Chapter 51: Puppy Love? (b)
"Coming back so late today?" Tao's mother tried on clothes on the balcony and said to Tao You, who had just entered the door.
Tao You walked a little hot, threw his coat onto the sofa, dragged heavy steps to the balcony, leaned on the door frame, and his tone was full of tiredness: "In the review stage, self-study has also been added." I had just finished two papers, and my brain couldn't move. ”
"If you don't check and fill in the gaps now, you'll cry during the exam." Tao's mother put the laundry basin and pushed Tao You into the door, "Hurry in, it's too cold outside, don't catch a cold." ”
Tao You's body didn't move, she just sweated, her clothes were uncomfortable sticking to her body, and she wanted to blow the wind for a while to collect her sweat: "I'm hot, and I'm sweating when I come back." As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew, which made Tao You tremble, itch his nose, and sneez.
"Close the door and come in! Regret it when you catch a cold, hurry up, go take a shower when you sweat. Mother Tao walked to the bathroom without looking back, "There's corn rib soup in the pot, you go drink some." ”
This can be had, Tao Youhan has already been collected, the cold began to rise, she obediently went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of soup, sat down at the dining table, took a sip slightly, the soup is very fresh, not greasy at all, when I get home at night in winter, it is perfect to drink such a bowl of hot soup, and the exhaustion is swept away, "Mom, Grandma Tang, have you contacted it?" ”
Mother Tao knew what she was talking about, so she also sat down at the table with a bowl of soup, and said, "I have been contacted for a long time, but the old lady is too stubborn to listen to what she says, and finally said that she was moved, I have discussed it with your Aunt Tingwan, and when this time is over, we will take the old lady to the hospital." ”
Seeing the complicated expression on Tao's mother's face, Tao You could imagine how she kept calling Grandma Tang to persuade her.
"Mom, do we have any arrangements for New Year's Eve this year?" Tao You remembered Hong Xiqi's invitation.
Mother Tao cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and asked rhetorically, "What arrangement do you hope to have?" There's still that much time, and we'll talk about it then. ”.
"It's New Year's Eve next Wednesday, why is it still early, if it's not arranged, I'll go out with Hong Xiqi and them." Tao Youwei frowned, she didn't really want to hear this answer, she was afraid that Tao's mother would make up her mind again, "If you want to go back to your hometown by then, then I won't go, tell people early, don't come to that day again, and then suddenly something happens." As she spoke, she followed behind Tao's mother, and she followed Tao's mother wherever she went.
"When I go to the bathroom, do you follow along?" Tao's mother glared at Tao You, who wanted to follow up in the bathroom.
Tao You held the doorknob with one hand, propped it on the door frame with the other, and leaned against the door to stop Tao's mother from closing the door: "No, Mom, it's been just a few days, can you give a quasi-letter?" People are still waiting for my reply. ”
Tao's mother reluctantly let go of her hand: "Let's go back on January 1st, you go play." ”
"Okay." In the next second, Tao You obediently helped Tao's mother close the door and entered the room.
Late at night, the snow that had been drifting intermittently all day became heavier and heavier, and it didn't take long for it to become a goose feather snow, which rose to the ground, and pure white snowflakes dotted the inky black sky, and the strong collision of the two classic colors of black and white would make people's eyes shine at any time. Outside the house is quiet, the square dance music that sounded on time every day has disappeared, not far from the street, the street lamps emit orange and yellow warm light, there are still a lot of cars, but the traffic is unusually smooth, there is no horn sound, occasionally a few people in the community or wearing hats or holding umbrellas, slowly passing on the path, a thin layer of snow has accumulated on the ground, some slippery, walking up will make a subtle 'creak' sound, leaving a string of footprints soon covered by new snow.
Tao You stood in front of the window, dressed neatly, and reached out of the window to catch the snow in a novel way, and put the mobile phone in front of him with the other hand, the flashlight of the mobile phone was bright, shining on a small circle of snow near the window, Tao You's nose was red by the wind, and her hands were also frozen unconscious, but she still didn't want to close the window, she withdrew her hand, clenched it into a fist and put it in the pocket of her clothes to keep warm, and the whole person lay on the windowsill, breathing deeply, and looking out in a daze.
In the four seasons, Tao You prefers winter the most, likes snow very much, likes snowball fights with friends, and also likes the comfort of nesting in a thick quilt, the winter in the previous city is also very cold, and it will snow, and there are friends who have snowball fights with her, but there is no taste of Weicheng, Tao's mother once laughed at her hypocrisy, breathing the same piece of air, how can there be a different taste, Tao You can't say what it feels like, but
It's just different, even if she left Weed City at a very young age and lived in another city for nearly ten years, the unique taste of Wey City will give her a sense of security and belonging, and there will be a feeling of 'finally back'.
Here, she can completely let down her guard, to make friends sincerely, lucky to meet a class teacher who treats students fairly, and that unexpected reunion, thinking of Song Yimian, Tao You's face appeared in front of all kinds of the past semester, constantly looping in front of her eyes, she couldn't help laughing again, and when she came back to her senses, her face was already a little stiff with a smile, she smiled, closed the window, rubbed her face, and muttered to herself: "What is in my head, don't think about it, it's the same as the devil, what does Song Fat have to think, No matter how much I think about it, there is no such thing as a result, and it is better to study. She hypnotized herself as she opened her bag.
"Xiaoyou, you have a holiday on Wednesday, right?" Daddy Tao knocked on the door with hot milk and came in.
Tao You looked up from a pile of papers, thought for a while, and said, "I still have to go to class, but there is no self-study in the evening and evening, what's wrong, do you want to go back to your hometown?" ”
Dad Tao put down the milk and said with a smile: "No, I'll just ask, it's close this year, go back on the first one, eh, your mother said that you and your classmates are going to go out to play when the time comes?" ”
After getting Tao You's nod, Dad Tao continued to ask, "Who are they?" ”
"Hong Xiqi, Song Yimian, Gu Yi." Tao You snapped his fingers, "It's just the four of us at the moment." ”
Dad Tao nodded, turned around and walked a few steps out, and then retreated: "Eh, then where are you going to play?" What time do you go? Anyone else? ”
Tao You lowered his shoulders, hooked the corners of his mouth, and replied patiently: "Go to see the fireworks show, come back from school and put a schoolbag and leave, there is no one else for the time being, I don't know if Hong Xiqi will call someone at that time, but there is a high probability that there are only a few of us." Dad, why are you asking this? ”
"Tsk, you're my daughter, of course I have to ask." Dad Tao said angrily, "But it's been a semester, why don't you have any new friends?" Every time you go out, there are only these three people, and your popularity is not good. ”
Tao You was not convinced, and retorted: "Who said that, I have a lot of friends, you don't know, but I have the best relationship with them, I am very comfortable with each other, and I know each other best, Song Yimian is more knowing, who else can I go with if I don't go out with them, I go out with other people, can you be completely assured?" Don't worry, I'm not feeling well. ”
Dad Tao shook his head, "That's still the most important thing for yourself to feel and be safe, if someone else joins at that time, you must tell us." ”
"Eh, are all your friends from the class?" Father Tao turned back and asked, seeing that Tao You was a little impatient, he continued, "One last question." ”
"Yes, and," Tao Yu paused, lowered his voice, and beckoned to Tao's father to get closer, before saying, "Some classmates from the tennis club." ”
Dad Tao blinked, coughed a few times, nodded and said, "Oh, okay, then, then you, you go on with your homework, don't forget to drink milk, go to bed early, good night." ”
"Got it, good night." Tao You replied slowly, his eyes revealing incomprehension, Father Tao's expression was a little awkward today, and he asked about these things that he never cared about, but he couldn't find any reason.
Here, Dad Tao returned to the bedroom, closed the door, made a reassuring gesture to Mom Tao who was sitting on the bed, and lowered his voice and said, "It's okay, don't worry." ”
"Didn't you see it, the way she was lying on the windowsill and laughing just now was so strange." Tao's mother just went to the balcony to close the window, Tao You's room is next to the balcony, from the side window can see her window and a small half of the desk, when she pulled the curtains, she happened to see Tao You lying on the window blowing the wind, and was about to open the window to remind her to hurry in and not catch a cold, the balcony did not turn on the light, she got closer to see Tao You is smiling stupidly, the smile does not look like she is thinking about something funny, but like a ...... The idea in her head was quickly vetoed by herself, and in the next second, Tao You had already closed the window and went in, because it was dark on the balcony, Tao You didn't see Tao's mother.
Tao's mother returned to the living room, there were still doubts, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was not wrong, but she did not immediately rush into Tao You's room to question, but went back to the bedroom to call Tao's father and asked him to come back quickly.
"You just think too much." Dad Tao got into the quilt and swiped his mobile phone, "Xiaoyou, you can't pay it yet."
Solution, she is so well-behaved, how can she fall in love. ”
Tao's mother snatched Tao's father's mobile phone: "That's not for sure, if it's just in the rebellious period, then smile so happily," Tao's mother said, gesturing with her hand on her face, "Those who fall in love on TV, don't they all act like this." ”
Tao You, who was doing her homework in the room, sneezed unexpectedly, and the pen slid a scratch on the sketchbook, and she rubbed her nose: "Who is talking about me." "Thinking of the wind that has been blowing for so long just now, I still plan to make a cold medicine for a while.
Dad Tao was helpless, put his hands around his chest, and reassured Tao's mother: "Who told you that you will definitely fall in love during the rebellious period, and that early love is not necessarily because of the rebellious period, watch less TV, read more books, TV is all fake, just watch it, go to bed early." ”
"The plot comes from life! What do you sleep on, what the hell did you just ask? Tao's mother was still not at ease, so she grabbed Tao's father, who was about to sleep.
Dad Tao sat up again, took a deep breath, and said: "I asked her who she went out with on New Year's Eve, and she said that for the time being, it was Hong Xiqi, Gu Yi, Song Yimian, and I don't know if there would be anyone in the back, but there was a high probability that it would be the four of them, and then I asked if there were any other friends at school, and she said that most of them were in the class, and they were gone." Then you've been to the parent-teacher conference before, and you've basically met her classmates, so there's nothing to worry about. "Dad Tao hid the information of the tennis club.
"Parent-teacher meeting, all the parents I saw were there, where were the students, and they didn't say a few words, what reference value did they have, she definitely had a problem, and there must be something to hide." Mother Tao leaned on the head of the bed, frowning and thinking, "Eh, you say, could it be Xiao Song or Xiao Gu?" Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she picked up her mobile phone, "No, I'll call Xiao Song and ask." ”
Father Tao's heart twitched, and he hurriedly stopped: "Why didn't I see that your brain is so big, let me tell you, it's absolutely impossible." ”
"You give me a reason, why can't it." Tao's mother has a posture of 'don't want to sleep if you don't make it clear today'.
"Xiao Song, who has been playing together since childhood, just the strength of the two of them, every time they meet, it is not refreshing not to fight, like an iron buddy, it is absolutely impossible to develop in this direction, that Xiao Gu, looking at Jiao'er Langdang, at first glance it is not the type that our daughter will like, those in the class who have an average relationship, it is even more impossible, she said that she wants to find someone as good as me." Dad Tao pointed to himself and said.
"You're praising yourself in disguise." Tao's mother laughed angrily at him, "It's so narcissistic, and the jokes I said when I was a child are also serious." ”
"Okay, it's so late, don't bother Xiao Song, you have full authority to me to take care of this matter, you put a hundred hearts, but if there is a little clue, I will report it to you immediately, and don't be excited to talk nonsense in front of the child." Father Tao patted his chest and promised, and did not forget to remind Mother Tao to control her temper.
"Okay." Tao's mother glanced at the time and felt that Tao's father was right, "Then I'll leave it to you, if something happens, I'll ask you." ”
Dad Tao nodded in agreement, and when the lights were turned off, he exhaled a long breath.
