Chapter 36: Suffering
The two of them talked wildly, whimsically, and happily, and then they discussed a more profound question, about Beethoven's wild words-----I will take fate by the throat, it will not bring me to my knees!"
Born in a poor family in country D, he studied music with his father since he was a child, and showed his musical talent very early, began to perform on stage at the age of 8, and at the age of 17--- Engting sponsored him to go to Werna to listen to philosophy, that is, at this time he had a brief contact with Mozart, and at the age of 22, he went to Vi---enne, the capital of music, for further study at the age of 22 under the guidance of Haydn, and made rapid progress in art.
This genius-like figure, at the age of 26, his hearing began to weaken, he was deaf in middle age, and fate was so unfair to him, but he transcended his disability, choked the throat of fate, and created one immortal work after another, the most famous of which is --- "Moonlight Song", "Ninth Symphony"!
And what they are arguing about is---- did Beethoven triumph over fate, or did fate make Beethoven do it?
Discussion and arguments, and finally found that it is really not a matter of a few words to have a conclusion, and there are a lot of indescribable things in this world, but they can only be understood but not spoken, I am afraid that I will meet a certain master hidden in the city in the future, so I can wake up!
Back to school, there was a very interesting thing, this Gu Yihui, actually every day between classes to sell ballpoint pens, at the beginning, no one believed him, and even some of them blasted him out, but, his consistent spirit of perseverance, seems to be indomitable, finally, Shi Tianxiong did the first person to eat crabs, bought ten at once, kept a few for himself, and distributed the rest to the Li Donglin brothers, and he was a good person to do it to the end, and publicized him everywhere, saying that this ballpoint pen is strong and easy to use, not afraid of falling, and the refill is also durable, buy ballpoint pen in an endless stream, one after another, just right, this ballpoint pen is not a defective product, it is really easy to use, all of a sudden caused a situation of short supply----, it only took a week in the middle!
~ Then, one night, just as Gu Yihui was about to walk out of the door with a tattered schoolbag on his back, a fat big hand blocked his sight and way, and the owner of the hand said: "Gu Yihui, I, Shi Tianxiong, have helped you so much, you have made a lot of money in just one week, what's the matter, don't you invite our brothers to rub it?"
Gu Yihui turned his head and saw the playful smiling face of the big black bear, although he was embarrassed, because he had to take back the money he earned to pay his father's medical expenses, but ----, it was indeed Shi Tianxiong who helped a lot to earn money, otherwise it would not be possible to be so fast----, when he was in a dilemma, Li Donglin came over and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Yihui, Tianxiong is joking with you, he is that kind of character, I see that you rushed home in a hurry after school, is there something at home that urgently needs money?" Gu Yihui's personality since he was a child has been relatively wooden and not good at words, but he is very strong in his bones, at least until now, no matter how difficult the family encounters, he has never accepted the seemingly well-intentioned charity of others!
What he didn't expect was that no one in the class took the initiative to take care of him, this Li Donglin was very good at reading other people's thoughts, understanding other people's difficulties----, and hearing that Li Donglin meant that he regarded himself as a friend!
"Donglin, I didn't go out with you before ----,, it's my fault, but I do have something unspeakable, I came a month later than you, time is a race against time for me, because I played a package ticket with the head teacher, and the exam is guaranteed to be in the top five, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it then, and the teacher won't let me go to school!" Besides, you have helped me publicize and sell this ballpoint pen for a week, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart, I am not a heartless person, I am not capable now, but, in the future, I promise, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay you for your kindness to me Gu Yihui!@"
"Hahahaha, Gu Yihui, Gu Yihui, I didn't expect you to say so many things at once, I thought you were a stuffy gourd, oil and salt don't enter! Listen to your words, it's indeed --- excusable, you have to thank me, don't thank me, this is Donglin's idea, I'm just a practitioner!" Tianxiong continued.
"Tianxiong, don't be modest, can't you do this thing without you?" Who doesn't know in this town No. 1 Middle School, who doesn't know, now you Shi Tianxiong is this ---!" said and gave him a thumbs up proudly, Tianxiong grinned proudly and laughed, quite useful!
"Donglin, Tianxiong, since you treat me as a friend, I will tell you the truth, this time there is no shame or shame, my family----, since I can remember, has been very poor, how poor is it, can you imagine, I have never worn a new dress, my father went outside to pick up other people's throwaways, or did not wear old clothes, when others ate white flour steamed buns, in my family's stove pot, the most cooked is only --- wild vegetable paste! In order to let me go to elementary school, my father dragged his sick body and worked for the principal's family for a year of farm work, tired of his old problem of lumbar muscle strain, and could no longer straighten his waist---- because we couldn't afford to pay the tuition! There is also a five or six-year-old sister at home, a girl, so old, but she has never worn a girl's clothes, all of them are wearing the clothes I wore before, and she looks like she is yellow and thin every day! My father is 60 years old this year, and now he is sick, he has to take medicine every day, and he got tuberculosis again last month, and he has to cough for a long time at every turn!~As for my mother, others said that she was a madman, or a psychopath, who gave birth to me, and disappeared within two years, and my father spent all the money in the family and did not find it---------!
Li Donglin brothers, Tianxiong, listened to the tears in their eyes unconsciously turned, they have been subjected to such a cruel poor life since childhood??? Tianxiong is a veritable rich second generation, and poverty is not related to the ,,, Li Donglin brothers, although the family is not rich, but they have never lacked food and clothing, and there is no risk of frost, and they can wear new clothes during the New Year, occasionally their parents have some spare money, and they also give them to improve their food, and even buy toys! Have you ever thought that in this world, there are still people with such a miserable family background, and they have to worry about their families and the next meal every day??? Li Donglin stepped forward and hugged Gu Yihui's shoulder, and then Tianxiong also came over, Li Shuanglin couldn't help it first, and cried: "Yihui, in the future, you can rest assured, if we have a bite to eat, you will have a mouthful!"
"Shuanglin is right, today, I, Shi Tianxiong, will recognize another brother, and in the future, I will cover you!" said the big black bear! "Since we are brothers, then you can take us to your house to have a look----
Li Donglin said, Gu Yihui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said: " Donglin, I understand your kindness, I tell you this, not to win your sympathy, just to tell you my hardships, many times can not eat, drink and play like you, although I am only eleven years old now, but, the current situation of the family, I have to regard myself as a man, to support this family, this family will depend on me in the future, I also have to provide for my sister to go to school, poor people like us, if you don't study, what is the way out in the future! I hope you can understand me, as for going to my house, it's getting late today, another day, I have to go back to buy medicine for my father quickly, Gu Yihui thanked me in advance here---!
After speaking, he bowed deeply to the three of them, and then kicked a pair of cloth shoes with two holes in the soles of his feet, and ran quickly towards the school gate---!
