But unwilling to see the scenery

After Jiang Nuo came out from the cubicle to dry his hair, Yan Ruoyu hadn't washed it yet.This bathhouse specially opened for migrant workers charges by the number of visits. Jiang Nuo didn't urge or knock on the door, just sat in the place near Yan Ruoyu's cubicle and waited.

Idle is also idle, he took out his mobile phone to scan various information, and as soon as the homepage was updated, a new Weibo of Lin Huai just popped up.It turned out that the event he was invited to participate in was TEDx. After taking the stage, he briefly summarized the development of Chinese rap, focusing on the styles that young people like now, such as nonsensical comedy rap and mumblerap with a vague singing voice, which pays more attention to the overall sense of hearing than the content of lyrics new wave.

The speech lasted 10 minutes. Lin Huai was well prepared and organized, and he was still very fluent without a teleprompter.At the end of the speech, it is inevitable to sublimate the theme and value. Lin Huai's expression is still colloquial. He mentioned that there is no music form that has unlimited possibilities like rap. As long as you are willing to speak, you can eat this bowl of rice.

He stared at the camera and encouraged everyone who loves rap culture: "If you are still hesitating, then go and listen to my latest comedy rap songs. I can get along in this circle by singing like this, why don't you Yes. Believe in yourself, if you want to be a rapper, you can be a rapper."

Lin Huai held the microphone crookedly throughout his speech and received thunderous applause, and a bullet screen flew by, saying that there was nothing wrong with the content of Lin Huai's speech, but looking at his posture, I was really afraid that he would suddenly be unable to connect and start rap while he was speaking.

Jiang Nuo was amused by the following emoji offering his knees, and before he could exit in time, the Weibo app automatically played another hip-hop-related video.

It was a talk show in the United States. Coincidentally, the person being interviewed happened to be Dove, whom Lin Huai admired so much.

Dove, whose real name is Song Zhou, comes from a wealthy family and is extremely talented. He has just been admitted to an Ivy League college in New York, and he is the only Asian who has received a full scholarship.

The elders in the world are the same, and the American host couldn't help but ask why this student who has grown up from a young age wants to engage in rap. Song Zhou smiled politely and said that if the host's attitude towards rap is the same as other ordinary hobbies, instead of thinking that he is not doing his job properly, He also won't come out and make songs by himself.

The host found Song Zhou's response particularly interesting: "Do you want to change people's stereotypes about rap?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on the situation," Song Zhou shook his head, and responded in pure English, "The root of hip-hop culture is in the United States, and there is no gradual development history in China. American rappers come from slums, black communities, dilapidated small Taverns and traphouses, but in China, as long as you can afford Neverland sneakers and wear trendy clothes and sing a couple of out-of-key lyrics, you can call yourself a rapper.”

"Some people will say that the times are different, and hip-hop nowadays pays more attention to musicality..." Song Zhou shook his head again, and said seriously without provocation, "I know that many colleagues will watch this show, if you If you want to release a song, you might as well listen to mine first. Not everyone is qualified to call themselves a rapper, and you have to be self-aware, and you have to know how to get out of trouble.”

Jiang Nuo slid his finger back to Lin Huai's remarks, and listened to Song Zhou's again. He felt that the two young people's understanding of rap was simply incompatible. If they ever met, they would inevitably confront each other.

And they are all inexperienced teenagers in essence.

Only [-]-year-old teenagers have such an idealized view and act without hesitation. This kind of persistence is naive and valuable.Just thinking about this, Jiang Nuo waved a hand in front of his eyes, he raised his head, and Yan Ruoyu stood in front of him with his upper body naked.

"You—" Jiang Nuo suddenly didn't know what to say, stood up, and asked Yan Ruoyu why he wasn't wearing clothes.Yan Ruoyu patted his chest and said generously: "Didn't you feel happy when you touched my abdominal muscles last time? Now it's hot after taking a shower. Keep touching and be happy."

Jiang Nuo: "..."

"I'm happy, very happy, very happy." Jiang Nuo couldn't laugh or cry because of Yan Ruoyu's logic, he smirked until wrinkles appeared at the end of his eyes, Yan Ruoyu put on his clothes contentedly.Calculated according to the lunar calendar, today is the 26th year. Most of the foreigners who returned home have left. The villages and towns in Ling'an City have become empty cities. When it rains again, only the two of them come to take a bath throughout the night, but Jiang Nuo is still afraid of the banquet. Ruoyu will be recognized by sharp-eyed people, let him put on his coat and hat, and the two of them will walk in the deserted streets with an umbrella. Every time they pass by a snack shop, they will ask: "Do you want to eat?" this one?"

Yan Ruoyu shook his head every time, and after being asked again, he asked back: "Why aren't we home yet?"

"Take you to eat first." Jiang Nuo kept in mind Pei Xiaozhao's advice before leaving, Yan Ruoyu didn't eat after waking up from sleep, was too hungry and had a cleanliness problem, so he chose to take a bath first.

"Don't be so troublesome, don't your uncles and aunts have pearl milk tea and spicy soup, we can eat these when we go back."

Jiang Nuo stopped and turned his head to look up and down Yan Ruoyu who was rubbing his shoulders. He had every reason to suspect that Yan Ruoyu, who only ate fresh food delivered by air, was stunned by the collapsed ceiling and wanted to try the mobile stall.

"...Then you, even if you have dinner at my house, you still have to go back to your own big house." Jiang Nuo said more and more slowly, because Yan Ruoyu's eyes became more and more mournful, and his lips were tightly closed in a coquettish manner. Even if he wanted to make some realistic suggestions, he couldn't say them.

"I'm not on a whim, and I'm not playing with you. I just want to go and see where you live now, can't I?"

Yan Ruoyu's twinkling bright eyes can be called a trump card, and no one can refuse it so far.Jiang Nuo recalled how Yan Ruoyu acted vigorously when he ordered the excavator to stop and helped move other furniture away as quickly as possible, and he didn't insist anymore, and took Yan Ruoyu back to the newly resettled rental house.Yan Ruoyu looked happy, if it wasn't for the drizzling rain, he would definitely jump and run a few times.

The forced demolition did not come without warning. To be on the safe side, Jiang Nuo took a fancy to the vacant house of another local nearby.He didn't have the capital to negotiate terms with the locals, but Miss Xiaoli also rented that man's house and gave Jiang Nuo a guarantee, so he temporarily got the key to the vacant house and promised to pay an extra month's rent if he moved in a year ago. .Originally, they were all ready to cover the wet quilts, but fortunately Yan Ruoyu's big G helped carry out a lot of things. When the two returned, Miss Xiaoli happened to pick out all the clean clothes and put them in the cabinet .

Jiang Nuo pulled some cash out of nowhere and stuffed them into Miss Xiaoli's hands. The words of thanks were much more natural than the first night the two met.Miss Xiaoli confiscated it, saying that everyone is a fellow villager and it is right to help each other.

"I see that your pillows are all wet, come with me to the room and get some for use first." Sister Xiaoli walked around Yan Ruoyu and left without making eye contact with him the whole time.Yan Ruoyu was quite puzzled, he didn't think that Miss Xiaoli would forget him so soon, otherwise she wouldn't be faintly embarrassed.

This sense of embarrassment was exactly the same as Lin Ping's expression when he heard that he wanted to eat Mala Tang.There was a pot of cooked Malatang dishes on their table. Lin Ping clenched the fabric of her trousers with her hands hanging on both sides, and said embarrassingly, "These things...are not very unhygienic."

"It's okay, it's okay, everything is delicious when you're hungry." Yan Ruoyu sat down on the small bench unceremoniously, hoping that what she did would make the family of four relax a bit, and eat the skewers with an expression of enjoyment.

Seeing that he didn't dislike him, the second elder finally became less nervous, until the silent Jiang Zhi suddenly stood up, holding a bowl and wanted to sit on the threshold to eat. There are only four benches, and he wants to give up his own to Brother Jiang Nuo.

Jiang Nuo, who was holding two pillows, just came out of Sister Xiaoli's room, and heard Jiang Zhi answer angrily.Lin Ping only thought that the child was in the rebellious period and did not listen to the adults, but Jiang Nuo knew that he was unwilling and powerless for what he had suffered today, and could only protect his little self-esteem.

At this time, the best thing to do is to let him be alone, Jiang Nuo didn't say anything, and sat in Jiang Zhi's seat to eat Mala Tang with rice.Jiang Qingyun is hospitable by nature, and asked Yan Ruoyu if he would like to try their homemade chili sauce, but Jiang Nuo asked Yan Ruoyu before he could be impulsive, as Pingxiang people would be irritated to tears when they ate homemade chili sauce by themselves.

Yan Ruoyu's curiosity is nothing but curiosity, life is still important.Jiang Qingyun's Malatang is sold to outsiders like himself, so the selection of ingredients can definitely save money, and the taste is hard to describe for Yan Ruoyu, who is used to delicate snacks.But now he is in Jiang Nuo's house, no matter how unpalatable the food is, he still has to pretend to be delicious, and if he can't swallow it, he secretly squats at his feet and eats more white rice.After eating, Jiang Qingyun, who had bad legs and feet, rested on the bed, Lin Ping cleaned up and washed the dishes, Jiang Nuo went to clean outside, and Jiang Zhi sat at the folding dining table and disassembled the starry sky lamp, and wiped the parts inside carefully. Combine again, press the switch, the light is still not on.

Yan Ruoyu sat opposite Jiang Zhi, and said lightly, "Forget it, I'll buy you another one."

He said this purely out of kindness. No matter how expensive the starry sky lamp is, it is only 200 yuan, which is completely small money in his eyes.But who knew that Jiang Zhi not only didn't appreciate it, but when he raised his eyes, his eyelids were closed, as if he was white, how could Yan Ruoyu have a temper, and by the way, he settled an old score with this little brother.

"Hey, kid," he educated like an older brother, "You have to respect other people's right to privacy, you know, how can you peek at your sister Jiang Nuo—ah no, brother's mail."

Jiang Zhi didn't speak, and continued to polish the parts of the starry sky lamp.This time the light was on, but the projected area was actually very small, and it was not obvious in the room where the light was turned on. Yan Ruoyu flicked Yang Dag's key and asked him if he wanted to try it in the car, but Jiang Zhi didn't. Appreciate it, and say with certainty: "My brother only makes songs for my brother."

Yan Ruoyu grasped the logical loophole, and his tone was firm: "I am older than you, and I am also your elder brother."

Jiang Zhi: "..."

Jiang Zhi put the starry sky lamp under the table, angrily lay down on a small bed less than one meter wide beside Jiang Qingyun, and took out a small dictionary with his back to Yan Ruoyu.Yan Ruoyu didn't know as well as a kid, and went out to look for Jiang Nuo.Jiang Nuo washed the family's wet clothes in cold water and hung them on the bamboo poles under the eaves. When Yan Ruoyu came out, he didn't stop what he was doing. He bent down and twisted a piece of clothes and said, "Let Pei Xiao Zhao will pick you up."

Yan Ruoyu pretended not to hear, and stepped forward to help Jiang Nuo, but Jiang Nuo held his wrist to prevent him from touching the water, looked at him and said, "You are hurt."

"It's nothing, it's just minor injuries." Yan Ruoyu didn't care.The wrapping cloth he was going to sell was removed by himself long before helping to move things, only two or three pieces of waterproof tape were stuck on the back of his hand, and some small scratches were all exposed, which looked really miserable.

Jiang Nuo's tone was tough, and he insisted that Yan Ruoyu sit by the side and do nothing. Yan Ruoyu saw that there were not many clothes in the bucket, so he didn't try to be brave, and didn't call Pei Xiaozhao.

Jiang Nuo could only remind again: "It's very late."

Yan Ruoyu didn't even want to make concessions like finding a hotel nearby, and looked at Jiang Nuo with the kind of eyes that no one could refuse. Jiang Nuo sighed after drying his clothes: "Why are you willing to go back?"

"Unless you go back with me." Yan Ruoyu hurriedly said, "I've seen it all, such a small rental room can only sleep the three of them, there is no bed for you."

"Row."

"...Huh?" Yan Ruoyu blinked, never expecting Jiang Nuo to agree so quickly, he couldn't help testing, "Then Europe—"

"Accompany you too." Jiang Nuo hardly hesitated, nor did he avoid the sight of the two meeting.He is not a man who is twitchy, and he is easy to talk, but now he is too easy to talk, but Yan Ruoyu's mind is empty, and he pushes forward: "Are you really going with me?"

Jiang Nuo said respectfully: "You are my employer, this is what I should do."

The color in Yan Ruoyu's eyes obviously changed from joy to frustration, more because he didn't expect: "You see me as an employer, why don't you say that I'm your benefactor!...you're ashamed to say my attitude It’s not correct, you, you are just like me now, you didn’t let go to compose a song for me, you can’t produce a good accompaniment with this mentality.”

Jiang Nuo was silent.None of Yan Ruoyu's accusations could refute him, but he couldn't think of a countermeasure.The music he made when he was poor and white was indeed very effective, because every small device was earned by himself delivering food and teaching for five or ten yuan, and he had a clear conscience.

But now he uses Yan Ruoyu's studio musical room, and with his salary, if he didn't calculate the account in his notebook and transfer it to others, he would even rely on Yan Ruoyu for food, clothing, housing and transportation, saying that he used money to do things , the essence is no different from nurturing.Even if Yan Ruoyu has no demands on him, he still feels that he is not free, and puts his satisfaction first without knowing it. The newly produced accompaniment and samples all more or less cater to his original style, and instead lose the production. human characteristics.

And what Yan Ruoyu thinks is worth [-] a month is precisely NoA itself.

Yan Ruoyu never imagined that the problem of the two of them running into the bottleneck period was here, so he took it for granted: "Then you just treat me as a friend."

Jiang Nuo was surprised: "Do you really think we are friends?"

Yan Ruoyu also felt incredible: "Why is it not counted?"

"Can you stand the smell?"

"I—" Yan Ruoyu pursed her lips and became speechless.

He knew what Jiang Nuo was referring to.Before entering the room, he could smell the coriander smell. When he really entered the room, the smell of those ingredients was wonderful, which made him yawn several times.

The rental room is very small, and he can still smell sweat and rain, medicine and wine, insects on spider silk, damp wood and concrete floors, and the rusty smell of iron bowls and steel basins after being permanently exposed...Jiang Zhi sat on the threshold Then he added a spoonful of chili sauce on his own, and he didn't dare to take a big breath until the smell dissipated. Later, when he sat in front of Jiang Zhi, he could also smell the unique smell after the clothes that were not changed every day came into contact with the skin.

He thought he wouldn't be discovered if he didn't say anything, but Jiang Nuo saw everything in his eyes. From the moment the two met, there was a lingering low-level smell in him.

Jiang Nuo tightly clenched his hands behind his back, and lowered his head: "Qixi can be fostered here, we—"

"Why do you find it unbearable?"

Jiang Nuo raised his head, Yan Ruoyu's chest heaved and he smiled.

"This taste is too late for me to envy."

"what……"

"The taste of home." Yan Ruoyu approached him and repeated the word, "Home."

Jiang Qingyun took the medicine, and he was reluctant to drink the wine. After being injured, he couldn't go out and could only wash his wife and children's clothes, so Jiang Zhi would rather wear it for a few more days than cause trouble for his father.The bed and floor were cleaned by Lin Ping, except for the spiders, which were beneficial insects. The pots and pans accompanied them from Pingxiang to Ling'an, and finally returned to Pingxiang from Ling'an—they had been foreigners for most of their lives. Ping Xiang, where Jiang Shan is buried, will always be his hometown, where the chili sauce is the most authentic, exactly the same as their homemade.

Yan Ruoyu lowered his head, rubbing the tip of his nose against Jiang Nuo's neck.That is by no means the taste of the poor, but the hope of struggle, the warmth of the world, and the ordinary perseverance.It is this taste that shaped Jiang Shan and Jiang Nuo, the insincere prayer and NoA, and made them help each other and never give up in the face of countless powerlessness.

Yan Ruoyu said sincerely, "I like this taste."

Jiang Nuo sniffed, and turned his face a little helplessly, the lines on his neck became more obvious.Yan Ruoyu deliberately blew there, Jiang Nuo slapped him loudly on the forehead, subconsciously shrugged his shoulders and shrugged his neck, and yelled with a smile: "Don't make trouble!"

"Why are you attacking me again... You are so fierce, otherwise there would be too many people spoiling me." Yan Ruoyu also smiled, and repeated Jiang Zhi's words to Jiang Nuo sourly, Jiang Nuo went back to the room and talked with Jiang Zhi After chatting for a few words, Jiang Zhiai ignored him, and jumped out of bed when Jiang Nuo said that he was going to leave, and asked his brother eagerly if he could stay for one night, so that they could squeeze together.How could Yan Ruoyu let this little boy succeed? Just as he was about to say that the four of them couldn't sleep at all, Jiang Nuo stroked Jiang Zhi's hair and said softly, "You always have to sleep alone."

These words were obviously not meant to himself, but Yan Ruoyu could hear the subtext behind it, children are going to grow up.

"Brother is leaving first." Jiang Nuo didn't let Jiang Zhi pull the hem of his clothes, and told him that he would not be back for the Spring Festival, and he would bring him a gift when the time came.

Jiang Zhi didn't want gifts, but he just couldn't bear people: "Where are you going?"

"Europe." Yan Ruoyu helped Jiang Nuo answer, and was about to specify the location to the city, but Jiang Nuo stopped him.

Jiang Nuo asked: "Do you still remember who Jiang Shan's favorite rapper is?"

Jiang Zhi doesn't listen to singing, but this person is too famous, of course he knows: "Keven Kim."

"Yeah." Jiang Nuo smiled, speaking to his younger brother, his bright eyes fixed on Yan Ruoyu——

"We're going where China's future Keven Kim used to live."
