Chapter 7
Listening to people's discussions, Yan Erhe didn't know what to think, it was a mixed feeling, and he was a little confused.

Then I remembered, and hurriedly took it all the way. A tin can that was bigger than a can was placed in front of my nephew—the can was used to hold earthworms when fishing, and one can was used for multiple purposes.

Unexpectedly, this move immediately aroused even greater discussion.

"What a showman! Such a child?"

"Is it your child? It's too young..."

"It doesn't look like it. This young man is a bit tender, and he doesn't look like someone with such a big child..."

"Don't abduct the child?"

"Then why don't you call the police? The Public Security Bureau is opposite..."

Yan Erhe panicked: "No, no, this is my nephew, my own nephew, I really didn't kidnap the child."

Being babbled by a group of people, he, who had never experienced it before, suddenly became confused, didn't know what to say, and could only argue that he was not a kidnapper.

Don’t dare to spread the reputation of abducting children, or you will be wronged if you are beaten to death—it’s not uncommon to be beaten to death for doing bad things these days, don’t look at the gate of the Public Security Bureau, young and old are emotionally swarming up, and the police may not be able to stop it ah!

Yan Changqing originally focused on the erhu, but now his voice was so loud that he couldn't play the erhu, so he had to explain himself: "Everyone, uncles, aunts, grandparents, this is my second uncle, and we came to perform in Taoshu Township. He didn't kidnap and traffic me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have run to the gate of the Public Security Bureau, would you?”

One thing to say, one thing to think about it, it should be that he kidnapped the second uncle and brought him here.

The child's crisp voice is also clear, and the reliability is as high as 80.00%.

So the discussion started again: "Are you acting at such a young age?"

Yan Changqing answered: "Hurry up and start school to earn tuition! Auntie, look at my erhu, if I don't hurry up to perform, I will be ruined."

"It's not auntie, I have to call it grandma!" The aunt who was called auntie laughed. She will be an auntie after her age. Nowadays, young people get married early, and she probably has grandchildren in her family.

While grinning, she fumbled in her pocket. After fumbling for a long time, she found a few cents, took out a dime, thought for a while, took another five-cent coin, and wrapped it in a ten-cent note. The five-cent coin was carefully placed in the tin jar.

"Thank you grandma, I'll play you another song." Yan Changqing changed his words quickly.

Anyway, here we come.

Radu pulled.

It's nothing to eat meat!
At least these people were more kind and cheerful than some of the foremen and foremen in his previous life.

After pondering for a while, Yan Changqing decided to play a song that no one else had heard.

Anyway, there are a lot of tunes in my memory, so let's just play them to earn some meat money.

Of course, Yan Changqing didn't intend to plagiarize other people's songs, but just played on the street, and when the song is over, who will remember it?
Still imagine that he is at the seaside, and the sound of the discussion in his ears is the sound of sea wind and waves-if he thinks of being stared at by many people, he really can't continue playing.

Then concentrate on the erhu with all your heart.

let's go……

……

Yan Erhe stood aside stupidly.

He looked at the enthusiastic aunt who introduced it to others, saying that it was a child from the countryside selling handicrafts to earn tuition fees. He saw many people listening carefully and watching...

I was even more dumbfounded when I saw that someone took out one cent, two cents, five cents, and even fifty cents.

Can you really make money?

……

In fact, the current prices look quite unscientific in the future.

It is normal for green vegetables in the countryside to cost a dime or a dozen catties, but the price of industrial products is ridiculously high, otherwise Yan Erhe would not take a tin can as a treasure.

The street collects everything that is broken, a glass wine bottle is worth a few cents, and the better ones cost a few cents.

Broken shoe soles, rotten plastic film, broken glass, etc., as long as they are produced by factories, they can be sold for money.

The cheapest is what can be grown in the field, except for grain—but after the grain is grown, you have to pay public grain, and there are things like agricultural taxes.In the end, only a small part of the food can be left, or even none.

It is very difficult for rural people to make money. They have no connections, no knowledge, and no strength.

Just like Yan Erhe, if you tell him that you can go to the provincial capital hundreds of miles away, buy some electronic products, or wholesale some nice clothes, and you can make a lot of money when you come back, he doesn't believe it at all.

If you let him go bankrupt and get some money to start a business, he will fight you with his life.

Because the gate of the clothing market in the county where he is now is the furthest place he has ever been, and everything on the street is his greatest insight.

He watched the car coming out of the County Public Security Bureau. It was a jeep [-] brought down by the army. It consumes [-] liters of fuel per [-] kilometers plus two or three boys—it’s not good to drive for a long time. No, someone has to push.

Just this broken car, Yan Erhe couldn't wait to follow it and smell the exhaust.

With this knowledge, can he figure out what a big city in the distance looks like, and can he think of any way to do business?

Just like Yan Changqing who went to the south to work in the south wearing a padded jacket and carrying a quilt.

At that time, he never expected that when he got out of the car, he would see someone wearing short sleeves.

And the little girl went out with her trousers on, he was too embarrassed to look away...

……

But at this moment, Yan Changqing was suddenly a little unhappy. He stopped holding the erhu, looked at the crowd around him, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but changed to a new song. A more cheerful tune was played.

A very suitable song for Chinese New Year: Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations...

What he wanted to say just now is that we are here as performers. We can eat at home and go fishing in the river. It's not as pitiful as you think.If you think Erhu sounds good and give money, we will definitely appreciate it, but if you treat us as beggars, we will not thank you for giving money.

The reason why he didn't say it was because he remembered what a classmate said in his previous life.

It’s what the classmate in the town who made clothes at home said: “Sometimes what we think is very important, when we look back, it’s actually just what we think. It’s like we think that something hurts our self-esteem. If we change our minds, it may not be true. , and no one else would think so."

"Because we are all from poor families, we have nothing but poverty, and that bit of self-esteem is our last thing, so it is very important to look at, and sometimes it is not even a matter of self-esteem at all, and it has to be involved. "

Yan Changqing thinks it is suitable for the current scene.

The people in front of me are all with good intentions. It is really unnecessary to worry about whether they are kind and enthusiastic or sympathetic.

If there is anything else I can do, then just play a song of happy blessings to make everyone feel better.

Although the sound quality of the erhu is not good, Yan Changqing feels that everyone can understand what he means.

Didn't hear the people around obviously happy!
Someone else was telling Yan Erhe: "Put the money in later, don't let thieves touch it, and let the children go to school as soon as school starts..."

To be honest, it's very heartwarming.

Originally, Yan Changqing had prepared some backups, for example, if he couldn’t even make money for his hard work, he would play a few sad and sad songs, such as "Song in Sickness", to gain some sympathy .

Seems completely unnecessary now!
……

"Young man, put the money away and don't put it outside." Someone beside him reminded Yan Erhe.

Yan Erhe woke up like a dream, quickly poured out the money in the small tin jar, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket indiscriminately.

Yan Changqing didn't pay attention to these, he felt a little bit high.

It is wise to give up those miserable tunes. Playing these cheerful tunes will not only make the listeners feel good, but also the performers will feel particularly good.

As soon as the tune changed, an aunt shouted: "Hey, I know this. I heard my mother talk about the past."

Yan Changqing's song library is still very rich. He joined the factory when he first worked. At that time, there was no mobile phone or other entertainment. He was tired during the day and fell asleep at night.After I gradually got used to it, I bought a tape recorder and put it in the dormitory.

So listening to music has become everyone's entertainment before going to bed.

The bootleg tapes on the street were not expensive. Although it was necessary to turn on the tape recorder from time to time to take out the tape and rewind it, in the eyes of the people at that time, it was not a big deal at all.

Buying tapes is only for cheap, and they don’t care about researching what is popular, anything is fine, even operas are included.

There is basically no choice of what song to listen to. In short, after listening to one tape, turn it over and listen to the other side. There are only so many tapes. When you hear a note over and over again, you will immediately know what song it is.

So after a while, someone said again: "Hey, I know this too. It's the waves of the Honghu Lake, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Someone immediately echoed.

……

In the era of lack of entertainment, it makes people feel happy to hear familiar songs replaced by musical instruments on the street.

When the sun was high and seeing the onlookers gradually disperse, Yan Changqing immediately released the big move that he had prepared a long time ago.

I vaguely dreamed like I had seen it before, and the waves in my heart appeared...

Those who have never experienced it will never understand how popular the Legend of the Condor Heroes is now.

As a result, the first sentence of the theme song "Iron Blood and Loyal Heart" sounded from the erhu, and those who originally wanted to leave couldn't move at all, and those who were just passing by didn't want to come, and couldn't help but come over.
Yan Erhe started to feel dizzy again.

He had already poured out the money in the tin jar twice. He thought it would be over soon, but he didn't expect his nephew to change the tune, and people gathered around again.

When the iron blood loyalty was over, there were still people yelling to do it again.

Combined with the reactions of the previous few songs, Yan Changqing suddenly felt that he had found the trick - he shouldn't play unfamiliar songs. Although they will become popular in the future, everyone's reaction is still not as good as the familiar ones now.

A middle-aged man shouted: "Little friend, can you know how to reflect the moon in the second spring?"

Yan Changqing shook his head: "That's too difficult, I can't do it yet."

In fact, it's a fake, and now everyone is listening to a bag of joy, and he has earned several buckets of gold. There is nothing wrong with the small tin pot saying it is a small bucket, anyway, no one came to defend him.

As a qualified street performer, Yan Changqing would never do anything to spoil the interest of the audience.

It's better to be iron-blooded and loyal, and it happens that there are still people asking for it.

Then, do it again.

After another time, some people shouted to do it again.

This time, not only was someone shouting, but they were also shouting after stuffing money into a tin can.

So again.

Over and over again, this song alone was played seven or eight times, and people gradually began to disperse after twelve o'clock.

The harvest is really not small.
