Chapter 29 Swapping Guitars
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, many shops have been closed.Chen Haoran picked up his helmet and slipped out while his parents fried lotus root boxes.

A black jacket with a black motorcycle is not only stylish but also cool.

Although from time to time someone would cast strange glances at him, but he ignored it completely and continued to walk through the streets and alleys in his own way, and ran to the east campus of City X University without knowing it.

He misses Tang Xiaoya very much, and wants to be able to ride with her and go crazy with her one day.

"My son went out on a motorcycle again, do you care or not?"

"It's okay, the young man is full of firepower, not cold."

"It's all indulged by you. It's simply lawless. What if I get old cold legs? It's true that no one, old or young, can make me worry."

Chen Jiandong smiled without saying a word, and continued to pull the horizontal bar in the yard.

He was a soldier, so he was no stranger to such things.

When I was a soldier, I would stand in the half-meter-high snow for hours at a time, and I never thought it was a big deal.

Pedestrian street, guitar monopoly.

As soon as Chen Haoran entered the door, he was attracted by an orange-red guitar.

He put the helmet on the sofa, and carefully took it off the wall, it felt like fire, very beautiful.He remembered that the down jacket Tang Xiaoya wore when he went to H City a few days ago was also the same color.

"This is a folk guitar, the sound is very good, if you like it, you can try it."

A middle-aged man with a ponytail walked towards Chen Haoran and looked at him with a smile.

Chen Haoran knows little about guitars.He doesn't know what a good tone is, he only likes it because Tang Xiaoya likes it, a typical Aiwujiwu.

"Can girls use this?"

"Of course, it's 41 inches. It's unisex. It has a better resonance and a beautiful color, like kapok."

"Well, it's really beautiful, how much is it?"

"1529, no bargaining. If you buy a guitar from me, you can get a lesson package. As long as I open the door, you can come anytime, no time limit."

"That's all. If someone asks about the price in the future, please just say it's 529, okay?"

"Is it for your girlfriend?"

Chen Haoran was a little embarrassed when the shop owner said it out, and he didn't hold back and laughed along with it.

After leaving the guitar shop, Chen Haoran ran all the way back to the ancient city garden.He thought his parents had gone to the supermarket to buy ingredients, so he swaggered in with his guitar in hand, his face was filled with happiness.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Haoran was startled by his father's cry.He turned around hastily and gave his father a silly smile to ease the embarrassment.

"A new guitar?"

Chen Haoran put away his smile, nodded, and stood there obediently waiting to be punished.

"Don't you have one at home?"

"I borrowed it from a classmate, and it was very easy to use. I didn't want to return it, so I thought about buying another one and paying it back."

When Chen Jiandong saw his son's expression, he knew that he would not be an ordinary classmate. He faltered when he spoke, with a half-smile and a little embarrassment.

"Is it a female classmate? Where is home?"

"City H."

"It's okay. It takes 4 hours to drive there. It's not too far. Is the money in the card still enough? Can I transfer some more to you?"

"It's okay, almost."

"Don't run around in a while, stay at home honestly, your mother said to go out to eat tonight, the restaurant has been booked."

"Oh, got it."

Seeing that his father had gone to the front yard, Chen Haoran let out a long sigh of relief, and hurried to his room.Unexpectedly, before entering the room, Chen Jiandong suddenly yelled at Chen Haoran, "When you are free someday, bring your classmates to play."

Chen Haoran was dumbfounded when he heard it. He didn't understand what his father meant, but after a pause for a few seconds, he smiled and went into the room with his new guitar.

City H, Garden District.

Tang Xiaoya was being reprimanded by her mother. She lowered her head and sat on the sofa, not daring to move, looking completely pitiful.

"I'm really pissed off. I don't discuss such a big matter with my parents. It's too courageous."

"Mom, don't quarrel with my sister."

Tang Xiaofeng tugged at Li Lifen's clothes, rambling about and acting coquettishly.

"There are so many people who study computers, it will be a problem to find a job after graduation. Can your dad and I support you forever?"

Tang Xiaoya's tears were falling down, she was very sad, she felt so pitiful that she didn't even have the right to choose.After finally getting to university, I thought everything would be fine, but it turned out to be like this.

"You are not yet 18 years old, don't feel that your wings are hardened and you don't have to listen to your parents. Let me tell you, there will always be times when you regret it in the future."

Li Lifen took a peach stick from the TV cabinet and put it on the table, and said angrily, "Do you know what's wrong? Do you want to change your major?"

Tang Xiaoya didn't speak, she stood up slowly, took the peach stick from the table, and went to kneel directly, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

"Okay, do you want to kneel? Then you should kneel properly."

Li Lifen was so angry that she dragged her son out the door.Tang Xiaofeng looked back at his sister three times a step at a time, and wept as soon as he curled his mouth.

The orange cat rushed to the table with a "meow", lying there staring at Tang Xiaoya motionlessly.

Two hours passed, and Tang Xiaoya's legs kept shaking.She clutched her stomach, bent over, and moaned softly.The pain during her menstrual period was far more unbearable than kneeling, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, unwilling to compromise with her mother.

After six o'clock in the evening, Tang Guodong came back from get off work.

"Xiaoya, Dad is back."

"Xiaofeng, what are you doing? Why don't you open the door for Dad?"

Seeing that no one responded, Tang Guodong pushed open the big iron gate.

Unexpectedly, when she came in, she saw her daughter kneeling on a peach stick. She was so distressed that she hurried to help her, but Tang Xiaoya was very stubborn and refused to get up.

This made Tang Guodong so anxious that he quickly called his wife to ask why.

Ten minutes later, Li Lifen came back aggressively with her son, and said, "Do whatever you want, I won't care about you anymore, so I went to the kitchen to cook.

With the support of her father, Tang Xiaoya limped back to her room.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Tang Xiaoya's cell phone rang.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

As soon as Chen Haoran heard the babyish voice, he knew that the person answering the phone must be Tang Xiaoya's younger brother.

"Kid, who are you?"

"My name is Tang Xiaofeng. I am six years old. What's your name?"

"My name is Chen Haoran, where is your sister?"

"My sister has a stomachache and is sleeping."

"Oh, then let your sister sleep, don't disturb her, and see you Xiaofeng."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Haoran sent a message to Tang Xiaoya, telling her that today is his birthday.

His only birthday wish is that Tang Xiaoya agrees to exchange guitars with him.Although he has not received a reply yet, in Chen Haoran's heart, he has already given Tang Xiaoya's old guitar as a gift to himself.

He took out two small jade gourds from his pocket, looked at the two guitars, one black and one red on the bed, and said in his heart, "The color of kapok is still beautiful, you will definitely like it."

After ten o'clock at night, Chen Haoran finally waited for Tang Xiaoya's reply.

"Happy birthday, all wishes come true."

"Thank you, little fairy."

"I'm sleepy, you should go to bed early too, good night."

"OK, good night."

Chen Haoran was extremely excited when his wish came true.

With Tang Xiaoya's black guitar in his arms, he repeatedly looked at the chat records on his mobile phone, staying up all night with excitement.
