TWWMABMTBH Chapter 53

He then clicked to view the item details.

Suona: A musical instrument with a majestic timbre and high volume. It has a wooden body, and a copper mouthpiece and bell. A masterpiece of an old craftsman, as the saying goes: “One year for a qin, three years for a xiao, a broken waist from a erhu, and the whole play ends with a suona.” The hooligan of instruments, played from birth to the coffin. The perfect companion for mankind.

System: Isn’t this national traditional culture? Why do you call it a hooligan?

Rong Ziyan silently took out the suona and blew a note.

In an instant, the high-pitched and loud suona sound shook the entire dormitory three times. With this volume, let alone a cello or violin, even if electronic high-tech instruments were played together with the suona, they would be suppressed by the suona’s loud voice.

System: Okay, daddy, I understand, daddy, you can stop now, daddy.

Whether it’s played from birth or not doesn’t really matter, this sudden sound is really capable of sending a person straight away.

And it was clear that others had the same thought as the system.

In less than three seconds, there was a loud knock on Rong Ziyan’s door.

“Coming!” Rong Ziyan opened the door, suona in hand.

Standing outside the door was the Class Monitor. He had originally heard the earth-shattering sound and wanted to see if something had happened to Rong Ziyan. But when he looked down and saw the instrument in Rong Ziyan’s hand, he suddenly had a very subtle premonition.

“I say, Rong’er, what is that you’re holding…” The Class Monitor was very tired, feeling like he was a worrywart old father even though he was still young.

However, Rong Ziyan very calmly gave the answer, “Suona. I just got it.”

Class Monitor: “…So are you planning to learn it?”

Rong Ziyan: “No need to learn, I already know how.”

Class Monitor: “???”

Rong Ziyan: “I usually won’t play it in the dorm, don’t worry!”

The Class Monitor received the promise, but his eyes were still lost. He didn’t regain half his soul until he returned to his own dorm.

“What’s wrong? Is Rong Dog causing trouble again?” The Class Monitor’s roommate looked worried on the surface, but in reality, his eyes were full of excitement.

“I don’t know either.” The Class Monitor sighed, “But he got a suona.”

“???” The roommate was immediately shocked, “So that loud noise just now was…”

“Yeah.” The Class Monitor nodded in pain.

The roommate immediately burst into tears as well. Damn, this is too scary. Rong Ziyan was already incorrigible enough as it is, now he even has a weapon. How will they live in the future?

But then again, besides being irritating with his words, Rong Ziyan is not that bad. At critical moments, he is the backbone of the department, so a surge in combat power is actually a good thing.

Besides, if those five bastards in Rong Ziyan’s room can really be sent away with a song, that would also be a good deed for the people!

After his roommate turned the corner and analyzed it with the Class Monitor, the Class Monitor’s originally tense mood also relaxed a lot.

Rong Ziyan was sitting in his room when he heard the system prompt, 【Class Monitor’s Worry Value 1000】【Class Monitor’s Relief Value 1000】【Class Monitor’s Happiness Value 1000】

System: Rong, look! Look what you’ve scared the poor child into!

Rong Ziyan: Don’t talk nonsense, the process isn’t important, the result is that I clearly brought him happiness.

System: That you didn’t get beaten to death is really the latest Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.

Their internal chat once again reached a dead end, but this was already their usual mode of operation. So, less than five minutes later, Rong Ziyan and the system started a new topic.

System: “So why do you know how to play the suona?”

The system was really very curious.

Rong Ziyan answered casually, “I learned it from Uncle Liu in the village when I was little. I put it down after I got into agricultural university.”

“What did you learn that for?” The system was very puzzled. Could it be that Rong Ziyan knew about all-round development since he was a child?

Rong Ziyan, “To earn money! Rural areas are different from cities. When a child is born, they play it at the full-month feast; when a new bride is married, they play it; when someone dies, they play it at the funeral. Throughout the year, nothing else is certain, but those who play the suona will always have work to do.”

“…” The system sighed, feeling sorry for him again.

How old was Rong Ziyan back then? Other children were running wild all over the mountains and fields, and they would go back to their parents’ arms to cry when they were wronged. But Rong Ziyan was already trying to learn skills to support himself.

But Rong Ziyan didn’t feel any self-pity or sadness. Instead, he sighed, “It was quite glorious back then. Those who play the suona are always standing in front. They were all so envious of me for being able to appear on stage for both big and small events. I was like a celebrity.”

“Ah! Using the current internet terms, you would be called an idol?”

System: Daddy, I beg you to say less! What kind of idol can be as amazing as you, sending people to the crematorium on the spot!

The chat once again reached a dead end. The system lay flat, wanting to ease the emotional impact.

But Rong Ziyan was arranging the salted duck eggs in the basket, and also sorting the salted fish.

He really didn’t feel uncomfortable, nor did he think that he was pitiful and suffered in the past.

In this life, whether a person lives for others or for themselves, it is their own choice. Once they have made a decision and walk down that path, there is no need for outsiders to comfort them or give them pity.

Firstly, it may not really bring spiritual healing. Secondly, they have already gone through it, so why continue to wallow in that pain and make themselves suffer?

Rong Ziyan recalled the times when his parents were still around. Back then, they lived with his uncle’s family, his second uncle’s family, and his grandparents.

There were many people in the yard, and collisions were inevitable.

Once, he was bullied by his two cousins. Given Rong Ziyan’s personality, he naturally fought back on the spot. But a few days later, for some reason, he thought of this matter again and couldn’t help but cry.

At that time, his father hugged him and explained a principle to him: “Life is like this, bitterness outweighs sweetness. If you really want to taste bitterness, there is no need to recall the past, just taste the present, and it will be bitter enough.”

“Therefore, forget all the sadness of the past. Let it pass. Only remember the sweet things, the happy things, so that people can live a little easier.”

Rong Ziyan didn’t understand at that time, but he was always obedient, so he would follow his father’s words and imitate him. Until now, he is mature enough to understand the meaning of his father’s words, and he has also realized that his father, who gently taught him like this back then, truly loved him.

And this, is already the most fortunate thing.

However, even the most open-minded person, after wandering for a long time, will have some knots in their heart. Rong Ziyan left home when he was twelve or thirteen years old, and had been living in a precarious situation ever since.

During school, he lived in school; during holidays, he lived where he worked. Seeing that he was already in his twenties, he wished he had a home.

Even if it was just a flat house with a few square meters, a window, and a door. That would be a place to settle down.

But in Beijing, buying a house is too difficult.

The down payment alone would cost hundreds of thousands or millions, and the monthly loan payments are also considerable. Just thinking about it, he knows that it is currently an impossible goal.

Rong Ziyan has never been someone who is unrealistic, but perhaps because he thought of his father today, those thoughts that were suppressed in his heart also rose up one by one.

But he quickly calmed himself down. He secretly persuaded himself that he would have a home eventually if he worked hard.

It was getting late, Rong Ziyan, burdened with his thoughts, didn’t want to talk much and closed his eyes early to sleep.

In the middle of the night, someone opened the door with a key. The noise was quite loud, and they turned on the light after entering the room.

They didn’t care at all that there was another person in the dormitory who was already fast asleep. It was the four people from Rong Ziyan’s dormitory.

If it were normal times, they wouldn’t dare to be so blatant.

It was mainly because they had gone out to drink a little today. They were emboldened by the alcohol, and became very arrogant.

Rong Ziyan was woken up by the noise, but he didn’t open his eyes, just continued to close his eyes to rest.

But these four people became more and more outrageous. They even started clattering around while washing up.

Normally, Rong Ziyan would be too lazy to care about them. But today he was already irritable, so he couldn’t suppress his anger any longer.

So, Rong Ziyan sat up from the bed and looked at them.

“What? Want to fight?” These four roommates couldn’t wait for Rong Ziyan to make a fuss with them.

However, what they never expected was that Rong Ziyan took out his phone and sent a text message directly to the counselor, “My four roommates drank outside of school, returned late maliciously, and made a lot of noise after returning to the dormitory, disturbing rest.”

The counselor was also not asleep. After seeing Rong Ziyan’s message, his first reaction was to call back, and he called the four roommates in the dormitory.

He bombarded them with questions, “What’s going on with you? Come to my office right now!”

Rong Ziyan is now the department’s darling, and with the experiment reaching a crucial step, Rong Ziyan’s side must not go wrong. If these four disturb him, and the experiment fails, it would be a big trouble.

So, the counselor quickly came to the dormitory in person and took the four of them away for education. Before leaving, he glanced at Rong Ziyan by the bedside lamp. He felt that Rong Ziyan didn’t look very good, “If you don’t feel well, remember to go to the infirmary.”

“Okay, don’t worry, teacher, I’m fine. I’m sorry for calling you over so late.” Rong Ziyan was indeed very sleepy. After saying this, he leaned back on the pillow and fell asleep again.

At this time, the four roommates who were taken away were crying, but with no tears. They had agreed on a private matter, but calling the teacher at the drop of a hat was such a show!

But no matter how dissatisfied they were in their hearts, being caught by the counselor for drinking was definitely going to warrant a scolding.

It was also very miserable.

The next morning, Rong Ziyan rarely didn’t get up. He was weak all over his body, and it took several seconds before he could sit up from the bed with difficulty. He felt like every bone in his body was aching faintly.

The system was very worried: Host, are you sick?!

Rong Ziyan struggled to find a thermometer. He measured his temperature; it was 39.7 degrees Celsius.

He quickly called his tutor and the senior brothers in the laboratory, explained the situation, and asked for leave, saying he wouldn’t go over today.

Then, Rong Ziyan quickly put on a piece of clothing and went to the school infirmary. He had brought all his things, and he even knew to bring a long-sleeved jacket and a water cup.

It wasn’t a serious illness, and he was young. The school doctor quickly finished prescribing the medicine, and arranged for him to rest on a chair on the side while getting an IV drip.

Rong Ziyan covered himself with his jacket and closed his eyes to rest.

The system sighed, “I thought you would take a pill and go straight to the lab!”

Rong Ziyan shook his head, “How could I? The laboratory is the place that requires the most focus and precision. If my mind isn’t clear, going there would just be adding to the chaos.”

Rong Ziyan thought it through very clearly. If he made a mistake because he was sick, it would affect the whole team. It was better to rest well. After he recovered, he could just work overtime to make up for it.

The medicine was very effective. After a while, Rong Ziyan fell into a drowsy sleep.

Someone came to the infirmary to get medicine, and seeing that Rong Ziyan was leaning there alone, they felt very uncomfortable.

They casually complained on the forum that even though top students seem glamorous, they are quite lonely in private. They don’t even have anyone to take care of them when they are sick.

At first, some people agreed, but later, some people focused on the main point of the question: who is the top student who is so miserable?

After hearing that it was Rong Ziyan, the atmosphere of the whole post instantly became strange.

“Hehe, don’t talk nonsense, how could Rong Dog possibly get sick? The virus would be angered to death by him if it saw him.”

“The point is that no one is taking care of him? He can’t find a girlfriend, it’s definitely because he is asking for it!”

“How can a straight-up dog have a gentle lady?”

But as everyone complained, someone quickly came to the infirmary to claim Rong Ziyan.

Xu Chuanzhi and Yao Lele were the first to arrive, and then the Class Monitor and a few other VIP customers of Rong Ziyan also came to the infirmary with food.

Seeing that Rong Ziyan was sleeping soundly, and also that there was no one else in the infirmary today, Xu Chuanzhi and the others discussed with the doctor in the infirmary to see if he could lie down, which would be more comfortable for him.

It could be seen that Rong Ziyan was tired; they had made such a fuss, but he still hadn’t woken up.

“It can’t be that he is seriously ill!” Yao Lele is a girl and is a little more careful than the boys.

But the doctor in the infirmary kept saying that he was fine, so they could only relax for now.

The doctors at the agricultural university’s infirmary are still very skilled. As expected, when Rong Ziyan woke up in the afternoon, he was fine.

Not only had his fever gone down, but the feeling of pain all over his body had also disappeared, and he was as lively as before he got sick.

The system told him about the time when everyone came to see him when he was asleep. Rong Ziyan responded with a sound and didn’t speak, but he remembered all the gratitude in his heart.

Just then, someone pushed the door open. It was the Class Monitor. He came to bring Rong Ziyan food. He was very happy to see that Rong Ziyan was awake.

When he asked the doctor again, he heard that he was fine, so he planned to send him back to the dormitory first.

“Is the department still busy?” Rong Ziyan asked casually.

“Isn’t it?” The Class Monitor also sighed and simply told Rong Ziyan about the troubles he had encountered.

It was about the graduation ceremony.

The agricultural university has this rule that there is a graduation ceremony every year. Each department, according to the class, puts on a performance.

Originally, Rong Ziyan’s class was planning to have someone who could sing well go up and sing a song, but the key thing is that there are many talented people in each department and class this year. Compared to others, Rong Ziyan’s class seemed too ordinary.

When the Class Monitor went to register the program, the counselor persuaded him for a long time, but it was difficult to change to a new and creative program at the last minute.

“If only our department had someone who knew how to play an instrument. Even if it was just teaching everyone a short piece!” The Class Monitor was just muttering casually, but as soon as he said the words, he instinctively felt that something was wrong with what he had just said.

Then, he saw Rong Ziyan’s smiling face.

“Class Monitor, I know how!” It was also a coincidence that the two had just entered the dormitory.

Rong Ziyan enthusiastically pulled the Class Monitor into his dormitory, then took out the suona, and played the section that he was most familiar with.

A funeral song for funerals – “Ten Kneelings for Father”.
