."
After listening to Nana explain what happened, Hu Youyu leaned on the table and looked at Xu Hongdou on the other side who was focusing on looking at his beautiful photos.
Sensing his gaze, Xu Hongdou smiled: "Yes, it's what Nana said. We met by chance. It's such a coincidence."
Hu Youyu patted Wang Yan on the shoulder: "Then you have to work harder."
Hearing this, Wang Yan glanced at Xu Hongdou, whose cheeks were slightly blushing, laughed, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Aren't you the resident singer in the bar? You have some talent, let us experience it?"
"no problem."
Hu Youyu clapped his hands happily and did as he said. He stood up and unpacked the guitar, took out his broken acoustic guitar, carried it on his back, and strummed the strings a few times.
He said: "I recently composed a new song called Lonely Man. You are the first audience. Please give me your opinions."
"We are not professionals, and we do not have such strong appreciation ability. We can only rely on our own preferences to say whether it sounds good or bad." Wang Yan smiled and stretched out one hand with one eyebrow, "Come on. , friend, please start your performance.”
The quality of a song can often be known just by looking at its name. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people just give their names a bad name, but the actual works are still very good, with good lyrics or wonderful music. But the possibility of combining the two together is slim. Because usually, the song title captures the best words somewhere in the lyrics, or condenses the meaning of the song.
There is no doubt that Hu Youyu's works are in the category that cannot be excluded. Just by looking at the name, you can tell that this song is not good. There are neither good words nor wonderful music.
After listening to Hu Youyu's sincere singing and looking at his expectant eyes, Wang Yan was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "Your voice is very distinctive. Although the range is not very wide, it has a certain degree of recognition." The breath is also very stable, and the singing skills are sufficient. This is the basis for you to make a living. I personally think that maybe your covers are better, after all, they are all popular, tested, and suitable for public entertainment. Works. Maybe you can also make some arrangements and add some drums or something.”
Following Wang Yan's words, Hu Youyu's expectant face drooped, and the room became quiet.
Suddenly, Ma Qiushan, who was cultivating himself, couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing, followed closely by Nana, followed by Xu Hongdou, who covered her mouth, and Wang Yan, who kept smiling.
Although this kind of collective ridicule is not very good or polite, it is obvious that in various social situations, there are many people who are either malicious or kind like the scene at this moment. If you fall out, you are just being petty. If you don’t fall out, you can afford to play.
Hu Youyu is a person who can play well. He waved his hands irritably: "I just said that I don't understand music appreciation. Look how professional it is. It's both the range and the breath. If it doesn't sound good, don't do it. It sounds good, really.”
Putting the guitar aside, he sat back at the table and touched Wang Yan. He drank heavily and said boldly, "One day, I will be able to write a song that will be popular all over the country."
Wang Yan spoke again: "I'm not trying to hit you, but judging from the song you just sang, Lonely Man, your creations tend to be folk songs. It's just that folk songs have become popular in the past few years, but those few songs are still popular, and many people don't really like to listen to them. So it's basically impossible for you to be popular and popular all over the country. After all, even those few popular songs haven't reached such a terrifying popularity."
"Let's not talk about this, come on, have another drink."
Hu Youyu twitched the corners of his mouth, trying his best to manage his expression, and wisely changed the subject, "Wang Yan, Red Bean , where are you from? How long do you plan to stay here? "
Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou started chatting with him very cooperatively, and as expected, the topic gradually turned to work, and then once again said that Wang Yan had been traveling for more than seven years. This time, it was Nana and Ma Qiushan who helped to brag...
It was in such a joyful atmosphere that Wang Yan very efficiently processed a lot of Xu Hongdou's photos and many landscape photos, and sent them all to Xu Hongdou, and also sent a lot of photos that they thought were beautiful to Hu Youyu and Nana.
After getting the photos, of course, they had to happily post them on WeChat Moments. Xu Hongdou posted a nine-square grid, and the rest was a bombardment, which was sent to the family group.
She still remembered that she got a small board, printed out the photos herself, pasted them on the small board, and made sticky notes on them, just like in the original drama, which was almost like making a hand diary. The only difference was that there were too many photos, and she spent a long time selecting them.
After finishing these things, she lay down on the bed contentedly, wrapped in a big quilt comfortably, looking at the mosquito and fly repellent sachet sent by someone hanging on the bedside, dazed, maybe she was thinking about someone, maybe she was also thinking about Chen Nanxing, her good sister, anyway, she was thinking about all sorts of random thoughts, and fell asleep unconsciously...
Wang Yan in the next room was bored and wrote big characters for a while, and then leaned on the bedside to read a book with a tablet.
In fact, he likes paper books more, because that feels better. But he doesn't dislike e-books either, after all, it's more convenient, not so big, just in a small space, and can be read anytime, anywhere. Now he is traveling again, and e-books are just e-books.
But many people don't read paper books much, they just buy a lot of books and put them on the bookshelf in a staggered manner, smelling the volatile printing smell, which looks pleasing to the eye. In the past, Wang Yan was such a person...
As if he remembered the past, he smiled for no reason. Seeing that it was almost time, he turned off the lights in the room and went to sleep...
