Chapter 16: Stomach aches
(Brothers and sisters, if you have the trouble of recommending votes in your hand, throw two tickets, thank you.) )
It is said that after Liu Tao came out of Cuiyuan Pavilion, he took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket, put it in his hand and played with it for a while, and put it back in his pocket. Originally, he was going to go to Zhang Liang's store tomorrow just to go around, after all, he only had 900 yuan in his pocket to buy lottery tickets today, which basically couldn't buy any good wool. Unexpectedly, pies fell from the sky, and someone insisted on sending money to his door, so he had to laugh.
Although he can't see the expression on Mr. Zhang's face now, he believes that Mr. Zhang's mood at this time will definitely not be much better. It was already a sure thing, but in the end, the boat capsized in the gutter, and he lost his wife and soldiers. No matter who you are, it's quite depressing to encounter such a thing.
However, these have nothing to do with Liu Tao. He looked at his surroundings and knew that it was not very far from his home, so he simply walked back.
When he got home, there was a group of children playing in the yard in front of the bachelor building. When they saw Liu Tao coming, they all surrounded him at once.
"Brother Liu Tao, we went to your house in the morning to play with you, and my aunt said that you were not at home. Where have you been? A fat boy who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old shook his hand and asked.
"I went to play with my classmates for a while. What are you doing here? Liu Tao touched the fat boy's head and asked with a smile.
"We're playing cards here. Would you like to play with us? The fat boy quickly replied.
"It's too easy to play cards with you. Okay, let's fight, I'll watch from the side, okay? Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Good!" The fat boy readily agreed.
Then, everyone formed a circle and began to fight royalists. Liu Tao sat behind one of the little girls and watched her touch the cards.
"Brother Liu Tao, you said last time you took me to the park to play. When are we going? The little girl asked in a childish voice as she touched the cards.
"Brother Liu Tao, you are eccentric. How can you just take Haifeng there? We're going to go together, too! A little girl sitting next to her followed.
"Wait next week. I'm going out tomorrow to run some errands. Liu Tao thought for a moment and said.
"That's what you said. Come on, retractor. Haifeng said as she held out her little thumb.
Liu Tao smiled and stretched out his little thumb.
The two little fingers hooked together.
The two of them said thoughtfully: "Pull the hook, hang yourself, and you will not change for a hundred years!" ”
Seeing the two of them like this, other children, including the fat boy, also wanted to hook up with Liu Tao and hang themselves, but Liu Tao had no choice but to meet their requirements one by one.
Next, Liu Tao looked at Haifeng's cards and instructed her to play the cards. With these kids, he doesn't even need to use his brain.
Soon, an afternoon passed.
It was almost five o'clock when a middle-aged woman came out on a bicycle. When Haifeng saw the other party, he threw down the cards in his hand and ran over and shouted, "Mom! ”
"Auntie!" Liu Tao and the rest of the children hurriedly greeted each other.
"Liu Tao, aren't you about to take the college entrance examination? Why don't you review at home and run out to play with them? Haifeng's mother asked with a smile after seeing Liu Tao.
"I went to play with my classmates today, and when I came back from outside, I saw them playing here, so I played with them here for a while." Liu Tao scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassed.
"It's not early, let's go home quickly. Otherwise, your parents will come out again and call you home for dinner. Haifeng's mother said to the remaining children.
"Brother Liu Tao, don't forget to take us to the park next week." Before leaving, the fat boy said to Liu Tao.
"Don't worry. Hurry up and go home. Liu Tao waved his hand at him and said.
The fat boy nodded, said goodbye to Haifeng's mother, left the yard, and walked to the left.
"Liu Tao, is your mother at home?" After everyone left, Haifeng's mother asked.
"I guess I'm at home. I haven't been home yet, so I don't know. Liu Tao replied.
"Let your mom come to my house at night. Your uncle won't be back tonight, and I'll have nothing to do at home. Haifeng's mother said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go home and talk to her. Auntie, Haifeng, goodbye! When Liu Tao said this, he waved his hand at Haifeng's mother and son, and then walked home.
Haifeng looked at his back, biting her lip, not knowing what she was thinking. Perhaps, in her eyes, an elder brother like Liu Tao is very worthy of worship.
When Liu Tao pushed the door open, his mother, Ai Mei, was sitting on the edge of the bed embroidering. Seeing her son come back, she put down her work and said, "There are less than three months to take the college entrance examination, don't be like this all day long, let the neighbors laugh." Look at Zhang Qian, who studies at home all day long. ”
"Dear mother, don't worry, I know it." Liu Tao walked behind his mother and helped her massage her cervical spine. Because of the perennial embroidery, Liu Tao's mother suffers from cervical spondylosis, and after sitting for a little longer, she will feel uncomfortable.
"You can coax me with words all day long. If you really don't like to learn, when you finish your course, go learn a skill. As the old saying goes: it is better to have money than to have a skill. Even if you learn to drive, you won't starve. Ai Mei's words were full of helplessness. In fact, which parent doesn't want her son to become a dragon and her daughter to become a phoenix, but her baby son just doesn't like to learn, what can she do? She can't put a kitchen knife around his neck and force him to learn, right? Simply, it's better to let him do what he likes, as long as he can be healthy and happy.
"I said, Mom, in your eyes, am I so useless? Didn't you see that I was looking for Zhang Qian to tutor me with my homework yesterday? I don't have much time left, but I'll try. Trust me, your son, you won't be disappointed. Liu Tao said with an oath. Ever since he had the Sky Eye, he felt that he had spoken a lot harder than before. In the past, his only choice in the face of his mother's words was to go back to his room with his tail between his legs.
"Zhang Qian is a good boy, you have to learn from others. I'll cook, you go back to the house and study. As soon as Ai Mei finished speaking, she got out of bed and walked to the door.
Liu Tao walked out, watched his mother enter the kitchen, and asked, "Mom, isn't it Saturday today?" Where's my dad? ”
"Your aunt is going back to his hometown, call him and ask him to drive with him. I guess it's time to come back later. Aimei replied.
Liu Tao's aunt is the leader of the Science and Technology Commission, and Liu Tao's father drove for him. When there is a dinner on weekdays, my aunt will also take Liu Tao's father to eat and drink, and the relationship between the two families is very good.
"Then you can cook first. I went back to my house and read the book. As soon as Liu Tao finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room.
However, when he entered the room, he did not sit down at the desk, but collapsed directly on the bed. A lot of things happened when he went out on such a trip today, which made him feel a little messed up. However, there is a name imprinted in his mind, and that name is Zhao Lan.
When he saw Zhao Lan for the first time, he felt that the other party looked very pleasing to the eye. Especially when eating in a restaurant, her tears made him feel the urge to hug her.
However, if Zhao Lan and Zhang Qian were put together and let him choose, Liu Tao would still choose the latter. After all, he has known Zhang Qian for many years and knows each other well. He also knew very well in his heart that if he hadn't studied too scum, Zhang Qian would not have rejected his pursuit. Anyway, he didn't have the slightest interest in learning.
Thinking of Zhang Qian, Liu Tao looked towards the ceiling. As a result, it was found that Zhang Qian was holding her stomach and humming, looking very painful.
He jumped up from the bed in fright. Quickly get out of bed, open the door and run upstairs.
When he arrived at the door of Zhang Qian's house, he adjusted his breathing slightly, then knocked on the door and asked, "Zhang Qian, are you at home?" ”
"Liu Tao? Come on in! When Zhang Qian heard that it was Liu Tao's voice, she hurriedly shouted.
Liu Tao immediately pushed the door in.
"Zhang Qian, how did you get this?" Liu Tao saw her sweating profusely, and hurriedly came to her and asked with concern.
"I was dizzy from reading a book just now, and I wanted to take a break in bed. Who knew that as soon as I stood up, I had a sharp pain in my stomach. Zhang Qian said weakly.
"It can't be an appendicitis attack, right?" Liu Tao guessed. His dad used to have a lot of stomach aches and later had appendicitis surgery.
Zhang Qian shook her head and said, "I may be a good thing." Pour me a cup of hot water. ”
Liu Tao didn't say a word, found a thermos and poured a glass of water, then helped Zhang Qian sit up, let her lean on the bedside table, and feed her water.
"Are you feeling better?" Liu Tao waited until she took a few sips and asked.
Zhang Qian nodded and said, "I don't feel as painful as I did just now." ”
"That's good. Here, drink some more. Liu Tao said with a smile. Fortunately, he took a look at Zhang Qian's room just now, otherwise Zhang Qian would have to suffer from pain.
"By the way, Liu Tao, did you come to me for something?" Zhang Qian took a sip of water and asked. You know, it's not dinner time yet, if Liu Tao came to study, it would be a little early.
"When I was reading a book in the house just now, I remembered that the math teacher seemed to have assigned a set of papers this week, so I came up and asked if you were done." Liu Tao casually made up a reason.
"You don't want to copy me again, do you?" Zhang Qian asked with a puzzled face. If it had been before, she wouldn't have had any doubts. But now Liu Tao's image has been completely changed in her mind, if she continues to copy homework, how can she be embarrassed.
Liu Tao shook his head and said, "I'm not copying now, but borrowing." As you know, I do want to study hard now, and I'm working on it. However, my foundation is not good, especially in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and I can quickly improve my grades without memorization. That's why I want to see your papers, and if I don't understand anything, I can ask you directly. ”
"I see. I thought you were hot-blooded for three minutes, and you were back in shape after two days. Zhang Qian couldn't help but laugh. It didn't matter if she smiled like this, her stomach, which was already not painful, began to hurt again.
"Otherwise, I'll give you a belly rub." Liu Tao saw her grinning in pain, and said.
"Does it work?" Zhang Qian asked with some disbelieving.
"Of course it works. My mom used to rub my stomach a lot when I had a stomachache. Liu Tao said seriously.
"Okay, then you can do it." Zhang Qian saw that Liu Tao said so sincerely, and she was embarrassed to say anything else, after all, the other party was also for her good.
Liu Tao stretched out his hand to lift her underwear, revealing her white and tender belly. Then, he rubbed his hands together, rubbed them hot, quickly placed them on her belly button, and then slowly spun them. Wait until you feel that your palms are out of heat, and continue to repeat.
"How? Doesn't it feel a lot more comfortable? Liu Tao asked with a smile. When his palm touched the other person's body, he could clearly feel his heart beat faster, and his lower body reacted.
Zhang Qian didn't speak, just nodded. She was by Liu Tao like this, and bursts of heat kept coming, and there was an indescribable comfort.
"Okay, right?" Liu Tao felt that it was about the same, and withdrew his hand.
"No, just rub it a little longer." Zhang Qian opened her eyes and said coquettishly.
Liu Tao shook his head, rubbed his hands together, and put them on her stomach again. Then, Zhang Qian's eyes closed again.
After almost five minutes, Zhang Qian opened her eyes and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Okay." Thank you. ”
"We're all friends, so there's no need to be so polite. If you're okay, I'll go back first. I'll come back to you after I'm done eating. Liu Tao stood up as he spoke.
At this time, the door was opened, and Zhang Dequan walked in outside. When he saw Zhang Qian lying on the bed and Liu Tao standing next to him, he was stunned for a moment.
"Uncle Zhang is good!" Liu Tao hurriedly said hello.
Being shouted by Liu Tao like this, Zhang Dequan came back to his senses and smiled: "Liu Tao, you came up to learn from Qianqian again." ”
"yes. I came up to Zhang Qian to borrow a math paper. Liu Tao replied as if he had suddenly woken up.
"That's right. Okay, you two talk first, I'll cook. Zhang Dequan smiled at him, and then walked out.
"I really didn't expect your dad to come back at this time, and it's really not good for him to see us like this. Explain it to him in the evening so he doesn't get me wrong. Liu Tao waited until Zhang Dequan went out, looked at Zhang Qian, who was still half-lying on the bed, and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Zhang Qian got up and walked to the desk, took out the math paper and handed it to him.
"I'll come back to you when I'm done eating." Liu Tao took the roll, opened the door and walked out.
"Liu Tao, let's eat here." Zhang Dequan saw Liu Tao come out, and hurriedly greeted.
Liu Tao shook his head and said, "When I came up just now, my mother was already cooking at home. Uncle Zhang, you can eat, I'll go home to eat first, and then come back to Zhang Qian to help with homework after eating. ”
"Yes, go ahead." Zhang Dequan nodded and said.
Liu Tao hurriedly went downstairs and returned to his home. Fortunately, he and Zhang Qian really have nothing, otherwise they would have to skin him if they were bumped into by Zhang Dequan!
