Second Piano Concerto

Tan Shuo didn't take a rest until he finished his work in the store and finished his dinner.The amount of information today is a bit large, and now he has a chance to digest it.While thinking about it, he reached into his trouser pocket for a cigarette, but when he took it out, he found that the cigarette case was empty. There was only half a pack of cigarettes left. I didn't realize it was all drawn.Tan Shuo was stunned for a moment, then he crushed the empty cigarette case and wanted to throw it away.

Qin Haiou saw his movements from the side, got up and walked out of the yard: "I'll buy it for you."

After he finished speaking, the rest of the people in the courtyard suddenly fell silent.

At this time, it was completely dark, and it was already past the meal time of normal people, but the bosses and guys on both sides of the inn and rice noodle shop had just finished their busy day, and they were gathering in the courtyard of the inn, eating watermelon and gossiping .Seeing Qin Haiou actively buying cigarettes for Tan Shuo, Amao immediately felt a strong sense of crisis. It was not right to eat half a piece of watermelon, but he was reluctant to put it down. He hesitated whether he should compete with Qin Haiou for the boss who ran errands. Chance.He used to do such small things, but now Brother Qin can not only help with the cooking, but also buy cigarettes. Amao can't help but worry that his position as a buddy will soon be lost.

Zhuzhu saw Qin Haiou go to buy cigarettes for Tan Shuo, her eyes almost popped out, and she elbowed Tan Shuo: "What's going on?!"

Before Tan Shuo opened his mouth, Qin Haiou, who was about to walk to the gate of the courtyard, came back again, looked at Tan Shuo and asked, "What kind of cigarettes are you smoking?"

Zhuzhu said: "Xiao Qin, don't worry about him, he has arms and legs, let him buy them himself!"

Tan Shuo opened his mouth and said, "China."

Qin Haiou nodded and was about to leave again. Zhuzhu was in a hurry, and pulled him back regardless of the watermelon juice in his hand: "You really believe what he says! He smokes Honghe, five yuan A bag of money!"

Qin Haiou looked at her and then at Tan Shuo, feeling a little confused.

Tan Shuo smiled and said, "Red River, it's the Red River."

Only then did Zhuzhu let Qin Haiou go.She didn't forget the topic just now, so she asked Tan Shuo what was going on.Tan Shuo gnawed on the watermelon without raising his head: "Hehe, my brother is so charming!"

Zhuzhu is serious: "What kind of conspiracy do you have!"

Tan Shuo waved the melon rind in his hand to protest: "Why do you always suspect innocent people! He respects the old, I love the young, and jointly build a harmonious society. What's wrong?"

Zhuzhu said: "It is true that there is respect for the elderly, but I did not see it when I loved the young."

Tan Shuo said: "I am such a low-key person, can you see it?"

Zhu Zhu said: "Xiao Qin is a heartless kid, don't keep teasing him. He's not like you, you are an old fritter who has been polluted for many years."

Tan Shuo stared: "Hey, hey! Civilized discussions are welcome, and personal attacks are declined! What he said sounds good because he has not been polluted, but when he says it badly, he is like a flower in a greenhouse. If you are not careful, you have to learn to be careful, otherwise you will be punished in the future. People sold it and helped count the money.”

Zhuzhu refused to accept and was about to refute, but Qin Haiou had already bought the cigarettes.He may not be sure about what kind of cigarettes Tan Shuo is smoking, and finally bought a pack of Zhonghua and Honghe, and insisted on not wanting Tan Shuo's money.

Tan Shuo happily took the cigarette, first opened the pack of Zhonghua and took out one, proudly said to Zhuzhu: "Look, this is the negative teaching material for counting money."

Zhuzhu couldn't stand it anymore, so she turned around and went into the house to watch TV.

Qin Haiou naturally didn't know what they were talking about.He felt that Tan Shuo was kind to him, so he also wanted to repay Tan Shuo, helping the cook and buying cigarettes. His idea was actually very simple.

Tan Shuo lit up his cigarette and took two satisfied puffs.Qin Haiou asked: "Tomorrow I want to borrow the sheet music of 'La Er', can I?"

Knowing that he wanted to bring the score to the piano room for reference during practice, Tan Shuo said, "Go get it now, I'm going to bed tomorrow morning." It won’t lock the door, so you can find what you want to see in the future.”

Qin Haiou was very happy to hear what he said, and immediately stood up and looked at him.

Tan Shuo said: "Go and get it, I'll finish this one."

Qin Haiou went to the rice noodle shop alone, and came back with the score within 2 minutes.After the two chatted for a few more words, Qin Haiou went upstairs.

At this time, the courtyard of the inn was much quieter.Seeing that Amao seemed to be out of spirits, Tan Shuo told him to go home early.But Amao was terrified when he heard this, and asked cautiously: "Then, will I come to work tomorrow?"

Tan Shuo asked strangely, "Don't you want to pick up girls if you don't go to work?"

Amao was speechless with a bitter face.He was already very nervous when he saw Qin Haiou buying cigarettes for Tan Shuo before, and later saw that Tan Shuo agreed to Qin Haiou's free access to the room on the second floor of the rice noodle shop, and he was even more uncertain.You must know that the room is the boss's private place, and it is quite a mysterious place in Amao's eyes. He has been with the boss for so many years but failed to get permission to go in and have a look. I'm afraid that the boss will change the guy on the spur of the moment and tell him that he doesn't have to come to work tomorrow.

Amao knew Tan Shuo's temper well, so he struggled for a while and decided to ask clearly: "Boss, are you planning to add staff to the store?"

Tan Shuo took a few glances at him with a cigarette in his mouth, and finally understood what he was worried about. He took down the cigarette and cursed: "Did you eat too much watermelon today, and your brain is full of water? I hired Xiao Qin as a Dude, you pay his salary? I can’t afford to sell you! If you don’t go back to sleep, you won’t be here tomorrow.”

When Amao heard this, he felt relieved, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, then I'm leaving! Goodbye, boss, good night, boss!" After speaking, he disappeared.

Tan Shuo laughed and continued to smoke his own cigarette. At the same time, remembering that he hadn't looked at his phone all afternoon, he turned on the screen of the phone and glanced at it casually.

There was an unread message displayed on the screen, which was sent by Liu Yang: Come when you are convenient, don't let the seagull know.

Tan Shuo put the phone back in his pocket.It seems that this fulfilling day is not over yet.He waited in the yard for a while, and sure enough, he saw Qin Haiou coming downstairs after changing into his sportswear. He greeted him first, then made preparations and ran out briskly.

Seeing that he had run away, Tan Shuo stubbed out the cigarette butt, walked out of the courtyard, and walked slowly towards Liu An.

Liu An sells coffee during the day and mainly drinks at night.When Tan Shuo came to the store, there were not many customers. Liu Yang was making a cocktail at the bar, and when he saw him coming, he signaled him to wait in the backyard.

As soon as Tan Shuo stood in the backyard for a while, Liu Yang told him what he had to do and rushed over. When he saw him, he was not in a hurry to speak. He first led him to the piano room, and then closed the door of the piano room. Come and look at him.

Tan Shuo said: "Can you stop making it look like an underground worker?"

Liu Yang sat down on the piano bench: "Don't deny it, you and I are both underground workers, and I just found out today that you have been lurking much longer than me."

Tan Shuo smiled: "When did you and Xiao Qin get connected?"

Liu Yang began to tell Qin Haiou what happened after he recognized Qin Haiou. When Qin Haiou hurt his hand while chopping vegetables, he finally vented the resentment he had borne for many days, and finally asked worriedly: "Who are you?" Music student, in your opinion, is his condition serious?"

Tan Shuo thought for a while: "If what he said today is true, it is indeed a bit serious."

Liu Yang frowned: "Then what should we do? Is there any way to make him better?"

Tan Shuo said: "No."

"Really? Think again!" Liu Yang refused to give up.After Tan Shuo and Qin Haiou left today, she thought about it for a long time alone, and searched for relevant information on the Internet, but she couldn't find any useful information.Although she likes classical music very much, the problems Qin Haiou faces seem to be in the professional category, and Liu Yang is powerless to provide him with more help, either psychologically or musically.So she decided to discuss with Tan Shuo, she wanted to hear the opinions of professionals, since Tan Shuo also studied music, maybe he could see the crux of Qin Haiou's problem and find a way to help Qin Haiou recover.

"Even a psychiatrist doesn't work, what can I think of?" But Tan Shuo said, "But I'm still very moved to see how much you admire my IQ."

Liu Yang stopped talking.She was disappointed, but more frustrated.After getting along these days, Qin Haiou is no longer an idol in the spotlight in her eyes.They have become good friends.Now that she knew he was in trouble, she was worrying about him from the perspective of a friend.She thinks that Qin Haiou is a very good person. Even if his musical achievements and talents are not discussed, he still has many valuable qualities in him.She really wanted to help him.

She was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Then what should I do now? What else can I do for him?"

"You don't have to do anything," Tan Shuo said, "You have already done a good job. You let him come here to play the piano, this is the best help."

Liu Yang raised his head to look at him.Tan Shuo's expression was very calm, and he didn't show much concern, but his words did give Liu Yang a lot of comfort.Liu Yang saw that he said he had no choice, but his attitude remained calm as usual, and his heart gradually settled down.After all, it is still too early to draw conclusions. She should do what she can first, and then slowly find a way to help Qin Haiou.

Thinking of this, she felt a little more relaxed.At this time, Tan Shuo said again: "I want to pick a few of the box of CDs you showed off during the day and take them home to listen to."

Liu Yang said: "Why do you finally remember to make up lessons now?" As he spoke, he thought of an important question that was left behind during the morning conversation, "Since you are also a music student and you know so much, why don't you know Qin Haiou? But it was awarded ten years ago!"

Liu Yang's implication is that even if Tan Shuo missed the news of Qin Haiou's award at the beginning, Qin Haiou has been so active in these years, and anyone who pays a little attention to the music circle may learn about his achievements through various channels. But Tan Shuo didn't know anything about him until today, which is really incredible.

But Tan Shuo said calmly: "Brother has not been in the Jianghu for many years, and he has long since stopped caring about these Jianghu affairs. The worldly masters who have retired to the countryside are talking about nothing."

Liu Yang asked again: "Then are you still writing music?"

Tan Shuo said: "Occasionally write and write for self-entertainment."

Liu Yang was skeptical, and wanted to ask again, but suddenly thought that if Tan Shuo gave up composing music and changed his career to selling rice noodles because the works he wrote were not good and unpopular, wouldn’t it be like poking his sore spot if he continued to ask?Although she was not sure whether her guess was correct, but thinking of the possibility, Liu Yang decided not to ask any more questions for now.

She quickly brought Qin Haiou's CD and put it on the piano bench for Tan Shuo to choose.Some of these CDs are large-scale piano works recorded by Qin Haiou, and some are collections of chamber music or piano pieces.Tan Shuo had already browsed through it in the morning, so he didn't read much at this time, and quickly picked out a few, piled them up and held them in his hand.

Liu Yang warned: "Don't break it."

Tan Shuo said: "You can see it every day, if it breaks, let him give you another set."

Liu Yang said: "Anyway, you are not the one to pay, no wonder you said it generously."

Tan Shuo said: "I don't have any other skills, but borrowing flowers to present Buddha is the most skillful technique."

Liu Yang laughed.
