The temperature rose, and the reed city, which had been cloudy for several days, finally ushered in the sun.

Tao You folded the transcript and papers of the mid-term exam carefully, sandwiched them in the textbook, and then put them back in her schoolbag, politely declined Hong Xiqi's invitation to dinner, and went straight to the bus stop after leaving the school gate. Entering the community, she looked at the red sun that was gradually sinking in the west, her mood was inexplicably high, and she rarely jumped all the way home.

"So happy?" Dad Tao is on vacation today, he prepared the dishes early, and he was bending over to mop the floor at the moment, when he heard Tao You humming a song and entering the door, he asked with a smile.

The corners of Tao You's already raised mouth intensified at this time, she threw her schoolbag down on the side of the sofa, took off her coat, and went straight to the refrigerator to get a mung bean lolley to eat.

Dad Tao was still waiting for Tao You's answer, just when he was tired, he stood up straight with the mople, moved his sore and stiff waist a few times, sat on the sofa, opened a bag of melon seeds, and swallowed.

"It's going to be winter, and you still eat, aren't you afraid of stomach pain?! When the time comes, I will regret it. Dad Tao pouted and looked at the cold popsicle in Tao You's hand, obviously he didn't eat it himself, but his teeth couldn't help but chatter, "When your mother comes back later, she will scold you again." ”

"I'm happy, what's wrong with eating one once in a while." Tao You was on the rise at this time, so he didn't care so much, he seemed to think of something, took a bite of the popsicle, and laughed to himself.

Tao's father rarely saw his daughter smile like this, turned sideways, looked at Tao You in front of him in amazement, and looked her up and down with his eyes, as if to determine whether this was his own daughter: "What's wrong with you?" Inexplicably, stupid? ”

"Not really!" Tao You raised her eyebrows, lifted the schoolbag and opened it, halfway through the zipper, she stopped again, closed the schoolbag, put it on the ground, and said mysteriously: "I'll talk about it when my mother comes back." ”

Dad Tao was stretching his neck curiously, his eyes followed Tao You's action of pulling the schoolbag to the inside, and when he saw Tao You pulling the schoolbag again, he retracted his gaze in a daze, looked at the clock on the wall, leaned on the sofa sideways, put his hands on the armrests of the sofa, stretched his feet forward, crossed and folded together, trembling slightly, this angle perfectly exposed his double chin: "Your mother is working overtime today, and she will arrive home very late." Xiaoyou, look, what you usually do, your father supports you, right? Seeing Tao You's change of mind, he began to play the sympathy card.

Tao You chewed the popsicle in her mouth, only a few bites, the popsicle was almost bottoming out, she rolled her eyes, thought for a few seconds, nodded, and didn't understand what Dad Tao meant.

"Then what are you happy about, you can't tell me first, I'll be happy first, and when your mother comes back, I'll tell her later, it's not too late." Dad Tao spread his hands and said.

Tao You bit off the last popsicle, was silent for a few seconds, and shook his head resolutely: "No, this is a big deal, I told you, you turned around and told your mother, I have to tell her about this matter in person." With that, she raised her hand, aimed her eyes, and threw a popsicle stick at the trash can not far away, and in one, she raised her head slightly, snapped her fingers, and carried her schoolbag into the room.

Father Tao glared, listened to Tao You's words, his heart was broken, and he shouted behind her: "Tao You, do you distrust your father so much?" How can I have such a big mouth! After speaking, he couldn't help but start self-reflection: It seems that what his daughter said is right, in case it is really a big deal, it is better to wait for Shujiang to come back and discuss it together, he has to know in advance, and he can only be anxious for a few hours, or make up some of the things that he doesn't have, it's better not to know, but she is so happy, it shouldn't be a bad thing, why can't she tell him first, his curiosity is up, and he is halfway up the card, how can he be the image of a big mouth in Tao You's heart, There's no majesty at all, it's time for a good change.

After thinking about it, Dad Tao cleaned up the mop, saw that the time was almost up, and went to the kitchen to cook.

At nearly ten o'clock in the evening, Tao's mother dragged her tired body home, her eyebrows and eyes were tired, she turned on the headlights, rubbed her temples, closed her eyes, and rested on the sofa.

Tao You heard the movement outside, turned on his mobile phone and looked at the time, it has been almost half a year since his mother was transferred to work, why is she still so busy. She put down her pen, pulled out the transcript and test paper from the book, unfolded it, smoothed out the wrinkles, and then went out of the room.

"Mom." Tao You walked to the sofa

Before, I poured a glass of warm water for Tao's mother and put it in front of her.

Mother Tao heard the sound, opened her eyes, and her voice was a little hoarse: "It's not early, you hurry up and wash and sleep, don't stay up late, you have been sleeping so late some time ago, can you take a look at your dark circles yourself, and your complexion is not good." ”

Father Tao also came out of the study at this time, looked at Mother Tao with some distress, and took the initiative to walk behind her and help her massage and relax.

Tao You nodded in response, handed the prepared report card to Tao's mother, and said proudly: "Mom, the midterm exam results are out, class thirteen, grade nine" grade ranking is a good result she has never had, "Teacher Wen went to class this afternoon, and specially praised me, amazing." ”

Tao's mother took the report card, looked at it carefully, Tao's father also leaned his head over, after a while, the two of them were happy on their faces, and the tiredness on Tao's mother's face was also swept away, and she couldn't believe her eyes, pointing to the report card and asking: "This, your teacher won't make a wrong score, right?" ”

Tao's father disagreed with Tao's mother's words: "Hey, why do you say that, how can this kind of exam correct the wrong score, this can only show that our daughter is angry and has been holding back her strength, and it has exploded at this time, why don't you believe it." When he saw the report card, he smiled so much that his face had a few more wrinkles, and his daughter gave them too many faces.

Mother Tao glanced at Father Tao backwards and spoke: "It's not that she rose too quickly all of a sudden, and she is just suspicious." ”

Dad Tao didn't care about Mom Tao, and nodded his head in response.

Tao You had long expected that her parents would be overjoyed when they saw this result, to be honest, she didn't expect that she would do so well in the exam, the moment she got the report card, she repeatedly confirmed the name and results on it several times, and specially asked Song Yimian to pinch her arm, for fear that she was dreaming.

"I said last time, I can do it, I don't need cram school." Tao You said confidently.

Tao's mother still kept her eyes on the roll, pointed at Tao You, obviously laughing, but what she said had a warning meaning: "Tao You, once successful, does not mean that you will be able to succeed in the future, you can keep up now, it does not mean that you can keep up in the future, the second and third years of high school, people who have fallen behind in their homework abound, you must not take it lightly, don't raise the tail on your ass too high, the cram school thing, you can put it down for the time being, but ......"

Without waiting for Tao's mother to finish speaking, Tao You pulled her voice to cut it off: "Know, Dao, ah, how many times I have said it over and over again, my ears can afford to hear the cocoon." With her report card to protect herself, she began to speak boldly.

Dad Tao echoed: "Xiaoyou, what your mother said makes sense, this is just the beginning, who can laugh to the end is not necessarily, your tendons, don't let go, in the case of studying hard, you should also pay attention to your body, don't get tired, the body is the capital." After speaking, he gave Tao You a thumbs up to express his affirmation of her, "However, your results this time are really good, good look, you say yes." Dad Tao pushed Mom Tao.

Tao You also looked at Tao's mother expectantly.

Tao's mother stepped forward to dodge Tao's father's hand, frowning slightly, but said: "Push *** what." After speaking, she looked at Tao You, and then looked down at the report card in black on a white background in her hand, and her voice returned to flat, "This score is good, but it can be better." ”

Tao You didn't hear the answer he wanted, the fire in his eyes was extinguished, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

"It's not early, hurry up and pack up and go to bed." Tao's mother put the roll on the coffee table, drank the water in the cup, got up and went to the bedroom, "I also went to sleep, I'm tired all day." She moved her neck as she walked, and Father Tao glanced at Tao You and followed Mother Tao. Fun Cabinet

Tao You sat alone in the living room, her eyes were focused, she didn't know what she was thinking, after a while, the sound of the horn outside the window pulled her thoughts back, Tao You blinked her pantothenic eyes, wiped away her physiological tears, took the report card, returned to the bedroom, and found that Song Yimian and several people sent her messages in the group to congratulate her, even they knew how hard-won their results were, and they rushed to congratulate her, why couldn't my mother.

'Youcub, your results this time, if you work harder, it is very possible to take the Yan University. Song Yimian sent her a message an hour ago.

Tao You replied slowly: "It's only a freshman in high school, and I've learned such a little thing, how can I compare it with the college entrance examination, you have it." The tone was very sad, and after replying to the message, she turned off the Internet and looked at herself on the glass window, reflected by the light

, sighed, turned off the light and climbed into bed.

In the master bedroom, Tao's mother sat on the bed with a mask and looked at her mobile phone, Tao's father finished handling the work, turned off the lights outside, returned to the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed, and stared at Tao's mother.

Tao's mother noticed Tao's father's gaze, threw a pillow on him, stroked the mask on her face, frowned, and opened her mouth slightly: "Look at *** like this, just say something if you have something!" ”

Dad Tao sighed again, with doubts in his tone, and indeed affirmed, "You are obviously very satisfied with Xiaoyou's grades, why can't you say a word of encouragement, how many times have I told you, what Xiaoyou needs is encouraging education, it is upward education, you say a word of encouragement to her, and you will not lose a piece of meat, but she can have the motivation to last for a long time after listening to it." ”

Tao's mother impatiently took off the mask on her face and put down her phone: "Just what you will say!" Good people let you do it, right, didn't you see it just now, just such an exam, her tail was cocked to the sky, that high-spirited, no matter how much I encourage it, she won't know where she is. ”

"It's that serious." Dad Tao disagreed and wanted to refute.

Tao's mother stood up and went to the bathroom to wash her face: "Okay, okay, you go to sleep quickly, what do you know." ”

Dad Tao looked at Tao's mother's back, climbed into bed, and looked at Tao's mother's still lit mobile phone, which showed the admission lines of various universities in the past few years, and saw Tao's mother's bedside table with an open notebook and a pen, which carefully recorded Tao You's results, as well as predictions for the future, and wrote the names of several universities next to it, especially Yan University, Tao's mother circled it many times with a pen, among the many names, it was especially obvious, he knew that Tao's mother was hard-mouthed, and she had already started planning for Tao You in private. He sighed and turned to lie down.

Tao's mother slowly washed her face, looked at herself in the mirror and was annoyed: she had already told herself that she wanted to change the way of education, she knew that Tao You was suitable for encouraging education, but after so many years, she suddenly asked her to say those words, she was still a little unaccustomed to it, and the compiled words turned around in her throat, and when she said it, she changed her taste. She was silent for a while, wiped her face and went back to her room, she still needed some time to change.
