In 1990, 33-year-old Jiang Tao went to Beijing alone.
At that time, CCTV was holding a youth song contest, and Jiang Tao decided to try it.
Unfortunately, Jiang Tao did not enter the shortlist.
Reluctantly, Jiang Tao signed up for the second competition, but he was still not shortlisted.
Jiang Tao, who came to Beijing confidently, was slapped twice by reality.
Jiang Tao, who was very depressed in his heart, called his wife Wan Xiaomu and told her the results of the two competitions that had not been shortlisted.
Wan Xiaomu said to Jiang Tao, "If you don't succeed twice, come three times or four times, you will always succeed." ”
"You don't have to worry about living expenses, I got a very easy job and will pay you every month."
Not long after, Jiang Tao quietly returned to his hometown from Beijing.
When he got home, he didn't go straight back, but hid near his house.
After he saw his wife Wan Xiaomu go out, he unknowingly followed him.
After tracking down to the place where Wan Xiaomu worked, Jiang Tao was stunned by the scene in front of him.
He turned silently, did not go home, and returned to Beijing while crying.
After becoming famous, Jiang Tao still dare not forget the efforts of his wife.
Divorced parents were also brought back to live with their mother-in-law.
1, dream of breaking the music road, happy to marry a rich woman
In 1967, when Jiang Tao came to this family, he was already the third oldest, and he had an older brother and an older sister on his head.
Jiang Tao's parents are dual-career workers, one working in the railway department and the other in a textile factory, and looks like a very good family.
In Jiang Tao's memory, his parents often quarreled.
The feelings of quarrelling also faded, and when Jiang Tao was 10 years old, the two people shot and scattered.
Jiang Tao's mother took his brother away, and when they left, Jiang Tao thought that his mother and brother were going to visit relatives, and they told them to come back early.
After a long time, Jiang Tao never saw his mother and brother.
Confused, he found that his mother did not want him, and he hid alone in a place where no one saw him and cried sadly all day.
Jiang Tao's father, like most men who don't have much hobbies, usually drinks a little wine and smokes a little cigarette.
After breaking up with his wife, he looked at the two little guys who were bouncing around alive and felt very uncomfortable.
He became a father and a mother, and put all his efforts into the cultivation of his two children.
He felt sorry for his children for not giving them a complete home.
He found that his daughter liked to dance, and his son liked to sing and wanted to develop their talents, but he didn't have the money.
Jiang Tao's father began to drink less and smoke less, and he wanted to save money to raise his children.
After saving enough money, he enrolled his daughter in a dance class and replaced his son with a new radio to let him learn to sing.
Jiang Tao also did not live up to his father's high expectations, and when he was in the third grade of primary school, he entered the Children's Palace, and also learned to dance and play some musical instruments.
What makes Jiang Tao's father particularly happy is that Jiang Tao often participates in some condolence performances, which makes him have a lot of face.
Unconsciously, Jiang Tao graduated from high school, and he began to take the examination of the literary troupe.
Fate, this trickster, sometimes does not let a person go too smoothly.
When Jiang Tao applied for the first literary troupe, he successfully passed the first and second tests, and the third test was brushed off.
The same is true of the second literary troupe, and the third is still the same.
Every third must be brushed, becoming a spell worn on the top of Jiang Tao's head, and Jiang Tao felt very depressed.
I can't get into the cultural and labor troupe, have no job, and don't marry a wife and have children.
Seeing that his son was sullen and unhappy all day, Jiang Tao's father retired early to let his son take over the shift, and Jiang Tao became a railway worker holding an iron rice bowl.
The leader saw that Jiang Tao could sing and dance, so he let him enter the propaganda team of the unit.
In one performance after another, Jiang Tao's musical dream was awakened again.
After his dream was ignited, Jiang Tao learned to play the guitar.
Jiang Tao studied very hard, his mouth was sweet, and he was able to help his master deal with some things.
His master and mother thought that this young man was quite good, so she decided to introduce her niece Wan Xiaomu to him.
It was really said that Cao arrived, and after a few days, Wan Xiaomu came to visit his aunt and uncle.
Jiang Tao's master quickly called him and thought, I have the opportunity for you, how to behave depends on yourself.
Jiang Tao came to the master's house upside down, walked into the door and saw Wan Xiaomu, a beautiful big girl, and Wan Xiaomu's beauty made Jiang Tao stunned.
Wan Xiaomu's grandmother started selling salt and later became the first salt merchant in Qingdao.
His father was a pilot who was one of the best in the world, and such a family situation threw Jiang Tao of a dual-career family 18 streets away.
With the self-confidence from a wealthy family and her own beauty, Wan Xiaomu has become accustomed to opening her eyes with such a look at men.
"Hello! My name is Wan Xiaomu. ”
Wan Xiaomu's generous greeting pulled Jiang Tao back from his gaffe, and he quickly introduced himself with a red face: "Hello! My name is Jiang Tao. ”
In order to cheer up the scene, Jiang Tao's teacher let Jiang Tao sing, and Jiang Tao seized this opportunity to sing love songs to Wan Xiaomu.
In particular, a song "Love You and Me" stirs Wan Xiaomu, who has just opened his love sinus, to the point of flying in the clouds.
After dinner, Jiang Tao's master asked Jiang Tao to send Wan Xiaomu home.
At first, it was not yet dark, and the two men walked one after the other.
As he walked, it was dark, and Jiang Tao had the courage to pull Wan Xiaomu's hand, but Wan Xiaomu did not refuse.
This signal meant that Wan Xiaomu agreed to play friends with him, and Jiang Tao's heart did not mention how happy he was.
Everyone may have some doubts, why did you hold hands and agree? Now the streets are full of pregnant children and scattered!
Times are different, even if we were in a formal relationship together, we didn't dare to hold hands on the road in the daytime.
Even if the relationship between the two people was established, when Wan Xiaomu told her parents about his love affair with Jiang Tao, the two people resolutely refused to agree.
How can this little cabbage that everyone loves in his own house let the pig arch like this!
In order to stop Wan Xiaomu and Jiang Tao's love affair, Wan Xiaomu's parents began to give her a list of objects.
What rich young masters, powerful families, one after another.
Wan Xiaomu's parents were very busy, but she was determined to follow Jiang Tao, and she didn't see anyone.
In the end, she couldn't help her daughter, and Wan Xiaomu's parents simply ignored it, she loved it.
In 1987, Jiang Tao and Wan Xiaomu held a wedding banquet, and then lived a carefree little life. In 1989, Wan Xiaomu gave birth to his son Jiang Yukuo, adding some happiness to this warm home.
Such a life is very envious of many people, and Jiang Tao does not think so.
The musical dreams lurking in his heart bubble up from time to time to stimulate Jiang Tao, who does not want to rely on his father-in-law and mother-in-law all the time to live a life.
He wanted to go to Beijing to break through, what if his dream became a reality?
When Jiang Tao came to Beijing alone, the reality of this basin of cold water made Jiang Tao drenched him from head to toe.
2, sneak home to see a surprising scene
After Jiang Tao made up his mind, he consulted with Wan Xiaomu.
Wan Xiaomu knew that jiang Tao always had a musical dream in his heart, and it was not easy to say anything.
Let him rest assured to break in, the elderly and children in the family she will take care of, and every month can send him some living expenses.
In 1990, Jiang Tao came to Beijing with his dream and his wife's expectations, where he hoped to ignite the light of his dream.
He signed up for CCTV's Youth Song Contest and was eliminated.
The next year, the unwilling Jiang Tao continued to sign up for the Youth Song Competition, but unfortunately, he was eliminated again.
Jiang Tao returned to the rental house, his mood was extremely depressed, and he felt that his dream was getting farther and farther away.
Jiang Tao even doubted whether he was a piece of music material, and he picked up the phone and told Wan Xiaomu about his being brushed off.
Wan Xiaomu cheered him up: "If you are brushed, you will be brushed!" If it is brushed again, it will be done again, and it will always be successful once. ”
In order to reassure Jiang Tao, she added: "You can rest assured of the family affairs, I have changed to a more relaxed job, and I can make a lot of money." ”
Jiang Tao listened to his wife's words, and he was a little relieved and a little uneasy.
Jiang Tao has been in Beijing for about two years, and for two years, he has missed his distant wife and son and his sick father all the time.
For the sake of his dream, he buried this thought in his heart, very deeply.
Only when the night is quiet, the thick thoughts will break through his eyes and turn into tears, flowing silently.
After a few days, Jiang Tao really couldn't stand the painful thoughts, and he wanted to go home and see.
At the same time, I was also curious about what kind of easy job my wife had found to make a lot of money, and perhaps I wanted to back off.
Jiang Tao told him neither his father nor his wife, and he secretly ran back to his hometown alone.
After returning to his hometown, Jiang Tao hid near his hometown.
After seeing Wan Xiaomu come out, he followed him from afar.
Wan Xiaomu was bent on going to work quickly, and he didn't notice that someone was following behind.
Wan Xiaomu came to the work place and began to move vegetables and meat very hard.
It turned out that the easy job of making a lot of money in Wan Xiaomu's mouth was this, cooking for hundreds of people on the construction site!
With the vegetables and meat in place, Wan Xiaomu was already exhausted and sweaty.
She began to roll up her sleeves to wash vegetables again, and her hands were frozen red, and she could see frostbite in the distance.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Tao's mind went blank, and tears came out of his eyes.
He wanted to rush over and hug his wife and yell, his uncle's musical dreams! I don't want anything! Let's go home! ”
But he couldn't, and that would hurt his wife's heart even more.
He turned and staggered back to Beijing while crying, and along the way, he kept scolding himself for not being human.
What is the point of eating that bitterness yourself, Wan Xiaomu, a famous lady, in order to make herself realize her dreams, I don't know how to fight ten times and a hundred times better than myself.
From then on, in Jiang Tao's heart, there was no longer anything to call for suffering or tiredness, and he knew that the distant Wan Xiaomu was even more bitter and tired than himself.
Jiang Tao practiced his voice day and night, pondering his singing skills, and he vowed to win the Youth Song Contest and go home to give Wan Xiaomu an explanation.
Jiang Tao's efforts finally paid off, and in 1992, he won the championship of this year's youth song competition.
On the night of winning the championship, it should have been a good celebration, but Jiang Tao was reluctant to spend money.
On the basis of nibbling on steamed buns, he opened a bag of instant noodles and bought a bottle of liquor and a little peanut rice.
On this night, he shared the same fire wind, drinking peanuts and rice, and the two of them drank broken pieces and slept with their heads covered.
The next day, Jiang Tao was still asleep when he was awakened by a knock at the door.
He climbed up and opened the door to take a look, stunned!
His mother-in-law, Wan Xiaomu and his son stood outside the door, and Jiang Tao thought he was dreaming, and twisted it hard.
He could feel the pain, not the dream, the person he thought about day and night was right in front of him, and he stepped forward and hugged Wan Xiaomu.
The heart is like overturning a five-flavor bottle, unable to say a word, only tears are flowing.
It turned out that the news of Jiang Tao's victory yesterday was broadcast on TV, and his mother-in-law felt that her son-in-law was red, what if he changed his heart?
So he rushed to Beijing overnight, afraid that his son-in-law would be abducted.
When the family came to Beijing, they had to find a place to live.
Jiang Tao touched his pocket and had little money, so he had to go to find a friend.
He cleaned up the basement where his friends were stacking cabbage, and the family moved in.
The basement is dark and damp, and it's a paradise for rats.
When he woke up one morning, Jiang Tao found that his son had several mouse footprints on his face.
Jiang Tao did not dare to be sloppy, so he immediately changed to a better house.
Although Jiang Tao won the championship, it was not a big event, and there were not many people looking for him to sing.
Jiang Tao also does not pick fat and thin, as long as he gives money, he will sing.
Wan Xiaomu saw that Jiang Tao was working too hard for the family's livelihood, so he went out to find a job.
When she returned, she said that she had found an accounting job and asked Jiang Tao to stop fighting so hard.
Jiang Tao was fooled once last time, and this time he naturally didn't believe it.
Besides, in Beijing, a place full of talents, it is impossible to find a job so quickly by virtue of Wan Xiaomu's accounting knowledge level after watching for a few days.
Jiang Tao did not say anything, and he was ready to continue to be a "private detective" in the absence of performances.
A few days later, Jiang Tao did not perform on this day.
Early in the morning, Wan Xiaomu got up to go to work, and Jiang Tao pretended to sleep very dead.
As a result, as soon as Wan Xiaomu's front foot went out, his back foot followed.
When he arrived at Wan Xiaomu's work place, Wan Xiaomu once again started his old job: cooking.
But this time it was not at the construction site, but in a canteen of the unit.
This time, Jiang Tao did not cry, but silently turned and left.
This love and righteousness, placed in front of any man, have to fight.
Although the family worked hard, the education of the children was not removed.
Not only did the child go to school in Beijing, but also let him learn the piano.
Wan Xiaomu was busy in the canteen during the day, exhausted, and at night, she had to help her son do his homework, and after doing the homework, she supervised his son to practice the piano.
Wan Xiaomu used all the sets that his parents had taught him when he was a child, and his son punished him for redoing it 30 times if he did the wrong question.
If the piano is played wrong, put your hand out and get beaten!
After such a day lasted for a year, Jiang Tao's career ushered in a turnaround.
In 1993, Jiang Tao entered the Spring Festival Gala to lead the singing of "Oriental Light", which could have been a hit this time.
As a result, due to the adjustment of the program, the accompaniment staff was not arranged, and his lead singer was actually squeezed into an inconspicuous corner.
In 1994, Jiang Tao entered the Armed Police Cultural and Labor Corps and became a literary and artistic soldier, and was also assigned a house.
Jiang Tao's father had always hoped that he would join the army, and after putting on the military uniform, he also deliberately ran back to his hometown to make his father happy.
In 1998, Jiang Tao entered the Spring Festival Gala for the second time, and became popular with a song "Yugong Moving Mountains", and he has since embarked on the peak of his life.
Just when Jiang Tao's singing career was booming, an unfortunate thing happened.
3, fame and fortune but the loss of relatives
Everyone imagines that Jiang Tao and Wan Xiaomu should be harmonious with each other, right? In fact, it is not, two people often quarrel, but even if they discuss things, they will be reconciled immediately after arguing.
Once the two people quarreled again, and the angry Wan Xiaomu kicked Jiang Tao out of the door and then shut him out.
Jiang Tao was not angry after being felt outside the door, and squatted in the corner to conceive a song.
He thought that Wan Xiaomu had been taking care of his own food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and he had never worried about the children's learning, and what house decoration and financial investment were also handled by Wan Xiaomu.
Looking back on the scenes, he conceived the song "Birthday Gift".
The song thought about it, and he estimated that Wan Xiaomu's anger had also subsided.
He went to knock on the door: "Wife, open the door, I wrote you a song!" ”
Wan Xiaomu opened the door and touched Jiang Tao from head to toe: "Frozen, huh?" ”
Jiang Tao laughed twice, and Wan Xiaomu hugged Jiang Tao tightly, his heart aching.
Jiang Tao's mother-in-law, because of the generation gap, sometimes can't get used to Jiang Tao, so she keeps nagging.
Jiang Tao also listened to him count with a smile, he knew that his mother-in-law was hurting him.
My mother-in-law not only remembered Jiang Tao's kindness to herself, but also praised everyone.
In 1999, Jiang Tao was participating in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, but the news came from his hometown that his father was seriously ill, and Jiang Tao hurried home.
When he rushed home, his father had already left, and he had not been able to meet his father for the last time, and he had not spoken the last word to him.
Jiang Tao's father always silently supported him behind him, once because Jiang Tao sang and delayed his work, in order to keep Jiang Tao's job, he also knelt down under his leadership.
In the years when Jiang Tao was wandering in Beijing, he had no income, and his father opened a shop to do odd jobs to subsidize him.
When Jiang Tao thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and when he was dealing with his father's aftermath, he could hardly speak.
After taking care of the aftermath, Jiang Tao hurried back to CCTV to participate in the performance of the Spring Festival Gala.
That year, Jiang Tao brought us the tearful "Often Go Home to See", a song that incorporated his deep apologies for his father.
After participating in the performance of the Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Tao returned home with a lot of thoughts.
Our parents are getting old day by day, and if we don't spend more time with them while they are still alive, maybe one day they will leave.
We may no longer be able to accompany them, and for everyone, this is a pain that can never be erased in their hearts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tao thought of his mother who was still alive.
Although his mother left his father, sister and him from an early age, after all, blood is thicker than water.
He wanted to take his mother to Beijing, but he was worried that Wan Xiaomu would not agree.
Jiang Tao told Wan Xiaomu about her plan, and Wan Xiaomu listened and said that she had thought about it before, because Jiang Tao was too busy to tell Jiang Tao.
When Jiang Tao heard his wife say this, a warm current surged from his feet.
Jiang Tao's mother-in-law listened and complained: "You should have done this a long time ago, and I have a lot of chat companions." ”
When Jiang Tao heard this, he quickly said, "We are also chat companions!" ”
His mother-in-law said, "It's not fun to talk to you, it's not fun!" ”
The family listened and laughed.
After Jiang Tao brought his remarried mother to Beijing, the family was happy and harmonious.
As the saying goes, having old people in the family is a treasure, and they can often bring us unexpected surprises and happiness.
With them at home, our lives still have a place to go, and when they are gone, our lives have only a place to go.
We work hard outside, no matter how hard and bitter, when we think of a place to return, we have endless strength, and our dreams will never be extinguished!
What is the most precious thing in life? Money, status, fame, but in the face of love, these things seem so small.
A long road of life, we move forward in love and being loved.
On the way forward, there are sunshine, rain and dew, there are also wind, frost, snow and rain, and what supports us to success is love.
Love parents and elders, love teachers and leaders, love the other half, love brothers and sisters, love friends, love their sons and juniors.
At this moment, what appears before our eyes is the Ten Thousand Paths of Light!
