5 Chapter V

The bus drove into the station, Jiao Tang walked up quickly, walked to the last row and sat in his seat, turned his head to look at the direction of Yanshan Music Square outside the window, and Xu Wei was singing in his ears "The free world in my heart is so clear and lofty".

Jiao Tang is no stranger to the word freedom, and Jiao Sichun shouts it at home every day. She is controlled by her parents, she has no freedom, she longs for freedom.

Jiao Tang has no one to care about, she has nothing but freedom.

Grandma didn't like her mother, and she didn't like her by the way, her parents divorced, and Jiao Haifeng naturally gave up Jiao Tang's custody and ignored her for ten years. Until Jiao Tang's mother died unexpectedly, Jiao Tang was forcibly sent to Jiao Haifeng, and he was forced to raise Jiao Tang reluctantly.

Jiao Tang's mobile phone rang, from Jiao Sichun, she calmly connected the phone, Jiao Sichun questioned straight over, "You went to the Yanshan Music Festival?" You did it on purpose, right? ”

yes, it's deliberate.

Didn't Jiao Haifeng scold her for being scheming? Then Jiao Tang let him see what scheming is.

"Can't you go? Aunt Xu asked me to go. Jiao Tang looked at the music festival scene farther and farther away from the window, opened the window in the back of the bus, let the wind in, and said, "What intentionally?" ”

"My mom let you go to the music festival?" Jiao Sichun's voice was angry, "Why did she let you go, she didn't let me go!" ”

Because they have expectations for you and want you to have a bright future.

"You wait for me." Jiao Sichun hung up the phone angrily.

Jiao Tang leaned against the car window, letting the blazing summer breeze blow her hair messy, she turned on the sound of her mobile phone to the maximum, and Xu Wei's singing voice was in her ears.

Jiao Tang had dinner at the hamburger restaurant in front of her house, and only stepped into the house at half past eleven, the light in the living room was on, and she changed her shoes and walked in the door. A glass flew towards her, and she dodged it sideways, and with a loud thud, the glass shattered and fell to the ground on the door of the cabinet next to her ear.

Jiao Tang immediately retreated, the door of the master bedroom opened, and Jiao Haifeng, who was wearing pajamas, walked out with Xu Yuan.

"She went to the festival! She went to the concert I've always wanted to see! Jiao Sichun stood in the living room crying hysterically, very aggrieved, "Why are you so partial? You didn't give her freedom! Am I your daughter? Should I be damned if I study poorly? ”

Jiao Haifeng slowly looked at Jiao Tang, his eyes were gloomy, Jiao Tang's eyes were red when he stood at the door, "Aunt Xu gave me money to watch the show, I just wanted to do my homework at home, I didn't go out during the summer vacation, I want to be admitted to a key university, I don't want to waste time on this kind of meaningless thing." Aunt Xu asked me to participate in more entertainment activities, so I had to go out obediently. Why am I wrong again? What the hell am I doing right? ”

"I didn't-" Xu Yuan didn't expect Jiao Tang to fight back, so he hurriedly retorted, but was interrupted by Jiao Haifeng.

"If you don't say a word, if it weren't for your thoughts, Chunchun wouldn't have made such a fuss." Jiao Tang wants to be admitted to a key university is the truth, her love of learning is obvious to all, Jiao Haifeng is studying every time he sees her, otherwise he would not be admitted to a key high school.

Xu Yuan is selfish, and Jiao Haifeng also knows that he usually turns a blind eye.

Xu Yuanshen glanced at Jiao Tang and went back to the room.

"Go out and see, what do you tell Chun Chun to do?" Jiao Haifeng finally found a reason to scold Jiao Tang and scolded her, "Do you have to make her cry to be happy?" It's hard to coax it, but I have to make trouble. ”

Jiao Haifeng's heart is biased to an alien planet.

Jiao Tang hung her head and didn't speak, she had been in the Jiao family for six years, and she had long been accustomed to his partiality.

"You two don't want to go to the festival or something, what's there to see? A bunch of madmen jumped to the fools. Jiao Haifeng pulled Jiao Sichun, who was angry with his neck, touched her hair, and said earnestly, "You have to learn the language now, you have to go abroad, and you have to study in a good university." When you have the ability to stand on a high place, you have all the freedom you want. Now this low-level freedom of eating, drinking, and being merry is downward freedom, not real freedom. It's false, you know? This kind of lowly freedom will only cause you to fall. Think about it, if you keep sinking, what do you get in the end? You don't have the power to support everything you want, how can you be free? True freedom is that you have the absolute right to stand on top and have the ability to make all choices, and you are free to choose the life you want. ”

Jiao Tang raised his head, his gaze was unprecedentedly calm.

Jiao Sichun was stunned for a while, and threw himself into Jiao Haifeng's arms, "Dad, I understand what you said, I will listen to you." If I can learn well, will you let me watch a show? Just once, after reading it, I went abroad. ”

Jiao Tang looked at Jiao Sichun, she also looked over, and showed a provocative smile where Jiao Haifeng couldn't see.

Jiao Tang was afraid that he would laugh out loud, so he lowered his head. Jiao Sichun didn't understand Jiao Haifeng's words, they carefully cultivated a fool.

Is this a blessing?

Jiao Haifeng sighed, in the end he still agreed to Jiao Sichun, and before returning to the room, Jiao Haifeng warned Jiao Tang: "Don't touch what Chunchun likes in the future." ”

Jiao Tang walked through the living room back to his room.

The room was messy, and Jiao Sichun should have come to her to vent. It's a pity that she has too few things, and there are only a few books and a few torn clothes to smash around.

Jiao Tang lay on the bed and deleted the latest circle of friends, she wrote a sentence in the memo on her mobile phone: downward freedom is never freedom, don't indulge in the false happiness in front of you, don't degenerate. You have to go up, to the clouds.

She thought that this matter was over, but she never expected that Jiao Haifeng knocked on her door early the next morning and asked her to go to the nanny's hometown for the rest of the summer vacation.

The nanny's hometown is in a small town on the outskirts of Beijing, and she has built a house in the countryside, where the nanny's son and daughter-in-law live.

The nanny said that her hometown was out of the blue, saying that her son and daughter-in-law would definitely take care of Jiao Tang.

Jiao Tang didn't believe a word, but she couldn't resist, Jiao Haifeng stuffed her with her luggage into the car, told the driver to send her to the countryside, and left without looking back.

"Mr. Jiao has been busy with work recently, and I will deliver you safely if I send you." Jiao Haifeng's driver knew the inside story, saw that Jiao Tang was pitiful, and handed her a box of yogurt, "The countryside is very good, the place is quiet, you study hard, no one bothers you over there." A month at most, and you'll be back at the start of school. ”

黑色ε₯”ι©°εΌ€ε‡ΊδΊ†ι«˜θ΄΅ηš„θŠ±ε›­ζ΄‹ζˆΏε°εŒΊοΌŒι©ΆδΈŠε‡ΊεŸŽι«˜ζžΆγ€‚

Jiao Tang's mobile phone rang, she picked it up and saw Jing Siming's WeChat, and asked her if she had woken up and wanted to eat casserole.

Jiao Tang leaned back in his seat, stuffed the headphones into his ears, and put on his English hearing.

Five minutes later, Jing Siming sent a second message: "Yesterday's ...... Are you angry? My sister is that kind of person, the more people there are, the more they like to go crazy. We'll play alone in the future and not with her. ”

Jiao Tang still didn't reply, she didn't want to talk, she was tired.

She also didn't want to be known about her situation, embarrassed and embarrassed, she was swept away.

The mobile phone rang, interrupting the mechanical stereotyped English reading, forcing Jiao Tang to answer the phone, she leaned to the car glass and held the mobile phone to look up at the sky, "I can't go, I'm not angry." ”

"What's wrong with you? The voice doesn't sound right. ”

"It's okay, you have to study hard, you're about to be a sophomore in high school, and strive to get into a good class in your third year of high school."

"Then I'm going to study hard and keep up with you. Call me when you want to come out for dinner, and be on call. ”

"Okay." There was a dark sun film on the car glass, blocking the dazzling sunlight, Jiao Tang looked at the sun and was silent for a while, and said, "What-"

"What?" Jing Siming hurriedly asked.

Jiao Tang sat up and put a straw on the yogurt, and took a sip before speaking, "Does the summer band have any performances recently?" ”

"You're trapped? Like it, right? The live of the band in the summer is really awesome, and Neo's singing skills are very powerful, very shocking. Jing Siming praised the summer band with sincere feelings, and said, "They were originally going to participate in the youth band competition on August 1st, but I heard in the morning that the drummer of their team ran away, and I don't know if they can perform." I'll ask someone to inquire, and I'll grab a ticket for you if there's a performance. ”

There was a severe traffic jam on the road, and Jiao Tang was sent to the place where he was going to stay at half past twelve at noon.

Dusty country roads, endless poplar forests, and mountains stretching to the horizon. The air was hot and filled with the smell of dung, and there were a large number of old and dilapidated self-built houses, one next to the other, without a single high-rise building.

The sun is blazing hot, and cicadas are chirping overhead.

Jiao Tang dragged his suitcase and stood on the cement road, looking at the simple two-story building in front of him, the yard was full of clothes and tattered.

She was greeted by the nanny's son, Chen Qiang, a man in his thirties, with tanned skin, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and a little obscene when he smiled, his small eyes looked at her from head to toe, and reached out to pull her, "It's called Tangtang, right?" In. ”

Jiao Tang avoided his hand and dragged his luggage into the yard.

The driver was handing over to Chen Qiang, and Jiao Tang walked into the yard. There was a grapevine in the yard, and some grapes rotted on the vine trellis, attracting a lot of flies and swirling on the top of Jiao Tang's head.

The black Mercedes flew away in the dust, and the sound of the car disappeared completely.

Chen Qiang came in and took Jiao Tang upstairs, "Your father called me and said that you would stay until the 20th of next month." During this period, I will be responsible for your food and lodging, and tell me in advance what you want to eat. There was a TV in the living room on the ground floor and the WIFI password was my phone number. ”

The room is in the easternmost and the room is not small but very old. The yellowed old air conditioner was blowing weakly, and there was only one bed and one table in the room, and the musty smell was strong. I don't know if it's leaky or damp on the top of my head, and it's a dark color like moss.

Jiao Tang has never lived in such a house, Jiao Haifeng is quite rich, has his own company, and has many houses. In addition to the 200-square-meter garden house where they lived, he had several houses for rent in City B.

Their family is not short of money or a house, but they sent Jiao Tang to the rural nanny's house, which is humiliating.

She has no mother, and anyone can bully her.

Jiao Tang stood in the empty room, looking up to see a busy spider in the corner of the wall building a web.

"I'll go and serve the rice, and you can go downstairs and eat." Chen Qiang looked at Jiao Tang, "Tell me if you still have anything missing, and I will buy it for you if I can buy it." ”

She will be able to live on campus when school starts, and she will be able to bear with it.

When Jiao Tang went downstairs, he saw Chen Qiang serving vegetables in the kitchen, and a piece of meat fell on the stove, so he naturally picked it up with his hands and threw it on the plate. Flies swirled in the kitchen, and a few crawled on the already prepared dishes.

Chen Qiang came out with the dishes, and the flies followed him out, he didn't care much and raised his hand to wave the flies, took the chopsticks and wiped them on his body, beckoned Jiao Tang into the living room on the first floor, and said, "Come and eat." ”

Jiao Tang's throat hardened, turned around and walked up the stairs, and said, "I'll go out to eat, you can eat by yourself." ”

"You want to go out to eat?" Chen Qiang put down the dish and came out, the children in the city were hypocritical, "You go out to eat when the meal is ready?" Home cooking is clean and hygienic. ”

Jiao Tang returned to the room, picked up her schoolbag and sunhat and went downstairs, opened the mobile phone navigation software to search for the hotel, jumped out of a row, the nearest was only 300 meters, she put on her schoolbag and hat and walked out.

"Your father only paid for your meals at my place, and when you go out to eat, it can't be counted in the room and board expenses, and you are responsible for yourself."

The town is quite big, the main street is very lively, there are a few relatively decent restaurants, Jiao Tang picked a two-story hot pot restaurant.

The shop is new, the glass is clean, but there are not many customers.

Jiao Tang chose a window seat on the second floor and sat down, the waiter quickly delivered the menu, she ordered a few dishes casually and returned the menu, leaning on the chair and looking at the chaotic street outside in a daze.

"What does Levine mean? Want to quit the band? A boy's voice rang out behind him.

The waiter poured Jiao Tang a cup of barley tea, Jiao Tang took a sip, followed the sound, and suddenly saw NEO and Xi Yu. The two of them were going upstairs, NEO was not wearing a hat, the silver hair was particularly dazzling during the day, and the overly white skin had a jade texture in the sun. He was wearing a black T-shirt and big shorts, his eyelashes drooping, and after stepping on the last step, he walked this way with long legs and a blank face.

Jiao Tang quickly turned around and sat down, his heartbeat brain blank.

How did they end up here?

"Brother Li, sit here."

Jiao Tang heard their voices stop behind her, only the baffles separated the hot pot restaurants, and the seats were connected, and she felt the backrest on her side being pushed down.

She buried her head in her barley tea and heard NEO's voice behind her, a wall away.

"He wants to form a new band." NEO's voice was nonchalant, "I want to sign a brokerage company and want to enter the entertainment industry." Chen Bo is also leaving, and they signed with Star Entertainment. ”

"Huh?" Xi Yu's voice was full of shock, "When did it happen?" Why don't I know? I'll call Chen Bo! Doesn't it say that the summer band will never be commercialized and never disbanded? How did it get so fast? What if they leave the band? ”

Jiao Tang opened Baidu to search for members of the summer band.

"Are you leaving?" NEO's tone was as lazy as ever, without any emotion, "You can go with them." ”

"I'm not leaving! How will I go? Xi Yu shouted excitedly, and slapped his phone on the table, "The summer band is my dream, my faith!" ”

"Okay, your faith, what pot to eat?" NEO WASN'T AFFECTED BY HIS AGITATION, AND IT WAS STILL THAT LOOSE TONE.

"What the hell is going on? Why aren't you in a hurry at all? You've spent so much money in the band, and it's up to you to say that the summer band is where it is today! You've put so much effort into it, how can you just say it's gone? Aren't you sad? In the summer, the band is going to disband, and there is still a heart to eat! Xi Yu's voice choked, took a deep breath, and said, "Why is this happening?" We've known each other for so long, and we've worked hard for so long, and we've finally come to where we are today......"

"I can't disperse, I'm recruiting to find new teammates, the summer band is still the summer band." NEO's tone was light and final.

Jiao Tang looked back, only to see a flamboyant silver hair top.

NEO SUDDENLY LEANED BACK AND LEANED AGAINST THE BAFFLE BEHIND JIAOTANG.

Jiao Tang hurriedly lowered his head, quietly put on a wide sunhat, and sat down next to him. YU GUANG SAW NEO'S SLENDER ARMS LAZILY RESTING ON THE MIDDLE BAFFLE, AND HIS LONG, BONY FINGERS SLOWLY TAPPED, RETURNING TO HIS ARROGANT NATURE, "LEAVING IS THEIR LOSS, NOT MINE." As long as I'm the lead singer of the band Summer, summer will always be there. And they left the summer band, there will be no second summer. ”
