Chapter 268: Where Has All the Time Gone
What song do you sing?
Songs based on family affection are very simple for Liu Zixia, but if you want to talk about classic songs, you really can't think of so many for a while.
Holding the guitar and thinking for a long time, Liu Zixia's eyes suddenly lit up, there is!
The sound of a clear spring-like acoustic guitar sounded, and the melody was gentle and soothing.
Everyone in the restaurant put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and looked at Liu Zixia.
At this time, Liu Zixia opened his mouth and sang, the voice was slightly low and full of magnetism:
"The old tree in front of the door grows new shoots
The dead trees in the courtyard bloomed again
Half survived a lot of words
hid in a head full of gray hair..."
"Where Has Time Gone", the song on Earth that touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of people as soon as it appeared.
After appearing at the Spring Festival Gala, it swept through China like a virus, and almost every store and mall was playing "Where Has Time Gone" on a loop.
This song is about singing about family affection and singing about parents!
Liu Zixia believes that this song will satisfy his family, and it is also his own answer to his family!
"Little feet in memory
Meaty little mouth
Give him love for the rest of your life
Just for that mom and dad..."
Originally, when the first song sounded, everyone in the room except for the little ones had a stunned expression on their faces.
The old tree in front of the door, the dead wood in the yard...... Isn't this the courtyard at home?
Xiao Xia, it's really a live creation!
But when the second lyrics were sung, they realized that the previous lyrics were not just literal.
This song is intentionally allegorical, children are new sprouts and flowers, and parents are old trees and dead trees.
Old trees and dead trees are getting older, new shoots and flowers are growing bigger, and old trees and dead trees use their bodies to provide nutrients for the growth of new shoots and flowers, without regrets.
This song awakened their childhood memories.
They thought of the cry when their child was born, and for the first time they vaguely called out dad and mom...... Suddenly, an indescribable emotion, accompanied by the heat in my heart, slowly flowed through my body.
What about those little guys?
When Liu Zixia's two songs were connected, a picture appeared in their minds:
An ordinary house, there is an old tree with new sprouts in front of the door, half of the dead wood is inserted in the yard, and it blooms with tender flowers.
A young couple stood in the courtyard, looking at the old trees and dead wood, and what appeared in front of them was a child with little feet and a meaty mouth, constantly calling 'Mom and Dad'.
As the child grows up, the figure of the couple is constantly changing, the child is gradually getting taller and stronger, while the couple is gray-haired, hunched over, and aging.
"Where has the time gone?
I'm getting old before I feel young
Giving birth to children and raising daughters for a lifetime
My mind was full of children crying and laughing..."
Gao Chao always came so suddenly, Liu Zixia's voice suddenly rose, and all the emotions gathered together and burst out.
The people in the room were all shaken.
Looking back, from birth to school, from work to marriage, and then after giving birth to children, it is the second half of life......
Every step seems to be inseparable from time, but I don't feel the passage of time, and this life has passed.
In a long life, children are the main color, and the traditional thinking of Chinese people, children's affairs are a lifelong thing, and they participate the most in this life, and they are also worried about children.
The old man Liu of the old Liu family, Liu Zixia's father Liu Shuren...... Isn't it all like that?
"Where has the time gone?
Before I could take a good look at your eyes, it was spent
Firewood, rice, oil and salt, half a lifetime
In the blink of an eye, all that's left is a full wrinkle on his face..."
The voice turned from high to low, Liu Zixia's singing was gentle and sincere, and his call for family affection instantly penetrated the hearts of everyone present.
When he sang 'Where has the time gone' for the second time, Liu Yiren, who has always been the most emotional in the room, couldn't hold back anymore, his eyes became extremely red, and crystal tears swirled in his eyes.
She remembered her father's hard work.
The old lady of the Liu family died early, and died after giving birth to Liu Suren, the fifth child.
Old man Liu is a father and a mother at the same time, and he pulls up the brothers of the Liu family with a handful of and urine.
Although the Liu family is a family of medicine with an orderly inheritance, the Liu family has also had times of downfall.
Back then, in order to feed his five children, the old man of the Liu family got up early every day and worked greedily at night, even when it was raining heavily, he had to carry a small medicine box to the door to see a doctor, just for a few taels of food stamps.
When he was a child, Liu Yiren was the most naughty of the five siblings.
Once, she dislocated the arm of a male classmate in the class, and in order to obtain forgiveness, Mr. Liu stood in front of the male classmate's house for a day and a night.
Something like this doesn't happen in two ways......
In order to support this family, Mr. Liu has worked hard for most of his life.
This is in exchange for the beautiful life of the Liu family now, full of children and grandchildren!
It's just that Old Man Liu himself, only the long gray hair and the aging body are left.
So where did the parents' time go, and were they all eaten by dogs?
No!
Parents give their time to their children, because in their hearts, children are the most important.
"Little feet in memory
Meaty little mouth ......"
The chorus part began, and everyone's emotions were completely immersed in this moving song, and they listened quietly like a sculpture.
Bang Bang Bang!
Before I knew it, the song "Where Has Time Gone" had been sung, and there was warm applause in the restaurant.
Whether it is the elders or the brothers and sisters of the same generation as Liu Zixia, they all still have expressions of gratitude and touching on their faces.
Thanks to this, this little girl of the Liu family woke them up at seven o'clock and let them understand that they are growing up, and their father is gradually aging, and the time they can spend with their father is slowly decreasing.
The regret of 'the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait', cannot be staged in Lao Liu's house.
moved because Liu Zixia's song reminded them of all kinds of kindness their parents have given them since they were children, and the hard work they have never paid attention to!
Moreover, memories are the most tear-jerking emotional weapon, and this sentence is not wrong at all.
After this song was sung, every female in the restaurant, the Liu family, had red and swollen eyes, and there were faint tears on their faces.
Those big men, their eyes are also red, and they almost can't hold back their tears!
"Xiao Xia, you sing this song so well, what's the name of the song?"
Old Man Liu didn't act like that, he just rubbed his eyes and said, "Parents, an ordinary but great title!"
"This song is called "Where Has the Time Gone"!" Liu Zixia put down the acoustic guitar and replied.
"What a "Where has the time gone"!" Liu Liren shouted hello, and suddenly took the lead in standing up and said to Old Man Liu: "Dad, you have worked hard all these years!"
The second generation of the Liu family also stood up, moved their chairs away a little, and bowed 90 degrees to Old Man Liu very solemnly.
Old Man Liu was also confused by the actions of his children, and said a little helplessly: "Hey, Liren, what are you doing?
Although many people have bowed and even kowtowed to Mr. Liu since he started practicing medicine, it was also to thank Mr. Liu for curing himself or his family.
But Liu Liren is different, their gratitude is not utilitarian, it is pure!
"Dad, our brothers and sisters salute you with this glass of wine!" Standing up straight, Liu Liren poured a glass of wine and toasted to Old Man Liu.
"Okay, I'll drink this glass of wine!" Old Man Liu nodded, took a small wine cup and drank it all, "Come, you all sit down, let's eat and talk." ”
It is said that parents are the best teachers for children!
Liu Liren gave the children a good start, so the juniors of the Liu family followed suit and came to the elders' table one by one to toast and drink.
Later, Liu Yiren understood that these little guys were wilting, and they did this to pour wine into the elders!
I feel sorry for the elders of the Liu family for a second!
......
A meal is quite a joy to eat.
These elders, except for Liu Mu Wang Wenjing, who doesn't drink much, Dong Mengyu, the eldest aunt, Meng Xiaowei, and the sister-in-law Liu Suren, everyone else drank too much.
Especially Liu Yiren and Liu Liren, the sister and brother drank so much that they had to hit their heads on the ground in the end, and they married Jin Lan!
Okay, if it weren't for Wang Wenjing and the others to stop them, and wait for Ming'er, this sister and brother would have become a sister and brother!
and brothers and sisters, and help these drunk elders back to their respective rooms to rest.
Liu Zixia returned to the room, put Yueyue in her original bedroom, and after lulling her to sleep, she pulled Li Mengyi to the living room and chatted with Wang Wenjing.
said that it was a chat, but in fact, it was basically Wang Wenjing asking, Liu Zixia answering, and Li Meng interjecting from time to time.
For Liu Zixia, his parents are very important people to him, and he has brought all the sins and sufferings in the past few years.
But for those joyful things, for example: some interesting things about the growth of the month, the achievements in the career...... He explained this in great detail.
Before you know it, it's getting dark.
Liu Zixia got up suddenly, returned to the house and took out a small bag, and said, "Mom, Mengyi and I picked out a small gift for you in Jinghua, do you like it?"
"You kid, what kind of gift will you buy me when you go home?" Wang Wenjing blamed Liu Zixia, but the expression on her face was very happy.
Think about it, my son buys things for himself, there is no reason to be unhappy?
Liu Zixia took out a small box the size of a baby's palm from the small bag and handed it directly to Wang Wenjing.
Wang Wenjing took the small box, first looked at it curiously, and didn't find a marked brand on the box, so she opened the box easily.
Suddenly, a pendant of Maitreya Buddha with a crystal white body appeared in front of her eyes:
With a wide forehead, a big belly round like a drum, eyes narrowed into a slit, a smile is always open, and the legs are cross-legged, and even the folds on the clothes are clearly visible!
