From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 19 Father's Phone

Every time I go home, I feel very heavy. When I was still in school, my parents would question me about my studies and whether I would be able to find a job after graduation. .

So they always say, "Let you study hard in high school, go to medical school and come back to work in the hospital, and inherit the mantle of our Yun family."

Our Yun family's ancestors have always practiced medicine, but it stopped in my father's generation, and only my aunt chose to practice medicine.So I, who was in high school at the time, became the hope of my family. I hope that I will further my medical school studies, combine ancestral traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine, and carry forward the Yun family while passing it on. There is a long way to go.

Especially my grandfather, he was the one who most hoped that I could work in the medical field. At that time, he was young and frivolous, thinking that he could soar into the sky and overlook the whole world with a snap of his fingers.

After retiring from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the County Hospital in 04, my grandfather opened a Yun’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. I would go to help fetch and cut medicines during winter and summer vacations...

Sometimes I also think back to when I was a child, my cousin Lin Yuan and my grandfather went up to the mountains to collect Chinese medicine. Grandpa would also tell us the pharmacology of different medicinal materials and treat intractable diseases.

Looking back now, my grandfather has been a doctor all his life. He retired instead of living a leisurely old life. He also chose to deal with medicinal materials and patients. He has saved many people, but he is still an ordinary person.

During this job hunting experience after graduation, I deeply realized the hardships of life, the hardships and tediousness of sales work, and I even thought of regretting it... If time can be rekindled, I will be reborn in high school, even if I don’t Going to a conservatory of music and trying to get into a medical school is fine. At least practicing medicine means fulfilling the wishes of family members. What you do is also contributing to society and having great meaning and value. After all, can you do sales for a lifetime?
Some things are past when they are over, and what you regret is that it doesn't help.

It’s just that my family has put me under a lot of pressure in these years. It’s okay now. I will face pressure to marry in a year or two, get married and have children, but now I can’t even support myself. How can I protect and take care of the woman who has been with me all my life...

I used to think it was Xia Qing, and fantasized about marrying her, starting my own family, not going to a super-first-tier city, doing an interesting career in a second-tier city, and living an ordinary life, but that... is the shadow of a dream after all. .

---

At this moment, my father called me. In my impression, I haven't talked to him for a long time. His voice was a bit heavy: "Xiao Qian...is everything okay outside?"

"Ok!"

"If...too tired, go home! Home will always be your resting castle..."

"I know, Dad, I don't want to go home so early, I don't have the face to come back if I don't make some achievements..." Over the years, my father and I have less and less communication. At this time, for the first time, my eyes felt a little hot , also tried to ask with concern: "Dad, how are you and Mom doing recently? There is nothing serious about your health!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, but my father smiled, "We are all fine, and you are not too young. Before high school, you were not allowed to fall in love with Qin Qing because of your studies. Now you are not too young... It’s 23! In a few years, it’s time to get married. Your grandfather is old and wants to see you get married. You fight for it... Bring a girl home early for the New Year... If it’s not possible, I’ll talk to your Uncle Qin... "

Qin Qing is my first love, and her father and my father are good friends. I heard from my mother that when my father was young, my father had an engagement with Uncle Qin, so I always teased Qin Qing about it when I was in school. Playing tricks on her, who knows, and then we secretly got together.

"I...Dad, don't...that's all happened in the past, don't do that...I don't like Qin Qing anymore. After so many years, he already has his own life. In short, don't worry about it... I will try my best to fight for your son!"

Over the years, I can see that they like Qin Qing very much. Qin Qing is very gentle, a very well-behaved and sensible girl, with good academic performance, and two charming dimples when she smiles.

Our two families also communicate frequently, and we can say that we treat Qin Qing like a half-daughter-in-law. I'm afraid even their elders didn't expect that the baby relatives would be together.Therefore, I blamed my parents and quarreled at that time, and it was precisely because of that incident that my communication with my parents became less and less.

But then I thought about it, especially after experiencing the rules of society, I understand their feelings better...or maybe I have grown up too...If possible, I would also like to joke more with my parents and listen to what they say .

"Then you can see for yourself, I will not get involved in the affairs of you young people!"

The father said vicissitudes: "Hey, it's not easy to do projects now. In the past two years, the funds for several projects have not been allocated, and the workers are urging them to pay wages. Your father's family has been paid for all these years... and he can't pay it." How can you help, Xiaoqian, you have to learn to rely on yourself!"

"Dad, don't worry! I have hands and feet, and I can support myself. I understand that life will get better..."

I only heard my father laugh twice, and he hung up the phone. My father is still so cool. He always doesn't want me to hang up on him first. Every time he hangs up first... After thinking about it, I don't realize it Looking at the phone screen and smiling.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Qin Qing for many years. Since she was discovered and educated by both parents in the third year of high school, she has become farther and farther away from me. Although I would still secretly look for her at that time, she is a A girl who is very obedient, not rebellious, and never dared to disobey her parents' wishes.

During the years when I came to W City to go to school, when I went home during the Spring Festival, only Uncle Qin and Auntie Qin would visit, and Qin Qing never came again.

Wechat was not popular at that time, and I only had Qin Qing’s QQ and phone number. After the college entrance examination, she was admitted to Wuhan University, and I went to W City farther away. When we first entered school, we still kept in touch occasionally. Until the end of the military training, I When we met Lao Kang, Qi Qi, and Kun Kun, we formed a band and devoted ourselves to the band.

Until the lead singer Zhao met Xia Qing...

The girl I will always remember at the first sight, dressed very coolly, holding a microphone... the whole stage seemed to be her world!
With a distance of thousands of miles from Qin Qing, it was difficult to continue the long-distance relationship, and the feeling gradually faded away.

Later, I used QQ less and less, until one day I found out that Qin Qing was missing from the friend list, and I dialed the number of her former hometown, but it was empty...

I have searched for Qin Qing's QQ account, but I have never made up my mind to add her. I think she already has her new life, and I hope everyone is well.

At that time, I didn't understand love. I opened my mouth and said many vows to Qin Qing that I would never be able to keep. It was the most hazy heartbeat, the most impurity-free emotion, and the deepest longing. .

Many years later, when I think back to my high school life, and recalled the excitement at the beginning, it is still the most true, most beautiful, purest, and sweetest.

However, it was just a memory buried deep in my mind.
