During the winter vacation, Meng Ting got the good news. The result of the piano competition came out and she won the second place.
The red seal and the certificate were delivered by Song Lijuan in person.
The elegant female teacher smiled and said, “It’s amazing to hear. I heard that the first one is a male teacher who has practiced piano for more than 20 years.”
Song Lijuan is very popular, so she inquired about it personally, only to realize that the teacher was meant to be first.
After all, this is a large-scale piano competition. Every age group has people participating. It is better for a steady piano teacher to win the championship than a young girl to win the championship.
It is good to be young and beautiful, but Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by all the attention. Taking the second place is also a kind of protection for Meng Ting.
Although at the level of Meng’s listening, it is not a problem to get the first place.
With joy, Meng Ting took out the washed fruits and melon seeds to entertain Teacher Song. She hasn’t touched the piano for many years, and being second has made her very happy.
Her happiness was pure, with shining brilliance in her eyes.
Song Lijuan couldn’t help but smile: “I won’t stay more, I will go back first.”
Meng Ting opened the red envelope that contained a thick stack of red notes. This time the bonus was not a bank card, but cash. She didn’t count it. When Shu’s father came back in the evening, she gave it all to Shu Zhitong.
Shu Zhitong was taken aback by so many red tickets, and then proudly said: “It is really amazing. I’ll go and save the money for you tomorrow.”
Meng Ting doesn’t know if she should laugh or cry: “Daddy Shu, it’s useless for me to save the money, let’s pay back the money from my relatives first.”
Shu Zhitong said that it couldn’t work.
“Papa Shu also borrowed money to treat my eyes. Since you are family, we should work together. Give the money to Uncle Du.”
Shu Zhitong finally agreed.
On the New Year’s Eve, Shu Yang also got good news. He won the first prize in the physics competition, and the prize was a big red envelope of 6,000 yuan.
Meng Ting won 10,000 yuan in the piano competition. Adding these 6,000 yuan, the total is 16,000 yuan. In this year, these are not small money, and they alleviated Shu Zhitong’s urgent needs. Although he didn’t say anything, he couldn’t help but relax for a long time, and his face was full of New Year’s joy.
Prosperity in raising children is what parents are happiest and most looking forward to.
Although the money is a drop compared to how much he actually owe to people.
During the winter vacation, Meng Ting was not idle. In addition to preparing for the next semester of high school, she also practices dancing every day.
During spring next year or summer, she has to go to dance competitions.
The dance competition has a lot of prize money, but it also needs to spend a lot. A soft and light posture requires day-to-day effort.
She presses her legs to practice dance steps every day when she is free.
Meng Ting only repeats basic skills and does not need music. A few years ago, the dance shoes were one size smaller. She only wore thick socks and had light steps. No one in the family noticed that she started dancing again.
Her life began to become calmer. The difference from her previous life is that she no longer cares about Shu lan and has less experienced those bad comments.
Shu Zhitong rented a house in the new district.
The New Year seems a bit deserted, and no smoking ban has been issued this year. Firecrackers crackled, and various fireworks spread out in the sky. After exploding, it fell again.
Shu Zhitong was happy this year and bought a few hand-held fireworks.
The kind that was five yuan a piece that year, he held 18 shots in his hand.
He divided it among the children.
Shu Lan was so happy that she started playing when she lit the fire.
Meng Ting was wearing a brown scarf and followed them to set off fireworks below the complexe. She lit it, and after a short wait it rushed to the sky. Holding this piece in the hand is giving off a hot feeling.
She stood obediently, waiting for the distribution of 18.
She looks kind of naive and cute.
The fireworks looked silly, Shu Yang didn’t play, so Shu Lan took his.
Other homes are lively.
In a beam of joy, it was New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye. He Junming and the others met in Xiaogang City, but Jiang Ren did not return to city b. Everyone doesn’t mention this unpleasant thing.
He crossed his legs to play cards in Little Port City. Lazy and wanton. Everyone drove countless beers and shouted: “Happy New Year!”
Lu Yue was peeling oranges for them.
After peeling one, she first handed it to Jiang Ren’s lips, and a group of teenagers roared: “Oh, why didn’t you peel me an orange.”
Lu Yue blushed, but still said softly: “You taste it, it’s very sweet.”
The teenagers booed again: “Taste it, Brother Jiang, it’s very sweet~” They are trying to tease him.
Jiang Ren was silent for a long time, then smiled and opened his mouth.
It’s booing again.
Lu Yue was surprised and happy, she will work harder.
The scene is very eye catching.
He Junming said: “It’s boring to win money. Let’s play “Honesty and Courage”. Everyone is playing, and my friends are all coming to play together.”
The girls also came over with great interest.
‘Honesty and Courage’ means Truth or Dare.
They played it very simple and rude, one card per person, and the smallest person accepted the punishment. Honesty and bravery can be chosen.
The one who lost the first round was a boy with yellow hair. He said, “I choose honesty.”
Everyone asked him to say who is the best girl present.
He glanced at Jiang Ren, then said Lu Yue.
Lu Yue couldn’t help but be contented and happy.
The second round is He Junming.
Everyone booed and asked him when and who he first kissed. This guy smashed his mouth and carefully recalled: “The first day of the new year? With a little loli in our class.”
Everyone scolded him.
Ask Chu. What about Ye?
He Junming said: “Go on, I’ve asked a question.”
After all, he is not the same as a real bastard. A child from a wealthy family will never dare to mess with others. The heir is a sensitive topic. People like He Junming know that kisses can be messed up and the bed can’t be messed up.
Of course these are not for outsiders.
The next round is a girl, also a vocational high school, He Junming’s classmate. She chose brave.
Everyone is playing excitedly, let her casually find a boy to kiss her.
They were used to wandering around, and the girl did not refuse.
She did not dare to pick Jiang Ren and his entourage, so she kissed a boy in the next class.
Everyone booed.
Who knows how many rounds have been played, until it became Lu Yue’s turn.
Her heart beats fast and she chose brave.
She was in the seventh middle school, and everyone was afraid that she could not play it, so they said, “Then sister Lu Yue, find a boy to kiss? Wherever you want.” Everyone knows that she likes Jiang Ren, and Jiang Ren has been single. It is also a chance to match up.
Lu Yue did not refuse, she blushed and walked to Jiang Ren.
Everyone was red-faced and booed.
Jiang Ren looked down at a card in his hand, which was a nine of hearts.
He raised his eyes indifferently. Lu Yue didn’t dare to kiss his lips for fear that he would be angry, so she planned to kiss his chin.
The boy had sharp edges and corners, sitting on the sofa with his legs up, Lu Yue squatted down in front of him, a second before her lips touched him. He pressed her shoulder and pushed her away.
Jiang Ren didn’t have any expression either, and flipped the cards with two fingers.
A square piece A, he said: “I saw the wrong card just now.”
So the one who was punished changed from Lu Yue to him.
Lu Yue was disappointed and angry.
He Junming hurriedly rounded up the field: “Then everyone quickly ask Jiang a question, you are welcome, just ask.”
Except for He Junming and the others, few knew that Jiang Ren had chased Meng Ting.
Some people believed it and asked him with a smile, “Who is Jiang thinking about now?”
They all thought he would say Lu Yue.
This kind of atmosphere is just right for a couple.
Jiang Ren lit a cigarette, and the smoke made him look unclear. After a while, he said a name in a dumb voice.
His voice was so low that the man didn’t hear him, showing a puzzled expression.
He Junming got close, with a beeping expression on his face.
Then he said: “Sing, I’m starting to sing, this kind of “honesty and bravery” is not fun at all.” After a long time the atmosphere regained, He Junming sighed.
When New Year’s Eve passed, they all left. No one dared to drive, after all, they drank a lot. When the night breeze blew, the mind became clearer.
Jiang Ren woke up, his face was terribly dark.
He Junming asked in a low voice before leaving him, “Brother Jiang, do you still miss her?”
Jiang Ren said, “I’m drunk.” He was calm and quiet, with no waves in his eyes.
“Brother Jaing, don’t think about her, it’s useless, you can’t have her.”
Jiang Ren lowered his eyes and rubbed the wound on his hand, rarely saying anything.
“I don’t want to.” He said, but He Junming has been away for a long time. He didn’t know who he was telling this to.
Every year on Lantern Festival, Shu Zhitong takes his family back to Shulan’s grandparents’ house.
This year Meng Ting didn’t go.
She used to go because Shu Lan begged, and this year she and Shu Lan completely fell off. She is not their granddaughter, and she is embarrassed every time she goes. Shulan’s grandparents secretly gave Shulan and Shu Yang red envelopes time after time. As an outsider, Meng Ting didn’t want to disturb them.
Shu Zhitong couldn’t help it, so he took the other two children and left, saying that they would be back soon.
However, Meng heard that he went to buy vegetables and cook by himself.
This is the more troublesome thing about the New Year. The small vegetable market is closed and you have to take a car to the big supermarket to buy them.
She puts on her scarf and gloves to go out, buys food and prepares to go home. This street is bustling and the hotel is opposite. When she was out of the supermarket, she met Xu Jia. Xu Jia carried oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and a few large bottles of Coke, smiled and said hello to Meng Ting.
Meng had to answer, because they were neighbors after all, so she nodded.
Xu Jia said, “I’ll take it for you.”
“No, thank you.”
Xu Jia then said, “There will be many competitions next summer, and the prize money will be very generous. Will you go?”
She nodded and said calmly: “Go.”
With her long eyelashes down, she looked at the cracks in the concrete floor under her feet without smiling.
Xu Jia smiled and said nothing. Since Christmas Eve when his mind has been seen through, Meng Ting has alienated him. However, he didn’t mind too much, after all, he liked her quietly before. He didn’t dare to confess because he was fat in junior high school.
They took the same bus home.
Xu Jiana has more things in hand.
The teenager and girl stood together, it was as if they were going home together, as if he helped her take things.
Upstairs is billiards.
He Han stared at Meng Ting and Xu Jia at the bus stop opposite, and looked back at Brother Jiang who had scored the black goal. Suddenly he understood why Brother Jiang would come back that night.
Jiang Ren didn’t score the next goal, and the air conditioner was turned on in winter. Frustrated, he came over lazily to open the window, but He Han closed the curtains.
Jiang Ren raised his eyebrows: “Whats wrong?”
He Han said: “It’s cold.”
“The window is open.”
“I know, I know.”
He is obviously tedious in this way, not to mention Jiang Ren, He Junming can see that it is wrong, smiled and hit He Han’s back neck: “What did you kid see…”
He Han got his neck stuck: He cursed!
Jiang Ren glanced downstairs and saw her at a glance.
It’s them.
He snorted, did not speak, and opened the window for ventilation. He Han sighed with relief when he saw that Brother Ren was calm.
Until Meng Ting and Xu Jia got on the bus and walked for a while.
Jiang Ren had already smoked three cigarettes.
At that time, at the end of February, spring had not yet fully ushered in. Jiang Xin firmly squeezed the club in his hand, and finally threw it away: “screw it!”
He ran downstairs like crazy.
They drove the car by themselves, and Jiang Ren started the car and went fast.
He was driving really fast.
He Junming watched tremblingly: “It’s over.”
He Han hummed: “It was your fault.”
“Brother Jiang doesn’t mind? He said he would not chase after her.”
Fang Tan wanted to scream, he young and enthusiastic.
Meng heard that there was still some way to go home after getting off the bus, and Xu Jia walked with her. He is a wise man and doesn’t talk too much. The mood is also light.
The small tree by the road pulled out new leaves, he slowed down, and moved slowly with her.
Meng Ting turned her head to look at him, his expression is calm.
They walked on the green road.
Jiang Ren’s blue veins bulged on the back of his hand, he felt ill. He almost shivered, he tooj a cigarette to smoke, followed by him vomiting again
He saw them again.
He didn’t know where it hurts more, he was very irritate.
Jiang Ren could not hear his own heartbeat, he could only feel the boiling blood, about to ignite him. He had the urge to kill the boy.
His psychiatrist said that if his mental illness is not well guided, he will become a criminal.
He suddenly wanted to laugh, the doctor was right. So it is just normal for her not to like him.
Jiang Ren stepped on the gas pedal, he squeezed the steering wheel, almost hitting him.
However, in the end, he moved the steering wheel hard.
The car swept past them and slammed into a tree.
The airbag popped out and his mind was dizzy. The blood on the forehead flowed down. This kind of killing or suicide method.
He was lying on the steering wheel, his vision blurred by blood.
He seems to be getting sicker.
Meng Ting was stunned for a long time, and she watched the car hit the tree.
Xu Jia was also stunned, he looked back at the wheel marks. That man barely stepped on the brakes, is he crazy?
Meng heard the car.
She ran over a few steps and knocked on the window: “Jiang Ren.”
Blood ran down his forehead and dripped onto the black coat.
Jiang Ren didn’t respond.
Meng Ting was a little anxious, and said to Xu Jia: “Do you have a phone? Can you call 120.”
Xu Jia shook his head, he couldn’t tell what he was feeling, he even noticed a subtle sense of horror.
Jiang Ren wanted to kill him.
Don’t know why, in the end he didn’t.
Xu Jia said, “Don’t worry, I’ll find someone to help.”
In fact, if someone encounters a car accident on the road, even strangers should help.
After Xu Jia ran to the community to find someone, Jiang Ren finally eased the dizziness.
He raised his eyes.
Black eyes stared at Meng Ting outside the window.
He ignored the blood on his face and fumbled to get the airbag back.
Then he opened the door and got out of the car.
Meng Ting was shocked by his appearance.
His forehead was still dripping blood, but he didn’t seem to feel any pain. When he got out of the car and walked towards her, she was taken aback and took a step back.
Jiang Ren approached her step by step, and she retreated step by step.
The outside of the community was deserted, and she couldn’t hold the thing in her hand, the apples rolled all over the floor.
Jiang Ren smiled: “I’m not dead, are you happy?”
“…” Meng Ting thought he was crazy, her eyes were clean, and everything she thought was obvious.
Jiang Ren sighed: “What are you afraid of?”
Meng heard nothing, turned around and ran.
Are you crazy!
She panicked and run way. She is very young. Although she has a chance to live again, but she died young previously.
Jiang Ren squatted down.
When the security and Xu Jia of the community came to rescue him, he was picking fish on the floor.
The fish was pinched by him motionless.
Then he took what was in his hand and glanced at Xu Jia.
The security said: “This…sir, do you want to go to the hospital first?”
The blood shed so much, which is scary.
The security guard looked back at the car, dear, it’s a luxury car, but the bumper is broken. The tree is almost broken too.
Jiang Ren said coldly, “No.”
Then he entered the complex, and the security guard followed him all the way: “Hey, you… don’t go in.”
Jiang Ren turned his head, his eyes were cold and sharp. He said hoarsely, “I’m just going to pay something.”
The security guard looked at him worriedly: “Then you register.”
“it is good.”
When he arrived at the door of Meng Ting’s house, her door was closed tightly. Jiang Ren knocked on the door.
She glanced carefully from the cat’s eyes and was about to cry.
Jiang Ren said: “Your stuff.”
Meng Ting whispered: “Don’t want them.”
Jiang Ren smiled suddenly across a door, “Meng Ting, did I scare you?”
Meng could not speak.
He smiled: “I’m sorry.”
Jiang Ren put things down. He did not force her to open the door.
He lied calmly: “I didn’t want to scare you. Passing here, the brakes were out of control.”
Meng Ting answered softly.
Soft, timid.
He missed that a little, and a little bit self-deprecating. He hasn’t spoken to her for a long, long time.
Why didn’t he hit Jia? Probably because Meng Ting and Xu Jia walked side by side.
He May have hit her.
Because she is there.
Moreover, he does not want to be a murderer. Killing someone, it’s impossible to be with her in this life. Although the chance is slim.
He wiped the blood from his forehead at random to make himself look less scary.
He knew she was looking at him terribly on the other end.
Jiang Ren smiled at last: “Meng listen.”
She raised her eyes slightly.
Jiang Ren wanted to say a lot, like he is crazy. He is ill, he wants to hug her. But she is someone else’s.
Finally Jiang Ren said hoarsely: “Happy New Year.”
