"Do you want to learn piano?" I never knew Chen Ke had this hobby.

"Well, Dad, just stay overnight, I'll go with you tomorrow morning, okay?" Chen Ke was reluctant in her eyes, she liked the piano very much, but she was reluctant to let me go.

But I don't want to stay here anymore.

I couldn't stay for a moment if I was left like a joke.

"You want to learn piano, and when you start school, Dad will take you to find a piano training class, help you sign up, and go with Dad now. "I have already made a decision in my heart, Chen Ke will follow me after school starts tomorrow, and Chen Le will follow me.

The two children must be with me, and I don't feel at ease with Tong Wangjun.

I don't want my kids to call other men daddy.

"How can the training found outside be compared with the professional teacher?" Tong Wangjun said, "I have already found a school, and the tuition fee has been paid, and the name is fixed, 200,000 yuan a year, and the teacher is an old artist who has retired, and it took a lot of effort for her to agree to add another place." ”

"Two hundred thousand?" I thought I had misheard.

"200,000 yuan is not expensive, art has so much money, usually tens of thousands of yuan a year of training courses can not learn anything. Xu Heng said on the side.

I ignored Xu Heng at all and stared at Tong Wangjun: "Do you have so much money?"

There are two children in the family, even if Tong Wangjun earns 10,000 yuan a month, it is impossible for her to save 200,000 yuan in just a few years, not to mention that she still has to spend money.

"You don't have to worry about this, you don't have it, it doesn't mean that others don't have it, in the eyes of the rich, 200,000 is nothing at all, you can't give it to your child, I'll give it." Tong Wangjun said.

What she didn't have when she was young, it seems that she wants to make up for it in the child.

But this kind of compensation seems to me to be almost paranoid, and it is completely unnecessary.

Chen Ke is not ready to win the piano award, and he is not ready to learn Jay Chou or Lang Lang, he doesn't need to learn so deeply, as a hobby, just understand it a little.

"If you don't say it, I know, it's right for you to borrow it from him?" I pointed to Xu Heng, Tong Wangjun was able to take out 200,000 yuan for Chen Ke to learn piano, it must be the money that someone borrowed, and only Xu Heng had so much money to lend her.

She will only ask Xu Heng to borrow money.

"The tuition fee is indeed a bit expensive, but considering that the other party is an old artist, the money is also worth it, and if you want to develop in this area in the future, it can be of great benefit to study under the old artist. Xu Heng did not deny it, "Ah Ke is eight years old, these must be planned in advance, when he is old, his fingers are not flexible, his thinking can't keep up, and it's too late to learn." ”

"What about the aristocratic school?" I looked at Tong Wangjun, "why didn't you tell me about this?"

"I was going to tell you when school started, but now that I know, there are some procedures that you need to do, you have to sign, and you can go to the school to do it when the time comes. Tong Wangjun didn't explain to me, but just said a result.

"She's my daughter, can't you say hello to me and tell me when you're doing these things? Tong Wangjun's first cut and then play made me very unhappy, "Without that condition, what kind of aristocratic school does the scholar go to?"

"Your understanding is wrong, not all of them go to aristocratic schools are the children of wealthy families, and many of them are ordinary white-collar families. Xu Heng said, "Let children go to aristocratic schools not for comparison, but because the education model, teaching environment, and teachers of aristocratic schools are much stronger than public schools, and having a good environment will definitely help children's learning and growth." ”

Xu Heng came out from time to time to say something, which made me very unhappy, and my suppressed temper was finally ignited: "Ake is my daughter, what does it have to do with you, don't pretend to be a good person here, you have two money to pretend to be here, who do you think you are?"

Xu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed twice: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I just gave you an analysis, I didn't expect you to care so much." ”

"You don't have to worry about it. "I couldn't see Xu Heng's appearance, I thought he was pretentious, watching my jokes on the side.

"Can you control your emotions? Xu Heng is a guest. "Tong Wangjun blames me.

I squatted down and pulled Chen Ke: "Ake, go back with Dad, Dad will enroll you in piano classes when school starts, and let you learn piano." ”

I'm leaving, taking my daughter with me, I will never give my daughter to Tong Wangjun again.

"I have already paid the tuition, 200,000 yuan, and I can't get it back. Tong Wangjun said, "I have also set the piano, I can take it in half a month, everything is ready, Chen Jin, don't delay the child for your selfishness." ”

"Ake, are you going with your father?" I stared at Chen Ke.

"Ake, your mother has spent 200,000 yuan to find a teacher for you, and you can pass the school year, if you don't go, the 200,000 yuan can't be refunded. Xu Heng also followed.

Chen Ke was very entangled, his little face was full of struggle, he looked at me, and then at Tong Wangjun, not knowing how to decide.

Chen Ke looks like her mother, very beautiful, she must be a beauty when she grows up, her fingers are slender, maybe it is really material for piano practice, I didn't continue to urge her, and stood up.

"Dad. Chen Ke cried and pulled me.

"Dad will go back first, and you and Mom will go back together later. "My heart is tired.

I shouldn't have forced Chen Ke like this, there is nothing wrong with her, it's me who is wrong, I believe in Tong Wangjun too much, I think she is lonely, I think she is pitiful, but I didn't expect to be put together by her and Xu Heng.

There was nothing to be nostalgic about, so I carried my things and walked out the door.

Outside, the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

Chen Ke ran out, Tong Wangjun pulled her from behind, the two looked at me, I looked back at Chen Ke, waved my hand, stared at Tong Wangjun for a while, and left.

The road is very recognizable, out of the village is the main road, the street lights are on, the snowflakes drift under the street lights, one after another, I touched my pocket, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in my mouth, but when I went to touch the lighter, I didn't find it.

Carrying my luggage, my hands were exposed, numb and cold, I didn't care at all, and after a long walk away from the village, I went to the river and walked slowly along the canal.

It was useless to go to the county, the bus stopped at this point, and even if it didn't stop, I went to the city and didn't take the train.

Keep walking, snow keeps falling.

I walked under the bridge, shook off the snow from my body, found a clean place to sit down, and looked at the river quietly.

What is Tong Wangjun's purpose in doing this?

To humiliate me?

But I really couldn't think of why she humiliated me in such a way, and I took her back for a New Year's dinner, and ran to her house to tell her lies.

Is it because I yelled at her a few words when I stopped the quarrel, so she wanted to take revenge on me?

I don't know, I thought about it for a while and then I didn't think about it anymore, it doesn't matter, whatever the reason, it doesn't matter.

Staring at the canal, I suddenly felt an urge to go down and swim.

So that the water of this canal can freeze the depression in my heart, so that my suppressed anger will not burst because I have no place to vent.

I went to the river and looked down, and by the light I could see the gravel under the riverbed, it was not too deep, and the water in the canal was very clear, and I began to undress, and I took off my pants, and I didn't want to wear wet pants when I came up.

With an unlit cigarette in my mouth, I went down to the river, and the cold river water stimulated me into my pores, and goosebumps immediately spread all over my body, I didn't shrink my legs, I jumped straight down, and then the whole person was soaked in the river water.

Spit out the wet butt of my cigarette and grope slowly towards the center of the river.

This section of the river bed is shallow, and when I reach the middle, the river is not up to my chest, and I rub my body repeatedly, and the biting chill dispels the boredom in my heart.

As I washed, I suddenly came to my senses and shouted.

Suddenly, there was a shout from the shore, as if in response to me.

I can't hear it clearly, maybe it's someone who has been injured like me.

I ignored it and fell silent into the river.

The people on the shore were still shouting, and they were getting closer, and the voices were a little familiar.

I stood in the middle of the river, standing still, my eyes falling to the riverbank.

On the bank of the river, there was already a layer of snow, and a figure was staggering to the bottom of the bridge.

Under the street lamp, I saw a figure on the shore, was it Tong Wangjun?
