Chapter 40: Mother and Child Run Away from Home
Pei Lingxi finally filled in science, but every day when he walked in school, he would wear headphones to listen to music, even if he only had one day off every week, he would practice singing at home, even if his father heard it, he didn't care anymore, he just thought that this was his specialty for future college life.
It wasn't until the winter vacation in the first semester of high school that Pei Lingxi was watching the replay of Jay last week's concert on the computer in the room, when Wei's mother knocked on the door and walked in with a fruit bowl.
"You're watching a concert?"
Wei Mu walked up to him, placed the fruit bowl on the table in front of him, and sat down on the bed behind him.
"Well, I didn't get a chance to see the scene, so I watched the replay on the computer." Pei Lingxi picked up the apple on the plate and ate it into his stomach.
Wei Mu looked at the picture of the concert and said with some hesitation: "Hmm...... Didn't you once say you wanted to be a singer? ”。
Pei Lingxi spit out the nucleus and threw it into the trash can beside her, and replied to her: "Yes, but doesn't Dad disagree?" ”
"So you ...... now Still have this idea? Mother Wei's lips were a little pale.
Pei Lingxi didn't know what his mother meant by saying this, so he paused the video, turned the swivel chair to his mother beside the bed, and looked at her intently.
"What if I say I still have this idea?"
Wei Mu held his hand, raised her head to meet his gaze and said with a smile: "Then sign up for the art class!" Go and learn music. ”
Pei Lingxi felt that he had heard it wrong, he never thought that his mother would agree to learn music by himself, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
He confirmed to her in a somewhat trembling voice, "Mom, I heard me right, right? You...... Agree with me...... Got music learned? ”
Wei Mu nodded, and Pei Lingxi was even more excited.
"That'...... So what did my dad say? Does he agree? ”
As if she had mustered up a lot of courage, Wei Mu said to him: "It's okay, I'll go and discuss with your father, you just need to study music hard." ”
Pei Lingxi hugged her mother happily, and said in a trembling voice: "Mom, thank you, thank you for supporting my dream." ”
Wei Mu patted him lightly on the back and said to him a little weakly, "Ahem...... I just feel that my son has the right to choose what he loves. ”
/
"No! Absolutely not! Pei's father in the study angrily buckled the book on the desk.
Wei's mother stood at the desk, frightened by his anger, and took a few steps back, but she didn't back down and still asked for her son's rights.
"Lingxi has always followed the route you planned for him, completing the task you gave him, have you asked him if he is willing, have you ever cared if he is happy?"
Father Pei stood up angrily, crossed his hands on his hips and said angrily: "He is my son, he is here to inherit my business, I will provide him with food and clothing, I will give him whatever he wants, what else is he unhappy about, other children want to live well and dress well, what?" What else is he not satisfied with? ”
"But he is also my child, I have to support him if he wants to learn music, I don't want him to ...... in the future Regret not sticking to your dreams. ”
At this moment, Wei Mu's tears were already rolling in her eyes......
"What music to learn? Do you think I don't know that you used to teach him to sing at home every weekend? I asked the teacher, I said that this child learns well, why did he start singing at home every day, he was all brought bad by you, I thought you were just teaching and cultivating a hobby, this is good, you really plan to train him to become a professional singer, right? That's how you want your son to step into that dirty entertainment industry? Become an inferior person who is entertained by others? I don't have that face. ”
Wei Mu was hurt by the last words he said, an inferior person for entertainment? She felt a little out of breath in her chest, she covered her chest, and was about to fall backwards, Pei Lingxi, who was eavesdropping outside the door, rushed into the study and ran over to catch her mother.
Pei Lingxi saw his mother lying on top of him weakly, with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, and shouted angrily at his father: "Pei-you-wai!" What is an inferior person for entertainment! Since you dislike people in the entertainment industry so much, why do you want to marry my mother, and why do you want to stop her from continuing to be a singer! Why! ”
"Look at how your son talks to his dad? How dare you call your full name? You're really a kid for me. Father Pei angrily raised his trembling hand and pointed at Wei Ru.
"Shut up! Don't point your disgusting finger at my mom! You don't deserve to be a father, you just treat your relatives as pawns in your hands, you never care about our feelings, the most selfish person is you! ”
Father Pei looked at his son looking at him like an enemy, and his heart was even colder, and he said coldly:
"Good! I don't deserve to be a father? Then you don't want to use my money again! ”
Pei Lingxi supported his mother and said in a hard tone to Pei's father: "No, no, Mom, let's go!" Get out of this home. ”
Wei Ru regained her strength and said in a trembling voice to Father Pei: "Giving up being a singer in order to marry you is the most regrettable thing I have ever done in my life. I ...... to you It's really disappointing, you'll always be ...... So selfish, this time ...... I will never let you ...... Ruining my son's dreams again. ”
After speaking, he pulled his son out.
Father Pei shouted angrily behind him: "Very good! I won't give you a penny if you leave this home! Absolutely not! ”

A month later, Wei Ru found Pei Lingxi a key high school with music and art classes, and she wanted her son to be admitted to an excellent conservatory. And she also used the money she saved from her work to rent a small apartment in the community near the school for him to go to school.
But after all, learning music, rent and living things are not easy for the two who are used to a rich life, only 100,000 yuan is left after only one year, what will they do when they go to college in the future! Since my mother left the music restaurant, she couldn't find any other job that suited her, and no one wanted to be a resident singer of this age.
Wei's mother sat at home and looked at the bank card in her hand with some worry, and happened to meet Pei Lingxi who was coming home from school, she immediately covered the bank card, and smiled at him with a smile to hide her worry: "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
"Oh, I'll get my guitar."
Pei Lingxi returned to the bedroom and took out the guitar he bought to practice singing, stopped when he walked out the door, turned around and walked to his mother's side and sat down.
"Mom, I know that with the money you saved, I can't support my future college expenses, didn't I find a part-time resident singer in a Qing bar before? The boss thinks that I have a good image and sing well, and has decided to let me go there to sing every night, and my daily salary has risen to 300 yuan, which can not only maintain my daily expenses, but also save a little money! Then I can take a lot of the burden off of you! ”
Pei Lingxi comforted his mother like this, but the fact is that his salary did rise to 300, but he couldn't go every day, he just wanted his mother not to worry.
When Wei Ru heard that his son could make a lot of money every day, he let go of his hanging heart, but then began to worry about his son's body.
"That's good, but you don't have to get too tired, you know? Pay more attention to the rest of the throat. ”
"It's okay, I love singing so much, I won't feel tired no matter how I sing, I'll go first!" Pei Lingxi smiled at her mother, turned around and walked out of the door.
