Because he promised Song Yimian to watch the game before, on Saturday, Tao You hurried to do his homework, even when he was eating.

"Xiaoyou, just eat well, just hurry up and do your homework later, there is still one day tomorrow." Father Tao saw that Tao You was absent-minded, and after a few bites of hastily eating, he continued to do his homework, and he couldn't take care of the food in his mouth.

Tao You shook his head, finished a question, picked up chopsticks, stuffed his food, and said, "I'll go to find Song Yimian tomorrow." ”

Mother Tao put vegetables in her bowl and asked, "What are you going to do?" Tao You's results this time are okay, she can go out and relax appropriately, but she still needs to ask clearly.

"Go and see ......" Tao You blurted out, reacted halfway through speaking, rolled his eyes, slurred, and did not continue to reveal.

Tao's mother keenly sensed that something was wrong, knocked on the bowl lightly, and reminded: "What to see, Tao You, you figure it out, you are the end of the midterm examination in the first volume of high school, not the end of the college entrance examination, don't waste too much time on playing, distinguish the priorities, and make it easy." ”

"Look at it, look at it, you're in a hurry again." Without waiting for Tao You to speak, Tao's father spoke first, "Xiao You hasn't said anything yet, you start again, in case they just go to the bookstore to read books, museums to see exhibitions, watch competitions, etc., then they are all learning in disguise, and they are all knowledge that can't be learned from textbooks, that's a good thing." ”

When Tao You heard the words 'watch the game', his heart skipped a beat, his teeth clenched his chopsticks, he nodded according to Tao's father's words, and his eyes glanced at Tao's mother, observing her reaction.

"I'm afraid she'll forget her main task, it's a reminder!" Mother Tao put down the dishes and chopsticks hard, and collided with the table, making a 'bang', a crisp sound.

Tao You was so frightened that the rice he picked up fell on the table, and said carefully: "Let's just go out and walk around, Hong Xiqi and they are also there, it won't be too long." ”

Tao's mother continued to pick up the bowl to eat, and she didn't forget to say Tao's father: "You are the best at talking every day, and you can't stop your mouth when you eat." ”

Father Tao and Tao You both buried their heads in the rice, dull and did not dare to refute, and the meal was quiet, leaving only the slight sound of the touch of the dishes and chopsticks.

"Dad, thank you just now." After eating, Tao You helped put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, glanced at Tao's mother in the living room, and came to Tao's father who was washing the dishes, and thanked him in a low voice.

Father Tao glanced at her, pulled the corners of his mouth, and replied in a low voice: "Your father and I sacrificed so much just now, should you tell me what you are going to do later." ”

Tao You stood there, scratching his head, avoiding Tao's father's eyes, struggling with whether to tell the truth.

"Hey, forget it, our little girl has grown up, she has become a big girl, she has her own little secret, she refuses to tell us anything, it's okay, Dad understands." Dad Tao sighed deeply and made the law excited.

Tao You couldn't listen to this way of talking, it felt like someone had poured a big jar of sticky, sweet honey on her from the beginning, and the whole person became sticky and uncomfortable: "Dad! You can talk well. After speaking, she looked back at Tao's mother's position, and after making sure that she would not come over for the time being, she hooked Tao's father's shoulder, leaned into his ear and said, "I told you, you are not allowed to tell your mother, you swear." ”

"I swear, I won't tell your mother." Dad Tao stopped what he was doing, put on his gloves, put on his gloves, raised three fingers, swore cohesively, and waited for Tao You's words.

Tao You cleared his throat, glanced back secretly, and quickly said, "Let's go watch the tennis match." ”

"Net ......!" Dad Tao was a little away from her, and shouted out in shock, forgetting to pay attention to the volume, the sound was so loud that his voice could be heard in every corner of the house, Tao You was so frightened that he stomped his feet, and quickly signaled him to be quieter.

Before Dad Tao could continue, Mother Tao's voice faintly came from the bedroom: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Father Tao hadn't recovered from the shock, he reflexively replied, then turned his head, paused for a few seconds, took off his gloves, frowned, lowered his voice, and said to Tao You seriously: "Tennis game? Tao You, do you know what you're doing? How many times has your mother banned you, you, why don't I know, when did you become so bold and dare to commit a crime against the wind, not afraid of being found out by your mother and beating you. He wanted to repent.

Tao You didn't think so

There is something to watch the game, but Tao's mother will really beat her because of this, so she anxiously pulled Tao's father's arm and said: "Dad, it's just a game, don't tell your mother, your mother won't know." ”

Father Tao took a deep breath, thought of something again, and asked tentatively, "Do you have anything else to hide from us?" ”

Tao You gasped, pursed his lips, and stared at Father Tao with wide eyes.

Dad Tao felt that it was not good, she must have something to do like this, she would still be beaten, she still didn't know it, just wanted to speak, but listened to Tao You's mouth: "There is one more thing, that is, well, that, I joined the tennis club." After speaking, she lowered her head, didn't dare to look at Daddy Tao, put her hands behind her back, and looked like she was honestly listening to the training.

The moment Tao You's voice fell, Dad Tao felt that his blood was flowing backwards, rushing straight to his head, his eyes were dark, he staggered back, stood firm on the platform, and it took a while to ease up.

Seeing this, Tao You hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Dad, are you okay?" ”

Dad Tao brushed her hand away, pointed at her with his finger, and the volume rose again: "You are really ......!" ”

"What's the matter? Shocked, what did you two say? Tao's mother changed her clothes and walked out, "I'll go out, Tao You, you have a break at noon, and you will have the energy to study in the afternoon." ”

"It's okay," Dad Tao still said, but he didn't seem to know what to say except for this sentence, "Why did you go out at noon?" ”

"I made an appointment with some old friends." Mother Tao quickly packed her bag at the door, "I'm too late, if you have anything to bring, send me a message, I'll buy it later." ”

Tao You obediently helped Tao's mother close the door and quickly returned to the kitchen, only then did he dare to speak in a normal volume: "Dad, you must help me keep it secret, you see, I didn't delay my studies when I joined the club, right, I have made progress in my studies, the club is not busy, three days a week, and I don't delay important classes, which is equivalent to relaxing and exercising." She explained quickly.

"Didn't your tennis racket be put away by your mother? How do you play the ball? Dad Tao crossed his waist and asked the key.

"Playing ball, playing what?" Mother Tao opened the door again, and when she heard Father Tao's words, her eyes swept over the two of them and asked.

Tao You looked at Dad Tao for help, Dad Tao received the signal from her, touched the tip of his nose, cleared his throat and said: "What, I, I made an appointment with a few of my colleagues to play badminton. ”

After Tao's mother finished taking the things, she looked at Tao's father and laughed, her eyes were full of doubt: "What you said, why don't I believe it so much?" ”

"It's okay to exercise, just in moderation, don't just start playing for too long." Tao's mother reminded while hurrying out of the door.

Father Tao waited for Mother Tao's figure to completely disappear in the corridor before closing the door, sitting at the dining table, and looking at Tao You.

Tao You's voice became more and more empty at this time, and his words were vague: "I took it out by myself before." ”

"Xiao Song doesn't know that your mother doesn't agree with you playing, right?" Dad Tao asked again.

Tao You nodded with difficulty: "He knows." ”

Father Tao felt that he had just asked a superfluous question, and if he was discovered by Mother Tao in the future, he would not be able to escape; "You still let him help you hide it, if I don't ask today, you won't tell us."

"Forget it, I'll hide this matter for you first, and don't let us worry about it day by day, hey, your mother will find out sooner or later, think about the wording for yourself, remember not to involve Ren Xiao Song."

The next morning, Tao You went out, the game only started in the afternoon, she planned to turn a corner to see Grandma Tang, Uncle Zhilin's family left at the beginning of the month, and Grandma Tang's house was deserted again, she couldn't bear it.

"Grandma Tang!" She pushed the door in, the room was quiet, Grandma Tang was half-leaning on the chaise longue, sleeping soundly, holding a thermos in her hand, and the blanket was half down on the ground.

Tao You walked over lightly and helped Grandma Tang cover the blanket, Grandma Tang fell ill in her early years and was particularly afraid of the cold, so she had already put on her jacket at this time.

Grandma Tang didn't sleep very deeply, and when Tao You covered her with a blanket, she opened her eyes slowly, and didn't speak for a while, as if she hadn't reacted yet.

Tao You stared at Grandma Tang's eyes for a while

No, she seems to be a lot older, her eyes have become a little chaotic, not as bright as before, her face has many more wrinkles, she has lost a lot of weight, her cheeks are a little sunken, and her complexion is very bad.

"Grandma Tang, I've come to see you." Tao You whispered softly in Grandma Tang's ear.

Grandma Tang sat up and said slowly: "Xiaoyou is here, why did you come so early and don't sleep for a while." There was tiredness in his tone.

Tao You didn't know why Grandma Tang was suddenly like this, and asked worriedly: "Grandma Tang, what's wrong with you, do you want to go to the hospital to see?" ”

Grandma Tang smiled and shook her hand indifferently, the wrinkles on her face were piled together: "It's an old problem, the weather is getting cooler, just wait for it to warm up, go, go and sit on the sofa." ”

"Why are you free to come here today?" Grandma Tang pushed a plate of fruit and small snacks in front of Tao You, took her hand and asked.

Tao You grinned happily: "In the afternoon, Song Yimian and their tennis team have a game, I went to watch the game, just after the homework was done, I am afraid that you will be bored alone, so I will come to see you first, by the way, Grandma Tang, this midterm exam, I have made great progress, and I am ranked in the top 100 in the year." She picked some light topics and said that she wanted to make Grandma Tang happy.

"Okay, good, Xiao You and Xiao Song are very powerful, Grandma Tang is really happy for you." Grandma Tang laughed from the bottom of her heart, after Zhilin and his family left, she had never been so happy again.

At noon, Tao You stayed to eat, and Grandma Tang specially instructed her to cook more of her favorite dishes, but she ate very little.

Tao You looked at the rice that could be eaten in two or three bites in Grandma Tang's bowl, and remembered her appetite for eating a full bowl of every meal before, and became even more worried: "Grandma Tang, why do you eat such a little food, how can it be enough." ”

"I don't have much appetite lately, so it's enough to eat, and it's a waste if I can't eat more." Grandma Tang slowly sent the rice to her mouth, and did not forget to give Tao You vegetables, "Your favorite prawns, eat more." ”

Halfway through the meal, Grandma Tang suddenly held the chopsticks, lowered her head and closed her eyes, Tao You was frightened, put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to Grandma Tang, bent down and called her softly, raised her hand and put it down, not daring to move her easily, but fortunately, Grandma Tang raised her head in a few seconds.

Tao You's heart lowered half of his throat: "Grandma Tang, what's wrong with you, let's go to the hospital to take a look, we can accompany you." ”

Grandma Tang rubbed her temples, her voice was still so tired: "I eat less, I'm a little anemic, I just need to eat more blood supplements, I don't need to go to the hospital, I don't know my own body, I've been like this for so many years." ”

Tao You was worried about a meal, and after the meal, Grandma Tang sat at the dining table, bent over, supported her forehead with her hands, closed her eyes, and began to nap again uncontrollably, Tao You didn't bother anymore, and went out after saying hello.

Passing by Jian Lanxuan, Tao You remembered the book that the Chinese teacher asked them to buy, pause slightly, look inside, or turn around and leave.
