Chapter 46: Double Standard Life
Mi Bao clenched his fists, secretly encouraged himself, and pulled Duan Ze towards the place where there were the most people, holding the little broken bowl and shaking it pitifully.
"Brother and sister, please give me some food."
She is cute, and even with dirt on her face, her pair of black eyes still make people feel distressed.
A soft-hearted girl stopped and looked around, but couldn't find the QR code. She said in embarrassment: "Little girl, I don't have any cash. Can I give you a piece of bread?"
Mibao nodded his head vigorously, "Okay, okay, I didn't have enough to eat this morning. Thank you so much, sister."
What girls understand: I didn’t get any food in the morning.
In fact: I was afraid that she would have indigestion, so I only let her eat half full.
The girl felt so distressed that she ran to the nearby convenience store and bought her another loaf of bread.
Mibao was overjoyed, "Thank you, sister!"
She didn't like to take things for free, but the production team didn't allow her to give talismans. Mi Bao scratched her head in embarrassment, then thought of something. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled Duan Ze aside and said, "Brother, sing a song for me!"
This is a thank you gift.
Duan Ze couldn't open his mouth, afraid that people would recognize his voice. He lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Let me play the erhu for you."
He is tall and has a good figure. Although his face looks a little dirty and he even put on makeup to create a scar, his figure is still good.
The girl who delivered the bread nodded and said, "That's fine."
As soon as Duan Ze moved his hand that was playing the erhu and the sound of sawing wood came out, Mi Bao immediately covered his ears with a look of pain on his face.
She finally understood why her brother couldn't get any food.
He's stupid but still wants to save face, he can't even play the erhu!
Duan Ze looked embarrassed. He played the piano and couldn't play the erhu.
But they are all musical instruments, so there must be something in common. He said, "I'll try again."
After the trial, Mibao covered his ears even tighter, his face wrinkled into a bun, "Wow, I really want to be deaf."
The girl nodded in agreement. She wanted to get the bread back. Why should she be punished for doing a good deed?
Duan Ze's face flushed red, and Mi Bao sighed, "Come on, give it to me."
"You can?"
Duan Ze was a little surprised.
Mibao didn't say anything, but his performance was still better than his.
Mi Bao took the erhu, put it on the ground, and crossed his legs to help stabilize the erhu to prevent it from slipping away.
Duan Ze shook his head, the posture was wrong.
Mibao closed his eyes and recalled. When he opened his eyes again, his chubby hands started moving.
This prelude...
Duan Ze was a little surprised.
Some passersby also stopped to listen. At first, they were curious about the little girl playing the erhu, so they came to watch. However, as they listened more, their expressions became more and more strange.
Why does this song sound so murderous?
Dong Wei was delivering a takeaway when he suddenly heard a familiar tune and looked sharply in one direction.
When he heard the climax, he couldn't bear it anymore. He asked Dong Yang to watch the takeaway and ran towards the source of the sound.
He squeezed into the crowd, but he didn't expect that the person he saw would be Mibao.
How could she play this song?
No, her fingering is wrong. It doesn't look like she knows how to play the erhu. It seems like she just memorized it mechanically.
Even so, the song was played to 70% of its original quality.
He opened his mouth and looked at the crowd around him. He didn't interrupt her and couldn't help but close his eyes and listen quietly. He seemed to see the scene of thousands of horses galloping and golden spears and iron halberds. Because of the timbre of the erhu, it seemed a bit tragic.
His fingers were tapping the beat uncontrollably, but just when he was about to continue listening, the sound suddenly stopped.
He opened his eyes suddenly and frowned, "Go on."
He was wearing a mask and his face couldn't be seen clearly, but Mibao still recognized him.
She blinked innocently and said in a milky voice, "That won't happen later. Grandpa Ma always stops here."
So she didn't learn it either.
Grandpa Ma?
Hearing this address, Dong Wei's eyes lit up, "Is it Mr. Ma Yang Ma?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Ze also looked surprised.
Ma Yang is an old artist. He is proficient in eighteen musical instruments and has high musical attainments. Tickets for his concerts are hard to get. He ignores many people who beg to become his disciples.
But five years ago, for some unknown reason, he suddenly burned all his music and disappeared.
Many people said he was crazy.
Many people looked for him but couldn't find him.
Mi Bao tilted his head and looked at him, then shook his head slightly under his expectant gaze. "No, Grandpa Ma said it was called a hornet's nest."
A hornet’s nest???
Does anyone really come up with a name like that?
Dong Wei asked persistently, "Where is he now?"
Mibao said, "I sweep the floor in the factory where my father works as a security guard. Grandpa Ma can play the erhu and suona. Whenever someone dies, he plays the suona and I perform a shaman dance. We can earn a hundred yuan each time!"
Mibao puffed out his little chest, looking extremely proud.
Dong Wei's eyes dimmed suddenly. It was difficult to get a ticket to Mr. Ma's performance. No matter how many people begged him, they might not be able to hear him play, let alone play the suona at a funeral.
Even though he was prepared, he still felt a little disappointed at this moment.
Just when he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang: "Your order has timed out."
Oh, and takeout!
Dong Wei remembered that he was still delivering a takeaway, so he quickly ran away.
Although he was only experiencing the life of a delivery man for one day, the orders he received were real and there were people waiting for him to deliver food.
He turned around and went back to look for the car. When he got there, he saw a little fat man eating a piece of fried chicken. Suddenly, his vision went dark.
"Xiaoyang, who told you to eat secretly?"
Dong Yang burst into tears, "Brother, I'm hungry."
Dong Wei was angry and helpless, so he could only hurried back to the store and buy one with his own money.
He finally understood that letting Dong Yang watch over the food was like throwing a mouse into the rice jar and inviting a wolf into the house!
Mibao poked his little head out to watch them walk away, and also grinned.
She looked up at the passers-by and continued to beg for food.
This time they changed the division of labor.
"Brother, you cry and I'll pull."
Mibao said domineeringly.
Duan Ze coughed and was about to speak when Mi Bao said with a sullen face, "Brother, you must work hard, otherwise I will complain to Mom!"
Catch him and send him back to work!
Understanding her subtext, Duan Ze snorted, "Just follow her and learn bad habits."
I'm obviously helping him.
If my family really goes bankrupt one day, I must learn a skill.
Thinking of this, Mibao became more serious and said, "Go quickly."
Okay, okay, Duan Ze felt embarrassed to be shy anymore. The main reason was that he was paid to appear on the variety show, so it would be inappropriate for him to do nothing.
He convinced himself, took a deep breath, and said, imitating Mibao's words just now: "Brother and sister, please give me some food."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded by a big brother: "You are so young and have arms and legs, but you come out to beg for food. Isn't it shameful? Get out!"
A mother holding her child nearby also said to the child, "See? You have to study hard, otherwise you will only be able to beg for food in the future."
Duan Ze: “…”
Ahhhh, he is going to make a fuss. Why are they all so double-standard?
