1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 248 New Song
"I have some ideas."

Xu Yuexin said with a smile.

"I'll get you a pen."

My sister-in-law immediately stood up and ran to the bedroom.

Usually, Xu Yuexin serves his sister-in-law.

Only when writing songs could Xu Yuexin enjoy her attentive service.

After a while, my sister-in-law brought a pen and manuscript paper and put them on the table.

Xu Yuexin picked up the pen and wrote a neat line of words on the paper.

"There is always sunshine after the rain"!
I am willing to share all the joys and sorrows of life with you...

Line after line of lyrical lyrics come to life on paper under Xu Yuexin's pen.

His sister-in-law sat opposite him, staring at the tip of his pen without blinking.

"Look at it backwards. Can you see it clearly?"

Xu Yuexin asked his sister-in-law without even raising his head.

The sister-in-law shook her head honestly: "I can't see clearly."

"Then why don't you come over."

"I'm afraid of disturbing you."

"Come on, I won't bother you."

Xu Yuexin said.

"Hey."

After receiving Xu Yuexin's reply, the sister-in-law quickly moved a chair and sat next to him.

Under the watchful eyes of his sister-in-law, Xu Yuexin continued to concentrate on writing lyrics.

Soon, he wrote a long lyric, followed by the song.

When he wrote down the tune, his sister-in-law was already humming the melody in her heart.

Well, it's a good song.

The lyrics are positive and meaningful, the song is cheerful, lively and full of energy, which fits the positioning of an inspirational song very well.

My brother-in-law is truly an all-rounder and an evergreen, as he can write such an outstanding song again.

After singing two paragraphs silently, the sister-in-law gave affirmation in her heart.

Soon, all the lyrics and music were written.

Xu Yuexin handed the manuscript to his sister-in-law and said, "Try to sing it."

The sister-in-law hurriedly and carefully took the manuscript, sang the whole song again, and then sang gently.

"I am willing to share all the joys and sorrows in life with you..."

……

The cabin was suddenly filled with beautiful singing.

Xu Yuexin listened quietly, nodding from time to time, until his sister-in-law finished singing.

“You sing beautifully.”

Xu Yuexin applauded his sister-in-law, "You haven't wasted your basic skills."

"of course."

The sister-in-law snorted, then looked at him admiringly, "It's mainly because you write well."

"This song is absolutely top-notch."

"Let's find a recording studio and record the tape."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Xu Yuexin patted his chest and said.

"I will go with you."

The sister-in-law said.

"It's not a big deal. We don't need two people."

Xu Yuexin shook his head.

In the past two years, if you wanted to use a recording studio, you had to rely on connections, but it’s different now.

Many art troupes rent out their own recording studios, and there is no problem as long as you can afford the rent.

"Give me two weeks. I'll practice this song again and perfect the details of the breathing and other aspects."

When the sister-in-law saw that she was not needed to find a recording studio, she said.

"Okay, it won't be too late to find one when you are almost done practicing."

"I'll buy you a good quality recorder so that you can sing better for comparison."

Xu Yuexin said.

These days some high-end electrical appliances begin to appear on the market.

For example, a high-fidelity recorder can help singers better review the problems they encounter when singing and improve their singing skills.

After talking to his sister-in-law, Xu Yuexin walked out the door with her and drove out to buy a tape recorder.

The two of them came to the Wangfujing department store and picked out a tape recorder at the top electrical appliance counter. "This is it."

Xu Yuexin pointed at the recorder on the counter and asked the salesperson, "How much?"

"Seven thousand per unit."

The salesperson said to Xu Yuexin enthusiastically.

It actually costs seven thousand?
My sister-in-law was shocked by the offer.

Even though her net worth has reached millions, she still feels that this consumption is a bit too high.

You should know that the tape recorder she has now costs only over a thousand yuan.

Seeing her expression change, the salesperson immediately started trying to sell her the product.

"Comrade, please don't think it's too expensive. Our recorder has a higher warranty rate. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

She tried her best to sell this tape recorder to Xu Yuexin. You have to know that expensive electrical appliances like tape recorders are generally not allowed to be tried out nowadays.

"Let me try."

The sister-in-law said, and the salesperson quickly turned on the recorder for her.

"If the sea could take away my sorrow..."

After the tape recorder was turned on, my sister-in-law sang a few lines to it.

"You've finished singing, right? Please listen."

After the salesperson finished speaking, he pressed the save button, and then the play button.

Soon, beautiful singing came from the tape recorder.

It was exactly as the salesperson said, this tape recorder had a very high fidelity rate, and when it played it it sounded like Chen Yixiu was singing herself, and there was no noise at all.

“It’s still too expensive.”

Xu Yuexin had already taken a fancy to this tape recorder, but he still shook his head deliberately.

"We can give you a 98% discount."

The salesperson said.

In the past year or so, state-owned stores have undergone major changes. Bargaining and discounts are now allowed.

"What's the difference between this and not fighting?"

Xu Yuexin shook his head as usual and said, "One price, how about 6000?"

"No, comrade, you cut too much..."

The salesperson looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry about answering me. Go ask your manager."

Xu Yuexin waved his hand.

"Then wait a moment."

The salesperson thought for a moment and said, then quickly left the counter and walked towards the manager's office.

Not long after, she came out.

"The lowest price is 6300. We can't give up any more."

The salesperson said to Xu Yuexin and Chen Yixiu.

"10% off, right?"

Chen Yixiu pondered and looked at Xu Yuexin.

"Okay, 10% off is fine."

Xu Yuexin said readily, took out his wallet, paid the bill, carried the brand new tape recorder, left the department store, and got into the car with his sister-in-law and returned to Tuanjie Lake.

As soon as she got home, my sister-in-law couldn't wait to plug in the power and try out the new tape recorder.

She first sang "Night in the Naval Port" into the tape recorder, and then sang "The Sun Always Comes After the Rain" which she had just written.

After the recording was completed, my sister-in-law turned on the recorder and enjoyed her own voice.

“It’s well-sung and well-recorded.”

After the song was over, Xu Yuexin spoke to his sister-in-law with admiration.

"Well, I'll use it from now on."

My sister-in-law said happily.

The performance of the recorder is so good that the pain of spending more than 6,000 yuan has long disappeared.

"I'll give you the money."

After being happy, the sister-in-law said to Xu Yuexin, went to the bedroom to get a stack of banknotes and handed it to Xu Yuexin.

She had originally planned to pay the bill herself today, but she didn't expect the high-fidelity recorder to be so expensive, so she asked Xu Yuexin to pay for it.

"Six thousand three, right?"

Xu Yuexin said, and then reached out and took out half of the money, "This is considered our means of production, each of us will pay half."

"Okay, if you need it next time, tell me and I'll send it to you."

The sister-in-law thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she didn't force it.
