Shen Qingjia asked Xu Qing: "Can't you play?"

Xu Qing nodded immediately: "I can play it, but I'm afraid that it won't sound good and will make the two sisters uncomfortable."

"Just play it and watch it!"

Xu Qing nodded, then went to bring in a Pipa.

Shen Qingjia was a little surprised that the boy also learned to play pipa.

Pipa is difficult to learn, and it won't take more than a year and a half to get started.

I saw Xu Qing sitting down, strumming the strings twice, and then started playing.

Shen Qingjia was playing the pipa continuously, but she was somewhat accomplished, not as bad as he said. Shen Qingjia had learned the pipa for several days with Cui Lingxin, so she could hear it somewhat.

As the sound of the piano entered his ears, Shen Qingjia closed her eyes slightly to listen and gradually relaxed.

At the end of the song, Xu Qing stood up and said, "Sister, you've made a fool of yourself."

"You play very well, practice more!" Then, Shen Qingjia asked him again: "How long have you been learning?"

Xu Qing was praised and excitedly replied to her words: "I have been studying for several years. I used to study secretly. My parents at home thought I was not doing my job properly. Later, when I came out, I found a job here in Lelou, and occasionally followed a few people. Learn from a musician, and today is the first time you play in front of people."

Shen Qingjia looked at Xu Qing's smile, and after getting along with him, she knew his character. He was outgoing, handsome and pleasant, making people look at him kindly.

"Let's play some more songs!" Shen Qingjia said.

It was rare for someone to listen to him playing the piano. Xu Qing was also happy, so he continued to play.

After a few songs, Shen Qingjia was very relaxed and enjoying herself.

She also called Xu Qing: "Sit down and take a rest!"

Xu Qing nodded: "Okay sister."

Xu Qing, a young man with a sweet mouth, called Shen Qingjia one sister at a time, making Shen Qingjia happy.

"Sister, I see that you seem a little tired. Would you like me to massage your shoulders and neck? I have learned some massage."

Shen Qingjia seemed to have some ideas.

He just looked at Xu Qinghou and said, "No need, I may have been out for too long and I'm tired!"

After saying that, Shen Qingjia stood up and left.

Xu Qing said: "Then sister will come again!"

Shen Qingjia asked Caihuan to take out the money and hand it to Xu Qing, and nodded: "I'll come again!"

After saying that, the two left. Xu Qing stood outside the door and waved goodbye to them, then turned and returned to the building.

A mother came over and took away the money Xu Qing was holding: "Hey! So much money! Today's guest is quite generous!"

"Mother Zhang." Xu Qing lowered his head in front of her.

Zhang's mother glanced at Xu Qing and said, "Don't worry, I'll take half of it and keep the other half for you."

After saying that, Zhang's mother counted the money and handed half of it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing thanked: "Thank you, mom."

"Xu Qing!" Zhang's mother patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and said, "When you meet generous guests, you have to catch them, otherwise they won't come and you will make less money!"

Xu Qing frowned. Yes, in their Lelou, they are not just a Lelou, they are a Lelou openly, but secretly most people are doing male skills.

Zhang's mother secretly supports these things. If the people below are willing to make money, she can also get a share of the pie.

Zhang’s mother patted Xu Qing, then took the money and left.

Xu Qing sighed. He just wanted to learn piano, but he didn't want to do anything like that.

Xu Qing took the money and left the Lelou, walked around some deep alleys, and stopped at a dilapidated hut.

Before he entered, he heard the people inside coughing.

Xu Qing couldn't bear to open the door and saw an old woman inside fetching water from the well, seemingly washing clothes.

"Mom, didn't I tell you not to touch the cold water? Just let me do it!"

The old lady pushed him away seriously and said: "I wash it myself, you don't need to worry about it!"

"Mom! What are you doing? You are not in good health, why do you do this?" Xu Qing couldn't help but persuade her.

Xu's mother looked calm and said impatiently to Xu Qing: "If you don't let me take care of you, then don't take care of me either! I will treat you as my son!"

Xu Qing sighed helplessly, feeling depressed.

He couldn't make sense with his mother.

His mother wanted him to go to school to study for fame, but he was not that material. Besides, his mother was old and her health was deteriorating, and she still had to support him to go to school. How could he go to school while stepping on his mother's bones with peace of mind?

Now that he has found a job as a musician, he can support himself and his mother. This is obviously very good. They have money to provide for food and clothing, so that they can live a good life. It is nothing more than being laughed at and despised by others, but what's the point?

But unfortunately, his mother insisted that he go to school, saying that obtaining fame was the only way out.

However, there are so many failed candidates, some of whom are still taking exams in their 40s and 50s. Is this the best way out?

Is it bad for people to seek other ways out?

Xu Qing couldn't understand. He didn't dare to do anything against his will without stealing or robbing. He could try his best to live a good life, so why would he want to live such a poor life in search of punishment?

Xu Qing forcefully took the wash basin from his mother's hand and went to the well to wash himself.

Xu's mother's expression softened slightly, she glanced at her son and said, "Listen to me, go to school, and stop working in your music building! Where is that place? It's so dirty, and the neighbors and folks know about it. Shame on you!"

"Mom, I'm working hard, don't think too much, I'm just waiting for guests at the door, nothing else!" Xu Qing explained again helplessly.

When Xu's mother heard that he didn't listen to her, her expression immediately changed and she said in a harsh tone: "You work there, there are so many people coming and going, I don't know what you do! Don't talk about the money you earn. If it’s clean, then there’s no one clean in the building!”

"Mom!" Xu Qing was so angry that he threw away the clothes in his hands.

Xu's mother said solemnly: "Did I make a mistake? Ever since you went to Na Le Lou, you have not listened to me and you have learned badly. I told you to go to school and you stopped studying! It's really a waste of money to raise you! You are worse than your father." I will strangle you when I die! I have to suffer so much with you!"

Xu Qing was angry and annoyed every time he heard these words again, but he could not refute it. He was brought up by his mother, who lived frugally just to let him study and take exams.

Now he went against her will and disappointed her.

He felt a sense of guilt and powerlessness in his heart. He was extremely decadent, his face became heavy, and he lost the sunny smile outside.

Xu Qing had the idea of ​​​​escape, but when he saw his elderly mother, he felt that he was unfilial.

Xu Qing sat down and silently started to wash the clothes. After washing the clothes, he started to boil water for cooking. After everything was done, he got up and went: "Mom, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

Xu's mother yelled angrily: "Get out of here! If you are such an unlucky person, what's the use of you? You'll only be an eyesore!"

Xu Qing took a deep breath. The moment he walked out of the house, his heart was filled with desolation. Every time he returned home, he felt heavy and depressed, and not happy at all.
