Chapter 159: Old Friends (1/2)
He was holding the book, confused, and suddenly remembered what the doctor had said.
When he was in the hospital before, the doctor said that if Grandpa Tang’s illness was discovered a few years earlier, there might be a cure… A few years earlier, Tang Jinyu looked down at the book, and his heart beat faster. Yes, he’s now 19 years old, and the book is in 2012.
This is a staggered period of time. After returning, if he can find Grandpa earlier, he can definitely get treatment in advance.
He tried to touch the book a few more times, and the countdown on the book continued. Except for the time lost bit by bit, nothing changed, and nothing happened. After trying a few times, Tang Jinyu knew that he couldn't leave now and he still had to wait patiently. This day's time just allowed him to make some preparations and deal with some of the things here.
Here, grandpa is his only relative, and grandpa is gone, he has no reason to stay.
It was still late, but this time Tang Jinyu did not sit at home as before. Suddenly, he had the energy, and his spirit was lifted. First, he took his school bag out and put the book in, carried it on his back, and carried it every step of the way. He immediately began to organize things at home, his family is very poor, and there are not many things that can be used. He picks up one of the better ones and puts them in the living room and packs them in boxes. His neighbor is an old grandmother with inconvenient legs, and living here is not very easy. Leaving it to her can be regarded as helping.
After that, he went under the bed to find the box his grandfather had left him, and took out the 50,000 yuan bundled inside. The money inside was specially changed by the old man in the bank. It was very new, and when a thick wad was held in his hand. Tang Jinyu couldn't help but feel sad again. He took the bag, thought about it, and counted out a thousand yuan and put it aside, and put the rest of the money in the backpack.
When the person in charge of the piano shop interviewed him, he paid him 1,000 yuan in advance. After that, he was busy in the hospital during this period, he did not have time to respond to the other party. Anyway, he did not go to the piano shop to work, so he had to pay the money, and return it to the other party.
Tang Jinyu found the phone, clicked it, and found that it was out of power, put it aside and charged it for a while before turning it on. Sure enough, he found several missed calls and text messages.
The text message was sent by the person in charge of the music store to inform his boss that he was back and asked him to go for an interview in the past two days. A few messages were sent in a row, and it seemed a bit anxious.
Tang Jinyu glanced at the time. It was a bit late now, so he didn't call, and replied with a message, saying that he would go back to visit early in the morning.
He stayed at home until midnight, and when he was tired, he took a shower and slept on the sofa for several hours.
Not long after dawn, Tang Jinyu woke up. Before he opened his eyes, he touched the schoolbag he was holding in his arms. He reached in and fumbled for the book and took it out. The countdown on it has changed, and now there was more than ten hours left.
After he saw this, his heart settled down.
When he sent the two boxes of items packed out of the room to his neighbor’s grandmother’s house, the other party was cooking breakfast, and when he saw him coming over, she asked him to eat together, “Xiaoyu, I was just about to call you. I made fried cake today, isn’t this what you like the most? Come and sit down, there’s a bowl of sugar beside me to put sugar on your own.”
Tang Jinyu gave her the things and smiled: ”Grandma Yang, I won't eat, there is something I need to do and I will be going out in a while.”
Grandma Yang wiped her hand and looked at him. She was startled when she saw the two boxes, ”What did you bring here?”
”Some things I don't need at home, I'm going to college, it's useless to leave them, I just want to send them to you, you pick and choose, and you keep what you can use.”
Grandma Yang wanted to persuade him, but when she opened her mouth and suddenly remembered that there was no one in this child's house. The house on his side was rented, and he would definitely not rent it again after going to university, and this was longer his home. Grandma Yang sighed and nodded: ”You are a good boy. Leave things here. Grandma, thanks you in advance. If you have time, come back and have a look. Grandma will make fried cakes for you.”
”Okay.”
Tang Jinyu put the things down, but was worried.
He went to the piano shop again with his bag on his back, because he arrived early and the door was not open, so he stood by the door and waited for a while.
There was dew in the summer morning, but Tang Jinyu didn’t care at all. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the sky. He felt that today’s weather was particularly good and the air was good. Even the burden that had been weighed down on his shoulders for several days was gone, and his whole heart was a little lighter.
When the person in charge of the piano shop came, he was stunned when he saw him. He looked at his thin face and his dew-stained clothes. ”Why are you here so early? I saw the message you sent. I want to call you this morning…” He opened the door as he said, and said to Tang Jinyu, ”Come in and sit down and talk.”
Tang Jinyu didn't answer the phone before and didn't respond. The person in charge of the piano shop was indeed a bit dissatisfied, but after sitting down, after hearing Tang Jinyu's explanation, his attitude improved a lot, and in turn he comforted him with a few words.
”Everyone has to leave one day, and the sorrows change smoothly. In the future, you have to work hard alone.” The person in charge of the piano store said, ”You just came today, and our boss is coming over. When you tried to play here before, you were really good. I told the boss, and the boss is also very interested. But instead of playing at the piano shop, you are instead teaching at the boss’s house.”
Tang Jinyu wanted to speak, the person in charge coughed first, and whispered to him: ”Don't worry, it's actually very simple. Just teach the boss to play a song. If it doesn't work, just educate him. Our boss has just switched to investing in these two years, mainly because he wants to feel the atmosphere…”
As he said, he handed over a business card, and the name printed on it made Tang Jinyu stunned. He was so familiar with the three words ”Guo Xiaohu”, he stared at it for a while and suddenly asked: ”Is your boss from Shandong? He should be 25 years old this year, and his family is engaged in the building materials business, right?”
The person in charge was stunned, but quickly reacted: ”Did you read the newspaper too?”
”He has also been in the newspaper?”
”Yeah, those lace news are all scribbled. In fact, our boss Guo's private life is not that messy, and he has never brought up those little stars. He is currently with a…male student from a conservatory of music.” Probably thinking about letting Tang Jinyu teach, the person in charge simply said it. Anyway, it was all about being talked about. It was mentioned many times in newspapers and on the Internet. ”Boss Guo likes men, but don't worry. He likes to take care of people. It's better to be fairer and weaker, especially the kind with a literary and artistic atmosphere. It is not the same type as you.”
Tang Jinyu blinked, looked down at what he was like now, and understood in his heart, he smiled: ”It turned out to be like this, I know.”
”I know this may be presumptuous, but this is one of the most lucrative jobs, and Boss Guo is actually very honest and direct, completely different from those discussed outside.” The person in charge wanted to tell him again. At that time, the phone rang, and he answered a few times, and immediately got up and gestured to Tang Jinyu, ”The boss is here, you come with me, and in the end he has to approve the matter personally. Don't be nervous when you meet. Boss Guo is very talkative, so just behave well.”
