Change your life: I leave my life to God

"Gudu... Gudu……"

Late at night after midsummer, everything was quiet, and there was a faint light in a restaurant in a northern town. Apart from the owner of the Liao Family Restaurant, there was only one customer in the restaurant. This man was young, and he was already drunk and still drinking heavily. I was drunk. I drank the beer too quickly and couldn't hold back a violent cough.

The time on the perpetual calendar in the store jumped to 11:30. Boss Liao looked at the customers who were drinking alone. Without urging him, he walked into the kitchen and soon brought out two plates of cold dishes and placed them on the guests' tables.

"Young man, drinking alone is boring. Can I drink with you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another man in black walked in from outside the store. It was the last day of the children's summer vacation, and the temperature was still high. This man was actually wearing a long-sleeved windbreaker, trousers, and gloves, covering himself. It was really weird. He raised his eyes and looked at the two people in the store, walked to the empty table next to them and sat down. When business came to the door, Lao Liao hurriedly stood up to greet him and said to the man in the windbreaker:"What do you want to eat?"

"Can you rest here for a while?"The man in the trench coat took off his gloves, his voice was indescribably weird, as if his throat was injured.

"Oh, please!"Although Lao Liao was surprised, he couldn't be driven away.

The drunken young man looked at the extra cold dishes on the table, was silent for a while, raised his head and stretched out his hand to greet Lao Liao:"Boss, I really bother you so late."

Lao Liao smiled:"What's the point of disturbing me? I don't mean to be alone."As he said that, he also sat opposite the young man.

The young man took his unused cup and filled it up for Lao Liao. He carried the bottle himself. The two touched it lightly and took a sip each. In the middle of summer, he took a sip of cold beer. Lao Liao breathed a sigh of relief and made himself sit more stable and comfortable.

Lao Liao picked up a boiled peanut, looked at the young man and asked first:"Young man, you are unfamiliar, you are not a local, are you?""

"no."The young man calmed down the expression on his face a little,"Today I came to attend... my friend's wedding."After that, the young man picked up the bottle and drank again.

"Ex-girlfriend?"Old Liao had a look on his face that he had already guessed.

"puff……"The young man almost squirted onto Lao Liao, and turned his head in panic, but he didn't want to squirt all over the black trench coat of the man in the trench coat beside him.

Lao Liao hurriedly stood up, grabbed a few paper towels and was about to wipe them with the man in the trench coat, but he was held by a strong hand. Lao Liao was startled, and then he was stunned again. The temperature on the other man's hand was frighteningly cold.

"No wonder he was dressed so tightly in such weather."Old Liao was thinking to himself, but he couldn't stop apologizing,"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this young man didn't mean it either.……"

"Brother, I'm really sorry, I... look at this……"The young man was also shocked and quickly stood up to apologize.

"No problem!"The man in the windbreaker retracted his hand magnanimously and lightly wiped the wine stain without taking it seriously.

"So what, brother, why don’t we have a drink together? I beg you, as an apology."The young man said apologetically.

Old Liao nodded:"Yes, we are destined to meet each other. It's so late, so we might as well have something to eat together."As he spoke, he stood up and turned around to get a set of clean tableware. When he turned around, he saw that the man in the trench coat had sat on the side of the young man. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The young man apologized sincerely, but the man in the trench coat said nothing. Fortunately, he didn't look angry, but his eyes were empty, as if he was wandering, and even his expression didn't change.

"wack!"Old Liao and the young man thought this at the same time.

Old Liao raised his glass in time, broke the embarrassment and clinked the glass with the young man, drank it all in one gulp, and said while picking up vegetables:"Today, only the Qin family married their daughters in the town. When the young man heard this

, his face darkened and he nodded.

Old Liao put down his chopsticks and said,"I have seen this girl before. She is very quiet. Her family has opened a kindergarten in the town for more than ten years. When my daughter went to kindergarten, she My mother is the director of the garden. She has three brothers, including a pair of twins. The girl is the third. I heard that both brothers have prospered in big cities. The girl actually studied dancing at a university in Kyoto. A while ago, I She teaches a niece's child in an interest class. She will probably be in charge of the kindergarten in the future. Young man, are you classmates? The young man shook his head:"No, I dropped out of high school, and she and I are... colleagues.""

Lao Liao glanced at the guitar bag next to the young man and didn't say anything more.

The young man smiled bitterly and shook his head. After dropping out of high school in the first year of high school, he taught himself guitar and worked as a bar singer. He participated in many music auditions in Kyoto and Hunan Province, but his results were not good. As expected.

Old Liao raised his wine glass again, and the two drank together. The man in the trench coat still sat still, his back straight on the chair.

Old Liao glanced at the man in the trench coat, and said to the young man who was drinking heavily:" Young man, do you regret dropping out of school?"

"There is nothing to regret. At that time...well...it's hard to describe."The young man leaned back on the chair. At that time, his family suffered a big change. He did not drop out of school voluntarily, but was forced by life.

Lao Liao recalled:"It is a pity not to go to school. After most of my life, it is my school days that I will never forget. of."

The young man raised his head, but couldn't help but remember the embarrassment when he and Qin Jiayi met her parents for the first time.

"Where did you go to school?"

"do what kind of work?"

"Who is at home?"

Questions were asked from my girlfriend's parents one after another. The expressions of the two elders became more and more solemn, but I became more and more unable to resist. Although my girlfriend's hands were still strong and warm, my heart became colder and colder. Following me, Jia Jia Yi really has no future, so she chooses to let go so as not to drag her down.

Thinking of this, the young man started to drink heavily again.

Old Liao guarded the small restaurant alone, and it was rare to have anyone to drink and chat with him, although one behaved strangely and said nothing. , and the other one was immersed in sadness and confusion and couldn't extricate himself. Lao Liao was still talking enthusiastically:"Actually, what I envy most are people like you who have special talents, such as music, painting, and dancing. Ordinary people can only envy you." share.

The young man chuckled:"Brother, what you can't get is always the best. Now I envy those ordinary people who go to school, work, get married and have children.""

If I can do this, maybe I will be recognized by Jiayi's parents. Thinking of the enthusiastic and sunny groom and the smiling bride at today's wedding, the young man sighed and couldn't help but take another sip of beer.

Lao Liao turned to look at the man in the trench coat and asked tentatively:"This brother is quite unfamiliar, he's not from our town, right?"

The man in the windbreaker said:"My name is Mingyun."

"Good luck?"Lao Liao listened to the man in the trench coat's nonsensical answer and searched his memory:"This surname is very rare. There seems to be no one with the surname Ming in the town?"

The young man also echoed:"So far, I only know one celebrity whose surname is Ming, and I don't know whether it is his stage name or his real name."

Old Liao laughed and clinked glasses with the young man.

After a few glasses of wine, they got acquainted with each other. Old Liao took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the photo album and handed it to the young man:"Here, these are the photos of my wife and daughter. My daughter goes to Lianshi No. 1 Middle School."

My daughter is his pride, but it's a pity that she seems to have no artistic talent just like him.

The young man tried his best to open his sleepy eyes, and at a glance he saw the graceful young girl on the screen. The girl's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Lao Liao, and her face was The childish smile was very healing. After staring for a while, a smile appeared on the young man's face. The young man made several strokes in succession, and there were almost all photos of Lao Liao's family, including young parents and a family. Family photos, the one with the largest number of people even has twenty or thirty people. Lao Liao, who is much younger than now, is standing on the edge of the crowd, with her daughter-in-law and daughter next to her. The same thing is that in every photo, everyone is smiling..

The young man was filled with envy:"Brother, you are very happy.

Lao Liao smiled complacently:"It's okay, it's okay.""

The young man continued to scroll, and suddenly his eyes froze. An old photo with a sense of age appeared on the screen. In it, there were seven or eight young boys and girls, all wearing blue and white school uniforms, grinning happily with bared teeth.

"Huh? Brother, what is this?"

Lao Liao glanced over, with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes:"Oh, it's a photo of me in high school. Well, this is me. It was not as convenient as it is now, and even mobile phones were rare. This photo was taken with a camera."

Lao Liao raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp:"At that time, we got along like brothers and did many ridiculous things together. However, after graduation, we saw each other less and less and contacted each other less and less. These people have also changed. The young man stared at the photo and looked up at Lao Liao from time to time:"Brother, this is you, you were much more handsome when you were young than you are now!""

"Hahaha……"Lao Liao laughed loudly when he heard this, and the flesh on his face trembled,"I haven't exercised since I graduated from college, and I gained weight even more after getting married. I was the school boy with perfect facial features and body." The young man continued to flip through the photos. In the photo, the old man Liao has a childish and ridiculous beard and a straight head, and his image is really unflattering.

Suddenly, the young man stopped his hand and was dumbfounded when he saw the handsome face in his graduation photo, Brother Liao, who had shaved off his beard and changed his hairstyle.

Lao Liao also noticed the young man's shock and seemed quite proud:"Look, I'm not boasting. Brother, you don't know how many female classmates asked me for their QQ numbers when they graduated from high school. Everyone in the graduation books they prepared If I had to write, everyone in the next class also asked me to write, and my hands were sore from writing."

The young man stretched out his thumb towards Lao Liao and sighed:"What a pity, I don't have such an experience." The young man smiled bitterly, although He also went to high school, but dropped out due to family changes. In addition, he had a withdrawn personality when he was young, and his appearance was too ordinary. He was always alone. He never made friends with any of his male classmates, let alone his female classmates.

Lao Liao showed off:"Life is long, but there are definitely not many memories worth recalling slowly."

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but recall every bit of time he and Qin Jiayi were together. He played the guitar and sang, and Qin Jiayi was there. Dancing aside, the images that come to mind are intoxicating.

Can he forget it? It took him two years to forget it!

The young man, whose eyes were red again, raised the wine bottle:"Brother, what you said is interesting. Come on, let's have a drink for this!""

"Come on, cheers!"Old Liao was also drunk and would not refuse anyone who came. The more they drank, the more enjoyable they became. At Lao Liao's request, the young man sang a few songs from Lao Liao's era a cappella. Although he was drunk, the young man's singing still impressed Lao Liao. He was amazed and praised that the singing was as good as the original song.

The young man shook his head slightly. He had heard this from many people, including audition judges, ex-girlfriends, bosses and guests at the bar. Although he was self-taught, he was also a true Those who have studied singing skills do have the so-called voice talent. No matter whether it is a new or old song, as long as it is widely sung, he is willing to learn and imitate it, but he has never achieved success in a broad sense.

Thinking of this, the young man is quite uninterested.

However, Lao Liao howled a few words at the top of his lungs. His voice was unique and weird, just like Ming Yun, and the high notes were even more destructive. Lao Liao smiled sheepishly:"I had a problem with my nose when I was a kid. At that time, I just thought it was... My rhinitis didn't go away until I had polyp surgery after graduating from high school. I don't know if it was because of my habits over the years that I always had this weird accent when I spoke."

The young man clinked glasses with Lao Liao, and they drank it all in one gulp.

While watching the young man pour the wine for himself, Lao Liao continued:"I don't sing well because of this. I didn't like singing when I was young. When I first started working, In the past, I was just sitting around in KTV, but I really like listening to music, but I really can’t appreciate many of the songs on the charts now, and they are not as good as the ones that became popular in short videos."

The young man feels the same way. He is also not interested in many new songs today, but he never tires of listening to those classic old songs. For this reason, he even went back to the old songs from the 1980s or even earlier. He listened to and sang them many late nights. He listened to these songs until he fell asleep. People around him joked that his failure was because he was out of touch with society and could not learn the tunes that young people in the new era like.

"Your singing is really nice, but now is the era of great entertainment. Singing is so good. It’s not that easy to get ahead just by being able to sing."

The young man suddenly raised his head and smiled,"I used to think of becoming a singer as a dream, but now I feel that I am just an ordinary or even mediocre ordinary person. How easy is it to reach heaven in one step? That's it."

Lao Liao patted the young man's arm comfortingly and raised the cup.

The young man drank all the beer in the bottle, put down the empty bottle and opened another bottle, filling it up for Lao Liao first.

Lao Liao was also a little drunk and said:"Ordinary people also have dreams. I also imagined what it would be like if I were a singer. I would be sought after by thousands of fans, earn a lot of money, show my personality without reservation, sing and act well, and then have a scandal with a female star. Something like that, haha……"

"In fact, you don’t have to be a big star, you just need to sing a song in front of people and win a lot of applause! You don’t know, my daughter’s school held a party, the Qin family’s kindergarten, and the school invited parents to perform on stage. I made my daughter feel like an adult that time!"

The young man smiled knowingly, grabbed a handful of peanuts, and said calmly while eating:"Now I look forward to a life like yours, big brother, where you have family, memories, ordinary, leisurely and contented life."

"What are you so proud of? People live through suffering, and this is the best we can do to enjoy suffering."Lao Liao laughed at himself,"Experts are not saying that the more you like to recall the past, the more failed you are in reality.

The young man finally laughed out loud:"Haha... That's because they are jealous."……"

"That's true! Hahaha……"Old Liao also burst into laughter

"Want to change your life?"

A voice suddenly broke into the laughter. Old Liao and the young man were startled, and at the same time they turned to look at the man in the trench coat.

The man in the trench coat said seriously:"Since you two are looking forward to and envying each other's life, then, do you want to trade lives? ?"
