Chapter X

The river of time never stops, and sometimes there are reefs hidden under the seemingly calm waters, and I don't know when they will pop up.

During the summer vacation of my sophomore year, Xiao Meng sent a text message to ask me, "Yu Qiao, did you have something that you didn't accomplish when you were a child and regretted growing up?" I thought about it carefully and replied to her, "Piano!" So I practiced in the piano room throughout the vacation, and by the beginning of my junior year, I was already able to play several decent tunes.

In my junior year, I discovered more hobbies and fell in love with drawing. In this way, three months passed unconsciously, and a phone call completely broke the peace.

This call came from my mother, I will never forget that day, my mother's tone was at a loss, I had never heard her trembling and crying voice, "Yu Qiao, something happened to our family, your father suddenly vomited blood the day before yesterday, went to the hospital for examination and found that there was a liver problem and needed surgery, my mother should raise the operation fee as soon as possible, and you can figure out how to live for these two months." ”

I burst into tears, "My dad, how is my dad doing now?" Mom's sad voice came from the earpiece, "You have to operate as soon as possible, otherwise your life will be in danger!"

The phone fell to the ground with a "bang", and I couldn't hear what my mother said behind me, and it was dark in front of me for a while.

When I woke up, Wen Jin, Xiao Meng, and Peggy were all gathered in front of the bed, and they said that the head of the department had found me and asked my classmates to send me to the infirmary.

Wen Jin took a lunch box, "Yu Qiao, I packed a porridge for you, do you want to drink a little, you haven't eaten all night." ”

I said sadly, "I can't eat," and twisted my body to the side of the bed facing the wall, and tears flowed down my face. The three of them didn't know how to comfort me, and the atmosphere was terrible.

In the evening, when everyone went to self-study, I hid in the dormitory and refused to go out, and I couldn't help but cry when I thought about my father's illness.

I couldn't accept this fact, I don't know how much time my father had left with me, I hadn't married yet, my father hadn't sent me to marry yet, and he couldn't just leave me.

I suddenly made up my mind that I would help my mother raise the cost of the surgery, and even if there was a glimmer of hope, I would not give up. I want my dad to live well! Since I was a child, because I am an only child, I have never been worried about money, if it were not for this accident, I may still be living my carefree life, but now, I have to go through the trials and tribulations of life and bear the burden of life.

The first thing to solve is the problem of surgery fees, which requires more than 200,000 yuan in total, and the family does not have so much savings. My mother took out all the savings and borrowed some of them, and there was still a gap of 30,000 yuan. She wants to mortgage the house to take out a loan, I don't agree, this is our home, if the mortgage is lost, there will be no more.

Peggy and Meng Wenjin heard about me, and they gave me their living expenses, but I couldn't ask for their money at all.

I want to find a part-time job, but I have classes during the day, and I can only do part-time after 5 p.m., and there are many boutiques outside the school to recruit shopping guides, but they don't accept them if they only have time at night like me. I was so anxious that I couldn't help it, thinking of my father, who was seriously ill in bed, tears flowed down my eyes.

Just then, a flyer handed me by and handed me a job posting that read, "Oriental Club is looking for pianists, salary is paid daily." There is also a phone number left on it, and there is no other way in a hurry but to call and ask.

When I dialed it, it was a man's voice who told me to play the piano at the bar, which itself doesn't pay me and depends on the customer's tip. However, since I am a student, they can provide an apartment accommodation for the convenience of the performance, so I can stay in the city at night and rush back to class during the day.

I was afraid that Xiaomeng and the others would be worried, so I told everyone that I had a part-time job in the city, and sometimes I didn't live in the dormitory at night, and asked them to help me talk to the counselor. Xiaomeng asked me worriedly, if there was something else to hide from them, I needed money to tell them, don't wronged yourself. I hugged the three of them tightly and said I was fine, really fine.

The first day of work in the bar was quite smooth, because the Oriental Club is a relatively high-end entertainment club in Yicheng, the guests who came were basically more qualified, there were five guests who wanted to listen to me play music that night, I received a total of six rose boxes, the price of each rose box is 300, except for the pianist who can get 240.

After the first day of work, I went back to the bachelor apartment prepared for me at the bar, it was already half past two in the morning, I closed my eyes tiredly, and then had a long, long dream, in which there was Li Kai, my father, my mother, and a mysterious man with his back to me, and I couldn't see his face.

The next night was still peaceful, but because it was Monday, the bar business was not very good, and there were very few people listening to piano music.

When I went out of the door, I found that there were three unread text messages on my phone, the first one was my mother's, "Yu Qiao, your father has woken up, there is no danger for the time being, don't read it!" The second one is Wen Jin's, "Yu Qiao, where are you?" You haven't been back to the dormitory for two days, don't let us worry about a text message, okay?" The third one is Xiao Meng's, "Yu Qiao, you can call back when you see the text message, if there is any difficulty, our sisters will carry it together." Didn't you say that there are sisters in difficulty?"

I couldn't hold back anymore when I saw the text message, and at one o'clock in the morning at the door of the Oriental Club in Yicheng, I cried loudly, and for the first time, I could cry out happily regardless of the image and the eyes of passers-by.

On Tuesday night, I took a leave of absence from the bar owner to go back to school to see my sisters. Back in the dormitory, Wen Jin, Xiao Meng, and Peggy gave me a big bear hug as if they hadn't seen me in a century, and we all tacitly agreed not to say anything, Peggy stroked my hair, "Everything will be fine!" she said.

Business at the Oriental Club on Wednesday was good, almost all the booths were full, and by less than 11 o'clock I had already received ten rose boxes.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, a few people came in, and Mr. Luo, the owner of the Oriental Club, personally greeted him and led the guests to a luxury box, which was very close to the stage, but the secrecy was very good, and the people sitting inside could observe every move outside, but the people outside could not see the movement inside.

What can make Mr. Luo so respectful must not be an ordinary person. It was just a glance at me, and I had a conclusion in my mind.

Just then, a drunken guest walked up to the stage with a wine glass. He propped one hand on the piano, and the other hand held a wine glass, and the smell of tobacco and alcohol all over his body made me want to vomit.

"Come, beauty, I toast you, you've worked hard!" he staggered and staggered. I shouted in my heart that it was not good, and I met a drunkard, so I got up cautiously and distanced myself backwards. "This gentleman, you're drunk, I'll call the waiter to help you!"

He suddenly grabbed my arm and put his other hand holding the wine glass around my neck, "If you don't drink, you won't give me face!"

At that moment, my parents' faces suddenly appeared in my mind, and I don't know where the strength came from, and I pushed him away, but he fell to the ground without standing firmly, and the wine spilled all over his body.

He struggled to get up from the ground in a rage, "Stinky girl, I think you are shameless, I have to let you drink it today." ”

The noise here has already attracted a group of people who are gathered around to watch the excitement, and naturally the people in the box have also noticed the movement here.

Suddenly, a male voice came out of the box, "Who's over there?"

Just then, I thought I was going to fall to the ground and hit my face, when a pair of arms caught me. The first thing I saw was a pair of black men's BV leather shoes, and then I looked up and saw a face that I will never forget in my life. His eyebrows and eyes seemed familiar, and a poem came to my mind, "I am fortunate to know Qing's peach blossom noodles, and since Qianmo has been warm." ”

At this time, Mr. Luo walked over quickly, "Feng Shao, what happened to alarm you?"

"The drunk bullies the little girl, and the security guards in your bar are all vegetarians?" Feng Shao raised his eyes and glared at Mr. Luo, with some displeasure in his eyes.

Mr. Luo hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, yes", and then shouted at the security guard next to him, "Why are you still stunned? Why don't you clear the scene quickly, didn't understand Feng Shao's words?" The two security guards hurriedly dragged the drunk man to the outside of the gate.

At this time, Mr. Luo said with a smile, "I'm sorry everyone, the little episode just now disturbed everyone's Yaxing, I gave everyone here a fruit plate, everyone had fun!"

Feng Shao pointed at me and said to Mr. Luo, "This girl has just been frightened, so I'll give her 50 flower boxes, don't let her play the piano, come and sit and chat with me!"

Mr. Luo hurriedly said, "Yes, Yu Qiao, why are you still stunned? Thank you Feng Shao!"

I didn't react for a while, and looked at him a little blankly, "Thank you Fengshao!".

I accompanied Feng Shao into the box, and there were a few other people in the box, who were all young like Feng Shao, but they should not be small, because Mr. Luo was also very polite to them.

Feng Shao pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit!" I sat down on the sofa next to him, keeping a certain distance. It's my habit that when I meet strangers, I'll always sit in a relatively safe area.

Mr. Luo picked up an empty bullet cup from the side, and there were several bottles of "Royal Salute" on the table, Mr. Luo poured a full cup, "Feng Shao, Mr. Tan, Mr. Qin, if you don't take care of it, I will punish myself with a cup." ”

Feng Shao picked up a Cartier lighter from the table, slowly lit a cigarette, "It's okay, Lao Luo, you go and get busy first!

Mr. Luo nodded and glanced back at me, "Yu Qiao, talk less with Feng, don't sit stupidly." "I don't know how to answer.

At this time, Feng Shao said, "It's okay, I'll drive her back in a while!
