There is always someone patiently waiting for you to be ready

New doors

"Daddy! I'm going to talk to you about something serious as a man! ”

I cleared my throat and sat down in front of my dad.

My dad frowned and said curiously, "Come on, I'll hear what's going on with a six-year-old man." ”

"Cough cough! Dad, do you think of Jia Qi as a dry girl? So when her dad beat her, we had an excuse to take her over. ”

My dad spread his hands and said, "Son, this is not okay, your mother does not want to." ”

"Why? Didn't mom always want a daughter? ”

"Your mother never took Jia Qi as her daughter." Forget it, you're too young, you don't understand. ”

"How is that better for her than for us!" It really can't work, or I will recognize Uncle Zhou as a dry father! Anyway, he liked me, and when he drank too much, he said he wanted me to be his son. ”

"I said no! You two can't be brother and sister! Anyway, you're dead hearted. ”

I continued to move to understand the reason: "Dad, you see JiaQi is always beaten, we can't always ignore her." ”

My dad sighed, "Yes, you can't leave it alone." ”

I directly "kicked the ball": "Anyway, I don't know how to solve it, or you want to." ”

My dad rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that there is no solution." ”

As soon as I heard the spirit: "Speak quickly! ”

"Now it's time to test you."

"Why are you testing me?"

"In order to add seven, can you do anything?"

"Of course, I'm her boss!"

My father looked at me with a look of indisputation, and did not say much, only explained to me: "Well, Dad will tell you a story about the water droplets and stones." ”

"Don't say it, the teacher said it."

"What about this..."

Dad secretly told me the solution he thought, and I felt that Mao Sai was open and nodded his head busily.

That spring, every day I carried a bucket of water and splashed it on the wall.

There was originally a red ring on the wall that I sprayed with paint, and when I splashed an unknown amount of water, the ring finally disappeared.

Finally, on this day, I hurried to my father: "Dad, let's start building a shed." ”

My dad understood, took a hammer, hammered a wooden nail.

When the hammer reached the place where the red ring had disappeared, the wall was "accidentally" punched through a large hole.

"Oops, not good! Old Zhou, I'm really sorry, the wall let me chisel through. ”

Uncle Zhou looked at the hole in the wall: "You can't be blamed for this." After all, this kind of adobe wall is indeed not strong after a long time. He looked at the wall again and said doubtfully, "But why is this piece of soil so loose?" ”

My father quickly thought of the reason: "Don't think about it, this wall is broken, and it will not be repaired for a while and a half, or we will simply build it into a door." We always locked the kids in the house and gave them a door to play together and take care of each other. And in the future, the two of us can also eat together, anyway, they are all family! ”

Uncle Zhou nodded, picked up the tools, and began to repair the door with my father.

"Son, you pour me and your Uncle Zhou some water." Then he took the opportunity to sneak into my ear and said, "Do you know how hard I used to cut it through?" Stinky boy. ”

I bounced away.

"Plus Seven, have you seen this door?"

"After your father hits you again, you will run toward this door."

"I'm protecting you at this gate."

Run towards the front

I remember one time in class, the teacher said to make a game, everyone passed the paper ball, stopped wherever there was who sang a song.

When I first heard this proposal, I felt a little frightened.

Silently prayed not to reach me.

But often it backfired, I was afraid of what was coming, and it was my turn to be the first to sing.

When everyone's eyes were all on me, I could only stand up awkwardly and say, "I can't sing." ”

At this time, the students began to coax, and the teacher also said: "No, otherwise the game will not be carried out." ”

I could only be left alone in that half day, and my face was red.

When JiaQi saw this, he raised his hand and said, "Let me sing for him." ”

The teacher said, "Don't always protect him." ”

The classmate coaxed again: "JiaQi, you haven't passed the door yet, why do you protect him like this?"

Everyone laughed and my face became even redder.

Then the teacher and classmates continued to look at me, and I still said, "I really can't sing." ”

The teacher was also very helpless, saying: "The national anthem can be sung, right?" Sing the national anthem. ”

Hearing these words, I was relieved.

Standing upright, he sang a national anthem in a dignified manner.

After I finished singing, my face was already red, probably because everyone thought the national anthem was boring, and no one paid attention to me, and I began to pass it down again.

Anyone who gets there will be a pop song or two.

I looked at them, stood silently, felt embarrassed, and felt as if I had ruined the atmosphere, and felt a little remorseful.

Actually, I'm not making excuses, I really can't sing.

Before junior high school, I was a person who was completely immersed in my own world.

By the sixth grade, I was still watching Ultraman on TV with Plus Seven.

I never follow any trend, or I don't know what a trend is.

At that time, I thought that I, Plus Seven, reading, television, was the whole world.

Walking on the way out of school, I secretly asked JiaQi: "Are there any popular songs or singers lately?" You popularize it for me. ”

Jia Qiqi said that there is a new debut singer who is particularly popular, called Jay Chou, "Qilixiang" and "Double Stick" are particularly good; there is also a group called S · H· E, I like them the most.

I said, well, I'm going to catch up.

When I got home, I begged my mother for half a day, saying that I wanted to buy tapes to catch up with the trend, and then my mother scolded: "I don't want to study seriously every day, what tape drive do I buy?!" ”

I didn't dare to say much and quickly left my mother's sight.

Otherwise the next scene would be a close encounter between the feather duster and my ass.

I was sitting in the alley worrying, and Jia Qiqi took her ceramic piggy bank and put it in front of me: "This is all the money I saved, you take it, buy a tape drive, buy two tapes." ”

"No, plus seven, it's your money."

"After you learn a song, sing it to me, and pay it back."

I was talking about how nice it was, and I smashed a brick down.

Jia Qiqi was anxious: "This piggy bank doesn't have to be smashed!!! The back can be opened! You pay me!!! ”

In the end, Plus Seven still didn't let me lose the piggy bank, because it was my birthday gift to her, but I forgot that this piggy bank didn't have to be smashed.

I bought tapes with the money given by Jiaqi and began to listen to Jay Chou, Lin Junjie, and SHE.

In the afternoon and on the way out of school, a boy took a girl's hand, and each of them had a headset around their ears.

That's what I remember from sixth grade.

Since then, Plus Seven and I have been watching those pop charts every day, listening to the latest songs, and making up for it like crazy.

Gachi listened to the song while copying the lyrics, and I watched her copy the lyrics.

I sighed, "Plus seven, I still don't dare to sing." ”

"Why?"

"I don't know. When I opened my mouth to sing, my mind was full of pictures of my classmates laughing at me. Maybe the only thing I can sing well is the national anthem. ”

Gagachi said, "It's all right, wait until you're ready." ”

Although I was still reluctant to sing, Jia Qiqi still tried to copy the lyrics.

She copied a thick book of lyrics, and I still didn't dare to sing.

Jia Qiqi complained, "When will you be able to pay off the debt of this tape drive?" ”

I said, save it.

If you keep it, you save it until you graduate.

On graduation day, everyone brought their classmates, bought a lot of snacks, and everyone had a farewell party.

At that time, many people did not know that this was a separation.

When it was time to perform the show again, I saw that I did not move, and Jia Qiqi pushed me up.

I stood awkwardly in front of everyone again, unable to open my mouth.

Below came the voices of the students: "Go down, go down, we don't want to hear the national anthem!" ”

Jia Qiqi ran up at this time: "The sparrow outside the window, talking a lot on the telephone pole..." I hummed along with her.

It was the first time I'd sung a pop song in front of people, along with Plus Seven.

You prepare slowly, and there is always someone who will patiently wait for you to get ready.

On the way home, I said to Jiaqi, "I'm really afraid of their ridicule." ”

Jia Qiqi said, "For fear of ridicule, you try to run faster and leave all those who laugh at you behind." ”
