From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 5 There's a Cat in the Alley
This year's sweet-scented osmanthus trees are affected by the weather, and the flowering time seems to be delayed compared to previous years.

After the golden autumn of October, every time I wake up, I can smell the fragrance coming through the window, and it is a fragrance that is more intense than the other.

The fragrance is refreshing and the fragrance is far away. Its unique fragrance with a touch of sweetness can always bring people to a wonderful world.

So this is why this alley in Laoxin Village is called "Osmanthus Alley" by nearby residents.

In the blink of an eye, the 10-odd days slipped away from me like this, and the days when I was not at work seemed quite unaccustomed. There was no alarm clock or phone, and I could sleep until I woke up naturally every day.

During this period of time, I didn't rush to find a job, but sneaked away at home, relaxed, and thought about some things I didn't want to understand.

The ancients also said: "It is rare to have half a day's leisure in a floating life, and you must sneak away when you should."

Therefore, it can be regarded as taking this opportunity to let my mood settle down, although this reason sounds a bit high-sounding.

Around noon, a text message of "Ding Dong" came from the mobile phone. I opened it and saw that China Merchants Bank had remitted a sum of money to my card. Then I remembered that today is the day when the company's financial staff pays wages, 3006 yuan In RMB, basic salary + commission and deducted operating expenses are not too much and not too little.

The money came at the right time, and it relieved my urgent need. First, I transferred 1200 yuan to the landlord, Aunt Huang, on WeChat, which temporarily got rid of a knot in my heart.

It didn't take long for Aunt Huang to confirm the payment, and replied: "College students nowadays are quite honest, remember to pay on time next time, don't make Auntie wait too long!"

I smiled and got no reply.

During this period of time, I sold this apartment to my intermediary friend and found out that the landlord’s son got married and moved to a new house, so her son handed over the house to her mother for rent. Older people, who have retired from work, collect the rent as a It is a joy of life for middle-aged and elderly people.

It turned out that someone rented this house before and ran away owing hundreds of dollars in utility bills, and the landlord was so sensitive later.

Thinking about it this way, the image of Aunt Huang in my mind is not so mean anymore.

The refrigerator was empty, so I ordered a takeaway, maybe because of the young hostess, I didn't insist on cooking every day.

In the afternoon, I watered the flowers in the yard, and then I came to the computer to make my new resume. I have to have a certain amount of leisure time. If I am free, I am afraid that I will be useless. I don’t think about myself, but also for that Think about five buckets of rice and rent.

"Yunqian, how are you doing recently? Are you... still in City W!"

I was a little surprised that Xia Qing, who hadn't contacted me for a long time but was thinking about it day and night, contacted me at this time.

I sorted out my emotions and came back to: "As always, I'm still... How about you?"

"I didn't expect that, I thought you'd all gone back to your hometown...I've been really busy during this time!"

"Hahaha, it's better to be busy! Besides... you haven't become a big star, so how dare you leave."

"It's just your poor mouth, don't mention it, hey! I'm so worried... Don't make fun of me, you're a big star! I'm going to be exhausted every day... I'm not free at all... The company arranges vocal music training and music theory training , dance training, band running-in, etc., it was about to collapse."

After she finished sending the message, she even posted a crying emoji covering her face. I didn't expect Xia Qing, who looks so cool and very royal, to have such a cute side.

After getting along for so many years, have I really understood her?Perhaps, she is also the same, she has been hiding herself very well, in fact... she is just a girl who is no different from other girls, a woman who will lean on a man's shoulder and cry when she is sad, but she has never been tempted by her, given her It's just the man on the shoulder, I don't think that person should be me.

I can feel Xia Qing's exhaustion at this time, and the pressure of competing in an unfamiliar environment. If you don't work hard, you will be eliminated. Even if you have a little popularity, in a huge media company, if you want to realize your dreams, First of all, we must be able to bring value to the company.

"Don't give up, Xia Qing... I know that being a singer is your dream since childhood. I know you who have rehearsed 100 times and never admit defeat. Now that you have such a good environment to study professionally, I believe you will definitely overcome these hurdles Yes, I'm still waiting to be your audience... Watching your music festival performance or concert, haha... Tickets will definitely be hard to buy by then, don't forget to reserve a best spot for me!"

"Well... thank you! Yunqian!"

Xia Qing said that we will talk next time, the dance class at the company will start soon, so go ahead and get ready.

I haven’t talked with Xia Qing like this for a long time. I don’t know why she contacted me suddenly. I didn’t think too much about it. Maybe it’s just an ordinary reminiscence of an old friend for Xia Qing. I only hope that my words can encourage her Don't give up and get through this training period.

I got a second salary, and even though I lived alone, I decided to treat myself well. I bought a ready-made roast duck and silky chicken from the vegetable market and planned to go back and stew them hot.Carrying a convenience bag and watching the traffic and people coming and going, I passed the small intersection again and walked into the alley of the old new village. Suddenly I saw a milky white cat looking for something to eat in the trash can next to the alley.

This cat is so charming, its fluffy body looks particularly flaccid and soft, like a soft puppet.So I became interested, walked to the side of the kitten, and then stretched out my hand, pretending to meow a few times like a cat.

Who would have thought that this cat seemed to understand human speech, it just rubbed against my hand, looked at me pitifully, as if I was the passerby who could give it a full meal, and immediately thought of this cat Cats are quite spiritual, it is estimated that someone's cat got lost.

I'm not much of a cat lover, on the contrary, I prefer puppies.Generally, if you see a stray cat, you will choose to pass it by and never take care of it.At this time, the cat is really cute and clean, with the air of a cat princess.

For a moment, two bad thoughts came to my mind: "Take it home and raise it! Put it here, it will die if there is nothing to eat" and "Don't mind your own business, it's just a cat, you Even if you are almost unable to support it, you don’t care about it! The cost of raising a cat is very high.”

"Little guy, I hope your master will find you, I'm leaving... I'm sorry! I can't afford you."

I stroked the little white cat's head, and said these indescribable words to an animal that didn't understand my language, or maybe it actually understood.

Because after I walked a few meters, this little white cat actually followed me, I was shocked... This is too spiritual!It won't be fine, will it?

At this very moment, I didn't care about so much anymore, without the slightest hesitation, I returned home with a convenience bag in my left hand and this "little princess" in my right hand, and she lay quietly in my arms like this, Sleeping very peacefully, I walked very slowly, fearing that I might wake her up accidentally.

I think...not only me...she is also tired, and knows that she can't go back to her original home, she just wants to find a kinder family to live in temporarily!
