It is difficult to make a country prosperous. The same goes for people. If you experience more difficulties, you will naturally become stronger.

Li Xiang, who thought he was a child yesterday, felt that he had grown up today.

Although the pressure of the college entrance examination is lifted, the burden of life is pressed up.

Li Xiang sat on the sofa, thinking about the current situation at home.

The main source of income for family over the years is hotels.

The hotel is managed by my father alone, and my mother is a full-time mother. She is full of energy and has no time or energy to find a job.

So, my father is actually making money alone at home.

Now that my father is hospitalized, according to the doctor who is attending him, it is almost certain that he will be limp when walking in the future. It is very likely that the hotel will not be able to be opened. Even if it can be opened, he will not know about the year of the monkey and horse month.

Although the family has some savings, Li Xiang feels that it is definitely not much. After all, he knows the profits of the hotel in a year, and it is not enough to make his family rich and prosperous. It can only be considered a well-off online.

The family expenses are very expensive, the father's injuries, the expenses of the two sisters, and the maintenance of the entire family must be a small amount after careful calculations.

Li Xiang also understands the principle of sitting and eating up the mountain.

My sister is still young and my father is injured. I need my mother to take care of all these things, so it is unrealistic to expect my mother to earn money to support the family.

Then, I can only rely on him. He, Li Xiang, is already the pillar of this family.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang instantly felt that Alexander was so much that he couldn't breathe. Finally, he felt a little bit of the pressure his father usually shouldered.

He can look forward to college life carefree because someone is carrying the burden for him.

This man has fallen now, and it is his right to be in front of him.

But, how to make money?

The easiest way is of course to maintain a good hotel business.

But he neither knows how to cook nor do business.

How to maintain the daily operation of a hotel, his mind was blank.

While racking his brains to think, he packed things in his room and found a music walkman that could not be found on the market. A few words were written on the body of the walkman, "My Ideal".

He pressed the play button casually, and the tape inside began to run, and then a young male voice came out, singing:

??When I was a child, there was a railway next to my grandmother's house??

??Walking through that young summer, my summer vacation??

?? Look at the train looks like a long flame-breathing dragon??

??That year, the sunset in the pine shadows was flying across the runway??

??The evening sun sets in the middle of the waving stone slab??

Hearing the singing, Li Xiang's distressed face finally couldn't help but smile.

This song was sung by him, and this song was written by him, and the lyrics and music were original.

His body had just recovered and was still a little weak. Li Xiang sat on the chair in the room and fell asleep unknowingly as he listened to the songs in the Walkman.

——

"Li Xiang~Li Xiang!"

As the sun sets, my mother appears outside the classroom on time again. Her smiling face is printed on the window glass. She waves hard at me and grins silly. She looks like a silly girl.

"Li Xiang, your mother is here." The girl at the same table thought I didn't see it and reminded her.

"Um." I lowered my head and tidied up my schoolbag, responding blankly.

"Li Xiang, is that the male classmate in your class? It's so handsome." My mother pushed the wheelchair and looked at the school grass in the class excitedly, as if she had never seen a handsome guy before.

"Mom, don't do anything randomly." I knew her "recklessness" and reminded vigilantly.

However, she was still one step late. She waved to others enthusiastically and said in a frivolous tone: "Hi, hello, handsome guy, I am Li Xiang's sister."

I really want to cover my face, but I have no shame to see anyone.

On the way to school, I complained: "Mom, can you stop doing this next time?"

While humming and singing, my mother asked as if nothing had happened: "No, what's the case? Also, how did we agree? You must call me a lady outside."

I opened my mouth and said to the mouth, and changed it to: "Miss, stop singing love songs anymore!"

My mother immediately came to my ear and sang in a louder voice: "??I really miss you. In every rainy season, what you choose to forget is what I am most reluctant to leave. Is the love that lasts for a long time?"

I covered my ears.

My mother sang louder and changed her voice!

Ask me: "Do you have a girl you like?"

Me: "Ah—"

Seeing this, my mother laughed like a tiger aunt.

——

There was a crackling sound in the room, and Li Xiang woke up in shock.

The Walkman card is on.

He pressed the stop button, turned on the Walkman, and took out the tape inside.

The tape is an original tape, used to record and sing. There are 5 songs in the entire tape, all written and sung by Li Xiang himself.

He put away the Walkman and recalled the dream he had just had. What time has it been?

Since he was hit by a car and fell into a coma, he had a long and tired dream, and then he dreamed of people and things in another world from time to time.

Oh no, a few days before that time, he had a lunch break at school, and he also dreamed of some people and things. The nightmare scared him to wake him up. When he woke up, he found tears on his face, and he was ridiculed by Li Dan for this.

Since then, fragments of that world have been flashing in Li Xiang's mind, just like the fragmented dream just now.

"Li Xiang~Li Xiang~"

"who?!"

Li Xiang looked around in surprise and saw that no one was calling him, it was his own auditory hallucination.

Li Xiang rubbed his temples, looked up at the ceiling and stared blankly. After a while, he turned on the computer and copied the song he had heard in his dream just now. After writing all the lyrics and music, he wrote the title: The paper is short and the love is long.

Then he took out his cell phone and clicked on the saved recording. The sound of Li Xiang singing himself came from inside. This was a song he wrote down from his dream during his hospitalization.

Li Xiang played it repeatedly and recorded three of the four saved songs in his laptop.

Add to the song "Short Paper Love" just now, he wrote down four songs from his dream.

There are actually 5 songs, but one of them is called "Sailor" and there are also songs in this world.

The difference is that the lyrics and songwriters are different from those who are singers.

The person who sang this song "Sailor" in the real world is called Wu Hansheng, but the person who dreams is called Zheng Zhihua.

Zheng Zhihua, there is no such person here.

So he deleted the song.

In addition to this song "Sailor", the other three songs are not available in the real world, and there are no singers who sing these three songs.

Li Xiang opened the web page, entered "The Paper Short Love", searched out a bunch of articles, no songs, and picked a few lyrics from "The Paper Short Love", but there were no ones.

"The Short Paper Love" is also a product of a dream world and has nothing to do with this world.

He opened a new web page and began to query the novel where the old man and the Marlins appeared in his dream.

He remembers that the book is called "The Old Man and the Sea" and the author is Hemingway.

Li Xiang likes literature very much. He has read many famous works since he was a child, but he has never heard of this book or this person.

There is no such novel on the Internet!

There is no such person as Hemingway!

He tried hard to recall the content of this book, but only remembered some paragraphs. He couldn't remember the whole book at all, and it was impossible to remember that human memory had not yet become so perverted.

Or many dreams are a few times, and each time you remember some, you can finally recover them completely.

Judging from the part he remembers, this is a novel with a very high standard. In his dream, he heard "My Mom" ​​say that this book "The Old Man and the Sea" is a world-class masterpiece that has inspired countless people, so he often read it to "him" and hopes to inspire him.

Li Xiang sat on the sofa, recalling the little dream just now, and found that he couldn't remember the appearance of everyone in the dream, which was blurry, including "my mother" and "me".

He fell into deep thought and forgot about what was outside his body for a moment. Until his phone rang, it was Li Dan who called.

Seeing that he had been there for so long and hadn't come back, Li Dan was a little worried, so he called him to urge him to go home soon.

"Come back quickly, Dou Dou and Shishi can't see you and refuse to sleep."

"I'm going to clean my house and go out now."

Li Xiang packed up his clothes and stuffed a large bag of mints from the drawer. He was a mint monster, and he didn't have a piece of mint in his mouth, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Before leaving the door, he stuffed the Monchichi doll on the floor and half of the paintings on the coffee table into his bag, turned off the lights and went out.
