Chapter XII
Li Tifu walked at a fast pace that he didn't usually use, not to break off with his father, but only to think about the environment needed for peace of mind. I want to go to a place where no one is around, I want to be quiet, I want to comfort my broken heart.
Li Tifu thought about the whole incident today while walking, and really couldn't understand why his father, as his father, couldn't attend his own parent-teacher conference, and couldn't understand why he couldn't have time to attend a simple parent-teacher meeting, was it more important in the eyes of his father than his son's request? The more Li Tifu thought about it, the more angry he became.
Li Tifu likes to be alone since he was a child, no matter how happy he is, how pessimistic, how painful, he likes to laugh secretly and cry silently, which may be related to his usually lonely and introverted personality! Why suppress yourself, why hate others, go to a place where there is no one to cry happily, and vent the truest emotions in your heart, isn't it happy!! What a great way to vent.
Li Tifu likes to go to People's Park since he was a child, and the reason why Li Tifu likes it here is probably that there are no mocking eyes, no deceptive colors, and no pain caused by missing appointments, and there are just kind people like him who need inner peace and a little sense of belonging. The clear air and the isolated environment tell us the real environment and belonging brought by his embrace all the time. The hustle and bustle of the big city, the way of life that people are proud of, the repression of life disappears without a trace, replaced by all kinds of chatter, comfort, pleasant trekking, and the chirping of all kinds of birds, telling us their stories and the beautiful places they have been to all the time, and this feeling of isolation brings peace and tranquility to Li Tifu's soul every time.
The People's Park itself is a little far from the city, and it took Li Tifu a long time to get to the park. Arrived at the park, found a remote corner, and sat on a public seat. Everything that happened today kept coming to Li Tifu's mind, tormenting him. The more Li Tifu thought about it, the more he didn't understand, at this moment, he had an indescribable mixed taste in his heart. Li Tifu felt that this was his only chance to prove himself, and he was about to graduate from junior high school, so before leaving school, Li Tifu wanted to prove that he had a father and that he was not a "giant baby" in the mouth of his classmates. But the plan still can't keep up with the changes. This time's expectations, this time the opportunity was disappointed. Li Tifu was very disappointed, and the opportunity to prove himself was gone.
Li Tifu thought a lot, the ridicule at school, the father's failure and gap. What he didn't expect and didn't understand was that he had repeated many times that he must let his father participate, but his father still didn't take him seriously. Li Tifu thought about what happened to him, thought about his tragic experience, and shouted loudly, "Why?!" And this "why" kept echoing in Li Tifu's heart and mind.
Li Tifu put his mind down and decided not to think about this, and when he wanted to let go of this, it was almost dark unconsciously. Li Tifu stood up and sighed meaningfully, looked around, and then walked in the direction of home with a sad face. Looking closely, from Li Tifu's slow and heavy steps, it can be seen that the damage caused to Li Tifu by today's incident is unimaginable. Li Tifu just finally opened his heart and relaxed himself, and then told himself that he was "not worth it" to comfort himself.
Li Tifu walked down the street with heavy steps, no matter how magnificent the high-rise buildings, no matter how expensive the vehicles, the conversation that people felt was interesting could not attract Li Tifu's attention. Li Tifu was just immersed in his own conversation. After being ridiculed and isolated by his classmates, Li Tifu slowly learned his good skills of talking to himself and comforting himself. Although Li Tifu suffered a big blow today, Li Tifu also slowly persuaded himself with this good skill, and slowly comforted himself that 'this is all good'. Of course, Li Tifu has also been bullied, isolated, wronged, and slowly walked over in loneliness again and again, so for the current Li Tifu, even if the pain is heavy, as long as Li Tifu can be given enough time, Li Tifu can still slowly adjust his mentality and slowly accept it. The most important thing is that Li Tifu is used to it. Accustomed to being ridiculed, accustomed to being isolated, accustomed to loneliness. It's just that the pain brought by that moment will continue to torment Li Tifu, and then it will slowly subside.
Li Tifu slowly reconciled with himself in this way, and slowly explained to himself that he came home. Li Tifu knocked on the door a few times and found that the door was open. The noisy sound inside could be faintly heard.
Li Tifu is really tired today, mentally tired. When Li Tifu entered the back room, he still smelled a smell of wine, and Li Tifu said 10,000 words "damn it" in his heart.
Umar and Bahar were arguing. Although it was nominally arguing, it was only Umar who spoke, and Bahar listened the whole time, with his head down as if he had done something wrong. Li Tifu felt sick to see this scene, as if every word and everything said and done by a drunk person was right, and every word and everything of a hardworking and gentle mother was on the verge of wrong. Li Tifu became even more angry when he thought of this. Just what can be done? Even if your mother is the person you love the most, what can you do when you see your mother being bullied by a drunken man!? Even if he is the person he hates the most now, the other party is still his father! And no matter how angry Li Tifu is, no matter how much he hates this man, he can't quarrel with his father! This is morally impermissible and educationally transmitted to him. What can I do?! I could only watch my mother being reprimanded, but I could only be indifferent! Besides, Li Tifu didn't have the courage to quarrel with his father, and children of his age at school didn't dare to talk back, could he quarrel with someone who was dozens of years older than him!? Impossible! Besides, Li Tifu is also used to it, and he can basically see such a scene when he comes home from school every day.
Li Tifu went back to his bedroom with tears in his eyes and disappointed, the fragile and embarrassed heart that had just been sewn up began to crack again, and Li Tifu went to the bedroom to cover his mouth and silently agonize.
I don't know how long it took for Li Tifu to close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes and found that it was already morning, Li Tifu looked at the clock on the table next to him, 6:10. The body was still so heavy, I didn't think that after being lazy for ten minutes, I slowly got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. Just as he was about to brush his teeth, Wumaier asked from behind, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”。
"Hmm... Good! Li Tifu was confused, it was quite sudden. Unexpectedly, his father, who had never cared about it, suddenly became concerned this morning, which made Li Tifu clueless for a while, and Li Tifu froze in place.
"Li Tifu, are you uncomfortable?" Umaier continued to ask.
Li Tifu looked into Wumaier's eyes and gently smelled the air to see if it still smelled of wine. Li Tifu was observing this, and did not hear Wumaier's greeting. Wumaier repeated it several times, and Li Tifu gently replied "no" as if he had suddenly realized.
"That's good! Hurry up and wash your face and have breakfast, your mother has already prepared breakfast," Wumaier said, stretched out his hand and washed it briefly on the faucet, and left.
Li Tifu couldn't believe it, standing motionless in place with his eyes wide open, the sudden concern and greetings made Li Tifu magically forget everything that happened yesterday, and magically made the corners of Li Tifu's mouth full of smiles.
Li Tifu was very excited and felt incredible, and quickly washed up and returned to his room to put on his clothes. I can't describe my current mood, it's like a flower that has withered for a long time and suddenly blooms again with life. Not to mention how happy Li Tifu is, he can't wait to sit down with his parents to eat. After getting dressed, I quickly got up and walked a few steps and found that I didn't have a shoe on, so I quickly sat down and put on my shoes, and quickly came to the living room. Li Tifu sat down at the dinner table, only to realize that he had no socks under his shoes.
The family of four began to eat, and Li Tifu was very relieved, very happy. Seeing the scene of a family of four eating together, Li Tifu was happy from the bottom of his heart. Such a picture is a dream for Li Tifu, and it is also difficult for this family to appear.
The family ate quietly. Li Tifu secretly observed his father while eating. In the past, Li Tifu had hardly had such close contact with his father, nor had he interacted with him for such a long time. This happy and passionate mood has not been calmed for a long time. It's just that this happy picture didn't last long, and it was broken by a phone ringing, and Li Tifu was worried about this, and it still happened after all.
Umar's cell phone rang!!
Umar answered the phone, and although the voice on the other side of the phone was small, it was not inaudible, and the calm environment of the home made the sound that should not be heard much clearer.
Probably aware of this, he left the dining table with his phone and went to his bedroom to continue talking.
After a while, Wumaier's voice suddenly rose up: "Why are you so careless! Wait a minute, I'll go over now," he hung up his phone angrily and asked Ahtamu to go to his bedroom and bring his jacket.
Ahtamu hurried to his father's bedroom, and after a while came with his clothes.
Umaier put on his clothes as he walked towards the gate. Bahar also followed Umair towards the gate.
After a while, Bahar returned, and when he saw Bahar smiling at him, he responded with a simple and coping smile.
