Chapter 14: Past Failures

Looking at his sister's crying appearance, Chen Rui felt a sudden pain in his heart, took his sister into his arms, smelled the faint fragrance on her hair, Chen Rui asked, "Tell my brother, what is going on?" ”

Xiaowei raised her head and looked at Chen Rui, feeling guilty: "Brother, I actually want to buy a piano." ”

Hearing this, Chen Rui's heart was shocked.

Sister Chen Weiwei has a very high talent in music, she had a strong interest in musical instruments at a very young age, in the year she was ten years old, Chen Rui saved money, and finally bought her a Carrod piano as a birthday gift on Chen Xiaowei's tenth birthday.

Chen Rui will always remember the happy and happy smile on his sister's face when she saw the piano.

However, when that incident was over, all the valuable things in the house were pawned off, including the Carrod piano.

Chen Rui was not present when the piano was sold, otherwise he would not have let people take away his sister's beloved beloved item anyway, that piano was her dream and her musical hope.

Now that the family is in dire straits, a father who drinks heavily all day is squandering the rest of his decadent life, and his mother is guarding a commissary, supporting her two children in high school with hard work, where will there be spare money to buy a luxury such as a piano.

Chen Rui remembers very well that the price of the Carold piano was 29,008.

Not to mention 30,000, even if Chen Rui's family is asked to take out 3,000 at once, it is not a simple matter.

Chen Rui can understand her sister very well, Xiaowei has been a very sensible girl since she was a child, she doesn't want to add any burden to the already poor family, and she doesn't want her mother to feel a little guilty, just silently use her free time to save money, the purpose is to get closer to her music dream.

However, as a female student in the first year of high school, how long will it take to save up to be able to afford a piano of her own? After all, the price of that Carrod piano is not low.

Chen Rui gently patted Xiaowei's head and said softly: "You are a little child, you don't have to carry this burden alone, there is a brother!" Don't worry, brother promised you, I will definitely buy you another piano, and just leave it to us men to do this kind of thing! ”

Chen Weiwei looked at Chen Rui's swearing-like words on his chest, the tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed, and she threw herself into Chen Rui's arms with a "wow".

"Brother"

"Don't worry, I will definitely earn money to buy you a piano!" Chen Rui hugged Xiaowei, looked at the sky in the distance, and said word by word

As soon as Chen Rui opened the door of his house, he saw that the narrow living room was cluttered, the tables and chairs were lying aside, and there were a lot of glass shards on the mottled floor.

"What's going on at home?" Chen Weiwei saw the scene of her home as if it had been ransacked, covered her mouth, and looked at this qiē in disbelief.

Chen Rui's face was gloomy, and he pulled Xiaowei to carefully avoid the glass shards on the ground, so as not to be cut, and came to the bedroom with the door covered, and vaguely heard intermittent sobbing from the room.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Taking advantage of the dim light in the room, Chen Weiwei saw He Xiangman curled up in a corner, her clothes were disheveled, her hair was hanging on her face, her tears were still there, her eyes were full of bloodshots, and her dejected appearance made Chen Weiwei's heart ache.

Chen Weiwei stepped forward and squatted down, gently wiped away the tears on He Xiangman's face, bit her lip tightly, and held back to prevent the tears from falling, she already understood what was happening.

In the room filled with the smell of wine, Chen Rui had a gloomy face, looking at the man who spread out his hands and feet, lying on the bed unscrupulously, snoring and making ugly snoring sounds.

"Mom, get up!" Chen Rui stepped forward and helped He Xiangman to the living room with Chen Weiwei, Chen Weiwei brought a glass of water and handed it to He Xiangman's hand.

"You're back, I'm going to cook for you." He Xiangman brushed his somewhat messy hair, sorted out his mood, and got up.

At this time, Chen Rui saw the clearly visible slap mark on his mother's right face.

"This bastard!" Chen Rui immediately became angry and ran into the bathroom.

"Son, what are you going to do?" Seeing Chen Rui walking out of the bathroom with a bucket of water, He Xiangman stepped forward and grabbed Chen Rui.

Chen Rui ignored his mother's obstruction, walked straight into the room, and poured a bucket of cold water on the bed.

"Whew!"

"Wow, who's impatient!"

The drunk man lying on the bed in the room was Chen Rui's father, Chen Tianhong, who was poured down by a bucket of water, Chen Tianhong woke up from a sweet dream, sat up and looked around, and saw Chen Rui who was carrying an empty bucket and treating him coldly.

Seeing that it was his son, Chen Tianhong was stunned for a moment, and then continued to fall asleep, not caring at all about the wet clothes sticking to his body.

"Get out!" Chen Rui stepped forward and directly grabbed Chen Tianhong's bare feet and dragged him off the bed.

"Poof", Chen Tianhong's head slammed on the floor, and after he let out a muffled snort, he suddenly got up and slapped his hand, but he didn't hear the expected slap.

I saw Chen Rui's right hand tightly grasping Chen Tianhong's wrist, making him unable to move for half a minute.

"Let go! It's the other way around, my son dares to bully Lao Tzu! Chen Tianhong scolded, his body hollowed out by alcohol in the past few years made him unable to confront Chen Rui, who was already taller than himself, head-on, and after pulling a few times and still couldn't withdraw his hand, Chen Tianhong couldn't help but be a little angry,

"Are you worthy to be my father?" Chen Rui gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Why is Lao Tzu not worthy to be your father? It was Lao Tzu who gave birth to you and raised you, which of the brand-name clothes you wore a few years ago was not given by Lao Tzu, and now do you feel that Lao Tzu is embarrassed, so you dare to rebel against the sky? The shaky Chen Tianhong scolded.

"White-eyed wolf, when Lao Tzu was rich in the past, he recognized Lao Tzu, but now that Lao Tzu has no money, you are also like them, all of you fall into the well?" Chen Tianhong gritted his teeth and pushed Chen Rui away.

"It's not a question of money or not!" Chen Rui roared: "Look at what you look like now, people are not ghosts, you live with alcohol all day long, and you can escape a qiē!" After experiencing failure, he is so depressed and willing to fall!

In addition to drinking, you are beating your wife, are you worthy of being a father and a husband? Don't let me look down on you, even I know that you can get up from where you fall, instead of sinking like this all the time, you will only harm others and yourself.

Look at what this family has become like because of you, look at what my mother has become for you, for this family! It's not that I don't recognize you, it's that you don't dare to admit your past failures. ”

"Hmph, that's nice, bastard, get out of the way!" Without waiting for Chen Rui to finish speaking, Chen Tianhong kicked Chen Rui in the stomach.

Seeing Chen Rui fall to the ground, He Xiangman ran forward crying, hugged Chen Rui, and said to Chen Tianhong: "If you want to beat me, don't beat my son, he didn't do anything wrong." ”

"Dad, don't fight" Chen Weiwei was also frightened, and hurriedly hugged Chen Tianhong's arm and cried.

"Get out of the way!" Chen Tianhong was unmoved, pushed Chen Weiwei to the ground, walked out of the room to the living room, picked up a bottle of Lao Baigan "Gugu" and drank two sips.

"Son, are you alright?" After Chen Rui was kicked down, the corner of his mouth accidentally hit the table leg, and at this time it was already dripping with blood, He Xiangman was distressed and wanted to help his son wipe away the blood.

Feeling the fishy sweetness in his mouth, Chen Rui slowly got up, helped Chen Weiwei, who was crying silently, and then walked to the living room and grabbed Chen Tianhong's collar suddenly.

Chen Tianhong was caught off guard and was dragged down, because the collar was caught, and now he is thin, he struggled to be dragged out of the door by Chen Rui.

"Bang!" The anti-theft door was slammed shut, and Chen Tianhong was thrown out of the door by Chen Rui.

"Stinky boy! I'm going to beat you to death! Chen Tianhong angrily hammered the iron door and yelled.

Chen Rui glanced at his father silently, closed the wooden door with his backhand, and after a while, the movement outside the door was much smaller, perhaps too tired, and he could only hear Chen Tianhong's heavy gasp.

"Chen Tianhong! Whether you want to sink like this or not, I just hope you don't harm this family anymore, I don't have any ability right now, but I swear here, I will protect my mother and sister from getting hurt in the slightest, even if you can't!

Everyone has something to protect, and this is the home I want to protect. I never said that I didn't recognize you as my father, but now you are really not worthy of being my father, since you can't pick up the burden of the family, let me come.

I don't know very well what kind of failures you have experienced, I only know that no matter how many thorns and setbacks there are, you need to face them yourself, and life is just to be born and live, the difference is what kind of life you will choose. Since you choose to do this, I won't say anything more, I'll just live on my own terms! Even if there is failure, failure will not break me, it will only make me stronger and stronger, this is the difference between me and you! ”

Chen Rui leaned against the door, and he didn't know if Chen Tianhong was listening, but he slowly narrated.

He Xiangman looked at Chen Rui, the tip of his nose was sour, tears slipped down again, Chen Weiwei threw herself into Chen Rui's arms, crying in the dark, Chen Rui stretched out his right hand, took He Xiangman into his arms, and said softly: "Mom, sister, I will always guard you for a lifetime!" ”

Feeling that solid arm, He Xiangman suddenly felt for a moment that his son had really grown up, no longer a fledgling nestled in his arms, but became his own dependence.

"Well, I believe my brother." Chen Weiwei nodded heavily.

"Ahh

At this time, Chen Tianhong's heart-rending cry sounded outside the door.

When He Xiangman opened the security door, he could no longer see Chen Tianhong's figure, only the bloodstained fist marks left on the wall.

Since this day, Chen Tianhong has disappeared without a trace, as if the world has evaporated, just after He Xiangman wanted to post a missing person notice, but unexpectedly received a message from Chen Tianhong, only three words: I'm sorry.
