Chapter 41: Quarrels
Tao You and Tao's father and Tao's mother are almost at home at the same time.
"Eh, we just passed by your school, is there any activity in the stadium next to it?" Tao's mother changed her shoes and asked, "I see that it is very lively inside, the lights are so bright, it seems that the lights are not turned on usually." ”.
Tao You was shocked, subconsciously dodged his eyes, and replied weakly: "I didn't go there just now, I don't know, maybe they organized it outside." ”
Dad Tao went into the house and drank a sip of water, looked at Tao You and said, "Isn't the bus stop next to that stadium, you didn't go there, so where do you go to take the bus?" ”
Tao You sometimes really hated Daddy Tao's keen reconnaissance ability, so he changed his posture on the sofa and slowly spoke: "I, Song Yimian and they went to the bus stop on the other side, there is a fried chicken restaurant over there, and I bought some fried chicken to eat." Her words were half-true, and she smiled unnaturally at Mother Tao, who was sitting on the other side.
Tao's mother looked at the email in her mobile phone, during which she looked up at Tao You, and asked inexplicably, "What are you smiling at?" As he spoke, he laughed along.
Tao You immediately smiled: "It's nothing." She picked up an orange from the coffee table, peeled it, handed half of it to Tao's mother, leaned over to her, and talked about it, "Mom, what did you eat tonight?" ”
Tao's mother ate oranges, looked at the email intently with her eyes, and replied vaguely: "What can there be, your little grandmother is a vegetarian, you don't know, the food at night is basically vegetarian, just to clear the stomach, some time ago the food was too greasy, every time your father cooks rice, he puts oil as if he doesn't want money, it's too greasy." ”
It's not as exaggerated as Tao's mother said, Tao's father's cooking skills over the years have not been practiced in vain, but Tao's mother has been eating relatively light now. Tao You secretly felt sorry for Tao's father.
"How are you going to study tonight?" Tao's mother asked rhetorically, "I'm going to drink wedding wine tomorrow, and the day will pass." ”
Tao You tugged at the schoolbag strap with his hand, thinking of the homework that he had barely touched inside, and said in a panic: "I'll do it later, get up early tomorrow and do it later, and the day after tomorrow, I'll finish it." She didn't answer Tao's mother's question directly.
Tao's mother was not interested in her arrangement, and said while replying to the email: "You can arrange it yourself." ”
Tao You didn't go back to the room, he was lazily half lying on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and reported his safety in the group, and asked about the game by the way, and waited for a while No one answered, and it was estimated that he only cared about watching the game.
"Eh, Tao You, have you come out with the results of your monthly exam this time?" Tao's mother finished her work and said leisurely.
Tao Youyi was excited, the alarm bell rang in his head, and he said honestly: "I haven't produced the results yet, I have to wait for next week." ”
"And how do you feel about yourself?" Tao's mother didn't give up and continued to ask.
Tao You sat up with a carp, faced Tao's mother, and said seriously: "Don't ask, you can't do well every time you ask." It's not superstition, it's just that every time Tao's mother asks like this, her grades will fluctuate more or less, and every time it is on a downward trend.
"Cut." Mother Tao didn't care if she had these or not, "What kind of rolls do you make, don't you count them in your heart?" You stay at school for a week, and you don't call home, and we don't know your specific situation, how well you study, whether you can keep up with the rhythm, whether your homework is completed well......" Tao's mother couldn't stop again.
"Why don't you call me, do you have to wait for me to call?" Tao You interrupted Tao's mother's words and retorted.
After Tao's father finished cleaning up, he also came to the living room, heard Tao You's words, and said, "We're afraid of disturbing your study." After speaking, he raised the thermos cup in his hand, blew off the tea leaves at the mouth of the bottle, and took a slight sip.
Tao You got the answer, pursed her lips, and didn't know what to do to respond for a while, she thought it would be because she was too busy with work and didn't have time to call this answer, after all, it was like this before.
"Tao You, did you fail the exam?" Tao's mother said it.
Tao Yu coughed a few times and said, "I don't know, I'm going to do my homework." She got up with her bag on her back, fled back to her room, and closed the door.
As soon as I lay down on the bed, the phone vibrated several times in a row.
'Xiao Youyou, Song Yimian has won again!! You can see how excited Hong Xiqi is from the text, with a video.
Tao You turned down the video after turning down his voice, and his ears were still listening to the movement outside.
In the video, it should be the last game, Song Yimian is running wantonly on the field, and the opponent on the opposite side is also a powerful one, constantly using skills to send out all kinds of difficult balls, although Song Yimian is temporarily ahead, but the score is very tight and very anxious, Tao You can feel Hong Xiqi and their nervousness at that time through the video, their eyes are staring at the mobile phone screen, and they dare not leave a minute or a second.
In the end, under Song Yimian's crisp smash, the game ended, Hong Xiqi's screams came from the mobile phone, mixed with the cheers of others, and the picture was shaky and uncomfortable, for a while it was Song Yimian who shook hands with the opponent on the field, and for a while it was Gu Yi and others, so she turned off the video and sent a congratulatory message in the group.
The wind outside the window was very strong, the window trembled, and there was a 'whirring" noise, Tao You sat at the desk and wrote his homework, but what he thought about was the moment when Song Yimian jumped up and smashed just now. The white light, from top to bottom, sparkled brightly on him, lining him more and more white, and the red team uniform on his body formed a sharp contrast, giving people a visual shock, the muscles on the limbs were distinct, one more point was too much, one point less was too little, the wind blew his shirt, the slight long hair was blown up, revealing a smooth and full forehead, at that moment, as if he was the center of this world, everything around him became so dim and inconspicuous. I don't know when they're going to end, it's too windy tonight, and I'm sweating so much, but don't catch a cold.
Tao You opened the video again, fast-forwarded to the moment of the smash, paused the screenshot, enlarged the photo and watched it carefully, silently admired Song Yimian's proud appearance and figure in his heart, and finally summarized the photos into an album called 'Wushuang', although this one was added, there were only three photos in total, and Tao You still divided a separate album.
Tao's mother knocked on the door and came in, and Tao You quickly buckled her phone on the table.
"Drink the milk." Tao's mother put the milk on the table, pointed to Tao You's mobile phone, and reminded, "Look at your mobile phone less, it hurts your eyes, learning is the most important task, you watch some funny and nonsensical videos on your mobile phone every day, don't do your homework, if you can't control yourself, I will confiscate it." ”
Tao You hurriedly put the phone in the drawer, and defended dissatisfiedly: "How can I watch videos all the time, I also have to learn, funny videos are to relieve stress, not what you keep saying, laugh, ten years less, besides, you can learn a lot by watching videos." ”
Mother Tao gently tapped her head and squinted at her: "Jing will find crooked reasoning." I'll tell you seriously, you're usually at school, and that's what you look like at night? Ten minutes of study, half an hour of play? I'll see how many points you can take this monthly exam, if the results come down, I will go to cram school on weekends in the future, and if you miss a few subjects, you will report a few subjects, if you can't do it at all, you will report it all to me! ”
"No, I don't want to go to cram school." Tao You's tone was impatient, frowning at Tao's mother, an irritability arose inexplicably in his heart, and he was very resistant to cram school, "There is a lot of homework, and I have to go to cram school, so I won't have time to rest." ”
Tao's mother waved her hand in front of her, with a serious expression: "If you don't want to go up, you have to go, I have to drag you there, which of my colleagues' children doesn't go to cram school, everyone is in a hurry to go to it, it's high school, Tao You, there is a sense of urgency, what university are you going to go to?" ”
Tao You was not convinced, and said: "People go to cram school, why do I have to go, cram school is suitable for them, but it may not be suitable for me, Song Yimian They didn't go to cram school, it's been so long since school started, a good cram school has long been full, and the tuition is ridiculously expensive, anyway, I won't go to anything." ”
After speaking, she leaned back in the chair with her hands on her chest, turned her face to the side, and pouted her lips not to look at Mother Tao.
"What are Song Yimian's achievements, what are your achievements, can you compare with others?" Tao's mother was also angry, and her volume rose several decibels, "If you can get the results of others, and if you are self-conscious, you can choose any university, and I can wake up laughing when I fall asleep!" You don't need me to worry about it here! ”
Tao You still didn't look back, his chest rose and fell violently, his eyes were full of tears, his vision gradually blurred, his fingers tightly picked his arms, not letting the tears fall, and stubbornly not speaking.
Father Tao heard the movement, entered the room, and as soon as he saw the situation, he knew that the mother and mother were arguing again, so he automatically became a peacemaker, and half-pushed the angry Mother Tao out of the room.
"You're really going to me off!" Mother Tao stroked her chest while going out.
Dad Tao closed the door, sat down in the corner of the bed, and asked gently, "Why did you quarrel with your mother again?" ”
Tao You couldn't hold back any longer, tears came out of her eyes, sliding down her cheeks, she wiped them with her sleeves, and said in a twitching voice: "Mom asked me to go to cram school, I don't want to go." The tone was very aggrieved.
Tao's father also reached out to help her wipe her tears, his voice was still calm, but it had magical power, which instantly soothed Tao You's irritable and aggrieved emotions: "It's just this little thing." Don't cry, don't you understand your mother, just follow her at this time, don't touch her scales, promise first, and then discuss when the results come out, she just suddenly remembered now, mention it, and I don't know what will happen when the time comes. ”
"I don't say yes! It was useless to go to the cram school before, and the grades didn't improve at all, and in the end I still learned it by myself, and I threw so much money into it in vain, isn't the lesson enough? Tao You didn't understand Tao's mother's thinking very much, and her tone was anxious, "Our family is not rich, and there is so much money to waste!" I'm under a lot of pressure to study now, and I can't rest when I go to tutoring on weekends! ”
Dad Tao patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I know that our Xiaoyou is very powerful, and his self-learning ability is also very strong, and he also wants to learn seriously, but after all, this college entrance examination is really too important, not on your own, it is still necessary to use external forces at the right time, you don't have to worry about money, even if we spend more money, as long as your grades can improve, even if it is only a little bit, it is worth it, and this money is not spent in vain!" ”
"Moreover, you are your mother's only biological daughter, there is no doubt that she is definitely the person who loves you the most in the world, how can she not let you have time to rest, she also doesn't want you to regret it later, why didn't you spend more time in high school to improve your grades, why didn't we force you to go to cram school, if you were someone else, she didn't care. Xiaoyou, your mother just wants to give you the best, there may be something wrong in the method, but you have to know that your parents will never harm you, we want you to be admitted to a university, and we don't say that it must be those top, ordinary ones are fine, I hope you can have more choices in your future life, you can go to the outside world to see, meet more friends, have a better life, have a stable job, be happy, don't have to worry about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar every day, you can only go out and see the world, You will find that the reed city is not worth mentioning at all, you see, hear, and feel completely different things, and those things will prompt you to grow faster, better adapt to different environments, see a completely different world, and your life will be more colorful. Your mother has just been transferred from work, there is too much backlog of work for her to do, the pressure is also very high, and the temper is not very good, so you should be more tolerant. ”
Tao You had stopped crying at this time, she understood her parents' good intentions, but she really had a psychological reaction to the cram school, she looked at Tao's father firmly and said, "Dad, I want to take the Yan University exam, is there any hope?" She couldn't help but whisper again.
"Good! This is the little ghost we can't defeat! Tao's father had a loud voice and affirmed to Tao You, "It's a good thing to have a goal, Dad believes that you can do it, I look forward to the day you get the admission letter of Yan University!" I'll persuade your mother to study hard. With that, he left the room.
Tao You was shocked by Tao's father's trust and goosebumps all over her body, her heart couldn't help but tremble, she turned around and took out her mobile phone, the page was still stuck in the photo, she looked at Song Yimian's vigorous figure, thinking that he was also going to take the Yanda exam, and suddenly felt that on this difficult road, he was not fighting alone, he was instantly full of motivation, turned off his mobile phone, and lowered his head to gnaw on the knowledge points.
