Chapter 11

The children in the Tie family are all capable of taking care of themselves, and they are all raised free-range. Their parents are uneducated and they have many children. It’s hard for them to just work, let alone tutoring and education.

Grandma is the Empress Dowager Cixi in the family, and everything big and small must be handled by her. Tie Jun is the eldest grandson, and he likes Grandma the most.

Grandma always ate on the small stove and never left the house to eat. The person who appeared most often on the small kang table was Tie Jun, and Lao Tie was not qualified to do so.

One egg a day made the younger brothers and sisters drool with greed, and Tie Jun felt disgusted after eating it. Grandma only ate five of a plate of small wheat dumplings, and the rest went into Tie Jun's stomach.

In that era, corn and noodles were not enough to satisfy one's hunger, let alone Xiao Zao every day. As time went by, the younger siblings began to become dissatisfied with grandma's favoritism, and Tie Jun became the core.

Lao Tie was so foolish and filial that he couldn't help his children being dissatisfied with me. He slapped everyone on the head who dared to talk back, including his own daughter-in-law.

I don’t know why, but my mother works exhaustingly in front of and behind the house every day, but she can never stop. The old lady makes things difficult for her in every possible way.

Tie Jun is a graduate student in Beijing, studying law, and will graduate in one year. He was working part-time at school during the holidays, earning more than ten yuan a day.

Grandma was suddenly critically ill, and Tie Jun hurried back. Grandma breathed a sigh of relief, took Tie Jun's hand, and said, "Jun, everything will be well with our family!"

After his grandma left, Tie Jun cried sadly. He didn't understand why his grandma said this. When things happened one after another at home, Tie Jun understood and had deep grudges with his younger brothers and sisters.

Tie Jun and Tielin were one year apart. They went to school together, took exams together, and got notices together. But the family could only provide for one of them, and the two brothers had a fierce quarrel. Grandma spoke up, and the eldest brother came up.

So Tie Lin joined the army and left without saying a word to Tie Jun. He knelt down and kowtowed three times to his parents, got up and left home without looking back.

Daya and Erya faced the same problem, and in the end one of them had to sacrifice. Daya was very proactive and stopped going to high school before graduating and worked as a temporary worker in the factory.

The eldest girl is beautiful, sings well, speaks quickly, and has a fierce personality, so she is nicknamed "Little Pepper".

One New Year's Eve, there was a party in the factory, and Lao Tie's whole family came. About ten minutes before the party started, something went wrong with the stereo, and the factory manager kept a cold face and said nothing.

At this time, Da Ya was pushed onto the stage by the sisters. At that time, she did not know that this was called a rescue. Da Ya was not afraid of the stage and shouted: "I don't need a speaker, I guarantee that everyone in the entire auditorium can hear it."

Lao Tie glared and stood up to start scolding, but Erya held him tightly, "Dad, just let my sister sing, I like to hear it!" Then Lao Tie sat down and stared at Ya with a dark face.

"Are you like me, lowering your head in the sun and working silently and sweating?

Are you like me, even if you suffer indifference, you will never give up on the life you want..."

The song sounded, and the auditorium fell silent. Da Ya pinched her pigtails, and her voice penetrated everyone's heart loudly. Lao Tie was shocked, covered his ears, and then let go.

If language can take you into another world, then music can definitely penetrate into a corner of your heart. Da Ya's singing is just like this, it touches your heart!

"I have never forgotten myself, my commitment to myself, and my persistence in love!

I know that my future is not a dream, and I live every minute seriously.

My future is not a dream, my heart moves with hope...

Move with hope!"

After Da Ya finished singing, her face was shining, and the audience was still silent. There was only a low sob. Da Ya's expression dimmed, feeling that she had embarrassed her father.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

The factory director stood up, raised his hands above his head, and clapped loudly.

"Wow..."

The whole auditorium was boiling, the sound of slaps was like a downpour, and no one could escape.

Da Ya smiled, bowed deeply, her tears were like broken pearls, dripping on the stage, as if she could hear the ticking voice saying: "Your future is not a dream!"

That night, Da Ya sang three songs a cappella. The sound system had been repaired long ago, and the host was surprised to hear it before he walked on stage.

Da Ya became famous and was specially recruited into the literary and art propaganda team. After a year, she became a full-time employee.

After that, Da Ya won the popular singing championship for three consecutive years in the city singing competition, and she began to have a dream.

By chance, Da Ya and her sisters went to the Guangming Song and Dance Hall and met Dong Xiaochuan, a singer who had just arrived in Bingcheng.

As soon as Da Ya sat down, Jia Guangming came over and asked her to sing two songs for free, paying 20 yuan for each song. Da Ya smiled and refused, even though she was very tempted.

Not for anything else, just because Jia Guangming and Tie Jun are classmates, and Da Ya doesn't want to owe his selfish elder brother a favor.

The singers on the stage howled and jumped along with the band, as if they had been given blood. Jia Guangming grinned, whistled and stamped his feet, as if he had firecrackers tied to his buttocks.

After a few songs, the host in a white suit came onto the stage and said, "Next, let's welcome Ah Chuan, the winner of the Youth Singing Competition's Excellence Award. Everyone welcomes her with applause!" The host in a white suit took the lead in applauding.

Dong Xiaochuan came on stage holding his guitar, smiled lightly, and bowed, "I give you a song called "Wolf", I hope you like it!" Bowing again, the host left the stage.

Ogawa was wearing white jeans, a large floral shirt, and an unruly smiling face under her flowing long hair. Daya's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

The ding-ding-dong-dong sound of the guitar sounded, and a breeze blew through the hot dance hall. Everyone felt a bit of coolness coming from their hearts.

"I am a wolf from the north, walking in the boundless wilderness..."

"good!"

“Sounds great!”

"Whoosh..."

As soon as I opened my voice, cheers and whistles sounded together. I was used to hearing the band and the roar. This simple and charming guitar playing and singing suddenly made people's eyes brighten.

The sound of the piano was like crying and complaining, and the singing pierced the heart. Ogawa's hoarse and vicissitudes of voice seemed to be telling her own ups and downs in life. Da Ya closed her eyes and listened attentively.

Ogawa's slender fingers flew on the strings, and notes flew out from his fingers, jumping in every corner of the dance hall.

"Not for anything else, just for the legendary beautiful grassland..."

The chords sounded, and the "bouncing" sound made people's hearts twitch, and it felt like the strings would break in the next moment, and at this time, a louder sound roared out from the piano box.

"Just for the legendary...beautiful...grassland!"

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, one of the strings slipped, and a trace of blood appeared on Dong Xiaochuan's finger. The girl rushed out and ran to the stage to grab Xiaochuan's hand.

"Thank you. I'm fine. It's my first time to come to the beautiful Ice City. I'm...a little excited!"

Xiaochuan took a step back, avoided Da Ya's hand, smiled and bowed to the audience, and Da Ya was left hanging on the stage.

"Thank you! Thank you everyone for your applause and encouragement to Xiaochuan!"

The applause woke up Da Ya, who turned around and walked off the stage, "I know you are a lark from Ice City, can you please sing a song?" Xiaochuan's voice sounded from behind.

Da Ya turned around in shock, and with just one glance, she fell into the deep lake.

"Okay, I'm afraid I can't keep up..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Ogawa blinked, and his half-covered long hair was blown by the wind, revealing his broad forehead, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was a bit evil.

Jia Guangming, who was behind the bar, was happy and tilted his head and told the manager, "Sign the iron flower too, and this kid can be tied up." The manager smiled and went to prepare, and Jia Guangming snapped his fingers.
