young friends come to meet

When Ye Kai got home, he went straight into the room after dinner.He took out the tape Yin Congnan gave him, leaned against the quilt at the head of the bed, held it in his hand and watched it repeatedly with a silly smile.This was the first time he had touched a foreign tape.It is full of foreign characters. He can recognize the individual letters of ABCD, but when combined together, it becomes "it knows me, but I don't know it".Relying on his Chinese pinyin skills, he tried to pronounce the band's name—"Aba?" He scratched his hair and still felt something was wrong.

After looking at the box for a long time, I gently opened the tape case. It was like opening a treasure chest. The ordinary tape inside seemed to be shining like a rare treasure.He took out the tape, held it in his hand, looked at it over and over for a long time, then put it back and closed it, and even the sealing paper had to return to its original state.

He turned over and got out of bed, rummaged through the small drawer under the desk for a long time, and finally found the English-Chinese dictionary in high school.The number on the tape case should be followed by the name of each song. He found a pencil and a small notepad, and looked it up in the dictionary for the first time after graduating from high school eight years ago.

"The first one," he wrote a "1" on the small notebook, and then began to look through the dictionary. After 10 minutes, he wrote after the number, "When I kiss the teacher." After writing, he frowned and thought, This foreigner is open.

"The second song," he wrote another "2" and whispered through the dictionary, "The Dancing Queen." He frowned again, not knowing what the meaning of the song titles given by these foreigners was.He sighed and continued writing, a little worried that Yin Congnan would ask him what he thought of the song when he met him again.If you can't even understand the name, how can you chat with Yin Congnan.

Finally, he stumbled and translated the titles of the eleven songs. Ye Kai wiped the sweat from his palms and opened the cassette again.He closed the lid and was about to press the play button when his hand stopped.He remembered that he still had the empty tapes left over from the previous recording of the radio show, which he found in the box under the bed.

Such an expensive foreign tape, how could he be willing to rub it with the head of the player.He put an empty tape in the other slot and hit the transcription button.

More than half an hour later, the tape was transcribed. Ye Kai put the original tape sent by Yin Congnan away. Although the lyrics page inside was exquisite, the four foreigners smiled and looked at it, but he couldn't understand the dense foreign language on it. Words are nothing but waste to him, so after rubbing them for a while, they put them into the tape case intact, closed the lid, and put it away in his own glass cabinet.

This glass cabinet was bought by Ye Kai to store treasures. Today, another one was added to the pile of treasures.

It can be regarded as listening to songs, he put the transcribed tape into the main playback slot, rubbed his palms, and pressed the play button.

The sound of an unheard instrument sounded, followed by a foreign woman singing a harmony in a foreign language, flowing from the speaker of the player, filling Ye Kai's small room.

His classmate who works in the heavy machinery factory now lives in the family courtyard of the heavy machinery factory.Because the heavy machinery factory is far away from the urban area, they don't go back to the city for several weeks, they mainly do activities near the heavy machinery factory, and they haven't seen Ye Kai for a long time.From their light machinery factory to the heavy machinery factory, the distance is not close. It takes nearly an hour to take a bus, and you have to back up in the middle.So he and Yin Congnan made an appointment to leave the gate of the factory at [-] o'clock in the morning on weekends and go to the heavy machinery factory together.

Ye Kai specially matched a suit of clothes.Fitted jeans, gray sneakers, a white lapel long-sleeved shirt, and a white sports jacket.Because I didn't have anything to take with me, I didn't have a backpack, so I put the keys and money in my pockets and went out.

Now he is waiting for someone at the bus stop sign outside the factory, and he came a little early.He woke up before dawn in the morning, recalling that he slept for less than five hours.It must be because he listened to the music too late the night before, and thinking that he would see Yin Congnan today, he was too excited all of a sudden, which affected his sleep.

Ye Kai had never heard such a beautiful song. He listened to it over and over again, even if he was sleepy, he didn't want to stop.He can't wait to chat with Yin Congnan how much he likes this gift.He wants to tell him that this is the best song he has ever heard in his life, even better than Teresa Teng!

He washed up early, dressed neatly, and trotted all the way to the appointed place.

Knowing that he came early, Yin Congnan should arrive in a while, but he still couldn't control himself and looked at his watch frequently. Finally, when there were still about 10 minutes before the appointed time, Yin Congnan appeared from the other side of the road up.

He was wearing a pair of light-colored trousers, with a dark brown belt around his waist, and the light blue shirt was tucked into his waist, making Yin Congnan's legs look long and straight.Look at the bottom of his feet, aren't those the shoes Ye Kai gave him?

Ye Kai was happy, but also a little shy. He wanted to praise Yin Congnan for looking good in these shoes.

Just as he was thinking, Yin Congnan approached, "I'm late."

"It's not too late, it's because I came too early." Ye Kai waved his hand quickly.

"How long have you been here?"

"It won't be long, the car will not come for a while."

Yin saw the person under the stop sign from a long distance from Nan, and now he couldn't help but look at him again, "I wanted to tell you a long time ago."

"what?"

Yin Congnan pushed his eyes and smiled shyly, as if he was embarrassed by what he was about to say.

"You dress very fashionable, no different from young people in America."

Ye Kai was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Yin Congnan would strike first, and praised himself one step ahead of him.Now Ye Kai was embarrassed.If he also praised Yin Congnan back, it would seem that he was being polite to him, and the feeling of sincerity was a little less.

Therefore, Ye Kai decided not to say anything, and while clenching his teeth, the expression on his face became a little strange.

Yin Congnan praised others so bluntly, the other party might be embarrassed. After all, Chinese people are more reserved. Even a young man with a bright personality like Ye Kai might not know how to respond.

He changed the subject in time, and raised the paper bag in his hand, "You came so early and didn't have breakfast, I bought some buns, let's eat first."

Ye Kai was really hungry, so he was not polite to him, and the two of them sat on the chair under the stop sign and started eating.

"I'm going to buy soda." Halfway through eating, Ye Kai suddenly got up, went to the newsstand at the intersection, and brought two bottles of soda over. As soon as he handed Yin Congnan a bottle, the bus came. The remaining two buns were stuffed into his mouth, the paper bag was thrown into the trash can, and he ran onto the bus with the soda in his hand.Before the bus closed, someone shouted outside, "Bottle! Give me back the bottle!"

It turned out that the boss of the newsstand came after him.Ye Kai poked his head out from the open window, waved the soda in his hand to the boss, "I'll pay you back when we come back!"

The two laughed at each other in the car.

The conductor asked the two of them, "Where do you two get off at?"

"Haiguang Temple."

"Two cents each."

Yin Congnan put the soda bottle that he drank up into his bag, and when the bus shook, the two bottles clinked.

Yin Congnan didn't know many places he passed by on the road. After all, he had left here since he was in college, and Ye Kai had to point them out to him with such great changes.

After tossing and turning, the two finally arrived at the heavy machinery factory.Even in this late autumn season, I was sweating a lot.

"The subway seems to be open to traffic at the end of the year, and it will be much more convenient for us to go to the city."

Yin Congnan said, "I've also heard that after more than ten years of planning, we finally have a subway."

"Did you never expect that our country is not much worse than US imperialism now?"

Yin Congnan nodded, "Yes, the development speed has become faster, and we are already running."

Ye Kai turned around suddenly, facing Yin Congnan and walking backwards, "Let's run now," he raised his arms and raised his head, "We will fly higher and faster in the future!"

Yin Congnan answered him firmly, "Yes!"

They looked into each other's eyes, both confident in the answer.

"Ouch!" Ye Kai bumped into a fire hydrant and nearly fell down. He quickly turned around and walked on, thinking to himself, it was almost embarrassing.

"By the way, have you listened to the tape? I have put on all the shoes you gave me." Yin Congnan stretched out his feet for Ye Kai to see.

Ye Kai chuckled, "I've seen it a long time ago. Does it fit?"

"Just right."

"That's fine." When it finally came to the tape, he held back all the way, "I like that tape so much, it's so good, I've listened to it many, many times. What's the name of that band?"

Yin Congnan pronounces, "Aba."

"It's really called Aba! I really got it right. I looked up the names of the songs, but I didn't find out the name of this band, and there was a letter written backwards. What's the meaning?"

Yin Congnan frowned, "It's just a name, and it doesn't seem to have any meaning. Maybe it's written backwards to make it unique?"

"When I heard you talking about the band, I thought it was a symphony band. Only the tunes weren't sung, and I thought I couldn't understand it. It turned out to be songs. Or pop songs." Ye Kai hesitated, "It's pop songs. Is it a foreign pop song?"

"Yes, it's a pop song."

Ye Kai guessed right and smiled, "I used to think Teresa Teng was the best and the most fashionable, but this band sounds better. I've never heard this kind of music before. It's the sound of some kind of instrument. I can't even hear it." I've heard it. The female voice is also good. What are those two men doing?"

Yin Congnan told Ye Kai what he knew about the band. Although it was not comprehensive, Ye Kai still listened with great interest.

"Which song do you like best?" Yin Congnan asked him.

Ye Kai said, "I like every song, and they all sound good. How about you?"

Yin Congnan opened his mouth to say the title of the song, but changed his mouth after thinking about it, "Actually, I also like every song. If I have to say it, it's the second song."

"I know, I was also impressed by that one, called The Dancing Queen."

Yin Congnan looked at Ye Kai's excited look, nodded and said, "Yes, she is the dancing queen."

The author says:

The tape of the ABBA band mentioned here is their album "Arrival" released in 1976, which includes the well-known song Dancing Queen. "Yes, the dancing queen."

Friends who may be too young, I don’t know much about this Swedish band that was all the rage in the 80s and [-]s, and is highly respected by Europe and the United States today, but you must have heard of the dancing queen (I think it should be translated as dancing queen, but Ye Kai said whatever it is).This song is also ABBA band's only number one single in the United States.Our Xiaonan really has taste!

In addition, I personally like Miss Teresa Teng very much, I can sing every song of her~
