Rebirth in America

When she stayed in that small port, the children didn't play with her, as if her ugliness was contagious, and they stayed away.

Lonely and lonely, she has always wanted to find opportunities to integrate into other people's groups, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not achieve it.

What she didn't expect was that on the way to Houston, she would meet people who did not discriminate against her and took the initiative to chat with her. Is this a dream? No, this is not a dream.

In just over ten minutes, they became familiar with each other, had common topics, and their relationship became closer.

After chatting, Janis learned that the man with messy hair was called Dugarry. He was an Italian immigrant who had just arrived in the United States. He worked around to make money and liked to play the guitar.

The other two were named Blanco and Neuer. They only met after getting on the train and had never met before.

Blanco is a handsome young man with blond hair, neatly dressed, gentle in character, and speaks in an orderly manner. My parents are doctors and my family environment is relatively good.

Neuer is the oldest among them. He is twenty-two years old this year, but from the outside he looks only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was a college student and took a week off specifically to watch the concert. Just now, he mistakenly thought that Janis was a man. When he realized that he was wrong, he quickly apologized.

"Giannis, you don't have a penny on you, but you dare to go to the concert. It's really amazing."

When they learned about Janis' situation, they were all impressed. They had never seen anyone so bold, let alone a girl.

"What if you get to Houston and you can't find the money?"

Neuer asked with some worry. He really couldn't think about the misery of Janis living on the street.

"Maybe you could ask your family to send you some money?" Blanco suggested.

"Didn't she run away from home? How could her family send money?" Dugarry shook his head and explained.

"Don't worry, I'll find a job there."

Janis is not very worried about this problem. She has encountered more difficult things than this before, and she has survived it.

Dugarry suddenly remembered something. He slammed the table and said, "Jannis, if you like Alex's songs so much, you must be able to sing too!"

"Well, I can sing a little bit."

"That's easy. I originally planned to perform outside concerts to make money. How about you team up with me and make money singing on the street together."

"You can also sing? That's really great!

Blanco and Neuer both found it interesting after hearing this. They like Alex's songs and have sung them secretly, but they have never done it before performing in front of so many people.

Janis felt her face getting a little hot, and she said hesitantly: "I, I have never sung in front of other people before. I have only sung for A Chou."

"A Chou? Who is A Chou?"

Everyone felt a little strange and asked who this A Chou was.

Janis pointed to the native dog lying on the ground and said, "A Chou is it!"

Dugarry scratched his head in annoyance. He knew that singing on the street requires a lot of courage. If you don't perform in front of people, it's probably difficult to sing freely.

Blanco thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll lend you money. I have enough money to buy two tickets."

Janis was a little moved, and she said sheepishly: "How can that be done? It won't work like this."

Both Dugarry and Noelle advised her to borrow money to buy tickets to attend the concert first. If she went to the streets to make money by singing, she didn't know how long it would take before she would have enough money.

"I, I will definitely pay you back. I will!"

Janis was touched by these new friends. She felt that the goddess of fate began to smile at her, and the sun became much brighter. The big stone that had been weighing on her heart finally fell. For the time being, she could stop thinking about money and happily go to the concert with her three new friends.

After getting off the train, I found that Houston was already full of outsiders, many of whom were fans who had traveled thousands of miles. They divided into two groups, one to find a hotel and the other to buy concert tickets.

To save money, they rented a small house and planned to spend a week there. In order to take care of the girls, they decided to let Janis sleep on the bed, while the other three slept on the floor.

"This, isn't this bad!" Janis kept refusing, but the three people insisted that she sleep on the bed.

"Hey, stop talking. We are all fans of Alex. If we meet by fate, we should help each other."

In the end, Janis couldn't refuse and had to occupy a bed to himself. After finding a place to stay, the people who went out to buy tickets also came back, and they brought some not-so-good news.

“Tickets are sold out!”

"What about tomorrow's tickets? They're also sold out?"

"The tickets for tomorrow are also sold out, not only tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, but also the whole week."

"Oh my God, there are so many people rushing to buy tickets from us!"

"Where are the scalpers? They should have votes in their hands!"

“The scalpers have tickets, but all of us have enough money combined to only buy two tickets!”

There were only two tickets, but there were four of them. This is how to do!

"I don't need to consider my vote. After all, it's all your money!"

Janis first said that she did not want a ticket and that she came to Houston just to be closer to Alex. Since there is no way to enter the concert, this is the only way.

Neuer insisted: "No, since we are here, we have to go in to watch the concert. We have to go in!"

Blanco also nodded and said, "Yes, as for the money, I can call my family and ask them to send it over. It's just that the time is too short, so it might be a bit troublesome."

In this era, there is no Internet or anything like that. Transferring money to send money is very time-consuming. If you really have to wait for the money to arrive, I'm afraid a week has passed. Alex's concert will only be held in Houston for one week, and will be moved to other cities after that time.

Dugarry clapped his hands and said, "Then we can only use my plan. Let's all go to the streets to sing!"

"Can you make enough money like this?" Neuer expressed doubts.

"Every little bit you make is worth it. Maybe someone will give us tickets after seeing how good our performance is."

No one takes such an answer seriously. However, doing nothing here is not a good idea. It's serious to make money, whether it's selling, singing, or working, as long as you can make money.

Neuer decided to go to Houston to look for big companies, maybe they were recruiting college students as temporary workers. Blanco decided to find a job in a mall. He thought that with so many out-of-towners coming to Houston, these malls would definitely need a lot of manpower to keep them busy.

As for Dugarry and Giannis, they really came to the square with the most people to perform and make money. A Chou also followed, squatting next to the two of them and not moving around.

Since it was the first time to perform in front of so many people, Janis's heart was beating fast. She felt that her forehead was covered with sweat, her eyes were a little blurry, and her ears were filled with other people's voices.

The sound of the guitar played by Dugarry seemed to come from the horizon, ethereal and uncertain, as if time had stopped and the air was stagnant. After a while, she woke up and realized that she was standing in front of many people, completely unable to move. Dugarry's guitar and vocals weren't that loud, but the noise from the surrounding crowd was loud.

This is an early song sung by the Carpenter brothers. The song is called "You Are My Sunshine" and has a very happy rhythm. This song is very simple and can be sung by almost all Americans. After it was covered by the Carpenter brothers, it became more popular.

"This can't go on like this! You have to sing, sing loudly. One person's voice has to be louder than all of their voices." Dugarry stopped and whispered in Janis's ear.

"I-I'm too nervous, I'm sorry!"

Janice felt sorry, ashamed of herself for being nervous and timid. She was determined to sing loudly later.

The guitar sounded again, and it was still the same song. Dugarry opened his mouth with a few lyrics, and Janis quickly followed up.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when the sky is dark with clouds. My dear, you have never understood how much I love you. Please don't take away my sunshine if your words As always, I will always love you and make you happy. But if you leave me and fall in love with someone else, you will regret all those times together..."

Janice's voice may have been a little quiet at first, but as she started singing, it got louder and louder. Soon, people noticed their two street performers.

Her singing voice may not be outstanding, but her voice is loud and able to change other people's voices in an environment with so many people.

Gradually, more and more people gathered around them. People passing by would look here, no matter what they were doing or not.

Soon someone took out the coins and read UU www. uukanshu.net was thrown into the open guitar case in front of them. One, two, three….

Dugarry started singing along with Giannis, but soon he found that his voice was completely covered by Giannis's voice. In the end, he never sang, but concentrated on playing his guitar well.

The songs they sang were all very popular songs, mostly Carpenter songs. As long as Dugarry plays, Janis can keep up, as if there is no song she can't sing.

When Janis gets tired of singing, Dugarry will play and sing to herself, letting her take a break. After a few hours, they counted the money in the guitar case and found that there were more than 20 US dollars. It seemed that many of the people who came to the concert were not short of money. They were very generous with their money, ranging from a few cents to a dollar or two.

"Haha, I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich!"

Dugarry didn't expect the effect to be so good. He only earned 20 US dollars in half a day.

Janis also felt a little excited. This was the first time she had made money through singing, and she could still make so much. When I used to work for others, my weekly salary was only US$15.

She said in a hoarse voice: "Then let's continue singing in the afternoon?"

"You sound very uncomfortable. Can your voice hold up?"

After Dugarry reminded him, Janis felt as if there was a lump of phlegm in his throat, accompanied by a burning sensation. She didn’t think it was a big problem and said, “Just drink some water and it’ll be fine!”
