Chapter 25
Shen Yu found a job as a tutor for children from relatively wealthy families in the Hutong.The job was found by Aunt Wu next door.Xiao Xia had to suspend school because of heart surgery. When Lin Ran went out to work, he always ran to Shen Yu with story books. Shen Yu sometimes read stories to him, and sometimes made up some school homework for him.
Gradually, Xiao Xia learned a lot of knowledge. Aunt Wu told everyone that it was taught by the noble-looking brother of the two brothers next door.I often feel that it is not easy for two children to live, and my brother's leg doesn't know when it will get better.After coming and going, many people asked Aunt Wu to ask Shen Yu if she would like to be a tutor for her children.
Although Shen Yu's legs can stand, there is still a big problem in walking. Lin Ran frowned and didn't want Shen Yu to be a tutor. He muttered in a low voice: "Shen Yu, why don't you go out to recuperate at home?"
Shen Yu comforted him: "Of course, it doesn't matter, don't worry, I will take Xiao Xia with me, if there is any problem, Xiao Xia can also help me, how can it be so exaggerated." He rubbed the top of Lin Ran's hair with his hand: "I'm still reluctant to let you be alone because I suffered too much. Everyone in the alley says I'm your brother, so I'll always act like a brother, right? ?”
Xiao Xia nodded cheerfully at the side, and volunteered to say to Lin Ran: "Brother Lin Ran, don't worry, I promise to help you take good care of your brother and his legs."
Lin Ran reluctantly agreed.
After Shen Yu went to be a tutor, he seemed to relax a lot. The depression that had been faintly hidden before was gone, and he could even smell the sunshine gradually.
He was wearing a solid-color shirt bought by Lin Ran, and he led Xiao Xia through the alleys. The neighbors called him, "Brother Lin Ran, are you going to give the child extra lessons again?"
He also responded with a smile: "Yeah." Sometimes when the course ends early, Shen Yu will take Xiao Xia to sit in the western restaurant where Lin Ran works for a while, and use the completed tuition fees to give Lin Ran and Xiao Xia One of them bought a small piece of cake, ordered a cup of coffee for himself, and sat in the corner of the restaurant by the window, watching Lin Ran play the violin, with his back straight and quiet, sitting for an entire afternoon.
Lin Ran paid her wages and put Xiao Xia in the car. He pushed Xiao Xia and walked slowly with Shen Yu.
Lin Ran asked Shen Yu with a smile: "Don't you find it annoying to listen to me playing the piano all the time?"
Shen Yu thought for a while before saying, "I can't hear enough."
Lin Ran felt that his face was getting hot again, so he looked around and said to him again: "Well, Shen Yu, next time you give me a cake, I want chocolate flavor."
Xiao Xia interjected suspiciously: "But brother Lin Ran, the cake we bought today is chocolate-flavored?"
Lin Ran turned her head viciously: "Xiao Xia, shut up, if you talk again, I will throw it down for you."
Shen Yu thought Lin Ran's blowing hair was very interesting, so he kept holding back his laughter, and finally couldn't hold it back, so he burst out laughing, and said: "Lin Ran, how much you like me."
A rather strange thing happened recently, and Lin Ran has been puzzled by it.He picked up a bunch of medals he had won and threw them on the carpet, wondering: "Shen Yu, I think it's a little strange, you said that I won the first prize in that kind of community competition and didn't report it, why? I have been interviewed for such large-scale awards as the city competition, but no one reported it? How strange?"
Shen Yu's fingers flipping through the book suddenly paused, and said calmly: "It may be that the city is too small."
Lin Ran is so heartless, so naturally he doesn't want to go into the why, anyway, he doesn't want to be famous, he just needs to get the money, then he nodded without thinking too much and said: "It really makes sense." Walking to the bedside, I stuffed the rest of the day's money into the simple and thick piggy bank on the bedside table.Lin Ran has a habit of taking care of the piano before going to bed, and then kissing the piggy bank, muttering: "Daddy Pig, you are a mature adult, you have to learn to save money by yourself."
Lin Ran slept very early today, because he was going to participate in the final of the city competition the next morning. The competition time was 7:[-] am, and the small alley was a bit far from the competition venue.As soon as it was daylight, Lin Ran got up, simmered porridge for Shen Yu in a small pot, and heated milk beside it, casually took the milk bag in his mouth, picked up the piano and rode out the door.
Shen Yu was barefoot, lying on the railing on the second floor of the house, looking at Lin Ran who was exuding a clean aura, shuttled through the alley with the wind on his back, and then disappeared.Shen Yu, who was lying on the railing on the second floor, had gentle eyes and indescribable sadness. He sighed, turned around, and then his tone became cold and gloomy. Said a sentence: "When I get dressed, I will go down."
I didn't know what was going on that day. It was a good weather, but suddenly it started to rain.When there is sunshine in Haishi, the sky is brilliant like an unreasonable child. When it rains, it seems to change its face, and the cold air penetrates directly into the bones.Lin Ran took out a facial tissue from the bag, wiped his trousers, and was worried about Shen Yu at home. He didn't know what was going on with his legs. In such a cold weather, would Shen Yu's legs hurt badly again?
He just stood in the hall with his head down and wiped his clothes by himself. When he looked up, four people had already surrounded him.
Lin Ran was startled, and asked blankly, "What's wrong?"
Those people's faces were fierce: "I know you are Lin Ran, you're so fucking short of money, aren't you crazy, you want to show off too much, right? You participate in every competition in Haishi, and you want to offend all the music students One more time? Forget about the previous competitions, you will never be able to participate in today's competition, and some people still want the first prize for extra points. Lin Ran, if you are sensible, you should hurry back from here."
Lin Ran said: "What if I don't?" The prize money of this competition is the highest, Lin Ran refused to give up, still proud of the people around him at that time, he walked into the hall with his piano on his back.
Then he was beaten.
Those people blocked Lin Ran at the corner of the building and beat Lin Ran hard.
The rainy day was too slippery, and Lin Ran couldn't resist even if he wanted to. The people who came and went were all in suits and shoes. Occasionally, someone who participated in the competition passed by and took a look, and then walked away quickly. No one wanted to meddle in other people's business.
Lin Ran's side face was pressed to the ground by the man's knees, he glanced at the clock on the big building, the game had already started, and now he was in a hurry to get in, so Lin Ran tried to struggle again, his hands and feet were shaking His skin was worn out and he was still struggling. He heard the voice of the host announcing the curtain. Time passed by every minute. Lin Ran didn't struggle any more because his game time had already passed.
He was completely desperate, not because he didn't participate in the competition and won the first prize, but because without that money, what would happen to Shen Yu's legs?
Those people saw that the people under them were completely honest, and the result of the game was determined.Only then let him go and walked away.
Lin Ran got up slowly, packed his bag and registration form, and knelt in the corner, unable to stand up for a long time.
The profile of his face was bruised, the only suit he used for the game was torn, and his nose was bleeding.He knelt for a quarter of an hour before recovering, slowly stood up, limped onto the bicycle, and cursed: "This group of scum."
The voice from the corner was sinister and terrifying: "I told you not to let him participate in the competition, how dare you hit him?"
