Chapter 237: I'll Teach You to Sing
Xiao Tingting sang very devotedly with her eyes closed, she liked this song very much, and the lyrics were like they were written for her.
Since my father was bedridden, the family's situation has plummeted, and in order to pay for the huge medical bills, the family house has been sold, and a large amount of famine is owed.
A few years later, her mother had a nervous breakdown and left a letter, and she has not been heard from since, and Xiao Tingting was only nine years old that year.
Later, her father also died, and she could only rely on her grandparents for her life, and in order to repay the huge debt, the two old people could only make a living by collecting waste every day.
Although life was difficult at that time, Xiao Tingting was very competitive, not only with excellent academic performance, but also very sensible, and would follow her grandparents to collect waste every holiday.
Later, after a long period of fatigue and malnutrition, my grandfather couldn't afford to get sick, and died soon after, and then my grandmother also fell ill and collapsed in bed and never got up.
Xiao Tingting, who is about to usher in the high school entrance examination, can only drop out of school, and when she is young, she not only has to take care of her grandmother who is sick in bed, but also has to drag a cart every day and collect waste products everywhere to maintain the family's livelihood.
Sixteen years old was the same as flowers, but the bitter experience, with her growing up, the life of poverty also made her appreciate the hardships of life early and began to bear the burden of life.
A sixteen-year-old girl, in the face of such a tragic situation, in addition to choosing to be strong and silently endure, what else can she do.
Xiao Tingting sang and sang, and poured her emotions into the song, and before she knew it, she was already in tears.
Li Dong played the guitar, looking at this thin girl, his heart fluctuated.
Although he didn't know what this thin girl had been through, he could hear a lot of things from her singing that she shouldn't have to endure at her age.
Emotion is the soul of the song, if there is no emotion in the song, even if there is a natural voice and singing skills against the sky, the song can only be pale and boring.
Some people can't empathize with even if they sing well, that's because he has no experience, and the artistic conception of the song is imagined by him out of thin air, of course, it can't resonate with the audience.
And some people as long as they open their voices, there is a story in the song, even if there is no hoarse shout, no grief performance, even if it is a soft chant, it can still shock people's hearts and make your liver tremble.
Now this girl has perfectly interpreted her emotions through singing, a song that originally had a faint warmth, but Li Dong heard the desolation of vicissitudes, helpless sadness, and persistent strength.
At this moment, the streets in the evening, the hurried flow of people, the whizzing cars, disappeared in an instant.
Li Dong presented another picture in his mind, on the street on a cold winter night, a lonely and helpless girl, she smiled and shed tears, facing the cold wind silently, and the dim street lamp stretched her back so long.
It wasn't until the girl finished singing the song that Li Dong struck the spirit violently and woke up from the atmosphere of the song.
Li Dong shook his head vigorously, and looked at the girl in front of him with great shock, this girl is amazing.
How old is she to be able to sing a song with this kind of taste, Li Dong has lived for two lifetimes, but he has never seen a few singers in this realm.
Although his realm is already very high now, it is his decades of accumulation, as well as the experience of reincarnation and rebirth, which made him relive, plus a few coincidences, to break through to today's realm.
Not only him, but also a dozen passers-by also stopped, standing there and listening to this moving song.
After Xiao Tingting finished singing, she opened her eyes and saw so many people standing around, she was a little scared and became overwhelmed.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
I don't know who was the first to applaud, and then everyone slapped hard, and the scene was very enthusiastic for a while.
A middle-aged man in his forties took out a large bill from his arms, walked over and stuffed the money into her hand, and then patted her on the shoulder.
"It's so good to sing, come on......"
Xiao Tingting heard the tears flowing, she quickly stood up and bowed deeply to the other party.
Everyone else also took out money one after another and stuffed it into Xiao Tingting's hands, which caught her off guard, so she could only keep bowing and thanking these people.
Until everyone left, Xiao Tingting had not woken up from her confusion.
She glanced at the money in her hand, the large and small bills added together, there were two or three hundred yuan, and it was the first time she had received so much money when she was so big, and it even made her think that she was living in a dream.
Xiao Tingting wiped her eyes, thought for a while, and then handed the money in her hand to Li Dong behind the fence.
Li Dong smiled and said, "What are you doing with the money you earn from singing......
"I ...... I sang your songs, and you helped me accompani, I can't ask for this money......"
"Silly girl, if you sing very well, people will give you money, put it away......"
Xiao Tingting heard a flash of joy on her face, and then folded the money in her hand one by one and carefully put it in her pocket.
Li Dong glanced at the trolley next to him, then at the clothes the girl was wearing, and thought for a while: "Do you like to sing?"
Xiao Tingting nodded heavily, and then said, "I like ......"
"Then I'll teach you how to sing......"
After listening to Li Dong's words, Xiao Tingting raised her head, looked at Li Dong in disbelief, and then lowered her head again.
"I ...... I don't have the money to teach the tuition ......"
Li Dong couldn't help but pinch her heart when she heard this, this stupid girl is not like a child of her age, not to mention her mature mind, she may have a perennial inferiority complex, which also makes her have a strong self-esteem.
"As long as you promise me one thing, I don't want your tuition, and I can teach you to play the guitar. ”
Xiao Tingting listened, and subconsciously gave birth to a trace of vigilance in her heart, she raised her head and looked at Li Dong quietly.
The hardships of life since she was a child and the poverty of her family have made her see too much warmth and coldness of the world, Xiao Tingting does not believe that there is a free lunch in this world.
"What do you want me to do......"
Li Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, how can I tell you...... By the way, I want you to go to a singing contest because I made a bet with someone else that my chosen one would win. ”
Xiao Tingting hesitated for a long time before nodding.
Looking at the girl's expression, Li Dong was a little sad, but he didn't want to ask the other party's life experience, and when she wanted to say it, she would naturally tell him.
"Do you have a phone?"
Seeing the other party shaking his head, Li Dong was a little worried, but the girl took out a notebook and pen from her pocket and handed them over.
Li Dong smiled bitterly, and then wrote his phone number on it.
"If you come to the hospital tomorrow to find me, just call this number, and I'll go down to pick you up......"
