Mr. Zeng turned his head when he heard the familiar voice. His eyes were as wide as bells and his hands were trembling.
"What?"
Grandma Wang was also shocked. She turned her head and looked at the TV. The look in her eyes suddenly became complicated!
"Why is my dad on TV?"
Mr. Zeng felt as if he had seen a ghost, and even forgot that this was not their home, but the Lu family.
"Let's go! Say goodbye!"
Grandma Wang was silent for a moment and then stood up.
"mom……"
Mr. Zeng was stunned.
"Walk!"
Grandma Wang said firmly.
"What are you doing? Just leave. Don't you understand? They asked us here just to see my dad!"
Mr. Zeng is anxious.
"You said that I have been divorced from my dad for seven or eight years. You hang up the phone every time my dad calls, and you don't open the door every time my dad comes over."
"You can even argue with a neighbor when he mentions my dad's name. What are you doing!"
"My dad just likes to sing, and there's nothing wrong with him. How come you haven't been able to get over this hurdle all these years?"
The Lu family listened to the exchange between mother and son, but they didn't say anything.
This time is theirs!
"Does he like singing? He is crazy! Watching and singing is more important than us two!"
Grandma Wang also became angry.
"When you were young, your dad would sing with his guitar every day, and he would form a band with his co-workers. If you say he was still relatively young then, forget it."
"But as he got older and older, he still remained stubborn. What dream did he pursue!"
"I have been working in a factory for 20 to 30 years. Just because of his dream of not being able to make a living, he bought out his seniority and stopped working."
"What can you do with that little money to buy out your seniority? Plus there is no other income. It's not like you don't know how our family got through those years!"
Mr. Zeng's lips trembled, but he still said: "Then you won't divorce my father."
Grandma Wang said harshly: "It's okay to sing when you were young. Now that you are an old man, why are you still singing? What dreams are you still thinking about?"
"A person has his own destiny, and his destiny is to be a worker. Why don't you give up at such an old age? You still don't accept your fate!"
"Look at the talent show that young people are participating in now. Why is he joining in the fun? Who would like to listen to that crap he sings?"
Grandma Wang is really going crazy!
Mr. Zeng curled his lips and said, "Don't you look at me? I have never heard my dad sing a song seriously. Every time my dad sings, you quarrel with him!"
The two of them were at an impasse.
Father Lu quickly spoke out: "Sister, you see, we are about the same age. I know the hard days. Back then, I was the father and mother of these three children..."
The age difference between Father Lu and Grandma Wang is not very big, and with these words, the two of them can exchange a few words.
Of course, don't mind the title.
After this conversation, Grandma Wang's attitude towards leaving was no longer so determined.
Although his face was still very stubborn, he still didn't leave.
…
in the screen.
Under the watchful eyes of countless viewers in front of the TV, Uncle Zeng took the stage.
He held the microphone and walked slowly.
Even if you take steps up, you have to take them one by one. You can't take two steps at a time.
It can also be seen from here that Uncle Zeng is old and no longer has the physical strength of a young man.
The audience became even more confused.
Is this man really good?
Can this old man really sing?
The lights go dark, three, two, one, the music starts!
It's the sound of a guitar, and although the melody has changed, it's quite familiar, and many people know it as soon as they hear it.
This is a very famous rock song that Sun Wanqi became famous in her early years. Many people have sung it, but no one has ever heard an old man cover it!
"Is it "I'm Not Accepted"?"
"I'll go! Is it rock and roll?!"
"Are you crazy! Uncle singing rock music?"
"What kind of plane are you doing?!"
"I thought I was going to sing old songs from the 1970s. How come I'm singing rock music? Can someone his age sing it?"
"Isn't this okay? Be careful about your body, uncle!"
"I definitely can't listen to it anymore! I'm speechless!"
"Doesn't it sound good?"
"Getting divorced because of this? It's really not worth it!"
"It's okay to sing old songs, or rock and roll? You're on the wrong path itself, and you still insist on it for forty years? What's the point of this?"
"If you take the wrong path, no matter how hard you persist, you will be heading in the opposite direction!"
"Rock and roll is just for young people!"
"..."
Uncle Zeng on the screen faced the questioning gazes of the audience and acted as if nothing had happened.
He has long been accustomed to this. He has faced this kind of thing countless times in the past few decades, and has faced this kind of voice countless times.
He calmly raised the microphone to his mouth and put all his experiences and emotions into this song.
This is a song he just wants to sing to himself!
Open your mouth.
Open your throat.
"After countless efforts, I still gritted my teeth and persevered, even though I was still at the feet of others!"
"After countless struggles, I still persevere, even though my dream is still in the horizon!"
"After falling down countless times, I became hobbled even though I was covered in bruises!"
"After shouting countless times, my voice became louder and louder, although it was already difficult to speak!"
Uncle Zeng's shouts made his wrinkles pile up.
Layer after layer.
Those layers of wrinkles are the years he has passed, but they are not the failures he has experienced.
As he said, he never succeeded, they were all failures!
The failures piled up on his face and in his heart, but they did not stop him!
The audience in front of the TV suddenly fell silent!
The scene of "The Voice" suddenly went silent!
Many people opened their mouths in surprise and were shocked by Uncle Zeng's mature and hoarse bass.
They simply couldn't believe their ears, they couldn't believe that this was singing coming from the mouth of a sixty-year-old man!
Also shocked was Uncle Zeng's son. He was staring at his eyes and could no longer speak, "This... my dad... this..."
Grandma Wang looked at her husband on the screen, and scenes from the past appeared before her eyes.
"How old are you!"
"I don't want to just let it go."
"What's wrong with you? Can you accept your fate?"
"I don't accept my fate!"
"You have to accept your fate even if you don't accept it! Live a good life and don't think about your dreams!"
"I have this ideal all my life, can you support me just once?"
"I've had enough, let's get a divorce!"
"Xiaoyun! Let me try again! The last time! I can do it!"
"Needless to say, no matter how many times you try, it won't work! You have no life!"
"..."
As soon as Uncle Zeng stopped his bass, a roaring high-pitched sound exploded from his throat without any warning, as if it exploded with the force of a bomb!
