After lunch, Liang Liang and Wang Fan arrived at Yahe Department Store and went to the musical instrument counter.

Perhaps because it was midday, there was only one girl with eyes on her forehead applying makeup in front of the mirror behind the counter.

The girl was so captivated by her own beauty that she ignored the arrival of Liang and Liang.

Liang Liang and Wang Fan admired the girl's beautiful, ox-waist-like figure for a long time, but she didn't turn around to greet her two admirers.

"Beautiful lady! We want to buy a guitar."

The term "beautiful woman" worked; the girl turned her face away.

She's alright looking, just a bit chubby. If she could lose 50 pounds, she'd be considered a beauty.

However, women who lose weight when they are young are very unreliable.

If they can't control their eating after marriage and childbirth, their bodies will swell up to over 200 pounds.

Liang Liang has seen it all; this is not an exaggeration.

"Hey beautiful! We're looking to buy a cheap guitar, something under 200 yuan. Can you recommend one?"

Under the influence of the beautiful woman, the salesperson readily brought out two guitars.

They are both domestically produced Red Cotton and Phoenix brand guitars, one for 120 yuan and the other for 160 yuan.

"Beautiful lady! Your fingers are so long and slender, you must be able to play the piano. Could you play a piece for us?"

Wang Fan was speechless. Was he buying a guitar or trying to pick up girls?

The girl blushed slightly: "I really don't know how."

"Really not good at it? What a waste of your hands. Girls with hands like these are kind-hearted, beautiful! Do you have a boyfriend?"

The girl said shyly, "I'm still young."

"I'm not very old either, can we get to know each other?"

Wang Fan couldn't take it anymore. Could there have been some aphrodisiac in the wine he just drank? Why was this guy in heat?

Liang Liang eventually bought the Red Cotton guitar for 160 yuan and also learned the girl's name.

Then, amidst the girl's somewhat affectionate gaze, he waved goodbye with a flourish.

"Pah! Why are you doing such strange things today!"

"What's unusual?"

"First of all, why are you flirting with her for no reason? You don't actually want to find a partner with her."

"What kind of talk is this? Does not having a boyfriend mean you can't flirt with girls? What's wrong with flirting? It's not illegal."

"Look how idle you are. Those two little vixens aren't enough for you to mess around with, yet you're still out there talking nonsense."

"Hehe! I'm just killing time anyway."

"And another thing! Why did you buy such a wooden guitar? Were you just bored?"

“My neighbor has a little girl who cried and begged to learn guitar and insisted on becoming my student.”

"Hehe! That little girl must be very pretty, otherwise why would you be so kind?"

"Xu Hebin's younger sister is indeed quite good-looking, but she's a bit young."

"You're not going to be raised as a child bride, are you? So you can cause trouble for someone when you grow up!"

"What are you saying? A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. She's my childhood friend's sister. If she did that to me, wouldn't I be a beast?"

"You weren't exactly a good person to begin with?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I was planning to hand her over to you these past few days. Maybe she'll fall for you and become your child bride. That wouldn't be bad, would it?"

Wang Fan was disgusted: "I have no habit of preying on underage girls."

"Aren't you still indirectly insulting me? Don't be stubborn, maybe you'll fall in love with her at first sight."

The two of them, carrying guitars, returned to the Oriental Arcade, laughing and joking.

Qin Wenju said she would take them back.

Since there was a third wheel with a 250-degree tint, and some things couldn't be done in public, Qin Wenju could only drive Liang Liang and Wang Fan home with a heavy heart.

They were taken all the way to the entrance of Liangshuiwan Village.

"Liang Liang! Come to the street tomorrow or the day after and help me with something. I'll come pick you up then."

"Let's talk about it when you come."

After seeing Qin Wenju off, the two entered the village and arrived at Liang Liang's house.

Compared to Wang Fan's large house with red bricks and gray tiles, Liang Liang's four thatched houses looked like something out of primitive society.

After introducing Wang Fan to his parents, Liang Liang returned to his and Liang Feng's room and played video games with Wang Fan.

The two teamed up to play Contra.

Wang Fan, with his terrible skills, will soon lose all thirty of his lives.

Liang Liang told him how to borrow a life, and then tragedy struck; in no time, this guy had borrowed all of his life.

Liang Liang thought that Wang Fan's brain was too bad for Contra, so he switched to playing Tank.

This despicable guy is even more ruthless; he destroyed his own base in several consecutive attacks.

If your hands are smelly, can't you just stand aside and watch?

No way! Wang Fan resolutely refused to let go of the handle. He had finally found something that interested him, so how could he easily give up?

Liang Liang chose a game that two people could play in turns.

This time, Wang Fan was dumbfounded. When it was his turn, he died within a minute of having a life, while Liang Liang could play for more than ten minutes with one life.

Instead of admitting his own hands were smelly, he said Liang Liang was a lazy cat.

The two argued and kept the fire burning until Liang Feng and Liang Qiuqiu got out of school.

Liang Liang then handed the handle to Liang Feng.

This time, the two lousy hands are birds of a feather, and neither of them needs to look down on the other.

The two of them were actually laughing and having a good time.

What's so funny about two terrible chess players getting together?

After dinner, Liang Liang was going to take Wang Fan to see Xu Mei, but who knew that this guy was addicted to video games and didn't even want his female apprentice anymore. He put down his rice bowl and went to play video games with Liang Feng in the room last night.

Liang Liang had no choice but to carry his guitar to Xu Hebin's house by himself.

Xu Mei saw that the guitar was playing terribly.

"I'll pay you back for the guitar when I make money in the future!"

"Come on! This guitar is for beginners to practice on. It's not worth much. Learn it well and you can become a star in the future. Once you've practiced enough, you can use my electric guitar."

After giving Xu Mei some pointers on how to practice guitar, Liang Liang chatted with her parents for a while.

The conversation mainly focused on Xu Hebin's job situation.

"Uncle! Aunt! Bin hasn't made much money these past few months since he left with me. I actually feel quite guilty. I originally wanted to bring him and Sui Fulu to play in my band, but unfortunately they just don't have the talent. So I can only arrange for them to do what they can. Please don't have any other ideas."

Liang Liang felt it was necessary to talk about this.

He was the one who took the people out, and he made tens of thousands of yuan back, while the two of them only brought back a little over two thousand yuan each. It's normal for them to have some reservations.

“Nephew Liang, you’re being too polite. We know our own children’s capabilities. No matter how much Bin earned in the past few months away from home, he at least learned a skill. You’ve also arranged jobs for them near our home with a monthly salary of 500 yuan. We’re more than grateful to you, how could we possibly have any other thoughts!”

That's the logic, but if you don't make it clear, it'll just remain a thorn in your side.

Xu Hebin's father is still
